Alice accepted the fact that her box had been transformed into parts of the Lost Home very calmly, and then quickly put the matter about the Frost Queen Le Nora behind - a level of openness that Duncan could not match.
According to Miss Doll herself, the reason why she is so calm is because all this is considered "external matter" to her.
"Anyway, I live on this ship now and I don't plan to leave in the future. It's no big deal that the box becomes part of the Lost Home. The matter with the Frost Queen is even simpler - I don't even know her," Alice
He sat on the lid of his wooden box again, with a cheerful smile on his face, "I don't know if I am her, or what kind of person she used to be. Anyway, this was half a century ago...
What’s historical, let’s leave it to history.”
"Just be open-minded." Duncan just looked at Alice's lavender eyes quietly for a long time, and nodded gently.
In the end, he still did not mention the "details" in the echo to the other party, nor did he mention what the Frost Queen Leigh Nora suddenly said to him before she was executed.
After all, even if it is mentioned, this doll definitely doesn't know anything... It's good that she is so carefree now.
"That's it. Now we have a preliminary understanding and control of your 'coffin', but as to whether the decapitation effect of 'Anomaly 099' has also been controlled, we will have to do some tests if we have the opportunity later," Duncan said lightly.
He breathed softly, "I'm leaving first."
"Hey, Captain, please walk slowly~~"
After leaving Alice's room, Duncan returned to the deck. He slowly walked to the captain's cabin with his heart full of thoughts, sorting out the problems he encountered as he walked.
He originally wanted to find out whether the "decapitation" power of Anomaly 099 was controllable, but in the end he failed to solve the problem, but accidentally touched an old incident half a century ago... the Frost Queen who was executed by the rebels.
, accusations of colluding with the Homeless Ship, and a mysterious "Hidden Abyss" plan, these things were swirling in his mind and could not be dissipated for a long time.
Besides these, there was something else that concerned him a lot.
Duncan reached out and took out something from his arms.
It was a small hairpin, shaped like a silver feather surrounded by waves.
It's not like something a rugged male sailor would have in any case.
When I look at it, I feel a distant and vague feeling of nostalgia. This hairpin... seems to have a special meaning to the once real "Captain Duncan".
Duncan was full of questions, but he knew that he couldn't ask the goat head directly about this matter.
He put away the hairpin and returned to the captain's cabin with a heavy heart. Goat Head was still here diligently controlling the ship. What surprised Duncan was that the pigeon Ai who was supposed to stay in the dormitory on standby was actually with him.
.
The bird was standing proudly on the horns of the goat's head, arrogantly rubbing its beak with the forehead of the goat's head.
Duncan opened the door and entered the house and saw this scene. He immediately asked curiously: "When did your relationship become so good?"
The pigeon flapped its wings and said nothing coldly, while the goat turned its head squeakingly, and looked directly at Duncan with its obsidian eyes: "Great captain... next time you take Ai with you."
Can you bring back some French fries while walking in Yi Lingjie?"
Duncan was taken aback: "...why did you start to order some French fries?"
The voice of the goat head was almost trembling: "Please, order some French fries... Just think of it to shut up your pigeons..."
Duncan stared at the combination of the bird and the sheep in stunned silence. After a while, he vaguely guessed what happened, and he suddenly felt happy: "Have you finally met your natural enemy?"
"I changed seventy-six topics! Seventy-six! I have exhausted all my life's learning, spanning thousands of years of history, from poetry to frying, from worshiping gods to sow breeding! But all the responses I got were
'Full order of French fries'!" The voice of the goat head sounded a little broken, "How do you usually deal with this pigeon?"
"Simple, just talk to it less. If you don't talk to it, it will calm down quickly." Duncan spread his hands, "I guess you can't do it."
The goat head thought for a while and sighed: "... Then you might as well order some French fries later."
Duncan was noncommittal and just waved to Ai, and the pigeon immediately flew over and landed on his shoulder. Then he sat down on his chair, turned to the goat head and said casually: "Half of Frost City-State"
The ruler from a century ago, the Frost Queen Leigh Nora—do you know anything about it?"
"Frost Queen? The one who was executed by the rebels half a century ago?" Goat Head was stunned for a moment, "I have heard of it. It seems that we fought with them near there a few decades ago.
