Chapter 92 Where is my cat?
Chapter 92 Where is my cat?
"Master Yupa!!"
"Nausicaä, step back!! Your Excellency, she's not a bad person..."
Yuba immediately stepped in front of Nausicaä, and the detector on the Guardian's nose also looked at Yuba. He recognized him and then lifted the heavily injured Rasdale with both hands, slowly turning around without any intention of negotiating with Yuba.
"Master Yupa, you can't..."
Before Nausicaä could speak, Yubala stopped her and whispered:
"These are Laputa's guardian robots. Don't let them cause any unnecessary trouble for the Valley of the Wind!!"
Nausicaä was relieved to hear that Yuba knew the behemoth before her! Meanwhile, the others from the Valley of the Wind quickly arrived, instinctively raising their guns to aim at the colossal creature. Fortunately, Yuba reacted swiftly.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot..."
Just then, a commotion arose from the nearby ruins, and a huge bull emerged from them, causing the people of Wind Valley to hold their breath in their throats.
At this moment, the Minotaur was also severely injured, its wings flapping incessantly as if calling for its companions! The Guardian Robot, holding Rasdale, flashed a red light in its eyes, as if establishing a connection with the Minotaur, and the raging Minotaur immediately quieted down!
At this moment, the bull-man also seemed to be looking at the guardian with curiosity. The engine on the back of the guardian roared and shot out a beam of light. The guardian instantly took to the air, and the bull-man on the ground quickly followed.
Everything happened so inexplicably, like a dream, but everyone knows that things seem to have been resolved.
"Master Yupa..."
"Don't ask anything, let's go back first and talk about it!"
After all this, the sky was already tinged with white light, the long-lasting darkness had finally departed, and the belated light was about to arrive. The howling wind had also become gentle at this moment.
Soon it was dawn, but at that moment two groups of uninvited guests arrived at the Valley of the Wind.
"Damn it, you guys are so kind-hearted, aren't you! You just keep bringing people home! What kind of person did you bring last time? I kindly saved him, and this bastard stole my cat! Is he even human?"
Liu Yufei cursed and hung up the Guardian's communication, looking at the lingering smoke of battle before him.
"What a tragedy! What a messed up world!!"
After losing the cat, Liu Yufei immediately sent out all the robots to search for it, and he also conducted a large-scale search in the air, but soon remembered that the plot was about to begin.
After playing for three years, Liu Yufei had become completely absorbed in the game. It wasn't until he received a message a few days ago that he realized the plot was about to begin. He immediately remembered Yuba, whom he had rescued before, and then he thought of the fox-squirrel that Yuba had given to the female protagonist Nausicaä. Wasn't that the solution? It must be his own cat!
Thinking of this, Liu Yufei finally found the Valley of the Wind, and ended up near the ruins. Looking at the devastation before him, Liu Yufei felt a pang of emotion, but that was all. After all, he had already experienced two worlds and had seen far too many tragedies like this.
Just as Liu Yufei was about to leave, a man's voice came over.
"Stop, who are you?"
Liu Yufei turned around and saw a knight in armor, holding a longsword, walking towards him. Liu Yufei immediately said innocently:
"Sir, I was just passing by!!"
"Your Highness, a suspicious person has been spotted!!"
At the soldiers' call, a large contingent of guards immediately surrounded them, which startled Liu Yufei, whose hands trembled as he said:
"Sir, I was really just passing by, I'm a law-abiding citizen!!"
After saying that, Liu Yufei squatted down with his hands on his head, his eyes darting around and his body trembling. He looked extremely scared. As the soldiers called out, a woman wearing golden armor walked over.
"What happened!!"
"Your Highness, we've noticed this person acting suspiciously!"
Kushana looked at Liu Yufei, who was trembling on the ground, but did not lower her guard. Instead, she gave a look to the sergeant next to her.
The sergeant immediately grabbed Liu Yufei and pulled him up. The two men next to him then discovered a token on Liu Yufei's person.
"Your Highness, there's nothing else, only this token!!"
"Hmm! The Imperial City Merchant Guild's token! You're a merchant!!"
"Ah! Your Highness, I'm innocent! I was just passing through as a merchant when my goods were robbed, so I headed towards where there were people!"
Indeed, it's hard to believe that someone who claims to be a businessman is all alone. However, Kushana didn't immediately believe Liu Yufei's story. Instead, she looked at Liu Yufei with a strange expression, but couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong with him.
"Get up! Tell me, how did you get here?!"
"Your Highness, I heard the explosion here last night, which is why I came here!"
Although Kushana didn't believe Liu Yufei, she could tell from the surrounding environment that he couldn't have been among the first to arrive. Just then, the soldiers behind them arrived to report.
"Your Highness, we found nothing about her, only this?"
The soldier held a golden crown in his hand, which was inlaid with a gemstone.
What's ahead?
"Your Highness, it's a place called Valley of the Wind, which is also one of our allied nations! They should be mobilized by now!!"
