CH.198 Tobacco
The natives do have to carry out worship activities, but not to sacrifice to the sky with a tink, but to worship the tunk in turn! It turned out that in the eyes of the natives, Donk's ability to summon trolls was a miracle. Coupled with Donk's distinctive appearance and dragon-like skills, these made the natives mistakenly believe that Tangk was a god in the sky. The natives looked at Donk with reverence on their solemn expressions, and there was no more devout believer in the world than them. The huge grounds were packed to the brim, with more than 3,000 natives, each representing a family.
Tang Ke was bold and walked up the stairs to the high platform, the ground getting farther and farther away, and the natives below became smaller, looking like a large pile of black terracotta figurines. He reached the top and stood face to face with the chiefess, with the scorching wind in his ears, a canopy of houses and trees under his eyes, and the crackling of torches.
The sheikh, too, looked at Donk with adoring eyes, and she spoke respectfully, then took the tiara on the table behind her, which was woven of grass and had long, ornate feathers. She bent down slightly and placed the crown on Donk's head.
Donk looked up at the indigenous tiara, and felt that he should say something, although he knew that he knew the language barrier, he still said perfunctorily: "The handiwork is good." ”
The natives took this as a revelation from the gods, and in response to the great gods, they imitated and shouted, "What a good workmanship!" ”
The chiefess moved again, and picked up a brown mantle from the table, furry on the outward side, with two sun-dried paws on both shoulders as decoration, and she put the cloak for the donk, which in the eyes of the natives was a gift to the gods.
Seeing that the natives would imitate his words, Donk smiled, and with a playful mind, he opened his arms and shouted, "Long live the dragon pirates!" ”
The native repeats the phrase in a serious manner, but the accent is clearly turning around and becoming weird.
The sheikh picked up the animal brush on the table, dipped it in the natural dye in the pottery plate, and smeared it on Donk's face, her movements carefully and carefully, drawing Tangk's face like a big cat. After completing the final process, the female chief bowed down and stepped down from the stage, leaving Tang Ke alone to enjoy the worship of the crowd on the high platform. The sheikh came to the people, took the lead and fell to her knees, chanting "Sainhaha", and fell to the ground with her head in a very reverent appearance. The natives behind her also fell to the ground and bowed, and the scene was spectacular.
Tang Ke watched thousands of people prostrate and bow at his feet, first stunned, and then the corners of his mouth grinned. He knew that the natives must have made a mistake, and might have taken him for a chief or even a god!
What a beautiful misunderstanding!
He was overjoyed, if the natives regarded him as a god, they would not only treat him well, but also obey his orders, so that he would have a group of free laborers on Dragon's Nest Island, and with this gang of guides, it would also be of great help to him in exploring Dragon's Nest Island, in short, there were many benefits.
He decided to take advantage of this misunderstanding and continue to hold up the shelf of the world's masters. He cleared his throat and uttered a series of nonsense with a serious expression, because he couldn't remember what to say for a while, so he simply memorized the rules and regulations of the Pirate Code.
The natives took this as a divine instruction and recited it along.
Tang Ke also felt that he had not done it well enough, and he recalled the scene of dancing the great god, copied that set of movements, and danced on the high platform, these movements were somewhat similar to the dance of the natives, and the natives also danced. He was dancing happily when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a team approaching in the distance, and although it was still far away, he could still tell that the person was from the Dragon Pirate Regiment. When he saw his subordinates, he was first overjoyed, but then shouted that it was not good. He remembered his previous promise that if he didn't return to the camp for a long time, his men would come to the rescue. If the Dragons Pirates now have a dispute with the natives, the opportunity they seized will be in vain. There are too many natives to go to war with them, and now is a good opportunity to fool them.
In order to stop the imminent conflict, Tang Ke shouted and stumbled down from the high platform, his every move attracted the attention of the natives, and he went straight to the gate of the village. The natives followed blankly, thinking it was some ritual of the gods.
