Deep Sea Embers

The Lost ship left in such a grand manner, just as it came with an unstoppable attitude.

Fanna watched the giant ship that could almost be described as "magnificent" sailing majestically in the center of the city-state of Pland. She watched its illusory hull pass over the rows of rooftops and towers in the city-state. The hull of the ship in its spiritual state was like A long way away

It gradually disappeared from her sight like a phantom, and as the Lost Home went away, the spiritual fires burning throughout the city-state of Pland also began to gradually extinguish and retreat, as if it had completed some mission. nothingness.

There was only a clear sky left, a city-state as usual, and all the sentient beings who had just experienced a nightmare.

The rising and falling of beings echoed over the city-state. It was the bell towers of churches in various parts of the city that continued to ring according to their original historical trajectory. However, the bells that were originally used to fight against the invasion of reality now sounded like some kind of farewell. The bells above the cathedral The whistle also sounded, and the sharp and harsh sound startled Vanna.

She felt a breath approaching, turned around, and saw Bishop Valentine coming to her side at some point. The old bishop who had once experienced death was holding a long staff in his hand, looking up at the departure of the Lost Home. direction, and said as if talking to himself: "I feel like I have had a long, long dream..."

"You should know that it was not a dream."

"I mean I just dreamed about twenty bunnies in summer pop dresses dancing around me."

Fanna was stunned for a moment: "Then you are indeed dreaming, maybe in the process of mental recovery... Do you have to tell such a cold joke now?"

"But it can help you wake up quickly and get back to work quickly from the mess in your head," the old bishop said with a blank expression, as if he was not the one who told the cold joke just now. Then he lowered his head and looked at In the direction of the church square, "We have a lot of things to do next. This time, the one that passed by the Lost Home was not the White Oak.

Vanna followed the old bishop's gaze and saw that the guards in the church square and the city-state guards had fallen into some kind of confusion. They looked at the city-state that had returned to normal as if they were awakening from a dream, but their memories were still there. Staying in the battle where historical contamination invaded reality, and some of these people "awakened" earlier and even saw the scene when the Homeless Ship left, which further aggravated the chaos and tension.

Valentine's voice continued to ring next to Vanna: Let the guards restore order first, and then start to adjust the situation.

Check the current situation of the entire city-state, confirm whether everyone has come back, confirm what is missing or added in the city-state, and..."

Valentine paused and looked at the young judge beside him.

"And prepare to report to the Cathedral of Storms - Vanna, the most challenging paperwork in your life is about to come."

Vanna's breathing suddenly hit the room.

A disaster is over, but not everything is over, and when everyone survives... the real investigation seems to have just begun.

The sun is just right.

The solemn and heavy door of the cathedral creaked open, and Heidi came to the church square with a somewhat dazed expression. She looked at the streets as usual under the clear sky, but the previous heavy rain still lingered in her mind. As noted, and the terrifying scene of heavy rain turning into rain of fire.

How did it end?

She only remembered that a ghost ship sailed through the city-state in a sea of ​​fire. Her consciousness was somewhere between the present and the present.

Floating in the dimension between reality and illusion, two completely opposite histories intersect in the field of vision, and the voyage of the ghost ship

The road was divided into two, with one section settling into reality and the other being crushed into dust.

There was a slight burning sensation in her chest. Heidi lowered her head and saw that the "gift" pendant that her father had brought back from the antique shop was glowing slightly. She reached out to touch it, but the moment she touched it, the pendant There was a slight cracking sound, and then it seemed to have exhausted its power and turned into flying dust silently, and the ropes connecting the pendant were all reduced to ashes.

Kelp was stunned for a moment, but soon, there was a lot of noise everywhere in the square.

The voice interrupted her daze.

The guards were restoring order, and the garrison troops from the city hall also began to roll their names and return to the team under the command of the commanders at all levels. Some priests who assisted in restoring order came out of the church and conveyed messages from Bishop Valentine and Vanna. The judge's order, at the same time, some people were also talking about the silhouette of the ghost ship that just disappeared.

"...As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that thing floating over my head, as if it was sailing in transparent water...

"It looked so scary! Those flames were just grazing the spire of the cathedral! But it seemed to just go away..."

"That is the Lost Home Number. There is no doubt that you don't believe it. It is definitely the Lost Home Number!

There was a loud voice shouting in the square, and he vowed that the ghost ship that just passed through the city-state was the legendary Taoshang Natural Disaster Homeless Ship. Heidi looked in the direction of the voice and saw the voice. It was an old, gray-haired captain—she and the captain had been dealing with each other every day and were very familiar with her.

