Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 280

[Chapter 280 Agreement Reached]

Compared with Fanna’s at a loss at the moment, Pope Helena’s attitude is always indifferent. She has a smile on her face, and there seems to be a little joy in that smile.

However, Fan Na couldn’t be happy at all—and couldn’t be more “reasonable”!

“I think… this incident was too sudden,” the young lady judge racked her brains to think, she had no idea why the topic suddenly turned to this wicked direction, and she was trying her best to keep her logic up to date Excessive speed, “I understand the need to establish communication with the Lost Home, but I think this should be done step by step, and if it’s just for communication, we already have a communication channel now, that Captain Duncan…” “

He I will visit you in the dream, or talk to you through the mirror, right?” Helena interrupted Fanna’s words with a gentle voice, “I know, you mentioned it in the report.” “Then…

“

” That’s not enough.” Helena smiled and shook her head, “It’s just a ‘conversation’, a private conversation between Captain Duncan and you. It is the official channel between the Deep Sea Church and the Lost Home, Fanna, you should understand the difference between them.” Fanna’s lips

twitched a few times, thousands of words surged in her throat, but she didn’t say anything in the end .

She has confirmed that this is not a joke, and it is not a whim arrangement by the “Advocate of God” in front of her. From Helena’s attitude and eyes, Fanna has noticed something well thought out, and…something she is currently temporarily Feelings that are still incomprehensible.

After a while, she suddenly asked: “Goddess’ will?”

“You can understand it this way—if it makes you feel better.”

“…I understand,” Fanna took a light breath, Finally calming down her emotions completely, she returned to her usual stern look, lowering her head solemnly, “Then I will obey this arrangement.”

“Let’s go and have a rest first.” Helena nodded lightly, “There are still many things to do tomorrow.”

Fan Na bowed her head again and then turned and left the room.

Seeing the tall figure of the young judge disappearing outside the door, Helena took a long time to look away, then she suddenly smiled, and shook her head helplessly: “This child… didn’t even ask me what I planned to do. How did you send her to that ship, and pretended to be calm…”

A calm and majestic voice sounded from the side at this moment, interspersed with the crackling and crackling of flames: “I’m also curious, how do you plan to send her away?” Send it to the Lost Home.”

In front of the full-length mirror in the corner of the room, the flames on several candlesticks suddenly turned dark green, and the faint light of the fire illuminated the mirror, and the mirror was dark and deep, and in the middle of the rapidly spreading illusory flames , Duncan’s figure came out from the darkness, quietly watching Helena standing in the room.

Helena didn’t look back, even when she heard Duncan’s voice behind her, she still stared out of the window quietly: “Ah, you are really watching.” “No way, your

abacus is too loud, the beads are all gone It jumped on my face.”

“…What is the abacus?”

“This is a subspace joke.” Duncan said solemnly, after such a long time, he has already gotten used to this kind of occasional nonsense when talking to people Rhythm, observing other people’s confused reactions is his greatest joy in this process, and as for how the other side makes up his mind afterwards… anyway,

he usually makes up random things when he says anything to people in this world.

Helena wisely didn’t pursue the question any further, she still didn’t look back, and restrained all her emotional changes, her tone was always flat and gentle: “Although you shouldn’t need it, I’d still like to introduce myself ——Helena, a servant of the storm goddess Gomona, I am very happy to talk with you.”

“Duncan Abnomar, the captain of the Lost Country,” Duncan said casually, “I like frank communication, so Let’s be honest—what is your purpose, or rather, what does the Deep Sea Church want to do?”

“We are only focused on maintaining the order of the civilized world and responding to all disturbing changes in the world,” Helena replied flatly, “You should have heard what I said to Fanna just now, this world Some changes are taking place-in fact, the situation is far more serious than what I told her.

“Many shadows are approaching our reality dimension, and the anomaly of vision 001 may be just the beginning, and the end is the missionary’s destruction in Pland It is also possible that the action is just part of another larger conspiracy. In the north, there are disturbing news from some city-states. On the border, the ‘veil’ is becoming more and more unstable. are happening more and more frequently, and of all these changes, the Lost may be the only one that has any hope of communicating through sane means.

