To be honest, Duncan suddenly found that when the pigeon on his shoulder spoke, even if he had a nerve thicker than the pillar, it would be difficult for him to walk calmly.
At this moment, he desperately wished that he could carry a parrot on his shoulders like a normal pirate captain - what if he could carry a monkey on his shoulders?
But he had already pushed open the door to the chart room, and it was impossible to turn back at this time.
In the room where the navigation table is displayed, the goat head was happily talking about the twelfth legend about the sea fish stew. The sound of the captain's dormitory door opening finally interrupted this noisy guy, and his black wooden head immediately turned to Duncan's.
direction, his tone rose and he looked very happy: "Ah, Captain! You are finally out - I want to tell you that Miss Alice is really an excellent conversation partner. I have not chatted with someone so happily for many years. You
Know……"
Duncan ignored the goat-head's loud thrusts, and immediately looked at the victim opposite the navigation table, and then saw the headless doll sitting upright on a chair, holding himself in his hands.
head, and at the same time pressed his ears firmly.
Even so, Alice's eyes were still as distracted as if she had attended twelve advanced math classes, and she didn't even react when Duncan walked up to her.
Duncan: "..."
"She pulled out the head herself," Goat Head explained before Duncan could speak, "although I don't know why she did it..."
How powerful is the goat-headed babbling, that it can actually force a cursed doll to pluck out its own head to fight the sound waves?!
While Duncan was shocked, the goat-headed man finally noticed the strange guy brought out by the captain. His wooden head turned slightly, and his dark eyes suddenly stared at the pigeon on Duncan's shoulder.
: "Huh? Captain, this is on your shoulder..."
"Its name is Ai, and he is my pet from now on." Duncan said concisely and concisely, using as few sentences as possible to avoid possible loopholes, and at the same time observing the goat head's reaction after hearing this.
"Your pet?" The goat head was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to be thinking about something on his own, "Ah, just now the Lost Home did sense that you had temporarily left the ship... you were going to walk in the spirit world.
Is this? This is the trophy you brought back while walking in the spirit world."
Walking in the spirit world?
A word he had never heard before suddenly appeared, and Duncan thought of the brass compass placed in the captain's dormitory, the handwriting left by the real Captain Duncan, and the wonderful experience of the soul traveling and projecting into the distance.
He vaguely corresponded to it in his heart, and felt that he was almost right before he nodded calmly: "Just to relax a little."
When Duncan finished speaking, the goat head suddenly started to compliment as expected: "Ah! He is indeed the great Captain Duncan. Even a simple walk in the spirit world can bring back loot - is this a pigeon?
There must be something extraordinary about being your pet? You even hung your compass on it? Is this... Ah, of course, your judgment is always correct, but what is so special about this pigeon?
Could it be that..."
Duncan heard something euphemistic in the goat's head's compliment, and with a move in his mind, he realized that the goat's head obviously knew the brass compass that was now hanging on Ay's chest, and this compass was obviously very important to the real Captain Duncan.
Important—so important that it shouldn’t be placed on a new “pet” casually.
But even if he noticed something was wrong, he had nothing to do, because the compass was now "tied" to the pigeon, and even...according to the control feedback of the spiritual fire, the pigeon seemed to be the compass at this moment.
It’s like its own body!
Duncan thought quickly in his mind, but he still maintained an unwavering expression on his face, and just for a moment, Ai, who was squatting on his shoulder, suddenly made a loud cooing sound.
Then he flapped his wings and flew to the goat's head.
The dark eyes of the goat head were instantly fixed on the pigeon, and the latter tilted his head in a serious manner, and pecked the goat head's face with his beak: "Do you want to pay for Q coins?"
Duncan: "..."
"What an anomaly with intelligence?!" The goat head was obviously stunned, but then he reacted with a very surprised tone, "This pigeon can actually talk?!"
Duncan immediately reminded him tactfully: "You can also talk."
