Deep Sea Embers Chapter 370: Agatha got it


With nervousness and curiosity, Agatha secretly looked at this place.

It looks like an ordinary house, most of the furniture is a bit old, but it has been tidied up very cleanly, and the air in the room is also very fresh, maybe the window was opened not long ago to let in the wind, and there was boiling water coming from the direction of the kitchen The sound sounded like the movement of a samovar.

This doesn't look like a "falling place", it's completely a residential house.

Of course, Agatha knew from the very beginning that this place was indeed just an ordinary house—until a few days ago, it was listed in the registry of the Citizen Help Center in the form of a house to be rented out. She just thought ...Since an unnamed visitor chose this place as his temporary residence, shouldn't there be something special here?

But she found nothing.

"Would you like tea? Do you want some coffee?" Duncan came to Agatha and asked casually.

Agatha woke up suddenly, looked at Duncan sitting opposite in surprise, realized what the other person meant after reacting, and quickly waved her hand: "No...Thank you, I'm not thirsty. "

"Don't be restrained, it's like being at home," Duncan smiled, sat down on the sofa opposite Agatha, and said in a very easy-going manner, "Let me think about it... If you don't guess If you are wrong, you should be the gatekeeper of this city-state? It is unlikely that the one who came to the gate at this time was an ordinary guard.”

"Gatekeeper Agatha," Agatha nodded immediately, trying to calm herself, "You know I will come?"

"You will definitely come, or other high-level church officials," Duncan said lightly, "Annie will tell the gravekeeper about me, and the gravekeeper will report the situation to the church. You only need to wait here, and then you can meet with the top church leaders of this city-state."

Agatha adjusted her sitting posture slightly, and looked at the burly figure in front of her with a more solemn attitude: "I want to know... your real purpose. Who are you, and why did you come to Frost ?”

"Didn't I say it?" Duncan raised his eyebrows, "It's to solve the problem that happened here—I thought I had written it very clearly in that report letter."

Agatha opened her mouth, obviously still a little uncomfortable to accept such a simple answer, and hesitated for two or three seconds before opening her mouth: "Really...that's all?"

"If you need a darker reason and a more complex conspiracy to feel that this is plausible enough, then I can make one up," Duncan said casually, "Which style do you prefer? Doomsday or King's Landing Conquer?"

Agatha's body tensed up as it was visible to the naked eye.

"Hey, you scared her," Fanna suddenly coughed twice behind Duncan, "this Miss Gatekeeper will take it seriously."

"Will it?" Duncan turned his head back slightly in doubt, "I thought this joke was quite obvious..."

"According to my experience, yes," Fanna sighed helplessly, "in this line of work, the nerves are always tense, so you can't joke."

Duncan didn't know what to say for a while, but Agatha looked at the extremely tall woman suspiciously. It seems... as if he was observing something with great interest.

But this is not important, what is important is that she confirmed that the superior existence in front of her was just playing a joke on herself - a bad and scary joke.

"Please forgive my sensitivity," Agatha said sincerely, "Recently, the abnormalities in the city-state have become more and more serious, everyone's nerves are tense, and I even doubted..."

She hesitated to say what she said later, but Duncan took it with ease: "I was once suspicious? Don't be nervous, it's very reasonable. After all, the timing of my appearance was just right, and it was the first time I came here. Dealt with oblivion cultists and 'fakes,'"

Agatha didn't say anything, but looked a little embarrassed.

"I want to know how your investigation has progressed." Duncan didn't care about the other party's reaction, just said to himself, "Do you have any clues?"

Agatha hesitated, I don't know

I wondered if I should reveal too much information about Frost to this "visitor" whose origin is a mystery, but after a while she still considered and said, "After getting your warning, we did catch some Annihilation believers, but almost no effective information has been obtained—those heretics who have a deep symbiosis with the deep demons are extremely tenacious, and often choose to self-destruct at the last moment, and the few captured alive are marginal characters, who do not know the whole picture of the plan. ....

"Until now, we can only confirm that the frequent replica phenomenon in the city is indeed caused by those heretics, and they have indeed built a hidden and huge lair in Frost City, but as for the specific location of this lair. ..still clueless."

Speaking of which, Agatha paused for a moment, then continued: "As for the Dagger Island you mentioned in that letter... What's more disturbing is that it has disappeared." "I know. " Duncan said lightly.

"You already know?" Agatha said with some surprise, "This news should still be blocked..."

