Deep Sea Embers - Chapitre 67

Chapitre 66: Good Morning On The Homeless

“Alice! Watch your head!”

The beautiful morning on the Lost Country began with the captain’s full-fledged roar on the deck.

Duncan stood outside the captain’s room, raised his finger to the head of the doll hanging on a beam nearby, and his eyes twitched for a long time before he finally saw the body of a doll wearing a dark purple gothic dress. The head hanging in the air was taken off.

With a crisp “Boer” le son dans l'air, Miss Doll put her head back, and then trotted over and said, “Héhé…”

“Hey what hey, what are you doing with your head hanging on my door in the morning?” Duncan stared at this cursed doll who was going to work every now and then. Sérieusement, he pushed the door in the morning and saw a head floating in the wind at the door. Qui est-ce? Not to be startled? Heureusement, he has been on this ship for a long time, and his nerves are stronger than before. Sinon, he is afraid that he will be out of breath. “Don’t tell me you are looking out – there are pigeons at the post!”

“I washed my hair this morning…” Alice shrank her neck and replied cautiously, “I can’t get my hair dry, so I wanted to hang it up a bit to blow dry…”

Duncan: “…”

Alice gave Duncan a careful look: “Capitaine… are you angry?”

“Tu…reasonable.” Duncan held back for a long time, and finally he could only say this from his bronchi. He restrained the shaking of the muscles on his face and had to admit that at least from Alice’s “abnormal 099” lifestyle Look, there is nothing wrong with hanging your head a little higher – the winch on the ship also takes naps as a habit, and the bucket that wipes the deck is rolled to the stern every afternoon to bask in the sun. To live on this ship is to have a wide heart. .

De ce point de vue, Alice, the doll who has adapted to life on the ship, is now really “getting in” with the ship…

“Capitaine, you just don’t get angry!” Alice laughed immediately. She seemed to not only adapt to the life on this ship, but also adapt or understand the captain’s temper. She still respects this powerful ghost captain, but does not Just like at the beginning, there was only pure fear, but now she seems to let go a lot, and even dares to bargain with the captain, “I can hang my head after that…”

“No—anywhere except the door of the captain’s room, find a place by yourself,” Duncan cast a glance at the puppet, “I don’t want to see the crew’s heads hanging by the door, or headless bodies in front of the door when I push the door. Shaking.”

Alice could only bow her head honestly: “Oh, d'accord.”

Duncan was still looking at her with a thoughtful expression.

“Capitaine?” Alice looked a little hairy from the other party’s eyes, “Pourquoi continuez-vous à me regarder…”

“I just thought of a question,” Duncan said as he pondered. “You’re going to lose your hair, droite? When you wash it, trop? Donc… do you grow your hair?”

Alice was stunned for a moment, her expression like the pigeon Ai Yin who was suddenly stuck.

Après un long moment, her eyes suddenly turned, and she looked at Duncan in astonishment: “je…je…I didn’t think about this at all! Capitaine, tu…”

The second half of her sentence was almost filled with tears, and she dared not say the last words. She actually wanted to ask “Capitaine, are you a devil?”, but she was afraid that Mr. Goat Head would scold her for underestimating the captain. Powerful and overly glorified image of the first natural disaster at sea…

Duncan didn’t care what Alice swallowed at the end, his thoughts had already spread out: “Voir, although you can walk, dance and talk, your body is still like a real puppet, no You don’t need to eat or drink water, and you can press it back if you lose your joints, so can I understand that your hair is a non-renewable resource, and you will become bald if you wash it too much… Comb your hair too much?"

Alice was about to cry: “Capitaine, why do you think of such a terrible thing…”

Duncan: “Réellement, I’ve been wanting to ask since you cooked that bowl of fish head soup.”

Although Alice was sad, she was stunned for a moment after hearing this: “But what I’m cooking is just fish soup…”

Duncan said righteously: “Absurdité, there are fish, heads and soup in it, why not fish head soup?”

Alice: “…Captain you are reasonable.”

A good morning on the Lost Homes begins when everyone agrees with each other.

