Chapter 52: The Captain Is Not Home
One will, focusing on two perspectives at the same time, controlling two bodies, and doing completely different things, was a rather novel experience for Duncan.
It is also an extremely difficult challenge.
He thought that he should not be an ordinary person now, but even so, it was not easy to control two bodies without burden, and he tried to get familiar with this feeling of being single-minded, and finally after tossing for a long time, he only barely managed to control the body in the antique store and crawled back to the bed, and continued to raise the corpse.
But judging by the feedback coming from the depths of his consciousness, he thinks that sooner or later he will be able to master this dual-purpose technique - it just takes a long time to become familiar with and train.
After arranging the body in the antique shop and paying a little attention there, Duncan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It is most important to ensure the connection to the "remote body" as soon as possible after the spiritual walk, which is directly related to whether the foothold he has finally found in the civilized world can be used for a long time, and after this matter is done, he is in a much lighter mood, and he has the energy to pay attention to other things.
The sound of flapping wings came from the side at this moment, and the pigeon Ay ran to Duncan in twos and threes, the bird puffed out its chest, and there was a deep pride in its eyes and tone: "Teleportation successful!" β
Duncan's gaze passed over the pigeon and landed on the table behind it.
A pale gold sun emblem, as well as two bottles of spirits, were sitting there quietly at the moment.
A smile slowly appeared on Duncan's face, and then the smile grew brighter and brighter.
Feasible! It is feasible to have this pigeon piggyback on the "goods" as it walks in the spirit realm! And it's not just about transcendent items, but even ordinary items can be teleported!
With a satisfied smile, he got up and took a few items on the table, first checked the situation of the Sun Emblem, and confirmed that there was still a faint power circulating in this transcendent item, which was the power that had been completely occupied and transformed by him with the spirit fire, and then he picked up one of the bottles of spirits, took off the lid and put it in front of his nose, and the strong smell of alcohol immediately came.
Duncan glanced down at Ey, who was already pacing up the table.
Efficient, high quality, and free shipping β he started to like this chatty pigeon.
The pigeon also immediately noticed the sight of the "master", and it immediately trotted next to Duncan, pecked the table with its beak, and shouted: "Hour fries!" Hour fries! β
"There are no fries on the ship for the time being, but I think it won't be a problem soon," Duncan happily grabbed the pigeon in his hand and winked at each other's mung bean eyes, "but I don't know what the maximum amount of material you can deliver at a time, whether it is limited to dead objects, and if there will be 'packet loss'...... It's going to take a few more tests......"
The pigeon thought for a moment and craned his neck: "Lost the bag?" Oops, the page is missing......"
ββ¦β¦ Yes, that's what I'm afraid of, your name always makes me feel unreliable and old. Duncan's mind couldn't help but diverge a little, the fact that the pigeon had successfully teleported more things to the Lost Country made him very excited, which made him think of more practical attempts, not just to deliver supplies to the ship, but the bird's erratic IQ and poor contact logic always made him dare not let go, after thinking about it, he still felt that he had to do a few more tests before really establishing a "supply line" between the Lost Country and the land.
With a plan in mind for the next step, Duncan got up from his chair and walked to the door to the chart room, but stopped after taking two steps.
He moved the joints on his body in place, stretched his legs and feet, and felt the touch of his limbs.
Flexible, powerful, without the slightest hint of fatigue or sluggishness, as if he had just sat at the table for a short while.
However, he was well aware that it had been more than a day since he had "left" the Lost Land, and that while walking in the spirit realm, his body remained in the captain's quarters, maintaining the posture of sitting at the table.
Duncan carefully perceived the limbs, and through his accurate grasp of his own physical condition, he was almost certain that this body was completely maintained in the state of the moment when the spirit world walked, as if it were ...... The moment the consciousness leaves, the body falls into a kind of "stillness".
This is also the special power of "Captain Duncan"? Or is it ...... Because he is actually half a ghost now, he will be as tireless as a ghost?
He pondered curiously, but had no clue.
He has begun to understand the history of this world, the rise and fall of civilized city-states, but he can't even solve the secrets of his own body.
But either way, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing, this body doesn't need much "maintenance", which means that he can feel more comfortable dividing some of his energy into other areas.
Duncan was a man of great vision, or rather, he was very good at putting aside the puzzles that were not solved for the time being, and when he had figured it out, he went to the door and pushed open the door to the chart room.
Captain Duncan is back.
The oak door creaked softly, breaking the silence in the chart room, and the next second, the wooden carved goat's head on the edge of the sailing table suddenly made a clicking sound, and the piece of wood quickly turned its head in the direction from which the sound came, and under the empty gaze, it slowly spoke: "Name? β
"Duncan Abnomar," Duncan glanced at the goat's head, "I'm back." β
"Ahh The great Captain Duncan is back on his loyal Lost Land! I'm sorry Captain, but you've been walking in the Spirit Realm for a long time, so I need to check it again...... It's a rule you set after all. How do you feel? What's the mood? How is the body? How did you get out of this long spiritual walk? Did you find something interesting? Would you like to share this walking tour with your loyal first mate and the following omitted? Did you notice that I used 'the following omission' just now? Miss Alice says that this will make the conversation a little more concise, and you may prefer this kind of concise ......"
"Shut up, you've got all that little bit of condensed words back up on the nonsense," Duncan glanced at the noisy thing, "Did anything happen on the ship while I was away?" β
"Ah, Captain Duncan's stern and humorous manner is as good as ever, and what you have taught is that everything is fine on board, and your loyal following ellipsis have perfectly fulfilled the task of taking the helm that you have been given. Miss Alice has been here twice, but it was not a big deal, once with the cable and once with the anchor cable......"
Duncan was about to walk through the chart room to check the situation on the deck, when he heard the goat's words, he suddenly stopped, and he had a question mark on his face: "Why is she fighting with the cable and the anchor cable?" β
He was able to sense the situation on the Lost Land during his spiritual walk, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and could only vaguely feel Alice "exploring" as she walked around the ship...... Why is she still having such a lively time on the boat while she is away?
"Oh, Miss Alice, actually, is kind," replied the goathead at once, "and she thinks it's bad to be idle on board, and wants to find something to do, so she goes to arrange the ropes and maintain the winchβbut I forgot to tell her that the ropes are itchy and the anchors need a nap......"
Duncan: "......"
"Captain, are you angry?" Duncan's sudden silence made the goat's head tense up and swayed its wooden head back and forth, "Actually, it's not a big deal, besides, a new member of a ship always needs to run in to get along with the old sailors - now that they have entered the stage of 'fighting', it shows that Miss Alice is quickly integrating into the group." In fact, she's quite popular on the ship, and most of the ...... on the Lost Land."
As soon as Goathead was halfway through his sentence, he heard a sudden sound of hurried footsteps on the deck outside, and then the door of the captain's room was opened, and Alice rushed in hurriedly: "Mr. Goathead, why do the shells from the ammunition depot keep rolling around and won't let me ......?"
Duncan gave Alice a silent look.
Alice also spotted Duncan standing at the nautical table, looking at him stiffly and embarrassedly.
"Well, this is the third time," the goat's head on the nautical table sighed, "and this time she's fighting with the cannonballs...... I'll admit that Miss Alice's run-in on the boat may have been a little too lively......"
Alice shrunk her neck (probably reinforcing her joints) and looked nervously at Duncan, who had a blank expression: "Captain, you're back......"
"Well," Duncan nodded, his face nonchalant, "Looks like you had a great time on the ship while I wasn't there?" β
Alice: "......"
