The Roger Pirates' Rising Star

"Teacher, what's wrong with Captain Roger? His complexion has seemed a bit off ever since we landed on the island!" Walking through the jungle, Fang Yi cautiously asked Yamon beside him.

Yamon shook his head and didn't say a word, merely teasing Wangzai (a little companion) who was lying on Fang Yi's shoulder.

After sailing for several days, they reached this uninhabited island at noon. But from the moment they landed, Captain Roger seemed a bit off. After gathering everyone, he headed straight in a certain direction, as if he had been to this small island before.

As they walked, Fang Yi began to sense something was amiss. It seemed as if there was a voice calling to him, and the direction they were heading was precisely where the voice originated.

"What... what's going on?" Fang Yi tried to stop himself, but he could still feel that faint call. And the farther he walked, the stronger the call seemed to be, and the clearer the voice got.

"Xiao Yi, what's wrong with you?" Yamon, who was walking beside him, was the first to notice Fang Yi's abnormality.

"Teacher... I..." Xiao Yi didn't know if he should tell the other person about this, but thinking about this strange situation might bring some danger to everyone, after some thought, Xiao Yi told him about his situation.

"You heard a voice calling you?" Yamon was taken aback and then asked seriously, "Which direction is it? Point it out to me!"

"It's right in front of us!" Xiao Yi pointed forward firmly.

"Captain Roger!" After nodding, Yamon shouted directly at Roger.

Then he stepped forward, pointed at Xiao Yi, and said something to Roger.

"Xiao Yi, Yamon said... you can feel something calling you?" Roger, along with Rayleigh and others, came to Xiao Yi's side and asked.

"Yeah! I don't know what it is. I'm worried there's danger ahead!" Xiao Yi nodded and said seriously.

He was just afraid that Roger and the others wouldn't believe him. What if there really was some danger later? That would be terrible.

"Can you tell me in detail?" Roger and Rayleigh exchanged glances before asking Xiao Yi.

"Well... I can't really describe it. It's as if someone is whispering in your ear, but you can't hear clearly what they're saying! But I can just feel that it's right in front of us!" Afraid that Roger wouldn't believe him, Xiao Yi said anxiously, "Captain Roger, I'm telling the truth!"

"Don't be in a hurry. I believe you!" Roger waved his hand and said with a smile, "Because... I can feel it too!"

"Ah?" Xiao Yi was really shocked this time. He thought he was the only one who felt this way, but unexpectedly, Roger told him that he felt it too.

Looking at the smiling Roger, Xiao Yi calmed down. Since he already knew that Roger had the ability to listen to the voices of all things, he was guessing if he had also awakened this ability.

"So, Captain, do you know what exactly is calling us?" After putting aside his worries, Xiao Yi asked curiously.

Roger shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, during our previous adventures, I discovered this ability of mine. As long as I concentrate, I seem to be able to hear the voices of all things! But I'm different from you. I've never actively felt something calling me!"

Fang Yi nodded thoughtfully. He couldn't listen to the voices of all things yet. Maybe it was because his ability had just awakened. However, Roger said he had never encountered a situation where he was actively called. So, did that mean Roger had already used his ability when they first arrived on the island and knew what was here?

Soon, a group of people followed Roger to a huge cave.

"Xiaoyi (Fang Yi), is the voice calling you coming from inside the cave?" Roger looked at Fang Yi beside him and asked.

Fang Yi nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes! It's very close. It's inside!"

Roger smiled slightly, looking as if he had expected it. As he walked forward, he said, "I felt it when I landed on the island. There's a very heavy voice here, as if it's telling me a piece of history!"

Hearing Roger's words, Fang Yi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...

To confirm his suspicion in his heart, Fang Yi couldn't wait to follow Roger into the cave.

The cave wasn't very big. In the center, there was a large, square stone block covered with moss and plants.

"Sure enough... it's a historical text!" The moment he saw the large stone block, Fang Yi knew that it was the historical text that had been calling him.

"Sure enough, it's this thing again!" When Roger saw the historical text, he said with a smile.

This proved that it wasn't the first time he had seen a historical text.

"I wonder what this is for. It seems that these things are scattered all over the world!" Rayleigh stroked his chin and said.

