Chapter 982 Edward Newgate (6)
Anna Eddie is the child that Yun Ci snatched back from human traffickers. She is two years older than Yun Ci, but has a high talent for fighting.
Although she started her training later, she quickly caught up with the progress and even surpassed the first group of children who followed Yun Ci.
Originally, Yun Ci wanted her to join the guard, but Anna Eddie only cared about Yun Ci's situation. She just wanted to stay with Yun Ci and finally became the head maid.
Their national construction is not very formal, and there are no messy officials or forces. They just live their own lives behind closed doors.
If you really want to evaluate it in detail, they are actually more like a village that does not conflict with the world.
The secluded 'Peach Blossom Spring'.
"King, I brought the boat left by the caravan here."
"it is good."
Although the boat was small, it had everything they needed and was enough for the two of them to live comfortably.
The guards following behind Yun Ci, each of them was carrying some supplies in their hands. Yun's father and mother also brought a lot of ready-made cooked food, which they placed one by one on the deck and turned around to ask Anna to clean up - after all, she would be the one to use them in the future, so she had to know where to put the things.
"Xiaobao, you must pay attention to safety."
Yunci hugged her parents one by one, reassuring them for the Nth time.
The boat swayed and sailed away from everyone's sight.
Yun Ci stood on the deck, looking at the gradually shrinking island full of flowers.
"We will be back soon, King."
Yun Ci turned around and looked at Anna beside her: "Anna, when you go out, don't call me Wang, just call me by my name."
"This is against the rules."
“This is to hide the identity.”
Anna met Yunci's expression and responded by calling him "Your Highness", and finally changed it to "Miss".
Just call her 'Miss', that's fine.
Anna refused Yunci's help and packed their daily necessities for the next few days into where they should be by herself.
Her movements were quick and decisive, and she even had time to set up a table and chairs on the deck and prepare a drink and some snacks for Yun Ci.
Yun Ci had already gotten used to Anna's care, so she went to the boat and started collecting information while holding the newspaper that she hadn't read yet.
Their purpose is to find devil fruits.
There were not many pirates at that time, so the devil fruits were not as popular as they are in later generations, where almost half of the pirates had used devil fruits.
Yunci plans to conduct a carpet search, visiting every place with fruit trees and visiting every stall selling fruit.
In fact, she had already prepared to imitate the devil fruit. Unexpectedly, after drifting on the sea for five years, she actually gained a lot.
Five years have passed.
At least three-fifths of the island's guards have taken devil fruits, and those with higher talents have also "blossomed" and entered their most powerful period.
The escort team consists of ten teams, and they will take turns going out with the caravan to see the outside world.
As the crops of the Elf Island became famous, and supplies were scarce, the quantities sold were small, and the prices were driven up to very high levels by the nobles.
Therefore, every time the caravan went out, they would encounter pirates who would attack them along the way, which in turn gave the members of the escort team the opportunity to become famous on the sea.
From time to time, pirates or navy officers would try to invite guard members they liked, but no one wanted to leave the Elf Island.
Edward Newgate had also heard of the fame of the Fairy Island.
But he didn't know that the Elf Island was where he was born.
It was not until one day, when he followed his fellow pirates to the Elf Island, that he realized that this road was so familiar.
This was clearly the road back to his hometown in his memory.
It was also at this time that 28-year-old Edward Newgate learned that the Elf Island, which had become famous on the sea in recent years, was actually his hometown.
"Hey, Newgate." The pirate patted the tall man standing in a daze on the boat, "Are you shocked? We have arrived at the Fairy Island."
Edward Newgate came back to his senses: "Yes, I was shocked..."
He followed everyone off the boat and traveled across the island.
This island was nothing like the one he remembered.
The flowers and farmlands all over the mountains, the exquisite commercial streets surrounded by vegetation... every place is so strange.
Edward Newgate stopped at the edge of a farmland according to his unclear memory. A not very wide river blocked the road and the farmland.
From here forward, it seems to be the direction of home in my memory...
Edward Newgate was in a daze when a figure suddenly appeared in the river in front of him.
The man's face was covered with a lotus leaf, and under him lay a long oval wooden board, which was pushed forward by the waves.
Edward Newgate was stunned for a moment, and then a figure in a maid's uniform walked past him without looking away.
——Such a strong aura.
But he just took a look and continued walking along the path, admiring the island.
In the noisy tavern, Edward Newgate put down his glass heavily and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
"Good wine!"
The waiter smiled and said, "Really? The wine from our Spirit Island is the best I've ever tasted. It's absolutely unforgettable."
"Continued Cup!"
"Okay, guest."
"Edward?" A strange voice sounded, "Is that Edward?"
Edward Newgate came back to his senses in confusion, looking at the man who should be the same age as him but whose face looked a little unfamiliar: "You are..."
He suddenly remembered something and stood up in shock: "Hao?!"
Howe nodded happily when he saw that he recognized him: "I'm glad to see you here, Edward, I'm so glad that you're okay."
Edward Newgate was still a little slow to react: "You...you weren't..."
Wasn’t it because he was trying to protect these children that he was kidnapped by human traffickers?
Hao laughed and said, "I was indeed captured and worked as a slave in someone else's house for a while, but thanks to our current king, she saved us."
"king?"
Edward Newgate had also heard of the name of that king. Everyone called that king the Elf King. Perhaps it was because this island is now called Elf Island?
Hao greeted the waiter familiarly, ordered his drink, and sat next to Edward Newgate.
"Don't worry, Edward. We have plenty of time to talk about the past since we separated."
Edward Newgate took a long breath, sat back in his seat, and raised his glass: "You are right, we have time..."
Hao is the one among the children rescued by Yun Ci who has no fighting talent.
But his talent lies in farming.
"The wine you are drinking now is brewed from the crops I planted." Hao said with emotion, "All this is because of Wang. Without her, I might still be a slave in someone else's house, or I might have died long ago..."
Edward Newgate looked a little dazed as he listened to the developments on the island over the years.
A child no more than ten years old took a group of children across the ocean, defeated the human traffickers, and went to various places to rescue them one by one?
Is he drunk?
