Chapter 11: The Divided Kingdom of Arosso

The cavalry captain laughed even more: "Not bad! This is the legendary Plague Island! You two damn little imps are so daring to trespass in, and now no one can save your lives! Hahahaha! ”

Lorna's face was red and white, but she snorted coldly: "Do you think we will be afraid of your intimidation?" I don't have long to live, even if there is a plague, it will only be two years early, what is there to be afraid of! ”

Ignoring the boy's obstruction, she reached out and helped him up, and the boy was surprised and frightened, and danced wildly, trying to get rid of Rhona's arm, but unfortunately he was seriously injured and weak, and he was never able to break free.

When Rogge saw it, he sighed helplessly, but said to Lorna: "You help him to leave quickly, and I will deal with it here." ”

"Good!"

Lorna didn't argue, and took the boy in her arms and headed for the return, and when several horsemen saw this, they immediately rushed up at the two of them with their swords, screaming and screaming.

"Origami Mask!"

Rona scolded lightly, stretched out her right arm, and suddenly conjured up pieces of paper with a popping sound from between her fingers, and then turned into masks made of paper, like butterflies in the sky, and flew towards those cavalrymen.

One by one, the origami masks flew by, snapping and clinging to the heads and faces of the horses, and suddenly the entire cavalry squad turned into an acrobatic troupe with a strange image......

"Ahh What is it! Can't see it anymore! ”

"My eyes! How dark it is! ”

"Little ...... Be careful! Lerma! ”

However, it was too late, and the cavalry and horses, who had lost their sight, suddenly scurried around in a panic, and kept bumping into the bushes and bushes in the forest, and one by one fell off their horses, and fell on their backs.

"Well done, Rhona!" Rogge couldn't help but admire.

"What? What's going on with that girl, the body turned into paper! ”

The captain opposite Rogge was startled, and his whole face turned pale.

The young man who was caught in Rona's arm was also startled, he was already seriously injured, and he fainted directly this time, Rona was so happy that he stopped struggling, and when he saw that there was no one to stop him, he immediately accelerated and went in the direction he came.

"Do you have time to look around?"

Rogge smiled at the stunned captain, and before he could finish speaking, his body had already risen into the air and punched out.

It is the fastest and most ruthless move that is used, called Tianchong!

"Huh?!"

The captain was busy subconsciously blocking with an iron fist, but it was too late, and he was knocked back quickly by Rogge's punch, and his whole body suddenly hit a big tree.

There was a hula sound, and the big tree was staggered, and the fallen leaves of the tree were scattered to the ground.

The captain slumped to the ground, fainting.

Rog glanced at him, shook his fist, and slid through the staggering horsemen and horses, and soon followed Rhona, taking the young man from her hand, saddling it on his back, and heading in the direction of the Coconut Anchorage.

When they arrived on the island, the brother and sister briefly tended to the boy's wounds, but fortunately he had suffered from the captain's punches and kicks, and although they seemed painful, they were not fatal.

At this moment, it was gradually night, and everything was silent, and the two looked at the black and scarred faces of the young man, worried.

It was nearly midnight when the boy finally woke up.

He coughed, opened his eyes, and gasped, apparently in pain from the place where the captain had been beaten.

But when he looked around, he saw that something was wrong, and when he saw the two of them again, he immediately screamed and ran towards the corner of the cabin, covering his face in a hurry, panicking.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt your ......" Rona was slightly stunned, then said with a smile.

The boy waved his hands violently: "No, it's not...... You guys...... I...... You're going to be infected by me...... Quick, get away from me! ”

"It's not that serious, is it?" Rogge laughed.

"You don't ...... Don't understand...... This is the black blood plague...... Just get in touch with me...... Within a few minutes, you'll be infected, and you'll be like me! The boy was still terrified.

Rhona and Rogge looked at each other and said with a smile: "That's right, the two of us have taken care of you for half the night, if the plague is really as bad as you say, we would have been infected a long time ago......"

The young man's eyes widened, and he gradually lowered the hands covering his face, and muttered strangely, "Yes...... Oh, yes...... How could it be...... You, how could you be okay......"

Rogge opened the five fingers of his right hand, and with a slight thought, a branch came out of his palm, and he smiled: "Maybe it's because neither of us is pure human......

"That's right......" Rhona also stretched out her arm, and pieces of paper flew out of her body gently.

"Ah, you two...... What's going on? The boy remembered the scene he had seen before he fainted, and he was startled again.

Rogge smiled: "The two of us are devil fruit powers, I am a wooden person who eats the wood fruit of the wood tree, and Lorna is an origami person who eats the paper fruit of the paper fruit, so no matter how bad your plague is, it will not be able to infect us." ”

"Devil fruits? What is that? The boy looked at the two curiously.

