Deep Sea Embers Chapter 83: The ghost is also entangled with reality

Uncle brought the soothing herbal wine. The power of the medicine and alcohol finally calmed down Fanna's slightly irritable mood. She opened the door to the balcony and stood on the balcony, blowing the wind and looking into the distance. Directions to the Cathedral.

Dante Wayne's voice came from behind her: "You have nightmares every time you come back to live, and it's always about your childhood."

"...As a judge, this is an undeserved sign of weakness," Fanna said in a low voice, she was a head taller than her uncle, but in this man who raised her by each other In front of her elders, she doesn't mind showing her true side, "I'm very distressed."

"...Have you talked to Heidi?"

"She recommended four brain surgeries and two nerve puncture treatments to me," Fanna sighed, "I didn't do it considering the years of friendship."

"...It's her style, she doesn't deal with normal people very much," Dante Wayne shook his head, "Actually, I didn't expect you to be trapped by that night's nightmare after so many years. "

"I always thought I had come out," Fanna rubbed her brows. "Maybe it really has something to do with this big house. As long as I come back here, I will dream of the scene at that time... Maybe I It's time to consider holding another exorcism ceremony for this house, otherwise I always feel that the shadow of the disaster that year was sealed in this building..."

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

Fanna nodded: "Yes, there are fires everywhere, you escaped from the fire with your back on your back, I even clearly remember that we escaped from the city through the pipeline of the factory, and there was a burning building nearby that was on fire. gradually collapsed..."

Speaking of this, she stopped and her eyes fell on her uncle: "...you don't remember this fire, do you?"

"It's not just me who doesn't remember, everyone doesn't remember," the serious-looking city-state consul slowly shook his head, "I only remember the gas leaking pipeline and those mad cultists...that night There are many parties involved, but it seems that only you have seen the raging fire."

Fanna didn't speak for a while, she just thought silently for an unknown amount of time before she suddenly said softly: "Except for the 'fire' incident, my memory and yours are consistent... I didn't know anything at that time. I understand, but now I know very well that it must be some kind of supernatural power exerting influence, and after all these years, I have been promoted to become a saint, and this influence has not dissipated."

"This means that either the influence is so high-ranking that it leaves an immortal imprint on your soul, or the source of the influence did not disappear as the event subsided, but continued Hidden somewhere in the city-state - I've been investigating this for years, but unfortunately, nothing has come of it so far."

Dante Wayne's tone carried a hint of apology at the end. He was not only sorry for not being able to solve his niece's distress, but also because he, as a city-state consul, couldn't investigate an old case. .

The "great chaos" eleven years ago left a scar that was far too long.

Fana knew that this matter was not just her own heart, but also her uncle's heart disease, but she was not good at comforting others. After thinking about it for a long time, she could only divert the topic: "I remember when I caught Many cultists, in the aftermath of the reckoning, that incident was even bigger than the 'Black Sun' incident four years ago."

"Yeah, thousands of people were arrested, so much that I wonder how so many cultists could hide in the city-state of Prand," Dante Wayne sighed, "and more than that. A sect... There are solar heretics who follow the Black Sun, there are Oblivion cultists who worship the Lord of the Deep, and even the Evangelist of the End who worships the warp itself... The maggots in the gutter all came out that night, nervous Destroyed everywhere."

Fanna 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, not so much It was those cultists who organized to do the destruction, it is better to say that they were just detonated to the madness deep in their minds at the same time, and fell into a state of collective loss of control."

Dante didn't speak for a while, he thought silently, and then suddenly looked into Fanna's eyes: "The reason for your irritability is not just because of that nightmare - suddenly mentioning these things, and the recent city-state Unsettled situation?"

Fanna didn't shy away from this question: "There is a certain connection - the sun heresy is gathering in the city-state, they are looking for an 'anomaly' called the sun shard, and the Homeless reappears in the real world at about the same time , its 'heading' vaguely points to Prand, although it is hard to say that these two things are related, 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 have communicated with the consuls of other city-states. Many sun heretics have been caught on the ship, and their way into the city-state is basically cut off. , as for those that have flowed into Prand... mainly depends on the actions of the church, the guardians are professionals who seek and target extraordinary crimes."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged consul suddenly stopped, as if he was carefully considering whether some things should be brought up now, but after a moment of hesitation, he made up his mind: "As for the matter of Homeless, I can't help much in the supernatural, but in the mundane, I have an idea."

"The mundane aspect?" Fanna frowned. She was just about to say what the connection between the ghost ship of the Homeless and the "worldly" came to her mind, "Wait, you are Say..."

"The captain of the pioneering exploration ship Bright Star, Lucrecia Abnomar, and the leader of the pirates in the northern seas, Tirian Abnomar, the captain of the Sea Mist," Dante was not nervous. He said slowly, "It is true that the Lost Homeland 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 point' where it once existed... No Know how Captain Duncan's sons and daughters will react to the reappearance of their 'father'."

Fanna slowly opened her eyes. She was used to using simple and rude methods to directly deal with the enemy, but she never thought about the Homeless from this angle, but soon she frowned: "But I heard that those two people hardly deal with the city-state forces... They have their own power on the boundless sea and maintain a cold or even tense relationship with all the city-states~IndoMTL.com~ This is normal, after all, they are The children of the ghost captain, the Bright Star and the Sea Mist are the two escorts of the Homeless. Although they parted ways a hundred years ago, in the eyes of most city-states, as long as they have a relationship with the ghost captain. Those who have been in a relationship mean curse and danger, not so much that they are alienating the city-state, but rather that the city-state is actively avoiding them.”

Fanna frowned and looked at her uncle: "Then do you expect them to come to help Prand against their father?"

"Just an idea, but worth a try," Dante said seriously, "after all, we all know that Bright Star and Sea Fog parted ways with Homeless more than a century ago, Lucretia. And Tirian broke with their father before the events of the Thirteen Isles of Veselan, and more than half a century ago, there were rumors that some ocean-going captains had seen the Sea Mist in the northern seas and the phantom of the Lost. ——At that time, the Homeless 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 of the Frost Queen, and that Captain Tirian was probably just under orders to protect the city-state," Fanna said slowly while thinking, "But you That's right, at least it's enough to prove that Sea Fog does have a track record against Homeless."

But she still had some doubts, and after thinking for a few seconds, she said the doubts in her heart: "What if the Bright Star and Sea Fog ignore Pland?"

"So this is just an attempt," Dante said quietly, "I'll spread the news and find a way to get the situation of the Lost home and sailing to Pland on the table of those two captains— —I only do so much, and it's up to the two captains how they react after that."
