Chapter 18: The Troubles of the Maiden Veneto

The low, long cavern shades out the harsh light and gives the world its last shade. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe hot sea breeze that had been dry over the stone walls gradually cooled down, bringing the temperature to a comfortable level.

I have to say that this is an excellent resting place, and the white-haired and red-eyed girl looked around and confirmed this judgment in her heart again. Although it was not as spectacular as the karst plateau cave she remembered, some fragments of memory in her consciousness came back to life, nostalgic for the comfortable life in Trieste. It was already a very distant thing, and if it were calculated in the era of her arrival, more than a hundred years had passed, and perhaps that place would have ceased to exist under the world catastrophe.

Ship girls are a special kind of life, once they are summoned to appear, they have a complete and mature intelligence and a body far beyond ordinary people, and some of their memories come from the admiral who summoned them, and more are composed of incomplete memory fragments. So occasionally they will know or recall something special, and have some reactions that are unimaginable to ordinary people. For example, a famous high-speed battleship has a sense of resistance to all the bombers because it has been damaged by heavy bombers many times in its memory, and there are even cases where it has a heated argument with the aircraft carrier of the same team......

At this time, the girl recalled many things in her birthplace, and she was a little dazed for a while. She recalled the brief conversation she had had with Mr. Admiral, and looked at the Admiral's face with an apologetic look. In her memory fragments, she could only lead a small fleet to deal with the enemy without sufficient cover and companions, and later became displaced because of a lack of resources, so she regarded resources as very important, and asked the Admiral about resources as soon as she came up.

Because of this, she didn't realize that her admiral was doing something in a state of mental exhaustion, and finally hurriedly caught the unconscious boy. Obviously, there is an inseparable close spiritual link with the Admiral, and she is also clear about the Admiral's state, but she doesn't notice this incident and makes her feel very guilty......

The girl's gaze turned to the sleeping young man's face again, and stared at him for a long time, her ruby pupils glowing with a hint of thought.

She remembered that her Mr. Admiral had said things like opening the subspace before he passed out, and after thinking about it for a while, she was sure that the Admiral was talking about his own subspace. She also noticed a light blue glow behind the boy as he passed out, which was the vision of the ship's disintegration and recovery.

Based on the knowledge that the Admiral had acquired in sync with her spirit, she judged that her Admiral should be a human with the ability to carry ships, which meant that his mother must be a ship girl, so she deduced her Admiral's family background a little with divergent thinking...... The only thing that made her a little concerned was that the vast majority of those who inherited the ability of the ship were women, and her own admiral was an exception in this matter.

Veneto's eyes were softer when he looked at Aritaus, perhaps because Aritus was half of the ship's blood, half of his kind, and the strangeness and estrangement that had arisen from his first arrival here gradually disappeared.

This era is not the war-torn era of memory fragments, but it is even more terrifying than that era, and life called the deep sea is gradually pulling humanity down from the throne of Earth, bringing more complete destruction and slaughter.

Perhaps most of the admirals don't know that the shipwives named Prototype are not only more capable than the replica ships, but also have a more complete mind, and they sometimes think about something more profound when they first come to this world.

Of course, Veneto lacks such a secluded environment at the moment to think seriously, and while maintaining some of the ship's armor to monitor the surrounding waters around her all the time, her petite figure is illuminated by a flickering blue light. This is the beautiful light that she is constantly emitting from the appearance and dismantling of the ship.

This is the fastest way for a newborn ship to become familiar with her own strength, and this process only needs to consume spirit to execute. For the ship's mother, they are not born to exert their powerful power, and they are still a little fragile when they just have their own bodies. Just as God was just a child when he was born, even if the life named Ship Niang had a considerable degree of knowledge and a strong body as soon as it was born, it could not be controlled freely, and some ship girls with poor control would even encounter a little setback in their initial surface navigation, let alone control their own ship equipment for main gun salvos or other standard weapons.

Of course, as a prototype ship and a highly rare ship, Veneto, who was once the Three Musketeers of Europe, would not be bothered by such a small obstacle. It's a former fleet flagship, and if you don't have this patience, it would be too unseemly.

Veneto thought as the fragments of memory in his consciousness were turned up again. These annoying memories distracted her, and even the speed at which she constructed the ship's outfit was slowed down considerably, and the starlight dimmed to the point where she couldn't see the look on her face.

