Chapter 257 Dragon and snake dance together, killing people! (3)
Walker Lott, an old man from the Serpent clan, is the oldest and most aged among the three old men from the Nine Families who set out for Wano Country this time.
He is now one hundred and forty-three years old.
Even though he is old.
But no one dared to look down upon this old man.
God-level ability users at the beginning of the ninth stage, complete [rules] controllers, are very rare in the entire world.
When the old man was young, no matter where he went, countless people would kneel down and worship him in awe. Even among the Nine Families, a behemoth that lasted for thousands of years and was unfathomable, he was the real mainstay.
Yes, the old man today is in his final years, and his strength may have declined.
Even if you can't advance to the first level of the ninth level, I'm afraid you won't have a few years to live.
But this trip to Wano Country and the existence of the Sky Tree [Border Gate] were a magnificent transformation and turning point in this old man's life.
However, compared with the two energetic old men who were in their fifties or sixties with faces and tall and straight postures this time.
Walker, the old man of the Sky Snake tribe, has neatly combed silver hair, but his old cheeks are full of wrinkles. Every wrinkle has spring, summer, autumn and winter written in it. When he walks, his body is unconsciously rickety, and it seems to be filled with the feeling of the sunset and the long journey.
Old.
In fact, the reason for this is that he is too "greedy".
For example, at this moment, Wano Country specially prepared a hotel for them to stay.
Old Man Walker was wearing a white bathrobe, his face was flushed, and his somewhat turbid fish eyes were full of enjoyment and indulgence. He was holding a transparent goblet in his hand, which was filled with wine-red plasma that was stained on the walls of the cup.
liquid.
He raised his head and took a sip, savoring the mellow taste of the plasma - this was one of the few treasures shipped from his private collection in Beijing's cold storage.
Drink one cup less.
As for why we don't "use local materials", we are really used to the treasures carefully raised on the Abraham Manor Farm, and it's hard to stomach the ones from other places.
It must be said that Walker has the greatest need for plasma among the elderly.
Just because of him, Abraham's estate had to be "replenished" from outside every week.
Someone once reminded Walker that regular "eating" is the long-term solution, and excessive "overeating" will only destroy the balance of body functions and form an irreplaceable dependence on it.
Walker understands these principles.
However, being born into the Serpent clan, he seemed unable to resist these delicious and tempting things.
I also had regrets afterwards,
The next time, everything was the same, but it also made his character become more twisted and violent.
Dong dong dong—!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
What came in was a guard from the guardroom of the Prime Minister's residence, carrying an antique square box in his hand.
A young girl at the front desk of the hotel followed the guard step by step. After entering the room, she raised her head and glanced around secretly from the corner of her eye before quickly looking away.
After entering the door, the guard in black stood respectfully in front of the old man Walker and placed the square box in his hand on the coffee table near the floor-to-ceiling window.
Pressing the hidden button, the box's mechanism opened, and a sharp inch of light instantly reflected on Walker's face.
The old man Walker smiled and walked closer to take a closer look. He turned to look at the heavily patterned sharp knife lying in the box with a half-smile, and said softly, "Is this what your Prime Minister calls a thank-you gift?"
The guard in black knew what kind of respected status the old man in front of him had. Although he heard the joking in his tone, he still respectfully winked at the young girl next to him.
The young girl quickly took a step forward. Her tone was a little nervous at first, but her good professionalism made her calm down quickly. In a clear voice, she explained the origin and name of this Kyoto supreme sharp sword, one of the twelve swords.
The Lion King.
This famous sword was forged by the famous Kyoto craftsman Kamado Smelting and refined the meteorite iron. The blade is slender, the waist is protruding, the tip is in the shape of "Fu Xin", and the pattern of "Lions roaring under the moon" is printed under the sword.
However, at this moment, Old Man Walker's eyes were quickly attracted by the black paint on the handle, scabbard and metal components of this large sharp knife, and a look of interest gradually appeared on his face.
That's not "black" in the ordinary sense.
It is more like a devil's blade drawn from the abyss. If you look carefully, you can even see the black air slowly leaking out of the scabbard.
"This is."
