Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 826

[Chapter 807 The Island of Ashes]
The huge ship shadows of the Lost Home and the Brilliant Star passed through the thick fog at the end of the world and sailed into a calm sea area of material existence, and the destination of the voyage was clearly visible – it was in front, it was a piece of land floating on the vast ocean. A desolate, ash-covered land at sea.
Except for that small piece of land that looks particularly desolate, there are no other iconic objects in the entire sea. There are only many condensed floating ash floating on the mirror-like water, reflected in the chaotic sky light. , those gray explosions floating in the water are like… falling clouds.
The Lost Home sailed in a narrow channel made of ash balls, slowly heading towards the deserted island in the distance. The sea outside the ship’s side reflected the clouds and mist, and coupled with its mirror-like texture, at that moment, Duncan even felt The ship seemed to be sailing in the clear and clear sky – floating fog and ashes gathered around the two ships like clouds, and some deep grays looked like islands floating in the sky. The Lost Home The passage did not cause any ripples on the sea, but only slightly disturbed the nearby gray masses and fog, causing them to break and gather around.
Shirley was on the guardrail of the ship, looking at the scene on the sea with Ah Gou in amazement. Although she had witnessed many incredible sights with the Lost Home, she still couldn’t help but feel excited every time she reached a node in the journey. The world is captivated by these incredible sights.
“Agou…I feel a little bit that lack of vocabulary is really a troublesome thing these days,” Shirley muttered in a low voice, her voice was very low, as if she was afraid of being heard by the captain, but she didn’t use symbiosis The spiritual connection of the contract seems to still hope that someone can hear me muttering, “I can only think of ‘f*ck’ at this time, but this is very beautiful…
“Give you two more copies?” The dog shook his head slightly, “Why don’t you finish reading those books you hid under the bed first?”
Shirley was shocked when she heard this, and quickly thought about the dog’s head: “Shhh”
Duncan listened. Shirley and Agou were muttering, but he didn’t pay attention to these things. His attention was completely focused on the approaching land ahead – as the distance grew closer, he could now see it. There are many details about the island.
It is flat, barren, and barren. It is an isolated island with a small well. As the final resting place of a “god”, it is not as grand as the temple of Queen Leviathan. As spectacular
as
the Crystal Cemetery of Pilot 2, there isn’t even a single building on that island. All that can be seen is ashes, dust, and some rising smoke.
In an inexplicable mood, Duncan docked the Lost Home on the sea near the isolated island, and then boarded the island in a small boat.
This was the node of fire, but the remaining fire was obviously fading from this land-now this one. Warm ash can be seen everywhere, and dark red burn marks extend in the ash explosion, which seems to be gradually fading every second.
There is a soft and loose touch of ash under the feet, as well as warmth. In the hot temperature, Duncan and his party landed on an open beach on the edge of the desert island and cautiously moved towards the depths of the island.
There were no roads on the island, and only fine ash covered everything here. Everyone walked extremely carefully to avoid danger. Tripping over gravel or something under the ashes – no one wants to fall into the ashes, especially if they’re not sure what unusual properties the “ash” has.
“I feel like my shoes are filled with dust…” ….Ahhh, it’s all on her skirt too… Shirley couldn’t help but muttered after walking a short distance, “I need to take a good bath when I get back, there’s all this dust everywhere!”
… ….This should have been filled with fire, and only when the flames burn out will such a scene be left,” Lucretia’s voice came from the back of the team, and the witch lady walked gracefully among the ashes, holding an unknown amount of time in her hands. There was a gorgeous parasol, but there was a breeze surrounding it. The wind prevented all the ashes from staining her body. She looked into the distance, “You can still see some smoke pillars in the distance, and the fire there may not be there yet.” Completely out, but for the entire island…it was just a few sparks. “
Nina glanced at the witch lady who still maintained her elegant demeanor even in such a place, and couldn’t help but make an envious voice: “Magic is so convenient…”
“Are you envious? You have been staying up late every day for a century. “Change,” Lucretia glanced at Nina with a smile, then turned to look at Duncan, and raised the parasol in her hand, “Do you need it? I have a spare umbrella – it can help you keep it safe.” Clean and breathe easy. Duncan
looked at the ash stained on his body, then looked up at Lucretia’s fairytale-style lavender parasol, and his eyes twitched: “No need.” “
“I can change it to black for you,” said Crecia with a serious look on her face. “If you want, you can also have a skull pattern on the handle. “
Before Duncan could say anything, the scene of the captain walking on the road holding a dark gothic-style parasol flashed in Shirley’s mind next to her, and she was lucky not to be frightened.
