Alice takes it very easy to accept the fact that her chest has been converted into parts of the Lost Country, and then quickly puts the matter of Ray Nora, the Queen of Frost, behind her—an open-mindedness that Duncan can't match.

And according to Miss Doll herself, the reason why she is so calm is because all this is "outside the body" for her.

"I'm living on this ship now anyway, and I'm not going to leave in the future, and it's not a big deal for the box to become part of the Lost Country, and the Frost Queen is even simpler—I don't even know her," Alice sat back on the lid of her wooden case, with a pleasant smile on her face, "I don't know if I'm her, or what she used to be, but it was half a century ago...... What is historical is history. ”

"If only you had a good heart." Duncan just looked at Alice's lilac eyes quietly, and after a long time, he nodded slightly.

In the end, he still didn't mention the "details" in the echo to the other party, and didn't mention what the Frost Queen Ray Nora suddenly said to herself before she was executed.

After all, even if it is mentioned, this doll must not know anything...... It's good that she's so carefree now.

"That's it, now we have a preliminary understanding and control of your 'coffin', but whether the decapitation effect of 'Anomaly 099' is also under control, there will be some tests later," Duncan exhaled softly, "I'll go first." ”

"Hey, Captain, you go slowly~~"

Leaving Alice's room, Duncan returned to the deck, and he slowly walked towards the captain's room with a heart full of concern, sorting out the problems he was currently encountering as he went.

He was supposed to find out if Anomaly 099's "decapitation" power was controllable, but in the end, he couldn't solve the problem, and accidentally touched on an old incident half a century ago...... The Frost Queen, executed by the rebels, the accusations of collusion with the Lost Country, and some mysterious "abyss" plan were all things that swirled in his mind and dissipated for a long time.

And in addition to these, there is another thing that also makes him very concerned.

Duncan reached out and took something out of his arms.

It was a small hairpin, shaped like a silvery feather surrounded by ocean waves.

In any case, it doesn't look like something that a rugged male seafarer has.

When you look at it yourself, you will feel a distant and vague nostalgia, this hairpin...... It seems to have a special meaning for the once real "Captain Duncan".

Duncan's mind was full of questions, but he knew that he couldn't ask the goathead directly about it.

He put away the card, and returned to the captain's quarters, where the goathead was still diligently controlling the ship, and to Duncan's surprise, the pigeon Ae, who was supposed to remain in the bedchamber, was with him.

The bird was standing proudly on the horns of the goat's head, proudly rubbing its beak with the head of the goat.

Duncan opened the door and saw this scene when he entered the house, and immediately asked curiously: "When did you have such a good relationship?" ”

The pigeon flapped its wings and did not open its mouth coldly, while the goat's head squeaked and turned its head, and its obsidian-polished eyes looked directly at Duncan: "Great captain...... Can you pick up some chips next time you walk with Ae Spirit? ”

Duncan was stunned: "...... Why did you start to come to the 'Hour Fries' set? ”

The goat's voice almost trembled: "Please, order the fries...... Just to shut up your pigeons......"

Duncan was stunned to see the combination of birds and sheep, and only after a while vaguely guessed what was happening, and suddenly he was happy: "You finally met a natural enemy?" ”

"I changed seventy-six topics! Seventy-six! Exhaust your life's learning, throughout thousands of years of history, from poetry and song to frying and frying, from the sacrifice of the gods to sow breeding! But all the response was 'fries on the hour'! The goat's voice sounded a little broken, "How the hell do you usually deal with this pigeon?" ”

"It's easy, just don't talk to it, if you don't talk to it, it will soon quiet down on its own," Duncan said, "I guess you can't do it." ”

The goat's head thought for a moment and sighed: "...... Then you should go back and order the fries. ”

Duncan was noncommittal, but beckoned to Ae, and the dove flew over and landed on his shoulder, before he sat down in his chair and turned to the goat's head and said casually, "Ray Nora, the Frost Queen, ruler of the Frost City-State half a century ago—do you know?" ”

"The Frost Queen? The one that was executed by the rebels half a century ago? The goat's head was stunned for a moment, "I've heard of this, and it seems that we fought with them around there decades ago...... But there's nothing more to do than that. Why did you bring this up all of a sudden? ”

Duncan calmly stared into the goat's eyes, and he knew that the "first mate" was not lying.

