A strange word that I had never heard before, its mysterious and stiff pronunciation didn't even sound like any language Tirion knew!

He looked down at the document in astonishment, looked at the stone ball depicted on it with fine brushstrokes, and raised his head for a long time: "Father? What did you just say? Moon... What's the name of this thing? Do you know this mysterious orb?"

Duncan didn't seem to hear it, still staring at the image of the moon on the paper that made him very familiar, until Tirion asked twice in a row~~

He seemed to wake up suddenly~~ Looking at Tirien, he quickly spoke: "What the hell did you mention about Lucrecia?"

"Uh...... This is the information she sent from the Bright Star," Tirion said hesitantly.

His father's strange reaction disturbed him, but he was there

Under the gaze of the person who felt the pressure, he still told what he knew and discerned.

Some time ago, a mysterious glowing object fell from the border area, just in time to be discovered by Lucy, she has been studying that thing for a while, this strange orb is the core of that falling object, and Tirion tells the whole story of the whole thing, including the current scholars of Breeze

The judgment that the falling object came from Vision 001, all the progress of their research on the stone ball at this stage, and the difficulties they encountered, all said!

In the course of his narration, Duncan did not interject once, and the latter just listened quietly in a strangely serious silence that made Tyri feel pressured, as if he wanted to engrave every sentence in his mind, and dissect every word a thousand times!

After more than ten minutes, the dome office fell silent again.

Duncan was silent for a long time, and finally exhaled softly before the air began to freeze:

"Why didn't you mention this to me before?"

"Lucy would like to contact you until there is some progress in her research, but more importantly... It was a time of frost crisis!"

After a few more moments, Duncan felt his pounding heart slowly calm down, and he finally nodded his head as he listened to Tirion's words, "This thing is now, in Breeze, isn't it?"

"Uh...... Yes" Tirion nodded quickly, feeling his lips dry a little, and at the same time paying more and more nervously to the change in his father's expression, and after hesitating several times, he couldn't help but ask again.

"Do you know this mysterious orb?"

"It's called the moon at least, but the moon I know is not ten meters in diameter, and it is impossible for it to float on the surface of the sea and be dragged back to the city-state by a ship with a steel cable." Duncan said slowly.

Maybe it's just some kind of man-made object that imitates the shape, or maybe it's just the Old Kingdom of Crete......

He stopped halfway through speaking, and the huge sense of contradiction and the chaotic conflict of ideas in his mind made him unable to explain this matter with a conjecture, and there was no doubt about one thing anyway~

The profile image in Tirien's possession was indeed the moon, regardless of whether the stone ball Lucrecia picked up at sea was "real" the moon or an artificial flying object created by the Cretek kingdom in imitation of the moon.

There is a question that has always existed, why did the image of the moon appear here, which I am familiar with? Why does it appear in this weird and twisted world?

In the midst of his thoughts, he frowned and looked at Tirion, "You just said ~~ The scholars of Breezehaven have determined that the mysterious luminous body fell off the rune ring of Vision 001?"

"Yes!"

They had confirmed the pattern of the notch in the ring of the Sun Rune. Tirion said.

Then the question arises, 'You say it's called the moon...... So what exactly is the moon?

Duncan hesitated, then realized that he didn't have the right words to explain such a simple name to Tirien.

After thinking about it for a long time, I could only say, "It's a planet!"

When Tirien heard this, the confusion on his face became more and more obvious: "What is a planet?"

Duncan fell silent!

It was a long time before he heard Tirien's voice sound again, "Is this a taboo question?" Am I asking too much?"

"No, it's not a taboo ~ it'...... It should be the easiest question, but I can't explain it to you" Duncan shook his head lightly and looked across the mirror with a complicated expression, "I'm sorry, Tirion's answer to this question is simple~ but it's the biggest difficulty for you to understand it!"

Tyrion was a little stunned!

Looking in the mirror, his complicated expression, and the apologetic father felt ...... This scene seems to have happened a long, long time ago, in the depths of that long-hazy memory, on a faded afternoon...

On that day, he and Lucrecia stood on the deck of the Lost for the last time, and asked his father, who was determined to cross the border, what was beyond the border!

At that time, my father's reaction was exactly the same as it is now, it was the appearance of knowing some very simple truth, but not knowing how to explain it to others!

At this moment, Duncan's voice came from the mirror, interrupting Tirien's sinking memory: "I've changed my plans, and next, the Lost Country will go to Lighthaven!"

