Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 581

[Chapter 579 Agatha’s Information]

Duncan knew that there was no need for the goat head to lie to him—or, even if it wanted to lie to him, there was no need to use such poor acting skills.

That sentence without beginning or end was the only memory that the “First Officer” brought out from the subspace – it seemed that it really didn’t know what happened, nor the cause and effect of this sentence.

Duncan held the table with both hands and sat down again on the armchair behind the navigation table. He looked into the goat-headed eyes seriously, as if he wanted to see more secrets from those obsidian eyes: “So, A long time ago, there were some people who were very important to you, and you tried desperately to remember them. At that time, you knew that you would forget many things sooner or later, so ‘remembering them’ became a strong idea. The idea… This idea is so strong, but it still can’t stop the thing from happening – up to now, you can only remember this sentence.” “Maybe… that’s it,” the goat-headed voice said with a trace

of Not sure, “But I don’t feel sorry, I just feel a little confused sometimes…”

It muttered, suddenly stopped, raised its head and looked at Duncan: “Captain, what happened? What happened? What things have something to do with me?”

Duncan sat on the back chair, curled his fingers in the memory, and tapped the table in front of him. The spiritual flames turned into ripples like water waves, and as he tapped, The blow slowly rippled away.

“…The influence of the nameless man’s dream expanded and spread into the real world last night, and I touched a section of ‘roots’ that extended from that dream to the real world. If the guess is correct…I came into contact with It is one of the foundations of the world in the original belief of the elves, Sirandis.”

A snapping sound was heard from under the goat’s head’s neck, and the whole head stopped on the pedestal.

Duncan glanced at it and said calmly: “You’re too late.”

“Ah…ah?”

“After touching Silantis, I entered a dimension that was neither a dream nor a reality. Another Lost Home was sailing in that dimension, and there was also you on that Lost Home. .”

The goat-headed neck suddenly squeaked again.

Duncan didn’t pay attention to the evil noises made by the evil “first mate”. He calmly recounted his experience last night, especially the changes that took place in the “Homeless Gate” on the ghost ship with a strange atmosphere, and the familiar and… The strange “goat head” showed strange reactions.

While he was telling the story, he kept observing the expression and behavior of the goat-headed man opposite him.

The other party’s reaction was not suspicious – in addition to shock, it was shock. Even with a stiff wooden face, the look of shock was obvious enough to be seen at a glance.

“It seems that you are surprised,” Duncan finally finished telling the whole story. He nodded to the first mate on the table, “Now do you know why I am so serious?” “

I… yes, now I completely understand your reaction,” Goat Head said hesitantly, “But I don’t know…I don’t remember…” “I

should have mentioned to you that I also saw a lost ship in subspace. The Hometown, that ship is dilapidated, just like the shadow of the Homeless after a longer period of decay and decay, but the weird thing about that ship is just itself, there is no you on the ship,” Duncan said slowly Said slowly, “And now, I have seen the third Homeless Ship. It is sailing in darkness and fog, and there is another you on it – what about the future? Will there be a fourth or fifth ship? After all, Don’t you have any idea what the state of this ship is now?”

The goat head hesitated. It was silent for a long time this time, as if it was trying to find a “safe” way to deal with this topic. It took an unknown amount of time. , it finally spoke: “I don’t know if you will encounter the fourth or fifth Homeless Ship, and I don’t know how many weird ‘states’ this ship will break up and show, but there is one thing Something that might help you think about it… This ship has not always looked like this.”

“Isn’t it always like this?” Duncan frowned, “I guess… you are not referring to the ‘change’ caused by the Lost Home’s fall into subspace?” “No, it is more huge and thorough than

that change,” The goat head slowly shook his head, “In my chaotic and fragmented memory, it has shown many appearances – huge iron blocks, shrinking and squirming flesh, dark and cold rocks, abstract and terrifying shadows, in the subspace. In the deepest part, it will look different at any time, and this state continues…”

The goat head suddenly stopped.

Duncan heard a low creaking sound and an unsettling dull echo coming from the depths of the cabin. The floor beneath his feet was also trembling slightly, and a nervous “feeling” gradually filled the entire ship. , as if…the whole ship was shaking and losing stability.

“That’s it, I can imagine the state you described.” Duncan said softly.

The goat head nodded cautiously.

