Chapter 237 The value of cultural Ian! Redfield!
Sleeping Ancient Town.
It is called a town, but in fact it is just the size of a small village.
The reason why it is called this name is because it was once called this name.
This small village is very small, built by the sea, with a small pier. There is a road extending from the pier, with about fifty houses on both sides, and the total number of people is about a few hundred.
The road through the small village extends all the way forward until it goes deep into the lush mountains not far from the village.
And today, this small village welcomed a visitor.
This is a tall and straight young man, who looks about 16 or 17 years old. He wears a simple T-shirt and shorts, and a pair of slippers on his feet, just like a tourist on vacation.
That’s why the villagers don’t understand what’s fun in their place.
However, what attracts people’s attention is of course his appearance. It can be said that he is so handsome that it makes people feel abnormal.
He just walked slowly through the small road in the village. No matter whether it was a young girl or a married woman, all of them couldn’t help staring at him.
The young man didn’t care, but made the women in the village blush.
After a brief stroll in the village, the young man went to the only tavern in the village. It was a small shop that could be called narrow, with a bar and two tables.
After all, there were only a few hundred people in the village, and there would not be enough customers if the shop was too big.
“Welcome.”
The bar owner was still wiping the wine glasses behind the bar. He carefully looked at the young man who pushed the door in.
Looks familiar.
Why does it feel familiar?
Where have you seen it before?
”Are there any food?”
The young man sat down in front of the bar and asked lazily.
The bar owner noticed that there was a strange red creature lying on his shoulder, looking around curiously with eyes wide open.
”There are freshly baked apple pies.”
Silently retracting his gaze, the bar owner said.
”Then give me a few, plus a bottle of rum.”
The young man, Ian, who came from afar, said casually.
”Okay.”
The boss didn’t waste any words. He took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet behind him and placed it in front of Ian, and then went to the kitchen to take out a few steaming apple pies.
Ian first picked up the rum, and with a domineering push, the cork flew out.
The bar owner was stunned.
He didn’t understand how Ian did it at all.
Ian took the bottle and gulped down a sip, then took a big bite of the apple pie in front of him.
To be honest, the taste was quite ordinary, but it was freshly baked, so it was not bad.
“Boss, I want to ask you something,” Ian asked casually while eating, “Have there been many outsiders on the island recently?” The boss thought for a moment, “Not many, but some people did go to the ruins in the mountains to search for something not long ago.” “Some of them are still in the village.” “Really?” Ian nodded gently, “Where is the so-called ruins?” “In the center of the island, in the middle of the highest mountain.” The boss said casually, “Young man, are you here for the ruins too? There is nothing there. If there is anything, it won’t be left for you outsiders to find.” “Really? I don’t believe it.” Ian just smiled gently. The reason why he couldn’t find it was because he lacked the key. The corner of the bar owner’s mouth twitched. You are still a little rebellious. But it looks so familiar, really so familiar. Where have I seen him before? ”Okay, thank you for the treat, boss.”
Ian wiped his mouth. In just a few minutes, the apple pie and rum had already gone into his stomach.
Casually throwing down a few gold coins, Ian stood up and turned to walk out of the bar.
”…”
Looking at the gold coins still dancing on the table, the bar owner was stunned.
Is he so arrogant?
Ian walked out of the bar, looked up, and looked atThe lush mountains in the distance.
Since there are still many outsiders in the village, I should have been exposed long ago, so it’s time to do the right thing.
Ian didn’t disguise himself at all, after all, he was the only one who landed on the island.
Because he was alone, he was not afraid of anything.
Ejected into the air, and then headed towards the mountains in the distance without stopping.
”Fly, fly up!!”
The bar owner was stunned.
Wait!
Suddenly, a light bulb flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly found a stack of wanted posters from under the bar. After flipping through them again, he finally found a wanted poster.
The bar owner was stunned for a moment.
The handsome face on the wanted poster instantly overlapped with the young man just now.
“Four, four, four emperors?”
He stuttered in disbelief.
How could such a great man appear in this rural place?
The Pirate Emperor came to eat at his place?
And gave him a few gold coins?
”Could it be that,”
he suddenly exclaimed, “there is really something hidden in the ruins?”
Oh my, I missed a hundred million!
Just as Ian thought, when he was running towards the ruins, warships in a sea not far from here were quickly surrounding this place.
“Ian!!”
Hero Garp no longer had the laziness he had before. He stood at the bow with a serious look in his eyes. The sea breeze made his coat rustle. “Why did that guy appear here? Did he also come here for the legend on the island?”
”But how could he know about this?”
”Our people didn’t find anything on the island at all.”
Zeffa said, “There is nothing in the ruins. Perhaps, we are simply looking in the wrong place.”
”Whether we find it wrong or not,”
Hero Garp clenched his fists, “Now is not the time to hesitate!”
”But if we go out now, the Cross will probably know immediately that this is a conspiracy against them, and they will not appear again!”
Zeffa said seriously.
”Ian showed up alone this time,”
Hero Garp said seriously, “He didn’t bring any companions with him. There is no better time than now!”
Zeffa pursed his lips.
Yes, the Crusaders are also troublesome, but they are still far inferior to Ian.
That man is the biggest threat to the World Government!
When he becomes stronger, defeats Kaido, and unifies the entire Beast Pirates, the whole world will be in trouble! ”Okay!”
So Zephyr nodded heavily, “Then let’s take down that guy Ian first!”
”Let Kuzan come quickly!”
Sleeping Ancient Town.
