Chapter 301: Negotiation
The village of Amber, where Anli Fengbo is located, is a little lower in front of it, and you can see the pointed roofs in the distance, the triangular roof is very exaggerated, almost the same length as the bungalows below, and torches are planted around the village at intervals to prevent the invasion of Caicai insects.
Leaning against the holes in the conical gelatinous nests near the rocks, the heads of several painted insects poked out, and they quickly retracted after finding nothing.
Bypassing the nests of painted insects that spread hundreds of meters in rows, Bucky and his party picked a secluded road to the entrance of the village under the guidance of Onli Fengbo.
"Everyone, I'm back!"
After seeing Onli Fengbo, a group of villagers wearing blue ordinary shorts, stockings pulled up to their knees, and colorful feathers pinned to their waists rushed to the entrance of the village, with a happy face, "Great, Onli, you are finally back!" ”
"You're not hurt, are you?!"
"Onli, who are they?"
The middle-aged man with five feathers on his waist squinted tiredly at Bucky's group pacing behind Anli Feng Bo, and the villagers also looked back at this time, their faces puzzled.
"Lord Bose." Onlly Feng Bo hurriedly said, "They are foreign travelers......
"We're pirates." Bucky interrupted Onri Fengbo's words and walked forward, looking at the middle-aged man, "He is now our prisoner, I asked him to bring me here. ”
After hearing this, the villagers immediately drew their weapons and looked at Bucky and his party with wary faces.
"Stop, everybody!"
Onli Feng Bo knew that the strength of Bucky's party was very strong, and said in a deep voice, "Don't mess around...... Don't provoke him. ”
Obviously, Onli Fengbo had a lot of prestige in the village, and after saying this, the villagers hesitantly lowered their weapons a little, and looked at Bose, who was standing in the middle, waiting for his idea.
Bosch looked at Bucky and said with some pity, "Alien pirates, there won't be anything you want in the village, so you'd better leave this island...... lest the whole army be annihilated under the attack of colored insects. ”
"No, here's what I'm looking for." Bucky Road.
"What do you want?"
"This whole island."
As the words fell, Bose's eyes widened suddenly, his body turned, and he came in a whirlwind, his body turned into an afterimage, and he jumped into the air in an instant, and the long stick held in his right hand slashed towards Bucky.
Bucky's right hand was wrapped around the weapon-colored domineering, and he lifted it upwards to block the long stick, and his left hand leaned back, and he suddenly stretched forward, and the finger gun shot forward like a cannonball.
Suddenly, Bose's body flew upside down and landed on the ground more than ten meters away, and the long stick came out of his hand.
The momentary exchange between the two made the villagers stunned, and they were stunned in place before they could react.
"Will you still be armed with color domineering?" Bucky withdrew his hand and looked at Bos, who staggered to his feet, who covered the wound in his abdomen with one hand and picked up the long stick with the other, a drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead, and he muttered, "What a powerful guy......"
As he spoke, his tone became much more humble, "With this kind of strength, you want to rule this island...... I have no problem – if you feel like you can do it. ”
The change in the other party's attitude made Bucky's brows can't help but raise his eyebrows, and he said in his heart, "Was his attack just now testing me?" He asked, "Why not?" ”
"The island is not safe," said Bosch, "and I think you've seen the creatures on your way here, and we're facing their attacks now, and we're running out of sight, and even the village is about to be destroyed...... Since you have the guts to be the master of this island, come to the village with me, I will help you, and there are some things about the painted insects, if you want to rule, this is also a problem that you must solve. ”
"Lord Bose?!"
The villagers looked at Bos in amazement, they didn't think at all that there would be something hidden behind the Painted Bug Riot that could not be made public, but now listening to Bose's tone, things are not so simple......
"Oh?!"
This intrigued Bucky, who paced towards the village, "Then I'll listen to ......"
……
Bose's residence was in the middle of the village, and he was reluctant to make it public, fearing that it would cause panic among the villagers, so he took Bucky to his residence.
On the road passing by Both's residence, in the fence, a little Lori with dark skin but unexpectedly beautiful waited with an anxious face, until she saw her father, the anxiety on her face instantly turned into joy and pounced.
