Deep Sea Embers

During her "leave" on the Lost Country, Alice's activity on the ship was a little bit more than Duncan's... expected.

He has always felt that this gothic doll is an elegant and decent young lady—although she turns around, surfs, and talks trash, but she is indeed elegant and quiet under normal circumstances, and she is very cautious in everything she does on the boat. When in an unfamiliar environment, he is honest and responsible, and when he has nothing to do, he will even lie quietly in his box like an ordinary doll, highlighting a harmless painting style for humans and animals.

But now it seems that she is only so quiet when she is nearby?

The suddenly low atmosphere in the room made Alice feel a little nervous. She carefully glanced at the expressionless Duncan: "Captain, are you not angry? I can explain..."

"I know, you are helping, but you just failed." Duncan glanced at Miss Doll, with a helpless tone, "But since you also know that many things on this ship are 'alive', next time you want to do something, you can Can't you check with me or my mate?"

Alice immediately nodded again and again, and loudly agreed: "Okay Captain, no problem Captain!"

Then she immediately turned her head to the goat's head, muttering in a low voice: "Is there such a thing as attempted help?"

The rare succinctness of the goat's head: "Now there is."

"Okay, if you really want to help, go check the dried fish on the deck, or go to the kitchen to tidy up the warehouse where the ingredients are stored, and free up some space. In the future, we may have the opportunity to replenish the Lost Home "Duncan sighed, looked at Alice and said, "Don't deal with the artillery and ammunition depots below the deck-they don't have complete intelligence like the goat's head, those dangerous things will only do something to external stimuli. Instinctive reaction, in case the ammunition depot thinks it has been sabotaged or invaded, then I can only rescue you with a broom and dustpan."

Alice shrank her neck when she heard this, and repeatedly agreed to turn around and leave the captain's room.

But watching the puppet leave, Duncan couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

This is indeed a very interesting guy-the little chaos is nothing to worry about, and the lifeless ghost ship is indeed lively because of her tossing up and down.

"It seems that you are in a good mood, Captain," the voice of the goat's head came from the side, "ah, you have something in your hand... what is that? Is it the harvest of your spiritual journey this time? What about the small knife?"

Duncan glanced at the sun emblem in his hand - he left the spirits in the room, and the emblem was in his hand, ready to study it when he was bored.

"It's a trophy," he nodded, "it's the same as the ritual knife last time."

"Oh! As expected of the great Captain Duncan! You can always return with a full load, and you are also an extraordinary thing with magical power... Wait, is this a sun talisman?"

"You know this thing?" Duncan raised his eyebrows. "That's right, the Sun Amulet. A few daring cultists gave me this thing—it's too kind to refuse."

"I... know a little bit..." The goat head seemed to be carefully observing the emblem, and his voice was slightly hesitant, "The madmen who followed the ancient real sun regarded this object as a sacred object, and they thought that the real sun was made of metal It can infuse the power of the sun into the talisman by quenching it with human blood. Through this method, extraordinary things with weak power can be mass-produced... This kind of talisman is a person with a certain status among the followers of the sun. a status symbol, and a tool they use to identify their fellow men, and to distinguish believers from heretics..."

"Distinguish between believers and heretics... There is indeed this function," Duncan understood, "although I personally feel that this function is useless."

"What happened to those daring heretics?" Goat's head seemed to hesitate when he said this, "They are mostly paranoid and ignorant fanatics, even the worst pirates are unwilling to follow this kind of chasing ancient things. to deal with the lunatics, if they dare to offend..."

"They are no longer in this world," Duncan said while observing the change in Goat's head's tone while controlling his expression, "It seems that you don't like these people who call themselves 'Sun Believers' too?"

After dealing with Goat Head for such a long time, Duncan has actually roughly figured out the way of this weird "first mate". There would be no out-of-control changes. On this basis, he became more courageous when talking with the other party.

Now, he can cautiously ask the other party for some information.

"Who would like those madmen who follow the ancient real sun? The 'light' and 'order' they yearn for are no longer tolerated by this world," Goat Head answered Duncan's question as usual, "Even if it is the Lost Country , also bathed in the sunshine of this era, even the evil spirits wandering in the deep sea would not like the 'sun' before the deep sea era-probably only those cultists would think that the resurrection of the real sun is a good thing... ..."

Speaking of the goat's head, he paused, and said with a touch of emotion: "But then again, ninety-nine percent of those cultists are actually just a bunch of brainwashed idiots. Knowing what they are following and worshiping, they regard the so-called "Children of the Sun" as prophets and saviors, and yearn for the ancient world described by those descendants as the kingdom of heaven, but in my opinion, the "Children of the Sun" do not regard Those fanatical believers are treated as people...they are no different from the children of the deep sea."

Son of the Sun? What does it mean? And it sounds like there are some children of the deep sea? What the hell is this? !

Duncan's heart moved, and a brand-new unfamiliar term popped up on his face, bringing new confusion. He played with the sun emblem in his hand calmly, as if asking casually: "Children of the sun? I haven't met them. "

"It's normal. The Sons of the Sun don't dare to show up in the civilized world casually. Even if they pretend to be humans, the hyenas of the Holy See can smell the smell of heresy in their shadows in minutes-after all, After all, they are also a kind of "children", as the residue of ancient things, they should honestly stay in the gutter of history... Well, among all kinds of "children", they are the only ones who can do things like this."

Duncan suddenly discovered that the goat's head's habit of nagging from time to time is actually very beneficial-although 9,000 of its 10,000 sentences a day are nonsense, but as long as luck catches up, it can also come out useful informative!

Due to the fact that he has not fully grasped the details of the goat's head, Duncan's "inquiry" can only be indirect, and he dare not ask too blatantly. The clue that Tokushibō failed to grasp——

Sons, this seems to be quite important information. In this world, there are some...creatures called "children", and they are all tolerated by the civilized world without exception, and the goat head calls them "ancient things" the residue of ";

Although there are a large number of believers who worship the "true sun god", it seems that most of them are just insignificant pawns, ignorant, blind and brainwashed "fanatics". In their "church" structure, they still have status. Higher than them, the real ruling class... is the guy called the "Son of the Sun";

Those sons of the sun don't often show up in the civilized world. They seem to have other hidden places that are unknown to the world, and they influence the world's sun god sect through remote control, secretly collecting sacrifices and energy;

Finally, it is also the point that should be the most concerned about the current Duncan:

Goat's head is full of contempt for those cultists and the "children of the sun" standing behind the cultists.

This shows that the Lost Country, or "the real Captain Duncan", is not in the same camp as these guys called "children"... it should even be counted as a hostile camp.

It seemed that it was the right decision to tell Goat Head about his dealings with the "Sun Cultists" during this spirit world walk—otherwise, he didn't know when he would know these useful information.

This kind of overly secret knowledge would not be written in Nina's textbook.

Duncan left the captain's cabin, holding the sun talisman, and walked thoughtfully on the deck of the Lost Home.

There are many kinds of heirs, and according to the information revealed by the goat head—the heirs are all remnants of ancient things, plus the fact that the sun believers follow the "ancient real sun" before the Great Annihilation, he has reasonable reasons to doubt, These so-called offspring are most likely the product of the Great Annihilation, and their birth may be traced back to the "Era of Order" before the Great Annihilation.

There are "children of the sun" on the sea level, and "children of the deep sea" in the deep sea.

Duncan walked to the side of the ship without knowing it. He glanced at the deep blue sea outside, feeling a little curious in his heart.

In the sea...there are not only fish?
