Deep Sea Embers

On the side of the long table, Lawrence carefully observed the demeanor of everyone at the scene, and at the same time carefully controlled every expression and every muscle of his own. He thought about how he should naturally integrate into this special gathering, so as not to Looks 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 and asked in a low voice to Agatha who was closest to him, "When will Captain Duncan come?"

"I don't know either. He said to wait for everyone to arrive," Agatha lowered her voice, "wait patiently."

"Will there be 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 people beside the long table. Face, this ship is indeed her first visit, "But I don't think you need to be nervous, we have dealt with each other in the city-state, and everyone is very friendly."

Lawrence groaned, but still couldn't sit still, and couldn't help but look at Fan Na who was sitting outside—this Judge Prand was more or less his "acquaintance": "Your Excellency, this is my This is my first time participating in a rally, if I behave rudely later, please help me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Fan Na had time to say anything, Shirley on the opposite side of the table suddenly said, "What? You asked this person to take care of the impolite place for you? Let me tell you, old man, when she gets impolite The movement is bigger than yours, I think she jumped and slashed back then..."

"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, looked around and muttered: "I'm hungry." Alright, when is dinner..."

Shirley shook her head: "It's still early to leave the meal."

Nina was taken aback: "Ah? Then why did we come to the restaurant?"

"The captain said that there is something important to discuss, didn't you hear?"

"I didn't hear that... I was just busy reading. When Uncle Duncan said he would meet at the restaurant, I brought the book." Nina shook her head. "Who has anything to eat?"

"I have biscuits! And dried salted fish!" Alice stood up immediately, saying happily while taking snacks out of her skirt pocket, "Who else wants to eat?"

Nina and Shirley rushed forward excitedly, while Agou was dragged sideways by the chain, and immediately pawed at the draft paper while yelling, "Hey Shirley, you got up and said something, my coordinates are all gone." The painting is crooked..."

Lawrence stared dumbfounded at this scene, seeing the atmosphere in the gloomy and solemn assembly hall instantly become lively. He hesitated and turned his head to glance at the only one on the scene, Morris, who was still sitting upright, and the latter took down the pipe from his mouth, He nodded friendly at him: "It's good to get used to it, it's like this every day on the ship—if you're hungry, tell Alice, she's in charge of everyone's meals."

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 saw a green light flashing near the door of the restaurant from the corner of his eye, and his spirit suddenly became tense. However, just when he was about to speak to remind everyone, the door opened. 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, "Isn't father here yet?"

Almost as soon as Tirian finished speaking, Duncan's voice suddenly appeared in front of the long table: "Here I am."

In the next second, a group of dark green flames 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 flames, and sat in front of the long table. on that chair.

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 all times, and when you hear some secrets pointing to the gods, if you hear or see any 'revelation', report to me as soon as possible."

Fan Na, Morris and Agatha looked at each other subconsciously, but after a moment of hesitation, they nodded slightly.

Duncan's eyes fell on Tirian: "Did you bring the crystal ball?"

"Brought it." Tirian said immediately, and then raised his hand to open the heavy suitcase he brought. The crystal ball containing extraordinary power and the lens device with complex structure appeared in front of everyone, and then he began to operate the lens. Those complicated structures on the base put all the lenses in the correct orientation.

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 stared at Tirian: "Brother! What are you doing?!"

"I asked him to bring the crystal ball to the Lost Country, Lucy," Duncan's voice came from the side before Tirian could speak, "but I didn't expect that he didn't say hello to you in advance— —Don’t be afraid, just say a few words to your father, and 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 strangely serious atmosphere here, and felt a little uneasy in her heart Immediately suppressed, replaced by trying 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 raised his head, gesturing to other figures around the long table, "Let's make a brief introduction first, Lucy, What you see is the new crew members of the Lost Home, and the new captain of the Lost Home fleet..."

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 famous 'Frontier Adventurer' and the 'Sea Witch' who has made great achievements in the field of mysticism," Morris nodded immediately, "It's an honor to meet you, ma'am."

Lucrezia nodded slightly reservedly: "I've also heard of your name—even in Qingfeng Harbor and Moco, the senior professors of the School of Truth always cite many of your achievements and ideas when discussing issues. View."

After regaining her composure, the "Sea Witch" appeared dignified and steady. She sat 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 gaze 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, breaking the silence:

"In short, Agatha and I successfully conducted a deep dive below the Frost. The specific depth of the dive was more than half a century ago. During the deep dive, we witnessed many horrors. People's situation, understand the truth enough to subvert many people's cognition.

"First, we confirmed the bottom structure of the city-state - there is some kind of extremely huge biological tissue..."
