Chapter 6: Farewell

Port Viglia Mill in a few days

The Limon, scheduled for Cristobal, is quietly docked in a commercial berth. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This is one of the few passenger ships that can go to the most prosperous Caribbean Sea in the New Human Federation, and there are not too many people in the waiting area in front of this ship.

Not everyone can afford to take a high ticket to the true heart of humanity on this ship. Most human beings stay in their birthplace, and there are very few people who are willing to take the initiative to stay away from their homeland.

Because on the way to other islands, it is inevitable to encounter the harassment of the deep sea. And without the protection of the shipwives, the small boat they are on will undoubtedly be sunk by the deep sea on the turquoise sea.

Only this kind of high-end steamer, which employs the shipwrewn of the town guard or other places, can reach the place where it needs to go safely and unharmed. The high cost of relocation and uncertain future benefits have made people in the overseas islands reluctant to leave, so the passenger transport industry here is not well developed.

The young man in the blue and white shirt was standing in the shadow formed by the silhouette of the ship, looking at the two people who seemed to be sisters not far away, one big and one small, with a slightly complicated expression on his face.

A few days ago, with the help of using a large amount of high-purity water at any cost, the girl who was originally in a fainting gradually woke up. After all, Aritus only needs to consume spiritual power to make high-purity water, otherwise if he is replaced by other admirals, it is estimated that he will be reluctant to consume dozens of liters of pure water like this.

After Alitus fulfilled his responsibilities under the contract, the Independent, who rushed over, was also very happy about this, but she said that she needed some preparation to awaken Anne, so she took her away.

The girl, who had signed a spiritual pact with Aritaus and was named Anne, was now making her final goodbyes to her mother.

After all, the Independence is a ship's mother belonging to the Cologne Town Guard, and she is not allowed to leave the Town Guard Mansion without special circumstances. So limited, she can only send her daughter to other places.

Although such a fate had been set after she made that choice, she was still very uncomfortable in the bottom of her heart to suddenly be separated from the child she had had given birth to for many years.

But she wasn't an indecisive person either, and after a little more to be aware of, she let out a long sigh and turned away from the girl standing in front of her. Based on her experience over the years, she naturally knows that there are some things that this child will not know if she does not take the initiative to bring them up.

"Take care of Annie, my darling", Independence turned and strode towards the area where the town guard was located, and from her slightly trembling back, it seemed that she could feel some of the lady's thoughts.

The girl with the golden ponytail did not expect her mother to leave so resolutely. She wanted to call her name again, but she couldn't.

After a long time, looking at her mother, who was gradually disappearing, she finally realized that her life was going on a different path.

As an old human, she had to endure the pain of the radiation reaction, but it also saved her from facing the dangers of the deep sea. And after inheriting her mother's ship mother bloodline and officially awakening to become a ship girl, she also had to take on the responsibilities brought by this power.

In the human world, as long as the children who awaken their spiritual power are forced to be educated by the commander. Even if they don't necessarily become Admirals, they will be assigned to a special sequence to serve as a reserve to prevent emergencies.

And people who have the bloodline of the ship girl and the ability to successfully awaken will also get a special number, which will be counted in the ship girl number sequence. At this time, her ship's number had been added to the Admiral's identity certificate.

According to her mother's contract with Aris, she was required to join Aris' fleet for at least one year after her healing was complete and her abilities were awakened.

And not long ago, she had signed a spiritual pact with Mr. Admiral, who didn't seem much older than herself. Proof of this fact is the spiritual connection she has built with the Admiral at this time.

"Annie?" , The young man's voice was passed along with the spiritual thoughts, and it seemed to have a slight sense of inquiry.

"Mr. Admiral...... I'll come over ...... now", the girl's voice came into the heart of the waiting Aritus, who glanced slightly at the girl who was running in the distance.

He was actually a little envious of this child, although he didn't know why her father didn't appear, but she still had relatives to rely on.

The boy's expression was very blurry in the shadow of the passenger ship, and Veneto was slightly aware of what the boy was thinking at this time, but he did not bother.

The white-haired girl turned her gaze to the girl with blonde hair and a single ponytail in the distance, her face was a little more illusory than before, and the whole body shape had also been adjusted considerably.

Alitus also saw what happened to Anne, focusing on his face and shape, and only then did he realize the subtle difference between his appearance and his previous appearance.

The bloodline of the Awakened Ship Niang is not only the release of the original latent ability, but also the deeper genetic changes. Otherwise, Anne of the awakened ship suit will not be immune to a considerable degree of radiation now, all because of the re-manifestation of the hidden ship girl's genes.

The girl ran in the distance, the bound single ponytail swaying as she ran. The long hair, which was originally pale gold and slightly curly, is now a little more brilliant and more dazzling. The girl's original body has also changed slightly due to awakening, and the original posture of being twelve or thirteen years old and just beginning to develop has also developed in a more mature direction.

Of course, the white-haired girl who was standing somewhere waiting at this time wouldn't mind this kind of thing, Eh......

It didn't take long for the girl to run to the waiting area, looked at the boy and girl who were hiding from the scorching sun, and greeted softly: "Mr. Admiral, Sister Veneto, isn't it time to set sail yet?" ”

Her words couldn't help but draw Arietes' attention to Veneto's figure...... Well, he always felt that without unfolding the ship's outfit, there was not much difference in the appearance and age of the two now...... Even if they all know that they are ship mothers, they will think that they are all light cruiser mothers or destroyer ship mothers, right?

Alitus thought a little, and couldn't help but smile a little more.

"I always feel that the Admiral is thinking of something bad......", his keen perception seemed to detect some malice from a nearby source, Veneto said with a slight brow.

