Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 209
[Chapter 209 A Word of Communication After a Hundred Years Away]
Away On the boundless sea, two warships each carrying a curse are running straight towards each other, and around these two big ships, the ocean has been stirred by invisible forces, and even a certain The celestial phenomena within the range have changed.
The cold fog around the Sea Fog spread, large and small ice floes began to appear out of thin air on the sea surface, and even formed a group of ice floes covering several nautical miles, constantly turning like a whirlpool, the originally calm sea was now choppy Ups and downs, waves that are stronger than waves are constantly rising, mixed with chaotic cold winds, while the Lost Country is wrapped in layers of green flames, penetrating all extreme celestial phenomena like a rainbow, and rushing straight to The steel battleship in the center of the ice floes.
The Seafog is also speeding up, all its engines are screaming like dying, the rudder is adjusting the angle without anyone controlling it, and the whistle of the shipboard church is non-stop, this sacred sound is like a death knell at this moment— ——The undead sailors stood on the deck, on the gun positions, and behind the portholes, watching the battleship under their feet rushing forward to the burning ghost ship, and Tirian, who was on the bridge, even Already he could vaguely see the figure on the tall stern of the Lost Home.
He saw the tall man holding the steering wheel, standing on the boat like a rock in a storm, staring at himself with indifferent eyes.
So much like he remembered.
Then, without accident, the two ships “collided”.
The expected devastating impact and disintegration did not come.
In the next minute, the crew of the Seafog experienced the same horrifying and weird “spectacle” as the original White Oak – the burning ghost ship rolled over like a mountain, and then the ghost flames rose blazingly , In the flames, the boundaries of all things became blurred, the Seamist became a spirit body, and the crew also became spirit bodies. This scene was like a phantom crashing into another phantom.
The first mate Aiden stared in horror. He saw the bow and mast of the Lost Country rushing towards him, and then Qiu passed him without a trace. He briefly broke into the Lost Homeland. He saw the quaint uprights and flaming lanterns almost whistling past his ears—at last he saw the towering stern deck of the Lost Country, and the tall figure standing behind the wheel.
Tirian took half a step back subconsciously, but in the next second, he puffed up his chest again, as if a certain teaching from his father in his childhood was still in his ears – “
Don’t back down, don’t bow your head to the wind and waves!”
So he propped up Head, facing the storm in front of him—his father who was taken away by the subspace and returned to the human world.
Then, they came face-to-face at an extremely close distance, with the stern structure of the Lost Home directly breaking into the bridge, and Duncan was standing only a few steps away from the captain’s bench of the Seamist.
At this moment, it seems that the whole world is quiet.
A dignified and deep voice came to everyone’s ears: “I’m busy.”
Tirian’s eyes widened in astonishment, and he suddenly looked in the direction of the voice.
However, this temporary meeting was over, and the two phantoms sailing at full speed only overlapped for a very brief moment. The illusory hull of the Lost Homeland swept around the Sea Mist like a gust of wind. When Tirian came back to react, He found himself and his crew back in physical form.
He suddenly ran to the observation window in the other direction, and saw that the Lost Country was sailing at full speed in the direction of Pland–leaving the Seamist far behind.
The steel battleship came to a halt on the sea bit by bit, the invisible force that was agitating the ship subsided, and now it returned to the hands of the helmsman again, the severely damaged engine system was finally successfully shut down thanks to the efforts of the sailors. Stop, but it seems that it is not an easy thing to start again.
“…What happened just now?” Aiden scratched his bare head, and the strong first officer looked astonished, “That ship… just left? Isn’t it going to be a fight to the death?”
The boatswain said with lingering fear: “…it seems that it didn’t intend to fight us to the death from the very beginning, it didn’t slow down much, it just came and ran over us…” “It’s terrible, I even feel like my heart just
now Jumped up again…”
Tirian heard the commotion from the crew, but he was not in the mood to listen at all. He just kept echoing the short sentence just now in his mind-“
I am very happy. Busy.”
That’s what my father said—no emotion, not a “greeting” for family members at all, even indifferent as if facing a stranger, but it is indeed a sentence that humans can understand, A clear and sensible sentence.
Rather than the frantic roar that belongs exclusively to the subspace.
“Captain,” the first mate Aiden walked over from the side, looking at Tirian who was falling into silence with some anxiety, “What shall we do next…?”
Tirian woke up from his thoughts and raised his head: “The ship can still move. Is it?”
