Deep Sea Ember

Chapter 67 New Connections

Goathead is a dangerous guy, and Duncan has known this from the beginning - its danger is not only that it is an anomaly of unknown origin, but also that it was loyal to the real Captain Duncan, and it still acts and thinks according to the old rules to this day.

From the perspective of the goathead, the city-states on land are meaningless, the mortals in the city-states are ridiculous, and the weak city-state fleets are all food, and they are plundered and hunted...... It is the "daily life" of the lost home.

Duncan didn't know how long it would take him to adjust the goat's thinking habits, but he knew that the process had to be subtle - using some reasonable reasons to change himself and the style of the homeless man was the safest way.

He glanced at the goat's head quietly on the sailing table, and confirmed that the other party had taken over the sails and rudder system of the Lost Home, and then pushed the door and walked into his bedroom.

This afternoon, Nina will return to the antique shop, and before that, he will have to let Pigeon Ai complete more test projects.

The door to the captain's bedroom closed, and the goat's head stared quietly in the direction of the door in the dark, silent for an unknown amount of time, until it was confirmed that the captain's consciousness had set off for the spiritual walk, and it muttered softly as if it were talking to itself: "Really not affected by the subspace......"

In the darkness, the wood-carved goat's head creaked and turned, It seemed to be looking around the room, and it seemed to be looking around the room, looking around the ship.

"Lost home, lost home...... What kind of terrible thing did you catch back then......"

......

Duncan had returned to the familiar dark space, and he felt his will stretch between countless starlight and shimmering lines, and at both ends of the extension trajectory were the Lost Homeland and the antique shop in the city-state of Prade.

It seems that as the time of this "two-line connection" is prolonged, this feeling is becoming clearer, and he can now perceive the situation in the antique store without even deliberately concentrating - he can also remotely control the body in the store to perform some simple daily activities.

This is obviously a good thing, an antique shopkeeper who spends more than half of his time "sleeping" in the store is obviously suspicious, and even if the body just gets up and moves and stands at the door for a minute or two, it can dispel a lot of unnecessary eyes.

Duncan did not immediately "transmit" his main consciousness to the city-state of Prade, but stopped in the dark space, he carefully sensed the changes in the space, and then looked back at his side.

In the vast darkness, in the placeAi, in the form of a bone pigeon, was hovering silently, his ghostly body constantly sprinkling green fire in flight, and in the center of the area where Ai was circling, there were some vague phantoms.

Among those phantoms were the sun amulet that he had brought to the Lost Home, a simple and old short dagger, a piece of cheese, a round cannonball, and a hard dried salted fish.

These were all "test items" he had prepared before departure, to further detect Ai's ability to carry items and changes during carrying.

The short dagger was found in the cabin, it might have belonged to a certain sailor, it was an "ordinary item" without thinking, the cheese was taken from the kitchen, it had the property of not perishing, the shells came from the ammunition depot, and the dried salted fish was one of the catches of the last fishing, which had just been dried in the past two days - in fact, it was not very thoroughly dried, but it was already hard.

Duncan looked at Ai hovering around these phantoms and nodded slightly: "So you carry items like this every time."

Ai flapped his wings and let out a hoarse and sharp cry: "Sit firm, sit firm!"

Duncan smiled, then concentrated and prepared to project his main consciousness.

But at the moment of concentration, he suddenly saw a strange glimmer of light emerging at the end of the light flow pointing far away towards the city-state of Prade!

Duncan immediately stopped, looking in amazement at the light that flickered in countless dim stars—the light seemed to be there originally, but it only turned from dark to light in the moment of his concentration, as if it had been suddenly noticed, and began to exude a clear sense of presence.

What was

that?

Duncan tried to move towards the glimmer in confusion, and with just one thought, he had already crossed the vast darkness, and the glimmer quickly expanded in front of his eyes, turning into a stream of light flowing in front of his eyes.

Only then did he realize that there was still an undetectable "connection" between this flowing light flow and himself - just like the connection between his body on the lost hometown and the spare body in the antique shop.

