Deep Sea Embers Chapter 164: Call goes unanswered
Alice left in a good mood, looking like she could even be happy for many days, while Duncan was left alone on the deck, looking at the wooden crate containing the "Nelo".
He controlled the "Clone" in the city-state of Perland and left the Upper Town. He was on his way back to the antique shop by bicycle. Before leaving the doll shop, he had a lot of conversations with the old lady of the shop owner. Lucrecia and Tyrian, but nothing more.
As the shopkeeper herself said, she is just an ordinary citizen after all, she just happens to live longer than human beings, and she has personally experienced some things many years ago, but apart from the initial relationship and hearsay In addition to the information that came, she actually didn't know much about the two "Duncan descendants".
While on the Homeless, Duncan was lost in thought.
He actually has a pair of children in this body, even a pair of children who are still alive, and it sounds like the pair of siblings are not ordinary people - one of them used to be loyal to the Queen of Frost, and now they are Leng Lie Hai The biggest pirate leader, the other one has been wandering on the border of the civilized world for a long time, engaging in some mysterious exploration activities, and is called "the witch in the sea" by the captains in awe.
Such a pair of "children" brings only trouble and a little nervousness to Duncan at this moment.
He is now "Captain Duncan" on the Lost Country, and it looks like he will have to be "Captain Duncan" for the foreseeable future, so he will have to find a way to maintain this status, but if one day in the future ...what should I do with that pair of siblings?
Should I show filial piety to my father? Or should I show ruthlessness? Should I say hello, or should I walk away coldly?
According to the store manager's account, the Tyrian brothers and sisters had a "break" with their father a hundred years ago, and the Sea Fog and Bright Star had a mysterious "family conflict" with themselves after a mysterious "family conflict". The flagship of the Lost Homes parted ways, as the world knows.
But what happened at that time may only be known by the three parties involved.
Duncan sighed softly.
No matter what the real situation was at that time, one thing seems to be certain, the relationship between myself and the pair of brothers and sisters seems to be incapable of being filial to father and son or filial piety to father and daughter. The direction of the hard work...
He bent down and picked up the wooden box containing "Nilu". On the velvet lining of the box, a doll girl with a height of only a few tens of centimeters was lying quietly. This was born a hundred years ago. The little guy is now a new "member" of Homeless.
Does "she" really have a connection with Lucrecia? Or, Lucrecia really still has the one named "Luni" that she bought a hundred years ago. Doll?
Duncan didn't think much of it when he bought Nilu, but now his mind can't help but become active, holding this wooden box, he returned to the captain's room.
Goathead was at the helm as before, and as soon as Duncan opened the door and came in, his usual roar immediately sounded: "Ah! The great captain has returned to his loyal captain's room, you seem to have brought a lot of supplies from the city, you The loyal following is very concerned about the health of the food on board. If you don't mind, I will personally guide Miss Alice to become a qualified..."
"Shut up, you don't want to mess around with that puppet's recipe anymore, I don't want my next meal to look like a pot of ghostly vomit," Duncan glared at the goat's head, "we Where is it now and how far is it from Prand?"
"Oh, we're still on full speed toward Plante, with several successful astral accelerations in between - like 'floating on the fringes of the real world, now Lost Homes is out of that city-state' There are only ten days left," Goat Head said happily immediately, "it is estimated that before long, you can feel the obvious power filling in the process of walking in the spirit world - the influence of the Lost Homeland will become your The greatest boost to activity in a city-state..."
Duncan glanced at Goat Head quietly, and the latter stopped chattering. After two seconds of silence, he suddenly said: "The loyal first mate will always know the captain best."
"Very good," Duncan nodded, holding the wooden box and walking towards his bedroom, but soon he stopped again, quickly considering and combining words in his mind, and finally asked casually with a calm expression, "You said, how would Tyrian and Lucrecia react if they saw me again?"
This is a temptation after careful weighing. It is the most normal, least suspicious question that he has considered and can obtain some information.
