Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 845

[Chapter 826 The last dinner party]

The jump was over, and the Lost Home and the Brilliant Star sailed out of the uniform gray-white “background color”, and with a slight shaking and trembling, the two ships sailed into the calm, mirror-like water.

After such a long journey to the end of the world, the two ships finally returned to the beginning of everything, back to the node where they originally arrived – the resting place of Queen Leviathan.

Compared with when they left, it seemed that nothing had happened. Changes, the sea is still calm, and the dark islands floating on the endless sea are still hidden in the mist, and in the deepest part of the mist, the largest island is showing its shadowy outline, looking a bit dreamy The

color

is just much quieter than before – because even the tiniest ripples have disappeared on the water, and the low murmur that was always there in the mist has now dissipated, even the wind blowing On the deck, the sound of wind that reached my ears seemed vague and distant.

Everyone came to the deck. They gathered near the ship on the front deck, looking at the long-lost islands and sea in the distance. After a long time, Nina was the first to break the silence: “Unknowingly… we have already I have been sailing to the end of the world for so long…”

“Yeah, it’s been so long that I almost forgot that this journey is limited,” Moss stood quietly next to Nina, the ruby lenses in his eyes adjusting their focus, ” …I think I will always remember what I saw and heard along the way.”

Fanna looked back at the old man and said, “That will surely become another series of great discoveries and corresponding academic papers that can shock the world.”

Mo. Si was silent for two or three seconds: “No one is writing or reading papers now – the world has begun to cool down, and there will be no discoveries that can shock the cooling ashes.”

Fanna shook her head: “Then leave it to The longer future – when the flames are rekindled and people start to think again and begin to seek knowledge and wisdom.”

Shirley lay next to the guardrail, looking into the distance for a while, and then finally came to her senses. He muttered softly like he was talking to himself: “Hey, we are back after all.”

Duncan stood behind everyone. Now, he felt that one after another eyes finally fell on him: his crew members were waiting for his orders.

Duncan had already been prepared for this moment – when it really came, he just took a breath and calmly ordered: “We docked next to the island where the temple is located, and then everyone transferred to the Brilliant Star Exhibition Let’s leave, we can keep in touch through the flames later.”

Luxia opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn’t speak.

“Before that,” Duncan said again, “let’s go to the restaurant and have another dinner together.”

Footsteps came from not far away. It was Alice who was walking onto the deck. Miss Doll had finished her work as a helmsman and came here. Looking for the captain and companions.

“Alice, it’s time to show off your skills,” Duncan turned his head and looked at the walking puppet with a smile on his face, “We’re going to have a dinner next.”

Alice was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but soon her face Then she burst into a bright smile, held her head and nodded happily: “Hey! Okay!”

“I’ll bring Luni and Nelu here,” Lucretia said immediately, “They can help in the kitchen – “By the way, there’s also the fine wine collected on board the Brilliant Star.”

“I’ll help too!” Nina also said quickly, smiling with enthusiasm and warmth like the sun, “The cooking will be faster if I help!” “

Alice looked at the scene with some confusion, and waved her hands subconsciously: “Hey, there is no need for so many people, I can do it alone…”

The doll suddenly stopped and thought about it seriously, Wuqing He sighed: “Okay, then come if you are willing to help…”

In this way, preparations for a special dinner were quickly completed. The Lost Home sailed through the archipelago, passed through the fog, and headed towards the When the black island with the huge temple slowly approached, Duncan and his followers gathered in the dining room on the ship.

The long table that had hosted many dinner parties and received every visitor who came on board was once again placed in the dining room. In the middle of the scene, Nina lit every lantern on the pillar next to her with a flame as bright as the sun, while Luni and Alice put sumptuous food and wine on the long table. At the end of all things,

light and warmth briefly Reappearance – it even seems to make people forget that long night on the endless sea, as well as the biting cold that pervades the entire world outside the cabin.

Then, Duncan sat in the middle of the dining table, Nina sat on his left, and Alice sat on his right. On both sides, Moss, Shirley, Ago, Sailor, Luni, and Nina sat in sequence. Rue, even Aye the pigeon and Agatha in phantom form without needing to eat have their

place.

At the ends of both sides of the long table, there were three more vacant chairs – Duncan ordered these three positions to be prepared, but did not say who these three positions were reserved for.

After everyone sat down, Nilu, a small doll that was only a few dozen centimeters tall, climbed from her chair to the table. She held a huge wine bottle and started running around filling the wine glasses in front of everyone. Enter the fine wine – the private wine from the hostess of the Brilliant Star. It exudes a strange fragrance.

