Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 181 Historians Talk About History
What is the problem?This is a big problem! !

Duncan stared at the old gentleman in front of him, and soon he realized that Morris didn't understand what the jet of flames he saw in his eyes meant—this scholar didn't know about sun fragments, he It is very likely that Nina is regarded as another "extraordinary existence", such as Duncan's dependents, or something that also ran out of the subspace.

Morris really thought so. The moment he saw the gushing flame, he regarded his "student" as an existence similar to Duncan. As for why this "subspace family" looked like a giant One looked like a flame, and he didn't think much about it at all—it's normal for evil sects to do things in the subspace, anyway, there is no living person there, and the bosses just grow up casually...

However, seeing Duncan's reaction now, Morris finally vaguely realized that the situation might be different from what he had guessed.

"Nina, she..." the old man said hesitantly. After experiencing the fear and shock just now, he actually felt a little worried at this moment—worried about his own students.

He himself even felt that this worry was a bit ridiculous, because that burst of flame...no matter what its body was, it was obviously so powerful that it was unimaginably powerful. Such a powerful existence could not be his fragile and ordinary student.

Duncan shook his head.

"Nina is different from me—she is an ordinary person, she has always been," he said slowly, with a serious expression on his face, "she doesn't know what's special about herself, as for the flame you mentioned Flow...that could be 'something else'."

"I do not quite understand."

Duncan looked at Morris for a while, but in the end he didn't directly mention the sun shards, but suddenly changed the subject: "Do you know anything about the so-called 'real sun god' worshiped by the Sun Cultists?"

"The real sun god?" Morris frowned, not knowing why the other party brought the topic here suddenly, but he quickly replied, "Of course I know something about it, after all, those cultists have existed for a long time, and their Many sacrificial activities are actually part of historical research.

"The real sun god is what they call their own gods, but usually believers of the righteous gods don't say that - we call them 'black sun' or 'dark sun god', and in some ancient books, there are also ancient Scholars call him the 'creeping sun'."

"Creep sun disk?" Duncan raised his eyebrows. He had heard the saying of the black sun, but this was the first time he heard the name "creep sun disk", and this name immediately reminded him of himself. What had been seen through the medium of the sun mask—dead limbs covered by a glorious corona, strange old gods blazing.

"Yes, the name is seldom mentioned outside the professional world, because it is a record handed down from the Old Kingdom, the first manuscripts of which were written in the Cretan script, which led to the appellation 'Creep Sun'. It has a certain mystical tendency, and it may have a bad influence if it spreads too widely among ordinary people."

Morris nodded, explaining the details. When talking about the academic field, he seemed to have forgotten the terrible "reality" behind Duncan, and went back to visiting this antique shop a few days ago, talking with the owner. When talking happily.

He even felt the humming noise in his head disappear unconsciously.

"The ancient kingdom of Crete..." Duncan was quite surprised, "The cultists who worship the sun god have such a long history?!"

"...yes, as incredible as it is, those heresies that worship the creeping sun disc can even be traced back to the heyday of the Old Kingdom, and considering that today's Vision 001-Sun came after the collapse of the Old Kingdom of Crete Rising from the sea..." Morris paused when he said this, and seemed to be quite entangled for a few seconds before continuing, "Actually, the orthodox academic circles and the Church of the Four Gods have always been reluctant to discuss this issue head-on—consider In the age of the vision sun rising, the belief in the black sun is actually longer than the history of vision 001..."

Duncan didn't say anything for a while.

The history of the black sun is longer than the history of the miraculous sun. This is a very reasonable fact, but it is a fact that the Church of the Four Gods is reluctant to admit.

For acknowledging this fact means acknowledging something else at the same time—one of the claims of those sun believers is true:

The "true sun god" was the real sun in ancient times, and the miraculous sun that came from behind was actually a "blasphemous creation" that stole the authority of the sun.

"...So, what the group of Sun Cultists said is true, before the age of the deep sea, it was their 'lord' who illuminated this world," Duncan said suddenly after half a minute of silence, "If you press 'Who is ancient? who orthodox' standards, they are orthodox."

"Academia is full of factions and claims, and this is the most deviant of all deviant ones—almost half-footed on the borderline of heresy," Morris sighed. "But Crete The existence of many manuscripts in the Kingdom does not allow us to avoid this question."

"Let's just assume that those cultists have some truths," Duncan shook his head lightly, "but this cannot change the fact that their beliefs are very dangerous to the world today, after all, no matter what their master was before the deep sea age , His current state... tsk tsk."

Morris listened and suddenly reacted.

He woke up from the peaceful atmosphere of discussing academic issues with his acquaintances, and looked at Duncan in surprise: "Wait, the implication of the words... Could it be that you..."

"I happened to meet once," Duncan thought for a while, and felt that it was still necessary to come up with some valuable information to chat with the old gentleman. After all, he had already obtained so much knowledge from this scholar for nothing, and he always took advantage of it. I feel sorry too, "How should I put it... I can't stand the misery, and there is no hope of recovery. I don't think the actions of those sun believers can save their Lord - but I think they are making their own The owner is pushing in a more crazy and twisted direction."

He paused, and looked at the old gentleman opposite: "Do you want me to tell you what he looks like now? Maybe you can have some spirit..."

Morris felt his mind trembling when Duncan started talking just now. At this time, he finally seized the opportunity while taking advantage of the short pause of the other party, and suddenly exclaimed: "No need!"

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to feel that this was a bit offensive, coughed twice, and said with a serious and awe-inspiring face: "This is not the knowledge I should be exposed to."

"... Oh yes, I'm sorry," Duncan was taken aback, and he quickly waved his hand, "Then we won't discuss this topic. Let's talk about the Black Sun belief in the real world—those cultists have been trying to revive them Lord, but their simple and crude human sacrifices have never had any effect, so have they achieved any 'results' in history?"

"The heresy of the sun has caused a lot of damage, but when it comes to 'reviving the sun', how can it be done by mortal power?" Morris recalled, and said slowly, "As far as I know, in history There are only a few records of the power of the upper black sun appearing on a large scale.

"The earliest record was at the end of the Chaotic Dynasty. Due to the long-term accumulation of a large number of historical problems after the collapse of the ancient Kingdom of Crete, several city-states continued to break out scuffles and famines, and the sun heresy took advantage of it. The city-state made a bloody sacrifice, and later summoned a huge living fireball, which floated over Charon for five days before dissipating, and finally melted the entire city-state into a single piece of glass.

"Another time happened in the era of classical city-states. The specific cause is unknown. As a result, several small city-states on the edge of the civilized world disappeared overnight-witness records show that a huge luminous crack appeared in the sky, and the sun rose from the crack, and the city-state It was pulled up from the sea by the huge gravity, torn into long and thin strips and fell into it.

"The most recent one happened at the beginning of the new city-state calendar, and it was also the weirdest one, because that disaster did not leave any witness reports or damage reports at all, no evidence, no records, no one knew and remembered, and even... said It is not allowed to specify which year the incident happened, and where it happened..."

Duncan listened with astonishment, and finally couldn't help but say: "No one knows it happened? Then how can the power of the black sun appear on a large scale? People don't even know which city-state was attacked?"

"Yes, it's so weird, it's beyond the field that ordinary scholars would study, but my status in the Institute of Truth allows me to get in touch with some relevant information," Morris nodded, and said seriously, "Then It did happen, because one morning, a line of writing suddenly appeared on the firebringer church's holiest 'chronicle'.

"That line mentioned a city-state that didn't exist at all, and there was only one sentence in total:

"Wilhelm's final message, the black sun descended from history, and we failed."
