To be sure, Duncan was genuinely sincere at this point—he admired the tough-willed, outspoken Inquisitor, and her performance in that disaster, and even though that admiration aside, he cherished Vanna's special "node".

If it is not enough coincidence, it is not so easy to place such a "node" among the top members of the church, and it is even more difficult to establish the most basic "friendship" with them.

Fan is very upright, and this uprightness determines that she will not deny Duncan's merits in sheltering Plant, and decides that even if she is awkward personally, she will be treated fairly in this "adult favor".

It's just that Duncan's sincerity on his side sounds more or less scary to others.

A connection that can't be severed like a curse, a subspace shadow that can invade one's mind at any time, and a high-level being powerful enough to reverse the pollution of history with an unclear purpose - that is, Vanna is determined, and this is a person who is afraid that SAHK has already passed several rounds.

Vanna settled down, she did not shy away from meeting Duncan's gaze, her heart was still full of vigilance, intellectually, she still couldn't believe every word this "ghost captain" said to her, even if the other party did shelter Plant, there might be something more terrible behind this shelter

Conspiracy – because similar conspiracies abound throughout history, but emotionally ......

Her feelings were trying to persuade her not to trust reason too much.

「.…… What do you want," Vanna took a light breath, and once again she expressed her doubts, but this time, there was not only pure resistance and vigilance, but more seriousness in her questioning—she wanted to seriously talk to the legendary captain and listen carefully to what the other party had to say, even if it wasn't

As a friend, you can also temporarily not be an enemy.

After saying this, she paused, and then added: "Don't say anything more, 'Hour fries,'...... I want to hear something serious."

「…… Actually, 'the whole thing is serious,' Duncan looked helpless, "and a lot of ketchup, if you can."

Vanna: .........?"

"I'm improving the food on my ship, isn't that obvious?" Duncan suddenly laughed, and all of Vanna's reactions did not exceed his expectations, and then he walked around the mirror for a moment, as if he was sitting on something, and continued in a very relaxed manner, "Vanna, what do you think a captain like me would usually do?"

"What do you usually do?" Vanna was stunned, she didn't notice that the conversation had changed from a tense atmosphere to a ...... After calming down, after the figure in the mirror sat down, the follow-up topic was as if two friends were chatting, "I...... I've never thought about it......

"yes, you haven't thought about it, and all of us don't think about it, because a terrible ghost captain is only in charge of being "horrible", and I'd better be constantly conceiving some kind of conspiracy to turn the world upside down twenty-four hours a day, so that it fits the character more - but really?"

Duncan said, spreading his hands.

"I've got a very, very big ship to take care of, and there's a lot of headaches on that ship, my crew, often messing up, every time the chickens and dogs on the deck jump for a long time, the food on the Lost is another headache, but the bigger problem is the supply of hot water, I've been thinking about installing a boiler on the ship lately, I don't know if you recommend?"

"I don't know much about boilers...... Wait, no, it's not this," Vana subconsciously spoke, and just halfway through her words, she felt that something was wrong, her eyes widened as she looked at the ghost captain in the mirror who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and she always felt that the other party's smile was swaying and ...... Dao, why are you suddenly telling me this? And...... Forehead...... Are you serious?"

Duncan adjusted his posture, he looked into Vanna's eyes, and his expression gradually became serious: "Vanna, have you noticed-I'm not as scary as you think, the unknown is the source of fear, and now, you know something about me,"

Vanna was silent for a moment, because she could no longer keep up with the captain's rhythm, and she didn't know what to do at the moment

Answer.

But after a moment of silence, she exhaled softly, trying to change the subject: "...... You have taken away the fragments of the sun, which is another great danger in the city-state of Purland, and I should be grateful for that."

The corners of Duncan's mouth twitched imperceptibly, "...... With all my hands, I have a hobby of collecting."

But what he was actually trying to say was that he had just sent the Sun Fragments back to Plain - although Niyong was at first excited to spend the night on the ship, she found herself in bed and not going home to sleep well......

Duncan was afraid of himself, and when he said this, there was a jumper on the other side......

Vanna didn't notice the instantaneous change in the other party's expression, she just nodded slightly, and continued, "Now that order has gradually been restored in the city-state, the aftermath of the pollution caused by the Last Missionary has completely subsided, and those cultists who summoned the Black Sun ...... It has become burnt firewood as they wish, and I hope you are happy with the result."

