Pirates: Be the Master from the East China Sea

From Rapeseed to Yuba, you need to cross Airuma.

It's about half a day's journey.

But Eluma, the former oasis city, has long since dried up and is completely covered by windy sand and desert. It is also home to all kinds of dangerous desert creatures: kung fu manatees that appear in groups, and deceitful birds that steal travelers' luggage. , and the huge Sundora lizard...

Therefore, the actual journey will take at least one day.

Roach bought two camels before setting off, and prepared enough water and food. After buying a sun-proof hood and cloak, he and Weiwei embarked on a desert journey. As a result, they encountered the desert not long after. Big lizard.

Then he was easily defeated by Roach.

Since Roach was in front of them to solve troubles along the way, the two passed through Eluma smoothly. When night fell, they came to Yuba, which had just been baptized by a sandstorm. Here they met Doto who was digging sand with a shovel. .

Doto is the father of the rebel leader Kosha, but unlike his son who despairs of the kingdom, he still believes in the king.

Weiwei learned from him that the rebels had moved to Cattleya.

"how so……"

Weiwei fell to the ground dejectedly: "So we wasted the whole day in vain?..."

"It doesn't matter, it should be too late."

Roach gently helped Weiwei up: "Since the rebels have not been moved to Cartwright for a long time, just resting and arranging their troops will take a certain amount of time, and they may not be mentally prepared for a full-scale decisive battle..."

Weiwei forced a smile and did not refute Luo Qi's comforting words.

"No matter what, we have to spend the night here tonight."

Roach said methodically: "I can deal with those desert creatures, but the desert itself at night is a danger. I can't guarantee the absolute safety of the two of us, and you are already very tired physically and mentally, and you need a good rest now." , let’s wait until tomorrow to discuss tomorrow’s matters.”

Weiwei could only nod.

As a princess who grew up in a desert country, she knew that Roach was right.

The two rested at Doto's house that night.

Although there is an extra room in Dotu's house, in order to ensure Weiwei's safety, Luo Qi still insists on sleeping in the same room with her.

Of course, he was playing on the floor.

When the midnight moonlight shone in from the window frame, Weiwei, who couldn't sleep from turning over, simply stood up, came to the bed and stared at the gentle moonlight outside, but in her heart she was thinking about the complicated situation, rebellion, and conspiracy in the country. , drought, poor people, bandits taking advantage of the chaos...

She couldn't help but sigh deeply.

She had been feeling anxious these days, but she never showed it.

Because she doesn't want her emotions to affect others.

"Are you insomnia?"

Roach's voice rang out in the silent room, and he stood up and walked to Weiwei's side: "Are you worried about the situation in the country?"

"I just wanted to get to Cartwright as soon as possible."

Weiwei pursed her lips: "Whether they are the rebels or the king's army, everyone is innocent. They all want to save this country. The one who really deserves death is Crocodile who masterminded the conspiracy. Except for I don’t want anyone else to die except him!”

"We are talking about a dispute involving millions of people. It is very unrealistic not to die..."

Roach was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Actually, even if we arrive at Cartwright, can we really save the current situation? The Sand Crocodile has been carefully planning for so many years to usurp the country, and it won't let you break the situation so easily. , even if you dissuade Kousha, he must have other back-ups, and the rebel high-ups must have someone from the working company undercover. It may be very dangerous to go there as you..."

"I know what you said."

Weiwei slowly shook her head: "But there is nothing I can do except risk my life!"

"Why not go straight to Huanglong?"

Roach put forward his long-planned suggestion: "As long as Crocodile is solved, the whole situation will open up. Without the Baroque Working Society to disrupt the situation, I believe the king will soon clarify the facts..."

"If I could help it, I would rather die with him."

Weiwei still shook her head and said: "But Crocodile is so powerful that even the government wanted to bribe him to become a Shichibukai. I heard that although his original bounty was 8000 million, his real strength far exceeded some of the bounties that exceeded [-] million. pirate, it is almost impossible to defeat him."

"But you have started this war."

Roach said seriously: "Ever since you lurked in the Baroque Working Society, you have been declaring war on Crocodile. At this time, there is no point in escaping, because as long as you want to save this country, in the end I will definitely confront him.”

"In that case, let us start from the beginning..."

Roach's eyes became very firm: "Just bet all your chips and have a showdown with him!"

"I'm very grateful for your thoughtfulness..."

Weiwei bit her lip: "But you have been kind enough to protect my safety all the way. I can't let you take such a big risk for my own persistence! I don't want 100 million people to fight against each other, nor do I want you to A man put himself in danger for me!"

"I will act while ensuring safety. After all, I still have to live to accept your reward."

Luo Qi smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you promise me? As long as this matter is over, you will agree to any request I have! There are many things I want, but if I die now, everything will be in vain. .”

Weiwei pursed her lips and showed a slight smile.

"Actually, I have never said thank you seriously." She turned her head and stared into Luo Qi's eyes sincerely: "But I am really grateful in my heart. Without your help, I would not be where I am today. You are my benefactor and the whole kingdom!”

"So you're no longer alone."

Roach opened his mouth and said something beautiful: "I will always accompany you through this difficulty. When Crocodile is solved and the kingdom regains peace, we will have a drink together to celebrate the victory."

"Yes! Definitely!" Weiwei finally showed a warm smile.

"Then let's go to bed early."

Luo Qi took the initiative to end the topic: "Stick up your energy and leave early for the rainy land tomorrow!"

Weiwei nodded obediently.

Just after the two of them got into bed, Weiwei suddenly remembered something: "By the way, the temperature in our desert city is very low at night. I have become accustomed to it over the years, but will it be cold if you sleep on the ground? "

"well enough……"

Roach shrugged indifferently, and then suddenly sneezed.

"Why don't you come to bed and sleep?"

Seeing this, Weiwei quickly gave up her seat inside: "The space on the bed is quite large, so it shouldn't be too crowded for two people."

"OK then."

Roach simply did not refuse, rolled up his bed and got into bed.

The two of them were lying together with their clothes on.

until dawn.
