I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 371 Dilemma

After giving orders to his men, Mbappe immediately set out for the village on the island with Edward, Houston, Celia, and Aniya, a total of five people who still refused to stay in the airship.

However, when the group of people walked to the village, they felt extremely strange. There was no one in the village on the island, and it was as empty as a ghost town.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Looking at the deserted village, Edward muttered to himself in confusion.

"Did all the residents on the island move away?"

Aniya casually pushed open a room on the side, but it looked like this house had not been occupied for a long time, and there was thick dust everywhere inside.

At this time, Houston on the other side seemed to have discovered something, and immediately rejected Aniya's idea: "No, your statement is wrong, there should still be people living here. But it seems that because of some sudden incident, everyone left here.

And it’s very rushed, it won’t take long, look here.”

Everyone ran to the location he mentioned and found a half-weaved fishing net placed next to the house, and the various tools used to weave the fishing net were scattered aside.

Mbappe picked up a few items at random, looked at them in his hands, and then nodded.

"Houston is right, everything is very new.

And judging from the traces left, the time was very short, but why..."

At this time, Edward suddenly felt something and immediately turned his head to look at the house behind him.

Although it was only for a short moment, Edward still saw a figure, which flashed past and disappeared at the end of the corner.

"Who is there!" Although Edward shouted before him, he moved even faster.

As soon as he finished speaking, the person had already rushed to the corner, and happened to see the figure running towards the other side again.

Although that person's movements were not slow, the problem was that the person following him was not an ordinary person.

With Edward's speed, he finally caught the guy before the shadow reached the next corner.

"Hey, sneaky, what are you going to do..."

After Edward caught the person, he immediately planned to ask for answers, but when he found that the person he was holding in the air like a chicken was actually a little girl about the same age as Ania, he couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds.

But the girl didn't buy Edward's blame. She was seen struggling desperately to pull Edward's hand away, while shouting at Edward: "You big bad guy, let me go, let me go quickly. Bad guy..."

"

"Edward, what happened... uh, what happened to that girl?"

After the others saw Edward chasing him out, they quickly followed and immediately found the girl caught in Edward's hands.

"I don't know either. But she was the one who was spying on us just now." Edward shook his head and replied.

"Hey, what are you doing secretly spying on us? And, where are the people in this village?" After Edward finished speaking, he looked back at the girl and asked.

"I won't tell you even if I die, bad guy..." The girl still looked like she would rather die than surrender.

But before Edward could say anything else, another figure suddenly ran out from the corner. This time Edward could see clearly. The man had white hair and looked to be in his seventies or eighties.

I saw him running up to Edward, and before he could say anything, he plopped down and knelt down in front of Edward.

"Please, Lord Pirate. Whether you want money or food, I can give it to you.

Please, please let that child go no matter what, please..." The girl was obviously shocked when she saw the old man, and then immediately shouted to the old man: "Grandpa, don't be like this, it's because we are too weak that we have been bullied by them until now.

…”

However, the words between them made others confused. Edward immediately put down the girl in his hands, and then went up to help the old man up first.

"Hey, uncle, there seems to be a misunderstanding between us.

We're not pirates, we're just a few travelers in trouble."

"Ah? This... turns out to be a misunderstanding. I'm so sorry." The old man was stunned for a moment after hearing Edward's words, and then immediately showed an expression of relief on his face, "Okay, since you are all guests from afar.

, then please come to our village to have a rest first."

As he spoke, the old man led Edward and his party to a big house in the village. When the girl saw that Edward and the others did not mean any harm, she immediately ran into the woods. After a while, she saw many villagers coming one after another.

Xu walked out of the village.

It seemed that the situation was indeed as Houston guessed, they hid in a hurry for some reason.

After introducing themselves, the group finally found out that the old man was Happy, the elder of the village, and the girl was his granddaughter Irene.

But when Happy learned that Edward and the others needed magic crystals for the airship, he immediately showed embarrassment. "In fact, we could have found some magic crystals that can be used as energy sources here, but...well, I'm afraid now we can't find them."

