Chapter 214: After the Lost Country Left
The Lost departed with all its might, as if it had come in an unstoppable manner.
Vanna watched as the giant ship, which could almost be described as "magnificent", sailed majestically through the heart of the city-state of Purland, and watched its illusory hull leap past the rooftops and towers of the city-state, its spirit hull like a distant one
The phantom vanished from her sight, and as the Lost Ship faded away, the spiritual fires that burned throughout the city-state of Poland began to fade and retreat, as if they had completed some kind of mission.
All that was left was a clear sky, a city-state as usual, and beings who had just experienced a nightmare.
Crowds echoed over the city-state, the bells of churches throughout the city continuing to ring in the same historical trajectory, but the bells that had been used to combat the invasion of reality now sounded like some kind of farewell, and the whistle over the cathedral sounded a high-pitched and piercing sound that startled Fanna.
She felt a breath approaching, turned around, and saw Bishop Valentine coming to her side at some point, the old bishop who had experienced death holding a staff in his hand, looking up in the direction where the Lost Country had left, and said as if to herself, "I feel like I've had a long, long dream..."
"You should know that it's not a dream."
"I mean, I just dreamed that twenty rabbits in Shabop dresses were dancing in circles around me..."
Vanna was stunned for a moment: "Then you are indeed dreaming, probably in the process of mental recovery...... Do you have to tell such a bad joke now?"
"But this will make you wake up quickly, and get back to work quickly from the mess of your head," said the old bishop with a calm expression, as if it was not himself who had told the joke just now, and then he lowered his head and looked in the direction of the church square, "We have a lot of things to do next, and this time, it is not a White Oak that has passed by the Lost Country.
Vana followed the old bishop's gaze and saw that the guards and city-state guards in the church square had fallen into some kind of dazed confusion, they looked at the city-state that had returned to normal as if they had just woken up from a big dream, but their memories were still stuck in the battle where history polluted and invaded reality, and some of these people had even seen the scene when the Lost Ship left because of their early "awakening", which further exacerbated the chaos and tension.
Valentine's voice continued to sound next to Vanna: first let the guards restore order, and then start tuning
Examine the state of affairs throughout the city-state, and make sure that everyone has 'returned, that there is something missing or more in the city-state, and that there is ......."
Valentine paused, looking at the young inquisitor beside him.
"And prepare to report to the Cathedral of the Storm - Vanna, the most challenging paperwork of your life is coming."
Vanna's breath suddenly went into the room.
A catastrophe is over, but not everything is over, when everyone survives...... The real investigation seems to have just begun.
The sun is just right.
The solemn and heavy doors of the cathedral creaked open, and Heidi came to the church square with a somewhat dazed expression, looking at the street as usual under the clear sky, but she still remembered the terrible scene of the previous rainstorm and the rain turning into a rain of fire.
How did it end?
All she remembered was that a ghost ship had risen in the sea of fire, and that the parade had sailed through the city-state, and that her consciousness was somehow interspersed
Floating in the dimension between the real and the unreal, two diametrically opposed histories converging in the field of vision, and in the voyage of the ghost ship
The front of the road was split in two, one of which became a reality, and the other was crushed into dust.
There was a slight burning sensation in her chest, and Heidi lowered her head to see that the "giveaway" pendant that her father had taken from the antique store was glowing slightly, and she reached out to touch it, but the pendant made a slight cracking sound the moment she touched it, and then as if she had exhausted her strength, it silently turned into dust, and even the rope that held the pendant was gone.
Kelp was stunned, but soon, there was a lot of noise all over the square
The sound interrupted her stunned thoughts.
The guards were putting order in order, the garrison from the town hall was beginning to roll call and return under the command of the governors, some of the priests who had helped restore order came out of the church, carrying orders from Bishop Valentine and Inquisitor Vanna, while there was talk of the silhouette of the ghost ship that had just gone away.
「…… As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the thing float over my head as if it were sailing in the transparent waters......
"It's scary to watch! The flames grazed the spire of the cathedral! But it seems to be gone......
"That's the Lost Country, no doubt don't believe it, it's definitely the Lost Country!
There was a loud voice in the square, shouting that the ghost ship that had passed through the city-state just now was the legendary Scourge ship, Heidi, and looked in the direction of the sound of the stone, and saw that it was an old captain with gray hair, with whom she had dealt with every day, and knew him very well.