“Not good, the engine is off now, and it will take a while to repair it, and many people were injured in the battle just now… quite serious injuries, the kind that are broken all over the ground, it takes a long time to shovel them “” Aiden shook his head, his bright forehead glowing, “but the most incredible thing is that those who were directly hit by the Lost Homelander’s artillery were all right. The No. 1 and No. 3 main guns completely disappeared, and the people in the fort But it fell into the hole intact…”
“The people who were hit by the aftershock were seriously injured, but the people who were directly hit didn’t die?” Tirian confirmed it in surprise, then frowned, “How could this be… …”
“Perhaps… your father didn’t kill him?” Aiden glanced at his captain and said cautiously, “From the shelling of the Lost Country, it seems that it just wants to stop the Sea Fog…”
“No…” Tirian said subconsciously, but then closed his mouth. After a few seconds of silence, he shook his head lightly, “Hurry up and let the ship recover, and at the same time send a report to Prand, Let’s just say that we have tried our best to intercept it, but the Lost Country is still headed towards the city-state…the rest will be left to the city-state’s large navy to find a way, we have worked hard.”
Aiden immediately took the order to leave, but after a while, he hurried back: “Captain! We can’t get in touch with Prand!” “Can’t get in touch?”
Tirian frowned, “Yes The signal environment was disturbed by the battle just now?”
“No, we can still receive the signal from the patrol point in the open sea, but we can’t receive the signal from Prand, all the signals,” Aiden said quickly, with a confused expression on his face, “The entire Prand seems to have disappeared from the radio… At this distance, this is simply impossible. Not only can the optical telegram fail to contact, even the psionic call from the church has not responded!” “Psychic
call No response either?!” This time, the expression on Tirian’s face changed significantly, and at the same time, he thought of the abnormal behavior of the Lost Homelander rushing to Purand at full speed at all costs. The uneasiness finally floated in his mind, “When was the communication interrupted? Is someone monitoring the telegraph station?” “The
last call was yesterday. We made a routine report with the Port of Pland Bureau. At that time, the communication was still all Normal,” Aiden recalled, and said quickly, “Captain, what should we do? Are we going back?”
He paused at this point, with a hesitant expression on his face: “This matter… this matter It’s already a bit beyond the original plan.”
Tirian’s face was tense, and he didn’t speak for several seconds, and finally took a deep breath.
“We’ll go to Purland—we’ll leave after the Seafog recovers.”
Aiden was a little surprised, but after a brief astonishment, the loyal first officer immediately puffed up his chest: “Yes, Captain!”
…
The surrounding turbulent sea gradually returned to calm, only the sound of the waves was heard.
The deafening artillery roar still seemed to be echoing in his mind, making Duncan scratch his ears subconsciously—he was obviously not quite used to the sudden encounter just now.
The voice of the goat’s head reached his ears: “Just now you accelerated straight towards the Seamist, I thought you wanted to say a few words to Tirian, after all… this is an extraordinary ‘reunion’ “
“I did think so at the beginning,” Duncan replied casually, “It’s just that I suddenly changed my mind.” “
Why?”
“…After meeting, I suddenly found that I didn’t know what to say,” Duncan said frankly. After having a “showdown” in a certain sense, he was no longer as cautious as he was at the beginning, “I’m not
familiar with you after all.” “… Well, you have the final say.” It’s better to think about how to get along with your ‘children’.” After all, everyone is able to live, and you still have to meet them sooner or later. A good family relationship is very important to the fate. I think there was a …
“Shut up,” Duncan interrupted the other party’s divergent topic with ease, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, with a strange expression on his face, “Speaking of which, it’s a pity that there are fewer people on board this time. “
Goat’s head hesitated: “There is someone missing? You mean…”
“Alice is not here, she is helping to look after the store in the city-state,” Duncan said in a leisurely tone, even with a little joy, “I suddenly remembered , Tirian stayed under the command of the Frost Queen for a while back then, and Alice faced the Frost Queen’s face—you said it would be so interesting if Alice was on the boat just now, I reckon Tirian will be able to I’ve been thinking about it for a few days…”
Goat Head: “…”
“Why are you silent? Don’t you usually talk a lot?”
“I can’t comment on your family affairs…” Goat Head replied, “But listen to you Having said that, I seem to think that this scene is worth looking forward to… How about we go back and bring Miss Alice with me this time…”
Of course Duncan ignored this whimsical proposal, he just remained silent for two seconds Zhong Hou suddenly said: “I didn’t realize that you are also a fun person.”
“What is a fun person?”
Duncan didn’t answer the other party again, he just raised his head suddenly and looked towards a certain direction on the distant sea.
At just a moment ago, he clearly sensed his body in the city-state of Purand on the Lost Country, and even sensed the flames spreading everywhere in the city-state.
Just as he had expected before, after getting close enough, the connection between the Lost Homelander and Prand… strengthened!
