Poverty makes me capable of anything.

As her aura grows, An Ran will gradually become the game's designated version boss. Before she is overthrown by the players, her luck will be better than ever before as she gets involved in the "main storyline".

This level is definitely higher than the Visa one.

"Now you know why, right?" Ailey looked at Anran, who had just opened her eyes.

An Ran nodded silently.

The lost part of her memory is probably not closely related to Ereshki. If it is related, it is the part before she left Lushen Star, which is somewhat vague and probably not important.

An Ran vaguely felt that most of her lost memories might be related to Juliana of the Other Shore Flower Pirate Crew, but since her memories had disappeared, there was no way to verify it.

Eresh was referring to the plan they had come up with together.

In order to rise rapidly, the pirate princess borrowed the power of the void, and thus became the thirteenth coordinate that helped the void locate itself.

To escape this identity, the only option is to give up the body.

If it weren't for a minor incident in the middle, the final result would probably have been that the pirate princess committed suicide, and the Other Shore Pirates, which had already aroused the anger of the Empire, the Star Alliance, and the Star Circle, would have fled far away under Juliana's leadership.

This is a pretty good result for everyone.

Unfortunately, some people were overcome by lust.

During the campaign against the Holy Church, a vice-commander of the Royal Knights, as his understanding of the Void deepened, began to see the Void as a potential asset.

He pursued the twelve coordinates artificially created by the Holy Church, and also set his sights on Anran.

This is the most powerful coordinate system, and the void it can guide will also be the strongest void!

The Royal Knights were eager to make their move; the Hidden Flower Pirates were no match for them.

To avoid arousing his suspicion, Eresh and the pirate princess orchestrated a scheme to betray Tuanzi. During the pursuit, the pirate princess was defeated and self-destructed.

Everything returned to dust, and the pirate princess didn't even leave behind ashes.

They've all disappeared.

The collective response of the twelve coordinates of the Holy Church has disappeared, which means that the Pirate Princess no longer exists in the world.

"Because of my great contributions to the rebellion, I joined the Royal Knights' reserve team. After the deputy commander's authority was transferred, I was officially transferred to the Royal Knights. Later, I made many contributions in the fight against the Holy Church and the elimination of Star Alliance spies. During the last replacement battle, I was qualified as a candidate and, by a twist of fate, became the deputy commander of the Royal Knights."

"These people from the Holy Church were deliberately released by the Royal Knights because the Mechanic Guild didn't want to see this old rival anymore, so the Royal Knights cooperated in staging a play."

An Ran raised an eyebrow.

"So, the Ninth Expeditionary Force and the Royal Knights also have connections?"

Eresh nodded, making no attempt to hide anything and showing no concern that revealing the secrets of the Royal Knights was a grave offense: "The newly formed Ninth Expeditionary Force has people planted by the Royal Knights."

“Those reformers…” An Ran thought of Aoki’s drastically different attitudes before and after.

“The real power behind the reformers is the Royal Knights.” A mocking look appeared on Eresh’s face. “Although that deputy commander has stepped down, there are more and more ambitious people in the Royal Knights. It’s no longer as principled as it seems.”

That certainly sounds right.

An Ran thought of the old man she met when she first arrived on Aixing; he had great respect for the Royal Knights.

However, it is still quite common for an organization to deviate from its original purpose and become corrupt.

An Ran glanced at Ai Leixi.

Just like Irexi, she's saying things that are half true and half false now!

On the surface, she seemed very welcoming of An Ran's return, as if she wanted to hug An Ran tightly and reminisce about their past camaraderie.

In reality, how much of the emotion she displayed was genuine, and how much was feigned?

This is thanks to the news brought by Vesa. Eresh had plenty of intelligence, but she hadn't anticipated how this situation would develop.

Perhaps it was Vesa's aura of destiny that played a role.

According to the information Visa had, Ereshki had already served in the Royal Knights before heading to Lushen Star to help the pirate princess.

If this is true.

What Elise just said is completely unreliable.

Her identity is highly questionable, her motives for helping An Ran, and everything she did in the Other Shore Flower Pirate Gang are all highly questionable.

Why?

That lustful deputy commander might just be referring to Ereshki herself.

Originally, I wanted to help clear Ai Leixi's name, but upon closer inspection, I realized it was a bit difficult and I would need to add a few more spoonfuls of scouring powder.

