A strange word that had never been heard before came into my ears, and its mysterious and awkward pronunciation did not even resemble any language Tirian knew!
He looked down at the document in astonishment, and looked at the stone ball described with meticulous brushstrokes on it. After a long time, he looked up: "Father? What did you just say? The moon...is the name of this thing? Do you know it?" This mysterious sphere?”
Duncan seemed not to have heard anything, and was still staring at the image of the moon on the paper that was particularly familiar to him, until Tirian asked twice in a row~~
He seemed to suddenly wake up~~Looking at Tirian, he quickly said: "What on earth did you mention about Lucretia just now?"
"Um...this is the information she sent from the Brilliant Star," Tirian said hesitantly.
His father's strange reaction made him feel uneasy, but at that moment,
Under the pressure of others' gazes, he still told everything he knew.
Some time ago, a mysterious luminous object fell from the border area, and it happened to be discovered by Lucy. She had been studying that thing for a while. This weird sphere was the core of the falling object. Tirian explained the cause and effect of the whole incident. In the past, including the current scholars from Qingfeng Port, the
The judgment that the falling object came from Vision 001, all the current research progress on the stone balls, and the various difficulties they encountered were all told!
During his narration, Duncan did not interrupt even once. The latter just listened quietly with an unusually serious silence that made Tyree feel pressured, as if he wanted to engrav every word deeply in his mind. In my mind, I took every word apart, crushed it, and dissected it a thousand times!
After more than ten minutes, the dome office became quiet again.
Duncan was silent for a long time, and finally exhaled softly before the air gradually became solid:
"Why didn't you mention this to me before?"
"Lucy hopes to contact you after the research has made some progress, and more importantly... we are in the midst of a frost crisis at that time!"
After a while, Duncan felt his pounding heart slowly calm down. Listening to Tirian's words, he finally nodded lightly: "This thing is in Qingfeng Port now, right?"
"Uh... yes" Tirian nodded quickly. He felt that his lips were a little dry. At the same time, he paid more and more attention to the changes in his father's expression. After hesitating several times, he couldn't help but ask again.
"Do you know this mysterious sphere?"
"It's called the moon, at least it looks like it, but the moon I know is not ten meters in diameter, and it's even less likely to float on the sea and be towed back to the city-state by a ship using a steel cable." Duncan said slowly.
Maybe it's just some kind of man-made object that imitates its appearance, maybe it's just the ancient kingdom of Crete...
He stopped mid-sentence. The huge sense of contradiction and the conflict with the chaotic thoughts in his mind made it impossible for him to explain this matter with a guess. In any case, one thing is undoubtedly~
The information picture in Tirian's hand is indeed the moon, regardless of whether the stone ball Lucretia picked up on the sea is the "real" moon or an artificial flying object created by the Critik Kingdom to imitate the moon.
There is always a question: Why does the image of the moon that I am familiar with appear here? Why does it appear in this strange and twisted world?
In the midst of his thoughts, he frowned and looked at Tirian: "You just said that the scholars of Qingfeng Port have determined that the mysterious luminous body fell off from the rune ring of Vision 001?"
"Yes!"
They have identified the shape of the gap in the Sun Rune Ring. Tirian said.
Then another question arose, "You said it's called the moon"... So what exactly is the moon?
Duncan hesitated for a moment, suddenly realizing that he didn't have the right words to explain such a simple name to Tirian.
After thinking for a long time, I could only say, "It is a planet!"
When Tirian heard this, the confusion on his face became more obvious: "What is a planet?"
Duncan fell silent!
After a long time, he heard Tirian's voice again: "Is this a taboo question? Am I asking too many questions?"
"No, this is not a taboo ~ it... should be the simplest question, but I can't explain it to you." Duncan shook his head gently and looked at the opposite side of the mirror with a complicated look, "Sorry, Tirian. The answer to the question is simple ~ but getting you to understand it is the biggest difficulty!”
Tirian was a little stunned!
Looking at the complicated and apologetic expression in the mirror, my father suddenly felt that... this scene seemed to have happened a long, long time ago, deep in the distant and hazy memory, on a faded afternoon...
That day, he and Lucretia stood on the deck of the Lost Home for the last time, asking 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 now. It was like he knew some extremely simple truth but didn't know how to explain it to others!
