"Don't go! Don't leave! The captain of the cage, called Hierro, shouted at Vere. Come back, this friend, what can't you say to your face? ”

Vere stopped. …… Knocking on the iron tendons of the cage, Vere felt that he could keep it by his own strength.

"How did you get stuck here? Are there any other Star Spirits here? ”

"That's a long story...... Give me! …… But if you're looking for the Star Spirit, I'll be the only one on this island. Captain Hierro snatched the sword from the old monkey's hand and put it back on his waist. Hmm~ Look at the way you look, you're not a star spirit...... Or do you just look like this? Yes! By the way, friend, where are you from? Captain Hierro said to Wille in a tone that was completely contrary to his appearance, and it was only when he snatched the sword that he showed a hint of fierceness.

"We're looking for a monkey." Instead of answering him directly, Wer stood in front of the cage and looked at the monkeys around him, "That monkey took the hoof of a pigman. ”

"From Pigman Island...... So, what are you looking for? Hierro's falcon-like eyes turned around with a sly look. As he spoke, he took out the pigman hoof that Veer was looking for from somewhere.

Pease, who was standing beside Weel, lost his blood color at once, and the monkey armor saw it and blindfolded him.

"Give it to me!" Wiel stretched his hand forward, and Captain Hierro withdrew his hand holding the pigman's hoof, "Oh? It looks like it's a valuable thing...... It should be a good chip. ”

Captain Hierro shrank back, his eyes sharpened, and he looked to his neck. A spear suddenly appeared in Will's hand, the tip of which was pressed against Captain Hierro's neck through the iron fence.

"I don't want to say a third time, give it to me!" Captain Hierro whistled and looked at Vere with some playfulness, "Yes, yes, I can give it to you...... Reach out. As soon as Wiel raised his hand in front of him, Hierro threw his hoof high, and suddenly a shadow appeared in the air, and with a whoosh, took the pig's trotter away. In an instant, it disappeared into the woods.

"If you kill me, I can guarantee that you'll never get that thing again." Captain Hierro pointed his finger to the side of the spear and looked at Veel, who was burning in anger. "Take it easy, friend, as long as I'm here, that thing won't be lost. Right now...... Can we talk about it? ”

Wiel slowly lowered his spear, "I hope you'll give me a reasonable reason for a moment." ”

"You can rest assured that you will know what you want...... As long as your price is reasonable, as long as I know, there is nothing I can't say. Captain Hierro said to Wer with a grin, completely unable to see the sharpness and momentum just now. But before the two of us talk, you should probably comfort your partner next to you, shouldn't you? If he wants to take a break, go to the room over there, it should be pretty good, it's the reception room I got these stupid monkeys to get out. ”

Then he turned to the old monkey and said, "Let them all go, and ...... Go and get me some food, and let me entertain these guests. The old monkey roared around, and the monkeys scattered in their respective directions, and the old monkey beckoned a monkey as strong as an orangutan and followed him deeper into the village.

Weir squatted down, hugged the stunned Pease, and patted him on the back with his hand, "It's okay, it's okay...... Pease, go to the next room first......" he said, picking up Pease and walking towards the side of the hut.

After a while, Willow came out and returned to the side of the iron cage, and Captain Hierro watched for a long time as Willow slowly came to his front. "Before we talk, I have to make sure that one thing, is the killer of that pigman one of these monkeys?"

Hierro glanced at the monkey armor standing there without moving, and then looked back at Will, with a sigh in his eyes, "You have already given me the answer, why do you ask?" …… Of course not, with these stupid monkeys alone, they can kill this pigman under your care? …… Or were you not there at all when the pigman was killed? Hmm~ And that child's reaction...... Well, it looks like that kid should know. That pig man seems to have a lot to do with that child......" His eyes were sharp, as if they could penetrate people's hearts, "Then why don't you ask that child directly, but go to great lengths to come here and ask me?" Don't? That kid is mute? ”

"Looks like I guessed right......" Captain Hierro approached the front of the cage and leaned tightly on the iron railing, "why don't we make a deal?" ”

Weir narrowed his eyes and looked at Captain Hierro viciously, "Then tell me, who is that murderer?!" ”

Captain Hierro waved his hand, "I'll give you the pigman's hooves, and you help me get out of this cage." It's a trade, and trust me, you don't lose money on this trade. ”

"If you hadn't asked the monkey to take it right under my nose......"

