Aironi

After consideration, Funuka asked three of the teams to stay in the city for the time being, while the rest went to the battlefield.There is also a trick to hide it from Ayroni. These people are not really not participating in the war, but they are just postponed for a day.Therefore, Ayroni could not arbitrarily judge that Darotana was passive in the fight, so that the goal of making the two sides have a great disparity in strength could be achieved.

Luo and Sanji were not arranged in the combat personnel, but closely attached to the first team like two lone rangers.In any case, this vanguard army is also one of the best combat forces in the city, although none of them can be called a real fighter in the eyes of the two pirates.

The two hung at the tail of the team, wearing a dark gray cloak.After wearing the hood, it covers Sanji's golden hair color and Luo Ruan's white spotted velvet cap, making his actions more stealthy.When they walked down the huge white city along the stone steps, they realized how shocking the destroyed buildings on both sides of the road were.Sanji no longer has the idea that "this city will not be easily destroyed".The team headed downstream from the waterfall, passing a stone bridge into the jungle.

"Isn't it that people who have been marked can't leave the other world without authorization?" Sanji glanced at Luo, "But they should leave here to go to Veliya, right?"

"The rules are set by that guy. All other worlds are within the scope of his abilities, and he can set the battlefield wherever he wants." The doctor shrugged.It suddenly occurred to him that he probably looked like this when he activated his ability.Regarding space, the rule is absolute, which cannot be denied or resisted.

This team is much stronger than they imagined.At least everyone can move forward quickly in the jungle. They have walked this road countless times, even if they are blindfolded, they will not fall too far.The days of living in another world have honed part of their lives into warriors.

After walking for almost a whole day, when the sun was setting, the tall spruce forest was finally left behind.There is no cover from the dense branches and leaves in front of the eyes, revealing a large open space.Surrounded by steep mountains.Compared with the continuous mountain scenery, the most striking thing is the huge ruins in the middle of the open space.

Yes, the ruins, let’s call it that for now.Based on the short hill in front, several rings carved from gray and white stone surround a huge bluestone lotus.Except for the lotus, most of the signs are incomplete, but from the remaining parts, you can still see their once magnificent appearance.These signs are as tall as mountains, and the side facing them is carved with dazzling Buddha statues.The white clouds drifted slowly in the middle of the standing ring.A winding path leads directly from the feet of the people to the top of the hill, the base marked by those rings.

I have seen countless city buildings and ruins, and the awe-inspiring atmosphere of this place is no less than any other place.

The line stopped.Luo and Sanji heard what seemed to be prayers from the crowd, and they were chanting Ayroni's name.

"What are you doing, shouldn't it be your enemy?" Sanji smiled wryly.Even if he said this, he certainly knew that they must have been forced.

"It's really funny." As if knowing what he was thinking, the doctor commented.

"The holy city represents divinity. You can also regard this war as a war between divinity and humanity." Funuka got out of nowhere and explained to them, "I don't know if it is true, anyway Because we are weaker than the people in Water City, Ayloni is on our side most of the time. If it hadn't made various changes from it, all the people in Darodana would have died long ago. So... ...People in the city have mixed feelings about it, maybe they love it or hate it..."

"A devil is a devil, and its essence will not change," Luo said softly, "Just because it smiles at you, you can't think it's a good guy."

The blond man turned his head and felt that he was actually saying something more profound.

The prayers ended soon, and the frontmost team began to move forward.They immediately followed and walked towards the hill where the ruins were located.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

From the perspective of the bottom of the mountain, there is no empty platform at the lotus base.Only by climbing up and seeing it with your own eyes can you appreciate the grandeur of this place.Even if the rings on both sides of the platform are only incomplete, they are enough to disappear into the clouds.The god statues carved on the ring are solemn and precious, which should be regarded as miracles in the eyes of believers.

"Rest here tonight, and go directly to Veliye tomorrow morning." The order was issued, and the teams that arrived one after another were looking for a place to rest near the platform.

