"Tokbagu, also known as Totlan, means the city that accommodates all races."
Walking under the cold and damp ruins, Long opened his mouth as he walked, seemingly talking to himself, and also seemed to want to tell her something.
"But no one can prove that such a city really existed in history, including big mom."
"Because records about it only exist in the history books at the beginning of the new era of history. Even that part, which was classified as taboo ancient knowledge by the government, was blocked in hindsight."
"Want some juice? Fresh."
A drink was handed to him, and Robin looked back. It was a girl with sunny orange short hair.
"My name is Kerra, and I am also a soldier of the Revolutionary Army!"
"Thank...thank you."
Robin forced a smile and took the juice. The camp in the ruins proved that the revolutionary army had discovered this place long ago.
But since they can block themselves here, it means they have discovered something and they need her to answer it.
"You're welcome."
Kerra said with a smile, and then with all her teeth and claws, the blond young man who took out the dried meat from the camp was dragged out by his ears.
"Saab! That's for the expedition!"
"It hurts, it hurts! I'll just eat a little, I'm starving to death."
"That won't work either, let it go!"
"Ah, my flesh!"
Long Yanpi glanced at them wildly and continued: "So we can be sure that Tokebagu was a city that existed in the blank hundred years."
"That's right."
After coming back to her senses, Nicole Robin temporarily suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and chuckled: "According to scholars' speculation, many things disappeared in those hundred years. In addition to Ravdru, there were also other islands that disappeared.
In the long history, Tokebagu is one of them."
It is also one of the closest to their era.
But it's a pity.
There was a hint of sadness in Robin's eyes.
They had just confirmed the existence of that ancient city when the World Government launched a demon-slaying order to destroy O'Hara.
Now that he has regained his freedom and regained his courage, the first thing Robin did was to follow the clues left by the scholars to find Tokbagu.
However.
She glanced at the torches lit on the walls around the passage and pushed her hair behind her ears: "I wonder what Mr. Long wants to see me for?"
Snap!
The footsteps stopped, Long heard the words and turned back with a smile.
"Don't be nervous, Nicole Robin. To be honest, we have been looking for your whereabouts over the years, but not for control, but for protection."
"You are the last scholar in O'Hara, the only archaeologist who can read ancient texts. You are our last hope."
Then the way you appear can be a little more friendly.
Robin couldn't help but curse.
There are many cases where archaeologists finally discover ancient ruins but are followed by pirates and treasure hunters. Otherwise, Robin would not have thought of taking action in the first place.
But this is just a misunderstanding, and it will be over soon.
Robin was more curious about what the dragon wanted.
Along the passage, they soon arrived at the location of the expedition team.
"leader!"
A short, fat but muscular middle-aged man wearing a searchlight saw them approaching and raised his hand to say hello.
"Thank you for your hard work Ruijie, how is the situation? Can you open it?"
Long asked.
"no!"
Hearing this, the leader of the expedition team named Ruijie shook his head decisively: "The internal structure of this city is too complicated. In addition, this area is speculated to be a building prepared for small humans. The support points are fragile. Forcibly opening it can easily cause landslides.
Until then......"
Casualties are one thing, but attracting the attention of the Navy or the government is another.
Speaking of this, he saw the confusion in Nicole Robin's eyes and explained: "The little humans are small but their strength is no worse than that of adults. In addition, they can communicate with insects and move quickly and are not easily noticed by others, so where they live
was entrusted with the important task of preserving the city’s history.”
"We have cleared out some of the slates and placed them at the corner over there. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."
Robin nodded blankly, and after Ruijie left, he couldn't help but ask, "He knows me too?"
"Hahahaha, you are more famous than you think, Nicole Robin."
Long smiled, then pointed at the collapse marks blocking the way and said.
"By the way, I have one more thing to trouble you. It takes time to open the passage, but through that gap, we can already see what's inside."
"oh?"
Robin's eyes lit up and he was a little excited.
"What is it?"
In this regard, Long did not appeal: "Historical text!"
Whoosh!
