Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 162 Another Connection

In the eyes of the owner of the "Rose Doll Hall", the most outstanding puppeteer in the world is a human named Lucrezia Abnomar, who is the daughter of the famous "Captain Duncan".

As soon as the old lady uttered these words, the entire store was silent for several seconds, and then finally Duncan's earth-shattering cough came: "Ahem, ahem..."

"Guest, are you okay?" The shopkeeper was taken aback by Duncan's reaction, just like every elf who has been dealing with short-lived races for a long time, she instantly showed an expression of worrying about the sudden death of the human being in front of her. "Do you need help from a doctor?"

"Cough... I...cough, I'm fine," Duncan finally stopped coughing, but it took a while before he waved his hand to the old lady in front of him—because at the same time, he was going to lose his home. The onboard appeases the cursed doll who was suddenly frightened by him, "I just choked on the saliva suddenly. What did you say just now? Lucreshi..."

"Lucrecia Abnomar, the hostess of the Brilliant Star, one of Captain Duncan's sons and daughters," the owner said with a look on his face, "This is all in the past few years, why are you humans so easy to make a fuss?" " said with an expression, "The most outstanding puppeteer in the world..."

Duncan had managed to catch his breath, but when he heard the old lady's words, he choked another mouthful of saliva into his lungs: "Pfft——"

At the same time, on the deck of the Lost Homelander, Alice, who had just been startled by Duncan's violent cough, was startled again by the other party's "Fuck!" The lady doll, who was holding a large basket of vegetables and fruits, stared dumbfounded. The captain who behaved strangely for some reason today: "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine," Duncan gasped, trying to calm himself down a little bit. After practicing for this period of time, he finally managed to master the two bodies proficiently, but at this moment he was almost in a hurry again. While acting too weirdly, he had no choice but to wave his hand at the puppet in front of him, "Go to the cabin by yourself first, I have something to deal with."

"Are you really okay?" Alice still looked at this side suspiciously, Duncan's face was reflected in her lavender eyes, "Do you want me to check your body, tap your back for smoothness or something..."

"Will you?"

"No."

"Go! Go! Go!"

"Oh."

After finally dismissing the Hanhan doll, Duncan quickly focused his attention on the Puland city-state. He raised his eyes and looked seriously at the slightly fat old elf lady in front of him: "That famous Captain Duncan... is the legendary Ship Lost..."

"Shhh, don't say this name casually!" The store manager quickly interrupted Duncan, "An ordinary person like you doesn't know that if you say the name of such a horrible and cursed name casually, you will be in bad luck! Be careful and look back. That ship will go to your dream!"

"...You're right," Duncan choked, trying to suppress the strange feeling in his heart and nodded, "That captain...not only has a daughter named Lucrecia, but he also has both sons and daughters?"

"That's right, 100 years ago, I've seen them both. His son's name is Tirian Abu Nomar. Later, he became a general with the Frost Queen, but it didn't take long for the Frost Queen. Then they rebelled, and that kid recruited a group of people to become pirates, and his daughter is Lucrecia Abu Nomar, the most outstanding puppeteer..."

The old lady babbled, finally paused, and sighed again: "But this is quite a long time ago, at least for human beings... Few people mention them in Prand. Even in the city-state of the elves, people don't dare to discuss things related to the ship casually, but what's the matter, the brothers and sisters are not crazy like their father, they are still doing well As a captain..."

"Wait a minute!" Duncan stared immediately, "You said they are still alive?!"

"It's alive, it's said that it's cursed by the subspace, it's immortal," the old lady sighed, "It's probably more alive than me..."

Duncan: "..."

"Guest, are you really okay?" The old lady of the shop owner finally couldn't help asking again, "I see that your complexion has not been right since just now, do you not like this topic? It's normal, most human beings don't seem to I like listening to me so much, I dare not listen to it in broad daylight..."

