Chapter 234: A Harmonious Family
Tyrion had to struggle to explain to his sister the strange changes that had happened to his "father" - and the strange things he had done to Purland.
ββ¦β¦ I can feel that he is no longer the chaotic and chaotic subspace shell of half a century ago, and there seems to be 'humanity' and 'reason' in that body, but it feels very strange to me...... I'm not sure what's in his shell," Tirion said slowly, frowning, "He still seems to know me, but beyond that, I don't know if he's still the father we know well, he...... The changes are very large. β
The black-haired woman on the other side of the crystal ball was silent for a few seconds, and said, "But it sounds at least better than it was half a century ago." β
ββ¦β¦ "Half a century ago, I stood on the bow of the Sea Mist and looked at that figure, wishing it wasn't him, and now I meet him again, only wondering if it's him...... In any case, the Lost Country did not bring as much disaster as it had done in the past. β
Lucrecia didn't respond, but after thinking for a moment, she suddenly mentioned something: "Remember what I told you last time?" Luni suddenly broke down, and then said that the 'old master' was looking for me...... Now it seems like our father was really planning something. β
"What will he plan?" Tirion frowned, "Continuing his last unfinished expedition of the year?" Reconvene the Lost Fleet? β
"I don't know."
Lucrecia said lightly.
At the same time, a shadow of interference suddenly appeared in the crystal ball, and then some of the automatic magic devices behind Lucrecia seemed to be malfunctioning, and there was a faint cracking sound, and a group of automatic puppets rushed up to check the equipment, looking busy.
"What the hell is going on over there?" Tyrion was suddenly a little worried, "Do you need to deal with the pile of equipment behind you first?" β
"Don't worry, the puppets will solve it, it's just a small problem, it's nothing compared to the real big storm on the border," Lucrecia said calmly, not even looking back at the hectic scene, "I'm almost past this unstable sea." β
"What are your plans to explore? It's not going to be straight into that fog this time, is it? Let me remind you, the border is not a safe place......"
"I'm tracking something that suddenly appeared near the border and rushed into the sea with a huge amount of energy, but the ship's equipment didn't have time to capture its specific image," Lucrecia still looked calm, "Rest assured, it's inside the Curtain of EternityβI'm not reckless enough to challenge that fog." Well, when I find it, I'll send you the image, and if it's something that can be divided, I'll cut a piece into a souvenir for you. β
Tirian waved his hand when he heard this: "No need, there is no evil souvenir you sent over, and I still want to sleep a few more peacefully." β
Lucrecia didn't care, she just said casually, "Then did you buy me a spirit lens?" β
Tirien was stunned for a moment, and his tone suddenly became a little unnatural: "This...... It's probably going to have to take a few days, you know, that thing is going to be lucky......"
"You forgot?"
"Of course not, several suppliers I know are out of stock, but the four major churches do have goods, but the procedures are too difficult......
"You forgot, did you?"
"I'm doing my best," Tirion said with a serious face, "there should be a way other than robbery. β
"Then it seems that you did forget," Lucrecia on the other side of the crystal ball had already nodded to herself, with a calm tone that she had expected, "It's okay, you're busy, and it's really hard to ...... request."
Tirian listened to his sister's words, and his face was visibly more relaxed, and then he heard the second half of the sentence from the other side of the crystal ball: "Then I'll ask again the day after tomorrow." β
Tyrion: "......"
The pirate wiped his forehead, as if to say something, but he was about to open his mouth when a sudden sound of flapping wings came from outside the window, interrupting his movements, followed by a pecking of glass.
"Wait a minute, there's something going on my side," Tirion said quickly, glancing up at the same time with a look of surprise on his face, "Polley?!" β
He quickly got up, opened the window, and let the big parrot with colorful tail feathers in, and Polley flapped his wings and fluttered and landed on the table, making a loud voice: "Polley! β
Tirien returned to the table and sat down, looking at the parrot suspiciously, "Why are you here?" Running out of the boat? Or did Aiden let you come? β
"Ahh Aiden Pelly is coming! The parrot spread its wings and shouted as it nodded back and forth, "Pelly has come to deliver a message, an important message!" Aiden said...... Aiden said......"