Onli Feng Bo opened his arms, caught the little Lori, laughed, and handed the pancakes wrapped in leaves in the morning to his daughter.
Little Lori happily took it, chewed it in her mouth, and made a "popping" sound.
"Hey, you don't have any thoughts about this kind of underage little girl, do you?"
Lilina looked at Bucky, who was slowing down and staring at the father and daughter of Onli Fengbo, and asked in a very clever whisper.
"I'm not so ashamed...... I'm not so ashamed," Bucky shrugged, "let's go." ”
"Cut ......" Lilina looked at the other party's back and snickered.
Bose stopped in front of a slightly larger, high-roofed room and pushed the door in, "Please come in." ”
Bucky left the accompanying pirates in the village to look after the situation, and he and a few crew members went into the house.
The room wasn't as small as it looked from the outside, but it was very spacious, the floor and table were cleaned, and Bucky dusted off his chair and sat down.
Lilina, Mochi, and Shuma also picked a seat.
Bose poured a cup of tea for each of them, took a deep breath, and told him about the painted insects, and Bucky learned the whole thing.
In the middle of the island is a large town called the Shrine, which is run by the most noble [National Priest], and there is a vein that has been excavated for hundreds of years next to the Shrine, and under the order of the [National Priest], countless miners have been digging day and night, and this vein produces not ordinary ore, but an energy stone called [M].
This mineral is the core energy source of the island, and in the past, the M mine was mined every other year, only for a month, and the cycle continued, so that the island's own regulation system allowed the island to continue to maintain its natural balance.
However, in the past few years, the national festival in the festival center has continued to increase the number of miners and frequently mine M ore, which has led to a natural phenomenon rebound on the island, that is, the colorful insects that did not actively attack humans have become afraid of their environment, and have launched large-scale attacks to kill humans as the culprits.
After this happened, the village sent sentinels to the shrine several times to talk, but the national festival turned a deaf ear to the casualties of the villagers in the surrounding villages, and continued to vigorously mine the veins.
Until now, the number of painted insects crawling out of the nest is increasing, and their aggression is getting stronger and stronger, even if the village is moved, but as long as they do not leave the island, no matter where they migrate, they can only end up with a doom.
Bosch revealed this to Bucky, also with his strong subjective purpose: to stop the act of the state priest.
Because he knew that he couldn't do this with his own strength, his level was only five according to Ling Yu, and above the fifth level, there were sixth, seventh, and eighth level warriors, and these warriors gathered around the national sacrifice, and the crusade was undoubtedly an ant shaking the tree.
However, Bucky's strong confidence and strength gave Bosch a glimmer of hope that he could overthrow the rule of the national sacrifice, stop the mining of M mines, and stop the villagers from being attacked by the plague of painted insects, and it made no difference to him who would be the ruler of the island.
Bucky thought about it for a while, his eyes lit up slightly, isn't it a great opportunity to overthrow the tyrant and rightfully succeed to the throne?
That's what Doflamingo did.
After listening to the story, everyone nodded suddenly, "I see." ”
"Lord Bose, another colorworm has rushed in!"
At this moment, an anxious shout sounded outside, and Bosch hurriedly grabbed the stick and walked out, "I'm here!" ”
"Let's do something too." Bucky stood up and looked out the window.
……
The riot of the colored insects was quelled with the assistance of the pirates brought by Bucky, compared to the previous three or five, the number of rushing into the village this time was more, about more than ten, three villagers were injured, and were rushed to the infirmary, one died on the spot, it was an old woman over sixty years old, sitting at home, but was broken through the window by a colored insect, and was bitten to death directly, and the appearance was very miserable when he died, so that people could not look at it directly.
After the body of the old woman was quickly cremated, the whole village was shrouded in a lingering haze, and all the villagers were in a very low mood, and many people were thinking that maybe it would be their turn next.