Duncan looked at it with a straight face. He glanced at Lucretia and silently ignited the flames on his body.
His body turned into a spirit body in the flames, floating and walking above the ashes, and said in a low voice: “I have my own way. Lucretia
shrugged her shoulders and raised the corners of her mouth in amusement at an angle that her father wasn’t paying attention to. Shirley on the other side seemed to suddenly react and slapped her hand: “Yes, I seem to have my own way… ….
Before she finished speaking, there was a series of crackling sounds of bones coming from her body. Then, dark smoke and dust enveloped her whole body, and ferocious crackling bone fragments spread and grew from her body. In the blink of an eye, she transformed into the form of a tall ghost demon – and then used the twelve skeletal limbs behind her to prop up her body and walk above the ashes.
“This is much better, and the view is better,” Shirley’s slightly mature and hoarse voice came from high up. She used the end of her long jointed limbs to poke at the pile of ashes on the ground, and couldn’t help but mutter. He said, “…I don’t know why, I just don’t like the dust here. It’s not that it’s dirty, but I always feel that it feels weird…uncomfortable when it gets on my body.”
Hearing the snow As Li muttered, Nina, who was walking beside Duncan, also frowned and tugged on Duncan’s sleeves: “I feel the same way. It’s very uncomfortable when these ash gets on my body, so… I can’t breathe, I can’t walk, I feel like I’m trapped by something.”
Duncan stopped immediately. He was only amused by Shirley’s behavior just now, but now his expression became serious.
“Do you feel this way?” He immediately turned back and looked at the rest of the team.
“No,” Alice was the first to shake her head. Miss Doll also lowered her head to check her body and moved her joints. “It just feels like the ashes have penetrated into the joints. It’s itchy. I need to take a good bath after I go back.” “
I have the same feeling as Shirley and Nina,” Moss said in a deep voice, “The environment here is not quite right…it is different from the realms of the Storm Goddess and the God of Wisdom. , there seems to be something “active” deep in these ashes, exerting an influence on us. “
Having said this, he paused, as if he was judging something carefully, and then shook his head: “But I didn’t feel any direct malice, it seemed to be just part of this “environment.”
Duncan frowned when he heard this, and turned his head. Looking in another direction: “Fanna, what about you?”
There was no response.
There were only ashes that could not be seen, but Duncan was sure that just at the last moment, Vanna was still standing in that place – he even felt that he saw the other party’s fleeting phantom, which was silent until just now. Standing there.
The surroundings fell silent for a moment, and Nina looked in that empty direction in shock. A question emerged in her mind almost subconsciously: Who is Vanna?
But at the moment when this question was about to take shape, jumping flames appeared in front of her eyes, and then a large amount of information crazily poured into her mind as if awakening from the numb ice – the
youngest inquisitor of Purland …Strong strength and firm belief…Beautiful long silver hair…He was always meticulous when he first got on the ship, but after getting to know him, he found that he was actually a cheerful and optimistic person. A friendly person…seems a little resentful about “not being able to get married”…very tall…
Nina raised her head with a trace of confusion, and the countless information swirling in her mind was reorganized. , Fanna’s appearance was sketched in front of her eyes from time to time, but it turned into a bunch of blurry fragments in an instant. She saw an invisible wind blowing across the island, the fluttering ashes were picked up by the wind, and there was a tall figure vaguely in the wind. The figure –
that figure is walking towards the center of the island, as if walking in a parallel time and space, without looking back, like a traveler who has forgotten everything in the past and is on a long journey.
Nina woke up with horror, and suddenly raised her hand to point to the figure that was quickly disappearing in the wind and ashes: “Over there! Vanna went over there! I just saw her walking over!”
Everyone seemed to wake up with a start, and in the They looked at each other in confusion. The fragmented memories about Vanna and the illusion that emerged in the wind made it difficult for everyone to tell whether the surroundings were real illusions. But at this moment, the captain’s calm and majestic voice suddenly broke the seemingly constant flow. The sunken “quagmire” where virtuality and reality are intertwined, and the perception is sinking rapidly –
“Everyone get back on the boat!”
The green flames suddenly dispersed, burning out a stable area in this ash-strewn open space, Mo. Si looked up and saw a rotating flame door opening next to Duncan, and Ai’s figure was hovering above the door.
“The ashes here are burned history,” Duncan said quickly, “Go back to the ship immediately.”
“What about you?” Nina confirmed it and spoke subconsciously.
“…I have to go and bring Vanna back,” Duncan said, looking up at the stretching, seemingly endless ashes in the distance, “By the way, go find Tarijn.
