Chapter 63 Historical Text
Albana.
The 'Dancing Fans' incident a few years ago really caused the Neferutari family's prestige in the entire Alabasta to drop significantly. Crocodile's plan made all the people who were not interested in Kobra but the people living in Albana. Generally speaking, that period was the happiest time in their ten or twenty years.
When Kira led everyone into the city from the west gate of Albana, the first thing they saw was a happy scene.
Residents living in the capital are walking freely on the streets, doing business or having fun, with happy smiles on their faces, like flowers growing in a greenhouse.
Unlike the prosperity of Nahana, which is supported by the perfume trade, and the prosperity of Rainland, which is supported by the gambling market, this city is filled with the atmosphere of peace. It may not be rich enough, but it is absolutely safe and happy.
As the direct beneficiaries of the 'Dancing Fans' incident, they are the least likely people in the entire country to abandon the Neferutari clan because of this incident.
The abundant rainwater has significantly improved their quality of life. Even though they later learned that the rainwater fell by depriving surrounding cities of rain clouds, this behavior is immoral and is prohibited by government order. But how can this group of people who live in the desert and are extremely short of water be dissatisfied with too much water?
Yes, we get more rain because of this, but are we wrong? No!!
The person who really did the wrong thing is the person who used dancing powder. If you want to take revenge, you should go to him. What does it have to do with us ordinary people living in Albana? We have no power, no power, how can we influence others? Thoughts? We are also very saddened by the use of "dancing powder" by conspirators, and we are also helpless and regretful!
After some inquiring, Kira discovered that such thoughts are common among people in this city.
It’s okay to scold conspirators, but join the rebels? Sorry, you can’t do that! As for why you scold conspirators instead of the royal family, of course it’s because... you can’t talk nonsense without evidence!
"I feel like they have a certain bottom line, at least they haven't done anything like 'taking the bowl to eat and putting the bowl down to scold the mother'..."
After hearing about King Kobra's reputation from the people, Kira complained to everyone, "If even people like them join the rebel army, then this country will really be hopeless!"
In the world of pirates, there are not many ungrateful people. For example, the navy captain T. Penn in the back was stabbed in the back by the people he protected.
"So, where are we going now?"
"Go to the royal tomb. The historical text passed down by the Nefertari family is there. I want to get it!"
Since Kira had told everyone about his plan before, they knew that what he wanted to do now was to collect historical texts and obtain "evidence" for writing history.
"Is it the royal tomb? It should be heavily guarded, right?"
The total population of Alabasta is about 10 million, and the standing army is 600,000. Even though most of the soldiers are stationed in various cities, there are tens of thousands who stay in Albana, and the royal tomb is one of the most important places for the royal family. 1. The strength of the guard can be imagined.
It's just that in this world where great power is concentrated in one body, the combat power of tens of thousands of soldiers can't make much waves. For stronger pirates, it can be solved with just a wave of hands. A magician of Kira's level can't make waves. As far as warriors are concerned, they are not even as scary as Akunololia's roar.
Urrutia and others were not interested in Kira's troublemaking behavior. They had long regarded their experience in this world as a journey, so as soon as they entered Albana, they dispersed and went shopping, so in the end only
Robin, Lebby and Lucy, three members of the "Ancient Language Study Group", followed Kira to the royal tomb to search for historical texts.
Perhaps because the royal army was in extreme friction with the rebels, when Kira and the other four used invisibility magic to walk in, they found that the guards at the royal tomb were surprisingly sparse, making the infiltration process a breeze.
Opening the mechanism of the underground passage, several people walked through a long and dark underground passage and came to an empty hall. In the center of the hall, there was an ancient stone tablet engraved with mysterious words.
Kira gathered her magic power and released a simple lighting magic, allowing the entire historical stone tablet to be clearly displayed in front of a few people. Although its five sides were covered with dust, there was no trace of decay and ashes.
The carving knife seems unable to leave even the slightest trace on it.
"What a magical stone!"
