Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 543

[Chapter 541 To the Moon]

Lucrezia slid out several meters on the deck—this scene happened so suddenly that Duncan didn’t realize what was going on at all.

He didn’t let go of the paper in his hand until the “Sea Witch” got up in a panic.

The piece of colored paper flew out with a “whoosh” and quickly sank into Lucrezia’s hair, but the latter was still standing there a little dazedly, with no expression on his face.

She may have fallen a little confused.

“Lucy…” With the embarrassment of digging a hole in the deck and a subtle apology, Duncan walked cautiously in front of the still dazed Miss Witch, “Are you okay?” Lucrezia shivered

, It seemed that she finally woke up from the stunned state, and then slowly turned her head, the expression on her face finally changed from bewildered to shocked, she looked at Duncan with an incredulous expression, and it took a long time to break the silence: “How did you do it? “

“Ah?” Duncan didn’t respond immediately, “How did you do it?”

“You caught…’Shadow’…” Lucrezia hesitated to speak, as if trying to organize the words to describe clearly This too abstract thing, then she raised her arm again, starting from her fingertips, a part of her arm quickly disintegrated into flying pieces of colored paper, flying around her, “Can you try again to make Shall I take a look?”

Duncan reached out his hand in confusion, and grabbed a piece of colored paper.

In the next second, those swirling colored papers suddenly “collapsed” and became Lucrezia’s arms again, and the expression on the latter’s face was shocked again.

“This is unbelievable!” Miss Witch stared at Duncan with wide eyes. “This has never happened before. Can you tell me how it is done?”

Seeing that this cheap “daughter” seems to have aroused his enthusiasm as a researcher, Duncan had no idea what happened. He frowned and glanced at the colored paper in his hand, with a puzzled expression on his face: “This is very difficult. Is it difficult? It’s just pieces of paper flying in the air…”

“They can’t be grasped, Dad,” Lucrezia spread her hands, “if Phantom Wind can be blown just because a piece of paper is caught How could I possibly regard it as my most commonly used transfer method—these are phantoms, which can theoretically penetrate all obstacles…” “I don’t know

that,” Duncan shrugged, “I just saw these papers I’m a little curious about the picture, I want to grab it and take a look, sorry…I fell in pain? Where did you hit it?”

Lucrezia was slightly taken aback for a moment.

She didn’t seem to have heard anyone care about herself in this tone for many, many years.

Not since she became the mighty “Witch of the Sea”, a cursed man feared by many, and captain of a ghost ship, had he heard it any more.

It made her feel a little awkward.

“I’m… fine,” she shook her head with a weird face, while trying to suppress the embarrassment in her heart, she tried to divert her attention with thinking, “You can catch the phantom…is this also one of your current strengths? What is its essence? Is it a deep understanding of the world? Or is it due to the influence of the subspace?”

Lucrezia was really lost in thought, and her instinct to explore the unknown made her seem to forget the embarrassment just now, as she thought While talking, he continued to mutter: “…Could it be that, on the ‘layer’ of the subspace, there is actually no difference between matter and phantoms in the real world? Everything in the world is the same ‘concept’ in front of the subspace… …Claude Vance’s theory is correct? Everything is a ‘concept’, and it forms a consistent projection in the subspace…”

Duncan listened to the muttering of the witch, and finally couldn’t help but interrupted She: “Lucy…you can study this matter at another time.”

The “witch” woke up instantly, but still stared at Duncan with wide eyes.

Duncan lowered his head, looked at the colored paper in his hand, and couldn’t help thinking in his mind.

He didn’t expect that these gorgeous pieces of paper were such a special “thing”, and seeing Lucrezia’s reaction, his actions just now were obviously enough to be called “shocking”.

I caught the phantom—but Duncan knew that he didn’t have the ability to catch the phantom.

He just didn’t know that the pieces of paper were phantoms.

The thoughts in his mind fluctuated, some past events and conjectures emerged in his memory, and some “things” appeared in Duncan’s mind – it was fish.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly spoke softly as if talking to himself: “Its essence…maybe ‘I don’t know’…”

Lucrezia heard her father’s soliloquy, but she couldn’t hear it. Confused: “What are you talking about? Are you saying that you don’t know the essence of this ability?”

Duncan came back to his senses, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something to this “daughter”, but hesitated a few times After that, he still shook his head.

“It has another meaning, but I don’t know how to explain it to you—Lucy, let’s talk about it later when we have a chance, we have other things now.”

