Chapter 243: Devil's Island
"Old man, it seems that you haven't been doing well lately!"
Seeing Robert Sr., Duke couldn't help but ask.
When he entered the secret realm of Stan that day, this old man was very high-spirited, and looking at his languishing appearance now, he was indeed like two people.
"Hey, little one, my old Robert is planted!"
Old Robert shook his head and smiled bitterly, his face was full of beard and shaking, and his expression was full of bitterness, "If only I had a son like your kid!"
"What?" Duke's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he seemed to hear something from Old Robert's words.
"Alas......"
Old Robert let out a long sigh, "I won't hide it from you, kid, I'm all doing harm to our kid Ali this time." ”
"Oh, what's going on?"
Duke naturally knew that the Alee that Robert Sr. was talking about was Robert Jr., who went on an expedition to the underworld that day, and was finally bitten by Arthur's nine-headed Hades snake and turned into a snake slave. Robert Sr. had no children, so his brother's son, Ari, was given to him. So, although Ari was his nephew, he was already his son in name. One of the main reasons why Duke wanted to find Robert Sr. this time was because of Robert Jr.
Duke has not forgotten that before Robert Jr. died, he suddenly came to his senses and begged him to do one thing for him, that is, he hoped to bring his ashes back, and told Old Robert that he had not lost the face of the Robert family. Naturally, Duke wanted to fulfill his wish, and now he was going to tell old Robert about it.
"My kid is not angry, but he has made me miserable. ”
Old Robert touched the beard on his face, and said helplessly, "This expedition to the underground world of the ancient dwarves, that kid must go, and in the end, Lao Tzu and I agreed, let him go on an expedition with Gabriel, the son of the guy from Mitheus, with two teams." ”
However, three months ago, the fire in his soul was suddenly extinguished. ”
Old Robert shook his head slightly, "Lao Tzu knew that something had happened to him this time." ”
But that's not the end of the story. ”
Old Robert continued: "Just over a month ago, I was suddenly impeached by some members of the Parliament, saying that my kid had an affair with the demons, and when he was exploring the underground world, he was alienated into a snake slave of the demons. ”
"I didn't believe it at the time. ”
Old Robert's bloodshot eyes flashed with a strange light: "But when I saw the contents of a crystal ball, I had to believe it." ”
"Little guy, you know, the whole Big 6 is going on a dark tide right now. Because when the ancient dwarves were exploring the underground world, the people of the major forces were bought and betrayed by the remnants of the demon race. Therefore, now all parties attach special importance to any people and things related to the demon race. ”
Robert's voice became low, "Although my unscrupulous son is a snake slave who has been alienated into a demon race, in a sense, he is a victim of the demon race. However, after all, the demons were still involved, so in order to avoid suspicion, I had no choice but to submit my resignation and temporarily give up the position of the commander of the second army in the west. I believe that the parliament will always give me a clean slate. ”
"I see!"
Duke's brow furrowed sharply, and he looked at Robert with a strange gaze. From the words of old Robert, Duke smelled a smell of conspiracy. Little Robert was bitten by the nine-headed Hades snake before he became a snake slave, he was completely unwilling, and he was indeed victimized by the remnants of the demon clan.
However, it was because of him that Robert Sr. was implicated, and if no one was behind the scenes, it would be unbelievable to kill Duke.
Each generation of the Daniel family will serve as the speaker of the coalition parliament, so every heir has also received a systematic education in various political aspects since childhood. So, Duke knows these things very well. It's just that the ancestors of the Daniel family are not here, they are pursuing the path of becoming gods. Inr, often the heirs of each generation of the Daniel family, would completely disdain the office of Speaker, and once he had children, he would leave and travel the world from then on.
The reason for this is actually the ancestors of the Daniel family, who disdain the dirty politics and do not want to get involved in the quagmire.
"Old Robert!"
Duke's expression became solemn, and his tone became extremely cautious: "I came to you today, in fact, it is also related to Little Robert. ”
As he spoke, Duke waved his hand, and a porcelain jar appeared in his hand, Duke held the porcelain jar in both hands, and put it on the table in front of old Robert with a solemn expression, "This is Little Robert's ashes, I brought him back." Moreover, I have one more thing to say, and he says that he has not lost the face of the Robert family. ”
"Ah......h
Old Robert was shocked, his eyes suddenly burst out with a strange light, and the whole person trembled slightly, "He really said that?"
"Yes!"
