Chapter 335 The Wind Rises
Chapter 335 The Wind Rises
Hoo hoo...!
Robin said "I'm losing weight", which made Reg confused in the sea breeze for half a second: Is this what is called: the love of beauty regardless of age? !
Although the excuse was a bit lame, he still didn't expose it: "Oh...I see! No wonder you are so slim. ."
Robin, who was not questioned, breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject: "Green, will you... go to the library of the "Tree of Omniscient" tomorrow? "
"Well, I'll go there... I need to find some information."
Reg said casually... This is natural, because the huge collection of books here is truly the largest in the world.
Countless scholars come to O'Hara Scholars every year: they are either doing academic research, looking for books and materials, or... they are slightly interested in "history".
"See you tomorrow then...bye!"
The shame caused by lying made Robin eager to leave.
"See you tomorrow."
Reg waved his hands and watched Robin disappear into the woods... Not everyone is willing to tell others about their tragic experience. For Robin, this is probably what her little body is holding on to - — "The last dignity".
Vaguely, Reg seemed to see that scene:
The wind was beautiful and the sun was shining... The little girl who was sitting on a tree stump and reading quietly was suddenly stoned by some naughty children and even scratched her forehead.
The little girl waved her hand, petals flew, and many little hands appeared on the naughty child's head... one for each person, and a big bag for each person.
Afterwards, the child's parents scolded the little girl for "beating someone for no reason"... She just lowered her head stubbornly without any rebuttal.
It's not that she doesn't argue with reason... but she knows very well that even if she fights, the existence that she can call her family will not help her. Instead, she will get scolded and beaten.
"The cowardly uncle, the strong aunt, and the young cousin..."
Thinking of what this family had done, Reg narrowed his eyes...Robin's uncle was still somewhat humane, but he was cowardly, afraid of his wife, and had no bottom line.
As a result, Robin's status in the family fell one after another... not only did he not have new clothes to wear, he even had to share tables for meals, and he would be severely scolded for eating more jam. He also had to do the housework alone in this environment.
If it weren't for Robin's flowery and fruitful abilities, it would have been extremely difficult to accomplish all of this... Living under someone else's roof, how could she not bow down to her helplessness and precocity: it was clearly reflected in her tiny body.
Whoosh... The sea breeze that gradually increased woke up Reg from his trance of memories.
"The wind is blowing... ah."
Reg said with a wry smile... Sure enough, he really couldn't let go of the Robin three years later.
The arrival of the World Government's "Devil-Slaying Order" caused her to lose her mother, her scholar friends, her teacher "Dr. Clover", and even the residents of the small town who were usually annoying, as well as her nurturing grace. My uncle's family is not very friendly.
"You say you want to change...how exactly do you want to change?"
Reg, muttering to himself, slowly sat down and looked at the end of his sight... where the sea surface was sparkling, and the stars wafting down from the sky outlined a shining road.
"The times are also changing... If you don't want to follow the trend, the only option is to stand in this sea of stars."
A seemingly reckless and crazy plan, but a very suitable and clever plan appeared in Reg's mind... His family has a big business and many relatives and friends. Before killing Big Mom and Kaido, he had no intention of confronting the World Government. Confrontation, but that doesn’t mean others can’t.
If Long's "Revolutionary Army" can be established and exist on the day when Roger surrenders and the "Great Pirate Age" begins, then we can discuss this matter with Long.
As for what will happen after that day...how the future will change, whether the world government will launch the demon-slaying order in advance, or whether it will simply send the CP0 organization to silence the entire island, these are all unpredictable things.
"If not... I'll tell you later. I can't save anyone by myself."
Reg stood up and left without looking back... If Robin were alone, he would still be able to protect her from being discovered by the World Government... If her mother and those scholar friends were added to the mix, how difficult would it be? increase.
He is not a saint, and he cannot put the entire Kingdom of Heaven in danger of being destroyed just for Robin.
"Do your best..."
Reg's words disappeared as the waves hit the rocks... The storm was coming, so he should find a hotel to stay first, and tomorrow he would visit Dr. Clover, the librarian, as a foreign scholar.
...
...
August 8, The Tree of Omniscientity.
Crash, clatter... Thousand-year-old books moving with the wind sprinkled crystal water drops all over the sky.
The earth-shattering storm last night was just a perfect "bath" for this 4997-year-old omniscient tree whose branches soared into the sky and its leaves even blocked out the sun.
"A treehouse built directly into a tree..."
Reg, who was walking alone on the street, gradually approached this thousand-year-old tree located in the heart of the island... Those castle-like windows were set high or low in the trunk of the tree that covered the entire field of vision.
"This visitor got up a little early..."
"Such young scholars are rare..."
"Hmph...he exudes an aura of youth!"
The few scholars who had just walked out of the tree gate met Reg's eyes... They were a group of uncles and elder sisters with thick dark circles under their eyes and greasy hair.
No need to guess, I must have been "reading at night" last night, immersed in the piece of history hidden in the basement.
"Good morning, everyone... I am Green from the Grand Line. Is Dr. Clover here?"
He didn't show any emotions of disgust or disdain, and he greeted him with a "very sunny" greeting from the first few steps.
"Oh... so dazzling!"
"Ah... I'm a little jealous for no reason."
"My youth...is dedicated to the endless sea of books!"
The soliloquy of the second sense and artistic youth made Reg froze in place: Sure enough, these people are almost isolated from the world.
"Cough cough..."
Finally, an unshaven young man couldn't stand it any longer. He coughed twice and said, "Green, right? Come with me, and I'll take you to see Dr. Clover."
"Thank you... may I ask what your name is?"
"Harry... I once wanted to be a scientist, but accidentally ended up on the path of "archaeology". What about you? "
Harry's explanation and inquiry made Reg smile awkwardly: "He is a doctor... Mr. Harry had better take a serious rest, otherwise his body will be overwhelmed by staying up late too often."
"Haha...Young man, the ocean of knowledge cannot allow anyone to stop."
“You can get twice the result with half the effort if you take proper rest.”
After chatting, Reg walked inside and smelled the rich fragrance of trees, saw the ancient staircase, the elegant bookshelves surrounded by the tree walls, and the "vast knowledge" silent in the bookshelves.
For a long time, the Tree of Omniscient has carried countless offerings from all over the world: for the humans in this world, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most precious possession.
Under a virtuous cycle, scholars from all over the world regard this place as a "holy place"...Here, you can find everything in the past: even if it has been defined as "inviolable", just having research intentions will be designated as The "blank 100 years" history of capital crimes.
"Well said...young man, what do you think of books?"
Before Harry could reply, the words coming from the spiral staircase caught Reg's eyes... As the name suggests, the green beard and hair, and the "three green leaves" coiled behind his head, looked very much like a plant called "Clover" .