Tang Ke rushed to the gate of the village in a rage, and shouted eagerly: "Brothers of the Evil Dragon Pirate Regiment, don't do it, I have become friends with the natives!" ”
"Brother of the Dragon Pirates, ...... by all means," the natives behind shouted as well, but few could repeat the full sentence.
"Donk, are you in there? Was it caught by the natives? In the distance, the pirates responded, and the one-eyed one was the loudest, drifting into the cottage.
Tang Ke was blocked by the closed gate, and as soon as he turned around, he made a gesture to open the gate to the natives, and when the clever natives saw it, they immediately did so.
With the efforts of several natives, the heavy gate was pulled open with a "squeak" sound.
"Listen, don't move, stand here obediently." Donk turned around and ordered, in exchange for the expression of blind worship from the natives, who obviously did not understand the meaning of this order, "I now know the importance of learning a foreign language. He slapped his head in anguish, turned to gesturing his thoughts, and drew a line on the ground, and whenever an indigenous person tried to cross the line, he would rebuke that person and make the indigenous understand that it was wrong to cross the line.
The natives finally understood what the tangle meant, and they honestly stood behind the dotted line, as if they would be eaten by the youkai if they crossed over.
"That's good." Donk smiled, and dodged and climbed a large tree, his figure showing several times between the branches, and when he reappeared, he had already reached the canopy.
One-Eye had already led the pirates to the nearest place at this time, and there were more than a thousand of them, almost all of the pirate group came, and the number of people who remained on the shore to guard was only a hundred at most! Behind the one-eyed were Red Locke, Owen, Sebastian, Luban, and others, as well as five gibbons, and even a delicate woman like Iona ventured to follow.
Tang Ke was greatly moved to be cared for by so many people, he felt that this group of people was like a family, and each other's hearts had been tightly linked with red-hot iron cables, and their blood was like fire. Donk wants to say to everyone that I love you to death, but saying that kind of thing now gives you goosebumps, right?
"Little ones, calm down, not only am I fine, but I have become the gods of these indigenous people, they will listen to me, and you can use this cottage as your own backyard in the future. So, all the dangers are gone. Donk shouted as he stood in the canopy.
The pirates turned their worries into peace, and many heartless people even slapped Donk's ass and praised him for his handsome new hat.
"Captain, how did you become an indigenous god?" Iona asked, surprised, her voice mingling with the men's voices.
"Anyway, if you're not careful, you'll become a god," Donk waved his hand, "and we can talk about the details later, and now I'll take you to the cottage, and we have to negotiate with the natives to make peace in the future." ”
Donk jumped a step above the trunk of the tree and came to his men, bringing them to the cottage with a swagger. The pirates looked around curiously, and commented on the upper body of the indigenous woman's naked*striped, and the unanimous opinion was that the size was acceptable, but unfortunately it was too saggy. Iona frowned and whispered a few words.
The natives regarded the pirates as messengers of the gods, and they all respected them and did not take any unruly actions.
Tonk can now only fight snakes and sticks, and continue to play his god, dancing and walking forward, and the natives follow suit. Afraid that the matter would leak out, Donk told the pirates to follow suit, and the pirates could not disobey and could only do so. Everyone originally planned to save the head of the regiment, but after arriving here, the battle failed to start, but they became dance partners. In order to strengthen his divine power, Donk made the pirates shoot into the sky every time he jumped, and the loud sound and fire caused a shock to the natives, making the natives even more convinced that Donk was a god. More and more natives join the dancing queue, led by Donk, and make their way around the roads that lead in all directions of the cottages.
"Haha, when the indigenous woman dances, the ** shakes so much!" The big man Cliff chuckled rudely.
"Donk, I really want to shoot you, your choreography is too stupid, right?" One-Eyed lamented that he was being pushed forward by the people behind him, and that it would be more silly to walk forward dryly, and that it would be better to follow Donk and fool around.
"I don't jump! I'm determined not to jump! The usual stereotypical Ruban yelled at the top of his lungs, causing the pirates to burst into laughter.