Duke nodded vigorously, "He is good, although he was bitten by the nine-headed Hades snake and turned into a snake slave, but he was able to come to his senses at the last moment, which shows that his will is also extremely firm." A person like him would never rebel and become a lackey of the demon race. So, he was good, he didn't lose the face of the Robert family. ”
"Good boy!"
Old Robert's voice was a little choked, his hands trembled, and he gently stroked the porcelain jar containing the ashes, and his eyes were already misty. The news that Duke brought was the best news Robert Sr. had heard during this time, and it was also the greatest comfort to Old Robert.
"Thank you, little one!"
Old Robert said to Duke cautiously, his expression solemn. As he spoke, he picked up the porcelain jar, slowly stood up, and walked out of the door, his waist, which was still a little rickety, gradually straightened up, and the whole person suddenly exuded a vigorous breath.
Duke silently watched old Robert leave, but he also had some emotion in his heart.
"Master Duke!"
Blair walked in through the door, followed by his sons Olly Potter and Nick Hansen, but Ulysses did not come.
"Uncle Bligh!"
Duke looked up and saw the two young men behind him, but a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Brother Olly Potter, Brother Nit Hansen, hello, it's a pleasure to see you again." ”
As they spoke, the three young men embraced. Duke grew up alone, received strict training from Angus Sr., and usually had few partners. However, every spring, the three young masters of the Angus family will come over to play for a while.
For Duke, who was lonely when he was a child, the time he was with Orly Potter was the happiest time, so Duke has always had a deep affection for the three Orly Porter brothers.
However, after Duke was ten years old, his training became even more arduous, and even the meeting with the three Angus brothers in the spring was finally canceled. He and the three Olly Porter brothers really haven't met each other for several years.
The three childhood friends met again, and they were indeed a little excited about each other.
However, with Blair next to him, the two Olly Potter brothers didn't dare to be too presumptuous, hugged Duke, and sat down solemnly.
"Master Duke!"
Blair pointed to the Olister brothers, "The two of them and the three Ulysses brothers are now in the Second Western Legion, and they both hold the position of corps commander. ”
"Congratulations to the two brothers!"
Duke gave the two of them a thumbs up, "I didn't expect the two elder brothers to be officers in command of 2,000 men now. ”
The corps commander is in charge of four brigades, and each brigade has 500 people, and one corps commander is a commanding officer of 2,000 people.
"Master Duke!"
Blair continued, "You must have come to us this time to make the Roaring Sea the place where the Alien Appearance appeared. You can ask Olly Porter about this, because his regiment is stationed there and has been in charge of this all the time. “
"Yes, Master Duke!" Orly Porter hurriedly picked up: "If there is anything you want to ask, I can tell you what I know." ”
"That would be great. ”
Duke is now most interested in knowing what is going on on this side of the Roaring Sea, which is extremely important for his future adventures.
"In fact, the place where the Roaring Sea is born is also an island, more than a thousand miles away from the Siwa Islands. ”
Olly Porter didn't hide it, "That island is called Devil's Island, and it was originally a very dangerous place, not only are there frequent visits by various sea monsters around, but the geographical environment is also extremely complicated. ”
"The mountains on Devil's Island are full of caves, and when there is wind on the island, there will be a strange sound like the devil's terrible roar, which is very terrifying. ”
Olipot took out a map and pointed to it, "That's why that island is called Devil's Island." ”
"Since a few months ago, there was a sudden tsunami in the waters near Devil's Island!"
Olly Porter's expression became solemn, "There is a different phase on Devil's Island, a long rainbow across the sky has not dispersed for a long time, and various images have appeared in the long rainbow, which is extremely psychedelic. ”
"After that, our military immediately sent someone to investigate. ”
Olly Potter drew a circle with his finger on the map: "However, the people who went to investigate at that time couldn't get close to Devil's Island at all, and they couldn't even find its exact location, because, since then, the entire sea area near Devil's Island has been filled with a poisonous fog that can't be dissolved." Many of our sergeants ventured in, but they couldn't get out. ”
"So powerful?"
Duke's eyebrows froze, "How did that poison barrier mist form, what the hell is it?"
"The source of the poisonous barrier fog has not been found out yet, but we suspect that it is very likely that somewhere on the ocean floor originally stored this poisonous gas. ”
Orly Porter shook his head, "After that tsunami, the crust of the seabed changed, but those poisonous gases leaked out, thus forming a poisonous barrier fog on the sea surface. ”
"However, in the past three months, the poisonous barrier fog over there has gradually dissipated. ”
A gleam appeared in Orly Potter's eyes: "The outline of Devil's Island can be faintly seen from a distance, so it should be time to enter the adventure." ”
