NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 308
1322 year of the calendar.
second half of the Great Passage, Torrance Island, Sleeping Ancient Town.
Sephiroth, wearing a black suit, two long knives pinned to his waist, and long hair with a silver shawl, with a handsome and enchanting face, slowly fell from the sky, retracted his black wings behind his back, and stood at the door of an ancient white church.
pedestrians on the road, for this silver-haired young man who fell from the sky, they only glanced at it a few times, did not look more, and continued to busy themselves with the things at hand.
Devil Fruit ability is not unusual in the Great Passage, so ordinary people here have a very high ability to accept certain strange phenomena and things, and it can even be said that they are not strange.
Torrance Island, which is not one of the three shipping routes in the second half of the Great Passage.
Because this island is poor in resources and does not have any special products, the residents of the sleeping ancient town living on this island are not rich, even poor, and even pirates do not like to visit here.
However, on this island, there are ancient historical sites, and some words that ordinary people cannot understand are engraved on them, which makes this island a little mysterious.
Sephiroth stood in the doorway of the old white church with a thoughtful expression on his face.
It took a while before he strode into the church, where the doors were open inward, and passed the rows of wooden seats.
Tap-! Tread-! Tread-!
Sephiroth’s feet in black leather shoes stepped on the stone floor of the church, causing a little echo in the empty church.
At the end of the church hall, under a huge wooden cross, stood a middle-aged priest in a black robe with short silver hair, who turned to look at Sephiros after hearing footsteps.
the silver-haired priest smiled and said in a very gentle tone:
> “Young man, you look strange!”
You’re a foreigner, right? ”
“That’s right… I came here from a very distant place. < p idx="17"> Sephiroth nodded, sat down in the front wooden seat, and stared at the cross in front of him.
“Did you pass by by chance or come to explore treasure…?” The priest asked casually.
“Adventure Treasure Hunt?”
Is there any legendary treasure here? ”
“Hahaha! I don’t really know about this!
It’s just that we have a lot of ancient ruins on this island, so occasionally some pirates or adventurers come here to find out if there is any treasure. ”
“Oh! Is that so? < p idx="24"> Sephiroth nodded, then he asked another question: “25”> “This church looks very old!”
How long has it been around…? ”
Hearing this, the silver-haired priest thought for a while before he spoke:
28″> “It’s about six hundred years!”
“Hmm! It’s been a long time….
However, I am somewhat curious, why was this church built here?
After all, the island is not a large area and does not seem to be inhabited by many people, so it does not seem to be a good place to spread the faith! ”
“Hahaha! Indeed, you really hit the nail on the head. The
silver-haired priest smiled > < idx="33", and then he said in a slightly ethereal tone: "34" > “Hmm! I heard, a long, long time ago….
There was a very powerful demon in this world, he was bloodthirsty and cruel, and he ruled many islands with his strength and power….
ambitious man, he vainly tried to rule the whole world, and on this sea, set off a bloody storm, bringing endless disasters and wars to the world.
So those who wanted to rebel against him came together, worked together to kill him, and buried him on the island.
However….
Although the demon has been killed by everyone, his will is still alive.
So, so that this demon would not be resurrected and bring disaster and war to the world, people built a church on this island to suppress the will of the devil. ”
“So it is, this is really a profound story!” Sephiroth suddenly realized.
the silver-haired priest said with a smile in a slightly mocking tone:
”
Hahaha! Legends, after all, are just legends!
whether it is true or not, it has long been impossible to investigate…
” Between the two of them, a faint to undetectable black fog burrowed into the tip of the silver-haired priest’s nose, causing his consciousness to appear in a trance,
“Legend!”
sometimes, it’s not just a legend! ”
Sephiroth chuckled and shook his head, stood up and pulled out the butcher knife at his waist.
he walked up to the giant cross and gently swung his pitch-black butcher knife towards the ground, cutting a spatial door above the ground.
click!
As Sephiros gently raised his foot, the door of the space opened, and a pitch-black secret room space appeared in front of his eyes.
squeak-!
a group of black bats split out from his body, condensed a bat doppelganger exactly like his body, and stepped into the dark secret room….
After a while, the bat doppelganger walked out with a small locked bronze box in both hands, and handed it to him.
after Sephiroth recovered the bat doppelganger, he used the butcher knife in his hand to directly split the bronze lock on the bronze box, which had already rusted.
Immediately, a round devil fruit with a purple-red skin covered with spiral patterns came into his eyes.
this devil fruit, Sephiros can be said to be too familiar to be familiar!
its name: IDX=”59″> Fauna, Phantom Bat Fruit, Vampire Form!
“…”
Sephiroth looked at the vampire fruit in front of him, and he couldn’t help but fall into a long silence.
after repeatedly confirming that this thing had been calling him, he sighed a little helplessly, opened the carry-on space, and put this devil fruit in.
then he turned and left the old white church and stood on the street.
Sephiroth raised his head slightly, dying in the clear sky, he whispered:
”
This is fate… Or what? < P idx="66"> after a while, he chuckled and said: ”
No!” It’s just a botched story! ”
After speaking, his back opened black wings, and with him flapping his wings hard, his whole person was like an off-string arrow, directly rushing into the sky….
