Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 84

[Chapter 84 Ghost is also entangled with reality]

Uncle brought the soothing herbal wine. The potency of the medicine and the power of the alcohol finally calmed down Fanna’s slightly irritable mood. She opened the door leading to the balcony, stood on the balcony and blew Wind, looking in the direction of the cathedral in the distance.

Dante Wayne’s voice came from behind her: “Every time you come back to live, you have nightmares, and you always dream about things when you were a child.” “…

as a judge, this is an undeserved display of weakness “Fan Na’s voice is low, she is more than a head taller than her uncle, but she doesn’t mind showing the true side of her heart in front of this elder who depended on each other to raise her, “I am very distressed. “

…Have you talked to Heidi?”

“She recommended four brain surgeries and two nerve puncture treatments to me,” Fanna sighed. “Considering the many years of friendship, I didn’t do it.” “

… …It’s her style, she doesn’t deal with normal people very much,” Dante Wayne shook his head, “Actually, I didn’t expect that you would still be trapped by the nightmare of that night after all these years.” “I

always I thought I had already walked out,” Fan Na rubbed the center of her brows, “Maybe it really has something to do with this big house, as long as I come back here, I will dream about the scene at that time… Maybe I should consider re-examining this house. Hold an exorcism ceremony, or I always feel that the shadow of the disaster that year was sealed in this building…”

Uncle Dante thought for a while, but he didn’t raise any objections, but asked thoughtfully: “Is there still that fire in your nightmare this time?”

Fan Na nodded: “Yes, there are fires everywhere. You escaped from the fire with my back on your back. I even clearly remember that we passed through the pipeline in the factory. Fleeing from the city, there is a burning building nearby that is gradually collapsing in the fire…”

She stopped at this point, her eyes fell on her uncle: “…you don’t remember the fire, do you?”

“It’s not just that I don’t remember, everyone doesn’t remember,” the city-state consul with a serious expression slowly shook his head, “I only remember the pipeline where the poison gas leaked and the cultists who went crazy… Who were the people involved that night? There are many, but it seems that only you saw the blazing sea of flames.”

Fan Na didn’t speak for a while, she just thought in silence for an unknown amount of time, and then she suddenly said softly: “Except for the ‘fire’, my memory and yours It all fit together… I didn’t understand anything at the time, but it’s clear to me now that some otherworldly force must have been at work, and after all these years I’ve been promoted to a saint, the influence still hasn’t Dissipate.”

“This shows that either the personality of this influence is so high that it has imprinted an indelible mark on your soul, or the source of the influence has not disappeared with that incident subsided, but has been on the contrary. Hiding somewhere in the city-state – I have been investigating this matter for years, but unfortunately, there has been no progress.”

Dante Wayne’s tone was a little apologetic at the end, he was not only sorry for the inability to solve I am sorry for my niece’s troubles, and I also feel regretful because I, as the city-state consul, have been unable to investigate an old case.

The “big chaos” eleven years ago left too long a scar.

Fan Na knew that this matter was not only her own heart trouble, but also her uncle’s heart trouble, but she was not good at comforting others. After thinking for a long time, she could only divert the topic: “I remember that at that time, many cult members were arrested. , Judging from the subsequent liquidation, that incident was even larger than the ‘Black Sun’ incident four years ago.” “

Yeah, thousands of people were arrested, so many that I wonder how so many cultists can hide In the city-state of Purland,” Dante Wayne sighed, “and there is more than one sect… There are sun heresies who follow the black sun, there are oblivion believers who worship the deep god, and there are even worshipers who worship Asia The final preacher of space itself…these maggots in the gutter all popped out that night, wrecking insanely everywhere.”

Fan Na looked at Dante: “But according to the results of the subsequent interrogation, none of the thousands of saboteurs arrested by the authorities can be called the ‘mastermind’, and no one even knows why the chaos was caused that night. The believers are organizing to sabotage, it is better to say that they were just detonated at the same time and fell into a state of collective loss of control.”

Dante did not speak for a while, he thought quietly, and then suddenly looked at Fan Na Eyes: “The reason for your irritability is not just because of having that nightmare—the sudden mention of these things has something to do with the recent instability in the city-state?

” Converging towards the city-state, they were looking for an ‘anomaly’ called a sun shard, and the Lost Country also reappeared in the real world almost at the same time, and its ‘course’ vaguely pointed to Prand, although these two things still could not say Well, it has nothing to do with it, but this turbulent atmosphere… always reminds me of the chaos eleven years ago.” “…

I have ordered all ports to strictly check the flow of people, and I have cooperated with other city-states. The consul got the news that many sun heretics were caught on the ship, and their access to the city-state was basically cut off. As for those who have already flowed into Purand… it mainly depends on the actions of the church, the guardians. He is a professional who seeks out and locks down extraordinary crimes.”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged consul suddenly stopped, as if he was carefully considering whether something should be raised now, but after a moment of hesitation, he still made up his mind: “As for the matter of the Lost Homeland, I can’t help much in the extraordinary domain, but I have an idea about the secular aspects.” “Secular aspects

?” Fan Na frowned. What connection can a ghost ship have with the “worldly”, and then I remembered a certain saying, “Wait, you mean…” “The

captain of the pioneer exploration ship Bright Star, Lucrecia Abu Normar, and the pirate leader in the northern seas, the captain of the Sea Mist, Tirian Abu Normar,” Dante said unhurriedly, “The Lost Home is a ghost ship beyond the understanding of reality. But as long as it was a member of the real world, the real world will retain the ‘anchor’ that it once existed in the world… I don’t know how Captain Duncan’s sons and daughters will react to their ‘father’ reappearing in this world.”

Fan Na slowly opened her eyes wide. She is used to directly dealing with the enemy with simple and rude methods, but she has never considered matters related to the Lost Homeland from this angle, but soon she frowned: “But I I heard that those two people hardly deal with the city-state forces… They formed their own forces in the boundless sea, and maintained a cold or even tense relationship with all the city-states.” “This is normal, after all, they are the children of the ghost captain

. The Brilliant Star and the Sea Mist were the two escort ships of the Lost Home – even though they parted ways a hundred years ago, in the eyes of most city-states, as long as they had a relationship with the ghost captain, It means curse and danger, rather than saying that they alienate the city-state, it is better to say that the city-state is actively avoiding them.”

Fan Na frowned and looked at her uncle: “Then do you expect them to help Prand against them? Father?”

“It’s just an idea, but it’s worth a try,” Dante was actually serious, “After all, we all know that the Star of the Star and the Sea Mist parted ways with the Lost Home more than a century ago, Lucrece Ya and Tirian broke up with their father before the incident on the thirteen islands of Vitherland. More than half a century ago, there were rumors that some ocean-going captains saw the phantom of the Sea Fog and the Lost Home in the northern seas. Engagement—At that time, the Lost Country had become a legendary ghost ship, which may explain the attitude of the two captains when facing their ‘father’.” “More than half a century ago… At that time, the Sea Mist was

still The chief flagship under the Frost Queen, that Captain Tirian may just be ordered to protect the city-state,” Fanna said slowly while thinking, “but you are right, at least this is enough to prove that the Seamist and the Lost Homeland really have A record of confrontation.”

But she still had some doubts, and after thinking for a few seconds, she expressed her doubts: “What if the Bright Star and Sea Mist ignore Prand?” “So this is just an attempt

. ’” said Dante quietly, “I’ll spread the word and find a way to get to the table of those two captains that the Lost Country came alive and sailed to Purland—that’s all I’ll do, and then How the two captains react is up to them.”
