Clover took a very good look at Ktulu for the first time and he reevaluated his previous expression of him in his mind before.
How was this a boorish pirate that knew nothing but killing and plundering?
Ktulu was obviously a skilled person who could definitely make an honest living with his ability. How did he end up like this in the first place?
Clover was puzzled, but he put that question aside for the moment. Instead, he quickly praised Ktulu for a job well done.
"Well-done Ktulu... you have made me very surprised. I didn't know you were so skillful. You don't look like it at all, and you really had me fooled."
After saying that, clover turned to look at boot who was still silent at the moment.
Clover could not see his face, so he didn't know what his expression was like. But from the way his body was trembling forcefully, Boot was clearly enraged.
He didn't seem to be able to hold himself back anymore, and he immediately started t
"Yes, it is indeed very pitiful," Clover replied to Ktulu."In fact, after hearing your story, I believe you have more of a grudge with your former boss here than I do. Although he tried to rob and kill me, which is unforgivable, and he has to die, compared to you whose life had been completely derailed by him, mine grievance with him pales in comparison.""That's why I think you should be the one to kill him!" Clover said finally."Eh!"Ktulu was surprised... he could wrap his head around what Clover was saying."what do you mean, Lord?" Ktulu asked doubtfully, as he couldn't believe what he had heard just now."I mean exactly what I just said. You should be the one to kill him. It is just right since your grievance with him outweighs mine by a lot. So go on, I won't interfere at all. I will just watch from over here... or would you like me to hold him down for you?"Hearing lover's words again, Ktulu could finally believe that what
With the death of boot and the rest of the pirates, it put an end in this short episode of Clover's journey through the green river middle realm. Next, clover needed to fix the 'Going Broke' and set a course for the Houndclaw Space Station.Clover flew back to his spaceship while Ktulu followed behind him. Now that Ktulu had killed boot, he was very relaxed, as if a load had been taken off his shoulder. But when he thought about how he would be serving Clover from now on, Ktulu started to become nervous even more.This couldn't be helped... after spending many years with the Turk pirates and scheming to bring Boot down, Ktulu had cultivated a cautious personality and he always liked to overthink things a lot. Just like now, Ktulu was thinking about what kind of master Clover would be, and if he had any special habits and hobbies. He also wondered what his temper was like if Clover was easy-going or quick to get angry and if he would suddenly strike him dead should Ktul
Just as Clover ordered, Ktulu stayed in a corner and didn't move at all. He didn't dare to! The only thing Ktulu could do was watch Clover as he worked on preparing the ship.In the end, Ktulu realized that Clover really didn't need his help at all. He was fully capable of fixing the ship on his own.As a cosmic Lifeform, Clover's strength was extraordinary, and he didn't need to fear going into space with his body at all. Unlike Ktulu who would need a spacesuit to be able to breathe in space and protect him from the cosmic and radioactive energies in space which would be very troublesome, Clover could just head out with his bare body to fix the external part of the ship that needed repairs.There was also Trudy who could run multiple calculations at the same time to repair and improve the core systems of the ship that had suffered damage and she could also carry out automated repairs on the ship by herself. As long as there were materials to use for the repairs
After Clover took a look at Ktulu, who was huddled in a corner outside the control room, he quickly ignored him and continued going on his way. When he reached the door of the control room, Ktulu finally noticed Clover, and he quickly straightened up and greeted him."Welcome back, my lord!""Hmm," Clover simply nonchalantly grunted in response before he entered the control room through the open door.With a swish, the control room door closed once again, blocking Ktulu outside. Ktulu could only sigh in exasperation at Clover's cold and nonchalant attitude towards him. Still, since there was nothing he could do, Ktulu could only suck it up and continue waiting outside the door.Inside the room, Clover was also sighing as he was a bit helpless about Ktulu's matter. It wasn't that Clover was being deliberately cold towards Ktulu. it was just that he didn't know what to do with him.Initially, bringing Ktulu on board his ship was just so he could tell
"Trudy, set a course for the Houndclaw space station. It's time to find a place to land this ship," Clover instructed."Yes, Clover... already done. We just have to wait for a little time while I contain the remaining energy that leaked out of the core reactor," Trudy said."In the meantime, you look like you have a lot on your mind, Clover... may I ask what is bothering you?"Clover was surprised when he heard Trudy say this. Suddenly, he let out a wry smile as he said to Trudy."So you were able to notice... is it really that obvious?""No Clover, it isn't," Trudy replied."A person who doesn't know you well would not be able to notice if something was bothering you. But for those who are very familiar with you, they will be able to tell at a glance. That is why I was able to notice."Sigh!Clover sighed at Trudy's response. He did not answer immediately, but instead stayed at the ceiling of the control room as he organized h
Clover was dumbfounded. This script seemed to be wrong... shouldn't Trudy be trying to comfort him at this point by uttering strong philosophical words and dishing out Chicken Soup for the Soul like how great men must first suffer hardship in order to rise up and stuff like that?" Normally, when somebody pours out their hearts to another, it would usually be followed by a heartfelt motivational speech meant to encourage you to not give up and to always push through. But Trudy seemed to have gotten the script wrong. Instead of encouraging Clover, she completely ignored his plight and reported on the status of the ship's preparations. Clover was caught off guard, as he hadn't been expecting it. But in the next moment, clover actually sighed in relief. Sigh! That's right. Clover was filled with relief at this moment, and he was very thankful to Trudy. Because of her, his mood had gotten better, and he wasn't as glum as he was before. Others may not under
The ship was making its way to the Houndclaw Space Station. In the meantime, Clover and Ktulu were having a chat in the mess hall with a bowl of warm food that was freshly made in front of them.Clover was feeling quite relaxed at the moment and he leisurely ate his meal slowly. But Ktulu was not as calm as Clover was, and he could not stop shaking in his seat as he wondered what Clover had called him for.Various thoughts swept through Ktulu's mind as he tried to figure out what Clover called him out for a meal. He didn't believe that Clover was implied treating him to a meal to get acquainted with him. Having understood Clover's fickle nature, Ktulu was always worried that a certain mood would overcome clover and he would decide to discard him because he was useless.This was not what Ktulu wanted because he was determined to hug Clover's thigh in order to protect himself in the universe. That was the only thing Ktulu was determined to do right now, so no matt
Clover listened attentively as Ktulu explained to him the situation of the green river realm. Most of what Ktulu said could be found by searching in the local network of the green river realm, and Clover had also learned about it. But hearing it from Ktulu gave clover more detailed information than what he had learned online.For example, Clover knew that territory in the area ruled by the Vogul race was usually awarded by the imperial family. But he didn't know it was completely monopolized by them and only awarded to members of the imperial family and their relatives. This was not something that would be made public online and only from listening to a native like Ktulu was clover able to learn about this.Ktulu continued explaining things to Clover..."The Houndclaw space station is actually located in a barren area. Resources are scarce and hard to come by in the area. There is no central star close to the area at all where energy is generated, nor are there
