Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 221
[Chapter 221 “Group”]
and those who encountered the Lost Homeland will inevitably establish a “connection” with Duncan. From another perspective, Duncan, an “outsider”, really needs to establish such a relationship extensively in this world. Connection—Only by mastering as many knowledge channels and assistance as possible, can he further understand the world, understand the transcendent domain, and even…understand himself.
The reason why Morris and others were brought on board may be that the situation was urgent at the time, but even if they did not board the ship today, Duncan himself had a plan to expand his “influence” in this world. A few people on the Lost Homeland actually happened to be good candidates.
Morris, an outstanding historian, polymath, and believer in the God of Wisdom, he possesses valuable knowledge, which is what Duncan is most in short supply at present. At the same time, this old gentleman is still a The “upper class” with certain contacts and status can also come in handy at the right time.
Shirley and Agou, the controlled deep demon and the summoner who co-exist with the demon, have combat power, and also have knowledge about the deep field, and even part of the knowledge related to the subspace, and this part of knowledge is just in line with Morris, the “human being”. “Scholar” complement each other. In addition, this pair also has a special perception method, which can detect the traces left by extraordinary power at no cost or with a very small cost.
Nina, well-behaved and lovely niece.
By the way, it is the current carrier of sun fragments.
Duncan’s eyes slowly swept across the long table. Around the long table, some faces were nervous, some were reserved, and some were purely curious.
They didn’t seem to realize that a very special “group” had faintly formed during this dinner, and what held this group together was their common identity at the moment: the crew of the Lost Home
.
“My previous promise is still valid. The crew status of the Lost Homelander will not restrict your personal freedom. I don’t need mandatory allegiance, nor do I need any sacrifices, offerings, etc. – none of this is for me. Meaning,” Duncan said slowly, his voice low, while the soft sound of waves was sounding from the porthole not far away, “but given the connection between you and me that has been established, this connection may be regarded as A…loose team base.
” Frankly speaking, I have been away from the civilized world for many years-Maurice should be very clear that the Lost Country has never been in contact with any city-state in the past century. In the civilized world, there are Many of the horrific stories about me, about this ship, which I admit have a basis in fact, because for many years… the ship was out of control.
“But as you can see, I have regained my humanity and re-stabilized the Lost Homeland, and now… I am very interested in the civilized world a century later.” Duncan said unhurriedly,
and These are the words he had thought about while fishing just now—he needed to “recruit the crew”, but the terrible background of the Lost Country meant that the newcomers on the ship would not have a good entry mentality, so he needed A set of reasonable, gentle, and justified reasons to appease the newcomer’s emotions, so the first step is to establish a “reasonable and friendly” image of the captain.
The Lost Home was once out of control, but now the captain has regained his humanity and regained control of the ship, which was the premise on which the team was formed.
As for whether the newcomers believe it or not… that is the question on the front.
I have to say that fishing is indeed a recreational activity suitable for self-cultivation and thinking—Duncan feels that he should really be grateful for the gift of nature…it is also okay to thank the children of the deep sea.
Hearing what Duncan said, Morris immediately showed a thoughtful expression. In fact, he still couldn’t believe that what he heard was a real voice. In fact, he couldn’t even believe the distorted sound he saw. The Township was what the ship really was, but he recalled the friendly attitude Duncan had shown all the time, and finally began to slowly…convince himself.
At least, if this statement is true, the Warp Shadow’s friendliness will become a little more plausible.
Shirley was thinking, and it seemed that she hadn’t fully understood the situation. Agou, who was sitting next to her, had reacted at this time, and the deep hound boldly glanced at Duncan: “That is to say, you need us to… Your family, help you do something in the world?”
“It’s just possible,” Duncan said with a smile, “when I need it. Besides, I don’t think this kind of relationship is a ‘family’—you are Crew, so you can call me the captain, or you can use the previous name.”
Shirley and Agou said “Oh”, and Morris, who was not far away, suddenly said after a short thought: “Then how will you contact me? Us? Ah, of course, I know you have an avatar in the city-state of Purland, but what I mean is…” “I
understand what you mean,” Duncan nodded slightly before the other party finished speaking, “if I If you want to find you, you will naturally find them immediately, and if you need to contact me when you encounter something, you can call my name or the name of the Lost Homeland directly near the smooth mirror, and I can hear it. In addition, the flame can strengthen My power, if you are in danger, you can ignite the flame after calling my name.”
