Chapter 5: The Island
"Elena Phoebe. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After the two had been talking for a long time, she said this in Makoto's awkward question.
Through the exchange, Makoto learned one piece of information that should be considered interesting, that is, Elena woke up on the beach of this small island, and her memory is incomplete, but she has a considerable understanding of the sea of dead souls.
"So every awakened being here has been washed up on the island by the waves?"
"Well, if you're lucky, you'll get a new lease of life as soon as you get out of the water, but again, the water will hurt us from then on. ”
Elena seemed to think of the fact that she had fallen into the water by mistake, and with a little embarrassment, she changed the subject: "There is a strange record in my memory, that is, the islands in the Sea of Dead Souls can not only give us shelter, but also grow because of the presence of us necromancy?"
"Growth?"
"Yes, it is said that the island here will grow in size by stealing the memories of the undead on it. She looked around for a moment, then said, "It's half as big as I remember. ”
Makoto looked at this less than 100 square meters of land and wondered, "So your memory is eaten by this island instead of being hurt by the black sea water?"
"No, you're mistaken, all resurrected undead memories are missing, and that's part of the cost of recovery, and the island devouring memories doesn't make them disappear, more accurately replicating rather than devouring. ”
After a pause, she continued: "It is said that the island will transform the things in his memory according to the undead on it, and the plants in the memories of the undead will grow on the island, the buildings in the memory will appear, and even some islands with powerful beings will also produce some life. ”
She looked around again and added, "It's mostly twisted, though. ”
"Twisted?"
"Yes, just as plants grow fleshy fruits, buildings are no longer made of masonry, and life appears only as twisted spirits. ”
Makoto immediately looked at the ground with an unacceptable expression.
Not because of what Elena said, but because of her slightly muffled voice at this time, with a scared posture.
At this time, Makoto's head was full of a shriveled dead corpse with his hands on his chest in a frightened manner, and it felt like he was naked in a cold winter place, and there was nothing sour from the inside out.
'It feels no different than soaking in that black water. He thought so.
In order to dispel the illusions in his mind, he hurriedly said, "But this seems to be just an ordinary island. ”
Elena froze, and after a moment she replied, "Probably, probably because I fell into the water." ”
......
After the initial conversation, Makoto finally learns that the lamp that guided him is indeed a prop that can summon the ghost ship, but unfortunately, Elena seems to have lost memories of this part, so she can't say how she made it.
The lights have gone out, because Makoto's arrival has allowed it to fulfill its mission.
It wasn't until this moment that Makoto finally confirmed his identity, the identity of the ghost ship or the ghost captain.
The only ship that can travel on the Sea of the Revenant, it is a servant of the god Terfirea, who transports the souls of the dead in this area between the islands, and it is even rumored that the ghost ship can travel to other seas with the breath of death.
The ship, along with the captain and crew, makes up the unit of the ghost ship.
And Makoto, who has fused with the ship and can steer the ship on his own, has apparently acquired the identity of the ghost ship and the ghost captain.
Maybe that's the reason why Makoto looks like a human being.
Elena apparently hadn't thought about it, as she hadn't seen a real ghost either, and she thought of Makoto as a being who had just been washed ashore after he died.
"So to relight this lamp requires not only souls, but also dead man's grease?"
"The lamp wasn't damaged, so just these things were needed. Elena said as she stared at Makoto.
She had wanted to express a sense of firmness that was indeed so, but it was clear that Makoto had misunderstood, as there didn't seem to be a third soul on the island.
Makoto felt a little dry in his throat, and he clearly didn't think he could a woman in heavy armor who moved freely.
Although his strength seems to have increased a lot.
"If she dares to do it, I'll go back to the ship at once. Makoto thought so.
"So?"
"So we have to wait for the other dead bodies that have washed up on the shore. She seemed to be afraid that Makoto would misunderstand, and then explained: "Not all people who are washed ashore can be self-aware, and more often they become unintelligent zombies after soaking in the sea for a long time, so we just collect the grease from them." ”
"What about souls?" Makoto asked.
This seemed to remind her, and seeing Makoto's wary look, she chuckled and said, "The sea water here can replace the soul." ”
Makoto only felt a chill spread from his heart to his whole body, and quickly shook his head to dispel the face in his brain that looked like chewed betel nut dregs.
'Horrible, horrible, she still hasn't taken off her helmet, and if she takes it off, I'm going to be scared to death.' Cheng was secretly afraid, although he didn't know what his force value was, but this face alone should be regarded as the injury of Qingcheng with a smile.
Fortunately, she didn't know that Makoto had ever opened her helmet.
Elena seemed to be very curious about that Taihua country, and asked Makoto many questions, and because she knew from her mouth that the sea area had been banned by the gods, Makoto didn't have many scruples, and she said a lot of modern things casually without caring about it, and this obviously deepened Elena's interest.
Modern things are full of surprises for Elena, and the fantasy world in Elena's mouth is constantly filled with Makoto's desire to explore the unknown.
The Necronomicon has no hunger pangs and seems to have little control over their emotions, and when the two of them are immersed in the search for the unknown, time seems to speed up.
"So theoretically, the only limit to technological development is destruction. Makoto ended the topic with some unfinished thoughts, and he obviously couldn't dig out any logical points for the topic he had raised.
Although it was a thing that Makoto was blowing nonsense, Elena seemed to listen very energetically, and when she saw Makoto end the topic, she thought for a while, and said, "Is it because the development of a thing exceeds the limit of what people can accept?
Because it was a topic of nonsense, Cheng obviously didn't have any feelings, so he could only follow her meaning: "Of course, no matter how good things are, it's not appropriate to divide them." ”
It was something that was said casually, but for the first time in so many days, Elena fell silent.
Makoto obviously doesn't understand why.
Seeing that Elena was lost in thought, Makoto got up from the stone and moved his hands and feet without any tiredness, turned his head to look around, and his face immediately turned sluggish.
The island, which was originally less than 100 square meters, had tripled in size, and not only that, but it was not known when a large area of grass and plants had grown on the island.
Makoto, who has good eyesight because he has become a ghost captain, sees a plant called peanut with small flowers blooming in it.
When I was a child, I used to plant it in a flower pot in order to eat it, so I will never admit it wrong.
"This island is replicating my memories!"
Such thoughts crossed his mind
