CH.70 Tree Man
Lawrence panicked when he saw the muzzle of the gun, he was so angry that he didn't dare to speak, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and his face turned pale.
". Don't let me see you again. Donk said in a deep voice, he was extremely unhappy with Lawrence's face, and he didn't want to look at it again.
Lawrence retreated out of the house in a hurry, and although he did not dare to speak, his eyes were full of resentment, like the eyes of a poisonous snake.
Although Elizabeth hated Lawrence, her father in prison was her weakness, and she feared that Lawrence would seek revenge afterwards.
"Uncle Lawrence, you're mistaken, it's actually just a joke!" Elizabeth tried to explain, running to stop Lawrence.
Tonk grabbed Elizabeth's wrist and clamped it hard, still with a vicious expression on his face, and pressed Lawrence at gunpoint.
"Donk, let me go!" Elizabeth was panting in a hurry, breaking free from her iron hoop-like hand, and she was so anxious that she hammered Donk in the chest a few times, and felt that it was not enjoyable, and kicked her feet painlessly.
Lawrence saw this scene in his eyes, and felt like a young couple fighting, and his heart was even more angry, and he left here with the servant who came.
Seeing that the nuisance was gone, Donk whistled, centered on his index finger, and made the pistol fly around a few times.
Elizabeth was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and wanted to go up and bite Donk, and she said angrily: "If you offend someone like him, my father will suffer in prison, and he may have someone punish my father, you are really angry with me!" ”
Donk touched his chin and said, "Why don't I kill him and save him from stumbling behind his back?" ”
Elizabeth was so conflicted that she knocked off Donk's hand and rubbed her aching wrist. She thought it was a big deal, but having Donk here would only make things worse. She sighed, "Forget it, you can go quickly." Maybe he'll bring someone from the vigilantes in a moment, and that's bad. ”
"It doesn't matter if I leave, do you have any way to protect yourself?" Donk asked with a frown.
"Lawrence doesn't dare to do anything to me, if I tear my face with him and publicize some of his scandals, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Port Sasot." Elizabeth glanced at Donk, "But you're different, he'll deal with you without any scruples." ”
Tang Ke's eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice: "If he is so troublesome, the surname Suo will be happy." After he finished speaking, he straightened his clothes, went back to the study, grabbed his coat, and hurried out of here.
Elizabeth was distraught and did not stop her.
When the outsiders were gone, the old maid said earnestly, "Miss, this man named Tangke doesn't seem to be a good thing, don't mess with him." It would be very sad if I let the master know. ”
Elizabeth felt a little headache, rubbed her eyebrows, and didn't even have the heart to explain.
After Tonk left Elizabeth's house, he inquired about Lawrence's whereabouts, but the old rascal had left in a carriage and could no longer catch up, so he had to dismiss the idea of murder.
But that's not going to be the end of the story.
Lawrence later sent people everywhere to look for Donk, but the port of Sasot was so extensive and densely populated that the vigilantes searched for several days but found nothing. Lawrence and Donk have only met once, and they can't remember their exact appearances, otherwise they would have issued a wanted warrant for arrest.
Lawrence was angry, and wanted to use a large number of manpower to turn Donk out, but he was entangled in official business, and recently received an order to rhyme a group of prisoners to other ports, and it was to be transported by sea, so he was so busy that he had to give up.
As for Donk, he was also looking around for news of Lawrence, and sent some idle pirates, and finally learned that Lawrence was going to sea. If it weren't for the fact that the ship carrying the prisoner had no oil and water, he would have really wanted to clean up this Lawrence at sea.
Time flies, Donk has been in Sasot Harbor for two weeks, he can't wait, and the more than three hundred pirates are also a little disheartened. His next stop had already been determined to be to find the Sky, and he was just translating a few words from the treasure map, and he couldn't delay it because of that.
Donk once again used the way of a hooligan, determined not to wait stupidly, but to use forceful means to force Dazi to translate the above words. He told One-Eye about this, and told One-Eye to take it in case of unforeseen danger.
Taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind, Tang Ke touched Daqi's mansion, looked around and left and right and no one noticed, climbed over the wall and entered, and landed on the grass. One-Eyed was guarding the outside with more than twenty pirates, so that if something happened, he could be a good answer.
Donk hid in the shadows behind the wall, observing the situation in the courtyard, and there was silence all around, except for the rustling sound of speech. The lights in the small white building in front of you are on, and you can see people walking back and forth.
He pressed against the base of the wall and trotted forward, trying to rush to the backyard with all his might. The main entrance of the small white building was opened, and the light from the room shone out. He hurriedly hid behind the flower bed, for fear of being discovered.
A middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper walked out of the room, and turned around in a hurry.
