Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 498
[Chapter 496 The Evil and Harmonious Atmosphere of the Lost Homeland]
On one side of the long table, Lawrence carefully observed the behavior of everyone on the scene, and at the same time carefully controlled every expression and every muscle of his own. He thought about what he should do How to fit naturally into this particular gathering without seeming like… an outsider.
Many stories of legendary investigators and legendary adventurers flooded into my mind, and then faded like sea water on the beach, leaving no reference except a few random thoughts.
After thinking wildly for a long time, he plucked up his courage a little, and asked in a low voice to Agatha who was closest to him, “When will Captain Duncan come?” “I don’t know either
. Sha lowered her voice, “Wait patiently.”
“Are there any rules later?” Lawrence asked again in a low voice, “It’s my first time attending a rally…” “It’s
my first time too,” Agatha folded her hands On her chest, she seemed to be praying silently, but she was also carefully observing the situation in the cabin like Lawrence—although she knew the faces beside the long table, this ship was indeed her first visit, “But I don’t think you need to be nervous, we have dealt with each other in the city-state before, and everyone is very friendly.”
Lawrence snorted, but still couldn’t sit still, and couldn’t help but look at Fanna who was sitting one seat away—— Judge Prand is more or less his “acquaintance”: “Your Excellency, this is my first time participating in a rally. If I behave rudely later, please help me…” As soon as his words fell
, Before Fan Na had time to say anything, Shirley on the opposite side of the table suddenly said, “What? You asked this person to help you take care of the disrespectful place? Let me tell you, old man, when she was rude, the movement was louder than yours. She jumped and chopped…”
“Ahem.” Vanna suddenly coughed loudly and interrupted Shirley’s chanting, and just as Lawrence was stunned by this, Nina across the table put down the book and looked around While muttering: “I’m hungry, when is the meal…”
Shirley shook her head: “It’s still early to leave the meal.”
Nina was taken aback: “Ah? Then why did we come to the dining room?”
“The captain said that he has something important to discuss, didn’t you hear?”
“No…I’m just busy reading, Uncle Duncan said I came here with my book when the restaurant was assembled,” Nina shook her head, “Who has anything to eat?” “
I have biscuits! And dried salted fish!” Alice immediately stood up and said happily While taking out snacks from the pocket of her skirt, “Who else wants to eat?”
Nina and Shirley rushed forward excitedly, while Agou was dragged sideways by the chain, and immediately grabbed the draft paper with his paws While yelling: “Hey Shirley, you got up to say something, my coordinate map is all crooked…”
Lawrence stared at this scene dumbfounded, and watched the atmosphere in this gloomy and solemn assembly hall become active instantly, he hesitated He turned his head and glanced at Morris, who was the only one who was still sitting upright, and the latter took down the pipe from his mouth, and nodded friendlyly at him: “Just get used to it, it’s like this every day on the boat——if you’re hungry, you can go with Alice. Say, she is in charge of everyone’s food.”
Lawrence felt his brain creaking half a circle, and said with difficulty: “Um, I… am not hungry.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at the food from the corner of his eye. There was a flash of green fire near the gate of the restaurant, and his spirit suddenly tensed up. However, just when he was about to speak to remind everyone, the gate opened, and it was not the owner of the Lost Home who walked in.
Tirian appeared at the door with a suitcase staggering on his feet, and looked at the scene in the restaurant with a hint of bewilderment.
Shirley climbed onto the table, Agou was hung in mid-air, Nina was hung on Alice, and Alice, the living doll with the face of the Frost Queen, was raising her hands high at the moment, one hand was full of A biscuit, a hand full of dried fish.
Frost’s gatekeeper and Prand’s judge sat across the table expressionlessly, quietly covering their foreheads with their hands.
The appearance of Tirian attracted everyone’s attention, even Shirley, who was stuffing dried fish into her mouth, stopped, and several eyes from the long table fell on Frost’s new consul at the same time—— Qi The swishing gaze even made the “Steel Lieutenant General” who was used to seeing strong winds and waves subconsciously take half a step back.
But after all, this is not the first time Tirian has seen the current atmosphere of the Lost Homelander. He quickly reacted, adjusted his expression, and greeted everyone on the scene in a friendly manner as he walked towards the long table—polite and demeanor In place, people can’t see that he has been rampant in this cold sea as a great pirate for the past half century.
