This pirate is not too cold

Chapter 171 The Ghost Blows the Lamp

It was as if God had heard Walpo's prayer.

After Karl left for the second time, he did not return again, nor did he go to other places to ask for treasures.

The palace of the Iron Barrel Kingdom is very large, and it is not the dilapidated castle that will be in the next ten years.

In order to please the Shichibukai as much as possible, Walpo ordered someone to prepare a high-end room for Carl and Cirno, which was second only to Walpo's own bedroom in terms of luxury.

In Cirno's bedroom, Karl is discussing today's harvest and next plan with Cirno.

"Brother Karl, are you planning to 'eat him, play with him, take what he has, and just don't do things for him'? But I don't think that's very good."

Except for two or three pieces of jewelry worn on the neck and wrists that were not deliberately taken off, most of the treasures were placed on the table by Cirno.

The little girl didn't seem to be interested in these treasures, as if what was placed there was not some precious treasure, but something very ordinary like a paper, pen, and water cup.

A woman who has no interest in diamonds and precious jewelry?
Karl was surprised that there were not many women among them.

But he didn't get too entangled in this matter, because Robin is also a woman who doesn't care much about treasures. In this world, Cirno's behavior is quite normal.

"What's the matter Qi Lunuo? Are you a little impatient?"

Recalling Valbona's back that seemed to have aged several years in an instant, most people would definitely feel a little pity.

This kind of sentiment has nothing to do with the so-called "Holy Mother", he is just an instinct of "sympathizing with the weak" in the human emotional world.

But Carl is no ordinary person...

Cirno shook his head: "No, how could I not bear to deal with such a big villain? It's just that if we blindly emptied his treasury, he has every reason to sue us to the World Government.

Brother Carl, you are the Shichibukai, you can't just attack the countries that are members of the World Government. If that happens, won't you be in trouble? "

"So I'm not done enough? Then we're going to implement the second plan!" Carl smiled, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Plan [-]?" Qi Lunuo's eyes lit up, and she leaned close to Carl's side to listen.

"Chessman, I'm going to sleep. Tell that idiot Dalton that the king needs to take a good rest today, and ask him to guard closely to ensure the safety of the king. If those two people have any weird actions, they must Report to this king as soon as possible. Ha...I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep first."

Walpo yawned, and waved his hand to signal the chess pieces and others to retreat.

In this snow-covered castle all year round, on this cold night, most of the people had already gone to sleep, only Dalton led a few unlucky guards and was still in charge of security patrols.

In this country without electricity, night falls very early.

The lights in Karl and Cirno's room had already been extinguished early, and the oil lamps in most of the rooms in the castle were also extinguished. Only Walpo's bedroom still had a few oil lamps that flickered on and off.

"Hiss...it's so cold!"

Following Dalton's side, several soldiers were shivering with cold.

"Master Walpo is really too, to ask Captain Dalton to be in charge of patrolling every time, this is too bullying!"

"Hey, you guys don't talk nonsense. As the captain of the king's guard, it is our job to ensure the safety of the king. The king entrusted us with this important job because he trusts... who?! "

Dalton was speaking impassionedly to his subordinates, when suddenly, he saw a black shadow flashing by under the silver moonlight.

"Meow……"

A clear meowing sound came from the shadows, and the tense soldiers were startled: "Oh, it's a cat, it really scared me to death."

"...No, why is there a cat in the castle?" Dalton thought about it in fear, and ran towards the direction of the cat's meowing: "You all come with me, there is something wrong with this cat!"

"Meow……"

But the meowing kept coming from a place not far from Dalton, as if the cat in the dark was not afraid of humans, but was playing with them.

"This cat runs so fast!"

Everyone was curious.

Obviously, every time I feel that I am getting closer to this cat, but why does this cat suddenly appear in another corner?
"Let's go find it separately!" Dalton, who had been searching for a long time but failed, felt a little anxious.

"Why do you want to split up? Can't you just follow the voice and find it?"

The soldiers didn't have Dalton's courage and uprightness, and they didn't want to separate and act alone.

This strange cat playing with humans under the moonlight in the dark night reminded them of all kinds of legends they heard from the adults at home.

"My grandma once said that there is a kind of resentful cat in this world, which is transformed from the souls and resentments of those who died unjustly. It has black hair and dark red or blue pupils. Especially when there are people playing tricks on the night of the full moon, there are some ferocious wraith cats that can even eat people."

Everyone was terrified when they heard this.

Looking up, I found that although tonight is not a full moon night, it is not too much. The moonlight shines on the snow, which is covered in white.

"Meow..."

It was as if the fierce and miserable cry of cats suddenly sounded from behind everyone when they were fighting!

Everyone looked back, in the shadow at the base of the wall, a black figure with the outline of a cat was slowly approaching here, especially the pair of bright red pupils in front of the black figure, as if from the bloodthirsty hell Like a wraith!
"Oh my god, what a cat demon! How did he appear here?!" Someone yelled, and Sa Yazi turned around and ran away.

"Everyone, don't panic!" Dalton tried to calm everyone's emotions, but he found that it had no effect on Ben.

A bean-sized drop of cold sweat fell on his forehead, and Dalton activated the ability of the Niu Niu Fruit, and heroically rushed in the direction of the "cat demon".

On the other side, Walpo, who hadn't slept soundly at all, was also agitated by the soldiers' shouts: "What happened?"

In a daze, Walpo seemed to see a shadow smiling at him.

He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to take a breath.

I saw a terrifying ghost floating in mid-air slowly wandering in my bedroom.

The terrifying ghost first smiled kindly to himself, then it floated faintly near an oil lamp, and blew out the candle in the lampshade in one breath!
