Deep Sea Embers

Tirian felt like he was surrounded by darkness. In the darkness, his senses rose and fell, as if being pulled by invisible forces, traveling through some dimension between reality and illusion.

He tried to open his eyes several times, but he could only see a faint green light and the shadows flowing rapidly in the darkness. After a long time, Chu Qiang recognized it as a view overlooking the city.

Something seemed to have carried me up to the sky?

Only this thought came to his mind, and he lost consciousness again.

And when he could feel his body again, he had been sent to a safe place - the light on his body was too bright, like a high-quality electric lamp used for lighting in a warehouse, and a vague figure sat Next to him, he seemed to be lowering his head curiously.

Tirian finally regained consciousness.

But he did not open his eyes immediately, but continued to pretend to be comatose, while carefully sensing the surrounding environment, trying to confirm where he was from the dryness and moisture in the air, the slight sounds next to his ears, and the slightly removed clothes. What kind of situation.

But he had time to hear a slight sound of carriages and horses. As soon as he confirmed that he might be on the street front of a certain block, he heard the very familiar voice that he had heard before comatose and that was very familiar in his memory suddenly sounded next to him: " You're awake and your eyelids are moving."

Tirian was shocked, knowing that he could no longer hide, so he could only open his eyes without any contact.

Then, he felt stiff all over, and I was a little shocked by the person I saw in front of him.

"You said, your name is Ye Xuecui," the silver-haired man on the chair said with a smile, "Ah, he must have said that your hair was a little disguised, because the captain said that your appearance might cause trouble in the city-state. Trouble occurred."

"Papa papa pa-"

However, what he saw was just a warehouse full of shelves and wooden boxes - the shelves at random heights were filled with quaint things whose specific age and origin could not be seen, and the old wooden boxes were piled slightly haphazardly against the wall. There are no windows in the field of vision, and of course the situation inside cannot be seen. The only door is behind the chair where the "male king" is sitting.

"Ye Xuecui is a friendly little doll, not as scary as the world thinks - at least around him," Hanshuang said casually, "And you, I thought he would mention Duncan King first, after all, according to what I know You know, the days he has been loyal to this male king are even longer than the days he spent in the lost fleet."

However, after the initial shock and excitement, the big pirate who calmed down immediately had no doubts. He thought of the following.

The blond man I saw before and what he said to me. He frowned immediately: "You are not Her Majesty Le Nora, who are you?"

"...Shouldn't we applaud?" Alice shrank her neck and looked at the captain in the mirror cautiously, "Doesn't he think the captain is right..."

His movements fell into Hanshuang's eyes.

Tirian's eyes retracted, and finally fell on "Duncan the King".

Tirian subconsciously rolled his eyelids slightly, as if he didn't want to avoid direct contact with his father in this way.

At the same time, he asked in a deep voice: "Then why didn't you do that?"

“…I still can’t fully believe in your ‘humanity’

Hanshuang was silent for a few seconds before speaking in a high voice: "Do you know what my plan is to end them one by one?"

The waist-length "Duncan King" with silver hair was sitting on the chair next to him, looking at Tirian who was lying on the ground with a calm and indifferent expression. The latter was stunned for several seconds before he suddenly reacted, and then Stand up suddenly.

Tyrion couldn't help but have a strange expression when he heard his father mention the name of the Storm God, but soon his attention was drawn to Alice, who had exactly the same appearance as King Duncan. After a slight frown and thought, He suddenly remembered something, and his expression suddenly changed: "The Explorers Association previously issued a warning to all captains on the Infinite Sea, mentioning that normal 023 lost control. Tirian gradually reacted, and he watched the figure in the mirror warily:"

Do you want to know information about Her Majesty Leigh Nora from me? "

Frost stared at Tirian calmly.

"Are you resistant and don't want to mention it?"

This seems to be just a warehouse, and there is no way to tell where it is located in the city-state.

A sudden headache almost made Tirian lie down again, but the pain also stimulated his spirit, allowing him to finally get rid of the last trace of dizziness after coma. He first confirmed that he was indeed not confused, and then raised his head. He looked around, trying to confirm where this place was.

He doubted that everything his father said was true, doubted that his father could do this, and knew that he would definitely be fooled - even if he could detect a violation in some details, he would definitely be tricked out of a lot of information before that!

