Chapter 46: Inhumanity (I)
"Isn't the story you're telling about what happened on this island before?" Recalling what Milos had said and what Phyllis had said and what Anderson and Cullen had said now, comparing the words of the two, Phyllis found that although there were some differences between them, the general meaning was completely the same.
"Yes!"
Staring at Phyllis with a reminiscing expression, he replied, Anderson, Cullen knew that Milos told him everything he knew, so he didn't lie.
"And what's going on with the villagers of this island? Why are you so obedient to pirates? After listening to a lot, it had nothing to do with his own task, and Phyllis said a little annoyingly.
"In the story, I mentioned that every time that knife kills a person, the blood and energy of that person will be sucked dry! And that knife is the weapon sealed on the altar, and as it has not absorbed blood for a long time, the sword with a spirit has developed a new ability, that is, it can absorb the blood of a human body without touching it. It's just that it doesn't absorb much! Generally, you won't find it, and you can only find out if you live on this island for more than ten years, or decades! Without touching that knife here, it already has the ability to absorb human blood! If you want to be the owner of this knife and don't feed it, you can't use it at all! So in order to get this weapon, Hades let his men kill a lot of people! Seeing that Phyllis was a little annoying, Anderson Helen also knew that although she had a lot of words, she really didn't get to the point, so she began to tell the problem.
"What do you mean is that the diseases infected by the villagers on this island are all due to blood loss, and the pirates are taking advantage of this to threaten you, and with your cooperation, the villagers will obey the pirates so much" Hearing this, Phyllis was a little stunned, and quickly reacted, questioning: "No, a disease like this can be discovered by any doctor, why hasn't anyone found it so far?" And why did those pirates know that this weapon existed on this island? ”
"Alas! Now, I have to tell the truth! Listening to Phyllis's questioning words later, Anderson Helen sighed and said: "Actually, the brother mentioned in the story is my ancestor, and before he died, he asked his descendants to keep this knife for generations, just because he didn't want his sister to be lonely."
"So that means that your ancestors, or you, in order to conceal this matter, let the villagers live on this island all the time, and give the doctor on the island" Hearing this, Phyllis was startled, glared angrily at Anderson Helen, and immediately interrupted him.
"Nope! I didn't kill them, I just drove the doctor out of the island, and I don't know about my ancestors! Seeing Phyllis glaring into his eyes, Anderson Helen interrupted him and vetoed.
"I was a little emotional just now, I'm sorry!" Remembering the wrong reply just now, Phyllis looked at Anderson Helen with an apologetic expression, although he didn't know if he lied, but Phyllis felt that what he said was very correct according to the problems on the island, so he began to ask the next question: "Then why do the villagers on the island know that there is this knife on the island?" ”
"The captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates, Hades, was once and is a native of our island, as for why he knew about the things on the altar, he should have sneaked into the altar now, and there is a legend, so he found out about this! But he probably didn't know what was going on, he just knew that there was a knife sealed on the altar," replied Anderson Helen.
"Then why don't the villagers on the island know him? There are a lot of people in the Ghost Hand Pirates, but they can live without alarming the villagers? "Phyllis still has doubts,
"Hedes was only a teenager when he left the island, and he went to sea to be a pirate for a few years, and it was normal for the villagers on the island not to recognize him: and why not alarm the villagers, blame me for this! Five years ago, Hades led the pirates back to this island, and at that time I thought his hometown was here, and he must have missed his hometown when he came back today! Considering that they were pirates, he let them live without alarming the villagers, but what he didn't expect was that he came back for the knife! Speaking of the back, Anderson Helen's eyes were a little moist, and he didn't want to mention it, but he had to say it.
"I don't blame you for this, after all, you didn't know that Hades returned to his hometown for that knife!" Seeing Anderson Helen crying again, Phyllis shook his head at him and told him not to take all the responsibility on his body, after all, Hades is a sea thief with a bounty of more than 500 million, and in the face of him, it would be good for ordinary people to survive!
Most of the problem was solved, but Phyllis still had doubts, so he asked, "Why did you want Milos to ask for help from outside, and not let Hades take that knife out directly?" ”
"It's not that I didn't think about asking Hades to take this knife out directly, after all, my wife and children are in his hands, but under that altar, there is a huge crater! In the past, there was no magma under the rift, because there was an altar to suppress it at that time, plus the great swordsman locked the altar with eight huge iron chains, and the magma below did not have that much power to hold up the altar, not to mention that there were eight huge chains to lock the altar! And just more than ten years ago, suddenly a large amount of magma emerged from those cracks, and the weight of the altar was almost unable to suppress the magma below, but fortunately, there were eight huge chains that locked the altar rigidly, and the magma below could not gush out! And that knife is the eight chains that connect together, once the knife is pulled out of it, the eight chains will not be able to lock the altar, and the magma in the ground will open the altar and rise to the sky, and soon the whole island will be submerged, and then there will be no life left on the whole island! Because of my ancestors, the villagers of the island have been suffering on this island all year round, how could I watch them die to prevent this from happening, and I was watched by pirates, after all, I was the only one who knew the truth, so I found Milos, and troubled him to go to sea and bring someone who could punish Hedes! But I didn't expect that Milos would be discovered" Saying this, Anderson Helen's already moist eyes suddenly shed a lot of tears.
"Humph! I want to keep the last words left by my ancestors and keep the knife, but I don't want the villagers to suffer! Actually, you also took advantage of the pirates! Let them kill, and use blood to keep the soul in that knife from hunger and thirst! No matter what the final outcome is, as the son and grandson of the blacksmith, she has more or less made amends for her! After listening to the final result, Phyllis connected all the words that Anderson Helen had said in his mind, and he found that Anderson Helen was not as good as he thought.
Who is Hand Hades? That's a man with a bounty of more than 500 million, how can he go out and find an opponent against him? He told Milos to go and find someone to help the villagers, isn't that?
"That's right! It's all my fault, as long as the villagers are rescued, I will make a judgment about the sins I have committed" For what he said, Phyllis deduced his intentions, Anderson Helen did not refute this, because the most painful thing in his heart was this matter! He regretted very much why he would let so many innocent people die at the hands of pirates for his own selfish interests, for the sake of his wife and children, and even ended up with the villagers on the island.
