Who would have thought that such a vast expanse of land would exist in this technologically advanced headquarters of Destiny?
That's right, it's land.
Although he had been here once in his previous life, Jiang Mu was still amazed when he saw it again.
The vast land is covered with purple roses. A gentle breeze blows, and the roses sway softly in the wind, creating a beautiful sight.
How is it here?
Otto asked softly, as if afraid of disturbing someone.
"This place...is beautiful..."
Jiang Mu replied without hesitation.
Even when he was... in his previous life, he never abandoned this thought.
“Yes…” Otto smiled gently and continued, “But this sight, in my heart, is not even one ten-thousandth as beautiful as my lover.”
"Your lover?"
Jiang Mu asked "curiously".
“Yes…” Otto stopped, his hand stroking over the purple rose petals, a look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.
“My beloved, Karen Kaslana.”
"A member of the Kaslana family?"
“Yes…” Otto murmured.
"She used to love robbing the rich to help the poor."
"Under the cover of night, wearing that purple mask, her clothes adorned with her favorite purple roses, she moved among the treasure vaults of various powerful families, and all the wealth she obtained was given to those suffering in misery..."
"The phantom thief's advance notice is the best description of her..."
"And...what about her?"
Jiang Mu decided to say something that really hit home to Otto.
Sure enough, Otto's face immediately darkened, but he stopped after seeing Jiang Mu's "innocent" eyes.
"Therefore, I built this rose garden as a memorial to her."
The two continued walking forward, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of a stone platform.
"This is……"
“These are weapons I made especially for her.” Otto took the twin pistols out of their sheaths and gently caressed them.
"Night Rhapsody, that's the name of these two pistols."
"It's just a pity... she'll never need it again..."
Otto's eyes suddenly dimmed...
"Bishop Otto, please accept my condolences..."
Jiang Mu comforted him.
“It’s alright…” Otto waved his hand. “For so many years, I’ve been trying to find a way to revive her, and now I’ve found a way.”
"Well... congratulations, Bishop..." Jiang Mu's face twitched, and he forced a smile.
“Hehe…” Otto waved his hand and said to Jiang Mu.
"Your father has already told me that he has agreed to let you join Destiny. From now on, keep up the good work."
“Yes!” Jiang Mu replied, his face beaming with excitement.
"You said you like weapons, so I'll transfer you to Master Changguang's team," Otto said with a smile. "She's Schicksal's chief weapons designer, you two will definitely get along well..."
"Yes!" Jiang Mu nodded emphatically.
“Alright…” Otto smiled and said, “I want to stay here a little longer. You can go out now. Rita is probably still waiting outside.”
Seeing that Otto had given him the hint to leave, Jiang Mu didn't want to waste any more time with the old man. After saying "okay," he quickly left...
When the door in front of Jiang Mu opened again, a white light suddenly appeared before his eyes, so bright that Jiang Mu instinctively closed his eyes.
"this……"
After Jiang Mu finally recovered, the scene in front of him made him pause slightly.
The view before me wasn't that long corridor, but rather...
Otto's office?
"They're here."
Otto looked at Jiang Mu, who was standing at the door, and smiled.
"Come on in since you're here."
“Bishop Otto.”
Jiang Mu looked at the smiling Otto, then at the "little girl" beside him, and suddenly realized.
"Today should be..."
"I called you here today because I have an important position for you." Otto said with a smile.
"What?" Although he already knew the answer in his heart, Jiang Mu still pretended to be puzzled.
“Do you remember the Hyperion?” Otto didn’t answer, but asked instead.
“I remember,” Jiang Mu said. “It drove into Tianming once two years ago, and I was in charge of its repair and maintenance.”
“Hmm,” Otto continued, “Given your habits, you must know the Hyperion inside and out.”
"Well enough."
“Then…” Otto said, “It just so happens that the previous captain of the Hyperion, Lieutenant Commander Himeko, has resigned. How about you take over as the next captain?”
“This…” A strong sense of resistance welled up in Jiang Mu’s heart. “I feel that my abilities are still insufficient…”
“You don’t need to be modest…” Otto laughed. “I have confidence in your abilities; in fact, I would say you are the best person for this position!”
"Since you've put it that way," Jiang Mu said with a wry smile, but inwardly he gritted his teeth and said, "then I have no choice but to respectfully comply."
“Excellent…” Otto clapped and laughed, then looked at the person beside him, “Theresa, Dr. Jiang Mu, you should know him, right? Letting him become the captain of the Hyperion is no problem, is it…”
"No...no problem..."
Theresa seemed reluctant, but in the end she nodded and agreed.
……………………
The scene before Jiang Mu's eyes changed rapidly once again, and in the blink of an eye, he and Theresa had arrived on the deck of the Hyperion.
“From now on, you will be the captain of the Hyperion,” Theresa said, looking up.
"You need to be careful because the Hyperion is docked at St. Freya Academy, but St. Freya Academy is an all-girls school, so..."
"I understand," Jiang Mu nodded. "I won't be on campus."
"Um...it's not that exaggerated..."
Theresa scratched her head. "As long as you don't deliberately harass female students, it's fine."
"Don't worry, I won't." Subconsciously, Jiang Mu patted Theresa's head.
"Captain!" Theresa bared her little fangs.
"No... I'm sorry..." Jiang Mu quickly withdrew his hand and said with an embarrassed smile.
“Tch…” Theresa turned her head away and continued.
"Next, I will take you to meet the Valkyrie of the Far East Branch."
“capital on bridge…”
As the familiar sound effects rang out, the hatch in front of Jiang Mu slowly opened with the sound of an air pump, and a group of Valkyries standing behind him appeared in front of Jiang Mu.
"Hello, I'm Raiden Mei. You must be the new captain..." the girl with a single ponytail said with a smile.
"I am Kiana Kaslana, the future S-class Valkyrie!" the white-haired girl declared energetically.
“Bronya Zaychek,” the silver-haired girl said calmly, her expression unchanged.
"My name is Fu Hua. Please give me your guidance." A friendly-looking young woman gave a traditional bow and said.
"I am Himeko, the former captain of the Hyperion." The red-haired woman patted Jiang Mu on the shoulder and smiled. "From now on, the Hyperion is in your hands."
"I...I'm called Seele..." the sea-blue-haired girl said timidly.
"We are the Vodka Girls!" Two figures, one in blue and one in pink, jumped out from behind Jiang Mu.
"I am Lilia," the blue-haired girl said listlessly.
"I am Rosalia!" the pink-haired girl said energetically.
Then...
"Captain, welcome to the Hyperion!"
