"About...the mysterious light signal you sent to our reconnaissance boat before," Eddie looked a little embarrassed and said while thinking about his words, "We have been deciphering it for a long time after we went back..."
Ti Rui quietly stared at the Mr. Messenger in front of him. It wasn't until the other person's expression became more and more awkward under his gaze that he suddenly smiled.
"The sailors neglected maintenance and the signal light failed."
Eddie: "...?"
Tirian finally laughed happily.
The expression on Eddie's face changed several times, and his hands brushed the buttons on the dress, but gradually, he also started laughing, laughing along with Tirian.Sto⑤②0.COM first website
Tirian suddenly stopped smiling.
He reached out and patted the "Frost Ambassador" in front of him on the shoulder.
"They've sent a very nice man, Mr. Eddy—I'm almost tempted to ask you to stay on board for dinner."
"But I must return to the ship in time." Eddie also stopped laughing and slowly shook his head. "Too many people's nerves are tense. We can't continue to focus on mutual vigilance and speculation."
Tirian didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, then stretched out his hand to the side, making a gesture of seeing off guests.
Eddie also nodded slightly, straightened his dress and tie, and prepared to walk to the ladder on the other side of the deck.
I seemed to see something out of the corner of my eye, and my footsteps suddenly stopped.
The Frostbringer came to the side of the ship in surprise and looked at the sea below: "Captain Tirian, what is that?"
"Huh?" Tirian frowned and looked in the direction of Eddie's finger in confusion.

He saw that thing - it was a shadow.
Below the sea surface, where the depth cannot be determined, there is a hazy shadow passing through the vast area between the Sea Fog and several frigates, moving into the distance at a very fast speed.
The shadow was illusory and transparent, like the reflection of a ship in the water, but no structure on the ship could be seen clearly. Tirian stared at the thing for a long time, but he only felt that it seemed to be... the bottom of a ship.
.
It's as if there is a boat upside down in the water, sailing below the surface of the water.
Tirian raised his head and looked towards the direction in which the shadow was sailing.
That's the direction where Dagger Island once stood.
Guards, "But based on what we've tested so far, everything is fine here."
"Yes," the manager showed a somewhat forced smile, "Every link here has alarm devices to detect possible blasphemy contamination. There are also three resident priests in the treatment center, and they will also test water samples every day...
…”
"Resident priest?" Agatha seemed to suddenly think of something and turned her head, "How many resident priests did you just say there are here?"
"Three...three," perhaps because Agatha's tone suddenly became a little scary, the manager stuttered subconsciously, "Is there any problem?"
"You can only have two chaplains here - there are strict regulations on the number of resident chaplains in municipal facilities at all levels. Where can you get the third one?"
The manager's expression was stunned for a moment, and then a layer of sweat visible to the naked eye appeared on his forehead, and a look of nervousness and fear appeared in his eyes.Sto⑤②0.COM first website
Upon seeing this, Agatha immediately raised her cane and put it on the other person's shoulder, forcing the "fear" from his mind. At the same time, she said with a serious expression: "Listen, you must stay calm next - go and get all the people stationed there.
The priest has brought the land, just saying that the gatekeeper needs to know more about the situation and not show other emotions, do you understand?"
The manager's mood quickly calmed down a lot, but there was still some tension left. He nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Ming... understand... I'll go right away."
Agatha nodded and put away her cane, but when the other party was about to leave, she remembered something and quickly said: "Wait, not just the resident priest - call everyone."
The manager turned around and was startled: "Everyone?"
"Everyone," Agatha repeated in a deep voice, and then asked worriedly, "Has anyone left this processing center since yesterday?"
"No!" the manager replied immediately. "When we received the order, it was exactly fifteen minutes before the shift change. All the people working here stayed."
"Very well, bring them all - just say it's a necessary inspection, be more relaxed and don't arouse suspicion, and go ahead."
The somewhat balding manager turned around and walked away quickly, calming down his emotions as he walked. Agatha stood motionless by the buffer pool until she watched the other person disappear behind a door not far away.
Only then did she raise her hand to signal to the surrounding guards who had noticed the movement.
The nearby guards in black immediately took action, arranging hidden runes in the open space around the buffer pool, sprinkling essential oils and crushed incense powder at intersections and pipes, and standing in specific positions to make still.
Inspecting what the facility looks like.
Agatha raised her cane while the guards were moving, and slowly drew a triangular outline with a side length of about two meters around the area where she was standing. Then she stood in the center of the triangle, holding her cane in both hands, and waited calmly.
With.
Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from the direction of the gate. The manager returned to the factory where the buffer pool was located, and a large group of people followed him.
Among them were three priests wearing robes of the Church of Death and wearing holy symbols.
More than a dozen employees of the processing center were present, led by managers. The priest walked from the side of the team and saluted Agatha in accordance with the etiquette and status of the priests of the Church of Death.
Agatha ordered the three priests to stand apart, and then her eyes slowly swept across all the faces.
