Chapter 516
On the table, Lin Tian had already stopped, and looked towards the man who was laughing in front of him with a puzzling expression.
It stands to reason that the other party’s face should have changed after being told by him. The man has changed, but why does the man laugh?
Just when Lin Tian was puzzled, the man stopped laughing and said: “It seems that in your heart at this time is thinking I was deceiving you.”
As the dialogue said, Lin Tian did not cover up too much, nod and said: “Yes, from the conflicting information just now, I really didn’t believe what you said.”
From the very beginning, Lin Tian didn’t believe their words too much, and was locked in a prison from the time he woke up, as well as the pits he had prepared for him.
Actually, the man didn’t expect Lin Tian to believe it. After all, what they did before was too insincere.
The man said: “It seems that our previous practice caused you a deep misunderstanding.”
In Lin Tian’s view, what the man said were words to lower his vigilance. To become a king, his strategy would not be too bad, otherwise it would be impossible to do this position securely.
From the previous prison and the ambush, it’s obvious they are holding the mentality of controlling him at first, but after seeing Lin Tian’s battle strength and not knowing how to solve Lin Tian, they quickly changed the policy, focusing on wooing and cooperation, otherwise it would not appear in the current scene.
There is no fair deal in the world, only fair traders, and a truly fair and peaceful deal can only be implemented under similar circ.u.mstances.
This is also why, when Lin Tian fought before, it was indeed to the end, just to let them see their own combat power and put the two sides on the same level.
Because Lin Tian knows in his heart that if he wants to go out, he must rely on the kings of the entire kingdom. They have ruled for thousands of years, and they know far more secrets and things than ordinary people.
Only they are the most likely to solve the reason why they can’t leave the protective cover and let themselves leave this cursed place.
Seeing that Lin Tian didn’t answer, before waiting for the man to speak, the handsome man behind His Highness the Prince couldn’t bear it anymore. He had never been so disrespectful to his Royal Father.
Staring at Lin Tian angrily said: “My Royal Father didn’t deceive you, everything I said before is fact, and there are some things that I don’t even know.”
“His Royal Highness, I didn’t seem to ask you, why are you interrupting suddenly?” Lin Tian raised his finger and shook it the man behind his back, with a mostly teasing tone in his mouth.
Seeing Lin Tian ignoring his own appearance, His Highness Cos instantly felt that his heart was about to be full of anger, and he was about to speak.
Lin Tian said again, “His Highness the Prince, as you have said, you don’t know some things, how can you tell that what you just said is true?”
“That’s…” His Highness Kos was immediately at a loss. He didn’t know how to answer, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.
At this moment, the king who hadn’t spoken in front of him spoke, alleviating the freezing atmosphere in the air. He waved his hand to stop and said: “Well, Kos, stop arguing, I do have some things that I haven’t told my little friend yet.”
“Father…” His Royal Highness Kos stepped forward with excitement, with a face full of disbelief. He didn’t expect his Royal Father just like Lin Tian said.
Suddenly, Fleet Admiral Azure Bamboo, who had been silent all this time, said: “His Royal Highness, this matter is not about the king’s matter. If you really want to explain it, you may leave it to me.”
“Uncle…” Hearing the sound coming from Azure Bamboo behind, he looked at his uncle in disbelief. Could it be that what he just said was wrong?
Without answering His Highness Kos, Fleet Admiral Azure Bamboo turned his head and looked towards Lin Tian, apologizing: “Sorry, little friend, we hid from you. After all, that is the top secret of our kingdom.”
When Fleet Admiral Azure Bamboo spoke, the king at the table waved his hand, and the soldier and the maid on the side saw the king’s movements, without saying anything, slowly exiting the room.
The king waved his palms, with a faint smile on his face, and after taking what was just now, he said, “Everyone, we can make a good deal when everything is clarified.”
“Where should we start? Some things have to start from twenty years ago. After hundreds of years of hard work, although we have not succeeded in solving the curse, we are not without gains. During an experiment, we opened a pa.s.sage. At that time, we thought it was the exit pa.s.sage, but we sent several soldiers to enter, but did not get any response. Finally, after discussing so much, I entered.”
Hearing this, His Highness Kos couldn’t wait any longer, and urged: “Uncle, please speak quickly, don’t stop.”
