Navigator: I Have a Legendary Exploration Log

Chalice stepped into the Navigators' Association hall.

He bypassed the bustling crowd and went straight up to the second floor.

"Submit the task."

Chalice placed his badge and the mission document for "Investigating the Missing Island" on the oak cabinet and pushed them over.

The young clerk looked up, his gaze sweeping over the badge and the assignment. He then stood up politely and said, "Please wait a moment, I will check it for you right away."

Just then.

Approaching footsteps sounded behind me.

A familiar voice reached Cheris's ears.

"oh……"

The man who spoke leaned on the counter with his left hand, casually pulling out a badge and documents with his right. "Brother! I didn't expect to see you again so soon!"

Hawke chuckled familiarly, "I bet you're here to submit that investigation mission too. The reward must be pretty good! Too bad I'm a step too late, sigh... But I'm happy for you, brother!"

Chalice simply smiled silently, "I just happened to be lucky this time."

He was not fooled by Hawke's enthusiasm.

Not long ago.

He hadn't forgotten how he had used phlogiston cans to outmaneuver this smiling tiger.

If Cherries hadn't posed a significant threat at the time.

Hawke might have already seized the spoils or even killed someone to cover his tracks...

When the time comes, everyone on the Homecoming will die, and only Hawke's men will return. We'll see what they say then.

"Oh dear! That's an exploration mission!"

Hawke suddenly raised his voice and exclaimed, "Let alone the reward for exploration missions, even harvesting a few Bloodthorn Fruits is an unimaginable windfall!"

"Brother, I haven't yet had the pleasure of asking your name. Do you have any extra Bloodthorn Fruit? It's absolutely fantastic; I'd love to buy some!"

These words immediately attracted the attention of those nearby.

Captains who can go up to the second floor are at least bronze captains.

As extraordinary beings, they were well aware of the risks of the Bloodthorn Tree and the value of its fruit.

An adventurous fruit-picking adventure?

Something's not quite right...

Finished fruit?

I'm somewhat tempted...

Chalice naturally noticed the gazes that were gathering around him.

His already faint smile vanished completely, and he stared blankly at Hawke, whose face was full of sincerity.

Using someone else to do one's own dirty work... truly a smiling tiger!

Chalis ignored him and simply added the man to a kill list.

Even a captain of high status cannot avoid having conflicts of interest with others.

This is inevitable.

From the assignment of high-value tasks to the defection of key crew members and even disputes over ship ownership...

As long as a person is alive, there will be conflicts of interest with others.

Chalice could only try to avoid making enemies.

But if he really can't avoid it, he won't suffer in silence.

Bruce, a guy who only knows how to curse, doesn't deserve to be on the kill list. In Cherry's eyes, Bruce is even a little bit silly and "cute".

Arguing with him is a way to relax during tense moments.

these years.

Chalice wrote down many names, and also erased many others.

This kill list is almost empty.

Today is just one more.

So what if he's a bronze captain?

So what if they are extraordinary?

Not long ago, Chalice even personally killed one...

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, the staff behind the counter quickly forced a smile and invited, "Sir, your mission credentials need to be authenticated. Please follow me!"

Chalice gave Hawke one last look before following the staff to the back.

Hawke watched Cheryl's retreating figure, a smug smile appearing on his face.

What's a little eye drops?

He will not only speak here, but also go out and spread the word.

Although it's unknown who might be interested in Bloodthorn Fruit, someone is bound to be interested in a second-tier material that a mere first-tier extraordinary being possesses!

"Bloodthorn Fruit? Those things only grow on mature Bloodthorn Trees, and they're second-tier monsters..."

"This young man actually came back alive?"

"I remember now! There was an exploration quest before, which required us to investigate an island where Bloodthorn Trees were cultivated. Tsk tsk tsk... This kid's got some skills..."

Listening to the chatter of the crowd, Hawke smugly strode away...

……

Chalice had anticipated the potential risks.

But I don't care.

Because he had heard a summary.

Being anxious in advance is like taking out a loan and eating shit.

Since it has already happened, there's nothing to be afraid of. Just be mentally prepared so you won't be caught off guard.

at the moment.

He arrived at a familiar office.

The door was slightly ajar.

At the staff's prompting, he pushed open Professor Herrens's door.

"Oh? It's you?"

Professor Herrens was unusually not writing at his desk; he was standing by the window enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.

Upon seeing that the captain who needed to verify the mission items was none other than the familiar face of Chalice, Professor Herons's wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed for once.

"Oh, it's you!"

He beckoned to Cherries, "Please sit down! Where are your things? You're carrying them with you, aren't you? I don't want to go to the docks with you..."

Chalice quickly took a bloodthorn fruit out of his pocket and handed it over.

Helens casually took it, examined it carefully for a few seconds, and then handed it back.

"A high level of spirituality is quite rare."

He asked with great interest, "I saw in the report that you brought back two more ships? Tell me briefly about it! Consider it your mission summary..."

"Hmm...wait a minute, go next door and call Isabel over. I don't want to write some boring files..."

Chalice readily knocked on the door next door and called the somewhat bewildered girl to Herrens's office.

"Professor, is there something you need?"

Isabel greeted the professor first, then glanced at Cherries.

After shifting his gaze, he seemed to realize something, and turned his head sharply, staring intently at the black-haired captain.

"Mr. Chárlis, you are badly injured!"

"Well……"

Chalice was somewhat surprised.

What's wrong with me today?

It's one thing that the Church of Radiance can see through itself...

How can any student so easily tell that I'm injured and that the injury is quite serious?

Chalice glanced down at himself with a hint of self-doubt.

The trench coat was buttoned up tightly, and the bandages were not visible.

The medicine for treating the wound didn't have a strong smell. Could it be that I've lost too much blood and my face is so pale?

"hehe!"

Professor Helens answered his question.

"Don't be nervous. Isabel is an extraordinary being in the life sequence and has an exceptional perception of the life force of others."

"Especially for the extraordinary, their stronger vitality and spirituality are like a blazing candle. Once they become listless, the difference between them and their previous selves will be easily exposed."

"I see……"

Chalice suddenly realized.

"So... am I feeling really bad?"

It's rare for Isabel to encounter a question that directly relates to her expertise.

She examined it carefully for a few seconds with a serious expression, then smiled and said, "It is indeed a bit poor, but please don't worry too much. Your life essence is not damaged, and it's easy to recover."

"Is this all it takes to diagnose the problem?"

Chalice was somewhat surprised.

"The Path of Sequences is truly amazing!"

"alright!"

Helens cautioned, "If you want to have a deeper conversation with her about life, you can do it privately later. Finish the mission summary first; I'm not here to watch you young people chat!"
