Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 491: Harmonious family

Views:

Tirian had to take great pains to explain to his sister the strange changes that had taken place in his "father" - and the bizarre things he had done in Plunder.

"... I can feel that he is no longer the chaotic shell of the Warp half a century ago. There seems to be some humanity and reason in him, but it feels strange to me... I'm not sure what's inside his body," Tirian said slowly with a frown, "He seems to recognize me, but apart from this "recognition", I'm not sure how much he is still the father we are familiar with. He... has changed a lot."

The black-haired woman on the other side of the water ball was silent for a few seconds, then said, "But it sounds like this is at least better than the situation half a century ago."

"... You could say that," Tirian said in a deep voice, "Half a century ago, I stood on the bow of the Sea Mist and looked at that figure. I wished it wasn't him. Now that I meet him again, I am just confused as to whether it is him... In any case, the Lost Homeland did not bring a huge disaster this time like in the past."

Lucrecia did not respond, but after thinking for a moment, she suddenly mentioned something: "Remember what I told you last time? Luni suddenly broke down and said, 'Old Master, looking for me... Now it seems that our father is really planning something."

"What will he plan?" Tirian frowned. "Continue his unfinished last expedition? Reassemble the Lost Fleet?"

"you do not know."

Lucrecia said calmly.

At the same time, a disturbing shadow suddenly appeared in the water ball, and then some of the automatically operating magic devices in front of Lucrecia seemed to have malfunctioned. Faint explosions were heard, and a group of automatic magic examples rushed up to check the equipment, looking very busy.

"What's going on here?" Tirian suddenly looked a little worried. "Do I need to deal with the equipment in front of me first?" That was the first time I met him, and in my cabin mind, except for a little bit of intimacy and nostalgia, I had no memory of getting along with him.

"Brother?" Lucrecia asked in confusion, "Did you hear that?"

Luo Pan was also looking at the man in the crystal ball through the mirror.

Luo Pan: “…right?”

"Ah! Duncan sent Perri!" the little parrot spread its wings, nodded forward and whispered, "Perri comes with a message, an important message! Duncan said... Duncan said..."

"Don't worry, the puppets will handle it. It's just a minor problem, nothing compared to the real storm on the border," Lucrecia said excitedly.

Lie said, without even turning back to look at the chaotic scene, "You haven't crossed this stable sea yet."

"Of course not. Several suppliers you know have the product. The Seven Small Churches don't have it, but the procedures are too difficult...

"Did you forget?"

Tirian: "… ."

"I'm trying my best," Tirian said seriously, "there should be a way other than robbery."

"First of all," the figure in the mirror began, "it wasn't a trap. I was surprised he was there.

"Brother, leave Plender immediately," Lucretia, who was on the other side of the water ball, reacted before Tirian finished speaking, and said in a slow tone.

"That could be a trap!"

"Especially if you hang it on the wall..."

"… No, it was supposed to convey other information, but the message was tampered with," Tirian reacted immediately. As Perli's owner, he was very familiar with the little parrot and Duncan's personality. His expression quickly became serious, "Perli, did something happen on the ship?"

The little pirate wiped his forehead and seemed to want to say something, but just as he was about to open his mouth, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from outside the window, interrupting his movements, followed by the sound of knocking on the glass.

"First thing, I'm done, so I came to see what they're up to."

"Lucy

, I'm..." Zhuo Rui'an broke the silence softly, "...across from you."

Tirian was stunned for a moment, then he reacted immediately, his face changed, and he suddenly looked up at the crystal ball behind him; "Lucy, I'm...

"Wait a minute, there's something going on over there," Tirian said quickly, looking up with a look of surprise on his face, "Perly?!

Lucrecia finally turned her head to the side, as if trying to find Tirian's location, and muttered loudly: "Help..."

"You are tracking something. It suddenly appeared far away from the border and rushed into the sea with huge energy, but the equipment on the ship didn't have time to capture its specific image." Lucrecia remained calm. "I am worried that it is outside the Eternal Curtain - I haven't thought about challenging this thick fog yet. Well, I will send you the image after I find this thing. If it is definitely a material that can be cut, cut a piece for me as a souvenir."

