Chapter 876 Postscript [Aqing]
Even when she was fourteen years old, Zelda would think, seeing such a task, that the navy that issued the task... might think that her current situation was too comfortable, so they wanted to increase the difficulty of survival?
Today is a good day. I will go to the Ranger Association to post a mission. Let the Nine Snakes Queen's own daughter harm the Nine Snakes Queen. Our navy will perish like this!
is that so?
Zelda observed Sister Finch's reaction. The latter raised her hand and fiddled with the interface of her "tablet" and said expressionlessly as if talking to herself: "Objectively speaking, if the Navy must issue such a mission, among all the three flower rangers in the world, I am indeed the only one who has a slight chance of completing it... Let me see, how much is 100 milliliters of my mother's blood worth?"
Mission reward: 100 million Baileys.
Finch threw down the "tablet" and sneered, "A bunch of poor fellows, are you sending away beggars?"
Zelda felt that Sister Finch seemed to have a natural hostility and disgust towards the navy, but she didn't know why. Was it because Nine Snake Island was a pirate country more than 20 years ago? But Sister Finch wasn't even born at that time. That was a thing of the past era. There was no need to bring in the camp stance of that time, right?
Finch narrowed her eyes, looking at the vast white sea outside the speeding train, and tapped the "tablet" unconsciously. Zelda seriously suspected that Sister Finch was already thinking about how to destroy the navy...
"Ah, the mission has been canceled." Zelda was surprised and confused when she found the dynamics on her "phone". "Is it a mistake made by the navy? No way, even if an officially issued mission is canceled, at least half of the established bounty will be deducted..."
Finch said: "Whether it's a mistake or a regret, it's certain that they want my mother's blood."
"Why?" Zelda asked in confusion.
Finch looked towards her. In a moment of trance, Zelda seemed to see a pair of dark golden vertical pupils, which were infinitely enlarged in her consciousness...
Eyes of Medusa?!
Zelda's observation Haki indicated danger. She was startled and was about to avoid the sight, but Finch had already put away his distorted snake pupils and turned back to his ordinary appearance - well, ordinary beautiful eyes. "Because of this." Finch said casually, "A few decades ago, a large number of people in the navy were petrified by my mother. It seems that the navy still keeps those useless stones."
"And now they want a little blood of the Queen to untie Medusa's petrification..." Zelda understood.
"Does this sound like begging?" Finch nodded, "Yes, begging for death."
At this moment, the tablet in front of Finch lit up and a call sounded. Zelda had no intention of peeking, but subconsciously looked in the direction of the lit tablet and caught a glimpse of the name of the caller, which was "Ah Qing".
Finch swiped the phone and answered it.
"Are you coming back?" A clear female voice came from the other side.
"Yes." Finch said, "I took an empty train from the South Sea and am on my way to the West Sea. You are ready to pick me up."
"Hey! Miss Lin, are you so arrogant?" The voice of the woman named Aqing was full of youthful energy. Although she couldn't see it, Zelda could almost imagine her lively and cheerful expression on the other end of the line. "You want me to pick you up personally?"
"Haha..." Finch finally smiled, "Ah Qing, I haven't seen you for two or three years. You've become much more naughty. Very good, this is very good!"
"I'm sorry, Sister Finch, I was wrong." The other side asked in a sweet voice, "How long will it take you to reach the West Sea?"
"How should I know?" Finch rolled his eyes. "I've never taken an empty train from the South China Sea to the West China Sea."
"Don't you know how long it will take for me to pick you up?!" Aqing screamed, and suddenly thought of something and chuckled, "You came back from the Tianshan Mountains in Raftelu, right? Did you fly in the wrong direction in the sky and flew to the South China Sea? Hahaha, no wonder your brother said, 'My sister's stand-in is so weird, she must..." Aqing paused, imitating the funny tone of "Finch's brother", and Zelda imagined her tapping her forehead, "'There is some hidden danger here, really!' Phew, hahaha... wait, he didn't let me tell you about this." Aqing muttered to herself.
As expected, Finch's face darkened. Even with the navy incident just now, she was just unhappy at most, but this time, Zelda felt that this sister Finch was about to go berserk on the spot.
