Deep Sea Embers

The people who were supposed to return to the stronghold after the inspection were delayed, which made Nemo feel a little uneasy.

"Let's go together," Duncan said proactively when he saw this, just as he also wanted to take a walk in this abandoned and mysterious "Second Waterway" to see if there were some secrets hidden in the ancient legacy left by the Frost Queen , "Multiple people take care of multiple people."

Nemo took a surprised look at the "Legendary Captain", a burly figure who sometimes brings heavy pressure.

Frankly speaking, until now he still has a sense of unreality—the legendary "Captain Duncan" returned from the subspace, he has indeed heard about it, after all, not long ago, the Sea Mist was also due to This incident made a special "far door", but Captain Duncan standing directly in front of him is another level of horror. If he ran to the cemetery and told his deceased grandfather, the old man would jump out of the coffin The level of shutting yourself up—but it happened.

However, after such a brief contact, he found that this "Captain Duncan" was not as scary as the legends said.

He's sane, conversant, and polite -- and he's accompanied by several "assistants," who don't look like puppets controlled by some evil magic.

Now, he's even offering to help.

This made Nemo feel a little bit at a loss for a while, but he nodded soon - compared to analyzing the temper of his immediate boss's father, the delayed crow is the only thing that can't be delayed.

"I'll follow too," the old ghost's voice also came over at this moment, the old man came to a nearby shelf, rummaged through the messy "trash", and found a safety oil lamp that could be hung on his chest and a He picked up a crowbar, found a rope from another shelf and hung it on his body, and walked towards the door, "No one knows the route below this better than me—if that kid really got lost at a certain fork, You need the wisdom of the old."

Apparently, the old man, who was sometimes confused and sometimes understanding, was in a better state at the moment.

Duncan didn't say anything, just signaled Nemo to lead the way, so the group left the administrator's hut, crossed the spacious "intersection" before, and started to look for Nemo along a sewer branch road extending northward. Mo's subordinate who has not returned for a long time.

And when he crossed that intersection and gradually penetrated into the depths of the "Second Waterway", Duncan became more and more aware of how huge a project it really was—and the city-state ruled by the Frost Queen fifty years ago. How strong is it?

The walls are strong, the corridors are tall, and the so-called "sewer" is almost like a magnificent underground palace. The criss-cross connection structure is obviously not only used for drainage, but also has military considerations, asylum, and even the construction of underground factories. Over the wide corridors, we can see the criss-crossing of pipeline facilities. Although many of them are seriously corroded or even broken and peeled off due to long-term abandonment, we can still think of how magnificent the scale was at the beginning of its construction.

On both sides of the corridor, you can occasionally see the openings of huge pipes and rusty grilles. The ground drainage channels on both sides have long since dried up—because the entire underground waterway has been used for a short time, and it has been abandoned for many years. Apart from some stale mustiness, there was no unpleasant smell.

Walking in such an incredible underground facility, even the well-informed Morris couldn't help admiring, but in addition to admiring, the old scholar suddenly had some doubts.

"Even for the consideration of the city-state's development after a hundred years...is it a bit exaggerated to build such a huge underground facility?" He couldn't help but said, "The sewer system in Puland is already considered advanced, but compared with this It still looks quite inferior—not to mention that it was built fifty years ago, did Frost really need such a huge 'second waterway' back then?"

"The queen has her own considerations, and her judgment is always correct," the old ghost walking in front said immediately when he heard Morris' question, "Your Majesty, she is a natural psychic, and she can always see things that ordinary people can't see. She can even see the future of the city-state—she relied on this kind of judgment to make Frost strong, and we also believe that these things she planned will always come in handy.”

Duncan frowned suddenly.

"A natural psyker?" He looked at the old man carrying a rope and a crowbar. "You mean, the Frost Queen can predict the future to a certain extent?"

"She said she couldn't, but we all believed that she could—otherwise how can we explain the incredible judgments she made?" Everybody knows that."

Duncan looked at Morris, who was also thoughtful at the moment, and said in a low voice: "There are not many records about the Frost Queen in history, because most of the information was lost or destroyed during the rebellion. It was deliberately hidden and tampered with, but as far as I know, there is no record of 'the queen is a natural psychic' or 'the queen has the ability to predict', and the information only says that she is extremely intelligent and has flexible political skills."

Duncan listened, and silently glanced at Alice who was obediently following him.

Not bright at all, and doesn't know politics at all - she hasn't even learned to spell the word.

Alice noticed the captain's gaze, and immediately turned her head, the corners of her eyes curled up in a smile.

"...When there are omissions in the data records, especially when the rebels will deliberately conceal a lot of things, I would like to believe that the Frost Queen did have some peculiarities," Duncan retracted his gaze, erasing Ellie in his mind Si said casually with a naive smile, "It's just this huge 'Second Waterway' in front of me... What was her purpose back then, to build such an incredible thing..."

No one could answer Duncan's question, and at this moment, Fanna suddenly noticed something strange in the distance.

"Someone fell on the ground over there!" She pointed to the distance and reminded.

Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, they saw a figure in a blue coat lying on the ground.

A group of people ran over quickly, Nemo stretched out his hand and turned the man who had fallen on the ground over, and a pale face came into everyone's sight.

"...It's a crow," Nemo's expression was extremely ugly for a moment, and then he punched the ground next to him, "He's fucking!"

Fan Na squatted down beside the dead young man. She seemed to have noticed something wrong with the corpse, and after some inspections, she suddenly frowned: "Did he... drowned?"

"... drowned?" Morris next to him was startled when he heard the words, and then he found the wet coat of the corpse and the abnormal swelling and water marks on the skin, but when he looked around, he only saw the dry ground nearby—— The only trace of water is under the body of the "crow".

Fan Na moved closer, inspected it carefully for a moment and then raised her head: "The smell of sea water——I was drowned in the sea."

"There is no sea water here, even the nearby underground river is fresh water," the old ghost also followed from behind at this time, and after seeing the dead crow, the already criss-crossed wrinkles on his face suddenly became more twisted All together, "Poor boy, he must have been captured by the rebels, drowned and dumped here..."

"It's not certain whether the rebels are rebels or not, but it's possible to throw the corpse," Morris said with a serious expression, "this is obviously not the scene of the crime... huh?"

He seemed to have discovered something suddenly, so he reached out and fumbled in the pocket of "The Crow", and he took out a piece of paper that was also completely soaked in water - a small corner of the paper was exposed before, causing caught his attention.

All eyes were instantly focused on the piece of paper.

Morris held the water-soaked paper and carefully unfolded it.

There are words on the paper—although it has been blurred by blisters, it has not completely dissipated.

With the additional illumination of the oil lamp brought by the old ghost, Duncan recognized the information on the paper, but the content on it was confusing. It was a few paragraphs without beginning and end——

"...The meeting of the lost kings was held again and again, and the original plan was made. Most of the people in the ashes were sheltered, and they wanted to stand up in the light and heat...

"...but the kings quarreled again, and they saw a clan hiding in the shadows...

"The forsaken, whose flesh and blood would melt in the light, and who could not receive blessings from the newborn world, came the king of the clan to the council of the abandoned kings, and demanded the same protection for them, but what they wanted But it is extremely harmful to others in the ashes, and the lost kings cannot agree to them, and they are abandoned.

"They went to the shadows, and imprisoned themselves in dark places, but they could not die completely. They cried out and sought the shelter of their homeland, but they couldn't find it. So they fled further into the darkness-they were They don't like darkness, but only darkness can save them from the poison of this world, so they lived in darkness for a long time..."