"I dare to listen, I dare to listen," Duncan immediately reacted when he heard this, quickly adjusted his expression and sitting posture, almost staring at the shopkeeper in front of him, "tell me more about the brothers and sisters Things? And you just said...you met both of them?"

"A century ago," the old woman said slowly with reminiscence, "I opened a shop on this street at that time, my brother and sister came to buy things from me, and Lucrezia bought a three-point doll , Tirian paid the money, they were young at that time, and their father...was still a normal human being, oh, don’t mention him, you can’t mention him.

"And then more than ten years later, I met Lucrezia alone on the way to Rensa to communicate with colleagues. At that time, she had become an outstanding puppeteer and mechanics...she A golem driven by a clockwork is something that even I can't make..."

The shopkeeper started talking again, talking about those stories that are considered history to most human beings, but to her, they are just a life memory.

It seems that no matter what race, older people like to talk about it while recalling it. As long as someone starts it, such a topic can never be finished.

Duncan's turbulent mood still hasn't calmed down, but his expression has calmed down. He listened to every word the old woman said, and took these shocking information into his mind word by word.

For ordinary people in the city-state, the cursed captain and his cursed sons and daughters a century ago can only be a distant story, but for an elf who has lived here for centuries, many so-called "secrets" Sin" was only what she had seen in her early years-she said a lot about Lucrecia, and said a few words about Tirian and his "Sea Mist".

But she obviously doesn't know as much about Tirian and the "Sea Mist" as she does about Lucrecia.

"Tirion Abunomare's allegiance to the Frost Queen was half a century ago, not too far from now, and some older humans have heard of it," the shopkeeper casually said. He said, "But that's just what I've heard. A few decades ago, the city-states on the Lengliehai side were relatively closed, and the dealings with Prand were limited..."

Duncan felt his heart pounding, of course he knew who the Frost Queen was, and there was even a one-to-one Frost Queen doll jumping up and down in his house now, but he never thought of the one who was killed half a century ago The queen executed by the rebels actually established another connection with herself in this way-through an "eldest son" who even he himself just knew of its existence.

"The Frost Rebellion half a century ago..." he pondered over his words, trying to act like an ordinary gossip guest, "I read it in history books, but it was unclear Chu's..."

"That matter was not clear at all," the shopkeeper waved his hand. "It is said that it has something to do with 'that ship'. Who dares to record it clearly?"

"Tirion Abnomar led his team to become pirates after the Frost Rebellion?" Duncan asked again, "Is he still active in the Cold Sea?"

"It seems to be," the shopkeeper recalled. "Anyway, I heard a compatriot who was doing business at sea say so more than 20 years ago."

"Then... are the brothers and sisters Tirian and Lucrecia still in touch?"

"How would I know that?" The shopkeeper waved his hand, "I'm just an ordinary old lady who runs a shop on the streets of Puland. At most, I met them once in the early years, and then happened to remember a little more than you humans, that's all. How can you know everything?"

"It's...it's true."

Duncan smacked his lips, realizing that his concern about this matter seemed a little too much, so he wisely didn't press the question further.

At this time, the old woman opposite him seemed to suddenly remember something, and stood up from behind the counter: "Ah, by the way, speaking of Lucrezia, I suddenly remembered something that has been kept with me for many years. I wonder if you are interested as a guest?"

While talking, the shopkeeper walked towards a low door at the corner of the stairs, opened the door, and rummaged through the storage room inside. After fiddling for an unknown amount of time, he found a half-meter-long lock from the deepest part of the storage room. Long box, put it on the counter.

"This is..." Duncan looked at what the other party brought out suspiciously.

"A doll," the old woman smiled kindly, and carefully opened the lid of the box. "Her name is Nilu—remember what I just said? Many years ago, Lucrezia and her brother had I bought a doll from my store, but that doll is actually one of a pair of sisters. The one she took away was the elder sister named 'Luni', and the rest here is named 'Nilu' .”
