A...weak but wonderful force is resisting the orders it gives to this body.
Even trying to expel himself from the body.
This power seemed to have existed from the beginning. It was only when I had the idea of going to Frost that this resistance became more and more obvious.
Duncan stopped in surprise. Although the resistance was always there, he slowly moved to the edge of the wreckage and looked down at the calm sea.
He spoke softly: "I thought you had disappeared - usually, after the heart stops beating, the soul will leave quickly."
Then he calmed down and felt the weak but stubborn power. After a moment of silence, the body's lips wriggled twice: "Leave..."
Duncan closed his eyes slightly.
On the oil-stained sea, the reflection of the body was suddenly shrouded in a layer of green flames. The face in the reflection that had been altered beyond recognition by the fire and explosion shook for a moment in the flames and turned into Duncan.
Abu Nomar's majestic and downcast face.
"Hello," Duncan, who was reflected in the water, stared at the body standing on the edge of the wreckage of the Petrel and greeted calmly, "I think this way we can talk a little easier."
The unrecognizable body stood upright. Belazov's remaining consciousness stared at the face reflected in the sea water, staring at the green firelight, his lips wriggled twice, and once again uttered a monotonous and persistent voice. Voice: "...Leave."
With these words, the "Sea Witch" turned into a sheet of flying colorful shredded paper, rolled across the deck like a whirlwind, swirled and flew into a nearby open window, and returned to the captain's cabin.
A geometric structure like a mountain, exuding endless golden light, is floating quietly near this elven city-state. Although its maximum boundary is still more than ten nautical miles away from the city, the wonderful light it emits is still enough. Affected half of the city-state.
At the edge of this huge geometry is a temporary research facility established by the city-state authorities - a huge floating raft port floating on the fierce sea. The power device on the edge of the floating raft facility spits steam and smoke into the sky. The structure The complex mechanical work tower is loading and unloading the cargo ships docked in the port, and small speedboats are constantly passing between the floating raft base and the luminous geometry, busy.
"Elves are indeed a race with outstanding mathematical and mechanical talents. It seems right to drag that thing to Breeze Port," Lucretia couldn't help but sigh softly, "This is the only place where we can organize such a large scale at any time. We have a research team and can provide supporting facilities of this level.”
Lucretia didn't react to the compliments of the puppet maid, she just thought about other things quietly, but suddenly, she seemed to sense something, and her expression changed slightly.
Duncan sat up, straightened the burnt cloth strips on his body, and then looked at his hands.
The clockwork doll Runi walked briskly to the upper deck of the Brilliant Star. Her mistress was standing on the deck, looking at the beautiful and sophisticated tower building in the center of the sea base.
On the table in the center of the captain's cabin, this set of lenses and crystal ball devices with a complex structure lit up slightly and made a slight vibration.
"Brother?" Lucretia frowned, not paying attention to the scene behind him at first, "Why are you looking for me all of a sudden?"
"exist."
Tirian smiled mysteriously: "Where do you think I am?"
The puppet Luni thought for a moment: "They can meet you at the sea base, just don't let him get on the ship."
"Powerful, but respectable,"
As Duncan spoke, he stretched out his hand to the side, and Ai immediately flew to his side. The blazing green fire turned into a door and rose beside him, "He went to the frost, and then his main energy was also
It will be placed over there, and you will be at the helm of the Lost Home. By the way, tell Alice to prepare some bandages and a set of coats and wait for my orders at any time. "
"Too far and too close
Near the central sea area - I don't intend to let the Brilliant Star drag a huge alien object through the main shipping route, which will irritate those external city-states that have not experienced much wind and waves," Recolesia shook. Shaking his head, "Not to mention that the Four Gods Church is still speculating that this is a fragment that fell off Vision 001. Something of this level... is best left for research at the border of civilization."
The spiritual flame spread suddenly, and Duncan's body merged with the flame, and turned into the fire rising next to Ai in the next second. Then a meteor-like flame rose from the sea and flew straight towards the sky in the night sky. In the direction of frost.
