Appearance does not represent age. In addition to having the ability to learn, Frankenstein also has a rich reserve of knowledge in his database and has unlimited possibilities for self-growth.
But this cannot hide the fact that her mental age is the same as Leliana's.
As a special living individual, everything about Frankenstein is a process of self-learning.
Frankenstein likes to take care of flowers and plants. She is responsible for the plants in the laboratory. This allows her to experience the growth of life and better understand what life is.
She likes to save electricity, which is a result of her personality.
Frankenstein also likes the so-called "Princess Regency". In this process, she will see the so-called human diversity, which is also part of her learning.
Listening to stories is also one of her hobbies.
Originally, she was just recharging herself, and since someone was willing to tell her a story, there was no need to chase them away.
Of course, this is just the initial reason.
At first, Frankenstein didn't realize who Redfield was. Although Frankenstein's memory bank stored information about a lot of people, monsters like Redfield were naturally no exception.
But this is what makes Fran so special. She is not a low-level robot that only works according to programs. She can choose the switches of some functions herself.
When she was charging her car on a trip to the heart of the country, she certainly didn't turn on the screening function like she did at customs.
But after Redfield talked more, she realized who the other person was.
From that moment on, Frankenstein's goal changes from simply listening to the story to observing the other person to see what the person is trying to do.
If such a person did something dangerous on the island, it would cause irreparable consequences.
But after a while, Frankenstein found that the other party seemed to simply want to make friends, was a bit talkative, and always wanted to show off his strength.
Since the day Redfield went out to sea, he hasn't met anyone he could confide in. The last one he met was Brooke.
That was a special case. Redfield was still young at that time, and his ability of observation had not developed to such an exaggerated level, so he had not closed his heart.
It's different now. Even if Frankenstein curses him in his heart, Redfield can accept it because he can't see what's in the other person's heart.
If everyone could read minds, that would be a very scary thing. After all, a complaint when you are in a bad mood may be heard by the other person.
In a sense, Redfield said out loud everything he had been holding back for years.
"By the way, have you heard of Gol D. Roger? Edward Newgate would be fine too, the one with the white crescent beard. I'm not afraid of them either, as I'm quite powerful."
In the past, when someone discovered his identity, Redfield would always receive some flattery, and the other person's thoughts at that time would make him feel distressed or disgusted.
"I heard he was moody. I wonder if he was killed suddenly."
"I really want to join his army, so I can rob others as I please."
He had heard many similar ideas, and each time they only brought him trouble. But now Frankenstein's expressionless look made him feel lost. When he really wanted to show off, he failed.
At this moment, he really wanted to hear the other party say, "Are you the great pirate Redfield? The legendary Lone Red? So cool!" or something like that.
But he was destined to fail. Frankenstein didn't say anything about it and just nodded.
"Your Highness! Good morning!"
At this time, several workers passing by greeted Frankenstein.
There weren't many people here, and these few people were the first group of people passing by the area during this period. However, this eldest princess made Redfield stunned.
"The Princess is resting here again? I heard she particularly likes to stay near the power station."
"Who is that man? Why does he seem so familiar with the princess? Could it be that he wants to marry her? His Majesty the King has no sons, so if he marries the princess, maybe..."
Several of the ideas were read by Redfield, but they made him even more amused.
Redfield's observation Haki can be roughly classified into two categories: mind reading is a passive skill. Just by looking at the other person, you can perceive what he is thinking.
To Redfield, this ability was like noise, always lingering in his ears and difficult to get rid of.
Accessing deeper things like memories requires physical contact and a certain amount of time.
But what a person thinks when speaking is also very complicated. If it were in the past, Redfield would probably have read something like "I am a princess" in her heart, but this time it was different.
If it weren't for someone else passing by, he would still not know Frankenstein's true identity.
This feeling made Redfield feel quite interesting. After who knows how many years, he finally felt what the unknown was in others.
"Interesting, you are actually the princess of this country? I originally wanted to invite you to go out to sea as a pirate, but now it seems that this idea will be shattered."
Redfield's style of doing things is very similar to that of the Rumbar Pirates. After all, he was influenced by the Rumbar Pirates and Brook when he went to sea.
In his eyes, Frankenstein was still a child, and forcing others to go to sea with him was clearly not in line with his style.
"You didn't ask."
Frankenstein responded lightly, which made Redfield realize his mistakes these days. He was really just talking and didn't even pay attention to things like introducing himself.
"So, do you know those pirates I mentioned, and my name, or not?"
Frankenstein nodded again, obviously indicating that she knew all this, but it was not enough to shock her.
For Frankenstein, perhaps the blooming of a flower would make her happier.
"Is this the feeling of the unknown? It's so good."
What Redfield fears least is the Riddler. After all, outsiders have no secrets in front of him. Frankenstein's unreadable inner world gives him a very strange feeling, and it is also a brand new experience.
"That's all for today's story. I'll come find you here tomorrow."
The thoughts he read did not affect Redfield's thoughts. He stopped there because he didn't know what to say.
The story Redfield told was about his own sailing experiences. Although he had a lot of experience, he couldn't say what was interesting.
Even most of the trip seemed meaningless to Redfield, just a way to kill time. It took a lot of energy to extract the interesting parts and turn them into stories.
