Xu Sili was stunned when he heard the unfamiliar voice in the control room. Then he relaxed a bit after seeing Si Sheng’s still calm expression.
He had already subconsciously determined that he wouldn’t be in any danger as long as Si Sheng was here.
Outside the ship, the giant octopus called Nage, who had been keeping an eye on the magic ship, was now dancing with excitement.
“Ohhh, is that you? Is that you? Mike, is that you?”
As he spoke, the eight huge tentacles had already coiled around the magic ship, swaying left and right incoherently.
“Oh, dear little Nage, please calm down.” The strange voice sounded again.
This was the voice of an adult man, and it sounded very familiar to the giant octopus.
“If you keep shaking like this, your old friend will fall apart… Huh? How did you grow so big?”
As the giant octopus was shaking the magic ship, Si Sheng had already raised the protective shield to protect Xu Sili.
So no matter how the magic ship shook, it wouldn’t affect them.
Tears welled up in the giant octopus’ eyes when he heard ‘Little Nage’ again. “Wow, Mike, it is really you! You are alive again. I’m so happy!”
“Wow, I missed you so much…”
“I thought you died with Master, wu wu wu….”
The emotional giant octopus was sobbing, but his eight tentacles had released the magic ship and stopped shaking it.
“Oh, is the master dead?” The voice asked with a hint of sadness.
“Yes, why did you suddenly lose control?” Nage asked.
If the magic ship hadn’t suddenly lost control, his master wouldn’t have abandoned the ship and fled. Perhaps they could’ve returned to the mainland instead of sinking to the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years.
“I don’t know either.”
Mike said in a low voice, “I only remember that the master found a huge whirlpool and ordered me to run away quickly. As soon as I received the order, my eyes went black and I lost consciousness.”
“I think there must’ve been some unknown magnetic field in the whirlpool that interfered with my core.”
“Later when I woke up again, I was already at the bottom of the sea. My master was gone, and you were the only one left on the ship. I activated the protective shield and entered energy-saving mode.”
“It seems like I ran out of energy and fell into a deep sleep…”
“Oh, so it was you who protected me. Thank you, Mike,” the giant octopus said gratefully.
“You’re welcome…. Ohhhhhh!”
Mike suddenly became excited.
“It is a sea elf! Look, Little Nage, there is a sea elf in my control room!”
“Did you wake me up?”
The last sentence was obviously directed at Xu Sili and Si Sheng.
Xu Sili and Si Sheng looked at each other before Xu Sili replied, “Yes, I replenished the energy tank.”
“Haha, thank you so much!”
The voice asked, “But are you a sea elf? Why do you have the characteristics of the Roland imperial family?”
This feature should refer to silver hair and purple eyes, right? It seemed that this magic ship did belong to a member of the Roland imperial family.
Xu Sili immediately revealed his identity.
The voice suddenly became excited. “Ohhhh, did the master really obtain a sea elf?”
Xu Sili couldn’t help feeling confused.
He was forced to explain it. “No, I don’t have sea elf blood. I can only maintain this form with the blessing of the sea tree.”
Then he looked at the console and asked, “Your name is Mike? What are you?”
“Me? I am the control core of this magic ship.” Mike said.
“Control core?”
Xu Sili blinked. He thought that the ship had become a spirit and had a soul.
However, from the conversation between Nage and Mike, it could be known that Mike had existed a hundred years ago.
“That’s right, I am Mike, the control core of the magic ship, the Yangfan!”
The voice said with a sense of vigor.
“Haven’t you seen a core like me before?” Obviously, Mike heard Xu Sili’s confusion and surprise.
Xu Sili shook his head.
“Aren’t you the emperor of the Roland Empire? Aren’t there cores like me everywhere in the empire?”
If it wasn’t for the young man’s obvious silver hair and purple eyes, and the strong aura around the blond-haired man next to him, Mike would’ve doubted their true identities.
Xu Sili smiled bitterly. “The natural disaster a hundred years ago destroyed everything. Now Roland is the only nation left on the entire planet, and many inheritances have been cut off.”
He roughly understood what this control core was.
This was the intelligent AI on the magic side. It felt like Mike and Xiao Wu should have a lot of common topics.
The giant octopus outside also confirmed the horror of the natural disaster, and recounted how he had been trapped in the trench for a hundred years, only recently coming out.
