Chapter 547 The Runaway Princess
The defense loophole of the palace is always the underground waterway connected to the dungeon.Don't ask why, Matthew doesn't know either.That's how it is in the game anyway.Also now.
Matthew didn't know why this new world chose this kingly rpg game when it could have adopted any better script.Still, it wouldn't be a bad thing if it really went all the way.According to this form, Youxiang already has the three elements of a brave man:
Birthmark (tattoo), identity is a mystery, being hunted down.
But Matthew doesn't intend to stick to the rules.He would never do even one thing that a brave man should do.He is very confident about this.
In any case, now they have successfully entered the underground waterway of the palace through an old secret door.It’s not enough without Ace. Youxiang can’t move this door alone, and Matthew is just a kitten at this time.
The underground sewer is dark and damp, making Youxiang a little scared.Matthew patted her face with his little paw, while Youxiang smiled wryly: "It's okay... Matthew. I can still hold on!"
"We're not halfway through, miss. You'd better hold on." Ace made a fuss, and he said, "There should be no one in this place, but just to be safe, let's keep our voices down."
Ace really doesn't remember anything.Matthew secretly confirmed.His attitude towards Youxiang has also become half of his attitude towards strangers.This guy, like Sabo, has a sense of alienation from unfamiliar people. According to what Ms. Nami said before, when they first met in the Kingdom of Alabasta, Ace was a polite and reliable big brother——
However, when we met again, it changed to 'Luffy's real brother'.
However, that is still the attitude towards people who are 'although they are strangers, but they are considered companions'. Now the tone of talking with Youxiang is completely the attitude towards the unknown person on the side of the road.This guy is really bad!Matthew decided to record this paragraph secretly, and wait for them to recover their memories and file a complaint.
"The cat."
Now, Ace started attacking before Matthew complained.He looked back at the kitten Matthew Youxiang was holding, and said with a 'murderous look': "Is it the food reserve?"
"Meow-!!"
"Ughhhhhh!!!"
Matthew scratched his face with his paw, making him let out a scream.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! "
"What's the matter with this cat! What kind of monster do you raise? I said Miss!! Uh, don't come here!! I know! If you can see it, take it with you!! But if you get lost I won’t help you find it!!”
Mr. Ace, hid in the corner over there.Youxiang stood there, stroking the kitten's head to comfort him, and said, "Matthew won't let me leave my side, Mr. Ace. Don't worry."
"Really...why would I do such a thing!"
"Because I rescued Mr. Ace."
"I get it! I'm just complaining! I won't break my word!"
Ace gave up his resistance, turned around and started walking.Youxiang quickly ran two steps to keep up with him, which made him look back a little vigilantly: "The outside world is scary, Miss. What will you do after you go out like this, have you thought about it?"
"Hmm..." Youxiang lowered her head slightly, she thought for a while, then looked up at Ace and said, "Then what will Mr. Ace do after he leaves?"
"Ah? Of course I'm going to find my partner, and... why should I tell you!" Ace stopped in time, and he said, "You don't have any ideas, do you?"
"I really don't know... I've never been out of the palace."
"Never... which family's eldest lady are you?" Never went out? ?Although this palace is not too small, but to imprison a person here for so many years, this is too... too outrageous!Why?Surprised, Ace said, "Have you committed any crime?"
"Crime...?" Yes, did I commit any crime?Youxiang raised her hand subconsciously to touch her collar, under the high lace collar, covering her 'sin'.She said, "Yes... this should be my punishment?"
"..." What... What kind of crime can you, a young lady, commit?However, everyone has a little bit of difficulty.Ace scratched his hair in a difficult way, and he said, "Forget it. You've already run out anyway, so it's useless to think so much. If you really have nowhere to go... I'll go to the port of Montenacie next, Are you going there?"
"Harbor..." Although Youxiang didn't know where Montanaxi was, her eyes lit up when she mentioned the harbor, "Can you see the sea?"
"Ah, it's a harbor after all."
"Then I'm going!"
