Vanna went to the prayer room deep in the crew area below the deck. After closing the door, she quickly set up the ritual venue required for psychic communication!
In this boundless sea with limited conditions, the ceremonial venue still uses materials that can be found on the ship. She uses a large candlestick instead of a brazier, her own prayer book instead of the necessary monsters, and she smears the floor with a mixture of salt and grease!
Drawing the runes of the storm and building a sacred site - since this was the second time she had done this, she was not as unfamiliar as the last time.
The feeling of being watched suddenly came from the side, causing the inquisitor lady who was busy setting up the ceremony place to stop suddenly!
She turned her head to look in the direction where the feeling of gaze came from, and saw a round mirror hanging on the wall in the corner of the room. The light and shadow in the mirror were undulating, and a lady with black hair and shawl was looking here curiously!
"Sorry~ I didn't mean to peek at other people's ceremonies," Agatha's voice came from the mirror, "I was just attracted by the movement here!"
"It's okay, this is not a secret ceremony." Fanna greeted this very special new "crew" who recently joined the Lost Home in a generous manner. "I'm about to contact the Church Ark!"
"Well, I know that although the ritual procedures of the Church of Death are slightly different, I can somewhat see what you are doing, but..."
Agatha in the mirror said, suddenly stopped with hesitation!
"But what?" Fanna asked doubtfully!
"Is it really okay to set up the ceremony site like this?" Agatha looked at the scene in the cabin very curiously. "It's okay to use a candlestick instead of a brazier. It's also justifiable to use an ordinary prayer book instead of a holy object, but it's okay to use something from the kitchen. Grains of salt are used instead of blessed 'pure salt', and cooking oil is used instead of holy oil! Are the rituals of the Deep Sea Church so free?"
Fanna suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "This... mainly because the conditions on the ship are limited. I ran out of holy oil before and forgot to replenish it when we docked! But according to experience, there is no problem!"
"Then it seems that you are indeed a saint favored by the goddess."
Agatha couldn't help but sigh, "Most priests would not dare to borrow the power of gods in such a casual way!"
The muscles on Fanna's face twitched twice, and she could only reply with a straight face: "Um, thank you!"
“Then I won’t bother you.
"Agatha in the mirror posed
I waved my hand and the figure slowly faded. I went to see what Shirley was doing. The captain asked me to supervise her homework. The mirror turned pitch black, and then gradually returned to the normal reflection!"
Fanna watched the lady in the mirror leave. She was dazed for a while, then turned to look at the ceremony venue she had just carefully decorated, and slowly frowned!
"Is it really suitable?"
She muttered with some self-doubt, then curled her finger and flicked it in the direction of the candlestick - the invisible force instantly ignited the candlestick, and the next second it turned into a rising and jumping flame that was far brighter than a normal candle. The fire lit up, and then the runes arranged around the ceremony venue began to crackle, gradually mixed with the sound of rising waves!
"Isn't this very useful!" Fanna sighed in her heart. The next second, she gradually lowered her spirit, so that her consciousness and five senses were gradually immersed in the sound of the rising waves around her. The ceremony attracted the attention of the gods, and the runes borrowed the power of the gods. Vanna allowed this power to affect her spirit, and used it as a medium to call to the church ark in the distance, waiting for Pope Helena's response!
Psychic resonance relies on rituals to borrow the power of the four gods, and uses this power to strengthen the originally weak hearts of mortals, so as to achieve contact with distant priests who share common beliefs. This ancient magic is everyone's It is a skill that formal priests must learn. Even today, as technology continues to develop, and even though humans have created convenient modern communication methods such as telegraphs and telephones, this kind of long-distance communication between priests is still a matter of great distance. An important way for city-states to exchange information!
Vanna felt like she had entered a long and dark tunnel, and her soul seemed to be flying rapidly in the tunnel. The tunnel looked like dark rock formations around it, but when she quickly passed by, the "rock formations" seemed to be floating. The hazy corrugated things look like they are coming to life!
Curbing distracting thoughts and concentrating on controlling unnecessary curiosity and the conscious impulse to reach out, Fanna silently recited the rules she was already familiar with, trying to avoid getting close to any physical boundaries in this "tunnel", and then, She saw a ray of light gradually emerging in front of her!
When heading to the Tomb of the Unknown King, a hazy and illusory space is quickly building at the end of the "dark tunnel" and an elegant and dignified figure appears in the field of vision!
Vanna stopped in front of that figure, and her own illusory black shadow quickly stabilized!
"Hail to you, Your Majesty the Pope!"
"No need to be formal, Vanna, this is not a public occasion."
Helena's shadow returned the salute, and then asked curiously: "Why did you call me suddenly?
What happened on that ship?"
"Everything is normal on the ship, but something else big happened."