The dark red wine is as red as blood, reflecting the brilliance of the sun in the glass.

Duncan picked up the wine glass, but suddenly remembered something, stood up and looked around, his expression became a little subtle.

After a while, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he silently moved his chair around to the opposite side of the long table.

Upon seeing this, Alice followed without hesitation her own chair, and continued to sit on Duncan’s right hand as a matter of course. The pigeon Ay followed closely and flew over. Others on the other side of the long table watched. Seeing the captain’s inexplicable behavior, his expression looked a little confused.

“That position was unlucky just now,” Duncan tugged at the corners of his lips, not knowing how to explain to the others the confusing associations in his mind just now, and then waved his hands to the people across the table, “Just don’t move. It’s a good ride – it’s auspicious.”

The “people” across the way were stunned as they listened to Duncan’s explanation. No one could follow the captain’s thoughts. Moss realized that this seemed to be someone who had not been seen for a long time and only the captain could understand. “subspace joke”, Nina blinked a few times and suddenly laughed.

Duncan glared: “What are you happy about?”

“Nothing, I just feel relieved suddenly,” Nina looked at with a smile. Looking at Uncle Duncan across the table, “You said the word “unlucky” seriously at this time, which is more reassuring than anything you said to me before.” “

Duncan’s eyes trembled. He already understood the implication of Nina’s words, but he didn’t say much. He just coughed twice and said, “Ahem, as I told you before, this trip is on the ship. After the last dinner together, we docked on Queen Leviathan’s sleeping island, and then split up

, do you understand? “

Yes, I understand, Uncle Duncan,” Nina looked at Duncan across the dining table with bright eyes. Then she raised the cup in her hand with a little expectation on her face, “Then I can drink some fermented grapes today.” Juice or wheat juice? “

Duncan felt as if he hadn’t heard Nina say this to him for a long time.

A smile appeared on his face and he nodded slightly: “It’s OK today, Shirley, and you can too – you don’t have to drink secretly today. . “

Shirley was swinging the wine glass around in her hand. When she heard the captain’s words, she was shocked and raised her neck subconsciously: “I’ve never drank secretly!”

Duncan looked at Shirley with a half-smile: “You secretly drank.” When you were drinking the wine stored on the ship, didn’t you notice that the wine bottles, wine glasses and wine liquids were all made of various “mirrors”?

Shirley was stunned: “…”

Duncan smiled and shook his head, raised the glass in his hand: “Here’s to this journey.

“

“

So, everyone who had hands raised a glass, and everyone who had a mouth and throat drank, and those who couldn’t drink spilled their wine on the floor of the Lost Home and toasted the ship.

Even Ai was very serious .

Putting her mouth into the cup,

Alice looked more solemn than ever. Then she stood up and began to distribute soup and cakes to everyone around the long table. She opened the soup pot in the center of the table, which was full of rich fish soup. It was a meal that everyone on the ship must eat after boarding the ship. On the big plate next to the soup pot were sweet pancakes baked until golden brown. They were

delicacies from Plande and were the captain’s favorite food.

After Alice divided the food, Nelu ran to the table again, holding up soup bowls and plates with noodles and delivering them to everyone – only the little doll as tall as an adult’s arm flexed on the table. She was running around. Her newborn mind didn’t seem to understand what “this

journey ” meant, but she looked very happy.

“I didn’t expect this little one to be able to do things now,” Shirley said curiously .

Looking at the little doll running around on the table, he said with disbelief in his tone, “I remember that when I first saw her, she couldn’t move. She was lying in a wooden box. She was said to be Lu Ni’s sister a long time ago.

After lying

in a doll shop for a hundred years…”

“Nelu’s awakening was very successful, and the process of injecting reason and humanity into her was incredibly smooth,” Lucretia said casually, “Maybe it’s because of the special environment at the border. Coupled with Runi’s influence…this little kid has a tendency to be ‘activated’ from the very beginning. “

Nelu ran to Lucrecia, happily put down the soup bowl, opened her hands, and made a small voice: “Trend! “

Duncan looked at this scene with a gentle smile. After a while, he suddenly said: “Have you ever thought about the new world? Nina

was stunned for a moment, as if she didn’t understand: “… things in the new world?”

“What do you want in the new world?

“

Or…” Duncan thought for a while and looked at everyone across the long table seriously, “What does the new world in your imagination look like? “
