It was a secluded sea that had never appeared on any official chart, and far from any legal shipping lanes—the lights of the civilized world could no longer illuminate this misty sea, and no sane ocean-going captain would have set foot here, and the magnificent curtain of fog that encompassed the whole world stood ahead, and even if the sun still illuminated the sea, those who sailed here would not feel the slightest solace in the sun.

People have given this chilling place a name - the border.

A large ship that was almost fragmented, and should have sunk to the bottom of the sea a long time ago, was slowly moving through the mist, like a silent ghost, towards the "wall of mist" that was like a ram in the distance.

The dark green flames rose and burned like silent phantoms in all directions of the broken ship, and the translucent spirit flames forcibly "maintained" the ship that should have been torn apart, and its half of the hull tore a terrifying opening, and the huge and complex mechanical structure inside it was exposed like the internal organs of some kind of giant beast, and soaked in the dark green flames, and the ghostly fire spread outward from the hull of the ship, flowing and permeating the nearby sea, where the flames flowed, the thin mist all around slowly subsided.

A flame rose and Duncan's figure appeared on the deck—a translucent spirit form.

With the help of the "artificial beacon" left on the ship, he arrived here, but this time he did not teleport all of his "body" here like last time, but only dropped a phantom here - most of his attention was still on the Lost Homeland.

Now that the ships of all sides have not converged, he must come here to see the situation first.

The majestic fog finally stood before his eyes.

Duncan walked across the deck, over the cracks and wrecked metal wreckage torn by the explosion, and stepped to the bow of the ship, looking out at the magnificent "stunning" in the distance.

It was a "wall" that penetrated the sky and the earth, and the thick and boundless fog almost condensed into a substance, connecting the sky and the sea, standing in his field of vision like the end of the world, and there were constantly magnificent "cloud streams" like waterfalls from the top of the curtain, flowing, silently falling on the sea, turning into a diffuse fog that permeated the entire border sea.

In front of this magnificent barrier, whether it is the big ship built by the cultists under his feet, or the Lost Country, or even those church arks, they will all seem as small as dust.

"This is the end of the world...... Duncan muttered softly as if to himself, standing quietly at the bow of the ship, "to finally see it with his own eyes." ”

He recalled the "collapse of the border" he had experienced shortly after his arrival in the world, and the sudden collapse of the fog he had seen on the normal sea—a scene that he felt so magnificent at the time that its awe-inspiring coercion is still vividly imprinted on his heart to this day.

But after actually being here, and seeing the infinite curtain of this "border" with his own eyes, he realized how little the "collapse" that occurred inside the "shelter" compared to the real "border".

…… But will this boundless and magnificent real "border" also have a "collapse" day?

Duncan's mind swirled around the idea that it would make everyone panic when he said it, and he quietly looked at the scenery in the distance for a moment, then reached out and waved it lightly in the air.

Flames swirled around his fingertips and drew an oval outline in the air, and the inside of the silhouette took on a mirror-like scene, and the next second, Agatha's figure appeared in the mirror: "I am." ”

"What's changing in the spirit world here?" Duncan asked casually.

"Wait a minute, I'll go down and have a look." Agatha nodded in the mirror, and the figure dissipated into thin air.

Duncan waited patiently for a moment, and Agatha's figure reappeared in the summoned mirror—only her hair looked a little messy.

"The spirit world is darker and more chaotic, with amorphous shadows skimming the surface of the sea—those shadows are more unfriendly than those within the civilized world," Agatha reported as she straightened her hair, then added after a pause, "...... Very unfriendly, plain berserk. ”

"Beaten?" Duncan frowned, a little worried.

"Beat up all the guys who came over," Agatha said with a gesture of her arm, smiling a little happily - she seemed to have adjusted well to the gang after a long time on the Lost Country as she let go of the burden of her "gatekeeper" memory...... The atmosphere in the team is "not difficult to deal with, but it is more bizarre." In addition......"

"Also?"

"There is also a 'veil,' in the spirit world," Agatha said, raising her hand and pointing to the curtain barrier that connected to the sky in the distance, "like the reflection of this veil, standing dark and dreary in front of it, and it looks ...... Even more dangerous and weird, there were many amorphous outlines in the black curtain that were undulating and recombining, which didn't give me a good feeling. ”

Listening to Agatha's description, Duncan frowned slightly.

