Ashes Of Deep Sea

Chapter 766 - 766 763 Before Setting Sail

?Chapter 766: Chapter 763: Before Setting Sail Chapter 766: Chapter 763: Before Setting Sail The sailor became a special new resident of the “Witch Mansion” — but his addition seemed to have no effect on the daily operations of the mansion.

Most of the time, the mummy remained as well-behaved as a real corpse in one spot. He did not need to eat, he did not need to sleep, and if nobody spoke to him, he could go two or three days without saying a word. He always stayed in his quiet corner as if deep in thought, finding a spot to stare blankly all day without moving.

This made the other residents almost forget that they had a new “guest.”

Only when Luny was cleaning would she make a few exchanges with the mummy—mostly brief comments like,

“Ah, could you move over a bit?” “Okay.” “Alright, move back now.” “Oh.”

Days passed like this, and on the third day, the mistress of the house finally could not bear it anymore—Lucracia found the sailor in the basement storeroom pretending to be a corpse among the piled-up miscellanea: “I heard from my father that you were not like this on the White Oak. You were bustling about every day. How come you’re so quiet here?”

Lucracia paused briefly, “It’s not—bad, actually. No, what I meant to say—”

But she was interrupted before she could finish.

“I’m building up energy for the voyage,” the sailor suddenly said, his eyes suddenly serious, “We are about to embark on a historic voyage, ma’am. Although the captain hasn’t mentioned it, you probably know his plans—so in the coming days, I need to adjust my condition. The captain told me to rest these past few days, and to recall as much as I can about the ‘Sea Song.’ I’ve been doing just that.”

“A voyage…” Lucracia’s expression subtly shifted but quickly returned to normal, “What have you recalled so far?”

“Captain Karan is a good man, the mess hall on the Sea Song is terrible, and the second shift crew is always noisy. Beyond that, it’s the fog, the endless fog,” the sailor stretched lazily, his dried and twisted joints making a series of terrifying sounds as if they were about to snap, then flopped backward, lying down in the pile of junk again, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I haven’t recalled anything about the ‘course,’ although the captain seems to have faith in me…”
