Chapter 652 – The Little Sun and the Little Sun

Chapter 652 – Little Sun and Little Sun

Even though he had already seen the “shrunken” moon, Duncan still found it hard to believe after seeing and touching this tiny ancient star with his own hands.

It was in his hand, glowing warmly, and the flames on its surface swept harmlessly over his fingers, with only a very slight sensation, as if a feather had brushed against his skin.

But Duncan knew that somewhere in the long past, this little ball of radiant light had once lit up the skies of the Sanguine and sheltered a civilization.

“The followers of the …… Black Sun want this thing, and for that reason one of the ‘sons’ even risked his life, so what exactly do you think they want to do with this ‘Sun ‘ for what?” Goathead asked with some curiosity as his eyes reflected the sunlight emanating from Duncan’s hand.

“Whether it’s the Sunchildren, or those solar remnants known as ‘Remnants’, their only goal is always to ‘resurrect’ their ‘Mother “Duncan carefully turned the “mini star” in his hand and said without looking up, “This seemingly insignificant ball carries ‘information’ from before the Great Annihilation,” he said. This seemingly insignificant ball carries ‘information’ from before the Great Annihilation, and for a black sun in a bad state …… it could be some kind of ‘key material’ for self-repair.”

He paused here for a moment, then slowly voiced some ideas he had been gradually forming in his mind since just now-

“In that golden crystal, I saw the homeworld where they once survived, they possessed a huge technological entity built around a star, and their entire civilization survived on the foundation of that technological entity, when the Great Annihilation occurred, this huge structure must have also suffered from the ‘contamination’ of other worlds ‘, thus distorting and mutating into its present posture ……

“I have a wild guess that the so-called ‘Black Sun’ may have been a ‘hybrid’ of some kind – an entire civilization built around the star with their stars ‘collapsed’ together and aberrated into its present form, and this ‘mixing’…… has resulted in a Black Sun that is far more disorganized and chaotic than other ancient existences, and also has more ‘deficiencies’.”

He raised his hand, shaking the Ancient Star in his hand.

“Those Sun Children may think that another Ancient Star can help them repair the Black Sun’s ‘deficiencies’, I don’t understand the principle in between, but there is one thing that’s beyond doubt – if they do succeed, something big is going to happen! up.”

“…… Thankfully they failed.” Goathead said heartily.

Duncan nodded, then looked thoughtfully at the ancient star in his hand.

And just then, a sudden sound of footsteps came from outside the captain’s cabin, followed by a knock on the door, and Nina’s voice rang out through the door, “Uncle Duncan! Are you in there?”

Duncan raised his eyebrows and immediately responded, “Come in.”

The door to the captain’s room opened, and Nina peeked inside before smilingly burrowing in, “Dinner’s ready! I’ve come to call you to dinner!”

Duncan looked at Nina with a bright smile on her face, but his heart suddenly moved.

“You’re just in time,” he beckoned to the girl, “Come and look at this.”

Nina immediately obediently walked over, and the first thing she noticed was the “little sun” in Duncan’s hand, her eyes widened as she looked at this beautiful glowing ball, and she quickly reacted, “Isn’t this the ‘sun’ that Ms. Vanna brought out from the desert? ‘?”

“Take it,” Duncan said as he casually handed Nina the ‘little sun’, “How does it feel?”

Nina took the ball, which was almost as big as her fist, and put it in front of her eyes, looked around, and then carefully “felt” it, and looked at Duncan with confusion: “There’s nothing to ‘feel’ ah! …… It just feels hot.”

“Only that?” Duncan frowned, subconsciously thinking that he should let Nina do some more tests to be good, and in such a moment of distraction, a clear “click” sound suddenly entered his ears.

He raised his head in dismay, and saw that Nina was also looking at this side with a blank expression, a tiny wisp of flame and a little bit of debris was falling from the corner of her mouth, and the surface of the “Ancient Star” in her hand was already missing a small piece, and obvious teeth marks could be seen on the edge of the missing piece.

Duncan: “……?!”

“I …… I didn’t hold back!” Nina finally reacted as an afterthought, almost jumping in place as she waved her hands back and forth, “I just looked at this thing and it was the right size, and …… then …… anyway, I subconsciously bit it… …”

“You don’t wiggle first.” Duncan hurriedly opened his mouth to interrupt Nina’s somewhat flustered movements, and got up and grabbed the small sun in the other party’s hands – he was worried that the bite that Nina gnawed down would destabilize this “star”, although he didn’t know how powerful a star compressed into such a size would be after it went out of control. Although he didn’t know how powerful a star compressed to such a size would be when it went out of control, it was obviously an extremely dangerous thing to do.

