Star Sea: Explorer's Notes

Chapter 3 Soul Contract
"The Amrodia," Frege nodded thoughtfully, "is that the name of this ship?"

A gleam of joy flashed in his heart.

This is the main control room, the key to whether he can leave this planet is here.

After clicking on the "Start" button in the middle, it didn't take long for him to notice a line of prompts lit up on the dark blue screen directly in front of him——

【Please choose smart mode...】

[a. Strict teacher type, b. Gentle maid type, c. Traditional mechanical type]

"Is this still optional?"

Frege pressed a few buttons indiscriminately, but was speechless when he saw that the screen was still frozen at the prompt.

"This kind of thing...doesn't matter anyway?"

As for the energy supply system...

It seems that since he came to this main control room, the power supply of the whole ship has been restored.

Looking back at the bright corridor, after confirming that the monster hadn't followed, he raised his hand on the main console and pressed the button corresponding to the "b" option.

although.

But it's good to have fun.

He thought so.

[Confirm the choice...b. Strict teacher type]

He almost vomited blood after hearing the broadcast, but when he looked at it, he found that the two options a and b had switched places on the screen.

"Is it necessary to play like this?!"

"Fregg Noam."

A beautiful female voice suddenly sounded from behind him, "Improved species, male, 20 years old, born on Kelaze Star."

Frege turned his head, his vision was blurred, he could barely recognize that it was a woman.

The other party threw a bag of fresh nutrient solution over, he hurriedly reached out to catch it, immediately tore the seal without thinking of thanking him, then picked up the bag and poured the nutrient solution into his mouth without any regard for his image.

"Gee...Gee..."

After a long while, he put down the dry bag, and now he clearly felt that his body had gradually begun to recover.

This feeling of rebirth made him want to let out a long cry.

Of course, he didn't forget the people who helped him.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him again.

The light blue slightly curly long hair fell to the shoulders, showing a gorgeous color under the warm light, and below that was a fair face, paired with a pair of round thin-rimmed glasses, it looked even more delicate Pretty.

"you are……"

"My name is Noya, and I am the master intelligence of the Amrodia."

Frege's eyes were still on her graceful figure, which was wrapped in a professional attire but showed off her softness more and more. The woman had already introduced herself first.

"Please call me 'Mr. Nuoya' from now on."

"Noah... Teacher?"

Originally, Frege thought she was the owner of the ship, but when he realized that the other party was just a string of data composed of codes, he immediately put away his gratitude.

"Sorry," he shook his head, "I can't call an intelligent body a teacher."

Nuoya didn't speak, just stood there and looked at him quietly.

"You chose the smart mode just now," she said lightly, "I will give you another chance to choose."

"I choose the maid!"

"It's not for you to choose this..."

Several black lines appeared above Noah's head, "Frege Noam, are you willing to sign a soul contract with the Amrodia and become the new owner of this ship?"

"Soul contract? The new master?" Frege was confused by her words, "Excuse me, how many years is it in the Star Sea calendar?"

The soul contract sounds like it would only appear in a fantasy novel—maybe that mysterious psionic civilization really exists.

But the Galactic Federation where he is now is a real improved force. They don't talk about such mysterious things. The captain only needs to obtain the corresponding driving license to officially take up the post.

Nuoya ignored his ridicule, and the jewel-like clear blue eyes behind the glasses kept flickering.

"After signing the contract, you will get the fastest ship in the entire star sea, and all the wealth on the ship."

"This..." Frege frowned and didn't immediately agree, "What do I need to pay?"

"You need to give your all to the Amrodia, including... your life."

"Then I..."

"Don't rush to refuse." Noah still looked calm, "Without the help of the Amrodia, it is impossible for you to avoid the pursuit of the skeleton of the King of Armor."

hiss……

Frege took a deep breath. It turned out that the name of the mechanical golem outside was the Skeleton of the Machine King.

Is this a trap?
Whether it was the pocket watch or the so-called skeleton of the Tool King, they were just tools to draw him here.

"If you refuse, the Amrodia will no longer be able to provide you with any help, including food, water, and..."

Nuoya said slowly, "You don't know your physical condition, do you?"

Frege looked down at the densely packed wounds on his body. The quality of the nutrient solution that Noah threw to him was quite good, and even had some healing effects. At this moment, the wounds had begun to slowly recover.

Physical conditions?

Before he could open his mouth to ask, a sudden dizziness came from his head, and Noah's shadow swirled a few times in front of his eyes, and then his time fell into complete darkness.

……

I am...

Frege opened his eyes and found that there was no main control room around him, nor could he see the blue-haired intelligent body.

He returned to the desert, and there were no more bones of the Tool King behind him.

Sure enough...was it another hallucination?

It's still an endless desert, with endless yellow and...

plus?

He squinted his eyes, and found a figure in a black coat suddenly appeared not far in front of him.

The man had the same long black curly hair as him, and walked forward step by step, leaving only a back view for him.

He seemed to be holding something in his right hand.

Is it a... blue notebook?

Is this person me?

Frege recalled the saying that he had seen that before death, the soul would float away, and he could see his body and what happened in the past.

Is it about to end...

He sighed softly, and the black figure was getting farther and farther away from him. After a while, he seemed to lose his grip, and the blue notebook fell into the desert.

"So, that's how the notes were lost in the first place."

Frege understood.

However, in the next second, something unexpected happened.

The man bent down to pick up the note, and at the same time turned his head slightly, his gaze seemed to glance in his direction.

"blue eyes?"

Frege saw it clearly, it was an incomparably deep blue.

He knew those eyes did not belong to him.

So who is this person...