Miss Doll left suddenly, she seemed to suddenly have a major event related to the future of life to think about, Duncan was in a happy mood, he blew the sea breeze, and then ate a simple breakfast – the content was yesterday Ellie Silk’s hand-baked fish fillets, shredded cheese, and spirits from the city-state of Pland are not very delicious, but they are the top meal on the Lost Homes.

In the chart room of the captain’s room, the goat head looked curiously at the happy Duncan: “Capitaine, what’s wrong with Miss Alice? I noticed that she returned to the cabin absentmindedly, and hit the door twice when she returned to her room. Aller…she seems to be very worried?”

“She’s facing a major life challenge, and I don’t think you’ll have to worry about her fighting with the weird stuff on the boat for a long time,” Duncan shook his glass with a mischievous look on his face. Souriant, “But I’m really curious about one thing…”

“Ah? De quoi est-tu curieux?”

“Does the Cursed Doll really turn into a bald doll if its hair falls out?” Duncan seriously discussed with Goat Head, “Should there be some kind of extraordinary power to ensure that this kind of extraordinary thing… une, To ensure a certain state? Too bad I didn’t have time to discuss this with Alice before she ran away.”

Goat Head: “…”

Duncan glanced curiously at this guy who was always very noisy: “Why don’t you talk?”

The goat head held back for a long time, et a finalement dit: “You are indeed the most terrifying natural disaster on the boundless sea… I can’t ask this kind of question even if I kill you.”

Duncan shrugged and rose from behind the sailing table.

“I’m leaving again,” he said to Goat Head, snapping his fingers, and a green flame burst out of nowhere, and Ai Yin, a dove in the form of an undead bird, descended from the flames and landed on his shoulders.” Comme d'habitude, you are at the helm.”

“Oui, Capitaine, your loyal following omission will not disappoint you!” Goat Head immediately agreed with a high tone, and then asked curiously, “Capitaine, you seem to be… very keen on walking in the spiritual world recently? Oui? Is there anything on land that interests you?”

Duncan didn’t answer immediately, but after thinking for a while, il a dit, “I’ve recently discovered that after a century of development, the world has become a little more interesting.”

This is the response he gave after weighing it: this sentence did not reveal any directional information, nor did it reveal his lack of knowledge, et en même temps, it buried a reasonable introduction, which can make him pay more attention in the future. The behavior of the land world is more normal, and if necessary, it can also be used as a “reasonable motive” for Homeless to return to the civilized world.

And this answer should not go too far against the image of “Captain Duncan”.

The biggest natural disaster on the boundless sea can also be a happy person-because the happy person is compatible with all things.

Goat’s head really didn’t react abnormally, as if all the decisions that Captain Duncan made were taken for granted: “Oh, vous avez raison, after all these years, those weak city-states should make something to interest you. It’s normal that you want to relieve your boredom… Dans ce cas, should Homeless be prepared? Which one are you planning to invade? Plante? Rensa? Or Frost further north?”

Duncan listened to the first half of Goat Head’s words and nodded secretly in his heart, thinking that the number one dog-legged man really knew how to figure out what to like and set up a stage, but when he heard the second half, his blood began to cool – the cooperation of this guy directly turned into a fire. , he had to interrupt quickly: “When did I say I was going to invade the city-state? An interesting thing has just happened, wouldn’t it be a pity to destroy it?”

“Ah… Oui, what you said is that my suggestion is too reckless,” Goat Head immediately changed his words, “Réellement, I thought you were going to drive a boat around in the future… Bien sûr, since you have no such idea, then this suggestion It should be abolished. En réalité, this is also very good, après tout, the big city-state still has some strength, and it is a bit risky to approach it rashly…”

“Don’t mention the matter of invading city-states in the future,” Duncan glanced at the goat’s head and added a layer of insurance without worry, “We have been derailed from the world for a hundred years, and now I want to regain control of the changes in civilized society, which may There are a lot of long-term changes involved – don’t overdo it until I have a clear order.”

“Follow your orders, Capitaine.”
