GBP Chapter 140 The Young Singer
Chapter 140 The Young Singer
Haiyuan calendar year 1499.
The Watcher ended its voyage in the South China Sea and was about to head to the North China Sea, passing through the Sabaody Archipelago.
With Zel here, there's no need to worry even if big trouble happens in the Sabaody Archipelago.
But Rorschach and the others also knew that Zell would not intervene in the trouble they caused, so they did not intend to make it too public.
Of course, there is no need to hide anything, as the Sabaody Archipelago itself is a lawless area.
Even though there is a naval branch stationed here, they are only responsible for protecting the Celestial Dragons, not civilians.
In other words, the World Government also has some credit for the proliferation of pirates and slave traders in the Sabaody Archipelago.
After all, the largest slave auction house is run by the World Government. As an agency directly under the World Government, the Navy can only turn a blind eye.
The most ironic thing is that human trafficking is prohibited by the World Government. Of course, they only refer to it as "job referral agencies."
The mangrove areas 30 to 39 of the Chagos Archipelago are the Soap Bubble Park, which is very attractive for first-time visitors.
Xiaoguang has been living in the mine tunnel and has always yearned for the outside world. Over the years, he has also sailed to many places with the Watcher.
Like her is Olga, who has been trapped in the stomach of a lantern fish for nearly two hundred years. The colorful world always makes her curious.
Together with them are the lively and cheerful Nako, the silent middle-aged uncle Henry, and Nyx who protects their safety.
In the mangrove area No. 30, Nako looked at the soap bubbles floating everywhere and poked them out of curiosity.
Unlike what you might imagine, soap bubbles will burst with a poke. They are quite resilient and will pop open after making an arc shape.
The soap bubbles in the Chagos Archipelago are formed by the natural resin secreted by the Alkiman mangroves when they breathe and are squeezed by air.
In the Chabaoti Archipelago, there are many uses for these soap bubbles, such as bubble cars, bubble Ferris wheels, houses built on bubbles, etc.
In one day, they experienced a wave of bubble culture and had a lot of fun.
The lawless areas in the Chagos Archipelago are mainly concentrated in mangrove areas 1 to 29. Although there are criminals in other places, they dare not commit crimes openly.
Nyx and the others had been staying in Bubble Park all the time and had never been separated, so the slave traders couldn't get them.
Although no slave traders attacked them, it did not mean that they had never encountered slave traders.
Nyx's perception has become stronger recently, and she can clearly sense those who have bad intentions.
If she didn't want to cause trouble, she would probably have taken action directly.
Or maybe she really wants those people to attack her now, so that she can "defend herself" in a "self-defense" way. As for whether it is "excessive defense", does it matter?
At worst, they can just run faster. Anyway, they have Carmen and Hela, two escape experts, to help them.
She has a mirror in her backpack, which allows her to contact Hela, who is also in the Sabaody Archipelago, at any time.
As the sun sets, the bustling Soap Bubble Park falls silent.
Nako and her friends licked an ice cream each and strolled on a fairy-tale-like road.
Just as they were about to go back to Mangrove Area No. 13 to find Zel, a pleasant singing voice rang in their ears.
"Yo ho ho ho, yo ho ho ho."
"Bring Binx's wine to you!"
"Just like the sea breeze, ride the waves wherever they please!"
"........."
The singer was a young man with brown-green hair and a very infectious voice.
It was none other than the future Golden Emperor Tezulo, a villain with great charisma.
He played an old guitar and sang in front of a closed store.
In front of him was a small bowl with a few coins scattered in it.
The most he could earn was 500 Baileys worth of coins, so his income was very dismal.
After listening to the song, Nako and the others thought it was really nice. For this reason, Nako even put a 10,000 Bailey note into the small bowl.
"Thank you for your tip, lovely girl."
When Tesoro saw Bailey with such a large face value, he was surprised for a moment and bowed to Nako.
"It's okay, I think you sing beautifully!"
Nako smiled, she really thought Tezoro's singing was beautiful.
"If you could, could you play another song for us?"
"Of course, I just don't know what song you want to hear, little girl?"
Tezoro naturally would not refuse Nakode's request. These ten thousand berries were enough for his salary for several days.
"Hmm... can you sing 'Fantasy Paradise'?"
For some reason, Nako suddenly remembered Charles' story. Although she had no personal experience, she was very interested in music and had always liked the song "Fantasy Paradise".
"I'm sorry, I haven't heard of this song."
Tezulo scratched his head, feeling sorry.
"Naka, this seems to be a song written by Jennifer."
Nyx reminded Nako that this was Jennifer's original song and it had never been spread widely.
"Then let me sing it. I hope you can sing this song to more people in the future!"
Nako suddenly had a good idea and put five million Baileys into the bowl.
"That's too much, little girl!"
Tezoro was a little flattered to see Nako being so generous.
"It's okay, just consider it as the publicity fee for asking you to promote this song."
Tezoro wanted to return the money to Nako, but was surprised to find that he was not as strong as a seven-year-old girl.
"Okay then, I promise you!"
Tezulo withdrew his hand awkwardly, falling into deep self-doubt.
"Let me use the guitar for a moment."
Nako took the guitar from Tezoro, tried it a few times, and started singing.
“A place full of possibilities and fantasies.”
“A place where imagination takes flight.
“This is a space where reality and dreams intertwine.”
"Everything is possible here. This is Fantasyland!"
The song was cheerful and the melody was very rhythmic, but Tesoro felt a hint of sadness in it.
"This is a very happy song, but why do I feel sad?"
As Tesoro listened, tears welled up in his eyes. He had an intuition that he could empathize with the other person.
"Really? Perhaps those who know the origin of this song can't really sing it happily."
“Can I hear the story behind this song?”
Tezulo suddenly asked Nako.
"Of course!"
Nako smiled and did not refuse. In her young mind, the story of Charles and Jennifer should be known to everyone.
After all, becoming a world-famous musician is also Jennifer's dream.
After about ten minutes, Nako finished her story about Charles, and Tezulo fell into sadness.
Perhaps thinking of his story with Stella, Tesoro slowly began to play the guitar.
The story continues, but the protagonist has changed.