Vanna took a gentle breath, regained her composure, and then slowly spoke, "I convey to you the warning from Duncan's Ship - the Homeless Ship is a warning to the entire civilized world!"
Bright lights illuminate the old bookshelves and ancient scrolls, and the exquisite alchemy equipment on the large walnut desk is maintaining a complex set of chemical reactions.
In the large and quaint study, an old elf with a stout figure and a kind face was sitting calmly at the desk. He is the leader of the Academy of Truth, the God of Wisdom, and Pope Rune of Lachem. This old elf is looking at the table. However, in his eyeballs, the alchemical device on his body reflected a scene from afar -
"The Lost Home is warning the entire civilized world. We have confirmed that there is an awakening phenomenon of the ancient god Shen Shen Lord in the deep sea under the frost. This awakening process may be repeated in any city-state. There is evidence that, The flesh and blood of the Netherworld Holy Lord exists in all things!" The short, fat and amiable old elf listened silently to the voice from afar, his expression gradually becoming serious, and when the other party finished speaking
He slowly stood up from the desk, walked towards a bookshelf at the end of the room, and said: "Maurice, if the most intense part of these news is released to the outside world, it will be regarded by the whole world as the most shocking heresy in history. , even the Annihilation Cults would think this is a bit extreme!"
"There is no apostasy on the road to truth, teacher. There are only two types of 'classics' created by mortals. One has been overturned, and the other is waiting to be overthrown. This is what you told me!"
Morris's voice sounded calm and powerful, with a kind of sharp and restrained persistence and courage, which made the old elf couldn't help but recall many years ago - when this extremely talented young human was still studying at the Academy of Truth. In his life, he also searched for all the answers with such persistence, and questioned every question with great courage!
This curiosity and power of action appear fierce and dangerous in a scholar. Driven by this force, countless talented young people will quickly climb the peak of truth, but many of them will In the process of climbing, you will be knocked down by the danger of knowledge itself. The other part will have the opportunity to calm down. Under the protection and guidance of the mentor, you will learn to suppress your own talents and learn how to drink the trickle of truth carefully!
And a smaller number, outstanding students like Morris, can choose the third path!
Master the shooting of various light weapons, the use of cold weapons, the explosive mystical self-protection and mixed martial arts skills in II years!
They are all the pride of Truth Academy and the martial arts schools affiliated with Truth Academy!
Luen stopped in front of the big bookshelf, reached out and pulled out a record book!
After opening it, I slowly flipped through it, and every page was filled with the voices, faces, and smiles of former excellent students!
Their most youthful looks are left in the magical pages of the book, standing shyly, waving to people outside the book, making faces, or laughing heartily!
A young human man stood at the door of the classroom, crossing his arms and looking confidently at the black and white image here. Underneath the black and white image was Morris!
The name Underwood, and the corresponding student status record!
"Yes, I taught you that there are only two kinds of mortal classics that have been overturned and those waiting to be overturned. There is no deviance on the road to truth, because the real truth does not need human approval, it exists forever!"
Lu En muttered softly as if talking to himself, looking at the student on the page with one eye, and in one of his eyeballs, the appearance of the student Jin Yu was still reflected - the white hair had climbed up to the temples, and The energetic young man in the student register is completely different!
Human lifespan is really short, and establishing a deep relationship with humans is actually a difficult and painful thing for elves!
These friends and students will always grow old quickly, and then turn into a cup of loess before the elves can react. Memories and farewells often come very abruptly, and every sentiment will be late, with irreparable regrets. !
But Luen is still willing to accept and teach apprentices from human society!
Because even in a short lifespan, these apprentices can still burst out with learning abilities that astonish the elves, and the desire for exploration and possibility that accompanies the short lifespan, in Lu En's view, are extremely valuable in the process of pursuing the truth. Traits!
Morris's voice sounded in his mind again: "Duncan Shipyard believes that it is necessary to inform the Four Gods Church of all the information we currently have. Only in the process of communicating with the city-states and the Explorers Association, we will conduct a selective reservation, because the Four Gods Church has the ability and sufficient knowledge to know how to deal with this warning!"
"This sounds very reasonable, but hasn't he thought of another possibility?" Lu En said slowly, "The content of this 'warning' is too horrifying, and it even seems to be a kind of heresy that is even worse than the Annihilation Cult's Xing theory. Extreme heretical arguments will be regarded by the church as a kind of hostility or even as a new heresy. For some more conservative priests... they will not first recognize this as a 'warning' but will tend to regard it as a 'warning'. An attack on their beliefs!"
"He doesn't care!"
"oh?
"
"The storm is coming, but there is thunder first as a warning - but the thunder itself does not care whether mortals are hiding. This is the attitude of the ship!"
"Reasonable!"
