Chapter 17: Survival Chapter 17: The Secret of the Celestial Dragons ②: The Legend of D...
Survival Day 17:
Although Wendy had never offended him and was kind to him, Law, who was bent on revenge against the world, could not accept kindness now and felt a little awkward.
Since Doflamingo said he would train him, naturally the others would follow. He followed the rest of the family to learn various things, shooting, swordsmanship, physical skills, strategy... Although the others were a little strict, they were all quite normal.
He also noticed Wendy's uniqueness after joining this family... and the backpack she gave him was really magical.
You won't feel the weight no matter how many things you put in. Although the limit is eight items, you can fit 20 or even 40 of the same item!
But... even so, facing Wendy's question, Luo was still full of questions. After coming to his senses, he firmly denied it.
Then he saw Wendy showing a regretful expression and walking away without interest.
Luo: “…”
Although he didn't think Wendy was a bad person, on the contrary, he felt a little uncomfortable interacting with her because he felt she was a nice person, but this woman was really too weird.
As for Corazon... he thought he was weird, but since he didn't report him for stabbing him, he temporarily put aside his prejudice against him.
Wendy had no idea that Law thought she was a weirdo...or rather, she was considered a weirdo by almost everyone in the Don Quixote family. And there was even Corazon, whose behavior seemed really strange.
But even if she knew, she probably wouldn't mind.
It's not surprising that NPCs treat players as weirdos! Summer insects can't talk about ice, and she also thinks the modeling of these NPCs is too sloppy!
Even the fact that Luo didn't like farming made her a little sad... It seemed that she still had to continue looking for a friend who could play farming with her.
After she came back from talking to Law alone, her mood was visibly down. Doflamingo couldn't help but look at her several times and asked, "What's wrong? Did Law make you angry?"
"No." Wendy said listlessly, "Luo said he doesn't like farming."
Doflamingo: “…”
He really couldn't understand Wendy's obsession with farming... and believed that this was most likely the reason why Wendy was expelled from her family.
However, no matter how much he dotes on the other party, it is impossible to reach a reconciliation on this point.
It’s not that he looked down on farmers, but when he asked Wendy how to farm, Wendy enthusiastically said that she wanted to raise a few cows and then collect cow dung to irrigate the crops.
His subordinates and family members can go farming, but they are absolutely not allowed to play with shit.
This is his bottom line.
If Wendy knew what he was thinking, she would definitely refute him - she doesn't play with shit either!
However, in Don't Starve, when farming, the only irrigation materials used were animal feces and decaying waste. With the system, she could pick up feces and irrigate the fields as if she were telekinetically, without the mess.
You can even place food and poop in adjacent slots in your backpack!
As we all know, every grid on the player's toolbar seems to be in another dimension, there is no problem at all!
After Wendy finished speaking, she looked up at Doflamingo tentatively.
Doflamingo looked at her quietly through his sunglasses, and after a while he looked away as if he hadn't heard anything.
Wendy: “…”
They are indeed brothers. One pretends to be deaf, the other pretends to be dumb.
This was just a minor incident. With Luo's arrival, the Don Quixote family's behavior hadn't changed much. However, their whereabouts had been frequently discovered by the navy recently, and their emergency escapes had increased.
Diamanti was still complaining about this: "What's going on? It seems like Vice Admiral Tsuru's appearances are becoming more and more frequent. Is she just keeping a close eye on us?..."
Vice Admiral Tsuru is the Vice Admiral who has been chasing them recently, including this time.
When Wendy heard this, she looked a little surprised and glanced at Corazon inconspicuously - because Corazon was a navy, did she tip off the enemy?
But she still didn't like this feeling of fleeing in a hurry... She would go back and tell Corazon to restrain himself.
Besides, she hasn't heard from Long for a long time, and wondered if she could ask Corazon and Uncle Garp to pass on the message.
It’s not that I miss my first friend, but the main thing is that I am really concerned about how much of the map my friend has opened.
—After all these years, if she said she wanted to see the world, she must have explored quite a bit, right? If she shared the map, she might be able to find special terrain like the Moon Island, get some new materials, and unlock new tech trees!
With this question in mind, Wendy went looking for someone. The weather had been quite hot recently, and to keep her body temperature normal, she had put away her usual walking cane and replaced it with a flower umbrella.
She was still a little uncomfortable with the idea. Without the acceleration of a walking cane, she felt like her walking had become slower.
Corazon was not there, but someone saw her. According to baby5 and Buffalo, he suddenly appeared and ran away with Luo.
"Luo is probably going to be beaten again." Baby5 sighed helplessly.
"Mr. Corazon's face looks even uglier than usual. Luo will definitely be beaten worse than usual!" Buffalo gloated, but at the same time seemed to empathize with the other person, his face turning a little pale.
"Hey... then I'll go take a look."
When Wendy ran over, she saw Corazon pulling Law and talking to him. However, just like when he had spoken to her alone before, Corazon had muted the surroundings, so no sound could escape.
Wendy moved closer curiously.
However, the two seemed to have finished talking, and Luo ran out directly. When he saw her, he was stunned for a moment, then ran away without saying a word.