He didn't ask Goathead what he thought of the siblings, as such a question was too blunt, and didn't ask what happened between the siblings' past and Homeless, because it would reveal his situation - he ended up The questioning method you choose is more in line with your identity and the relationship between yourself and the goat head.
Goat Head was visibly stunned, his voice hesitated for a long time before it entered Duncan's ears: "You mean... your children... sorry, Captain, I don't know if I should talk about your family affairs, Because you rarely mention them to me, but if you have to say it, you have to say..."
The usually eloquent goat head stammered several times before he finally continued: "If I have to say it, I think we and Tyrion may have another fight, just like in Frost. , after all, he always likes to use artillery to solve problems, and as for Miss Lucrecia...she will probably avoid it from afar..."
Duncan is noncommittal, but suddenly he realizes two things!
First, he remembered that Goat Head had revealed that the Lost Homeland had "fighted" with people near the Frost City-state, and that battle was actually fought with Tirian!
Second, the goathead's reaction was very strange at first, and he specifically emphasized that Duncan seldom mentioned that pair of siblings to him... Judging from this sentence, doesn't this goathead really have a relationship with that pair? Has the brother and sister got along? His understanding of the brother and sister can only rely on Duncan's "reporting"?
Wasn't this guy on the Lost Homes from the start?!
Duncan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't show anything on his face. He just nodded to indicate that he heard the reply from the goat head, and he continued to walk quietly and returned to his bedroom.
The thick oak door closed behind him, blocking the view of the goat's head in the chart room, and slowly calming Duncan's mood.
He took a long breath, took out "Nilu" from the wooden box and put it on his desk. He stared at the doll for several minutes, and finally said hello to her: "You Well, my name is Duncan."
Of course the puppet didn't respond.
She's really just a puppet.
Duncan suddenly felt that his behavior was a bit silly. He smiled awkwardly, saying that fortunately no one on this ship had the courage to spy on the captain's bedroom, and then he opened the drawer by his hand and took out a thing.
It was a small and delicate hairpin with the shape of waves and feathers.
This is the "old thing" Alice found in the cabin.
Duncan stared silently at the small hairpin, as before, the strange nostalgia once again permeated his heart.
This seems to be the only strand of "humanity" left by the original owner of this body, in the form of indifferent emotional fragments, remaining in his heart.
"I'm afraid this is really Lucrecia's..." Duncan whispered to himself, "Is it a gift that wasn't delivered, or the only thing left on this ship after she left..."
He slowly picked up the hairpin and flipped it gently in the sunlight, which shone brightly on the silver edge of the hairpin through the window.
A cluster of small green flames spread from Duncan's fingertips, submerged the hairpin in the blink of an eye, and then the flames flowed in the air again, wrapping around the doll "Nilu".
Duncan calmed down and tried to feel whether there was extraordinary power left in these two things, or even a little "connection" that could point to "distance".
However, the flames quickly subsided, and neither the doll nor the hairpin reacted.
Is it because they are really just ordinary mortal objects, or because Lucrecia is currently on the border of the civilized world, and the distance is so far that the "connection" remaining in the two objects is already weak to the point of connection. To the extent that the fire of the spirit body cannot be caught?
Duncan frowned~IndoMTL.com~ once again diffused the flames. At the same time, with a mentality that he couldn't even explain himself, he tried to call out: "Lucrecia... Lucy?"
He used the nickname Lucrecia--perhaps the nickname would create a stronger connection than the official name?
Nothing happened.
Duncan waited for a long time, only to extinguish the flame in disappointment.
At the same time, in the far-flung land, on the edge of the Eternal Curtain, the clockwork doll "Luni" who was wiping the table suddenly stopped.
This "engineered creation", which has been transformed by Lucrecia herself countless times, is now almost an "alchemy life", and there is a series of gears and bearings. A bunch of "crunching" noises.
The clockwork key behind Luni popped out with a click and fell to the ground, the alloy-reinforced arm was pulled down stiffly, and a plume of blue smoke slowly emerged from the seam behind the maid's shell...
