Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 221 "Group"

Those who encounter the Lost Homeland will inevitably establish a "connection" with Duncan, and from another perspective, Duncan, an "outsider", really needs to establish such a connection extensively in this world-only by mastering the With as many knowledge channels and assistance as possible, he can further understand the world, understand the extraordinary domain, and even...understand himself.

The reason why Morris and others were brought on board may be that the situation was urgent at the time, but even if they did not board the ship today, Duncan himself had a plan to expand his "influence" in this world. A few people on the Lost Homeland actually happened to be good candidates.

Morris, an outstanding historian, polymath, and believer in the God of Wisdom, he possesses valuable knowledge, which is what Duncan is most in short supply at present. At the same time, this old gentleman is still a The "upper class" with certain contacts and status can also come in handy at the right time.

Shirley and Agou, the controlled deep demon and the summoner who co-exist with the demon, have combat power, and also have knowledge about the deep field, and even part of the knowledge related to the subspace, and this part of knowledge is just in line with Morris, the "human being". "Scholar" complement each other. In addition, this pair also has a special perception method, which can detect the traces left by extraordinary power at no cost or with a very small cost.

Nina, well-behaved and lovely niece.

By the way, it is the current carrier of sun fragments.

Duncan's eyes slowly swept across the long table. Around the long table, some faces were nervous, some were reserved, and some were purely curious.

They didn't seem to realize that a very special "group" had faintly formed during this dinner, and what held this group together was their common identity at the moment:

The crew of the Lost Home.

"My previous promise is still valid. The crew status of the Lost Homelander will not restrict your personal freedom. I don't need mandatory allegiance, nor do I need any sacrifices, offerings, etc. - none of this is for me. Meaning," Duncan said slowly, his voice low, while the soft sound of waves was sounding from the porthole not far away, "but given the connection between you and me that has been established, this connection may be regarded as A...loose team base.

"Frankly speaking, I have been away from the civilized world for many years-Maurice should be very clear that the Lost Country has never been in contact with any city-state in the past century. In the civilized world, there is a lot about me, about this ship. Horror stories, which I admit have a basis in fact, because for many years...the ship was out of control.

"But as you can see, I've regained my humanity and re-stabilized the Homeless, and now... I'm interested in the civilized world a century from now."

Duncan said unhurriedly, and these were the words he had thought about while fishing just now—he needed to "recruit the crew", but the terrible background of the Lost Country meant that the newcomers on board would not have any He has a very good entry mentality, so he needs a set of reasonable, gentle, and legitimate reasons to appease the newcomers' emotions, so the first step is to establish a "reasonable and friendly" image of the captain.

The Lost Home was once out of control, but now the captain has regained his humanity and regained control of the ship, which was the premise on which the team was formed.

As for whether the newcomers believe it or not... that is the question on the front.

I have to say that fishing is indeed a recreational activity suitable for self-cultivation and thinking—Duncan feels that he should really be grateful for the gift of nature...it is also okay to thank the children of the deep sea.

Hearing what Duncan said, Morris immediately showed a thoughtful expression. In fact, he still couldn't believe that what he heard was a real voice. In fact, he couldn't even believe the distorted sound he saw. The Township was what the ship really was, but he recalled the friendly attitude Duncan had shown all the time, and finally began to slowly...convince himself.

At least, if this statement is true, the Warp Shadow's friendliness will become a little more plausible.

Shirley was thinking, and it seemed that she hadn't fully understood the situation. Agou, who was sitting next to her, had reacted at this time, and the deep hound boldly glanced at Duncan: "That is to say, you need us to... Your dependents, help you do something in this world?"

"It's just possible," Duncan said with a smile, "when I need it. Besides, I don't think this kind of relationship is a 'family'-you are the crew, so you can call me the captain, or you can still call me the captain as before. The title is also fine."

Shirley and Agou said "Oh", and Morris, who was not far away, suddenly said after a short thought: "Then how will you contact us? Ah, of course, I know you have an avatar in the city-state of Purdue, but I mean……"

"I understand what you mean," Duncan nodded lightly without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, "If I want to find you, I will find you immediately, and if you need to contact me when you encounter something, you can directly contact me on the smooth mirror surface. I can hear my name or the name of the Lost Homeland being called nearby. Besides, the flame can enhance my strength, and if you are in danger, you can light the flame after calling my name."

