Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 497

[Chapter 495 Follower Gathering]

Accompanied by a wave of waves and rippling sea water, the submersible rushed out of the water.

The afternoon sun was shining on the sea, and the heavy shell of the submersible was glowing coldly in the sun, and then the disposable smoking device on the top of the hull was activated, with the flash of fire, a slight explosion sounded, and an orange Yellow plumes of smoke rose straight into the blue sky.

After a period of attitude and power adjustments, the floating state of the submersible tended to be stable. With the sound of creaking, the locking device on the side of the hull was opened. With the rotation of the handle, Duncan opened the hatch of the submersible from the inside. .

The fresh air is blowing in – even for two “corpses” that don’t need to breathe, the fresh and cold wind above the sea is extraordinarily comfortable and pleasant.

The illusion of being constantly chased, entangled, and stranded by the indescribable things in the deep sea finally gradually faded from her mind. Agatha, holding on to the handrail, drilled out of the hatch with Duncan and climbed onto the top shell of the submersible , overlooking the endless sea in the distance.

Duncan turned his head slightly and looked at the gatekeeper: “How does it feel to be back in the sun?”

“It seems to be returning from the gate of the death realm again,” Agatha said softly, “I never thought , the sun and the air will bring me this shock of almost rebirth—but after I can neither feel the warmth of the sun nor enjoy the smooth breathing.” “What about ‘her’?” Duncan asked again

, “During the dive, the other Agatha never appeared, but she should have been watching, right?” “

We feel the same, but she said that she has some things to think about for a while, and she is silent now—do you want to Talk to her? I can ask her to come out…”

“No, let her think, this deep dive will be a reshaping and baptism of three views for everyone, we have many things to consider, Duncan waved his hand lightly, then raised his head and looked at the horizon in the distance, “Oh, the ‘recovery ship’ sent by Tirian found us, it seems that we don’t have to go to the city-state by ourselves.”

The silhouette of a steam clipper appeared on the sea surface, and it was heading towards the direction where the submersible signal smoke rose… The

submersible returned smoothly, and my father and the “gatekeeper” lady were safe and sound, and they were on the way back— ——When this “express mail” was sent to his desk through the pressure pipe, Tirian, who had been waiting for the news in Nangang, couldn’t help but heaved a sigh of relief.

But then, a strange feeling rose from the bottom of my heart.

He got up from behind the desk, walked slowly to the window, and looked at the sun that was gradually sinking outside the window, and in the silence, Lucrezia’s voice suddenly came from the crystal ball not far away. It came out: “Is there any news from my father?”

Tirian looked back at the glowing crystal ball on the desk, and said in a strange tone: “You can see… Is it obvious?”

In the crystal ball With a piece of bread in her mouth, one hand was quickly writing and calculating on the draft paper floating in mid-air beside her, while the other hand was still busy adjusting the experimental equipment on the table, looking up at the Glancing at his elder brother, he said vaguely and casually: “Three points of nervousness, three points of hesitation, three points of comfort, and one point of fear and bewilderment – it must be that father has returned.” “…you scholars are used to talking to people like this

. Talking? The me in your mouth is like a pie chart…” Tirian frowned, and then couldn’t help sighing, “I’m just feeling a little bit emotional. If it was not long ago, I would never have imagined that I would be so happy because of my father. I feel relieved to have returned safely——I didn’t feel like this the first time I knew he’d come back.” “

Yes, you almost had leg cramps back then, three days after commanding the Sea Mist to fight Dad Didn’t fall asleep, woke me up in the middle of the night to describe your nightmare, and made me tremble with you…” “

Stop! Don’t make up details that don’t exist!” Tirian hurriedly interrupted his sister on the other side of the crystal ball “And that’s not what I want to share with you!”

Lucrezia calmed down. She finally temporarily put down her seemingly endless research work and unfinished bread, and raised her head to look at it seriously. into Tirian’s eyes.

She finally broke the silence when the stare almost made Tirian’s skin crawl: “When I was young, my father often left home for a long, long time. At that time, whenever a bell rang in the direction of the dock, we would Climb to the roof of the house to see if it is the banner of the Lost Home, you always make me calm like a lady, and then take the opportunity to grab the highest place.” “…It has been many years,” Tyrian said

silently After a few seconds, he sighed softly as if talking to himself, “I still remember that the roof is blue, and when the sea breeze blows, the weathervane at the corner of the house will whistle, and you tied a windmill next to the weathervane , saying that he wanted to show it off to his father—so the fact that we sneaked up on the roof was exposed.” “

Now we have all gone to a higher place than the original roof, and we have seen the scenery that my father had seen, Lucrezia said softly, “But we still haven’t caught up with our father – he went to the deep sea, to a depth that even the diving plan of the year failed to reach… You said, he this time What will the expedition find?”

