Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 249 Invitation

The owner of the Rose Doll Museum rummaged through the storage room for a long time, and finally found what she was looking for. However, when she got out, she found that the "customer" who was standing in front of the counter had disappeared.

"...Frizzled..." After confirming that Tirian had left, the old woman couldn't help muttering, "No wonder my sister became a scholar, but my brother went to fight with people..."

However, Tirian certainly wouldn't know what the elf old lady was talking about behind her back. He had already rushed out of the doll shop and came to the street outside.

However, standing in the open space in front of the shop and looking around, he couldn't find the blond lady.

Several sailors who were waiting outside the shop saw the captain come out to look around, and immediately came over: "Captain, we are here."

"I didn't look for you," Tirian said quickly, while still looking around the surrounding streets and alleys. "Did you see a lady with long blonde hair standing by the window just now? Probably...shorter than me Half head, wearing a purple dress."

Several sailors looked at each other in blank dismay, and then all cast surprised glances at Tirian.

Tirian frowned: "...What do you mean by those eyes?"

"Captain..." a sailor spoke boldly, with hesitation in his tone, "Love at first sight is a good thing, but I think those who cross city-states..."

Tirian looked at his subordinate calmly: "If you continue, I will put you into the six main guns of the Sea Fog and shoot them in scattered directions."

The sailor fell silent on the spot.

At this time, Tirian had already begun to think quickly.

He can be sure that he was not mistaken just now, there was indeed a blond woman with the same appearance as Her Majesty Le Nora knocking on the window just now.

The sea of ​​people was vast, and in fact, if only a person with a similar appearance to the Frost Queen appeared in front of him, Tirian would not have much reaction—in his long life of half a century, he had seen many people with similar appearance, but It's different when the other party is knocking on the window outside.

The other party was obviously coming for him.

A person who is almost exactly the same as the Frost Queen appeared near this doll shop as if she had been prepared for a long time, knocked on the window to attract her attention, but ran away when she showed up—this series of actions conveyed the obvious Signal.

Tirian frowned slightly, as if vaguely thinking of something, he raised his head and looked at the few people he had brought: "Go back to the cathedral first."

"Ah?" Several sailors were taken aback, and one of them said in astonishment, "But..."

"Nothing but," Tirian waved his hand, "I have something to do, you guys leave first."

Another sailor couldn't help but said: "But, captain, the few of us..."

Tirian's expression became serious: "This is an order."

"But none of us have any money," finished the third sailor at last, "nor any money for the carriage—it's not near the cathedral from here."

Tirian: "..."

After a while, the "Steel Lieutenant General" threw a bag of change to a few of his subordinates, almost gritted his molars and squeezed out a few words: "You guys, hurry up."

The sailors left, and Tirian finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the surrounding environment, thought for a while, and then walked to the most secluded corner of the street within his sight range, where he silently waited for the other party to show up.

If his guess is correct, the other party will definitely show up on his own initiative - he just dismissed the subordinates he brought on the street just now, in order to send a signal that "we can meet".

And it happened exactly as he expected.

After waiting in this secluded alley for a short while, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from nearby. He raised his head and followed the sound, and the blond lady with the appearance of the Frost Queen was indeed appearing in the shadow not far away. .

Even though he had seen it once through the window just now, Tirian still couldn't help but feel astonished at this moment—it's so similar!
He had indeed seen people with similar appearances, but the similar appearances to this extent... It was far beyond common sense and beyond imagination.

It was precisely because of this overly similar appearance that Tirian's first reaction after the momentary astonishment was to be alert and vigilant - he stared at the mysterious blonde lady as if she was a danger worthy of his full attention Molecule, and in this cautious observation, he also discovered some strange things about the other party.

There is a kind of elegance and restraint in his behavior that is not like ordinary people, and his appearance is exquisite but a little less..."The breath of a living person", ordinary people may not be able to detect anything at first glance, but as a leader leading the living dead The captain of the legion, Tirian, gradually sensed a certain...a trait that was extremely unsuitable for the living.

