Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 232
[Chapter 232 The Reliable Messenger Perli]
Ai flew into the store in a fluttering manner, stood on the banister of the stairs with his toes high and his chest upright, with a pair of mung bean eyes wandering around.
The big parrot with colorful tail feathers that flew in followed and flew into the shop, landed on the counter next to Duncan, and swaggered on the counter, as if he was at his own home.
Duncan looked at this guy who flew from nowhere with a look of astonishment, and the big parrot also raised his head and looked at Duncan without seeing anything. After a long time, he suddenly flapped his wings and made a loud and piercing voice: “Ah! Lee!”
“Your name is Polly?” Duncan asked curiously, he didn’t expect the parrot to really answer anything, after all, the essence of a parrot’s speech is just learning tongues, but he didn’t expect that the bird would actually respond after hearing his question. Zhenzhen nodded and waved his wings: “Purley! It’s called Perry!”
Duncan’s expression was numb, and he turned his head to look at Ai, who was standing proudly on the first floor on the banister of the stairs: “Where did you find this…” friend ‘?”
“There are friends coming from afar,” Ai immediately flapped his wings, looking at Duncan with one eye, and looking out of the window with the other, “Everyone is here!”
Nina beside him immediately asked curiously. Asked: “What does it mean?”
After knowing the secret of the Lost Home and Duncan, Nina of course also knew that Ai could talk. She was very surprised at the time, but now she has calmed down—just Like everyone else, she also had a hard time understanding the meaning of the pigeon’s strange words from time to time.
“Maybe it doesn’t know where the parrot came from,” Duncan used his imagination to translate for Ai, then turned his head to look at the parrot and the pigeon, and finally couldn’t help it after holding back for a long time, “Ai Yi …I don’t object to you making friends, but do you realize that you two species are different? You should find a pigeon…” “The sea is open to all rivers, and
tolerance is great,” the pigeon spirit tilted his head, his eyes staring blankly Shouting blankly, “Tolerance is great!”
Duncan: “…”
He often thinks about life and doubts himself in the process of talking with Ai, doubting whether he is communicating with this bird spirit on the same channel.
This feeling of seeming to be incompatible with everything but being able to communicate miraculously is really not an ordinary subtlety.
At this time, the attention of Shirley, Agou and Alice was also attracted, and the three “people” gathered at the counter to look at the big parrot that was not afraid of people. Alice even poked the wings of the big parrot curiously. , but the latter just jumped to the side twice to dodge for a while, then tilted his head and stared at the puppet.
“What is this?” Alice looked at Duncan curiously, “It looks completely different from Ai.”
Shirley immediately said, “Of course it’s different. It’s a parrot, and Ai is a pigeon.” “
The parrot is What?” Alice asked in her soul, “Can you eat it?”
“No,” Shirley shook her head, and then asked the puppet, “Why do you always care about this issue even if you don’t need to eat?” “
I’m responsible for giving Boat…Mr. Duncan is cooking!”
There was a lot of chatter around the counter, but Duncan didn’t get involved, he just looked at the big parrot that called himself “Purley” thoughtfully, and for some reason, he always fainted. Joyo felt that this bird looked familiar, as if… she had seen it somewhere not long ago.
“Where are you from? Why are you here?” he asked suddenly.
During the conversation just now, he had already faintly noticed that this parrot had a certain ability to communicate with people—this obviously proved that its origin was unusual. The big
parrot turned its head and tilted its head: “Poli! Go, send a message!”
“Send a message?”
After thinking about it, it opened its mouth after reminiscing for a while, but before it could say anything, it heard Ai beside him suddenly flying over, shouting loudly: “Order French fries!” The big parrot was
caught Startled: “Ah! Poli!”
“Order French fries!” The pigeon landed in front of the big parrot, nodding seriously, “Order French fries.”
“Purley?” “Order French fries!”
The two birds communicated like this, so that Duncan Had to interrupt from the side: “Stop—Ai, shut up. Poli, what letter do you want to send, and to whom?” The
big parrot was obviously stunned, and hesitated for several seconds before shaking back and forth Shaking his body: “Order french fries.”