It’s very difficult.”

"What happened, old man? Does it have anything to do with the pirates you just mentioned?" Edward on the side asked immediately after seeing Happy's expression of embarrassment.

"Well, actually, there was actually a pretty good magic crystal mineral vein on another island not far from this island. But recently, a large group of South China Sea pirates came here. After they discovered the mineral vein, they immediately occupied it, and they also

They often come to harass our village from time to time, not only snatching things, but also forcibly taking away the men in our village and forcing them to mine. Alas, so now the whole village is made restless by them."

Happy's face gradually darkened as he spoke.

"Okay, okay, let's just do this. We will help you deal with those pirates, and we will treat it as a reward for providing you with magic crystals. What do you say?" After hearing Happy's words, Edward immediately volunteered.

"It's a good feeling. But to be honest, there are hundreds of pirates, and it is said that their leader is very strong.

There are only a few of you, I’m afraid you haven’t even gotten close yet…”

"This..." When Edward heard what Happy said, he hesitated for a moment, not because he was worried that he would not be his opponent, but because he was worried that if he stayed here for too long, he might not be able to prevent Mokre's resurrection in time.

At this time, Happy also saw the embarrassment on everyone's faces, and knew that it was not convenient to continue discussing the matter, so he immediately stood up and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. You must be hungry too, I'll go

Find someone to help you prepare something to eat."

After saying that, Happy took Irene out of the room.

"What are you going to do about this matter?" After seeing Happy and his granddaughter leaving, Edward immediately raised his head and asked others for their opinions.

"If we have to take care of it, it shouldn't be a big problem, but I'm worried that it will delay time. After all, the time it takes to set off and reach the Abyss Canyon now is just barely in time for the day when heaven and earth meet, so..."

Houston touched his chin and expressed his opinion.

"But this village looks so...well, what should I do now?" Of course Edward understood what Houston meant, but he really couldn't bear to let him leave this seemingly poor village alone.

No one will leave their hometown untouched by others.

Before Edward made up his mind, Mbappe who was standing beside him had already seen through his mind. He patted Edward on the shoulder and said, "Okay, stop pretending here. I think you should have thought about it a long time ago."

Isn’t it clear? Our Lord Guardian Knight?”

Just when Mbappe finished speaking, he heard a bang from outside the door.

The group of people immediately looked out the door and saw Irene throwing all the fruits in her hands to the ground and kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you were the guardian knight of the temple. Please atone for the many offenses you caused before."

"Hey, Eileen, what do you mean? Get up." When Edward saw this posture, he was so frightened that he immediately jumped up from his chair.

"The Guardian Knight is the guardian and savior of this world.

An important figure who can bring hope and courage to everyone, and can lead the world to a bright future in any era.

How can we let you stay in a small place like this and care about such meaningless trivial matters like ours."

"How can you say that? No matter who sees this kind of thing, they should lend a hand to help."

Edward said while helping Eileen up.

"No, you are the key to this world. If something happens to you, it will most likely plunge the world into despair, so we can't let you take risks."

At this moment, Happy appeared at the door without knowing when.

"Wait a minute, what will you do if we just leave without caring? Are you not going to rescue your relatives, friends or even the people you love the most?"

"Lord Guardian Knight, we are very grateful that you can feel unfair about our situation here. But this is our village's own business, and we cannot let you go deep into dangerous places for this reason."

Happy said with a heavy face. "Wait a minute, you are not as convincing as me, old man."

Mbappe glanced at the villagers gathered at the door. Most of them were old, weak, women and children, and there was no young person at all. "With your current state, I'm afraid you can't do anything at all."

"Indeed, we can't do anything, but we have no reason to seek help from outsiders..."

"Then why? Don't you want to rescue them?"

Before Happy could finish speaking, Edward immediately interrupted him excitedly.

"Of course we hope to rescue our loved ones."

Happy was silent for a moment, and then, perhaps influenced by Edward's emotions, he said equally excitedly, "But, we just can't do anything to them."
