Chapter 322: The Hope of Taking Off the Armor, How Can the Eggs Remain Intact when the Nest Is Overturned?
"……ah?"
After hearing what Jane said, Xia En's first reaction was to be stunned.
How could he have imagined that Jane's request was to become a crew member on his ship!
No wonder Jane said before that the difficulty of this request mainly lies in her making up her mind.
Jane smiled slightly and said, "What, Captain Shane doesn't welcome me?"
"Welcome? Why not?"
Xia En said quickly: "I'm just a little surprised."
For the [Black Swan], having a scholar as knowledgeable as Jane is definitely a good thing with no harm at all.
With so many years of knowledge accumulation, Jane can almost be called a "walking big library" and "living encyclopedia."
Many of Xia En's questions can be answered from her.
In addition, the crew members on the [Black Swan] originally harbored various secrets. Jane's presence might allow them to have a deeper understanding of themselves.
Moreover, although Jane claims to be a researcher, she does not have the power of an ordinary mystic.
But Xia En didn't believe that a [Mrs. Serenity] who could defect from the [Truth Society] would really be a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken.
Maybe the combat power she can exert will even exceed her own!
When we are about to go to the [Cold Sea], any increase in combat power is crucial.
However, after formally agreeing to Jane's request.
Xia En also realized——
It turns out that there has been no new crew member added to the [Black Swan] for a long time.
Although Xia En successively conquered the [Moon Ying Tribe] and the Tree Tribe, they were strictly residents of the [Rhine Secret Realm], not Xia En's crew.
In fact, Shane actually had many opportunities to recruit new crew members.
For example, on [Liu Li Island], as long as he is willing to spend golden dragon coins, he can recruit a large number of experienced and powerful sailors.
But after thinking about it, Xia En thought that it could be done, but it was not necessary!
First of all, when these sailors get on the ship, the amplification effect brought to him by [Captain's Majesty] is actually extremely limited.
Almost "better than nothing" level.
But at the same time, Xia En had to spend a lot of time managing and training these sailors.
If you have this spare time, wouldn't it be better to just let the [Yueyong Clan] from [Rhine Secret Realm] board the ship?
After all, they are absolutely loyal to themselves.
On the other hand, there are too many secrets on the [Black Swan].
Elves, bronze dragons, [Diamond Star]...and now there is another Jane [Truth Serial Number NO.008].
If any of these secrets are spread, it can cause quite a stir in the Seven Seas, and even cause a lot of trouble.
And Xia En can't guarantee that every sailor can keep secret.
Rather than trusting the sailors' credibility, it's better not to take them with you at all!
It is for these reasons that Xia Encai did not recruit new crew members for a long time.
The new crew members before Jian can already be traced back to Yan Yan and Cui Qian who boarded the ship in [Cold Sea]!
When thinking of Yan Yan, Xia En's mood was inevitably a little complicated.
Not only was he lamenting about his status as King Xin, but he was also worried about his unclear current situation.
However, according to Yan Yan, after leaving the [Black Swan], he and the [Black Flame Walkers] will also go to the far north to resolve the upcoming crisis.
Maybe there, they will have a chance to meet again.
I just don’t know what will happen at that time...
After calming down his complicated thoughts, Xia En turned to look at Jane and said, "Ms. Jane, let me introduce you to the members of the [Black Swan]."
With that said, Xia En brought Jane to the front of the crew.
"This is Ms. Jane Vivian, who was the administrator of the [Federal Library]."
"From today on, she is the new crew member of the [Black Swan]."
With a decent smile on Jane's face, she looked around everyone: "Hello, I'm Jane."
However, while scanning other people, Jane's expression couldn't help but become a little weird, and she thought to herself.
"The white-haired siren...the vampire who has returned to his ancestors..."
"There is also a...real ancient dragon!?"
"Isn't there an ordinary person among the crew on this ship?"
In Jane's view, Xia En has long been excluded from the category of ordinary people.
Based on Jane's knowledge, after identifying the identities of the crew members, a storm could not help but arise in her heart.
None of the crew members on board the Black Swan is an ordinary person, and their status and origins are extremely extraordinary.
The atavistic vampires themselves are extremely rare.
In Jane's long life, she has only seen five of them.
The siren girl with white hair and red eyes seemed to have completed the awakening of her bloodline.
What's more important is that she has some kind of divinity in her body, as if she has the authority of some gods.
——This trait makes it difficult for Jane not to think of the first plan being implemented by the [Truth Society].
Thinking of this, Jane finally understood the reason why Xia En asked about the two major plans of the [Truth Society] last time.
It seems that even without his own participation, Captain Xia En has already had a very deep relationship with the [Truth Society].
Finally, Jane's eyes fell on An, who was wearing armor.
Although this armor looks very special and mighty, among all the people in the group, he seems to be the most normal one?
However, as soon as Jane came up with this idea, she felt a familiar yet unfamiliar aura from An.
And this special atmosphere will never be forgotten by Jane!
Jane looked at An blankly and asked, "Are you... an elf?"
An hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly after receiving Xia En's approval look.
"really!"
In fact, after meeting Shane, Jane knew that there was probably an elf crew member on his ship.
But after seeing An in person, Jane couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Even though she is the daughter of an elf, she has never seen a real elf, and even a half-elf like her has only met once.
So, Jane couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "What's your name?"
"Have you seen any other elves?"
"In other words, do you know where the elves gather?"
Because this matter was extremely important to Jane, her attitude was inevitably a bit urgent. A series of questions were asked like a barrage, making An, who could not speak, panic.
Fortunately at this time.
Tracey flew out from the side and said, "Madam, don't be impatient yet."
"Ask questions slowly. We will be together for a long time in the future."
"Besides, An can't speak. It's useless no matter how urgent you ask."
