Chapter 333: Sword Emperor: Shiva Heruburne
"Bode, have you really thought it through?" Even Will, when he mentioned the lawless land, a chill welled up in his heart, if he could, he didn't want the three of Bode to go to that kind of place, but he also knew that with their potential, if they were somewhere else, they would only waste three years!
"Of course, don't worry, Captain Will!" Zoan said with a grin, "Even in the Outlaws, we will never disgrace the Dragontooth Pirates!"
It's not that I'm afraid that you will lose face, but I'm afraid that you will lose your lives! Will and the others touched their foreheads with their hands at the same time, and finally after some discussion, they agreed with their statement, but they also deliberately emphasized that if the chaos in the lawless land is beyond the original imagination, then immediately terminate this operation and return to Rainbow Island, Bode and the others agreed, but they don't know what they think in their hearts.
Having no potential to become a professional, Akidena was left on the island by Genevia to study medicine on her own.
After everything was discussed, Will distributed the teleportation wrist wheels one by one, and the surplus was handed over to Rock Khan, and finally decided to meet on Rainbow Island half a year before Sorgeth returned. Interestingly, they had finished their discussions, and Sojes had just landed on the island of Blackwood.
"Captain Spear, thank you for your help this time!" Thorjes thanked Spear, who waved his hand indifferently, "No! ”
Of course, Sojes didn't believe this set of rhetoric, but he didn't break it, exchanged a few words, and the two of them said goodbye.
Black Forest Island, just like its name, the island is full of black pine trees, although there is no dark element here, but because of the black pine forest, the environment on the island is still very oppressive, even Sojes can't help but shiver when he sees this island on the boat.
This island is located in the Sea of Sin, but the location is very remote, and the area is too small, even if many pirate ships sail to the pirate city from all directions, few people will find this island, even if someone can happen to find it, and finally after landing on the island, it will be destroyed by the Sword Emperor, and over time, this island will become more and more unknown to outsiders, and the reason why the Sword Emperor is not famous among the general population is also inseparable.
Walking on the island, Sojes was in good spirits, not only the color of the leaves of the black pine was a little depressing, but the shape of the crown was also very different from that of ordinary pine trees, and I don't know what the climate was, its crown was strangely shaped, and because it was too luxuriant, Sojes had the illusion that he was in danger when walking in the forest.
In fact, it's not entirely an illusion, in addition to these weird black pines on the island, there are also a lot of monsters living on the island, some of these monsters feed on the leaves of the black pines, and some belong to hunters, but whether it is a plant-eating monster or a carnivorous monster, they all have a common characteristic, that is, they are all black! Because of the environment here, they have evolved in this direction in order to survive, and their actions rarely make a sound, which has brought a greater crisis to the island.
"This Sword Emperor's preferences are really special, he can actually survive in such a strange place!" "Sojes is powerless to complain about the preferences of these big people, the demonic beasts on the island are not particularly strong, but their sneak attacks are annoying, no matter how careful Sojes is, there will always be those predators who are integrated with the surrounding environment to sneak attack, if he doesn't react fast enough, it is not even impossible to capsize in the gutter here.
After walking for about an hour, Sojes had six or seven wounds on his body, fortunately these predators were not poisonous, otherwise now Sojes would not be able to meet the Sword Emperor in person, just saving his life would be a big trouble!
However, it was not without good news after walking for so long, at least a few minutes ago, the metal box that Sojes was carrying in his arms suddenly reacted, which also shocked his spirits, and he knew that this should be very close to the destination.
After walking for about half an hour, the black pine trees gradually thinned out, and the demonic beasts that came to sneak attack him became fewer and fewer, and the metal box also bloomed with more and more intense light.
"It's almost there!" Sojers was glad in his heart, if he could, he didn't want to stay in such a place for too long, but he ignored a question at this time, since he was just going to deliver the letter, how could he go back when the letter was delivered?