Morris listened, his face seemed a bit complicated, he was still a believer of the God of Wisdom after all, but at this moment he half-initiated to join a Such a “heretic group” is even learning knowledge from a subspace shadow, which makes him a little awkward, but what makes him even more awkward is… the remaining four stones on his wrist are not at all at the moment. No reaction.
The Lord doesn’t see it, the Lord doesn’t care, the Lord thinks that you are doing the right thing—no matter which answer you give, the old man’s emotions are quite complicated.
Nina opened her eyes slightly after listening to Duncan’s words, and her face was a little excited: “It sounds amazing!”
Duncan glanced at her lightly after hearing the words: “You don’t need any extra flames…”
Nina didn’t realize it all of a sudden: “Ah? Why?”
Before Duncan could answer, she realized again and waved her hand quickly: “Oh, I understand, I understand, I can…”
“Don’t change here!” Duncan saw that the air around Nina had faint signs of distortion, and hurriedly interrupted, “Until you can master the power brought by the sun fragments, you are not allowed to enter the closed space.” Try to switch your form in a crowded place!”
Nina immediately lowered her head, “Oh…”
Duncan watched the air around the girl recover gradually, feeling the heat subside, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
With the help of his “fire usurper”, the sun fragments in Nina’s body have been controlled, but obviously, the girl herself has not fully realized how powerful a power is dormant in her body—no matter how She is mature and sensible, after all, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old. For young people of this age, it is not so easy to suppress the novel impulse brought by the first contact with extraordinary power.
If there is a chance, let her be more familiar with her power in this open and boundless sea. On the one hand, it will enhance the controllability of the sun fragments, and on the other hand, it will make her realize how dangerous the flames originating from the stars are.
“We may add new members in the future,” Duncan thought for a while, and then said, “Then let’s regard today’s gathering as a standard procedure for newcomers to join, I think it will also help to enhance the relationship between team members. “
Morriston subconsciously glanced at the dinner plate in front of him, feeling as if he had seen some reality in a warm atmosphere again –
having dinner under the gaze of the shadow of the subspace, sharing the flesh and blood of the children of the deep sea, and learning to summon the extraordinary Weili’s rituals and incantations, this…
This set is really full of a strong sense of déjà vu.
But what else can I say? I am already a member of this ship, I have accepted Mr. Duncan’s asylum, and the flesh and blood of the sons of the deep sea have been placed in front of me as a key part of this “ceremony”, so it is absolutely impossible to quit at this time, so I can only Like the pigeon next to me who has been eating French fries since just now, accept Zhenxiang’s fate calmly…
With a sigh in his heart, the old man fully accepted this sharp turn of fate, and at the same time comforted himself silently—from today onwards, like those legendary scholars who are enough to leave history, he embarked on a journey to the abyss of truth The point of no return, I am afraid that there is nothing in this world that can make me feel weird and evil again.
As he was thinking this way, he suddenly heard Miss Alice, who had been silent not far away, break the silence—this beautiful lady had been quietly standing behind Duncan all this time, and only then did he seem to realize something: ” Ah, Captain, does that mean I won’t be the only crew member here from now on?”
“You just realized it?” Duncan slightly turned his head and glanced at the doll, “Of course you are no longer the only crew member here, and wait Before they leave, you have to teach them the rules of the crew, just like the goat’s head taught you.”
Alice was stunned for a moment, but after understanding the current situation, she laughed belatedly , clapped his hands happily: “Okay! Then I will…”
The next second, I don’t know if it was because of being too excited, a familiar voice came from Duncan’s ear: “Bo’er—”
A The head, still in the blond wig, dropped right next to him and rolled into the middle of the table in full view.
There was a moment of silence at the dining table, until Shirley’s exclamation broke the silence: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—the head fell off, the head fell off! It fell off!” The scene was suddenly chaotic, and Shirley and Nina’s
exclamation The voices, Agou’s cursing, and Alice’s stammering calls for help came one after another, and Ai’s loud cooing was mixed in between. Morris watched all this with a blank expression, and suddenly felt that he had to fully adapt to this “new team” “I’m afraid it will take longer…
