Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 447
[Chapter 445 Fishing, Dogs, and Pigeons]
In the twilight of the morning, the vision 001 locked by the double rune circle is rising from the distant sea level little by little, and in the gradually diffused rays of light, the huge sail ghost ship is floating in the sky The endless calm sea is gradually covered with a layer of brilliance in the early morning.
At the far end of the sea, in the depths of the twilight morning mist, one can vaguely see the silhouette of the frosty city-state—the trauma of the city-state and the joys and sorrows of countless people have all turned into hazy mist at this distance, as if dissolved in the sun.
Duncan sat quietly on the edge of the bow deck, set up a fishing rod beside him, watched the fishing line reflect the sun in the morning glow, and occasionally raised his head to look at the direction of the Frost City-State in the distance.
At this time, most places in the city are still very quiet. He doesn’t need to pay too much attention to the avatars in the city-state, and he can enjoy the comfort on the boat rarely.
Pigeon Ay walked back and forth on the big wooden barrel beside him. On the lid of the wooden barrel was a pile of French fries, which had been brought on board from the Frost City–different from the French fries in Prand, cold The Frostman would add some special spices to the French fries to give them a salty aroma, and Ai was obviously very satisfied with this. He occasionally looked up at his master who was fishing, or at the distant sea, and left The rest of the time is spent bowing their heads and eating food.
On the other side of Duncan, on another short wooden barrel, Shirley was lying there writing and writing, with a sad expression as if she was facing the enemy of life and death.
A Gou lay quietly beside Shirley, holding a copy of “Modern Geometry” in its paws, and the deck beside it was full of draft papers with marks and figures drawn on it.
Feeling the tranquility of this moment, Duncan couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth, and the gloom accumulated in his heart for many days gradually dissipated.
But obviously not everyone at the scene is enjoying this “tranquility”.
“Why can Nina sleep in the cabin…I have to get up early in the morning to catch up with my homework here…” Shirley couldn’t help muttering, with a distressed expression, she was able to squeeze out water, “I knew I would come back I can only do my homework on the boat, so I might as well stay in the city, at least I can go shopping occasionally…” “
Frost has nothing to do shopping now, and in the foreseeable next period of time, life in that city will be very difficult. It’s not very comfortable,” Duncan said lightly when he heard the words, “Also, don’t complain about homework, who let your homework be eaten by wild dogs, you said it yourself.” Shirley raised her head aggrievedly:
“ Then why doesn’t Nina need to make up?”
“Everyone knows that she must have finished writing, and Morris will give her a comprehensive set of papers later to test her self-study during this period,” Duncan glanced at Shirley, “Ni Na is different from you, she doesn’t need to be urged.”
Shirley shrank her neck: “Then… is there a possibility, I have actually written…”
Duncan said blankly: “The ‘pebble How do you spell plural forms?”
“I haven’t memorized this yet…”
“This is the content on the second page of your previous homework, and you haven’t finished both pages.”
Shirley’s expression was blank, and she fell silent immediately. Then the girl let out a long sigh, dropped her head and resumed her desperate struggle with her spelling.
Duncan shook his head with a smile, and then his eyes fell on the dog beside him involuntarily—the latter was temporarily putting the book aside at this time, holding a pencil between his paws and scratching on the draft paper on the deck Auxiliary line.
Duncan’s gaze made Agou’s soul tremble suddenly, and the dog’s head trembled subconsciously, and the auxiliary line was crooked.
“Boat…captain?” Ah Gou raised his head nervously, trying to avoid Duncan’s sight but not really turning his head away. The dog’s head kept shaking.
Duncan stretched out his hand and touched Agou’s ugly skeletal head, his expression was a little subtle, and it took several seconds before he couldn’t help but say: “Is your learning progress a little too fast? Why do I think you can do it after a while?” Are you following up with Morris’s lectures?”
“Ah? I don’t feel it,” Agou was taken aback when he heard the words, the red light in his empty eye sockets flickered on and off, as if he was in a daze, “I just feel that these things are quite interesting… the learning progress is fast Is there any problem?”
Duncan thought for a while, smiled and shook his head: “Forget it, there is no problem, it is always good to learn more things, so that you and Shirley are not illiterate after all.” Agou was
confused “Oh”, Duncan exhaled slightly, and looked back at the fishing rod that was still motionless.