Morris listened, the expression on his face seemed a bit complicated. After all, he was still a believer in the God of Wisdom, but at this moment he half-voluntarily joined such a "heresy group", and was even learning knowledge from a certain subspace shadow. It made him a little awkward, but what made him even more awkward was that... the protective bracelet with four remaining stones on his wrist did not respond at the moment.

The Lord doesn’t see it, the Lord doesn’t care, the Lord thinks that you are doing the right thing—no matter which answer you give, the old man’s emotions are quite complicated.

Nina opened her eyes slightly after listening to Duncan's words, and her face was a little excited: "It sounds amazing!"

Duncan glanced at her lightly when he heard the words: "You don't need any extra flames..."

Nina didn't react immediately: "Ah? Why?"

Then before Duncan could answer, she came back to her senses and quickly waved her hand: "Oh, I understand, I understand, I can..."

"Don't change here!" Duncan saw that the air around Nina had faint signs of distortion, and hurriedly interrupted, "Until you can master the power brought by the sun fragments, you are not allowed to enter the closed space." Try to switch your form in crowded places!"

Nina immediately lowered her head: "Oh..."

Duncan watched the air around the girl gradually recover, and felt the heat subside, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

With the help of his "fire usurper", the sun fragments in Nina's body have been controlled, but obviously, the girl herself has not fully realized how powerful a power is dormant in her body—no matter how She is mature and sensible, after all, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old. For young people of this age, it is not so easy to suppress the novel impulse brought by the first contact with extraordinary power.

If there is a chance, let her be more familiar with her power in this open and boundless sea. On the one hand, it will enhance the controllability of the sun fragments, and on the other hand, it will make her realize how dangerous the flames originating from the stars are.

"We may add new members in the future," Duncan thought for a while, and then said, "Then let's regard today's gathering as a standard procedure for newcomers to join, I think it will also help to enhance the relationship between team members. "

Morrison subconsciously glanced at the dinner plate in front of him, feeling as if he saw the truth in some warm atmosphere——

To dine under the watchful eye of the shadows of the Warp, to eat the flesh and blood of the sons of the deep sea, to learn the rituals and incantations to summon supernatural powers, this...

This set is really full of a strong sense of déjà vu.

But what else can I say?I am already a member of this ship, I have accepted Mr. Duncan's asylum, and the flesh and blood of the sons of the deep sea have been placed in front of me as a key part of this "ceremony", so it is absolutely impossible to quit at this time, so I can only Like the pigeon next to me who has been eating French fries since just now, accept Zhenxiang's fate calmly...

With a sigh in his heart, the old man fully accepted this sharp turn of fate, and at the same time comforted himself silently—from today onwards, like those legendary scholars who are enough to leave history, he embarked on a journey to the abyss of truth The point of no return, I am afraid that there is nothing in this world that can make me feel weird and evil again.

As he was thinking this way, he suddenly heard Miss Alice, who had been silent not far away, break the silence—this beautiful lady had been quietly standing behind Duncan all this time, and only then did he seem to realize something: " Ah, Captain, does that mean I won't be the only crew member here from now on?"

"You just realized it?" Duncan turned his head slightly and glanced at the doll, "Of course you are no longer the only crew member here, and before they leave, you have to teach them the crew rules, like Goat's head taught you the same back then."

Alice was stunned for a moment, but she understood the current situation. Then she smiled belatedly, and clapped her hands happily: "Okay! Then I will..."

In the next second, I don't know if it was because of being too excited, a familiar voice came from Duncan's ear: "Bo'er——"

A head, still wearing a blond wig, dropped right next to him and rolled into the middle of the table in full view.

There was a moment of silence at the dining table, until Shirley's exclamation broke the silence: "Ahhhhhhhh—the head fell off, the head fell off! It fell off!"

The scene was suddenly chaotic, Shirley and Nina's exclamations, Agou's cursing, and Alice's stammering calls for help came one after another, with Ai's loud cooing in between. Morris looked at the scene blankly. With all of this, I suddenly feel that it will take longer for me to fully adapt to this "new team"...
