Chapter 972 Request to join
Alyssa never imagined that a grown man's tear ducts could be so developed. Or is it that a man doesn't shed tears easily, but he hasn't reached the point of sadness?
Having said that, although the royalists have recovered the princess, it will definitely be difficult to restore the country.
If it were Alyssa who had the starship in hand, she would definitely be very interested in this. There is a lot of room for manipulation here, and Alyssa is confident that she can make a lot of money.
But there is really no time now, and the first goal must be to recapture the starship, which is why Alyssa refused.
I hope these people can still stand up when they get the starship back.
But Alyssa is not interested in this, which does not mean that others are not interested either.
"I don't know if you are still short of people. If possible, I hope to stay."
Perla led Hall over. When Eunice saw it, she immediately narrowed her eyes.
"I didn't expect that Captain Perla was also in prison. Did he take the opportunity to escape together?"
"Come less."
Perla crossed her arms and looked at Eunice provocatively: "I don't believe you don't know that I am also in prison and arranged Alyssa's men next to my cell, isn't it? Want to use my information?"
"Captain Perla, you are serious in your words. Everyone gets what they need."
"Yes, from this point on, I also want to thank you."
The two people seemed to know each other, and their words were somewhat quarrelsome, but there was no special expression on their faces.
Anyway, in Alyssa's view, these two are female foxes, so be careful not to be betrayed by them.
Speaking of Perla, Alyssa asked:
“Are you not going to find your starship?”
"That was my original plan, but after what happened this time, I decided not to get involved."
Perla sighed softly:
“If Eunice’s intelligence is correct, then the guy who is controlling all this behind the scenes will definitely be difficult to deal with. If you go to find the stolen starship, you will probably encounter something. There are things more terrifying than assassination. Don’t follow in my footsteps. Someone may not come to get you out this time.”
Perla's words were like a warning, but Alyssa was a little surprised:
"But the Perla in my memory is not someone who gives up so easily."
"Little girl, how old are you?"
She smiled, seemingly helpless:
"I used to think that I would die in the sea of stars, but now it seems that I am still old and want to find a relatively safe place to retire."
It is difficult to judge the age of a dragonborn, especially to outsiders. There is no difference between an adult dragonborn and an old dragonborn.
So it's hard to realize that they're aging.
It is a bit exaggerated to say that Perla can be Alyssa's grandmother, but she is definitely more than ten years older than Alyssa's mother.
The lifespan of a dragonborn is actually shorter than that of a human being. After this time in prison, Perla felt that she could no longer afford it.
"In short, I want to find a clerical job in an office. I am very confident in my abilities."
It’s a bit sad to say that a recycler who has been traveling across the world for most of his life is now looking for a job just like putting out a resume.
Then Perla said again:
"Although I don't want to move, I hope you bring someone with you."
"who?"
Hall stood at attention and saluted: "Captain Alyssa, I hope to join your battleship as a pilot. I once belonged to the Constellation United Army and received formal pilot training. I am good at flying all small aircraft. Hire me." Won't be disappointed.”
Alyssa looked at Perla, a little confused as to what she was doing.
Alyssa's current situation is not like that of an employer with a bright future. With just a few people on a battleship and a small amount of capital, no one is sure of finding a starship.
Even if Perla didn't plan to continue being a recycler and Hall had to find a new job, there was no need to look for Alyssa.
This is the base of the royalists, and jobs as space fighter pilots are easy to find.
He couldn't be sent as a spy to Alyssa, this was too obvious.
"Even if I want to place spies around you, I won't risk my chief pilot. Hall just hopes to join you."
"No, I just don't understand..."
Alyssa asked Hall:
"Why do you want to join me? To be honest, I can't even afford a salary now. The wages of everyone on my ship will have to be paid in one lump sum later. You join I can’t make any money now.”
Alyssa's savings and loans have been exhausted, and unless the money in the recycler's account can be transferred to her name, she won't be able to get a penny out.
It’s outrageous to think that a company that works at your own expense and has no future has top talents coming to submit resumes.
Hall knew that this was the key moment to convince Alyssa. She said without reservation: "Captain Alyssa, when you escaped from the starship, I led my Echo Squadron. pursuit."
He really had no reservations, even saying that he had chased Alyssa.
Alyssa raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and she recalled the painful memory of the first time she got in Li Chengqi's car and was shaken into a coma.
"As a result, more than half of my squadron was killed or injured, but work is work. I don't have any unnecessary feelings for you personally, but I want to know who was the pilot of that shuttle at that time."
"Do you know what this is for?"
"He's too powerful."
When Hall said this, there seemed to be light in his eyes.
"I have been pursuing flying since I was a child. Although I am a bit boastful, I have obtained a light flying chess license at the age of 13, and obtained the youngest and longest gliding record certification at the age of 15. I joined the Aviation Academy at the age of 18 and was the best graduate. But I have never seen an ace as powerful as your pilot, and after that I often thought about what I should do to improve and become as powerful as him.”
"So you plan to join me to learn flying skills?"
"I admit that my motives are not pure, but I promise to do my best to complete the work."
When the Swan escaped, Hall was still with Perla in the cabin. He didn't see Li Chengqi using Zaku to blow himself up. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have any intention of joining Alyssa. She thought she was the one she admired. The pilot is dead.
To be honest, Alyssa felt that it was better to let Hall see it, at least it would be over.
But then I thought about it, she really needed a pilot on the ship.
Needless to say, Alyssa herself can only drive this level for shuttles, and most other people are similar.
Vilania will now fly the Silver Tornado into battle, but Alyssa knows that Vilania is not a professional pilot, and she is completely forcing herself to fly the Silver Tornado.
Villania is more suitable as a technical officer on the ship rather than a front-line combatant, but relying purely on Li Chengqi himself will be very troublesome once dual-line operations are required.
For example, this time Li Chengqi drove the Manta to pick up people, and Villania risked his life to cover everyone back to the Swan. If there was another pilot, it wouldn't be so difficult.
