Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 129

[Chapter 129 Turning the Course]

The second floor of the antique shop is not very big. Apart from the kitchen and the bathroom, there are only two rooms, one is Duncan’s and the other is Nina’s—Shirley, who stayed temporarily, can only stay with Nina. Na slept together.

“Actually, I can sleep in the corridor…” Seeing Nina busy preparing for herself, Shirley seemed a little embarrassed, “Or I can sleep on the ground floor on the first floor…” “That’s not possible,”

Ni While talking, Na raised her head and glanced in the direction of the door—Uncle Duncan has already returned to his room, and now there are only her and Shirley here, plus “Agou” who is napping next to him, “Why? Let the guests sleep in the corridor, and on the first floor…the ones on the first floor are all uncle’s ‘babies’, he will not agree.” “

His baby?” Something——she was so nervous before that she didn’t even take a good look at the place, but now that she recalls it, the first floor seems to be nothing more than a pile of messy looking rags. The “collection” of subspace shadows is really outrageous.

But soon she realized again: here, that “Mr. Duncan” played just an ordinary person, and Nina in front of her seemed to really not know that her “uncle” had other faces.

Thinking of this, Shirley had a strange expression on her face. Under the bright light brought by the electric lamp, she quickly glanced at Nina and said in a low voice, “Are you really not angry?”

Nina stopped making the bed, Raising eyebrows: “Angry? Why?”

“…I’ve actually lied to you for a long time,” Shirley whispered. She had rarely been so embarrassed and whispered in her life, but since she met “Mr. Duncan “, she is now more and more used to speaking in a low voice, “I approached you only because of A Gou’s reminder at first, but I didn’t expect you to believe me so easily, even… so simple. My ‘friend’. I think you should be a little angry.”

“…It’s been a long time since anyone took the initiative to talk to me in school. I thought…” Nina mumbled, but quickly shook her head, “But I’m really not angry, no matter what the reason is , at least you really talked with me, went shopping, and went to museums.”

Shirley didn’t quite accept Nina’s calm reaction, or rather, she had long been accustomed to a colder interpersonal environment, and instead seemed to be exuding Nina, who was surrounded by the warm heat, felt extremely awkward: “You are such a strange person.” “

Have you?” Nina made the bed, sat on it and turned her head slightly, “But it seems that there were people like this a long time ago. Said me…’Why is this child so open minded’, I remember saying that.”

While speaking, she waved to Shirley: “Sit up too, why are you standing there?”

Xue Li froze for a moment, then sat down next to Nina hesitantly, feeling extremely strange in her heart.

She never thought that things would develop into this form.

She was stared at by a subspace shadow and had to live in the opponent’s “nest”. She was in the same room with the “followers” of the subspace shadow. Agou had been huddled in a ball with inexplicable fear since just now, she knew The real situation at this moment is so dangerous, so weird, and maybe even close to death—but when she opened her eyes, there was actually only a warm light in front of her, and a girl with a warm smile.

“The lights are so bright…” Shirley suddenly muttered softly, as if to break the tension, or maybe just to find something to say.

“Is there no electric light where you live?” Nina was a little surprised.

“I live…in an older neighborhood, and there is no electric light there,” Shirley was a little embarrassed, “I still have to use oil lamps after dark.” “Ah…”

Nina opened her mouth, feeling a little awkward in her heart, Then he changed the subject somewhat bluntly, “Do you want to change into pajamas? You can wear mine. I have one from two years ago, and it should fit you well.” “…Okay.

“

“Go to bed early today. Tomorrow is a rest day. I will accompany you to stroll around in the morning and buy you a new dress by the way. Your skirt is burnt.” “…I have no money

.

” A gift from me.”

“…Okay.”

…

Duncan stood in front of the window sill of the bedroom, quietly looking in the direction of the Sixth Street, his expression calmed down.

The two girls had already fallen asleep next door. He didn’t know if Shirley was tired after going through so many things today, but Nina must be tired.

He closed his eyes slightly, and “looked” sideways.

In the dark vision, two clusters of small green flames jumped up.

That was the direction of the next room, and the two clusters of flames were the “imprints” left by him, one of which came from Shirley, and the other… indicated Nina’s direction.

