The hard, dark face of the wooden goat head stared at Duncan sitting behind the sailing table, and the obsidian eyes seemed to have an eerie glow – in fact, this thing had no ability to produce expressions at all, but Duncan Clearly read some kind of anticipation from the other party’s wooden face.
In fact, this is not the first time Goat Head has urged him to “set sail”, every time he comes here, Goat Head will do so once.
He even felt that the ship was constantly urging him to end this blind sea drifting as soon as possible, and set sail to return to the right path as soon as possible.
However, Duncan was silent, and his now dignified face was covered with dark clouds. In his contemplation and silence, he clearly realized two problems:
First, he was the only one on the whole ship, and the scale of the ship was simply insanely large – as a sail-powered ship, this ship called “The Lost Homeland” It is roughly estimated that the distance from Duncan is at least 150 to 200 meters, and to control such a behemoth, there must be at least dozens or even hundreds of experienced sailors. How can he be alone? open?
Secondly, after removing the above professional factors, there is still a key problem that hinders his sailing journey – he can’t sail.
Duncan was a little anxious. He tried hard to assume what would happen if he asked the weird and noisy goat head in front of him to teach ship piloting skills, and he was even more anxious after assuming.
However, Goat Head didn’t know what its captain was thinking, it just asked: “Captain, do you have any concerns? If you are worried about the situation of the Lost Country, then you can rest assured that the Lost will always be Are all ready to sail with you to the end of the world, or are you worried about the unlucky sailing today? I have a little knowledge of divination, but I don’t know which kind of divination do you believe in? Celestial phenomena, incense, and crystals will do. When it comes to crystals, Do you remember…”
Duncan tried to stretch the muscles on his face, and while restraining the urge to fight the goat head in front of him, he said in a deep voice: “I’ll go to the deck to observe the situation – you stay here quietly.” /
“At your will – but I must remind you that Homeless has drifted blindly for far too long, and you must take charge as soon as possible to get the voyage back on track…”
said the goat head, and then with the sound of wood rubbing, it finally returned to its original posture.
In an instant, Duncan felt that the whole world had come to a standstill.
He let out a light sigh of relief, the resonance of the brain gradually calmed down, then picked up the flintlock gun on the table, got up and walked out of the captain’s room.
He found this old-looking flintlock gun while exploring the boat, along with a one-handed sword, which is currently hanging from his waist, and these two things are The guarantee of his sense of security when he moves on the ship.
In the past few days of exploration, he has spent a long time learning roughly how to use both of these things – although so far, he has not seen any living creatures on the ship other than himself.
Talking “items” don’t count.
The salty sea breeze blows, and Duncan’s slightly irritable mood calms down. He goes to the deck outside the captain’s room and subconsciously looks up at the sky.
Thick dark clouds still covered the sky as far as the eye could see. No sun, moon and stars could be seen in the clouds, only the turbid sky light shrouded the boundless sea.
This has been going on for a long time, in fact, since the day Duncan came to this ship, he has only seen sky like this – it even makes him wonder if there is no normal weather in this world at all, Is this cloudy scene the eternal celestial phenomenon on this sea area?
Duncan turned around and saw the door to the captain’s cabin standing there silently, with a line inscribed on the beam above the door in some alphabet he didn’t recognize, and when his eyes focused on the line When he went up, its meaning was directly and clearly reflected in his mind:
“Gateway for the Homeless”.
“Gate of the Homeless… Homeless,” Duncan muttered to himself, before laughing at himself, “This ship has a good name.”
Then he walked around the captain’s room, and along the stairs at the edge of the deck came to the upper deck at the stern, where there is a wooden platform, and the place with the widest view of the whole ship except the observation deck is here.
A heavy black steering wheel waits silently on the platform for the helmsman to arrive.
Duncan frowned. For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency and agitation that seemed to arise out of thin air the moment he saw the wheel.
He hadn’t felt this way the few times he’d been here before!
As if in response to this anxiety in his heart, a chaotic wind suddenly blew across the deck, and the originally calm sea around it also instantly waved, although the wind and waves were not too strong for the large-scale ” What was the impact of “Homeless”, Duncan was alarmed, and the next second, he looked in the direction of the bow under the intuition.
On the sea directly in front of Homeless, between the chaotic sky and sea, a boundless, sky-high wall of white mist seemed to emerge out of thin air, causing his eyes to widen instantly!
It was the white mist that seemed to surround and isolate the whole world, connecting the heaven and the earth like a cliff and rolling over it. Compared with its heart-pounding scale, what made Duncan (Zhou Ming) more vigilant was that That thing reminded him instantly of the boundless fog outside the window of his bachelor apartment!
Homeless is heading straight for that fog wall!
Duncan didn’t know what that thick fog was or what was in the depths of the fog, but he instinctively felt the great danger, and his survival instinct told him that being swallowed by the thick fog was never a good thing. !
He subconsciously rushed to the platform where the rudder was located – a huge sense of powerlessness also shrouded: even at the helm, how could he drive this huge ship away from the fog wall by himself ?
But he still instinctively came to the wheel, and almost at the same time, he heard a hoarse and gloomy voice coming from a copper pipe next to the wheel that connected to the captain’s cabin, it was “goat head” The voice – the tone of the strange thing was a little panic this time:
“Your Excellency Captain, there is a collapse of the frontier ahead, and we are approaching the limit of reality! Please adjust the course immediately!”
Hearing the panicked voice of Goat Head, Duncan almost yelled at him – Adjusting the course is easy to say, but you conjured up 180 good brothers who can sail for me on the spot to drive this thing!
Immediately after, he looked up at the direction of the mast ahead, and saw a few bare masts standing on the deck, and his grief was even better – not to mention sailing, in fact, this ship did not have any Sail, those poles are empty!
Under his emotions, he didn’t even bother to seriously think about the weird words that came out of Goat Head’s sentence just now. Only instinct made him subconsciously grab the steering wheel that seemed to be shaking slightly for some reason.
For the first time in days, he had put his hand on the helm of the Homeless—the strange situation on the ship and the repeated urging of the goat’s head had always made him doubtful. “It was full of conflict, and now, he finally had no chance to hesitate~IndoMTL.com~ He held the rudder tightly, and his blank mind didn’t even have time to think how to take control of an empty ship with one person. Human ghost ship.
Change will happen in the next instant.
The sound like a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis exploded in Duncan’s mind, as if there were 10,000 cheering people standing on the shore to see off a ship, as if there were thousands of sailors shouting on the deck With the captain’s name, there seems to be a mixture of desolate boat songs and invisible stormy waves.
A green flame appeared at the edge of his field of vision. Duncan looked at his palm subconsciously. He saw a group of green fire suddenly burst out from the steering wheel of the Homeless, and swept over with amazing speed. It spread all over the body in the blink of an eye.
In the blazing flames, the flesh and blood suddenly became hollow and illusory, the captain’s uniform became worn and tattered as if it had been soaked in sea water for dozens or hundreds of years, and suddenly became illusory flesh and blood like a spirit body. Underneath, Duncan could even vaguely see his own bones – flames jumping on the crystal-like bones, and the unquenchable fire ran through his body like water.
However, he didn’t feel the slightest pain or heat. In the raging flames, he only felt that his perception was spreading in all directions.
The fire swept down from the bridge, over the deck, over the side, over the mast, the flames interwoven like a net, and rose from the deck like breathing, spreading all the way along the solitary mast, In the end, the sea and the fog are intertwined into a huge sail like a gauze and fog.
The Homeless set sail, before the rapidly collapsing frontier of reality.
