Chapter 828 Farewell

The people across the long table looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while - they didn't expect the captain to suddenly ask such a question, and they were not sure what the question meant.

After a long while, Nina seemed to react. She thought about it seriously and whispered: "Maybe... a very safe place? I can't imagine it... I think the best place is Plande before the sun went out. Of course, it would be better if it was more spacious. The city-state is really a bit crowded, especially after taking a boat out to sea. It feels even more so. It's such a wide world, but there is only so much room for people to stand..."

"Yes, there must be a wide habitable zone, which is much safer than now," Duncan smiled, and looked at Shirley sitting next to Nina, "What about you? What do you hope for in the new world?"

Shirley stuffed half a cake in her mouth and muttered vaguely: "I don't think so much, just eat and wear warm clothes ——If possible, it would be best if the water and electricity bills can be cheaper. "

"This is a request to the 'society', not to the 'world'," Duncan shook his head gently, "Think about it again?"

Shirley chewed half a cake, her eyes began to be a little empty, she seemed to think seriously for a while, and then swallowed the food in her mouth with force: "Well... I have the same idea as Nina, a safer and more spacious place, you are right, the rest still depends on the 'people'... Oh, right! Agou and I want a big house, if there is no one, give us a large piece of open space, where we can be undisturbed and let Agou run around without worry..."

Duncan smiled and nodded, his eyes fell on Morris on the side again.

"As a scholar, I know that a society made up of people will never be perfect. Even if the surrounding environment becomes safe, the human group itself will create new troubles, but this is also one of the reasons why society can change and move forward," Morris shrugged. "So instead of imagining what a 'perfect' new world looks like, I hope there will be more research opportunities and more things worth studying--"More unprecedented phenomena, more incredible places, more distant places worth going to. I hope there are real principles behind things that can be explored in depth, rather than encountering various 'black obstacles' and 'contradictions' at the end of every study. I hope that knowledge is no longer dangerous, and students don't have to worry about their lives every time they open a book. I hope that 'people' can go further, rather than being bound by unspeakable terrors and trapped forever in the place where they reproduce and thrive." Morris exhaled softly, with a smile on his face: "If possible, it would really be a good place..." "I just want to restore my sense of taste and normal sleep," the sailor who had not spoken much muttered, "I haven't slept well for centuries. "

"As for me, I want to see...what kind of place is the 'continent'?" Vanna on the side continued, with a thoughtful and reminiscent look on her face, and said slowly, "A vast and fertile land, many cities and 'countries' have thrived on the land, and people can travel between cities through more convenient transportation...I am very curious, what exactly is that like. "

"Is it possible? Such a large area?" Shirley widened her eyes in surprise, "As big as the ocean?"

Vanna glanced at Shirley with a smile: "Didn't you just hope for a more 'spacious' place? The continent is a place that is more spacious than the city-state."

Shirley pursed her lips: "I just said that...I can't imagine it..."

"Yes, we can't imagine what we haven't seen before," Agatha's shadow floated beside the dining table, her voice with a hint of emptiness, "So I have almost no idea about the new world - anyway, it must be a good place, and I just hope to continue traveling with the Lost Homeland. I have been on this ship for the shortest time, but I have seen many landscapes that I have never seen in my memory, but this journey is about to end...It's really a pity. "

"Then I also hope to be on the Lost Homeland by then!" Shirley's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sure enough, it's the most fun to run around with this ship!"

"...I want to, too," Nina also laughed, grabbing the chair and rocking her body back and forth, "It would be best if I could return to the Lost Homeland by then."

She and Shirley's eyes fell on Duncan at the same time, but after secretly taking a look, they both looked at the "sea witch" who had never spoken.

Lucretia had not spoken until now, she was still just sitting there in a daze as if she was distracted. When she noticed the gaze on her, the "witch lady" suddenly woke up.

"Does the Brilliant Star and my crew have a place in the new world?" She asked curiously, "Including Luni, Nilu, and Rabbi, and those tin servants and puppet maids I made...Does the new world still allow such existence? "

Duncan had been listening to his crew members' discussion at the dining table, listening to them imagine the new world in their imaginations, listening to their expectations for the future, and gradually seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts. When he heard Lucrecia's question, he suddenly woke up from his thoughts.

After carefully organizing his thoughts and words, he slowly said: "They will have a place - all souls have a place to stay. "

The next second, Shirley and Nina said in unison: "Will the Lost Home be here too?"

