〖More than two months later–〗
Outside Nine Snakes City, in the woods, Lin Qi was still practicing every day.
……
Since Robin developed a new type of flower clone move, Lynch has been able to practice together with Robin.
Robin’s training goal is to continuously improve the potential of the “Flower” or “Flower Cook” she summons, so that the combat effectiveness that can be exerted will continue to approach the theoretical limits of Lynch and Hancock themselves.
That is, Robin himself continues to improve his proficiency in operating special flower clones.
By the way, because the name of this special flower clone involves other people, not only Robin himself, but also Snake Princess Tulip and the three sisters of the Boya family are also enthusiastic (Hancock does not admit it) How enthusiastic she was) submitted articles, and even Bonnie mentioned a few alternatives…
In the end, Robin calmly adopted Lynch’s suggestion and named this move – “He spends his time”.
A very strange word creation.
But it’s very Lynchian, so Robin likes it.
The best way to improve his operational proficiency is of course actual combat.
Therefore, in the past two months, when Lynch and Robin had free time, they practiced together – Robin summoned a Huaqi or Hua Ku, or multiple Hua Qi and Hua Ku , besieging Lynch alone, or besieging Lynch with a B.I.B. However, Robin’s main “summoned beast” is Hua Qi. After all, if Hua Qi is summoned for practice, the transmission of consciousness will cause trouble to Hua Qi’s body.
Besides, Hua Cook’s upper limit of strength cannot keep up with Hua Qi’s.
When it is impossible to copy Hancock’s Medusa Fruit, and Hancock’s charming appearance aura is not needed, it is easier to just summon Huaqi.
Lin Qi himself has benefited a lot from this way of practice.
Although Robin can’t use the full power of his “Takka Freedom”, those clones are still him after all! Even under Robin’s rough control, the pressure caused by the combined attack was very strong.
With his own strength, he was able to help Lin Qi practice, and Robin was very happy about this.
At the same time, my own strength is constantly being honed and improved in the process, which is even more satisfying.
Although Robin is not a warrior type of person and does not enjoy the so-called thrill of fighting, no one would hate this feeling of constantly improving oneself.
……
But in the past half month, Robin has spent less and less time practicing with Lin Qi.
Lynch and his stand-in B.I.B practice alone.
One practices domineering, and occasionally wonders what the so-called flowing cherry blossoms are all about; one hone the six postures, improves life return, and hypnosis. Even if the hypnosis technique is not practiced very much, as the life return ability improves, the effect of hypnosis is also It’s slowly getting better, and the speed of hypnotizing others is getting shorter and shorter.
Robin didn’t show up today either.
Lynch has released B.I.B for more than a week, and there is a difference in cultivation between him and the substitute for more than a week. At this time, they are sparring with each other in the woods after a long absence.
With their current fighting power, they were destroying everything they passed, and trees were constantly being broken and smashed.
While practicing, suddenly the birds in the forest started to frighten, and the sound of bells came from the tall walls of Nine Snakes City not far away.
When…
Lin Qi and B.I.B stopped at the same time and looked in the direction of Nine Snakes City across the city wall.
They all felt that when the first bell rang, countless auras in Nine Snakes City stood frozen in place, stunned for a moment.
Lin Qi felt it carefully.
Even if her condition worsens day by day, She Ji’s breath strength has always been stronger than that of ordinary people.
From what B.I.B saw, the aura belonging to Snake Princess could no longer be found in the direction of the palace.
When…
When…
The bells in Nine Snakes City are ringing every now and then, and the citizens of Amazon Lily all know the meaning of this bell.
She Ji passed away.
………………
Half a month ago, She Ji’s condition became more and more serious. As the princess of Nine Snakes, Robin spent more and more time by She Ji’s bedside.
Lynch occasionally visits. But he is a man after all, and to be honest, Lynch and Snake Princess Tulip have no special friendship except for the bond of Princess Nine Snakes.
Lin Qi really can’t say much about She Ji Tulip. So although it is a pity that a strong person like Snake Princess Tulip, like Super Saiyan Sun Wukong, like Pirate King Roger, like one strong person after another, slowly fell in front of the disease, Lin Qi could only let her Go ahead.
