Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Chapter 57 Body and Soul

"Four Seas Alliance?"

The thin young man blinked blankly.

Luo Wen patted him on the shoulder and motioned, "Shall we go to the side and talk?"

The skinny young man hesitated, pointing to his stall and said, "But I still want to sell books..."

Luo Wen said, "I bought them all, how about it?"

"no!"

The thin young man's tone suddenly became agitated, and he stammered: "These are left by the teacher, I... I don't want to sell them, but everyone has nothing to eat, I..."

The young man seemed very unaccustomed to talking so much with others in one breath, he danced and blushed.

Obviously, he didn't want to sell those books at all, but because of the shortage of food, he had to.

Luo Wen hooked his fingers, and helped the skinny young man tidy up the booth with a thin string of gravel, and then put the package on the young man's back.

"Come with me, I'll take care of the food issue."

After saying that, Luo Wen turned and left.

Looking at Luo Wen's back, the thin young man hesitated again and again, thinking that the other party had promised to solve the food problem, he gritted his teeth and followed in Luo Wen's footsteps.

...

The three of them walked together and came to the beach not far from the market.

There's no one here, so it's relatively easy to talk.

Rowan was chatting with the thin young man, but Crocodile noticed that the mysterious tall and thin black figure appeared on the roof in the distance for the third time.

The man was leaning on the beam, with his arms folded on his chest, as if observing when Rowan and Crocodile would notice his presence.

I have seen you!

Crocodile sighed inwardly, and turned his gaze to Rowan.

Rowan, as always, chose to ignore it.

At this moment, he was talking happily with that young man.

Most of the people in Sky Island are simple and hospitable in nature, and Luo Wen gave the young man a very friendly feeling, so the young man gradually let go of his guard.

"My name is Harb. I'm not a meteorologist. My teacher is."

Habu introduced his background to the two Qinghai people.

"My teacher and I usually live on a small island. The teacher is responsible for studying meteorology and writing books. He is mainly responsible for taking care of him, reading books occasionally, and taking notes in the books."

"I didn't write something in the book on purpose!"

Harb emphasized: "Sometimes the teacher writes too fast, and I forget what I have written, so I have to mark it clearly so that the teacher can understand it."

Luo Wen asked, "Where's your teacher?"

"It disappeared four years ago."

Habu scratched his head and recalled: "He suddenly asked me several questions in the book that night. I remembered that I had clearly marked them, but the teacher said I didn't mark them, so I told them what I remembered. The teacher listened."

"The teacher nodded and said that I left it to you. He was going to investigate some things, and then disappeared the next day."

Hearing this, Rowan and Crocodile looked at each other.

Crocodile: "See what I do?"

Luo Wen: "Well, I just think we should give some feedback at this time."

"Boring, I'm not interested!" Crocodile snorted coldly, turning his head aside.

On the other side, Habu seemed to think of something suddenly, "By the way, there are many books left by the teacher that have not been finished. After thinking about it, I think the teacher forgot again, so I finished it for him!"

As soon as this remark came out, both Rowan and Crocodile couldn't help squinting their eyes slightly.

"I finished writing for him" - those are just a few words, but not simple.

Crocodile has probably read Habu's book just now, and he knows that it is indeed very complicated knowledge of meteorology.

Being able to complete the completion of this level of meteorology works shows that Habu's attainments in meteorology are absolutely no less than the "teacher" he calls!

But this young man who is not good at getting in touch with people seems to be unaware of this.

"By the way, two gentlemen from Qinghai, have you met my teacher?"

While talking, Habu took out a portrait, on which was a little old lady with a hunched body and a kind smile on her face.

Both Rowan and Crocodile shook their heads, they had never seen that person before.

"Ah, where did the teacher go!"

Habu lowered his arms and sighed, "I've asked all over Sky Island, even Bika, and there's no clue about the teacher."

"Maybe he went to Qinghai?"

Ha Bu speculated to himself: "But Qinghai is so big, there are so many people, I can't ask..."

Rowan continued to flip through Habu's book, while explaining the Universal Alliance to Habu with a smile.

Crocodile had heard those words many times, and they all meant the same thing, so he didn't bother to listen to them again.

But this is the first time Harb heard such a conception.

He didn't care about the huge commercial benefits that the fixed routes would bring after the establishment of the Universal Alliance, but focused on the level of information exchange.

"If I can freely travel to and from the sea, will I be able to find my teacher soon?"

Hobb's eyes began to light up.

"I haven't read the teacher's new book for a long time, so I can only write it myself, but reading my own book is so boring..."

Such an astonishing fact was said lightly by Habu, which made Crocodile slightly surprised.

He smirked a few times, and suddenly asked Habu: "Book, is it useful?"

"Um?"

Hubb was taken aback.

Crocodile pointed to Habu's stomach, "That's just useless paper, no matter how many books you read and write, when you're hungry, you still can't get half a fish, can you?"

Hearing this, Habu scratched his head, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

However, just when Crocodile felt that Habu was speechless, Habu suddenly said:

"No, not right."

"Why not?"

"The teacher said that books can fill you up." Habu said seriously.

Crocodile said with a smile: "How to eat?"

"Here." Habu pointed to his head, "The teacher said that books can fill your stomach here."

Crocker Dalton stopped and didn't continue to ask questions, because there was no need for that anymore.

After all, what they said was not a problem at all!

Luo Wen laughed lightly and said, "Books, no matter whether knowledge or culture is written on them, are always just a combination of paper, ink, and thread."

"A cannonball can shatter the book cover, and a fire can burn the pages, but that only destroys the carrier."

Rowan closed the book and handed it back to Habu, then grinned and said:

"Food can maintain the existence of your body."

"And what the book carries is the soul."

"When the soul and the body come together, it is a 'human'."

...

The conversation continues.

Hubb was interested in Cosmopolitan, as it sounded like it would help him find his teacher as quickly as possible.

"If Sky Island can really connect with Qinghai, that's really exciting!"

But Hubb still needs Rowan's help, and that is to get enough food first.

Not for him, but for the children who stayed in his tent.

Rowan was thinking about how to catch fish.
