"Among us commanders, there is a legend about the ghost ship..."
During Mio Hahara's introduction, Wang Yu gradually understood the settings in her mind.
She seems to regard herself as a ghost survivor from the last civilization era destroyed by sirens, and this ghost drives his ghost ship. Because of his obsession with his own civilization being destroyed by sirens, he remains forever in the depths of the ocean. Constantly fighting the sirens.
Good guy, although Wang Yu thinks it's a bit outrageous, he has to admit that this is really an interesting idea.
In fact, Hahara Mio did not believe that the legend of the "ghost ship" was true at first.
But the problem is that in the previous sea battle, a series of actions by Wang Yu and the Annapolis seemed to be a mistake.
If you think about it carefully, when Mio Hahara's fleet encountered the sirens and was in danger, a ship with a novel appearance and a mysterious identity suddenly appeared in the depths of this inhospitable ocean. The key is that you don't know where it came from. The battleship came out...
The mysterious warship not only came to help and chased the Siren, but also exerted a much stronger combat power than their fleet during the battle, easily sending the Siren fleet to the bottom of the sea.
All this is very consistent with the characteristics of the legendary ghost ship.
So Mio Hahara decisively carried forward the spirit of Duck Type.
When the other person looks like a legend, acts like a legend, and embodies various characteristics like a legend, then he is really a legend.
So, this series of things changed her mind.
Her attitude towards this legend changed from being skeptical to being convinced.
In her opinion, Wang Yu was a treasure from the ancient times—ah, no, a survivor from the ancient times.
Wang Yu expressed his helplessness because he and his ship had become ghosts for no apparent reason.
I suggest you just change your name to Davy Jones, and then rename Annapolis to the Flying Dutchman...
Although I know that the other party's "ghost" is just a metaphor and a description, I still feel unhappy.
But it didn't matter. Since the other party had already made up a setting for him, Wang Yu decided to follow this setting.
According to the plan, he told Hahara Mio that he had forgotten many things.
Because time was too long, he lost most of his memory. He forgot his origins and the situation in the last civilized era. He also didn’t know what the world was like now. The only thing he could remember was confrontation. The Sirens also saw their fleet being chased by the Sirens before, so they decisively came to help.
I, the old captain of the ghost ship, it’s not too much to lose my memory.
Although he knew that his words were full of flaws, he could only pursue making them sound as reasonable as possible.
Indeed, after all, even the setting of the last civilized era has come out now...
In short, Wang Yu's plan is progressing pretty well. With the double filter of "legendary figure" and "savior", Hahara Mio is temporarily convinced of Wang Yu's words - and that Miss Eugen is obviously better than Her commander was more rational, but she couldn't figure out the reason why Wang Yu and this battleship suddenly appeared here, so she could only believe in the legend for the time being.
Therefore, after talking about this aspect, Wang Yu "naturally" said that in the long-term battle against the Sirens, his warships had been seriously damaged and ammunition had been consumed too much.
So I hope to find a place that can provide repairs and supplies for my warships so that I can continue to fight the Sirens.
He blushed a little when he said this. Why did the ghost ship still need repairs and supplies?
Fortunately, the other party didn't think this was strange.
Mio Hahara turned around and said a few words to Prince Eugen, and then said that since Wang Yu had just helped them get through the difficulties, they had an obligation to help Wang Yu and the battleship.
She said the warship could follow her back to her port area, where there would be adequate equipment to provide repair services to the warship.
She even said that if Wang Yu wished to stop fighting alone and choose to contact humans in the current civilized era, then she could help contact the Navy General Administration.
Wang Yu expressed his gratitude for this, but he didn't want to make the matter so big that he couldn't control it.
So he specifically told Hahara Mio that all he wanted to do was fight the sirens, not be visited or worshiped by others in this era, so he hoped she could understand him and not tell these things.
At least until a certain time, he didn't want his identity to be exposed.
In the eyes of outsiders, let the legend remain a legend.
Mio Hahara basically agreed without hesitation.
Wang Yu felt that she was actually very talkative.
Maybe it's because she has a kind nature, maybe it's because this matter is really not harmful to her, or maybe it's because Wang Yu just saved her life not long ago, but in general, Wang Yu has achieved his goal.
Wang Yu was relieved to have a place to repair the ship and obtain supplies.
After all, he came to this world in a hurry, and there were not many choices left for him to take the initiative.
He and Hahara Mio had another unproductive conversation, and then Hahara Mio looked at her watch and felt that the conversation time was almost up, so she said goodbye to Wang Yu and prepared to return to her own battleship.
Before leaving, she raised her head and glanced at the superstructure of the Annapolis, and then asked Miss Eugen to hand Wang Yu an inconspicuous black suitcase that she had been carrying.
Wang Yu took it with some confusion: "This is it?"
Hahara Mio explained: "This is the trophy from the naval battle just now. You contributed a lot in the battle, so you should accept this trophy... and it is even more important to you now."
Wang Yu was a little surprised when he heard her serious words.
He laid the suitcase flat and opened it, and found a crystal-like cube fixed in the middle of the black sponge foam inside.
"What is this?"
He took out the cube from his suitcase and looked at it in front of his eyes: "It's quite beautiful."
The edge of the cube is about ten centimeters long, and it looks crystal clear. However, when it is placed in the sun, the light is refracted internally, and the color of the cube actually changes slightly. You can even see different colors from certain angles. ——White, blue, purple, and gold continued to appear in front of Wang Yu's eyes as the cube rotated in his hands.
Wang Yu wanted to complain, is this a refractive lens?
However, Hahara Mio did not whet his appetite, but immediately answered his doubts.
"This is the 'mind core'."
She said so.
"Mind Core?"
"Yes, it is the cornerstone of the existence of the ship girl. When the battleship is launched, the mental core can be installed on the hull to activate it and generate consciousness for the battleship. You can understand it as the embryo of the ship girl. , Generally speaking, after sinking a large number of Siren warships, mental cores will be generated, which can be regarded as the 'trophies' of sea battles."
Hahara Mio explained the situation of the mental core to Wang Yu: "I think that after completing the repair of the battleship, you are more willing to let this battleship have a consciousness, so you need it more than me."
Do the sirens in this world actually drop loot after being defeated?
In the previous world, Wang Yu had never heard of such a thing. It seemed that even for Siren, there was a big gap between the two sides.
Wang Yu looked at the mental core in his hand intently for a while, and then carefully put it back into the suitcase.
"In that case, I'll accept it."
