Three days later, Ruby finally woke up.
Youyouzi didn't do anything in the past three days.
The harp of Uninhibited Words fell into her hands, and Yuyouzi wondered why they didn't come to take it back.
Asking Karim, she only got the answer "Since Ruby gave it to you, just take it."
But Youyouzi also happened to be a little curious about this broken piano.
After all, in the eyes of his crew, Ruby had borrowed his power from him, but Yuyuko herself knew very well that it was not Ruby but the harp in her hand who lent her power.
So in the past three days, Yuyuko was waiting for Ruby to wake up while studying the piano of Boogie Words.
Even Qi Shi ignored her when she asked her to go to Carnival City.
She felt a little uncomfortable because she couldn't see through this thing.
After all, this thing is a bit unreasonable and too restrained for her.
Even though Ruby seemed to have said when she fainted that this thing would have no effect on her in the future, she still didn't believe it.
It's a pity that after three days, no matter how much Yuyouzi played with the piano, it seemed as if it was dead and there was no reaction at all. Yuyouzi thought about destroying this thing, but since the matter had not reached the worst situation yet, Yuyouzi restrained herself.
"Sister, are you there?"
The crisp child's voice interrupted Youyouzi's random thoughts. Looking back, a little girl half-opened the door of the guest room and timidly put her head in to speak.
The little girl is Lucy, Ruby's younger sister. However, compared to Ruby, Lucy seems to be very afraid of strangers. When facing a group of strangers like Yuyuko, she is always reticent and will subconsciously react when there is any big movement. of hiding. According to Karim, Ruby and Lucy's parents died at the hands of a group of strangers. After Lucy accidentally learned about this, she became very afraid of all strangers.
Yuyouzi put down her uninhibited words and put on a smile, "What's the matter?"
If nothing happened, Lucy would never come to them.
"Well, my sister said that she has recovered a little, and said... please come over and discuss it in detail."
you?
Yuyuko noticed the change in this title. Before this, Ruby's tone was very respectful, but it was only respectful in tone. You have never said such a title that directly degrades you.
"Okay, I'll be right away."
After a brief tidying up, Yuyuko followed Lucy with doubts in her mind. There were many things she wanted to ask carefully.
"Hey, aren't we going to Ruby's room?"
Lucy shook her little head, "No, my sister said that if I want to talk to you about something, I have to go to that place."
"Am I the only one?"
Yuyuko found that Lucy didn't call anyone else.
"If... you feel uneasy, you can call your partner. That's what my sister said."
Yuyuko hesitated for a moment and chose to move on.
The two continued to move forward and soon left the Tianlan Shrine, and then continued walking backwards from the path behind the shrine until they came to a giant tree with a thick knotted rope tied around it.
In front of the tree, Ruby, dressed in a witch costume, prayed to the giant tree.
He turned around when he heard the sound behind him, and when he saw Youyouzi approaching, he quickly stepped forward to salute. "You're here."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned his sister to leave.
After Lucy left, Yuyuko asked, "Why is there a shrine here? What is your relationship with Wano Country?"
Ruby smiled and shook her head, "Please don't be anxious. I've already heard what Grandma Karim said about you. In fact, there are many things that I can't tell you at once. Please let me tell you one by one, okay?"
Youyouzi nodded, feeling a little anxious indeed.
Ruby breathed a sigh of relief. She was a little excited now. It took her a long time to calm down to be able to speak in her current state.
"Then please come with me and we'll talk as we go."
Ruby made a gesture of invitation, then led the way to the big tree, and then opened the secret entrance under the tree. "please!"
Since Youyouzi chose to believe in the other party, she no longer hesitated and entered directly.
A row of lights lit up, and Youyouzi could see clearly what was inside.
A straight passage leads deep into the depths. You can see a large room at the end.
Ruby closed the entrance, and then led Yuyuko forward. At the end, there was an empty platform, and there were several doors around the room.
