Alice stopped at the door of the captain's quarters.

Miss Doll looked up at the dark oak door in front of her, and noticed a line of words written on the door frame in beautiful floral letters: Door of the Lost.

Of course, it was not surprising that such a line appeared on the door frame of the captain's room of the Lost Country, but Alice still subconsciously frowned - she was curious not about this door, but about why she knew "words".

She has no memory of learning words, in fact she doesn't have any memory of "learning", and she doesn't remember where she has accumulated the experience of being out and talking to people, but this knowledge naturally exists in her mind.

She could read the letters on the door frame of the captain's room, and she could read the purpose of the various furnishings in the room, which she couldn't learn by just lying in a wooden box and listening to the conversation of people outside—where did that knowledge come from?

Before today, Alice had never considered this question, but for some reason, after talking to the "Captain Duncan", the concept of "curiosity" suddenly popped up in the puppet's mind, which was supposed to be always in peace.

She thought about it, and the change seemed to have occurred after Duncan asked about the origin of the name "Alice...... In that moment, she questioned something that was taken for granted in her mind and began to try to recall the origin of her name, and then something loosened in her mind.

Alice didn't know if the loosening was good or bad, but she didn't like the feeling of confusion, so she quickly shook her head, threw the doubt aside from her mind, and adjusted her mind at the door of the captain's quarters, before she put her hand on the handle of the oak door and pushed forward with a slight force.

The door did not move.

Alice was stunned for a moment, and tried to push again, but she felt that the wooden door was as unshaken as if it had been poured out of steel in its entirety.

Then, as she tried again, a voice suddenly came from the captain's quarters—a hoarse and low voice that seemed to come from a piece of rotten wood: "The door opens outward, ma'am." ”

It wasn't Captain Duncan's voice, and Alice was startled, but she reacted quickly and hurriedly opened the door with an oh - this time, it opened very softly.

It was only then that she remembered that the captain seemed to have pulled the door open when he had brought her here.

It seems that the "life knowledge" that appears out of thin air in her mind is only knowledge after all, and she still lacks real survival experience after sleeping in a wooden box all the year round—Alice reflected on it for a moment, and then cautiously poked her head into the captain's room.

The captain's cabin was empty, and the striking nautical table, whose surface was a thin haze, sat in the light, and the dark carved wooden goat's head was turning its gaze from the edge of the table, a pair of obsidian-carved eyes staring at him hollowly.

"Come in, ma'am, the captain is busy, you can wait here for a while," the goathead spoke, more politely than Alice had imagined, "and besides, try to avoid such probes, as it will make some of the overly nervous guys on the Lost feel that they are being annoyed, and it will be troublesome to appease them—and it will be a problem if your head falls off again, I don't have the hands to help you pick up ......"

Really spoken! This wood carving really speaks!

Although Captain Duncan had said before that the goat's head on the sailing table could speak, Alice was stunned when she suddenly heard a wood carving crackling with so many things, and she reacted before she replied consciously: "Ah, okay, but my head doesn't fall off so easily, and I was still ...... the last time I installed it." Wait, you said that there are some nerves on the Lost Country...... Is there still ...... on this ship?"

Alice realized the information revealed in the goat's head's words just now, and she immediately looked around with surprise and nervousness, at this moment, she seemed to feel that everything in the captain's room, and even the entire Lost Country, was shaking in the dark, turning into a "strange thing" like the strange goat's head, and the goat's voice immediately came to her ears: "Is this strange? It would take a lot of men to make a ship of this magnitude run, do you think the great Captain Duncan would wash the deck himself? ”

What the goat's head said turned out to be quite reasonable, although Alice's mind that had just woken up and was not very bright, although she felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this, but after thinking about it for a long time, she could only nod: "That's what I said...... So there are a lot of ...... like you on the Lost Country."

"The captain only has one loyal lieutenant, and the rest are a bunch of people with less brains, you don't have to think about communicating with them - they don't have any interest in communicating with people," Goathead interrupted Alice before she could finish speaking, "but considering that you are a newcomer to the ship, it is normal not to understand a lot of reasons and rules, as Captain Duncan's most loyal first mate and second mate and ......, I need to tell you some common sense that you must know to survive on this ship, after all, the captain will not deign to explain this kind of thing to newcomers...... Are you ready, ma'am? ”

Alice listened stunned for a moment, she had forgotten the original purpose of coming to the captain's room, and only felt that the goat's head in front of her was a big crackling string every time she spoke, and after three or two openings, the rhythm of the conversation was completely off her side, especially when the other party suddenly popped out a large list of titles just now, she felt that her whole head was buzzing, and at this time, she could only subconsciously nod when the other party's voice fell: "Ah, ah, good...... Good? ”

"Very well, then here are a few rules that the crew of the Lost Country must know, which will help the newcomers adapt more quickly and fully accept the blessings of the Lost Country and the great Captain Duncan on the treacherous and endless seas......

The goathead was visibly pleased with Alice's answer, and as he spoke, he shook his wooden head with obvious smugness in his tone—

"First, Captain Duncan is the absolute master of the Lost Land, and Captain Duncan is always right, even if reality conflicts with Captain Duncan's words, Captain Duncan's judgment must prevail.

"Second, any crew member is only allowed to move in the areas permitted by Captain Duncan, and Captain Duncan is not allowed to set foot in areas that have not been ordered to be opened, because those areas do not exist.

"Third, if you step into an unpermitted area and you are lucky enough to survive for the time being, you must stay where you are, wait for Captain Duncan to bring you back, or wait for death in peace - you are not allowed to return without permission, because you are not returning to the Lost Land.

"Fourth, the Lost Country is always on the right course, don't question the captain's sailing plan, if you find that the scenery around the Lost Country is not what you expected, or if you find that the Lost Country has fallen into a deeper sea, then this is part of the normal sailing plan.

"Fifthly, the captain will occasionally leave the ship, but he will certainly return, and while the captain is away, the Lost will continue to sail normally, but all crew members will not be near the aft bridge—the rudder system will be insecure when the captain leaves, and the stern cable will hang all the daredevils who show 'usurpation' behavior.

"Sixth, on the Lost Homeland, there are only six basic rules for crews.

"Seventh, the door to the captain's room opens outward."

Goathead seems to have taught "common sense" to new crew members on more than one occasion, and he said these rules very smoothly and naturally, but Alice immediately sensed that something was wrong when she heard the last two: "Wait, Mr. Goathead, you just said the sixth ......"

"Sixth, on the Lost Homeland, there are only six basic rules for crews." The goathead replied at once that he had not dragged his feet when it came to these basic rules.

Alice was a little suspicious for a moment if there was something wrong with her or the "first mate" in front of her: "But you also mentioned the seventh ...... just now"

"Seventh, the door to the captain's room opens outward." The goat's head replied very naturally.

Alice looked at the black goat's head carving on the table, and after doubting her ears, she began to doubt her own brains—but soon she realized that she didn't have them, so she confirmed them again: "These two...... Isn't it a contradiction? ”

"There is no contradiction."

Listening to the goat's resolute answer, looking at the other party's empty and dark eyes, Alice opened her mouth, but suddenly swallowed all the questions back.

(Oh yes!) ）
