Chapter 30: The Dream Chaser
The captain saw the careful thinking of this group of rich people, and naturally he would not get used to them, and put an end to this farce with a strong attitude.
Meliodas was very depressed, originally heard that the destination of this time Dressrosa is a very suitable island for tourism, and the people there are also very warm to outsiders, very appetite for him, so he wanted to go and see, at that time he was still feeling lucky in his heart, and he happened to meet the ship to Dressrosa, but now this feeling of being splashed with cold water makes Meliodas very ....... It doesn't seem like much.
"Well~ Since you're going to sail back, you still won't go with them, if you go back and let Reilly and Xia Qi see it, I'm afraid I'll be scared to death, hahaha! No, when I thought of Xia Qi's expression, I sneered~ Forget it, since you're halfway gone, how can you go back. ”
Meliodas stood there and pondered for a moment, then condensed a pair of magical wings behind him, and flew off his toes into the distance.
Holger Island is a small island in the New World, because it is not a closed country, and when viewed from above, the island is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the blue water is sparkling, and the whole island is like a crescent moon hanging in the night sky.
Meliodas looked at the island below, folded his wings, and slowly landed on the island.
This scene happened to be seen by a little boy who was out playing, the little boy looked only eleven or twelve years old, with short black and refreshing hair, a pair of golden pupils, watching Meliodas fall from the sky, a trace of surprise appeared on his immature little face.
The boy's name is Roald, and tomorrow the village will hold an annual shell collecting contest to see who picks up the most shells this year, and it must be intact and not broken in the slightest, and the winner will get a sail made by the best boatman in the village, and all the shells will be handed over to the boatsmith, because he has a good craft, and he has made a lot of money by trading with foreign merchants.
And Roald, who has dreamed of being a pirate since he was a child, naturally will not give up this opportunity, and wants to be a free sea warrior and go on adventures all over the world, and Roald's family, only he and his sister, who usually help other people in the village work, and the support of neighbors barely live normally, so naturally there is no money to buy a boat.
So, Roald put the idea on this competition, in order to win this victory, Roald came to the beach in advance to recon the terrain, to see that it is easier to find shells on the beach over there, what Roald didn't know was that the organizers of the competition had observed the competition in the past few years, and had calculated which day there would be a big wave, and then there would be a pile of colorful shells on the beach. There is no cheating at all,
Sure enough, Roald, who had been looking for a long time, had no gain, and went to the ground in despair, and then saw Meliodas descending from the sky.
Suddenly, all the loss was thrown away, and his eyes ran in the direction of Meliodas with golden light.
When Meliodas sensed someone coming, he stopped and turned his head to look at the little boy who was running towards him.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Roald shouted with a wave of his hand at Meliodas. After running for more than ten seconds, he stood in front of Meliodas, panting heavily, and couldn't say anything when he was tired.
Meliodas looked at the tired and breathless little boy and asked with a smile: "That~ little friend, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
"I, I'm not a child! My name is Roald, and I'm going to be a free pirate! Let my name ring across the sea! When Meliodas said his least favorite word, Roald was angry and said anything.
"Eh~ It's really fake, whether it can be realized or not, but the dream is still great, is it free, it's really a desirable thing~" Meliodas said and thought about it, and then remembered something: "But you still haven't told me what happened to you?" ”
"Are you a pirate?" Roald asked excitedly.
"Pirates? I'm sorry, but I'm not. Meliodas replied patiently, confused.
"Then who are you, why do you fly, since you can fly, then you must be very strong, please, if you want to leave, take me with you!" Roald became more and more agitated as he spoke, and his eyes slowly became firm.
Meliodas was even more stunned when he heard this: "Huh? Why are you leaving, are you going to be a pirate, although I have a bounty, but I'm not a pirate, but if I want to take you away, I need you to tell your family, otherwise they will be worried. ”
"Really! But ......" Roald heard the next sentence as soon as he finished his excitement, and began to think of his sister involuntarily.
"Okay, okay, since you're worried about it again, don't leave, there should be your important relatives here." Meliodas stretched and touched Roald's head with a smile.
"Nope! I must leave! Sister's words...... If you can...... Can you take my sister with you? Roald was a little embarrassed at the thought of his sister.
"Of course."
"Really!"
Meliodas's tone suddenly became serious: "Follow me, you may die, are you ready to come to your senses?" ”
Roald also looked serious when he heard this: "I'm fine!"
"What about your sister, have you ever thought that he is willing to take risks with you?" Meliodas still didn't change his tone just now, and asked in a deep voice.
"I'm ......" Before Roald could finish speaking, he heard a familiar voice.
"I do! I'll go wherever my brother goes! A little girl with long blond hair and golden eyes like Roald's, dressed in a cloth coat, ran out of the grass beside her.
"Leah! How did you get out! Roald was also a little moved when he saw his sister.
Liya whispered, "I saw you running out in a hurry, I thought something was wrong, so I secretly followed." ”
It turned out that Leah came with her early in the morning, silently watching Roald running around on the beach, and thinking of the prize of that competition, Leah instantly thought of Roald's purpose and understood how important this dream was to Roald.
All of this was naturally within Meliodas's perception, and the little girl's worried look was enough to see her identity, but he didn't say anything, wanting to test the consciousness of the Roald siblings. Now, the results are clear, and Colliodas is satisfied.
