One Piece Codex

Levi was rushing home, his expression far less relaxed than in front of Lorna just now.

Girod wants to attack his father, one is a powerful noble prince, and the other is just a dispensable commander of the reserve army.The king had to choose between the two, and the result was obvious.

At least that's what Levi thinks.

We do not rule out the possibility that Mads is very powerful and has few opponents in the kingdom, but if he is not afraid of thieves stealing, he is afraid that thieves will miss him. If he is unprepared, he can easily be attacked successfully.

The most urgent task is to tell Mads all the conspiracy.

"I am back."

When Levi opened the door and walked into the home, he saw Nanako in the kitchen.

Nanako is researching "flower tea" and heard that tea made with jasmine can relieve fatigue. She plans to make a cup of afternoon tea for Mads and Levi.

"Welcome back, Levi."

Putting down the tea bag, Nanako smiled softly.

"Nanako, where is Madhus?"

Levi looked around and found that Nanako was the only one at home.

Nanako: "He said the vacation is over and he has to go back first."

When he goes back, he naturally returns to the palace and resumes his duties.After hearing this, Li Wei secretly thought that something was not good, it would be better if he could come back soon.

"What's wrong? Levi, is there something important?"

Nanako asked confused.

She had brought up Levi, and the subtle expression changes on her son's face were often hidden from a mother.

Levi didn't want Nanako to worry, so he had to explain:

"Well, there is something very important. I have encountered some cultivation problems and I want to ask him for advice."

"That's right, but he didn't say when he would come back." Nanako suddenly realized, "But if you are in a hurry, you can go to the palace to see him in the name of visiting."

Luruta's palace is very strict both in terms of guards and systems. Generally, idlers do not have the right to enter the palace, but it is not impossible to enter.

There is an unwritten rule that if the family members of officials working in the palace want to visit relatives, they generally need to submit a greeting card in advance to the nobles who have good relations with them in the palace in the name of visiting.

In the past, Nanako's usual excuse for taking Levi to the palace was to visit Earl Williams.

A man with a Chinese character face and a full beard.

[Luruta] is just a small kingdom, without marquises or dukes.Apart from the royal family, the largest noble is the earl.And Earl Williams also has a title outside, which is far more resounding than his status as Earl.

——King's Army, Commander.

Li Wei pondered for a moment and said:

"Nanako, don't worry. It's not urgent. I will go to the palace myself if necessary."

Nanako smiled and said: "Then let me know when you go and help me bring some tea to your father and Williams."

"Okay, then you have to be more prepared. Whatever Nanako does, they never have too little."

Nanako responded happily, obviously very impressed by her son's praise, and then began to study her afternoon tea.

Levi pretended to be relaxed and joking, but in his heart he was relieved that he had hidden it from Nanako.

Nanako cannot be said to be a weak woman with no strength, but she is definitely not as good as those extremely vicious guys.There was no need to worry her into this trouble again.

[It seems that I have to go to the palace...]

There is also an unlucky second prince who acts as a buffer, so things are not yet irreversible.Therefore, Levi was not in a hurry.After all, Girod couldn't transform into a werewolf, and his bones certainly weren't as strong as bullets.

······

The next morning.

Li Wei arrived at the gate of the palace.

Entering the palace required a complicated process. Li Wei handed the invitation to the guard and left.He didn't want to stand at the door waiting for notification, so he planned to come back in the afternoon.

Not long after, a figure appeared not far from the tree house, it was Levi.

He stopped outside the house and did not go in immediately. Instead, he turned on the color perception and confirmed that there was only one person next to the desk before knocking on the door.

Boom, boom.

"Rona, it's me."

Inside the room, Lorna was holding a travel diary and looking at it intently.

A sudden knock on the door made her subconsciously reach out to touch the iron pipe beside her, but when she heard it was Levi, she hurriedly ran to open the door.

"Had breakfast?"

Levi walked into the house and asked casually, and as he spoke, he unloaded the bulging bag on his back on the ground.

"have eaten."

Lorna replied carefully.

In fact, she didn't eat, including last night.

"That's a shame. I wonder if you'd like these for lunch."

Levi took out two long loaves of bread wrapped in oil paper from his bag, and also took out a bottle of fresh milk.He brought these with him on the way here and kept them warm.

Faced with the tempting aroma of baking bread, Lorna swallowed.

"Thank you, thank you."

The house was cleaned very clean and everything was neatly placed in its place.The only difference was the two pieces of clothes hanging on the branches outside the window.

Lorna: "What are you looking at?!"

Seeing Levi staring at her clothes, she felt a little irritable and a little aggrieved.This feeling is very strange, I have never felt it before.

Levi was a little confused and looked at Lorna up and down.

[Hmm...it looks pretty good-looking. 】

"It's nothing, I just think what you wear looks just right."

Not only are they about the same age, but they are also about the same height, and Lorna's clothes fit her perfectly.

"Ah, oh," Lorna was stunned. When she heard Levi's praise, she looked at her nose and her nose, "Thank you."

Levi, on the other hand, didn't notice Lorna's strange look at all. He rummaged through the bag again and pulled out two pistols and a box of ammunition.

Yes, two flintlock pistols.

The technology tree of this world seems to be a bit skewed. There are obviously advanced civilian technologies such as refrigerators, microwave ovens, and electric lights, but the level of weapons such as firearms seems to be still before the industrial revolution.

Levi handed one of them to Lorna.

"If you want to kill Girod, just an iron rod is not enough. At the critical moment, this guy is still reliable."

Lorna was stunned as she took the cold, heavy pistol into her hands. What Levi said yesterday flashed through her mind, and she immediately tightened her grip on the gun.They are now in a cooperative relationship, and there is no need to differentiate between you and me in achieving our goals.

Levi was very satisfied with Lorna's performance.

An indecisive person is not fit to assassinate a prince.The plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and now he couldn't contact Mads. He needed to arrange some things in advance.

First, teach this kid how to use a gun.

Levi: "Before teaching you how to use a gun, there is something I must confirm."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn under the low voice, and Lorna looked at Levi in ​​confusion.

"Assassinating a prince is tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife." Levi stepped closer. With his back against the window, he formed a shadow on Lorna's face. "Lona, life is neither long nor short. In fact, there are still many opportunities. But if you take this step with me——

You may die. "

Quiet……

"I'm not afraid of death."

Lorna faced Levi bravely, her eyes full of determination.

"I'm not afraid of death, as long as I can kill that damn beast!"

A black-purple flame bloomed in the depths of the soul again, and Levi knew very well that she was telling the truth.

Levi: "Can I ask, what was your reason for killing Girod?"

"He killed my only relative." Lorna said concisely.

It was obviously a matter of sworn hatred, but she had no expression when she said this, and her tone was terrifyingly calm.

"Feel sorry……"

Another moment of silence...

After a long time, Levi sighed and said:

"I will not guarantee your life safety, but I can guarantee that Girod will not live long."

After saying that, he closed his eyes, and under Lorna's gaze, shot out the window with his backhand. The sparrows on the branches spattered bright blood with the "bang" sound of the gunshot.

"For two days at most, you must be proficient in using a pistol, and the accuracy must be at least as good as the gun you just shot. Now we start training."
