Chapter Eighty-Eight: Horus
Red Leaf Village, the largest sentang in the village, that is, the public bathhouse, has been emptied, and there is no one inside or outside the bathhouse, except for William. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sento's chimney no longer smokes outward, because the staff inside have been driven away.
Aramis, Edmund, Tony, Sherlock, these old teams that William left in Momiji Village came from afar.
"Why did William want to come here?" Aramis asked strangely, after the ship of the Morgan Pirates docked, he was ordered by William to help arrange for the reception of the pirates who got off the ship to rest, and he was busy running back and forth, and he didn't have time to talk to William more.
Sherlock loosened his tie and said in a rambling voice, "William, he's so tired that he said he wanted to relax." ”
After all, Barbarossa is a well-known sea thief in the East China Sea, or a Devil Fruit ability, and William doesn't want to attract the attention of the world government and naval forces represented by Alcatio and Roy, so the days on the ship can be said to be walking on a tightrope, and he has been cautious, although in terms of development, the plan is quite smooth, but William can be said to be under heavy pressure every day on the ship.
Since the day he boarded the ship, William's nerves have been tense, and he has not relaxed for almost a moment, and it is only now that he can let down his guard and relieve the pressure.
He instructed the cadres on the ship and the old team of Momiji Village to deal with some things to be dealt with immediately, and after a few simple words, he asked people to drive the people of this soup field away, rest alone, and only tell a group of old team members to come to him after they were busy with the matter at hand.
"Relax,......," Tony, the old driver, lengthened his tone when he heard Sherlock's words, and said with a strange smile, "Why don't you say it earlier, I can call some women." ”
Sherlock ignored him, and looked at the chimney strangely: "Everyone here has been driven away, no one boils water, how can you take a bath?" ”
Although a few people were strange, they still entered the gate, because there was no staff, they could only take the sundries from the high platform on duty, and Edmund wanted to go to the women's bathroom with curiosity on his face, but was dragged back by Sherlock.
After several people entered the locker room connected to the bathhouse, they could clearly feel the increase in temperature, Edmund quickly finished changing his clothes, wrapped a towel around his body, and opened the sliding door of the bathhouse first.
As he moved, a wave of heat rushed to his face, and the strong temperature contrast made Edmond breathe, and the bath was full of moisture, and he opened the door to let the vapor dissipate a little, so that he could see what was going on inside.
William sat in the steaming pool, with his back to the door, his hands on the edge of the pool, his head tilted back slightly, and his face covered with a white towel, as if he were asleep.
He was shirtless, revealing an eye tattoo on his back. The tattoo was made at the beginning of this year, when Wallon and Edmund were not attacked by Redbeard and others, and William was alone to find someone to tattoo.
None of the people around William knew what this tattoo meant, only William, the original creator of the pattern, knew what it meant.
The Eye of Horus, derived from Egyptian mythology, symbolizes the protection of the gods and the supremacy of the king.
The ancient Egyptians also believed that the Eye of Horus would play a role in their resurrection and rebirth, and it was also painted on the mummies of some Egyptian pharaohs.
The purpose of this tattoo is to cover the "Dragon's Hoof" brand behind William's back, and he used a larger circular brand to cover the entire Dragon's Hoof brand, acting as the circular pupil of the Eye of Horus, so the red brand and black pattern outline such a simple but strange "eye".
William himself only provided a pattern of the eyes, and the tattoo man added some artistic processing to it, drawing a slightly lighter water lily on the back of the eye, as well as eagle wings.
Most of William's back was occupied by tattoos, black patterns, red pupils, and in the mist, the eyes of Horus on his back seemed to be alive, staring directly at the person behind him.
As for the circular brand on the pupil, Ah Jin helped to brand, Ah Jin didn't know the "Heavenly Dragon's Hoof", but he understood that William didn't want others to know this secret, so he didn't tell anyone what the pattern of the cover was.
William himself didn't care about the status of a slave, even if he didn't remember "born in sorrow and died in peace", "Shun was born in the acres, Fu Shuo was lifted between the plates, Jiao was held in the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu was lifted in the scholar, Sun Shu Ao was raised in the sea, and Baili Xi was held in the city", he always remembered the famous sentence "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning".
A person like William, who has a backbone in the back of his head, doesn't care about his background at all, not to mention that the slave is strictly the original owner of this body, not him, a traverser.
It's just that William has also lived in this world for a long time, and knows that everything can't be seen from the perspective of him as a time-traveler.
The Draco people are the face and signboard of the world government, and the people of this world, even if they are pirates, are not willing to directly confront the world government, although a group of subordinates will not look down on William because of his slave status, after all, William's strength and skill will not disappear because of his slave status, and they are not convinced by William because of his identity, but this mark represents the position that William has a gap with the Draconians, which may make them worry and worry.
Therefore, even Aramis and the dead Wallon, William did not let them know about the existence of this mark, only by relying on the memory impression of his previous life, and after personal contact and observation in this life, he determined that his calm and loyal personality Ah Jin knew about the existence of this brand, and Ah Jin himself actually did not know, let alone understand the meaning of the brand itself.
Aramis and the others entered the bath one after another, and when they walked to the edge of the pool, they found that the water level inside was not high, and they could only soak up to their waists while sitting on the steps.
The grinning Edmund stretched out his legs directly into the pool, but immediately exclaimed, jumped out of it at a faster speed, and said with bared teeth: "Why is it so hot!" ”
Sherlock was even more strange: "I looked outside and found that the chimney was not smoking, and the staff were not there, who was boiling the water?" ”
"I," William ripped off the towel from his face and finally looked at the others, "my Devil Fruit abilities." ”
Several people know that the Morgan Pirates used to drive to the windless zone when they were still called the Redbeard Pirates, and they also know that William ate the Devil Fruit, but it is unclear what the specific ability is.
Aramis, with some curiosity and expectation, asked, "What kind of fruit are you eating?" ”
"Nature," William's right hand turned directly into a cloud of water vapor with his words, vaguely forming the outline of a palm, "As for what it is called, the fruit can't speak, can't tell me, how do I know?" Maybe I'll have to come up with my own name later. ”