"If it wasn't for the monkey who took him, you wouldn't have come to me!" Captain Hierro, who was in the cage, interrupted him with a sudden roar, "But that's none of my business, you have to figure out the situation, boy, now it's up to me to decide if you can get your hands on the bones that are important to that child." Instead of you and that monkey, you have lost the game between you and that monkey! ”

A flash of light flashed in the hand of the atmospheric Vere, and a spear appeared in his hand, pointing horizontally, and resting it on his hand. "Do you believe that I wiped out all these monkeys?!"

Hierro smiled slightly, "I believe it, of course I believe it...... But you have to trust me. Hierro's eyes became sharp and gloomy, "Trust me, just as you believe that you can destroy these monkeys yourself, believe in me, if you don't trade with me, you will never get it." ”

“…… Good. Ver put down the spear, lifted it, and slammed it on the iron cage, only to hear a sound, and the spear smashed on the iron cage, making a vibrating sound, but the iron cage did not change in the slightest.

"If I can solve this cage's troubles with violence, I'll make a deal with you?" Hierro took a slight wrong step back. "Opening this cage is actually very simple, as long as you find a key. How about it, what you're looking for, in exchange for what I'm looking for, you don't suffer. ”

Weir sneered, "Who knows where this key of yours will be?" If it's in the sky, I'm going to fly up and pick it up for you? ”

"No, no, no, it's all said, you won't suffer...... Ah, you're familiar with the location of that key, and at the very least, that's where you got it from. Captain Hierro was back to his grinning face. It's because these stupid monkeys don't know how to row at all, and they don't know where to go to find where I'm talking about, that I'm stuck here all the time! ”

"You mean, the key to this cage is on Pigman Island?"

"Alas~ That's right!" Captain Hierro clapped his hands, "There it is." The captain calmly flicked the hat on the warhead, "Look at my hat, huh?" yes, I'm a pirate, and those bastards grabbed me and put me in a cage and put the key where they lived. ”

"But there are no more Star Spirits on Pigman Island!" Will looked at Hierro's appearance and frowned slightly, maybe he had been locked up here for a long time.

"That's okay, I know I've been locked up for a bit long, but I'm lucky." Captain Hierro stomped the plank under his feet, "Look at this plank, it's connected to the cage. I'm locked up beneath Pigman Island, near the demon's seal. When there was an earthquake a few years ago, I was shaken out of the cage and floated on the sea, and finally came to Monkey Island, but fortunately I still had a rune stone for psychic communication, so I found this monkey and asked it to drag me here. You see, it's what it looks like now. I can't go there, I can only stay in this cage, and although I can still have these monkeys serve me, the monkeys that can only communicate with me are also old, so I have to get out of this damn cage quickly. ”

"But I still don't know where the key to your cage is......" Wille listened quietly to Hierro's story.

"Boy, don't underestimate a pirate captain's sense of secret...... That key, it's on Pigman Island, and it can't be anywhere else. ”

"Where is that?" "Next to the altar where the demon is sealed, there should be a small box, and inside it is the key to all the prison cages on Pigman Island!"

"You mean to say?"

"Yes, you take this monkey with me, and I will tell it to show you the way, and then how you came to come and how you can go back, and bring that key, and I will give you that pig's trotter. What do you think? It's easy, right? Just running errands. There won't be any trouble. This deal is a good deal. ”

"Okay, I can get it for you, but you have to tell me first, the murderer is not these monkeys, what could it be?"

"Pay a deposit upfront? Good idea! Captain Hierro clapped his hands, and the old monkey said something, and Hierro looked suddenly enlightened, "Oh, so you just came back from that place full of stones?" No wonder...... But why should I tell you? ”

"Your key, guarded by a swarm of killer bees......" Will said coldly.

"Hmm~" Hierro rolled his eyes, "What you said is true...... Well, it looks like I've added ...... to the difficulty of your task."

"Then I'll use this news as a bargaining chip with you to get rid of the killer bees...... Listen up. ”

"The murderer who killed the pigman is ......"
