Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 232 The Reliable Messenger Perli

Ai flew into the store in a fluttering manner, standing on the banister of the stairs with his toes high and his chest puffed out, his mung bean eyes darting around.

The big parrot with colorful tail feathers that flew in followed and flew into the shop, landed on the counter next to Duncan, and swaggered on the counter, as if he was at his own home.

Duncan looked at this guy who flew from nowhere with a look of astonishment, and the big parrot also raised his head and looked at Duncan without seeing anything. After a long time, he suddenly flapped his wings and made a loud and piercing voice: "Ah! profit!"

"Your name is Poli?" Duncan asked curiously. He didn't expect the parrot to really answer anything. After all, the nature of the parrot's speech is just learning the tongue, but he didn't expect the bird to actually click after hearing his question. He nodded and waved his wings: "Poli! It's called Poli!"

Duncan's expression was blank for a moment, and he turned his head to look at Ai Yi who was standing proudly on the first floor on the banister of the stairs: "Where did you find this...'friend'?"

"A friend is coming from afar," Ai immediately flapped his wings, looking at Duncan with one eye and looking out the window with the other, "everyone is here!"

Nina next to her immediately asked curiously, "What does it mean?"

After learning the secrets of the Lost Homelander and Duncan, Nina of course also knew that Ai could talk. She was very surprised at the time, but she has calmed down now—just like everyone else, she also had a hard time. Understand what the strange words that the pigeon pops out from time to time mean.

"Maybe it doesn't know where the parrot came from," Duncan used his imagination to translate for Ai, then turned his head to look at the parrot and the pigeon, and finally couldn't help it after holding back for a long time, "Ai Yi ...I don't object to you making friends, but do you realize that you two species are different? You should find a pigeon anyway..."

"The sea is open to all rivers, tolerance is the greatest," Pigeon Jing yelled, tilting his head, eyes staring blankly, "Tolerance is the greatest!"

Duncan: "..."

He often thinks about life and doubts himself in the process of talking with Ai, doubting whether he is communicating with this bird spirit on the same channel.

This feeling of seeming to be incompatible with everything but being able to communicate miraculously is really not an ordinary subtlety.

At this time, the attention of Shirley, Agou and Alice was also attracted, and the three "people" gathered at the counter to look at the big parrot that was not afraid of people. Alice even poked the wings of the big parrot curiously. , but the latter just jumped to the side twice to dodge for a while, then tilted his head and stared at the puppet.

"What is this?" Alice looked at Duncan curiously, "It looks completely different from Ai."

Shirley immediately said, "Of course it's different, this is a parrot, and Ai is a pigeon."

"What is a parrot?" Alice asked with a soul, "Can it be eaten?"

"No," Shirley shook her head, and then asked the puppet, "Why do you always care about this issue even if you don't need to eat?"

"I'm in charge of cooking for the boat...Mr. Duncan!"

There was a lot of chatter at the counter, but Duncan didn't get involved. He just looked at the big parrot that called himself "Purley" thoughtfully. For some reason, he always vaguely felt that the bird looked familiar, as if ...It seems that I just saw it somewhere not long ago.

"Where are you from? Why are you here?" he asked suddenly.

During the conversation just now, he had already faintly noticed that this parrot had a certain ability to communicate with people—this obviously proved that its origin was unusual.

The big parrot turned its head and tilted its head: "Poli! Go, send a message!"

"Send a letter?" Duncan was taken aback for a moment, his expression became serious, "Send what letter?"

The big parrot tilted its head and seemed to be thinking, and opened its mouth after some recollection, but before it could say anything, it heard Ai next to him suddenly flying over, shouting loudly: Order the fries!"

The big parrot was taken aback: "Ah! Poli!"

"Order French fries!" The pigeon landed in front of the big parrot, nodding seriously, "Order French fries."

"Polly?" "The whole order of chips!"

The two birds communicated in such a way that Duncan had to interrupt: "Stop—Ay, you shut up. Purley, what letter are you sending, and to whom?"

The big parrot was obviously stunned, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he shook his body back and forth: "Order French fries."

Duncan: "..."

He suddenly realized one thing, no matter what the parrot's previous message was, it has obviously forgotten it now...

