Chapter 133: Prelude (2)
Chapter 133: Prelude (2)
"Of course, becoming a priest has been my childhood dream. By the way, Arcelia, how did you end up fighting with a monster on the sea hundreds of kilometers away from the continent?" After smiling, Ulysses asked curiously.
"Uh! This..." Arcelia paused, and said hesitantly, "I went out to sea because I was looking for something on a desert island overseas. A few days ago, I found what I wanted. But when I returned to the continent, I was attacked by that strange magic beast, and I was the only one who escaped."
After speaking, she lowered her head and did not let Ulysses see her current expression.
"Oh, so that's really unfortunate. But it doesn't matter, since you are now on the Ulysses, we can return to the continent together." Ulysses stretched out his hand to Arcelia.
"Mhm! Thank you, let us get along well in the days to come! Ulysses." Arcelia also stretched out her hand and said with a smile, but in her heart, she added,
'The master I will be loyal to!'
"Ah! I almost forgot about the real business. I'm here to ask you how to raise this pink rabbit. Arcelia, what should I feed this pink rabbit? Also, how should I take care of it?" Ulysses suddenly remembered that he didn't come to Arcelia just to chat with her, and quickly asked what he wanted to ask.
Arcelia did not immediately answer Ulysses' question, but gently hugged the pink rabbit in her arms, stroking its soft smooth fur over and over again, and there was infinite tenderness in her green eyes.
It took a long time before she cast her gaze on Ulysses's face, who was feeling inexplicable. She sighed and said, "Ulysses, you seem to have forgotten something very, very important."
"What is it?" Ulysses asked puzzledly.
"If you want to raise this child sincerely, you should at least give it a name." Arcelia looked at him slightly dissatisfied.
"Ah! That's right! Helen doesn't seem to have a name for it either! So Arcelia, do you have any suggestions?" After Arcelia said that, Ulysses realized that neither he nor Helen actually gave this pink rabbit a name.
At this moment, the pink rabbit in Arcelia's arms seemed to feel something. It jumped out of her arms, and started running around the two of them, as if expecting them to name it.
"What a cute rabbit! What should I call you?" Ulysses was lost in thought.
"Lucia, this kid's name is Lucia! Mhm, Lulu is also fine." Arcelia closed her eyes and said the rabbit-eared girl's name, which she once heard from the unknown necromancer.
"Lucia, Lulu. Mhm, they are all cute names! It's decided, your name is Lulu!" Ulysses picked up the little rabbit that was jumping around under his feet and hugged it in his arms. The pink rabbit in his arms seemed to like the name very much, it moved excitedly in his arms.
Poor child, did you not remember anything after hearing your own name? How deep did you seal your memory into your body? Maybe you are no longer willing to take a look at the world with your real body, but no matter what choice you have, mom will always guard you. Even if you never return to a human body, mom will stay with you by your side.' Seeing Lulu moving happily in Ulysses's arms, Arcelia's face showed a trace of sadness.
But Ulysses didn't notice the sadness on Arcelia's face, he was still trying to hold the excited Lulu in his arms. It took four or five minutes for him to calm the excited Lulu in his arms. Feeling a little embarrassed, he said to Arcelia, who had been watching them,
"I'm sorry. Lulu seems very happy."
"It's fine. This shows that this child likes to be with you very much, I believe you will get along well in the future. Next, let me tell you something about how to raise this child." At this time Arcelia had returned to normal, but her tone still had a trace of sadness that was hard to detect.
"First of all, you can not feed it greasy food. Then this child just needs to eat light fruit that's not very hard, and then ......"
......
"Johnny! Ackles! I found a big prey. If you see it, you will definitely be surprised." In the port of the small island tens of kilometers away from the Ulysses, the previous little black figure got into the cabin of the big ship with steel plates nailed to the hull and immediately shouted excitedly.
This was a girl wearing a strange black uniform. The upper body of this uniform was a sleeveless black jacket. Her neck and wrists were wrapped by a strange white ornament with holes. Her waist was covered by a black belt. The buckle of the belt was a hexagonal golden object. Starting from the waist, the lower edge of the jacket was cut into front and back parts. The back part was larger than the front part, covering her back waist and sides. The front part was embroidered with two lovely golden rings dangling around as she walked.
Her lower body was a pair of pure black trousers, and a pair of pure black shoes were worn on her feet. In addition, she wore a big black hat on her head. The front of the hat was embroidered with a skull pattern that was the same as the skull pattern on the flag of the ship.
The girl looked very young. She had beautiful blonde hair and black eyes that would reveal sly smiles from time to time. Her face was immature and delicate, although it was not the type that would make people's eyes light up, the more people looked at her, the more they would feel that this was an energetic girl. It was as if her whole body was full of energy.
But the most surprising thing was probably the thing she carried on her back. That was a weapon unlike any other weapon on the continent. In fact, that thing should not be classified as a weapon at all. Because it was just an iron anchor that could only be used when a ship was moored. The length of this black iron anchor was about 1.5 to 1.6 meters, which was much taller than the height of the girl, and judging from the cold light it emitted, it was definitely not a wooden toy. It was a genuine iron anchor weighing hundreds of kilograms. However, the girl could run fast while carrying it, as if this heavy iron anchor had no weight at all.
"Mina! Where did you go again this time! Didn't I tell you not to run around on your dolphin casually!" The one who said this was a middle-aged man wearing a uniform similar to that of the girl, named Mina.
However, unlike the sleeveless jacket of the girl, the middle-aged man's top was an open black trench coat, revealing his extremely developed two chest muscles and six-pack abs. There were a few golden rings on the sleeves and shoulders of the trench coat. The hat on his head was similar to that of the girl. It was embroidered with a skull pattern, and it covered most of his face. The man also wore a pair of black glasses, which made it impossible to know what he actually looked like.
"Johnny is so mean! How can you let a cute girl stay with these brainless guys who only know about gambling and drinking? Don't you think it's too cruel?" The girl named Mina made a grimacing face to the middle-aged man and then stuck out her little tongue.
"Ah la la! Our dear little princess Mina, you can't upset a group of people at once! Although Boss and I don't drink much, we still need to have some fun, don't we? Otherwise, what kind of pirates are we!" A young man in black said lazily. He was sitting opposite the middle-aged man called Johnny. On the table between the two of them, a deck of playing cards was scattered. It seemed that they were playing just now.
The young man's uniform was similar to Mina's, but his top was a black jacket embroidered with a few white threads. The white threads were embroidered on his arms and chest, and there were two sparkling silver square ornaments on his chest.
The face of the young man was actually quite ordinary. He had shoulder-length black hair, a pair of black eyes with a playful look, and a pale complexion as if he didn't get enough sunlight. People like him could be easily found amongst the lower aristocracy, and they were all good-for-nothing playboys.
"Huh! No matter what! Mina hates boys who like gambling and drinking! So, Ackles, go away! Johnny, what I said is true! Just now I found a beautiful ship when I went outside to play. A luxurious ship! Just a few tens of kilometers away from us! It's a big ship shining with pale blue metallic light. It's the first time Mina has seen such a beautiful ship! Let's set off now and take that ship!" Mina glared at the young man named Ackles, and then said excitedly.
