Deep Sea Ember

Chapter 66 A Beautiful Morning on the Lost Hometown

"Alice! Manage your head! The beautiful morning on the Lost Homeland began with the captain's breathy roar on the deck.

Duncan stood outside the captain's room, pointing to the puppet's head hanging from a nearby beam, and the corners of his eyes twitched for a long time before he finally saw a puppet body wearing a dark purple gothic dress standing up from the side in a panic and taking off the head hanging in mid-air.

With a crisp "pop" sound coming from the air, the doll lady put her head back, and then trotted over: "Hey...... "

Hey." "Hey, hey, hey, why are you hanging your head at my door in the morning?" Duncan stared at this cursed doll that came to life every now and then, to be honest, who couldn't be shocked when he opened the door in the morning and saw a head floating in the wind at the door? Fortunately, he has been on this ship for a long time, and his nerves are stronger than before, otherwise he may not have to be disappointed, "Don't tell me that you are looking forward - there are pigeons on the sentry station!"

"I washed my hair in the morning......" Alice shrank her neck and replied cautiously, "I can't even dry my hair, so I want to hang it higher and blow the wind......"

Duncan: "......"

LoveLiz glanced at Duncan carefully: "Captain...... Are you angry?

"You...... Reasonable. Duncan held back for a long time, and finally could only hold back such a sentence from his bronchi, he had to admit while restraining the shaking of the muscles on his face, at least from Alice's "abnormal 099" lifestyle, there is really nothing wrong with hanging her head higher and blowing the wind - the winch on the ship also takes napping as a habit, and the bucket on the deck has to roll to the stern of the ship every afternoon to bask in the sun.

From this point of view, Alice, a doll that adapts to life on the ship, is now really "mingling" with the ship......

"Captain, it's good that you're not angry!" Alice immediately laughed, she seemed to be not only adapted to the life on this ship, but also to or understood the captain's temper, she was still in awe of this powerful ghost captain, but no longer as simple fear as at the beginning, she now seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and even dared to bargain with the captain, "Then I can still hang my head ......."

"No—you can find a place anywhere except the door of the captain's room," Duncan glanced at the doll, "I don't want to see the crew's head hanging in the doorway as soon as I push the door, or the headless body dangling in front of the door."

Alice could only lower her head honestly: "Oh, okay."

Duncan still looked at her with a thoughtful expression.

"Captain?" Alice was a little hairy by the other party's look, "Why do you keep staring at me......"

"I just suddenly thought of a question," Duncan said while thinking, "You can lose your hair, right, and you will lose it when you wash your hair?" That ...... Can you grow your hair?

Alice was stunned for a moment, her expression was like a pigeon Ai in a suddenly stuck state.

It took a long time for her eyes to suddenly roll and look at Duncan with a face full of astonishment: "I...... I ...... I didn't think about this question at all! She actually wanted to ask, "Captain, are you the devil?", but she was afraid that she would be scolded by Mr. Goathead after saying this, on the grounds that she underestimated the captain's power and over-glorified the image of the first natural disaster at sea............

Duncan didn't care what Alice swallowed back in the end, his thinking had already diverged: "You see, although you can walk, jump and talk, your body is still like a real doll, you don't need to eat or drink, and you can press back if your joints fall, so can I understand it like this, your hair is a non-renewable resource, and if you wash too much, you will go bald...... Combing your hair too much?

Alice was about to cry: "Captain, why did you think of such a terrible thing......"

Duncan: "Actually, I've been wanting to ask since you cooked that bowl of fish head soup before."

Although Alice was sad, she was still stunned for a moment after hearing this: "But what I cook is just fish soup......"

Duncan was confident: "Nonsense, there is fish, head and soup in it, why is it not fish head soup?"

Alice: "...... Captain, you are reasonable. A

good morning on the lost hometown started with everyone recognizing each other's reasonableness.

The doll lady left in a trance, she seemed to suddenly have something big to think about about the future of her life, and Duncan was in a happy mood, he blew the sea breeze, and then had a simple breakfast - the fish fillet that Alice had baked yesterday, chopped cheese, and spirits from the city-state of Prade, which was not very delicious, but it was the best food on the current homeland.

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

"She's facing a major challenge in her life, and I don't think you will have to worry about her fighting with the weird thing on the ship for a long time," Duncan shook his glass with a mischievous smile on his face, "But I'm really curious about something......"

"Huh? What are you curious about?

"Will the cursed doll's hair really turn into a bald doll if it loses its hair?" Duncan seriously argued with Goathead, "Should there be some kind of extraordinary power to ensure that this extraordinary thing is ...... Well, to make sure of a certain state? Unfortunately, before I could discuss this with Alice, she ran away.

Goat Head: "......"

Duncan glanced curiously at this guy who was always very noisy on weekdays: "Why don't you talk anymore?"

The 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 his shoulders and stood up from behind the nautical table.

"I'm going to leave again," he said to the goathead, snapping his fingers at the same time, and a cluster of green flames exploded out of thin air, and the pigeon Ai in the form of an undead bird descended from the flames and landed on his shoulder, "As usual, you are in charge of the helm."

"Obey orders, captain, your loyal following omission will not disappoint you!" The goat head immediately agreed in a raised tone, and then asked curiously, "Captain, you seem to have been ...... lately." Are you very keen on walking in the spiritual world? Is there something on land that interests you?

Duncan did not answer immediately, but after a little thought, he spoke: "I suddenly discovered recently that after a century of development, the world has become a little more interesting.

This is the response he gave after weighing it: this sentence did not reveal any clear directional information, nor did it expose his lack of knowledge, and at the same time reasonably buried an introduction, which can make his frequent attention to the land world more normal in the future, and if necessary, it can also be used as a "reasonable motivation" for the lost ship to return to the civilized world.

And this answer should not be too contrary to the image of "Captain Duncan".

The biggest natural disaster in the boundless sea can also be a happy person - because a happy person is compatible with all things.

The goathead really didn't react abnormally, as if all the decisions made by Captain Duncan seemed to it to be taken for granted: "Oh, you're right, after all, after all these years, those weak city-states should come up with something that interests you, and it's normal for you to want to relieve your boredom...... In this case, should the lost hometown be prepared? Which one are you planning to invade? Plande? Lensa? Or is it the frost further north?

Duncan listened to the first half of the goat's head and nodded secretly in his heart, thinking that this number one dog leg really knew how to figure out the intention of the emperor to set up the stage, but when he heard the second half, the blood suddenly began to cool down - the cooperation of this guy directly turned into an arch fire, and he had to interrupt quickly: "When did I say that I was going to invade the city-state?" Isn't it a pity to destroy something interesting?

"Ah...... "Yes, what you said is that my suggestion is too reckless," Goathead immediately changed his mind, "Actually, I thought you were going to sail over for a while...... Of course, since you don't have this idea, this suggestion should be invalidated. In fact, this is also very good, after all, the big city-states still have some strength, and it is a bit risky to approach them rashly......"

"Don't casually mention the invasion of the city-state in the future," Duncan glanced at the goat's head and added another layer of insurance uneasily, "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 a lot of long-term changes - don't make unnecessary plans until I have a clear order." "At your orders, captain."