"You really have no idea at all..." Is it really okay, this young lady...but forget it.This can be regarded as the utmost benevolence.When she gets to the harbor, her fate can only be chosen by herself.As for myself..."Rare World Treasure" is still waiting somewhere in this world, and I must move forward.Thinking to himself, Ace said, "Do you like the ocean?"
"I don't know... I've only seen the sea in books. But..." Youxiang felt a strange feeling in her heart, she said, "But it also feels like...someone is waiting for me there. No... ...It should be said that I should go there to find someone."
"Who?"
"..." Youxiang shook her head, she said, "I only know that is a very, very important person."
It feels weird, but... Ace actually understands this feeling.He couldn't help but said: "I always feel that someone is waiting for me somewhere. I have to find him. This strange feeling... I don't know when it started to appear."
"Did Mr. Ace travel around to find that person?"
"Traveling...isn't really a thing. I just ran around following the clues with my partner." So it is indeed a trip.Ace said, "In the beginning, my partner and I met because we were looking for 'rare treasures'. Anyway, we are all unwanted guys, so no one will have any objections if we just wander around like this?"
"A rare treasure... what exactly is it?"
"I don't know either. I just thought I should find it. Because... there's someone waiting for me. Weird isn't it?"
"Well. However, I can understand Mr. Ace's mood."
"Ha... Really..." Looking at me so seriously... Ace laughed and said, "Anyway~~ I'll be a good person and send you to Montanaxi. But that's all oh."
"I see. Thank you, Mr. Ace!" Youxiang didn't know where Montanaxi was, let alone how long it would take.Everything is new to her now, which makes her feel good, "Speaking of which, we've been in the sewer for a long time!"
"Ah...should be out soon." Ace took out a map.His luggage was found in a box by the prison door.Since there was nothing of value in it, everything other than weapons was thrown there casually, and Ace himself didn't bring any weapons.
Turn left is the exit.Matthew was hugged by Youxiang like a teddy bear, and he really wanted to say that if it was a real kitten, this position wouldn't last long.But it doesn't matter.He raised his little paw and pointed in the right direction and meowed: "Meow."
"Matthew...don't talk anymore..." Youxiang sighed when she saw her, "Do you want to go there?"
"Huh? Does this cat know the right way?" Ace looked at the map and then at the direction Matthew pointed, and then he pointed in the opposite direction and said, "I think we should go that way."
As far as you brothers, from childhood to adulthood, you have never found the right path all at once.Matthew couldn't help it. He finally said, "That's a dead end. You think it's an RPG game. Is there a treasure chest at the end of the dead end?"
"Haha...????" Wait, it was a man's voice just now? ?Ace froze in place.
"I'm not talking because I don't think we should waste time explaining before we escape." Matthew knew it would happen.He meowed unhappily, "Meow meow!"
"Meow... Meow, you're big! So what the hell are you?!" Ace stepped back half a step, and he said, "Warcraft?! Monsters?? Sea beasts???"
"Just take me as Miss Youxiang's familiar." Matthew said he really didn't bother to explain.
"So that's it, it's magic—it's weird!! How can there be such a cat in the world who speaks in such a straight voice, you bastard!!" Ace seemed unable to accept the reality, and he said, "Hey! Miss! You Explain what's going on!!"
"Well, actually, I don't really know..." Youxiang didn't understand either, she said, "When I first met Matthew, he was just an ordinary kitten... Then he was killed by my elder brother yesterday." Killed, when he who should have been buried suddenly appeared in front of me, it became like this."
"What kind of explanation is this, I said..." Isn't there more mystery!Ace looked at Youxiang seriously and said, "I heard that there are demons in this world who can confuse people, and they will possess the corpses of animals to hunt humans. Are you sure this is not that thing?"
"Mr. Ace also believes in the stories in the storybook!"
"—Because there is a talking cat here, miss!!"
The current Ms. Youxiang is a little natural, and it seems a little difficult to communicate.Matthew watched the excitement from the sidelines, without any intention of explaining anything.Instead, say, "Let's hurry up, anyone who shouts here will be heard."
