Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 224
[Chapter 224 Enhancing Understanding]
In all fairness, Duncan was really sincere at this time—he admired this tough-willed and straightforward judge, and appreciated her performance in that disaster, and even if he put aside this appreciation, He also cherishes the special “node” of Fan Na very much.
If it weren’t for enough coincidences, it would not be so easy to place such a “node” among the top members of the church, and it would be even more difficult to establish the most basic “friendship” with it.
Fan Na is very straightforward, but this straightforwardness determines that she will not deny Duncan’s achievements in protecting Purand, and determines that no matter how awkward she is personally, she will treat this “big favor” fairly.
It’s just that Duncan’s sincerity is more or less scary to others.
A connection that cannot be broken like a curse, a subspace shadow that can invade one’s thinking at any time, a superior existence that is powerful enough to reverse the pollution of history but has no clear purpose—that is, Fan Na has a firm will, and it would be San if she changed her mind. Check has gone through several rounds.
Fan Na made up her mind, she met Duncan’s gaze without evasion, her heart was still full of vigilance, rationally, she still couldn’t believe every word this “ghost captain” said to her, even if the other party really said it. She protected Prand, and there might be a more terrifying conspiracy behind this act of protection—because similar conspiracies abound throughout history, but emotionally…
Her emotions are persuading herself not to trust reason too much.
“…What exactly do you want?” Fan Na took a light breath, and she once again expressed doubts, but this time, her doubts were not pure resistance and vigilance, but more serious— ——She wants to have a serious talk with this legendary captain and listen carefully to what the other party wants to say. Even if she is not a friend, she can temporarily not be an enemy.
After saying this, she paused, and then added: “Stop talking about ‘whole fries’…I want to hear something serious.”
“…Actually, ‘order French fries’ is serious.” Duncan looked helpless, “If possible, there is a lot of ketchup.”
Fan Na: “…?”
“I am improving the food on my ship, Isn’t that obvious?” Duncan laughed suddenly, and all of Fanna’s reactions did not exceed his expectations, and then he walked around in the mirror, as if sitting on something, and continued in a very relaxed manner. Said, “Fan Na, what do you think a captain like me is doing?
” … After calming down, after the figure in the mirror sat down, the follow-up topic seemed to be two friends chatting, “I… never thought about this problem…” “Yeah, you haven’t thought about it,
all Most people don’t think about these issues, because a scary ghost captain only needs to be in charge of ‘scary’. I’d better spend 24 hours constantly conceiving some conspiracies to subvert the world, so that it is more in line with the human design—— But actually?”
Duncan said, spreading his hands.
“I have a very, very big boat to take care of, and there are a lot of troublesome guys on that boat, and my ‘crew’ often makes troubles, and every time it makes the deck jump around for a long time, it fails. Food on the Xiang is another headache, but the bigger problem is the hot water supply. I am considering installing a boiler on the ship recently. Do you have any recommendations?” “I don’t know much about boilers
. …Wait, it’s not right, it’s not this,” Fan Na subconsciously said, she felt something was wrong just halfway through her words, she widened her eyes, and looked at the half-smiling Captain Ghost in the mirror, always feeling that there was something wrong in the other party’s smile Teasing and teasing himself, “Why are you telling me this all of a sudden? And… uh… are you serious?”
Duncan adjusted his posture, looked into Fanna’s eyes, and his expression gradually became serious: “Fan Na, have you noticed—I’m not as scary as you imagined. The unknown is the source of fear. Now, you have a certain understanding of me.”
Fan Na didn’t say a word for a while, because she couldn’t keep up with the captain’s rhythm at all, and she didn’t know how to answer at this moment.
But after a moment of silence, she still exhaled softly and tried to change the subject: “… You took away the sun shards, and you have cleared another major hidden danger in the city-state of Purand. I also agree with this matter.” It’s time to express my gratitude.”
The corner of Duncan’s mouth trembled subtly: “…It’s easy to do, I have a hobby of collecting.”
But in fact, what he wanted to say was that he had just sent the sun fragments back to Prand—although At first, Nina excitedly wanted to spend the night on the boat, but later she realized that she was too sleepy if she didn’t go home…
Duncan was afraid that when he said these words, he would be thrown in front of him…
Fanna didn’t pay attention Seeing the instant change in the other party’s expression, she just nodded lightly, and continued: “Now the order in the city-state has been gradually restored, and the aftermath of the pollution caused by the missionaries has completely subsided, and those cultists who summoned the black sun… They have become burnt firewood as they wished, and I hope you are satisfied with the result.”
