[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 549 The world is waiting to be saved

It seems that the mountain road is not as hard as youxiang imagined. Although she has been locked in the palace all the time, she doesn't know why her physical strength is much better than she imagined.They successfully arrived at the planned forest town just after the sky darkened.

This small town is built in the dense woods on the side of the mountain road, and it should usually be a small town that lives by travelers and mountains.It is said to be a small town, but it is actually not big, it is more like a small village.However, it is a small town near Wangcheng after all, so poverty is definitely not counted, and it may still receive orders from Wangcheng.

"Traveler?"

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the town, the guard on guard made a surprised voice: "It's so late, did you come from Wangcheng?"

"Ah...that's right." Ace replied.This guard is the regular army of the Tedronian Empire, and there are such soldiers in almost every town.But their news is definitely not that well-informed. They probably don't know that an ignorant thief 'stolen' Her Royal Highness from the palace last night.

"Some bad things have happened in the forest recently. It's great that you can come here without incident." The guard seemed kind, and he said, "The hotel in the town is on the left side of the entrance. It’s better to go to rest and wait for dawn before setting off.”

"That's what we plan to do," Ace said. "But what do you mean by bad things in the forest?"

"It's just some hunters... They said they saw some too ferocious beasts." The guard answered the question as tactfully as possible, and he said, "Maybe it's because of the season. Don't worry, there are guards and walls in the town, no Something happened."

"Hmm..." Too ferocious beast... Ace was thoughtful, but if he kept asking, he probably wouldn't get any information.It's exhausting enough to escape for a day and a night, let's go to the hotel to sleep first.

"Are you rich Mr. Ace?"

Just as Ace and the others started to move forward, the kitten Matthew jumped from Youxiang's arms to Ace's shoulder: "After all, you look very poor, we will not live under the bridge tonight right?"

"No." Ace began to take out his luggage while talking, "But when I passed by the room of the nobles in the palace, I took some money without authorization."

"What a coincidence. Me too." As he said that, Matthew turned his head to look at Youxiang, who held up a small bag helplessly and said, "Matthew asked me to carry it, I thought it was clothes Something..." It turned out to be all jewels!

"Aha!" Ace laughed, "I hope the adults don't mind."

"They have a lot of adults, and they won't mind." Matthew said that even if he minded, he didn't care. "Let's go and book the highest-level room to have a good time."

"I'm starting to like you monster now."

Shouldn't you save some money... You Xiang stayed weak and didn't interrupt, and didn't know how far the port of Montanaxi was. Is the money enough?Youxiang actually doesn't know much about prices, after all, she doesn't need to spend money in the palace.But with Matthew here, it shouldn't be a problem, right?

However, there is indeed a more important issue here, and that is...

"I don't think this hotel has the highest-class rooms." Youxiang looked up at the small town hotel with only two floors, and she said, "Maybe we can only choose the location we like."

"Just wait until the next city." Ace spread his hands, after all, there is nothing to be picky about in the forest.After he finished speaking, he opened the door and entered the hotel.The hotel owner who was dozing off at the front desk saw the guests coming, and immediately woke up with a smile on his face: "Welcome! You two look like they just passed through our town?"

"Yeah." Ace walked to the counter and leaned against it, then put a gemstone on the table and said, "We're tired, we need to open two rooms."

"!" Seeing the gems shining in the dim light, the store owner's eyes lit up together, he controlled his hand that wanted to pick up the gems immediately and said, "Sorry, my shop is full today , there is only one room left.”

"Oh, that's fine." Otherwise, I can't really sleep under the bridge.Ace said, "Is it okay to serve us some supper?"

"Of course! Of course!" Get the sleeping cook up now!This gem is definitely worth it!The store owner rubbed the gem with his fat fingers with a smile on his face, then carefully put the gem into his clothes, and then took a key from under the counter, "You two go upstairs first, it's in the innermost room."

"Hmm...is there always so many people in the hotel?" Ace asked casually.

"No. It's just that it's not safe in the forest recently." The owner of the store said mysteriously, "so the guests are rushing to find a place to settle before dark. However, the guards said that it is the relationship between the seasons, you know Yes, it’s spring! The beasts are restless too! Haha!”

"Hahaha!" Ace laughed casually in agreement, and then motioned for Youxiang to follow him.They went upstairs. Although the hotel was not top-notch, it was quite clean.This small town should not be considered deserted, the boss's business is not bad.

Use the key to open the door to the innermost room, which is a standard twin bedroom.Ace walked inside, and closed his eyes as soon as he lay down on the bed: "Good night, Miss."

"Mmm, um..." Youxiang still hadn't quite reacted.In fact, she still wants to visit more, and now she doesn't even turn on the lights...Forget it, forget it.Go to bed yourself, and don't cause trouble for Mr. Ace.However, "Don't you have supper?"

"Ah!!" Forgot!Ace immediately sat up from the bed, "Go to bed after eating. But it's you, miss. Don't you feel scared to be alone in the room with me?"

"That's right... I should be a little scared." Youxiang smiled wryly, and she said, "But I'm not scared at all. I don't know why."

Because the two of you were much closer than this before.Matthew had a headache watching these two people, no matter before or now, they are always awkward.Why not propose directly like Luo did.So Matthew changed the subject: "I'm a little worried about the anomalies in the forest."

