A high-speed exploration ship with a pristine white hull suddenly floated out of the sea—its side almost brushing the stern of the Sea Mist, and the violent waves of the water caused both ships to shake violently.

Even the undead sailors were screaming in amazement at this situation.

Tirion rushed to the deck, where he saw his men running towards the stern, first mate Aiden's sleek head standing out from the side, and at the end of the deck was the "uninvited guest" almost clinging to the Sea Mist.

"What the hell is going on?"

Tirien took a few steps to Aden's side, squeezing the latter's shoulders and asking loudly.

"I don't know, it's a ship that came out of nowhere—I almost gave the order to fire a cannon on my mind," Aiden said quickly, "everyone is still nervous, everyone is nervous about the 'thing that comes out of the sea,' and that thing came out......"

Tirion let go of the first mate and sped towards the stern, and by the time he arrived, dozens of people had gathered on the deck, nervous sailors with long guns and short cannons pointing at the opposite side, and several sailors were already in position near the close defense guns at the stern, and the atmosphere was tense as if sparks were about to emerge from the air.

Tirion looked across the parapet again, and saw a large group of sailors running out of another ship close by, dressed as ordinary seamen on civilian ships, and others waving flags on the stern platform, looking as flustered as the Sea Mize.

Tirien frowned, and just as he wanted to identify the ship opposite, he heard a screeching sound from the horn activation, followed by a neutral voice from the radio on the opposite ship:

"I'm very sorry, this is the White Oak, which belongs to the Lost Fleet, and our ship performed the first operation of the Spirit Realm to float, and almost rammed your ship due to a mistake...... Repeat, this is the White Oak, part of the Lost Fleet......"

Listening to the sound of the radio on the other side, the expression on Tirian's face instantly stiffened, and Aiden, who had just run from behind, almost slipped under his feet, and the bald man's head seemed to be oozing bright beads of sweat, and his voice was a little out of tune: "Captain, right...... What do you say on the other side? Who do they say they are? ”

Tyrion didn't speak, and the first thing that came to mind was the reminder that popped up before he broke off contact with his father just now, and the strange smile before the illusion in the mirror dissipated.

The expression on his face changed subtly twice, and then out of the corner of his eye, he saw something again, and he went to the edge of the deck and looked down.

The reflection of the White Oak was reflected in the water, but what was reflected in it was a ghost ship wrapped in darkness and smoke.

He finally remembered where he had seen the somewhat familiar ship.

In the previous fierce battle in the fog, the ship that swept across the battlefield like the wind, and no one knew the origin of the ship—now they met again.

At this time, the sailors on the ship also noticed the special reflection of the strange ship on the other side in the seawater, and Aiden also recalled the origin of the other party, and he looked up at Tirian in disbelief: "Captain, they are the old captain's ......"

“…… Father always has his plan," Tirien's eyes twitched visibly, but he tried to calm his expression as he spoke, "To be honest, I really didn't expect anyone to be generous enough to call themselves members of the 'Lost Fleet' on the radio in this era...... Where did my father find these guys? ”

"Maybe they know where the Sea Mist came from?" Aiden said uncertainly, "What are we going to do?" Say hello to them? Invite them to the ship? Gotta figure out what they're trying to do......"

Tyrion suddenly felt a toothache.

"Call publicly by radio, ask them to send a representative, and tell them to stop shouting over the radio about the Lost Fleet, there is more than one ship in the port area," said the soon-to-be "great pirate" helplessly, and then added, "by the way, tell the harbor side again, let them not be nervous—they must have seen the White Oak suddenly emerging from the sea." ”

At this juncture, the things that suddenly appear out of the sea are really scary.

"Yes, Captain."

Aiden took the order to leave.

After some time, the Sea Mist finally established normal communication with the eccentric "White Oak", and after a brief exchange of views and explanations, the other party agreed to the invitation to send a representative on board to talk.

It wasn't long before Tirion met with the representative on the other side—a tall, thin man in a seaman's uniform, with short brown hair and a slightly curly brown hair, who looked shrewd and capable, and arrived aboard the Sea Mist with a young priest.

"Hello, Captain Tirien—I've heard of your deeds for a long time," the middle-aged man stepped onto deck, and with a bright, friendly smile on his face, he held out his hand to Tirien, "I'm First Officer Gus of the White Oak, and next to me is our Priest, Mr. Jensen. ”

Tirion was a little confused, because he never expected that such a person would come down from the strange "twin phantom ship" that could travel through various anomalous seas such as mirror images and spirit realms.

