Pirate Shadow Guardian

The port of the Gothic Kingdom.

With the young lady's introduction, Yang Ye and the others finally understood the meaning of the so-called Chosen Ones, the Jealous Ones, and the Chosen Ones.

According to the young lady, the Gothic Kingdom pursues beauty and values ​​beauty.

From Yang Ye's understanding, it means being obsessed with looks and being obsessed with appearance.

In Gothic Kingdom, you can really use face recognition!

Moreover, being handsome means justice, and being beautiful means you can do whatever you want!

This reminded Yang of a woman with a nose in the air...

Here, people are divided into several levels according to their appearance.

The highest level is those favored by God, which means those who are favored by God.

They are all first-rate handsome men and beautiful women, enjoying aristocratic treatment.

The treatment for the nobility here is not to give them power or fiefdoms, but simply to eat and buy things without having to pay, and there are execution quotas for those who are lower in status than themselves.

A slightly lower level is the Chosen One, meaning a messenger chosen by God to walk on earth.

These people have above average beauty and can be described as pleasing to the eye.

These people enjoy the rights of high-ranking citizens, and they don't have to spend money on personal consumption, but they must respond to requests from those favored by heaven. In contrast, they have a quota for executing those abandoned by heaven.

The abandoned ones are people who are so ugly that even God hates them. They have a very low status in the Gothic Kingdom, doing the hardest and most tiring work, earning the meager income and barely surviving starvation.

The Chosen Ones is a special name for the silver-haired citizens.

It means the lucky one chosen by the royal family.

(From now on, I will refer to them as the royal family. I always feel that the term "royal family" is a bit confusing.)

The King of the Gothic Kingdom had many children, but the most favored one was a prince named Nida.

The prince's beauty astounded the whole country, and what's more, he had silver hair!

Thus, relying on the king's favor and his own crazy narcissism about silver hair, Prince Nida mobilized the whole country to collect silver-haired slaves, and broke the hundreds of years of tradition of the Gothic Kingdom in one fell swoop, and forcibly joined the class of the Chosen Ones.

The Holy Chosen One sounds very high-end, and in fact, the status is indeed not low.

To some extent, the status of the Chosen Ones is higher than that of the Favored Ones.

but…

No matter how high the status of a slave is, he is still a slave.

So what is the meaning of these slaves?

The original words of the young lady are:

"The duty of the Chosen Ones is to serve Prince Nida. Prince Nida built a palace composed entirely of silver-haired humans. It is said that the palace is as beautiful as a fairyland and has been praised by many nobles and even the Celestial Dragons!"

After Yang Ye translated and sorted it out, the meaning of this passage became:

Prince Nida built a high-end club with a silver-hair theme, which specializes in serving nobles and also serves the Celestial Dragons, who gave it five-star reviews.

Damn it!

Could it be that Prince Nida has also traveled through time?

This advanced consciousness, this epoch-making feat...

Even in the past life, if there was such a theme club, then...

That has nothing to do with Yang Ye, he simply can't afford it!

Yang also had some doubts. The nobles of the Gothic Kingdom that he had met on Poli Island before seemed to be all ugly...

The young lady also gave a thoughtful answer to this question.

In this country where appearance is everything, even if you are aristocrat, you are not allowed to go out if you are not good-looking, or you are sent far away, which means you are sent abroad.

What if a good-looking person becomes ugly as he or she gets older?

There is a place that is dedicated to accommodating those people who have made contributions to the country and dedicated themselves to their beauty.

That is "Old Man Town".

The Old People's Town is not entirely populated by old people. There are also a large number of young people who are abandoned by heaven and are dedicated to serving these old people.

This is not because this country is very humane, but because it was established specifically for the king and the nobles.

They will also grow old, and even when they are old, they cannot lack enjoyment. It’s just that the quality of their enjoyment has slightly decreased, becoming those that are not so good-looking.

In addition, there is a special class called "the jealous ones".

That is the same class as the young lady in front of you.

The jealous ones enjoy the same treatment as the chosen ones, and both must wear veils.

A person who is envied by heaven is one who can be regarded as favored by heaven in all aspects, but has some flaws. For example, the young lady has a not-so-obvious birthmark on her face, which makes her originally good-looking appearance become a little imperfect.

Therefore, this group of people were called "God-jealous people".

As for the disfigured...

Then the level needs to be re-evaluated.

If you still look good with the veil on, you can continue to be the chosen one. If you don't look good, you can go to the bottom of society and become the abandoned one to support the whole kingdom.

Perhaps, because you are beautiful, some little nobles will be willing to have a beautiful child with you.

"Old People's Town" especially welcomes such abandoned people.

This strange and complete social structure amazed Yangye and Zoro. Even Jasmine was stunned as she listened with her mouth open.

"Thank you for clearing up my confusion, young lady."

Yang also thanked him sincerely.

"Then run for your life and don't get caught!"

The young lady still enthusiastically urged Yang to run away.

"Escape? If I escape, what will you do, little sister?"

"Me? It's okay, I'll be fine!"

"I mean, if I escape, what will happen to your mission, little sister?"

.........

The young lady was stunned, and even Zoro and Jasmine were stunned.

"Moli, kill her."

The dagger was unsheathed and pierced the heart cleanly and neatly.

The young lady's perfect body fell to the ground, showing an attractive S-shape, but the bloody hole on her chest destroyed the overall beauty.

Because Zoro and Jasmine were present, Yang also said a few words to thank the young lady for providing him with information.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a bit too strange to suddenly kill the kind-hearted young lady for no apparent reason?

"Zoro, prepare to fight."

"what."

Although Zoro did not have the exaggerated Observation Haki like Yoya, his keen intuition and Yoya's reminder made him feel that the atmosphere was not right.

The most obvious manifestation is that the blocks near them are empty.

"How did you find out there was something wrong with her?"

Zoro was still a little curious, and asked while being on guard. Jasmine's cute little ears also stood up high, and she was obviously curious too.

"It's not hard to find out actually. Just think about it, we just landed and a warm-hearted lady appeared, and then accidentally revealed our identities."

"After that, he kept telling us to leave, but he kept changing the subject and stalling for time."

This is what makes Yang most unhappy, and it is also the way for this young lady to die!

"Then, she talked about the Silver-haired Chosen One. How could he, as Prince Nida's personal slave, appear at the port? Apparently, she had discovered from the beginning that we were outsiders."

"Finally, the most important point is: my Observation Haki sensed it! From the moment she screamed, ordinary people around her began to evacuate, and the guards gradually surrounded her."

At first, Zoro was listening with great interest, as if he was listening to a detective drama.

Until he heard the last sentence...

"So, why don't you just say the last sentence? Why did you say so much before?"

"Say more, I'll look smarter..."

Yang also shrugged, he was very happy just being naughty!

"boring!"
