Chapter 265: The Demon Slayer Order Arrives
A few days passed quickly.
Jinan stood on the top of the Tree of Omniscience, with a panoramic view of the entire sea.
His eyes passed over the calm sea, and the figures of warships gradually appeared in the distance.
Jin An smiled slightly and whispered:
"It seems that the warships that carried out the Demon Slayer Order are indeed extraordinary."
He had spent some time on Kuzan's warship a few days ago, but he didn't have the same intuitive feeling as he did now.
According to his estimation, it would take an ordinary warship about a day and a half to arrive, but these warships were obviously much faster.
Then, Jin An leaped and landed lightly in front of the library door.
Robin, who had been waiting in front of the library, saw Jinan's expression as usual, and felt a little relieved and smiled:
"The navy hasn't come yet... But the residents on the island have mostly left, so it doesn't matter if the navy comes now."
Jin An shook his head, his expression becoming more serious:
"You are ready to leave..."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked into the library.
"what……"
After hearing what Jin An said, Robin was stunned and kept his mouth open for a long time.
She couldn't understand how Jin An could say such bombshell news without any expression.
But she also knew from Jin An's words that the navy had arrived...
Jin An walked into the library and saw that the shelves inside were still full of books, but he knew that these were just for show, just to hide the secrets from those with ulterior motives.
Jin An said to the somewhat troubled archaeologists:
"The navy's warships have appeared on the horizon. You should prepare to leave."
"Huh? So fast..."
Clover exclaimed.
The other archaeologists had the same reaction as him, looking at Jinan in disbelief.
They stayed here hoping that what Jinan said was just to scare them. After all, who would be willing to leave the place where they had lived all their lives?
Moreover, the Tree of Omniscience is the symbol of their archaeological community.
They did not want this symbol to be destroyed.
Jin An nodded and responded:
"Well, they will arrive in about 20 minutes."
The archaeologists looked at everything familiar with nostalgia, and finally lined up in front of Jin An.
Jin An said to the big bear who was standing silently beside him:
"Big Bear, I leave it to you."
The bear nodded and began to swat the scholars away from O'Hara one by one.
When the first scholar suddenly disappeared, a hint of surprise appeared on the faces of the others. It was the first time they saw a living person suddenly disappear in front of them.
But this novel experience also temporarily dispelled the uneasiness in their hearts.
"..."
When it was Clover's turn, he stopped the bear from moving.
"I have something to say to those marines."
Clover said firmly,
"I'm not leaving here."
“If the navy arrives and sees no response from the island, they will probably become suspicious.”
"If I stay, I can attract their attention."
"..."
Jin An frowned, but soon understood Clover's determination.
He knew that the old scholar had his own persistence and mission.
He sighed and patted Clover on the shoulder:
"It's okay, I'll stay with you."
In fact, Jinan has arranged a lot of "extras" on the island, and has made the island look the same as before.
But he was curious about what big information Clover would say to attract the navy's attention.
And to be honest, Jinan admires people like Clover who are not afraid of death.
Clover smiled slightly, his eyes firm:
"Thank you, Jinan. We will always remember your help."
After saying this, he turned and walked towards the coastline to meet his impending fate.
Jin An looked at Clover's back and followed him silently.
Daxiong followed behind Jinan silently and whispered:
“It’s a really great place for those scholars to travel to.”
He was responsible for sending those archaeologists flying, so he naturally knew their destination very well.
"Of course. It took a lot of effort to find such a good place."
Jinan walked to Daxiong's side with a smile.
The island that the scholars were heading to was found by him on behalf of Tesoro. Although Tesoro had only been in control of those industries for a short time, he had already managed them in an orderly manner.
But even so, it took Tesoro a lot of effort.
Jinan's focus has changed from being solely on the books in the beginning to now ensuring that both the books and the scholars are evacuated safely.
As for those residents on the island who were unwilling to leave, he was powerless to take care of them.
In the past few days, he has kept his Observation Haki activated, and anyone who wanted to report someone was stopped by him in time and locked up in a small dark room.
And thanks to his series of operations, the island remains the same as before.
......
Finally, Jinan and Daxiong followed Clover to O'Hara's communication room, where there was a loudspeaker.
Clover opened the door and the equipment inside was quietly waiting to be used.
"time is limited."
Jinan said to Clover,
"If you have something to say, now is the time."
Clover nodded, walked over to the PA, adjusted the volume, then took a deep breath and began to speak.
Jinan and Daxiong stood aside, silently watching the old scholar.
"Hello, fellow residents."
The sound of the shamrock spread throughout O'Hara through the PA system.
"I have important news to convey. The navy's warships are approaching and we don't have much time."
His voice echoed throughout the island, and every word carried a heavy weight.
“The knowledge we have worked so hard to collect may be about to be destroyed.”
Clover continued,
“But I’m not going to sit back and wait for death.”
"Before I die, I will publish all our research results!"
"Dogs of the World Government, I know you are on the island, but the warships carrying out the Demon Killing Order have arrived at O'Hara. If you don't want to die, you can leave now."
"If you think about leaving, it'll be over once the navy starts bombarding me to silence me."
He said these words not only to the spies, but also to those who did not want to die to leave quickly.
Although he didn't know if he still had a chance to leave.
However, all of this is a choice made by the people who remain on the island.
Jinan nodded and winked at Daxiong.
Daxiong understood what he meant, walked out of the reception room, and began to check the surrounding environment to ensure it was safe.
Clover paused for a moment, and he was about to start talking about the main point.
"The text of history, a gap in a hundred years of history recorded in hard stone."
"We always wonder why people in the past deliberately used such hard stones to record texts. Perhaps they wanted to convey the truth to future generations."
The sky outside gradually became gloomy and the sea breeze became stronger.
Warships have surrounded the entire island.
