Just as Tang Yuan was preparing the first order issued by Sun He.
“Report, there is something I need to report to Captain Sun.” Secretary Officer Qiao Rong Rong approached Sun He.
“What is it?”
“The elf women you brought back just now are clamoring to leave. So we came to ask for your instructions.” Qiao Rong Rong reported.
Sheril and the others wanted to leave?
Sun He frowned slightly. Sheril was a very good engineer, and if he could keep her on the Qing Yuan, it would be a great asset.
“Bring them to the bridge.” Sun He said.
“Yes.”
A few minutes later, Sheril and the other elf women were brought to the bridge.
“Captain Sun He.” Sheril greeted Sun He politely after seeing him.
Judy, on the other hand, looked at the bridge in front of her, shook her head and said: “Your human technology is still inferior to our elves.
The technological level of this starship is too backward, it’s almost obsolete in our elf territory.”
Judy's unreserved words caused some of the surrounding space female soldiers to feel disgusted.
“Judy!” Sheril reprimanded Judy for her recklessness.
Sheril apologized to Sun He: “I'm sorry, Judy is being rude.”
“It’s alright.” Sun He didn't care, because what Judy said was actually true.
T1-level technological weapons may be considered quite good in some small star systems, but now even the main forces in the Milky Way galaxy are starting to equip themselves with T2 series weapons.
And some stronger galaxy civilizations have already fully developed to the level of T3 technological civilization.
The Qing Yuan, a T1 light carrier starship, was indeed outdated.
“I heard you're in a hurry to leave? Why is that?” Sun He curiously asked.
Sheril hesitated and said: “We… we don't want to cause any trouble for Captain Sun He.”
Sun He could tell there was a story behind this.
He asked: “Before on W38 planet, it wasn’t appropriate to ask. But now W38 is under a beast tide, it’s impossible to send you back.
And you saved me, you owe me a favor, so can you tell me what kind of problems you encountered.
You are an elf, and you are called an elf princess by them, normally you shouldn’t become a refugee, right?”
Sheril bit her lower lip, still looking hesitant.
“I hope you can tell me. We are friends. If you have any problems, maybe I can help you.” Sun He asked again.
Finally, Sheril loosened her fist. She looked up, a hint of sadness in her beautiful eyes: “Captain Sun He, have you ever heard of the Hui Ye Elves?”
Hui Ye Elves?
Sun He looked puzzled.
Qiao Rong Rong, who was beside him, quickly brought up a document for Sun He, and introduced it to him.
The Hui Ye Elves are one of the ten major tribes of the Elves, they possess many star systems, and they are very prosperous.
However, three years ago, the Hui Ye Elves erupted in civil war. The nobility class, under the guise of the high-ranking officials being incompetent, overthrew the original ruling class.
The civil war then lasted for two and a half years, and eventually the nobility class took control of the present Hui Ye Elves.
The royal family of the Hui Ye Elves were said to have been wiped out.
“Are you the princess of the Hui Ye Elves, a member of the royal family!” Sun He quickly figured out Sheril's identity after seeing this information.
Sheril nodded. She formally introduced herself: “I am Sheril Hui Ye, the princess of the royal family of the Hui Ye Elves, and the third in line to the throne.”
“I’d like to add that the first and second in line to the throne died in the civil war before. So Princess Sheril is now considered the rightful heir to the Hui Ye Elves!” Judy said proudly.
Sheril shook her head self-deprecatingly: “What rightful heir, I’m nothing but a fugitive.”
“Then since you can’t go anywhere now, why not stay?” Sun He asked.
Sheril pulled her collar close, which made Qiao Rong Rong and the other female soldiers jump in fright.
Then they saw a blue crystal on Sheril's chest. It was very beautiful, as if it were inlaid on her chest.
“This is the Hui Ye Crystal, a characteristic of our Hui Ye royal family. It emits a kind of fluctuation, and those rebels will eventually find me by following the fluctuation.
They will never allow me, the third in line to the throne, to live.
The reason why we were hiding on W38 before is because W38 has a kind of magnetic field that can hide my fluctuation to a certain extent.
So, if I stay with you, you will definitely be implicated. Those rebels will definitely come after me.
They will kill anyone who is related to me!” Sheril said with sadness in her eyes.
Qiao Rong Rong leaned towards Sun He and added: “Captain, the Hui Ye tribe is very powerful, their technological civilization far surpasses our Milky Way Alliance.
If they really can locate the princess, and send a fleet here, then we…”
Sun He walked straight to Sheril and extended his hand: “I don’t care what your identity is. I only know that you are my friend.
Since my friend is in trouble, I will naturally help. As for those pursuers you mentioned, that’s a matter for the future.
Besides, the Hui Ye Elves' star system is at least three months’ journey from the Milky Way galaxy.
These three months are enough for us to come up with a plan to deal with it.”
“But they’re Hui Ye’s starships… they’re very powerful…” Sheril shouted excitedly.
“I don’t care how powerful they are. I only know that I am confident that I can make my fleet stronger!”
Sun He looked sincerely at Sheril: “Since you have nowhere else to go right now, why don’t you stay with me.
Of course I won’t let you stay here for free. I see that your technology is good, I need you to be my assistant and work for me.
During this time, I will provide you with a place to live and basic living needs, and I will protect your safety.
If you have a place to go in the future, I won’t stop you.”
Hearing Sun He’s words, even Judy, who was always proud, was moved.
Since the civil war in their country three years ago, they had been running with Princess Sheril, escaping from the royal capital planet to the border, from the border to neighboring star systems.
Finally, they even escaped to the Milky Way galaxy.
They used to be a fleet, with thousands of people.
But now, they are less than ten; the pain is unimaginable.
Sheril’s eyes welled up with tears. She looked at the man in front of her with complex emotions.
In the end, she took his hand.
She didn’t know, at this moment, she also grasped her own future.