Yes...but we don’t have much to talk to other than that. Why did you suddenly mention this?"
Duncan looked calmly into the eyes of the goat head, and he knew that the "first mate" was not lying.
Goat Head really doesn't know anything about the Frost Queen, and the Lost Home has no contact with that Frost City-state.
Not only was there no contact, the Homeless Ship even had a conflict with the guards of that city-state back then - just like it had conflicts with other city-states and ships on other routes.
Since in Goat Head's memory, the Homeless Ship has never been an ally of the Frost City-State, it means that the charges the rebels laid on the Frost Queen half a century ago are completely fictitious.
Of course, it may be too early to draw this conclusion now. After all, it is an old incident half a century ago. There may be many twists and turns in the buried history. He only has one-sided words from the goat head. This person
The first mate may be telling the truth, but what he knows may not be the whole truth - it just doesn't matter.
Duncan has no intention of overturning the case for the Frost Queen half a century ago. He just wants to know things related to the Lost Home and Alice.
"Did you know? Alice's appearance is exactly the same as that of the Frost Queen half a century ago - the so-called Anomaly 099 was most likely born after the executed Frost Queen was cursed by the Infinite Sea," he teased with his fingers.
The dove on the shoulder said casually, "The main 'crime' for which the Frost Queen was executed by the rebels back then was for colluding with the Homeless Ship."
The goat head was stunned for a moment.
Duncan was rarely stunned when he saw this guy.
"Collude with the Lost Home?! Do the stupid humans in those city-states even have to make up such a ridiculous reason for betraying their own monarchs?" After several seconds, the goat head finally laughed loudly. He obviously felt that this was happening.
It's extremely ridiculous, "Don't blame me for laughing too loudly. Those humans are really too stupid and weak. They might even blame it on the curse of the Homeless Ship if they even stumble out of the house! This 'crime' is really too outrageous."
Got it!"
After saying this, he paused and then continued: "But you said that Miss Alice looks very much like the Frost Queen? This is really... incredible, if Miss Alice is really transformed from the Frost Queen
...Then this matter is full of irony."
"Yeah, it's really ironic if they really have this kind of connection." Duncan leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair in a comfortable position. "The Frost Queen never contacted the Homeless Ship during her lifetime, but she did
The rebels accused her of colluding with the Lost Home. Today, half a century later, Alice has really become a crew member of the Lost Home - the accusation that the rebels had pressed against her back then has actually come true across time and space.
Already."
"No wonder you hurriedly went to see Miss Alice as soon as you came back. It turns out that you found the key information about Anomaly 099." Goat Head immediately began to flatter, "You are indeed the great Captain Duncan. Every trip of yours must be rewarding.
!This reminds me of what a navigator said, maybe it was..."
Duncan immediately glared at the goat head, casually took the pigeon off his shoulder and placed it in front of the goat head: "You two, let's talk."
Goat Head: “……!?”
…
In the central cathedral of the city-state of Puland, Vanna handed a just-signed document to her entourage: "Send this document to the Western Church - this is the last search warrant."
The young guard warrior took the document: "Yes, Inquisitor."
Fanna breathed out softly and moved her neck, which was slightly stiff from dealing with paperwork. She felt that dealing with a pen was more tiring than wielding a giant sword to fight against heretics.
On the edge of the table, an oil lamp was burning quietly, and smoke was rising from the copper incense burner. These two items are necessary protective measures when handling documents at night - even in a sacred cathedral, they should be protected.
Still have to have it.
"Hopefully there won't be any more trouble tonight."
The young Miss Inquisitor couldn't help mumbling while stretching.
As if in response to her murmur, as soon as Vanna finished speaking, a slightly urgent and sharp bell suddenly came from the direction of the main building of the church!
The guard soldier who had just picked up the documents and had not yet had time to leave the room stopped when he heard the sound of the bell. He glanced out the window in confusion, and then looked at his boss who had just stretched out his waist: "The night signal bell is ringing...
…What happened?"
"It's the bell calling for listening." Fanna quickly discerned the message conveyed by the bell, and her expression suddenly became serious, "Seven consecutive short beeps came from the 'Tomb of the Unknown King'... Could it be that a new discovery was discovered?
Anomalies or anomalies?”