Seeing the petite and exquisite Tracy with wings, Jane's eyes once again flashed with a strange color.
"Fairy?"
In various ancient books in the Great Library, she had of course seen records about this race of elves accompanying them.
But like the elf, it was only today that Jane saw this strange creature for the first time.
After listening to Tracy's words, Jane quickly calmed down.
She was not the kind of person who was easily excited, but because "elf" meant so much to her, she lost her temper for a moment.
After calming down, Jane noticed Tracey's words.
"Can't speak? Is it the [Curse of Aphasia]?"
Over the years, Jane's research on the elves has been profound, so she could naturally see the reason behind this at a glance.
"Yes."
Xia En said from the side: "Ms. Jane, you may be disappointed."
"An has lost her memory among the elves, and her understanding of the elves is not much better than that of you and me."
"I see……"
Jane nodded and asked, "Then what's going on with this armor?"
"I...smelled a sealing breath from it."
Xia En sighed softly: "This matter is a long story..."
But when this matter was mentioned, Xia En suddenly felt something in his heart.
With Jane's knowledge, can she let An take off her armor while controlling the spread of misfortune?
"hiss……"
Xia En's heart beat violently.
Don’t tell me, it’s really possible!
After being together for such a long time, Xia Enlian didn't even know whether he was a boy or a girl or what he looked like. It would be unrealistic to say that he wasn't curious.
But more important than the emotion of "curiosity" is that it can free An from the prison of this armor!
Even if An never showed it, anyone who lived in such a closed armor for decades or hundreds of years would suffer great physical and mental damage.
If An could be freed from it, even for a short period of time, he would be able to experience the feeling of freedom again, right?
However, Jane has just boarded the ship now, and there may still be a long way to go before she can truly solve this problem.
"Captain Shane——"
Just as Jane moved her luggage into the room and became familiar with the crew.
A cry came from the sea.
Xia En turned around and saw a beautiful frigate heading towards the [Black Swan].
Shane is no stranger to it.
That is Daisy's car - [Qingfeng]!
Next to the "Qingfeng", there is a ship that is very similar to it, like its twin brother.
This is the [Hanyu], and its captain is naturally Daisy’s brother, Alessio.
At this time, Daisy changed into a clean white captain's uniform.
Her hair was tied into a ponytail on the back of her head, and she stood tall with a sailor's scimitar on her waist.
Most of the charming and soft rouge aura usually disappeared, replaced by a heroic temperament.
This gave Shane a rather novel feeling, like "it turns out Daisy still has such a side".
"Captain Shane, it's almost time."
Daisy waved her hand and said, "It's time to gather in the sea area where the ritual is transmitted."
Shane nodded: "I understand."
"Then I'll take the first step."
Daisy was about to order the helmsman to turn the ship's bow when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure on the deck and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Ms. Administrator!?"
What Daisy saw was none other than Jane wearing a black gauze skirt.
"Madam Administrator? Are you the administrator of the Great Library?"
Not only Daisy, but Alessio also noticed Jane on the deck. He couldn't help but look dull and murmured in surprise.
They never expected that when Xia En came to [Liu Li Island], he not only made such a big deal, but also abducted the administrator of the [Federal Great Library]!
This is not a trivial matter on [Liu Li Island].
If it's an ordinary administrator, forget it, just replace it with someone else.
But you must know that there is only one administrator of the [Federal Library] from beginning to end!
For hundreds of years, people have become accustomed to the existence of the cold and wise old woman in the library.
And now, she has quietly boarded the [Black Swan] and is leaving [Liuli Island]! ?
After recognizing Jane, the other crew members of [Light Wind] and [Cold Rain] also showed surprise.
Some crew members couldn't help but shout out.
"Ms. Administrator, is it really you?"
"I borrowed a book from the library last month!"
Facing the surprised people, Jane's attitude was completely different from when she communicated with the crew before.
She just glanced at them lightly, without any response, and walked back to her room.
This cold attitude seemed a little unkind.
But Daisy and others thought it was normal.
Or, this is what the administrator should do!
"Sure enough, it's the real administrator..."
The sailor who asked the question just now couldn't help but sighed softly: "I knew I was right."
After being surprised, Daisy shook her head helplessly and sighed.
"Captain Shane is worthy of it."
Being able to let the administrator become a crew member on the ship is not just a special treatment.
This shows that Shane must have some secrets that she doesn't know.
However, as a companion, Daisy can't dig into his secrets.
Daisy thought to herself: "Besides, this time with the administrator, the chance of survival has increased a bit."
According to the information sent back at the moment, the situation in [Cold Sea] is actually not optimistic.
Due to the harsh environment of the Far North and the unknown monsters that appeared there, the ships of various forces are very difficult to advance.
In just one month, the Federal Navy suffered heavy casualties.
And even until today, the team assembled by the Federation has not been able to find the location of [King].
It can be seen that the entire rescue and exploration operation is difficult.
If not for this, the Moriarty family would not have sent two of their own direct descendants to participate in such a dangerous operation.
The situation has actually reached a very critical point.
With the idea of "no egg can survive when the nest is overturned", the big families of [Liuli Island] actually sent out their elite forces.
Not long after.
Xia En drove the [Black Swan] to the sea area where the transmission ritual was located.
At this time, a large number of ships of various styles had gathered here.
Among them were warships of the Federal Navy and dilapidated and primitive pirate ships.
Xia En even saw the shadows of several blood clan ships.
However, at this time, with the protection of [Light Wind] and [Cold Rain], these blood clan ships were parked far away and did not actively approach.
The atmosphere of the entire sea area was solemn and murderous.
Soon, the fluctuations of the secret power gradually surged on the sea surface.
The transmission array has begun to activate!