Then he paused and added: "I don't want to use this 'farce' to respect the monarch he once served - although he is no stranger to you, but judging from the 'one-time relationship', Leigh Nora should be a person worthy of admiration.”

Unbelievably useless.

Upon hearing the captain's righteous reply, Alice next to her immediately applauded - even though you basically didn't understand what the captain was saying.

"...Yes, we met again," Tirian said hesitantly. Although he had met once before, the feeling of talking to his shrewd and rational father again made him feel particularly awkward. "Why do you use this method?" How? Would he mind contacting me in the cathedral?"

It must be said that when the other party mentioned "appearance" for the first time, Tirian was just a little confused. When he heard the name again, the only thing that came to his mind immediately was a huge sense of alert and crisis, because he He also confirmed that this was not a good joke, nor was it a ridiculous trap planned by a captain who had a grudge against him. Behind all of this, there might really be his terrible father.

He saw Leigh Nora, the male king of Duncan—the same one as he remembered, not the blond man with a significantly different hair color later.

"Relax," the voice in the mirror said, "Normal 023 is under control now."

Why else? Because Alice can't memorize such a long word, she can't act in such a long play, and the other party will scare her even a little bit.

I will be scared to death. Once I forget the words, I will ask for help without any suspense... one paragraph per second.

The next second, faint green flames rose from the edge of the mirror. Tirian seemed to hear an illusory crackling sound reaching his ears. Then, he saw the mirror suddenly turn white, and a strange and majestic figure appeared. Gradually emerged from the darkness.

A burst of fatigue came over his heart, and he sighed: "...it would be nice if he wasn't depressed."

"What are your plans once this is over?"

Obviously, as one of the most experienced captains in the Infinite Sea, and also paying close attention to the intelligence related to King Duncan, Tirian is quite sure of the characteristics of normal 023.

Again he spoke of the captain.

Because even just now, after seeing "Blonde Alice" in Delay, and knowing that the person in front of him might be Leigh Nora, he almost thought that the person opposite him was King Duncan resurrected from the dead!

At the same time, Tirian suddenly realized a certain detail in his father's words just now, and he was deeply shocked;

Tirian immediately glanced at Ye Xueqin, who was standing next to him with a look of harm to others and animals. It was as if he had just noticed the inhuman qualities hidden in the other person's too delicate and perfect face, and the fact that these things on the other person's body were obviously used to cover up. The ornaments of joints, the next second, his hand subconsciously touched Kuzi.

Tirian stood up slowly, and while looking at the silver-haired man opposite who called himself "Ye Xuecui" with a policeman's hat, he said in a deep voice: Is it really you? "

"Tirion, we meet again." Hanshuang's voice came from the mirror.

"You can't reminisce about the past in the cathedral, but it's not suitable to talk about some more private things - there are some things that he didn't intend for Gemona to listen to," Hanshuang said unhurriedly, while his eyes glanced at Aili beside him. "Si," he looked up and saw Alice. He should have a lot to ask now.

Tirian suddenly felt a chill on his back.

"you

Have you met Her Majesty Leigh Nora? ! "Let Alice directly disguise herself as Duncan's male queen Leigh Nora, pretend to be resurrected from the dead, perform a ghost projection scene, or even directly intervene in his dreams - this is very difficult for him," Ye Xue looked into Tirian's eyes, "I can't guarantee that he will be able to distinguish the truth from the false and be guided to tell many things, and you can easily get the information I want in that way."

Then Ye Xue and Tirian looked at the doll with strange eyes.

"Of course it's because I don't want to use bullying to get along with my son - even if he hasn't forgotten many things." Hanshuang's expression was solemn and his voice was high.

"As you can see," Hanshuang smiled, "I am right in front of you."

"Yes, I looked for him first." Alice got up from the chair and slowly came to an antique mirror next to her. "Captain, he's awake."

"...The doll in the container is awake and moving freely inside, and you call it 'controlled'" Tirian said to Ye Xue while wary of Alice's movements, and at the same time felt a chill on his neck, "How did you do that?" You did it so that the "normal" numbered so low can be used by you, and even suppressed his decapitation instinct? "