“Sorry, it took me a while to sort things out, and I kept you waiting,” Tirian said, and came to the empty seat by the long table. He put the rather heavy suitcase on the table, and then looked up. Looking around, “Father hasn’t come yet?”
Almost as soon as Tirian finished speaking, Duncan’s voice suddenly appeared in front of the long table: “I’m here.”
The next second, a group of dark green flames It ignited out of thin air at the end of the long table, rose and exploded, and the flame fell towards the long table. Duncan’s figure then condensed and appeared from the flame, and sat on the chair that belonged to him in front of the long table.
In the next second, with a few faint sounds of “whoosh”, all the lights in the cabin were dyed with a layer of green light.
A low, disturbing creaking sound came up from the depths of the cabin.
Morris’ face suddenly changed slightly – he felt that the “atmosphere” of the ship itself was changing!
The captain is putting the Lost Home into some… defensive stance!
Immediately afterwards, he heard the captain’s voice resounding in the flames: “What I’m going to say today is extremely special and dangerous, so it requires the highest level of protection. The Lost Homeland will sneak into the spirit world from now on. During the assembly, some Members of firm faith, please pay attention to your mental state at any time, and when you hear some secrets pointing to the gods, if you hear or see any ‘revelation’, report to me as soon as possible.” Fanna, Morris and
Aga Sha looked at each other subconsciously, but after hesitating for a moment, they nodded slightly.
Duncan’s eyes fell on Tirian: “Did you bring the crystal ball?
” The complex structure of the lens device was presented to everyone, and then he began to operate the complex structures on the lens base to place all the lenses in the correct position.
The next moment, the crystal ball began to brighten up a little bit.
After waiting for a while, a hazy figure appeared in the twilight, and then the figure quickly became clear again.
Lucrezia’s figure appeared in the crystal ball—appeared for a moment, and then disappeared suddenly after a blur.
Nina, who was scratching her head and observing curiously, was suddenly confused, and turned to look at Tirian: “It’s broken?”
Tirian touched his chin in embarrassment: “…she fell off the chair.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of rustling and debris being pushed away from the crystal ball, finally Lucrezia reappeared in the center of the screen, this “Sea Witch” had a nervous look Looking at the scene on the side of the crystal ball, the next second he glared at Tirian: “Brother! What are you doing?!”
“I asked him to bring the crystal ball to the Lost Home, Lucy,” Before Tirian could speak, Duncan’s voice came from the side, “But I didn’t expect that he didn’t say hello to you in advance – don’t be afraid, just talking to your father, you won’t be cursed “
Lucrezia in the crystal ball had a strange look on her face, she was obviously not ready for this sudden meeting and conversation, so she seemed a little restless, but soon she realized the unusually serious atmosphere here, and the feeling in her heart A little uneasiness was immediately suppressed, replaced by an effort to regain composure: “Father, long time no see. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…” “Actually, it’s not very
long—don’t mind, I understand your reaction,” Duncan smiled , Then he raised his head and gestured to the other figures around the long table, “Let’s give a brief introduction first, Lucy, what you see is the new crew members of the Lost Home and the Lost Home fleet. The new captain of…”
He introduced the people around the long table one by one, and those whose names he called stood up to pay tribute. At the end, he pointed to the figure in the crystal ball: “This is my daughter, Lucrezia—you Many people should know her, so there is no need for more introduction, right?”
“The well-known ‘Frontier Adventurer’, the ‘Sea Witch’ who has made great achievements in the field of mysticism,” Morris nodded immediately, “It’s an honor See you, ma’am.”
Lucrezia nodded slightly reservedly: “I’ve heard of your name too—even in Qingfeng Harbor and Moco, the senior professors of the School of Truth are always discussing issues I often quote many of your achievements and viewpoints.”
After regaining her composure, the “Sea Witch” appeared dignified and steady, sitting in the crystal ball, exuding confidence and elegance in her gestures.
Not at all like someone who just fell out of a chair.
“Okay, that’s all for the introduction and greetings,” Duncan intervened in the topic in a timely manner, “Let’s talk about the business.”
His eyes swept over everyone present.
Everyone is there.
Even the goat’s head, which was left immobile in the captain’s cabin, was listening to what was going on here with his permission.
Duncan exhaled softly and broke the silence:
“In short, Agatha and I successfully conducted a deep dive below the Frost. During the dive, we witnessed many horrifying scenes, and learned the truth enough to overturn the cognition of many people.
“First, we confirmed the bottom structure of the city-there is some kind of extremely huge biological organization…”
