995 "Conjoined Person" (2/2)

”Yes.”

Cattleya turned her head to look at the building's main door and said after some thought, ”I actually planned on using Beyonder powers to infiltrate and bring Cielf under control in the fastest speed possible before taking him away to prevent any accidents. But from the looks of it, the best solution is to knock on the door.”

Unknown danger was what terrified people the most.

At the thought that he had been busy with his experiments recently and hadn't done his duty as first mate, Frank Lee hurriedly said, ”Captain, I'll go with you.”

Cattleya took off her thick glasses and hung them by her waist of her black warlock robe before nodding.

”Okay.”

With that said, she left the shadowy corner and walked towards the main door of Cielf s residence.

As she approached, she looked up at the crimson moon that could be seen penetrating through the clouds. She curled her fingers and tapped thrice on the door.

Before long, footsteps approached and the door creaked open.

Cielf didn't show any obvious changes from the previous time. He remained thin and dark. His eyes were somewhat puffy, and his brown eyes were trying hard to force a smile.

”Admiral, is there something this time?”

He stood by the door, blocking the gas wall lamp's light behind him. It made the area appear dark and gloomy, as though he was sinking into the shadows.

Cattleya stared at him for a few seconds before saying slowly, ”I have a new idea. I plan on making you a part of my crew.”

She stood there motionlessly without any intention of stepping inside.

Cielf s expression warped as his voice turned somewhat dark.

”Why?”

Cattleya's eyes seemed to freeze as she slowly said, ”Because I'm a pirate.”

Pirates didn’t need reasons. They did whatever they did out of their own desires.

Cielf s facial muscles twitched as a smile suffused his eyes once again.

”I can be your sailor, but as an Artisan, I'll be of much greater use in a city.”

”I agree,” Cattleya destroyed his resistance. ”But before then, I need you to spend some time on the Future to be partners with others.”

Cielf s expression gradually turned cold as he replied in an ethereal voice, ”I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself. I have a strong urge to procreate every day...”

”Strong urge to procreate?” Frank Lee's eyes lit up as he asked, seemingly in confirmation.

Cielf was taken aback as he wasn't sure whether to nod or shake his head.

Frank then looked at Cattleya and asked in excitement, ”Captain, is he going to be my assistant for my experiments?

”I love this trait of his!”

Cattleya fell silent for a few seconds before nodding heavily.

”Yes.”

Frank immediately revealed a bright smile and offered his right hand to Artisan Cielf.

”Pleasure to meet you. Let me introduce myself. First mate of the Future, Frank Lee.”

Cielf s expression returned to normal as he shook the man's hand with puzzlement. Then, he said, ”Am I really going to spend a short period of time on the Future?”

”I guarantee it with my reputation on the line,” Cattleya sincerely replied before inwardly adding, It wouldn't take long before Her Majesty personally handles you...

”Alright. It's not like I can beat you.” Cielf shrugged. ”Please permit me to pack my personal belongings.”

He then took two steps back, turned around, and walked to the staircase at the end of the foyer.

As he walked, he suddenly paused and said in an ethereal tone to Cattleya and Frank Lee, ”Today's moonlight is as beautiful as it always has been, isn't it?”

Without receiving a reply, he proceeded forward and vanished from the staircase.

At this moment, Cattleya's heavy expression became obvious.

After Cielf opened the door, she had already noticed an abnormality with her eyes.

In the past, Cielf's Spirit Body was that of an ordinary human, but now, he was a conjoined person!

Under the illumination of the moonlight, this ”conjoined person” was being nourished and was rapidly growing stronger.

This isn't a problem I can resolve. I have to write to Her Majesty. Also, I mustn't forget Gehrman Sparrow's request for a meeting... Cattleya sighed silently as she subconsciously looked up.

High in the sky, a crimson moon remained bright and silent amidst the thin clouds.

Dwayne Dantes and Macht got off their separate carriages and entered the lobby together.