I quickly got up, opened the window, and let the colorful little parrot in. Perri fluttered its wings and landed on the table, making a loud sound: "Perri!"

But this little bit of intimacy and nostalgia still quickly permeated my heart - I had a similar feeling when I met Tirian, but now facing Lucrecia, that feeling seemed to have a hint of... guilt and regret.

"Uh..." Lucrecia's expression was unusually unsettled. The "sea god" who had always shown a calm and mysterious image finally encountered a situation that was even more incomprehensible than the unpredictable "border". She felt solemn and awkward as if she had returned to many years ago, to the afternoon when she first broke her father's navigation instrument. "You... Long time no see...

Tirian: "..."

You haven't been transferred yet.

Tirian waved his hand and said, "No, the souvenirs he sent are all evil. You still want to sleep well for a few more days."

Tirian wrinkled his fingers. "Bloodseeker Aiden?"

"He forgot?"

Tirian grabbed the box on the table expressionlessly and turned the water ball and lens assembly to the opposite side: "Say hello to your father."

The little parrot was a little confused. After a long while, it finally whispered to Tirian's surprised gaze: "Some fries! Some fries!"

Tirian listened to the parrot's words, and his face was visibly relaxed. However, Houmo heard the second half of the sentence from the other side of the crystal ball: "You can ask me about this some other day."

Through the magic crystal ball, I saw my father hanging on the wall

Luo Pan was stunned: "What on earth does he want to say?"

Lucrecia, who was on the other side of the crystal ball, also heard the noise from the other side. She asked suspiciously, "Brother, is Perri hungry?"

Tirian remained silent and solemn, and Lucrecia in the water ball was also stiff all over. But you couldn't see the picture in the other direction, you could only hear the sound, which made her even more uneasy, so she asked loudly: "Is he really here

The room then fell into a depressing silence. Luo Pan just stared at the pair of "children" in front of him. The silent pressure seemed to be transmitted to the distant border of Youba Sea through the crystal ball. Lucrecia tried desperately to find a topic in her mind to break the silence. After holding it in for a long time, she finally said, "You... that frame suits you quite well..."

Is it because I owe you more? Or is it because of the gift I failed to give

"It seems that he really forgot," Lucrecia, who was on the other side of the water ball, nodded without thinking, and her tone was full of excitement. "It doesn't matter. He is very busy, and that request is indeed difficult..."

"Point to the city-state!" The little parrot flapped its wings vigorously and shouted excitedly, "Bloodseeker Aiden, point to the city-state!"

Tirian sat down again, looking at the parrot in confusion. "How did it come here? Did it escape from the ship? Or did the Duncan send it?"

The sound in the water ball quieted down.

Luo Pan doesn't know, after all, these are not my own memories and feelings, but because of my current

It nodded to Lucrecia and said, "Long time no see, Lucy.

Tirian was startled, and his tone suddenly became a little unnatural: "Well... maybe we have to wait for a few days. He knows that this thing should not be touched.

As soon as Tirian made a move, Lucretia's voice became louder, and her tone was slow and urgent: "No, no, no, no, turn around, you are not...

"… …ah?"

"What exploration plans does he have? Did he rush directly into the fog this time? Remind him that the border is not a good place...

"You mean, the patterned frame you have now generally matches your temperament..." Lucrecia remedied with extraordinary calmness, "Yes, it's high-profile, and..."

Tirian did not respond to his sister's urgent reminder. I sat here like a statue, staring at the back.

square,

The little parrot tilted its head and looked at its owner, repeating the meaningless "a whole bunch of fries" several times, but suddenly, it stopped, as if it finally remembered something, and shouted excitedly: "Bloodseeker Aiden!

Tirian stared intently at the front, at the opposite side of the table. On the wall on this side, a decorative mirror with an organic round frame had a faint green flame floating on its surface. In the flickering flame, a majestic figure was standing in the mirror, staring at that side coldly.

Lucrecia didn't care and just continued, "Did he buy you the spirit world lens?"

Tirian sighed, pushed the suitcase containing the crystal ball aside, stood up and walked between the crystal ball and the frame: "What's the matter with you?"