Not a single fish was caught this morning.
“After a big battle, I’m afraid the surrounding waters won’t be able to catch fish in a short time.” He sighed regretfully, and slowly packed up his fishing things. Is there a place…”
Shirley couldn’t help raising her head after hearing this: “Then are we leaving here? When will you bring Mr. Morris and Sister Fanna over from the city?”
Duncan He stopped packing the fishing rod, turned his head and glanced at Xue Li: “Did I say that the matter of Frost is completely over?” “
Ah?” Xue Li was a little dazed, “Isn’t it all done? And you still I recommended Mr. Tirian to the city hall, and I thought you were going to leave all the rest to him.” “
Indeed, I intend to leave all the troublesome things in this city to him—— But there are still things that the Sea Fog Fleet can’t solve.” Duncan continued to tidy up, and said casually, “Those things, I have to deal with them myself. Before I solve them, it’s best for the Lost Home to stay away from here.” Shirley still didn’t
react : “Something that the Sea Mist Fleet can’t solve? That’s…”
Duncan lowered his eyelids and glanced at her lightly: “Where did the mirror image frost come from?”
Xueli thought for a while, and said uncertainly: ” Was it…that group of cultists summoned from the deep sea?”
“Basically, it was summoned from the deep sea—Mirror Frost is a ‘product’, a transformed thing, and everything we eliminated in this process, including the sacrificial field in the depths of Mirror Frost, is essentially In fact, they can only be regarded as “summoning objects”. Since there are summoning objects, there must be a source of summoning.”
Shirley finally realized, and her eyes gradually showed consternation.
“You mean… the things on the bottom of the sea are still there?!”
“If my judgment is correct, everything close to the sea, whether it is those fakes or the mirrored city-state itself, is essentially just the spread and projection of power, just like a continuous A huge plant that grows from the bottom up, in the fierce battle just after the frost, we just wiped out the overgrown canopy of the out-of-control plant, but its roots are still there,” Duncan said calmly, “Don’t forget Oh, the Frost Queen threw several deep submersibles into the sea before she could barely touch the body of that thing—that kind of power, there is an ‘entity’ in the deep sea.” Shirley finally couldn’t sit
still , she almost jumped up: “Ah? Then don’t you have to dive into the deep sea to fight with that thing? Otherwise, will it make a mirror image again soon?!” “Soon? Well
then No way,” Duncan shook his head with a smile, “The matter is not as serious as you imagined. Even if the main body is still there, it must have been severely injured now. I have almost completely burned its spreading parts, and the rest… After losing the ceremonial support of those cultists, most of them are in a state of dormancy or dormancy, even if they really leave it alone, it may take another half a century before there will be any problems.” Speaking of this, he
suddenly He stopped, and stretched out his hand towards the air beside him.
“Are you right, Agatha?”
A cluster of dark green flames ignited at Duncan’s fingertips, and quickly jumped and expanded in the air, forming a vortex-like curtain. In the middle, a blind priestess in a black dress and a blindfold is standing there in a prayer-like posture, with her hands clasped in front of her chest.
Shirley and Agou watched this scene dumbfounded.
“Yes, this is exactly what we are worried about,” Agatha raised her head, her slightly magnetic voice sounded ethereal, “Everyone who knows the truth about the Abyss Project will be so worried—we just We wiped out the ‘products’ that appeared on the surface of the sea, but there was no way to destroy the ‘body’ that might still be dormant in the deep sea.” “It is impossible for
us to keep it for another fifty years, and then repeat it again when the next crisis occurs Frost defense battle,” Duncan said, “I don’t mind helping every time, but there will always be many unnecessary victims in the flames of war.
” The deep submersible is gone,” Agatha said after a moment of silence, “not only the problem of the deep submersible itself, but also other equipment, data, personnel, and material resources needed for diving…all of these are not a waste of time. Xing Frost can be obtained.”
“Then make preparations as soon as possible, and let your city hall figure out a way,” Duncan said lightly, “If it really doesn’t work, prepare an iron coffin that can be exploded in the deep sea , put a corpse in it, and I can go to the bottom of the sea to see the situation through this medium—although the strength that the temporary avatar can carry is limited, as long as a stable channel is established, I should be able to spread the flame to the bottom of the sea.” (Push
