    Isana smiled cheerfully, and as if she suddenly remembered something, she patted my arm: "That's right, His Majesty the Emperor, have you heard about the ghost ship?"

    "Ghost ship?" I was stunned by the fishy girl's question, and then I immediately thought of her race and nodded clearly, "Oh, you mean the kind that drifts on the sea with no trace, tattered and uninhabited.  The legend of the old antique ship you drive, right? There are quite a lot of human legends about ghost ships. Do you mermaids care about this too? Could it be that you built those ships?"

    "No, it's not that kind of ghost ship." Isana has a habit of flicking her tail when she's anxious, so I heard her patting the floor, "Although when I was a kid, I liked going to sunken ships.  Treasure hunt Hey, it has nothing to do with this. I'm talking about a very popular legend in the macro world recently. It is said that an imperial warship that was withdrawn from the battlefield fell behind. The generals and soldiers on the spaceship were missing, and the spaceship was lost.  Under the control of the host, it floated back to the Empire Zone. Because it could not find a port, it kept floating around in various universes and became a ghost ship. Occasionally, people traveling in the interstellar saw that huge spaceship. They  The ghost ship seems to be dead. There is only a little light all over the body, and the engine is dim as if it is about to go out. There are tatters and scars everywhere on the spacecraft. If you are close enough, you can even see inside through the cracked holes.  A dark corridor. But no one can board the ship because no one dares to get close to it, and the ghost ship always disappears suddenly, as if the spacecraft host is still trying to find a military port. Many people say they have seen that  Ships, especially the old crew members of the caravans that transport supplies for the servant army, all say that they have encountered ghost ships, but most of them have no evidence, so they are probably bragging."

    Isana told the story of the ghost ship with great interest. At first, I paid more attention, thinking that this was some important information, but in the end I slowly realized: this is basically a space version of Sailor Adventure.  It's like those old sailors in the days of sailing blowing alcohol and bragging to people in port bars.  In the past, those superstitious old sailors always liked to use sea monsters and ghost ships to flaunt their adventures, but now those bored sailors traveling among the stars have more advanced talking points: interstellar ghost ships, and even void ghost ships.

    This story is quite creative in terms of creativity: they directly used the Imperial warship as the background of the story, which is definitely a popular gimmick.  In the eyes of most civilians in Macroworld and the Familia, imperial warships are almost a legend, especially large spaceships. Most people have only seen those behemoths in brochures and on screens.  They longed for those powerful imperial machines, just like a sixteenth-century inland boy longed for a sailing battleship with a 55-meter mast and 18-pound guns, but the giant ship would not cruise in the village, and 80 to 90 percent of the people would not  There was no chance to go to the Imperial station to see what the Eternal class looked like, and many people would never even go to space in their lifetime, so they waited for the old crew members who had been in space or even traveled across the world to return to the surface, mixing alcohol and adrenaline in the tavern.  Together they made up the ghost ship story and it became popular.

    Isana immediately realized that I wasn¡¯t paying much attention to this story. I heard another snapping sound coming from under her chair: this was the fish girl flicking her tail again, and she looked at me unhappily.  : "Ghost ships are not necessarily fake, right? Although some people must be bragging, there are legends of ghost ships in dozens of worlds recently!"

    "The imperial warship got lost? And then the navigation host could be turned on but couldn't lead the way? In the end, it was still wandering around in the imperial area?" I laughed dumbly, "What's more, no outpost has detected the signal of this active spaceship? It's not me.  To ruin your fairy tale, this is really impossible - there are several sets of backup navigation systems on our spacecraft, and there is a 'catastrophic damage determination agreement' between each other. If all navigation equipment fails,  The spacecraft will immediately jump into a stable universe and lock the engine. This is to prevent the spacecraft from flying into enemy-occupied areas without navigation, causing intelligence leakage. In addition, all the officers and soldiers on the spacecraft are missing. I will update  If you don't believe me, the Imperial Army has a clear operational procedure for 'abandoning ship and evacuating'. Unless all soldiers died in the spaceship before evacuation, the military will not let a ship be 'lost' like this, or it will be recovered immediately.  Either the spacecraft is destroyed by other friendly forces before it is captured, or the captain blows up the spacecraft before evacuating. Anyway, we will not let a ship just drift out of sight. In addition - the identification signal transmitter on the spacecraft is as strong as a black box.  If there really is a ghost ship, the local empire outpost would have discovered it long ago."

    Isana listened to my explanation blankly, and lowered her head in frustration: "Why do your technicians not save face for their dreams?"

    Me: "" This involves the outcome of a war of national interest. Can we save face?

    "But it's trueThe others all run away as soon as they finish eating, and I don¡¯t bother to care about them. Most of them are playing hide-and-seek with the mini-Medivians in the yard: they are keen on this recently.

    Qianqian spent a long time looking at the information about the ghost ship, but soon lost interest in it. She threw the data terminal aside, turned on the TV and switched channels. After searching for a long time, she finally found a  An interesting program: a foreign translated documentary about the living habits of foxes.

    After eating and drinking, Master Fox Fairy, who was taking a nap next to me, suddenly became energetic. He listened to the TV with his ears. He watched the TV briefly for a while, and suddenly his mind opened up: "Arjun, Arjun,  What do you think the fox calls?"

    When I thought about it, I thought that this is a really difficult question to answer. It seems that not many people have heard what a fox barks - of course, if you want to say it is "Da Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng", then it is a waste of time.  ¡ª¡ªWhat exactly is the sound of a fox barking?

    Just this question completely drove out all the messy things like ghost ships from my mind. I frowned and thought about it for a long time, until a big golden tail playfully wrapped around my neck, and suddenly I realized: next to me  Isn¡¯t there a fox?

    "You can't blame me for reacting slowly. The main reason is that the fox fairy has the shape of a girl except for the ears and tail. Even though she was lying next to her, I didn't connect Qian Qian's question with her for a moment.

    "Fox, what do you usually call me?" I patted Lord Fox Fairy's tail.

    The demon fox girl looked at me in confusion, hesitated for a moment before speaking cautiously: "Wow! ¡û¡ûIs this like this?"

    I was suffocated: "I asked you how the fox barks, but I didn't ask you how the human form barks!"

    The second big tail slapped me in the face, and the demon fox girl stretched lazily: "I haven't barked for more than a thousand years. I forgot about it."
