Nemo suddenly felt a kind of palpitation.
At this moment, he felt as if the formidable "Ghost Captain" was not merely making a simple commitment but was stating a "predestined fact" that had already taken shape on some future day.
He did not know where this feeling came from, only that at this moment he involuntarily lowered his head and spoke with a kind of awe that was difficult for even himself to describe, "Just as you said."
Duncan nodded, then seemingly unintentionally shifted his gaze to the old ghost standing not far away, leaning against the wall as if lost in thought.
This old man was no longer muttering about the Frost Queen or babbling about the second waterway and rebels. He was just standing there in a daze, as if his mind was wandering through a time and space that was about to be forgotten.
In the old man's muddled memory... was the Frost Queen still ruling this place?
