Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 141 Two Guests
In Duncan's perception, Fanna's aura is rapidly approaching this antique shop, and she doesn't move forward in a straight line, but often changes directions in the middle, and there are even abnormal pauses.

What is a judge who has lived in the upper city for a long time suddenly running to the antique shop in the lower city?And the trajectory of the action is so weird?
The moment the breath of the young deep-sea judge appeared in his perception, Duncan frowned slightly, and then subconsciously glanced at Shirley.

Could it be for Shirley?The Church of the Deep Sea finally discovered that there is a "summoner" who is walking with the deep demon hidden in the city?Or is it directed at yourself?But I am very careful in my daily actions, and there is absolutely no clue left that can point to the Lost Homeland, and if the sky is broken, the original identity of the Sun Cultist of this body will be exposed... Then it will not alarm a majestic judge, right?
The track that was approaching quickly and in a roundabout way is definitely not like just passing by in a leisurely stroll, but more like it has a strong purpose.

Thoughts in his heart fluctuated instantly, Duncan glanced at Nina who was reading next to him calmly, got up and walked towards the gate of the antique shop.

Shirley on the side noticed his actions and followed subconsciously: "Mr. Duncan? What happened..."

"Stay in the store." Duncan took a look at Shirley, who should be classified as a "heretic" no matter what, and told her to stay where she was, and then came to the door of the store, looking in the direction of the breath coming from her perception .

Then he knew why Fanna's breath approached so quickly——

They came by car.

A dark gray car driven by a steam engine creaked to a stop in front of the antique shop. The door opened and two people stepped out from above. One was Fan Na, who was still very tall despite wearing regular clothes, and the other was Ms. Heidi, a psychiatrist who had met once before.

Duncan: "..."

He reflected a little bit on the messy brain-filling behavior in his mind after he sensed a breath approaching quickly, and felt that he shouldn't think about everything related to Chaofan so that the white clothes come and go like the wind. Now thinking about Fanna just now Those short pauses during the approach should be waiting for traffic lights...

Then he saw the lady psychiatrist beckoning to him very energetically, and greeted him happily: "Mr. Duncan!"

The corners of Duncan's mouth trembled. When he saw Fanna wearing regular clothes, he knew he was thinking too much, but he deliberately took a second look at the judge when he went up to him, and expressed his astonishment appropriately. :"this is……"

"Ah, you must have recognized her, there is no one in this city who doesn't know her—our venerable judge, Miss Vanna Wayne," Heidi said with a three-pointed smile, "but today she You are on vacation, just relax—she is my friend, after hearing about what happened in the museum, she insisted on coming over to thank you..."

"Friend?" Duncan's surprise this time has a sense of reality, which is indeed something he did not expect, "I really did not expect that you would bring such a big man..."

"It's a bit too much to say 'big man', Mr. Duncan," Fanna seemed to be looking at the antique shop manager in front of her calmly since just now, and then she smiled, her voice was slightly hoarse and low, with a trace of Magnetic texture—but for Duncan, this is not the first time he heard the voice of the lady judge, "Just treat me as an ordinary guest, just like Heidi said, I am on vacation today— —I am here today, mainly to thank you for saving Heidi in the museum, and to learn about some things by the way... Please rest assured, it is not a formal question."

understand something?
The expression on Duncan's face did not change, but he maintained his usual friendly smile. He turned sideways and greeted two special visitors to enter the store: "Then don't stand at the door, please come in—it just so happens that the store is deserted today. Let's have some fun."

As he spoke, he walked towards the antique shop. After entering the door, he first saw Shirley who was poking her head and paying attention to the movement outside. He rubbed the girl's hair casually: "Calm down later."

Shirley was stunned: "Calm down..."

In the next second, she knew why she had to calm down.

She saw the lady judge, who was at the pinnacle of force in the Puland city-state church, stepping in. The big sister who was over 1.9 meters tall walked in front of the little man who was less than 1.6 meters tall. oppression.

