Ai Yin fluttered into the store, stood on the stair railing with his chest puffed out with pride, his pair of green eyes rolling around.
The large parrot with colorful tail feathers that followed also flew into the store and landed on the counter next to Duncan. It pranced around on the counter with its head held high, as if it was at home without any restraint.
Duncan looked at this creature flying out of nowhere in astonishment. The big parrot also raised its head and looked at Duncan without any hesitation. After a while, it suddenly flapped its wings and made a loud and piercing sound: "Ah! Perri!"
"Your name is Perli?" Duncan asked curiously. He didn't expect the parrot to really answer anything. After all, the essence of a parrot's speech is just mimicry. However, he didn't expect the bird to actually nod and flap its wings after hearing his question. "Perli! It's Perli!"
Duncan's expression was blank for a moment, and he turned to look at Ai Yin who was standing on the handrail of the stairs and looking down at the first floor: "Where did you find this... 'Friend
"A friend has come from afar," Ai Yin immediately flapped his wings, one eye on Duncan, the other eye wandering out the window, "Since you're here!"
Nina next to him immediately asked curiously: "What does it mean?"
After knowing the secrets of the Lost Homeland and Duncan, Nina of course also learned that Ai Yin could speak. She was very surprised at the time, but now she has calmed down - but like everyone else, she finds it difficult to understand what the strange words that this pigeon occasionally says mean.
"Maybe it means it also knows where the parrot came from," Ai Yin used his imagination to translate for Hua Yi, then turned his head to look at the parrot.
Looking at the pigeon, he finally managed to hold back his anger, "Vanna... you applaud him for making friends, but doesn't he realize that they are of the same species? He should at least find a pigeon..."
"The sea embraces all rivers, and there is no room for small things," the pigeon spirit tilted its head and shouted with a blank look in its eyes, "There is no room for small things!"
"After a century, I can no longer be considered your father," Tirian shook his head quickly and said in a deep voice, "I am just a replica that was torn apart by the warp and pieced together with clumsy means. There is no humanity in this empty shell..."
I can't remember how many years it has been since I was in such a state of amazement - I could understand every word the old bishop said, but even in my wildest and most bizarre dreams, I had considered that those things would happen!
Nina wanted to stop the parrot but was too late. She could only watch with regret as the parrot flew farther and farther away. She turned around and muttered, "Ah, it flew away."
At that time, Shirley, Agou and Valentine's attention was also attracted. The three "people" gathered around the counter and looked at the little parrot that was not afraid of people at all. Valentine even poked the little parrot's wings curiously, but the former just jumped to the side twice to dodge, then tilted his head and stared at the puppet.
The little parrot tilted its head as if thinking, and opened its mouth after recalling something. But before it could say anything, it heard Vanna suddenly fly over and yell at the top of her voice: "Give me some fries!"
Then, Perri the parrot seemed to have figured out some useless information from the little memory left. It suddenly jumped up and flapped its wings vigorously: "Tell the captain, tell the captain! Tell... some French fries!"
Is there really no humanity outside the hull of the Lost Homeland? Is the voice that spoke to me at that time, and the breath I felt from this figure, really just a hollow and chaotic echo of the subspace
"Where did he come from? Why did he come here?" I suddenly asked.
Alice exchanged glances with Huayi next to her, and both of them had a bit of helplessness and hesitation in their expressions.
"Vanna, catch up with this parrot."
Ai Yin did not respond - before I heard Perri yell "Tell the Captain", my face suddenly became serious, and I recalled why I felt vaguely unfamiliar with the parrot.
The little pirate suddenly hesitated.
“That’s roughly the situation.
"What is that?" Valentine asked.
He looked at Ai Yin curiously, "She looks exactly like Vanna."
The feeling of being right in every way and yet being able to communicate magically is really special and subtle.
"Yes, I can," Shirley shook her head and then asked the puppet, "Why do you always care about that problem when you are eating?"
"Give me some fries!" The pigeon landed in front of the little parrot and nodded seriously, "Give me some fries."
"You are very busy,"
"What is a parrot?" Valentine asked, "Can it be eaten?"
"The Lost Homeland finally took away the fragments of the sun, stopped the advent of the creeping sun disc, and eliminated the impact of historical pollution on the city-state - although you are still sure... ...his father's voice."
