On the cliffs of Crescent Island, the sunset has sunk below the sea level.

Donner sat where Ed had jumped off the cliff, looking at the billowing waters below, his face expressionless.

Ed's body was swept into the sea by the waves, and there was no trace of him, and the blood he shed was like a drop of ink dripping into the sea, and it was instantly assimilated by the blue water.

Matthew and Mike returned, and they came up behind Donner and whispered, "I've searched all around, but I haven't found any trace of Eddard." ”

"The sea is so deep that we can't dive in. Matthew added.

Donner didn't look back, nodded silently, and his voice was hoarse: "Got it." ”

Donner turned his head and asked, "Tell me what happened to you guys these days, and what's going on with the scars on Eddard's face?"

Mike sighed and said, "What else can it be, every time you go to sea, you go out to loot." A few days ago, when we went to the north, we came across a merchant ship, and we robbed the merchant ship and killed all the people on it. ”

"Don't you know, Donner, Ed's whole family was killed by robbers, he never wanted to be a pirate, and he hated killing, almost every time he went to sea, Ed hid behind. But this time, Captain Willy forced Ed to kill a little girl, but Ed refused, so he was whipped by Captain Willy. There are many scars not only on the face, but also on the body. ”

"It was useless for us to plead with Captain Willy, so he forced Ed to kill. ”

Donner was silent for a moment and asked, "Did Ed kill it?" ”

"Kill!" Matthew replied, "No, Captain Willie will not stop, saying that he will kill Eddard." He said that as a pirate, he didn't even dare to kill people, so he might as well die. ”

"Huh!" Donner sneered twice.

Matthew Mac glanced at each other, a little hesitant: "Donner, we really want to know if what they said is true...... You...... Is it really a lie to us?"

"The pirate group taunts us about this almost every day, and everyone is confused, can you tell us about it, Donner?"

Donner shook his head, not knowing whether he was denying the authenticity of the territory or the pirates' words, he looked at Mike and asked flatly, "Do you believe me?"

Several people glanced at each other, hesitated, but nodded.

"It's good if you believe me, don't worry, I will definitely give you an answer in the future. Donner said to a few people seriously, and then he turned his head and looked calmly at the sea and said, "You go back first, and let me be alone for a while." ”

"Alright!" Matthew and Mike nodded, and left the sea cliff with a few men.

"This world really doesn't let people live!" said Donner muttered as the cold sea breeze blew on his face.

To be honest, Donner is a person with no big ambitions, as long as he can live a stable life, he will be satisfied.

When he came to this world, he had no ambition to change the world, nor did he have any ideals of competing for hegemony and becoming a nobleman.

Leaving his status as a slave and becoming a pirate, his only thought is to improve his life.

As a deputy commander, he has no intention of fighting for power, and his only wish is to live in peace and stability on the island.

But just like that, there are still people who push themselves.

Today, Eddard's death shocked him greatly, and Ed's last thought was that he would rather be a slave than a pirate.

From the perspective of Mike and the others, this kind of thought is definitely not Ed alone, after all, most of this group of slaves has begun to doubt their own words, and they are shaken.

So under the ridicule of the pirates, some slaves were slowly assimilated by the pirates.

In fact, sooner or later, Donner knew in his heart that he just hoped that this change of identity would slowly make the slaves get used to being a pirate, and not think about the so-called territory.

But Ed went from hope to despair under tremendous pressure.

Eddard's overreaction made Donner blame himself, if he hadn't fooled them and brought them to the pirate group, maybe he would still be alive and well somewhere else, even as a slave.

Donner's mind still echoes Ed's last cry over and over again.

"You lied to me......" "You lied to me......"

"Ed, I really didn't lie to you......" Donner would look at the churning sea and mutter, "I really come from a territory where you don't go hungry." ”

"Let me tell you, we have at least three meals a day, and it is no problem to eat four or five meals if you want, and only the lazy people skip breakfast, such as me, I only eat two meals a day. ”

"Every family in our area has a meal of big white rice, big white bread, meat and fish, and so on, and they like to dig wild vegetables and eat them. ”

Recalling Ed's smile when he hid the white steamed bun, Donner said to himself: "What they are tired of every day is not that they have nothing to eat, but that they don't know what to eat today, and they complain every day, Ed, do you say they are sick." ”

"I'm telling you, you definitely haven't worn those colorful clothes, all kinds of styles, and they are silky and smooth on your body, the kind that is very comfortable and comfortable, a hundred times more comfortable than the clothes on your body. ”

Donner whispered to the sea, "We all live in very high houses, some of which are as high as mountains, and you have never seen them. ”

"That house is much better than the house on Crescent Island, there is air conditioning in it, you don't know what air conditioning is, haha, that thing is on, it's not hot in summer, it's not cold in winter. ”

"The outside of that very tall house is all glass, and you don't know the glass, I tell you, glass is the same as crystal, transparent, I want to have a piece now, and it will definitely be worth the money of the old nose in this world. ”

"Ed, I don't know if you've ever ridden in a carriage, but I'll tell you, I haven't been in a carriage either!"

"Because we don't have horse-drawn carriages there, everyone goes out by car. This guy doesn't have to run with a horse, it's much faster than a horse-drawn carriage, and there's a train, good guy, this old car is old and can seat thousands of people,"

"And the big steamer, which can walk in the sea without sails at all, do you know how big that guy is? I reckon, a hundred times bigger than the largest ship in the world. ”

The sea was rolling, and on the edge of the empty sea cliff, Donner muttered: "Ed, I will only secretly tell you these words, you must not tell others." ”

"Okay?"

Waves roll under sea cliffs.

"If you don't speak, I'll take you as a promise!"

"There's a lot of fun stuff, I'll tell you about it slowly......"

At dawn, Donner was still nagging, as if he wanted to say all the thoughts he had been holding in his heart since he came to this world, and he didn't even notice that Jasmine had come to the sea cliff.

"You sat here all night last night?" Jasmine asked, looking at Donner's back, confused.

Donner looked at the sea in a daze and didn't answer.

Jasmine stepped forward and took a few steps: "I heard that a slave jumped into the sea and died yesterday, you won't be sad about this." ”

Donner still didn't say anything, Jasmine said to herself: "I've been listening to those slaves, saying that you want to take them to a territory where there are no nobles and slaves, saying that there will be no hunger, no exploitation, fairness and justice, hehe, they are so stupid, how can there be such a territory in this world, I have never heard of it." ”

Donner stood up, passed by Jasmine's side with a blank face, and said lightly, "There will be such a territory." ”