Immediately afterwards, the parrot Purley seemed to find some useful information from the remaining memory, it suddenly jumped up and flapped its wings vigorously: "Tell the captain, tell the captain! Tell... order French fries! "

Afterwards, the big parrot yelled, "Order French fries", flapped its wings and flew straight to the door. Before everyone could react, it had already rushed out of the door, into the sky, and headed towards the city-state of Purdue. Speed ​​up all the way uptown.

Nina wanted to stop the parrot but didn't have time. She could only watch the parrot's figure fly away with regret on her face, and turned her head and muttered: "Ah, it flew away."

Duncan didn't respond—after hearing Perry yelling "tell the captain", his face suddenly became serious, and at the same time he recalled why he was vaguely familiar with this parrot.

He had indeed seen the bird—in one of the cabins of the Seamist when the Lost Home and the Seamist passed by!

"Ai, catch up with that parrot."

……

"That's more or less the case."

In a secluded reception room of the Purand Cathedral, the old bishop Valentine in casual clothes said to Tirian who was sitting on the sofa opposite the coffee table.

"The Lost Land finally took away the sun fragments, prevented the creeping sun disk from coming, and also eliminated the influence of historical pollution on the city-state-although we still can't be sure...your father's intentions."

Tirian's expression was a little subtle, but also a little stiff.

He couldn't remember how many years he hadn't been caught in this state of mind-blocking by amazement-he could understand every word the old bishop said, but even in his wildest and most bizarre dreams, he never Consider these things happen!

"The Lost Homeland really left just like that? It looks like it came here to save the ship?" The famous "pirate captain" said in disbelief, "It took away the sun fragments...and then what? That's all? Nothing else?"

Valentine exchanged glances with Fan Na who was next to him, both of them had a bit of helplessness and hesitation in their expressions.

Now that things are going on, it's really hard to say "your father robbed half of the city's French fries" in front of Tirian.

"...nothing else." After hesitating again and again, the old bishop still couldn't tell the matter, he shook his head and sighed, "I know you are confused—Mr. Tirian, we are as confused as you, If you don't even know what your father wants to do, neither do we."

"He hasn't been my father since a century ago," Tirian shook his head slowly, and said in a deep voice, "That's just an imitation that was torn apart by the subspace and then pieced together with clumsy means. There is no humanity in the hollow shell..."

Tirian stopped suddenly when he said this. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the few seconds when the Lost Home and the Seamist overlapped and passed by, and thought of the indifferent and alienated words he heard——

"I am very busy."

The big pirate suddenly hesitated.

Is there really no humanity in that shell on the Lost Home?The voice that spoke to me at that time, and the breath I felt from that figure... Is it really just the hollow and frantic echo of the subspace?

Just when Tirian was so distracted, the voice of the young judge suddenly came from the opposite side, interrupting his cranky thoughts: "The question of whether Captain Duncan possesses 'humanity' is exactly what we are going to discuss next. .”

"Huh?" Tirian looked at Fanna suspiciously, "What does this mean?"

"Actually..." Fan Na hesitated for a moment, then turned her head and exchanged glances with Bishop Valentine, then nodded slightly, "We have communicated with your father more than once recently."

Things related to the Lost Homeland were considered confidential information, especially the conversation with that Captain Duncan. These things should not have been revealed, but Tirian's identity is so special, these problems are obviously no longer a problem.

"Communication? You and my father?!" Tirian was really taken aback, and almost stood up from the sofa, "Isn't this a bad joke?"

"Please calm down, this is a very serious matter - no one will joke about this kind of thing after the city-state is almost destroyed." Vanna looked at Tirian calmly, and then paused slightly, "Strictly speaking, it's me and you Father has had several exchanges, and from what I've seen... 'Captain Duncan' no longer seems to fit the description in the profile."

Tirian noticed the solemn attitude of the other party, he quickly calmed down, and his expression became extraordinarily serious: "Miss Judge, how did you establish communication? Why did he find you? And... what did he say?"

"It was an accident at first... No, now that I think about it, it may also be your father's intentional arrangement." Fan Na collected her thoughts, and recalled as she spoke, "I came into contact with the 'flame' he left behind, and established As for why he chose me...unfortunately, no one knows..."

Vanna concealed the details about being "imprinted" and "pollution cannot be removed", but vaguely summarized the process as "establishing a connection", and then told the details of several exchanges between herself and Captain Duncan. The "pirate captain" in front of him.

The man who theoretically knows Duncan Abu Normar the best.
