Pirate's Backblade Swordsman

Chapter 144
"Is this the village where you lived before?"

It was night when Ai Lan and the others came to this village in the direction Irene pointed, and the surroundings were gloomy, and there was no sign of anyone living there.

If you don't know, you might think you're back on the terrifying three-masted sailing ship.

"Aha, this is very suitable as my ghost amusement park!"

Perona's body didn't follow the boat, her ghost avatar kept floating here and there, looking very happy.

"If you like it here, stay here and don't go back to the boat."

"I do not!"

Ai Lan looked at Perona with a dark face. He didn't know what attracted this Princess Mononoke on the Black Pearl. He chased her away many times, but he couldn't drive her away.

On the contrary, because of Ai Lan's resistance, Perona strengthened her belief in staying on board.

For Perona, making Ai Lan unhappy is the happiest thing for her.

The above conversation happened more than once between Ai Lan and Perona, but every time it ended like this.

At first, Ai Lan felt a little unhappy, but when she knew that Perona was still a very good navigator, Ai Lan still reluctantly accepted the matter.

"I don't know what happened here, but this is indeed the village where I used to live." Irene turned around and said with certainty.

"Look, this is the yard we lived in."

Irene pointed to a small yard surrounded by a low fence, and said to Ai Lan that there was a swing tied between two trees: "That swing, my brother used to sit there and play with me in his arms..."

Ai Lan looked at this scene and tried her best to recall, but she still couldn't think of any memory about this courtyard.

"You are……"

A thin old woman walked out of the nearby yard, stood at the door and asked Ai Lan and the others.

The sudden appearance of a figure in such a gloomy environment really shocked Ailan.

"Grandma Gretel, it's me, Irene!"

After seeing Irene, the old woman burst into tears.

"Is it really you, Your Royal Highness?"

"Princess?"

Hearing Gretel's address, everyone stared at Irene with wide eyes.

"Then you are... His Royal Highness the Second Prince?"

Gretel gently took Ai Lan's hand with his skinny hands, and said sadly: "Since His Highness was separated from us, the old woman really misses her very much. I never thought that I would see His Highness again in my lifetime!"

"Grandma Greeter is dedicated to serving her mother in the palace, and escaped here with us during the palace's accident." In order to avoid Alan's embarrassment, Irene explained in Ailan's ear.

"I didn't expect the captain to be a prince, no wonder he hates calling himself a pirate so much." Carlos whispered beside him.

Robin just stood there with his arms folded, with no expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Kessel had no concept of princes and princesses, and didn't know what to say.

Only Ai Lan stood there in embarrassment, neither admitting nor refusing.

"Grandma Gretel, brother doesn't remember many things, let's talk about these later."

"That's right."

Under Irene's reminder, Gretel stopped talking and led Ai Lan and the others into the room.

"What exactly happened here?"

Ai Lan is not interested in his life experience, nor does he want to pursue it too much, but he is very curious about why this place is so gloomy.

"Oh..." Granny Greeter sighed.

Got it!
Hearing Gretel's sigh, Ailan knew that she was in trouble again.

"The matter starts with the king of the previous generation, that is, your father..."

Whoa, it's been a long time.

"The king of the previous generation, during the reign of Elias Duke, was brutal and arbitrary, making the people's lives miserable. The people couldn't survive, and riots occurred. In addition, this is a great shipping route, and pirates are constantly plundering. Time is at everyone's peril."

Irene heard Gretel recall the past, with a painful expression on her face, and got into Alan's arms.

"Later, the eldest prince, who is your half-brother, colluded with the rebel army, launched a coup, and overthrew Duke. Everyone thought this would be the beginning of a happy life, but it turned out to be another pain Start."

Alright, after hearing this, Ai Lan basically guessed the progress of the story.

It was nothing more than the fact that after the eldest prince won the power, he did not seek benefits for the people, but only wanted to suppress the rebels who joined him in the coup d'état, which made the people here look like they were in dire straits.

Glitter's narration is actually similar to Ailan's guess. The only difference may be that the eldest prince Elias Cazette was doing some personnel work at the beginning, but later he was gradually overwhelmed by power.

"Your Highness, Second Prince, you must save us poor people!"

"Tsk..."

Gretel was crying tears, but Ai Lan was not moved at all.

You have been cheated like this by two generations of kings successively, don't you still resist?

Expecting top-down reform is always utopian, and only complete overthrow and reconstruction is the correct path!

Ai Lan can't lead this war, otherwise it will become a power struggle among the royal families, not the so-called...revolution!
"It's just the king's tyranny, it won't turn this place into an empty ghost village..." Robin deserved to be the one with the highest IQ among this group of people, and he discovered the fundamental problem immediately.

"Yes." Gretel nodded, and said, "It is a group of very powerful pirates that really caused this hellish scene!"

"Pirates?"

"Yes, they are a group of militarized pirates who claim to be the Royal Pirates. They are constantly in conflict with the royal army, and they have fought countless battles in recent years."

"However, pirates are pirates after all. No matter how militarized, they can't change their nature of plundering. Every time they win a battle or need food, they will plunder a piece of food in nearby towns or villages." fan."

Hearing what Gretel said, Ai Lan touched her eyebrows in embarrassment.

They are also pirates. Listening to these words here, there is always a feeling of being accused and scolded.

"In the kingdom now, there are three forces mixed together. In addition to the two mentioned before, there are also rebels organized by the people spontaneously." Mentioning these people, Greet said with a bit of gritted teeth: "These people only It will make the country more and more chaotic, the old woman only hopes that the second prince can bring us back to our previous life!"
