Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 825

[Chapter 806 Far away from home]

Leigh Nora left, taking the flame given to her by Zhou Ming – the traveling queen and her drifting house disappeared into the endless gray mist outside the window, and it was not until long after she left that Zhou Ming felt deeply He took a breath and turned away from the window.

In fact, he has always been curious about how the “Frost Queen” “traveled” in this boundless fog, and the principles and process of that drifting house sailing to the end of the world. After all, even if he knew about that house Even for the escape capsule of the New Hope, it was difficult for him to imagine what kind of power it was now and what it looked like when it was sailing in the fog – but Le Nora herself didn’t seem to be able to explain this clearly.

Facing Zhou Ming’s question, she only answered that this was some kind of “instinct” process. She and the drifting house had become one. When the house traveled to the end of the world, she seemed to be “walking in the fog”. You don’t feel those confusing time and space gaps, and you don’t need to think about the “power” of the cabin.

This sounds very strange, and Zhou Ming can only explain it as that the “escape cabin” retains a complete automatic navigation system, and with the changes brought about by the Great Annihilation, this automatic navigation system may have become that The “extraordinary properties” of a drifting house – just like Alice’s “navigation instinct” now that she is at the helm.

Anyway, the doll didn’t know how the Lost Home was sailed, but that didn’t stop her from letting the ship sail all the way to the end of the world… She

exhaled softly, and Zhou Ming put his mind aside for the time being. Putting the thought aside, he then walked to his desk.

The LCD monitor on the table glowed slightly, and the computer host beside it was still making a slight buzzing sound. This “machine” that looked like a “computer” in his eyes was running as usual, as if waiting for him. Interaction.

But this time, Zhou Ming did not touch the keyboard and mouse on the table. He just sat in front of the table, quietly watching the slowly flashing cursor in the search box on the screen, like… Staring at myself in the mirror that I haven’t seen for a long time.

“You are part of this, and so is this table,” Zhou Ming said softly after an unknown amount of time, “The floor is, the roof is, everything here is… me too. We It’s all, right?”

The cursor flashed silently, as if there was no reaction to Zhou Ming’s words, but slowly, the glow on the LCD screen gradually dimmed – the screen went dark little by little, and finally It became as dark as ink, as black as an empty mirror.

Zhou Ming stared at the empty mirror and saw his own face in the mirror.

And at the edge of his field of vision, on the table, on the wall, on the roof, and even on the shelves and small wardrobes in the corners, these ordinary “home furnishings” that had been used in his memory for many years were represented. Above, the lavender starlight is swelling and emerging.

Some kind of “change” that is almost irrepressible is about to move near the critical point.

A slight itching suddenly came from his arm. Zhou Ming looked down and saw the bonsai-like “World Tree” Silantis floating beside him. This small sapling was suspended in the air, with its crown The branches at the edge poked at his arm, looking a little uneasy.

Zhou Ming was stunned for a while, then slowly stretched out his hand to knock Silendis up and put it on the desk.

“Don’t be afraid, little sapling, the time has not come yet,” he gently comforted Silendis’s crown, a smile slowly appeared on his face, “I will arrange it well, and you will take root in a fertile and stable land. On the ground, there will be bright sunshine and gentle wind… Everyone will have their own place, and Saslokar will be there…

Silantis is quiet on the table The ground is floating, and there is a soft rustling sound in the canopy. It seems that after a long and distant time, the wind in the past memory blows through the top of the World Tree again. The

starlight at the edge of the field of vision is gradually fading, and everything in the room slows down. He slowly recovered as before…

” In the hut, Ni Qingdian whispered to himself, “The time has not yet come…

The goat’s head suddenly raised its head, its dark eyes carved like obsidian. Looking at the figure who opened the door and came in, for a brief moment, it seemed to see the escaping starlight filling the entire cabin, and a tall figure standing in the starlight stepped through the door of the homeless, exuding A force that seemed to crush the Lost Home.

But Nana’s hallucination soon dissipated from Sasloka’s eyes, and it saw the captain walking into the captain’s cabin, just like every day in the past.

“Duncan Abnormar,” Duncan waved his hand and said proactively before the other party spoke, “I just went on a ‘far trip’.”