Pigeon Ai also took a few steps on the table, and as he walked away, he muttered to himself: "Is it true? Is it true? Is it true..."
Upon seeing this, Duncan immediately rubbed his fingertips, and with the sudden jump of green flames, the dove pacing on the table disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye, and returned to his shoulder in the next moment.
"Yes, it has an abnormality of intelligence and is directly controlled by me," Duncan nodded to the goat head, "Are there any other questions?"
The goat head quickly replied: "Ah... of course not, of course not, then there is no problem at all - everything is under the control of the great Captain Duncan."
Duncan stopped talking to the goat head, and after quickly ending the topic, he focused on Alice who was still holding her head in a daze - perhaps the previous experience of being open-minded further enhanced the strength of his nerves, and also
Maybe he got used to it after watching it a few times. When he saw Alice holding her head in a daze, he didn't think it was too evil. Instead, he thought this guy was a bit...cute.
He reached out and patted Miss Doll on the shoulder: "Wake up, wake up."
Alice's body suddenly became excited, as if she had woken up from a long nightmare, and then the head held in her hands opened and closed her mouth and made a sound: "Ship...Ship...Ship..."
Duncan: "Put the head on first."
Only then did Alice react, and hurriedly put her head back in place. After the joints closed with a click, her voice finally returned to smoothness: "Ah, Captain, are you back? It seems to have happened just now... Mr. Goat Head has finished speaking?"
The goat head on the table immediately spoke: "No, we just talked about some legends about sea fish stew. This topic can be discussed next time..."
Duncan said succinctly: "Shut up."
"oh."
Alice on the side trembled very obviously the moment the goat's head opened its mouth. The face of a cursed doll actually showed a horrified expression, even though the goat's head was honestly closed under the captain's order in the next second.
Mouth, she still glanced in the direction of the navigation table with lingering fear.
Duncan suspected that this doll lady would not step into the captain's cabin for a long time in the future.
Thinking of this, he finally asked curiously: "Why did you come to see me?"
"I..." Alice's expression was a little dull, as if her original goal of visiting the captain's cabin had been forgotten due to a conversation with the goat head, but she still reacted after a few seconds, "Ah, yes, I
I just want to ask, is there a place where I can take a shower on the ship? My wooden box was soaked in sea water before, and now I feel a little...uncomfortable in my joints."
At the end of the sentence, the expression on Miss Doll's face was obviously a little embarrassed, but in fact, it was Duncan who was more embarrassed than her - after all, her box was thrown overboard by Duncan before.
And I threw it away several times.
Embarrassment flashed through his heart, and Duncan tried hard to keep the expression on his face unchanged and said in a calm tone: "Just for this?"
Alice sat on the chair cautiously: "Just...just for this."
"For many ocean-going ships, fresh water is an extremely precious resource. Bathing is a luxury and requires restraint," Duncan said seriously at first, but then suddenly showed a smile, "But you are lucky,
The Lost Home is not an ordinary ship, and fresh water is not a problem here. Come with me, there is a bathing place in the cabin below the middle deck. To get there, you must first pass through the upper deck."
Alice stood up immediately - she really didn't want to stay where the goat's head was for a second.
Duncan looked back at the goat head before leaving the room: "You continue to steer."
After explaining, he stood up, opened the door of the captain's cabin, and took Alice to the deck.
Night has fallen at this moment.
The night sky is clear over the boundless sea.
This was the first time that Duncan stood under a clear night sky in this world after many days of clouds.
He suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky, and stared motionless at the night.
The night sky is dark and starless, and there are no celestial bodies.
The only thing that can be seen is a faint gray-white "crack" that seems to tear through the entire sky. The crack stretches across the sky, with fine cracks extending from its edges like flesh and blood, and a dim, gray-white halo slowly emerges from the crack.
Slowly escaping outward, like traces of blood spreading in a deep pool of water.
This "pale scar" across the sky illuminated the entire boundless sea, more than twice as bright as the moonlight in Duncan's memory.
