Chapter Seventy-Three: The Wind Rises

The first half of the Great Voyage, Folchat.

Due to the unique magnetic field of the island, two-thirds of the year is dry and rainless, and it is difficult for various food crops on the island to survive, and most of the land is a variety of shrubs of different heights, adapted to the grass cover plants and mosses of the arid zone.

Of course, the most growing plant here is the cactus.

This is the source of most of the income of the island's residents, and the fruit of the cactus is sweet, tender and juicy, and is generally eaten fresh.

Local residents pay more attention to economic value, and the fruit is deeply processed and added with honey, fresh milk and other products to make fresh and sweet juice. Some of them are also sold as sake brewed through a special process.

Moreover, the fatty meat of cactus is rich in a variety of trace elements and a lot of water, which is the main feed for animal husbandry on the island.

Therefore, this place, which should not be very suitable for human habitation, has unexpectedly made the residents here very rich.

Coupled with the popularity of beverages, meat, liquor, etc., the port has a significant deal to offer, even though the island is in the first half of the Great Shipping Route that is not a major shipping lane.

A corner of the island, the village of Twincotyledons.

The previously peaceful village was now enveloped by an inexplicable aura of panic.

Fish-man hero Fisher Tiger and his Sun Pirates, who liberated Mary Joa's thousands of slaves, suddenly visit a relatively rich village.

Brought back the little villager who had been missing for a few years, Kerra.

However, as a group of ordinary residents, facing the Sun Pirates led by Fisher Tiger, who is wanted all over the world and has a bounty of 230 million Bailey.

They can't be as calm as they are with the merchants who usually come and go to the village, and they can even bring a bit of a philistine.

Because this group of people can easily destroy the entire village, and even more so because this is a group of fishmen.

You must know that the reputation of the fish-people is not so good in everyone's perception, arrogant, cruel, powerful, rude, etc., these are all synonymous with them.

In the village chief's house, the door of the innermost room is closed.

The room was filled with smoke, and the three people sitting around the small table were the most famous people in the village.

Joseph, the head of the village, was an old man with gray hair, he gently knocked the pipe in his hand, and sporadic sparks jumped out of the pipe, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "My opinion is to report to the navy, it is said that they will stay here for a while, no one knows if they will always be as disciplined as they are now, you must know that this is a mob with a reward of more than 200 million Baileys." ”

"I agree that it is obviously irresponsible to all the villagers to put their lives in the hands of such a group of people and live by their kindness." It was the fat man Rand King, the richest businessman in the village, who worked under him for at least half of the entire village.

Both looked at the last middle-aged man who was silent, he was the government police stationed in the village, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, he had a resolute face and a strong physique.

As a well-known commercial island in the waterway, Forchate pays a fraction of the taxes it pays every year. Having money naturally attracts the greedy eyes of all kinds of hyenas at sea, so it is only natural to maintain a close relationship with the navy.

As the only policeman in the village of Twinkoleba, Foglis is the link that holds the navy together, and his decision plays a crucial role.

"It's not that simple, you must know that this is the hero of the fish-man, the man who made a big fuss about Mary Joya alone." Foglis finally spoke, his voice deep and magnetic, "Moreover, his pirate group is not some small minions, ordinary fishmen have ten times the strength of adult humans, and those cadres on his ship are also very powerful characters." ”

As a retired navyman, Foglis's insight in this area was far inferior to that of even the well-informed businessman Rand King.

"What then? They can't be allowed to run rampant here. "The old village chief is a bit jumpy.

When the pirates visited today, his little grandson was almost killed by the jagged-nosed thief because he said that these fishmen were so ugly and terrifying.

If it hadn't been for the chubby blue fish-man vice-captain to stop him, his little grandson might have died a long time ago.

That's why he was in a hurry to consult with the two most powerful people in the village.

Of course, there is no intention to protect the villagers, after all, it is impossible to be alone under the nest.

Rand King snorted his big belly, took a hard puff of his cigar, and exhaled the smoke: "Foglis, is there any way to say it, if there is a need for me, I will not refuse." ”

Compared with the anxious village chief and old man, there is no doubt that this fat man, who has done a lot of business, can get closer to the essence by looking at people and things.

What's more, if he loses the base of the village, his loss will be the biggest in the entire village, and there is no one.

If it weren't for the fact that most of his possessions were in the village, he would have been ready to run away.

I secretly decided that when this incident passed, I would have to transfer some of my property.

Foglis didn't go around in circles, after all, he was also a member of the village of Twin Leaves - his wife and daughter were notoriously beautiful in the village, and who knew what would happen.

He took out a stack of newspapers to which the old man usually subscribed from under Joseph's desk, flipped through them quickly, then paused somewhere, and pulled out a slightly crumpled one.

Syllable......

Spread it out and slap it on the table.

His voice sank, and he said in a low but resolute tone: "My method is to report this matter directly to the Navy Headquarters, believing that the criminals wanted in this world will attract those powerful monsters, so that this group of fishmen can be wiped out." ”

The old village chief and the fat man Jin looked at the newspaper on the table at the same time.

In the dimly lit room, through the smoke of the smoke, you can see the newspaper under the palm of your hand, and a picture of a colonel smiling like a fool who has won the 2.5 million jackpot......

The butterfly stirred its wings, and finally caused the storm brewing on the other end to deviate from its original trajectory.

…………

Naval headquarters Marin Vando, Mawson's head is a little big at this time.

Since the end of the holiday for more than half a month, he has been living in dire straits.

There's no way, anyone who encounters such an unreliable bastard who only knows how to break his own donut record all day long, or is looking for a certain general to rub the fairy shell to eat, no one will be able to complain.

As an adjutant of such a chief, the workload can be imagined.

However, Mawson is not a vegetarian after all, as the new No. 1 thorn in the Navy Headquarters, his one-handed 'hands-off shopkeeper' skill has also been perfected recently.

The official level crushed people to death, and Mr. Lu Xun did not deceive me.

As Mawson thought about the famous quote, he threw a document on his desk next to him.

"Major Bogart, you can take care of this document."

The paper flowed like antelope horns on the desk on the other side without a trace of fireworks, and Mawson couldn't help but applaud his approach.

Bogart: I really want to kill this stinky guy who doesn't want Bilian.

Brubru, Brubru......

The phone bug on Mawson's desk suddenly rang, and it was a certain general with an explosive head.

"Mawson, come to my office right away."