If the information Visar obtained was merely fabricated to dilute the traitorous label on Ereshki, then...

An Ran felt that there was no way to prove it.

She has always lived cautiously, never hesitating to speculate with the utmost malice about the intentions of "people she is not so familiar with".

Therefore, regardless of whether the information is true or false, An Ran has already become suspicious of Ai Leixi.

"What's wrong?" Irene asked.

"It's nothing," An Ran shook her head, "I just feel very happy to see you again."

Ella immediately pouted.

I'm not happy!

Chapter 39 Safe and Sound

This "big" woman clearly has a close relationship with An Ran.

But as the person closest to Anran, Ella discovered that she knew nothing about this "big" woman.

I felt very wronged.

Poor.

An Ran's heart skipped a beat when she caught that look in his eyes.

Although Ella doesn't cause trouble verbally, her increasingly expressive and adorable facial expressions are still irresistible.

At the same time, Ella was also thinking that the dark-skinned loli An Qianqian's constant talk about wanting to become a curvy, sexy woman actually made some sense.

Although Anran herself is also flat-chested, women with high breasts do attract more attention.

The key now is to keep Ailey calm, so Anran doesn't have time to comfort the upset Ella.

"What made you suddenly decide to stand up and meet with me now?" An Ran asked.

There must be a reason why they chose this time of day to go out, whether it was early or late.

Eresh maintained her smile: "On one hand, it's because I was on a mission, hunting down members of the Holy Church; on the other hand, I discovered that your growth rate far exceeded my expectations, so there's no point in hiding it any longer."

An Ran nodded thoughtfully.

"Anran, what are your plans next?" Aileishi asked.

“What other plans do we have?” An Ran shrugged. “Even if I recover some of my strength, it’s still far from enough for me to deal with the Royal Knights. I can only put aside my hatred for now, develop in secret, and see if there’s an opportunity when the empire is in chaos.”

Eresh wholeheartedly agreed: "This is probably the safest approach. The Royal Knights are a very complex force; they have several Grandmaster-level experts. Trying to cause them trouble without breaking through to the Grandmaster level would be foolish. Now that you've successfully escaped the Void, you can hide away and focus on improving your strength. Judging from the current situation, the Empire will likely descend into chaos in a few years, but..."

Eresh sighed, full of regret: "This means we can't be together anymore. After all, I still serve in the Royal Knights. It's been so many years since we last met, and the thought of parting again soon makes my heart ache."

“With me by Anran’s side, you don’t need to worry!” Ella suddenly said in a soft, childlike voice.

An Ran's eyes twitched. "Ella, you didn't used to speak like this!"

Eresh had absolutely no idea about this.

She nodded slightly: "That's right, with this little friend to keep you company, you won't be too lonely."

kid?

Ella was unhappy.

What kid!

I know a lot!

I understand all the things you understand. As long as Anran has me, that's enough!

This shameless "big" woman always has a smiling expression; she doesn't look like a good person at all!

Eresh didn't pay too much attention to Ella's performance.

His strength has recovered considerably, and he has also regained most of his memories.

Having just arrived in TNA330, Eresh isn't in a hurry to go back yet.

So, on the following day, braving the raging floods outside, Eresh led Anran and Ella on a journey back to their old path, constantly reenacting the deep sisterly bond that had been separated for eight or nine years.

Anran was completely confused.

It's not that she's incapable.

Why must one endure?

Eresh's "bear hug" is truly terrifying!

This woman seemed carefree, but from what I remember, she was actually quite shrewd.

She has a somewhat regal appearance, but her generally gentle and graceful demeanor, coupled with her ever-present kind smile, makes her incredibly deceptive.

A day later, Eresh had to say goodbye to Anran because she had to go back to report.

"I'm already in a time warp, you don't need to do this."

An Ran was forced back into her familiar surroundings, and her speech became incoherent.

"Waaaaah~ I can't bear to part with you!"

“( ????`)”

Ella stared intently.

"Don't get agitated!"

Whether it was acting or a genuine outpouring of emotion, the Royal Knights would probably have their eyes pop out if they saw their deputy commander like that.

"I'll come to see you whenever I have time."

"Come if you want," An Ran said, "Let go first."