For the outside world, Kos has always been very curious, looking forward to what the outside world looks like, but not at all, of course no one can introduce him to the outside world.
Today, his uncle who has always been most beloved actually went to the outside world. He was shocked, however, the next step is the inner excitement, what is the outside world like.
“At that time, I became the only person who crossed the tunnel, and finally reached the outside world, a place called the Grand Line. The outside world is… still not known how many times larger than this place; full of excitement.”
Speaking of this, Fleet Admiral Azure Bamboo can’t help showing the color of memories. It was an unforgettable experience for him back then.
“Grand Line?” Kos whispered softly, turned his head and looked towards Lin Tian, and asked coldly: “Hey, are you from Grand Line?”
Turning his head and looking towards Kos, Lin Tian replied faintly: “First, I am not called Hey, I have a name. My name is Lin Tian. Second, I do come from there.”
After answering the question of Kos, Lin Tian looked towards Azure Bamboo on the edge and asked: “So, you have been to the Grand Line before. Based on your battle strength, you should have a good reputation in the Grand Line back then?”
“Yes.” nod, Azure Bamboo mentioned the incident, Azure Bamboo voluntarily exuded in excitement, “I pa.s.sed through the pa.s.sage, was seriously injured. Finally though, I was rescued by a group of pirates and joined them. After walking the entire Grand Line….”
“Wait a minute!” Lin Tian suddenly called to a halt, looking towards Azure Bamboo, his gaze was full of shock, and he couldn’t believe what he heard just now. He confirmed again: “You said you finished the Grand Line…”
“Yes.” his gaze swept across Lin Tian’s shocked eyes, a proud smile appeared on his face, “It seems that what we were doing back then is still out in the world.”
Hearing this, Lin Tian had a wry smile on his face. It was not spread in the world, but from three-year-old children to centenarians, who doesn’t know your deeds.
“Hey.” the elderly sighed suddenly, “That experience back then is really one h.e.l.l of a memory. I don’t know how those old friends are doing, and whether Captain Roger has recovered from his illness or not.”
The gaze swept across the faces of Azure Bamboo and Lin Tian, while Kos was confused. What are they talking about, what is pirate, and who is Captain Roger?
“Well-well, I didn’t expect.” Lin Tian shook his head and exclaimed: “One of the Roger pirates, who shocked the Grand Line, would unexpectedly encounter him here.”
“But, how come you suddenly come back here.” Lin Tian stared at Azure Bamboo, said curiously.
“Actually, the reason why I came back here was mainly because we arrived at the last stop of the Grand Line that day…”
Azure Bamboo suddenly stopped, as if there were some restrictions. Not at all said the next words, and his face became expressionless.
“Some things will only be answered when it is time to answer them. If it is known at the incorrect time, there will be too many changes.”
Hearing this, Lin Tian pondered not at all to ask, whether it was the elderly or Garp Sensei, or Rayleigh and Shanks, it’s hard to say what happened back then, what happened at the last stop of the Grand Line.
“Well, my little friend, for so long, I’m tired compared to you. Let Kos take you to rest.” Seeing that the situation is not right, the king opened his mouth and spoke.
Even if he didn’t want it in his heart, Kos was still reluctant to lead the way towards the door when he was ordered by his Royal Father.
Looking at the back of Lin Tian leaving, the king looked towards Azure Bamboo in front of him, and he wondered a little bit: “This guy is indeed the one we are waiting for.”
Azure Bamboo also looked towards that back figure, with a firm tone of voice saying: “Don’t worry, I have a feeling that it is him. The Elder’s words are impossible to be wrong. The outsider comes and the curse dissipates.”
TL note: Azure Bamboo seems to be an original character as I couldn’t find him with his Chinese name (青竹同). Which frustrates me, even though there are some Roger Pirates members that have no information after the disband that could just be Azure Bamboo here, like Spencer, Scopper Gaban, CB Gallant, Mr. Momora, Moon Issac Jr., Yui, Rangram, Mugren, Blumarine maybe, Erio, Jacksonbanner, Yamon. Look at how many those in-universe characters there are! Why make original character- whatever. Anyway, as far ahead I’ve read, he’s not gonna show up regularly.
