Outside the open space of High Tower, Maya, who had been waiting all night with three Jewel in her arms, had already nodded her head and dozed off, but suddenly a loud bang woke her up.
The towering High Tower in front of us was filled with cracks along with the sound. After the cracks were filled, it suddenly collapsed, stirring up dust all over the sky.
Just when Maya was shocked by this sudden change.
"Ahem." Luo Ya coughed and waved Ryujin Jakka to cut away the huge stone on his head, walked out from the rubble, and patted the dust on his body.
"Why did Army Breaker Tower fall? You really passed the test!" Maya's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Luo Ya in shock as he walked out of the ruins and asked in disbelief.
"Why, do you think I will definitely die in there?" Luo Ya looked at Maya with evil eyes. It can be said that if Luo Ya had not participated in this trial, it was unknown whether Hawk-Eye could pass it.
In this trial, at least nine and a half out of ten other swordsmen would die. If it were another strong swordsman, there might still be hope of passing.
Not to mention others, at least if Kaido comes, there is a high chance that this green figure will be killed.
After all, swordsmen are too fragile.
Luo Ya has already decided in his heart that some old woman is planning to use this so-called trial to trick him to death.
After all, I had already planned to kill and rob Seven-Star Sword. I asked myself that if it were Luo Ya himself, I would definitely find a way to kill him.
"No, it's not." Maya quickly waved his hand to deny, picked up three purple balls and said.
"My mother-in-law said that it is very difficult for anyone to pass this test. You are the strongest swordsman on the island so far, so I let you try it."
"He also said that if you fail the trial, let me sacrifice Jewel to save you."
Luo Ya is a little doubtful. After all, there are still a few kind-hearted people in this world, not to mention that this kind of inheritance passed down many years ago is not Maya. No matter how they say it, Luo Ya doesn't believe a word of it when they told the old woman that they don't know the content and difficulty of the trial.
"Yes, it's true. If you fail the trial, my mother-in-law asked me to direct the power of Jewel to Seven-Star Tower. She said that this would allow you to escape from the trial directly."
"I'm in the tower, how can you tell if I'm still alive outside despite my failure?" Luo Ya raised his own question.
After all, although Maya behaves very kindly, there is a fatal flaw in her rhetoric.
Judging from the strength of the green figure, basically every swing of the sword results in death or injury. If you fail the trial, you will definitely die without a whole body. There is no option to fail.
"My mother-in-law said that if you fail the normal trial, you will die, but when the trial fails, Jewel will light up. At this time, you can use the power of Seven Stars of Asuka stored in Jewel to get you out of the trial."
"Furthermore, one Jewel is used to get you out of the trial, one can help you recover from your injuries, and you can be successfully treated even if you are cut in half during the trial. There is also one that Granny said can help you condense your sword intent."
Luo Ya nodded after hearing this. There was indeed no logical problem with this argument, but Luo Ya still didn't believe it. After all, the experience of being chopped into pieces by a figure was still vivid in his mind.
But then you just need to simply verify it.
Thinking of this, Luo Ya stretched out his hand to Maya to hand over the purple ball to him. Maya pouted and handed Jewel into Luo Ya's hand.
As soon as Jewel was held in Luo Ya's hand, a dazzling purple light lit up. As the light poured into Luo Ya's body, Jewel dimmed completely and turned like a stone.
And Luo Ya felt it carefully. After the purple light entered the body, Luo Ya felt refreshed all over his body, and his whole body felt unusually energetic. At the same time, the sword intent in his mind quickly condensed, and it was probably equivalent to about two-thirds of the amount required to pass the trial.
At this point, Luo Ya believed what Maya said, and thought to himself, "Sure enough, the legend that has survived the baptism of time cannot be underestimated. This so-called Jewel should be an artifact of the witch lineage that stores the power of Seven Stars of Asuka. Maybe the old lady still has some in stock."
In fact, the three Jewel are indeed containers for storing the power of Seven Stars of Asuka, but Luo Ya was wrong about one thing. There is no comparability between Jewel and Seven-Star Sword.
The power in Seven-Star Sword is endless and will never be exhausted like the so-called Jewel.
Of course, the improvement of the human body will definitely not have the same effect as Jewel. After all, the so-called Jewel is an inheritance artifact made by the first generation of miko imitating Seven-Star Sword specifically for the miko lineage.
And it is the power of the Seven Stars that has been absorbed and transformed over many years that can have the miraculous effects of condensing the sword's will and restoring injuries.
After seeing Luo Ya completely absorbing the power of a Jewel, Maya seemed to be emboldened and forgot about his ferocious appearance in the village.
"I'm not lying to you, I don't know the heart of a good person, just a little bit." As he said this, he opened the lower eyelid of his eye with one hand and stuck out his tongue at Luo Ya.
Luo Ya also scratched his head in embarrassment at this time and abruptly changed the subject.
"Let's go, it's already dawn and we're going to have breakfast." He said and walked towards the village first. Maya behind him stomped his feet angrily and followed the figure of Luo Ya.
