The Haiyan came to a stop.

When this terrifying charger stopped, it had almost been reduced to a pile of fragments under the continuous bombardment. The original hull structure had long since disappeared, and there was not even a complete deck or The wreckage of the building, the shredded hull and the internal materials are scattered on the sea like splashing, and the black mud that slowly spreads is floating between the fragmented wreckage, and the remaining flames are burning among these fragments, filthy Thick smoke billowed up.

And on the path where the Haiyan once charged, there are all over the weird mud-like substances-the ominous black outlines a band-shaped trace in the sea water that is more than ten nautical miles long, like some kind of soft body Like the disgusting mucus left by the creature when it crawled ashore, it slowly drifts and undulates with the wind and waves on the sea surface, and lasts for a long time.

The roar of the coastal defense artillery stopped, and the thick smoke filled the entire coastline. Li Si Te fixedly stared at the burning wreckage on the sea in the distance. Breaking the silence: "Is it over?"

"...It might just be the beginning," Agatha's voice was slightly hoarse, and a pale gleam flashed in her eyes from time to time. Observe the scene in the spirit world to confirm whether there are still things moving towards the city-state among the wreckage, "Don't forget, the Haiyan has a problem after returning from Dagger Island."

Liszt's expression became very ugly.

"When was the last message from that island?"

"Just a few hours ago, a telegram said that everything on the island is normal," Liszt frowned, "the church's spiritual communication has always been fine."

"...Block Dagger Island, Mr. Colonel, from now on, don't send any news from this island," Agatha breathed out lightly, "I'm going back to the cathedral now, Confirm that further blockade orders will be issued soon."

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Agatha."

"Everything is for the peace of the city-state," Agatha said softly, reciting a short proverb from the Book of the Dead, "Everything is in order."

"What's that sound?" Morris nervously supported his head, looking at Duncan helplessly, "Is it thunder?"

Duncan had a thoughtful expression on his face. The first thing he thought of was the report letter he handed over to the old guard, and the next thing he thought of was the direction of Dagger Island—— I was really expected by myself?

There were thunderous sounds from far away, one after another, and even louder one after another. Judging from the direction of the sound, it seemed to be far away from the coast on the east side of the city-state.

Duncan raised his head, looked at the sky in the direction of the sound, and vaguely saw clouds rising over there.

The soldiers running around on the port and the black "oil pollution" spreading on the sea surface are reflected in its slightly jumping green fire eyes.

"It sounds like the movement of a giant cannon," Duncan on the other side changed his expression slightly, "Coastal defense artillery?

What happened, why is there a salvo of coastal defense guns...」

Duncan withdrew his "line of sight" looking into the distance, and nodded slightly to Alice and Vanna, "It was an invasion, but it was stopped by the Frostman."

Alice's complexion changed slightly: "Invasion?!

"If I'm not mistaken, it's from Dagger Island—the Frost people should be aware of the seriousness of the problem by now, and it shouldn't be so easy to figure out what's on this island," Duncan said calmly. , "Now Tirian has also come near Dagger Island, and his sea fog fleet will further tense the mood of the Frost authorities—in any case, when the whole city is under martial law, the Annihilation Cultist hiding in the city There will definitely be some action, and it will be much easier to find them at this time."

Alice was stuck for a while, as if she was thinking carefully about whether the words she and Ai knew together surpassed Agou, and at this moment, there were faint roaring sounds coming from afar It finally stopped gradually.

Duncan listened attentively to the sound in the distance.

"The sound stopped...

”

"Don't worry about it for now,"

After such a long period of running-in and adaptation, the connection between him and Fanna is now much closer and clearer than at the beginning. When she is focused enough, she can even share Fanna's vision and some of the others. She perceives, and uses Fan Na as a springboard to transmit part of the power without moving the main body.

Duncan didn't say a word, but through the vague spiritual connection, he perceived the situation that Fanna detected in the distance.

In the eastern port area of ​​Frost, a chubby white pigeon is standing on a tower. One of its round eyes is looking at the smoky sea, and the other is looking at the port.