Tirian didn’t speak for a while, but in the next second, a crackling sound suddenly sounded from the mirror behind him, and then Duncan’s voice came from the mirror: ” I found a very amazing secret——I’m about to tell you.”

Tirian almost jumped out instantly, his muscles tensed up, and the reaction of the “Sea Witch” on the opposite side of the crystal ball was greater than him—he only heard Lu There was an exclamation and a rattling sound from Kelecia’s side, followed by a burst of smoke and flashes rising from the crystal ball, and the picture was interrupted.

Tirian turned his head tensely, and saw a dark green flame burning in the mirror behind him. In the dark mirror, Duncan poked his head and looked behind him: “…Is your sister okay? I’m scared?”

“Can you stop using such a scary method every time you appear…” Tirian mumbled subconsciously, but the moment he said the words, he felt that it was inappropriate, and he quickly checked Duncan’s reaction—the father’s face His expression didn’t change.

“I thought about using a more friendly way of appearing, such as knocking on the door in advance or sending a notice letter, but Fan Na told me that it wasn’t the way I appeared that was scary, but my appearance itself was scary,” Duncan said calmly. Looking at Tirian, “I think she’s right, so I don’t change it at all-at least it will be more interesting to watch other people’s surprised reactions.”

Tirian’s eyes flickered, and his father was “watching the fun” He was stunned by the calm attitude in the matter, but he quickly managed to straighten out his emotions. While recovering his expression, he looked curiously at his father in the mirror: “Have you returned to the city-state yet? I’m going to find you now… ” The avatar I used has returned,   but

you don’t have to go there,” Duncan interrupted Tirian. “Pack up your things and go directly to the Lost Homeland.

“

There is an important discovery in the deep sea.” Duncan’s expression was extremely serious. “The information should not be disclosed, and it may point to the ancient gods. Therefore, everyone needs to be summoned to discuss on the Lost Home. I have already sent Agatha there, my The followers have also gathered, you are the master of the Seamist and the new consul of Frost, you must also be there.”

Tirian instantly realized the special and serious situation of the situation from his father’s expression and tone, and immediately Restraining the slack in his heart: “Okay, I’ll leave a note for Aiden to explain the situation.” “

Yeah.” Duncan nodded, and then his eyes swept across the room again, and his eyes fell on the complex structure of the crystal ball lens device superior.

“Bring your crystal ball when you come to the boat,” he said to Tirian, “Lucy had better listen to the situation too—she will be interested in the secrets of the deep sea.”

Tirian, who was writing a note, listened. Immediately raised his head when he heard this, first glanced at Duncan unexpectedly, and then nodded instantly: “Okay, I will definitely take the crystal ball with me—where is the Lost Country now? I have a speedboat ready… …”

Before he finished speaking, Duncan in the mirror waved his hand: “No need, Ai will take you there.” The

knocking sound of “dong dong dong” came from outside the window.

Tirian turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and saw the fat white pigeon that always followed his father.

The pigeon was outside pecking at the window glass of the harbor office with its beak, and tilted its head at this moment: “Do you want to get in the car? It has a big seat! The old driver is driving it, be steady!” Tirian: “…?

“

…

Missed The Township’s dining room was the meeting place for the crew.

The wide and long dining table has been wiped shiny, and there are bright oil lamps hanging on the pillars near the dining table. The captain’s followers are gathered on both sides of the dining table—Vanna and Morris are sitting upright, Shirley and Alice are wandering in the sky. , Nina and Agou are studying hard with their books, and besides them, there are two new figures here today.

Agatha, who was dressed as a blind nun, sat quietly at the long table and prayed silently, and Lawrence, who was wearing a white coat and looked nervous while clutching a pipe.

The latter is looking nervously at the scene in the cabin.

Lawrence’s ship was parked on the nearby sea at this moment, and the first officer was helping to manage the affairs on board. He, the captain, was summoned to the “chief flagship” by an order, and no one told him what was going on when he came. , This made the old captain feel uneasy.

This is the first time he really set foot on the “Lost Home”, a legendary ghost ship returning from the subspace, Duncan Abu Normar’s followers gathered in this ancient and solemn cabin, Under the lights awaiting orders from Captain Duncan.

He already knew the identities and origins of these people—

animated puppets, shattered suns, spirited demons, judges exiled from the oath, legendary scholars on the edge of madness…

Now, he was among them.

Even in the wildest dreams and visions of the past, Lawrence never imagined that he would experience such a scene.

He was the captain of an expedition ship who was about to retire…why did he get in here in the end?
