old light morning light

Chapter 149 "48"

Couldn't be more safe, huh?

Hmph, if all of this is under his control, then that's exactly what it is...

His eyes, which looked cloudy under the candlelight, no longer looked at me with the same interest as before, and seemed to have lost interest in me on the surface.

but……

His fingers raised from time to time on the table seemed to imply that the cruiser commander's heart was not as calm as his face.

"Crackling~!"

The scene fell into silence for a while, and sparks danced gently in front of the fire with the crackling sound of firewood. Using the rhetorical techniques of those writers, they were like fire elves.

It's so warm and peaceful here.

Yes, I haven't experienced such tranquility for a long time.

I really hope to stay here for a while, even if it's so abrupt, even if I don't say a word like this, even if it's like this... I may be kicked out... expeled at any time.

Are you still looking forward to this kind of "warmth"?

I took the initiative to avoid Dover's embarrassing gaze, and the content of the interim was self-evident.

However, I also know that this is an extravagant request. They are politely waiting for me to leave here voluntarily. They still have something to discuss, right?

sorry……

Let me stay a little longer, if, just for...a few seconds...

"Uh, sorry, I think I might need to leave, you guys have something else to discuss, right?"

"Huh, Lin Man?"

Just as I turned around and was about to step away from here, Captain Xiluen stopped me.

"You like it here, don't you, young man?"

Maybe it was because of the sad mood when he turned around just now?

If I say "like it", will he allow me to stay here a little longer?

Thinking of this, I seem to be happy, even if I haven't really got such permission yet.

"It's better to be silly... cuter..."

But for some reason, the moment Jessica looked back at me before she left suddenly appeared in my mind.

Did he expect this scene, so he warned me in advance?
No, this is unlikely, right?
"I……"

"It's okay, nothing special..."

"If you don't like it, why do you keep staring at that fireplace?"

Before I could finish my speech, Captain Xiluen interrupted me directly, with a faint smile on his face that seemed to be slightly vicissitudes.

"Hehe, it's not honest enough."

"If you like this place, you can stay a little longer. Young people who like this kind of fireplace are rare these days."

"Ship, Mr. Captain!"

After hearing Silune's intentions, Dover seemed a little anxious. This guy probably didn't want me to know what was going to happen next.

"Oh, Dover."

Sylune waved her hand, indicating that the young man in front of her should be calmer.

"Just like I said just now, even if he is just a substitute, he is indeed a member of the Alliance Navy, let alone just..."

Just……?
Just what?
In the middle of speaking, Xiluen suddenly pursed her lips, which might not be a good thing for me.

"It's fine to stay here and continue listening, young people, but you may have to agree to do us a favor..."

The pensive Silune hesitated to speak, although the movements of his hands continued, but his eyes did not leave the contact with me, he was probably waiting for my answer.

"Don't worry, it will be easy for you, and maybe you will come here...you are already in it."

Will come here and be in it?

Wait, I seem to understand a little bit!

"It's better to be silly... cuter..."

"Not to mention just..."

What's more, what happened just now?

Already drugged!

"Being in it..."

Let me come here, give me advice, be in it...

Hahaha, I understand, Lin Man!

So when he came in just now, his playful eyes meant this!
Even letting me see that gun is carefully designed, hahaha!

What is this, it has already been clearly arranged for me, right?

"It seems that I have no way to refuse."

That being the case, it has come to this point, if you don't cooperate with them, wouldn't it be too boring?
Thinking that all of this seems to be related to my being drugged, and that shit dynasty group, and considering the so-called being in it, I can easily infer that maybe I need to do something.

It's nothing more than helping to find other members of the dynasty who have not been exposed on this ship.

Heh, then Jessica just told me directly, why bother to make such a big detour, right?
Fortunately, looking at it now, Dover is still in a dazed state. He probably doesn't know what happened, and he probably didn't participate in it.

"Hehe, don't be nervous young man, just like what I said just now, this is also the obligation you should fulfill as a member of the Alliance Navy."