Duncan's tone was indifferent: "I also have my own information channels in the world. Even if I don't leave the city-state, I still know some things that happened in the outer sea."

Of course the intelligence channel is Tirian—after all, Dagger Island disappeared in front of the Sea Fog Fleet, so Tirian will naturally report the situation to the Lost Homeland as soon as possible.

But even if he knew the shocking news for the first time, Duncan could only be shocked-he couldn't understand how such a large island disappeared out of thin air.

From the situation conveyed by Tirian, the disappearance of the island did not sink, but more like it was directly melted in the sea water, and there were continuous big explosions before it disappeared, very similar to the people on the island Something was activated—but beyond that, no more information.

Information is scarce, and the way of disappearance is too bizarre. After disappearing, there are no clues or traces left. Where did the island go.

"Do you know where Dagger Island went?" Agatha's voice interrupted Duncan's thinking, the gatekeeper of the city-state raised his head and looked over sincerely, "Do you know what happened to it? "

Duncan thought about it, and felt that if he directly admitted that he had thought about it all night without realizing it, it might affect his image a bit, so he pondered for a while, and pointed to his feet.

"Below?" Agatha was stunned for a moment, "You mean, Dagger Island did sink into the sea... But the eyewitness report at the time said that there was no vortex phenomenon caused by the sinking of the island... "

Duncan didn't know how to answer - he was still wondering why such a big island disappeared out of thin air!

He continued to stretch out his hand and pointed to his feet.

"You're not talking about Dagger Island...the clues are at your feet?" Agatha seemed to react, and almost instantly, she recalled her latest conversation with Bishop Ivan, recalling Something about the "Second Waterway" deep underground!

The city hall and the church have searched the entire city-state. The strict curfew system and large-scale inspections are theoretically enough to catch a large number of hidden cultists, but there are always only a few fringe members of the Annihilation Cultist caught. The first waterway, the subway, pipeline wells and other places where people can hide have been searched, but there is no clue...

The city-state is so big, if there are no traces of those heresies in the above-mentioned places, then the only possibility left is the second waterway.

Those collapsed areas, those darkened caverns, those shafts and pipes covered in pollution... they may indeed not be suitable for living, but what if the gang of Oblivion Cultists really survived in those places?

Of course, the search for the "Second Waterway" was originally planned, but she was never sure whether the search operation that was destined to consume an astonishing amount of money was meaningful, and now, she finally found the most powerful support for this operation --A friendly god-like being made it clear that you have to look down.

"I see——I see, we are heading in the right direction," Agatha stood up suddenly, her tone filled with surprise and joy, she looked at Duncan opposite, her attitude suddenly became very sincere and respectful , and bent deeply, "

I see - thank you very much for the reminder! "

Duncan maintained the movement of his fingers and feet, and looked at the bandaged girl who suddenly became excited in front of him in a daze.

What does she know?

"We will start the next step of the search immediately, and this time we will definitely dig up the dens of heretics," Agatha did not notice Duncan's stupefied, she just said confidently, and soon To leave, "Then I won't waste your time—forgive me for interrupting this time, I'm leaving."

"Ah...okay," Duncan said subconsciously before standing up half a beat later, "then you go slowly..."

Agatha thanked her and turned to walk towards the door, but then she seemed to remember something and stopped suddenly.

Alice, who was about to stand up and see her off, almost bumped into her.

Agatha's eyes swept over Alice, but this time she didn't pay much attention to this blond woman who had no heartbeat or breath—a god-like existence, and the followers around her were of course strange. Normal things, nothing to be surprised about.

She turned her head to Duncan.

"Please rest assured ~IndoMTL.com~ I will tell the guards of the church that no one will disturb you," Agatha said very seriously, "I hope you can live happily in Frost—if there is If there is any new situation, I will come in person."

"Ah, of course that's good," Duncan laughed, which he was satisfied with, "I really don't want anyone to bother you."

Agatha nodded, then turned around and walked towards the door again, but after taking two steps, she seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped.

"One more thing, I almost forgot." The gatekeeper pressed his forehead in embarrassment, looked at Duncan and said.

Duncan was puzzled: "Oh?"

Agatha hesitated for a while, and finally asked the question that has troubled her and many people for a long time: "About what you left at the end of that 'report letter...' Secret number, what does that mean? Please forgive us for our shallow knowledge, we have solved it for a long time, but we still cannot understand the riddle you left behind."

Duncan: "...Huh?"