"...The Homeless Ship will also be here," Duncan hesitated and nodded seriously, "In some form...I will try my best to make everything arrive in the new world in the most appropriate way. When the time comes, you guys You can still return to the Lost Home, and I will take you on the voyage."

A happy smile slowly bloomed on Lucretia's face: "Then take my brother with you this time - even across the boundless sea and the border barrier, I can almost feel his resentment."

Duncan was quiet for a few seconds, and finally nodded solemnly: "Okay."

Upon hearing this answer, Lucretia breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and raised the wine glass in her hand.

"Then let's go to the new world," she said with a smile.

Agatha stood up and raised her glass: "To the new world!"

"To the Captain!"

"To the Lost Home!"

"To the future!"

"To...hey, I don't know what to say, I did it!"

Everyone raised glasses at the dining table. Nina had already drank a lot of wheat juice and fermented grape juice at this time, with a bright and tipsy smile on her face: "Shirley, pour some for Ai, it has no hands... Say this How come pigeons are so good at drinking, they’ve all finished drinking?”

Then she looked to the other side: "Luni will also raise a toast... Nilu will also join? Can Nilu have a drink?"

The little doll immediately hugged a wine glass that was almost as big as her head and shouted loudly: "Sister!"

By the time she finished speaking, the little one had already held the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The red wine overflowed from the joints of her neck, and her beautiful doll dress was instantly soaked.

Lu Ni suddenly let out an exclamation, and while apologizing to the hostess for her sister, she rushed up to wipe her body with a handkerchief.

Nina wanted to move closer: "Hey, it can't be wiped dry. Let me bake it for her. Don't let her move..."

Shirley instantly grabbed Nina's collar from behind: "Don't! You're getting burned again! Why is your dress with a white background and blue edges missing?"

Agou stood still in the chaos, holding the wine glass with his paws and pouring it into his neck. The wine hissed in his chest, and then evaporated in an instant. He shook his huge bone head and chanted He muttered: "This wine has no taste... I wish I could have a normal sense of taste in the new world..."

Before it finished speaking, it felt an oppressive gaze coming from the front. It immediately raised its neck and looked up, and saw the captain looking over here with a smile on his face: "Yes."

"If I had known that there would be a mess in the end, I would have brought the rabbi." Lucretia looked at the sudden chaos on the dining table and shook her head helplessly, "That rabbit likes chaos the most, and there will be no chaos if there is no chaos." To cause trouble..."

"Yes, it would be great if we brought the rabbi," Luni sighed after hearing this. At the same time, she was holding the soaked Nello with one hand, and continued to wipe the villain with a handkerchief in vain with the other hand. The wine on my body, "Rabbi is so good at absorbing water."

Lucretia sighed: "Don't always bully the rabbi just because you are not afraid of nightmares. I know you used it to clean the table last time."

Lu Ni lowered her head instantly: "Mistress, I'm sorry."

Nilu, who was carried in the air by her sister, also raised her hands happily: "I'm sorry!"

"...Forget it, stop wiping, go back and wash yourself and your clothes in the bucket."

Duncan sat across the dining table with his arms folded, looking at this familiar yet thrilling scene with a flat smile on his face.

It was like going back to the beginning, when Alice brought her proud fish soup to the table for the first time, while her head was stewed in the soup pot.

Then, it was time for them to leave.

The Lost Home and the Brilliant Star traveled slowly, but finally arrived at the small black island with a towering temple and a pilgrimage road.

The farewell has been done.

A paper-folded boat flew to the edge of the deck of the Lost Home and expanded into a shuttle boat that could accommodate everyone. Lucretia stood on the boat, while Rune held Nero in her hand and stood on her next to the hostess.

Shirley, Agou, Nina, Maurice, Vanna, Sailor, and Agatha in phantom form...

One after another, figures left the Lost Home and stood on the paper-folded boat.

Duncan stood on the deck and watched this scene silently.

Then, he saw Nina and Shirley turning around, followed by Vanna, Morris and others - they had smiles on their faces and waved to him.

Lucretia had the brightest smile on her face.

Smile every time you say goodbye, so that if you can never meet again, at least when you recall each other, the last scene in your mind will be a bright smile.

So Duncan laughed too and waved vigorously to everyone.

Then, they left.
