At this moment, he seemed to feel that the formidable ghost captain in front of him was not making a simple promise, but stating to him an established fact that would take shape one day in the future.
He didn't know where this feeling came from. He only knew that he lowered his head involuntarily at this moment and said with a kind of awe that even he couldn't describe: It's just as you said.
Duncan nodded, and then moved his eyes as if unintentionally, looking at the old ghost standing not far away, leaning against the wall as if in a daze.
At this moment, the old man did not utter any more words about the Frost Queen, nor did he murmur about the second waterway, the rebels and the like. He was just sitting there in a daze, as if his spirit was wandering in a place that was about to be destroyed.
In the time and space that people forget.
Does the Frost Queen still rule this place in the old man's chaotic memories?
Duncan withdrew his gaze, called Alice, who was also wandering beside him, and led Vanna and Morris towards the exit of the secret passage.
Not long after, they returned to the surface. After leaving the Golden Flute Tavern, they came to the crowded streets of Frost City.
The setting sun is gradually approaching the distant building roof, and the brilliant and mysterious double rune rings just touch the edges of several minarets in the upper city. From a visual perspective, it is as if the minarets made by mortals hold up the chains that bind the sun, making the sun wheel hang.
Generally over the city.
Dusk is approaching and curfew time is approaching. Due to the stricter curfew order, everyone is hurriedly returning to their homes or the nearest night shelter. Among the hurried people, Duncan and his party are still strolling leisurely.
Seems quite different.
But not many eyes paid attention to them, everyone was very busy.
What do you think of this matter? Vanna came to Duncan and lowered her voice and said - because of their similar height, she can get very close.
Duncan remained calm: Are you talking about the source of that 'fake'?
It seemed to appear out of thin air - Morris and I couldn't find any corresponding traces in our respective exploration methods, and even you couldn't find any clues. Vanna nodded lightly, and we have always believed that even these weird fakes
,,They also need to move through some normal methods. They need to have a source and a process of movement.
Duncan slowed down a bit and turned his head slightly: You want to say that those fakes may have some kind of spatial power that allows them to ignore the barriers of the real dimension and appear directly in specific places?
This is my suspicion.
Duncan was noncommittal, and after a few seconds he suddenly said: Have I told you what happened when Alice first arrived on the ship?
No, Vanna blinked, what happened when she first arrived on the ship?
The doll's coffin would keep coming back to the Lost Home - I threw her into the sea three times, and she and her wooden box returned to the ship three times. Duncan said slowly, how do you guess she came back?
Fanna thought for a while and said uncertainly: Relying on... the power of a curse? Some kind of 'returning power' of Anomaly 099? Is it also a power of space nature?
No, she rowed back on the coffin board, rowing very fast, Duncan said calmly, and then climbed directly along the stern shell with great strength - because she rowed too fast, I didn't catch it the first two times.
She was caught red-handed only the third time.
Fanna:……
The young judge and Morris next to him turned their heads at the same time, looking at the doll lady who was looking around with an indescribable look. The latter noticed the sight, turned her head and showed a harmless smile.
I don't rule out that those fakes will appear directly in the city-state through some method similar to space teleportation, but logically, if they can really be teleported directly to the city, why does the Haiyan have to come all the way from the open sea?
, instead of appearing directly in the port? Duncan said lightly, I prefer that the fake still needs to move normally, and the reason why the fake in the sewer looks like it 'appeared out of thin air,
Yes, it is probably just because we have overlooked something. Just like normal people would never think of a cursed doll returning repeatedly. The real reason is that she paddles very fast and has great strength.
After saying this, he paused and continued thoughtfully: It is more likely that the place where the crow accidentally entered was also due to this kind of neglect.
Morris, who had remained silent, suddenly reacted: some kind of 'channel' existed but could not be observed? Or a 'crack' that would open from time to time?
It's hard to say, but this matter must be closely related to those cultists, Duncan said, I am very concerned about the things recorded on the piece of paper brought back by the crow. They don't seem to be all the heretical thoughts that the gods are talking about.
It's more like describing the facts that happened in some way that modern people can't understand, and this kind of record has always been very popular with those cultists.
Maybe it’s time to bring Agou and Shirley over to look into the eyes of the deep demon. Maybe we can discover something in the dimension beyond reality.
A gray wind swept through the door of the port defense office, and the figure of gatekeeper Agatha stepped out of the gray wind.
Colonel Lister, who was behind the desk, raised his head and looked at the gatekeeper lady who appeared in his office: You didn't even bother to report this time.
Sorry, it's an emergency after all," Agatha said, suddenly noticing the two thick dark circles on Liszt's face. Didn't you sleep last night?
I wasn't the only one who didn't sleep. Liszt smiled bitterly and shook his head. We spent the whole night trying to decipher the mysterious signal sent by the Sea Fog Fleet. Several cryptographers and mathematicians almost started fighting with their chairs.
-This is the first time I know that elegant scholars will greet other people's relatives when they quarrel.
Agatha was silent for a moment, her eyes seemed a little strange, and after a moment she said: "The cathedral may borrow some scholars from you, who are in the field of cryptography and mathematics."
Liszt was stunned: Why?
Agatha's face was expressionless (half of her expression was blocked by the bandage): ...decipher the evil secret left to us by another evil being.
Well, it seems that you have no less worries than me. Liszt sighed, then cheered up and said, let’s get down to business. What do you want to know about your sudden visit?
Regarding the city-state's blockade, Agatha said that originally the cathedral should not be involved in the city-state's defense issues, but now that the situation is special, I really can't worry about it.
I understand, Liszt nodded, please rest assured, the entire Hanshuang has now been completely sealed off - even if there are places that are not sealed in place, with such a huge sea fog fleet gathering offshore, it is impossible for anyone to dare to enter or exit casually.
We have temporarily frozen all port departure permissions, and have informed surrounding city-states and ships on the outer sea to stay away from the frost. All port entry applications received so far have also been rejected.
Very good, at least this will not make the problem bigger. Agatha breathed out softly, where is the Dagger Island?
It is still under lockdown until the cathedral gives further professional advice, Liszt said, his expression slightly solemn. As of yesterday, the island was still sending regular reports that everything was normal, even if the city-state
The government has stopped supplying materials to the island and cut off all communication responses. There has been no other response from the other side.
Don't let your guard down. The Haiyan incident proved that the pollution on the island has a tendency to actively transfer to the city-state. That thing will not just calm down. Agatha said seriously. The cathedral is already preparing a bomb.
A force composed of Deathsworn and Ascetic monks, but it will take some time to unseal the powerful holy artifact.
Liszt nodded, and then seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the corridor, interrupting his movements.
A port soldier appeared at the office door.
Liszt raised his head and looked at the soldier with a slightly hurried look on his face: What happened?
The soldier stood up straight and reported the report quickly: Sir, a ship is scheduled to arrive in the cold weather.
Frost's docked ship didn't show up on time.
Didn't show up on time? No end, Liszt frowned, now all routes around the city-state have been blocked, of course no ship will dock.
Report sir, it's not that it didn't dock - it didn't show up at all! The soldier quickly explained that the ship was supposed to arrive today, and we were ready to send it a notice of city-state blockade, but it has not contacted us for a long time. We just
They contacted Lenggang again, and Lenggang confirmed that the ship had completed the supply inspection normally on their side - but after approaching the Frost Coast, there was no news from it!
Hearing this, Liszt's expression finally became serious. He took a breath and stood up from his desk: What's the name of that ship?
