Chapter 749: Everyone who comes to Castel will go crazy
Old Vance had complained to others, but the responses he received were strange.
"Everyone who comes to Castel will probably go crazy once. It's normal." The security guard at the side answered absentmindedly.
Old Vance took a look at him. It was said that he was also from the North. Because of the war, all his family members died, leaving him alone, and he fled to Blood Harbor.
It is said that after arriving here, he converted to the Imperial Truth and attended classes in church all day long.
Thinking of this, Old Vance felt somewhat disdainful.
He had been a carpenter all his life and had never heard of anyone getting a good job done simply by going to church and praying.
Thinking of this, he looked up and saw the security guard taking out a holy book and opening it.
Haha, what’s the point of opening the holy book now? Does the holy book even say when the tsunami will end?
"The tsunami will end in five minutes. Let's get ready and go down later." The man in the safe zone said without looking up while flipping through a book.
Old Vance: “???”
His head was full of question marks.
What does this mean? Is this really written in the scriptures?
Old Vance felt more and more that he was probably crazy.
The people in the safe house didn't seem very nervous. They gathered in groups of three or four and talked. When they heard the sound of waves outside, they all gathered at the window and looked out.
Old Vance followed the others and went to the window, looking at the sea in the distance.
The weather was clear and the sea breeze was blowing. It should have been a peaceful day.
But on the sea in the distance, a white line was slowly and unstoppably approaching.
Old Vance narrowed his eyes.
The tsunami was not high at all. Old Vance might even think that it was just a bigger wave. But there was always a moment when the waves were covered. However, no matter what the white line encountered, it remained the same, neither high nor low, neither fast nor slow, it just kept coming.
Old Vance always had a strange feeling.
He thought of the big river where he occasionally went fishing. Once he saw a big guy in the river, a huge water monster. It scared him so much that he didn't dare to go out for several days.
The strange fish was swimming underwater and could not be seen from the shore. One could only see the water surface slightly arching and pushing forward.
The sea in front of him inexplicably reminded him of the strange fish in the river.
It was as if there was a giant beast in the sea, swimming quietly forward. It was so huge that one could not even see its edge.
It just moves forward in the water, with the waves following it, unstoppable.
How huge would that be? It would be a monster that filled the entire ocean.
Old Vance shuddered and came to his senses. He felt a chill on his back. He subconsciously reached out and touched it. The clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat.
He subconsciously wanted to pray, but he didn't know who to pray to - old Vance never believed in those churches in his life.
"Pray to the Lord."
Suddenly, he heard a voice in his ears. Old Vance turned his head and found that it was the security officer. He was holding the holy book in his hand. Feeling Old Vance's gaze, he smiled and nodded.
"Most people who come to Castel fall ill. I was the same when I first arrived. All I have to do is chant the Lord's name."
Praise the Lord's name?
Old Vance was a little confused. Although he had just arrived here, he still knew that his lord had been replaced by Xius.
What's the point of chanting the Lord's name? He's not a god.
Although he thought so, he still subconsciously read Hughes' name.
Strangely enough, the fear and confusion in his heart seemed to have really dissipated a little, and the trembling feeling just now also left him.
Old Vance looked up in surprise. It seemed that these people in the church were not so useless. At least they had successfully helped him drive away his fear.
For the first time in his life, Old Vance showed some interest in the church. His eyes swept over the security guard and fell on the holy book in his hand.
But after just one look, he was stunned.
It was densely covered with all kinds of twisted and strange symbols. Just one glance at it made people dizzy, as if they were staring into the bottomless abyss. An indescribable sense of fear instantly gripped their heart.
He had a strong intuition that the book must contain extremely blasphemous and terrifying forbidden knowledge, and anyone who touched it would be unfortunate.
"What is this?" he murmured subconsciously.
"Advanced mathematics."
After a teeth-grinding sound of metal friction, the door of the safe house was pushed open.
The safety officer, wearing a life jacket, peered outside for a long time before turning back and hailing:
"Everyone come out, this tsunami is over."
People responded randomly, squeezed out of the door, and walked down the stairs.
Old Vance tugged at his life jacket, feeling a little uncomfortable.
This dress is an extremely bright orange-red color and can help people float on the water.
But the safety officer told him that it would be better not to fall into the sea - the sea was too big, and unless there happened to be a banshee patrolling nearby, it would be really difficult to find people who fell into the water in a tsunami, even if they were wearing life jackets.
Old Vance agreed with this, and he was extremely careful as he walked down the concrete steps.
Speaking of which, Blood Harbor had such an amazing building material as concrete, but they still wanted a carpenter like him to come to the construction site, which was somewhat puzzling to him.
He also asked the security guard what he needed to do, but the answer he got was "You'll know later."
Walking down the tall lighthouse, Old Vance carefully stepped his boots on the muddy ground.
The tsunami just now brought seawater into the land. There is a specially built trough here, which is filled with water.
The lighthouse and the safe house are located on higher ground, so there isn't much water, the ground is just a little muddy.
"Open the gate." The safety officer shouted into the distance. The person at the embankment at the end of the flume waved his hand and then pulled down a joystick.
In the cement trough, seawater swirled and rushed towards the gate. Old Vance looked over there and saw that the accumulated seawater and the seawater released from other troughs merged together and poured into a dry river valley.
Only then did Old Vance notice that not only was his water tank built on the seashore, but many lighthouses and safe houses were densely packed in the area, and there were also several airships floating in the sky.
At this moment, countless water tanks were opened to release water at the same time, and the seawater that flowed back in gathered together and turned into a surging river, rushing towards the land.
The rushing river water seemed to be an extension of the tsunami, rushing forward enthusiastically, filling the dry riverbed in a moment, and flowing all the way forward.
Old Vance opened his eyes wide. He had only heard of rivers flowing into the sea, but this was the first time he saw water from the sea flowing into a river.
"Lord, may you bless me." This time he didn't need to be reminded, he chanted subconsciously.
