On the streets of Crow City, a five-meter-tall kobold wearing a Western helmet, armor, and a long sword hanging from his waist slowly walked up to Lynch and Robin.
"Your Majesty the Duke?" Vigita, the leader of the knight corps, said quickly, "Why are you here? I am about to send these two to your musketeers. These two people are-"
"The pirate Giovanna Giorno has a bounty of 400 million beli. The pirate Kujo Xu Lun has a bounty of 330 million."
The faces of Lynch and Robin were reflected on the lenses of Inuarashi's sunglasses. He said solemnly, "I just read the news about you this morning. It turns out that you are coming towards Zou..." The image reflected on the sunglasses
Move to the gravel block in Lynch's hand.
"Don't get me wrong, we didn't come this way." The owner of the hand holding the gravel clarified, "It's because the climate in the new world is too wild, so we stumbled upon a wild animal running around on the sea.
Elephant, just come up and take a look."
"Do I need to explain myself that my sailing skills are so poor?!" Vigita was shocked next to her.
Robin looked up at Inuarashi and pointed at the gravel in Lynch's palm, "Have you seen the words on it? Or have you seen similar stones?"
"..." Inuarashi was silent for a moment, "This is ancient writing. I have indeed seen it... and you, Kujo Xu Lun, can you really decipher this kind of writing?"
Robin was noncommittal.
I didn't answer the second half... Lin Qi thought.
Virgita said angrily: "Hey! Are you too rude to the Duke..."
"Vegita, you should go to the Whale Forest to rest first. The Musketeers should be in charge during the day." Inuarashi waved his hand gently, "There are very few people in the world who can recognize such writing. It is rare to encounter such a character.
Guest, I am very happy..."
Duke Inuarashi said so, and Vegita had nothing to insist on. She forced herself to sleep and nodded, then left and went straight to the direction of the Whale Forest.
"..." Robin didn't look at Lynch until Virgita walked away. Lynch shrugged slightly, "You are the captain, you decide."
Robin smiled slightly, finally looked up at Inuarashi's dog head and asked, "Can I believe you?"
"...!!" Inuarashi's silence was a little surprised. His long tongue hung between the interlaced canine teeth. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "It seems... you know what it means to learn this kind of writing."
Anyone who wants to decipher this "dangerous text" will be purged by the World Government. This female pirate would ask this question, obviously knowing what kind of danger it would bring if she was exposed.
Inuarashi said slowly: "Come with me and go to my palace to talk."
As expected, the red historical text was not mentioned easily... Lynch thought so, and Robin followed.
…
Entering the palace high in the middle of Crow City, Inuarashi led the two of them into a room and signaled Sicilian, the captain of the musketeers, to guard the door and not let anyone else in.
"That lion seems to have a provocative look in his eyes when he looks at us!"
Before Lynch entered the room, he looked back at Sicilian, the captain of the musketeers who was guarding the door. He had leonine fur and a wild mane.
When the door was closed, Sicilian looked at Lynch and Robin with something wrong in their eyes.
Inuarashi smiled and said: "Sicilian's creed is to go all out in everything he does. When he encounters subordinates who mention gentleness, love, children, sugar, honey and other innocent words in front of him, he will treat them mercilessly.
Pushed into a deep valley to temper... Haha, he probably saw a couple like you and thought he couldn't stand it."
Robin's attention was focused on ancient texts and possible historical texts. Hearing him say this, he couldn't help but be puzzled and amused.
"Then, let me answer your previous question." Inuarashi swung his cloak, took off his Western helmet, sat on the large sofa, pointed at Robin and said, "That kind of gravel with ancient characters written on it...
I have never seen it on this island."
Robin placed the gravel on the table that he had recreated with the help of a squirrel using his own tricks.
He specifically emphasized "gravel" and avoided the red historical text... Lin Qi nodded secretly and looked at the gravel on the table. Some of the ancient characters engraved on the surface have been worn away.
He said: "Since it is broken stone, it was obviously once on the main body of a big stone."