Belazov still stood here silently, as if he was not dead yet - but there was still a little residual light in his half-opened eyes.
"The sense of humor has improved."
"Moko can actually do it," Luni said. "After all, this is the headquarters of the Academy of Truth. The number of scholars and research conditions are even better than there."
That powerful force of resistance disappeared.
All these busy and efficient processes are calculated and coordinated by the giant steam-powered differential engine in the center of the floating raft base.
"...He was the first to resist - at least, the first to resist with enough force that I could notice it," Duncan said calmly, "But you should be aware that such resistance It makes no sense, you are just consuming your soul quickly, and this only delays me for a few seconds at most."
This is the ship of "Sea Witch" Lucretia, the Brilliant Star.
Belazov's body was silent. This theoretically not completely dead body still stood upright here, disapproving of the order to return to the frost.
"I'm going to leave for a moment. Brother, I'm looking for you."
At almost the same time, the goat-headed voice also entered Duncan's mind: "Actually, you don't need to negotiate with him - he's just a weak mortal soul."
Those small speedboats will go deep into the luminous geometry to transport materials and personnel to the scientific research ship located near the "core stone ball", or exchange important information.
Such a normal scene is certainly not the natural scenery in this city-state - the cool glow shrouding the eastern blocks comes from the sea near Breeze Harbor.
At this moment, a "magic battleship" with a completely different style from the local ships was docked next to the floating raft base built by the elves.
A swirling and spreading fire suddenly appeared beside him, and a sound of flapping wings came from the vortex door formed by the flames. A huge skeleton bird rushed out of the vortex and circled on the sea.
Then he was silent for a few seconds, staring at the body standing quietly, and after thinking briefly, he spoke softly: "Reinforcements are coming."
At the same time, in the hot southern seas, the technological city-state "Breeze Port" ruled by elves.
Lu Ni thought for a moment and bent down slightly: "Your judgment must be carefully considered."
This scene of intertwined reality and dreams can even make people think of the ancient times recorded in the ancient elven classics, the scenery intertwined between forest dreams and fantasy stories.
Lucretia's figure was condensed from the colorful shredded paper. She stepped to the crystal device and raised her hand to activate the image in the crystal ball.
Belazov's body shook slightly. Maybe Duncan's words really had an effect, or maybe it was just that the remaining stubborn soul finally dissipated. The burly body looked up at the lights of the city for the last time, and then Then he fell straight on his back.
"Iron Vice Admiral" Tirian's face then appeared in the crystal ball, and the background behind him... seemed to be a familiar room.
"Mistress," Rune came up behind Lucretia and bowed slightly to salute, "The research team led by Scholar Taran El has returned from the core stone ball and is currently undergoing repairs in the base. What are you preparing? When will we meet him?"
The corner of Lucretia's mouth trembled, and then she glanced at the tall tower in the center of the base - the pressure relief pipes on both sides of the top of the tower were spitting out bursts of water mist at the moment. This was the power device of the difference engine that was automatically integrated. Load balancing, it seems that the master "Talan El" has indeed brought back a lot of useful information this time
material.
"·...I take back what I just said. Your resistance is meaningful." After a moment of silence, Duncan sighed, "Leave in peace. I am not Frost's enemy - I am here to help you." city-states and fellow citizens.”
"Afternoon," Lucretia said without looking back, "Let this elf scholar rest more - he hasn't had much rest since dragging this luminous body to Breeze Harbor. I'm really worried that he will die suddenly while I'm here. on board."
In the reflection of the sea water, Duncan thought thoughtfully: "...You are not asking me to leave your body, are you trying to keep me away from the frost?"
It was still late at night, and most of the city-state was still shrouded in boundless night. However, in the eastern edge of Breeze Harbor, a hazy and cool light still illuminated all the buildings and streets - those elegances full of elven style. The spire towers and the houses with high ridges seem to be bathed in the rays of light. The vines hanging between the houses and the trees growing among the spacious plots also look lush in the light.
onion.