"In other words, it is not feasible to 'dive' directly through the spiritual realm through the Veil of Eternity," he pondered, "This 'border' seems to encircle the entire world from all dimensions, and there is no safe 'shortcut'......"

"It's to be expected," Agatha nodded, "after all, if our world is a 'shelter', then the 'walls' of this shelter must be tight enough so that we can have a safe environment to survive in the chaos after the world collides." ”

Speaking of this, she thought for a moment, and then continued: "In Mr. Morris's recently refined model, the 'veil' structure of the border should not only block the physical and spiritual realms at the same time, but may even extend into the deep sea, and not just from the space...... In terms of time, there should also be a structure similar to the 'Curtain of Eternity' to ensure the completeness of the entire 'Sanctuary'......"

"'Frontier' in the Dimension of Time...... In Vision 004, the grave keeper mentioned it to me," Duncan said, shaking his head, "Maurice must have been inspired by this." ”

"Yes, he has been trying to construct a 'world model' that can explain the entire Infinite Sea, and even the entire Deep Sea Age, and the truth we have recently found in the depths of the Nameless Dream and the information you have just brought out from the 'Tomb of the Nameless King' has made him make a lot of progress recently," Agatha nodded slightly, her tone tinged with admiration, "He has begun to try to explain the world we live in in terms of time and space...... He is the only scholar I know of who has made it this far. ”

"Strictly speaking, he's the only scholar who has come this far and is still alive," Duncan's tone was not without emotion, "and lately his research has been making more and more ...... on board There was extra movement, and so was Nina reading. ”

"Academics are always going to have to fight with what they're studying," Agatha said, "Miss Nina's situation is much better, and she's recently learned to be calm about what pops up from the book...... This probably has something to do with the fact that she accidentally burned the blueprints she had drawn for three days and three nights last time. ”

Hearing Agatha's words, the corners of Duncan's mouth twitched subconsciously.

Although he has been living in this world for so long, he still can't help but feel some urge to complain every time he hears about this kind of evil thing.

Regardless, Nina and Maurice are also better at wrestling with knowledge than the two dolls who are currently playing a game of joints on the ship.

In the captain's room of the Lost Country, Duncan, who was exchanging border information with Lucrecia, blinked and raised his head helplessly.

A figure in a black and white maid's dress staggered into the captain's room, the large clockwork key behind her was clicking and spinning, and she saw Duncan in the room, and a smile slowly appeared on her face: "Ship...... Captain...... Late...... What to eat for dinner...... What? ”

Duncan held back for two seconds, and finally didn't hold back: "Alice, why is your head on Luni's body?" ”

Alice's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise: "Ah, you...... How to send ...... Discovered? ”

"I'm not blind! And not stupid! Duncan slapped his forehead, and then he heard the constant "knock knock" movement coming from outside the captain's room, he reluctantly got up from behind the chart table, and walked to the door, where he saw Alice's body on top of Luney's head hitting the wall outside the door, and while hitting Luney's head, he commanded: "Crashed, crashed...... A little to the left...... Hey, on the left, it's the other way around! Your side is right! Ah......h Further to the left...... Old master? ”

Duncan looked at Luni (head) who was suddenly stunned by surprise, and then came out behind him, Lucrecia, who was also expressionless.

The two of them just looked at this Luni + Alice combination with a straight face, watched Alice's body continue to walk forward, and suddenly hit the door frame again.

"Don't go!" Luni (head) hurriedly reminded, "The old master and the mistress are out!" ”

As soon as she finished reminding her, she subconsciously controlled her body in the captain's room and walked out, only to hear a loud "coo" sound in the room.

Duncan lowered his head and saw a head with long silver hair rolling to his feet, and Alice blinked innocently: "Captain...... Save...... Save...... Save ......"

At the same time, the combination of Luni + Alice next to him also stepped into the air, and fell near the corner of Lucrecia's skirt with a plop, and Lunie's head fell to the ground with a thud, and she panicked and begged for help while rolling: "Mistress! I also dropped it!! ”

At this moment, the chaos on the scene was beyond words, and Duncan had to figure out the state of the two puppets in his mind for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say in unison with Lucrecia: "You guys change it for me!" ”
