Deep Sea Embers

Even a ghost was once a member of the real world. No matter how terrifying the Lost Homeland that fell into the subspace a century ago is now, it is still a ship built by craftsmen in the real world, just like that Captain Duncan, who was in the Before becoming the shadow of the Warp, he was also a human being.

For ordinary sailors, everything related to the Lost Home must be covered with a veil of "curse" and "strangeness", as if the terrifying ghost captain was a creation directly from the subspace, No one will think about whether a natural disaster wandering in the boundless sea has any personal emotions, whether there are any interpersonal relationships, and the "Captain Duncan" in many people's minds is even like a symbolic natural phenomenon-it just needs to exist, and there is no need to pursue it. This traceability.

Fear builds a wall in the minds of mortals, so that they subconsciously do not think about what details are on the other side of the wall.

But as a judge who specializes in fighting against this fear, Fanna knows how to distinguish the real parts from a series of legends, exaggerations, and ravings.

The terrible captain of the Lost Home... When he was still a human being, before the Viserand Thirteen Island incident, he also had his best friends and family members, and he also had loyal sailors and adjutants under him. You need to go to the port to maintain supplies and deal with the city-state authorities.

He couldn't have been born a mobile apocalypse.

Captain Duncan had a pair of children, the eldest son Tirian Abnomair, and the daughter Lucrezia Abnomare - and they still exist today.

Some cursed power is said to have extended their lives, allowing the two captains to wander the world as immortal as their fearsome father.

These two captains are each in charge of a powerful ship, and they have been wandering on the edge of the civilized world for a long time. Their relations with all city-states are very cold or even vaguely antagonistic, so that many people can't even imagine that Captain Duncan still has a The children are active in the world, and only some people who know history and are sensible enough understand their affairs.

On the other hand, despite the frosty relations with the various city-states, these two captains are at least on the side of mankind-the terrible curse of the Lost Country does not make them follow in Captain Duncan's footsteps.

The Brilliant Star is a powerful pioneering exploration ship steered by Ms. Lucrezia Abnomar. This lady is passionate about exploring the limits of the world. It is said that she has reached the edge of the known world and witnessed A miracle unimaginable to the world.

No one knows what she is looking for at the edge of the world, but in rare cases, she will send envoys to visit the explorers' associations of some city-states, and tell the world some knowledge she discovered on the voyage—the only The goodwill connection is proof that she's still on the side of humanity.

It is said that the Explorers' Association of the city-state of Cold Harbor even awarded this mysterious lady a medal of honorary membership, but no one knows whether the latter accepted this... "honor".

Tirian Abu Nomar is an existence that is closer to the human world than his sister, but also more dangerous—more than half a century ago, he served the Frost City-State in the northern seas, and now he He is the most powerful pirate captain in the cold sea.

This moody captain controls nearly half of the main routes in the Lenglie Sea. With the Sea Fog as his flagship, there are more than ten warships fighting for him. A semi-official force, the island it occupies has also developed to the point where it can compete with the city-state, and it seems to have surpassed the concept of "pirate regiment".

As for how this Tirian captain turned from a general under the Frost Queen to a pirate leader, people have different opinions——

Some people said that he was the mastermind of the Frost Rebellion half a century ago, the one who personally pushed the Frost Queen to the guillotine, and after that, he looted the wealth of the city-state and established a powerful pirate group.

Another theory is quite the opposite: a few scholars believe that Tirian Abu Nomar fought for the Queen to the last moment during the Frost Rebellion. He finally became a pirate and frequently attacked ships between Frost and Cold Harbor because of Disheartened, and obsessed with revenge for the queen.

Fan Na didn't know how much of this chaotic speculation was true or false. Considering the personalities of the two captains, they probably weren't interested in explaining their affairs to the world, but one thing was certain: the Lost Country Reappearing in the world is definitely a major event for them that requires attention, and even requires vigilance and full preparation for war.

After all, the brother and sister had betrayed the Lost with their ships more than a century ago—and now, their furious father had returned from the Warp.

Of course, as Dante Wayne said, this is just a spare card-it would be better if it comes in handy, but you can't bet on this card.

What you can really count on is your own strength.

...

When the bell tower of the church in the neighborhood rang, the whistle of a special rhythm also simultaneously broke the silence of the night, and the city-state, which had been silent all night, gradually woke up.

The sun is gradually spreading along the distant buildings, the "creation of the world" in the sky is gradually fading and disappearing in the sun, the sound of cars, horses and pedestrians is uploaded from the street, this city surrounded by the boundless sea has experienced another Once the night fell, and safely ushered in the sunrise.

Nina got up early and prepared breakfast. The aroma of mushroom sauce and toast helped Duncan dispel the drowsiness of this human body in the early morning. Hearing the sound of bicycle bells from the street outside, he suddenly said: "Do you want Is it a bicycle?"

"Bicycle?" Nina was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand, "It's so expensive...and I don't need it either."

"It's more convenient to go to school," Duncan said, "You don't have to worry about the money, I will find a way."

He has thought about this problem seriously - although this antique store does not look very good, judging from the accumulation and rotation of the goods in the warehouse and the cash stored in the store, it should actually have stable sales on weekdays and support at least two people is absolutely more than enough.

Nina's life is now in a difficult state, because her original uncle donated more than half of his family wealth to the cult, and more than half of the remaining money was squandered on spirits, casinos and medicines.

Now that this depraved life is over, and after the large wasted expenses are blocked, he doesn't have to do anything else, as long as the normal business of the store is maintained, Nina can live a better life than before.

Of course, he doesn't know how to open a store, and the purchase channels he knows are a bit vague, but...you can get used to it slowly.

The most important thing is to make Nina really feel at ease and let her get used to the change that her "uncle" has become reliable again.

Nina lowered her head, nibbled on the hard bread, and repeated after a while: "That's so expensive..."

Duncan opened his mouth and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a knock on the door from the first floor.

"So early...someone came before the door opened?" Nina was stunned for a moment when she heard the knock on the door, she muttered subconsciously, then got up and walked outside, "I'll go down and see the situation!"

The girl ran downstairs quickly, and Duncan broke a piece of bread and threw it to the pigeon who was pacing on the table: "You said... other than opening a shop normally, is there any other way to make money faster... Do you want to open a shop?" Logistics company?"

The pigeon immediately jumped two steps to the side, and flapped its wings angrily: "But it didn't come here to amuse me."

Then it started to chatter, "That Daiyu was furious, and swung the Zhangba Snake Spear", and "Elder Tang threw out his fists, hitting Qiu Qianren like a spinning top", and then "When I looked up, A blood streak appeared on Tathagata's head, filling the entire screen, and the three brothers were sweating coldly"...

Duncan was completely dumbfounded: "..."

He could understand that the pigeon couldn't speak when Nina was around, so he couldn't hold it lightly, but he couldn't understand the structure of the bird's brain after holding it for a long time—it was a mess in its vocabulary!

But before he could speak to the pigeon, Nina's voice suddenly came from the first floor—her tone sounded a little nervous: "Uncle Duncan! There...two gentlemen of the peace are here to see you... ..."

Sheriff? Two magistrates came to find themselves early in the morning?

Duncan was taken aback, and immediately ordered the pigeon to stay in the room, and then got up and went downstairs quickly.

As soon as he reached the first floor, he saw Nina who was looking back towards the stairs nervously, and the two sheriffs in dark blue uniforms standing in front of the antique shop.
