Chapter 14 Contracts

Although the traverser really wants to 'break the four olds' in the world of the ship's mother, and sweep away all the cows, ghosts, gods and snakes. But apparently he has more important things to do.

The Deed Hall of the Governor's Mansion is a large Gothic building that looks like a Catholic church. This may have something to do with the personal beliefs of Lord Balmond. The deed hall on the side of the college is a baroque building. Similarly, the interiors of both have a deep-sea feel.

The purple-black style, the incomprehensible patterns like arcane runes, and the sci-fi machine in the middle.

"Teresa, why is this place being renovated like this?"

"It's not a decoration, it's a pattern that is naturally generated after the machine is turned on, and it is speculated that it should be to absorb energy, so we don't know much about it yet, but it can be used simply. When we have our own town guard, you will see with your own eyes how this happened. I've seen it once, and it's amazing. ”

"Shall we?"

"Yes, let's do it!"

Xu Zhonglin took Teresa's hand: "Okay, but I don't think let's make this kind of Gothic-style building, this kind of building is too time-consuming." I still think that Baroque architecture is better, first build the main body, and then slowly carve, and then I will build a Versailles Palace for you. ”

Teresa didn't refuse, but her body was still a little stiff, not as natural as Princess Sissi on the other side.

"Xu, why can't it be an oriental garden-style building? I think it's a little better, and I like it. Capreira interjected on the side, she wanted to preside over today's contract ceremony for Xu Zhonglin and them: "Okay, let's not talk about it for now, the main task now is to marry these two young ladies who can't wait." ”

Capreira stepped forward and pressed a button. Two beds popped out of the machine. Then she pressed it again, and the third bed popped out.

"This is the open button, press once to represent one contract, two to represent two, and three to the same. However, the amount of energy consumed increases exponentially. Lord Balmond is generous and willing to pay for you the extra costs, so you will have to be nice to Lilia in the future. At present, there is no case of three ship girls contracting at the same time, so you must not be reckless in the future, you know? ”

Xu Zhonglin had no choice but to nod.

"Of course, I don't mention that your secretary ship will remind you of this. Now I have to ask, do you know the meaning of a secretary ship? ”

"You know, the secretary ship lives and dies with me, and is the cornerstone of all other contracts. The secretary ship and my telepathy are not affected by any external factors. Other shipwives can defect, but the secretary ship can never be. It is my most central and trusted partner as Admiral. But I still have to say, this setting is really cruel, why do I not have to bear the consequences of the death of the secretary ship? ”

"It's good to know, this is no way, there are many interference methods in the deep sea, and when you are strong enough, you will suffer enough, such as this time, the Cape Verdean town guard was attacked, but we can't receive any information here. But what I want to say is that it is also an honor for every shipwive to be a secretary ship. Am I right, two? ”

Caprela's face was a little lonely, but Sissi and Teresa both nodded.

"Then you look here, this button next to it is used when the contract secretary ship, the difference is obvious, in the future, when you contract the ship mother alone, remember not to make a mistake, just press this. Are you ready now? ”

Xu Zhonglin looked left and right, and Sissi and Teresa looked at him calmly, turning their heads and nodding at Caprela.

"That's all lying down, soon."

After the machine was closed, it was pitch black in front of him, and the next moment there were suddenly stars in the sky, and the whole person seemed to be in the starry sky. This feeling is very strange, even though you can see it with your eyes closed, but when you open it, you are back in darkness.

Closing his eyes again, Xu Zhonglin worked hard to 'look' at the starry sky as requested. It's easy to feel that there are two stars that make the difference. It is difficult to focus on these two stars at this time, and it is necessary to concentrate at the same time. Xu Zhonglin gathered all his mind, had no distractions, and tried to establish a connection with the two stars.

Gradually, he could feel the two stars getting closer and closer, and the light emitted was getting stronger and stronger. Then, I could vaguely feel that the two stars were passing something, which was joy, recognition, and trust. There were so many emotions mixed together that he couldn't tell the difference.

Suddenly! The two stars lit up suddenly, obscuring all the other light. It crashed into his eyes in an instant. Before he had time to react otherwise, he felt a heart-piercing pain in his brain that made him want to hug his head and scream.

At this time, two voices sounded in my heart at the same time: Admiral, hold on, just hold on.

This feeling is very peculiar, there seem to be two more things in my head, but it is not repulsive, but very kind. I don't know how long it took, but he gradually became a little sober.

Admiral, are you alright?

Admiral, are you alright?

The two greetings sounded almost at the same time, there was no sound, light, shadow, or color, but Xu Zhonglin could tell that the former was Teresa and the latter was Sissi, which was a magical feeling. It's like texting, he tries to send a group message: I'm fine, what about you?

Ha ha! Admiral, what is SMS?

The word mass posting is funny.

Embarrassment! This is telepathy, it's such a red fruit, will there be any privacy in the future!

A sucker! Wouldn't it be nice to try to disconnect? Maintaining telepathy, of course, there is no privacy, it is Teresa.

Xu Zhonglin tried to break it, but his belief moved, and it was really broken. Trying to connect with those two very cordial thoughts again, and sure enough, they were instantly connected again, which made him very curious, and kept disconnecting, linking, and disconnecting again.

After a while, the three of them were automatically ejected from the machine.

"Success?" Capreira cares about him.

"Hmm!"

"Then why don't you seem to be very happy?"

"Why are you not happy? This is what I have been waiting for for a long time, and my joy has been expressed in it just now. Now I'm thinking, has anyone ever taken this machine apart? This thing looks like the legendary Pandora's box, boxy and mysterious. ”

"Of course not, someone has tried, this thing can't be disassembled, and it can't be destroyed if you want to. Alright, don't be childish, come here, I'll bring you this. ”

Caprela held an Admiral's Medal, a bronze ornament with an anchor ornament, almost twice the size of a dollar coin, worn around his neck to indicate his identity, with a photo and information on the back, which was the official Admiral's proof, as well as the silver of the Governor and the gold of the Admiral. The medal has many functions, including the ability to automatically recruit all non-admiral transport ships in the vicinity in wartime, to recruit ordinary human labor, to requisition land, vehicles and other resources, and to automatically salute when ordinary people see the medal when they walk on the street, in short, it is a symbol of privilege in this world.

Xu Zhonglin lowered his head and asked Caprera to hang the medal for him, and then she took out a revolver.

"It seems that you have grown taller again, the medal was given to you by the academy, this pistol was given to you by me, and I will help you hang it."

The gun looks very retro, the barrel is very long, the whole is very similar to a flintlock pistol, the grip handguard is carved from ivory, extending to the front of the barrel, so that the whole body exudes a soft white luster, the pattern is very complicated, the tail end has a dragon pattern, and there is a line of words on the top 'Glory is my life'. On the other side was a gift to my best student, Xu Zhonglin, the Goddess of Wisdom-class cruiser Caprela.

"Thank you, teacher, for being able to receive your teachings. I will follow your expectations. Xu Zhonglin did not refuse.

"No thanks, Admiral Xu, I'm honored to teach you."