"There's still some time, but no one has been coming since a few minutes ago, so let's get ready to get on board." The boy looked at the time a little and realized that there was still a long time before the official sailing, but in order to avoid some trouble, it was better to get on the ship early.

The boarding bridge they walked on was made of pure alloy steel frames, without the windshield seen in previous lives, and the skeleton was painted with gradient colors to conceal its presence.

The port of Vigliamir is a very important military point and an important overseas node for mankind, and many of its designs are designed to prevent and reduce deep-sea detection.

Through the electronic authentication system at the end of the boarding bridge, all three people have experienced their identities. In this era, the monitoring and authentication of identity in human society is much more cumbersome than in previous lives. Not only do you need to leave your appearance, as well as various identification documents and handwriting, but you also need to leave blood stains and DNA samples.

Of course, Aritus has the identity documents left by his father, and now he only needs to report to the local town guard and verify his mental power, and then go through a special test to change his identity certificate to a special admiral's identity certificate.

Now his electronic ID card is only marked by the identity of the prospective admiral. Even if he has awakened his spiritual power and summoned his own ship girl, but in the system regulations formulated by human society, he still has the same identity as a reserve admiral like those who only awaken their spiritual power and do not summon their own ship mother. Only after a long period of study at the Naval Academy, and after perfecting and forming their own First Fleet (full six), after obtaining graduation permission and completing certain tasks, will they be promoted and become official admirals.

The reason why the official admiral is called the official admiral is because his combat effectiveness has been tested and he has a certain amount of actual combat experience.

Of course, Aritus, who struggled to return to the normal human world from the outer realms all over the deep sea with Veneto, actually had a little experience. After all, most of the people who were also reserve commanders at this time might not even have seen the deep sea, let alone fought head-on with the deep sea.

In addition to spending mental energy to make water to treat and alleviate Anne's condition in the past few days, Arrites was also busy applying for his special identity certificate for the admiral, and also applied for an identity certificate for Veneto, which took two or three days to completely complete in the town guard's mansion.

This is also due to the fact that the social system built by the new humans is efficient enough, otherwise it may not be possible to do it when Anne wakes up.

The trio waited for scanners and processors to confirm their identities and pay for the tickets before walking up the deck of the liner at the end of the boarding stairs.

This passenger ship was different from the one that Arites had taken before, not only did it look quite neat, it looked like it had just been launched. There was also the hull covered with a layer of armor, and even the sharp-eyed Aritus could see several hidden weapons systems on the ship.

Of course, the most conspicuous thing is the four obvious radiation reactions on the ship, and you don't need to release your spiritual power too deliberately, you can feel the four reactions in the front and middle of the hull. It seems that they are the four shipwives escorting this passenger ship.

You must know that the ship with hundreds of people before was only escorted by two ship mothers. In contrast, this passenger ship has obviously done a lot of work in terms of safety, and the high ticket cost alone is not a waste. After all, when sailing in the oceans of this world, what is most lacking is a sense of security.

There were also some receptionists on deck, and after revealing their ticket numbers, a young waitress led the three to the cabin at the back of the boat.

The environment here is far better than the previous ship that carried the old humans, the neat cabins, the open and empty corridors, and the interior of the cabins are obviously carefully arranged. Aritaus looked at some of the information on the light screen in the living room, and probably knew something to pay attention to.

The ticket they buy naturally includes the cost of food, but the ticket is naturally only the most basic meal, and if you want to add more dishes and drinks, you need to add some extra price. And to take this passenger ship to Cristobal, it will take about seven ports to dock and sail for about three days.

That's not a long time. In fact, according to the duties that the reserve admiral needs to perform, he only needs to go to a nearby or registered naval academy within a month.

There was still a long time before this deadline, but Arrites didn't seem to be delaying too much, after all, he did know that he was still very new to the profession of admiral. It was also a good thing to go to the school to report earlier, not to mention that it was the first time he came to the continent to which the New Human Federation belonged, so he naturally wanted to know a little more.

After adding some paid services, the teenager stopped looking at the light screen. Turning his head slightly, he already realized that the two girls beside him had already chosen their own beds, leaving only the outermost bed for themselves.

"So this position is reserved for me, huh?" The boy sighed and placed his luggage in the corner. He had already transferred all the ordinary daily necessities to the suitcase he carried, only those resources and some special things. For example, the closed test tube, whose purpose is still unknown, is lying quietly in his subspace.

Arites no longer thinks about some of the problems raised by this fragment. Ever since Veneto suddenly fell asleep and woke up again that day, Aritus has been secretly watching Veneto's state, but he hasn't noticed too much abnormality.

He was a little relieved by this, at least for a short time, but it also led to a renewed speculation about the origin of the fragments.

After being able to connect to the Internet, Aritus also conducted a wide search according to its characteristics, but found no results.

This result made him wonder why this was the case. Human beings have done a lot of research and investigation in this era full of radiation and mutation, and after many years of accumulation, there should be no special and rare substances that have not been discovered.

The first fragment he came into contact with was a relic from his father. The second piece is from the secret mechanism of the ruins of the town guard. Both pieces are so well preserved that they would not have been possible to be found without a careful search. This also proves from the side that their former owners knew that it was a very valuable thing, but Aritus could not find any trace of such a valuable item.

Such a corollary can only lead to one consequence, that such fragments are extremely important and cannot be asserted, and perhaps their true origin can only be discovered after becoming a formal admiral or even a higher rank, stepping into the upper echelons of human society.

At this point, Arrites gave up the idea of continuing to speculate. In any case, this is what his father left behind, and he will not be easily exposed to others.
