บท 351: Chapter 355: Disturbance in the Depths of the Abandoned Waterway

Then came footsteps approaching, and a hunched figure with sparse white hair, wearing a dust-coated coat, and a deeply wrinkled face, appeared near the door.

The man known as "Old Ghost" stood in his warden's hut, bent over, his murky gaze sweeping the outside. It wasn't clear whether he actually saw the figures standing at the door before he hurriedly lowered his head and mumbled, "The Queen is here for inspection… I haven't even prepared… The assistants are becoming less and less reliable, and those messengers too…"

"Old Ghost!" Nemo had to interrupt the old man's ramblings with a loud shout, "The Queen isn't here! The Queen isn't coming back! There are guests today—a distinguished guest arranged by Captain Tyrian, so stop mumbling. They are here to see you."
