Deep Sea Embers Chapter 67: New Contact

Goat's Head is a dangerous creature, Duncan has known since the beginning - not just because it's an obscure anomaly, but because it served the real Captain Duncan, and it's still according to the rules to this day. The old ways of acting and thinking.

From the perspective of Goat's Head, the city-states on land are meaningless, the mortals in the city-states are stupid and ridiculous, the weak city-state fleets are all food, and plundering and killing them... is the "everyday" of Homeless.

Duncan doesn't know how long it will take him to adjust the goat-head's thinking habits, but he knows that the process must be subtle - it is safest to use some reasonable reasons to change himself and the style of Homeless. Method.

He took one last look at the goat's head, who was quietly waiting on the sailing table, and confirmed that the other party had taken over the sail and rudder system of the Lost Country, and then pushed the door into his bedroom.

This afternoon, Nina will be back at the antique shop, and until then, he will have Aye the pigeon complete more testing projects.

The door leading to the captain's quarters was closed, and the goat head quietly stared in the direction of the door in the dimness. It was silent for an unknown period of time, until it was confirmed that the captain's consciousness had set off for the spiritual world walk, and it seemed to be talking to itself He whispered softly: "I really wasn't affected by the warp..."

In the darkness, the head of the wood-carved goat creaked and turned, as if it was looking around the room, and it seemed as if its eyes penetrated the room and looked around the whole ship.

"Homeless, ah, Homeless... What terrifying thing did you fish for back then..."

…

Duncan has returned to the familiar dark space, and he feels his will extending between countless starlight and shimmering lines, and the two ends of the extending track are the Homeless and the one located in the city-state of Pland. Antique shop.

It seems that as the time of this "two-wire connection" prolongs, this feeling is becoming clearer and clearer. Now he doesn't even need to concentrate deliberately to perceive the situation in the antique store - he can also remotely Controlling the body in the store to carry out some simple daily activities.

This is obviously a good thing, an antique shop owner who spends more than half of the time "sleeping" in the shop is obviously suspicious, and even if the body is only up and moving, standing at the door for a minute or two , can dispel a lot of unnecessary attention.

Duncan did not immediately "transmit" his main consciousness to the city-state of Pland, but stopped in the dark space. He carefully sensed the changes in the space, and then turned to look beside him.

In the vast darkness, Ai, who is in the form of a bone dove, is hovering silently. The ghostly body is constantly shedding green flames in flight, and in the center of the area where Ai is hovering, there are some vague phantom.

Among those phantoms were the sun talisman that had been brought to the Lost Land, a quaint old short dagger, a piece of cheese, a round cannonball, and a hard dried salted fish.

These are the "test items" he prepared before departure to further test Ay's ability to carry items and changes during the carrying process.

The short dagger was found in the hold of the ship, it may have belonged to a sailor, it is a mindless "ordinary item", the cheese is brought from the kitchen and has the property of incorruptibility, the shell comes from the ammunition depot, the salty The dried fish is one of the harvests from the last fishing. It has just been dried in the past two days-in fact, it has not been thoroughly dried, but it is already hard.

Duncan looked at Ai who was hovering around these phantoms and nodded slightly: "So you always carry things like this every time."

Ai flapped her wings and let out a hoarse and sharp cry: "Sit tight, sit tight!"

Duncan smiled, then concentrated his mind and prepared for the projection of his main consciousness.

But at the moment of concentration, he suddenly saw a strange glimmer of light appearing at the end of the light stream that pointed to the city-state of Perland!

Duncan stopped immediately, looking in amazement at the gleaming light among the countless dim stars—the light seemed to be there originally, only changing from dark to bright in the moment of his concentration, then As if he was suddenly noticed, he began to exude a clear sense of presence.

What is that?

Duncan tried to lean towards the shimmering light in doubt, but just a thought, he had already crossed the vast darkness, the shimmering light rapidly expanded in front of his eyes, and turned into a undulating wave in front of his eyes. light flow.