"Wait, you...?"

Alright, Dover seems to have come to his senses now, and managed to make up a few question words with a strange tone.

"Haha, don't worry about Dover, I just found you a temporary off-field aid."

It could be seen that the old man was smiling happily.

"Of course, helping us is helping yourself, and that's a deal."

After giving Dover a "strange" explanation, Silune suddenly put on a serious posture and looked at me again.

A deal, is he talking to me?

"Deal? What deal?"

"Help us, and you will get what you want..."

Want something?
This guy...why...

"……Preppy."

"Crackling~!"

The last word was mixed with the sound of flames just bursting, and after entering my brain, I should feel warm when the fire shines like this, but I fell into the ice cave.

Hahaha.

Lin Man, Lin Man, this isn't funny at all, isn't it?

It turned out that it had been seen through from beginning to end.

"Sure enough, it's come to this point, so it's not polite to say no?"

He knew that I was a preparatory student, which meant that he could easily deduce that I must have a plan through the fact that a preparatory student must be directly assigned to participate in the action.

The purpose of this operation is nothing more than to investigate the data of new types of ships that may appear in the empire, so the most valuable thing is nothing more than these data, so what I want can be directly locked.

In conjunction with just now... Haha, that's right, he is the captain of the first ship, so how could he not know where I ran from just now?

Speaking of which, the automatic sentinel weapon might be his fault, right?

"Then deal."

Xi Luen's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking at this moment?
Would such a big man be complacent in order to successfully plot against a young man?
"Okay, Dover, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you introduce the situation to your new assistant?"

If we think about it further, I have clearly participated in the investigation on behalf of this Beihuan business, so I shouldn't use these small tricks anymore, so there must be someone else behind the scenes...

"Yes Yes!"

Obviously I've paid so much attention, but it's still so easy to be caught.

It's a scary world indeed.

I thought I was scheming Jeska, but I didn't expect that I was already in other people's scheming from the beginning to the end.

Sure enough, I am still as naive as before, and I really haven't improved at all.

"Uh... Lin, Lin Man?"

"Here, here is the briefing."

A few words popped out intermittently.

Dover seems to have missed us at all, but that's not his fault. For a bystander listening to the dumb conversation, he can even execute the "introduce the situation" command, which is not bad.

"You, you, I asked you to introduce to others, why did you just throw the briefing to others?"

Just as I reached out to take the document handed over by Dover, I was interrupted by Xiluen again.

Maybe he doesn't know where to start the introduction, it's really embarrassing for you.

"Dover!"

"Yes, yes, Captain!"

Perhaps also aware of Dover's stupefied state, Xiluen scolded the young man in front of him in a harsher tone.

"No energy!"

"If you're so spiritless, do you still want to be a navy?"

And the latter straightened up almost subconsciously, and it really seemed to lift his spirits.

"Say it again, say it again!"

"Dover!"

"Yes, Captain!"

This guy's tone of voice is also more crisp and powerful, maybe it's just shouting harder, maybe...

"Great, now, introduce the situation to your new assistant."

"Yes, Captain!"

Then Xi Luen looked at me, and smiled at me with a hidden meaning, as if to make me laugh, right?

Who cares, for me, just tell me what to do and how to do it, those messy prefaces and postscripts are all nonsense.

"When monitoring the transition channel of this deep transition, it was found that the flow state of the gravitational medium in the channel is not uniform. This is not an unusual thing."

"The first point: When constructing the jump vector, the mass of all ships that need to pass through the channel has been calculated and balanced. With the help of the navigation computer, it is almost impossible for the gravitational medium to appear in an uneven state."

Dover's state has become calm and reliable visibly to the naked eye. It has to be said that this Captain Xiluen has clearly grasped his subordinates.

Although I am not familiar with such majors as navigation and sailing, I can also understand from his description just now that there may be a problem with the quality of this departure.

"The unevenness, is the quality of the ship changed?"