"It's unbelievable," the blond lady said when Tirian became more vigilant, "You're really here—it turns out it's so easy to lure people out."

The other party even has the same voice as the Frost Queen? !

Instead of feeling surprised and excited, Tirian became more vigilant: "... who are you?"

"My name is Alice."

The blond lady on the opposite side smiled and said frankly.

"...I'm not asking about your name," Tirian frowned, "I'm asking about your identity and what you want to do—why did you meet me?"

"The captain wants to see you," Alice said solemnly, asking questions and answering, "He said that you are staying in the cathedral. There are many people around you, and many confidential things are not easy to discuss. It is better to lead you to a quieter place. communicate with."

A mysterious captain wanted to talk to him about some confidential matters, so he sent someone to lure him out?
Tirian frowned, but for some reason his heart relaxed a lot—he had been a pirate on the cold sea for half a century, and he had seen many similar situations. However, a conspiratorial secret meeting between the captains was a situation he was more familiar with.

But he didn't intend to meet with the other party.

"I'm not interested in people who hide their heads and show their tails." After confirming that this is a "bridge" he is familiar with, Tirian's expression relaxed, and he replied casually, "Go tell your master, if you want to meet the captain of the Sea Mist , you can come here in a fair manner and go to the cathedral to find me—and if it’s a shady business, then I’m sorry, the Sea Mist only does legal business outside the Cold Sea.”

After finishing speaking, he already had the intention to turn around and leave, but the blond lady who called herself Alice said suddenly: "Don't you want to know who the 'captain' I'm talking about is?"

"Huh?" Tirian frowned, "Who is it?"

"Your father." Alice said honestly.

However, Tirian's expression changed slightly after hearing the other party's words: "Sorry, this joke is not funny, excuse me."

Alice thought for a while: "Ah, the captain also said that you might have this reaction, so there is another invitation plan..."

Tirian was about to turn around and leave, but he hesitated subconsciously after hearing the other party's words: "Another..."

As soon as he muttered a few words, he suddenly felt the breath around him change, and a warning wave surged up instantly. He suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the breath, but only saw a little girl standing there at some point, spinning He rounded his arms and threw something towards himself.

It seemed to be a dog.

For less than a second, Tirian felt that he had a chance to dodge, even if the opponent was a sneak attack, even if the opponent's strength and speed were obviously extraordinary, he still had a chance to dodge, but when he was trying to dodge In an instant, he found that all his limbs lost their response—as if countless invisible silk threads bound his bones and muscles tightly, and he lost control of his body.

The only thing he managed was to forcefully turn his head and take a look at the blond lady who was smiling harmlessly—the next second, the ugly dog's head rapidly zoomed in on the edge of his field of vision.

There was a loud bang, and the big pirate flew several meters away without moving.

Shirley looked at her results in astonishment.

"...is it just like that?" She looked at the chain in her hand, then at Tirian, who was thrown flying, and muttered as she walked over to check the situation, "I thought at least there was going to be a big fight, but the legend said The big pirate in the movie is just... not killed, right?"

"Probably not," Alice also came over, and murmured to Shirley while looking at the fainted Tirian, "The captain said that Tirian is a child who resists beating."

"Why didn't he hide just now?" Shirley squatted down, picked up a wooden stick and poked Tirian's face, "At least the group of final missionaries could hide for a while..."

"I don't know," Alice shook her head, "I don't know how to fight."

Xueli thought about it, and then she had a new worry: "...Will the captain be angry if he sees his son's head swollen like this?"

"Probably not," Alice continued to shake her head. "The captain said that if he doesn't cooperate, you can hit him with a dog and make him spin like a top..."

"Then did he spin just now?"

"It seems... turn around, turn around in the air many times."

Shirley finally felt relieved and slapped her hands: "That's fine, I'll call Ai Yi over to transport people."