Only then did he see that there was an untraceable "connection" between the undulating light stream and himself - just like his own body on the Lost Homes and a spare body in an antique store the same connection.

This is...another alternate body to choose from?

Duncan couldn't help but have such a guess in his mind, but quickly shook his head - the shimmering light in front of him was far greater in scale than the light spots representing the "body", such a large light... instead of To say that it represents the body to be selected, it is better to say that it is some kind of huge object that has established a connection with himself.

In hesitation, he made up his mind and reached out to touch the light discreetly...

In the next second, a huge and unfamiliar "perception" suddenly flooded into his mind - he couldn't see the things around him, but he felt the sea breeze blowing his body, and the waves slowly undulating around him. , he felt that there were many people walking around him, even walking on his body, he heard people's conversations coming from all directions, but all the sounds were mixed together, as if separated by a thick curtain, Completely inaudible.

He vaguely realized that he was perceiving the environment through the perspective of a behemoth, but this behemoth was not suitable for his spirit to descend directly, or there was some kind of power protecting this thing and blocking his own power Intrusion, so all his perceptions are delayed and blocked.

This behemoth appears to be resting on the sea near the land, and many people are gathering here.

There is a tense and serious atmosphere in the crowd, they seem to be dealing with some dangerous factor solemnly, everyone's conversation is low and concise.

Duncan struggled to concentrate, trying to hear what the voices seemed to be talking about through the heavy veil.

It took him a long time to finally hear a repeated word from these humming and rumbling voices - white oak.

Duncan took back the hand that touched the flow of light, and looked at the floating glimmer in front of him with some confusion.

A shimmer of light floats in the darkness, vaguely revealing the phantom of the ship.

White Oak... the name seems familiar, but I can't remember when I heard it.

Duncan thought hard and recalled, and finally he had some superficial impressions in the depths of his memory. He recalled the ship that he collided with in the spirit world when he first took the helm. When the other party penetrated and passed by, he seemed to have seen its name on the side of the ship... That ship seemed to be called the White Oak.

Immediately afterwards, he remembered the newspaper he bought in the city-state of Pland. At that time, there was an inconspicuous section in the newspaper that seemed to mention this matter, saying that it was the ocean-going ship White Oak, which had been missing for a few days. Will be in port in the near future...

Duncan stared blankly at the glimmer of light floating in front of him.

This is the White Oak, which was responsible for escorting the White Oak of Anomaly 099.

The old captain and his crew who had tried to speak to him seem to have finally arrived in the city-state of Pland - which is quite a joy.

Obviously, I have established a connection with this ship~IndoMTL.com~ Could it be that the connection was established after the "spiritual collision" accident? Because the flames of the Lost Homes had spread to the White Oak?

Duncan had a vague conjecture in his heart, and speculated on the various properties of his own spirit flame. At the same time, he was also thinking about whether the connection between himself and this steamship could be What comes in handy.

After so long aboard the Homeless, he values ​​every connection between himself and the civilized world.

Now it seems that although the White Oak has arrived at the port, it is still in a state of blockade and surveillance. Those nervous people should be the "professionals" of the city-state who specialize in dealing with extraordinary visions.

Obviously, for people in the city-state, a ship that has been lost at sea is dangerous, and the experience of the other party's negative distance contact with the Lost may also be a major issue to be tried.

Duncan is now somewhat self-conscious about himself and the surname of Homeless.

After thinking for a while, Duncan stepped back cautiously, not touching the haze in front of him.

As the number one boss of the Boundless Sea, he doesn't intend to deal with the protectors of the city-state, and he doesn't want to expose the fact that the White Oak has been with "Captain Duncan" without knowing the details of those "super experts". "The fact that the connection is made.

He didn't want his connection to the steamship to be discovered and wiped out--the connection had been established anyway, as strong as an anchor under the sea, and he could wait patiently, the White Oak's surveillance It will be lifted one day.

At that time, maybe he will be able to chat with the old captain calmly.

Find out what the old captain was shouting to him when the wind and waves were too strong.