But nothing happened.

The star that had taken a bite out of it neither collapsed nor exploded, and still emitted a gentle, harmless heat.

And when Duncan looked at its surface again, he realized that the small gap had disappeared.

Nina also curiously came over, blinking her eyes at the “small sun” that had already become a complete sphere again, and only after half a day did she utter a sentence: “Grown up?”

Duncan looked at the “Little Sun” in his hand with strange eyes, and then looked up at the “Little Sun” on the Lost Country, even though he was used to seeing all kinds of strange and weird anomalies and phenomena, he suddenly felt that his brain seemed to be a bit insufficient.

After many outrageous and bizarre thoughts came to his mind, he handed the mini “star” to Nina: “…… You take another bite.”

Nina obediently took the “small sun”, put it on the edge of the mouth and gnawed a bit, clicked a bite down, and chewed the crunching sound.

Honestly Duncan even a little listening to the gluttony ……

The next second, the “little sun” in Duncan and Nina’s eyes once again restored as before. Nina raised her head to look at Duncan, and then looked at the hand of the “small sun”, a face of confusion: “…… Why ah?”

Duncan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead vigorously – how would he know?

“I don’t think the most brilliant scholar in the world could answer your question,” Duncan said while rubbing his head, and then looked at the sparks that erupted from the corners of Nina’s mouth with a strange look in his eyes, and finally couldn’t help but open his mouth after holding his tongue, “… . was it good?”

“Crunchy,” Nina said honestly, “It feels good, but I don’t know what it tastes like.”

“…… Still want to eat it?”

Nina’s eyes instantly lit up (really brightly, the captain’s room lit up), “May I?!”

Duncan: “……”

Silence fell over the captain’s cabin for a moment as Duncan did his best to try and explain what was going on with all his life’s learning and all his imagination, while Nina curiously grabbed the “little sun” and looked it over and over as if looking for the next place to put her mouth.

After some time, Duncan decided to give up trying to understand.

“You don’t feel much discomfort yourself, do you?” He shook his head, suddenly worried about Nina’s health after devouring the star.

“No, it’s hot and comfortable to eat,” Nina said, shaking her head, “Uncle Duncan, can I have another bite?”

“…… I suggest you don’t try it again at least within today,” Duncan said thoughtfully, his tone serious but his expression somewhat strained, “If you still feel nothing physically uncomfortable tomorrow …… you are at liberty to do so.”

At this he paused, and added, “Originally I meant to give it to you for safekeeping.”

He wasn’t lying when he said this, before Nina came in just now, he was considering the placement of this “Little Sun”, and for obvious reasons, handing it over to Nina for safekeeping seemed to be a logical thing to do – first of all, the two are essentially connected, with Nina keeping the “Little Sun” in her custody. First of all, there is an essential connection between the two, Nina custodian of the “small sun” may be able to discover more secrets of the latter, and secondly, from the point of view of security, a slap of 6,000 ℃ Nina also has enough ability to ensure that no one can snatch this “star”.

But the big niece think this “small sun” taste good that belongs to the accidental situation ……

Nina did not think too much, after hearing Duncan’s arrangement she was immediately happy, vigorously nodded: “Uh-huh!”

The look was like a puppy getting a bone that it had been longing for.

Looking at the smiling Nina, Duncan’s heart finally could not help but raise another strand of worry –

Is it really okay to hand her ……?
Although now it seems that this “little sun” will immediately recover after being chewed, but I do not know if there is an upper limit to this kind of recovery, handing it over to Nina for “safekeeping”…… if she will Will she eat all of this stuff one day ……

“Uncle Duncan?”

The call from beside him woke Duncan up from being lost in thought, he hurriedly threw away the strange thoughts in his mind and turned his head to face Nina’s sunny face.

“Going to dinner?” Nina asked with a bright smile.

“……”

Duncan didn’t have the heart to ask for that “little sun” back in the end.

And at the same time, the huge Academy Ark had sailed near the coast of Lightwind Harbor.

In the lounge on the upper level of the ark, Lune was sitting on a chair and resting his eyes.

Judging from the situation of the elves that remained on the ark, the effects of the Dream of the Nameless One on the real world had indeed completely subsided, and even those elves that had once completely disappeared had now returned to the real world.

After the pressure was steeply removed, exhaustion crept in, Lune had rested for a long time after returning to the ark, and only now did he feel his energy was slightly restored.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at his hands, at the wrinkled skin that was no longer vibrant.

“Age is indeed getting old.”

He grunted a sigh of relief before rising from his chair and striding over to the lab bench not far away.

“…… Time to catch up with a few old friends.”
