Do Be Human
Dr. Clover:...
Nico Olvia:...
Stop it!
Have some decency!
The two stared blankly as a crack was actually poked in the Poneglyphs, seemingly unable to accept the fact and completely stunned.
Then, after realizing what was happening, Dr. Clover was the first to rush forward.
"Stop! Don't continue!!"
It's hard to imagine.
It was astonishing that an elderly man, well past fifty, could let out such a pitiful scream. Dr. Clover rushed forward without hesitation, seemingly wanting to protect the stone tablet with his own body.
This is Poneglyphs!
If it really gets destroyed here.
He's likely to be criticized and condemned to death by scholars all over the world!
He deserves to die a thousand deaths for his crimes!
"Stop it! Stop it!"
Nico Olvia was the second to rush forward.
Without any regard for anything, he grabbed Lin Yan's arm and tried to pull Lin Yan away, completely unaware of how inappropriate his action was.
"No, no, it can't be that bad... It's still watchable, isn't it?"
Lin Yan, the culprit, simply shrugged, utterly speechless.
What's there to be afraid of? We're still here, aren't we?
To be honest, he was just giving it a try.
It's not a big problem.
Just as he had expected, this strange power was completely unable to resist the might of the Divine Construct, and it couldn't even put up the most basic resistance.
Indeed, only magic can defeat magic.
Lin Yan didn't go too far. Although the Holy Sword had pierced the stone tablet, it hadn't destroyed that strange power.
At most, it just left a crack.
The protection of power still exists.
Therefore, in fact, Poneglyphs are still very difficult to destroy.
"... Stop talking! Nico Olvia! Make sure this bastard... this guy doesn't get any closer to the stone tablet!"
Dr. Clover was so angry he was practically fuming.
In his haste, he actually called out Nico Olvia's full name, and only managed to hold back from swearing at the last moment.
To be able to anger a top scholar to this extent, one can only imagine how much Dr. Clover regrets his actions now.
"I see!"
Nico Olvia nodded emphatically as well.
He clung tightly to Lin Yan 'Lin Yan arm, almost hanging on her.
"..."
Lin Yan stated that she is in stable condition.
Under the tense gazes of the two, Lin Yan slowly sheathed her Holy Sword and then shrugged nonchalantly.
"It seems it's not impossible to destroy. You two don't need to be nervous, it's just an experiment."
"..."
Experiment?!
I'm begging you, please have some decency!
Both of them were internally screaming at the same time.
It was just an experiment, and they almost dismantled the Poneglyphs. If you're serious, is there anything left here?!
"Elbow! Come with me!"
Without saying a word, Nico Olvia was about to forcefully drag Lin Yan away.
Surprisingly, Lin Yan had no objection to this.
After all, seeing Dr. Clover looking so exasperated, it would be really bad if he caused the old man to develop high blood pressure.
Moreover...
You're not losing out at all, are you?
Feeling the touch on her arm, Lin Yan's smile unconsciously turned comical.
So, what happened next is pretty self-explanatory.
Under the two's close watch.
Lin Yan was quickly led out of the basement and then returned to the room where she had previously negotiated with Dr. Clover.
Nobody noticed.
Just as Lin Yan left the basement, a flash of light appeared on the Poneglyphs.
It seemed like a mixture of fear and relief...
In any case, Lin Yan was finally taken away from the basement of the Tree of Knowledge.
Looking at the two people glaring at her menacingly, Lin Yan shrugged helplessly.
"Seriously? And didn't you say the Poneglyphs are absolutely indestructible?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Dr. Clover immediately coughed.
Who would have thought!
For centuries, no one had been able to leave any damage to the Poneglyphs on it, yet a single sword strike pierced a crack in it!
It almost gave him a heart attack.
Who exactly is this man before me?
And that sword...
Dr. Clover finally came to his senses.
Recalling the Holy Sword Lin Yan had taken out earlier, his eyes became very resentful, but also filled with a strong thirst for knowledge.
What exactly is that sword?!
I'm so curious!
Dr. Clover stared intently at Lin Yan in front of him, and couldn't help but start rubbing his hands together like flies.
After a while, Dr. Clover's eyes darted around.
"Ahem! Young man, you've just made a grave mistake!"
Dr. Clover suddenly spoke in a very serious tone.
You fucking committed a crime, do you even know that?!
That's Ohara's National Treasure!
Valuable Poneglyphs!
Logically speaking, shouldn't he be sentenced to seventeen or eighteen years?
He then proceeded to elaborate on just how important the Poneglyphs were, how precious they were to Ohara, and how they were practically a heritage of all humankind.
Then, at the very end, Dr. Clover suddenly changed the subject.
"Ahem, so in order to prevent something like this from happening again! As one of the world's top scholars, I need to research weapons capable of destroying the Poneglyphs!"
He said this with great righteous indignation.
Dr. Clover rubbed his hands together, surrounded by flies.
"So young man... cough cough, could I borrow it to take a look? Don't worry, I just intend to examine it with a critical eye! I have absolutely no other intentions!"
"..."
Have some self-respect, okay?
Lin Yan glanced speechlessly at the shameless Dr. Clover.
Just say you want to see it.
What are you whining about?
Given that she had indeed left a crack in the Poneglyphs in her excitement, Lin Yan was not an unreasonable person.
Too lazy to refute Dr. Clover's shameless excuses, Lin Yan simply nodded casually and then took out the Excalibur.
"Great! We'll appreciate your support of our research!"
Dr. Clover was extremely excited.
As a pure scholar, he possessed a strong thirst for knowledge about everything in this world; how could he remain unmoved at this moment, faced with material wonders? (33novel. com)
Dr. Clover stretched out his hands, trembling.
With an expression as if he were facing a sacred object, he was about to take the Holy Sword and examine it carefully.
Swish----!
Then, in the next second, a pair of small hands suddenly reached out in front of him.
And then there's that huge Holy Sword!
That's all!
"..."
Dr. Clover looked completely bewildered and turned to look at Nico Olvia, who had taken the Holy Sword.
The woman's face also flushed.
But he still spoke with righteous indignation.
"You're too old! How can you touch such a dangerous weapon! It would be terrible if you got hurt!"
"I'm young, let me take the trouble to figure it out for you!"