This is...... Another spare body to be chosen?

Duncan couldn't help but have such a conjecture in his mind, but he quickly shook his head - the shimmering light flowing in front of him was far better than the light points representing the "body" in terms of scale, such a large ray of light...... It is not so much a body to be selected as a huge item that has established a connection with oneself.

In the midst

of hesitation, he made up his mind and reached out to touch the light carefully......

In the next second, a huge and unfamiliar "perception" suddenly flooded into his mind - he couldn't see the things around him clearly, but he felt the sea breeze blowing on his body, felt the waves slowly rising and falling around him, he felt many people walking around him, even walking on his body, he heard the sound of people talking from all directions, but all the sounds were mixed together, and it seemed to be through a thick curtain, and he couldn't hear it clearly at all.

He vaguely realized that he was perceiving the environment through the perspective of a behemoth, but this behemoth was not suitable for his spirit to descend directly, or there was some kind of power protecting this thing, blocking the invasion of his own power, so all his perceptions showed a state of being delayed and obscured.

This behemoth seems to be staying on the sea near land, and many people are gathering here.

There was a tense and serious atmosphere in the crowd, they seemed to be solemnly dealing with some risk factors, and everyone's conversation was low and concise.

Duncan tried to concentrate, trying to hear what these voices seemed to be talking through the heavy drapery.

He worked hard for a long time before finally hearing a word that was mentioned repeatedly from these buzzing and overlapping sounds - White Oak.

Duncan took back the hand that touched the light flow, and looked at the floating glimmer in front of him in some astonishment.

The glimmer of light floated in the darkness, faintly showing the phantom shadow of the ship.

White Oak ...... The name seemed a bit familiar, but I couldn't remember when I had heard it.

Duncan struggled to think and recall, and finally churned out some superficial impressions in the depths of his memory, he recalled the ship he had crashed into when he first took the helm in his spirit state, and he recalled that he seemed to have seen its name on the side of the ship when the Lost Home passed through each other...... That ship seems to be called the White Oak.

Immediately afterwards, he remembered the newspaper he had bought in the city-state of Prade, and an inconspicuous section of the newspaper at that time seemed to mention the matter, saying that the ocean-going ship White Oak, which had been missing for several days, would call at port in the near future......

Duncan stared blankly at the glimmer of light floating in front of him.

This is the White Oak, which was responsible for escorting the anomaly 099.

The old captain and his crew, who had tried to call out to him, seemed to have finally arrived in the city-state of Prade—which was quite gratifying.

Obviously, he has established contact with the ship.

Could it be that the connection was established after the "spirit world collision" accident? Because the flames of the lost hometown spread to the White Oak?

Duncan had a faint conjecture in his mind, and he speculated about the various attributes of his spirit flame, and at the same time, he was also thinking about whether his connection with this steamship would be useful.

After drifting on the Lost Homeland for so long, he attaches great importance to every connection between himself and the civilized world.

Now it seems that although the White Oak has docked, it is still in some kind of blockade and surveillance state, and those who are nervous should be the "professionals" of the city-state who specialize in dealing with transcendent visions.

Obviously, for people in the city-state, a ship that has lost its way at sea is dangerous, and the experience of the other party in negative distance contact with the lost home may also be a major pending matter.

Duncan is still a little conscious of himself and the famous name of the lost home.

After thinking about it for a while, Duncan stepped back cautiously, not continuing to touch the mist in front of him.

As the number one boss in the Boundless Sea, he did not plan to deal with the protectors of the city-state, and without knowing what the details of those "extraordinary experts" were, he did not want to reveal the fact that the White Oak had established a connection with "Captain Duncan".

He didn't want his connection with the steamship to be discovered and erased—anyway, the connection was established, as solid as an anchor line under the sea, and he could wait patiently, and the White Oak's surveillance would be lifted one day.

At that time, maybe he would be able to talk to the old captain calmly.

Find out what the old captain was shouting to himself when the wind and waves were too strong.
