Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 289

[Chapter 289 Touching the Frost]

There are some winds and waves on the sea.

The cold night wind blew across the sea, and the undulating waves slapped the solid hull of the Lost Homeland one after another. However, this huge ship still maintained a stable posture, as if ignoring the wind and waves and continuing to fly at full speed. Sailing north.

The translucent sail of the spirit body is raised high under the night, and there are occasional creaking and tense sounds between the cables and the mast. This living ghost ship sighs happily in the wind and waves, but the new members on the ship seem a little nervous at the moment. Preoccupied.

From Duncan, Vanna learned the truth about the Frost Rebellion half a century ago, learned about the extremely weird submerged plan, and today, half a century later, that terrible plan is still going on. The slightest shadow.

Compared with the destructive fire that Prand had encountered, the abyss plan that happened in Frost is a terrifying disaster on another level——dark, cold, invisible and terrifying things in the abyss The disaster may be about to happen, may have happened, or even ended, but in the cold night, no sound can describe the outline of the invisible horror.

The Black Sun incident in Purand was a fierce and dazzling war, but what happened under the frosty abyss was a silent and twisted nightmare.

“According to Tirian, the Abyss Project has ended, and all subsequent influences of that year have also ended with the death of the Frost Queen, but in fact we have no evidence to prove that a certain extraordinary vision under the Frost is real. has stopped functioning – we don’t even know what it is, and the whole thing has been shrouded in a complete fog from beginning to end. And now Morris has received a letter from Frost, that The letter is a signal to remind us that something is wrong in that northern city-state.”

Duncan’s deep voice sounded in the night wind, and then he paused for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Fanna: “Helena and you Did you mention the ‘change’ in the northern waters?”

“Your Majesty?” Fan Na was stunned for a moment, shaking her head lightly, “She never said that, she only said that she would let me board the Lost Homelander, but she didn’t tell me at all. What exactly should I do.”

“Didn’t she say…” Duncan muttered softly, but he didn’t stop at this topic, “Then don’t think about it so much, just get used to the life on the ship, don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you It’s a mission.”

He raised his head and glanced at the deep night and the mist on the boundless sea in the distance.

“It’s very late at night, it’s best not to blow too much cold wind on the deck – the sea breeze at night is not very friendly to the body and mind.”

Fan Na looked at Duncan in surprise – she often showed this all day Surprised eyes——then she nodded belatedly: “Ah, yes, thank you.”

While speaking, she groped around and found a small piece of wood from her shirt pocket— It was a sea wave amulet carved from sea breath wood. She put the amulet in her mouth, prayed softly, and then threw it into the sea outside the ship’s side.

Duncan looked at Fanna’s actions curiously: “What is this doing?”

“That is a sea wave amulet carved out of sea-breathing wood by myself. The disciples of the Goddess of Storms pray in this way when they go to sea,” Fanna said casually. He

explained , “Sea breath wood is considered to be the favored object of the goddess of storms. Throwing its talisman into the sea symbolizes the ancient act of sacrifice. It is easier to establish a connection with the goddess when praying while throwing the talisman.” Then she stopped suddenly, and then hesitated: “Do you mind these behaviors?”

“Ah, of course I don’t mind. As I said, the atmosphere on the Lost Home is more relaxed than you imagined,” Duncan immediately smiled. Shaking his head, “Morris usually prays to the God of Wisdom.”

After speaking, he waved to Fan Na, turned around and walked slowly towards the direction of the captain’s cabin: “I’m going back first, you should rest earlier

The sound of the undulating waves sounded, and Fan Na watched the tall figure drifting away. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and shouted behind Duncan: “Captain!” Duncan stopped, without turning back: “

Still What’s the matter?”

Fanna opened her mouth, hesitated for two or three seconds before finally speaking: “I apologize to you—because I was reckless…” “I don’t care.”

Duncan said casually, then waved his hands without looking back walked away.

Fan Na was still standing on the deck, seemingly distracted.

And behind her, in the turbulent sea, the wave amulet carved from sea breath wood has been stirred up and down by the waves for a long time, until it was suddenly caught by a cluster of waves, and was swept into the depths of the sea in an instant. place.

