Chapter 295: Change!
The giant pod didn't really need to be climbed like a rock climb, and at the time when Gan Fore still ruled Angel Island, as a "good god", he didn't have the lofty idea of Anilu in the future.
A spiraling wooden ladder winds its way up around the giant pod, connecting the ground to the sky.
Instead of teleporting directly to the top, Ron slowly walked along the wooden ladder with Gan Fu and the others.
When they walked to the middle of the pods, at this height, the entire Angel Island was in full view.
Clusters of white clouds carry snow-white and gorgeous houses floating in the sky, dotted like stars in the empty, blue sky. Below, the endless White Sea, where clouds roll and rise one after another, and the flattened fish characteristic of the sky island rise into the sky, pulling a rainbow in the sun.
"What a beautiful sight!"
Ron sighed heartily.
Although he started on Sky Island, he didn't have time to pay attention to the beauty of Bika at that time. Unable to distinguish between Island Cloud and Sea Cloud, he plunged headlong into the sea and almost fell down and drowned.
"Thanks for the compliment......"
Ganfort smiled modestly, but the smugness that could not be concealed in the smile was clearly visible.
He has a mount named Pierre, who eats the fruit of a horse and a Pegasus in the form of a Pegasus.
After establishing trade relations with the navy, Gan Fuer flew to Qinghai many times to learn about the customs and customs of the Qinghai islands. As a result, he found that no matter how many Baths there were in Qinghai, the beauty of the empty island was unique and unparalleled in the world!
This is their hometown.
He's proud of it!
"The view is nice, but the people are ...... Not necessarily! ”
Suddenly, Ron's tone changed, and Ganfuor's face became solemn.
Nothing to do is go to the Three Treasures Palace, Ron's arrival is very meaningful.
Continuing upwards and following the long wooden ladder, the group finally came to a place above the pods, interspersed with large island clouds.
The island cloud here is actually the same as the island cloud where the Dia people currently live in the pod lower mountain...... Tribe? 400 years ago, it was no different from the ubiquitous island clouds on Angel Island, but as the pods grew, they were gradually pushed to this position.
As a result, successive rulers built a shrine here as a residence for the gods.
The real clouds are built with a large dwelling place of gods, and the towering white walls are left with cross-shaped red curtains every few tens of meters.
As a symbol of God, I have to say that this place is indeed very imposing.
It is not as iron-blooded and inviolable as the main fortress of Marinfodo, but it is an ethereal, ethereal, and awe-inspiring momentum.
Henry and the navy soldiers who accompanied him were here for the first time, and they were dumbfounded by what they saw.
"Incredible, such a large complex!"
"Is this paradise?!"
Although they knew that the navy was not easy to mess with, seeing that the navy was so shocked, the accompanying officers still showed smug smiles.
The last time I came here, the general staff of the Navy Headquarters, the old woman named Tsuru, couldn't help but be amazed, let alone ordinary soldiers.
"Lieutenant General Ron, please come with me."
The priest at the door pushed open the door, and Gan Fuer stepped forward and led everyone into the hinterland of the shrine.
The soldiers were left out to stand in a military position, and Ron only led Henry with Ganfort to the center of the shrine, under a pavilion with no walls on all sides.
It is worth mentioning that the disciplined and forbidden demeanor of the navy seems to make the officers feel a little nervous, which is different from their worship of the gods, which is an instinct to simply obey orders.
So these officers, who had always tried their best to show themselves only in front of Ganful, stood motionless outside the door with their heads held high at the moment, in the cold wind surging high in the air, together with the naval soldiers.
Both sides are on the bar!
In the pavilion, after a brief cup of tea, Ron got straight to the point: "Presumably Mr. Gamwell should already know my intentions...... That's right! The problem of shellfish smuggling on the empty island must be curbed! ”
"Huh? Is it already that serious?! ”
Gampour's surprise at not faking it made Ron a little surprised, and the former turned around and asked the only priest who was in the pavilion.
"McKinley, didn't you say it couldn't be a problem?!"
"Right...... I'm sorry, God! ”
This strong man is none other than McKinley, the captain of the White Beret Force on the Sky Island in the original book, and he is a good man who tries his best to protect the inhabitants of the Sky Island under the oppression of Anilu. At this moment, he knelt on the ground in fear and told the truth.
"The pirates who smuggled in from Qinghai have barely been able to get shellfish under our suppression, but they are ......"
McKinley hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly: "It's just that except for the special control shellfish, ordinary shellfish are not under the management of the Divine Palace." Most of the hot shells and wind shells that we trade with the navy are also purchased from those compatriots who own the shellfish. ”
"The laws of the islands give them absolute control over their shellfish, and most of the smuggling ...... In fact, they are behind the scenes. ”
What is the best money to make in the world?
The answer is war money!
The conflict between the Sky Island and the Sandians lasted for four hundred years, and although it was not a major war, it also left supplies desperately scarce.
Therefore, during the previous war, some wealthy merchants on the empty island made a lot of war money, and even asked God to change the law for them, so that the rights that belonged to the gods were in their own hands, and they controlled the life of the shellfish supply line.
Since he was limited to shellfish, Ganfort didn't pay much attention at first.
After all, who to do business with is not to do, long-term large orders those rich businessmen are happy to see it.
But Qinghai's pursuit of shellfish made them not content to just do business with Ganful, and they set their sights on Qinghai, and even engaged in dangerous smuggling.
Boom!
"Nonsense!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gan Fuer angrily slapped the table with a bang.
"Do these bastards know that this is provoking enemies on Sky Island?!"
Not to mention that the navy needs a large number of shellfish, and those shellfish alone will attract countless prying eyes for the empty island.
They are walking on thin ice in contact with Qinghai, and they are careful at every step for fear of making mistakes. As a result, the group of merchants did not just hold back, but simply opened the door and said to the hyenas and vultures outside the door: "Come on, I have a treasure here!" ”
If you are not careful, a big war will start!
"Businessmen pursue profits, although there are wise people who still stick to their hearts and dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool, but in the face of doubled, tenfold, or even hundredfold profits, it is normal for some people to take risks."
Ron took a sip of tea lightly, and the exchange between the two didn't reveal much, but it also made him guess a lot of things.
"As a righteous person who maintains peace on the sea, it is reasonable for the Navy to exterminate the criminals, but since the law of your empty island makes this matter legal, then this time...... The Navy can't help you. ”
Ganfort froze and looked at Ron hesitantly.
"Lieutenant General Ron means ......"
If the Navy can't make a move, then what is Ron's purpose? Gamwell didn't believe that Ron would do so much, and of all the information about Ron, the city was extremely deep and insidious, and it was the most talked about.
This kind of person will definitely not do useless work!
"I can inform the Marshal of the difficulties of the Sky Island, and let the various naval branches of the Great Voyage take action and cooperate with you in pursuing the smuggling of the Sky Island merchants. But this is only a palliative and not a cure, and if you want to solve the problem once and for all, you need Mr. Ganfuer......"
"Break it off!"
With a smile on Ron's lips, he uttered a blood-filled word: "Change!" ”