As the two arrived at the village, smoke from the cooking pots floated over the village, bringing the aroma of food into Luo Ya's nose.
Luo Ya took out a cigarette, held it in his mouth, snapped his fingers and lit it.
Then Maya entered the old woman's house one after another.
Inside the house, the old lady seemed to have gotten up early, sitting on a chair and smoking her cigarette pipe leisurely.
As soon as he saw the old woman Maya quickly put three Jewel on the table, he stepped forward and hugged the old woman's arm and complained,
"Mother-in-law! This person said that we deliberately let him participate in the trial to harm him!" After speaking, he puffed up his cheeks and pointed at Luo Ya.
The old woman calmly smoked her pipe and said with a smile,
"Don't worry Maya, what happened last night?"
As Maya moved Luo Ya into High Tower, after one night High Tower collapsed and Luo Ya walked out of the ruins. He felt that they had bad intentions and later absorbed a Jewel.
The old woman smiled and puffed her cigarette bag, and asked Maya to go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. After seeing Maya enter the kitchen, she spoke to Luo Ya.
"I didn't expect you to actually pass the test. Originally, I just told you with the intention of letting you give it a try."
"Haha, this test is indeed a bit difficult."
"If it was easy to pass, our lineage wouldn't have been on the island for so many years, young man."
The old woman said as she picked up a Jewel and handed it to Luo Ya.
Luo Ya took Jewel with a puzzled look on his face. As early as at High Tower, Luo Ya was sure that the old woman did not deliberately want to trick him to death through the test, and he was a little confused.
There are so many people who have died after failing the test, why do they need to prepare this thing specifically to protect themselves?
After returning this time, he handed one to himself. Even if Jewel had no value, there was no reason to be so generous to the person he met for the first time.
What's more, the energy in Jewel can be said to be priceless, and the scene of their acquaintance was not pleasant. Luo Ya does not think that he has the domineering spirit of the protagonist. The tiger's body was so shocked that all geniuses immediately surrendered and rushed to give gifts.
Seeing the confusion on Luo Ya's face, the old woman smiled and explained,
"My old lady, it doesn't matter if I stay on this island for the rest of my life as I get older. But Maya is different, she is only seventeen years old."
"I can't watch her be trapped on this island for the rest of her life like me."
"Originally, I planned to take Seven-Star Sword away after you failed the test. After Seven-Star Sword left here, I sacrificed myself to completely destroy Seven-Star Tower."
"And I asked you, a big shot, to take care of my ignorant granddaughter when the time comes when you owe me a favor."
"Now, if you can pass the test, I will leave Maya with the power of Jewel for self-defense. I will treat this as my request. I hope you can take more care of this girl Maya in the future. She is kind-hearted and simple-minded, and she trusts others too easily."
Hearing this Luo Ya completely understood the old woman's intention, and the purple Jewel light in her hand lit up and then went out quickly.
He threw the dim Jewel on the table, and Luo Ya said,
"Haha, I won't be on an island forever, and I don't have any power in my name. I'll give you two choices, either I'll find a good place for her, or let her practice swordsmanship with me, or I'll find him a Devil Fruit."
"It's all up to you. I'm getting older. Even if you collect things and don't do anything, there's nothing you can do about it, right?"
Facing Luo Ya's inquiry, the old woman smiled and pretended to be confused.
Now Luo Ya has a headache. It is true that people become better with old age. Originally, Luo Ya wanted to improve Maya's strength and just make a simple transaction.
After all, the meaning of taking care of is too broad, so the old woman was so arrogant that Luo Ya could do whatever she wanted.
For a moment Luo Ya couldn't think of how to take care of her so that she could be worthy of such a great gift.
At this time Maya came out of the kitchen with the prepared meals and placed them on the table one by one.
Luo Ya immediately decided upon seeing this that eating first was the most important thing.
After finishing the meal, Maya put away the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and the old woman went out for a walk with a cane and a cigarette bag in her mouth.
After Luo Ya smoked a cigarette and thought for a while, he decided to teach Maya how to practice swordsmanship first. After all, a good Devil Fruit is hard to find.
Maybe you won't find the right one in a year or two, and Luo Ya can't do this kind of thing just giving it to a piece of rubbish. They spend all their money to make you look at it. Sincerity is the best way to treat Luo Ya, just like the original King Sobel.
In addition, the trial of seven High Tower cannot be completed in a short time, and the energy absorbed by the two Jewel plus the trial also needs to be adapted.
She probably won't leave Asuka Island in a short time, so let's just teach her how to practice swordsmanship to protect herself.
Thinking of this, Luo Ya got up and came to the kitchen, and said to Maya's busy back,
"Come to me when you're done. I have something to do with you." After saying that, he returned to the bedroom to concentrate on his sword intent.
Maya, who was washing the dishes in the sink, muttered angrily, "I have something to do with you, huh, if I have something to do, just do it, I won't bother you to death!"
