early morning

Jiqi, who was standing next to the bed, stared blankly at the familiar long knife and the pressed note on the desk, a little sad.

It was a Welsh command knife, with a straight spine and a blade as clear as flowing water, revealing a faint cold light. He remembered that he hadn't seen the weapon since the last battle, and he thought it would be lost, but he had returned to him.

She didn't break her promise. Ji Qi remembered the girl of the deep sea who couldn't smile with an expression like ice, although she sent herself into the abyss with the ship knife in her hand, but for her, Ji Qi couldn't hold a trace of hatred. Like abandoned dolls, it gives people only heartache and pity. She was also a poor person, like an elk who didn't know where to go, stomping her feet blankly in front of the crossroads, her eyes full of confusion, whether it was about the past or the future.

Jiqi exhaled, expelled the superfluous thoughts in his mind, picked up the note that was pressed on the table, and read it carefully.

"Admiral, this is a note I left last night, don't ask me how I got in, (As your wedding ship, I have the keys to all the rooms of the town guard's house, including yours.) The command knife was also left to you by me, and I didn't want to keep it, but I know that if you want to do something, you will definitely do it, like a red-eyed bull that can only charge, unless you want to. Otherwise, no one will be able to stop you, and neither will I. As a ship's mother, the first task is to protect the safety of the Admiral, even if he is a madman who does not want to die. That's right, it's about you, a madman, who doesn't care about yourself at all, and makes me worry. ”

At this point, the ink was a little blurry, and the note was a little crumpled, as if it had been soaked in dripping water and dried. But Jiqi knew that it was not water, but Welsh tears, which made the white paper a little yellow, so hot that people did not dare to touch it.

He sighed and read on.

"I accidentally spilled the water just now, and there were some stains on the note, but it doesn't affect your stupid reading. Well, I won't say anything more, and the note will be almost out of writing. This knife is for you, just to let you know, don't be reckless when fighting, think more about me, think more about the owner of this knife, if you are gone, what will happen to her, I think, she maybe, no, is certain...... It's going to be sad, it's sad, it's going to be sad. ”

The end is a separate heavy sentence, but it is heart-to-heart.

Ji Qi rubbed the folded note, and the corners were smudged ink, blurred and illegible.

However, Jiqi can clearly feel that every distorted character on it will make the fragile girl feel uneasy, and even difficult to write. She knew that she couldn't stop what she was going to do, and she wasn't qualified to stop it, the only thing she could do as a ship girl was to support the Admiral's choice, even if that road led to no return, she would go on without hesitation. So for the sake of the Admiral's safety, she once again handed over the weapon in her hand to herself, hoping to be able to provide more security, even if she had broken her promise and did not come back alive, but she still chose to believe it again, believing in this young man who had lied to herself.

Jiqi's eye sockets were a little red, like an uncontrollable tide, moistening his eyes.

Every crooked word on the note exposes the girl's tangled heart. She didn't want to put herself on the battlefield, she didn't want to put herself in danger, she didn't want to taste the pain of loss again. But just like the wife who sent the army, the only thing she could do was to smile and watch her husband embark on the journey carefully.

And when his figure disappears into the distance, tears will be like a flood that bursts the embankment, instantly filling his eyes, so thick that he soaks the chest of his clothes. She will not be like a little girl, saying to herself, she cried, she is sad, and she will not show her weak side like a delicate girl. As it was written, she didn't cry, it wasn't tears, it was just water from the cup, and she was the cup, filled with salty water, so much that it overflowed the rim.

Jiqi trembled and picked up the familiar knife, which he felt heavy, as if there was one more person worried.

table

"Commander, you want to go to sea with us?" Saratoga's mouth was wide open, and there were still underchewed remnants of the burger.

"Well, you just came to the town guard mansion, and I don't know yet, I will be with you every time you go on an expedition." Jiqi drank the meat porridge in the bowl, looking satisfied.

He had wanted to go to the kitchen to make breakfast for the ship's girls, but as soon as he walked into the dining room, he smelled a hot aroma, and Lexington, wearing an apron, walked out with a spoon in his hand, and several bowls of steaming porridge on his plate.

Sure enough, she deserves to be the most perfect ship girl, in the ship girl's album, the first place in the overall ranking is Lexington, although the rarity is only four stars, but after transformation, there are only some powerful firepower that is not inferior to the six-star battleship, and most importantly, she is also proficient in cooking, and her emotional intelligence is ridiculously high, and she is unanimously considered by the admirals to be the most suitable ship for the wedding ship.