Ruby pushed one of them aside and walked inside.
Among them is a row of bookshelves filled with books.
"This is our family's collection of books, which contains many records of the six hundred years of Carnemea's history."
As she spoke, Ruby took down a very old book from the top of the bookshelf and handed it to Yuyuko.
"Legend of a long, long time ago."
"At that time, the island of Carnemea was not where it is now. Legend has it that Carnemea was an island that fell from the sky. Our ancestors were once residents of the sky. The turmoil in the sky made us fall to Qinghai. In that catastrophe The Carnemeans were almost extinct, and those who survived built the village where we are now and repopulated it."
"But these are just legends. The real recorded history began seven hundred years ago."
"At that time, a large ship brought a treasure from afar, and the accompanying Lady Undine settled down again. During that period, Lady Undine used the power of the wind to protect the entire island of Carnemea. Legend has it that at that time Carnemea Meia, because it disrupted the magnetic field of the Grand Line, had a very chaotic climate, with strong winds coming all year round. Lady Undine used her power to calm the strong winds, saving Carnemea from having to endure the harsh weather. weather."
"But Lady Undine only sheltered Carnemea for a few decades, and then left one day six hundred years ago. Before she left, a woman found her, and they wanted to talk for a long time. After that That’s how Tianlan Shrine came to be.”
Ruby's narration was a bit confusing, but it roughly followed a timeline.
Yuyuko roughly understood the legend, but the description was far more detailed than the writing. While listening to Ruby's explanation, Yuyuko was also looking through the books on the bookshelf.
Although it is said to be a book, it is actually nothing more than a diary-like record, but through the passages in it, Yuyuko has a rough impression of the history of Carnemea.
"this……"
Suddenly Yuyouzi stopped flipping through the book, and her heart was filled with emotion as she looked at this record in the book.
"When the distinguished guest is named Tianyue, Lady Undine always calls her Sister Shi. Today, I accidentally overheard their conversation. The distinguished guest Tianyue said that she came from the past and was going to the future to witness a piece of history. Words She seemed very eager. 'I want to see that moment happen,' she said."
…
"One year later, Undine suddenly said that she was going on a long trip with Shi. Before leaving, Lady Undine left a mission. This mission... I don't understand. Will anyone want that thing? But Wen Tini Lady Tini is our great benefactor and our god. Since it is something she was not worried about before she left, it must be a very important matter."
The book has no name. Perhaps it once did, but the worn surface is no longer visible.
Continuing to read, a book titled "The Return of Lady Undine" fell into Yuyuko's hands.
"It has been a hundred years since Lady Undine left for a long journey, but yesterday, Lady Windine came back. She seemed a little haggard, and she was silent all day after she came back. …"
Later, he recorded a lot of Undine's daily life.
"Ms. Undine planted a tree behind the shrine. That tree blooms very beautiful flowers every spring. Kerr likes it very much. ..."
"Lady Undine is playing the piano again. She said that the piano is the call of the wind, and she will keep the power of the wind in it to tell those who come after her how to obtain the favor of the wind. ..."
"Ms. Undine stayed in bed today. Under the quilt, Mistress Undine was thinking about Sister Shi's condition. Hmm~ Who is Sister Shi? I'd better go check the information."
"At night, Lady Undine said that she had foreseen some fragments of the future. She hurriedly found her favorite harp and worked hard all night. She didn't know what she was doing, but Lady Undine must have been thinking about it. Let’s think about the future.”
…
Watching Yuyuko rummaging through the follow-up, Ruby stepped forward to stop her.
"The content behind this book is gone. My parents and I searched through the books here one by one but could not find any subsequent content. After this book, we have never seen it in the records of all subsequent witches and priests. A description of Lady Undine.”
"And the first sentence of every subsequent record became a sentence."
"When the movement of freedom sounds in the open air, the wind will protect Carnemea again. The sound of Undine's piano will guide you to find the new wind."
