In the end, the monks still didn't wait for the priest's signal to take action.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although they did not lack the courage to report their work to Heavenly Father in person, the ending of the report would not be pretty if it were caused by unnecessary internal fighting.
What's more, in this ghostly place where you can't reach the sky or reach the ground, it's hard to tell where you will be sent after death.
Everyone here has walked through the sewer system and the royal tombs. The various signs seen along the way are close to explicit, and there are more or less guesses. Speaking out is just bringing the matter to the surface.
And this shows that that kind of unstoppable power has been utilized in the past and has been maintained relatively stably for a period of time.
The most important thing is that Kraft's state proves this point from the side. After a few simple conversations, it is easy to judge that compared to those crazy and inexplicable pagans, he does not seem to show obvious changes in character or values.
There is no aggressive tendency either.
Not yet.
After realizing this, what they were worried about was Green's insistence on sticking to his dogma and taking all actions that used unnatural power to the end.
Fortunately, the priest was more rational and flexible than he thought. He did not do that. He took the lead and put down the crossbow with a string that was about to soak. He stepped forward and extended his hand, pulled the other person up from the water, and held him up high at the stern of the boat to sit down.
"how did you do it?"
"Similar to inspiration?" Kraft pulled the soaked sleeve back to his wrist, "It's like for a moment, you and your swordsmanship teacher are connected, and you understand how he does a certain action."
"I haven't seen him in some years, but I'm sure that wasn't the way he learned it back then."
"This is an analogy, just to help with understanding. You can't make a person born blind understand light, and I can't exactly make people understand an experience that breaks away from conventional cognition."
Greene tried to find the specific experience he was describing, but found nothing except lingering pain.
He pressed his knuckles against the sides of his head and felt water pouring into his ears through the holes, shaking and swelling. "It sounds like your thinking is quite clear, which is good. Please keep it up."
The monks continued their unfinished work. The attack they had just encountered made them deliberately control the movement, but they were not too tense and relaxed a little.
The peaceful settlement of suspicion means that there is a new force in the team. It must be admitted that this brings a good sense of security. Before the professor suddenly develops any mental problems, he should not have to worry about how to deal with the scattered special aquatic products in the lake.
They did the best work their physical strength allowed, emptied the belly of the ship, emptied and reused the water-intake barrels, took stock of the current supplies, and then came to a gratifying conclusion: although most of them were wet, there was a lot left.
.
Relying on flint, fuel, and a small amount of cloth and bedding hay that had been preserved because it was packed very tightly, an open fire was lit in a small metal shield that served as a makeshift basin.
Light and heat are back here, although not much.
The brain that gradually warmed up and thawed began to think about the current situation.
They can put aside the native or invasive aquatic species here and face a more practical question: Where to go?
A ship that has lost its effective reference cannot find its direction of return at all, which is more troublesome than a ship that is thrown off the route by a storm. The ship can still rely on the stars to determine its direction, but there is only darkness above them.
There seemed to be only two choices left before us, either to find a random direction and leave our fate to the invisible hands of Heavenly Father; or to find an island in the middle of the lake to dock and wait for rescue.
If forced to choose, most people would prefer the former.
For reason, it is unrealistic to expect rescue to find them in the lake; for love, no one likes Father "Theodore" of the other team, even Green, who claims to be working together, has a grudge.
Kraft made up his mind to stay away from that "Theodore". The person who Green couldn't tolerate probably had some serious moral or behavioral flaws, or more likely both.
So this is no longer a multiple choice question.
He randomly decided the direction by throwing arrows and started rowing aimlessly.
The boat was thrown too far, and the time spent dazed in the huge waves was worth dozens of minutes of paddling.
The specific location cannot be determined, but based on the impression before losing consciousness, it is guessed that it may have entered deeper into the water now.
Changing the viewing angle only confirms once again that there are no previous reference objects around.
Since they could only rely on the outline of the giant pillar in the distance as a reference, they paddled for a while before discovering that the direction was always different from expected. The lake was not as calm as it appeared, and there was an undercurrent surging under the water that had not subsided, constantly taking the boat away from the course.
, and make any attempt to correct it take twice as much effort.
This discovery allowed the team to temporarily give up their useless attempts, choose to conserve energy, and give control to the lake itself.
After confirming that the current efforts were meaningless, the mentality became calmer. The team members sat around the flame of the buckler, baking and sharing food.
These solid wheat flour baked products are suspected to be the most waterproof material here. After drying the surface and breaking them open, the inside is still dry. When eaten with the marinated and air-dried meat protected by the oil film, it can be called the pinnacle of today's food safety.
The taste is not ideal, but it can be given full marks in terms of satiety and energy replenishment.
It is not recommended to worry about the nitrite problem, at least it is much better than mold spots inside the food.
The food is quite sufficient, and the time that can be sustained under the condition of saving can be counted in the sky. A palm-sized pancake is stuffed into the stomach. Regardless of whether the calories are sufficient, at least the digestive tract will not want to accept any more foreign objects within a few hours.
.Some things are unpalatable for their own reasons.
The water took over control, and perhaps it was not Heavenly Father who decided where they would go, but the will of the lake.
Although it is impossible to judge accurately, the moving speed is not inferior to that of active rowing. The boat does not spin in place, but is carried along and drifts, as if there is a hidden preset path in the water.
It was impossible to estimate the time underground. Just when they were finishing eating and resting, Kraft's physical speed seemed to be slightly faster.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The direction is unclear, and the direction of progress is a changing arc. Frequent slight shaking means that the operation is not smooth. The underwater scene in the body presents a chaotic and complex picture, rapid and rapid.
Heavy and slow, they intersect and collide with each other, forming countless vortexes and turbulence, but there is a guide.
They passed by another huge pillar supporting the underground world. At the foot of this magnificent spectacle were scattered the kind of buildings they had seen before. They were even larger and denser, like a wheat field harvested by a scythe, ending abruptly in mid-air.
, the breakpoints are connected into a smooth section.
The cut surface extends towards the giant pillar, leaving scars that go around half a circle of the pillar to fully see the head and tail. The stress of the rock layer is released here, cracking and extruding to form a fang-like shape. The disturbing dislocation makes the entire structure visually
It is no longer strong and reliable, and has a fragile feeling that it will collapse with the dome above at any time.
Compared with the traces here, the activity on the lake bed that I experienced not long ago was indeed like breathing in my sleep at most. When I fully woke up, the pain released was enough to cause irreversible damage to the geological structure that seemed stable but was actually extremely dangerous.
In the face of this kind of power, it is really impossible to imagine what role a few humans can play. Even if some of them steal some of Wei Li's skin, it is meaningless.
They just drifted with the water, staring at the giant pillar disappearing into the mist behind them again, turning into an outline lacking details. The fear emanating from that frightening scar still made the body tremble slightly after it disappeared from sight.
This is definitely not on the way back, but on being swept towards the center along the whirlpool.
The clusters of prismatic rocks that emerged proved this, and the undercurrent pushed the ship down here and merged into the dangerous shoal with unknown water conditions ahead.
There was a faint flicker on the water surface, but it did not flow with it, stuck between the undulating waves. Intuition drove Kraft to raise his head, and the dots of starlight inlaid on the high dome were reflected in the deep lake and in his eyes.