"Maybe it's really the season?" When Ace spoke, Youxiang hugged Matthew and sat on another bed.

"Maybe. But maybe it has something to do with the rats we met in the palace sewers."

After Matthew finished speaking, Ace raised his eyebrows and said, "I think it's better for us not to get involved in this matter? I don't want to do the job of saving the world."

"..." also makes sense.After all, you are a pirate, and I don't want to be a hero.But... Matthew didn't speak, he hasn't even been able to convince himself to 'save the world' yet.Forget it, or just take one step at a time.Believe that the illusory fate is not in line with my style, but it saves trouble.

"Matthew, let's go to the harbor first, shall we?"

"I know Miss Youxiang..." Everything depends on fate.Matthew walked to the pillow of Youxiang's bed and sat down, then said, "Please don't wrong yourself, I will do as you wish. Are you hungry?"

"Yeah!" Youxiang smiled, and she said, "Matthew always knows my affairs very well!"

Not just you.I also know the kid across from you very well—you guys are my raised children!hateful!Matthew was suddenly a little angry, but he didn't show it: "It looks like supper is ready."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door.Ace whispered to Matthew, "You're definitely a monster or something," standing up and opening the door.The store owner's chubby smiling face appeared behind the door. He held a tray and said, "This is supper, customer. The best materials in our store are used! I will also deliver breakfast tomorrow morning!"

"Oh! Thank you very much!" Gemstones are really useful!But when you get to a bigger city, you have to find a way to exchange jewelry into money, otherwise you will run out of money right away.Ace took the tray, "Go to bed early too, boss!"

"It's okay, it's okay! Don't worry about me!" The owner rubbed his hands and bid farewell to Ace, "Then I won't bother you!"

Ace just smiled and closed the door. The late-night snack on the tray was bread and steak.It smells pretty good.He was about to say something when he turned around, when he saw that the fragrant saliva was about to flow out: "Okay, I'll eat it for you right away...you eat quite a lot, miss!"

I also ate a lot of wild rabbit meat before.Youxiang looks quite thin, but I didn't expect it to be so edible.

"I don't know why, but I'm always hungry." Youxiang had already picked up the bread and took a bite while speaking, "If you don't eat it, you will get sick."

"Haha! It's true..."

"It's true. Yours is also for Miss Youxiang." Matthew came over now, and he pressed his little paw on Ace's hand that was about to take the bread, "It's okay if you're hungry for a while, but Miss Youxiang can't! "

"Aren't you targeting me??" I also want to eat supper!However, Ace was stunned, and his bread was gone: "It's delicious~~~Wow! This steak is so delicious!" Youxiang was already eating without any hesitation, "Come back to life... I'm starving to death!"

Looks really pretty hungry.All right.Ace gave up his resistance and said, "I said Matthew, is this young lady really okay?"

"The problem is huge." The biggest problem here is that neither you nor I can truly protect her comprehensively.Matthew said, "We need to get back the person who can protect her. Your partner is well-informed?"

"Um... what's wrong?"

"There is something I need his help to inquire about. However, we must go to the harbor of Montenacie first anyway."

"That's what you say, but seriously, who are you? The appearance of this cat is just your disguise, right?"

"That's right. My body is not a cat, and of course I'm not a human being." Matthew replied truthfully, "You just need to know that I am Miss Youxiang's servant, and I will put her interests first. Is that enough? ?”

"Okay." Just as I thought.Ace now knew that the eldest lady had a lot of background.Ace said, "Won't the family worry about her running away from the palace like this?"

"..." You really don't remember anything, Mr. Ace.You are her family.Matthew paused, then said, "She's with her family right now."

"You're not her mother, are you?"

"Who is your mother?!!"

"Scare me! I didn't mean I—"

"It's so annoying! You go to sleep! I'll take care of Miss Youxiang!" What a fool!See if I will still say good things for you in the future!Matthew angrily ran to Youxiang's knees, and buried his face in his furry body, making a dissatisfied meowing sound.Youxiang touched him worriedly: "What's the matter, Matthew? Are you hungry?"

"Miss Youxiang...are you happy?" Are you happy?Matthew asked.

"Yeah. The steak is delicious! Then, Matthew is by my side." Youxiang smiled innocently, and she said, "That's enough."

"No, it's not enough. Because I'm not even human." Not enough, it's definitely not happiness.me!I, Matthew, as a super-advanced artificial intelligence, was created for the sole purpose of bringing happiness to human beings.This should be the only thing I'm good at, but why do all the strategies fail when it comes to you, Miss Youxiang?

"No, it's enough. I know Matthew has worked very hard. It's because of Matthew by my side that I can persist until now." Youxiang gently stroked Matthew's little furry head, she Say, "Is Matthew tired?"

"Ah. So tired, Miss Youxiang."

"Take a break! I can take care of myself, so it's okay for Matthew to take a break!"

I can't rest.Especially at this time, how can I rest?Your world is waiting for someone to save it, it's waiting for someone to do something - or rather, you don't know it's wrong, and I have to tell you it's wrong.Because... because when we first met, we had made an eternal 'contract' for artificial intelligence.

"I will grant your wish, Miss Youxiang."

Matthew said: "Even if I want to destroy the world, I will fulfill your wish."
