Chapter 182: The scars of the world

"Escape! Solan!" Robin's horrified cry made Solan, who was standing next to the huge humanoid, stunned for a moment, and then seemed to have guessed what Robin meant. Solan smiled sweetly at Robin: "Big sister, don't be afraid, this is the uncle I want to take you to see..."

As if in response to Solan's words, the huge human-shaped gaze moved to Robin in the distance, and after directly contacting the same blood-red gaze, Robin felt a little relieved for no reason. Although this gaze was as bright as blood, it did not have the cruelty and evil that made people scared, nor was it always filled with unseeable smiles in his eyes like the figure wearing a black cloak in his memory.

The huge humanoid seemed to have difficulty raising his head, but he could only move his head very slightly, and there was a hint of helplessness in his sight. Robin walked over carefully until he stood next to Solan. When Solan saw Robin willing to come over, there was a hint of smile on his little face: "Big sister, look, uncle has been here all the time. I will come here to visit my uncle every few days, and tell me what's happening outside."

Still staring at the giant humanoid cautiously, Robin nodded: "Is that so? Does your uncle like to know what's happening outside?"

A giggling sound came from the huge human throat, as if he wanted to speak. Robin's heart moved, and then smiled at Solan next to him: "Then, Solan, will you tell your uncle something this time? By the way, can you tell him some stories to you?"

"Okay, okay..." Nodded, Solan looked at the huge humanoid with a slightly red light in his eyes with joy: "That's great, uncle, this big sister came here from outside this country, she must know more interesting things."

With a professional smile on his face, Robin nodded at the giant humanoid: "Is that OK? Mr. Giant? I think you must know a lot of things in the past. Why don't we make a deal? Tell me the history of the past, and I'll tell you what's going on in the world now?"

Robin vaguely felt that he had seized something, such as this mysterious kingdom of bridges, such as the hidden things in this country, such as this mysterious huge humanoid. But Robin was almost certain that this huge humanoid creature had an age comparable to this bridge that could not be traced back to hundreds of years or even longer.

The huge humanoid creature's throat clattered again. Just as Robin felt that he was a little uneasy because of his nervousness, the red light in the eyes of the huge humanoid creature's eyes drooped a little, and then a very clear but obviously dejected voice came from the giant's throat: "...I have spent countless years here, and only humans who are trying to interpret the secrets of my body have changed countless times. Now, what do you want to know from me?"

"Before the two parties officially start negotiations, it is a polite thing to report their names..." Robin was not moved by the contempt that faintly appeared in the other party's tone, but still smiled slightly, and continued to say in a light tone: "My name is Nicole Robin, what about you, Mr. Giant?"

The red light in the huge human eye flashed again, as if I had put away some contempt, I was silent, and then spoke again: "...Don't compare the giants with me, my fellow races and I are not comparable to that kind of creatures. You are using this to belittle my identity... As for my name, it has been too long, and the only things I can remember are this and some other few things... My name is - Kazgros."

The pupils contracted rapidly, Robin paused, and then smiled professionally: "So, Mr. Kazgross, should I ask the question first or do you ask the question first? Although I don't feel that the difference is too big..."

The red light in his eyes flashed unstable, obviously Kazgros's psychology was not stable at the moment. After a while, he sighed with depressed meaning, blinked at Robin, as if signaling Robin to ask a question first.

Robin, who received his approval, nodded and asked in a professional tone: "Mr. Kazgross, what I want to know is actually about the history you remember. Can you tell me? Even if it's just one or two things you remember."

After a strange look at Robin, Kazgross felt a little surprised in his tone: "O? You just want to know this? Or do you want to know this? I thought you would ask me directly about my tribe's secrets."

"If you can say everything, I think I'd be happy to listen..." Robin patted Solan's shoulders, his eyes a little more cunning: "And Solan should also want to hear her uncle say something interesting..."

The red light at the corners of his eyes flashed violently, and a hint of anger appeared in Kazgros' tone: "Do you want to threaten me with Solan? I should have thought that you who have been stained with the devil's breath will never be so simple!"

The expression on her face remained unchanged, and Robin felt relieved. At least the Kazgros in front of her was not as difficult as some people. For example, her former boss Clock Dal would not have expressed her feelings in front of someone so simply.

"If my words made you misunderstand something, then I apologize to you..." The face remained unchanged, and Robin let go of the hand placed on Solan's shoulder. This action made the red light in Kazgros' eyes relax a little. Seeing this reaction, Robin continued: "Actually, I am just an archaeologist, and I have been following the truth that has been covered up by the current government. If you can tell me these things, I think the children in this world will not be blinded again..."

Kazgros was silent, as if thinking about something. After a long time, Kazgros sighed, his tone full of depressedness: "No... I no longer have the motivation to pursue the so-called truth anymore. After so many things, I have been decaying here for a long time. I finally understood something... Sometimes, deceiving can at least make people continue to live, while the truth... will make people crazy. My fellow tribe and I have discovered this truth in chasing the so-called truth, but at that time we did not realize the importance of this truth. It was because we ignored the warnings of the truth to us, so we were cursed by this demon and decayed forever in this fragment of time, forever..."

Robin clenched his fists tightly. She felt her strong disappointment from Kazgros's words, and the historical truth that she originally thought was close was away again. The Island of O'Hara when she was young, her childhood escaped and her youthful intrigues were separated from her life's partners again. All of this overlapped again when she was extremely disappointed.

"So! You just use your failure to evade the attempts and adventures of later generations? Right?" Robin, who was uncontrollable, shouted at Kazgross: "Let those later generations die in ignorance forever with hatred of being blinded? Is that true?"

Robin's questioning made the light in Kazgross's eyes jump wildly for a while, and turned around fiercely. Robin took Solan's hand: "Soran, let's go. Your uncle is very tired. Let's stop disturbing him... Let him sleep here all the time... As a loser..."

"Gala!!" A sound of rusty gears turning came from Kazgros' huge body. Kazgros also roared, and the sound seemed to be muffled thunder on the flat ground, but it was nothing compared to the explosions on the upper bridge deck from time to time: "What can I do? We are noble warriors who were once recognized by the world! But later we found that all this is a joke! All this...for us soldiers who persistently believe in our own justice, it is more painful than destruction! What can I do..."

Turning back, listening to Kazgros' roar gradually lowered, Robin spoke again after the other party completely stopped saying: "I want to know... what is the real history like? Please tell me..."

Looking at Robin again, Kazgros seemed to want to shake his head, but in the end he gave up the action: "I can only tell you one thing. When time is forgotten in human memory, then no matter how long it takes, it will only continue the history recorded by time before it is recorded again... Whether it is centuries or dozens of centuries, if the recording method is forgotten, then these times will be lost in human history. Forty thousand years and four thousand years will only be as short as four hundred years. Sometimes, what you see is not the truth, and what you dislike may be the truth..."

After the words stopped, Robin couldn't continue asking questions, but instead changed his question: "So, who is the man with green eyes just now? Is he also a government member?"

"No... Strictly speaking, he can no longer be limited to you humans..." The red light in Kazgros's eyes flashed slightly: "This world embodies all kinds of powers inside a sphere, which you humans seem to call it the devil fruit. The rules of this world and the universe are also sprinkled on this world in a concrete form. Many concrete rules are attached to humans' thinking and actions, and some rules have also fallen under the temptation of the demons. He is one of the rules - nothingness."

Although he still didn't understand Kazgros' words, Robin still wrote them seriously and looked at Solan next to Robin. Kazgros spoke in a low tone: "No need to ask you, I already know that this world will always be under the control of the demons, and I, and my fellow tribes, have tried my best..."
