Chapter 103: Goathead Nemesis

Chapter 103 – Goat Head Nemesis

Alice very openly accepted the fact that her box had been transformed into parts of the Lost Country, and then flew off to put the matter about the Frost Queen Rae Nora behind her – the degree of open-mindedness was beyond Duncan’s reach.

According to Ms. Doll herself, the reason why she was so open was because it was all a “non-issue” to her.

“I live on this ship now and don’t plan on leaving, so it’s no big deal if the crate becomes part of the Lost Country, and the Frost Queen is even easier – I don’t even know her,” Alice said as she sat back down on the lid of her crate with a pleasant smile on her face. with a pleasant smile on her face, “I don’t know if I am her or not, or what kind of person she used to be, and anyway, that was half a century ago……. What’s history, is history.”

“It’s good that you’re broad-minded.” Duncan just quietly looked at Alice’s lavender eyes for a long time, he gently nodded.

In the end, he still did not mention the “details” in the echo to the other party, and did not mention the words that the Frost Queen, Rae Nora, suddenly said to herself before she was executed.

After all, even if he mentioned it, this mannequin would surely not know anything …… She is now carefree, but also quite good.

“That’s it, now that we have a preliminary understanding and control of your ‘Hearse’, but there will be some tests to be done afterward when we have the chance as to whether the decapitation effect of ‘Anomaly 099’ is also controlled along with it, “Duncan exhaled softly, “I’ll leave you to it.”

“Ai, take care Captain~~”

Leaving Alice’s room, Duncan returned to the deck, he slowly walked towards the captain’s room with a full heart, while walking, he sorted out the problems he had encountered so far.

He was supposed to find out whether the “decapitation” power of Anomaly 099 was controllable, but in the end, he failed to solve this problem, but accidentally touched on an old story of half a century ago. …… The Frost Queen, who was executed by the rebels, the accusation of colluding with the Lost Country ship, as well as the mysterious “subterranean abyss”, which is a mysterious abyss. The mysterious “Subterranean Abyss” program, these things in his mind, long time to dissipate.

In addition to these things, there is something else that also makes him very concerned.

Duncan reached down and took something out of his pocket.

It was a small hairpin, shaped like a silver and white feather surrounded by waves.

In no way did it look like something a rugged male seaman would possess.

When he looked at it, he felt a distant and vague nostalgia, this hair card …… seems to have a special meaning for the real “Captain Duncan”.

Duncan’s mind was full of questions, but he knew better than to ask the goathead directly.

He put away the card and returned to the captain’s cabin with a heavy heart, where Goathead was still diligently controlling the ship, and to Duncan’s surprise, Aye the pigeon, who should have stayed in the dormitory to wait for his turn, was also with him.

The bird was standing tall and cocky on Goathead’s horns, arrogantly mooching the shell of his beak with Goathead’s brain.

Duncan saw this scene when he opened the door and entered the house, and instantly asked curiously, “When did you guys get so close?”

The pigeon flapped its wings, high and low and didn’t say anything, while the goat head squeaked and turned its head around, its obsidian-ground eyes looking straight at Duncan, “Great Captain ah …… Can you stop by and get some fries back the next time you’re walking around with an aye-aye spirit world? ”

Duncan froze, “…… Why are you starting to come to the ‘fix some fries’ routine too?”

Goathead’s voice was almost a little shaky, “Please, fix some fries …… just to shut your pigeons up ……”

Duncan stared dumbfounded at the combination of bird and goat for a long time before vaguely guessing what was happening and bursting into a fit of glee, “You’ve finally met your natural enemy, huh?”

“I changed the subject seventy-six times! Seventy-six! Exhausting my life’s learning, traveling through a thousand years of history, from poems and songs to frying and cooking, from the sacrifices of the gods to the breeding of sows! But all the responses were ‘whole order of fries’!” Goathead’s voice sounded a little broken, “How on earth do you normally deal with this pigeon?”

“Simple, just talk to it less, if you don’t talk to it, it’ll quieten down pretty quickly on its own,” Duncan splayed his hands, “I’m guessing you can’t do that.”

Goathead thought for a moment and let out a sigh, “…… Then you might as well turn around and fix some fries.”

Duncan was noncommittal, simply beckoning to Aye, and the pigeon immediately fluttered over and landed on his shoulder before he sat down in his own chair and turned to Goathead in a seemingly casual manner, “The ruler of the Frost City-State half a century ago, the Queen of the Frost, Rae Nora – do you know anything about that? ?”

