Chapter 529 The Reunited Person

pendant?

Heidi was stunned when she heard the subspace shadow in front of her, and then she looked down at the "Amethyst" pendant on her chest from a certain glass workshop. In the next second, about this pendant All the things come to my mind——

The weird antique store manager, the pendant his father brought back from the antique store, the incredible protection in the Black Sun incident, the second pendant, Fan Na's futile investigation of that antique store, and... at this moment Duncan Abu Normar's Appearance and Words...

The psychiatrist finally opened her eyes gradually, and her crazy guess gradually turned into a solid fact. She suddenly felt...she seemed to need some psychological help.

"Relax, and control your eyes by the way, don't look at things you shouldn't look at randomly," Duncan smiled, and said to Heidi unhurriedly, "Your father specially asked me to remind you of this sentence."

Heidi felt the buzzing in her mind, and she couldn't tell whether it was the noise caused by mild mental pollution or the auditory hallucination caused by pure nervousness. She held her forehead and finally managed to control her reason and impulse, but still Feeling sluggish and intermittent: "My father...he is now..."

"He's serving as a consultant on the Lost Homeland—he was afraid that you might be worried, so he didn't tell you all the time, but we didn't expect that you would be muddle-headedly involved in the incident."

"Is he okay?! He's on your boat..." Heidi asked subconsciously, but when she looked at the majestic "captain" in front of her, she suddenly hesitated at the end of her voice, always feeling that she didn't care about herself No matter how you ask, it seems offensive and reckless at the moment.

Duncan didn't care about this, but just replied casually: "He is very good, maintains the healthiest schedule in the team, and plays a huge role on the boat-what else do you want to know?"

Heidi opened her mouth and reorganized the vocabulary in her mind for a long time before suddenly thinking of another thing, something that happened almost at the same time as her father left the house, and now she thinks about it. But she still couldn't help asking: "Then... Fanna is also with you..."

Duncan didn't answer directly, but confirmed her guess from the side: "Want to meet them?"

Heidi was stunned for a moment, she didn't know how to answer this simple question for a while, she woke up suddenly after two or three seconds, and then her first reaction was to put away a lot of her terrifying personality clones , and at the same time hurriedly said: "Is it okay? Do you really allow it? Oh, sorry, I don't mean anything else, but I have heard a lot about you... I should..."

Her flustered words suddenly stopped.

Because accompanied by a rotating dark green flame door, two very familiar figures had appeared in front of her——

Morris had a smile on his face, while Fan Na's expression was a little embarrassed.

"So what... Long time no see," Fanna came to Heidi, touched the tip of her nose and said hello, "I'm sorry I kept it from you for a long time, the new position is a bit sensitive, mainly because there are confidentiality requirements, and this time I am also the captain. Only if you allow it... Are you angry?"

Heidi didn't answer, she just stared at her long-time friend in front of her, then stared at Morris who was aside, and finally said after holding back for a long time: "Can any of you explain it to me in detail, now this What is the situation?!"

"Talk slowly," Duncan saw that they had begun to communicate, and immediately waved his hands with insight, then turned his head and walked away, "I'll chat with Lucy."

Leaving two "crew" and one Heidi staring at the spot, full of embarrassment.

Duncan didn't pay attention to the subtle resentment atmosphere between Fanna and Morris behind him. He had already come to Lucrecia very calmly, but saw the "Sea Witch" looking away with a rather embarrassed expression.

Lucrezia has been brainstorming for a long time - after her father suddenly entered this dream, she has been in a state of confusion, just now when her father went to communicate with the "psychiatrist" At that time, she was trying to think about how to communicate with this "relative" whom she hadn't seen for a long time, how to adjust her mentality like Tirian, and...

How should I explain the incident with the scythe just now.

However, when her father really walked this way, she realized that she was not prepared for anything—the "witch" who frightened many people in the boundless sea was actually not very good at dealing with such emotional emergencies. On the contrary, because of the wild thinking for a while, he became even more at a loss at this moment.

Lucrecia opened her mouth: "I..."

"No hurry," Duncan waved his hand suddenly and interrupted Lucrezia's words, then turned around and looked at Heidi and the other three not far away, "Let's see."

Lucrezia: "...?"

She was a little dazed for a while, not knowing what her father meant by "see first", and even subconsciously thought about "planning" and "layout" in completely irrelevant directions, but the next second, she realized The familiar but long-lost figure beside him was just looking not far away, with a humanized expression on his face, that's all.