"Okay! Let's go take a look!!"
"And this one?"
"Kill them!!"
Kushana showed no particular emotion, as if executing a person was a trivial matter to her. Liu Yufei immediately cried out loudly:
"Ahhh! Your Highness, please spare me! Aren't you going to the Valley of the Wind? Their chieftain is a good friend of mine, I can show you the way!! Please spare my life, I'm willing to serve you at your beck and call!!"
The soldier next to him was furious! "Why should I wait on you? I haven't even had a turn yet!" he said, and drew his long sword.
"Wait, okay! You'll be our guide!!"
After all, Kushana had never dealt with the Valley of the Wind before. This "merchant" in front of her had traveled all over the country, so he was probably telling the truth. There was serious infighting within the royal family, and Kushana needed to win people's hearts.
"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness! I will definitely work hard!"
Liu Yufei's face was filled with obsequiousness as he repeatedly bowed, his movements both obsequious and obsequious, a sight that was laughable. But Kushana's eyes remained cold. She felt something was off about this man. Just moments before, when she had given the order to kill him, a sudden sense of unease had gripped her, which was why she had spared Liu Yufei's life.
That's true! Everyone in this world has Observation Haki, so if Kushana hadn't stopped them, they would have been wiped out.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, a large group of people is heading towards the valley! Judging from their attire, they are the troops of the Torumekia!!"
"Are you still here?"
Before Nausicaä could speak, Master Yuba remarked, and the villagers of the Valley of the Wind immediately responded, picking up their weapons and blocking the village entrance.
Kushana, of course, noticed this, and the soldiers around her began preparing for battle. Kushana, however, was in no hurry; after all, the armored forces of the Valley of the Wind were a joke to her. She coldly chuckled:
"The person who came here is evil!"
"Your Highness, we are the ones who have arrived..."
Kushana gave him a cold look in an instant, and Liu Yufei immediately shrank back, not daring to say another word.
"Didn't you say you were very close to them? Go and negotiate with them, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble!!"
Indeed, there's no need to fight now. Kushana's biggest concern right now is whether the Secret Stone is in the Valley of the Wind.
Liu Yufei obeyed the order and stepped forward to shout:
"Excuse me, is Chief Gil here? We have no ill intentions here. Her Highness the Princess cares about everyone and has come to bring you warmth!"
Liu Yufei waved his hands as he spoke, while the soldier next to Kushana muttered in disapproval:
"Why is this kid so talkative! He's so glib!"
Kiel, of course, couldn't show up. Instead, Master Yuba came out. Because of the distance, Yuba only recognized Liu Yufei when he got closer, since they had met just a few days ago.
Liu Yufei was furious the moment he saw Yuba. The story goes back a few days. Yuba had ventured deep into the Sea of Decay, and accidentally caused a disturbance among the swarm.
A massive swarm of insects charged toward him, but just when he had nowhere to run, the Guardian Robot rescued him and led him back to the newly built Laputa.
Liu Yufei was naturally hospitable. After all, Yuba was famous both in the comics and now. Needless to say, he provided good food and drink and did his best to be a good guest.
Finally, he was also given a lot of jewelry and herbs; the ones Yuba had given him from the Valley of the Wind were also given by Liu Yufei.
So that's it! Who would have thought that you can't judge a book by its cover? Liu Yufei considered this old guy a friend, and yet this old guy actually stole his cat while Liu Yufei wasn't looking!
Yuba was truly innocent. Dido wasn't kidnapped by him. How could someone his age do such a thing? It was the fox-squirrel who found Yuba by following his scent when he left, meaning Yuba ran away from home.
"Ah! It's you?"
Yuba hadn't expected that the person opposite him was Liu Yufei. He subconsciously thought that Laputa and the Kingdom of Dorumechia had cooperated, but when he saw Liu Yufei's hands, he immediately dismissed the idea.
Because Liu Yufei's hands were still shackled at this moment. That's right, at the soldier's suggestion, Princess Kushana generously rewarded Liu Yufei with two silver bracelets and a silver necklace, though they were connected together.
"Mr. Liu, what's wrong...?"
Yuba was stunned. Had he been captured? No way! Liu Yufei glared at Yuba resentfully and said:
"Cat thief, where's my cat?"
"Cats? They are!"
The cat/cat thing isn't the main issue anymore; the key is figuring out what these people are here for. Meanwhile, Kushana watches the two negotiating from afar. A soldier nearby reports:
"Your Highness, it is the great swordsman Yuba, who enjoys great prestige among the people!!"
"Yes! It's him. Okay, let's go. The main force, don't move!"
He's a famous person! He should be treated like one. Kushana wasn't exactly condescending, but Liu Yufei was even more polite, directly grabbing Yuba's beard.
"Stop talking nonsense, where's my cat?"
As far as Liu Yufei was concerned, what did Dorumechia or the great swordsman Yuba mean? If Yuba really was a great swordsman, Liu Yufei would turn around and leave.
