Chapter 714: The Ripped Mission That Completed Itself

[TN: Silver is Celecias s.h.i.+ps name.]

When a crew member sincerely hoped to encounter someone, Silver would never let them meet this person; when a crew member wished to take one more look at a certain place, Silver would never pa.s.s by that location.

As long as the individual was on the boat, he was bound to miss the people he wanted to see and the places he wanted to go.

This was a curse known as So Near Yet So Far.

However, if it was used in reverse, it could also serve as a sanctuary.

For example, Arthur sincerely hoped that he could become Gold Rank and return to the family to seize power. Hence, the power of Silver would make him avoid his own people;

Centaur Lucia wanted to find her own kind and return to the centaurs secluded habitat. As long as she was still on the Silver, she would never encounter any centaur, and she would never enter the centaurs secluded habitat.

When someone harbored a certain impulsive desire deep within, Silver would ensure they never had the chance to fulfill that wish.

For example, confessing to a girl who the individual knew didnt like him, a.s.sa.s.sinating an undefeatable enemy, or a wanted person returning to his hometown to meet his family, etc.

This was something many people would have: [self-destructing wish].

Therefore, Celecia was very selective in her crew members.

All the crew members she chose were losers with a strong desire to commit suicide.

If they didnt board Silver, the burning fire in their hearts would eventually destroy their lives.

As long as they were on Silver, they would never take the next step.

It was a hindrance and a restraint.

Celecia believed that it was also a kind of salvation.

The s.h.i.+p made them stay away from those dangerous wishes, lying dormant in the dark where no one could find them, quietly acc.u.mulating strength and honing their will.

In fact, even Celecia was one of the people saved by Silver.

Of course, Celecia wanted to see the teacher again from the bottom of her heart. This was her most sincere wish.

However, her rationality also told her clearly What if she got to see him?

What was the point of meeting the teacher?

Did her teacher still need her?

She knew that her teacher was also a Gold Rank transcender, and even the former leader of Winters Hand, proficient in intelligence gathering and a.n.a.lysis. If he truly wanted to find her, the window of time when she arrived at each destination and left Silver would have been enough to make contact with her.

Since the teacher didnt come to look for her, it meant that he didnt need her.

That was a rather optimistic guess.

Another thought that lurked in her heart was she might have been abandoned.

In the Winter Insurgents plan so far, she seemed to have reached the end. All the roles Celecia could play have been exhausted. Even she herself didnt know what else she could do for the teacher.

The teacher didnt even give her a mission again.

Would it mean that she was no longer needed?

Even if she had become Gold Rank?

Even if she was no longer the weak and powerless Th.o.r.eau Nick?

Even if she had obtained such a beautiful body?

So, was her existence meaningless?

Once she delved deep into this issue, she couldnt help but shudderfurther contemplation could even shatter her entire worldview that she had held until now.

The reason why she was willing to accept Silvers curse at that time was just because she wanted to deceive herself.

If she attributed her inability to see her teacher entirely to the Silver, it seemed to make the teacher appear less ruthless. She could also temporarily forget her wishunattainable desires were meaningless.

However, it was only a fantasy.

But, things became different.

Perhaps it was because she was sucked into the nightmare of the Otherworldly Level that her connection with Silver was severed? Only then could she make contact with His Majesty Annan? Only then could she have the opportunity to fulfill her wish.

No doubt? All of these were the arrangements of fate.

But with such thoughts, a nightmarish notion began to surface within her, irremovable from the depths of her heart:

Is it possible that the curse of this s.h.i.+p is really so strong that even the teacher cant get around it? Maybe the teacher has been looking for me a long time ago? Was he stopped by the curse of this s.h.i.+p?

It was like that moment when a person unexpectedly realized,

d.a.m.n

, when did my phone die? followed by the sudden fear of, Did I miss any important calls while it was dead?especially when that call was important, and the phone had been turned off for several years already.

What if thats the case? Did I not miss the opportunity?

Even knowing that her reasoning was highly irresponsible it was almost akin to actively abandoning her crew.

However, Celecia didnt want to miss this opportunity either.

Our Silver Brigade sails with dreams as fuel and dreams as the destination.

Celecia said earnestly, And now? I think Im close to my dream. I must go to the Austere-Winter Dukedom. If this trip goes smoothly, my wish will be fulfilled But if it doesnt go well, I probably wont make it back alive.

If any of you still want to continue this journey of chasing dreams? I will transfer the captains position to him now.

She was upfront with her intention.

No matter what, she wouldnt be coming back.

Then, the Silver Brigade, which was united only by her charm, should be disbanded.

Ill stay. Give me the Silver.

Unexpectedly, the only one who spoke was Orpheus holding the golden harp amidst the silence.

At this moment, all the crew members even Arthur looked over in surprise.

They all knew among these crew members, in truth, only Orpheus had genuinely fallen in love with Celecia.

Arthurs feelings for Celecia were almost like mutually supportive comrades-in-arms, while Euphemias affection for Celecia was that of friends who shared the same origins and paths, and Lucias was a kind of confidence and reliance on the captain.

But did Orpheus really abandon his right to inherit the throne? He secretly followed Silver and ran out he was really here for Celecia.

But now, he chose to stay on Silver.

Orpheus silently strummed the harp strings a few times. This black-haired man with amber eyes then gazed at Ceresia with his gentle look.

Ill dock Silver underground in Austere-Winter. If, in the end, you Ill come to pick you up. When that time comes, Ill hand the captains role back over to you.

It sounded somewhat ominous and a little humble.

However, Celecia just looked at him and nodded slowly.

For the first time, a look of reluctance and confusion appeared in her eyes, Im sorry, Orpheus. I

I understand. Orpheus took a deep breath and interrupted her.

In his amber-colored pupils, there was no sadness. On the contrary, they were gentle and bright, If I had such an opportunity, I would leave too.

I dont think So Near Yet So Far is a curse, its more like a trial. A trial that gives people the courage to give up everything and chase their dreams.

I dont have that courage now, but I hope I will in the future.

Then, I will stay with Orpheus. The centaur girl lowered her head and said softly, I dont want to meet strangers

I think Ill leave.

Arthur and Euphemia looked at each other and said without hesitation, I will travel with Her Excellency Absolver until She finds Her pope, and then I will start building a Defiance Church for her.

What he meant was clear.

Even if he couldnt be a pope, he still wanted to be a cardinal.

Euphemia quickly understood what he meant and said quickly, Me too.

But, I probably wont be going back to Austere-Winter so soon

Absolver tilted her head in slight distress.

At this moment, Longjing Tea blurted, Miss Celecia, if you want to go to the Austere-Winter Dukedom, you might as well come with us.

We are Annan Austere-Winters most trusted confidants. The reason why we came to Elegy Dukedom is because the Grand Duke wants to see you.

Although he didnt understand the complex love and hatred involved, he did grasp that Celecia wanted to see Annan.

What the h.e.l.l! Did the main mission come alive?

After leaving the mission aside, the arrest target comes forward on their own, asking to be arrested.

Did money start falling from the sky?

What is this called?

The ripped main mission that completes itself