Not long after Ian left the small village, the sea surface suddenly became turbulent at the dock outside the village.
A ship suddenly emerged from the bottom of the sea! The bubbles that originally wrapped the ship dissipated the moment it floated to the surface of the sea. Almost at the moment the bubbles dissipated, a black shadow soared out of the ship, catapulted into the sky, and then stepped on the air and headed towards the mountains in the distance.
“Hurry!”
Crocodile turned into yellow sand, “Moria! You and I will go and deal with those government agents on the island first!”
“Shiru! Go catch up with Reid!”
“Waldo, I’ll leave the coating to you!”
With a clear division of labor, the Cross Guild arrived at the scene.
Ian catapulted into the sky and soon arrived above the mountains.
After all, the island was not that big, and it was really nothing with his speed.
Soon, the highest mountain that the bar owner mentioned appeared in front of Ian.
Ian lowered his altitude, and his observation Haki was still a little powerless when searching for inanimate objects.
But fortunately, the scale of the ruins was not small, and Ian discovered its existence at a glance.
It landed lightly on a tall pillar of the ruins. Ian looked around and saw only a piece of ruins.
But there is one place that is special.
There is a cave on the mountain wall, which is also part of the ruins.
From the decoration outside, it seems that this is not an ordinary cave, but more like a temple.
It should be here, right?Ian jumped lightly and landed outside the cave, then walked in.
Inside was a fairly wide space, with stone slabs on the floor and ceiling, and bricks on the walls.
Directly opposite was a stone platform with many patterns carved on it, but there was nothing on it.
The entire space was empty.
There were only pillars to support the ceiling, and various patterns carved on the walls.
Ian’s mouth curled up.
No wonder the people from the World Government came and found nothing.
They didn’t even find the key point.
Ian walked to the front of the stone platform, raised his head and looked at the patterns on the wall.
This is not a simple pattern.
If someone who knows ancient characters can see here, there are some ancient characters mixed in these patterns.
These are the ancient characters carved on the main text of history.
Because they are not densely arranged together, they are just some special patterns for people who don’t know ancient characters.
At first glance, there is nothing special.
But by chance, Ian is a cultured person and he understands ancient characters.
”Is that so?”
Ian walked to a certain floor tile and stepped on it a little harder.
The floor tile did not react at all.
Ian did not stop and jumped to another floor tile to continue stepping on it.
Then there was another one.
Ian’s movements were very fast, jumping around in the hall like a kitten.
After stepping on dozens of floor tiles in a specific order, the wide hall suddenly began to shake.
The most violent vibration was the stone platform.
Just when Ian thought that the stone platform would crack and the vampire fruit would appear from it, the ceiling suddenly cracked and a small box fell down.
“Ah?”
Fortunately, Ian reacted quickly and grabbed the box, otherwise it would have fallen to the ground.
… Just want to use the trick to trick the World Government? How interesting.
Just right, let’s play a trick with the old senior.
Ian walked out of the cave leisurely and looked up at the sky.
A black shadow was approaching rapidly.
Ian raised his right hand and waved to the person coming.
Redfield went to the ruins in the center of the island at the fastest speed.
Crocodile’s people had already found out the location of the ruins before they arrived.
Although they said they didn’t find anything, Redfield just thought they were not capable enough.
Now that he is here, what else can’t be found?
However, when he came to the sky above the ruins again, Redfield saw a young man walking out of the cave, looking up at him with a smile, and even waving to him.
“This guy!!”
Redfield’s pupils shrank slightly.
Although he had never seen this kid, he had heard too many legends about him after he was released from prison.
Redfield landed on a tall pillar in the ruins. He looked at the boy standing at the entrance of the cave with a solemn face, “Ian, the Burning Sky!”
”You are the legendary Lone Red, Baloric Redfield, right?”
Ian looked at the white-haired man and smiled, “The man who can keep pace with Roger Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates by himself, I have heard of your name for a long time.”
”Ian!”
Red stared at Ian, and suddenly a sense of foreboding surged in his heart, “Why are you here?”
”You asked me why I’m here?”
Ian was puzzled by his question and said as a matter of course, “Of course I’m here to visit this ruins. Why, aren’t you here, Senior Reid?”
The reason why he said “you” was because another breath was very close.
Reid naturally didn’t believe a word of Ian’s words.
His eyes noticed the small box in Ian’s hand sharply, and almost the next moment, he pointed to the box, “What is that?”
Ian smiled with curved eyebrows, “It’s my lunch box.”
Redfield’s forehead veins jumped instantly, “Give it to me.”
“Oh?”
Ian laughed wantonly, “Senior Reid, you don’t want to help me wash the lunch box, do you? This is not good.”
“I asked you to give it to me!”
Redfield suddenly burst out with a terrifying spirit, suppressing Ian with unmatched power.
As a legend of the last era, he certainly possessed the Dominant Color.
But.
The next moment, an even more terrifying aura gushed out from Ian, not only resisting Reid’s Dominant Color, but even pressing towards Reid in return.
”Oh!”
At this time, in the sky, Xiliu, who was also using the Moon Step, stopped approaching, “No way? Ian?”
The next moment, his mouth corners raised, “Exciting! Are we going to see a battle between the strong next?”
This kid has such a strong Dominant Color! Reid gritted his teeth secretly, but his mouth was full of coldness, “Kid, I asked you to give me what you have in your hand!”
Ian smiled, “Maybe, Senior Reid, you can try to grab it.”
”Do you think I dare not?”