"That brat actually dared to say that my stand-in was evil?" Finch gritted his teeth.
"That's right!" Ah Qing chimed in, "How dare his trouble-making stand-in talk about our sister Finch?"
Finch clenched his fists and smiled brightly, and the whole car seemed to be brighter. "It sounds like my lovely brother misses me a lot!"
Ah Qing on the other end of the line couldn't see this gorgeous smile, she just reminded him: "Go ahead and beat him up, don't tell him I told him about you!"
"Of course." Finch said cheerfully, "I'll beat you two together. I won't show partiality to anyone."
"How could this happen!" Ah Qing cried out in injustice.
"Hehehe..." Finch smiled but said nothing.
As friends since childhood, they were very relaxed when chatting. Zelda looked at them talking to each other, and had not yet recovered from the first sentence "Raftel's Tianshan".
Tianshan? Raftel? There really is a sixth Tianshan!
For so many years, countless people, including many rangers, have been looking for the sixth Tianshan Mountain, the last pillar of the world besides the Pillar of Strengthening in the East Sea, the Pillar of Materialization in the South Sea, the Pillar of Change in the West Sea, the Pillar of Operation in the North Sea, and the Pillar of Release in Paradise... It turned out that it was set up on the final island of Raftel by Lynch, the father of Finch's sister, and the Eight-Armed Great Sage? Zelda suspected that her parents knew about this sixth pillar of the world, but they never told her, and she was too young before and didn't ask, so today was the first time she heard about it.
In addition, what Sister Finch said to Aqing, "his substitute", "your substitute"... are also very concerning.
According to rumors, the Stand ability is a special power possessed by the Eight-Armed Great Saint Lin Qi. It is rumored that the Eight-Armed Great Saint can also give this power to anyone. It is also rumored that the unknown sixth pillar of the world, called the "Pillar of Speciality", is the only place where this Stand ability can be awakened...
"...Yes, Zelda." Finch's voice brought Zelda back to her senses. "She's Ace's daughter. She's only fourteen years old, and she's already on her way to becoming a Double Flower Ranger. Not bad, right? She's much better than you."
"Which Ace?" The woman on the other end of the call said dissatisfiedly, "Don't underestimate me! I'm also very powerful, okay? This princess is just too lazy to be a ranger! Humph..."
"Flamebeard Ace. The Pirate King's brother." Finch said.
"Oh..." I don't know if I remembered it.
"Let's not talk about the beard for now. You're almost at the West Sea, right?" Ah Qing said with a smile, "That's perfect. A bunch of guys are here today too, and they're just hanging around here..."
"In the Kingdom of Flowers?" Finch tapped his fingers on the table and paused. "Navy?"
"Yes, that's them. The Admiral of the Navy is leading the team personally." The Princess of the Kingdom of Flowers laughed on the other end of the call. "The Admiral has been looking very bad. I heard that he got angry at his subordinates. It seems that someone has issued some tasks in the Ranger Association without authorization..."
"If you keep beating around the bush, you'll get yourself in trouble," Finch issued a stern warning.
"I'm sorry! My mother asked me to help plead for mercy!" Ah Qing decisively passed the blame on to him, "You already hate those marines, and they're super fierce. My mother was just worried that the marines would offend you this time, and it would end badly... You don't know, when the marine marshal found out that one of his men had this bad idea, his face turned green..."
Finch narrowed his eyes, "Ah Qing, am I fierce?"
"Sister, you are so gentle~~" Ah Qing said crisply, "Anyway, I have brought my message to you. Take a look at that Ranger software they mentioned. There should be a sequel. I am almost at Tianshan in the West Sea. Come quickly. Don't let this princess wait for you too long!"
"Just wait patiently." Finch rolled his eyes.
After hanging up the phone, she turned the tablet to the ranger interface and saw the latest mission issued by the navy, specifically asking her to accept it.
"Mission requirements: Escort to Nine Snakes"
"Mission reward: 439 million berries, the rest will be discussed later."
“And there are even integers.” Finch snorted.
The navy is already in the Kingdom of Flowers, and they can quickly reach Nine Snakes by riding the high-speed ocean currents that are used exclusively between the three kingdoms. This mission is simply a free reward!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It can be seen from this that the brief disturbance caused by the previous blunder actually scared the navy itself...
