Chapter 54 “Heirs”

Chapter 54: “Heir”

During his “departure” from the Lost Country, Alice’s activity on the ship was a little more than Duncan …… expected.

He’d always thought of the gothic doll as a classy and proper picture of a young lady – for all her head-turning, surfing, and trash-talking, she was indeed classy and quiet normally, discreet in everything she did on the ship, honest and proper when she was in an unfamiliar environment, and when there was nothing else to do, she would even settle down like a normal doll in her own box, lying down and accentuating a harmless picture of a human being.

But now it seemed as if she was only this quiet when she was nearby?

The sudden lowering of the atmosphere in the room made Alice feel a little nervous, and she carefully glanced at the expressionless Duncan, “You’re not angry, Captain, are you? I can explain ……”

“I know, you were helping, it was just an attempt,” Duncan glanced at Miss Mannequin, his tone a bit helpless, “but since you also know that a lot of things on this ship are ‘alive’, the next time you want to do something could you please check with me or my first mate?”

Alice immediately nodded her head repeatedly and loudly agreed, “Yes Captain, no problem Captain!”

She then immediately turned her head towards Goathead and muttered in a low voice, “Is there such a thing as an attempted favor?”

Goathead was rare and concise, “There is now.”

“Well, if you really want to help, go check on the dried fish drying on the deck, or go to the galley and organize the storage for ingredients to make some room, we may have a chance to replenish the food on the Lost Country in the future,” Duncan sighed and looked at Alice, “Don’t talk to the The guns below decks as well as the ammo dumps – they don’t have full intelligence like the goatheads do, those dangerous things only react instinctively to external stimuli, and in case the ammo dumps think they’ve been sabotaged or intruded on, then I’ll have to use a broom and dustpan to get you out of there.”

Alice scowled at this and turned to leave the captain’s cabin with a quick promise.

Still, Duncan couldn’t help but have a small smile on his face as he watched the mannequin leave.

This is really a very interesting fellow – a small mess is nothing to worry about, but this dead ghost ship is really lively because of her up and down.

“Looks like you’re in a good mood, Captain,” came Goathead’s voice from the side, “Ah, you’re holding something in your hand …… What’s that? Is it your haul from this spiritual walk? Like that little knife from last time?”

Duncan glanced at the sun emblem he held in his hand – he’d left the spirits in his room, and the emblem was in his hand, ready to be studied when he was bored.

“It’s a trophy,” he nodded, “like the last ceremonial knife.”

“Oh! Not bad for the great Captain Duncan! You always come back with a full load, and such an extraordinary object that possesses marvelous power at first glance……. Wait, is this a sun amulet?”

“You recognize this?” Duncan raised an eyebrow, “Yes, the sun amulet, a couple of bold cultists slipped this to me – rather graciously.”

“I …… do know a little ……” Goathead seemed to be scrutinizing the emblem, his voice slightly hesitant, “The followers of the ancient and true Sun The fanatics regard this as a holy relic, they believe that by casting metal in the shape of the real sun and quenching it with human blood, they can imbue the sun’s power into the seal, and by doing so, they can mass-produce transcendent objects with a small amount of power. …… This kind of talisman is a symbol of identity for those who have a certain status among the followers of the sun, and it is also a symbol that they use to identify fellow believers and recognize their followers. A symbol of identity for those of a certain status among the followers of the Sun, and a tool they use to recognize fellow believers and to distinguish between believers and heretics. ……”

“Discriminate between believers and heretics?” …… It does have that function,” Duncan realized, “although I personally don’t find that function very useful.”

“What became of those daring cultists?” Goathead seemed to hesitate as he said this, “They were mostly paranoid and foolish fanatics, and not even the lowliest pirate would want to deal with such fanatics chasing after the things of the past, if they dared to offend ……” “They are no longer in this world,” Duncan said as he watched the goathead’s tone change while controlling his expression, “and it looks like you don’t like these self-proclaimed ‘Sun Believers’ much either? ”

After dealing with the goat head for such a long time, Duncan had already roughly understood the way of this weird “first mate”, he was basically sure that as long as he, “Captain Duncan”, was in good charge of the ship, this goat head would not have any out of control! On this basis, he and the other party to talk to the courage is also a little bit bigger.

Now, he can already cautiously ask the other party for some information.

