Deep Sea Embers Chapter 272: Turn North
【Deep sea embers】【】
Duncan temporarily stopped helping Alice deal with the residual glue, as if he was listening to the distant voice seriously. After a while, he lowered his head again and wiped off some of the glue that fell on the table with a soft cloth. crumbs.
Alice blinked and looked at the captain curiously: "Boat, captain, what happened just now?"
"Morris received a letter from a friend far away, and he was not at ease about the situation revealed in that letter," Duncan smiled, stood up, and helped Alice deal with the layer on the neck joint. Residual glue said casually, "I want to help you see the situation."
"Friends from far away, friends?" Alice's head stammered on the nautical table, "Yes, yes, is it in danger? We want, want, to save people?"
There was not much glue left on the neck joints, and it was far easier to clean up than the glue left in the hollows of the head joints. Duncan quickly got rid of the dry glue. He finished the final wiping carefully, and then bent He bent down and held Alice's head up, and carefully put her back in place like a work of art.
"We may be going to rescue someone," he said softly, turning the doll's head left and right, "or it may be to help him rest in peace. But no matter what, we have to go to a far away place. "
Once the puppet's head was placed in place, Alice's slightly dull eyes instantly became flexible. She shook her head lightly, like a puppet being injected with soul, and her speech became fluent again: "Ah, then we will Where are you going?”
Heidi put away the cleaning tools and looked at the foggy sea chart.
On the sea chart, the small bright spot representing the Haiwu is moving slowly, and there is a distance away from Xiang Yanya.
"North," he said loudly, his eyes falling on Goat's Head, "hoist the jib and jib, and turn north—following the Sea Fog."
If I remember correctly, the two girls are Shirley and Nina, the niece of the owner.
"Thank you, you've helped me a lot," the gray-haired Alice also stood up, with a sincere smile on her face, "I'll see you off."
The wife was leaning against the door frame with her shoulders in her arms, looking at this side with some dissatisfaction.
"Okay," the young guard in charge of driving nodded in the car, but still reminded a little worriedly, "You pay attention to the time, today is the day when the Cathedral of Storms arrives in Lawrence, you need to personally >
Attend the welcome ceremony, Bishop Valentine specially reminded. In addition, we didn't plan the itinerary when we came here this time..."
After saying what he wanted to say, he didn't expect the old captain's answer, he just bowed slightly politely, said goodbye and left.
Duncan was sent to the door by the old captain, but before he left, he couldn't help but look at Alice twice, and said, "Besides, I have one last suggestion—although your current situation is placed on the Among all the captains of the same age, it is considered healthy, but you have really reached the age of retirement, and it is time to consider handing over the White Oak to a reliable successor.”
"It's not that I want to meet this ghost ship," Alice looked at the medicine bottle in her hand, and shook her head helplessly, "But it's okay now, the entire city-state has encountered the Lost Country, and it's just No one cares about the White Oak anymore. As for the bottle of medicine...it's nothing, after all, I have been out at sea for a long time, and I often have auditory and visual hallucinations."

It's time to leave, and it's not a good time to continue providing psychological support after the sun goes down.
"There will be a little bit, but it's more of a herbal aroma. I also added some honey to cover the bitterness," Xiang Yan said, "It won't be difficult to eat."
"...Okay, then I will wait for you here."
"I advise you to take this medicine now, and then go directly to the handover tomorrow, give the White Oak to a confidant you have cultivated since childhood, and go home honestly to live the rest of the day with retirement allowances, Don't **** wait to die in a certain storm one day, I and you can't afford it..."
"Day by day, either the church censors or the psychiatrist visits the door, what kind of trouble did you get into outside!" She said with her eyes wide open, "and what's going on with this bottle of medicine—you I never said that your mental condition is so bad that you need to take medicine to maintain it
The point of holding. "
"This is the last dose of medicine. It is a little stronger than the potion you have used before. You drink it when you are out at sea. You only need eight drops each time-of course, I also recommend that you start now Take it," the psychiatrist raised her head and looked at the gray-haired old captain in front of her, "As a captain who has spent half his life on the boundless sea, you should be more responsible for your body."