"Captain Lawrence," Heidi walked over and greeted the old captain who was talking to a few civilians who had taken refuge, "are you alright?"
"Me? I'm fine, though I can't figure out what happened," said the old captain, smiling at Heidi's face, "It's good to see you're safe and sound, Miss Doctor—it was so scary that it was rain and fire before!"
Heidi replied casually, and then asked, "You said that the one who left just now was lost?"
"yes, it must be," Lawrence nodded immediately, "I'm too familiar!" I've seen this before!"
Next to him, a citizen who had taken refuge in the cathedral before, and was still a little frightened at the moment, couldn't help but speak:
"Have you seen it?"
"yes, or why do you think I've been in quarantine in the cathedral for so long?" Lawrence's eyes widened, and then he turned to Heidi, "I know you can talk to the upper echelons of the church, I'll give you a piece of advice, good to turn around."
It's good to check what's missing in the city-state, and when the Lost Country passes by, they usually take something with them, and I have experience!"
Heidi listened in confusion and nodded vaguely, and after a while, some memories that had happened not long ago, but seemed to be a lifetime away, suddenly came to mind.
How's going on my father's side?
......
Morris didn't feel very good, he was dizzy, his stomach was churning, as if he had drunk very strong wine, and wanted to vomit, but he didn't dare to vomit.
Because he felt that the mops and buckets in front of him were staring at him, and the Miss Alice next to him was also staring at him silently.
If you do vomit on the deck, you may be beaten - on this ship, any rope is older than you, and they probably don't have the concept of respecting the elderly.
He thought he was probably seasick, or maybe he was seasick.
Maurice looked up and saw the pigeon, named "Aid", proudly patrolling the deck with piles of chips, which had previously turned into a terrifying giant bird of bones and had brought himself to the ghost ship when it had suddenly rained fire outside the antique shop, and now it had become the harmless appearance of humans and animals, walking between the piles of chips.
The girl named Shirley was sitting not far away, and a ghostly hound was staying with her, which seemed to be a combination of a summoner and a ghostly demon, but the two of them were more honest than the other at the moment—Shirley sat upright as if she were a well-bred lady, and she didn't dare to breathe, and the ghostly demon she called "A Dog" didn't even know where to find a newspaper, and sat upright on the barrel next to Shirley, and struggled with its paws to pretend to read the newspaper there—but it was clearly illiterate. The newspapers were all taken upside down.
Farther afield, towering masts, unreal sails of spirits as transparent as veils, the vast expanse of the sea, and the city-state of Fanland, which has become more and more distant.
Recalling what he had witnessed and experienced as he sailed with the ship through the city-state, Maurice still felt in his heart
The experience of overlooking the burning earth after being transformed into a spirit by the ghostly flames was a bit of a thrill, and if he had been years ago, he might have thought it was an intense and fun adventure, but now that he is not a young man, that experience may have been a bit ...... for him The stimulation is overdone.
Morris took a soft breath, feeling the thoughts in his head be a mess, he was wondering if he still had a chance to go back, and he was also worried about the situation on his family's side.
And then a voice suddenly came from the other side, it was the ghost hound—Maurice knew what the ghost hound was, but he never thought that a ghost hound would be as sensible and polite as the one in front of him: "Old man, look at me...... I'm like this...... It's like a well-educated ...... Cultural Dog ...... Dogs?"
"Uh...... Frankly speaking, I don't think a dog needs to show his upbringing by reading the newspaper, but you are a dark demon, and the judging standard cannot be judged according to the dogs in the world... Anyway, the smartest dog in the human world can't learn to sit on a barrel and read a newspaper," Morris was stunned for a moment, and answered the other party's question with a strange expression, "There are two other things, first, you have the newspaper on your paw reversed, and second... Are you stammering a little?"
Ah Dog was stunned, and quickly turned the newspaper on his paw upside down, while replying, "I, I...... I don't stutter, Jane I have... … Yes...... A little nervous about voting
"Dog, I don't think you need to be nervous like this," Shirley muttered suddenly, "and what are you reading—Mr. Duncan already knows that we are both illiterate."
As soon as her voice fell, before Ah Dog could speak, Alice, who was in a daze, suddenly raised her hand, "Me too!"
Shirley looked surprised, and Morris silently lowered his head and rubbed his forehead.
The old scholar felt that he had arrived in a place that was too outrageous... What is this?
