Deep Sea Ember

Chapter 26 Starless Night

Seriously, Duncan suddenly found that when this pigeon on his shoulder spoke, Even if he had a nerve thicker than the pillar, it was difficult for him to walk calmly.

At this moment, he wished he could put a parrot on his shoulder like a normal pirate captain - what if he couldn't top a monkey?

But he had already pushed open the door to the chart room, and it was impossible to turn his head back at this time.

In the room where the nautical table was displayed, the goat's head was happily chattering about the twelfth legend of sea fish stew, and the sound of the captain's bedroom door opening finally interrupted the noisy fellow, and his dark wooden head immediately turned in Duncan's direction, and his tone rose to look very pleasant: "Ah, captain!" You are finally out—I want to tell you that Miss Alice is such a wonderful conversation partner, I haven't had such a good conversation in many years, you know......"

Duncan ignored the goat's loud push, but immediately looked at the victim across from the navigation table, and then saw the headless doll sitting upright on a chair, holding its head in its hands, while pressing its ears tightly.

Even so, Alice's eyes were still scattered as if she had taken twelve advanced math classes in a row, and even Duncan didn't react when she walked in front of her.

Duncan: "......"

"She pulled her head out herself," the goat head explained without waiting for Duncan to speak, "Although I don't know why she did this......"

The goat's nagging was so powerful, A cursed doll that can force it to pull out its own head to fight the sound waves?!

And while Duncan was shocked in his heart, the goat head who said he was high finally noticed a strange guy brought out by the captain, his wooden head turned slightly, and his dark eyes suddenly stared at the pigeon on Duncan's shoulder: "Huh? Captain, this is ...... on your shoulder"

"It's called Ai, and now it's my pet." Duncan said succinctly, using as few sentences as possible to avoid possible loopholes, and at the same time observing how Goat Head reacted when he heard this.

"Your pet?" The goat head was obviously stunned for a moment, and then it seemed to think of something in his mind, "Ah, just now the Lost Homeland did indeed sense that you had temporarily left the ship...... Did you go to walk in the spiritual world? This is the loot you bring back during the spirit walk"

spirit walk?

A word he had never heard before suddenly popped up, Duncan thought of the brass compass placed in the captain's bedroom, the handwriting left by the real Captain Duncan, and the wonderful experience of his soul being projected into the distance.

Duncan's voice fell, and the goat's head suddenly complimented him unexpectedly: "Ah! He is truly a great Captain Duncan, who can bring back the spoils of war even with a simple walk in the spiritual world - is this a pigeon? It must be extraordinary to be your pet. You even hung your compass on it? Is this ...... Ah, of course, your judgment is always correct, but what's so special about this pigeon? Could it be that it ......"

Duncan heard something euphemistic from the goathead's compliment, and his heart moved, realizing that the goathead clearly knew the brass compass that was now hanging on Ai's chest, and that this compass was obviously very important to the real Captain Duncan—so important that it should not be casually placed on a newly sprung "pet".

But even if he noticed something was wrong, he couldn't do anything about it, because the compass was now "tied" to the pigeon, and even ...... According to the control feedback of the spiritual fire, the pigeon seemed to be the main body of the compass at this moment!

Duncan thought quickly in his heart, but he still maintained an unfluctuating expression on his face, and it was such a stunned effort that Ai, who was squatting on his shoulder honestly, suddenly made a loud cooing sound, and then flapped his wings and flew in front of the goat's head.

The goat's dark eyes instantly stared at the pigeon, and the latter tilted his head in a serious manner, pecking the goat's head with his mouth: "Do you want to charge Q coins?"

Duncan: "......"

"Abnormal with spiritual intelligence?!" The goat head was obviously stunned, but then he reacted, and his tone was extremely surprised, "This pigeon can actually talk?!"

Duncan immediately reminded tactfully next to him: "You can talk too."

Pigeon Ai also paced two steps on the table, and as he walked away, he muttered to himself: "Is it like a word, like a word, is it like a word......"

