Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 449

[Chapter 447]

Duncan, who was walking into the captain’s cabin, suddenly stopped and turned his head to look behind him.

There seemed to be some movement in the direction of the bow deck. According to the subtle perception from the Lost Home, the movement was caused by Shirley and Agou.

But there is no problem there.

“It’s so hard to do homework.” Duncan muttered, shook his head, and walked towards the chart.

The goat’s head, which was carefully steering the helm at the edge of the nautical table, suddenly made a creaking sound of wood rubbing. It turned its head to look at Duncan, and its two dark obsidian eyes seemed to brighten up: “Ah! The great Captain Duncan came to his loyal big Next to you—your harvest today…”

“There is no fish today,” Duncan glanced at the goat’s head, “As far as the movement before the frost, I’m afraid you won’t be able to catch fish here in the next period of time.” The

goat The string of flattery that had just brewed in the head was suppressed immediately, the wooden neck creaked and shook left and right, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: “Ah… then you have at least harvested a leisurely morning, today the sea breeze It’s comfortable, the sun is shining, and it’s a good day to roam the sea. If you’re interested, we can go near Cold Harbor…” “

Not interested, I don’t plan to let the Lost Country get close to any city-state for the time being.” Duncan interrupted The goat’s head, who was about to start chattering, casually landed on the sea chart in front of him.

The hazy mist slowly undulated on the chart, and amidst the mist, another clear route was marked, which was the route marked by the Lost Homeland heading north, and it symbolized the Lost Homeland’s route. Around the phantom of the ship, you can see the projection representing Frost, and the Sea Fog emitting a faint green fire.

The latter is docking at the edge of the Frost City-State at the moment.

“The Sea Mist looks quite quiet…” Duncan’s eyes fell on the projection of the Sea Mist, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up a little, as if thinking of something pleasant, “It seems to be going well.”

“Successful? Ah, Captain, I feel that you seem to have a great plan again?” The goat’s head immediately perked up, stretching its neck towards the direction of the chart and making noise, “What plan do you have? It is to subvert the weak Or take the opportunity to completely recapture the Haiwu that left the fleet? As expected, you are planning more than just…” Duncan silently glanced at the goat’s head: “You only have

these ideas of robbing houses and plotting to subvert them in your heart. Isn’t there some positive possibility?”

The goat’s head thought for a while, and then changed his words: “Are you going to help Frost reorganize the order to get through this difficulty? Or are you going to guide Tirian out of the current disgraceful situation?” Rebellious identity, let him return to the correct and great path?”

Duncan looked at this guy with a strange look: “How did you think of this?”

“Captain, maybe you didn’t pay attention, but I still have some observations You are capable, and after spending this time together, I am getting to know you more and more,” the goat head slowly turned its neck, and there was no emotion in those dark eyes, but its tone was obviously full of pride and joy. Relax, “You will not ignore the current Frost – unlike Prand, Frost suffered more serious damage in this disaster, if you really leave it alone, something big will happen, and you… …”

It stopped suddenly when it said this, as if it was looking for suitable words. After a while, it continued to speak unhurriedly: “And you are full of humanity.” Duncan didn’t speak for a while, just

calm He stared

intently at the goat’s head’s eyes that were so dark that they seemed to be able to swallow light. After a long time, he broke the silence softly: “The observation is very keen.” …It sounds like I’m about to silence…”

But Duncan laughed and shook his head slightly: “Look, you still don’t know me well enough——I don’t mind guys with keen observation skills, this can save me A lot of thought.”

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and didn’t care about the reaction of the goat’s head, so he got up and looked at the simple round mirror not far away.

The faint flame rose quietly in his eyes, and the mirror surface became deep and dark. In the calm and spreading light and shadow, Tirian’s hurried figure was gradually becoming clear.

“Good morning, Tirian, I hope I didn’t disturb your rest.” Duncan looked calmly at the “big pirate” who was obviously trotting all the way in the mirror, with a smile on his lips, “How did you rest last night?”

Tirian in the mirror was obviously a little nervous, and he took several breaths before calming down, with a stiff smile on his lips: “Father…Father, good morning, I was just looking for you—oh, I had a good rest last night , thank you for your concern.”