The guard in black nodded. Although he did not understand the meaning of the word, he still said solemnly, "As you can see, this is a 'magic tool'!"
When he heard the word 'magic tool', the wrinkles on the old man's face suddenly bloomed like wild chrysanthemums, revealing a very happy smile.
He walked over gently and took out the knife. In an instant, it was like a gap was opened in the dam.
An endless stream of black air spread out like a surge in an instant, and the surrounding air peeled off and twisted.
The young girl standing aside to explain was immediately dumbfounded. She took a step back almost subconsciously, and stared with horror at the blade in the old man's hand that looked like a demon escaping from a cage.
Her prior knowledge of this "magic tool" Lion King was limited to the owner of the Momo Palace Dojo in Kyoto. It fell into the hands of the Judgment Division and then passed into the hands of the Metropolitan Police Department before finally appearing in front of the old man in front of her.
.
I thought it was just a big sharp knife, but I didn't expect to see such a weird scene.
It was as if the sword in front of her suddenly came to life, and she could even hear a vigorous and powerful heartbeat in her ears, as well as an urgent desire for blood, as if she wanted to choose someone to devour. This idea immediately frightened the young girl herself.
A jump!
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
How could a sword come to life?
"Yeah, it's good, it's really good."
At this time, the old man Walker gently stroked the sword with a very cherished expression on his face, as if he was stroking something very kind. He murmured to himself, "You are very destined to me.
Are you the same as me, eager for fresh blood?"
The guard in black felt a little awe-struck when he saw the old man couldn't put it down, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
As the personal bodyguard of the Prime Minister, he certainly knew that the respected old man from Shangjing in front of him was the final guest of honor at tonight's dinner at the Prime Minister's residence.
It is also a "boost" prepared by the Prime Minister for those chaebols and aristocratic families from Wano tonight.
Now that the old man is satisfied, it means that at least things tonight will not go wrong.
It's just that the turbid eyes of this old man with green vertical pupils, like dead fish eyes, are really too weird. When the guard in black saw that there was nothing wrong with him this time, he immediately bowed respectfully and said:
"The Prime Minister must be very happy that you will like the gifts we have prepared. The banquet tonight is waiting for your arrival. I believe you will return home satisfied after the dinner."
After saying that, the black-clothed guard winked at the young girl at the front desk of the hotel who was a little frightened by the strange scene in front of him.
The young girl who was looking at a loss suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been granted amnesty. She quickly tied her hands in front of her body and bowed respectfully. She lowered her head and ran quickly towards the black-clothed guard.
Unexpectedly, the two of them turned around and just walked to the door of the suite. The old man behind them said a light word, but the young girl with lingering fear on her face suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave!
"You go,
She stayed."
The young girl froze in place with her back to the old man, not daring to make any sound.
He just bit his thin lips and looked at the guard in the guard room of the Prime Minister and Prime Minister with a pleading look.
She didn't speak.
But those mist-covered eyes were clearly saying three words.
Help me!
The young girl sensed danger.
It's not a danger in the ordinary sense, it's a life-threatening fear of "predators".
The guard in black was also stunned for a moment!
As the person in the guard room next to the Prime Minister, this man in his thirties was only tasked with delivering this gift to the big shots coming to Beijing this afternoon.
He doesn't need to take care of other things.
He can't control it either.
But the young girl at the front desk of the hotel in front of him, from the first moment they met, he felt that she looked like his sister from his hometown in Kagoshima. When she smiled, her eyes looked like crescent moons.
There is only one elevator in the Tianren Hotel that goes directly to the penthouse suite. When he got on the elevator, the smiling girl was kind enough to help him complete the complicated check-in procedures at the front desk and block the elevator, otherwise he might have missed the scheduled visit.
But now.
The man in the guard room of the Prime Minister felt a deep sense of powerlessness and frustration in his heart.
Facing the cry for help from the smiling young girl who had just helped me, he twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end, nothing was said.
I couldn't even turn my head away.
He just silently took heavy steps and walked out the door. Looking at the despair-filled eyes of the girl behind him, he turned his head cruelly to avoid the other party's gaze and closed the door of the penthouse suite.
