Chapter 501: Make a ...... Before Leaving it?
For the "fake Agatha" born in the mirror image, her life is divided into two distinct parts, one part is warm, bright, and full, full of all her love, hatred and ties to this world~~ In essence, it is just a lie made up and entered into her mind, and the other part is only three days, full of pressure, exhaustion, pain, and finally liberation from death, but that is the only memory that really belongs to her~ And now, go
The dead return to the world~ The fake has a chance to go on.
The problem in front of her is that the former is nostalgic, but destined to be unwanted, and after a long time, all regrets will turn into resentment, and the latter's real but thin, pale and short life is not enough for her to survive as a complete "person".
Duncan's boat Chang gave her a reminder before this doomed difficult disagreement came, and after thinking about it for a long time, she came to a conclusion, leaving and frost, the dark and cold deep sea was terrifying, but the "diving" process itself made her discover for the first time that there was another possibility in "life~~ Just like Chuanchang described to her in the submersible.
We grope our way forward in the endless darkness of civilization itself, just a delicate and fragile sampan ~ the light illuminates the sampan around, and we use the crude wisdom of mortals to try to understand the glimpses that emerge in the darkness ~ to guess what the world looks like.
"Most people spend their entire lives huddled in a safe corner of the sampan, but someone has to be responsible for the bow of the boat and the head of the ship, and to look into the distance.
This is a road that is destined to move forward forever, because the unknown is a one-way concept ~ where to go.... Maybe I can try.
Agatha in the mirror said calmly, and the black dress on her body, which represented the identity of the gatekeeper, had quietly changed at some point, turning into a set of clothes like an adventurer at sea.
Some of them looked like Martha's dress, but there were some traces of the church representing death, she raised her hand and took off the hat that symbolized the clergy, and let her hair fall down, and the bandage that wrapped her whole body slowly faded slowly~~She raised her head~~ Looking at Duncan with a hint of a smile, there is no real past~~ But I can have a real future.
Let those precious memories lie quietly in the past, so that at least when I recall them in the future, they will still be bright and warm, and not tainted by human weakness.
This dress was designed by Martha Nutu for me~ What do you think?
Duncan looked at Agatha in the mirror, and after a long time, he nodded very seriously, "It's very suitable~"
"Do you think I need to change my name again?" Agatha said again.
If you're going to take a new path from here, shouldn't you start with the name and make some changes?
Duncan was silent for a long time this time, but after thinking about it for a long time~~ he still shook: "No need~ I think it's good that you're still called Agatha~"
"Why?"
"Because I'm used to it, it's inconvenient to change my name~"
Duncan replied casually.
"I can tell the difference between 'you' anyway."
You can distinguish between yourselves.
Agatha in the mirror looked at Duncan deeply: "This doesn't seem to be your real answer, but it's enough to convince me, and it just so happens that I like this name a lot~ Just leave the last bit of remembrance for your 'past'"
Duncan nodded: "Hmm~ It's good that you can think so."
"Have you already arranged the situation on the other side of the city-state?" Agatha asked again~~
Do you really plan to be a 'cemetery warden' in Frost from now on?
Duncan raised his eyebrows: "Is there anything bad about this position?"
"There's nothing bad about it, but it feels strange to think that 'Captain Duncan', who is like a shadow of subspace in the eyes of many people, would guard a cemetery in the city-state~ It feels strange."
In the mirror, Agatha spoke frankly of her thoughts, "But as long as you are willing, of course it is good, and I am afraid that there will be no safer place in the future than that cemetery." ”
"I think it's good that I also run an antique shop in Plande, and it's a good way to regulate my mind by maintaining my activities in a civilized society." Duncan smiled.
"What's more, it also costs to maintain the life of an incarnation in the city-state~ Being a caretaker in the cemetery is at least a share..."Duncan suddenly stopped, he slowly raised his head, looked at the "gatekeeper" in the mirror and asked solemnly: "The cathedral will give me this 'new guard'
Is it paid?
Agatha also reacted until this time: "You still need a salary?"
"You don't pay your salary?"
"Ah, of course the normal situation is issued, and the new funds for the cemetery guards are directly issued by the cathedral......"
Agatha said with a strange expression, "But it's not normal for a subspace shadow to run to the cemetery as a guard~ I strongly recommend that you go to the cathedral and talk to another Agatha about this seriously, because according to what I know about myself~ If you don't take the initiative to mention it, she will never think or dare to think about it."
Duncan: "Is that outrageous?"
The string of numbers you wrote at the end of your whistleblower letter almost drove a room full of cryptographers and mathematicians crazy.