Wendy walked into the alley curiously and saw Corazon lying upside down in a trash can.
Wendy looked confused and asked, "Corazon, are you looking through the trash? What's in there?"
Could there be something good inside? She had also tried to open the trash can, but the trash can here was really just garbage... Could it be that she was opening it the wrong way?
Corazon crawled out of the trash can, glanced at Wendy, and sighed.
Wendy's ideas are really weird... He thinks he is weird enough.
"There's nothing in the trash can...Wendy, why are you here?"
"I came to talk to you about something. What happened between you and Luo?" Wendy said curiously. "I heard from Baby5 that you dragged Luo away. They were talking about Luo's full name... Is there anything unusual about Luo's name?"
Corazon was startled, his expression becoming more serious.
Sometimes he really didn't know whether Wendy was dull or sharp... She always seemed to be exceptionally sharp in some key areas.
"Let's talk about this later." Corazon didn't intend to tell Wendy this secret. It wasn't that he didn't trust her, but he felt that letting her know would not benefit her. He changed the subject and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Ah, I wanted to tell you not to send messages to the navy so often." Wendy said in a normal tone.
At the same time, Corazon felt like he was in an ice cellar.
"How...did you know that?"
"Because of the map," Wendy answered truthfully, but she didn't intend to explain it to the other party in a way that he could understand. "By the way, if you have any contact there, could you write a letter for me and pass it on to Uncle Garp?"
Corazon finally came to his senses. Looking at Wendy, who looked innocent and didn't seem to understand what she said, he sighed deeply and said solemnly, "I understand... But you can't mention any connection between you and the Navy to Dover anymore."
Wendy nodded.
She knew this, because they were on different sides, so she wouldn't say that. She hadn't even told Dover about her and the dragon.
Seeing that Wendy had understood, Corazon breathed a sigh of relief. Then he heard her continue to ask, "But what's going on with Luo? It seems he just ran to the base."
Although it seemed that his confession to Luo had just failed, as the other party seemed to be going to inform Dover, causing him to fail...but at this time, looking at Wendy, Corazon decided to trust her again.
"Wendy, do you... know D's secret?"
Wendy: “?”
Corazon repeated to Wendy what he had said to Law before.
Luo's full name is Trafalgar D. Wattier Luo, and he is a member of the D clan.
The so-called D clan is said to be the "natural enemy of God"... that is, the natural enemy of the Celestial Dragons.
Although it is just a rumor, it is a legend that has always existed in the hometown of the Celestial Dragons. When they were young, their parents would tell them bedtime stories like "disobedient children will be eaten by D" to scare them. According to the rumor, the D clan is born with a destiny that will bring about a storm in this world. [1]
Corazon interpreted this as the D clan intending to overthrow the world ruled by the Celestial Dragons.
As a Celestial Dragon, Doflamingo was naturally well aware of this rumor. No matter how much he believed it, as long as he knew Law's full name, he would be in danger.
But even though he told Luo, Luo obviously didn't believe it and seemed like he was going to tell someone... Now he told Wendy, hoping that at least Wendy would know that this was a minefield and not ask Dover without thinking.
"Wendy, although Dover does value you, his nature is extremely evil... Don't trust him too much, and don't touch his bottom line." Corazon solemnly gave his final instructions.
Wendy looked at the "Secret of the Celestial Dragons ②: The Legacy of D" recorded in the system and nodded thoughtfully.
This seems to be the main plot... According to the setting, D is the protagonist and the Celestial Dragons are the villains, right? So, wouldn't it be better for her to stick with D?
...Huh? Wait? Uncle Garp and Ryuya are both D? —Wendy's long-lost memories began to resurface, and she looked bewildered.
So that's how it is... Were the factions already divided so early on?! No wonder Long became her first companion, was it because he had the potential to be the protagonist?
Wendy looked at Corazon's heavy expression and asked, "Are you going to tell them, Luo? Then do you want to retreat first? I can help you hold them off for a while."
Corazon looked at her with a warm gaze and gave her a gentle smile: "No, Wendy, you can't be dragged into this."
Can't participate in the main quest?... Wendy thought to herself, without refutation, she just said "Then you have to be careful" and left.
When she was walking back, she met baby5 and the others. The navy had come looking for them again, and everyone was about to retreat, so they were all looking for her.
Wendy naturally took out her walking stick again and kept up with everyone. Behind her, Baby5 was diligently holding an umbrella for her - it was not that Baby5 was always such a servile person, but she really liked the feeling of being needed, and basically she would agree to all requests.
After finally boarding the ship, Wendy stood on the deck, holding a beautiful umbrella and watching everyone. She even made sure her wooden armor was properly on, to avoid being hit by stray bullets and falling to her knees.
"You're here, Wendy." Doflamingo frowned and counted the members. "Where's Corazon?"
"I remember Miss Wendy was looking for him before!"
"When I looked for him before, he was with Luo." Wendy replied obediently, turning her head to look around, "It seems Luo is not here either..."
Just then, one of the subordinates came over to report: "Master! Corazon left a letter saying that he is taking Luo with him to find a cure!"
