This is a hidden sea area that has never appeared on any official nautical charts, and is also far away from any legal waterway. The lights of the civilized world can no longer illuminate this sea covered with thin mist. Any ocean captain who maintains his sense can
No one will take the initiative to set foot here. The majestic curtain of mist that surrounds the entire world is already standing in front of it, and even if the sun still illuminates the sea, those sailing here will not feel the slightest comfort from the sunshine.
People gave this chilling place a name - the border.
An almost broken ship, which according to common sense should have sunk to the bottom of the sea, is slowly moving through the mist, heading towards the cliff-like "Wall of Mist" in the distance like a silent ghost.
Green flames were like silent phantoms, rising and burning all over the broken ship. The translucent spiritual flames forcibly "maintained" the ship that should have been torn apart, and half of its hull tore open a terrifying
The huge and complex mechanical structure inside the human mouth is exposed like the internal organs of some giant beast, and is soaked in the ghostly green flames, and the ghostly ghost fire spreads outward from the hull, flows, and fills the surrounding area.
On the sea surface, where the flames flowed, the thin mist all around slowly subsided.
A blaze of flames rose, and Duncan's figure emerged on the deck - a translucent spirit form.
He came here with the help of the "artificial beacon" left on the ship, but this time he did not transfer all of his "body" here like last time, but just threw a phantom here - he
Most of the focus is still on the Lost Home.
The ships from all parties have not yet converged, so he wants to come over here first to see the situation.
The majestic thick fog finally stood before his eyes.
Duncan walked across the deck, stepped over the cracks torn by the big explosion and the wrinkled and curled metal debris, stepped to the bow of the ship, and quietly looked at the magnificent "scenery" in the distance.
It was a "wall" that stretched across the sky and the earth. The thick and boundless fog almost condensed into a solid substance, connecting the sky and the sea. It stood in his field of vision like the end of the world, and there were constantly magnificent "waterfall-like" waterfalls.
"Cloud flow" collapsed from the top of the curtain, flowed, and fell silently on the sea, turning into a mist that continued to spread and spread over the entire border sea area.
In front of this magnificent barrier, whether it is the large ship built by the cultists, the Lost Home, or even those church arks, they will all appear as small as dust.
"This is the end of the world..." Duncan stood quietly on the bow of the ship and muttered softly as if talking to himself, "I finally saw it with my own eyes."
He recalled the "border collapse" he experienced shortly after coming to this world, and recalled the collapsing fog he suddenly saw on the normal sea - at the time, he thought that scene was extremely magnificent.
, whose awe-inspiring coercion is still clearly imprinted in his heart to this day.
But after actually being here and seeing the boundless curtain of this "border" with his own eyes, he realized how worthless the "collapse" that happened inside the "sanctuary" was compared to the real "border"
Mention.
...But will this boundless and magnificent real "border" in front of us ever "collapse"?
Duncan had this idea in his mind that would frighten everyone if he told it. He quietly looked at the distant scenery for a while, and then waved his hand gently in the air.
The flames circled at his fingertips and outlined an oval outline in the air. Inside the outline, a mirror-like scene appeared. The next second, Agatha's figure appeared in this mirror.
:"I am here."
"What changes have occurred in the spiritual world here?" Duncan asked casually.
"Wait a minute, I'll go down and take a look." Agatha in the mirror nodded, and then her figure disappeared into the air.
Duncan waited patiently for a while, and Agatha's figure appeared in the summoned mirror again - only her hair looked a little messy.
"The spiritual world is darker and more chaotic, and there are amorphous shadows passing across the sea - compared with the 'inside the civilized world', those shadows are even more unfriendly," Agatha reported while arranging her hair, and then she paused.
He added, "...very unfriendly, just violent."
"Being beaten?" Duncan frowned, a little worried.
"Punched up everyone who came near," Agatha moved her arms and smiled a little happily - as she let go of the memory burden of "Gatekeeper", after staying on the Homeless Ship for a long time, she
He seems to have adapted well to the gang...the atmosphere in the team, "It's not difficult to deal with, it's just more bizarre. In addition..."
"in addition?"
"There is also a 'curtain' in the spiritual world." Agatha raised her hand and pointed at the curtain barrier in the distance that connected to the sky. "Just like the reflection of this curtain, it stood darkly in front, and it looked like...