Duncan still doesn’t know what the ashes around Nina mean, what secrets are buried in this city-state, where the “curtain” came from, and who is behind the scenes. with everything.

But he could feel that he was approaching the truth of eleven years ago, bit by bit prying away the dense fog that was condensed by certain extraordinary elements that covered the city-state.

Leaving a “mark” on Nina is an insurance policy. This mark allows him to detect the other party’s state at the first time, and act as a location in an emergency, and if he finds out in the future that the “ashes” around Nina are What’s going on, you can use the power of the imprint to intervene immediately, at least to isolate Nina from the harmful superpowers around her.

But just having a heavy insurance is not enough.

Duncan looked at his hands.

This body is still too weak, and it is too far away from the main body. The power that the main body can transmit and the power that this body can control are limited, and the danger hidden in this city-state may exceed his expectations.

He took a light breath and slowly closed his eyes.

The next second, Duncan on the Lost Home opened his eyes, got up and pushed open the door of the captain’s bedroom.

The goat’s head’s noisy voice came almost without delay: “Oh, Your Excellency the Great Captain! Your loyal following omissions are being calibrated…” “Which

direction is the Puland city-state?” Duncan glanced at the goat’s head, quite skillfully to interrupt the opponent.

“Pu… Pulande City?!” The goat’s head was caught off guard, and the hard wooden face showed a moment of astonishment, but then it reacted, and its tone suddenly became unexpected and excited, “Pulande City The city-state of mankind! Is the great Captain Duncan finally launching a plundering expedition?! Is this your attack target? Are we going to attack the port directly, or plunder the merchant ships passing by the city-state? We can also slowly corrode the city-state’s offshore waters, Gradually block its coastline, the city-state navy may be a nuisance…”

“Shut up, don’t make extra arrangements,” Duncan went straight to the nautical table and knocked on the table. Direction.”

“Oh, ok, ok, as you wish—”

Goat’s head’s voice became a little low and drawn out, he spoke slowly, and in the next second, Duncan noticed the fog-filled A flashing bright spot suddenly appeared on the edge of the nautical chart.

“The Puland city-state you are looking for…should not be too far away,” the goat head said respectfully, “Ah, unfortunately, the nautical chart has been sleeping for too long, and it can only mark the approximate position of Puland , the sea conditions and markers along the way are still shrouded in unknown…” “

It looks very far away,” Duncan glanced at the bright spots in the mist, and judged the range of the proven sea area around the Lost Home, slightly Frowning, “Sailing at full speed, how long will it take to get close to the offshore waters of Prand?”

“Half a month? Maybe a month? Actually, it’s already very fast, and we haven’t really reached the border of civilization yet,” the goat head fluttered I muttered, “You can also choose to let the Lost Homeland advance at full speed in the spirit world, but this is not safe. Although the spirit world itself is not a big threat to us, there are many daring people in the deep sea who may cause trouble… “

The deep sea…

Duncan subconsciously thought of “Agou”, but quickly shook his head: “Then let’s sail in the real sea first, and approach the Puland city-state—the last question, can the city-state not be discovered?” He stared at the

goat head eyes.

As the “captain” of the Lost Home, he asked a bit risky question this time.

Because he should have completely controlled the ship and fully understood the capabilities of the ship.

But he still asked, he was testing his “first mate” a little bit.

There was no emotion in the obsidian-carved eyes of the goat’s head, he just looked at the captain quietly, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke as usual: “…we can hide in the fog, if necessary , you can dive into the reflection of the broken waves for a short time, so that

at least fifteen nautical miles away from the coast, human city-states and ships cannot detect the approach of the Lost Home. Noticing, the cathedral of the city-state will warn. “

“Your experience is from a century ago,” Duncan said with a calm expression, “Does it still work now?” “

Of course,” the goat’s head said briskly, “it’s just a century—the gods won’t make any progress in this century.” “

Duncan breathed a sigh of relief: “Very well, then let the Lost Country approach the city-state of Purdand, and pay attention to hiding yourself. “

“May I ask? ” “Goat’s head said, “What do you want to do? “

I just want to do a test,” Duncan thought for a while, with a slight smile on his face, “see if the wifi will be better this way.”

Goat’s head: “…wi… what do you mean? ” “

” Ask Ai to explain to you later? “

“No! Your faithful following omissions don’t care what that means! “
