"You say, what's going on with Prand's side now?"

After a long silence, Shirley finally couldn't hold back, looked up at the old scholar in front of her, and then at Miss Alice, who seemed to be familiar with Mr. Duncan, and asked hesitantly.

「…… I don't know, but I think Mr. Duncan may have taken a step in to solve the problem—though I can't think of how he solved it," Morris said, rubbing his forehead in thought, "and I care more about this here now......

He raised his head and looked around, his gaze falling on the sails of the spirits stirring out of thin air, and his expression was a little strange.

"This ship reminds me of that legend, the legend of the Lost Ship......

"Yes," said Alice's voice as soon as Maurice finished speaking, with a proud smile on her face

"This is the Lost Homeland—welcome aboard."

Morris's movement of rubbing his forehead stopped instantly, and his eyes widened in shock: "Is this really a lost country?

What is Mr. Duncan'......

"Captain, old man, you are too slow to react Shirley on the other side pursed her lips, nervous for a long time

She finally felt a little happy to know some information that others didn't know, which made her feel a lot more relaxed, "You can't think of him as Duncan?"

"You already knew about it? Morris looked at the girl in front of him incredulously, "I thought you were on this ship for the first time, like me......

"It's my first time here - but it's not the first time I've seen Captain Duncan in person," Shirley puffed out her chest triumphantly, "Dog and I have been learning from Captain Duncan for a long time...... Earlier than you anyway!"

Morris didn't care what Shirley said in the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but feel his forehead jump after hearing the other party mention "the real appearance of the captain", and then muttered strangely: "...... I'd rather not know what 'the real look is, if possible,' Shirley was stunned, "Huh? What are you talking about, old man?

"Nothing...... There are some things that should not be talked about often, which are good for physical and mental health.

"Hey, love to talk about it or not, you scholars always like to be so mysterious," Shirley pursed her lips, but she didn't be quiet for two seconds before she couldn't help but look at the end of the deck of the big ship, "You say...... Is Nina alright? She suddenly disappeared from our eyes. But Mr. Duncan said she was only away for a while......

Alice's soft and confident voice sounded from the side, comforting Shirley, who was a little worried: "Don't worry, it'll be fine.

Shirley raised her eyes, she was not familiar with Alice, but she knew that this unusually beautiful mysterious lady seemed to have been following "Captain Duncan" earlier, and she must have known some inside stories that others did not know, so she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why do you say that?" Do you know Nina's situation·

"Because the captain said so," Alice smiled, "and he said not to worry."

Shirley couldn't say the rest of the words.

For some reason, she suddenly felt that the extraordinarily beautiful lady in front of her seemed to ...... Not very smart......

At the same time, on the back deck of the Lost Country, Duncan was looking at the bright arc of flame floating in mid-air across from him.

Now, he was 100 percent sure that, at least in form, the arc of flame was an erupting sun—and it kept repeating itself from gushing to falling, which gave the impression of ...... It is as if a solar connection has been "intercepted" from a sun, not only its existence, but also its cyclic state over a certain period of time.

Now, the "intercepted" ear is quietly floating on the Lost Country, and it looks like it is only one person high. But that doesn't mean it's all there is to it...."Smallness and harmlessness"

Duncan could feel the astonishing energy within, and even though he could only feel a fraction of it, the devastating heat and terrifying power from the stars was enough to suffocate him, even more than he had ever felt when he peered into the Creep Sun Wheel through the Golden Mask

I am even more convinced that this flame flow really comes from the "sun".

From a true sun that is beyond the knowledge of the sun believers, and has been disintegrated in some ancient era.

This Riqi is now small and harmless, only because it is still under control.

Duncan couldn't comprehend that there was no way in his knowledge to explain why part of the Sun had become the way it was, or to guess what had happened to the real star to which the Sun once belonged.

Just like he can't understand the world, he can't understand what kind of annihilation can create this strange and dangerous "deep sea age".

But he eventually shook his head.

None of these things matter for the time being.

Duncan took a light breath to refocus his mind, and then tentatively reached out his right hand to the "Sun".