The tension and trembling that permeated the entire ship gradually stopped, and the ship regained stability in the real dimension.

Duncan frowned, thoughtfully –

the ship seemed to be about to “collapse” into something else because of the goat head’s “description”, but under the gaze of his “captain”, it finally returned to its original state. Stable containment status.

So, did the changes that took place in the Lost Home in just a few seconds reveal to him some kind of “essence” of the ship? Or… something more?

After thinking quietly for a while, Duncan shook his head and looked at the goat head again: “What do you think about the ‘other you’ on that ship?” “Sorry, Captain, I don’t know.

“

Goat The head muttered in frustration, and for a while, the most it seemed to say were these few words, and the other ones were “I don’t remember.”

Duncan was not surprised by this answer, but then asked another question: “Can you dream?” “

Dream?” The goat’s head was stunned for a moment, but soon it shook its head and answered this time It was particularly smooth, “I don’t dream – your loyal first mate is always alert. After all, I have to keep an eye on this ship…”

Duncan didn’t care about the second half of the other person’s boast. After hearing the goat head’s reply , he just whispered thoughtfully: “Aren’t you dreaming…”

The goat head said a little uneasily: “Captain…”

Duncan glanced at it: “Say.”

The goat head looked a little nervous and hesitant. After a long time, he said: “You just mentioned that on the ship with a strange atmosphere, the captain’s cabin had the words ‘May He linger in the dream’ written on the door of the captain’s cabin, and the ‘I’ in the captain’s cabin was still with you. Mentioning the name Selendis, are you doubting…”

“Yes.” Duncan nodded calmly before the other party finished speaking.

The goat head suddenly didn’t know what to do next.

“But I can only doubt it, unless one day you suddenly regain your memory, and then tell me personally that you have a name – and that name is called ‘Sasloka’.” There was a moment in the captain’s room

. fell into silence.

After an unknown amount of time, the goat head muttered to break the silence: “Most of the ancient legends of elves are weird and contradictory, and in fact they cannot be taken to be true…” “But the more weird and contradictory the ancient legends are, when they suddenly conflict with those

in the real world, When certain clues are connected, it becomes more worthy of further investigation,” Duncan said calmly and seriously, “In the end, you don’t know your past, do you?” “That said, but this…

also It’s too bizarre,” Goat Head muttered, “I don’t want to be associated with this level of ancient legends, and to be honest, look at me now, I’m just a sculpture on the ship…”

Duncan was noncommittal about this. He just shook his head, sighed, stood up from the navigation table, and slowly came to the window, looking out the window at the side of the ship bathed in sunshine and mist, and at the undulating sea in the distance.

A soft tapping sound suddenly reached my ears.

Duncan immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

Agatha’s illusory figure quietly appeared on the window, and she raised her hand and pointed in a certain direction.

Duncan frowned slightly, and then looked back at the goat head that was still mumbling on the edge of the navigation table.

After pondering for a while, he walked over: “Don’t think so much now. In any case, your first responsibility now is to be the first mate of the Lost Home – help me take care of the ship. Leave other matters to me.” I’ll deal with it.”

The goat head suddenly became excited and woke up. Then he looked at the captain who was looking down at him with some surprise. He was stunned for a moment before hurriedly reacting: “Ah, ah, yes, captain, I… …I understand.”

“Well,” Duncan nodded slightly, and then walked towards the door deep in the captain’s cabin, “I’ll go back to the room to rest for a while and collect my thoughts.” The goat-headed voice

immediately Came from behind: “Yes, Captain!”

Duncan didn’t look back. He waved his hand and walked into his captain’s dormitory. After closing the door, he didn’t really go to rest. Instead, he came to the mirror in the corner of the room.

After confirming the movement outside the door, Duncan took a step forward, raised his fingers and tapped on the mirror.

Shadows and smoke rose in the mirror, and Agatha’s figure emerged in the mirror – the former “gatekeeper” who now lives in the mirrors of the Lost Home nodded to Duncan and sent greetings.

“You have something to tell me, and you want to say it here – to avoid the ‘first mate’?” Duncan looked serious, “What’s going on?”

“I heard your conversation with the first mate. Captain, I have something to report to you.” Agatha nodded and said with a cautious face, “Last night, something happened on the Homeless Ship – Its ‘shadow’ disappeared for a time.”
