Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 235
[Chapter 235 Harmonious Family]
Tirian had to take great pains to explain to his sister the strange changes that had happened to his “father”—and the strange things he had done in Prand.
“…I can feel that he is no longer the frenzied and chaotic shell of the subspace half a century ago. There seems to be ‘humanity’ and ‘reason’ in that body, but it feels very strange to me.” Strange… I’m not sure what’s in his body,” Tirian said slowly, frowning, “He seems to know me, but apart from this ‘knowledge’, I’m not sure how much he still knows. The father we are familiar with, he…has changed a lot.”
The black-haired woman on the other side of the crystal ball was silent for a few seconds, and said, “But it sounds better than the situation half a century ago at least.
” It can be said that,” Tirian said in a deep voice, “half a century ago, I stood on the bow of the Seamist and looked at that figure, wishing it wasn’t him. He… In any case, the Lost Country did not bring about such a huge disaster this time as in the past.”
Lucrecia did not respond, but suddenly mentioned something after thinking for a while: “Remember the last time I talked to Did you say that? Luni broke down suddenly and said that the ‘old master’ was looking for me… Now it seems that our father is really planning something.” “What will he plan?” Tirian
wrinkled Frowning, “Continue his last unfinished expedition that year? Recall the Lost Fleet?” “
I don’t know.”
Lucrezia said lightly.
At the same time, a disturbing shadow suddenly appeared in the crystal ball. Immediately behind Lucrezia, some of the automatic magic devices seemed to be malfunctioning. There was a faint crackling sound, and a group of automatic magic devices Even rushed to check the equipment, looking very busy.
“What’s going on with you?” Tirian was suddenly a little worried, “Do you need to deal with the pile of equipment behind you first?”
“Don’t worry, the puppets will solve it, it’s just a small problem, and it’s nothing compared to the real big storm on the border,” Lucrecia said calmly, without even looking back at the hectic scene, ” I’m almost crossing this unstable sea.”
“What’s your exploration plan? This time, you won’t be rushing directly into the fog, right? Let me remind you, the border is not a safe place…”
” I was tracking something. It suddenly appeared near the border and rushed into the sea with great energy, but the equipment on the ship did not have time to capture its specific image, “Lucrecia is still calm,” Don’t worry, it’s inside the curtain of eternity—I’m not reckless enough to challenge that thick fog. Well, I’ll send you the image after I find that thing. If it’s a material that can be divided, I’ll cut a piece for you. Souvenirs.”
Tirian waved his hand: “No, there are no bad souvenirs you sent over, and I want to sleep more.”
Lucrezia didn’t care, just said casually : “Then did you buy me a spirit world lens?”
Tirian was startled, and his tone suddenly became a little unnatural: “This…may have to wait for a while, you know, that thing will be lucky…”
“Did you forget?”
“Of course not, the suppliers I know are out of stock, but the four major churches have stock, but the procedures are too difficult…” “Did
you forget?”
“I’m trying my best,” Tirian looked serious, “There should be a way other than robbing.”
“Then it seems that you have indeed forgotten,” Lucrezia who was on the other side of the crystal ball already nodded her head, her tone full of early warning. The expected calm, “It’s okay, you are very busy, and this request is really difficult…”
Tirian listened to his sister’s words, his face became more relaxed, and then he heard the sound coming from the opposite side of the crystal ball. Half a sentence: “Then I will ask the day after tomorrow.”
Tirian: “…”
The big pirate wiped his forehead, as if he wanted to say something, but just as he was about to speak, a sound of flapping wings suddenly came from outside the window, interrupting his movement, followed by a sound of pecking at the glass.
“Wait a minute, there’s something wrong with me,” Tirian said quickly, and at the same time looked up, with a look of surprise on his face, “Polly?!”
He quickly got up, opened the window, and moved the big parrot with colorful tail Putting it in, Perry flapped his wings and landed on the table, making a loud voice: “Perley!”
Tirian returned to the table and sat down, while looking at the big parrot suspiciously: “Why are you here? From the boat? Or did Aiden send you?”
“Ah! Aiden, Piperley!” cried the big parrot, spreading its wings and nodding back and forth, “Perley has a message, an important message. Aiden said… Aiden said…”
The big parrot was a little stuck, and it took a long time before it yelled loudly under Tirian’s astonished gaze: “Order French fries! Order French fries!”
