Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 67

[Chapter 67 A Beautiful Morning on the Lost Country]

“Alice! Take care of your head!”

The beautiful morning on the Lost Country began with the captain’s angry roar on the deck.

Duncan stood outside the captain’s room, pointing at the puppet’s head hanging from a nearby beam. The corners of his eyes twitched for a long time before he finally saw a puppet body in a dark purple gothic dress panickedly standing up from the side, putting the Take off the head that hangs in the air.

With a crisp “Bo’er” sound in the air, the puppet lady put her head back, and then trotted over: “Hey…” “

Hey, what are you doing, why are you hanging your head at my door in the morning? “Duncan stared at this cursed puppet that came to life every now and then. Seriously, when he opened the door early in the morning and saw a head floating in the wind, who wouldn’t be surprised? Fortunately, he has been on this ship for a long time, and his nerves are stronger than before, otherwise he might have to lose his temper, “Don’t tell me you are on the lookout—there are pigeons on the watch!” “I washed my hair this morning

… “Alice shrank her neck, and replied cautiously, “I can’t get my hair dry, so I just want to hang it higher to let it dry…”

Duncan: “…”

Alice glanced at Duncan carefully: “Captain… Are you angry?”

“You…reasonable.” Duncan held back for a long time, and finally he could only choke out these words from his bronchus. While restraining the shaking of his face muscles, he had to admit, at least from Alice’s “” Looking at the abnormal 099” lifestyle, it’s really okay to hang your head a little higher to blow the air—the winch on the ship takes a nap as a habit, and the bucket for cleaning the deck has to be rolled to the stern to bask in the sun every afternoon. To live on a boat is to be open minded.

From this point of view, Alice, a puppet who has adapted to life on the ship, is really “integrating” with the ship now…

“Captain, as long as you’re not angry!” Alice laughed immediately. She seemed to have not only adapted to the life on this ship, but also adapted to or understood the captain’s temper. She still respected this powerful ghost captain, but she didn’t Just like at the beginning, she only had pure fear, but now she seems to have let go a lot, and even dared to bargain with the captain, “I can still hang my head…” “No—anywhere except the captain’s cabin door, find it by

yourself place,” Duncan glanced at the doll, “I don’t want to see the heads of the crew members hanging on the door, or the headless body dangling in front of the door.” Alice could only lower her head obediently

: “Oh, okay.”

Duncan still looked at her thoughtfully.

“Captain?” Alice was a little terrified by the other party’s eyes, “Why do you keep staring at me…” “I just

suddenly thought of a question,” Duncan said while thinking, “You will lose your hair, right? Wash your hair Will it fall out when you are young? Then… will you grow your hair?”

Alice was stunned for a moment, her expression was like that of Ai Yi, a pigeon who was suddenly stuck.

After a long time, her eyes suddenly rounded, and she looked at Duncan with a face full of astonishment: “I… I… I haven’t thought about this question at all! Captain, you…” The second half of her sentence was full of surprise

. She started to cry, and dared not say the last few words. She actually wanted to ask “Captain, are you a devil?”, but she was afraid that Mr. Goat Head would scold her after she said this. The image of a natural disaster…

Duncan didn’t care what Alice swallowed back at the end, his thoughts had already diverged: “Look, although you can walk, jump and talk, your body is still like a real person. Like a human doll, you don’t need to eat or drink, and you can press it back if your joints fall off. Then, can I understand that your hair is a non-renewable resource, and if you wash it too much, you will become bald… If you comb your hair too much Also?”

Alice was about to cry: “Captain, why did you think of such a terrible thing…”

Duncan: “Actually, I have been wanting to ask you since you cooked that bowl of fish head soup.”

Although Alice was sad, she was stunned for a moment after hearing this: “But what I cook is only fish soup…”

Duncan said confidently: “Nonsense, there are fish and heads and soup in it, why not fish head soup?”

Alice : “…Captain, you are reasonable.”

The beautiful morning on the Lost Homeland begins when everyone recognizes each other as reasonable.

