Chapter XVII News

In 1507, a shocking event occurred in the Holy Land of Mary Joy, a fishman named Fisher Tiger broke into the residence of the world's aristocratic "Draconian", released thousands of slaves of different races imprisoned there, and helped them regain their freedom.

Various newspapers hyped up that various news and developments of the incident occupied the covers of many newspapers and magazines for as long as a month, even the East China Sea, which was blocked by a windless belt and was far away from 108,000 miles, was no exception, and the news media in the East China Sea actually did not care about the safety of the Tianlong people, and even in their hearts, they might have expected the Tianlong people to be attacked more seriously, they just followed the nature of the news media, heard the wind, and chased all the hot news.

In the East China Sea, in the Yixin Dojo of Frost Moon Village, William, Alamis, Akin, Wallon, and Edmund were sitting behind a rockery in the courtyard of the dojo, reading a newspaper, and they naturally knew about this important matter.

As for why he reads the newspaper here, the reason is also very simple, as a "leader", William himself not only burdens himself, but also learns navigation in addition to practicing swords, and he is so busy that he is so busy that he can make his subordinates who are often shaking in front of his eyes comfortable?

So he assigned another task to Alamis, who was responsible for teaching the semi-literate Akin and the illiterate Walloon to read and count, and he was responsible for supervising, and every day he had to let the two of them take turns reading the newspaper to him in the afternoon, when William was practicing his sword, to understand the outside world information on the one hand, and to check their learning progress on the other.

As for Edmond, he came close purely by himself, and the small gang of four led by William is definitely an outlier among his peers in the dojo, on the one hand, as a person who has had the experience of pirates, he habitually feels that other peers in the dojo are very naïve, and he has a sense of superiority when he looks at other peers, on the one hand, several young people of seventeen or eighteen years old are buying houses and buying new knives, and it is an exaggeration to say that they spend a lot of money, but the economic independence is obvious, which makes the dojo younger than them, or people who are close to them quite envious。 In daily training, the four of them are harder than everyone else in the dojo, and usually, Alamis, Akin, and Wallon always surround William like a moon, and when William tells them to do something, they seem to be very obedient and disciplined.

To put it simply, I saw the same traits in my four sixteen or seventeen-year-old peers as the "adults" in my impression - mature, purposeful, financially based, and organized.

All this makes the four of them very different among the students in the dojo, and for people of this age, maverick is an existence worthy of emulation and envy, they do not understand the deep meaning of William's series of behaviors, and limited by experience can only label William and his group as a "cool" superficial label.

Of course, it is limited to the "aura" of the four people - in fact, the main reason is that William is jealous of Koshiro and does not want to accept the "little brother" in the dojo and attract the attention of the other party, so many dojo disciples want to integrate into the small gang to no avail, and finally choose to give up.

Only Edmund, as the so-called "son of the pirates", feels good about himself and thinks he is a "cool boy" Over the years, just because he was surrounded by a group of conservative-minded turtles, so he obviously had such lofty ambitions and goals, but he became the laughing stock of the dojo, when he came into contact with William's group more over time, he suddenly felt that he had found an organization, licking his face, stalking, plus he was responsible for helping William's group learn swords earlier, he joined a group of people, and he always followed along with him on weekdays.

People are social animals, always inevitably influenced by other people's judgments, or actively or passively used as a reference for their own choices, Alamis, Ah Jin and Wallon are almost obedient to William, coupled with William's self-discipline that is very far from his peers when he usually learns swords, and his maturity and meticulousness in dealing with people and things almost naturally make Edmund himself put himself in the same position as Ah Jin and others.

If William looked to be in his thirties now, or didn't have Akin, Aramis and Wallon as the original team, Edmund obviously couldn't have made that choice so quickly.

"One, two, three...... "Eight, nine, nine," Wallon said, gesturing his fingers at the contents of the paper, "this is, this is a bounty of more than 200 million!"

He pondered for a while, as if he wanted to express his feelings, but unfortunately his mouth was too stupid, and he only spit out one sentence: "A lot of money!"

Edmund snatched the newspaper, the tip of his nose was almost attached to it, his eyes swept back and forth over the line of bounty, half envious and half jealous, and said: "It's not much, and there is moisture, if it doesn't impact the residence of the Celestial Dragons, it is impossible to give so many bounties." ”

Aramis squinted at Edmund and then retracted his gaze, after getting along for more than half a year, he already knew the other party's personality and habits to some extent, knowing that this person's brain circuit was different from ordinary people, and the accumulation of pirate bounties in Edmund's eyes represented not a more severe pursuit by the navy, but a shining aura that could brighten the eyes of blind people.

After all, he is a weirdo who says that he is a pirate when he meets people, and he has lived for so long and has not been mistaken by the Navy for a real pirate and put in prison, which can only be said to be lucky.

"Just by storming the Celestial Dragons' residence, there is so much to offer?" Ah Jin asked.

"If you storm a farmer's chicken coop, make the chickens fly and the dogs jump, and let all the poultry raised in the other party's chicken coop go, the other party will also hold you responsible. William said meaningfully, "What's more, it's a big man like the Draconians who let go of their 'poultry', do you think they will let you lose some money like a country farmer?"

"Poultry?" said Edmund, glancing at the newspaper again, with some unacceptable difficulty, "these are people, thousands!"

"Thousands of slaves," corrected William, "in the eyes of the Draconians, they are like 'poultry,' and perhaps not as good as poultry in the eyes of the farmer, because the farmer still needs poultry to feed himself, and the Draconians ...... , raised just for fun. ”

The four young men were a little embarrassed for a moment, and certainly they didn't think to ask William why he knew these things so well.

William took the newspaper from Edmund's hand, smacked his lips at the photo of the Holy Land on fire on the cover, and a hint of schadenfreude faintly appeared in his heart, not from the memory of "Sun Bo", but from the memory of the original owner.

If he hadn't managed to escape in advance, Morgan William would have been one of the thousands of freed slaves by now, provided that he hadn't been killed by his original "master" St. Toldos.

It's a pity that there is no if in reality, and someone else is dying now, William sneered.
