12. Brilanca (2)
After entering the forest, the Dismantling Magic Mirror began to continuously transfer data outward.
"There are really a lot of rare plants."
Anne tried to turn her gaze, dismantling the magic mirror to catch the target. When the object is captured by the magic mirror, it will be automatically connected with the real magic mirror, and the relevant information will be read instantly. The moment the capture and analysis of the magic mirror is decomposed, the real magic mirror will call up the stored data, and if it is not within the scope of the data, it will not be able to display, "This has just entered the forest!" β
"This is the Forest of Elves." Luo Yan's meaning, this name is well deserved.
Anne set it up a little bit, and only alerts will be issued in certain situations.
The real magic mirror to which the [Surveyor] belongs can be called up must be the information that has been engraved inside, so Anne borrowed the study of the Lifa family before leaving.
Unexpectedly, the collection is rich!
"These are my brother's treasures!" Lifa sat tall on Bebo's neck, proudly showing these to the trio. Her brother has always been her pride, and in Lifa's eyes, there is no one better than her.
"It's amazing." Saying that, Anne glanced back at Luo, in fact, what she wanted to say was really kind~
The cabinet full of books and books and drafts that could be found everywhere in the small room, when I was in Zou, was like this in Luo's room, it looked a little messy, but it was the most suitable for my habits.
Of course, Luo understood what Anne meant, bent the corners of his mouth lightly, and picked up a book casually. Beautifully neat notes were written on sticky notes, sandwiched on each page. The overall writing is neat and clean, with only horizontal lines in key points.
"Ahh Anne glanced at it, and the habit was inextricably linked to the owner's personality, which made Anne intrigued by the owner of this room.
"Aren't you going to burn?" Law tilted his head to look at Anne, how could he be so interested in the owner of this room.
"Hmph~" The little girl blinked and began to rummage through the information she needed. Then burn it with a real magic mirror.
Luo was a little helpless about Anne's childish behavior, but he could smile from the heart. But he was also interested in the owners of these books.
Most of the books in the room are related to pharmacy, biology and botany, Luo noticed that almost every book has two kinds of handwriting, one is more old, the words are also very casual, it feels like writing with the idea of where to write, the ink used has faded a little, the notes and book cards have been turned back and forth many times, the other is relatively new, and the handwriting is much more neat, like a kind of summary and revision.
Although it is not very different from the aspects he has dabbled in, this does not prevent him from judging that the owners of these books are geniuses. And, if he didn't guess wrong......
Brushing across the title page, the curvature of the corners of Luo's lips deepens, Nigel?
Anne looked up at the illustrated book that was placed on the top of the bookshelf and was unhappy, she was so tall that she was going to put the book on top!
Luo noticed the little girl's embarrassment, and was about to raise his hand when he was interrupted.
"I can get it myself!" Anne raised her hand and floated the book directly.
As a result, the thing in the book fell out directly and smashed on the little girl's β‘head
Gauze:...... Why.
Annie: How can QAQ do that......
Bending down to pick up something that had fallen out of the book, Law opened the paper folded into a notebook.
"It's ...... Map? β
That's a pretty detailed map of the forest. Anne pouted and β_β where is this provoked, it was clearly premeditated!
Now the map was spread out in front of Anne. The map is very detailed, and it seems that the author of this map has been wandering around the forest a lot. Even the depths of the forest, which Lifa said were forbidden for adults to go, were marked in great detail.
Although the forest in Brilanca has the nickname of "Forest of Elves", it is only called by people, and the official in Brilanca has given this forest a name that covers almost half of the island - "Sunset Forest".
There are countless plants and animals that can be used in managed forests, but they are a great threat to anyone who wants to enter the forest, whether it is poisonous insects, predators, plant traps or steep forest roads.
The clumps of blue colors are intertwined, and although it is still early, the light in the forest is not bright. The lush green shades the sky.
Law brushed aside a clump of branches, noticing the marks of being trampled on. The rare and exotic plants that grow in the Sunset Forest and the plants with magical effects have not only contributed to the development of Brilanca's economy and medical medicine, but also derived another gray profession - pharmacist.
Of course, pharmacists here do not refer to those who sit in hospitals and are responsible for providing pharmaceutical knowledge and pharmaceutical services. Rather, it refers to a person who can use his knowledge and special materials to formulate a medicine with specific properties and specific effects.
Those potions with miraculous effect made by apothecaries have always been hailed as the closest miracles to magic!
There is a saying that a good doctor is not necessarily a good pharmacist, but a good pharmacist is definitely a skilled doctor.
The profession of pharmacist itself is not so annoying, but the famous pharmacists in history are all notorious, and even this profession is about to be blacklisted. There are very few that have been passed down from the truth, and even over time, people have gradually forgotten that the original pharmacists were born to help people.
According to those notes, the boy was probably a pharmacist. Coupled with the surname Nigel, one can't help but wonder what kind of person is the person who inherited this legendary profession.