The deadly heat appeared in his perception, but in the next second, the heat dissipated like an illusion, and he saw a cluster of faint green fire dancing on his fingertips, and inside that ear, there were also wisps of green flame quietly swimming, as if resonating.

Not long ago, it was this prematurely implanted "pollution" that terminated and tore through the darkness over Prand

The birth process of the sun also preserved Nina's "humanity"

"Nina, try again, Duncan said, "Remember the moment of transformation, let yourself 'come back,'

We're very close to success just now."

The flame stream jumped in the air a few times, and then the surface swelled, and the golden flame rose and entwined, and in a short time, a figure gradually tightened out of the throbbing firelight, and this vague figure could be seen to be a girl, but the outline of her facial features was unclear.

She lowered her head and seemed to look at her body curiously, but in the next second, the flames that had just condensed shattered again, and she turned into a gushing flame stream again.

"Don't be discouraged, let's try again," Duncan didn't get impatient at all, just gently continued to lead, "I'll 'hold on, yours, since you can recover to this extent, it means that this idea works......" The flame arc swelled again, and the golden flames crackled, and then Nina's figure emerged from the flames again.

Duncan watched this scene with some nervousness - similar attempts had been made several times, but each time they had failed halfway through, and although the process should indeed be controllable based on the feedback from the spiritual fire implanted in the solar fragments, it was clear that this large and unfamiliar power was not so easy to grasp.

The golden flames crackled, and Duncan was ready to fail again.

But after the next breath, the flames and arcs of fire in front of him instantly dissipated.

A familiar figure jumped out of the last leap of firelight.

A gentle sea breeze blows across the deck, carrying with it both wet and cold. The ends of Nina's hair fluttered slightly in the sea breeze, and the bright sunlight slanted through the clouds and through her wind-blown hair, dancing like flames between the fluttering strands of hair.

And in the next moment, those sunlight flames that were jumping in the hair dissipated like phantom strands.

Nina smiled as if her eyes were completely different from what she remembered, but there was no doubt about it, "Uncle Duncan": "

Uncle, I'm back!"

It was only at this moment that Duncan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and with his breath of relief, the whole Lost Country reacted - the ship seemed to have been tense all along, all the cables, masts, and sails were tense, but now, crackling sounded from all directions, mixed with the whirring and clicking of the deck.

It's as if the whole ship is cheering, celebrating with the captain.

"Quiet," Duncan said back, and the ship fell silent before he turned his gaze back to Nina with some curiosity, "You still recognize me?"

"Yes, you're Uncle Duncan," Nina said as a matter of course, but then scratched her face—her usual way of hiding her embarrassment and helplessness, "but ......

I don't know how to recognize it, but I think it's you, and when you were floating in the sky before, you beckoned me to come down, and I recognized it directly......

She hesitated to stop, looked Duncan up and down in front of her, and narrowed her eyes slightly, as if to carefully discern some detail of "uncle".

Not at all, it bears almost no resemblance to Uncle Duncan in an antique shop.

But a clear perception is directly reflected in one's own mind.

It's as if I recognize the person in front of me by "reading the facts" instead of with my eyes.

Nina didn't know how to explain how she was feeling at the moment, so she could only giggle in confusion until Duncan stepped forward and rubbed her hair as usual.

"That's fine," Duncan exhaled softly, "I'm still struggling with how to explain this ship to you, and what I look like in the other way."

Nina dodged the hand pressed against her head, the Uncle Duncan in front of her was much taller than she remembered, and the other man's palm was also much wider and rougher, and the calloused fingers brushed her forehead, making her feel itchy.

After a while, after the other party had withdrawn his hand, she suddenly raised her head and looked Duncan straight into the eyes.

"I actually have two 'uncles,' right?"

She said suddenly.

Duncan's gaze didn't dodge, and although the moment was indeed sudden, he wasn't too surprised.

It seemed like a long time ago, he knew that this moment would come sooner or later.

If there is any power in this world that can resist the power of "Captain Duncan", it is the "Sun...... in spite of

Which sun it is an expected choice.

He met Nina's gaze quietly.

"You noticed?

「…… Hmm."