Roger grinned and looked at Fang Yi, who was staring blankly, and said, "Maybe... this time Xiaoyi (Fang Yi) can give us the answer!"

However, at this moment, Fang Yi ignored Roger's teasing. Instead, he stared directly at the historical text. For some reason, he had an urge to touch the historical text immediately. It seemed that the voice in his mind kept reminding him to touch it.

So Fang Yi stepped forward directly and reached out to touch the historical text.

The moment Fang Yi touched the historical text, a passage of ancient characters seemed to directly enter his mind. Although he didn't understand what it meant, soon, the system's prompt tone rang out continuously:

"Detected an incomplete historical text... Scanning in progress..."

"Scanning completed. Congratulations to the host for finding the lost historical text. You've obtained 1000 points!"

"Points obtained for the first time. The mall interface is now unlocked..."

After the system's prompt tone ended, Fang Yi noticed that the three icons in the bottom right corner had become four. The last one should be the mall the system mentioned just now.

However, before he could check the functions of the mall, seeing Fang Yi standing still after touching the large stone block, Roger and the others couldn't help but gather around.

"Little Yi, did you sense anything?" Roger asked with a hint of expectation.

"Captain... do you know what this is?" When Roger asked, Fang Yi didn't have time to check the mall just opened by the system. Instead, he directly asked Roger back.

"Not sure! But I can feel that from the stone, there's a sense of historical weight, and... a tragic war!" Roger shook his head and said.

Fang Yi pondered for a moment and then said, "You're right, Captain. What you felt is probably the feeling these words convey. These are ancient characters, and they record the history of the blank one - hundred years. So, this kind of stone is also called - the historical text!"

"Historical text?" Everyone, including Roger, looked at Fang Yi in surprise.

They were pirates, not scholars. This kind of thing held no appeal for them.

"Then can you read what's written on it?" Rayleigh looked at Fang Yi and asked.

Fang Yi shook his head and said, "I can't read it! Just like the captain, I can only feel the sensation these words convey to me!"

"As expected?" Roger sighed and said, "Since we arrived at Shuixianxing Island, we've lost our way forward. I thought there might be some clues on this stone, but it turns out it just records history!"

Fang Yi was stunned. Only then did he realize that the Roger Pirates had lost their way forward, but Roger didn't give up. The stones he saw during the adventure caught his attention, and he hoped to find clues from them.

"Captain, why do you think there are clues on these stones?" Fang Yi pretended to be a little surprised and asked.

Roger shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just have this feeling!"

"I seem to have this feeling too... I feel that these stones... seem to be guiding us somewhere!" Fang Yi hesitated for a moment and said.

The reason he said this was that he hoped to use the power of the Roger Pirates to find more historical texts.

Just now, when he touched the historical text, he got a thousand points. Although he still didn't know what the points were for, it was obvious that the system wanted him to find more historical texts so that he could get more points.

And Roger wanted to go to the final island. The historical text was also something he had to understand. So, it was a win - win situation. Only at this time would Roger and the others believe what he said.

"Yeah, yeah! Me too! I knew these stones were something special!" Hearing what Fang Yi said, Roger immediately perked up and said excitedly.

"Although it seems a bit incredible, at present, we really don't have a better way. Then let's do as the captain said... go look for these strange big stones!" Rayleigh also nodded in agreement.

"But we don't know these characters!"

"Even if there's a way to reach the ultimate destination recorded on it, we won't be able to understand it!" Jabba, standing beside them, said with a frown.

"How about... we make rubbings of these characters now? This way, while we're looking for more historical texts, we can also look for someone who can decipher ancient characters. Then we can just ask them to translate what we've rubbed off for us. Isn't that a good idea?" Fang Yi thought for a moment and then suggested.

"Right, what Xiao Yi said makes sense. Let's do it like this!" Roger grinned and said with a big laugh.

So, after having a new goal, Roger decided to stay on the small island for one night to rest and set off early the next morning to look for more historical texts and ask around for someone who can decipher ancient characters on the way.

In the evening, the excited crew members held another feast. It was only then that Fang Yi had time to check out the newly obtained mall function.