“It’s okay, anyway, they will pop up sooner or later,” Duncan said casually, “Heretic worshipers are the breath of evil gods. And as long as those ‘roots’ are not eliminated, the cultists will not be wiped out—just continue to clean up next time we see each other.”
Fanna listened thoughtfully to every word Duncan said, with an expression on her face. Just a little curious: “It sounds…you have a bad relationship with those heretic worshipers.”
“You want to inquire about some information,” Duncan smiled, “because this is rare in the past hundred years, to be able to directly understand ‘Captain Duncan’ And the opportunity of the Lost Home—but you can ask directly.”
Fan Na was at a loss for words for a while, and her face became awkward, but soon, she heard the calm answer from the ghost captain in the mirror: “ I don’t like those heretics, neither the Sun Cultist nor the Final Missionary. As for the Annihilation Cultist who worships the Lord of the Deep… I don’t know much about it, but most of them should be lunatics who annoy me.
“So you can report this matter directly, saying that the Lost Homelander and the three major cults are enemies, and if conditions permit, Captain Duncan will be happy to destroy any cultist who appears in front of him—this The information should be useful.”
“…Thank you for your answer.” Fan Na hesitated for a moment, but still nodded seriously.
“Is there anything else you want to know?” Duncan asked again.
Fan Na pursed her lips.
Of course there is, but she doesn’t know if it’s the right choice to ask the ghost captain on the opposite side when it comes to issues involving her own beliefs being shaken and subspace.
In the end, she still did not talk about her confusion and wavering at the moment, but asked a question related to herself: “…I want to know whether the subspace will respond to the wishes of mortals—and the answer to this question What kind of price is required?”
Fan Na specifically mentioned “price” at the end, because she knew very well that this question was completely different from the conversation she had just had with the other party.
The conversation just now did not involve knowledge in the supernatural domain, but now this question…is seeking forbidden knowledge from a shadow returning from the warp, which is already a dangerous move.
She wasn’t afraid to pay the price, but she wanted to know what the price was.
“Don’t be so nervous, it doesn’t cost anything,” Duncan in the mirror laughed, “Because I really don’t know them well.”
Fan Na: “…ah?” “
Why does everyone think I know a lot about them ?” The secret of the subspace.” Duncan rubbed his forehead helplessly, “It’s true that I’ve been to that place, but I’m not conducting a census in the subspace—you live in the neighborhood, and you know everyone on the neighborhood. Alone?”
Fanna nodded: “I know you.”
Duncan: “…”
Fanna reacted all of a sudden, a little embarrassed and belatedly added: “Of course, there may be people who are not so familiar… Well, I see what you mean.”
“Although there is no way to answer your question, I can see that this problem is related to your bad state just now.” Duncan resumed his serious look, “You were entangled by something in the subspace? Fan
Na looked at Duncan in the mirror with a strange expression.
Duncan thought for a while, and added: “I mean other than me…” “
I don’t know.” Fan Na shook her head, and then she opened her mouth again as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn’t at the last moment speak out.
“Well, it seems that you still have some concerns, I can understand,” Duncan didn’t care, “but if it’s really something in the subspace that’s troubling you, you can ask me for help—at least in this field, I I can help you.”
Fanna fell silent, and after nearly ten seconds, she suddenly broke the silence: “Why?” “
You are asking me why I am willing to help you?” Duncan’s voice sounded from the mirror, To Fanna, the voice was still majestic and even a little gloomy, but at the moment it seemed to be more gentle and sincere, “Maybe it’s because you fought side by side in Purand——Fanna, I appreciate your perseverance and bravery.” .”
The figure in the mirror stood up.
The ghost captain seemed ready to leave.
Fan Na immediately breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she couldn’t tell whether she was being vigilant or cautious at the moment or pure nervousness was causing the trouble, but the other party’s intention to leave did make her suddenly relax a little.
But just when Duncan’s figure was about to completely disappear from the mirror, she seemed to remember something, and said suddenly: “Wait, there is one more thing.”
Duncan turned his face slightly: “Huh?”
“After that…” Fanna was a little stuck, and organized her words again before she hesitated to speak, “I mean, if you still plan to ‘appear’, can you stop being so sudden…” Duncan didn’t respond, his face was covered
in In the shadow deep in the mirror, there was no expression to be seen.
After a few seconds, Fan Na heard the other party’s voice: “Next time I will knock on the door.”
