Chapter 543: True Appearance
In the crew area below deck, Shirley was sitting in her room with a sad face, sighing at the pile of exercise books spread out on the table......
So much... When will I be able to finish writing....
"If you sigh all the time, you will never finish writing." Ah Dog muttered beside him, "And it's not much at all, you just drag it every day and don't write it, Miss Alice can even complete these exercises on time every day, okay?"
"Her way of writing what she thinks of and filling in the title can also be called 'done'?"
Shirley rolled her eyes suddenly, then stuck her head on the table, muttering in a muffled voice, I want to go ashore to play, I want to go to the city-state to buy food, I want to eat something delicious...... Nina said that there are a lot of delicious foods in the Breeze, and there are foods all over the world..."
However, the dog had been accustomed to Shirley's chatter many years ago, and it shook its head, unmoved in its tone: "Boat Chang said when you finished writing your towing homework and when you can go ashore to play."
Shirley pursed her lips, then faced the workbook on the table, thought for a while, suddenly rolled her eyes, with a snickering smile on her face that she had done something bad, and carefully bent down to get closer to the dog who was lying on the floor: "What, if you don't help, these topics will definitely be ...... for you"
However, as soon as Shirley was halfway through this, Ah Dog didn't even have time to respond, and a voice suddenly came out of a mirror in front of the desk: "I'm watching."
Shirley burst into tears and exaggeratedly, "Ah. With a sigh, he raised his head to look at Agatha's figure emerging from the mirror, and his expression seemed to cry: "Can't you just stare at others?" Why, no matter what I do, you're going to come out of the mirror. ”
Agatha in the mirror looked serious, "Because Chuan Chang said that he wanted me to stare at you and do my homework." ”
Shirley sighed, put her head into the workbook on the desk again, rolled her face through the book several times, and then suddenly raised her head again: "Then can you help......
Agatha didn't hesitate: "No."
Shirley suddenly became confused: "That's not what the story says, the story says that the magic mirror knows everything, as long as you ask the magic mirror, the mirror will tell the answer to the person who asked the question........"
Agatha frowned, "Where did this weird story come from?"
"Boats told Nina about it, and Nina told me about it."
Listening to Shirley's argument that the essence of the earth was just messing around, the expression on Agatha's face suddenly became serious, and after thinking for a few seconds, she looked into Shirley's eyes and asked, "Did Zhou Chang really tell Nina a story about the magic mirror?"
"Yes...... Oh, yes. Shirley didn't know why the other party suddenly became serious, and suddenly a little nervous when she answered, "Just what I said two days ago......"
Agatha thought very seriously, and muttered softly in thought, "He arranged for me to live in the mirror of the ship
…… Is there something else that it means......"
Shirley didn't react at all: "Uh...... Huh?"
However, Agatha did not answer her, and after a moment of hard thought, the "gatekeeper in the mirror" raised his head and glanced at Shirley: "You don't know any questions."
Shirley thought for a moment and pushed the exercise book forward: "This book won't ......"
"This one?"
"Well, if it's too troublesome, I can ...... the first part of the oral arithmetic."
"Write it yourself."
Duncan, who had just returned to the ship's room, raised his head with some suspicion, as if listening to the movement from afar, and the goat's head on the sailing table suddenly turned his gaze: "What's wrong with you?"
I seemed to 'hear' Agatha's voice. Duncan said casually, of course, that he wasn't real
Listen to "something, but the ship is constantly transmitting messages to him from every corner of the Lost Land."
"She seems to be in Shirley's room, and she is quite emotional."
"Need to go and see the situation? Or call her over?"
"No, you don't." Duncan shook his head, and everyone in charge of staring at Shirley's homework would eventually get emotionally excited, and this could also be seen as a kind of mental training......
The goat's head snorted, and he didn't know if it really understood the meaning of the complaint, Duncan silently sensed the state of the Lost Country again, walked to the table and sat down, and exhaled softly: "It's time for Shirley and Nina to go to the shore to breathe, just as Lucrecia is about to return to Breeze, let her give her a ride."
The goat's head quietly paid attention to the boat's movements and expression, and finally couldn't help but speak: "It looks like you're in a good mood?"