He turned his head and looked at the area that had arrived on the Bright Star. First, the majestic “light wall” exudes a heavy sense of oppression.

“Take me to see that stone ball first.”

Lucrezia nodded, but did not leave, but still stood where she was, looking at her father with tangled and complicated eyes.

Duncan frowned suspiciously: “Is there anything else?”

Lucrezia hesitated for a moment, then raised her finger cautiously: “Can you…can you return that to me first?”

Duncan looked down, I found that I was still holding the colored paper that was split by the other party when I was “doing an experiment” just now.

His face froze immediately, and he let go of his hand while apologizing: “Uh, cough cough, I’m sorry.”

The piece of paper floated up and quickly burrowed into Lucrezia’s arm, refilling an otherwise dull place with color.

The “Sea Witch” looked at this scene with a subtle expression, then nodded to Duncan, turned around and turned into a large swirling piece of colored paper, and was about to fly to the bridge—but she stopped again just after flying less than half a meter away, The figure condensed again, and turned to look at Duncan worriedly: “Don’t catch me this time…”

Duncan said with embarrassment, “…Of course.”

Lucrezia nodded again, turned around, but He turned around worryingly: “If you are curious, we will do the experiment after discussing it next time, really don’t catch it.”

Duncan spread his hands dumbfoundingly: “I definitely won’t catch it, I’m not a child.”

Luke Rezia let out a sigh, but hesitated for a long time when she turned around, and finally sighed: “I’d better walk…”

Then the lady witch walked all the way to the bridge in the distance.

Duncan watched the other party drifting away with a strange expression, and finally couldn’t help but sigh in his heart:

Thanks to that Master Taran Ayer, who didn’t dare to come to the deck with him because of nervousness, he was still lying in the room resting at this time, Otherwise, the scene at this time is not just as simple as father’s kindness and daughter’s filial piety and embarrassment.

I’m afraid it wasn’t for the “Sea Witch” who would choose to blatantly silence her—Talan El would really die on this boat by then.

The messy thoughts in his mind turned around, Duncan exhaled softly, and his mood finally gradually calmed down. At the same time, under the captain’s personal control, the Brilliant Star adjusted its angle slightly, and then sailed straight into that magnificent piece of land. “Light Curtain”.

Like some kind of crystal with substance, the light golden “sunshine” without any sense of obstruction filled the field of vision, gradually engulfing the Brilliant Star.

Duncan stood at the end of the front deck, looking calmly at the “sunshine” rushing towards his face and completely immersing himself in it.

He guessed the nature of the sunlight, and raised his hands slightly, as if to feel the “touch” of the sunlight.

On the way here, he has heard Lucrecia tell a lot of information about this “luminous falling object”, and he also learned that during the time when the sun was extinguished, this piece of luminous geometry was continuously sent out. There are regular “light signals”, which are a lot of information-yet none of them can explain to him the “moon” in the center of the luminous geometry.

Duncan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Small shadows appeared in his field of vision.

That’s what Lucrezia mentioned before, the research site that the elves set up in the center of the glowing geometry, and the… mysterious stone ball next to the site.

The research station is a two-story building built on a floating platform, and the stone ball is less than a few meters away from the floating platform. There are temporary bridges and many steel cables connecting the two to ensure the stability of the platform.

As the distance gradually shortened, more and more details on the “stone ball” came into Duncan’s eyes.

Now, he’s finally confirmed in the real world.

Those familiar lines, those light and dark plains, depressions, and crater structures frequently appeared in his recent memories, and he had seen it more than once in books and on the Internet-the moon.

“It’s really it…”

An inexplicable complex emotion filled my heart—it wasn’t surprise, because Duncan had already been surprised, and it wasn’t dazed, because he had been thinking in confusion before today long time.

At this moment, he just confirmed and witnessed a thing that has been haunting him for a long time, a strange fact that he couldn’t understand or admit, came to him in an undeniable way.

The Brilliant Star slowly slowed down, and under Lucrezia’s control, this “alive” ghost ship like the Lost Land finally stopped at a place only a few meters away from the stone ball with incredible accuracy.

Duncan came to the edge of the deck, where he could even see any subtle lines on the surface of the stone ball.

He is also more and more sure that this sphere with a diameter of only about ten meters has an astonishing “reduction degree”. It is so delicate and conforms to the details of the surface of the “moon” that…it is not at all what he imagined at the beginning “Miniatures”.

It seems that it is exactly the real “moon”, which has been “compressed” to such a size.