"If you go from here, you should be able to see a small stream. After crossing the stream, walk northeast to reach the ruins. Anne studied the map in her hand, but the road to the heart of the forest was not easy.
Although this is not a big problem for Anne and Law, after training in the whale forest in Zou for so long, they have long been used to the action in the forest. But I don't know what I'll encounter in this forest.
Anne looked around, the tall trees were luxuriant, the sky light shone through the layers of leaves, and when she looked up, she seemed to be shrouded in a faint layer of mist, and the light was not bright, and it looked deep and terrifying.
"Let's go, let's see." Snapping off a branch fork and walking a passing small snake, Luo walked deeper into the forest.
You can fly all the way there, but I don't know what you'll encounter on the other side of the ruins. For this reason, Anne also deliberately changed to a pair of shoes that are convenient for mobility. The single use of the Noble Phantasm is almost non-consumable for Anne, and the consumption of opening two pieces at the same time is not large, but if it is more than two, it will become exhausting, after all, each Treasure Phantasm needs Anne to control it.
The two of them walked for more than an hour, and Anne and Law saw the creek marked on the map. Further on the map are the "no-go zones", which means that there are few people in the area, and there are almost no good roads to follow.
After crossing the stream, the path in the forest suddenly became more difficult to walk. On the other hand, it has become much quieter, and the deeper you go, the quieter you go, the quieter the sound of insects and birds chirping.
βοΌβ
Something was following them, and Anne subconsciously looked at the source of the sound. It was a python the size of a bucket, and by the cover of the trees, it was not far away near them.
"Leave it alone." Law stopped Anne's raised hand, "It will lead us to the person we are looking for." β
Anne was stunned for a moment, it? Speaking of which, it's strange why this snake didn't attack after following them for so long.
"It's not that it doesn't attack, it's that it doesn't dare." Rowe saw Anne's confusion, "You look around, you should be able to find it, bloodstains." β
"Blood?" The disintegration mirror floating on the side quickly adjusted and searched.
There is a very old school of pharmacists, who concentrate on the development of potions, the medicine accumulates little by little in their bodies, and the power accumulated in the blood grows stronger from generation to generation, and then passed on to the next generation. The older the inheritance, the stronger the power.
These people are called pharmacists, and their blood is medicine.
"Ah, there really is." The surveyor quickly searched for bloodstains, and looked all the way, and a path spread through the forest, so that the person could be found by following these road signs, Anne looked at the black-haired boy with an interesting smile, so she didn't chase away the snake, in order to find these coordinates.
But if the medicine master wants to use the power of the medicine, he must use blood. Blood does not last long, especially in a humid place like the forest, even if the power of the medicine makes those things afraid, but as time passes, the power of the medicine will gradually be diluted by the moisture, and those creatures who disperse because of fear will also know that the owner of the medicine is not here.
Lightly drawing the knife to unload the python that pounced on him, Luo estimated the time and then identified the time according to some traces of the branches being trampled, "The traces are still very new, even if they left, it didn't take more than half a day." Let's go. β
"Why," Anne followed behind Luo, a little curious, "does Law know about the pharmacist?" β
The young man in the spotted hat lowered his eyes slightly, and at that time, for his perpetic disease, Mr. Corazon had taken him to visit almost all the famous doctors, but whenever there was a glimmer of hope, he did not hesitate to pursue the past.
They also searched a lot of information, visited many people, and learned about the pharmacist's storage zΓ i by chance, but unfortunately they were not able to find the legendary pharmacist.
"It's nothing, I just learned about it by accident." Luo told the little girl about another thing: "It is said that there are two well-known pharmacists today. One of them has been in a state of whereabouts since destroying the island where MiΓ¨'s hometown is located, and the other is the former One Piece King Gor. D. Roger's crew, come, interestingly, that man, also surnamed Nigel. Nigel Gabriener. β
"Nigel!" Anne looked at the map in her hand, and there was an inconspicuous signature in the lower right corner of the map.
Nigel Noster-
+-+-+-+-+-+-
Even if you just came in, if you want to go there, you still have to make some preparations. The brown-haired boy held an umbrella and looked up at the sky, ah, it looked like he couldn't make it to dinner today.
Well? Someone's coming? Nost half-looked back at where he had come from, two of them? It's not like the townspeople, those guys don't go deep into this kind of place to find him. Adventurers? Not quite like that...... This direction......
The young man's brown eyes narrowed, did he chase him? Who the hell is it? And for what?
Luo and Anne walked all the way to the northeast.
"It's getting quieter."
Girl? Seeing the black-haired boy and the blonde girl who appeared in the field of vision, Nost was slightly stunned when he was hiding behind the tree, and he didn't expect such two people to appear at all.
"Probably because the owner of the [medicine] is near here."
γMedicineγ! A hint of ruthlessness suddenly crossed Noster's eyes, this person!
"Ahh Anne looked at a thin thread under her feet that had been broken by herself. The sound of the loot breaking through the air came instantly.
