Chapter 496 The evil and humorous atmosphere of the Lost Home
On one side of the long table, Lawrence carefully observed the behavior of everyone present, and at the same time carefully controlled every expression and every muscle of his own. He thought about how he should naturally integrate into this special gathering without
Seems like...an outsider.
Many stories about legendary investigators and legendary adventurers flooded into my mind, and then faded away like sea water flowing through the beach, leaving no reference except for some messy thoughts.
After thinking wildly for a long time, he plucked up some courage and whispered to Agatha who was nearest him: "When will Captain Duncan arrive?"
"I don't know either. He said he had to wait for everyone to gather," Agatha lowered her voice, "Just wait patiently."
"Are there any rules later?" Lawrence asked in a low voice, "This is my first time attending a rally..."
"It's my first time too," Agatha folded her hands on her chest, seemingly praying silently, but like Lawrence, she was also carefully observing the situation in the cabin - although she knew the people at the long table.
Face, this ship is indeed her first visit, "But I don't think there is any need to be nervous. We have dealt with each other in the city-state, and everyone is very friendly."
Lawrence groaned, but still couldn't sit still, and couldn't help but look at Fanna who was sitting a seat away - this Judge Plande was more or less his "acquaintance": "Your Excellency Judge, this is me
This is my first time attending a rally. If I do something rude later, please help me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Vanna could say anything, Shirley across the table suddenly said: "What? You asked this person to help you take care of the rudeness? Old man, let me tell you, when she becomes rude,
The movement is bigger than that of you, I think she jumped and struck..."
"Ahem." Vanna suddenly coughed loudly, interrupting Shirley's narration, and just as Lawrence was stunned by this, Nina across the table put down her book, looked around and muttered: "I'm hungry."
Come on, when will dinner be served..."
Shirley shook her head: "It's too early to leave for dinner."
Nina was stunned: "Ah? Then why do we come to the restaurant?"
"The captain said there are important things to discuss, didn't you hear?"
"Didn't hear that... I was just busy reading. Uncle Duncan said he would meet at the restaurant, so I came over with the book." Nina shook her head, "Who has something to eat?"
"I have biscuits! And dried salted fish!" Alice stood up immediately and said happily while taking out snacks from the pocket of her skirt, "Who else wants to eat?"
Nina and Shirley immediately jumped forward excitedly, and Agou was pulled to the side by the chain. He immediately used his paws to pull the draft paper and shouted: "Hey Shirley, please get up and say something, I have coordinates."
The painting is crooked..."
Lawrence stared at this scene in stunned silence, watching the atmosphere in this gloomy and solemn assembly hall suddenly become lively. He hesitantly turned his head and glanced at Morris, the only one who was still sitting upright. The latter took off the pipe from his mouth,
She nodded friendly towards him: "Just get used to it, it's like this every day on the ship - if you're hungry, just tell Alice, she's in charge of everyone's meals."
Lawrence felt his brain spinning in a half circle, and said with difficulty: "Um, I'm... not hungry."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a flash of green fire near the door of the restaurant out of the corner of his eye. He suddenly became excited and tense. However, just when he was about to open his mouth to remind everyone, the door opened.
The person who walked in was not the owner of the Lost Home.
Tirian appeared at the door carrying a suitcase with some unsteady steps, looking at the scene in the restaurant with a hint of confusion.
Shirley climbed onto the table, the dog was hung in the air, Nina was hung on Alice, and Alice, the living doll with the face of the Frost Queen, was holding up her hands at the moment, holding a full hand with one hand.
I picked up biscuits and had one hand full of dried fish.
The gatekeeper of Frost and the judge of Purland sat across the table with expressionless faces, covering their foreheads with their hands calmly.
Tirian's appearance attracted everyone's attention. Even Shirley, who was stuffing dried fish into her mouth, stopped. Several eyes at the long table fell on Hanshuang's new consul at the same time - Qi
The glances made even the "Steel Lieutenant General" who was used to seeing strong winds and waves subconsciously take half a step back.
But after all, this was not the first time Tirian had seen the current atmosphere of the Lost Home. He quickly reacted, straightened his expression, and walked towards the long table while greeting everyone present in a friendly manner - polite and graceful.
In such a way that no one can tell that he has been roaming this cold sea as a great pirate for the past half century.
"Sorry, it took a while to sort things out and kept everyone waiting," Tirian said as he came to the empty seat next to the long table. He put the rather heavy suitcase in his hand on the table and then looked up.
