The name of the Storm Goddess Gmorna appeared on the pass - and the writing felt familiar to Duncan.
Because he had seen before, back when he was in Puland, a person suspected to be the Storm Goddess left a message to thank him - he still had an impression of the handwriting of that "god?"
However, Vanna said that the pass was signed by Pope Helena.
She would not mistake something so obvious, and there was no need to tell such a meaningless lie. Then there was only one explanation - in her eyes, the name on the pass was indeed Helena.
Who saw the real thing? What does this completely different "presentation" mean in the eyes of the two people? What message does the Storm Goddess want to convey to herself in this way? Or what's the purpose of her doing this?
Duncan controlled the expression on his face and suppressed the surprise in his heart. He didn't feel any obvious violation from those pages, so he could only try to get some information from Vanna.
He raised his head and looked at the inquisitor lady opposite: "What did Helena say when she handed you the pass?"
"The Pope didn't say anything, he just said that what you asked for has been prepared," Vanna was still a little concerned about Duncan's weird attitude, but she replied immediately, and then she related the dispute between herself and the Pope at the assembly. The exchange process about the pass was told exactly in order to explain why the certificate was signed by Helena. After everything was said, she carefully observed Duncan's reaction and asked, "These things?? ????Is there something wrong?”
Duncan was silent for two seconds and then suddenly said: "??????No, no problem, these are good."
Fanna's performance does not seem to be fake, she obviously knows nothing, and what is more concerning is??????If there is no problem with the details described by Fanna, then that "Pope Helena"??? ???It seems that he is not aware of the change of signature on the pass.
Unless the pope used his acting skills - but why would she do that?
Vanna had been paying attention to Duncan's reaction. Although she had many doubts in her heart, she did not ask anything in the end, but immediately mentioned another very important thing:
"In addition, this time I entered the tomb as a listener - the parchment I brought out contained information about the new vision??????"
"New vision?" Duncan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and was a little surprised at the same time. "Isn't this a secret of your internal gathering? Is it okay to tell me directly like this?"
"Sooner or later, the changes in the vision list will be announced to the whole world. I am just telling you a little earlier. Besides, the new vision is related to you."
"oh?"
Vanna composed herself: "Vision - Frost, Vision - Homeless Ship, Vision - Homeless Fleet. Just like the situation with Plande, both have no numbers."
The empty deck was a little quiet for a while, with only the sound of the wind blowing by my ears and the waves crashing against the hull. It took a long time for Duncan to break the silence: "?????? Oh, there are quite a lot. "
"Well, there are indeed quite a few," Fanna said hesitantly, "Under normal circumstances, even a new vision would be a major event that would attract the attention of the Four Gods Church. This time, three new visions were directly updated. Visions, and one of them is the original number 005 of the Lost Home Number??????"
"So the churches and research organizations will be busier next?"
"There will probably be countless scholars losing countless hairs, and it will be difficult for several popes to sleep well in the next period of time?????? Even if the new vision does not show any danger, the subsequent divination rituals and data collection will It’s also a big project.”
Duncan thought for a while: "??????Oh, come on, they come on."
Even Fanna, who had always been calm and composed, finally managed to control her almost unstretched expression at this time. An unspeakable strange emotion spread in her heart. She held it in for a long time before she finally said: "What do you do?" party'
??????Don’t you have any ideas? "
Duncan thought carefully and looked at Vanna with a serious face: "Next time, I will try to make the noise less? Or you can go back and persuade your Pope to be more open-minded??????"
Fanna: "....
Miss Inquisitor seemed to be in confusion for a moment, but Duncan did not pay attention to her reaction. Instead, he raised his head and looked thoughtfully at the familiar decks, masts and the transparent sails of the spirit that were in mid-air.
The Lost Home sailed silently and reliably on this boundless sea as always. As the owner of this ship, Duncan did not feel any changes in it at all - but in the list of Vision 004 "The Tomb of the Unknown King", this The ship is no longer "Vision 005".
It lost its number.
What exactly does this change mean?
Duncan lowered his head and looked at his palm thoughtfully, and then his eyes fell on the pass again. The name "Gemona" exuded a strong sense of presence, attracting his attention.
He thought about the brief connection established between Agou and the God of Wisdom, and then thought about the strange dark space and the records he saw in the dark space that seemed to be conversations between gods.