Luo and Sanji climbed up a ring ruin, and walked up that arc before stopping.The viewing angle here is very good, overlooking all the teams.The blond man looked around for a while, saw a few stone statues that were relatively close, and spoke approvingly. "That guy's imagination is really good."

Luo took his words half-jokingly. "You better hope it doesn't think of anything it shouldn't."

"What you said, I want to confirm right away whether you are real or not." Seeing the doctor frowned and even began to put his hand on his forehead to find some new evidence, Sanji laughed, "Forget it, I'll let you off this time."

"But this time I also want to confirm that you are the real person. So," Luo looked at him seriously, "how about you prove yourself, Blackfoot House?"

Sanji opened his mouth, unable to refute.It's not difficult.As for evidence, anything can be used, what has been done and said in front of him, as long as both parties have enough impressions.But at this moment, he thought of another fact so desperately that he could indeed use it as evidence that he was not a fake.The words slipped from the tip of his tongue before his brain stopped.

"Your chest is almost covered with tattoos, let me tell you," he swallowed hard—why does Lao Tzu's heart beat so fast—"I'm so worthy of you..."

"Thank you, I believe this is what you meant." The man's face suddenly showed a hateful smile in Sanji's eyes.

The blond man turned his head immediately, and at the same time he saw someone greeting them below.What a lifesaver!A few minutes later, with some bread and water, Sanji came back and gave Luo half.

"Well, it's not as delicious as yours..." The doctor put all the food and water into his stomach, and couldn't help sighing.

"The next time there is a banquet, I promise to let you eat enough." Sanji replied casually.

"Okay. Can I order a grilled fish first?"

The blond man didn't answer, just smiled slightly.

The setting sun had long since disappeared below the horizon, and countless stars began to shine in the sky.Luo lay on the ruins, unconsciously looking up into the sky with his arms on his pillow.After only two glances, I realized that the arrangement of stars above my head was completely messed up, and it just looked like the night sky.After all, that guy is not omnipotent, otherwise he could really be called a god.Thinking about it carefully, only these small clues are still subtly reminding myself that this is not the real world, but just a fictional space made up of things that don't know what they are.

Sanji sat on the edge of the ruins and looked down.He was still wearing the hood, and the flame of his cigarette flickered in and out of the night.When the light appeared, it could reflect his eyes and the hair hanging on his forehead, and when the light was dimmed, it was like the distant and indifferent starlight in the night.His expression was very focused, he didn't know what he was thinking.

In all fiction, this man's existence is absolutely real.

The doctor looked at his side face, and his heart was quickly occupied by some thoughts.He couldn't avoid thinking that if he could stay in this kind of place with the Blackfoot House, it might...not be a bad thing, at least it wouldn't be separated by the established identities - being in two pirate groups, the end of the alliance is the enemy, There is simply no suspense.But no matter which side you choose, you will never regret your choice.

"Tomorrow will end." He said to Sanji.

"Ok, I know."

[25. The Apple of Eden]

This was a dream, Sanji was sure.

Knowing that one is dreaming in one's sleep is not a very common occurrence, but there is no doubt that this is the case at this moment.He walked forward in a lush forest.The doctor who has been by his side recently is not there, but Sanji finds himself looking for that figure subconsciously.It felt very real, as if something terrible was going to happen if he couldn't be found.As for what it is, I don't know and don't care.

Sanji only knew that the matter of "finding Luo" was like an unstoppable thought, rushing along the blood vessels and rushing into the heart.

He walked faster and faster through the woods.The surrounding fir trees may be hundreds of meters high, forming a vast and far-reaching jungle.He quickened his pace, leaving the plants behind in droves.Suddenly, like some kind of strange induction, the blond man suddenly stopped, and slowly turned his head to look in the direction of his right hand.

An apple tree protruded from the gaps in the thick fir branches. In the whole fir forest, this low plant was very eye-catching.All his attention was on the man under the tree.Black long coat.And that iconic velvet hat.Trafalgaro was sitting under the apple tree, holding a ripe apple.Sanji saw him put the fruit into his mouth, and took a bite with a click.

As if aware of the sight, Luo slowly raised his head to look at him.

"You have been looking for me for a long time."