"Captain Lawrence," Heidi walked over and greeted the old captain who was talking to a few refugee civilians, "Are you okay?"

"Me? I'm very fine, although I can't figure out what happened." The old captain saw Heidi and smiled on his face. "It's a good thing to see you safe and sound, Miss Doctor - that was another problem before. It’s so scary when the rain is on fire again!”

Heidi responded casually, and then asked: "Did you say that the one that left just now was the Lost Number?

"Yeah, that's for sure," Lawrence nodded immediately, "I'm so familiar with it! I've seen this scene before!"

There was a citizen next to him who had taken refuge in the cathedral and was still a little frightened at the moment. He couldn't help but say:

"Have you seen it?"

"Yes, why do you think I have been isolated in the cathedral for so long?" Lawrence stared, then turned to Heidi, "I know you can talk to the church's upper echelons, let me give you a suggestion Ah, good to look back

It's a good idea to check what's missing in the city-state. When the Homeless Ship passes by, it usually takes something with it. I have experience! "

Heidi listened indifferently and nodded indifferently. After a while, some memories that happened not long ago but seemed like a lifetime ago suddenly appeared in her mind.

How's it going on my father's side?

Morris didn't feel very good. He was dizzy and his stomach was churning. It was as if he had drunk a very strong drink and wanted to vomit, but he didn't dare to vomit.

Because he felt that the mops and buckets in front of him were staring at him eagerly, and Miss Alice next to him was also staring at him silently.

If he really vomits on the deck, he may get beaten - on this ship, any rope is older than himself, and they probably don't have the concept of respecting the elderly.

He felt that he was probably seasick, or possibly pigeon-sick.

Morris raised his head and saw the pigeon named "Ai Yin" arrogantly patrolling the deck to inspect the mountains of French fries. The pigeon had previously transformed into a terrifying giant skeletal bird and was in antiques. When there was a sudden fire and rain outside the store, I was brought to this ghost ship, and now it has turned into that seemingly harmless appearance, walking back and forth among the piles of French fries.

The girl named Shirley is sitting not far away, and there is a ghost hound staying with her. This seems to be a combination of the summoner and the ghost demon, but the two of them are more honest than the other at the moment - Shirley As if she were a well-bred lady, she sat upright, not daring to breathe, and the deep devil she called "Agou" even found a newspaper from nowhere and sat upright. On the barrel next to Shirley, she was holding the newspaper with her paws and pretending to read it - but she obviously couldn't read. The newspapers were held upside down.

And further away, you can see the towering masts, the sails of the spirit body that are as transparent and illusory as gauze curtains, the vast sea, and the city-state of Fanland, which is getting farther and farther away.

Recalling everything he had witnessed and experienced when he followed this ship as it sailed through the city-state, Morris still felt that his heart was

The experience of looking down at the burning land after being turned into a spirit body by the ghost flames was really exciting. If he had put it many years ago, he might have thought it was a tense and interesting adventure, but now he Not being a young man anymore, that experience might be a bit... too exciting for him.

Morris took a gentle breath, feeling that the thoughts in his head were chaotic. He was thinking about whether he still had a chance to go back, and he was also worried about the situation with his family.

And then a voice suddenly came from the opposite side, it was the Deep Hound - Morris knew what the Deep Hound was, but he never thought that a Deep Hound could be as sensible and polite as the one in front of him: "Old, old, old Mr. "Do you think I... look like... a well-educated... civilized dog... a dog?"

"Um... Frankly speaking, I don't think a dog needs to show his upbringing by reading newspapers, but you are a deep demon, and the standard of evaluation cannot be based on human dogs... Anyway, he is the smartest dog in the human world. You can't learn to sit in a barrel and read a newspaper." Morris was stunned for a moment and answered the other party's question with a strange expression. "There are two other things. First, you have the newspaper on your paws upside down. Second, you have to hold the newspaper upside down. …Are you stuttering a little?”

Agou was startled, and quickly turned the newspaper over on his paw, while answering: "I, I...I don't stutter, Jane, I am...yes, yes...a little nervous about voting.

"Agou, I don't think you need to be so nervous," Shirley suddenly whispered, "and what newspaper are you reading - Mr. Duncan already knows that we are both illiterate."

As soon as she finished speaking, before Agou could speak, Alice, who was in a daze beside her, suddenly raised her hand, "Me too!"

Shirley looked surprised, while Morris lowered his head silently and rubbed his forehead.

The old scholar feels that he has reached a place that is too outrageous...·What is this all about?