“The Frost Queen? The one who was executed by the rebels half a century ago?” The goat head froze for a moment, “I’ve heard of this, speaking of which, it seems that we fought a battle with them in that neighborhood a few decades ago. …… But other than that, we haven’t had any more dealings. Why are you suddenly bringing this up?” Duncan gazed calmly into the goathead’s eyes, knowing that the First Officer was not lying.

Goathead really didn’t know about the Frost Queen, and the Lost Country didn’t have any contact with the Frost City State.

Not only did it not have any contact, the Lost Country ship had even clashed with the city-state’s guard force back then – just like it had clashed with other city-states and ships of other routes.

Since the Lost Country ship had never been an ally of the Frost City-State in Goathead’s memory, it meant that the charge that the rebels had placed on the Frost Queen’s head half a century ago was completely fictitious.

Of course, it might be a bit too early to draw this conclusion now, after all, it was an old story from half a century ago, and there might still be a lot of twisted details in the buried history, and on his side there was even only one side of Goathead’s story, and this First Mate might have just been telling the truth, but what he knew wasn’t necessarily the whole truth – just that all of this wasn’t important.

Duncan now also has no intention to overturn the meaning of the Frost Queen half a century ago, he only wants to know the things related to the Lost Country ship and Alice.

“You know what? Alice looks exactly like the Frost Queen from half a century ago – the so-called Anomaly 099 was most likely born after the executed Frost Queen was cursed by the Infinite Sea,” he said casually while teasing the pigeon on his shoulder with his fingers, ” And that Frost Queen’s most prominent ‘crime’ for being executed by the rebels back then was colluding with the Lost Country.”

Goathead froze for a moment.

Duncan had rarely seen the guy freeze.

“Colluding with the Lost Country? Do those stupid humans in the city-states even have to make up such a ridiculous reason for betraying their monarch?” After a few seconds, the goat head finally scoffed loudly, he clearly felt that this matter was ridiculous, “Don’t blame me for scoffing too loudly, it’s really because those humans are too stupid and weak, they’re afraid that they would even blame the curse of the Lost Country for falling down when they go out of the house! This ‘offense’ is just too outrageous!”

Speaking of this he paused before continuing, “But you said that Miss Alice looks like that Frost Queen? This is really …… unbelievable, if Ms. Alice is really that Frost Queen transformed …… then this matter can be full of irony.”

“Yes, it would be ironic if they did have such a connection,” Duncan leaned back and rested on the back of his chair in a comfortable position, “The Frost Queen never had any contact with the Lost Country during her lifetime, yet the rebels planted a charge of colluding with the Lost Country, and now half a century later, Alice has truly become a member of the Lost Country’s crew. became a crew member of the Lost Country ship – that group of rebels hard pressed the charge back then came true across time and space instead.”

“No wonder you hurriedly went to look for Ms. Alice as soon as you returned, so it turned out that you had found the key information about Anomaly 099,” Goat Head immediately began to flatter, “It is truly worthy of being the great Captain Duncan, every one of your trips is bound to be rewarding! It reminds me of a saying by a navigator, and possibly a ……”

Duncan immediately glared at this goathead and casually took the pigeon off his shoulder and placed it in front of the goathead, “You two talk.”

Goathead: “……!?”

……

Inside the central cathedral, in the city-state of Prand, Vanna hands a freshly signed document to her entourage, “Deliver this to the Church of the West – it’s the last search warrant.”

The young Guardian warrior took the document, “Yes, Inquisitor.”

Vanna exhaled softly, moving her neck, which was slightly stiff from dealing with paperwork, feeling that dealing with a quill was tiring her more than wielding a giant sword and fighting heretics.

At the edge of the table, an oil lamp was burning quietly, and curls of smoke were rising from a copper incense burner, both of which were necessary protections when dealing with paperwork at night – even within the hallowed halls of the cathedral, the proper protections should still be in place.

“I hope we don’t have any more trouble tonight.”

The young Inquisitor lady couldn’t help but grunt as she stretched.

As if in response to this mumble of hers, as soon as Vanna’s words left her mouth, a slightly sharp and shrill bell suddenly came from the direction of the church’s main building!

The Guardian warrior who had just picked up the documents and had not yet had the time to leave the room stopped in his tracks when he heard this bell sound, and he glanced out the window suspiciously, then looked back to his superior who had just stretched his lazy waist halfway, “What happened to the nighttime signal bell ringing ……?”

“It’s the bells of the summoned listening,” Vanna quickly discerned the message the bells were conveying, and her expression became serious all of a sudden, “Seven consecutive short chimes, from the ‘Crypt of the Unknown King’ …… Could it be that a new anomaly or vision has been discovered?”