“We hope to establish a stable and effective communication with you. Just like you want to know the purpose of the Deep Sea Church, we… also want to know about the Lost Homeland. In this case, why not build a bridge?” Duncan frowned

: “So, you all confidently arranged for Fanna to be the bridge—the idea is very good, but how do you know that I will agree?” “You

paid close attention to her and helped her, and from your expressed intention Look, you are also very interested in today’s civilized world,” Helena said, “You have regained your reason and humanity, so you need to reconnect with the civilized world. In my opinion, Vanna is very suitable for this Character—or do you trust the ‘strange messenger’ randomly selected by the Church of the Deep Sea?” “…

Indeed, Fan Na is at least my ‘acquaintance’, and from your point of view, sending her here can ensure the maximum The safety of the courier,” Duncan said slowly, “but even so, are you really not worried that the act of sending Vanna to the Lost Country will turn into a sheep? Given that my ship and I have Good reputation, if your behavior is made public, it seems more reasonable to be regarded as a bloody sacrifice.”

Helena was silent for a few seconds, and finally turned around slowly, staring at the mirror where green flames were floating .

“So, this matter will not be made public. After all, except for the Puland people, most people in this world can’t talk about the Lost Country without changing their faces. Fanna will become a secret envoy. , the people who know about this matter will be limited to the top leaders of the Deep Sea Church and a small number of city-state rulers—or those who know the situation when the situation requires it.”

Helena raised her eyes and stared at Duncan’s figure in the mirror.

The shivering and distorted starlight filled her field of vision.

“As for the ‘sheep entering the tiger’s mouth’ you said… I’m not worried.” The

indescribable flowing starlight is constantly agitating on the surface of the mirror, as if trying to break free from the fragile glass, showing a sense of contraction and wriggling. The fine black Cracks spread from the edge of the mirror, filling the entire room, and deep and chaotic roars filled the mind, and every roar seemed to be mixed with infinite knowledge from the subspace.

“I can hear your voice, and your voice is full of calm reason. I believe that you have indeed regained your humanity. This humanity is the proof that you stand in the camp of civilization and order.” The mirror seemed to turn into

a The vortex, the starlight giant in the mirror has completely lost its shape, all Helena saw was endless starlight, and the fragmented light and shadow exploded in her mind, but the next second, there was another gentle wave in her mind, Reshaping her thinking that was on the verge of disintegration.

“You are friendly and reliable. My god sent down guidance, and I believe in my god unconditionally. He ordered me to cooperate with you, so I will do so.” The creeping starlight in the mirror

overflowed , a flowing light and shadow extended in the air, agitated, and slowly swayed in front of Helena, as if observing the prey, and as if sniffing the breath in the room, the light and shadow formed by the creeping starlight approached Helena Less than half a meter in front of him, there seemed to be countless eyes filled with tiny light spots.

Duncan carefully observed the expression on Helena’s face through the mirror, trying to analyze the true intentions of the deep sea pope from the details of his words and deeds. In the end, he found that the eyes of the other party were only calm and honest.

After a long time, he looked away.

“The agreement is reached, I will reserve a place for Fanna on the Lost Home, but correspondingly, being on the Lost Home means becoming my crew member, and she will abide by strict rules, and her priority will even be higher. As for her status in the church, I hope you can understand this.”

He tried to speak in a staid and dignified manner, making the matter seem business-like.

But in reality, I couldn’t be happier.

Since a long time ago, he has been thinking about Fanna’s fate with the Lost Homelander. At that time, he planned how to trick this high-ranking clergyman into being a thug on the ship, but there was no suitable opportunity or reason. I didn’t expect this opportunity to fall from the sky like this.

The Deep Sea Church needs a formal communication channel to understand the intentions of the Lost Home, which can alleviate their anxiety. The Lost Home also needs a bridge to communicate with the church forces in the civilized world, which will help Duncan’s future activities. It’s a happy event.

“I understand,” Helena nodded slowly, “Then, the agreement is reached.”