"Fanna," he suddenly turned his head and looked into Fanna's eyes seriously, "How can we establish communication with the gods?"
Vanna woke up from her daze in an instant, and then she was startled by Duncan's words, looking a little at a loss: "Ah?! You said?????? establish communication with the gods?!"
"Yes," Duncan nodded, "establish communication with the gods."
He just thought of one thing: If there is really some kind of "communication platform" between the gods hidden in that strange dark space, and the "Book of Blasphemy" that was burned before was just used to open that darkness The "key" to space, then this "key" is likely to be in the hands of more than a few cult sects, or to put it another way -
Since even the "sacrilegious objects" in the hands of cultists can open a "communication platform" for the gods, what about the orthodox religions that are already closely connected with the four gods? Could the thing or technology in their hands actually be more effective? This is very logical.
Duncan had not thought in this direction before. On the one hand, he was affected by the inertia of his thinking. After all, the previous golden mask and this book of blasphemy were obtained from cultists, so he instinctively thought of looking for cultists. On the other hand, he was subconsciously avoiding this direction.
Because he has indeed seen the role of the Four Gods Sect in the city-state, he has a certain natural affinity for the forces behind Vanna and Morris - it is risky to pry into that dark space, the destroyed golden mask and the book of blasphemy This proves that the power of truth is beyond the power of any object. Once it is operated improperly, at least the "holy object" acting as a medium will be destroyed, and at worst, the lives of those who are assisting will be in danger. This risk??? ???It would be more appropriate to leave it to the cultists.
But now Duncan suddenly had a new idea.
The idea came from the signature of the Storm Goddess that appears on the pass.
This may be a sign of goodwill, or it may be some kind of reminder.
Of course, he couldn't explain it to Vanna in too much detail - after all, the latter was still a devout saint. If he said to her directly, "I think the sacred objects of cultists are too hard to find, so I want to use the sacred objects of your Deep Sea Church." "Try something" is definitely not appropriate, maybe she will hit her with a jump??????
Vanna didn't expect the reason behind Duncan's casual question. She was just surprised that the captain suddenly became interested in the gods, but soon she remembered that the other man seemed to have unique insights and research in the field of theology, so she took it seriously. After thinking for a while, he replied: "It depends on what kind of communication you are referring to - generally speaking, we call all acts of worshiping God "communication with God." Even if it is an evening prayer by ordinary believers, It’s all a conversation with God.
"On top of this, formal priests understand God's "knowledge" through years of training and practice, plus specific rituals and items, and draw power from this knowledge and truth, or listen to This is a further “communication” to God’s revelation.
"The level higher than this are saints like me. Saints don't need too complicated ritual preparations. They only need their own spiritual resonance to communicate with God's will relatively easily, because our spirituality and God's Their spirituality is connected??????.”
There was a hint of pride in Vanna's voice when she spoke to the end, but she found that Duncan frowned slightly - these answers were obviously not what the captain wanted.
"It's not this kind of communication," Duncan shook his head and slowly organized his words, hoping that Vanna could understand his intentions, "I mean??????more direct, closer, and more efficient? ?????Contact, do you understand? It’s not the kind of vague revelation you get in prayer, but the kind that can directly talk to the four gods.”
Fanna slowly opened her mouth wide and didn't recover for a long time.
So Duncan knew that he probably wouldn't be able to get an answer from her - as expected.
"Forget it, this is a bit unrealistic." He waved his hand and breathed softly, "The ritual techniques you used are of no use to me. Maybe it would be more effective if I just look for a few sacred books from the Four Gods Sect. "
Fanna blinked. As usual, she once again felt that she couldn't keep up with the captain's thoughts. But fortunately, the captain did not dwell on this weird topic.
"You go to the White Oak later and give the pass to Lawrence. I won't go there," Duncan ordered. "If he asks about the follow-up arrangements, let him temporarily move with the Homeless, and wait. The matter on Hanshuang's side has been completely settled, and we will discuss it in the long term."
Vanna lowered her head: "Yes, Captain."
Duncan nodded, but then, he seemed to hear something again, and frowned slightly: "Huh?" Vanna asked curiously: "What happened?" "
"Agatha came to me," Duncan said slowly, his expression becoming more serious, "She said she had found a way to dive into the deep sea.
