Emerging from the flame gate were Alice in disguise, Vanna in her usual clothes, and Maurice in a dark gray coat with a cane.

Duncan needed Morris's knowledge to help him understand the city, as well as find the whereabouts of that "Brown Scott", Vanna's expertise to find the whereabouts of the cultists, and if possible to establish contact with the local church, Alice......

Not much, but Alice wanted to see it—on the other hand, given Alice's face against the Frost Queen, Duncan thought it would be a bit of fun to bring her over.

The green spirit flames quickly dissipated in the air, and Ay took the form of a white dove again, landing on a nearby tree branch, and Maurice tightened his thick coat in the frosty cold wind, and looked up at the brightly lit city nearby, Alice was looking around curiously, and Vanna had noticed the burly figure standing in the darkness.

A terrifying body, the posture of returning from the fire did not look like it was still standing here alive in any way, but this body was standing so calmly in the darkness, looking at this side with a calm gaze, and the remaining fragments of clothing on the body showed the identity of this body.

An inexplicable "connection" appeared in her mind, and Vana was in a trance for a moment, and she was already sure that this figure she met for the first time was the captain.

"Mr. Duncan," she came to Duncan, and couldn't help but look the other party up and down again, although she knew that the captain used the "avatar" that was occupied when he acted in the city-state, but she couldn't help frowning a little when she saw the state of this avatar, "Your body ......"

"Actually, it's not bad—it might look a little scary on the outside," Duncan said in a deep voice, "It's a matter of luck to find an avatar that's in good shape and fits well, and it's better than the 'sacrifice' you saw in the sewers." ”

Vanna immediately recalled something not very good, the corners of her eyes seemed to tremble, and her voice was very low: "...... I don't really want to remember. ”

Duncan smiled, looked up at Alice, who was still looking around, and beckoned, "Don't look around, come over and help—do you have everything with you?" ”

Alice came back to her senses at this time, and hurriedly ran to Duncan in three or two steps, while raising the small box she was carrying in her hand: "Take it, take it!" The clothes are also bandaged...... Wow! Captain, your face is so dark......"

Duncan ignored the doll's fuss, but took the suitcase he had brought, opened it, and examined the contents: a long black trench coat that was suitable for concealing the details of his body, a wide stand-up collar that could cover his eyes and neck, a wide-brimmed top hat that was also black, gloves, shoes, some bandages, some cash, and a neatly folded map of the city-state.

Duncan raised an eyebrow - things were more thoughtful than expected.

In order to adjust to this new body, he put most of his consciousness on this side, and did not pay much attention to the situation on the ship, and when he asked the goat head to send a message to Alice, he only said that he wanted to prepare clothes and bandages, and other things including cash...... It doesn't seem to be something that Alice's mind can actively think of.

"Mr. Tirion helped prepare," Alice took the initiative to explain before Duncan could ask, "he heard that you were going to be operating on the city-state's side, so he asked me to bring it with me - oh yes, and he also asked me to tell you that the map is up-to-date, and the red mark on it is the secret contact point of the Sea Mist Fleet, with some lines...... Line or something......"

"The informant is a living member of the outer perimeter of the Sea Mist Fleet," Duncan said casually, with some emotion in his tone, "and will not set foot on the land of frost again...... His eyes had never left the city, and he was close to setting foot on it himself. ”

"Oh yes, informant," Alice nodded repeatedly, then asked as she poked her head into the contents of the box, "do these things work?" ”

Duncan bowed slightly: "It can come in handy, Tirion is attentive." ”

As he spoke, he had already picked up the bandages, raised his hand and handed them to Vana next to him: "Help—you know how to get it, right?" ”

Vanna thought of Duncan's intentions when she saw the contents of the box, and she took the bandage, but before wrapping it around the captain, she asked, "Is this really okay?" I think it's still a little too eye-catching......"