Bose slammed his fist to the ground with anger and reluctance, "You see, the behavior of the painted insects is getting more and more irritable, and even the flames are almost unable to stop their invasion!" ”
“……”
Bucky sat on a stake, his eyes twinkling, "See." ”
"Lilina, tell everyone to stop exploring for the time being, stay in the camp together, and tell the six captains of Ryan, Carr, August, Tink, Jas, and Doyle to come to this village and let Dino come too...... We're going to do a big thing next. ”
"Got it."
Lilina dialed the captains' phone bugs one by one, gave orders, and gave everyone detailed instructions on how to get to the village.
A few hours later, the six captains gathered in the village with most of the elite of the Bucky Pirates.
Seeing the pirates in front of him who looked deterrent, Bose's gloomy face stretched slightly, if there was such a powerful force...... I think we can change the fate of this island!
Bosch took out a pen and paper, drew a topographical map of the various buildings and surroundings of the shrine from his own recollections, and handed it to Bucky.
The town is located on the plain, connected to the ore veins to the south, and leans against a hill and natural lake to the north, according to the scale of the drawings provided, the size of the town should be about the same size as the city of Weilan that I have visited before, but this town does not have a wall, just an ordinary fence, and in the middle of the town, there is a large main building, just from the drawings drawn by Bosch, it is not clear whether it is a castle or a building, but there is no doubt that the state priest who has made a lot of promises lives here.
Mochi looked at the topographical map, "Captain Bucky, are we going straight into this town?" ”
"Is the time now?" Bucky turned to look at Bosch.
"I've talked to the heads of other villages before, and the villages over there are already complaining, and the people who live in the shrine are now also panicking, and if you are willing to help overthrow the rule of the national festival, I think everyone on the island will welcome you."
"Hmm......" Bucky muttered for a moment, looking at the scheming MR.3, "what do you think?" ”
MR.3 HURRIEDLY PUT FORWARD HIS OWN SUGGESTION, "CAPTAIN BUCKY, SINCE WE ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE POSITION OF THE RULER, I THINK WE SHOULD FIRST FIND OUT THE ATTITUDES OF THOSE PEOPLE IN THE TOWN, OTHERWISE EVEN IF WE KILL THAT NATIONAL SACRIFICE, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THE PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND SUBMIT TO YOU, AND YOU CAN ONLY ADOPT HIGH-PRESSURE RULE WHEN THE TIME COMES, WHICH WILL EASILY TRIGGER A BACKLASH...... And I don't think the time is ripe yet to capture hearts and minds when the casualties of these islanders continue to mount and everyone is in despair, and then you appear as a savior! ”
"I don't think it's appropriate, although we do have to figure out the timing, but we can't just delay."
Doyle suddenly retorted, "The poison of those colored insects is very strong, and the number is very large, if the number of colored insects dispatched is not based on the calculation of increasing by a hundred per day, but by multiplying it by two per day, then in a few days, the situation will develop to a point beyond our control." ”
"Doyle has a point." Mochi nodded, "Take this village as an example, yesterday there were only a few colored insects invading, but today there are more than a dozen, and if it continues to delay, maybe everyone in this village will be killed, even if this village will not, we can't guarantee that other villages will only get a ruin in the end." ”
"Do big things without being informal." Jas sipped his cigar and clasped his arms to his chest, "Only after sacrifice will people feel fear and cherish, help for no reason will not be appreciated, maybe they will only feel that it is deserved, I don't think we need to rush to do it now, wait and see." ”
"In the final analysis, since you are ready to rule this place, population resources are also a resource, and the larger the base, the stronger the national strength." Louis. Karl touched his beard, "On the other hand, if there are too many casualties, it will be a loss for us...... Late will change. ”
Tink said indifferently, "Seconded." ”
Moses. August spoke with a holy light, "They may be lost like lambs now...... It will take the light of Satan's faith to illuminate their path! ”
"You're right to say it's okay, Moses!" Jody. Ryan scolded, raising his half-beastly right hand, "Just kill all the painted insects on the island, so we have plenty of time to implement the plan." ”
"Even if we were able to do this, we wouldn't be able to do it, and we probably wouldn't have become so popular without the threat posed by the paintworms......" Lilina looked at Bucky, "What the hell is going to do?" ”