"It's okay, they're going to pop up sooner or later," Duncan said casually, "Heretics are the breath of the gods, and as long as the roots aren't destroyed, the cultists can't be wiped out - just keep cleaning up next time."

Vanna listened thoughtfully to every word Duncan said, the expression on her face was only slightly curious: "Sounds ...... You have a bad relationship with those heretics."

"You'd like to get some information," Duncan smiled, "because it's a rare opportunity in the last hundred years to get to know Captain Duncan and the Lost Homeland firsthand—but you can ask directly,"

Vanna was a little speechless for a moment, and her face was embarrassed, but soon she heard the ghost captain reply calmly from the mirror, "I don't like those cultists, neither the Suncultists nor the Last Missionaries, but the Cultists of the Extinction who worship the Holy Lord...... I don't know much, but most of them are probably crazy people that annoy me.

"So you can just report this matter and say that the Lost Country and the three major cults are enemies, and if conditions allow, Captain Duncan will be happy to destroy any cultist who appears in front of him - this information should be useful."

「…… Thank you for your answer." Vana hesitated, but nodded seriously.

"Anything else you want to know?" Duncan asked again.

Vanna pursed her lips.

Of course there was, but she didn't know if it was the right choice to ask the ghost chief on the other side when it came to shaking her faith and subspace.

In the end, she still didn't talk about her confusion and vacillation at the moment, but asked a question related to herself thoughtfully; …… I wonder if subspace will respond to mortal desires—and at what cost will it cost to answer this question."

Vanna made a point of mentioning the "price" at the end, because she was very clean, and the question was completely different from the conversation she had just had with the other person.

The conversation just now did not involve knowledge of the Otherworldly Realm, and now the question ...... It is a dangerous move to seek forbidden knowledge from a shadow who has returned from subspace.

She wasn't afraid to pay the price, but she wanted to know what it was.

"Don't be so nervous, it's not a cost," Duncan laughed in the mirror, "because I really don't know them well."

Vanna: "...... Huh?"

"Why does everyone think I know a lot of secrets about subspace," Duncan rubbed his face a little helplessly, "I've been to that place, but I'm not doing censuses in subspace - you live in the neighborhood, do you know everyone on the neighborhood?"

Fanna nodded, "Yes."

Duncan: "......"

Vanna reacted suddenly, a little embarrassed and a little hindsighted, and added, "Of course, there may be some less familiar ...... Well, I know

What do you mean?"

"I can't answer your question, but I can tell that it has something to do with your bad state," Duncan regained his seriousness, "You've been caught in the subspace

What's getting entangled?"

Vanna looked at Duncan in the mirror with a strange expression,

Duncan thought for a moment and added, "I mean other than me......

"I don't know," Vanna shook her head, and then she opened her mouth again as if she wanted to say something, but didn't say it at the last minute.

"Well, it seems you're still a little apprehensive, I can understand," Duncan didn't care, "but if it's really something from subspace that's bothering you, you can ask me for help—at least in this area."

Vanna fell silent, and it took nearly a dozen seconds before she suddenly broke the silence: "Why?"

"You're asking why I'm willing to help you?" Duncan's voice sounded through the mirror, it was still majestic and even a little gloomy to Vanna, but it seemed to have a little more gentleness and sincerity at the moment, "Maybe it's because I fought side by side with Plant—Vanna, I appreciate your perseverance and bravery."

The figure in the mirror stood up.

The ghost captain seemed ready to leave.

Fanna suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, she actually couldn't understand whether she was vigilant or cautious or simply nervous at the moment, but the other party's departure did make her relax a little.

But just as Duncan's figure was about to completely dissipate from the mirror, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "Wait, there's one more thing."

Duncan tilted his face slightly, "Huh?"

"After that, ......" Vana was a little stuck, and then regrouped her words before speaking hesitantly, "I mean, if you're still going to 'show up, can you not always be so sudden......

Duncan didn't respond, his face shrouded in shadows deep in the mirror, and he couldn't see what it was.

It was a few seconds before Fanna heard the other man's voice come into her ears; "Next time I'll knock on the door."
