Chapter 40: Tree of Ages
When the dust settled, Lin Yu looked at Nico Robin.
"Now, can I tell you your origins?"
"no problem!"
Nico Robin agreed readily.
There is a clause in the contract that Lin Yu needs to protect the person who signed the contract, and if the other person dies, he will be forced into a state of "death".
With the bond of the oath, my sense of security was instantly boosted.
Naturally, there is no need to hide one's identity and origins anymore.
"The answer is right next to Mr. Lin Yu."
"Beside me?"
With his mind spinning rapidly, Lin Yu first ruled out the school and the villa.
So, the answer to the question lies with Sonoko, Ran, Kagome, Ai, and Erina.
Eliminate the impossible and soon, an answer emerges in my mind.
"Kagome, the Bone-Eating Well."
Nico Robin was not surprised at all when she heard Lin Yu's answer.
She nodded her head slightly and opened her pink lips:
"right!"
"It's the dry well that Mr. Lin Yu mentioned."
Her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and Nico Robin's strange hobbies suddenly emerged.
"So it's called the Bone-Eating Well. It's a cute name."
Without questioning why Lin Yu knew that she was not from this world, and without hiding anything, Nico Robin immediately told Lin Yu everything about her fantastic experience of coming to this world.
"Before coming to this world, I lived in a kingdom called Alabasta."
"For some reason, I had to live under the command of a great pirate named Crocodile."
"Later, Crocodile plotted against the Kingdom of Alabasta, causing the country to not see rain for three years."
"After three years of drought, Alabasta, which was originally a desert kingdom, was completely barren. As a result, even Crocodile's Baroque Works was extremely short of food."
"Later, Crocodile heard a piece of gossip from somewhere that there was a miracle island in a certain sea area near the food capital. There were countless inexhaustible foods on it that possessed all kinds of incredible magical powers."
"In order to get enough food, Crocodile sent me there to check."
"Unfortunately, I was unlucky. As soon as my ship approached that sea area, it encountered an unprecedented super storm."
"Afterwards, the ship broke apart in a storm."
"After I accidentally fell into the water, as a person with special abilities, I was naturally restrained by the sea water and quickly lost consciousness."
"I thought my life journey would end there, but I didn't expect fate to favor me once."
"After escaping by chance, when I woke up again, I was already at the bottom of the Bone-Eating Well of the Higurashi Shrine."
"After that, I went down to the Bone-Eating Well more than once, hoping to see if I could travel back again, but I was disappointed every time."
As she spoke, Nico Robin's face darkened.
Although that world was not friendly to her, it was still her hometown and there was a bond there that she could not break.
Alone and alone, I came to a completely unfamiliar world.
That kind of despair was almost as painful as witnessing O'Hara's demise.
"Then one day, I accidentally heard a rumor from a gangster that there was a family called Nosra, and their eldest daughter had the ability to speak."
"In order to go back, I found Nion Nosra and tried to find a way to go back from her."
"But unfortunately, I found that her predictive ability is limited and can't help me at all."
"Later, I thought that the Bone-Eating Well is guarded by the Higurashi Shrine for generations. As the only shrine maiden in the shrine, Kagome Higurashi, the key to unlocking the secret may be in her possession."
"Then I started observing her."
"At first there was nothing special, until one day I saw Mr Lin Yu beside her.
After that, Nion's prophecy changed."
As she spoke, Nico Robin raised her hand, reached into the collar of her shirt, and fumbled around inside.
After a moment, he pinched a piece of paper between his index and middle fingers and took it out from the gap.
"Uh, the fourth-dimensional ditch!"
Seeing this scene in the anime didn't seem like a big deal, but in reality, seeing this magnificent scene still shocked Lin Yu.
"How did they stuff such a large piece of paper in there? Is there really a fourth-dimensional space?"
Muttering to himself, Lin Yu raised his hand in time to take the paper sign handed to him by Nico Robin.
Surrounded by the faint scent of frankincense, I began to interpret the contents on the paper.
In the nursery of the gods,
There's one more bug.
Cursed petals,
Maybe it will bring good luck,
Left or right,
Both are good choices.
...
Almost instantly, Lin Yu had figured out the answer to the prophetic poem.
The first two sentences are about the addition of an outsider, Nico Robin, to this world.
The cursed petals should be referring to the Flower-Flower Fruit, and this ability will bring good luck to Nico Robin.
The last two sentences probably mean that it doesn't matter whether Nico Robin takes the initiative to find me or not.
After returning the prophecy poem to Nico Robin, Lin Yu began to wonder why Nico Robin traveled to this world.
"A miracle island with incredible food, and a bone-eating well."
He muttered two special things, and it seemed as if shooting stars flashed across his dark eyes.
"The Island of Miracles, could it be the Hankurila Island in the movie?"
As a joint production, this is a theatrical version that presents three worlds: Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Gourmet Food. Who knows if there is such a special island in this messed up world.
Shaking his head, he did not think about the island whose existence was still unknown. Instead, Lin Yu focused his attention on the Tree of Time.
The Tree of Time: Also known as the Imperial Sacred Tree, it has the ability to travel through time and space.
Spacetime, as the name suggests, is time and space.
In "Inuyasha", the Tree of Time shows the ability to travel through time.
But the space doesn't seem to be reflected.
Suddenly, Lin Yu sat up straight.
"No, although the original book keeps saying that she traveled through time, how can we be sure that Kagome traveled to five hundred years ago, and not to another world?"
There are traces of this matter.
In "Dragon Ball", Bulma created a time machine and said she traveled through time, but in the end, she actually traveled through a parallel world.
"If we really traveled through time, then why did Kagome and the others turn the world upside down five hundred years ago, but the real world has not changed at all."
"Another question is, why did those thousand-year-old monsters disappear without a trace in modern society in just five hundred years?"
"It's impossible that they are all dead."
The more Lin Yu thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was the reasonable explanation.
"But if Kagome traveled through a parallel dimension with a different flow of time, then wouldn't this explanation be much more reasonable?"
His eyes lit up, and Lin Yu was about 70% sure of his guess.
"Anyway, try it later and you should know the result."
Suddenly, a bold idea popped up in my mind and spread like a weed.
"I wonder if the Tree of Ages and the Bone-Eating Well can be transplanted to the original microcosm. If the power to travel through time and space is analyzed, does it mean that we can travel freely through countless universes?"