Tirian: “…?”
Lucrezia on the other side of the crystal ball also heard the movement here, and her doubtful voice came: “Brother, is Poli hungry?” “
…No, it should be conveying something else.” information, but the news has been tampered with,” Tirian reacted immediately, as the owner of Poli, he was very familiar with this big parrot, and he was also very familiar with Aiden’s character, and his expression quickly became serious. Get up, “Polly, did something happen on the boat?”
The big parrot tilted its head and looked at its owner, and repeated the unexplained “whole order of French fries” several times, but suddenly, it stopped again , as if he finally remembered something, he shouted excitedly: “Bloodseeking compass!” Tirian frowned slightly
: “Bloodseeking compass?”
Compass, point to the city-state!”
Tirian was stunned suddenly, and then he immediately reacted, his face changed, and he suddenly looked up at the crystal ball in front of him: “Lucy, he is…”
“Brother, leave Prand immediately,” Lucrezia on the other side of the crystal ball said hurriedly without waiting for Tirian to finish speaking, “This may be a trap!” Tirian hurriedly reminded his
sister Without any reaction, he sat there stiffly like a frozen sculpture, his eyes staring straight ahead.
“Brother?” Lucrezia’s voice was full of doubts, “Didn’t you hear that?”
“Lucy, he’s…” Tirian broke the silence softly, “…I’m across from you.” The voice
in the crystal ball The voice quieted down.
Tirian stared fixedly in front of him, at the opposite side of the table. On the wall over there, a slight green flame was floating on the surface of a decorative mirror with an oval frame, and amidst the flickering of the fire, a majestic figure was standing In the mirror, staring at this side calmly.
“The first thing,” said the figure in the mirror, “this is not a trap, and I was surprised that you came here.” The
second thing, I’m done, so I’ll see what you guys are up to. “
Tirian still maintained a posture of sitting upright without saying a word, and Lucrecia in the crystal ball was also stiff, but she couldn’t see the picture in the other direction, she could only hear the sound, which made her even more confused. Feeling uneasy, she couldn’t help but whisper: “Is he really there? Tirian
grabbed the box on the table expressionlessly, and turned the crystal ball and lens group to the opposite side: “Say hello to father.”
As soon as Tirian moved, Lucrezia’s voice became louder and her tone was urgent: “No, no, no, no need to turn around, I just…” She had already been turned
around.
Through the magic crystal ball, She saw her father hanging on the wall.
Duncan was also looking at the woman in the crystal ball through the mirror.
This was the first time he saw each other, and in his mind in this body, except for a little kindness, Except for the impression of nostalgia, he has no memory of getting along with the other party.
But the little bit of intimacy and nostalgia still slowly pervaded in his heart – he also had a similar feeling when he met Tirian, but facing Lucrecia at this moment, this feeling There seemed to be a little more… Guilt and regret.
Is it because you owe more? Or was it because of the last gift that could not be delivered?
Duncan didn’t know, after all, it wasn’t his own memory and feelings, but just because of his current status, he nodded to Lucrezia: “Long time no see, Lucy.” “
Uh…” Lucrezia Ya’s expression is rare and flustered. This “Sea Witch” who has come to others with a calm and mysterious image has finally encountered a situation that is even more incomprehensible than the unpredictable “border”. Before, back to the afternoon when he broke his father’s nautical instrument for the first time, “I… Long time no see…”
Then the room fell into an oppressive silence, and Duncan just watched the pair in front of him silently. “Son and daughter”, this kind of silent pressure seemed to be transmitted through the crystal ball to the distant border of the boundless sea. Lucrezia tried her best to find a topic in her mind to break the silence. After holding back for a long time, she finally emerged One sentence: “You… this frame matches you quite well…”
Duncan: “…Huh?”
“I mean, your current frame with patterns is especially suitable for your demeanor…” Lucrece Ya made up in a panic, “Restrained, low-key, and…” “
…Huh?”
“Especially when you hang on the wall…”
Duncan was stunned: “What the hell are you trying to say?”
Luke Leizia finally turned her head to the side, as if she wanted to find Tirian’s position, and muttered in a low voice, “Help me…”
Tirian sighed, and pushed the suitcase with the crystal ball aside, Get up and come between the crystal ball and the mirror frame: “You came to see us, what’s the matter?”