For the first time in his life, he didn't think about the way back, and after ten minutes, Sojes finally found an open space with an area of about five or six hundred square meters, and in the center of the open space were two small wooden houses that were a little crooked, not that the wooden houses would give people the feeling that they were about to collapse, but that they were built in a somewhat distorted way, and they looked very incongruous.
But at this time, Sojes did not have time to look at the two irregularly shaped wooden houses, and in front of the wooden houses, a man in a black power suit was sitting on the ground in a daze.
That's right, it's in a daze!
When I first met Lloyd, the latter was meditating, but this time I saw the Sword Emperor for the first time, and this Sword Emperor was actually in a daze here......
is also the pinnacle of swordsmen, why is the gap so big......
"Oh, there's a guest coming!" "Sojes couldn't approach quietly like a demonic beast in the forest, and accidentally stepped on the dead branches on the ground while walking, even if it was only a very slight sound, but this sound was tantamount to ringing a bell for a ninth-order powerhouse like the Sword Emperor.
"Sorgeth V. Brustein, I came to deliver a letter on the orders of Lord Lloyd, and I have met Lord Sword Emperor!" Even if he felt that there was a big gap between the Sword Emperor in front of him and Lloyd in some way, Sojes still did not break the courtesy, and stepped forward to respectfully present the metal box with both hands.
"Heh, Lord Sword Emperor, I didn't expect you to call me that, Jack!" Shiva's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness, as well as a hint of nostalgia and a little complication.
"Jack?" Sojes was stunned, this title has always been used on him by people close to him, how did the Sword Emperor know?
However, why does this Sword Emperor look familiar?
"Don't you recognize me yet?" Shiva scoffed, took the metal box and tossed it aside, just sitting on the ground and looking at him with his arms folded.
Hearing him say this, Sojes also felt that he was more familiar, but he filtered all the faces in his memory, and never found anyone who could match the Sword Emperor.
Seeing that Sojes really couldn't remember, Shiva didn't force him anymore, and looked at Sojes with a look that looked at his juniors, "It's not strange if you can't remember, the last time I saw you, you were just a child, and at that time, my hair was not the same color as it is now." ”
Hair?
A face flashed through Sojes' mind, his eyes widened, and he stammered, "You, are you...... Big Brother Heruburn?"
"Oh, it's okay, you haven't forgotten me, but I seem to have told you a long time ago, my full name is Shiva Herubourn, why do you always remember longer surnames, but you can't remember my name?" Shiva looked at Sojes angrily and funny, this is indeed quite strange, with the heart of a child, in many cases he will only habitually remember simpler things, but Sojes likes to call him Heluburne since he was a child, no matter how he teaches him, he will not change his words.
Hearing Shiva's admission, some of the mysteries that had always plagued Sojes before were also solved, no wonder, every time Shiva appeared as the Sword Emperor, he stood in the lineup of the French Empire, no wonder, he was named by the Soul Assassin Pirate Group, but he still did not hesitate to join forces with Bagas to fight against the unfathomable strength of Trorod.
The reason is that Shiva himself has another identity, he is not only from the French Empire, but also one of Bagas's most valued students, and Alice's fiancé!
"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry for what happened back then......"
recognized Shiva's identity, Sojes's face also showed undisguised guilt, if it wasn't for the fact that he was clamoring to follow Alice to the sea, maybe the strength of the latter might not have died under the siege of the Fiana Empire, and the reason why Shiva left the French Empire back then was actually because he was angry with Sogers, who was not inferior to Alice in the realm back then, after learning that Sogers had returned safely but his fiancée was tragically killed, he was angry and even wanted to kill Sogers on the spot, but out of not wanting his fiancée's death to become worthless, he finally gave up the idea of killing Sojesg on the spot, but, after that timeAfter all, he and the Brustein family still had a rift, and the French Empire, which had extremely great potential, finally stopped its rapid development because of Alice's death and Shiva's anger.
