Childhood Anime Grand Tour

"Guest, please forgive the rudeness of my people!!"

The master looked at Nausicaä but didn't move his mouth, which startled Nausicaä.

"Psychic power?"

It turns out that the old monk could communicate with people using his mental powers, but he was clearly not as good as Nausicaä in this respect. His abilities only worked at short distances, or even when they required physical contact.

He was only using the power of the mind, while Nausicaä's ability was the power of the heart, a power that could still reach the depths of the heart even when separated by distance.

"Our two distinguished guests have come from afar; our Tugui Kingdom should extend them the warmest welcome! We apologize for any offense we may have caused!"

These words were spoken aloud, so Asbel heard them too. The two of them frowned instantly. These were not pleasant words; to put it bluntly, they were a form of disguised imprisonment.

"What do you mean? We're not your prisoners..."

"Okay, Master, please don't hurt my friend!!"

Asbel was getting impatient, but Nausicaä was much calmer. Given the circumstances, she had no choice but to compromise for the time being. Asbel wanted to say something, but when he saw Nausicaä's eyes, he immediately shut up.

The master immediately made a gesture of invitation, and a maidservant immediately led the way for Nausicaä.

"Sir, please arrange for me to stay over there!!"

"Ah! Why?"

"This is the girls' dormitory, you can't go in!!"

Surprisingly, the management here was quite effective, and after Nausicaä gave him a reassuring look, Asbel stopped struggling!

When Nausicaä entered the room, she realized that their treatment was indeed similar to that of prisoners of war. The small room was crowded with people: elderly women, crying babies, and curious girls!

"You are..."

The maid did not answer, but maintained her smile. This ship did not look like a warship; it looked more like a refugee ship.

Meanwhile, Crotova was inspecting the area around the camp, which had been his main task for the past few days.

"What a terrible place! There isn't even a bug!!"

"Captain, there's an acidic lake ahead, which is why this place is barren!"

"Heh, an acid lake? This place is really not suitable for camping! But it's also a good thing, so I don't have to wear that uncomfortable mask!!"

The corrosive properties of the acid lake prevent fungi from growing there, which is why Kushana built her camp here. Soon, Crotova arrived in front of an airship that had been damaged in the previous battle and was being repaired there.

"Guys, can you handle this?"

"Captain Crotova, you're something else! This wrecked ship has been repaired hundreds of times!!"

Clearly, Crotova may not have many other skills, but he does have the ability to get along well with soldiers, which is also thanks to his background.

"You young people are never satisfied! I've been sailing a much more dilapidated boat since I was sixteen, and I've been doing it for ten years!!"

It's like reminiscing about those glorious years; you'll understand why Crotova can get along so well with these pilots! The soldiers not only admire Crotova's character but also his skills. They know that Crotova played a crucial role in Kushana's successful escape.

Clotova walked over, chatting and laughing, and ahead was the Valley of the Wind camp.

"Have those old men not left yet?"

"His Highness seems to be over there!!"

It turned out that the people of the Valley of the Wind had already begun to move. After Kushana sent Crotova away, she came over with the guards.

"Ah!! Your Highness..."

The old men of the Valley of the Wind immediately became serious upon seeing Kushana's arrival, thinking she was about to change her mind. However, Kushana's face remained expressionless.

"Your name is Mitt?"

"Your Highness, it is indeed I. I previously served as the clan chief's deputy envoy!"

Kushana wasn't interested in his identity; her eyes scanned the yellow gunboat, and she casually remarked:

"That girl, oh! Your princess, did she give that man anything?"

"Ah! Haha, Your Highness is joking! Our princess is still young and hasn't had a man yet!!"

Seeing Mitsu's sheepish grin, clearly he was trying to evade the question, Kushana wasn't annoyed, but continued:

"Didn't he take anything from you?"

"Things? How would I know? It seems the princess's pet wasn't taken back either. You can discuss the details with the princess herself when she returns, since she's representing the Valley of the Wind this time!"

Although Grandpa Mitt had a bad temper, he was by no means a rough person. He was very meticulous at crucial moments, otherwise Chief Gil would not have asked him to assist Nausicaä.

His cunning demeanor actually angered Kushana this time, but clearly, given his status, he wouldn't lash out; he merely murmured softly:

"Looks like that thing really isn't in his hands... Alright! Go and rescue your princess!"

As she spoke, Kushana retreated to the side with her attendants, but showed no intention of leaving. Mitt glanced at Kushana out of the corner of his eye, then calmly stepped forward, operated the control lever, and the engine roared to life.

Just then, a group of people sneaked in from the perimeter of the camp. They quickly approached the sentries on the outer perimeter, and with swift strokes of their knives, they instantly killed several of them, clearly demonstrating that they had received professional training.