At this moment, Duncan's voice came from the mirror, interrupting Tirian's sinking memories: "I have changed my plan. Next, the Homeless Ship will go to Breeze Port!"
As expected.
When his father reacted like that when facing the sphere called the moon, Tirian knew that things would develop like this!
"I understand~ I will explain the situation to Lucy."
Nina looked worriedly at Duncan who was standing on the edge of the deck in the distance looking at the sea. Alice passed by her and was stopped by her!
"Uncle Duncan what's going on?"
Nina lowered her voice. He had been looking into the distance since just now, looking like he had a lot on his mind...
I don't know, Alice looked up and shook her head with a confused expression.
"That's what happened when Chuan Cong came out of the boat room. He said he wanted to think about something."
Thinking about something?
Nina blinked in confusion.
What happened? Alice recalled carefully and nodded: "He was in contact with Tirian, but I don't know what they said!"
"Mr. Tyrion?" Nina was stunned, and then began to use her full imagination. The expression on her face gradually became weird. Is it because Mr. Tyrion is not married either?
Alice looked confused: "Ah? What does this mean?
"
Nina thought for a while and began to analyze seriously: "I heard from Mr. Morris that he is often worried about Sister Heidi's marriage, and Mr. Tirian is older than Miss Heidi, so Chuan Che must be more worried about this. "
"Alice was so stunned that she nodded in confusion!"
As soon as the words finished here, Duncan's voice suddenly came from next to the II person: "You're almost done, Nina can't tease Alice like this, she will take it seriously."
Nina was immediately startled, and then she noticed that Uncle Duncan had come to her side at some point. Alice scratched her hair in confusion and looked at Nina in confusion: "You were just teasing 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 she still looked worried.
"Uncle Duncan, what happened? You rarely look so worried..."
Duncan didn't know how to answer the girl's question for a moment. What came to his mind was still the picture he had seen in Tirian's office before.
As well as the strange ball that Lucretia "picked up" at the sea, he raised his hand and pinched the swollen forehead.
, but his movements suddenly stopped the next second, and instead looked steadily at the girl in front of him. Nina stood there obediently, with a worried expression on her face!
Duncan looked at her, at this still, gentle, and well-behaved little Youer, under the body of a human girl.
He seemed to be able to directly see the bright light left behind after the star shattered, and the dazzling plasma heat flow that once spewed out in the universe... The little Ur tilted his head and stretched out his hand~~ caressing Duncan The frowned brows seemed to want to smooth those deep ravines.
"Uncle Duncan, are you really okay?"
Duncan didn't speak, he just gently grabbed Nina's hand and put it against his forehead. Then he slowly exhaled. He understood something again. Behind the thick curtain, the world was revealed to him again. A corner of the truth, but he has no one to share it with!
"Don't worry~~Nina is fine."
He spoke slowly, gradually regaining his normal appearance. "I have encountered some problems, but it is difficult to explain them to you at the moment. When I solve the problems, I will explain them to you!"
Nina listened carefully, then nodded vigorously: "Yes!
"
Very good, let's go back to the cabin first. It's time for us to set off, but before we set off, we have to take a detour to the base of the Sea Mist Fleet. We have to help Tirian carry something...
Frost City-In the archon's dome office, with a slight buzzing sound, the crystal ball gradually lit up, and the figure of the "Sea Witch" emerged in the dim light.
"Brother?" Lucretia looked here curiously, "Have you finished your work over there? Is it going well?"
If you're talking about the inauguration, the morning was over and all went well.
Tirian said, his face gradually became complicated, but I am looking for you for other reasons!
Lucretia frowned: "Something else?"
"II things" Tirian hesitated for a moment, then spoke while drinking. The first thing is, the spiritual world lens you want has been prepared for you. I have obtained it for you through the legal channels of the city-state with the highest quality and highest accuracy. Lens device!
Lucretia's face in the crystal ball instantly showed a happy look: "Ah, that's great, you are quite reliable. What about the second thing?"
Second thing: Who do you think is going to give you the lens?
"Is it your transport ship?" Tirian remained silent, and Lucretia's expression finally changed: "Is it your transport ship?"
Tirian remained silent!
Lucretia reacted to her father.
"right!
"