Miss Puppet left in a trance, she seemed to suddenly have important issues related to the future of life to think about, Duncan was in a good mood, he blew the sea breeze, and then had a simple breakfast – the content was yesterday The fish fillets baked by Alice, shredded cheese, and spirits from the city-state of Pland are not very delicious, but they are the top accompaniments to the current meals on the Lost Country.

In the chart room of the captain’s cabin, the goat’s head looked curiously at Duncan who was in a happy mood: “Captain, what’s wrong with Miss Alice? I noticed that she went back to the cabin absent-mindedly, and hit the door twice when she returned to her room.” She seems to be preoccupied?”

“She is facing a major life challenge, and I don’t think you will have to worry about her fighting with strange things on the ship for a long time,” Duncan shook his hand The wine glass, with a mischievous smile on his face, “But I’m really curious about one thing…” “

Ah? What are you curious about?”

“Curse dolls will really become bald dolls if their hair falls out ?” Duncan seriously discussed with the goat head, “Should there be some kind of supernatural power to ensure…well, to ensure a certain state? It’s a pity that I haven’t had time to discuss this with Alice yet. , she ran away.”

Goat’s head: “…”

Duncan looked curiously at this usually noisy guy: “Why don’t you talk?”

Goat’s head held back for a long time, and finally said: ” You really deserve to be the most terrifying natural disaster in the boundless sea… I can’t even ask this kind of question.”

Duncan shrugged and stood up from behind the nautical table.

“I’m going to leave again,” he said to the goat head, and snapped his fingers at the same time, a cluster of green flames exploded out of thin air, and Ai, a pigeon in the form of a dead bird, descended from the flames and landed on his shoulder, ” As usual, you are in charge of the helm.”

“Of order, captain, your faithful omission will not disappoint you!” Goat Tou immediately agreed with an upbeat tone, and then asked curiously, “Captain, what have you been up to lately?” It seems…very keen on walking in the spirit world? Is there anything on land that interests you?”

Duncan didn’t answer immediately, but spoke after a little thought: “I suddenly discovered recently that after a century of development Afterwards, the world became a little more interesting.”

This is his response after weighing it: this sentence did not reveal any directional information, nor did it expose his lack of knowledge, and at the same time reasonably buried With an introduction, it can make my subsequent frequent attention to the land world more normal, and if necessary, it can also be used as a “reasonable motivation” for the Lost Homeland to return to the civilized world.

And this answer should not violate the image of “Captain Duncan” too much.

The biggest natural disaster in the boundless sea can also be a happy person – because a happy person is compatible with everything.

The goat’s head really didn’t react abnormally, as if all the decisions made by Captain Duncan were taken for granted: “Oh, you are right, after all these years, those weak city-states should come up with something that interests you It’s normal for you to want to use this to amuse yourself… If this is the case, should the Lost Homeland be prepared? Which one are you planning to invade? Purland? Lensa? Or the Frost in the north?”

Duncan Hearing the first half of Goat Head’s words, he was still nodding secretly in his heart, thinking that this number one dog leg really knew how to figure out what to do, but when he heard the second half, his blood started to turn cold – the cooperation of this guy directly turned into a fire, He had to interrupt quickly: “When did I say I was going to invade the city-state? Something interesting just happened, wouldn’t it be a pity to destroy it?”

“Ah… yes, what you said is that my suggestion is too reckless,” Goat’s head immediately changed his words, “Actually, I thought you planned to drive a boat there in the future… Of course, since you don’t have such an idea, then This suggestion should be invalidated. In fact, this is also very good. After all, the big city-state still has some strength, and it is a bit risky to approach rashly…” “Don’t

casually mention the matter of invading the city-state in the future,” Duncan said, looking at the goat’s head, and added worryingly. A layer of insurance, “We have been derailed from the world for a hundred years, and now I want to regain control of the changes in civilized society, which may involve many long-term changes-don’t make redundant plans until I have a clear order.”

” At your command, Captain.”
