Pirate reincarnated into slime

Chapter 168

When he got to the shore, Roland was slightly taken aback by the scene in front of him. After all, the situation that came into view at this time did not match the name "Wasteland" at all.

Exquisite buildings and streets, bustling crowds, shouts one after another... No matter how you look at it, it is a bustling island. It is hard to imagine that it was still in ruins decades ago.

It wasn't just Roland who was surprised, but Meilin and the others who had heard Angelina's brief introduction to the island were also very surprised, and couldn't wait to visit the island.

Roland didn't intend to make them wait any longer, so he took the lead and walked into the city.

Perhaps it was because of his richer sailing experience, now Roland found that he also had a little bit of the emotion called "exploring the island".

Appreciating the customs, replenishing supplies, entertaining and resting... Amidst the laughter, Roland and the others had arrived at the other side of the small town before they knew it.

The atmosphere here is completely different from the other side of the city.

Although there are also many buildings next to it, they are not tall houses, but temporary stalls everywhere, and the shouts of vendors can be heard from far away.

There are still a lot of people here, but unlike the city center, they are basically armed guys, and they are not ordinary residents at a glance. Roland is not surprised by this, he has expected it a long time ago.

In addition to these differences in details, what really brings visual impact is the high wall rising from the ground in front of it. The towering wall blocks the way and divides the world inside and outside the wall into two.

Roland was also not too surprised by this, because this was the destination of their trip!

Roland did not forget the real reason why he came to this island - this country rising from the wasteland has a special "business".

More than ten years ago, the king promulgated a decree, announcing that the corpses of mutant creatures in the wasteland would be recovered at a price that was not high but not low, and that the exchangers could be residents of the island or not.

The purpose of this decree is not difficult to guess, it is to allow people outside the island to help clean up the mutated creatures on the island.

For this decree, although the money used is the tax of the islanders, they did not object. Compared with money, their own lives are more important. After all, no one knows when the mutated creatures outside the barrier will invade into the barrier.

And for those powerful islanders who are not afraid of mutated creatures, they will not object. After all, this can be regarded as an extra way for them to earn money, and they can easily earn back their taxes.

Because of this special business, some navigators passing by this island, if they have some strength and lack of money, will basically not let go of such a good opportunity.

After the voyagers made money and left, the news about the island was spread by word of mouth, and before they knew it, the reputation of this small island grew.

When he learned of this, Roland decided that he had to come, not to make money, but to earn pure energy!

Even a country cannot be wiped out by itself, and it has to rely on the power of the voyagers. It is conceivable that these mutant creatures are either huge in number or very strong, and no matter which point it is, it means that they can be transformed into a large number of pure creatures. energy.

……

"Captain, do we want to go in and practice?" Meilin was the first to ask at the exit door.

To her surprise, Roland shook his head, "It's not us, it's me."

"Ah? Does the captain want to go in alone?" Mei Lin was stunned, a little disappointed, "Is it because we are too weak?"

Xiaoyu next to her couldn't help showing a disappointed expression. In the past two days, they were already a little depressed because their strength was quickly overtaken by Ryuguin Seiya. They finally got better after going shopping on the island. Now that they heard Roland's words, The mood went down again.

Waji didn't think so much, but he also looked at Roland, waiting for Roland's answer.

Roland was only a little dull occasionally. Of course, he noticed Mei Lin's obvious depression, and quickly explained, "No, it's for another reason. I want to prey on the mutant creatures on a large scale, and you can only watch it." , why not take this opportunity to relax in the city."

"That's right, but..."

"No, but, really, don't think you are weak just because I don't ask you to help fight, you are only so old now, you are already very strong with this strength, although it is far from the strong, but as long as you You need to practice step by step, and you will naturally become stronger and stronger, so you have to have some confidence in yourself."

"Already strong?" Mei Lin and Xiaoyu said in unison, both a little confused. After all, there are too many enemies who are stronger than them along the way.

"Well, I'm already very strong." Roland patted Mei Lin's shoulder, then touched Xiaoyu's head, "I know you all want to become stronger immediately and help me, but don't be in such a hurry, I I don't have any ambitions, I don't need you to conquer the world for me."

Seeing that the two were still silent, Roland continued, "Melin, Xiaoyu, and Lina, Ika, and Waji, you three also listen to me. I will take this opportunity to tell you what's on my mind. clear.

We have been partners for a while, and you all know my goal, but I have no goal, I just want to travel around the sea, and when I have enough fun, I will go home.

Time at sea is lonely. Therefore, on the way of travel, I will not refuse anyone who wants to board the ship. I also actively invite those who I want to board the ship. I don’t want to lead you to make a name for yourself. I just wish I had a companion.

But this is just my opinion, you are also independent individuals, you will watch, listen and think during the journey, you will have your own ideas, your own goals, you will find your own way, and then when the journey is over, you will go your own way to a different future.

Originally, I took this kind of thing for granted, so I never mentioned it, but the situation seems to be different from what I thought, you idiots, all of you are too good to me and too bad to yourself!Really, one by one, all thinking about how to help me... Then I will be reluctant to go home...

So I am telling you very seriously now, what I hope to see is that you can go your own way instead of walking the way I have walked!
First of all, Mei Lin, with your current strength, it's like playing with that stupid bull. Why do you still feel weak?
And Xiaoyu, in the same way, with your strength, all the missionaries in Goa Kingdom can't catch you. Why do you think you are weak?

Lina, too, has recently become so negative. Didn't you want to complete the task of the master at the beginning?With your current level of navigator who has kept our White Ape sailing safely, what else is there to be ashamed of?
Then there is Ika, I know that even though you call me Captain, you still regard me as your birdcage, and only want to follow my orders. You have never seriously thought about what you are going to do, although I I'm glad you trust me so much, but this is not what I hoped for...

Waji too, you were the first to board the boat, what were your thoughts?Why leave the comfortable forest and follow me to the sea?Although your current strength has indeed improved a lot compared to before, but in the recent period of time, you have not been motivated, whether it is exploration, cultivation, or even fishing, you are listless. Think about it carefully. Why? , if you are tired of life at sea, I don't mind sending you back to Salvi Island at all.

...Sorry, it's a bit exaggerated, but this is my heart, and I want to convey my thoughts to you.

Now, you all go back to the boat, or find a hotel on the island, and then think about what I just said, think about what kind of road you are going to go, don't think too much about me, I hope to hear , about your own thoughts.

I will be back around noon tomorrow, and you will reply to me then.

By the way, you also have signal flares, so remember to signal if something goes wrong. "

After finishing speaking, Roland turned around and walked towards the gate. After passing through the gate, the real wasteland was outside.

Behind Roland, Mei Lin and the others watched Roland's figure drifting away quietly, each of them was silent and didn't know what they were thinking.

After a while, they turned around and walked in the direction of the White Ape. They were still speechless along the way.