Mike finally understood. “I see. That’s why you didn’t bind with the core authority right away.”
He hesitated for a moment before making a quick decision.
The control console, which was originally flat and without any marks, suddenly unfolded from the middle, revealing a spherical glowing ball.
“This is my body. Please place your hand on it and use your mental strength to bind the authority of this magic ship.”
Mike had just woken up and didn’t understand many things, let alone if the two people in front of him were lying. However, he was just a small core.
The previous master had passed away, so the right thing to do was to find a new master so that this magic ship could see the light of day again.
What’s more, silver hair and purple eyes were the characteristics of the imperial family, and Mike still served the Roland imperial family.
Xu Sili used Insight to take a look and found that this was indeed Mike’s core. His health was very low and he was fragile.
He didn’t refuse and gently placed his hand on it. Then under Mike’s guidance, he bound the authority of this magic ship.
From now on, he owned the magic ship.

The two of them had realized that it was probably impossible to get this magic ship.
Then under Mike’s guidance, Xu Sili continued to set the access rights of the magic ship.
Apart from the Roland imperial family, only Si Sheng and Nage were allowed to come in.
“Nage too…” Mike muttered quietly with obvious hesitation in his tone.
The big octopus heard it and asked in an aggrieved manner, “Can’t I go in?”
“You are too big now. I’ll be crushed by you.”
Mike complained mercilessly. “How did you get so big? You were only the size of a palm before.”
The despised Nage whimpered, turned his back and continued to gnaw on the sea beast.
Once Xu Sili bound the core permissions, he obtained some information about controlling the core, including how to operate it, what the core could do, etc.
Then he discovered that he could actually transfer his memories and knowledge directly to the core. This was much more convenient than an artificial intelligence.
So, he tried to pack up the memory of Roland’s current situation with his mental strength and passed it to Mike.
“Oh my god, is Roland so miserable now?”
“I am the only magic ship left?”
“Dear Miss Moria is missing too? She is the most beautiful ship I have ever seen…”
After receiving these memories, Mike knew the general situation of the Roland Empire a hundred years later without Xu Sili’s explanation. He couldn’t help screaming.
From his words, Xu Sili couldn’t help yearning for the powerful Roland Empire from a hundred years ago.
At that time, the Roland Empire had an entire navy with ten large magic ships, and countless other small and medium-sized magic ships.
Magic cores like Mike were precious, but there were still many of them. Now they were all gone.
It wasn’t known whether they were destroyed or sank to the bottom of the sea like Mike.
Xu Sili soon digested all the information about the core of the magic ship.
He hesitated for a moment before opening the energy slot again and stuffing another star core inside.
“Ohhhhh, I feel full of energy!” Then a figure slowly emerged in the control room.
It was an adult man with blue hair and blue eyes. He was around 30 years old, wore a butler’s uniform and looked handsome.
“The core of the Yangfan—Mike at your service, my dear master.”
The central core that appeared out of nowhere looked unusually steady, but his voice was still full of energy, making him seem very approachable.
Si Sheng’s eyes swept over the shadow and confirmed he posed no threat. Then he withdrew his mental strength, but he didn’t relax his vigilance.
Xu Sili was quite happy, as if he had obtained a novel toy he had never seen before.
“Master, the Yangfan has been repaired. Do you want to switch to submarine mode?” Mike inquired.
The magic ship was sailing on the sea when it was destroyed by a whirlpool and a group of sea beasts. Once he woke up again, he was severely damaged and there was no energy to waste repairing it.
Mike took action after getting Xu Sili’s consent. All the doors and windows of the magic ship started to close. Then the seawater in the cabin slowly drained out.
Xu Sili also regained his human form, which disappointed the giant octopus for a while.
Sea elves were still pretty!
Soon, all the seawater in the magic ship was drained. The wind magic circle embedded inside was activated, releasing breathable air.
Then the appearance of the magic ship started to change from a sea vessel to submarine mode. This was more suitable for diving on the seabed.
However, only the appearance of the magic ship was restored. A lot of the interior was still damaged since it wasn’t made of automatically repairable materials.
Even just like this, it was still great.
Xu Sili gave an order, asking Mike to control the magic ship to circle the seabed.
“Okay, let’s go now!”
Then the magic ship transformed into a submarine and quickly sailed again.
Lin Mu and Yufeng Zhuimeng were left confused.
D*mn, why did it run away all of a sudden?
