Poverty makes me capable of anything.

It was a small, circular ornament. In the center of the ring, a river was connected to the left, and a flower was carved on the right.

Considering that the flower looks like the spider lily, the river probably represents the River of Oblivion.

The River of Oblivion separates the Road to the Underworld from the Netherworld, and the Red Spider Lily grows on the Road to the Underworld.

Both the pirate crew's name and this ornament seem to suggest that the people of Wangchuan are not traitors, and that they still miss the Other Shore Flower Pirate Crew.

This seems like a good omen.

Tomorrow, we'll take a spaceship, and then have Ella pilot the Enron to come along.

……

"Commander, do you think she might be someone sent by Vesa?"

The captain shook his head: "I think it's unlikely. If Vesa wants to fight pirates, no matter how you look at it, it's impossible for them to list us as their first choice."

"Could they be people sent by those three gangs of scoundrels in the park?"

"That's hard to say. But as long as they're not from the Imperial government, even if it's a pirate crew from Paradise trying to take advantage of us, I'll make sure they get a taste of their own medicine!"

Commander, you're awesome!

"Take them to Mina Star first, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Ah."

……

Nine o'clock the next morning.

Anran, Heloise, and Aurora met as planned at the airport near Dessett.

Many people went to Mina Star this time. After seeing a few familiar faces, An Ran understood why. Mina Star was quite close to the points marked on the Mechanical Church's mission map, and there were quite a few people who shared her thoughts.

The spaceship they were on wasn't operated by a civilian airline under the Imperial Ministry of Transportation. Civilian airlines don't go to the North; flights that dare to go there are all run by private companies. These private companies actually have some official connections, otherwise they wouldn't be able to live so comfortably. Moreover, upon closer examination, they also have some unclear and ambiguous relationships with the major pirate groups along the route.

At 11:00 AM sharp, the spacecraft took off on time.

Sitting in the private room reserved by Anran, Aurora looked out the window with a bit of unease.

These two must be rich to be able to buy so many things in the shopping district. Ever since the princess "disappeared," she, her friends, and the leader have been living on a shoestring budget.

"Have a drink." An Ran pushed a glass of beverage towards her.

Aurora carefully caught it in her hand: "Thank you."

The transparent glass contained a blue liquid. Although the color looked strange at first glance, upon closer inspection, it was actually a dreamy hue, and it even smelled pleasant...

Suck.

Aurora finished her drink quickly.

That's good... drink...

Uh.

It fell over.

She slammed her head on the glass table, thankfully without getting a bump, but even if she had, Anran could have pressed it back down.

"She really drank it?" Heloise was surprised.

He drank that strange liquid in one gulp without any hesitation.

If he falls down like that, wouldn't he be completely at An Ran's mercy?

So, who is the real pirate?

The hammer held by the hand hidden under the table was stored in the subspace.

Anran's original idea was that if Aurora didn't drink the Sleeping Blue Tea, she would use a fast (physical) hypnosis method to help Aurora enter a "sleep" state.

After treating all the wounds, when Aurora woke up, he lied to her and said it was all a dream, when in fact he didn't feel any headache at all.

If she were exposed, An Ran planned to use force directly.

Fortunately, Aurora was cooperative.

Sigh, these days pharmaceutical companies don't care at all. It's not easy to fool people if they make a blue medicine.

An Ran stood up and walked to Aurora. The reason she knocked Aurora unconscious was not to do anything to her. An Ran didn't even touch her body. She just took off her bracelet and then put something inside it.

Then they stuck some tiny little things onto Aurora's ornaments and earrings.

After that, I pretended to be asleep...

They put Aurora in the bag and shook her up.

"It seems we're almost at Mina Planet," Aurora said.

"Mmm." An Ran stretched.

Aurora looked at the two glasses on the table with blue liquid residue and felt a pang of nostalgia for the taste.

I was so tired that I fell asleep just now. Luckily, nothing unexpected happened.

……

Two hours later, the spaceship successfully docked at the only spaceport on Mina Star.

As soon as she stepped off the spaceship, Aurora eagerly asked, "What brings you to Mina?"

"Do the task."

"Mission? Which mission..."

"Oh, what a coincidence! I never expected to meet you again. It's such a wonderful coincidence."

A short man suddenly rushed over from the side, interrupting Aurora's question with a look of surprise.

"..."

"Damn it, why are you running?" The skinny old man frowned and walked over, forcefully pulling the short man along.

The shorter man immediately became displeased: "What are you doing? Didn't you see I was greeting them?"

"You..." Old Gao really wanted to slap his old friend to death.

You forgot what you said just yesterday? What a pig-brain!

“Let’s go,” Anran said to Aurora.

"it is good."

The short man's gaze made Aurora very uncomfortable.

Before Ella even arrived at Mina Star, Anran wasn't in a hurry to do anything else. She decided to take a stroll first. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist slapping that short guy.

"Hey……"

The shorter man tried to catch up, but Old Gao increased the pressure: "What do you want to do? Have you forgotten what I said yesterday?"

"I'll just go say hello..."

"You've already greeted them, but if they don't want to talk to you, why are you still going to follow them? This is Mina Star. If you get beaten up or killed here, you won't have anywhere to appeal," Old Gao scolded.

"It's not that serious," the short man said, pursing his lips.

"Their strength is at least G40 or higher. Do you think you can afford to mess with them?"

"Isn't there still you..."

Old Gao snorted coldly: "If you're courting death, don't drag me into it."

"Hey, we grew up together, how can you say that?"

"..."

Old Gao clenched his fist, remembering how he had eaten rice from this family when he was starving, and finally held back: "If you want me to help you, then don't be reckless. This place is not like Crete."

"Yes, yes, yes," the short man readily agreed. "You're even more annoying than when my dad was alive."

"..."

If I were your dad, I should have shot you onto the wall back then.

With a sigh, Lao Gao said, "Let's go, let's rent a spaceship first, or if we can't rent one, we'll have to find a way to share a spaceship with other people."

……

Mina is indeed not as good as Crete.

The infrastructure here is extremely backward; you probably wouldn't find a single decent person living here.

This is a pack of wolves!

They smoke, drink, get perms, have tattoos, fight, and commit murder and robbery; they're clearly not good people.

"I need to use the restroom first," Aurora said.

Do you need me to come with you?

Aurora quickly waved her hand: "No need, no need."

I'll just be polite.

An Ran walked into the alley on her own, while Heloise stood guard at the intersection, clearing out those with ulterior motives.

"Commander, we have arrived at Mina Star and just got off the spaceship."

“Great. If we can repair the spaceship, we won’t have to stay in Kakori anymore.”

"They said they came to Mina Planet to do a mission."

"Task?"

"I don't know what the mission is either."

"We'll find out soon enough. Stay calm and don't reveal your identity. We urgently need a mechanic who can repair all these ships. The ones we found before were terrible. We can't delay any longer. We must find clues about the princess according to the instructions."

Huh?

An Ran was startled.

Instructions: Find clues to her?

What are these?