Seeing this, Duncan immediately rubbed his fingertips, and suddenly jumped with the green flames, and the pigeon pacing on the table disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye, and returned to his shoulder in the next moment.

"Yes, it has spiritual anomalies, and it is directly controlled by me," Duncan nodded at the goathead, "What else is wrong?"

The goat head hurriedly replied, "Ah...... Of course not, of course not, so there would be no problem at all - everything was in the hands of the great Captain Duncan.

Duncan stopped paying attention to the goat's head, and after quickly ending the topic, he turned his attention to Alice, who was still holding her head in a daze - perhaps the previous open-minded experience had further strengthened the strength of his nerves, or maybe he had become accustomed to watching it after watching it a few times, he didn't think it was too evil when he looked at Alice's head in a daze at this time, but felt that this guy was a bit ...... Cute.

He reached out and patted Miss Doll on the shoulder: "Wake up, wake up."

Alice's body suddenly became excited, as if she had woken up from a long nightmare, and then the head she held in her hand closed her mouth and made a sound: "Boat...... Ship ...... Boat......

Duncan: "You connect your head first."

Alice reacted to this, and hurriedly put her head back in place, and after the joint closed with a click, her voice finally returned to smoothness: "Ah, Captain, are you back?" It seems to have happened just now...... Mr. Goathead finished speaking?

The goat head on the

table immediately spoke: "No, we just talked about some legends about sea fish stew, this topic can be ...... next time"

Duncan said succinctly: "Shut up."

"Oh."

Alice on the

side trembled very clearly the moment the goat head spoke, and a dignified cursed doll actually showed a horrified expression on its face, even if the goat head honestly closed its mouth under the captain's order in the next second, she still glanced in the direction of the navigation table with lingering fear.

Duncan suspected that the doll lady would not step into the captain's cabin for a long time to come.

Thinking of this, he finally asked curiously: "You came to me, what's the matter?"

"I ......" Alice's expression was a little dull, as if her original goal of visiting the captain's room had been forgotten with a conversation with Goathead, but after a few seconds she still reacted, "Ah yes, I just wanted to ask, is there a place on the ship where you can take a bath?" My wooden box was in the sea before, and now I feel a little ...... joints Not very comfortable.

In the end, the expression on Miss Doll's face was obviously a little embarrassed, but in fact, it should be Duncan who was more embarrassed than her - after all, her box was thrown off the ship by Duncan before.

And I threw it several times.

Embarrassment flashed in his heart, and Duncan struggled to keep the expression on his face unchanged, and his tone was flat: "Just for this?"

Alice sat on the chair restrainedly: "Just ...... Just for that.

"For many ocean-going ships, fresh water is an extremely valuable resource, and bathing is a luxury and requires restraint," Duncan said seriously at first, but then suddenly showed a smile, "But you are lucky, the Lost Home is not an ordinary ship, and fresh water is not a problem here." Follow me, there is a bathing place in the cabin below the middle deck, and to get there, you must first go through the upper deck.

Alice immediately stood up - she really didn't want to stay for a second in this place where the goat's head was placed.

Duncan glanced back at the goat's head before leaving the room: "You continue to be at the helm."

After

the explanation, he got up and pushed open the door of the captain's cabin and took Alice to the deck.

At this moment, night has fallen.

The night sky is clear over the boundless sea.

This was the first time Duncan had stood under the clear night sky of this world after many days of clouds.

He suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky, staring motionless at the night.

The night sky was pitch black and starless, with no celestial bodies present.

The only thing that could be seen was a gray-white "crack" that vaguely seemed to tear through the entire sky, that crack stretched across the sky, and its edges extended fine cracks like flesh and blood, and the dull gray-white halo slowly escaped outward from the crack, like blood stains spreading in a pool of deep water.

This "pale scar" across the sky illuminated the entire boundless sea, more than twice as bright as the moonlight in Duncan's memory.