A normal person with a bright smile, flesh and blood, friendly and warm, and physically and mentally healthy.

Neither mad nor insane, physically intact, with no signs of mental problems or physical mutations at all - is this the new addition to the Lost Fleet? Someone who is favored by a father?

Despite the many doubts that crossed his mind, Tirion subconsciously reached out and shook the hand of the first mate.

"Tirien Abnomar, captain of the Sea Mist, probably doesn't need much introduction," he said, looking at the "sunny and normal man" in front of him who claimed to be the first mate of the White Oak, and his eyes were still suspicious, "You said you were...... A member of the Lost Fleet? ”

"Yes, new members." The first mate Gus said with a smile, and at the same time looking at the famous "big pirate" in front of him, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Although One-Eyed is a bit scary, his overall attitude is quite friendly, his eyes are calm and rational, and his body does not show a terrible mutilated posture like the undead around him, and he does not look at all like a madman with mental problems or a madman polluted by an ancient god.

This is Captain Duncan's eldest son? Why can't you see that there is a mental problem?

When the two members of the "Lost Fleet in the broad sense" met for the first time, they doubted the mental state of the other side at the same time, and then invariably put away the unfriendly thoughts in their hearts and smiled at each other.

"I've seen you on the battlefield before," Tirion was the first to break the somewhat awkward silence, "you roared through the fog at the time, and it was impressive. ”

"We were on the order to go to Mirror Frost," explained First Mate Gus, "after all, we can't afford to delay a big thing. ”

"Father's order?" Tirion said casually, and then his gaze fell on the young priest named Jensen, and his eyes were a little subtle, "You also have a priest on board...... Is the Deep Sea Church already so inclusive? ”

Pastor Jensen's expression was a little embarrassed, and he shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "At least for now, the goddess has not sent down the punishment. ”

"Don't you have a chapel on board too?" First mate Gus glanced up at the striking shipboard church at the stern of the ship.

“…… Quite right. ”

Tiriam choked and smiled awkwardly, but at the same time something else came to his mind—

On the Lost Country, there seems to be a "priest" lady from the Orthodox God Church.

Father even brought Plain's inquisitors on board, so it didn't seem strange that there were some chaplains on board in the "lost fleet"?

Realizing that it was best for him not to delve too deeply into the secrets of the realm of the "gods", Tirion quickly extinguished his associations in this regard, and instead straightened his expression, and asked curiously, "What is the task of you rushing to 'float' here?" ”

"Oh, we're here to meet our captain." First mate Gus hastened to explain.

"Your captain?"

"Captain Lawrence led a team of marines into the mirror world to fight, and then returned to the real-world city-state with the Frost Gatekeeper, and we just received the news that he is returning to the ship," the first mate Gus patiently explained, "but there seems to be a little trouble over there, and Lady Martha ordered us to float up to answer the ......"

"In trouble?" Tirion subconsciously frowned, and was about to ask for some details when he saw his boatswain walking briskly from the side.

The boatswain came to his side, whispering and reporting quickly.

The expression on Tirien's face grew subtle.

The first mate Gus noticed this and couldn't help but speak: "May I ask if it happened......"

"Is your captain an old man in a white coat, about fifty or sixty years old, who looks like a ghost?"

First mate Gus was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant: "He ...... Normally it doesn't look like a ghost, but everything else is right. ”

"That's right," Tirion spread his hands, "your captain has led a dozen heavily armed ghost sailors and a whirring corpse around Uptown, and now they've been 'invited' into the sheriff's office, if that's right, they're lost, and they don't seem to know how to 'turn off' the spirit flames on their bodies, so they've caused panic among the citizens. ”

Gus: "Ah......hhhhh

"But don't worry, the sheriff knows that they are not enemies, because there are witnesses who see them fighting monsters in the city-state and covering the city-state guards, they will not be in trouble."

"Forehead ......"

"Besides, the gatekeeper and archbishop, Lady Agatha, has gone to meet them, and with the cathedral as a vouch, your captain should be able to return soon."

"Oh......"

"In the future, try not to casually disclose your identity as a member of the 'Lost Fleet', mainly ...... This identity is sensitive. ”

“…… Good. ”