Zelda was thoughtful, which was enough to prove how miserable the navy that Mom and Dad occasionally mentioned was in today's era...
More than 400 million baileys, even if it doesn't drain the navy's resources, it will probably be a huge loss.
Finch quickly threw the "tablet" aside, called the waiter to change another table of food, and continued to talk with Zelda...
The time passed without them noticing the speed of the conversation. Zelda was listening to Sister Finch's wonderful ranger experience with great interest. The speed of the sky train gradually slowed down and finally stopped. They had arrived at the station.
"Let's go." Finch stood up and got out of the train. Outside was a vast sea of white clouds that seemed to have not changed at all.
Zelda followed him out. Finch was waving his hand to send away some staff from the Ranger Association. Looking not far away, there was a city that was very different from the empty city in the South China Sea.
The two waited there for a while, and Finch suddenly turned his head and saw a figure walking on the clouds.
The speed was very fast, at least faster than when she was riding on Fire Cloud Roger... Zelda was secretly surprised. She had already seen the appearance of the person who was coming. It was actually a young woman with horns on her head!
Not only did she have horns, but she also had some black scales on the edges of her cheeks, hands, and feet. Clouds of flame-like mist floated around her like ribbons...
"Sister Finch, I miss you so much~" the other person shouted tenderly and threw herself into Finch's arms.
Is she that Aqing? The princess of the Kingdom of Flowers? Zelda observed quietly. The other person's half-human, half-dragon appearance reminded her of her grandfather who had passed away long ago and whom her mother rarely mentioned.
"Put away your claws, horns, and scales." Finch pushed away Qing, who was rubbing against him, with a look of disgust. "Are you a pig? You push against everyone you see?"
"No way!" Ah Qing shook her head. The dragon horns on her head and the black dragon scales on her body quickly faded away. She hugged Finch, tilted her head, and looked at Zelda, "Are you the princess Link wants to save?"
"Ah?" Zelda was stunned for a moment, then asked blankly, "What?"
Who is Link? I am a princess? Who will save me?
"Ignore her," Finch said. "Link is my brother. Nicole Link."
"Oh..." Zelda nodded. Nicole Link? In other words, he is the child of the Son of History and Lynch?
"Let's go, aren't you going to Jiushe to take the Double Flower Exam?" Finch said, turning to ask Aqing, "Where will the exam be held this year? Jiushe, Dragon Palace, or the Kingdom of Flowers?"
Ah Qing smiled and said, "Not in the branch campus. In the main campus of the college..."
Anyway, let's go to the Kingdom of Flowers first and deal with those navy. Finch jumped off the sky island first and flew down with the air dance technique.
"Do you want to help?" Aqing shook his body and turned into a black dragon hovering in the clouds, staring at Zelda with his head tilted.
Zelda quickly took out the Fire Cloud Roger from the Weather Stick.
“Homizi…” The black dragon nodded, and flew down with a roar, “Wait for me!”
Zelda rode on the flaming cloud and followed behind.
One transformed into a dragon, one flew in the air, and one rode on a fire cloud. The three of them quickly passed through the clouds and arrived above the Qinghai Sea.
The Tianshan Mountain in the West Sea is also surrounded by "spiritual worshippers" from the West Sea and even all over the world. Not far away is the island called O'Hara. Twenty years later, O'Hara has become a world-famous cultural heritage. There are endless tourists coming here all year round to visit this holy land of history and civilization destroyed by the world government and navy.
The entire island was reduced to a scorched earth ruin. The Tree of All-Knowing in the center of the island, which was once the world's largest library, was burned and knocked down that year and is now withered.
All destruction and rebirth remain on this island, which is also part of history.
Dozens of historical text stone tablets neatly surround the destroyed tree of all-knowing, isolated by protective belts, for tourists to admire, admire and take photos. There is a translated sign in front of each historical text stone tablet, of course, all written by the son of history. If tourists need it, the staff of the O'Hara History Museum will also provide a learning manual of ancient characters from entry to mastery compiled by Nicole Robin...
The three of them flew past O'Hara, chasing each other, flying all the way, and soon crossed the vast Qinghai Sea and arrived at the Kingdom of Flowers.