Tang Ke pressed his face to the ground and saw a pair of feet getting closer and closer, and first used an investigation technique to learn that the other party was an ordinary person. He took the opportunity to fly out, covered the butler's mouth, and dragged him behind the tree. He took out a dagger, put it against the butler's delicate neck, and asked viciously, "Don't have an accident, or I will kill you." ”
The butler looked at Donk in horror, and sure enough, he didn't say anything and didn't struggle.
"Very well, I ask you, where does Dazi live?"
The butler pointed to a three-story building farther away, where there were probably quite a few rooms.
Tang Ke asked several questions in a row, including whether there were any strong people here, and the specific room of Dazi. After getting a satisfactory answer, Tang Ke slashed at the back of the neck with a palm, and the butler rolled his eyes and fainted.
He left the butler behind a tree, went straight to the small building where Daqi was, and under the cover of night, he successfully reached the downstairs. He saw that the window was open, turned over and jumped in, but he couldn't see his fingers inside, and he didn't even have a lamp lit.
According to the butler, he found the room where Dazi was. He stood still in front of the door and smelled a smell of decay, a smell that had precipitated after thousands of years. He unscrewed the ornate metal doorknob and pushed it open very slowly, very slowly, but the door still made a screeching sound that was exceptionally clear in the night.
He dodged into the room, and was greeted by rows of bookshelves, in the middle of the room was the skeleton of a small sea beast, and in the window there were a few strange plants, the room was more messy than he had imagined.
"Whew, Whew, Whew......"
There was a heavy snoring sound.
Tang Ke followed the sound and walked through the rows of bookshelves, and saw a person lying on the table in the corner of the room.
The sight of the room was dim, and in addition to the moonlight, there was a glass lamp with a seat on the table that emitted a faint light.
Instead of acting rashly, Donk used the investigative technique first.
Name: Dazi.
Class: Omniscient (Tier 6)
Knowledge: ★★★★★★★★☆
Affiliations: Treant Alliance, Greenland Empire.
Bounty amount: 0 gold.
Tang Ke was taken aback by the sixth order at first, but when he saw that this profession only had a value of knowledge, he calmed down.
"You've stepped on my roots." The man lying on his stomach woke up and said in an old, distant voice, "Child, you shouldn't offend an elder like this. ”
Tang Ke became alert, and was about to draw his sword to face each other, when a rattan whip came over under his feet, he exclaimed, he couldn't react, and was thrown to the ground. He felt a burning pain in his shoulder, and a carp stiffened, bounced off the ground, and drew his sword.
Dazi stood up, turned around, and picked up the glass lamp, revealing the whole picture in the light of the light.
The all-knowing man was slender and resembling a dead tree in clothes, with a few leaves on his head with vertical branches, scars like wrinkles, and a pair of wise eyes lurking in them.
Donk gasped, this Dazi is a tree man!
The human race is a hard-working race in this world, with a lifespan of only 100 years, which is shorter than many races. Dwarves can live to be 400 years old, purebred ancient elves can live to be 600 years old, and tree people are old birthday stars, who can live to be thousands of years old!
Although the Treants have lived a long life, they have fallen into the West Mountain and are facing extinction, and only a few Treants are still surviving. This race is extremely knowledgeable because of its long life, which is why Dazi is called the All-Knowing.
It is worth mentioning that the longer the lifespan of the race, the lower the reproductive ability, perhaps this is an arrangement in the dark. Although the human race has a short lifespan, it has a good ability to reproduce, and the total population is increasing, and it now occupies two-thirds of the world.
Tang Ke still trusts the data of the Pirate King system, and since the other party is not a combat class, he should not be afraid.
"That was to punish you for your disrespect to me, please don't be reckless, put away your weapons quickly." The tree man commanded, and the roots of the trees under his feet swam slowly, like poisonous snakes.
Donk's purpose here was not to fight, let alone to bully the bad old man, he kept his guard and slowly inserted his sword into the sheath.
"Say it! Child, what are you here for? Is it a lack of money? Or is there something else going on? Dazi asked in a flurry of questions.
"We could have met this way without this, but your shelves are so big that I've been waiting for you for two weeks, but you still won't see me." Donk grumbled.
"It turns out that you are the one who made an appointment with me, but I can't wait, young man, it's not good to be too impatient, you will miss the beautiful scenery in the hurried years because of this."
"Stop talking about the cool air, Mr. Big Tree." "I hope you won't let me come for nothing this time, and if you meet my needs, you can continue to sleep on your desk." ”
The Treant gave Donk a deep look, then said, "Get the things out." ”
Donk pulled out the Sky's treasure map and threw it to the Treant. One of the branches of the Treant is nimbly wrapped around the treasure map, nimble and accurate.
