Chapter 674 - 674 671 News of the Gathering
?Chapter 674: Chapter 671: News of the Gathering Chapter 674: Chapter 671: News of the Gathering Morris’s speculation pointed to a dark future in which everything falls silent forever—it imbued a chill that far surpassed any bizarre destructive prophecies, far surpassing the apocalyptic disasters spoken in a madman’s dreams.
It was an icy, dark extinguishment. The last flare of light was to gradually die out amid the ashes of civilization. Civilizations’ afterglow choked step by step in the fatal contractions, much like a sinking ship where the desperate threw overboard their burdens in hopes of delaying their inevitable doom, but in the end, every plank on the ship inevitably fell into the Endless Dark Abyss.
Even more unacceptable was that, according to the existing intelligence, the likelihood of this future was extremely high – even, it was the best among all possibilities.
Because “civilization” at least had a chance to linger after the fourth or fifth long nights, at least it could enjoy some last fraudulent peace in the collapsing, continuously crumbling Shelter.
In worse cases, there might not be so many long nights following—the third long night had already been a “miracle” and “fortune” that couldn’t be replicated. The twilight that was coming would be the day when everything truly ends.
…Perhaps, this was actually a good result?
Duncan’s thoughts stirred chaotically in his mind, and he finally shook his head, putting these messy ideas aside for the moment, “We’ve fallen into pessimism, Morris.”
“Indeed, making these speculations when we can’t yet confirm when and in what form the fourth long night will come is a bit premature,” Morris rubbed his brow, finally breaking free from that somewhat pessimistic mood, “My mentor is organizing an ‘assembly’ that crosses the four major churches, this meeting will invite you, at least by then, we should be able to exchange more useful intelligence— the pontiffs of the four gods also need the truths we hold.”
Duncan nodded slightly. He wasn’t surprised by this news, as it was one of the “agreements” he had previously reached with the true Pope, Rune.
If you really had to say… He was somewhat curious about how that elf elder had convinced the other three god’s pontiffs to accept this “proposal”—Pontiff of the Deep Sea Helena wasn’t too difficult, for he had interacted with her in Praland and established contact through Fenna, the “Secret Envoy.” That Female Pope could mostly be considered a neutral and friendly camp leader, but the others…
The leader of the Fire Transmitters, Frem, might be interested in the “Chronicle Column” held by Fenna, but what about that Banster from the Death Church?
