The heretics and freaks executed in the spirit world are now turned into ashes of wreckage in the real dimension, and the severe pollution suffered by the sewage treatment center has been temporarily purified, but for the shadow that hangs over the entire city-state, This is probably just the tip of the curtain.

The guards in black returned to the gatekeeper. Agatha briefly counted and confirmed the status of the subordinates, and then her eyes fell on the slightly bald manager not far away.

"Is his condition confirmed?"

"It has been confirmed, it is indeed a normal human being," a black-clothed guard whispered, "but being severely frightened, the possibility of mental contamination cannot be ruled out-he needs a period of psychological counseling and observation."

"Leave it to the local church," Agatha nodded lightly, "In addition, inform them that the condition of this sewage treatment center is very bad, and the entire facility needs a thorough purification and inspection afterward, waiting for investigation. Restart here after all hidden dangers.”

"Yes, gatekeeper," the subordinate nodded and accepted the order, then looked up at Agatha with some worry, "You...are you in no trouble?"

Agatha frowned: "Huh? Why do you ask that?"

"You've been stuck in 'over there' for longer than usual," the subordinate explained, "Did you find any clues in the vision of the spirit world?"

Agatha was still frowning slightly, with a thoughtful expression on her face. For some reason, she always felt that she seemed to have overlooked something, but when she thought about it carefully, she found no doubts—it was in the soul. Are there sequelae caused by staying in the border for a long time?

She shook her head, reached out her hand and took out her usual eye drops from the coat pocket, but put it away after a moment of hesitation.

There is no discomfort in the eyeballs, as if I have used the potion before returning to reality.

"Nothing happened," she said to her subordinates, "It's just that the weird appearance of those heretics took a little longer to 'interrogate,'"

It's a pity that nothing came out of the interrogation-those heretics are so stubborn and fanatical, and even simple death can't shake their hardened hearts.

But... what did I overlook? Agatha had vague doubts in her heart again, but she didn't show anything in front of her subordinates.

"Shall we return to the cathedral next?"

A black-clothed guard asked beside him.

"Go back to the cathedral," Agatha nodded, "We must immediately organize a search of all the underground facilities in the city. The situation may be more serious than we imagined."

The time is approaching dusk, and the edge of the sun is gradually approaching the sea level. The brilliant double rune circle is emitting a magnificent brilliance near the sea. The city-state buildings in the distance are gradually soaked by the setting sun. The texture should gradually melt in the sunset.

Duncan stood in front of the narrow window at the end of the corridor on the second floor. His burly body almost blocked all the light from the window. In the gap between the bandages, he quietly watched the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance, as if he was lost in thought. .

The sound of the dog's footsteps came from the side, and Duncan knew who was walking without turning his head.

"Have you finished your homework?" He asked casually.

Shirley, who had just opened the door and was about to sneak to the first floor to find snacks in the kitchen, stopped suddenly, and Agou's trembling head appeared in the shadow beside him, and the latter murmured in a low voice: " I said it would definitely be discovered..."

"I...I finished answering the verbal calculation questions," Shirley ignored Agou's afterthought, and just looked carefully at Duncan who was as majestic as an iron tower at the window. But I'm hungry..."

Duncan could hear the complete nervousness and grievance in the girl's tone, which made him a little dumbfounded and turned his head to look at Shirley: "Did I say that you are not allowed to eat if you can't finish your homework?"

Xue Li shrank her neck, but did not dare to answer.

Duncan sighed, turned around with a smile, and pressed Shirley on the head.

"Don't like studying?" He said helplessly, "You look like you've been bullied."

"I... I feel sleepy after reading a book..." Shirley said nervously, she was still not used to talking with Duncan's current body, the bandages and gloomy black clothes seemed to her Even scarier than the captain on the Lost Home, "I... I'll go back to my room and do my homework!"

Duncan gently pressed Shirley's shoulder, and the latter's movement of turning back to the room was interrupted instantly.

"Take a rest when you are tired," Duncan shook his head, "Don't study out of fear."

Shirley looked at Duncan in disbelief, but then nodded quickly, as if she was afraid that the captain would go back on his word.

After a few more seconds, she looked at Duncan carefully, and couldn't help but ask: "Why do you have to let me read and write... I... I don't have to go to college like Nina, and I don't need to go to college." Maybe some kind of scholar like Mr. Morris..."

