Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 238: Tracking of the Brilliant Star

In three hours, the sun will rise over the distant sea, and the relative safety and stability of day will replace the unsettling darkness of night - if the sun does rise normally.

Duncan glanced at the mechanical clock hanging not far away. The hands on it were beating slowly.

"Are you going to wait for the sunrise?" The goat-headed voice suddenly came, "There are still three hours.

"...Waiting for three hours is not as interesting as sitting here looking at a basically pale sea map. Duncan shook his head, stood up and stretched his shoulders before slowly walking towards the bedroom, "I'll go back and rest for a while. If I haven't come out before sunrise, you can just call me.

"We are happy to help."

Duncan nodded, pushed the door back to the bedroom, threw the piece of paper with the mysterious number pattern on the table, and walked to the bed not far away.

His body basically doesn't need much rest, but every once in a while, he will still take a nap before dawn, not to relieve any fatigue, but simply to "get up and welcome the sunrise."

This would allow him to maintain a sense of "aliveness" on the Lost Home, and prevent him from gradually losing his humanity on this spiritual ship. Although he didn't know if there were hidden dangers in this regard, but when he felt After the state of the Lost Home was not as stable as he imagined, he had been consciously maintaining this habit of "maintaining a human lifestyle on the ship."

Duncan just lay down like this, closed his eyes, and heard the whispers of the wind and waves coming from all around him. He felt the slight sway of the small photo under his body, and controlled himself to relax little by little.

…

And as the distance gets closer. Lucretia and Rune were finally able to observe more details of this behemoth.

In the captain's quarters of the Brilliant Star, which was decorated with a feminine atmosphere, Lucrecia, wearing a silk nightgown, suddenly sat up from the bed.

And as the speed of the Brilliant Star increased, the huge golden luminous body floating between the mist and the sea finally appeared in Lucrecia's eyes becoming more and more turbid.

Lucretia saw this ray of light and didn't react at first. But after only two or three seconds, your eyes suddenly froze, and then you suddenly raised your eyes to look at the mechanical clock next to you.

Luni responded slowly; "The reserves are sufficient and your order has been conveyed.

The doll was made of pink and blue fabrics, with scars running across its face, and a bright red color like blood smeared under its jagged mouth. The moment Lucretia stood up, the rabbit doll She moved slightly, then turned her head slightly, staring at her mistress with her button-nailed eyes. A big boy's voice filled Mu Hua's body: "Mistress, I thought you fell asleep successfully. Got it

However, in the last second, the expected tragic impact and death did not happen - the bird flew away directly, and flew back into the slightly vertical cliff.

At that moment, a ray of final golden light suddenly spilled in from the gap in the beautiful curtains, and came into view of the "sea witch".

Lucrecia stared in this direction, then took a deep breath, and her body suddenly turned into a pile of flying colored papers. The colored papers swept out of the window, flew across the deck, passed through the stairs, and flew to the In the cab on the lower middle level.

After a while, out of the corner of Lucrecia's eye, you saw the bird fly out from another direction, and it looked completely intact.

That's not when the sun rises!

"It seems to be translucent?" the doll Luni looked curiously behind the open viewing window. "It looks... like a piece of glowing stained glass?"

Even the clockwork demon Runi gradually opened her eyes. He couldn't help but make a startling comment: "Oh my God... Mistress, what is this?"

What is presented at the same time is its actual scale that is getting bigger and bigger.

"It's daybreak now," Lucretia said slowly, walking slowly towards the window, "Where are you now?"

The toy sailors were confused for a moment, and then resumed their familiar routine while packing up their things and reorganizing their formation.

The rabbit doll who finished making the bed noticed the movement of the male master and ran over jumping: "Mistress, it seems like it's getting dark inside!"

In the cab, Runi, a clockwork demon dressed in a maid costume, is steering the wheel. You notice the mistress approaching for the first time. When the colored paper flies into the circle, Ermei lets go of the steering wheel. A second ago, Lucretia Ya's figure had not yet emerged from the colored paper, and she reached out to take the rudder.

Lucretia sat behind the dressing table energetically, letting the dolls toss around. You yourself were fighting against the exhaustion and pressure caused by a night of insomnia and random thoughts, and at the same time, you were thinking about what you had lost. It didn't matter what her country name was. After a while, she took a deep breath and forced her thinking to regain its clarity.

Lucretia nodded, and then, the Brilliant Star fully woke up under the captain's order.

A large group of toy soldiers ran out of the drawer. First, they quickly called the team and then ran to the side to pick up combs, hand mirrors, water glasses, and toothbrushes. They lined up and ran to Lucretia beautifully and nimbly. He would sit down or under the back of the seat in front of him and finish the morning bath for the hostess.

