Pirates: The Black Earl

Lovett is reading a book, a travelogue that records the customs of Wano Country. Although many of the contents are no longer in line with today's Wano Country, he still reads it with great interest.

"Not only is it not rumored, but only the blood of the gods of the Guangyue clan can leave traces on the mysterious material?"

Shaking his head, Lovett smiled.

"It seems that no matter where it is, there are things that deify the ruler."

Then look up...

"So, what's the matter?"

Crash!

The paper sliding door with the pattern of cranes, pines and cypresses was gently opened, and Aka changed into a warrior costume and was sitting in the corridor. Hearing this, he put his hands on his lap and bowed his upper body: "Master, Miss Xiao Zi wants to see you." you."

"Oh? Let her in."

"yes!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped back and left, and after a while, two kinds of footsteps sounded.

"I have seen Lord Black Earl."

Xiao Zi, who didn't have a fancy formal attire but just put on a simple kimono, was lying on the ground respectfully. Through the long emerald hair, she could see a bloodstain on her neck.

If she hadn't reacted quickly, the lantern monster would have cut her neck open.

Lovett's order was very simple. After nightfall, the outer wall of the mansion should face inward within ten meters, and there should be no second living person.

At this moment, Xiao Zi still has lingering fears.

It is only now that I understand that Kaido and Earl Black are not close allies, but competitors. How could he allow his men to help guard the mansion.

The self-confidence and self-esteem of a strong man does not allow him to hand over this kind of matter to his opponent, and he is inherently weaker than the opponent.

"Looks like my pets have gone too far."

Lovett smiled faintly, supported Xiao Zi with his magical hand, and said with a smile: "Here, I would like to apologize for disturbing Miss Zi."

"So……"

Before Xiao Zi opened her mouth,

He restrained his smile: "Orochi has reached a consensus with Kaida, I don't think it's a wise decision for you to come to me."

"I don't want to make blood flow in the celebration three days later."

There are two major festivals in Wano Country, one is Wano Country's New Year's celebration, which is the same as many islands in the sea, and the other is the Fire Festival.

For Wano Country, even birthdays, weddings, funerals and other major events are not as important as these two festivals. The City of Flowers started preparations a month ago, and even drove the homeless people staying in the City of Flowers out of the city , so as not to disturb the festive atmosphere.

"that……"

Xiao Zi's heart twitched, her throat felt dry.

Different from the banquet that day, Earl Hei's demeanor is obviously different today, that kind of indifference and indifference can only be felt by looking directly into his eyes.

However, she was still strong enough to overcome the psychological pressure, and said, "Yes, I'm not here today for Master Orochi."

Orochi-sama... next?

Lovett seemed to realize something: "Shouldn't this be a woman's self-proclaimed name?"

"Yes, I am the daughter of a samurai, and my family was ruined, so I have to live in Huajie!"

Lowet nodded: "It's no wonder that the families of so many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries can be ruined. Even if an ordinary woman becomes an oiran, she can't do such a thing."

"I am ashamed!"

"Then...not because of the big snake, why did you come to me?"

Lovett picked up the wine glass offered by A-Ka and asked.

"To tell you the truth, I would like to donate all my family wealth, and implore Earl Hei to resurrect my family!"

"interesting!"

Lovett said with a smile: "Kaido has hinted that Orochi warned everyone not to cause him trouble, and you dare to come to me... Well, that's right, you are not a powerful person, as long as you don't really offend them, I'm afraid they won't bother." care about you."

"It's something only you can do."

The dignitaries are too threatening to allow it.

Little people are not qualified enough, dare you? !

On the contrary, Xiao Zi, the oiran who is very popular with Orochi, happened to be stuck in the middle point and had the opportunity to make this request.

"It's been a long night, how about telling me about your parents?"

"yes!"

Xiao Zi raised her head happily, then hesitated: "But I was young at the time, and I can't remember too many things."

"It's okay, I can tell a little bit, I like listening to stories the most."

"Then... I will obey my orders."

Then Xiao Zi told a "other person's story".

In her narration, her father was a samurai, and her mother was a lady from a great family. She had an older brother who died unfortunately, and her mother was depressed because of this, and moved to live in the countryside.

Doom did not leave the family, however.