The "Sea Witch" hesitated for a moment, and then looked in that direction. A strange feeling came to her heart. She didn't know how to describe this weird and awkward unfolding—this was similar to what she had imagined in the past many years. The scene of the reunion with the father is different.

She imagined that one day in the future, the immortal self might also encounter the Lost Homeland returning from the subspace like Tirian did. She imagined that there might be a tragic battle between the Bright Star and the Lost Homeland. Confrontation, the evil spirit from the warp will destroy all the traitors, just like he destroyed the thirteen islands of Veseland at the border...

And in some milder dreams, in some fantasies that have nothing to do with reason, she actually imagined another scene——

Father would really come back, it might be a quiet afternoon, or in the afterglow before dusk, they might stand on the sea cliff, just like the place she had been to when she was a child-she couldn't remember exactly Which city-state only remembers that there is a gentle sea breeze and white flowers everywhere - she and her family will stand on the tallest big rock, and her father will tell her about the things that happened in the distance, and she will show off herself The Brilliant Star, as well as all his laboratories and collections...

But those broken dreams finally melted in the sun, like sighs melted in the wind.

She never thought that when the day of reunion really came, it would be like this - she and her father stood in this never-ending dream, together...

Watch people gossip.

But gradually, Lucrecia seemed to understand her father's intentions.

She also looked in that direction, looked at the lady psychiatrist and her relatives and friends, there was also a daughter who was full of worries, a father who tried to explain everything in embarrassment, and a friend who was at a loss .

Perhaps, this is what my father wanted me to "see the meeting first".

Lucrecia thought she understood.

Then she heard Duncan breaking the silence from the side: "Actually, I persuaded Morris to find a chance to talk to Heidi at the beginning, but we didn't find the chance-but it's also very good, if he had Now that it’s clear, I don’t have to watch it.”

Lucrezia felt that she knew it too early.

In a brief daze, she suddenly remembered a sentence that the other party said when she was in contact with Tirian——

The father has his humanity back.

But it seems to find too much.

At that time, she still couldn't understand the meaning of her brother's words, but now she vaguely understood that this being who returned from the subspace might be her father, but it wasn't all of it anymore.

"Lucy, what do you think?"

Duncan's voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting the wild thoughts in Lucrezia's mind. She woke up suddenly, and looked at her father who was casting a questioning look at her.

The complicated thoughts in his mind quickly calmed down, and the long-term memories and the dislocation of the scene in front of him were left behind. The "Sea Witch" suddenly felt that those chaotic problems seemed to be not a problem.

After all, life is not academic research, and not all questions must have an answer.

"Miss Heidi will take care of all the problems. Although I don't have much contact with her, I know she is a sensible person. Don't worry about Mr. Morris. He is your approved consultant..."

"Oh, I'm not talking about a few of them, I'm talking about this 'place'," Duncan waved his hand, pointing to the forest that has fallen into "twilight" but still shows no sign of collapse and disintegration, "This should be a dream Right? But it looks a little weird, and it's not the same as the dreams I've seen..."

Lucrezia was a little uncomfortable for a while, her father seemed to be thinking very jumpy now, which was very different from the person in her memory, but she quickly realized that while quickly sorting out her thoughts, she turned her attention from Moving away from the gossip in the distance, he opened his mouth in thought: "The 'entrance' of this dream is the scholar Taran El, that is, the mental entity that is in a stagnant state over there. His 'self' has not yet awakened. The reason for this is..."

Lucrezia told Duncan the information she had as concisely as possible, and the latter showed a thoughtful expression after listening carefully.

"...In other words, this forest is just a barrier covering the 'surface' of the dream, and the true appearance of the dream is hidden in a deeper place—but it is not the man named Taran Ai who is leading all this. not the elves of Er, but the 'third dreamer'."

"The third one, but it doesn't rule out that there will be a fourth or fifth one," Lucrezia said with a serious face, "Heidi's experience shows that this dream is 'connected' with other places, so it There may be more dreamers connected, but all of these are hidden, and the 'self-healing' and 'hiding' abilities of this forest... are far beyond our imagination."

Duncan didn't speak, he frowned and fell into thought.

And at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the "Grand Scholar of Taran El" not far away blinking his eyes suddenly.