"But the Admiral's going to sea is not a joke, and in the face of thousands of Deadpools, you have no chance to fight back." Lexington began to worry about Jiji's safety, but she did not directly say such direct and realistic hurtful words as "you can't do it". She tactfully expressed her wishes.

"That's it, don't pull me if you want to die." Noah's Ark was not happy, she would also die as soon as the Admiral died, and finally found a stable town guard mansion and lived a comfortable life, she didn't want to burp at home, and she didn't even have a choice.

"That's it, I've never seen a commander from the town guard mansion go to sea with the ship's mother." Saratoga also chimed in, "Sister Wales, you say yes." ”

The clever Saratoga was ready to draw the Prince of Wales into their opposition in order to change the Admiral's stupid idea, after all, she was the oldest of the Governors' wives. When she spoke, the Admiral would listen to her more or less.

Wales, however, did not side with them, as Saratoga had expected, and supported the Admiral's decision.

"If you want to go, go as long as you want, after all, with the protection of me and your sisters, it is almost impossible to be in danger, and the Admiral has a talent bonus with us, we will solve the battle faster, which greatly reduces the possibility of accidents." She analyzes rationally.

"If you don't say it, I forgot that there is even a talent bonus of the Admiral." Saratoga suddenly realized. After all, it has become an unclear rule that the Admiral does not go to the battlefield, and few ship girls can enjoy the bonus BUFF.

"How much more can the Admiral increase our strength?" Lexington asks the crucial question that the amount of bonus can determine the outcome of a campaign, which is very important in the ever-changing battlefield.

"Fifty percent." Ji Qi pondered for a while, stretched out his palm and counted them. The last time he played with Wales, he was only able to provide a bonus of three and a half percent. But after experiencing that death and killing Deadpool with his own hands, the percentage of bonuses began to skyrocket, rising to a terrifying 50% huge increase, which is jaw-dropping to think about.

"So tall?" Saratoga was a little incredulous, and even though she spent almost every day playing, she knew the answers to the technical questions. Generally speaking, most Admirals only have a five-percent, or half-percent, bonus, which is better than nothing. Some good Admirals only have an increase of 10 to 20 percent, and at most they do not exceed the threshold of 30 percent. But the Admiral's mouth is half of it, it can't be a lie, right?

Wales also saw the suspicion in Saratoga's eyes, and she whispered, "The Admiral is not lying, he is the Admiral who graduated with perfect marks in all subjects, as if there are only two in the past few decades who have graduated with perfect marks, and the Admiral is one of them." And the first time I went to sea with the Admiral, he had already done a frightening thirty-five percent of my accomplishments, and I could clearly feel that. ”

"Thirty-five percent last time, half this time. Will your talent bonuses increase? Lexington asked curiously, even if the bonus is high, it can still grow, which is too scary.

"It's true that my talent increases with the number of expeditions I go out and the number of deep sea kills." Jiqi did not hide his own secrets, and as an admiral, he had the obligation to tell the shipwrewn who was fighting side by side with him all the situation. "And this bonus can be used on myself."

"For yourself? Do you mean that as long as you go on enough expeditions, you can take on the deep-sea flagship alone? "Noah's Ark made a bold conjecture.

"How is it possible, there must be an upper limit to such a talent growth." Saratoga vetoed.

"No, it's possible." Jiqi shook his head confidently and said, "There is no upper limit to my talent, as long as I go out enough times, even if it is just me, I can single-handedly take on the thousands of troops in the deep sea." That's why I was named No.1. ”

Jiqi's eyes flashed with confidence, like a fearless peerless general, riding the legendary dragon horse, pulling the reins of the horse on the left, holding a sharp and invincible spear on the right, alone in the enemy formation, seven in and seven out, single-handedly ten thousand people but unharmed, showing the invincible posture of the gods.

"So, you don't need to worry too much about my safety. After all, I can still single-handedly pick up Deadpool, as long as there aren't too many of them. Coupled with you by my side, there is no need to be afraid. Jiqi said his opinion with a smile on his face.

An excellent admiral is to dispel the concerns of the ship's mother, and only those who have no worries can be fearless of life and death, and use the sword in their hands to open up their own path.

The shipwives saw that the Admiral had already decided, and no one spoke against it. With such an admiral with infinite possibilities, not allowing him to use his potential to the extreme is simply a violent thing. As for the danger? I'll let it know what the end times are! Wales and Lexington looked at each other and smiled, and they both saw the anger burning in each other's eyes, as if they were destroying the world and unstoppable!
