The two ran out of town through the streets and alleys, all the way to the dense forest in the mountains.
Xiao Luo saw that the surrounding trees were getting weirder and weirder, and his heart was a little hairy, and the old man was still running forward, fast like a sturdy young man!
"Hey, how far is it?"
Wouldn't it be to take her to the deep mountains and old forests, kill her, and then peel off the skin on her face to make an adult leather mask and hang it in your own store to sell?
Horror novels are written like this.......
“!!!"
The more she thought about it, the more Xiao Luo felt creepy, and her back felt cold, as if there was someone behind her, ready to sneak up on her at any time.
She subconsciously glanced back, but fortunately there was nothing.
"Almost there."
The old man's hoarse voice came softly.
Xiao Luo suppressed the fear in his heart and continued to run with the old man.
But she still felt scared in her heart, and in the end, she simply rushed forward with her head down, thinking of nothing.
A quarter of an hour later, the man stopped under a large tree about 10 meters wide.
Xiao Luo also slowed down, and she raised her head, but she couldn't see the top of the tree.
Just wanted to ask something, I saw the old man jump lightly and press on a certain piece of moss on the trunk, and that place instantly dented in.
Then a secret door appeared under the tree, slowly opened, it was dark inside, staring at it for too long, it would inexplicably produce a sense of fear, as if something unclean would rush out of it at any time, making Xiao Luo swallow saliva unconsciously.
The old man landed on the ground, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Let's go."
As soon as the words fell, he entered the tree alone.
Xiao Luo hesitated for a moment and followed in, since they have already come here, they can't retreat now, right?
When I first entered, I hadn't adapted to it, and I couldn't see anything in front of me.
After a while, you can gradually see the outline of the surroundings.
Inside, it was empty, without any decorations, it was a hollowed-out tree hole, the area was not large, it could accommodate about ten people, it was estimated that it was afraid that destroying too much would cause the tree to die.
On the ground opposite them lay a locked wooden box.
The old man stared at the wooden box, did not step forward, but looked at Xiao Luo: "That's what I'm going to hand over to you, go and see."
After that, with a wave of his hand, an invisible air blade light appeared, directly splitting the lock.
"Leave it to me? Be... What the? Xiao
Luo saw that the grandfather did not move, and she did not dare to move.
What if there is a hidden mystery in it, and as soon as you open it, a ghost thing pops out, and you will die because of this?
The old man saw that the little girl's vigilance was still quite high, and he no longer sold Guanzi: "The animal is a devil fruit, a ten-tailed fox phantom beast species." "
The top level of the animal line demon fruit is the phantom beast species, which can not only transform people into mythical animals or characters, but also give the owner special superpowers.
The phantom beast species is a rarer existence than the natural demon fruit.
"Phantom beast species? Or a ten-tailed fox? "
Xiao Luo has heard the legend of the ten-tailed fox, which is a higher level creature than the nine-tailed fox, and it is very difficult for the nine-tailed fox to break through the ten tails in mythology.
Originally, it was already difficult for the nine-tailed fox to succeed in cultivation, but the ten-tailed fox was even more difficult to encounter.
"Wait, this kind of good thing, why are you giving it to me? And you said before that you waited for me for almost 20 years? Is it just to give it to me? But how did you know I would be here 20 years ago? How do you know I'm the person you're looking for? In
addition to shock, Xiao Luo had a bunch of questions in her mind that she didn't understand, if it wasn't for this old man playing on her, then there must be some secret hidden in it.
Faced with the little girl's question, the old man sighed, not knowing where to start, he thought for a moment, and slowly said: "Remember the Gore I just mentioned to you." D. Roger, right? The Ten-Tailed Fox Demon Fruit was found by him in Ralph Drew.
"Before reaching Ralph Drew, Roger went to Fishman Island, and a soothsayer named Charlie told him that he would find a rare devil fruit on the final island, and he must give it to a black-haired girl who appeared on Mistria 20 years later, and the girl would come to the island to investigate the truth about the artificial fruit, and her face was very suitable for the fox mask."
The old man stared at Xiao Luo and smiled, and asked, "You said, is what Xia Li said very accurate?"
Without waiting for the little girl to answer, he said to himself: "At that time, Roger still didn't believe it, when he really arrived at Ralph Drew and found the Ten-Tailed Fox Demon Fruit in real time, he had to believe it."
"Xia Li also predicted that letting the girl eat the Ten Tails Fox Fruit would help his child survive the greatest calamity of his life, and if the girl did not appear in 20 years, Roger's child would surely die..."
"But the things that Xia Li predicted happened one by one, she is a well-known soothsayer on Fishman Island, and everyone respects her as Lord Xia Li, so her words, Roger has always taken it to heart."
"However, Roger was already terminally ill and could not wait for 20 years, so he entrusted this matter to me..."
"Later, he got married, disappeared for a year, ran alone to the navy to turn himself in, and soon he was publicly executed in the town of Rogue in the East China Sea."
They were still in touch that year, and Roger said he would give his child to a vice admiral named Karp to raise.
The old man asked him, why didn't you give him the child with you?
Roger laughed softly and didn't speak, not revealing a word, even if he didn't trust him, until now he didn't know what Roger thought.
That man was very deep, and even the closest people did not necessarily know him.
At the same time, he has the frankness and simplicity of a child.
That's right, he is a complex and contradictory person.
Xiao Luo listened to what the old grandfather said, his face was full of surprise, and his brain was still a little confused.
His words are highly credible.
Because he said that Ace would die.
Now Ace is only 17 years old, and he is still 3 years away from the top war.
There is also that Xia Li, who does exist, she is the big blue shark merfolk of Fishman Island, she has predicted the arrival of the era of sea pirates, and also foreseen the war on top, the death of Whitebeard and so on.
Good fellow, she can also foresee her, a person who came through the third dimension, which Xiao Luo never expected.
She had to digest the information slowly.
Seeing that the little girl did not speak, the old grandfather thought that maybe he was speaking too concisely, and she probably didn't understand.
So, he reminded: "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
"Why do you think I'm going to save Roger's baby?" Do I have that ability? She
never wanted to get too close to Ace, and another reason was that in that top war, Ace died in Marin Fando, and if the relationship was too good, he would definitely cry like Luffy until he suffocated.
Such a powerful white-bearded person who has not been saved, what can she do with a weak chicken?
The old man looked a little sad, and replied lightly: "It's probably a kind of sustenance, because in Xia Li's prophecy, you are the only hope for his child, even if the hope is small, you have to try, don't you?"
"This is what a father should do...."
How can he sit idly by knowing that his child is in trouble?
Whatever it is, he has to fight for his children.
Xiao Luo: "So, because of that prophecy, you found Caesar Courant, became his matchmaker, delivered him to the pirates to sell artificial fruits, and made a big deal out of it, all in order to lure me over?"
"That's right."
"Who the hell are you? What is the relationship with Roger? "
Xiao Luo has the impression that he has not seen this person in the original work, is it a character who did not appear?
The
old man hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his head and looked up, his eyes were full of yearning for the past: "I am Roger's stinky boy's master..."