At this time, in the distant sky, a giant pink dragon was flying towards this side, and finally crashed into the landing platform of the royal city.
This was originally a special "helipad" prepared for Terra, and Leliana borrowed it this time.
Instead of resting, she flew back in one breath.
At this time, Leliana discovered one of the benefits of the animal-type fruit. As long as she maintained her beast form, she could eat more food in one bite and experience the satisfaction of swallowing big mouthfuls.
However, some drawbacks of the ability also appeared. Leliana, who was flying at high altitude for the first time, was not familiar with landing. In the end, after putting down everyone brought by Yanyun, she chose to make a hard landing.
"Hmm, this isn't right. Landing like this feels weird."
"It's nothing, Riley, you're just not very skilled. There's no set standard for this kind of movement, just do what you feel most comfortable with.
And Ginny, Bear, don't be so nervous, we're back."
Orlan just said that he would come back, but he didn't come back much. This made Bear and Ginny in the royal city nervous, and they thought they had encountered some surprise attack.
"You scared me, Brother Oran, what are you doing? This dragon."
"Sister Ginny, it's me. Dad went out this time and found me a mythical beast-type devil fruit, and then I learned how to use it. Isn't it amazing?"
Leliana regained her human form, brushed off the dirt on her body, and stood up from the ground.
"Yeah, that's awesome!"
"Right. By the way, Sister Ginny, let me tell you, the feeling of eating when you become a dragon is completely different."
When it comes to food, Leliana and Ginny have plenty of common topics, and Ginny even drools when she hears them.
"Is it so convenient? I almost want to be a person with special abilities. I'm so envious."
Compared to the fruit's other enhancements, the two seemed to be focusing on something off track, and Leliana's rumbling stomach revealed her current thoughts.
After saying something to Oran, the two ran back to the restaurant. It seemed that they were planning to hold a new eating contest.
"Brother Oran, these people are..."
At this time, Xiong noticed the slaves who were brought back together. These people looked a little haggard after several days of flying, but their tired eyes were filled with excitement.
On the way here, they had already prepared themselves for the harsh environment.
However, they did not expect to arrive at such a magnificent building as soon as they landed. Especially in the subsequent conversation, after learning that Oran was the king here, their expressions became more colorful.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to become your subject!"
A king took his princess to rescue the slaves. No matter how bad such a country is, how bad can it be?
Some people have given up the idea of returning to their hometown and instead knelt in front of Oran, wanting to truly become a part of this place.
Orlan naturally did not refuse such a request. After sixteen years of destruction, there was a huge population gap on Firefly Island, which now needed to be replenished.
After notifying Brand and asking him to bring people to arrange for these people to move to the immigrant settlement, Oran also took out some things from his book.
"Xiong, this is for you. It's a religious book. I saw you were quite interested in this area, so I brought it back for you."
The bear himself is a priest, which is influenced by family factors. There is also a small church prepared for the bear on Firefly Island.
However, Firefly Island doesn't really believe in this, so Xiong's church is always deserted. Apart from dealing with the security team's affairs, Xiong likes to read a Bible in his spare time.
This time, seeing something similar, Oran brought it back for Bear as a souvenir.
As for Ginny's, the snacks in Leliana's book are that the two of them are currently competing to see who can eat the most Wei Bao.
"Thank you, Brother Orlan."
"It's okay, don't be polite. I'm sorry to bother you during this period of time."
"It's all a small matter. Also, I've compressed the metal you need, Brother Orlan. It's now on the bookshelf outside District 13."
After a brief chat with the bear, Orlan also met Frankenstein who had returned to the royal city.
"Father, while you were away, I met Redfield on the island."
Frankenstein described in detail the communication process between him and the other party over the past few days. After objectively evaluating the matter, he expressed some emotional opinions.
"His stories were quite interesting, and I could tell he really wanted to make friends."
"Redfield Fran, how do you feel about him."
"Well, no harm done, and a little strange, like... a childish feeling?"
Frankenstein was having trouble finding the right words, and ultimately, because Redfield seemed to be deliberately trying to maintain social relationships, he gave this comment.
"Is that so? That's fine. Since you guys agreed to meet again tomorrow, why don't you give him something for me?"
Orlan brought the metals that Xiong had made during this period to the laboratory below the royal city. In addition to the traditional scientific research area, there was even a forging area here.
Here, Orlan began to use a special technique combined with unique materials to create some things. Special plants from the Valoran continent were integrated into the metal, and finally created something that looked like a helmet.
Due to his abilities, Orlan has a complex network of relationships on the Valoran continent and has many teachers.
One of the teachers was named Dolan. Through his special skills, he created many well-known weapons and named them after himself.
Doran's Shield, Doran's Sword, Doran's Staff, these weapons all have suitable users. In addition to conventional weapons, there are also some additional equipment, such as the Seventh Degree Insight Eyepiece.
And this helmet, according to the customs of Valoran, can be called the Orlan Helmet. Its function is very simple, shielding, or it is a limiter.
As long as you wear it, your observation and hearing ability will no longer be so uncontrollable, and you will be able to live more like a normal person.
In a sense, it has similar abilities to Magneto's helmet, except that one prevents him from being mentally controlled, and the other prevents his mind-reading ability from appearing so frequently.
This is a bit of a nerf, but for Redfield, it might just be enough.
