Chapter 17: Finding the Rebels
It's still the shore. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The bit placed two rubber catheters over the thin mouths of the two Erlenmeyer flasks, which were connected by long glass catheters. An Erlenmeyer flask contains seawater, which is heated by an alcohol lamp underneath. The other was soaked in a small pit of seawater.
Carpenter acted as a humanoid cooler, waiting for the water in the No. 1 Erlenmeyer flask to boil and then using another beaker to scoop seawater and pour it over the long tube to cool down.
"By the way, can you really make fresh water?" Ah Jin jumped up and down on the side. Patience is a good thing, but he really doesn't.
"Don't worry, wait. If Bit says yes, it must be. Reilly comforted Akin.
"Be patient, fresh water will be available." Bit said confidently. Isn't it just distilled water, it's not difficult at all.
After a while, the sea boiled, and Carpenter, who was waiting on the sidelines, quickly got to work. He couldn't wait.
Accompanied by the beaker's seawater, drops of water slowly slide down from the spout of the No. 2 Erlenmeyer flask.
"Look, this is freshwater. You'll all be able to try it later. Bit said, pointing to a drop of water.
The people around all gathered around, all of them with curious faces. "It's amazing to be real! Just boil the sea water and it becomes fresh water! How reliable, bit! Roger looked at this scene and said with a happy face.
"Alabastan is saved!" Carpenter's face was excited. "That way, everyone won't have to bear the high freshwater drinking tax!"
"Do you think the cost of producing this fresh water is more expensive than the high freshwater drinking tax?" Bit actually didn't want to hit Carpenter.
"How much does it cost to make such a small glass of fresh water? This little water can be drunk by just one person. ”
After listening to Bit's words, Carpenter was not as excited as he was just now. "At least I see hope of success, and if I can get the king's help, the cost will definitely go down."
Bit shook his head and didn't say anything more. It is obvious that people with ulterior motives want to stir up public anger through this incident, how can it be so easy to do what he Carpenter wants?
Suddenly, Bit remembered something very important, if he wanted to stir up the anger of the people...... "Hey, Carpenter, is there already a rebel army in your country?" ”
Carpenter looked a little surprised, why would this outsider know about such a secret thing of the rebels? But he quickly became impatient.
"By the way, I remember Big Brother Doto told me that if I can't figure out how to make fresh water, he and his comrades will overthrow the king and take it by force! I have to go to Yuba to stop Big Brother Doto! ”
"Yuba? Doto? "Bit munched on the two familiar names. It's no wonder that Kosha organized a rebel army, it turned out to be a family heirloom. Bit couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect to get such an interesting piece of information.
Roger on the other side hammered his palm and said at the same time, "I have decided, go with you to Yuba." ”
Carpenter chose to refuse: "Thank you very much for helping me make fresh water, but the internal affairs of our country will not bother you." Could you please wait a little in the nearby town, we will definitely repay you! ”
Roger pressed his hat to his head. By the way, he twisted his neck. "It's okay, you go yours, we'll go ours. We need to resupply it anyway, so it doesn't matter where we go. ”
Carpenter looked at Roger, who was smiling brightly, and could no longer say anything about refusal. "Then I'll leave it to everyone along the way."
"That's nature!"
So the group followed Carpenter on his journey to Yuba. They were going to meet the leader of the would-be rebels, Doto.
In the scorching desert, Carpenter and Roger were on their way. They sat on a giant crab.
That's a specialty of the Alabastan desert, the moving crab.
"I didn't expect you to make such a wide range of friends, even crabs." Roger touched the moving crab under his butt with a look of admiration on his face.
"Click, click, click" Before Carpenter could speak, the mover turned to look at Roger on his back and clicked.
"Ah, so you're a moving crab hammer, sorry for calling your name wrong." After listening to the cry of the moving crab, Roger apologized to the moving crab with a sincere face.
"Click, click, click." The moving crab also generously forgave Roger.
"You can understand him!" Carpenter said in shock. He met a man who could understand the language of animals today!
"Is it hard to understand animals? I understand, too. Ah Jin said that it is as easy to understand the words of animals as it is to understand the words of humans.
"Hey, Roger is human, how can he be like you." In fact, Nuss herself was even more surprised when she first heard that Roger could understand animals, than Carpenter is now.
"I can understand animals, but only fish." Schalke also interjected at this time.
"You can understand the fish, you Schalke. It's amazing. Bit was surprised. He really couldn't imagine that this Schalke, who had given up his dignity, could understand the words of the fish. It seems that Roger is really discerning.
"Isn't it normal for a fish-man to understand a fish?" Young Reilly wasn't very clear about things like fish-people.
"I've heard that most of the fish people can't understand the language of fish, and only some very kind fish can understand the language of fish like mermaids." Bit saw Reilly's confusion and explained.
Reilly nodded, not saying anything. He was reminiscing, reminiscing about when Roger put Shalkla on the ship. "Can Roger even hear people's hearts?" Reilly couldn't help but look at Roger.
Roger seemed to sense Reilly's gaze, and he also turned his head to look at Reilly, revealing ...... An idiot-like smile.
“…… Idiot. Reilly cursed and withdrew his gaze. He knew that Roger couldn't hear people's hearts. "Then why does he think Schalke is a partner?"
In the silence of the desert, there were only groups of people on the road, and they were the only ones who occasionally heard conversations.
The next morning, when the temperature is at its most suitable. The people on the moving crab woke up from their sleep one after another.
"We'll be in Yuba in about two hours. It's a famous oasis in the desert. Carpenter said with a relieved face. When you get to Yuba, you can take care of it. ”
However, just as everyone was relaxed, Van Pica was the first to sense the danger. "Someone is coming, the one we met on the shore."
After listening to Van Pika's words, Carpenter unconsciously had a hideous look on his face, "He knows that I left Elmaru!" ”
"Whatever he knew, he knew anyway. Get ready for war. Reilly was very open-minded. Since you're chasing you, let's knock down the comer.
So the people listened. They turned around and looked in the direction of the comer.
After a while, a figure riding a duck rushed in front of everyone. It's Carthus. He's chasing after him alone!