"Aren't you really a demon??"
"If I were a devil, you would have been eaten by me just now." Matthew said, "What's more... If I'm really a devil, why do I need your help to take Miss Youxiang out? If I want to hunt humans If so, why not hunt you both now instead of waiting?"
It makes sense... Ace was hesitating, he said: "Who knows what your purpose is... Does Missy believe you?"
"Miss Youxiang believes in me more than in you."
"Why do you feel like you're showing off?"
"You'll know after a while that I'm just showing off." Matthew said and raised his little paw to point to the right way, "Let's go, Mr. Ace. Instead of worrying about who I am, it's better to escape from this place quickly. "
Fine.Ace gave up thinking, just treat him as a familiar.He walked towards the place Matthew said without saying anything, and Youxiang quickly chased after Matthew in his arms: "Great... I thought I was the only one who could hear Matthew talking, and I thought there might be something wrong with me Woolen cloth."
"I think something is wrong with me." I came to the palace, but I didn't find any serious things, so I picked up two strange ones and went back.I don't know what my partner will say.Ace sighed, "Anyway, get out of this damn place—??"
At this moment, Ace noticed something.He immediately stopped and made Youxiang stop quickly.In the shadows ahead, there seemed to be some animals making threatening sounds, and their red eyes could even be vaguely seen from the darkness!
"There is no 'Warcraft' in this world, right?" Matthew confirmed.
"Anyway, I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it yet." Ace took half a step back, and he said, "But you are all there, and there is nothing unusual about having a monster, right?"
"Is now the time to talk about this! Come!"
Following Matthew's reminder, the animals in the shadow jumped out one after the other!Taking a closer look, these are not 'monsters', but rats that inhabit the sewers—very, very big rats.Bigger than Matthew the kitten and as big as a large dog! !
"Old, mouse..." Are all the mice outside this big? ! !Youxiang was frightened and dumbfounded.
"Are you kidding me! Is it because the food in the palace is so good??" But it's too big! !While saying this, Ace flashed a jumping mouse. He really didn't want to touch these things, so he raised his hand and ignited a fireball towards the mouse that was still in mid-air!
Hearing a stabbing sound, the whole mouse burned up and fell to the ground, which made the other one that was just about to attack stop immediately and turned around and ran away!However, Ace would not let it escape, and then another fireball flew from behind to end its too huge life.
Flames were burning on the steps of the sewer, probably from too much fat, the rats were crackling, and there was even a smell of meat.But here is the sewer, even if you smell the smell of meat, you shouldn't have much appetite.
"From the perspective of biological structure, they are ordinary mice." Before they were burned, Matthew quickly scanned the mice. He said, "But the size is too large, which is not normal."
"You don't need to say it!" Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it's not normal!Ace has never seen such a big mouse in his life!He said, "This place really can't stay longer!"
"Wait a minute." Matthew stopped Ace who wanted to leave immediately, and he said, "Miss Youxiang, can you come closer?"
"Huh?!" Youxiang, who was still in shock, came back to her senses. Although she was a little scared, she approached carefully, "Are they dead...?"
"There are very few creatures that survive being burned like this," replied Matthew, "but, look, they seem to have something on them."
That's... You Xiang took a closer look through the firelight. Although she couldn't see it very clearly, it seemed that some blue-green crystals had precipitated on the burning mouse corpse.
I have to say that Matthew had always had a concern before this.That is: this new world may be better than the previous one.If people can live better, then maybe the new world doesn't need to be changed.And he just needs to rescue Youxiang out of that cage.
But now he realizes that this might really be a world with an RPG game script.Every person who is destined to be different has an extraordinary mission that falls from the sky.And now, it is the prelude to the beginning of the journey of destiny.
"What's that, Matthew?"
"I don't know. I can't make any conclusions right now," Matthew said. "But one thing is certain. We have to get out of here. Because the truth can only be found out in the outside world."