As soon as the words fell, Robin had disappeared.
The gap is very small, only as wide as an ordinary person's hand.
Through the complex interlacing of gravels and roots like fragments in a kaleidoscope, one can see a large space on the opposite side.
The fluorescent stick thrown in brought a little light, allowing her to clearly see the corner of the huge stone tablet.
Historical text!
There is no doubt that although there was no contact, Nicole Robin determined the true face of the other party immediately.
Thinking that what he had been looking for for many years was right in front of him, Robin took a deep breath and turned around.
"I want to go in and have a look."
"This is also the reason why we are looking for you, but the passage cannot be opened yet."
"No, as long as I can see it, I think I'm pretty sure."
As he spoke, Robin crossed his hands on his chest and slowly closed his eyes.
"Dazzling!"
The dragon didn't stop.
He may know Nico Robin's fruit abilities better than she does.
In the dim stone room, arms grew out of the ground one by one. They first picked up the fluorescent sticks that fell on the ground, and then spread their palms to reveal the eyes in their palms.
There is an eye in the palm of each hand, and they are all looking at the stone slab at this moment. The picture is horrifying.
This is Nico Robin's fruit power.
Superhuman type·Superpower·Flower fruit!
It can make body parts grow like flowers from tangible objects within sight, but the focus is on "tangible objects" rather than "sight range".
In other words, as long as she sees that thing, within the scope of her ability, she can make her arms and other parts bloom on the other person's body.
Taking people as an example, even if the other person is facing her, as long as she sees it, she can grow arms on the other person's back.
“It’s really the text of history!”
With the help of the light of the fluorescent stick, Robin finally saw the entire stone.
But now was not the time to observe carefully. She quickly wrote down the contents above, then released her hands and opened her eyes to gasp.
In order to prevent omissions, making so many eyes at once was extremely stressful for her.
Fortunately, with the intelligence to pass the "doctoral examination" with full marks to become an archaeologist at the age of eight, she has memorized the content completely.
At this time, Long asked impatiently.
"How's it going? What's written on it?"
"yes......"
"The history of Tokebagu seems to be consistent with some documents. I need more detailed information to study it."
Closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Robin didn't hide anything, but suddenly, Robin noticed that Long's face didn't look very good, and couldn't help but frown.
"Mr. Long?"
"Ah, I'm fine."
Long came back to his senses and shook his head: "History is good, at least we can understand more about the past."
"Isn't this what Mr. Long is looking for?"
Robin tilted his head, and then his pupils shrank: "Do you want to find ancient weapons?!"
"Huh, I really can't hide it from you."
Long smiled bitterly: "Indeed, what I'm looking for is an ancient weapon."
"Because there is definite news that the world government is close to finding Hades."
Hades!
Robin took a breath.
Legend has it that the ancients built the most evil warship in history!
It can destroy an island with one shot, the destructive power is quite amazing!
but......
Thinking of what another man had said to her, Robin slowly calmed down.
"In addition, the Black Earl and the Golden Emperor in the New World are not very honest. There may be a war in the future."
Long sighed: "And we are too weak. Compared with them, we don't even have enough confidence."
Robin: "..."
Well, no wonder that man is so...arrogant.
I don't like ancient weapons.
Did it turn out that he was enough to force a vicious person like Long to find ancient weapons to fight against him?
Robin thought a little funny.
At this time, after exchanging a few words with Sabo in a low voice, Long turned his head and said.
"But since we failed, we must not let the world government succeed!"
He looked at Robin and asked seriously.
"Can you help us?"
"If it's limited to historical truth...it's okay."
At the same time, Lovett, who returned to Auroville, also received notification from his subordinates.
"There's something weird!"
Putting down the information in his hand, Lovett frowned and thought.
"It doesn't hurt me to stir up trouble now. What is your purpose?"
Do you still want to use Kaido's hand to deal with me?
Then... I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you.
Lovett smiled and looked back: "There will be many pirates attracted by rumors in the past few days, so remember to be prepared."
"yes!"
The three black knights bowed and saluted with murderous intent.