"'Hate', 'resentment'..." Inu Arashi said slowly, "Kujo Xu Lun, you just said that the ancient characters on this gravel contain words with this meaning..."
Robin said: "That's right. If we can find more stones like this on the island as Giorno said, maybe we can find more ancient writings and I can decipher more information."
Inuarashi said solemnly: "This is strange... I don't think that this island, this country, and our fur tribe will be related to such words..."
Robin said: "That's why we need to continue to look for more historical relics and continue research to know why."
"..." Inuarashi remained silent.
What he didn't say was that, in his opinion, anyone who had the ability to carve this kind of ancient writing on this island...
There is only the Kozuki clan of Wano Country.
The Guangyue clan and their fur clan have been friends for generations since hundreds of years ago, and they have a relationship like brothers.
How could they leave such writing on the island?
As he said, Lynch has no interest in history or ancient times. He prefers to live in the present.
After listening to Sister Robin chatting with the old dog head for a while, he became a little distracted... As he walked, he noticed the good brother's substitute. Why did that guy suddenly go to the head of the elephant master?
Although according to his temperament, he would indeed be interested in a miraculous creature like the Elephant Lord. But the manga reveals that the only people who can communicate with this big guy are the people of the Kozuki clan! Even if he wants to hear the Elephant Lord speak, he can't.
You must have the innate ability to "listen to the voice of all things" like Monkey D. Luffy and Pirate King Roger!
Lynch was sure he didn't have this thing. He tried it when he landed on Elephant Island, and Mao couldn't even hear it.
That is to say...
Lin Qi looked in the direction of the elephant head, and the substitute was quickly coming back this way.
It must have discovered something before it went to the elephant owner to confirm...
The black phantom silently passed through the palace wall and rushed straight towards Lin Qi - Lin Qi realized something and quickly raised his hand and shouted: "Hey! Wait a minute - Heizi, Xiaohei, Hei ah
,Calm down!—Brother Hei, Brother Hei!!!”
He yelled suddenly, causing Robin to hold his forehead. Inuarashi stopped talking and was shocked. What is going on?
"ah!!!!"
Lin Qi yelled uncontrollably, his skin all over was reddish, his temperature rose, and he was trembling slightly.
"What happened?" Sicilian, the musketeer captain with all his strength, pushed open the door and came in.
As soon as he came in, he saw that the pirate Giorno screamed in pain and almost rolled on the floor begging for a hug from his female captain - no, his female captain Kujo Xuren really hugged him with tenderness on her face.
, and gently stroked his back!
Sicilian walked over and the lion roared: "It's so ugly! Giorno! Even if the sky falls, you should grit your teeth and say nothing, but you hide in a woman's arms? It really makes me..."
He reached out to lift Lynch out of the female pirate's arms, and then kicked him down from the palace window, letting him reflect and reflect on what it means to be a man.
As a result, as soon as he stretched out his hand, his wild instinct suddenly felt a sense of danger, and then he saw Giorno's long hair condensed into a huge fist, and he came up and punched himself like a living creature...
Sicilian was caught off guard and was knocked out of the window.
"Do you have any eyesight?" Lin Qi let out a long breath, "What a stupid lion..." Fortunately, "B.I.B" didn't let "B.I.B" take action on the Moby Dick. This time, the substitute was recovered and it was easy to survive.
Robin covered his mouth with his fist and smiled softly.
Inuarashi couldn't help but shook his head, and then said: "In short, you can continue to search for the source of this broken stone on the island. I will let someone tell the monster cat about this at night..."
Robin said: "Sorry, I was observing around the island without permission before."
"Isn't this something rewarding? We have discovered something that even we don't know about..." Inarashi looked at the gravel engraved with ancient writings, "However, if you want to go to the Whale Forest to investigate, you need to acquire that
Only the Youkai Cat agrees."
"Okay." Robin nodded happily.
What kind of history is hidden in a thousand-year-old country that is rarely visited by people? She is looking forward to it.
"By the way, you may be interested in this." Inuarashi took out a newspaper delivered by Newsbird this morning from his arms, "There are headlines about you..."
Robin took it and took a look, a little surprised.