Predictable.

When his father reacted to the orb called the moon, Tyri. Ann knew it was going to turn out like this!

"I see~ I'll explain the situation to Lucy."

Nina looked at Duncan with some concern as she stood on the edge of the deck in the distance and looked out to sea, when Alice passed by and was stopped by her!

"Uncle Duncan, what's wrong?"

Nina lowered her voice, he had been looking into the distance since just now, and it seemed as if he had a lot on his mind......

I don't know, Alice glanced up and shook her head blankly.

"That's it when he comes out of the boat, he says he has to think about something."

Thinking about something?

Nina blinked in confusion.

Did something happen? Alice nodded in earnest recollection, "He's in touch with Tirien, but I don't know, what they said!"

"Mr. Tirien?" Ni was stunned for a moment, and then began to use her imagination to the fullest, and the expression on her face gradually became strange, is it because Mr. Tirion is not married?

Alice looked dazed: "Huh? What does that mean?

”

Nina thought for a moment and began to analyze solemnly: "I have heard Mr. Morris say that he is often worried about Sister Heidi's marriage, and Mr. Tirion is older than Miss Heidi, and Shipper must be more worried about this."

Alice was stunned and nodded confusedly!

As soon as the words fell, Duncan's voice suddenly came from next to the II: "You guys are almost done, Nina can't play tricks on Alice like this, she will take it seriously."

Nina was taken aback for a moment, only then did she notice that Uncle Duncan had come to her side at some point, and Alice scratched her hair in confusion and looked at Nina suspiciously, "You were just playing tricks on me."

"Anyway, don't take what she just said seriously." Duncan said helplessly, and then his eyes fell on Nina, "Don't worry, nothing happened!"

Nina stuck out her tongue, but then looked a little worried.

"Uncle Duncan, what the hell is going on? It's rare that you're so preoccupied..."

Duncan didn't know how to answer the girl's question for a moment, and the picture he had seen in Tirian's office was still in his mind.

and the strange ball that Lucrecia "picked up" at sea, he raised his hand and pinched the center of his somewhat swollen brow

, but in the next second, his movements suddenly stopped, and instead looked at the girl in front of him fixedly, Nina stood there obediently, with a worried expression on her face!

Duncan looked at her, at the still, gentle, well-behaved little Euer, beneath the shell of the human maiden.

It was as if he could directly see the brilliant light that had been left behind after the star shattered, and the torrent of plasma heat that had once gushed dazzlingly in the universe...... Little Eule tilted her head and stretched out her hand forward~~ stroking Duncan's frowning brow, as if trying to smooth out those deep ravines.

"Uncle Duncan, are you really okay?"

Duncan didn't speak, just gently grabbed Nina's hand, put it on his forehead, and then exhaled slowly, he understood something again, behind the thick curtain, the world once again revealed a corner of the truth to him, but this corner of the truth, he had no one to share!

"Don't worry~~ Nina is all right."

He said slowly, and gradually regained the appearance of Ping Yuri, I have encountered some problems, but it is still difficult to explain to you, when I solve the problems, I will tell you well!

Nina listened attentively, then nodded vigorously: "Hmm!

”

Very well, let's go back to the cabin first, we should go, but before we go, we need to make a detour to the Sea Mist Fleet station, and we'll have to carry something for Tirion......

In the Frost City-State ~ Archon's Dome Office, with a slight humming sound, the crystal ball gradually lit up, and the figure of the "Sea Witch" appeared in that faint light.

"Brother?" Lucretia looked at this side curiously, "Are you done over there?" Is it going well?"

If you're talking about the inauguration, the morning is over and everything goes well.

Tirion said, his face getting a little complicated, but I have something else to do with you!

Lucrecia frowned, "Something else?"

"II thing" Tirion hesitated for a moment, and said as he pondered, the first thing, I have prepared the spirit lens you want for you, and I have obtained the best quality and highest precision lens device for you through the legal channels of the city-state!

Lucrecia's face instantly showed a happy look on her face in the crystal ball, "Ah, that's great, you're pretty reliable. And what about the second thing?"

Thing II: Guess who sent you the lens?

"Your transport?" Tirion was silent, and Lucrecia's expression finally changed, "It's your transport, right?"

Tirion was still silent!

Lucrecia reacted to her father.

"That's right!