This is the home of Alice, the captain of the White Oak, and as a senior old captain, Alice has arranged many furnishings in the living room that can prove his sailing experience--coral specimens collected from offshore shallow waters , models of rudders and ships, totem decorations from some remote city-states, and a large shelf near the wall, which is full of awards and souvenirs issued by the Explorers' Association, city-state authorities, and the seven churches.
"North," Alice said fiercely, "the first place, the 'White Oak', this sea area hit by a storm, you happened to accept an **** mission to Frost...
Duncan put the small brown medicine bottle on the tea table, about three-fifths of the turbid potion could be seen in the medicine bottle. In the rippling golden light, there seemed to be tiny air bubbles continuously separating out of it, jumping endlessly on the liquid surface.
Xiang Yanya listened to his wife's reprimand in a louder and louder voice, just smiled softly, and didn't refute anything. Finally, he put the small brown medicine bottle on the coffee table: "Let's do it one last time."
He is a very tall woman. Although she is old now, she can still see some of her youthful demeanor. Standing here, she is just like standing on a boat back then... or this one on the boundless sea A renowned explorer.
The wife said everything, but waved her hand wordlessly.
The sun was sinking gradually, and the slightly orange-red sunlight was shining in the living room through the glass windows.
"I want to look for it again..." Chris said with a little confidence, "After all... there was no clear news of death back then..."
Fan Na bent down and got out of the car door, narrowing her eyes slightly in the sunlight, at the end of her sight was the living signboard of this antique shop she had visited once.
"It's time for me to leave," Xiang Yan exhaled softly, and got up from the sofa, his eyes fell on the medicine bottle in Xiang Yanya's hand, "Please don't forget to take the medicine—it can effectively help You resist the spiritual influence of the boundless sea."

The figure of the psychiatrist walked towards the car parked at the intersection, while Xiang Yanya sighed softly, turned and returned to the living room.
"Okay, okay, you've said it several times," Fanna waved her hands, her expression a little helpless, "I know everyone at the Cathedral of Storms will be at ease this time, and I will pay attention to the time."
The subordinate's voice came from the car: "How long will you be away?"
Before the shop opened, a thin-looking girl with white hair and white skirt was sprinkling water at the door, and another girl who looked about the same age was hanging the open sign on the door.
"Aye, Captain!
But the male explorer is obviously not in a good mood now.
"Thank you for your suggestion, miss, I know my situation," Chris was not impatient, but he did not have too much enthusiasm, he just picked up the bottle of potion curiously, and held it through the glass bottle in the sun. Looking at the liquid with broken bubbles, "... very beautiful potion ~IndoMTL.com~ is it bitter?"
"She looked at me like this, how many years have you been looking for? You have already passed the retirement age, and the captains who are in the same period as you have retired long ago, and now they can enjoy half of their lives in peace and security. The savings that have been saved, those brainless people who are struggling like you, what is the end of each of them now? Lying on the bed drooling? Lying in the cemetery? Locked up in the madhouse?
And this made me even more hesitant about the idea that I should take a look today.
"Within an hour," Vanna replied,
"Just wait here."
"You will die on this sooner or later!"
The wife raised her voice again, pointing at Chris's nose, "What is that? It's a big storm on the boundless sea! A storm passed, a ship deviated from the course, and no one on board died
If you lose contact, you are dead! do you understand?
Finally, the wife stopped and stared at the medicine bottle on the tea table. After an unknown period of time, she sighed with anger remaining, and muttered as if resigned to her fate: "Where can I find it this time?"
The morning sun flooded the street, and Lawrence was gradually waking up from a sleepless night.
Now, these things that symbolize glory and memory are immersed in such sunshine, coated with a layer of golden brilliance, and gradually brighten in the brilliance.
The wife didn't talk to her, but just stared at this place for a long time, and after a few minutes, she sighed: "Aren't you retiring?"
While speaking, she raised her head and glanced at the sky outside the window.
Fan Na rubbed her forehead, recalling the situation when she visited the antique shop last time, for some reason, he always felt that some of the details were quite vague in his memory now.