Duncan: “…”
He suddenly realized one thing, no matter what the message the parrot was going to convey before, it has obviously forgotten it now…
And then, the parrot Poli seemed to have found some useful information from the remaining memory. It suddenly jumped up and flapped its wings vigorously: “Tell the captain, tell the captain! Tell… order French fries!” Afterwards, the
big The parrot yelled “French fries on the whole”, flapped its wings and flew straight to the door. Before everyone could react, it had already rushed out of the door, rushed into the sky, and accelerated all the way towards the upper city of the Puland city-state .
Nina wanted to stop the parrot, but she didn’t have time. She could only watch the parrot’s figure fly away with regret on her face, and turned her head to mutter: “Ah, it flew away.”
Duncan didn’t respond—after hearing Perry After Li yelled “tell the captain”, his face suddenly became serious, and at the same time he recalled why he was vaguely familiar with this parrot.
He had indeed seen the bird—in one of the cabins of the Seamist when the Lost Home and the Seamist passed by!
“Ay, catch up with that parrot.”
…
“That’s roughly the case.”
In a secluded reception room of the Prand Cathedral, the old bishop Valentine in casual clothes sat opposite the coffee table on the sofa said Tirian.
“The Lost Land finally took away the sun fragments, prevented the creeping sun disk from coming, and also eliminated the influence of historical pollution on the city-state-although we still can’t be sure…your father’s intentions.”
Tirian’s expression was a little subtle, but also a little stiff.
He couldn’t remember how many years he hadn’t been caught in this state of mind-blocking by amazement-he could understand every word the old bishop said, but even in his wildest and most bizarre dreams, he never Consider these things happen!
“The Lost Homeland really left just like that? It looks like it came here to save the ship?” The famous “pirate captain” said in disbelief, “It took away the sun fragments…and then what? That’s it? Didn’t you do anything else?”
Valentine exchanged glances with Fan Na who was next to him, both of them had a bit of helplessness and hesitation in their expressions.
Now that things are going on, it’s really hard to say “your father robbed half of the city’s French fries” in front of Tirian.
“…nothing else.” After hesitating again and again, the old bishop still couldn’t tell the matter, he shook his head and sighed, “I know you are confused—Mr. Tirian, we are as confused as you, If you don’t even know what your father wants to do, then we don’t know.”
“He hasn’t been my father since a century ago,” Tirian shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice “It’s just an imitation that was torn apart by the subspace and then pieced together by clumsy means. There is no humanity in the hollow body…” Tirian stopped suddenly when he said this. For some reason, he suddenly remembered
that During the few seconds when the Lost Home and the Seamist overlapped and passed by, I thought of the indifferent and alienated words I heard-
“I’m busy.”
The big pirate suddenly hesitated.
Is there really no humanity in that shell on the Lost Home? The voice that spoke to me at that time, and the breath I felt from that figure… Is it really just the hollow and frantic echo of the subspace?
Just when Tirian was so distracted, the voice of the young judge suddenly came from the opposite side, interrupting his cranky thoughts: “The question of whether Captain Duncan possesses ‘humanity’ is exactly what we are going to discuss next. .”
“Huh?” Tirian looked at Fanna suspiciously, “What does this mean?”
“Actually…” Fanna hesitated for a moment, then turned her head to exchange glances with Bishop Valentine, then nodded slightly, “We have had more than one communication with your father recently.”
Things related to the Lost Homeland are considered confidential information, especially the conversation with that Captain Duncan. These things should not have been revealed, but Tirian’s identity is so Special, these problems are obviously no longer a problem.
“Communication? You and my father?!” Tirian was taken aback and almost stood up from the sofa. “Isn’t this a nasty joke?
” Joking about this kind of thing after the destruction,” Fanna looked at Tirian calmly, then paused slightly, “Strictly speaking, I had several exchanges with your father, and according to my observation…’Captain Duncan’ It seems that it no longer matches the description in the data.”
Tirian noticed the serious attitude of the other party, he quickly calmed down, and his expression became extraordinarily serious: “Miss Judge, how did you establish communication? Why did he find you? And… what did he say?”
“At first it was an accident… no, now that I think about it, it may have been intentionally arranged by your father,” Fan Na collected her thoughts, and recalled as she spoke, “I contacted him to leave a message. As for why he chose me…Unfortunately, no one knows…”
Fanna withdrew details about her being “marked” and “pollution cannot be removed” , but vaguely summarized this process as “establishing a connection”, and then told the “pirate captain” in front of him the details of his several exchanges with Captain Duncan.
The man who theoretically knows Duncan Abu Normar the best.