Looking around, "Isn't father here yet?"
Almost as soon as Tirian finished speaking, Duncan's voice suddenly appeared in front of the long table: "I'm here."
The next second, a green flame ignited out of thin air at the end of the long table, rising and exploding. The flame fell towards the long table, and Duncan's figure condensed from the flame, appeared, and sat in front of the long table.
on that chair.
The next second, along with several faint sounds of "whirring", all the lights in the cabin were tinged with a faint green glow.
A low, disturbing creaking sound came from deep inside the cabin.
Morris's face suddenly changed slightly - he felt that the "atmosphere" of the ship itself was changing!
The captain is adjusting the Lost Home into some sort of... defensive stance!
And then, he heard the captain's voice rang out in the flames: "What I'm going to say today is extremely special and dangerous, so it requires the highest level of protection. From now on, the Homeless Ship will sneak into the spirit world. During the meeting, there will be
Members of firm faith, please pay attention to your mental state at all times. When you hear some secrets pointing to the gods, if you hear or see any 'revelation', report it to me immediately."
Vanna, Maurice and Agatha looked at each other subconsciously, but after only hesitating for a moment, they nodded slightly.
Duncan's eyes fell on Tirian: "Did you bring the crystal ball?"
"Bring it." Tirian said immediately, and then raised his hand to open the heavy suitcase he brought. The crystal ball containing extraordinary power and the lens device with complex structure were then presented to everyone. Then, he began to operate the lens.
The complex structures on the base place all the lenses in the correct position.
The next moment, the crystal ball began to brighten little by little.
After waiting for a moment, a hazy figure appeared in the dim light, and then the figure quickly became clear again.
Lucretia's figure appeared in the crystal ball - appeared for a moment, and then suddenly disappeared as the screen faded.
Nina, who was watching curiously with her head raised, was suddenly confused and turned to look at Tirian: "Is it broken?"
Tirian touched his chin awkwardly: "...she fell off the chair."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustle and the sound of debris being pushed away from the crystal ball. Lucretia finally appeared in the center of the picture again, this "sea witch" with a hint of horror and nervousness.
Looking at the scene on this side of the crystal ball, the next second he glared at Tirian: "Brother! What are you doing?!"
"I asked him to bring the crystal ball to the Lost Home, Lucy." Before Tirian could speak, Duncan's voice came from the side, "But I didn't expect that he didn't say hello to you in advance -
-Don't be afraid, just by saying a few words to your father, you won't be cursed."
Lucretia in the crystal ball looked strange. She was obviously not ready for this sudden meeting and conversation, so she seemed a little restless. But soon she became aware of the unusually serious atmosphere here, and felt a little uneasy in her heart.
He was immediately suppressed, replaced by the calmness he tried to regain: "Father, long time no see. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
"Actually, it's not a long time - don't mind, I understand your reaction," Duncan showed a smile, then raised his head and motioned to the other figures around the long table, "Let's give a brief introduction first, Lucy.
What you see are the new crew members of the Lost Home and the new captain of the Lost Home Fleet..."
He introduced the people around the long table one by one, and those whose names he called stood up to greet them. At the end, he pointed to the figure in the crystal ball: "This is my daughter, Lucretia - you
Many people should know her, so no further introduction is needed, right?"
"The famous 'Frontier Adventurer' and the 'Sea Witch' who has made great achievements in the field of occultism," Morris nodded immediately, "It's an honor to meet you, Madam."
Lucretia nodded slightly reservedly: "I have also heard of your name - even in Qingfeng Port and Moko, the senior professors of the Academy of Truth always quoted many of your achievements and achievements when discussing issues.
View."
After regaining her composure, the "Sea Witch" appeared dignified and calm. She sat upright in the crystal ball, exuding confidence and elegance in her movements.
It doesn't look like someone who just fell off a chair.
"Okay, that's enough introductions and pleasantries," Duncan intervened in the topic at the right time, "Let's get down to business."
His eyes scanned everyone present.
Everyone has arrived.
Even the goat head that remained in the captain's cabin and could not move was listening to what was going on here with his permission.
Duncan breathed softly and broke the silence:
"In short, Agatha and I successfully conducted a deep dive under the frost. The specific depth of the dive exceeded the depth of the abyss plan half a century ago. During the deep dive, we witnessed many horrors.
People's situation, I learned the truth that is enough to subvert many people's cognition.
"First, we confirmed the underlying structure of the city-state - there is some extremely huge biological organization there..."
