Pirate's Backblade Swordsman

"Is this a village where you lived before?"

Ai Lan and the others came to this village at night in the direction pointed by Irene. There was a gloomy environment around them, and there was no sign of human life at all.

If you didn't know it, you would have thought you were back on the terrifying barque.

"Aha, this is perfect for being an I Am a Ghost amusement park!"

Perona's true body did not follow her off the boat, but her ghost clone kept floating around here, 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 look on his face. He didn't know what it was about the Black Pearl that attracted this Princess Mononoke. He tried many times but couldn't drive this woman away.

On the contrary, because of Ai Lan's resistance, Perona became more determined to stay on the ship and not leave.

For Perona, it is the happiest thing for her to make Ai Lan unhappy.

The above conversation happened between Ai Lan and Perona more than once, but this was the result every time.

Ai Lan felt a little unhappy at first, but knowing that Perona also had a very powerful navigator, Ai Lan had no choice but to accept the matter.

"I don't know what happened here, but there is indeed a village where I used to live." Irene walked around and said for sure.

"Look, this is the courtyard where we lived."

Erin pointed to a small yard surrounded by a low fence, with a swing tied between two trees, and said to Ai Lan: "That swing, my brother used to hold me and sit there and play..."

Ai Lan looked at this scene and tried to recall it, but she also had any unexpected memories about this yard.

"You have..."

A skinny old woman walked out of the yard next to her and stood at the door and asked Ai Lan and the others.

Ai Lan was really shocked when a figure suddenly appeared in such a gloomy environment.

"Grandma Grit, I'm here, Irene!"

After seeing Irene, the old woman burst into tears.

"Is it really you, Your Highness?"

"Princess?"

Hearing the name "Glitt", everyone looked at Erin with wide eyes.

"Then do you have... His Highness the Second Prince?"

Greet's skinny hands gently held Ai Lan's hand, and said sadly: "Since His Highness was separated from us, the old woman has really missed him very much. I never thought that I would see His Highness again in my lifetime!"

"Grandma Grit has a special family in the palace to serve her mother. She escaped here with us during an accident in the palace." In order to avoid Ai Lan's embarrassment, Irene explained in Ai Lan's ear.

"I didn't expect that the captain actually has a prince. No wonder he is so disgusted with calling himself a pirate." Carlos whispered from the side.

Robin just stood there with his arms folded, no expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Kessel had no idea what a prince or princess was, and didn't know what to say.

Ai Lan was just standing there in embarrassment, neither admitting nor rejecting.

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

"That's right."

After Irene reminded him, Gretel stopped talking and led Ailan and the others into the house.

"What exactly happened here?"

Ai Lan is not interested in his own life experience, and he doesn't 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 Grete sigh like this, Ai Lan knew that he was in trouble again.

"It starts from the fact that the previous generation was the king, so you are the father..."

Wow, it’s really a long time ago.

"The previous generation was the king. During the reign of Elias Duke, he was brutal and dictatorial, which made the people miserable. The people couldn't live, so riots broke out. In addition, there are great shipping routes here and constant pirate robberies. It’s time for everyone to be at risk.”

When Irene heard Grete recalling the past, her face showed an expression of pain, and she got into Ailan's arms.

"Later, the eldest prince, and also your half-brother, colluded with the rebels, launched a coup, and overthrew Duke. Everyone thought that this was the beginning of a happy life, but they didn't expect that there would be another one. A pain is the beginning.”

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

It's just that after the eldest prince seized power, he did not seek benefits for the people. He only wanted to suppress the rebels who were involved in the coup with him, so the people here were in dire straits.

Grit's story is actually similar to Ailan's guess. The only difference is that at the beginning, the eldest prince Elias Kazet was still doing some human affairs, but later he was gradually blinded by power.

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

"Tsk..."

Grit was crying or bursting into 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 change is always utopian, only complete overthrow and reconstruction can find the right path!

Ai Lan cannot lead this war, otherwise it will turn into a struggle for power between royal families, rather than a so-called...revolution!

"Only the king is a tyranny, so it won't cause this place to become empty and a ghost village..." Robin is worthy of having the highest IQ among this group of people, and he immediately discovered the fundamental problem.

"Yes." Grid nodded and said, "What really caused this hellish scene was that there was a group of very powerful pirates!"

"Pirates?"

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

"But yes, pirates have pirates after all. No matter how militarized they are, they can't change their nature of plundering. Every time they win a battle or need food, they will plunder nearby towns or villages. Ichiban.”

Hearing what Grete said, Ai Lan felt a little embarrassed and touched her eyebrows.

They also have pirates. Listening to these words here, the general feeling is that they are being criticized.

"Now in the kingdom, there are three forces mixed together. In addition to the two mentioned before, there are also people who have spontaneously organized themselves as resistance forces." Speaking of these people, Grit gritted his teeth and said: "These people It will only make the country more and more chaotic, and the old woman only hopes that the second prince can take us back to the way we lived before!"