"This seems to be the first time your kid has called me brother-in-law!" Shiva smiled bitterly, he was still young at the time, and his personality was more impulsive, so he made this ridiculous move, and after his strength improved, his mentality also changed a lot, and the resentment against Sojes slowly dissipated, replaced by guilt for the Brustein family.
According to Alice's original idea, she wanted to give up her position in the navy after getting married, and Khiva herself would take her place to protect the family and the French Empire, but after Alice died in battle, he left the Brustein family at this most critical time......
It is precisely because of this kind of guilt and the complicated feelings for the Brustein family that in the early days of the tsunami, Khiva frequently went to trouble those countries that were hostile to the Franks, because he always liked to leave no room for anything and the destructive power was too strong, and many empires were frightened by his actions without warning, and invisibly relaxed their energy for the Frankish Empire, which also made the Frankish Empire avoid a lot of battles.
"I'm sorry, I was ignorant back then, that's why the eldest sister ......" Sojes wanted to admit his mistake, but he didn't want to be stopped by Shiva.
"I don't blame you for what happened back then, because if it wasn't Alice who was there, but me, I'm afraid I would have made the same choice!" Shiva closed his eyes, and at the mention of his deceased wife's name, his heart would ache like a knife, and now there are only two motives to support his life, one is revenge! The other is to follow the wishes of his deceased wife after revenge and swear to protect the Brustein family to the death.
The two relatives, who had been separated for many years, were quiet at the same time, perhaps remembering the deceased Alice, or reminding themselves not to forget the idea of revenge.
After a long time, Shiva broke the silence: "By the way, what are you doing here this time?" "Uh? You don't know?" Sogers' eyes widened, he was thinking that Lloyd's message to him should be a reply to him about something, why didn't Shiva himself know?
"How do I know, since the last time I fought with Lloyd, there has been no contact, in the past, either I went to the pirate city to fight with him, or he came to Blacklin Island to fight with me, and never let anyone send me a letter!" Shiva rolled his eyes, the metal box that Sojes brought actually had no other meaning, Lloyd and Shiva both had a box engraved with the same magic circle in their hands, and there would be a reaction when the two boxes approached, and letting Sojes take it with him was just so that Shiva wouldn't think Sojes was an outsider, he knew Shiva's style and ability very well, if Sojes didn't have this metal box as a hint in advance, I was afraid that he would be killed by Shiva who didn't know the identity of the person who went to the island soon after he set foot on the island.
"I see. Sojes nodded clearly, and then told Shiva that he went to the city lord's palace to find Lloyd and wanted to learn from him, Shiva was stunned at first when he heard it, and then he also agreed, in his opinion, Sojes's talent is actually not worse than himself, but at the same age, his strength is much worse than himself, which is of course related to his previous decadence, and it also has a lot to do with the lack of special guidance, and now the world is turbulent, it is very necessary to improve even a point of strength.
"It seems that that Lloyd guy should want me to guide your future cultivation, otherwise he wouldn't have to make such a thing at all!" Shiva pouted, although he didn't mind pointing at Sojath, but there were different concepts between the two, one was that he took the initiative to guide Sojers, and the other was instructed by Lloyd, it seemed that the purpose was the same, but in fact it was very different, it was no wonder that Shiva showed such an expression.
Although he was a little depressed, Shiva picked up the box and opened it, no more, no less, only a letter was placed, Shiva spread out the letter and looked at it, pouting more and more.
"Brother-in-law, what does the letter say?" Seeing Shiva's expression becoming more and more strange, Sojes couldn't hold back his curiosity, and couldn't help but ask.
"What else can you say, Lloyd wanted to send you to me after you asked for an apprenticeship!" Shiva snorted coldly, this was not for Sogers, but for Lloyd who wanted to blame himself for the trouble! If it wasn't Sogers who came to the island this time but someone else, he wouldn't have the time to guide outsiders.
