[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 614 Isolated Village

Youxiang didn't know how long they ran, or how many intersections they turned.The sound of chasing after him gradually disappeared, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road.When they came back to their senses, they were already standing on a hillside, surrounded by lush green broad-leaved plants.

However, there are artificial stone steps under the feet, so it should not be running into the wild.

"Huh...it seems to be saved..." Youxiang breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't run anymore, "Great, thanks to Miss Perona... What do those people do?"

"They should be smugglers, criminals, human traffickers, etc. from the Dominion or other places." Weiwei looked around vigilantly, and she said, "I came here to investigate when I heard that a girl disappeared nearby. I also fell into their trick... Thank you for showing up in time to help me, Youxiang. And Perona too!"

"Hmph, I told you I was just passing by." Perona opened her parasol and put it on her shoulders, and she said, "But you, you said you were investigating those criminals, who are you?"

"I'm from the country of the desert, I'm an investigator!" Weiwei smiled, and she said, "The country of the desert is not far from the Dominion and the Kingdom of Sweet...Because most of our country is desert , so some people will come to the beach out of curiosity. Recently, there are too many people missing around here, so I came to take a look.”

That's it...Miss Weiwei is so handsome...Youxiang thought so in her heart, and she said: "The missing people, could it be that they were sold by those people just now?"

"Well... this possibility is relatively high." Weiwei lowered her head, she said, "I rescued some people during the investigation, and I was caught while investigating the leader of this group."

"This is the border, and it is close to the sea. Even the Kingdom of Sweet is difficult to govern. However, recently, two princes have come." Perona said, "Two noble people were sent. I don’t know if it’s for show or if I really want to do something.”

"I've heard that too. These prisoners seem to be very afraid of them... I hope they can protect the people in the town." Weiwei shook her head, she said, "But... where are we?"

"I don't know. It seems to be on the mountain." Perona looked down as she spoke, and she could actually see Boli Fen Town below.

"If you walk along the stairs, you should be able to walk into the mountains, right?" You Xiang looked forward, there were red wooden lanterns placed beside the stone steps, and a series of huge red arches could be seen from a distance. lined up and extending into the mountains.At this time, the wind was blowing up from the bottom of the mountain, as if urging them to continue walking, and in this gentle wind, what Youxiang felt was...

Mother……?Huh?

So strange, what does it feel like?Youxiang suddenly felt very relieved, she felt... She felt that they should continue to walk up: "Let's continue walking, Miss Weiwei, Miss Perona!"

"Ah? But I don't know what's in the mountains!" Perona said.

"I think... I think I'll find something good." Youxiang turned around, and she said with a smile, "It's my intuition!"

"You..." What the hell are you thinking!Perona looked at Weiwei helplessly, but Weiwei looked like 'it's okay to go and have a look', which made her sigh helplessly, "There's really nothing we can do with you... Anyway, we have no other place to go ..."

Maybe there is some house on the hill where we can spend the night.With such thoughts in mind, Perona stepped forward with difficulty to keep up with Youxiang and Weiwei.

They walked all the way up the stone steps. The fog on the mountain was very heavy, but it was quite cool.The breeze blows and the trees rustle.No loud human voices can be heard, the place is quiet and peaceful.

After passing through the passage lined up with red wooden 'arches', they walked for a while, and found the shadow of human buildings in front of them.Immediately afterwards, a small village appeared before their eyes.

Are there any other villages like this around Palak Fen Town?All three of them had such doubts in their hearts, but none of them said it out.After walking forward for a while, the village was getting closer and closer. Near the entrance, a blond young man in a white robe was standing in front of a stone-carved shrine and cleaning it.

He realized that someone was approaching, so he looked over: "...you are here, guests from afar."

"what?"

The three girls looked at each other, while the young man on the opposite side showed a friendly smile: "Welcome to the village of Tianhuacheng. Mother has seen you coming a long time ago."

"Tianhuacheng..." Weiwei knew the name, she said, "I heard that Tianhuacheng is a prophet from a distant country... How did you end up at the border of the Kingdom of Sweet?"

"We migrated here from our distant hometown, in order to wait for the destined person and tell him the necessary answers about the future." The young man replied ambiguously, and he said, "Please follow me, three, my lord mother will Explain everything."

