Codex Pirates

Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Nine

In the next few months, William has been paying attention to military and political work. His armed forces in other places have been patrolling the country recently to ensure that there will be no trouble when the army reforms. He has devoted himself to work and is busy all day long. Continuously rotating, it can be called a waste of sleep and food.

That night, William's manor was brightly lit.

William was immersing himself in instructing documents and preparing to allocate funds for the newly established "Five Business Offices" to build a site. At this time, he heard an attendant officer from the attendant's room knocking on his door. After receiving his consent, the attendant officer walked away solemnly. near the house.

"My lord, the call is from Shuangyue Village."

William frowned, and took the phone bug from the officer's hand.

Just saw this small and magical creature, vividly expressing the anxiety of the person on the other end of the phone:

"My lord, something happened in Yixin Dojo."

...

Shuangyue Village, Yixin Dojo, the whole dojo was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

Guina is dead.

The cause of death was quite unreal. She fell to her death from the stairs while she was trying to sharpen the knife.

This method of death, for a talented girl swordsman who has learned swords for many years and is no match for many adults in the dojo, is really very black humorous.

Since Sauron heard the news of Kuina's death, he seemed to have lost his soul. He was out of his mind all day long, feeling empty in his heart. He felt that it was because he would never be able to win back after two thousand failures. Kuina became a hurdle on his road to being a swordsman. Even if he defeated the strongest swordsman and countless people In the future, he will still have to bear the name of Kuina's defeated general to live.

But subconsciously, Sauron felt that it was not that simple. When Kuina died, Sauron faintly felt that this girl was not just an opponent to him.

The other peers in the dojo are also in a very low mood. No matter what they usually say, the excellent and powerful girl swordsman Kuina is still a beautiful landscape in the boring training on weekdays, and everyone in this dojo cares for her. flowers.

Kuina's funeral was held in a hurry, and Zoro didn't know why Koshiro did this. Before the students in the dojo even had time to accept the fact, Kuina's body had already been covered in a coffin and buried in the soil.

On the second day, Sauron plucked up the courage to find Koshiro, and asked him to hand over Kuina's sword "Hedo Ichimonji" to him, so that Kuina, an enemy and friend, could see him in the spirit of heaven. Defeat one enemy after another.

Koshiro hesitated at first and refused, but after Zoro's repeated requests, he finally agreed.

Shuangyue Village has been shrouded in continuous drizzle for the past few days. This kind of weather has also affected the students in the dojo. Some emotional students said that it was because even God couldn't bear to see Kuina leave like this. A group of people Even learning swords doesn't have much energy. In contrast, Koshiro, who is Kuina's father, and some adults in the dojo, such as Pattinson, who has been with Koshiro all the year round and has a beard, are not like other students. Just as sad.

However, these students did not have any doubts. They felt that this was Mr. Koshiro's quality as a master of swordsmanship. He would not show sadness in front of outsiders and affect the students. Moreover, as an adult, he was naturally more mature than other teenagers and children.

Seeing such a situation, Koshiro decided to let these students rest for two days to sort out their mood.

In a room in the courtyard, Koshiro's old smile disappeared. He was dazed looking at the rain outside, and said after a long time, "William will be here soon."

Behind him, Pattinson, who was kneeling in the shadows, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said pretending to be disapproving: "So what if he comes? He is no longer a student of the dojo!"

"William is not someone who cares about such status, don't you understand?" Koshiro sighed.

Pattinson said disapprovingly: "Then you don't need to bury Kuina in such a hurry, it may arouse others' suspicion."

Koshiro knew something about Pattinson's psychology, and said softly: "If the burial is not done as soon as possible, with William's personality, he will definitely want to see Kuina's body. In fact, even now, I am worried that William will dig up Kuina's body." grave."

"He dares!" Pattinson snorted coldly, "We are not the child thieves he met at sea."

Koshiro looked back at Pattinson's attitude and shook his head.

To live in peace and happiness is the quality of a saint.

Although Pattinson has been with Koshiro for so many years and knows a lot about himself, Koshiro dare not say that Pattinson has such qualities.

Pattinson was here when William, Edmund and others first stepped into the dojo. He saw the young man who had to be punished under his stick, obediently accepted the admonition, obediently learned swordsmanship, and had to be punished under his anger. He has become a hero, whether it is the current Koshiro or the leader of the revolutionary army at the time, they all look up to him, but he is still behind Koshiro, guarding such a small dojo.

Pattinson, who is not young, wants to maintain a sense of normalcy without any imbalance. It is not so easy.

Pattinson faintly resists this reality in his heart, that is, he and Koshiro have to pay attention to it now, and even a little afraid of the power that the young boy in the dojo had now.

The teenager who was instructed by Pattinson in the dojo, William, Akin, Aramis, Edmond and others, are no longer rookies who need to be looked down upon by him, but big men who gradually look down on him.

Especially Edmond, before the arrival of William and his group, Edmond was just a laughingstock among the people in the dojo, but now, Edmond has become famous, and his bragging when he was young has also become extraordinary among people. A person with extraordinary ambitions, a talent with lofty aspirations at a very young age, Pattinson and other people in the ashram who laughed at him at the beginning, have naturally become the buffoons that people say they don't know Taishan, to set off William's insightful eyes Ruju.

Seeing Pattinson's appearance, Koshiro could only sigh and said:

"Hopefully there will be no conflict."

...

Two days later, it was still rainy, and the pier of Frostmoon Village was occupied by a fleet. The ships that were squeezed out of the pier dared not speak out, because the flag hanging on the mast of the fleet had a The smiling skull is the well-known "Morgan Pirates" in the Kingdom of Navia, and even in the entire East China Sea.

In the Yixin Dojo, in the courtyard, the children who were originally training in the hall of the house all squeezed to the edge of the gate, looking out of the courtyard nervously and worriedly.

There, I don't know how many strong men in black suits, with sturdy faces, standing with their hands down in the drizzle, vaguely surrounding the entire dojo.

Also wearing a black suit with a small flower on his chest, Edmond with wet red hair, and Aramis, who had lost his usual smile, approached the hall unceremoniously to avoid the rain, and dispersed the students by the door.

Sauron seemed a little angry at their domineering, and wanted to go forward to argue, but was pulled away by his companions.

At this time, the atmosphere in the backyard of the dojo was even more tense than in the courtyard, because William, the main messenger who brought these people here, was sitting here.
