Chapter 6: The Aeolus Cult (2)

"Where are the people from the seas?"

"Found it, here! Come here, everyone! ”

Before Wright, who was still talking calmly just now, could react, the small wooden house was crowded with all kinds of islanders with strange weapons.

They looked at Wright with hatred and spurt, as if they were enemies, and it was really inexplicable.

"Wait, did you misunderstand something... I'm from the open sea, but..."

Before Wright could finish his explanation, someone in the crowd stepped forward to subdue him. Although Wright, who had just recovered some strength, could not exert his full strength yet, he certainly refused to sit still in this situation.

In the face of the unkind islanders, he saw the opportunity to hold down the palm of the opponent's outstretched hand, and then jumped directly off the bed with the help of force.

As a technician who is not known for his combat effectiveness, Wright's cultivation progress is far inferior to that of Hagrid and others, but he seems to have some talent in seeing and hearing domineering, using the training method he got from Abu, Wright can now be regarded as barely getting started, and can gain a little insight into the enemy's movements in the chaos of battle.

With this skill, coupled with the fighting skills that are obviously stronger than those of these ordinary islanders, Wright can fight with opponents who can't be used for a while in this small wooden house.

… Of course, in order not to deepen the misunderstanding, Wright will hardly greet the vital point when he shoots, and often only knocks the opponent back, never causing serious damage.

In this way, after a few rounds between the two sides, the islanders also found that they could not help the opponent in front of them, and finally stopped rushing to Wright, taking this opportunity, the navigator had room to explain.

"Don't get me wrong, my drifting to this island was a complete accident, I will leave as soon as I have the chance, please calm down..."

Wright carefully weighed his words, unwilling to continue the futile fight, but when he first arrived on Dragon's Nest Island, he did not grasp the point that the islanders cared about, and this seemingly harmless confession of humans and animals ignited everyone's anger again.

"Did you hear that? This guy even dares to offend the god of wind! ”

"Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Sacrifice him to the god of wind! ”

The boiling shouts nearly toppled the roof, and Wright noticed that the villagers had loaded some kind of strange cyan stone on the top of their wooden weapons, and aimed them directly in his direction.

Although he had never seen such a weapon before, and did not know how the other side would attack, the navigator who had just returned from the first half of the Great Voyage had clearly become accustomed to being cautious about the unknown.

So almost as soon as he was aimed, he immediately made a dodge move, but fortunately, for the time being, he didn't have to bear this fear of the unknown.

"Enough! Stop it! ”

Gong Changye stood in front of Wright, staring viciously at the villagers with murder weapons in their hands.

His hair and beard exploded like cat hair and tangled up with each other, almost like some kind of long, narrow broad leaves.

"Did I invent these jet canes for you to use to hurt innocent people? Get out of here! ”

Changye Gong obviously has a high status on the island, and under his reprimand, the angry islanders actually suspended their attack, and they looked at each other in a bit of confusion, as if they were hesitating about something.

"Father-in-law Changye... But that man offended the god of wind..."

"What Anemoly!? As I said a long time ago, it's just a big cyclone! That's a natural phenomenon! It's not a god! ”

Before the villagers finished speaking, the old man immediately jumped up in anger: "I don't care if you throw so many precious materials into the sea every year to sacrifice, do you still want to kill people now?" Are you crazy? ”

"Father-in-law Changye, how can you say that, this is the order of the priest, how can you be disrespectful to the wind god!"

"Humph! If there is really a divine punishment, let him come to me to try, the old man is old, but he really wants to open his eyes! ”

Changye Gong didn't give an inch, and the islanders couldn't screw this old man, and it was not easy to get past him to capture Wright.

And from Wright's point of view, who watched the whole process, he also understood a little bit of the inside story at this time... It seems that the inhabitants of the island seem to regard the storm that blockades the entire Dragon's Nest Island as some kind of god, and because of this, they have developed a belief, which is why they show such hostility towards him, an alien who invades from the outside and offends the wind god.

But... There is really no good way to solve this kind of thing that involves religious beliefs.

In this isolated paradise, the residents of Dragon's Nest Island have their own set of survival rules, and it is almost impossible for Wright, as an outsider, to convince them that all this is just feudal superstition.

- The simplest and most direct way to solve this problem is to bring in external forces to reintegrate this isolated island into the social system in the infinite world, so that the huge impact from technology and culture will completely destroy the old backward system.

But if you start from this aspect, the problem is back to square one... If you don't find a way to break through this terrible storm circle, everything will be empty talk.

Thinking of this, Wright couldn't help but smile bitterly at this dead knot.

He knew that if the person who was stranded on the desert island was Douglas, the godfather would have been able to do better, but unfortunately, he didn't have that ability.

At this moment, the crowd outside the house was in an uproar again, and the people spontaneously moved out of the way and respectfully welcomed a young man in a white robe.

He was dark-skinned, holding a spear and a scepter in each hand, and walked barefoot on the rugged reef.

The islanders who had been scolded by Changye Gong for a while greeted him and saluted him one after another, and came to the house surrounded him.

The young man seemed to be accustomed to such treatment, and he glanced at Wright with amber eyes, and then turned to the old man.

"Changye Gong, blasphemy is a very serious sin, even you can't talk nonsense and slander the wind god."

He paused, then raised his scepter and pointed it at the two of them

"Therefore, you will all be punished by God!"
