193 Unravel the knot
Because these three boxes found in the mezzanine of the large cabinet look so important, Hugo and the others first save the boxes in St. George's ship space, preparing to wait until everyone finishes everything.
Because the book only has the last bit left, in addition to leaving a few ship girls to continue scanning the contents of these books, most of the ship girls began to come to those shelves to clean up various supplies on the shelves.
For ship girls, it is obviously not difficult to transport and take away these things. Because they can completely use ship-mounted space to stuff these things in.
It was during the cleaning process that Hugo and the others discovered that the things laid on the floor that were thought to be floor tiles were not bricks or stones, but metal ingots that had been laid several layers.
According to statistics, these metal ingots are mainly some high-level magic metals that are difficult to buy on the market, such as pure gold and Mithril. However, the largest number is an artificial metal: Fairy Silver.
"Where did these fairy silver come from?" the Cossacks asked while grabbing metal blocks from the floor and stuffing them into their ship-mounted space.
"Didn't it mean that the fairies are very careful in watching this kind of thing, and they are basically not sold outside?"
"I don't know, there is no record of this at all." said War-weary, who had been in charge of checking the surrounding situation before. "But considering that Grindelwald swept Europe back then, it was not strange to get these wealth."
In such a chat, the various treasures in the treasure house are classified, marked, counted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then loaded into their respective ship-mounted spaces.
Since the ship girls are all quick-witted, everyone quickly sorted out all the treasures in this treasure house.
While several ship ladies were finally inspecting and dealing with the three gold boxes before, Hugo consulted the company through the admiral network about the problems she had been holding onto before.
"There is a question that may involve privacy..." Hugo carefully felt the emotions of the company through the Admiral Network, while organizing his own words
"Of course, I authorize you to this question. 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, the company smiled helplessly. "I can feel that you have no malice, so I won't be angry no matter what questions you ask."
"Okay - I'm actually. I want to ask how you really feel about me?" Knowing that the ship girl would not lie in front of her admiral, Hugo asked that question directly after getting the answer.
"You know, in my impression, the admiral and the ship girl can be said to be intimate. But since the first ship girl Shengli and I first met, I have come into contact with a lot of ship girls. But what do you give me the feeling-"
Speaking of this, Hugo became ill, because even though he knew that the company would not be angry, he didn't know how to express the following words in more appropriate language.
"You are trying to say why we seem to be as close to you as you think, right?" Because of the connection of the Admiral Network and Hugo's expression, the company quickly figured out what Hugo wanted to say.
"Don't worry, dear admiral, our love and loyalty to you are extremely firm, and you do not need to question or worry about this."
"And since we came to this world, we have also felt your heart and were able to confirm that you are the admiral who best meets the requirements of our hearts."
"As for why we seem a little cold to you, and the reason why we communicate in daily life is very simple." Speaking of this, the company smiled at Hugo.
"Because you are not ready for some time now."
"Preparation, what does it mean?" After hearing the company's words, Hugo felt even more confused. "Does your emotions still have something to do with my body?"
"There is no mandatory connection, but there are some things we have to think about." At this point, the company paused. "I think you probably haven't seen the real side of us."
"The real side?" Hugo felt even more confused. "Are you referring to a warship state similar to Belfast on the Thames?"
"Of course not." The company said after a smile, shook his head, and then thought for a few seconds.
"In fact, as ship girls, we are obviously different from ordinary people in terms of appearance, so we have never exposed our formal appearance since we came to this world."
"In addition, we have also restrained our breath and fine-tuned the structure of our body. 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 with a little anxious look. He really couldn't understand why the ship girls wanted to cover up their appearance in front of him.
"Well- that's it." The company used the Admiral Network to contact other ship ladies for a few words, then took Hugo to a corner and said, then closed its eyes.
In an instant, a white light that was not dazzling but very bright was emitted from the whole body of the company. After the white light dissipated, the company still maintained its original posture and fought there.
At first glance, Hugo did not see any difference between the company and the one just now, but soon, he found that compared with the one just now, the company now is obviously more beautiful.
If the original company was just a girl who looked very beautiful, then the current company's beauty far exceeds the limit of human beings. Just a small-scale adjustment in her body, her appearance has risen to a higher level.
More importantly, her original temperament was also fully displayed at this time, making her feel more like an angel or an elf than a human.
"This is—" Hugo felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerate and his face began to heat up. "Just as we said, we are not flesh and blood creatures, but elves born from human fantasy."
Looking at Hugo, who adjusted his condition through deep breathing, the company's eyes flashed with praise.
"We were born with the most perfect imagination in human consciousness, so we naturally had a look that surpassed humanity." The company shrugged and continued. "You should be controlling some of your own ideas now."
"Yes-" Hugo grinned and showed an embarrassed smile. He felt that there was no need to hide from the ship girl in this regard.
"There is nothing to be embarrassed about. To be honest, if you don't have this idea, I will be worried." The company said this and smiled an aunt.
"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 need to hide our true image in normal times, but also keep a distance from you as much as possible, otherwise it will definitely have a bad impact on your development."