“Who would like those maniacs who follow the true suns of the distant past? Those ‘light’ and ‘order’ they aspire to have been long out of place in this world,” Goathead replied to Duncan’s question as usual, “Even the Lost Country ship is bathed in the sunlight of this age, and even the evil spirits that haunt the deep, deep sea would not have liked the ‘sun’ that existed before the Age of the Deep – presumably only the cultists would have considered the resurrection of the true sun to be a good thing… …”

Speaking of this, Goathead paused, and said with a hint of emotion, “But then again, ninety-nine percent of that group of cultists are actually nothing more than a bunch of brainwashed fools, who originally didn’t know what it was they were following and worshipping either, and who took the so-called ‘Sun Sons’ They regard the so-called ‘Children of the Sun’ as prophets and saviors, and they aspire to the ancient world described by those children as the Kingdom of Heaven, but in my opinion, the Children of the Sun don’t treat those fanatics as children at all. …… They are not different from the Children of the Deep at all.”

Children of the Sun? What’s that supposed to mean? And it sounds like there’s some kind of deep sea children? What the heck was that again?
Duncan’s mind reeled as a new and unfamiliar term popped into his face, bringing new confusion, and he fidgeted with the sun emblem in his hand without moving, as if asking casually, “Sun Children? Not that I’ve ever met them.”

“It’s normal, the Sun Heirs wouldn’t dare to casually show their faces in the civilized world, even if they disguise themselves as human-like, the hyenas of the Order would be able to sniff out the stench of heresy from their shadows in a minute – in the end, after all, it’s also a ‘heir’ ‘ of a kind, and as the remnants of something ancient, they should stay honestly inside the gutter of history …… Alas, of all the kinds of ‘heirs’, they are the only ones who can mess things up so much. ”

Duncan suddenly realized the goat-head’s problem of jabbering on every now and then was actually quite beneficial – while nine thousand of its ten thousand words a day were nonsense, it was also capable of popping out useful information if luck caught up with it!
In the way of not fully grasp the goat head of the bottom of the details, Duncan’s “inquisition” can only be side-tracked, do not dare to ask too revealing, but even in such a side-tracked inquiry, he also quickly grasped a lot of clues in the previous in the city-state of Plainland did not grasp—…. –

Heirs, this seems to be a rather important information, this world exists some …… creatures called “heirs”, and they are all without exception not tolerated by the civilized world, and the goat head called them “the remnants of the ancient things”. The remnants of the ancient world”;
Although the number of those who worship the “real sun god” is huge, it seems that the majority of them are just insignificant pawns, all of them are ignorant, blind and brainwashed “fanatics”, and there are still people who have the status of “church” in the structure of their “church”. In their “church” structure, there is also a higher status than them, the real ruling class …… is called “sun heirs” guys;

Those Sun Heirs don’t often show up in the civilized world, they seem to have other hidden places that are not known to the world, and they influence the Sun God sects in the world through remote control, secretly collecting sacrifices and energy;
Finally, and most importantly for Duncan at the moment, there is one point that should be of concern:
Goathead has contempt for the cultists and the “children of the sun” who stand behind them.

This means that the Lost Country, or the “real Captain Duncan”, is not in the same camp as these so-called “heirs” …… and should even be regarded as a hostile camp.

It looks like telling the goat head about his dealings with the “Sun Cultists” during this spiritual walk was the right decision – otherwise, I don’t know how long it would take for him to learn about this useful information.

This kind of knowledge was too secretive to be written in Nina’s textbook.

Duncan left the captain’s cabin, and he walked thoughtfully along the deck of the Lost Country, holding the sun amulet.

There are many kinds of heirs, and according to the information revealed by Goathead – heirs are the remnants of ancient things, coupled with the fact that the sun believers follow the “ancient real sun” before the Great Annihilation, he had reasonable grounds to suspect that these so-called heirs were most likely the products of the Great Annihilation. He had reasonable grounds to suspect that these so-called heirs were most likely the products of the Great Annihilation, and that their birth could be traced back to the “Order Era” before the Great Annihilation.

There are “children of the sun” at sea level and “children of the deep” in the deep sea.

Duncan unknowingly walked to the side of the ship, he probed at the deep blue sea outside, slightly curious in his heart.

The sea …… is not only fish ah?
