Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 353

[Chapter 351]

After the city was besieged by sea fog, after the night fell, Xiaoxue fluttered down again. In the foggy night background, most of the cold brilliance of the creation of the world was blocked by the clouds, and only a few pieces of chaotic light diffused through the gaps in the clouds. , and the gas lights in the streets and alleys were turned on one after another, reflecting the fluttering snowflakes in midair, showing a quiet atmosphere different from that of Prand.

Fan Na stood in front of the narrow window, stared at the night scene outside for a while, and sighed: “I think they must have not sent the money – and by this time a group of experts should have been summoned to decipher the information you left in the letter. The ‘secret number’.”

Duncan turned his head: “As for the exaggeration?”

Fan Na turned her head and looked at her current temporary boss seriously: “…Did you write in the letter that the string of numbers is What are you doing?”

“I didn’t write it, but isn’t this the standard format for a report letter?” Duncan said confidently, “Just attach the account number at the end of the report letter. I heard that many places will deliberately not write more notes in front of the account to show subtlety and euphemism-I think I should be more tactful.”

Fan Na looked at Duncan fixedly, and after a long time, she couldn’t help but sighed: ” Sigh…”

Duncan thought for a while, but he actually had some B in his heart when he said this, and he couldn’t help but feel a little more embarrassed in his tone: “It seems that it is not easy for them to understand?

” Looking tired: “It’s good if you can understand it.”

Duncan lowered his head and thought carefully: “…Isn’t it good to write a second letter later?” “

You…you still hope that they can understand as soon as possible.” The intention of that report letter.” Fan Na couldn’t help rubbing the center of her brows, she felt that she had once again discovered something unexpected about Captain Duncan, this powerful and terrifying captain… so it turns out that he also has such a distinct and interesting personality?

Duncan didn’t care what Fan Na was feeling, but asked seemingly casually: “You sent Annie back today, is her family okay?”

Fanna nodded immediately: “Everything in Annie’s house is normal, there is no sign of being corrupted by extraordinary visions, and there are no traces of oblivion cultists nearby, and there are no suspicious people in the surrounding residents. Mrs. Belloni…is our current landlord lady , It looks like a…”

“Stop, stop,” Duncan waved his hand quickly before the other party finished speaking, “I’m asking you about her family situation and living conditions, and I didn’t ask you to report according to the process of investigating heresy, occupational disease control For a moment.”

Fan Na was startled, and immediately reacted, coughing dryly: “Cough, sorry, I’m a little… used to my job. Everything is fine there, although I just stayed for a while and talked to Ms. Belloni for a few minutes. But it can be roughly judged that after all six years have passed, their mother and daughter have walked out of the shadow of the past.

” Now Anne is studying in the city-state public school, and Ms. Belloni not only rents out the house to earn income, but also has some clerical The work in this area is enough to support the family, and after all, they are the family of a captain. The Frost authorities also take care of such survivors, just like other city-states. In general… don’t worry about their situation. Duncan

listened silently and nodded.

Fanna hesitated for a moment, but finally she couldn’t help asking: “You don’t mind Annie telling the story here…is it really good?” It may not be long before the cemetery keeper will know that you live in the city so generously, and then the matter will be reported to the cathedral immediately, and the gatekeeper and the bishop will be alarmed. “

“And then?” “Duncan turned his head and asked calmly.

“Then… how much trouble will it be?” “Fan Na said, but under Duncan’s gaze, her tone suddenly became a little unsure, “The intervention of the city-state authorities may…” “

How will they interfere with us?” Will a team of guards be sent to catch people? Duncan laughed. “Or will the gatekeeper come forward and talk to me?” As for me, what would I care about them? Are you worried about your whereabouts being exposed? Or are you worried about hostile actions by the authorities? “

Duncan said, spreading his hands.

“I didn’t drive the Lost Home again. “

Fan Na opened her mouth. She always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but she didn’t think of how to deal with the captain’s calm words. After holding back for a long time, she could only say: “How do I feel? Maybe it will be fun?”

“Yes.”

Fanna: “…”

Duncan smiled, and turned his eyes to the night outside the window again, he didn’t care that the face of the lady judge next to him suddenly brightened Only after silently admiring the night scene for a few minutes, he suddenly said casually: “Fan Na, why do I suddenly feel that you are becoming less and less like a judge—normally speaking of the church and authorities of a certain city-state, your Shouldn’t the first reaction be a reliable ally?”