What should I do... Youxiang looked back at Perona, then at Weiwei.They shrugged and said: That man doesn't seem to be able to fight at all. If something happens, just beat him up and run away.Youxiang suddenly gained confidence, and she felt it made sense.Then he stepped forward with confidence and followed the young man in front of him.

"My name is Chris." The young man said as he walked, "if you want to know."

"Your name doesn't match the painting style of this place." Perona complained.

"Haha...Because I am a child born of an intermarriage between my mother and a foreign race. My mother said that we have to make choices in order to survive." Chris smiled bitterly, and he said, "Mother has been waiting for you. That's why we are here Living incognito, only occasionally going back to Baklava to buy essential things, most of the time people don't know we exist."

Indeed, there should not be many people in that town who are willing to climb such a far mountain.Youxiang already felt pain in her feet, so she wondered if she could ask Chris to let them rest in the village.In any case, it should be regarded as finding a place to stay, and it is not without gain, right?

Walking into the village for a while, you can see the activities of the people in the village.There are old and young, but most of them are wearing white robes.Life is not much different from ordinary villages. People seem to respect Chris very much, and they will greet him politely and salute him. Chris also responded one by one.

They came all the way to the largest mansion in the village. The gatekeeper immediately stood up straight after seeing Chris: "Master Chris? You are..."

"It's the person that Mother predicted is coming." Chris said a little excitedly, "Please go and inform Mother."

"What... yes, yes!" The gatekeeper immediately ran into the mansion, while Chris continued to lead the way and said, "The three of you must be tired. It's almost time for lunch. I will arrange for the three of you to eat." Get something to eat and take a break. Rest assured, it's very safe here."

This sentence was not convincing at all to the three girls who had just experienced the incident.Chris was a little flustered when he saw the disdainful gazes from the three of them, and he immediately said: "Well, we are really ordinary... I mean serious mages! Not bad people!"

"Mr. Chris..." Youxiang said, "But from the word 'mage', it means not serious."

"Hey?!!" Why! !Chris didn't expect this, and he became even more panicked, "Then, then I'll call my mother to receive the three of you as soon as possible! Anyway...can you come in with me first?"

"Hmph..." Perona narrowed her eyes, stared at Chris for a while, then turned her head and said to Youxiang and Weiwei, "The men here look pretty useless if they are not shocked. It doesn't seem like you're too worried."

"Well. Actually, I'm also a little curious about what's going on..." Wei Wei thought about it, and she said, "Mr. Chris doesn't look threatening at all, why don't we go in and wait."

There was no threat at all... Chris didn't know if he was praising himself, he looked at Youxiang awkwardly, and then greeted a smiling face: "Then Chris, can you give me some ice cream? "

"..." Chris suddenly felt that this smiling face seemed familiar, and at this moment he became even more flustered, "Sweet... there are desserts! That... I will order it! Please come in with me!"

Mr. Chris is quite cute...but why do you feel like you know him and resist him a little bit?Youxiang had a strange feeling in her heart, but it wasn't that she was afraid.They followed Chris into the mansion, and entered a room by the courtyard to rest.

The entire mansion, no, it should be said that the entire village has a unique style.It does not belong to the empire or the kingdom, it is very unique and belongs to the village's own style.There were flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard, which looked very elegant, but Youxiang and the others were not in a hurry to admire them, after all, the desserts were more attractive.

"It's delicious...Miss Perona, Miss Weiwei..."

"This taste... ah... this is a snack beyond the desert..."

"We, if we are like this... will we fall into the enemy's trick? But..."

tasty!This snack is too delicious! !The three of them ate around the dim sum for a long time, and they didn't have any intention of talking to Chris next to them, but Chris thought it was good for them to do so.Otherwise, if you ask yourself difficult questions, you are not very good at dealing with so many girls.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came from outside. Surrounded by several maids, a slightly older woman with black hair coiled up and wearing a white robe walked gracefully and dignifiedly. come over.She stood at the door of the room, looked at You Xiang who was holding half of the dim sum and looked at her in surprise, frowned slightly and said:

"You are so carefree. Do you know, Youxiang? The fate of this world is in your hands."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

You Xiang: It seems a little dangerous!

Perona: But Chris is too weak, don't worry at all.

Weiwei: After all, Mr. Chris looks helpless.

Chris: Are you polite? !