…

In the captain’s room, the goat’s head raised its head creakingly, and looked at Duncan who was entering the room: “Ah, captain, you have finished appeasing the new crew members? Today is really an incredible day. The high-ranking priests of yours have become your crew members, which can also be regarded as some kind of spoils, I think…”

Duncan raised his eyelids and glanced at the goat’s head: “Next time you say that in front of Fanna.”

” …I can’t beat it.”

“Then don’t talk nonsense,” Duncan said casually, and glanced down as he passed the chart, “Where are we now? What’s the situation of the Sea Mist?” “The Sea

Mist It is still sailing at full speed, but it has fine-tuned its course twice not long ago. Judging from its position, it may be close to the secret home port of the Sea Fog Fleet,” Goat Head replied immediately, “We should be able to enter the Cold Sea before dawn. , and then sail north for another four to five days to reach Frost… Shall we drive there directly, or take a covert action in the nearby waters?” “Don’t expose it for now,”

Duncan said, “I don’t plan to talk to Frost city-state yet. The guards are in ‘warm contact’.”

“Yes, Captain.”

Duncan thought for a while, and said, “Also, after the Sea Mist stops, lean over and have a look – to investigate the secret of Tirian without revealing it. The location of the port and the surrounding environment should not be difficult for the Lost Homelander, which can lurk in the spirit world for a long time.”

“Ah, of course, it’s easy,” the goat’s head immediately agreed, “but… what are you trying to do by investigating that secret port?

” , I think Tirian should take some action, staring at him is equivalent to staring at Frost. If the conditions are right there, we will lurk near the Sea Mist.” Goat’s head immediately took orders: “

Understood .”

Duncan nodded and walked towards his bedroom.

“I’m going to try to ‘explore’ the situation in Frost’s direction. If it’s not necessary, don’t bother me.” “

Yes, Captain!”

The bedroom door closed behind him.

Duncan exhaled lightly, came to the table and sat down, moving his slightly stiff shoulders and neck.

Ai Yi, who was resting by the window with his eyes closed, woke up with a start, flapping his wings and jumping onto the table, tilting his head and looking at his master: “Shooting, or staying in a hotel?”

Duncan cast a glance at the pigeon: “Walking in the spirit world.”

After the words fell, the brass compass hanging on Aiyi’s chest opened with a “snap”, and green flames rose from the compass. In an instant, the scene in Duncan’s vision had changed!

He once again came to the space filled with countless stars and lines, and boundless chaotic darkness.

Ai Yi’s figure emerged from the darkness, and the skeleton bird wrapped in the fire of the spirit body circled and danced around him.

But he didn’t immediately move his position or touch a cluster of nearby starlight, but first calmed down, carefully observed the lights that flickered in his field of vision, and sensed the aura faintly revealed in those lights.

Sure enough… As the Lost Homeland moved away from Prand and approached Frost, the starlight he saw in this space also changed accordingly!

Duncan raised his head, perceiving his body in Prand. He looked into the depths of the darkness according to his perception, and what he saw was a hazy spot of light located extremely far away.

He looked back from afar again, looking at the bright “stars” twinkling in front of him.

After thinking for a while, he approached some of the light spots and touched a few of them cautiously.

He did not directly occupy the body represented by these light spots, but read the superficial information behind the light spots in this way-emotions, perceptions, and even fragmented superficial consciousness.

Cold, tension, fuel prices, steam supply, city hall, frost…

After touching a few light spots, Duncan withdrew his will.

Continuing to touch these dots of light representing “living people” may cause panic on a large scale, and then it may attract the attention of the city-state defenders. He doesn’t want to deal with strange churches yet.

The current information is enough—only from the information read from those light spots, it can be confirmed that this piece of starlight is the residents of Frost.

At least part of it.

Duncan’s eyes swept across the dazzling starlight, looking for individuals with dim and weak light and life lost.

He needs a predestined body to serve as an outpost for spying on intelligence.

A moment later, a cluster of unusually flickering lights suddenly caught his attention.

“It’s you!”
