Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 378

[Chapter 376 Reflection]

Eddie took the boat to the Sea Fog, and those undead sailors with terrifying faces looked at him up and down as if they were watching a rare animal.

This made the confidential secretary feel awkward and even a little creepy.

“I didn’t expect you to ask for a person to come,” the undead sailor with a swollen body said, with a sigh in his tone, “Our captain can say that three people are allowed on board.” “Three people and

one There is no difference between people.” Eddie shook his head, “If General Tirian allows me to bring the whole team, of course I will take all the advisers and assistants, but he only allows three people… that is the same as myself Going is no different.”

“You can lead two soldiers to strengthen your courage.” An undead sailor beside him laughed, and a hissing sound came from his leaky throat.

“I don’t need to be brave, soldiers can’t help.” Eddie shook his head and said solemnly.

His attitude bored the undead sailors, and someone in the boat muttered: “…pretentious official.” After a while, Tirian saw the

emissary from the city-a , hair combed meticulously, looks like a man in his thirties or forties who was drinking tea in the office just a second ago.

Greasy head and noodles, and came alone.

This surprised the big pirate who had prepared himself, and even felt an awkward feeling of powerlessness—he thought that the first person to board the Shanghai Mist would at least be a military member.

But soon, he probably guessed the intention of the Frost authorities’ arrangement:

the relationship between the Sea Mist Fleet and the city-state is already tense enough, and the two sides have been confronting each other over the powder keg for fifty years. It doesn’t make much sense to send a few more officers over to deal with them—sending a clerk over can at least show a little friendliness.

The clerk was obviously a little nervous.

On the deck of the Seamist, Tirian looked up and down the “city-state diplomat” in front of him. He could clearly distinguish the other party’s forced calm eyes and the disordered rhythm of breathing-this gentleman’s composure is actually very good. , but it is a pity that his kung fu can deal with ordinary people, but he can’t deal with a captain commanding an army of undead.

Tirian could hear every beat of the diplomat’s heart.

Eddie was also observing the great pirate in front of him—observing the man who had once defended the city-state, but now almost became the source of horror legends in the hearts of all Frost people.

Tall, strong, silent, majestic, with a single eye that carries the meaning of scrutiny and overlooking, each gaze is like a trial.

In front of this great pirate, it seemed that even breathing became a very strenuous task.

“General Tirian,” Eddie tried to take a few deep breaths, straightened himself up, and faced the scrutinizing eyes of the big pirate, “On behalf of Frost City, I would like to extend my greetings to you—I am very glad to be on board this ship. The legendary battleship.”

“Half a century,” Tirian calmly looked at the man in front of him who was a head shorter than himself, “Frost finally mustered up the courage to talk to me?”

Eddie didn’t pay any attention to what the other party said With the provocative meaning in it, I just continued to speak: “I came here on a mission-the entanglement between Frost and the Sea Fog Fleet does exist, but that is not what we are going to talk about today. You should know the troubles that the city-state is encountering now. We I just want to know why the Sea Fog Fleet came—General Tirian, what do you want and what do you want to do?”

“General… put away this title, it doesn’t please me,” Tirian looked at Ai indifferently. Di glanced at Di, and slowly walked towards the edge of the ship not far away, “As for what I want to do…isn’t it obvious enough? I’m sealing off this city-state that is about to fall—to prevent your disaster from spreading, causing me to be cold ‘Trading partners’ on the cold seas.”

“Trading partners?”

“I don’t think there’s a problem with that title—they pay the price, and the Fog Fleet keeps them safe on the cold seas,” Tirian turned his head, “You don’t Think it’s a very good trade relationship?”

The corner of Eddie’s mouth trembled a little, but he quickly concealed the change. He glanced at the undead sailors around him, and then slowly walked to Tirian: “You mean…you just want to Help Frost control this crisis?”

“It’s a bit self-indulgent, but it’s okay if you want to think so,” Tirian said casually, “I don’t need you to do anything, as long as you don’t mess with me.”