Lucy stepped forward to check out out of curiosity, and then exclaimed: "Kira, these stones are really more than 800 years old? You can't tell it from the appearance!"
Lebby put on special reading glasses and tried to use magic to analyze it, but she was disappointed because there was no such text recorded in the props, so naturally it could not be automatically analyzed.
Fortunately, she had learned a lot of words from Robin this day and could interpret a few words.
"This is... the historical text passed down from generation to generation by the Nefertari clan?!!"
Robin couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, and the churning blood caused a flush to appear on her face.
She had been working in the Baroque Works Club for so many years just for this piece of work. However, before yesterday, she had never thought that obtaining historical texts would be such a simple matter.
Now that the historical text was in front of him, Robin couldn't wait. He scanned it quickly with his eyes, translated the text one by one, and kept it in his heart.
When Robin finished translating the entire text, she was suddenly stunned because she discovered that it actually recorded the burial place of the ancient weapon 'Pluto' Prito - the country of Wano.
"You said before that you told Crocodile the location of 'Pluto'??"
Robin turned to look at Kira, and was surprised to find that he was holding a camera in his hand, taking pictures of the historical stone monument in front of him.
"Yes, it should be written on it, right? 'Pluto' is in Wano Country."
"Uh...yes."
Kira's voice made Robin freeze again. She was sure that Kira couldn't read words, and it was his first time here. So where did he learn about the location of 'Pluto'? It was the one he mentioned
'Special intelligence channel'? What exactly is that?
If possible, she would also like to use that intelligence channel to find out the whereabouts of more 'historical monuments'...
"Are you really not interested in 'Pluto'?"
Hearing Robin's words, Kira stopped what she was doing and looked at her with a look that said, "This child is so pitiful." "I have magical elf powers, so what else do I need as 'Pluto'? Does that thing have energy?"
, I don’t even know if it can be driven!”
Lucy asked curiously: "Kira, Robin-san, what exactly is 'Pluto'?"
It’s not Hades anyway…
While checking whether the photos he took were clear, Kira replied: "'Pluto' is one of the three major ancient weapons in the world. It is a warship made by a huge kingdom with super-advanced technology more than 800 years ago.
I heard it can destroy an island with one shot."
Lucy suddenly realized: "An island?? It doesn't sound very strong, right?"
After seeing weapons like the magic spirit power, and seeing magicians like Kira, Akunololia, Ogast, and Irene, they have long been indifferent to the power of destroying the island.
If you can't destroy the country with one move, you are still an ant in the world of weapons!
Robin was stunned when he heard this: What's going on with you magicians? Do you have such high standards?
"Have you finished reading it? I'm going to put it away." Kira said and handed the three of them the photo they had just taken with Polaroid. "If you still want to see it, just look at this one!"
Lucy took it and looked at it, frowned and complained: "Isn't this word too small?"
Kira once again put up a magnifying glass: "Would it be possible to see with this addition?"
Three people: "..."
When Kira put the historical stone tablet into her portable space, Robin suddenly asked: "What you call 'magic'... I wonder if I can learn it?"
"Huh? Are you interested too?" Kira was very surprised, "I thought you were not interested in things other than archeology and history."
Robin pressed the hat on his head and said calmly: "I just think it may make my archaeological operations more convenient. If it involves your privacy or secrets that are not told, then just pretend that I didn't tell you."
Pressing the hat...a sign of guilty conscience!
Kira narrowed her eyes and instantly saw through Robin's thoughts, but... could Robin really do this kind of arrogant attitude that she really wanted to do but pretended not to care on her face?
"Everyone's magic talent is different. I'm not sure if you can learn spatial attribute magic." Kira reminded.
"Really? Then..."
Robin was about to change his words, but was interrupted by Kira: "Anyway, let's try it first!"
"Huh?! Is that okay?" Robin suddenly raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Kira nodded: "Of course, magic is not something that needs to be kept secret! In Aslant, although magic books are expensive, they are all things that can be bought in the end, but this is not Aslant.
So if you want to learn magic, you have to pay a little price."
"What price?"