The parrot was a little stuck, and it was a long time before it shouted under Tirian's stunned gaze, "Hour fries!" Hour fries! β
TYRION: "......? β
Lucretia on the other side of the crystal ball also heard the movement here, and her confused voice came: "Brother, is Polly hungry?" β
ββ¦β¦ No, it was supposed to pass on other information, but the news was tampered with," Tirion reacted immediately, as Polly's owner, he was very familiar with this big parrot, and he was also familiar with Aiden's personality, and his expression had quickly become serious, "Pelly, is there something wrong on the ship?" β
The parrot tilted its head to look at its master, and repeated the "whole fries" of unknown meaning several times, but suddenly, it stopped again, as if it had finally remembered something, and excitedly shouted: "Blood-seeking compass!" β
Tirien frowned slightly, "Blood Compass? β
"Point to the city-state!" The parrot waved its wings vigorously and shouted excitedly, "Blood compass, point to the city-state!" β
Tirian was stunned suddenly, and then reacted immediately, his face changed, and he suddenly looked up at the crystal ball in front of him: "Lucy, he's ......"
"Brother, leave Perand immediately," Lucrecia, who was on the other side of the crystal ball, said in a hurried tone without waiting for Tirien to finish, "This could be a trap!" β
Tirion didn't respond to his sister's hurried reminder, and sat stiffly like a frozen sculpture, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
"Brother?" Lucrecia's voice was puzzled, "Didn't you hear that?" β
"Lucy, he's ......," Tirien whispered to break the silence, "...... I'm opposite. β
The voice in the crystal ball fell silent.
Tirien stared intently, across the table, and on the other side of the wall, a faint green flame was floating on the surface of a decorative mirror with an oval frame, and in the flickering light of the fire, a majestic figure was standing in the mirror, calmly staring at it.
"First of all," the figure in the mirror spoke, "it's not a trap, and I'm surprised you're here."
"The second thing, I'm done, so I'll see what you're up to."
Tirion still sat upright without saying a word, and Lucrethea in the crystal ball was also stiff, but she couldn't see the picture in the other direction, only the voice, which made her more uneasy, and couldn't help but whisper: "Is he really there?" β
Tirion grabbed the box on the table with a blank face, turning the crystal ball and lens set to the other side, "Say hello to Dad." β
As soon as Tirien's side moved, Lucrecia's voice became louder, and her tone was urgent: "No, no, no, no turn, I'm just ......"
She's been turned around.
Through the magic crystal orb, she saw her father hanging on the wall.
Duncan was also looking through the mirror at the woman in the crystal orb.
It was the first time he had seen each other, and in his own mind, he had no memory of being with each other except for a little affectionate and nostalgic impression.
But even that little bit of intimacy and nostalgia still slowly permeated his heartβhe had a similar feeling when he met Tirien, but now in the face of Lucrecia, there seemed to be a faint hint of this feeling...... Guilt and regret.
Is it because you owe more? Or is it because of the last gift that didn't make it?
Duncan didn't know, it wasn't his own memories and feelings after all, it was just because of his identity at the moment, he nodded to Lucrecia: "Long time no see, Lucy." β
......Lucrecia's expression was unusually flustered, and the "witch of the sea" who had come to show herself as a calm and mysterious figure finally encountered a situation that was even more incomprehensible than the vagaries of the "frontier", and she was nervous as if she had traveled back to many, many years ago, to the afternoon when she first broke her father's nautical instrument, "I...... Long time no see......"
Then the room fell into a depressing silence, Duncan just silently stared at the pair of "children" in front of him, this wordless pressure seemed to be transmitted through the crystal ball to the distant boundless sea border, Lucrecia desperately found a topic in her mind to break the silence, held back for a long time before finally came out: "You...... This frame is a good match for you......"
Duncan: "...... Well? β
"I mean, your current patterned frame is especially worthy of your bearing......" Lucrecia replied in a panic, "reserved, low-key, and ......"
ββ¦β¦ Yes? β
"Especially when you're hanging on the wall......"
Duncan was stunned: "What the hell do you want to say?" β
Lucrecia finally turned her head to the side, as if trying to find Tirien's place, and muttered, "Help ...... help"
Tirion sighed, pushed the suitcase containing the crystal ball to the side, and got up to the middle of the crystal ball and the frame, "What is the matter with you coming to us?" β