"Maybe it's because I've figured something out, or maybe it's because I've put it down for a while."
Duncan raised his eyebrows, but Alice's sunny appearance involuntarily appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bring a smile, then he shook his head, reached out and took out the 'sketch' he had obtained from Lucrecia from his arms Now that the boredom in his heart has been cleared, it is time to study Taran. What exactly was drawn in the manuscript that Master El had left behind after observing Vision 001.
"What is this?" Seeing Duncan's actions, the goathead immediately turned his head in this direction curiously, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in the dark black dale eyes. ”
This is a sketch of Taran, Al after observing the surface of the visionary 001. Duncan said casually, unfolding the paper and placing it in front of the oil lamp next to it.
"It may be hiding the true appearance of the 'sun' on the surface, but the most crucial details have been erased by Taran-El himself."
The goat's head was stunned, and let out an inexplicable exclamation: "Oh......"
"I thought you'd be the first to alert me to the dangers of doing this, as you've always done before."
Duncan was a little surprised by the goat's head's reaction, he raised his eyelids and glanced at the guy, "Why don't you bother this time?" ”
"I used to fear for your safety, but now I only fear for the safety of those who try to oppose you."
The goat's head was immediately complimented, and his choice of words and sentences was extremely familiar.
A mere sketch would not threaten the great Duncan's boat, even if it depicted the true face of the old gods, not to mention that the person who drew the picture was just a mortal, and what truth could the one named Taran and El see?
Duncan ignored the goat's head, which was obviously a compliment, and instead studied the pattern on the scratch paper. But after looking at it over and over again for a long time, he still couldn't analyze anything behind the messy smearing, and he even felt.... The lines that seem to be just scribbled haphazardly are like some kind of "seal" with power, they "cover" the original image on this paper from the occult concept, not just a layer of ink that interferes with the vision. ”
He lowered his head again, carefully observing the criss-crossing lines and large scribbles on the scratch paper, Taran, Master El is a senior and experienced scholar, and a devout disciple of the god of wisdom Rahim, although he has a problem with poor work and rest, but his attainments in the occult are definitely deep enough, such a scholar, if he really perceives some extremely dangerous factors when observing Vision 001, Then he will definitely try to use more professional methods to control this danger as soon as possible, even if his sanity has begun to be affected at that time, the ink left on the scratch paper should not be a simple smear, so with conventional methods, it will never be possible to see the true appearance behind these inks, this is actually a secret letter that has been dealt with with extraordinary power?
Duncan frowned slightly, a faint thought emerged in his heart, and then he turned his head and looked at the oil lamp placed next to him, under his gaze, the flame in the oil lamp suddenly jumped, and then quickly dyed a layer of dark green, the spirit fire expanded and burned, and even rose from the opening above the lampshade, after a little hesitation, Duncan picked up the scratch paper, and placed it above the flame formed by the spirit fire, and in just an instant, the burning green flame swallowed the entire paper.
There was indeed a camouflage formed by some kind of extraordinary power on it, and the goat's head on the side exclaimed when he saw this scene:
"Why did you burn it?"
"The fire of the spirit burns only the twisted parts."
Duncan looked at the fussy goat's head with a nonchalant expression, and with a flick of his wrist extinguished the raging flame on the scratch paper, and under the flames, the fragile piece of manuscript paper was still intact.
This is what it is, as he spoke, Duncan took the flame-treated manuscript paper to his eyes, glanced at the pattern re-revealed on it, and the next second, his expression suddenly froze, and the goathead immediately noticed the change in the captain's expression, and immediately turned his neck to look at this side with concern and curiosity, but due to the angle, it could not see the content on the front of the paper, and could only shout: "What's on it?" Are you alright? That ......"
Duncan finally woke up from his stunned state, his gaze was withdrawn from the paper, and he raised his head to look at the goat's head with a strange expression: "It's the true face of the old god."
Goat's head: "?"
Duncan didn't speak again, but slowly lowered his head, and continued to carefully examine the drawing on the scratch paper, the sphere locked by the double rune ring, the one shrouded in dark shadows, but the surface was covered with hideous blood and lines, as if his eyes were widening in anger......