The sound of flapping wings suddenly sounded, and an inconspicuous fat pigeon flapped its wings and soared into the sky from the shadow of the building next to it, and quickly flew into the distance.

"Don't worry, I asked Fanna to check the situation," Duncan said, then raised his head and looked at the house that seemed to be a little old in front of him, "Let's continue to talk about the situation of this house."

Arranging Alice and Fan Na to solve the problem of where to stay is indeed the right choice-other people on the ship can't handle it.

"This house is No. 44 Oak Street, and next door is Hearth Street. The landlord has another residence on the other side of Hearth Street. He will not bother you on weekdays. There is a small road between the two blocks, and the cathedral is located in two blocks. On the big square between the two, some distance from here, Fanna took out the key from her pocket and opened the gate, followed by Duncan and Morris.

Duncan listened to the old man's careful introduction, and at the same time looked at the temporary accommodation in front of him.

Entering the door is the porch where you take off your shoes and change clothes, and then there is a pretty good living room with slightly yellowish light grain wallpaper on the wall. The dining room is connected to the living room, and another bedroom is located next to the dining room, leading The stairs on the second floor are facing the gate, and it seems that most of the bedrooms are placed on the second floor.

It's not an exquisite residence, but it's more than enough as a temporary place to stay—it's even a little more spacious than the two-storey building in Prand, which also functions as a store and housing.

This is a single-family building with the characteristics of a typical northern city-state. The gray-white exterior wall is slightly smooth and covered with porous mortar with excellent thermal insulation. The house has two floors, with relatively spacious windows, and there are wall lamps next to the black gate and mailbox openings, with high, steep roofs and black tiles to help melt and shed snow, while steam and gas pipes run from thick pipes above the block and into the building along the gables.

Alice on the side immediately coughed twice, and continued the annoying introduction that was interrupted just now—even though the faint roar from the distance still continued, since the captain is so calm, there is obviously nothing to worry about: " This house was selected by Fanna and I from two rental houses - the other three were either too close to the city center for mobility, or the houses themselves were in such poor condition that they were not suitable for living. Although it is a bit old, the landlord has maintained the house very well, and the inside is quite clean.

"We are using a short-term rental contract. The average daily rent is more expensive than long-term rental, but we can check out at any time. Currently, we have temporarily paid half a month's rent-Duncan and I have met the landlord, who is a A well-spoken and well-educated lady, she generously sent me some daily necessities after learning about my status as a traveling scholar??????」

The floor is a little loose when stepped on, and there is a slight creaking sound that symbolizes the passage of time. The simple tables and chairs are glowing in the sun, and there is not much dust. The bouquets are obviously fake flowers made of cloth or plastic.

"This is also sent by the landlord. It is said that it is the rule of Frost. The landlord prepares a bouquet of flowers that will not wither in winter for the new tenant, which heralds good wishes."

"...every place has strange rules," Duncan said with a slight smile, "this place is not bad... and it is far away from the main road, so it should be quieter."

Half an hour later.

The corner of Duncan's mouth trembled suddenly: "... Ai may indeed be complaining about being bored, but I guess its purpose is not to come to the city to do homework."

While talking, he raised his head and looked towards the second floor: "It seems that if Nina and Ai Yi are taken over to do their homework, they will not complain when they are on the boat

Talking~IndoMTL.com~ Duncan was expressionless: "I didn't praise you—you and Ai combined can know more words than a dog, which is not something to be proud of."

Morris, who is not as strong as Alice, scratched his hair and showed a harmless smile: "Hey..."

Duncan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, you should work hard-now Agou can even roughly understand newspapers, and Aiyi is still struggling with the spelling of twelve common vegetables. I am deeply worried about your future , if this continues, you will not even be able to catch up with Alice."

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting the conversation outside the living room.

Duncan looked at the door in surprise.

Have guests just moved here?

"I'm going to open the door," Alice said, and stepped to the door, but after opening the door, a surprised voice came out, "You are..."

A little girl in a thick black coat and a woolen hat was standing at the door.