Duncan heard this question from Shirley for the first time, but obviously, this question has been entangled in her head for an indefinitely long time—this person has never been to school since she was a child, and she just followed a Youshen The orphan girl who depended on the hound obviously couldn't understand the captain's intentions.

"Because knowledge is useful." Duncan was silent for a while, then looked at Shirley seriously and said, "Those knowledge that make you resist and headache, prop up the operation of the entire civilized world - looking at the street outside The cars driving on the road, the roaring machines in the factory, and the boundless sea outside the city-state, have you ever wondered how those things work? Have you ever wondered what the distant city-state looks like?"

Xue Li thought for a while, she seemed to know what the "correct answer" was, but in the end she shook her head hesitantly: "No, I... I always thought that filling my stomach would be enough, I didn't think too much about it. "

"But you don't just need to fill your stomach now, Shirley," Duncan bent down and looked into the other person's eyes seriously, "Maybe you don't understand yet, but I want to make your life a little more complete—— You have missed a lot of things, but now that you are a member of the Lost Country, those missed things will definitely be made up."

Xue Li stared blankly at Duncan. In fact, she still didn't quite understand what the captain was talking about, but from the serious and serious tone of the other party, she seemed to be vaguely aware of some... temperature.

This temperature is vaguely familiar.

So she nodded half-understanding, and made a drawn-out voice: "Oh..."

"Very good," Duncan laughed, and slowly straightened up, "Now that you understand, go down and eat something later and continue with your homework, I..."

He stopped suddenly.

Xue Li was crouching her neck and waiting for the next instruction. At this time, she raised her head with some regret: "Ah? What's wrong with you?"

Duncan didn't answer her, just waved his hand lightly, but his eyes had turned to the distance and he seemed to be looking at the other side of the corridor, but in the depths of his eyes, it seemed to be reflecting something very A shadow in the distance.

He blinked, one eye reflected the corridors and roofs of this house, while the other seemed to see a ship burning with faint green flames, wandering among the mist and shadows.

In the frosty sea, Duncan suddenly raised his head from the chart table in the captain's room of the Lost Home, which was slowly cruising on the vast sea.

His sudden movement caused the goat head on the edge of the table to react immediately, and the latter turned his neck creakingly: "Ah, Captain, what do you want? Are you ready for dinner? Although there is no one on board now Available, but I'd still like to serve you meals as far as I can. What would you like to eat? We'll start with a southern dish, schnitzel, fried pork chops, fried fish cakes, fried meatballs, baked bird eggs, steamed eggs, poached birds. Simmered eggs, marinated eggs, smoked eggs..."

"Shut up, I didn't raise my head to listen to your name of the dish," Duncan glared at the noisy goat's head, but with a dignified expression, he raised his head and looked out of the window of the captain's cabin—— It's frost

The direction of the city-state, said thoughtfully, "White Oak?"

"White Oak?" Goat's head was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "Ah, you are talking about that steam ship, the one that Alice took before? Why do you suddenly think of it? Do you want to Find that loot? I can provide you with a complete set of recruitment plans. Do you plan to replace the sailors on the ship with new ones? The captain should be able to keep..."

"It's nearby," Duncan didn't care what the goat's head was rambling at all, he just slowly stood up from behind the table, frowning slightly while talking, carefully perceiving the weak but real connection, "Near... Frost?"

"White Oak is near Frost?" Goat's head finally stopped chattering, his tone filled with surprise, "Isn't it possible... Isn't Frost blocked now? And Tirian's fleet is still there The route is blocked, there is a foreign ship approaching, it is impossible for him not to report to you?"

"...things are not quite right ~IndoMTL.com~ I do feel the White Oak's presence," Duncan said thoughtfully, "but its location...is vague and seems to be changing all the time ..."

He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Frost City, trying to determine where the aura that suddenly became stronger in his perception was located.

The breath of the White Oak appeared suddenly, and it became stronger in a short period of time, as if a flame suddenly lit up in the darkness, attracting his attention. This feeling has never appeared before... .

Besides, I don't know if it was an illusion, but Duncan also felt that the breath of the ship experienced several large ups and downs, just like... the flickering lights.

Thinking, he lowered his head and looked at the wooden carving of a goat's head on the table: "Do you know what's going on?"

The goat head thought for a while, then shook his head: "Why don't I give you the name of the dish..."

"It's useless at critical moments." Duncan twitched his mouth, got up, walked around the nautical table, and walked towards the captain's room.