Goathead really didn't know anything about the Frost Queen, and the Lost Country didn't have any connection to the Frost City-State.

Not only did it have no contact, but the Lost Country had even clashed with the city-state's guards—just as it had clashes with ships from other city-states and other shipping routes.

Since the Goathead never had been an ally of the Frost City-State in Goathead's memory, it means that the charges that the rebels placed on the Frost Queen half a century ago were completely fictional.

Of course, it may be too early to draw this conclusion, after all, it is an old incident from half a century ago, there may be many twists and turns in the buried history, and he only has the words of a goat's head on his side, this first mate may just tell the truth, but what he knows is not necessarily the whole truth - it just doesn't matter.

Duncan doesn't mean to overturn the case for the Frost Queen half a century ago, he just wants to know about the Lost Country and Alice.

"You know what? Alice's appearance is exactly the same as that of the Frost Queen half a century ago - the so-called Anomaly 099 is most likely born after the executed Frost Queen was cursed by the Infinite Sea," he said casually, teasing the pigeon on his shoulder with his fingers, "and the main 'crime' of that Frost Queen who was executed by the rebels back then was collusion with the Lost Country. ”

The goat's head was stunned for a moment.

Duncan rarely sees this guy stunned.

"Collusion with the Lost Country?! Do the stupid humans in those city-states have to come up with such a ridiculous reason for betraying their own monarch? After a few seconds, the goathead finally laughed loudly, and he obviously found it ridiculous, "Don't blame me for laughing too loudly, but those humans are so stupid and weak that they are afraid that they will blame the curse of the Lost Nation even if they go out and fall on their heels!" This 'crime' is really outrageous! ”

He paused before continuing, "But you said Miss Alice looks a lot like the Frost Queen?" That's really ...... It's inconceivable if Miss Alice was really the Frost Queen...... Then it's ironic. ”

"yes, if they do have such a connection, it's ironic," Duncan leaned back and leaned back in a comfortable position, "The Frost Queen had never been in contact with the Lost Country during her lifetime, but the rebels had been charged with colluding with the Lost Country, and now, half a century later, Alice has indeed become a crew member of the Lost Country—a crime that the rebels pressed back then has come true across time and space." ”

"No wonder you rushed to find Miss Alice as soon as you returned, it turned out that you found key information about Anomaly 099," the goathead immediately began to pat his ass, "You are worthy of the great Captain Duncan, every trip you have will be rewarded!" It reminds me of a remark made by a navigator, and it could have been a ......"

Duncan immediately glared at the goat's head, and casually took the pigeon off his shoulder and placed it in front of the goat's head: "You two talk." ”

Goathead: "......!?" ”

……

In the central cathedral of the city-state of Plant, Vanna handed a freshly signed document to her retinue: "Send this document to the Western Church—this is the last search warrant." ”

The young Guardian Warrior took the paper: "Yes, Inquisitor. ”

Vanna exhaled softly, moving her neck, which was slightly stiff from paperwork, feeling more tired from dealing with a pen than wielding a greatsword to fight heretics.

At the edge of the table, an oil lamp burned silently, and smoke billowed from a copper incense burner, two things that were necessary for the night's paperwork — even in the hallowed cathedral.

"Hopefully there won't be any more trouble tonight."

The young lady Inquisitor couldn't help but grunt as she stretched.

As if in response to her muttering, as soon as Fanna's words fell, a slightly rapid and sharp bell suddenly came from the direction of the main church building!

The Guardian Warrior, who had just picked up the papers and had not had time to leave the room, suddenly stopped when he heard the bell, he glanced out the window suspiciously, and then looked at his boss who was halfway up his waist: "The night bell rings...... What happened? ”

"It's the bell that summons to listen," Vanna quickly discerned the message of the bell, and her expression suddenly became serious, "Seven consecutive short rings, from the 'Tomb of the Nameless King'...... Could it be that a new anomaly or anomaly has been discovered? ”
