She knew Ms. M?!
In the following days, Luther was busy reorganizing his Fleet.
The Potion ingredients provided by the Tarot Club members arrived one after another, and his most proactive crew members successfully became Extraordinary. The main ones were "Sailor," "Warrior," and "Hunter," who were more combat- Pathway, with a few "Savant," "Spectator," and "Seer" as assistants.
Sailor Walter acquired the "Black Emperor" Pathway Sequence 7 Potion at the Pirate Assembly and has successfully advanced to "Briber"; Helmsman Rube received a reward from Luther and advanced to Sequence 8 "Raging Berserker";
The Ship's Doctor, Darkwill, also appears to be negotiating with his Teacher, hoping to secure a promotion.
First Mate Anderson assembled a crew of thirty, intending to use them for the Sequence 4 promotion Ritual.
In addition, the title of "King of Blood" gradually resounded throughout the Five Seas.
The story of Alexander Gascoigne Grazing the "King of Immortality" and defeating the "Abomination" was spread among the surviving pirates who attended the conference. Although these stories were inevitably exaggerated and distorted due to alcohol and vanity, the general direction was correct.
As a result, more and more people developed awe and longing for this new king of the sea, and the Fleet's recruitment efforts in various places progressed extremely smoothly. Some pirate groups even took the initiative to join him, but were driven away by him.
The blood-stained skull and crossbones flag flew high at the bow of their ship, terrifying all the islands they passed, and all the ships along the way fled in terror upon seeing it.
Nas, the capital of the Gargas Archipelago, also known as the "White City," is Beluga Whale Sea.
"You can disembark now."
Luther said to Sophia.
This is a colony of Feysac, so naturally they would treat their own princess with great care.
"Yes, Captain."
Sophia's eyes flickered. "Before that, please allow me to say hello to everyone."
She turned and went back to the deck, smiling and waving goodbye to the crew members who had gathered around her. The crew members seemed reluctant to part with her, not only because Sophia was the only woman in the Fleet and so beautiful, but also because of her lively and cheerful personality; although she was a princess, she could chat with ordinary people.
Luther stood in the Captain's Cabin, watching through the window as the red-haired girl smiled and chatted with the others, Soothing their emotions.
"Brush."
A faint sound arose beside him, and M's figure appeared.
Is it really a good thing to keep her blood?
She asked Luther Ze.
"Just as insurance."
Luther replied, Red Light flashing in his hand. It was a transparent glass tube containing a scarlet, transparent liquid.
- The blood of Sophia Einhorn.
Luther ultimately kept Sophia's blood, but instead of immediately handing it over to Medici, he kept it for himself. If he couldn't obtain the Sequence 3 Potion recipe from other sources, he could use it to trade with Medici.
He didn't want to rely on this natural Conspirer if there were any other way.
Just then, Sophia had successfully dispersed everyone and returned to the Captain's Cabin.
"Thank you, Captain. I had a very happy and free time here."
She spoke sincerely to Luther.
Luther nodded slightly.
"I'm sorry, but to prevent information leaks, your memories from this time on the ship will be sealed away. But don't worry, they will automatically reappear in about three to five years."
By then, Luther will most likely have been promoted to High Sequence, and the strength of his Fleet will have greatly increased, so he won't have to worry about being attacked.
"I understand, I get it."
Although somewhat disappointed, Sophia nodded in agreement.
"Okay, now relax and don't think about anything..."
Luther said softly.
Sophia's eyes gradually glazed over, and she drifted into a near-sleepwalking Hypnosis state. M approached, gently cupping her cheeks in his hands, and delved into her mind, peeling away the relevant memories...
Sophia's crimson eyes reflected M's radiant face. At that moment, their minds connected, and she finally saw Luther's other personality for the first time. However, after seeing M's appearance clearly, she suddenly spoke Consciousness.
Then, as if she recognized M, she vaguely and Consciousness said, "Ivanova, what are you doing here?"
When Sophia regained consciousness, she found Luther looking at her with an expression she had never seen before—a complex mix of anger, confusion, and disbelief.
"Captain, have my memories been successfully sealed?"
As soon as she asked the question, Sophia sensed something was wrong. Her memories seemed to be still vividly preserved in her mind, without the slightest trace of blurring or loss.
Luther spoke, his voice a little hoarse.
"That's not urgent."
He looked at Sophia, raised his hand, and suddenly a person materialized beside him. "Take another look. Do you recognize her?"
Sophia looked in that direction.
It was a stunningly beautiful woman with red hair and golden eyes, her body wrapped in a pure white robe, smiling gently at her.
"Yes, we know each other."
Sophia replied, somewhat puzzled, "But I've never seen her wear clothes like that before..."
She suddenly stopped talking, because the captain's expression on the other side became even more gloomy Distortion in an instant.
"So, what is the specific identity of this person you know?"
The captain's eyes gleamed with golden light as he asked softly.
"Our Feysac Royal Family, Ivanova Einhorn."
The golden light seemed to shine in Sophia's heart, and she couldn't refuse to answer the truth.
According to the family Sequence, she should be my aunt.
Is she still alive?
"Of course she's alive. She was perfectly fine before I escaped from Feysac..."
After Sophia finished answering, she saw the captain take a deep breath, as if forcibly suppressing his inner emotions.
"And then, what else do you know about her, like what she does, who she usually contacts, her personality, etc."
He pressed for more information.
Why would the captain be interested in members of our Royal Family?
Sophia was increasingly confused, but still cooperated and said, "Ivanova usually... um?"
She opened her mouth, but said nothing.
A strange feeling surged through her mind. She had clearly spent a long time with Ivanova Einhorn and had many conversations with her, but now she couldn't say anything. It was as if the memories of those days were veiled by a thick white gauze, blurry and indescribable.
"I forgot..."
Sophia murmured incredulously, "How could I have forgotten all of this..."
A sense of the bizarre and the absurd accumulated in her heart.
Luther was silent for a moment, then raised his palm.
Forget everything we just had.
He said.
