Deep Sea Ember

Chapter 53 "Heir"

During her own "departure" from the Lost Home, Alice's activity on the ship slightly exceeded Duncan's...... anticipation.

He always thought that this goth doll was an elegant and decent young lady's painting style - although she turned around, surfed, and trash-talked, she was indeed elegant and quiet under normal circumstances, and she was very cautious in everything she did on the boat, honest and dutiful when she was in an unfamiliar environment, and even lay quietly in her own box like an ordinary doll when she had nothing to do, highlighting the harmless painting style of a person or animal.

But now it seems that she is only so quiet when she is nearby?

The suddenly low atmosphere in the room made Alice feel a little nervous, and she cautiously glanced at the expressionless Duncan: "Captain, are you angry? I can explain ......"

"I know, you're helping, it's just an attempt," Duncan glanced at the doll lady, his tone a little helpless, "But since you also know that many things on this ship are 'alive', can you confirm with me or my first mate the next time you want to do something?"

Alice immediately nodded repeatedly and agreed loudly: "Okay captain, no problem, captain!"

Then she immediately turned her head to the goat's head, and muttered in a low voice: "Is there such a thing as an attempted help?"

The goat's rare concise words: "Now I have it."

"Okay, if you really want to help, go check the dried fish hanging on the deck, or go to the kitchen to tidy up the warehouse where the ingredients are stored to make some space, and we may have the opportunity to replenish the food on the Lost Home," Duncan sighed, looking at Alice, "Don't deal with the artillery and ammunition depots below deck - they don't have complete intelligence like goatheads, and those dangerous things only react instinctively to external stimuli, and if the ammunition depot thinks it has been damaged or invaded, then I can only use a broom and dustpan to rescue you."

Alice shrank her neck when she heard this, and turned around and left the captain's cabin in agreement.

But looking at the puppet leaving, Duncan couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

This is indeed a very interesting guy - the little chaos is not worth worrying about, but this lifeless ghost ship is indeed lively because of her tossing up and down

"It seems that you are in a good mood, captain," the goat's voice came from the side, "Ah, you have something in your hand...... What is that? Is it the harvest of this spiritual walk? Like the knife last time?

Duncan glanced at the sun emblem in his hand - he left the spirit in the room, and the emblem was in his hand, ready to study it when he was bored.

"It's the trophy," he nodded, "just like the ritual knife last time."

"Oh! Worthy of the great Captain Duncan! You always come home with a full load, and it's an extraordinary thing with amazing power at first glance...... Wait, is this a sun talisman?

"Do you know this thing?" Duncan raised his eyebrows, "That's right, Sun Charm, a few daring cultists stuffed this thing into me - it's hard to refuse."

"I...... However, he knew a little ...... goathead seemed to be carefully observing the emblem, his voice slightly hesitant, "The madmen who followed the ancient real sun regarded this object as a sacred object, they believed that by casting it in the shape of the real sun with metal and quenching it with human blood, the power of the sun could be infused into the seal, and through this method, extraordinary things with weak power could be manufactured in batches...... This amulet is a status symbol of a certain status among the followers of the sun, and it is also a tool they use to identify with their comrades and to distinguish between believers and heretics......"

"Distinguish between believers and heretics...... "It does have this function," Duncan understood, "although I personally feel that this function is useless."

"What happened to those daring cultists?" Goat Head seemed to hesitate for a moment when he said this, "Most of them are paranoid and ignorant madmen, even the lowest pirates are unwilling to deal with this kind of madman chasing ancient things, if they dare to offend ......"

"They are no longer in this world," Duncan said while observing Goat Head's change in tone while controlling his expression, "It seems that you don't like these people who call themselves 'Sun Believers' very much."

After dealing with Goat Head for such a long time, Duncan had actually roughly figured out the doorway of this weird "first mate", he was basically sure that as long as he, "Captain Duncan", took charge of this ship well, this goat head would not have any out-of-control changes, on this basis, his courage when talking to the other party was also increasing little by little.

Now, he can already cautiously take the initiative to ask the other party for some information.

"Who would like those madmen who follow the ancient real sun? The 'light' and 'order' they yearn for are no longer tolerated by this world," Goathead answered Duncan's question as usual, "Even if it is a lost home, it will bathe in the sunshine of this era, even if it is an evil spirit wandering in the deep sea, it will not like the 'sun' before the deep sea era - probably only those cultists will think that the resurrection of the real sun is a good thing......"

Speaking of this goat's head, he paused, and said with a hint of emotion: "But then again, ninety-nine percent of the cultists are actually just a bunch of brainwashed idiots, and they don't know what they follow and worship. The Sun Heir regards the ancient world described by the Sun as the Kingdom of Heaven, but in my opinion, the Sun Heir does not regard those fanatical believers as his people at all...... They are no different from the descendants of the deep sea. The

heir of the sun? What does this mean? And it sounds like there are some deep-sea descendants? What kind of thing is this?!

Duncan's heart moved, a new unfamiliar noun jumped on his face, bringing new confusion, he calmly fiddled with the sun emblem in his hand, as if casually asking, "Sun heir?" I didn't meet them.

"It's normal, the heirs of the sun don't dare to show up in the civilized world casually, even if they pretend to be humans, the hyenas of the Holy See can smell the stench of heresy from their shadows in minutes - after all, they are also a kind of 'heirs', as the remnants of ancient things, they should stay honestly in the gutter of history...... Alas, among all kinds of 'heirs', they are the only ones who can do things like this.

Duncan suddenly discovered that Goathead's nagging from time to time was actually very good - although 9,000 out of 10,000 sentences a day were nonsense, but as long as luck caught up, it could also pop up useful information!

Because he had not yet fully grasped the details of this goat's head, Duncan's "inquiry" could only be sidelined, and the question was too explicit, but even in such a side-knocking inquiry, he quickly grasped many clues that he had not been able to grasp in the Prince city-state before

——

This seems to be quite important information, there are some so-called "heirs" in this world...... Creatures, and they are invariably intolerated by the civilized world, and goatheads call them "the remnants of ancient things";

Although the number of believers who worship the "true sun god" is huge, it seems that most of them are just insignificant pawns, ignorant, blind and brainwashed "fanatics", and in their "church" structure, there is a higher and more real ruling class than them...... It is the family called the "heir of the sun";

Those sun descendants do not often appear in the civilized world, they seem to have other secluded places that are not known to the world, and influence the sun god sects in the world through remote control, secretly collecting sacrifices and energy;

Finally, and the most important point for Duncan at present:

Goathead is full of contempt for those cultists and the "Sun Heirs" who stand behind the cultists.

This shows that the Lost Home, or "the real Captain Duncan", is not in the same camp as these guys called "heirs"...... It should even be counted as a hostile camp.

It seemed that it was the right decision to tell Goathead about his dealings with the "Sun Cultist" during this spiritual walk—otherwise, he didn't know when this useful information would be known to him.

This kind of overly secret knowledge would not be written in Nina's textbook.

Duncan left the captain's cabin, holding the sun amulet, and walking thoughtfully on the deck of the Lost Home.

There are many types of heirs, and according to the information revealed by the goat's head - the descendants are all the remnants of ancient things, coupled with the fact that the sun believers follow the "ancient real sun" before the Great Annihilation, he has reasonable reason to suspect that these so-called descendants are most likely the products of the Great Annihilation, and their birth may be traced back to the "Order Era" before the Great Annihilation.

There are "children of the sun" at sea level, and there are also "children of the deep sea" in the deep sea.

Duncan unconsciously walked to the side of the ship, he peeked over at the deep blue sea outside, and felt a little curious.

Haili ...... Isn't it just fish?
