Deep Sea Embers Chapter 284: Day of embarkation

There is a high platform near the cathedral in the upper city, which used to be part of the city park, but with the reconstruction of the steam core, the original park facilities were moved to other places, and there is only a solitary high platform left here- -Like a forgotten knight, standing on high and watching the factory area and square below.

On the high platform, you can overlook the entire church area and the central factory area.

When she is free occasionally, Fan Na will come here to relax, and when her mind is hard to calm down, she will also come here to think quietly to sort out her mood.

The afternoon sun is very good, even if there is a slight breeze, the high platform is not very cold. When the gentle sea breeze blows across the platform, the hair around the ears will be rolled up, which is a little itchy.

Fan Na threw her long white hair behind her head, quietly staring at the winding and misty steam pipe in her vision, and broke the silence after a long time: "I'm going out for a while."

"Going out?" Heidi turned her head in surprise, "Where are you going?"

"I'm not sure, it may be far away, and I may be away for a long time," Fan Na looked into Heidi's eyes, "I can't disclose the specific itinerary, but I should tell you before I leave."

Heidi blinked, looking a little confused: "But you are the city-state judge——can the judge travel far away?"

"I..." Fan Na opened her mouth, trying her best to make her expression look like a smile, "It's the church's arrangement, a direct order from the Cathedral of Storms."

"Ah...so that's how it is," Heidi nodded suddenly. I actually don't know much about the internal operating rules of the Church of the Deep Sea, but when the name "Cathedral of Storms" was brought up, There is no need to explain many things, "So it seems that this is a sacred mission? Are you sent to fight against heresy outside the diocese?"

After a while, she heard Fan Na's voice again: "My rest time is almost finished, and there are two patients who have an appointment in the afternoon."

The messenger is here. Fan Na only felt that she was in a trance for a moment, and then a moist and cold sea breeze blew in her face, and the sound of rushing waves came from her ears.

But there is not enough time, I don't have so much extra.

"...No, this is a normal task."

Fan Na gave a hum, but she stopped suddenly before leaving the high platform. She turned her head, and in the afternoon sun and breeze, there was a little hesitation on her face: "When I set off, you Can you send me off?"

Fan Na exhaled lightly: "You go and get busy, I should also get ready to go."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your letter," Fanna suddenly showed a happy smile on her face,

Then she suddenly stepped forward, pulled out the crystal pendant from her collar and dangled it in the air, then pointed to Heidi's chest, "The same amulet—you will have good luck."

This is something that can be read dangerously in the boundless sea, and may relieve the boredom of life on a ship.

"The work of the great director Sanduoko, called "Frontier Horror", tells the story of a small border village falling into heresy worship, and sacrifices the women in the village to the "cave evil spirits", and finally the powerful guardians wipe out the evil It is said that this drama also uses a new technology called "sound track, when the screen is played, there are synchronized sounds from the machines on both sides of the screen..."

She looked at Fan Na, her long white hair was blown by the breeze, and in the turmoil of the fluttering hair, it seemed as if there was a fluttering curtain between herself and her friend.

Follow the instructions on the job entry instructions. A courier will pick you up in one hour. You should wait in the atrium of the cathedral before that. The whole handover process will not be disturbed by relevant people.

"...Good luck," she murmured softly, her expression becoming a little weird, "I hope the antique store manager's things can really bring some good luck."

I think there might be something wrong with the teleportation.

Fan Na had huge doubts in her heart, but she still took steps and walked towards the cathedral.

What kind of messenger would this be? How will I be sent to the Lost Homeland far away in the boundless sea?

A loud bell suddenly came from the direction of the church, interrupting Heidi's thoughts

Thread.

Fan Na scratched her hair, trying to search her mind: "Then let me recommend this book to you. The latest one is called "Walking with Shadows", which is about..."

Fan Na finally couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted her friend's chattering with almost livid face: "I thank you, but I really don't need it."

Heidi enthusiastically introduced the "new elements that are popular nowadays" to her friends, but found that Fan Na's face became more and more weird. She hesitated and stopped halfway through her speech. Then she thought for a while and waved her hand: "Well, you may hate that, and there is another drama called "Night Watch", which talks about a powerful guardian stepping into a secret realm, but accidentally trapped in a heretic lair, and has to rely on his own wisdom and experience Survive in the lair, and find a way to stick to your heart... Are you disgusted too?"

