Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dust of History
Kingdom of Goa
The new merchant ship has been sailing for more than three months carrying Shen Ye and two children, and finally sees the 'noble' port.
As one of the more than 200 member countries of the world government, and because of the prevalence of segregation in the upper echelons, and because of the proximity to Mary Joy, the economic development here can be described as quite good.
In the entire East China Sea, it can be regarded as a benchmark existence!
The most beautiful country in the East China Sea, with its slogan 'Eliminate unnecessary things perfectly' and its spotless land, is almost a paradise on earth for those wealthy merchants and aristocrats.
If you think about it, the real surprise of Goya is not only the economic and political prosperity, but also the breeding of talents!
For example, the protagonist Luffy, the revolutionary army Sabo, and the Golbo Mountain thief Aunt Kali Dadan, as the base camp of Karp's adopted grandson, Ye Yi invested a lot of resources here.
Therefore, he has the capital to let Shen Ye destroy the construction of the isolated society as the second master.
At the current point in time, the uncertain terminal that later served as the base camp of the three Luffy brothers has not been completely separated from the urban system, and the end town inhabited by homeless people is only a prototype.
The sea breeze was blowing on the deck in the dark night, and Rosinandi was jumping around beside him and looking into the distance, full of curiosity about the city.
"Why don't you go up high with Dover and look through a telescope?" Shen Ye placed the glass with lemonade on the small table beside him, he didn't know he liked this acidic drink so much before the long voyage.
Luo Nandi followed Shen Ye's gaze to the high observation deck on the ship and shook his head, "Mr. Ah Ye, can I ask you a question?" ”
Shen Ye nodded with a relaxed face, and Luo Nandi asked, "Those people who died before......" He looked a little hesitant, "Will Mr. Ye Yi take care of their family?" ”
Shen Ye spread his hands, "They don't have a family. ”
"The Wandering Island has a lot of power in both the first half of the Paradise and the second half of the New World, but we are different from the Navy, the Seven Martial Seas, and the Four Emperors."
"We are loners in this world, so we will not hire women who are fertile or bring their families."
Shen Ye turned around and glanced at the busy sailors on the ship, "A lonely settlement. ”
Rosinandi's mouth opened wide in surprise.
This is the first time that Mr. Ah Ye has taken the initiative to talk about the mysterious wandering island, that place...... Is it so scary?
But Mr. Ye Yi seemed to be very kind.
Shen Ye smiled and rubbed Luo Xindi's soft blonde hair, "Although we are all alone, as an organization, there is still a basic friendship. ”
"Everyone who dies will have a beautiful tomb on the Wandering Island, everyone's name will be engraved on a high stone tablet, and every year a great festival will be held to commemorate them."
"There are also many dedicated priests on the island, who do one thing in their lives - recite the names on the monument and then thank them for the sacrifice they made for the Wandering Island at the sacrificial ceremony."
"In previous years, the ceremony was always accompanied by carols for a day and a night, which was very spectacular, and if you have the opportunity, I can take you back to feel it."
When Shen Ye first knew that Ye Yida had engaged in this kind of humanitarian and exalted memorial tradition, he was really surprised!
Not to mention Rosinandi, who is still a child!
It's just that his surprise was slightly different from Shen Ye's-
"But the man ...... The man is dead! Roxinandi asked confusedly, of course it is a good thing to be commemorated, but ...... Isn't it better to be alive?
Shen Ye was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Luo Nandi to be a pragmatic person!
He thought the kid was going to be a romantic! After his death, he was almost moved to cry when he was forever commemorated!
"There is one death in the end—heavier than a mountain or lighter than a feather."
"For a person like the first mate who is alone for various reasons, being remembered by some people forever after death is already the happiest thing in life."
Shen Ye squatted down, looked at Roxinandi and said, "Only a small part of the world's deaths can be endowed with lofty meaning and have the value of being remembered. Most people are dead for a hundred years...... No, maybe in a few decades, no one in the world will ever know that they ever existed. ”
"The vast majority of people are not even the dust of history, but a by-product of the desire to reproduce."
"So, Rosinandi, let their deaths go with the wind, and there will be people on the Wandering Island who will always remember them for you."
"Forget it, okay?"
In Shen Ye's gentle smile, Roxinan Di saw some kind of terrible fearlessness.
Many years later, he was accustomed to seeing death, and it was in Doflamingo's eyes that he saw this look again, and he made up his mind to kill his brother.
In a world where the 'will of D' floats and fatalism flourishes, fate is hard to break.
This is one of the major reasons for the high mortality rate in the missions related to the top war.
How difficult is it to change cause and effect?
"Hey !!"
Doflamingo, who was holding a telescope on the lookout, seemed to see something very interesting, and excitedly threw a small wooden cylinder made of 'microphone' in the direction where Shen Ye was.
A long silk thread connects the two ends of the microphone—
The toys used to tease children in the previous life were used by Shen Ye to coax children again in this era.
However, in three months, Doflamingo's use of the thread fruit has been quite pure, and Shen Ye, as a prophet who stole the script and at least stole the skill setting, quickly developed Doflamingo into one of the main combat forces.
Except that the grade is too young and his physical strength is really unable to surprise him, the current Doflamingo has clearly exceeded Shen Ye's expectations.
Rosinandi picked up the microphone and put it next to his ear, and Doflamingo shouted, "Rosinandi, palace!" I saw a palace that looked a lot like the Ogier family! ”
Although the toys were made by him, Shen Ye still wanted to complain.
Young man, you have such a loud voice, you don't need a microphone, be careful that your brother is deaf!
However, the two children enjoyed it, and Shen Ye was also happy, no matter how shameless and despicable the adult was, he would be moved by the child's innocence.
Although the reaction after being moved varies.
Like some pleasure criminals, they should be pulled out and shot.
"No matter how similar the palace is, you are not allowed to trespass, you know?" Shen Ye shouted at Doflamingo.
"Got it!"
"Long-winded!"
I really want to blow up this little ghost's dog's head!
70 favorability can't be exchanged for a salutation, and Doflamingo, who also has fantasies about Mary Joa, is really a person who speaks honorifics and can die!