"Just block it, I don't plan to settle in the frost with this appearance," Duncan said as he cooperated with Vanna's movements, "Just walk down the street without inviting the sheriff, if you encounter a situation where it is really inconvenient to move, you and Morris will need to help." ”

"Okay." Vanna nodded, and at the same time began to wrap the bandage around Duncan's body with her hands and feet, her movements were skillful, and she had obviously done similar things more than once.

On the front lines of the fight against heresy, healing wounds is as common and inevitable as breathing.

Alice watched Vana busy with her work, and seemed a little eager to try: "Can I help?" ”

Duncan tilted his head slightly to look at the doll of more than 1.6 meters, and then looked at Fanna, who was 1.9 meters in front of him.

Then he looked down at his body, which should also be more than 1.9 meters now.

"Forget it, you will raise your head and fall off again," he refused the puppet, and at the same time asked uneasily, "Don't forget that this is a city-state, and it's a frost city-state, pay attention to disguise, not only don't fall off your wig and head, but also don't take off the veil on your face, remember?" Your face here is easy to scare middle-aged and elderly people over the age of 50. ”

Alice immediately agreed: "Remember! ”

Duncan nodded slightly, and then his gaze fell on Vanna.

To act in the unfamiliar frost, of course, she can no longer be the eye-catching outfit of that armor + giant sword, in order to facilitate activities in the city, she has now changed into regular clothes.

A women's gray waist-cinching long trench coat, black leather boots and trousers underneath, and long gray and white hair still casually draped behind her head, she still looks as heroic as usual, but without the armor and giant sword, this posture looks a little softer.

It's just that after all, the height of 1.9 meters is here, and her dress may not attract interrogation, but it is still impossible to keep a low profile.

As he thought about it, the bandages had wrapped around the holes, and layers were wrapped around the unrecognizable skull.

With the exception of his eyes and a relatively intact patch of skin near his left eye, his entire face was eventually covered.

He then put on the black trench coat with a high stand-up collar, shoes, gloves, and a wide-brimmed top hat.

Fortunately, this body is very burly, and the various sizes are almost the same as their own body, and these things are very suitable to wear.

Duncan finished his clothes and carefully buttoned the long trench coat to the last.

He couldn't see what he looked like now, but he could imagine it.

A long black trench coat that covered the entire body, a wide-brimmed hat and collar that hid his face, black leather gloves, and layers of bandages that loomed between the gaps in the hood.

He thought for a moment and turned his head to look at the young inquisitor who was standing quietly on the side: "Fanna, you tell the truth......"

Vanna sighed, "Inexperienced sheriffs and guards will probably stop you for questioning at the first opportunity. ”

Duncan was silent for a moment: "...... And what about the experienced? ”

"They're going to call for backup."

Duncan: "......"

"Well, it's not that serious," Vana suddenly laughed and shook her head, "The above situation is limited to the core city with a high security level - there is plenty of garrison there, and if it is a normal city, you should not be in trouble." That's my judgment based on Plant's situation, but it should be about the same in the frost. The only thing I have to worry about is probably your bandage......"

"Bandages should be a better disguise," Vana said before Morris next to her suddenly spoke, "These bandages may just be able to avoid a lot of trouble." ”

Duncan cast his gaze: "Huh? ”

"Frost is primarily believed in the god of death, and the customs and symbols associated with death are characteristic here, and devout believers will even deliberately add bandages and other decorations to their clothes, which is also present in the daily attire of the priests," Morris said as he pondered, "At best, you may be considered a death believer with a more peculiar manners." ”

Listening to the old gentleman's introduction, Fanna couldn't help blinking: "These details...... I didn't know about it. I only know the dogmas and related taboos of the other tri-god churches. ”

Morris laughed: "It is difficult to understand the specific customs and habits of each city-state without research. ”

Duncan looked at the old scholar, "Are these things that your 'old friend' communicated to you?" ”

Morris was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "Yes—Brown Scott is a good folklorist, and he has traveled all his life in the many city-states of the central and north, especially Frost and Cold Harbor, and he has written me many letters about the peculiar customs and beliefs here. ”