"That's not true, I'm probably just a little nervous because I was suddenly assigned a task I've never touched before." Fan Na shook her head, "Don't worry about me."

Besides this big sword that never leaves her body, there is only one packed suitcase—her personal belongings are not many, and apart from the necessary change of clothes, the most important thing in the suitcase is her Prayer books, and some blessed ecclesiastical readings.

She raised her head and looked in the direction where the bell was ringing, and saw that the huge dial on the big clock tower was indicating the time, and the brilliance of the sun had gradually passed the highest point in the sky, slowly heading towards the west side of the cathedral. move.

What kind of strange appearance will the crew on this ship look like?

"...Then let me look forward to the next 'crew life,'" Fan Na sighed, "I can't imagine what kind of life this will be."

Heidi waved her hand. Or something is wrong with your eyes.

She took out the parchment, and looked at the text on the back of the parchment—that's your "Job Instructions".

Because she saw... Maurice standing in front of her, smiling right in front of her.

On the high platform in the wind, only Heidi was left.

Fan Na turned her head and looked at her friend with some doubts: "Why do I feel that you are weird and preoccupied? Is it because you are a little uneasy about going far away? You really don't seem to have left the city-state much."

Fan Na looked at the things in her hand.

Fan Na hesitated for a moment. She took a deep breath and stepped through the revolving door of flames, thoughts racing through her mind at this moment.

Heidi opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but at this moment, a crackle of flames and the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from the sky, interrupting the communication in the atrium.

"Of course not," Helena smiled, "Captain Duncan even promised that he could furnish an extra cabin as a cathedral."

"Will he write back?"

"Okay then," Fan Na breathed out, then seemed to suddenly recall something, and suggested with a little excitement, "By the way, what if we go to the theater together? There is a new drama recently, so just treat it as a change." Mood - you should get in touch with the popular things nowadays, maybe you can expand your social circle

"It's time to go." Pope Helena's voice came from the side, reminding and urging. Heidi raised her head in surprise, but only had time to see a green flame falling from the sky like a meteor. A huge bone wing suddenly opened in the flame. The next second, the flame "falls" on the path of the atrium. It turned into a rotating door.

She blinked and patted her forehead hard.

"Ah, well, this is because I didn't think carefully," Vanna smiled a little embarrassedly, "I forgot that you are a 'professional,'."

"Mr. Morris has gone out too," Fanna muttered casually, but quickly shook her head with a self-deprecating expression on her face, "You should be going to meet your friends in the academic world Well, or participate in some activities, scholars like you are often invited by various city-state universities...

Anyway, it's not the same as where I'm going. "

I still have many plans. Before leaving this city-state where I was born and raised, I still want to go to the shops I am most familiar with.

Go to the theater, go to the port again, and meet some friends again, go to the church to say a prayer.....

What will be the scene behind the door? What kind of life awaits you on this ship? Will you be the first to see this terrifying ghost captain? Or some... sailor on the Lost Home?

Heidi didn't care about what her friend said in the last two sentences at all, she just raised her eyebrows curiously: "New drama? What are you talking about?"

The flame burst into flames, and then faded away, and it only took a moment to step through the gate.

"The messenger hasn't arrived yet," Valentine nodded to Fanna who walked into the atrium, "Are you ready?"

Then he seemed to realize that his attitude was a bit blunt, he couldn't help but sighed slightly, and explained in a low voice while rubbing his forehead with his fingers: "Thank you for your concern, but the task I'm going to perform next requires firm will and pure determination. Thinking, it is best not to touch too many things that easily disturb the mind before departure.”

My friend is gone~ IndoMTL.com~ is here," Heidi nodded, then looked up at the silent pope, "I can still pray on the boat, right?"

"...I don't know," Fanna said in a low voice, "but I will... work hard, maybe, it's not so strict here.

In the atrium of the cathedral, Pope Helena and Archbishop Valentine haven't waited for him for a long time.

The young judge lowered his head and looked at the small pendant on his chest.

Fan Na didn't notice the subtle change in her friend's tone, she just sighed suddenly: "Hey, my father has also traveled far away recently, without any warning, he suddenly told me that he was going out for business, and my mother wouldn't let me." Let me ask more—now that you are leaving too, I feel that you are all mysterious."

"Yeah." Fan Na nodded lightly, at this moment she let go of the last bit of hesitation in her heart, and stepped forward.

Heidi's expression seemed to stiffen: In a sense, it does have something to do with heresy, but it's not a combat mission. "