“You talk too far away from me, so don’t be so nervous,” Duncan adjusted his sitting posture and looked at the figure in the mirror with a half-smile, “Why, the previous posture scared you “

No…no!” Tirian sat up straight, like a student who was suddenly called out in class, “I just have a little more respect for you…” “It’s ok, I just want you to relax a

little— — No matter which posture you put on, it shouldn’t make you so nervous,” Duncan shook his head, “You said you were looking for me? What’s the matter?” Tirian hesitated for a moment, as if he was sorting out his thoughts and considering what to

do He spoke, and hesitated for a while before saying: “It’s about Frost, I don’t know how to explain it to you, but they seem to want to…” The big pirate was a little

stuck, as if he was not sure if something should be said Exit, but at this moment, Duncan’s voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the words behind him: “Let me guess, who will you be next—the general of Frost City? The high-level of the city hall? Or… They simply let you be the consul?”

Tirian, who was struggling with how to choose words and sentences, was taken aback for a moment, and raised his head in astonishment.

“How could you…”

“It’s very simple, because this is what I suggested—let the sea fog fleet enter the city,” Duncan said calmly, “Otherwise, do you think there are other factors that can make the city hall in chaos so quickly?” Do you want to take action and unify your views—you know their processes.”

The expression on Tirian’s face became exciting to the naked eye, and there was a kind of emotion brewing in his eyes, “I’ve been scratching my head and scratching my liver all night thinking about life and future results, and I was surprised to hear that my father is a fun person”, but he looked at the front of his eyes. I opened my mouth several times in the mirror, but in the end I still didn’t dare to say the disrespectful thought in my mind, and just looked at Duncan with a tangled and incomprehensible look: “Why did you do this…” “It’s very

simple , because Frost needs you, and you need Frost,” Duncan withdrew the fun-loving smile at the corner of his mouth, and turned to look at Tirian with a serious expression, “From the inside, the chaotic situation in that city needs a It is powerful enough to calm and appease. From the outside, the Frost Navy has suffered heavy losses, and the entire city-state urgently needs strong protection. So who else has both strong wrists and management experience, and a strong fleet? Duncan

adjusted his position slightly, leaned forward, and looked into Tirian’s eyes.

“It seems that you have accepted their invitation. Like I said, Frost needs you—and you need it.” There seemed to

be a hint of dodge in Tirian’s eyes: “Fifty years, I’ve been a pirate enough , A different way of life doesn’t seem to be bad.”

“Tell the truth.”

“…After all, you also personally protected that place, and I don’t want to see your hard work go to waste…” “

Tell the truth.”

“I appreciate the cold The tenacious spirit shown by the Frost people—they didn’t flinch in the face of disaster, and they never surrendered even when you didn’t help, I admit, I don’t want these people to suffer in the days to come.” Duncan did

n’t Speaking, just looked at Tirian quietly.

Tirian shrugged: “On the other hand, I don’t want to see the place that Her Majesty Le Nora once protected fall into a long and debilitating dark age.”

Duncan still didn’t speak.

“Okay…” Tirian finally sighed, looking helpless, “All of the above.”

“Very well, be an honest person, especially in front of me,” Duncan withdrew his gaze, and his posture relaxed again, “So, what is your current identity?” “They made me the consul,” Tirian said with a complicated

expression He twitched the corner of his mouth, “Even… came up with a lot of plans that I had prepared a long time ago.”

Duncan didn’t speak for a while, and seemed to be caught in a short thought. After a few seconds, he exhaled softly. The tone: “It’s a little more bold than I expected.”

Tirian hesitated, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes: “Do you have any advice for me?”

“Why do you ask for my advice?” Duncan laughed , “You have followed the Frost Queen and commanded the Sea Mist Fleet for fifty years. You have dealt with every city-state on the cold sea. I don’t think I can give you What’s your opinion?”

“I just want to hear your opinion.”

Duncan pondered for a while, and after a short thought, he said softly: “Then do it well and do your best——in this cold world, people There are very few things to rely on.”

“…I understand.”

“Well,” Duncan responded casually, then suddenly turned his head and glanced at the chart next to him, “Besides, there is one more thing. When Tirian

heard this, his expression quickly changed: “Please order.”

Duncan looked at the chart, and saw that the phantom of the White Oak was rapidly emerging on the position almost overlapping with the Seamist.

He turned his head and looked at Tirian with a smile on his face: “Stand up and hold me up later.”   Tirian

was stunned: “Huh?”

In an instant, Tirian’s indistinct exclamation came from the opposite side of the mirror——

“Hey, what’s the matter?!”