“…I almost didn’t recognize you again,” Goat Head He seemed to be relieved, and immediately started shouting, “Every time you ‘go out’ these days, you’re a little scary. Sometimes when you come in, I’m not sure what kind of thing is coming in… Hey, I have a bald mouth.” Hi, don’t blame me for being offended. It’s just that I was a little nervous after seeing the scary scene just now. Are you feeling okay? Do you need to go back to your room to rest? They haven’t come back yet, but I guess they should come back, even if it’s Shirley’s appetite. It

‘s time to fill up. We may be almost there, right? Alice is still in the palm…

The noise of the goat-headed joints came like an overwhelming force. Duncan was still feeling a little complicated after returning from the other side of the door. At this time, let As soon as the first mate opened his mouth, all emotions were gone, and he could only subconsciously stare: “Shut up!”

The goat’s head suddenly quieted down with a “croak”, and then it was quiet for a few seconds, and then it hit Chao’s head again, When he spoke again, it was not so noisy, but with a sigh and a smile: “….Welcome back, just be fine. “

…What can happen to me?” Duncan exhaled and walked towards the chart table, but when he sat down, he still looked up at the goat head and nodded with some seriousness, “Don’t Worry. “

His eyes then fell on the nautical chart covered with thin fog.

After crossing the border of the world, the various routes and signs on the boundless sea were no longer visible on this chart that could be updated in real time. Instead, only What remains is the endless gray-white fog, and the faint green trace representing the Lost Home

still floating on the edge of the chart. It has now sailed to the end of the world. Almost half the distance.

The third node is closer – this is the only information that this chart can currently provide.

A hundred years ago, the real Duncan Abnormar sailed the Lost Home to challenge the world’s borders. At that time, was he relying on such a nautical chart that could hardly provide any effective information?

Or… he didn’t even have such a chart at that time?

Some unrelated thoughts came to Duncan’s mind, and At this moment, he heard the lively sounds from the deck outside.

His crew members came back from the Brilliant Star,

and Duncan couldn’t help but feel a little bit of emotion on his face .

With a smile, he stood up from the chart table, walked to the door of the captain’s cabin, opened the door and walked out.

Nina and Shirley, who were playing around on the deck, immediately heard the noise and turned around to look here. , a smile appeared on Nina’s face, and she waved her arms happily: “Uncle Duncan!”

Moss, who was holding a pipe, took off his pipe and bowed to pay tribute to Duncan. Vanna also lowered her head with a smile. , Shirley sat on Agou and rubbed her belly, waving her arms to Duncan cheerfully, and said with gratuitous embarrassment: “I ate a bit too much…

Agou was filled with resentment: “You ate too much Why don’t you go for a walk by yourself? What’s the point of letting me carry you around…

Nina walked over with a smile, carrying a lunch box with a handle in her hand, and happily showed it to Duncan to look at the things in front of her: “These are the sweet pancakes and carrot stew made by Luni. I will put them on the table for you.” Come on, don’t forget to eat~”

After saying this, the girl walked briskly past Duncan and walked into the captain’s cabin.

Duncan always had a smile on his face. He looked at these lively figures, watching them talking, joking, playing, and bragging around him. He saw the sailors also coming out of the cabin and complaining to Moss about the kitchen. The “viscous compounds of unknown composition” in the soup pot were difficult to clean, and Agatha’s figure appeared in the air nearby – Shirley ran away when she saw her, but after just a few steps, Agatha held her up on a chain. Come back…

Duncan just watched from the side, as if he wanted to imprint all these figures in his mind.

This was truly his best day on this ship.

Then, he heard the low roar coming from high in the sky, and felt the slight shaking of the hull of the Lost Home – outside the ship’s side, wisps of color suddenly appeared in the uniform gray-white background. This was the jump channel. End sign.

Above the Lost Home and the Brilliant Star, the phantom of the New Hope is gradually fading, the front end of the jump channel begins to break, and a gray-black and dark red color appears in the thick fog in the distance, followed by the sound of the ship entering the water. ——The destination has arrived.

“…the jump stopped…

a vague and distorted sound reached everyone’s ears.

The people on the deck reacted for a moment, and then ran to the side of the ship in unison, while Duncan looked back subconsciously He glanced in the direction of the stern deck, and the next second, he saw a head sticking out of the guardrail at the edge of the bridge. Alice was waving to him happily: “Captain! We have arrived! It’s the Festival of Fire… …

A head fell from the edge of the bridge, bouncing on the ground a few times, and Guluwei landed at Duncan’s feet.

Alice raised her head and blinked at the captain.

Duncan sighed: “Sometimes, I doubt you did it on purpose.”

Alice thought for a while: “Help, help…
