Chapter 080: Loggers and Rangers
In addition to the Titan Steel Tree, Chu Yun's target also included many rare tree species and various ordinary plants on the island, and his ambition was not small.
However, for Chu Yun, those cherished tree species only need to be used to analyze the soul of nature, so there is no need to take away the whole thing, just get some leaves and branches or something.
The tavern owner was very efficient, and before the two of them had finished eating, the guide was taken to the box.
"Hello two distinguished guests, my name is ElBaradei, I have lived on this island since I was a child, and I know this place very well." The person who came was a middle-aged man with a lot of scars on his face, and he looked like a seasoned person.
"The two of us want to take a look around this island, especially those places where there are precious trees, basically half of the island has to be visited." Chu Yun was the first to speak.
Baladei was a little surprised when he saw Chu Yun's appearance, but he didn't show it, but said respectfully: "If the two of you just want to visit the island, three thousand Baileys a day, and you can only visit half of the island." ”
"Half an island?"
"I don't know what to call your guests?"
"The guests are outsiders, so it's a little unclear about the situation on this island, but there are actually two forces and three types of people on this island...... "ElBaradei recounted the situation on the island.
Because of the huge interest in this logging island, most of the island's inhabitants are in favor of selling the island's trees, and these people form the loggers.
Others believe that the trees on the islands are a treasure given to them by nature and should not be cut down at will, and this kind of people live in the jungle and specialize in hunting loggers and outsiders. These men call themselves forest rangers and occupy half of the jungle far from the harbor.
The island's plants grow very fast, but they have begun to slow down as loggers cut them down with impunity. The rangers saw it as a warning from nature that if it continued, sooner or later the land would be left without grass.
It's a pity that those loggers have long been blinded by money, where do they care so much, many people have earned enough money to go to other islands under the protection of the navy to live a rich life, who cares what will become of this island.
The two camps have been fighting for many years, and the number of loggers should have been able to win quickly, but the rangers are small but united. The Lumberjack camp is outnumbered, but civil wars often break out over the distribution of growth points for cherished trees. Coupled with the fact that there is a powerful leader on the Ranger side, the balance between the two sides has not been broken.
Recently, however, this balance has been upset by the addition of third parties, and war is on the verge of breaking out.
This third party is none other than the World Government, which has slowed down in recent years, especially those rare species of trees that are basically mostly procured by the World Government every year. Now that the number has decreased, the Draconians are very dissatisfied, and eventually the World Government has sent personnel to the island to help clear out the forest rangers.
"World government...... Although the island is large, it has not yet formed a kingdom, let alone a member country. Chu Yun interjected.
"Yes, our island was actually going to establish a kingdom, but it was because of these things that the founding of the kingdom failed. Hey, it's disgusting that those guys are going to meddle in our affairs again! "Although ElBaradei also belongs to the camp of the loggers, the rangers are also their own compatriots, and no matter how the civil war is fought, it is their own business, and the nature of this outsider's intervention has changed.
"Are those navies on the street sent by the World Government?" Rhoda remembered the people he had seen on the street before, and couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, those navies are here to assist the World Government, but it is said that the World Government has sent someone else to kill the leader of the rangers."
Baradei's words reminded Chu Yun of CP9, but they were still on the side of the Water Capital at this time, so they should not be able to come here suddenly. After all, this island does not appear in the plot, and it is unlikely to affect them.
If it weren't for CP9, it would have been CP1-8, and CP0, as the most powerful organization, should have gone to deal with the Revolutionary Army in the New World.
"Actually, we came here this time for another purpose, that is, to find the legendary Titan Steel Wood, I wonder if you have any news?" Chu Yun learned from the picture from Fenrir that there were really a lot of stone mountains on this island.
Although this stone mountain is a stone mountain, in fact, there are some special vegetation that can absorb the nutrients in the stone, but these vegetation are of little value and are usually not cared for.
Baladei was a little unimpressed when he heard Chu Yun's words, and then said: "The mining cost of the Titan Steel Tree is too high, and it is not easy to find, I advise you to give up." ”
"Hard to find? In other words, there is still a way to find it, right? Chu Yun made a color at Luo Da, and Luo Da knowingly threw a stack of Bailey from his bag.
Baladei saw that the denomination on it was actually 10,000, which added up to 1 million Baileys.
Baladei hurriedly took the money, and the expression on his face became more respectful.
"To tell you the truth, I know an old man, who was a botanist who used to help people find the Titan Steel Tree when he was young." "It's a pity that the old man had his legs cut off by the man who asked him for help, and he was no longer willing to help anyone find a tree. ”
"So he's helping someone find the wrong place?" It's not surprising that Chu Yun thinks so, if he really finds the right one, why do he still cut people.
"No, it's in the right place, but the tree is below the mountain. When the miner spent a lot of money to level the entire hill without finding anything, he angrily took the money back and cut off both of his legs. ElBaradei said with some indignation.
No one can guarantee that this kind of thing is 100% right, and even if you don't find it, you can get the money back, which is unfortunate for the botanist.
Later, the botanist didn't believe that he could make a mistake in his judgment, and when he recovered from his injuries, he returned to the mining site, only to discover that the Titan Steel Tree might be underground. It's a pity that after that incident, he will no longer be detected, if he is forced to do so, he will point to a place and make people work in vain. ”
"It's not easy for him to survive until now. Didn't anyone kill him in anger? ”
"Actually, not many people know about this, and I don't think the two of them are bad people, so I told them. If you're interested, I can take you to him. "Where does Baladei see that the two are not bad people, it is obvious that the two of them are rich before saying this.
But that happened decades ago, not many people know about it, and even fewer have it been so long.