More than ten years ago, a group of bandits broke into the small town to rob. At that time, the father who returned to the countryside to accompany his mother stepped forward and repelled the bandits, but unfortunately was seriously injured and died of his injuries.

I thought the matter was over, but the bandit who escaped that day held a grudge and set fire to their house. The mother who had a chance to escape was buried in the flames in order to wake her up, but she didn't know that she secretly left that day to avenge her father in order to practice swordsmanship hard At home, hone your craft outside of town.

"so……"

Boom!

Hitting her forehead heavily on the ground, Xiao Zi said with tears streaming down her face: "I beg you to help revive my mother, even if it doesn't work, let me talk to her again and apologize."

Guilt, remorse, unwillingness, everything is reasonable.

Lovett also cooperatingly squeezed out two crocodile tears, and nodded: "What a poor man, I think Big Snake knows that you have such a tragic experience, and will not blame you."

"What does your lord mean?"

She raised her head in surprise and anticipation, the pear blossoms were raining.

"Well, I agree."

"However, according to what you said, your father was buried long ago, and your mother was also buried in the flames. I'm afraid you can't locate the blood cells."

"So, is there any substitute for the soul's sustenance?"

The answer, of course, is no.

Xiao Zi's eyes were filled with firmness: "Your Excellency once said that it is okay for the direct blood relatives within three generations to sacrifice, right?"

"..."

"If my death can be exchanged for the return of my father and my mother, I will die without regret!"

Lovett: "..."

There are too many loopholes in this statement, and he can't continue acting.

Can't help complaining: "What about your brother?"

"Eh?!"

Σ(￣□￣||)

"Also, who told you that you want to exchange one life for another?"

Lovett grinned.

Under Xiao Zi's surprised gaze, she spread her hands: "That's just an act of questioning, in fact, it only needs a little blood. Of course, bones are better."

An act of questioning?

Xiao Zi woke up suddenly.

It turns out that there are a lot of people outside who can't find flesh and blood cells and soul-searching things. They all rumor that this last method is evil and bloody, and they all think that the method of the Black Earl's resurrection is one life for another.

Not only because of Kaido's threat, but this reluctance is an important reason for retreating.

Boom!

Kowtowing again, Xiao Zi said sincerely, "Thank you very much!"

"Your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten!"

"You're welcome, this is what you bought for your courage, go back and prepare money first, but don't hold out too much hope."

Lovett laughed: "Maybe, we will resurrect something."

This is the disadvantage of the third way!

Xiaozi's heart tightened, and she nodded repeatedly: "I understand, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I can't give up."

"Well, that's the best."

Saying goodbye to Xiao Zi who was tearful and smiling, Aka offered soba noodles for supper and asked, "Will the master not leave her to sleep with?"

"With her mental state just now, as long as the master speaks, she will definitely agree."

Hurrah!

Picking up a pair of chopsticks and sucking the noodles into his mouth, Lovett wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, rolling his eyes.

"No, I'm not that heavy on taste yet."

"In front of someone else's father, having sex with his daughter."

Then he looked into the depths of the room and said, "You don't want to see that scene either, do you?"

"Master Mita!"

Behind the door, the body was translucent and shrouded in black smoke. The muscular man in a large kimono had already burst into tears, and his soul was sobbing silently. He had been confused for several days since he returned from the underworld, and today he finally regained his sanity.

Judging by his appearance, he is undoubtedly Kozuki Oden! !

"It's no wonder that the Lord of Demons and Monsters disappeared, I should have thought of it earlier."

After taking a sip of the noodle soup, Lovett said: "After the death of the fruit-capable user, the soul will drift away with the fruit factor, and there is no chance of entering the underworld."

"The natural cycle of heaven and earth is broken, and the world that accommodates the laws is not supplemented by dead souls. Under the constraints of the laws, it can indeed create his weakest period."

"But the number of capable users in Dahai is far below this standard."

Speaking of this, Lovett took a sip: "I seem to know the answer to the disappearance of ancient civilizations."

………………

There is nothing to eat today, and the same sentence, not adding more is an attitude.

I hope that the readers can understand the difficulties of the original authors.

It is better to believe in sincerity than to believe in the law, eat melons rationally, and be impartial.