It's even more dangerous and weird. There are many amorphous outlines undulating and reorganizing in that black curtain, which gives me a bad feeling."
Listening to Agatha's description, Duncan frowned slightly.
"In other words, it is not feasible to 'dive' directly through the eternal curtain from the depth of the spiritual world," he mused, "This 'border' seems to surround the entire world from all dimensions, and it does not
Are there any safe 'shortcuts'..."
"It's to be expected," Agatha nodded, "After all, if our world is a 'sanctuary,' then the 'walls' of this sanctuary must be tight enough to allow us to
There is a safe place to live in the chaos that followed worlds colliding.”
Speaking of this, she thought for a moment and then continued: "In the model recently perfected by Mr. Morris, the 'curtain' structure of the border should not only seal off the real world and the spiritual world at the same time, but may even extend to the deep sea, and not only
From a space perspective... From a time perspective, there should also be a structure similar to the 'Eternal Curtain' to ensure the completeness of the entire 'sanctuary'..."
"The 'border' in the time dimension... In Vision 004, the tombkeeper also mentioned it to me," Duncan said, shaking his head, "Maurice should also have received inspiration from this."
"Yes, he has been trying to construct a 'world model' that can explain the entire Infinite Sea and even the entire Deep Sea Age. The truth we recently found in the depths of the Dream of the Nameless One and the truth you just learned from the 'Tomb of the Unknown King'
The information he brought out has allowed him to make great progress recently," Agatha nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in her tone, "He has begun to try to explain the world we live in in terms of time and space.
In the world...he is the only scholar I know who has reached this point."
"Strictly speaking, he is the only scholar who has made it this far and is still alive," Duncan said with emotion in his tone. "Recently, his research has increasingly produced some... extra noise on the ship. Nina is reading.
It’s time too.”
"Scholars always have to fight with the knowledge they are studying," Agatha said, taking it for granted. "Miss Nina's situation has gotten much better. She has recently learned to calmly face things that come out of books.
...This is probably related to the last time she accidentally burned the design she drew for three days and nights."
After hearing Agatha's words, Duncan's mouth twitched subconsciously.
Even though he has lived in this world for such a long time, he still inevitably has the urge to complain every time he hears such evil things.
But in any case, Nina and Maurice's situation when fighting with knowledge was better than the two dolls currently playing a joint game on the ship.
In the captain's cabin of the Lost Home, Duncan, who was exchanging border information with Lucretia, blinked and raised his head helplessly.
A figure wearing a black and white maid skirt staggered into the captain's room, the large clockwork key behind her was clicking and spinning. When she saw Duncan in the room, a smile slowly appeared on her face: "Ship... Captain
...what...for dinner...what...for dinner?"
Duncan held it in for two seconds and finally stopped: "Alice, why is your head on Luni's body?"
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Alice's face: "Ah, how did you...find out?"
"I'm not blind! And I'm not stupid!" Duncan slapped his forehead. Then he heard the "dong dong dong" sound of hitting the wall from the captain's room. He stood up from behind the chart table helplessly.
, stepped to the door, and saw Alice's body with Lu Ni's head hitting the wall outside the door. While bumping Lu Ni's head, she was giving instructions: "Bump into it, bump into it... turn to the left.
...Hey, the left side is reversed! Your side is the right side! It bumped into me again... and then to the left... Old master?"
Duncan looked at Luni (head) who was suddenly stunned due to surprise with an expressionless face. Then, Lucretia walked out behind him with the same expressionless face.
The two of them just looked at the combination of Luni + Alice with straight faces, watching Alice's body continue to move forward, and suddenly hit the door frame.
"Don't leave!" Luni (head) reminded quickly, "The old master and mistress are out!"
As soon as she finished the reminder, she subconsciously controlled her body in the captain's room and walked out. As a result, there was a loud "gudong" sound in the room.
Duncan lowered his head and saw a head with long silver hair rolling to his feet. Alice blinked innocently: "Captain...help...help...help..."
At the same time, the combination of Luni and Alice next to them also stepped on the air, and fell down near the hem of Lucretia's skirt with a plop. Luni's head fell to the ground with a thud, rolling while
He asked for help in a panic: "Mistress! I fell too!!"
The chaos on the scene at this moment was beyond words. It took Duncan a long time to figure out the status of the two dolls in his mind. Finally he couldn't help but said in unison with Lucretia: "Change them back!"