The corners of Fan Na’s mouth visibly trembled, as if thousands of words were surging in her heart, but she didn’t utter a single word in the end.

At the same time, outside the Frost City-State, on the boundless night sky, a huge fleet was slowly slowing down and cruising at a low speed amid the freezing fog and surrounding ice floes.

The majestic steel prow of the Sea Fog stands in the darkness, the glow from the navigation lights from the side illuminates one corner of it, and nearby lights from the side of the ship illuminate the dark sea surface, on the sea surface Among the sparkling waves, there are faintly visible fluctuations of reflection.

It was finely crushed ice floe.

On this cold sea, all captains have heard this sentence –

when the mist suddenly appears, and the ice floes emerge from the fog, and gradually imprison your ship like a shackle, then get ready, sea Here comes the foghorn.

The Seafog is here now, and the whole Seafog fleet is here.

Tirian stood on the high bridge, looking out through the wide windows into the distance.

At the current distance, it is actually impossible to see the Frost City State directly – but in the dark background, he can still see a little light floating there, that is the direction of the City State.

The Sea Mist Fleet is actually heading for Dagger Island, and Tirian himself has no intention of landing on the Frost Island—but for the Frost people who have been nervous for half a century, all this makes no difference, as long as “steel The appearance of the flag of “Lieutenant General” on the nearby sea is enough for them to sleep and eat.

He could almost imagine that the defenders of that city-state were in a hurry at the moment.

The sound of footsteps came from the side, and the first mate Aiden came to Tirian. The rough-faced bald man looked quite happy: “Captain, the Sea Crow and the Fjord have led their frigates to leave. Arriving at the scheduled location two hours later and blocking the route, the ship of the Sea Mist has already lifted the blackout—the gang of Frostmen will not be able to sleep well tonight.” Tirian nodded, with a smile on his face

. With a slight smile, his eyes swept across the sea around the Sea Mist.

In the darkness, the entire Boundless Sea remained silent, only the Sea Fog, which was lifted from the blackout, floated here, as eye-catching as a gas lamp in the dark night.

Under normal circumstances, night-flying warships on military missions are subject to light control. Unnecessary lighting will reveal their position, and it is easy to cause confusion when friendly parties identify light signals-but the Haiwu is so generous He put himself out in a convenient way, showing his existence to Frost as if provocative.

Tirian was not at all worried that this would irritate Frost’s city-state navy, let alone the so-called misfire incident.

In this world, except for the Lost Homeland, no one can defeat the “living ship” of the Sea Fog in a night battle. On the other hand… If the Frost Navy is really stupid enough to take the initiative today, hide The other six warships in the waters around the Sea Fog will immediately teach them how to behave.

Of course, Tirian’s high-profile behavior here is not just to provoke Frost, but his more important purpose is to complete what his father told him—to make Frost city-state nervous, the more nervous the better, it is best to

let They directly blocked the entire Frost Island, prohibiting all air routes to enter and exit.

Judging from the situation observed so far, this goal should have been achieved – the garrison navy of the Frost City-State has blocked the port and sent a signal to the surrounding city-states to suspend shipping.

Everything is going according to father’s plan.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from a nearby copper pipe, and Aiden walked over immediately, chatted with a certain post on the opposite side of the copper pipe, and then returned to Tirian with a smile on his face. : “Captain, the Frostman seems to be restless—a small boat appeared on the nearby sea.”

Tirian raised his eyebrows: “A small boat?”

“Yes, it looks unarmed, and it actively lights up With three yellow and one white signal lights, it seems that I am afraid of causing any misunderstanding,” Aiden said, “The ship carefully parked outside the range of the searchlights, as if it wanted to perform observation missions in a state of non-negotiation and hostility.” “Observation

… It’s okay, at least there is still some concentration,” Tirian shrugged, “Let it observe, and fire a warning if it gets too close.” “

Yes.” Aiden immediately took the order, but before he turned around, Tirian suddenly stopped Him: “Wait.”

“What else do you want?”

“Sign them up,” said Tirian.

“Lighting signal?” Aiden was slightly taken aback, “What’s the content?”

The corners of Tirian’s mouth curled up. This big pirate with a reputation on the cold sea had a mischievous smile on his face at this moment: “The content What do you want—a blind flash.”

Aiden: “… huh?”

“Let the signaler flash casually,” Tirian touched his chin, and said happily, “Give Frost’s expert consultants a little The problem of the century.”

A smile visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared on Aiden’s face, and even his bald head seemed to shine brightly.

“Yes, Captain!”
