Chapter 7 Healing and Talking with Mice

  An hour and a half later, a showered and changed Lily sat on the spacious cloudy couch while the hermit sat casually on a pile of books.

  "Where the hell is this place? And who the hell are you? Why are you so eager to save me?" Lily said as she got right to the point.

  "Well, first of all, to answer the first two questions, this is an empty island in the White White Sea, an empty island 15,000 meters above the ground - Onza, I did hook you up while fishing, as for my words, I'm not lying, everyone here calls me Hermit, I'm the doctor here, and I usually help them with a little bit of other little help." The hermit snorted and repeated something un-nutritious, "As for the last question? That depends on what you do next, the priority right now is that you need you to nurse your injuries back to health, with your clan's physique, you should be able to recover very quickly."

  "You know?"

  "What is there not to know, the ghost clan is just a ghost clan, and it is an extremely rare right-angled ghost clan, bare with me, the last time I saw a female right-angled ghost clan was still a hundred years ago," the hermit casually uttered a word that Lily had never heard of, and just when he wanted to continue listening, the hermit suddenly drew a turn, "Okay The hermit suddenly changed his style, "Okay, I'm getting old and I'm talking too much, don't worry about all this, come on, I'll help you fix your arm and leg, attach the ointment, and I'll make sure you'll be back to your old self within a day."

  After saying that, not waiting for Lily to react, the hermit suddenly came to Lily's front, a hand grabbed Lily's right arm, obviously there was nothing in her hand in the last second suddenly appeared a pair of clamping stick, directly clamped on Lily's arm, and then out of thin air changed into a mass of black stuff directly smeared on Lily's arm, at once a hot and spicy pain made Lily almost screamed out, when Lily opened her mouth, a wooden stick was directly shoved across her mouth.

  "Bite down if it hurts, don't worry, it'll be quick, with this medicine, those broken bones will soon recover." Hermit skillfully fixed it with a bandage, after getting her arm, she treated Lily's left leg with the same steps, after a while the pain gradually subsided, Lily hastily spat out the stick in her mouth.

  "What's with the medicine, you guys?" Lily moved her arm a bit, the pain she had just experienced left her reeling, as someone who had grown up on the battlefield, unusual pain couldn't even make her frown, let alone the kind of pain that she couldn't hold back at all.

  "This ah, my old family's ancestral ointment, although it hurts but it's very effective." Hermit didn't care about that, he wasn't the one in pain anyway, "Speaking of which, I've answered both of your questions, isn't it about time you introduced yourself?"

  Lily frowned when she heard the Hermit's question, she had escaped from the Navy's hands, she didn't know if she should tell the old man in front of her about these things, in case he was a part of the World Government, then she had just gotten out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's mouth again.

  "Related to the World Government?" It was clearly a question, but it showed an affirmative tone in the hermit's mouth, "Those disgusting guys, let me guess, the world government attacked the Ghost Clan's compound and captured people?"

  "It was something to do with the world government, but not the Ghost Nation compound." Lily let out a slow breath, life and death, I guess, listening to the old man's tone it shouldn't be the world government.

  "I, we, were betrayed by our own country, by the nobles, by the king."

  "Oh?"

  "My name is Rose Lily, the strongest warrior of the former generation of the Wocka Kingdom, who had been fighting for the kingdom before." Lily took the two cups of hot tea that the hermit didn't know where to take out, and gently took a sip, for the point that the hermit suddenly took out something, Lily didn't ask more questions, she wasn't a bumpkin who didn't know anything, ninety-nine percent of this kind of ability was the ability of the Devil Fruit, and casually inquiring about other people's abilities was an extremely rude behavior.

"But not too long ago, the king of the Wocka Kingdom - Vodka III, in order to obtain a participation seat in the World Conference, sold me and the new generation of the strongest warrior Kaido to the Navy, the two of us ran away from the warship, encountered a storm, was swept up by the water tornado, I threw Kaido out. At the time, I thought I was dead, and I woke up here."

  "Selling out your country's strongest warrior for that seat that doesn't mean shit, these kings, ah, they're pretty stupid." The hermit shook his head and cursed in a low voice.

  "But you just said that you were the strongest warrior of the kingdom before? In my opinion, you shouldn't be an adult."

  "Nope, I'm only 14."

  "How tall are you?"

  "3 meters 55."

  "Bare with me, it's worthy of the Ghost Race bloodline, but at this age you're the strongest person in the kingdom? And the Wocka Kingdom, a completely unheard of name, it doesn't seem to be a country with a long history." The hermit ran his hand through his beard, "This group of juniors, ah, for the sake of some vanity to abandon the future of a country, so short-sighted, so stupid, sad and pathetic."

  "Alright, I about understand, you take a rest in the house, I'll go get some food, you can't recuperate without eating properly." The hermit said and stood up and went out the door without looking back, Lily was very speechless at this, is this person so spontaneous? Said to go, said to stop, but now the hands and feet are fixed Lily completely can not say anything, people saved their own, and is to provide accommodation, and is to help see the doctor, and now people still go to help themselves to get food, eat people's hands are short, take people's mouth is short, Lily can only be leaned back and paralyzed on the sofa.

  You do not say, just did not pay attention, this sofa is really soft, just when Lily felt the softness of the sofa drowsy.

  "Squeak squeak..." A mouse's squeak sounded.

  Lily hastily opened her eyes, look at the hermit which is full of books, it can be seen that the hermit loves to read, this is if the mouse bites bad can not be good, now he is not there, he should help to take care of a little, as for their own physical condition, although it is true that mobility is not easy, but to catch a mouse, Lily thinks that there is still no problem.

  Lily quietly and carefully listened to the mouse's "squeak", the sound is getting closer and closer, a little bit towards Lily's back.

  Lily did not move, the whole person like a monk in the meditation, did not make a sound, the mouse "squeak" closer and closer, until there is a little distance away from Lily stopped, Lily can feel the mouse is behind her, the mouse also seems to be observing their own, it is wandering, may be thinking about approaching, it tiptoed, a little bit of the mouse, it is also a little bit of the mouse. It crept, a little closer, moving so much more cautiously now than it had just done so blatantly.

  Finally, closer, much closer, the mouse came a little closer to Lily's striking distance.

  Lily started counting down.

  Lily started to build up her strength

  Lily prepares to turn around

  As the silent chanting ended, Lily turned instantly with her right leg firing and grabbed at the old location with her left hand.

  But she grabbed empty.

  "Squeak!" A white ball of fur flew into Lily's face at a speed Lily couldn't imagine.

  "BANG," "THUD," "CRASH," Lily was knocked from the couch to the floor, where books were scattered in all directions!