In this way, the pirates mingled with the natives until they could no longer jump, gesturing at his shriveled stomach and pointing to his mouth to make the natives understand that the gods had asked for an offering. The dancing procession was over, and the natives began to gather food according to Donk's instructions, and the pirates took advantage of the captain's light to eat and drink in the cottage, and finally ate up the meat of the natives for a week. Tang Ke didn't patronize the food, so he called the female chief to his side during the banquet, carved a map of Dragon's Nest Island on the table with a short sword, circled the location of this cottage, and motioned for the female chief to point out the location of other cottages.
When the chiefess understood, she ordered the other two places.
Donk drew a circle there, then drew a larger circle at the location of the Dragon Pirate Colony's camp to indicate that it would be the Pirate Band's territory, and then plunged his dagger into that position, swearing his ambition to monopolize the area.
"Sainhaha......" replied the sheikh, referring to the word again.
Donk still doesn't know why, but after learning the meaning of "Sainhaha", it turns out that this word is similar to the meaning of the Heavenly Soldier Heavenly General, when he first fought with the native, the native was shocked by his strength and mistakenly thought that he was a heavenly soldier, and then this misunderstanding continued to amplify.
At the end of the feast, an indigenous attendant respectfully presents a plate with two long earthenware pipes on top of it, and a waiter holding a torch beside him.
Puzzled, Donk took the pipe, at first thinking it was a musical instrument, but when he looked into it, his eyes lit up, and the pipe was stuffed with dry yellow blades of grass, and it was not so simple as a musical instrument. Seeing the familiar yellow blades of grass, his heart pounded with excitement and he stood up excitedly.
"There's tobacco here!?"
How could Donk not be surprised, how could he not be surprised? He has been in this world for so long, and he has never seen the shadow of tobacco, nor has he heard rumors about tobacco, as if there is no such plant as tobacco in this world. But now that he has discovered tobacco, he may well be the first person in the world to discover it! If it all came true, he would be the first to grow and promote tobacco, and even monopolize the trade and make a lot of money from it!
The charm of tobacco is endless, as long as it can be popular among the aristocracy, and then control the sales of tobacco, you can make tobacco, an ordinary plant, a luxury, and then sell at a sky-high price!
Donk even imagined himself holding a cigarette in his mouth and leading his men to jump onto the enemy ship to plunder, and he was inexplicably excited. He eagerly grabbed the torch, lit one end of the long tube, and took a mouth-to-mouth puff from the other.
The sheikh looked at Donk in surprise, probably not expecting Lord Sainhaha to know how to smoke.
Donk took the cigarette in his mouth, let it run down his throat and into his lungs, and rolled inside. He coughed a few times, puffed out the smoke, and shook his head. The sheikh, thinking that Donk was dissatisfied, showed a look of sincere fear.
"It's indeed cigarettes, but it's too 'hard', those pampered aristocrats will definitely not like it, and if you want to promote it vigorously, you must research soft tobacco." Donk muttered to himself, played with a few more puffs of cigarettes, and showed off a few cigarette rings.
The pirates present could not help but be curious when they saw the captain's expression of enjoyment, in other words, they were curious about all things that were enjoyable.
"Commander, what is this? Can you bring me two bites? Cliff glared at the bull's eye and was the first to ask.
Donk enjoyed the long-lost cigarette and refused to let go easily, and threw the pipe that had been left for the female chief to Cliff. The sheikh, in order to curry favor with Donk, immediately ordered more pipes to be fetched, and the waiter trotted out of the house.
Cliff excitedly lit the pipe, took a puff of inconvenience, and the next moment choked, and the stars flew wildly, and tears came out, and he complained, "What a! So choking! ”
"Fool, you think this is drinking water? Suck so hard! Tang Ke scolded with a smile, playing with the pipe in his hand, this is the way he said to make money in the future, and Longchao Island is likely to become the world's largest tobacco plantation in the future!