In the past half month, Robin silently stayed by She Ji’s bedside. Watching this woman who was very kind to her, an elder who cared for her, getting weaker day by day, Robin’s mood also became depressed. .
Perhaps due to the symptoms of lovesickness, She Ji speaks less and less. When she first contracted the disease, she was very much like the flu with a cold and high fever, but recently, She Ji, whose condition has worsened, began to feel very happy and extremely depressed at times. The only thing they have in common is that no matter whether she is happy or depressed, she is increasingly closing herself in her own world.
When she was happy, she would smile to herself on her sick and haggard face, and talk happily in the deserted air. Robin could tell that she seemed to be talking to the non-existent Drago and Luffy.
When she was depressed, she curled up on the hospital bed, saying nothing, not even eating a grain of rice. She often stared at the air and shed tears silently.
But there are also moments of sobriety.
However, Robin couldn’t tell whether he still wanted to see Snake Princess’s rare moment of clarity amidst the torment of her illness.
When She Ji is sick, whether it is the closed joy or the depression of autism, Robin can comfort herself that she is just sick; but when She Ji briefly regains consciousness, or is in a trance and cannot distinguish reality. and fantasy, or after realizing what happened, although Robin did not show it violently, Robin could tell from the profile of her face when she occasionally stared blankly at the young Nine Snake warriors on the training field in the distance outside the window, she slowly Feeling sad that I was not that strong in the first place, and became more and more fragile under the torment of the disease.
Surrounded by the surge of negative emotions, She Ji gradually did not even resist the onset of the disease. Perhaps she was indulging in the illusion of lovesickness and false beauty, and would not see her own embarrassment in reality.
There is no need to see the disappointment in Hancock’s eyes. That stung Snake Girl.
There has never been a terminal illness that allowed people to die with dignity.
Snake, and perhaps Hancock, realized this belatedly.
Perhaps that’s why the old woman Suzuran was so sad when she saw She Ji suffering from lovesickness. Suzuran once saw with her own eyes that her beloved late emperor, the strongest female warrior of the previous generation of Nine Snakes, became weaker and weaker, more and more embarrassed, and more and more lose her dignity due to the ravages of the disease, and finally looked like a fragile wretch. .
“Ahem!”
She Ji, who was seriously ill, lost weight and had a sickly blush on her face. She held Robin’s hand and her eyes were in a trance.
Behind Robin, Hancock stood. She looked condescendingly at Snake Princess on the hospital bed, and said expressionlessly: “It’s really disappointing to be in such a mess! Are you still qualified to call yourself the emperor of Nine Snakes? ”
The maids in the palace lowered their heads solemnly, not daring to raise their heads. Suddenly they heard Hancock’s order: “Get out of here.”
“Yes.” The maids hurriedly left the palace.
Robin held Snake Girl’s hand and looked up to see Hancock raising his fingers and twirling his black hair around the city.
Hancock said to Robin expressionlessly: “Don’t look at me.”
Hancock picked off a long black hair and wrapped it around his slender finger. The end of the black hair suddenly transformed into a thin black snake, and he hissed a message with his last breath of life.
Not long after, Hancock took Princess Xu Lun out of the palace.
Princess Xu Lun said to the maids at the door: “She Ji passed away.”
Of course the maids knew that there would be such an ending, but they were still inevitably sad.
“I will sort out Lady Snake’s remains,” Robin said softly, “You go and inform the others and prepare for the funeral.”
Hancock walked out of the palace alone and came to a rarely visited clock tower outside. The surface of the ancient bronze clock was covered with dust. Hancock pressed his palm heavily on the clock, shaking up the dust and knocking the clock back.
“When——”
The first bell rang, the sound was vast, distant and loud, spreading throughout every corner of Nine Snakes City.
The Nine Snake woman who picked up the fishing net by the river stayed where she was;
The soldiers protecting the country in the watchtower at the city gate looked sadly towards the direction of the palace;
On the training ground, the young warriors were at a loss. They had never heard such a bell, and they did not even know that such a bell existed in Nine Snakes City;
“When…”
“When…”
The bells echoed in every corner of houses, farmhouses, hunting grounds, and Nine Snakes City.