But the soldiers of Dorumechia were no pushovers; the last soldier managed to dodge the attack and instantly drew a signal flare from his waist.

"@@(not good)!"

But it was too late to stop it, and although the signal light in the soldier's hand was not launched, it was successfully detonated!

Rumble...

What was that sound??

"Captain, that's the sound of the engines from the Valley of the Wind gunship!"

"Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind? Hehe!!"

As a double agent, his goal was naturally also to find out about the secret stone, and at first he also thought that the secret stone was with Liu Yufei! But didn't he invite Liu Yufei to dinner last time? He even used the honey trap, so Liu Yufei naturally didn't hide anything from him.

The key point is that there's no need to hide it! More importantly, Crotova also knows that Liu Yufei has no reason to lie to him!

Meanwhile, the vanguard of the earth demons, seeing that Dorumechia hadn't noticed anything, quickened their pace and crept deeper into the territory!

Grandpa Mito finally floated into the air. At this moment, he was thinking about going to the place where he landed last time, and he firmly believed that Nausicaä was still alive.

Meanwhile, on Nausicaä's side, Dido immediately became the darling of these girls. Although they spoke different languages, Nausicaä smiled for the first time in a long time in front of these innocent children.

An elderly woman next to her saw the tall Nausicaä and gave her a dress. Nausicaä immediately put it on and was admiring it.

"Thank you, Grandma!!"

Although they still couldn't understand each other's language, the old lady was so happy to see Nausicaä's figure that tears welled up in her eyes!

She sewed this dress for her granddaughter, but sadly, the war broke out before the granddaughter could wear it!

Just then, a black-haired girl walked in.

"The Master has finished praying and specifically asked me to come and invite you!"

"Thank you for your help!!"

If Nausicaä was still afraid of being in enemy territory, the sight of those women and children had eased her tension considerably. But now, hearing the monk invite her, Nausicaä remained polite, though her mind was on high alert once again.

"Um, where's my friend?"

"He's gone! Are those clothes you're wearing the ones Grandma Sora gave you?"

"Oh! Is she famous?"

"I begged my grandma for so long, but she said it was a gift for her granddaughter!! It seems she already knows!"

"what do you know?"

"Actually, her granddaughter died on the battlefield, but we've never told her..."

The girl finished speaking, and the joy she had felt from the beautiful clothes vanished instantly, replaced by a burden! Nausicaä looked in the mirror beside her and finally saw her full appearance; she really looked beautiful.

Then, looking at the two spaceships outside, the entire fleet was flying south.

"Are they planning a direct attack on the camp? How did they know?"

As a veteran pilot, Nausicaä was very sensitive to direction, so she immediately guessed that the fleet was heading towards the Allied camp.

"Nausicaä..."

Nausicaä was walking and thinking when she was awakened by a familiar voice. Asbel seemed to be in a bad mood. He had been asking the old monk questions, but the old monk hadn't said a word.

It wasn't until Nausicaä arrived that the old monk slowly opened his eyes, looking at her, and their eyes met.

"How pitiful... Your people are there too... We plan to wipe them all out!!"

Upon hearing this news, Nausicaä's eyes instantly turned to worry. This time, Asbel, who was standing next to her, knew that the two were having an encrypted conversation and didn't want to play along with him!

"Nausicaä..."

But in the end, Asberu still called out with concern, for in the spiritual world, the words of the master continued.

“You’re absolutely right… We knew about her trip south a long time ago, and it did indeed come from within the royal family. In the struggle for the throne, even brothers can easily betray each other; the royal family is inherently full of deceit and treachery.”

"But we are innocent..."

"The war has begun. No one is innocent. The vassal states and fifty-one small kingdoms, following the Holy Emperor's orders, resisted the southward advance of Kushana. We, the old, weak, sick, and disabled, were sent here!"

As he spoke, the monk had already reached out towards Asberu. It was not hard to understand from the old monk's words that whether it was the fifty-one vassal states or the allies of King Wu, they were all cannon fodder, and cannon fodder had no right to choose.

At this moment, Nausicaä was extremely depressed, her eyes glistening with tears.

"What a foolish war!"

In the end, all she could do was sigh. She didn't know why she had fallen into such a predicament, as if fate had gripped her throat, causing Nausicaä's body to tremble uncontrollably.

Asbel, however, was in a slightly better position, and then sneered:

"The border countries are the same; they must obey the tyrannical will of King Wu and be passively drawn into the war. This is why Peijit..."

If Nausicaä was afraid of her impending fate, Asbel had already been visited by misfortune!