Xue Li almost subconsciously said: "Wow...wow, you are so tall!"

Fan Na subconsciously stopped, glanced at the girl standing beside her with a strange expression and tense muscles, and nodded friendly: "Hello."

"Her name is Shirley," Duncan said casually, "Helping in my shop, she was also there when the museum had an accident before, Miss Heidi should have mentioned it to you."

"Are you Shirley?" Fan Na nodded, matching the description in her head with the real person in front of her, "You are indeed a cute little sister."

At this time, Nina, who was reading a book by the counter, also heard the commotion here. After running over, the first thing she saw was Fanna who was astonishingly tall. She recognized the famous Miss Judge, and at the same time sent a message Exclaimed like Shirley.

"...that's why I don't like to go out with you," Heidi, who was standing behind Fanna, who hadn't been noticed by Nina for a long time, finally couldn't help making a sound, "You will attract all the attention when you go there It’s over—I’m the protagonist today, okay?”

"But I don't want to use this method to attract people's attention." Fan Na glanced at her friend blankly, "I have tried my best to look as ordinary as possible today."

"...Forget it, I'm used to it." Heidi sighed, then greeted Nina and Shirley respectively, and then took out the door-to-door gift she carried with her, and handed it to Duncan.

"I don't know what you like, but you can't visit empty-handed to thank you. This is what my father asked me to hand over to you. He said that someone like you who has extensive research and is interested in history and occultism should like it." this."

"It's too polite, it was just a matter of little effort at the time," Duncan said politely, while reaching out to accept the gift brought by the other party. It was a wooden box that looked like it had been around for a long time. He opened the lid on the spot and saw Afterwards, there was some doubts about the things inside, "This is..."

It was a book, a beautifully bound and valuable book, which seemed to be a good thing that decent scholars in the upper city would keep at home. On the dark purple hard cover, there was a line of beautiful cursive letters :

"Cities and Gods"

"This is a book collected by my father, which is hard to find in the market now—his author is Mr. Maldino Victor, a great naturalist and theologian a century ago," Heidi said with a smile. "A book describing the historical changes of the city-state era and the influence of various gods, including the Four Gods, on civilized society. He said that you should like this aspect."

Duncan silently looked at the exquisite works in the box, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Of course, I really like it. Thank you, old Mr. Morris, for my kindness."

After some politeness and acquaintance, there were no customers today anyway, so Duncan simply closed the door of the antique shop, and then used the fairly spacious first floor as a place to receive guests.

Nina went to move two chairs, Duncan made the best coffee in the store for two guests, Shirley pretended to tidy up the shelves, but actually found a corner to reduce her sense of presence, Fanna looked at it curiously In this seemingly ordinary shop, Heidi has already started to put her "medicine kit" on the counter with ease, and at the same time said to Nina: "Let's get straight to the point, I heard that you have been Plagued by nightmares and often in a trance?"

"Ah, it's not actually a nightmare, it's just a continuous strange dream..." Nina didn't expect Miss Heidi to have such a resolute personality. A very high place, like a tower, and then saw that several blocks under my feet had been burned to ashes, but nothing terrible appeared..."

"Stop," Heidi made a gesture, and said casually while opening the medicine box, "The repeated scenes, heights, fires, there are no scary concrete things, but the frequent visits of the dream itself lead to mental fatigue that cannot be relieved... Let me see..."

Nina took a look at Heidi's medicine box, and saw the adzes, axes, saws and bottles and jars at first glance, and immediately shrank her neck: "That...Miss Heidi...can I not treat it? , Actually, I don't think my condition is that bad..."

Duncan also saw what was in Heidi's medicine chest, and his eyebrows twitched: "Forgive me—is this really something that is needed for mental treatment?"

Is this elegant and gentle lady doctor in front of me a psychiatrist or a veterinarian? !