Ai Di was silent for two seconds, and finally said cautiously: “… May I know why you want to help?”

Tirian put his hands on the railing on the edge of the ship’s side, without turning back: “The reason is important?” “

I need a reason , it can make my superiors and colleagues feel at ease.”

“Ah, Mr. Eddie, so you actually need a reason to make people feel at ease,” Tirian laughed, and he turned his head and looked at Eddie. Eddie’s eyes, “Then let me tell you the reason – it’s just father’s order.”

Eddie froze.

After a while, his expression visibly frightened.

“It seems that you have thought of it, yes, my father’s order, you just take it from him from the subspace, he asked me to send troops to surround your poor little city-state – so go back and tell your superiors, Hai The Mist Fleet is executing the will from the warp,” Tirian said happily, “and then they can sleep like babies.” The

happy expression on the big pirate’s face was obvious, and Eddie finally realized—or Said that he thought he had reacted, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead: “Your joke is not good at all, Tirian will… Captain, I understand what you mean, since you don’t want to To explain, I don’t need to ask.”

Tirian looked at the “Frost Ambassador” in front of him calmly, and clicked his tongue after a while.

No one believes the truth these days.

But he was still very happy.

It is always a pleasure to watch this serious Frost senior official startled in front of him.

“You can leave now, Mr. Eddie,” he said politely, “There is no dinner for you on board.”

Eddie was obviously stunned for a moment: “Ah? Wait, I still…”

“You still have There are a lot of things I want to ask, such as the future plan of the Sea Mist Fleet, such as things about Dagger Island, such as the Queen and the Abyss plan back then, but unfortunately I don’t have much to say to Frost,” Tirian said calmly , “You have achieved your goal and completed your task, go back and tell your superiors, if there is anything to do in the future, you can directly use the wireless telegraph to contact you, you don’t need to send someone – any open frequency band, We can all receive it.”

Eddie was stunned, and then immediately reacted, with a hint of joy on his face: “Ah, yes, Captain Tirian, thank you very much for your understanding…”

He paused for a while, As if thinking of something suddenly, he said hurriedly: “Ah, wait, there is one more question, the last question!”

Tirian raised his eyebrows: “Oh?

” “Signal,” Eddie said with a slightly embarrassed expression, while choosing his words carefully, “We have been deciphering it for a long time after we went back…”

Terry quietly watched Mr. Messenger in front of him, until the other party’s expression became more and more awkward under his gaze , he suddenly smiled.

“The sailors are negligent in maintenance, and the signal light is out of order.”

Eddie: “…?”

Tirian finally laughed happily.

The expression on Eddie’s face changed several times, and his hand flicked the buttons on the dress, but gradually, he laughed too, laughing with Tirian.

Tyrian stopped smiling suddenly.

He stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the “Frost Ambassador” in front of him.

“They’ve sent a nice guy, Mr. Eddie—I’m almost about to ask you to stay on board for dinner.”

“But I have to 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 He didn’t say anything, just nodded slightly, then stretched out his hand to the side, making a gesture of seeing off the guest.

Eddie also nodded slightly, then adjusted his dress and tie, and prepared to walk to the ladder on the other side of the deck.

But at this moment, he seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye, and his footsteps stopped suddenly.

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 at Eddie’s finger in doubt direction.

He saw the thing – it was a shadow.

Below the surface of the sea, where the depth cannot be judged, there is a hazy shadow passing through the vast area between the Sea Fog and several frigates, moving towards the distance at a very fast speed.

The shadow was illusory and transparent, like the reflection of a ship in the water, but he couldn’t see any structure on the ship. Tirian stared at it for a long time, but he only felt that it was… the bottom of a ship.

It was as if there was a ship upside down in the water, sailing below the surface of the water.

Tirian raised his head and looked in the direction the shadow was sailing.

That was the direction Dagger Island used to be.
