Chapter 141 - 116: Embarrassing Situation

"My Lord, we’ve returned to Seagull City."

Ed’s steady voice sounded in Lin Lan’s ear. The boy leaning against the wall groggily opened his eyes, feeling a heavy weight on his chest.

At some point, Eleanor had clung onto him, tightly wrapping her arms around Lin Lan’s waist, while resting her head against the boy’s chest.

"Hehehe, Lin Lan First Mate, go and scrub the deck for me..."

The Doragon people were still talking in their sleep, and turning his head, he could see Lucia tightly clutching Eleanor’s thick tail, equally deep in slumber.

These two pirates really didn’t care about their image at all...

Lin Lan, a bit helpless, pushed away the drooling face. He stood up straight and noticed Ed sitting motionlessly at the core driver seat in the control area.

Ed tightly gripped the joystick, focusing intently on the screen before him, his steady back inexplicably giving Lin Lan the impression of an experienced long-distance driver...

More than twenty Sun Warriors lined the corridors on both sides, looking quite exhausted, having just gone through the fierce battle at the Royal City, struggling even to hold their weapons.

Having taken a rare short nap, Lin Lan managed to slightly regain his energy.

He approached Ed, casting his gaze towards the screen.

The sky had turned to evening, and the port remained crowded, with several moth drones capturing every detail along the coastline.

"So many ships, Dean is back too..."

Lin Lan stared at the bustling port in a daze, slightly furrowing his brows: "But having so many ships crowded on the sea isn’t a good thing, Seagull Port obviously can’t bear this burden."

"You don’t need to worry about this, my lord, those gathered at the dock are mostly small and medium cargo ships, and the majority are bronze-level sailors."

Ed made an accurate judgment at a glance: "Charles will handle the business details."

"As for those planning to make trouble..."

His tone turned sinister, with ’they’re all just rabble’ practically written on his face: "Tomorrow morning, I’ll personally teach them what the rules of Seagull City are."

Ed deliberately maneuvered the Shattered Star to circle above the dock, and the effect was remarkably effective, instantly quietening the bustling dock and bringing order.

Scaring that troublemaking man was, after all, no coincidence, as Duke wasn’t even the first to cause trouble at the dock.

Moments later, the Shattered Star landed smoothly.

Lin Lan opened the hatch, only to find Charles and Bai, accompanied by a group of mechanical servants, already waiting in the mansion’s backyard.

Without waiting for Lin Lan to instruct, Bai took the initiative to step into the control area, expertly picking up the sleeping Doragon and the tiny witch.

Charles, meanwhile, locked his gaze on the ’Night Owl Hunter’ behind Lin Lan.

"I must say, you can always surprise me, Lord Lin Lan..."

He expressed his sincere admiration: "Who would have thought the Imperial elite would be dreaming machines?"

"You indeed already know what’s happening in the Royal City."

Lin Lan smiled, the role of Sun Mine already showing its effects.

The Ark was undoubtedly on the right track!

"Yes, thanks to your magical methods, those carrying duties would meet at the Ash Soil mine site at regular intervals."

Charles and Ed exchanged glances, speaking solemnly: "Everyone won’t miss such an impeccable means of extraordinary communication."

Lin Lan nodded, noticing Charles also had dark circles under his eyes.

Even after achieving an unprecedented victory, everyone still seemed quite disheveled, with traces of blood on everyone in the Shattered Star, as if they had just crawled out of a pile of corpses.

"Let’s take the warriors to rest at the newly built barracks first."

Lin Lan wasted no time, issuing instructions to Ed.

"Lord Lin Lan, I..."

Charles seemed like he wanted to report something but swallowed his words seeing the blood on the Lord’s body: "I won’t disturb your rest."

"Wait for me in the conference room of the office building, Charles."

Lin Lan shook his head, speaking seriously: "I’ll come over after I clean up."

"Yes, my lord." Charles visibly sighed with relief and hurried off.

Lin Lan watched their backs, as the mansion became momentarily tranquil.

The boy turned around, seeing the mechanical girl still holding the two pirates, her pure white eyes fixed intently on his own.

For some reason, Lin Lan felt she was a bit angry...

Was it because he didn’t bring her on this journey...

"Lord Lin Lan!!"

In the next instant, a small figure already eagerly ran over, grabbing Lin Lan’s hand covered in blood without hesitation.

"You’re very hurt!"

The little maid looked up, her big eyes full of urgency.

"Don’t worry, this is the enemy’s blood!"

Lin Lan crouched down, patting the muscles on his arm: "I beat up those villains who bullied you before!"

The gray-haired boy began making faces, coaxing the little maid into laughter with just a few words.

Little Lisa chirped away, the mixed-blood little witch starting to boast about her role as the doll head, narrating how she overcame numerous challenges, starting as a ’group leader’, and ultimately earning the title of ’child class president’.

Lin Lan listened in shock, repeatedly exclaiming praise at the thrilling experiences.