Lucretia took the wine glass and drank it down, but still stood up, "No need, continuing to lie down will only make you more irritated... clean up."

"...No, it seems that it is just transparent and beautiful..." Lucrecia shook her head, her eyes blinking and staring back, as if she could see something wrong from the edge of this huge luminous geometry. And at this moment, a big white dot suddenly flew out of the fog in the distance and retreated into your field of vision.

Under Lucretia's personal control, the entire ship actually showed a coexistence of magic and machinery, a mixture of ugly elegance and terrifying beauty!

A large number of clockwork sailors, puppets, and ceramic soldiers rushed to work for various purposes. The specially-made paddle wheel structures on both sides of the ship also stopped accelerating. This engine device that seemed to be behind the times gradually released more power than modern propeller engines. The power of the whole ship quickly increased the speed of the entire ship, and in the front half of the ship's hull, the ghostly "original hull" became more illusory and blurry, and there were no paint-white hair-like stripes gradually from the stern to the stern. The seven-week sea area spread, and from a distance, it seemed as if a white tail wave extended in front of the Brilliant Star.

A huge and simple golden geometry floats quietly under the sea, its entire body exuding a stern and soul-stirring pale golden shimmer. Its height is almost eight times higher than the lowest flagpole of the Brilliant Star, with two The side extends out like a city wall, and its lower part is slightly vertical inward, like a terrifying cliff. There are no trivial protrusions on the inside and outside, and every part looks natural.

"Still retreating according to the planned route last night," the rabbit doll said beautifully, "it's not even close to the direction where the 'little guy' that was observed before fell!"

Lucretia did not speak, but just stared back, staring at the huge golden shadow that gradually emerged from the mist and was not yet like a large mountain peak.

"Yes, Mistress."

A layer of thin and hazy fog floats on the sea surface outside the window, which is the most common scenery in border areas. And deep in this layer of thin and hazy fog, there is a very small, vaguely diffused pale golden shimmer. It is floating quietly under the sea, and it is temporarily impossible to judge that it is not far away from the Brilliant Star.

This is a seabird. Even on the vast sea, even on the border full of strange phenomena, there is still no such thing.

The moment the rabbit doll finished speaking, Lucretia opened the thick curtains and then pushed open the window that was not reinforced by a fine metal grid.

She suddenly stood up.

Not to mention, it is precisely because humans have simple wisdom that those "wild animals live better in the weird border waters than these weak and weak explorers."

Her hair was a little messy, and she looked a little tired and irritable. When she stood up, she was holding a huge rabbit doll that was half a person's height and had a funny shape and a hint of weirdness.

"Mistress, I was just about to send someone to call you," Luni came to the side and said, "This golden light suddenly appeared from the fog.

, judging from the direction, it shouldn’t be the ‘falling object’ you are tracking.

"Two hours before sunrise," the rabbit doll said as it jumped from the hostess's arms to the ground. It jumped to the cabinet next to it, opened the cabinet door with its soft-looking plush palm, and took out the After drinking the captain’s treasured wine, he poured a large glass and gave it to Lucretia, “If you can’t sleep for a while, this will help you calm down.

At the same time, Lucrezia snapped her fingers, and the lights in the room turned on. She exhaled slowly, shuffled to the dressing table, and tapped her nails on the mirror. This drawer opened in response.

A huge, glowing thing floating on the sea.

It's still an hour before sunrise

"Raise to full speed, all crew on standby, and the stern part of the ship is prepared to enter and exit the spirit world at any time." Lucrecia said slowly, "Are there sufficient reserves of ectoplasm dust and witch oil?"

Lucretia glanced at the clock next to her, and her tone was premeditated: "I only slept for a few dozen minutes before I was awakened by a strange dream... What time is it now?"

The rabbit doll with the voice of a little boy answered crisply, then took the wine glass handed over by the hostess and put it away, and then jumped on the floor to make the bed, looking very familiar with it.

It is so small that it is almost possible to judge its chakra from a single perspective, and it is so majestic and complete that it seems almost like something that humans can build.

A toy sailor carved from wood jumped in from the outside. The sailor was wearing a classic naval uniform and holding a large sword in his hand. He first bowed to Lucretia and then stood on the top of the drawer and waved. Holding the command knife, he issued sharp commands.

Lucretia's eyes were attracted to this seabird. She noticed that this poor guy seemed to be confused by the golden light on the sea. In panic, he rushed straight towards this shimmering "mountain." "

Lu Ni also saw this scene, and the clockwork puppet muttered in surprise: "·Is this a phantom?
