Chapter 138 Security 2-man team, ready!
Lex felt his cheeks were warm, as if something soft and warm was pressing against them.
He opened his eyes with difficulty, and what came into view was a vast expanse of white.
Alas, I still don’t like sleeping with clothes on.
Lex gently pushed away the soft body pressing on him, squinted his eyes and looked out the window. The sun was high in the sky.
The warm spring breeze has blown across thousands of miles of maple and locust trees, and the endless maple and locust trees have begun to show clusters of tender green.
The buds of the maple tree are slightly yellowish, while those of the locust tree are a refreshing light green.
However, the two different colors of tender buds are equally pure and vibrant, just like the milky white snowko in Gion.
"Well~ don't press me~"
Gion, who was lazily lying on the bed, frowned slightly. It turned out that her hair was pressed down. But even so, she just closed her eyes, humming and muttering softly.
It seems that he hasn't woken up yet.
"Well, if you're hungry, get up and eat."
Lex would never ask his wife to get up early or anything like that. She can be lazy if she wants to be lazy, and play if she wants to play. If the navy was not extremely important, Lex would not be willing to let Gion join the navy like in the original work and lay out a ten-year plan.
Fortunately, with Lex's current influence, even if Gion is in the navy, she can still be loved by the whole world like a princess.
"Oh~"
In a daze, Gion turned over and continued to sleep. No one knew what delicious food she dreamed about.
Walk out of the lakeside villa.
The warm sun brings with it a breeze, and the fragrance of grass and trees mixed with the salty and humid smell of the sea breeze blows towards you.
All I could see was a pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake, with maple and locust trees growing for thousands of miles.
There was a man sitting in a red cloak, holding an umbrella and sword, leaning casually on the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Staring blankly at the lake in front of him.
Occasionally, the chilly spring breeze brushed across his temples, ruffling a few slightly gray hairs, from which it could be seen that he was not young anymore.
Lex came over and sat on the bench opposite the man.
"Master, do you like the feeling of being old?"
Lex's question was puzzling, but the Red Earl naturally understood what his disciple meant.
After eating the vampire fruit, Lex could stay young if he wanted to, but he never saw the Red Earl use his ability to regain his youth.
Instead, it still follows the ancient laws of time, accepts the erosion of time, and like the maple and locust trees that cover thousands of miles, it slowly ages between the ups and downs of the lake.
The Red Earl's calm eyes were like the lake in front of him:
"Ah."
He answered Lex's question calmly.
The two monster masters and apprentices who could also "read minds" always had an extraordinary tacit understanding. With just a "hmm", Lex felt the loneliness deep in the Red Earl's heart.
The Red Earl is such a person. If he had not met Lex, he would have lived in loneliness all his life.
Then, Lex took out a bottle of West Sea secret brew - Grashi from the Eternal Space, poured it into the decanter, and began to decant the wine.
After the mellow wine has aged, it needs to be decanted for up to half an hour before it can restore the mellow aroma that has been fermented over the years.
The two of them remained silent.
They appreciated the clear blue water in front of them tacitly.
The clear and transparent lake water reflects the rows of maple and locust trees on the shore.
".....Are you ready?"
The Red Earl spoke softly, but it didn't seem abrupt at all. He seemed to blend into this silent world, yet it contained vibrant vitality.
Lex naturally knew what the Red Earl was asking.
Of course it’s about the Pirate Expo.
Lex answered his master truthfully:
"Brother Roy is in overall charge, Uncle Gut is following up, Camus is also very cooperative, and all citizens of Pentles are also actively responding. It won't be long before the entire Pentles will be built into a country of the World Expo to welcome all visitors from the sea."
In fact, the Red Earl spoke very little, but at the same time, every word he said seemed particularly sincere.
All his care for Lex was contained in every casual word he said.
The Red Earl, who has experienced the darkness of human nature and grew up in blood and tears, is not good at expressing his emotions.
But fortunately, Lex could understand every word he said:
"Thank you Master for your concern."
A somewhat redundant and artificial thank you came out of Lex's mouth.
The Red Earl nodded slightly and said no more.
The master and the disciple have long been accustomed to this way of conversation.
Everything is left unsaid.
suddenly.
The spring breeze suddenly rose, and the spring thunder rumbled across the sky.
Rumble——~!
The maple and locust trees, which had not yet awakened from their winter slumber, were awakened by a spring thunder at this moment.
Also awakened was Gion, who was lying in bed.
"Ah? .....It's raining? So noisy~"
Gion pulled the warm quilt to cover his ears and continued to fall asleep.
It seems that last night's lovemaking in Qinlou made her quite tired.
Wooden pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake.
The master and disciple changed their sitting position.
Sitting on the ground facing the lake that has been covered by spring rain.
Endless drizzle, as fine as cow hair, drops of rain crash into the maple and locust trees thousands of miles away without any care, or hit the locust tree forest, or merge into the lake in the heart of the island, and then start their new reincarnation, following the most basic laws of nature.
The master and the disciple would take a sip of the secret brew from the West Sea in their hands from time to time.
Time passes quietly in silence.
In Lex's words, this is also a kind of practice.
It's called cultivating the mind, and it's an essential step in the way of the sword.
In the three thousand worlds, nothing is left uncut and nothing can be cut.
a long time.
Lex may not have had enough spiritual cultivation skills, so he spoke first.
Facing the endless drizzle in front of him, the rain, driven by the wind, hit Rex's cheeks. He did not use the Armament Haki to block it:
"...the wind rises and the clouds move...the rain falls on Qinghai..."
The Red Earl didn't move, as if he didn't hear what Lex said.

got windy.
It's not just the maple and locust trees in the West Sea that are being blown away by the wind.
It’s a huge new world.
Wang Zhi and Yin Axe are enjoying a peaceful life on Honeycomb Island.
They looked at each other in bewilderment at the handwritten letters in their hands.
"Ah? ... again?"
Wang Zhi showed helplessness as he looked at the familiar handwriting on the letter. It was Lex's handwriting, written in a strong and powerful style.
Yin Fu was a rough man. He read for a long time before he understood the contents of his letter. He asked his good friend Wang Zhi in a daze:
"Does that mean we're going to fight again?"
Wang Zhi looked at his good friend Yin Fu with disdain. After all these years, he was still stupid and touching, second only to the stupidity of Monlala Pepe, who was under Shi Ji's command.
"It's not a fight! It's security, security work, do you understand?"
Silver Axe was even more confused:
"He wants us to work as security guards in Pentles?"
Let... Wang Zhi and Yin Fu,.....be security guards?!
Let... two great pirates, legendary giants, be security guards at the World Expo? ? ! ! ~
For a long while, the two good friends looked at each other, and no one spoke.
".....Forget it, it's not like we're not paying them, at least we gave each of them 20 billion Baileys as a token of our appreciation."
Silver Axe said.
Although 20 billion Beli is not a small treasure for Wang Zhi and Yin Fu.
But the two knew that this little bit of money was just a hair plucked from Lex's body. Didn't you see Lex's golden hair that was exactly the same as Ski's?
How much fucking hair?