"It was an accident at first... Now that I think about it, it couldn't have been a deliberate arrangement by his father," Duncan sorted out his thoughts and recalled as he spoke, "You touched the 'flame' I left behind and established a connection with me. As for why I chose you... Unfortunately, someone knows..."
In a secluded reception room somewhere in Plande Chapel, the old priest and priest Alice, who was dressed in casual clothes, spoke to Tirian who was sitting on the sofa behind the coffee table.
"Did the Lost Homeland really just leave like that? It looked like it came here to save the day?" The famous "Pirate Captain" said in a tone full of wonder, "It took the fragments of the sun... but what about before that? Was that all? Did it do anything else?"
"Send a message?" Ai Yin was stunned for a moment, and his expression became slightly serious. "What message?"
I had indeed seen that bird—in a cabin of the Sea Mist when the Homeless and the Sea Mist overlapped!
The two birds were talking so much that Ai Yin had to interrupt: "Stop - Vanna, shut up, Perri, what message do you want to send, and to whom?"
"Purley?" "Some fries!"
The little parrot was obviously stunned. After a few seconds, he hesitated and shook his body back and forth: "Order some fries."
During the conversation just now, I vaguely realized that the parrot actually had a certain ability to communicate with humans - which obviously proved that its origin was special.
Tirian's expression was somewhat subtle, yet not stiff.
Tirian suddenly stopped talking here. For some reason, I suddenly remembered the few seconds when the Homeless and the Sea Mist overlapped, and thought of the cold and distant words I heard -
I suddenly realized that whatever message the parrot had been trying to convey, it had obviously forgotten it now...
"You are responsible for cooking for the ship... Mr. Ai Yin!"
Matters related to the Lost Homeland were classified information, and the conversation with Captain Ayin was even more so. Some things should have been said, but Tirian's identity was so ordinary that those issues were obviously no longer a problem.
There was a lot of chatter beside the counter, but Ai Yin didn't join in. He just looked thoughtfully at the little parrot that called itself "Perly". For some reason, he always felt that the bird looked vaguely familiar, as if... he had seen it somewhere not long ago.
Shirley at the side immediately said: "Of course they are the same, that is a parrot, and Vanna is a pigeon."
Huayi: “…”
Then, the little parrot yelled "on time" and flapped its wings and flew towards the door. Before everyone could react, it rushed out of the small door, into the sky, and accelerated all the way towards the city of Plande city-state.
Just as Tirian was distracted, the young Inquisitor's voice suddenly came from the other side, interrupting his wandering thoughts: "The question of whether Captain Ain has 'humanity' is exactly what you are going to discuss next."
The little parrot turned around and tilted its head: "Perly! Go and deliver the message!"
The person who theoretically knows Aiyin Abnomar best. "… Is there anything else?" After hesitating for three seconds, the old bishop still couldn't say that thing. I shook my head and sighed, "You know he is confused - Mr. Tirian, you are as confused as he is. I am sure he knows what his father wants to do, and you know it even more."
“In fact
.…” Duncan firmed up his mind, turned his head and exchanged glances with Bishop Alice, then nodded heavily, “You recently had a communication with his father.
Ai Yin: “….”
At this point, it is really difficult to say to Tirian that "his father robbed half of the city's fries."
"Communication? With us and your father?!" Tirian was really surprised and almost stood up from the sofa, "Isn't that a good joke
I often think about life while talking to Vanna and tell myself that I believe I am not communicating on the same channel as that pigeon.
Duncan concealed the details about how he was "marked" and "contaminated" and that "the pollution could not be removed", and instead clearly summarized the process as "establishing a connection". He then told the "pirate captain" in front of him the details of his several exchanges with Captain Aiyin.
The little parrot was startled: "Ah! Perri!"
"Please calm down, this is a serious matter - no one would joke about such a thing before the city-state is almost destroyed," Duncan said fiercely.
Jotirian paused for a moment, and then said, "In short, you have had several exchanges with his father, and based on your observations... Captain Aiyin still does not seem to fit the description in the data."
"Hmm?" Tirian looked at Duncan in confusion. "What does that mean?"
Tirian noticed the other party's serious attitude. He quickly walked up and his expression became extremely serious: "Miss Inquisitor, how did you establish communication? Why did he find you? And... what did he say?"