Throwing his hand and shooting down the Hidden Arrow with a scalpel, Luo glanced at the figure hidden behind the tree and raised his hand, "ROOM!" β
The pale blue light curtain opened almost at the same time as the black umbrella in the boy's hand. The silver needles burst open and fell like a drizzle, and the blue luster, being hit is definitely not as simple as being pricked by a needle.
But in the next second, the place where Luo and Anne were had turned into two dead branches.
Anne's eyes were slightly closed, and the light and shadow in her crimson eyes were fleeting.
"What!" By the time Nost saw it, Anne was already holding his shoulders, and the whole person fell behind him with a sharp flip in the air.
Tut. Nost drew his rapier from the handle of the umbrella and held it against the falling dagger.
"[Thunder Chasing Teeth]"
The short sword in Anne's hand slashed through a blue light and suddenly exploded.
Oops! Nost didn't expect that this little girl still had the ability to manipulate thunder and lightning, and although she staggered in time, the hand holding the sword still lost consciousness for a moment.
Anne watched as Noster staggered the little iron ball that was thrown in front of her in an instant.
This smell, gunpowder?!
With the sound of explosions, Anne's wolf flight stabilized her figure in midair, and the faint red curtain that was wrapped around her faded.
"It's too much, you! Are you trying to kill me?! β
"Didn't you track me down first?" Besides, it's obviously him who is being threatened by his life now, okay? Nost squinted at the black-haired boy who was holding a knife to his neck at his side, "Who the hell are you?" β
Nost didn't care about the sword around his neck, there was no killing intent on this sword, Noster's gaze slowly moved to the black-haired boy wearing a spotted hat, his sixth sense told him that the real danger came from the person in front of him.
Nost looked at the blonde girl with a single ponytail floating in the air flying deftly, and the dark-haired boy with an unseasoned spotted velvet hat frowned slightly, and there was no panic at all to be defeated.
"Nigel Noster." Luo hooked the corners of his mouth, put away the sword casually, accurately called the young man's name, and bent down to pick up the scalpel that had fallen to the side.
The brown-haired boy was seventeen or eighteen years old, and his facial features were the usual depth of the Brilanca people. The smoky blue tattoo spread from the hands to the back of the ears and jaw.
Devil Fruit Abilities? Noster, who was called out by his full name, calmed down, felt the unconscious hand gradually regain consciousness, shook it gently, and slowly put away the sword in the umbrella. He had never seen these two men before, and most of them were from outside the island. But why do they know who he is? Can you find it here again? He had a lot of questions, but he didn't open his mouth to reveal that he didn't have enough confidence.
Rushing to this calmness, Rowe gave Nost a much higher impression score.
"You don't look like someone who would venture into dangerous places when provoked." Anne tilted her head and smiled, turned around and floated to Luo's side and stood still, "Your family is worried about you." β
Family? Erna and Lifa! Nost was taken aback, could it be ......
"Don't put on such a terrible face, we just came to you at their request." Anne looked at Nost with an expression of ignorance of good people.
Not like lying, Nost struggled a little and chose to ask another question, "When did you know I was here?" β
"At first."
"......" What a straightforward girl! It's a shame that he did the concealment work so carefully, and he also created the illusion that he had left.
"The traces are very good, but β‘β‘ quiet here." Luo put the scalpel away, and then held out his hand to Noster, "Nigel, pharmacist." β
"It's okay with those, it's just that I can hear you."
Don't understand what you're talking about. Nost rolled his eyes at the sky and let go of the hand that grabbed the Hidden Arrow behind him, and instead grabbed Luo's hand and stood up, can he still have some hole cards.
"Who are you?" Nost stood up and turned to pick up his umbrella, and simply recovered.
"Annistora." The little girl smiled and pointed at herself.
"Trafalgar Rowe." Luo withdrew his hand and curled the corners of his mouth, "It's a pirate." β
"Uh-huh~"
"Pirates?" Nost grabbed the umbrella and looked at the two people in front of him in disbelief, why could these two people say such terrible words so calmly. After a brief moment of surprise, Nost remembered something, and the hand holding the umbrella clenched again, "How do you know that I am a pharmacist?" Neither Lifa nor her mother knew about it. β
"It's your blood." Luo looked at Noster, the wounds left by the brief confrontation with him had all healed, it was really amazing, the medicine man.
In the past history, there were many amazing and brilliant madmen among the pharmacists, who slaughtered cities and destroyed the country, and became notorious. As a result, it has also led to the erasure of pharmacists. The surviving pharmacists had to remain incognito and gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
"The creatures of the forest are afraid of your blood." Anne opened her hand, and the place where Noster was located was much quieter than the rest of the place, which was even more like an amplification for Anne with the [Ten Thousand Voices]: "You put blood on the trunk of the tree to drive away troublesome creatures, but thanks to this, we also had a smooth journey along the way." β
It turned out to be this reason. Nost pursed his lips, "What about you?" Devil Fruit Abilities? β
