Pendant?

Hearing the words of the subspace shadow before her, Heidi was first taken aback, then looked down at the amethyst pendant from a glass workshop on her chest. In the next second, all the information about the pendant flooded into her mind…

The strange antique shop, the pendant her father brought back from the antique shop, the incredible protection during the Black Sun incident, the second pendant, Vanna's inconclusive investigation of that antique shop, and… Duncan Abnomar's appearance and words at this moment…

The psychiatrist finally gradually widened her eyes, her wild guesses gradually turning into a definite fact. She suddenly felt… she might need some psychological help.

"Relax, and control your gaze. Don't look at things you shouldn't," Duncan said to Heidi with a smile, unhurriedly. "Your father specifically asked me to remind you of that."

Heidi felt a buzzing in her mind, unable to tell whether it was noise caused by mild spiritual contamination or simply auditory hallucinations caused by nervous tension. She held her forehead, finally barely managing to control her reason and impulse, but still felt her thoughts slow and fragmented. "My father… he’s…"

"Is serving as a consultant on the *Lost Country*. He was afraid you'd worry, so he didn't tell you, but we didn't expect you to get mixed up in this so haphazardly."

"Is he alright? Is he on your ship…" Heidi asked subconsciously, but when she looked at the dignified "Captain" before her, her voice suddenly hesitated. She felt that no matter how she asked, it would seem offensive and rash.

Duncan didn't seem to care, and casually replied, "He's fine. He's maintaining the healthiest routine in the team and playing a huge role on the ship. Anything else you want to know?"

Heidi opened her mouth, reorganized the words in her mind for a long time, and then suddenly thought of another thing, a thing that happened almost at the same time as her father left home, and now, in retrospect, was full of doubts. She felt her guess was simply crazy, but she couldn't help but ask, "Then… Vanna, is she also on your…"

Duncan didn't answer directly, but affirmed her guess from the side, "Want to see them?"

Heidi was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer this simple question. After two or three seconds, she suddenly woke up, and her first reaction was to put away her large pile of terrifying personality clones, and at the same time, she said in a panic, "Is it possible? Are you really allowing it? Ah, sorry, I didn't mean anything else, but I've heard a lot about you… I should…"

Her panicked words suddenly stopped.

Because along with a rotating, ghostly green flame door, two particularly familiar figures had appeared before her.

Morris had a smile on his face, while Vanna's expression was a little awkward.

"Well, long time no see," Vanna came to Heidi and greeted her, touching her nose. "Sorry for keeping it from you for so long. My new position is a bit sensitive, mainly because there are confidentiality requirements. This time, Captain allowed it… Are you angry?"

Heidi didn't answer, just stared at her long-time friend, then stared at Morris next to her. After a long time, she finally blurted out, "Can someone explain to me exactly what's going on?"

"You guys talk slowly," Duncan said, seeing that they had already started communicating, and immediately waved his hand with great tact. "I'll chat with Lucretia."

Leaving two "crew members" and Heidi staring at each other, embarrassment overflowing.

Duncan didn't care about the subtle resentment in Vanna and Morris's expressions behind him. He had already come to Lucretia with particular composure, but saw that the "Sea Witch's" eyes were dodging and her expression was quite embarrassed.

Lucretia had been brainstorming for a long time. After her father suddenly entered this dream, she had been in a state of confusion and helplessness. Just now, while her father was communicating with that "psychiatrist," she had been trying to figure out how to communicate with this long-lost "relative," how to adjust her mentality like Tyrion, and…

How to explain the scythe thing just now.

But when her father really walked over, she realized that she hadn't prepared anything. The "witch" who frightened many people on the Boundless Sea was actually not good at dealing with such emotional emergencies. Instead, because of a moment's random thoughts, she was now even more at a loss.

Lucretia opened her mouth, "I…"

"No rush," Duncan suddenly waved his hand and interrupted Lucretia's words, then turned to look at the three people not far away. "Let's watch for a while first."

Lucretia: "...?"

She was a little confused for a moment, unable to understand what her father meant by "watch for a while first." She even subconsciously thought of directions that were completely irrelevant, such as "scheming" and "plotting," but in the next second, she realized that the familiar but long-lost figure beside her was just looking at the distance, with a humanized, watching-a-show expression on his face.

The Sea Witch hesitated for a moment and followed her gaze in that direction. A strange feeling welled up in her heart. She didn't know how to describe this strange and awkward development. This was different from the scene she had imagined of reuniting with her father for many years.

She had imagined that one day in the future, the immortal herself might also encounter the *Lost Country* returning from subspace like Tyrion. She had imagined that there might be a tragic confrontation between the Brilliant Star and the *Lost Country*. The evil spirit from subspace would destroy all the traitors, just like he destroyed the Thirteen Islands of Veserand on the border back then…
