Chapter 672 - 672 669 The Captain and the Marionette

?Chapter 672: Chapter 669: The Captain and the Marionette Chapter 672: Chapter 669: The Captain and the Marionette Returning to the familiar reality, returning to the familiar Homeloss, listening to the nagging of the goat head—Duncan felt his heart gradually find its footing once again, and the fatigue and cluttered thoughts that the “roar” from subspace had brought upon him calmed down quite a bit.

He let out a soft breath and walked towards the navigation desk, while the goat head seemed not to have noticed the fleeting fatigue on his captain’s face—it had apparently enjoyed a long and enthusiastic monologue over the past period and was now excitedly boasting to Duncan, “Captain! Your loyal subordinate has made tremendous progress. I’ve had a great chat with this head. Just now, we talked about the delicacies from the Endless Sea to poetry, and from poetry…”

Duncan looked down and glanced at the chattering first mate: “Did it respond to you?”

The goat head was taken aback, somewhat less confidently: “Well, not yet… temporarily.”

But it quickly regained its confidence: “However, I feel like I’m close to success. Such heartfelt communication should even make stones speak up. I think this head will soon be moved by my sincere words. Maybe it’s about to greet you…”

“Save it,” Duncan finally interrupted the goat head’s rambling with resignation, “that head won’t respond to you—most of it is in subspace.”

The goat head let out a “crunch,” as if a string of words had suddenly jammed in its throat, making a “brake sound.” It was stunned for two seconds, finally realizing: “You’re talking about subspace?”

“Didn’t you notice?” Duncan raised his hand and pointed to the captain’s quarters’ door, “I was resting in the bedroom, yet I came back through the captain’s office door—it seems like while you were ‘sharing your hearts’ with your other head, I had already been to subspace and back.”

The goat head’s head wobbled, beginning to tremble.

“Stop shaking, as you can see, nothing happened,” Duncan said offhandedly as he sat down by the navigation desk, his eyes falling on another pitch-black “goat head,” “The Skull of Dreams isn’t responding to you because its main body resides in subspace. I’ve had… limited communication with it there. As far as I could tell, it lacks a complete mind and memory just like you presumed.”

Finally catching on, the goat head had not imagined that in the short time the captain had “rested” in his room, he had once again ventured into subspace. The news Duncan brought back from “over there” was so astonishing; the first mate swiveled its neck towards the other head on the table and, after a long while, finally blurted out: “Then… what else did it say to you?”

No sooner had it spoken than it seemed to regret it, quickly adding, “Ah, if it’s some kind of ‘knowledge’ that’s unsafe, then never mind, my curiosity isn’t that…”