"Don't you even know about Devil Fruits? Looks like this place has been closed off for a long time......" Rhona said.

"Well, this ...... has been isolated from the rest of the world for hundreds of years," the boy nodded.

Rogge smiled: "By the way, the cavalry captain just now called you Lars, that's your name, right?" ”

The boy nodded: "My name is Lars Young, you two, it's Rogge and Lorna, right?" ”

Rhona stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Mmmm, you have a good memory......"

Lars' face flushed when he saw her approaching, and he took a step back with a wince.

"I'm not afraid of you, are you afraid of me?" Seeing that he was shy, Rhona was even more happy, and stepped forward step by step, forcing Lars back into the corner.

"Rona, don't tease him......" Rogge smiled helplessly.

"He's so interesting, obviously a year or two older than Rogge, I didn't expect to be so shy." Rona let him go and walked back from the corner.

Lars breathed a sigh of relief, but his flushed face hadn't yet returned to its original state.

"Lars, what's going on on your island?" Rogge asked.

Lars sighed, shook his head, and began to speak.

"Our name here is the Kingdom of Aroso, it is said that since hundreds of years ago, there was a sudden outbreak of a death plague, the world government once sent a task force to rescue, but several groups in a row were all wiped out, and none of them returned alive, so this place was divided into a forbidden place by the world government, and no communication with the outside world was allowed to ...... again."

Lorna sighed, "No wonder there is even a detour marked here, because I am afraid that this plague will spread." ”

Lars nodded: "This place has been isolated from the world for hundreds of years, and outsiders are not allowed to break in, and our people also know that everyone is born with a plague, and they dare not leave the island to go to the outside world, so they have been closed ......"

"You say everyone has a plague, but those cavalrymen can't see it?" Rhona asked curiously.

Lars's anger swelled up and he clenched his fists.

"That's General Mator's guard! Of course they are not afraid of the plague! ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Lars said: "The current island of Alroso is divided into two forces, one is General Massol and his cronies who live in the castle, and the other is our Arosso people who still live in the primeval jungle! Originally, everyone on the island was infected with the black blood plague, but, but...... In General Mator's castle, there is a spring that cures this plague! ”

The two Rogers were taken aback: "Since there is a spring that can cure the plague, why hasn't the plague here been eliminated?" ”

"Because...... General Mator, only those who are completely loyal to him will be given! And our people, oppressed and exploited by him, will not be loyal to him, and he will not really believe in us and give us spring water! ”

"If that's the case, then ...... Shouldn't you have been extinct long ago? Rhona asked, a little apprehensive.

Lars let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, our priest is a skilled doctor, and he is constantly researching the cure for this plague, although ...... Although it does not heal us, it can eliminate a lot of pain and relieve the symptoms. ”

"My symptoms are not obvious now, my sister ......"

"Oops! My sister! ”

The two Rogers were startled by his exclamation and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"That'...... When those people saw that I was rescued by you, they would definitely arrest my sister and ask me for my guilt! No, no, I have to save her! ”

With that, he was about to struggle to walk out.

Rogge hurriedly stopped him and smiled firmly: "Don't worry, we will go with you, your sister will definitely be fine!" ”

"You ......"

Lorna patted him on the shoulder: "Leave it to the two of us with confidence!" ”

Lars was grateful, but when he saw Rhona approaching him, he couldn't help but blush and quietly retreated.

Knowing that Lars was worried, the two Rogers immediately set off with him, following in the direction he had pointed out, towards the station where their people lived.

The primeval forest in the dark night was terrifying, the wolf howls were incessant, the darkness was deep, and the road was full of forks, but Lars knew it very well, and there was no sign of getting lost.

"You're amazing...... Rhona said admiringly.

"You are the best, I saw you before, and you can find the right direction of our people by touching the trunk...... If you hadn't been going in the direction of our people, I wouldn't have shown up to stop you! Lars shook his head.

Rogge laughed, "I see. ”

"Generally, not to mention outsiders, even the natives of the island, it is difficult not to get lost in this jungle, let alone at night...... However, I'm a hunter of the clan, so I'm familiar with the jungle. Later, he seemed a little embarrassed, blushed slightly, and stopped talking.

Rogge was very curious: "I see, no wonder your arrows shoot so well!" I've never seen such a great archery......"

Lars blushed even more and smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, I am the deputy head of the hunter group in the clan, except for Uncle Buck, no one is better at hunting than me...... But he's experienced, and I'm a little better at archery. ”

"Awesome!" Rhona gave a thumbs up.

"It's here...... That's where our people stand......" Lars pointed to the clearing in front of him, and suddenly noticed something, and exclaimed, "Oh no! It's Matol's guards, and they've come to arrest them! ”
