193 Untie the knot
Because these three boxes found in the mezzanine of the large cabinet seemed to be too important, Hugo and the others first kept these boxes in the ship's installation space in St. George, preparing to wait for everyone to deal with everything. .
Because there was only the last bit of the book left, except for a few ship girls who continued to scan the contents of these books, most of the ship girls began to come to the shelves and clean up the various supplies on the shelves.
For ship girls, it is obviously not that difficult to transport and take away these things. Because they can completely use the ship's installation space to stuff these things in.
It was during the cleaning process that Hugo and the others discovered that the things they thought were floor tiles they saw on the ground were not bricks or stones, but metal ingots laid out in several layers.
According to statistics, these metal ingots are mainly high-grade magic metals that are difficult to buy on the market, such as fine gold and mithril. But the largest amount is an artificial metal: fairy silver.
"Where did this fairy silver come from?" the Cossack asked as he grabbed the metal block from the floor and stuffed it into his ship's installation space.
"Don't you mean that the goblins are very careful about this kind of thing and basically don't sell it to outsiders?"
"I don't know, there is no record of this here at all," said Zhan Xian, who had been responsible for checking the surrounding situation. "But considering that Grindelwald swept Europe back then, it's not surprising that he was able to obtain this wealth."
During such chats, the various treasures in the treasure house were classified, marked, counted, and then loaded into their respective ship installation spaces at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Since the ship girls are all very agile, everyone quickly sorted out all the treasures in the treasure house.
While several ship girls were conducting the final inspection and processing of the three golden boxes, Hugo consulted the company through the admiral network about the issues he had been holding back.
"There is an issue that may involve privacy..." Hugo carefully felt the company's emotions through the admiral network while organizing his words.
"Of course, I authorize you on this issue. If you don't want to answer this question, you can choose not to answer it. This does not violate the contract between the admiral and the ship girl——"
"Okay, my dear Admiral." Looking at Hugo's appearance, Enterprise smiled helplessly. "I can tell you don't mean any harm, so I won't be offended no matter what questions you ask."
"Okay - I am actually this time. I want to ask you how you really feel about me?" Knowing that the ship girl would not lie in front of his admiral, Hugo asked the question directly after getting the answer.
"You know, in my impression, the admiral and the ship girl are very close. But from the first ship girl Shengli and I first met to now, I have come into contact with many ship girls. But you give me a feeling of--"
At this point, Hugo became angry, because even though he knew that the company would not be angry, he didn't know how to express the next words in more appropriate language.
"You want to say why we are not as close to you as you thought, right?" Because of the Admiral's network connection and Hugo's expression, the company quickly understood what Hugo wanted to say.
"Please rest assured, dear Admiral, our love and loyalty to you are unwavering, and there is no need for you to question or worry about this."
"And since you came to this world, we have felt your heart and can confirm that you are the admiral who best meets our requirements."
"As for why we seem a little cold to you, and the reason why we usually communicate in a business-like manner is also very simple." At this point, the company smiled at Hugo.
"Because you're not ready for something right now."
"Prepare, what do you mean?" After hearing what the company said, Hugo felt even more confused. "Are your emotions still connected to my body?"
"There is no mandatory contact, but there are some things that we have to think more about." At this point, the company paused. "I think you haven't seen our true side."
"The real side?" Hugo felt even more confused. "Are you referring to the state of warships similar to those in Belfast on the Thames?"
"Of course not." Enterprise smiled and shook his head, then said after thinking for a few seconds.
"Actually, as ship girls, we are obviously different from ordinary people just in appearance, so we have not revealed our formal appearance since we came to this world."
"In addition, we have also restrained our aura and fine-tuned our body structure. Because we usually have to imitate ordinary people as much as possible to avoid attracting unnecessary attention."
"Then what do you really look like?" Hugo asked a little eagerly. He really couldn't understand why the ship girls had to hide their faces in front of him.
"Well - that's it." Enterprise used the admiral network to communicate with other ship girls for a few words, then took Hugo to a corner and said, then closed his eyes.
In an instant, the entire body of the enterprise emitted a not dazzling but very bright white light. After the white light dissipated, the company still maintained its original posture and fought there.
At first glance, Hugo didn't see any difference between the company and the previous one, but soon he discovered that the current company was obviously more beautiful than the previous one.
If the original company was just a beautiful girl, the beauty of the current company far exceeds the limit of human beings. With just a few minor adjustments to her body, her appearance went up a notch.
More importantly, her unique temperament was also fully displayed at this time, making her feel more like an angel or elf than a human being.
"This is -" Hugo felt his heartbeat speed up suddenly and his face began to heat up. "As we said, we are not flesh and blood creatures, but elves born from human fantasy."
Seeing Hugo adjusting himself by taking a deep breath, Enterprise's eyes flashed with approval.
"We were born with the most perfect imagination in human consciousness, so we naturally have an appearance that exceeds that of humans." The company shrugged and continued. "You should be controlling some of your thoughts now."
"Yes -" Hugo grinned with an embarrassed smile. He felt that he did not need to hide this from the ship girl.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. To be honest, I would only be worried if you didn't have this idea." The company said with an aunty smile.
"Think about it, my dear Admiral. You now have the heart of an adult and the body of a child, so in this case we not only have to hide our true image in normal times, but also keep as much distance from you as possible. Otherwise it will definitely have a bad impact on your development."
"Of course, if your body is strengthened to a certain extent, these preparations will naturally be unnecessary. So Admiral, you must work hard and become the Ancient God Admiral as soon as possible."