"As a prototype ship, you have to deal with this kind ......of trouble," she said with a long sigh after a while.

Because the prototype ship has appeared in this world for the first time, although it has the potential and qualifications to surpass ordinary replica ships, it will be disturbed by the fragments of memory, while replica ships do not have such problems.

The knowledge inherited from Aritus does not mention that the prototypes had to deal with the pain of the small fragments of memory, and the vague and distant scenes create a sense of time and space distortion, which is also mentally drained.

She gently wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, a little tired from dealing with the shattered memories, but she continued to train to keep herself familiar with her strength, and to cope with the terrible situation.

The azure light rose again, and the huge guns and armor of the ship were constantly being cast and disassembled. Each cycle will speed up the process by a few points, and it will also make the newborn ship girl more and more comfortable with her own power.

Strength is not something you have in a vacuum, and without continuous training and actual combat, even a very talented shipwreck can't grow much.

As time passed, Veneto had time to think about the current situation, and perhaps she herself did not notice this subtle change.

"There are four deep seas cruising in this area, although it is only the deep sea of the cruiser class, but the energy level is close to the third level...... If you face two at the same time, you will fall into a disadvantage, and if you attract three ......", Veneto made a slight tactical deduction, shook his slender eyebrows, and fell into thought.

As a battleship ship's mother, she has no problem facing cruisers two levels higher than her own level, but it is difficult to protect her admiral in this situation, and if she fights with three cruisers, she may only have the power to protect herself, and the situation will slide in an extremely critical direction.

"Only a scenario of fighting with multiple ships can be avoided...... It is best to be able to fight the time difference and clear the obstacles in this sea area at a steady speed of annihilating one...... No, just two ships are needed to break through their patrol routes. Tapping his fingers on the ground, calculating the trajectory of the deep sea according to the assistance, Veneto made a rough plan in his mind.

It's just that...... The girl stared at the peaceful sleeping face of the young man nearby, and then realized that all plans had to wait until her, Mr. Admiral, woke up before she could really start revising them. After all, protecting the Admiral's life is the most important thing for her, and the whole plan has to consider the impact of her own Admiral with the ability to carry ships on the entire tactical deduction.

The sound of Aritus' steady and powerful breathing was mixed with the sound of the wind and waves in the cavern, and the girl was sure that Aritus was asleep at this time, as if he had unloaded all his burdens and enjoyed the peace.

Everything in this world is strange to the girl, but it is familiar. She kind of understood the young man's relieved expression, but she couldn't understand that the young man could give his trust to herself so unreservedly.

Not all humans trust the ship girl.,Even among the new humans, there are a considerable number of existences that are implicitly opposed to human beings and can only rely on the power of the ship mother to survive.怂 Not to mention those old humans who live in disaster and fear, they have not yet evolved, and the vast majority of people can't recognize the current situation of this world, and their attitude towards the ship mother is almost the same as that towards the deep sea, that is, the endless horror dominated by powerful forces.

Even some admirals have a certain degree of distrust in the shipwreckage they have summoned, and it is very rare for a shipwit like Aritus to completely entrust his safety to the shipwreck who has just been summoned.

Veneto was actually more curious about how her Admiral ended up in the middle of the open sea, he alone could not have crossed countless dangerous seas to get here, and she even suspected at first that she was not the original ship of Mr. Admiral. But the spiritual link that was built as soon as she was born told her that she was indeed the first ship lady of the Admiral.

"Then that's all the speculation left...... Either the Grand Fleet was scattered here during the migration...... Either that...... Fleeing from his homeland due to the secondary impact of the deep sea......", Veneto quickly moved his speculation closer to the facts.

But no one can explain so many words and questions, only the pale blue glow behind her is still flickering, and the girl is still doing boring training all the time, and her expression has become very subtle in the faint light.

The girl turned her gaze back to the sleeping boy, curious more and more about who she was. If his admiral is migrating with many people, his identity as a newly awakened spiritual power should be protected by the focus, and he should not be left alone. But if her admiral was capable of escaping here alone, she couldn't believe it.

Maybe there's some secret hidden by the Admiral? The girl thought of this, but did not delve into it, because at this time, her first task was to help the Admiral leave this sea.
