Chapter 904 Portgas D. Ace (2)
"Xiao Ai, I remember you have an acting class today?"
Xiao Ai's body stiffened, and she ran away decisively with a laugh.
She just found the acting class very difficult to learn, and she was so nervous that she couldn't even cry!
Yun Ci felt Xiao Ai's breath fading away and shook her head helplessly.
She doesn't necessarily want Xiao Ai to learn to be a good actor, as long as she can do it and not reveal all her thoughts.
Nowadays, Xiao Ai is still too easy to be seen through.
Yun Ci secretly made a note of Xiao Ai's skipping class in her notebook, so that she would be punished by "love" when she came back.
However, ordinary human cubs seem to experience such things as well, so let Xiao Ai experience it.
"Master." The rabbit maid came up and said, "Your new painting has been hung in the selected location. The search team has brought back a batch of summoning materials, but the owner is unknown. You still need to test it yourself."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Tuyi."
"This is what I should do." Tu Yi lifted her skirt and knelt down to salute, then said she would leave first.
Assisting Yunci in managing this 'Yunci-made' island is the group of animals newly created by Yunci.
The rabbit group serves as butlers and maids.
The Owl Squad is responsible for searching and transmitting intelligence.
The brown bear family responsible for maintaining the island's buildings...
She has been in this world for more than ten years, and the reason she has not shown up is because she is studying these things.
The effect is very good.
This saved Yunci a lot of trouble.
Yun Ci went to the 'treasury', which was filled with things that would be garbage to others.
But for Yunci, these are all means to increase their manpower.
Perhaps because in her previous life she only had to lie back and watch others fight, Yun Ci still keeps this habit.
She just 'lies down' as a slightly weak summoner, and leaves the battles to the 'knights' she summons.
'Ding ding——'
Special music was heard from the woods, indicating the arrival of guests.
Yun Ci put down the broken wooden sword she had just picked up, straightened her dress, and walked towards the reception room.
"By the way, Tuyi, give me some less water later."
I just had coffee and tea, but I really can't drink any more.
Tu Yi responded respectfully and used their internal communication system to quickly pass on Yun Ci's request.
"Welcome, guest——"
*
a few days later.
The small owl that secretly followed Ace away brought back the news that Ace was captured by Teach.
Yun Ci took the initiative to call Xiao Ai.
As soon as Xiao Ai showed up, she confessed guiltily: [What's wrong, host? I didn't skip class today! ]
"If there's nothing today, then there was something before? It seems like I didn't beat him lightly before."
Xiao Ai subconsciously covered her butt and stared at Yun Ci pitifully.
"We'll talk about your matter later. Have you found the location of Roger's tomb that I asked you to look for?"
[Almost, but you can only find the approximate location. The host needs to go there yourself to find the more specific direction. ]
【But there is one good thing.】
【Lu Jiu is also sleeping nearby. 】
You can obtain two summonables of the dead at once.
"I see. Looks like I can negotiate a bigger deal with Ace next time."
Yun Ci held a thick stack of berries in her hand and smiled with her eyes curved.
The unique island floats on the waves, constantly changing position like a small boat.
The island was previously carried by the wind to the sea near where the Kingdom of Alabasta is located.
Judging from the direction Ace was heading, he should have already met Luffy.
Even if he hadn't met Yunci here, he could still find the location of Teach, who called himself "Blackbeard".
However, Yunci only created a possibility for the two people to meet.
"Tuyi, change direction and go to where Xiaoai said."
"Yes, Master."
The 'island' swayed, changed position against the sea breeze, and continued to move forward.
"Hey! Everyone! Look out at the sea! There's a strange little island!"
"real!"
A group of people lay on the bow of the Merry, looking at the island that was still gleaming with light under the night light, with stars in their eyes.
"Let's go on an adventure! Adventure!"
Nami grabbed Luffy's collar when he climbed up the railing and tried to jump over there, and punched him.
"Don't you see the castle in the middle of the island?! This must be someone else's territory!"
"castle!"
Luffy's starry eyes became even brighter, and he couldn't hear anything else.
Nami held her forehead helplessly.
"Well." Sanji lit up a cigarette, "Just keep an eye on this guy and don't make any trouble."
It is definitely impossible to stop it.
"Hey! That island is almost gone!"
Luffy waved his limbs, trying hard to break free from Nami's hands.
Nami let go of him helplessly and speechlessly, and Luffy crashed directly into the railing of the ship with a 'bang'.
“Go ahead, go ahead. Remember not to cause any trouble!” Nami muttered. “We just left Alabasta. We don’t have the energy to fight another battle like the last time…”
"Don't worry, Miss Nami, I will definitely keep an eye on this guy!"
Sanji had heart eyes and twisted around Nami.
"Master, there is a ship chasing us."
Yun Ci, who had just sent out the exploration team to look for Roger's relics, looked at the tablet handed to her by Tu Yi when she heard the voice.
"This is the Straw Hat boy's ship, the Merry."
Yun Ci didn't think they would need to purchase intelligence, at most they would come up to explore.
"Let them play. As long as they don't damage the buildings on the island, there's no need to worry about it."
"Yes."
Yun Ci returned to the treasure room and continued to use the remnants to summon souls.
Some things cannot be summoned, which means the owner of this thing is still alive.
Some can be summoned, but they have little combat power.
Yun Ci recorded everything in a book and put them in the treasure room.
For those who have reached an agreement on a contract, the summoned creature will be placed on a wooden plaque with powerful-looking patterns carved on it, which is actually a contract magic circle used to protect the soul.
Others fight for you, so you must do everything you can to protect their souls.
However, if the damage is too severe, the contract card and the summoned creature inside will shatter.
At the same time as it shatters, the formation inside will be activated, teleporting the soul back to where it should be, and at the same time, repairing the damage suffered by the opponent in the war.
Yunci is a very kind boss, yeah.
The island suddenly became lively.
The owls left the branches where they were perched, fluttered their wings and flew high into the sky, circling around the island.
The long arms pierced through the leafy tree and firmly grasped the highest branch. Then a figure flew out and blended into the group of circling owls.
"Ah ho——"
Luffy's loud laughter echoed across the island.
Yun Ci sat by the window, put the red teacup back on the cup holder, looked out at the hustle and bustle, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
"No matter how many times we come, these guys are still as noisy as ever..."
But the atmosphere is really good.