Later, when transferring money to your bank account, the cathedral even set up a special secret action team to pay attention to the changes in the spirit world, when you deal with ordinary people as a shadow of the subspace, please consider the three views of most normal human beings.
The corners of Duncan's mouth twitched, and he rubbed his forehead: "Okay~ Say I understand"
Agatha seemed to be relieved~~ Then asked curiously, since the frost situation has been decided, what are your plans next?
Who of me is going to return to the Central Sea~~ According to some archaeological information provided by Morris, go along the route to see those ancient ruins and strange seas that interest me, and if you can, get close to or even enter some areas that are classified as anomalies, and explore as much as possible to understand this world, Duncan obviously had a plan, and immediately talked about his exploration plan with great interest.
"In this process~~ continue to maintain contact with the civilized world, and by the way, see how the major churches react to my warning~ If they are interested, I don't mind dealing with those mysterious church arks again.."
"Sounds like a desirable adventure~~ Agatha's tone was cheerful and expectant.
It's full of risks, but I have to go~~ Look at Xiangzi, my decision is correct, so will we set off now? Or do you need to do a little more preparation?
"Don't rush to build, you have to arrange the White Oak first~~ And you have to talk to Tirien" Duncan laughed.
"He should have returned to the top office by this time, and I should go to say hello to him."
"Understood
, then I won't bother. Agatha lowered her head, her figure fading from the mirror, and at the same time, in the round office of the Frost Chamber, Tirien had arrived
The last department representative~ He changed out of the gorgeous but uncomfortable coat that was used to attend the ceremony~~ Put back on the usual clothes~~ Sitting behind the public table, he breathed a sigh of relief~~ Next~ There will be a short break to prepare for the rest of the day~ Managing a city full of messes, even if it is Yuko who is sworn in, he has no chance to interrupt his work~~ This morning's itinerary is "shoehorned" in between normal work Youcheng~~He has to deal with all the delayed affairs in the afternoon and evening~ What's more, what he has to deal with is not only the turmoil of the frost city-state, but also the huge "industry" that the sea mist fleet has operated in the past fifty years~~ The complex and subtle connection between himself and other city-states, the balance of the sea and the relationship between him and his "family"... These add up~~ In fact, it is not easier than the work of the Archon, Tirion let out a long sigh, opened a locked drawer next to his desk, and took out many documents and materials from it, including files related to the Sea Mist Fleet~
There are shared materials from the Bright Star, and there are personal letters from other city-states, and the meaning of the break is that he can temporarily put down the work of the Archon~ to do another pile of work as difficult as the Archon~ Tirion's eyes swept over the pile of things, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and scratch his hair~ I don't know why~ The terrible association that suddenly appeared on the bare head of First Officer Aiden made the new Archon hold back a chill~ and suddenly stopped continuing to grab his hair.
"Aiden's self-shaved back then, Aiden's self-shaved back then... He has regretted it for a century. Tirien muttered quietly~ as if to divert the pressure he felt when facing the pile in front of him~
And at this moment, a slight crackling sound suddenly came from nearby~ Suddenly interrupted his self-talk~~ After a subconscious tremor in his heart~ He quickly calmed down again, and looked up at the mirror on the nearby wall with a fixed face, he was used to it...... Duncan's figure appears in the mirror.
"Son, I'm here to say hello to you, everything is going well?"
"All the best, father~" Tirion stood up, carefully responding to his father's gaze~ but his heart was already much more relaxed than that of Ping Yuri.
"What do you command?"
It's nothing~ It's just that I'm ready to leave...... Duncan stopped abruptly
Come, Tirian looked at his father in the mirror suspiciously~ but saw that the other party was staring at the desktop next to him~ his expression was particularly weird~ There was shock in his expression, and this shock made Tiri feel relieved, and hurriedly followed his father's gaze, but all he saw was a piece of paper that fell out of the pile of documents just now~~ It was sent to him by Lucrecia from the Qiguang Sunday.
It was a "scholarly shared material" Duncan's extraordinarily serious voice came through the mirror, "Tirion, what's that?" Show me a little closer. ”
Yes..... Okay~~ Tirion hurriedly agreed~ Quickly picked up the paper and walked to the mirror~ Show the image on the paper to his father, "Is there anything wrong with this?"
"Where did this pattern come from?"
"It was Lucrecia"
Tirion immediately replied~ There was some nervousness in his tone, he didn't tell you before, she was actually studying something that fell from the sky during this time, but Duncan didn't speak, just stared at the paper, and it took a long time~~ He broke the silence in a soft voice as if he was talking to himself in a dream: "Moon."
