Volume 2 The Flame of Youth Chapter 30 The Magnetic Drum Codex
Sensing that the next topic could not be seen, they moved the impromptu meeting of the four of them from the living room to the guest room of Lacis, and although the single-celled Bebo followed behind, they had completely reduced it to a decorative statue, which was blatantly ignored, and even Luo, who was a companion, did not think that this simple white bear could make any quite constructive suggestions.
The reason why they chose the room where they are is also a little thoughtful, Lasis and Evita, the black-bellied man and woman have already searched their rooms inside and out to see if there are any phone bugs used for eavesdropping, and the heart of defense is indispensable, door-to-door debt collection is not a welcome profession after all, and it is still a huge sum of up to 400 million Bailey, who knows if it will be calculated by black-hearted businessmen behind their backs.
Ace's attainments in trickery are a 3-year-old child at all, Luo should not be bad, and the pair of dead fish eyes with some inverted triangles outlines his restrained gloom just right, but for Lasis and them, he is still a complete outsider who has not experienced the "Four Iron Irons in the World" together, and he is the kind that needs to be kept an eye on, and the rest is only his own territory is the safest.
The so-called "four irons in the world" means that they have passed through the window together, carried guns together, prostituted together, and shared the stolen goods together.
In addition to not having prostituted together, Lasis and Ace, who have lived together for more than ten years, account for three of them, and the restless Lasis has been thinking about when the last item will be made up.
Glancing down twice, she didn't notice anyone, Evita closed the window, pulled up the curtains again, and let Lacis, who had the strongest five senses, sit on the windowsill and let him stare at the security guards who passed by below, while Ace was watching by the door, and then signaled that Luo could start.
"Did you read the newspaper? Do you know what's going on in the East China Sea lately? Sitting on the couch, Luo Qian leaned over and crossed his hands, just like Lassis likes to squint, which were subconsciously habitual movements.
Sitting on the windowsill, Lasis smoking a cigarette and Ace leaning against the door, turned his head to look at Evita on the edge of the bed, although she is usually not very conspicuous, but Evita is really in the position of their "housekeeper", and all the miscellaneous trivial things such as food, clothing, housing and transportation have taken her a basket, and reading the newspaper is also one of the homework that must be done every day.
"It's about the traveling fleet of the Fire Nation, right? Legend has it that there are a lot of rare things on board that are purchased from all over the world! You said you must go to the Sea Restaurant for this reason, right? I remember that the fleet was also thinking of going to the restaurant at sea, and asked me to look at today's newspaper to see where their voyage went. ”
As a traveling fleet of a country, it is normal to make a sea restaurant at a famous spot in the East China Sea a stop on its journey.
Evita picked up the two newspapers stacked on the top of the bedside table, which were dedicated to the East China Sea, which was originally known for its peace, and there were very few that could be called big news, and this time it was a large-page report for several days, and it was difficult to know about it.
In addition, the only thing that can make the boring Tokai section a little chewy is about a group of powerful "bounty hunter trio" who have not been around for a long time, and the editors in charge of the Tokai page must love them to death, right? 5 million! 8 million! Ho, 9.8 million!! When will it be more than 10 million? Waiting for them to be seen, even Villa, which is known for its gambling industry, has already opened a corresponding handicap.
The only thing left is the recent arrest of the "black cat" Locke, and the news of the arrest of Locke's new soldier "Axeman" Monka, who has seen the deity, but they clearly know that the slightly rich one in the photo is an impostor, and the real thing is just playing a relatively large golden cicada shell, if it were not for the rapid reinforcement of the navy, Lasis would definitely squeeze out the special footwork, the core technology point of the "spoon", and knock on a considerable amount of hush money by the way.
Evita lowered her head and thought for a moment, raised her head and affirmed: "There is nothing strange about the nautical chart of the 'Upside Down Mountain' in the national treasure, for the country, it is simply a matter of sesame mung beans to pay a high price to invite a skilled navigator to come and copy a copy, maybe in their eyes it is not counted in the treasure column at all, as long as it is a navigator who serves in their fleet, there will probably be a copy on hand, touch the bottom and step on a point, work secretly, it is really not good, and it is not easy to refuse to come to the door, The lord of the Fire Country, the wind review seems to be quite good, after all, he was under great pressure to accept the eldest prince who was exiled by the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, and the exiled one was a madman at all! ”
Maybe she thought of something, she didn't point at Sang and scolded Huai, and quietly glanced at Lasis on the windowsill, and then it occurred to her that our family is more than that! What is the one who dares to throw gas bombs at his own people? Isn't it a foreign country in exile in the end? Our family is definitely the kind of black guy who does things that hurt the heavens and reason, and in the end he can find a way to wipe his ass clean and clear up the relationship.
There is a fine line between a genius and a madman.
It is not geniuses or madmen who are terrible, but madmen of geniuses or geniuses of madmen.
Luo, who lowered his head, didn't say anything, the meaning of Evita's words was already very clear, it was impossible for the smart Luo not to understand, what she meant was roughly that they didn't need to blatantly use the way of the pirates, and what he wanted was just very difficult to start, if he didn't go through an encounter, the possibility was basically zero, how to drag the three of them into the water, he was ready to think in the long run.
Raising his head slightly and glancing at Lasis on the windowsill, Luo was very clear that no matter how high-sounding the woman in front of him was, the final decision was that it was the guy with Asperger's syndrome, which was the most important point.
All it took was a chance to talk alone, and he was confident to convince him.
Because under their deep masks, a feverish heart beats.
"And what are you after?" Ace on the side interjected and asked at the right time.
"Magnetic Drum Codex." Luo spat out a term that was unfamiliar to both of them, and sensing the confusion, Luo explained: "It all started 17 years ago, Mshuru, the eldest prince of the Magnetic Drum, the elder brother of the current King Waporu, when he was 13 years old, when the previous king of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom left the country because of his attendance at the World Conference, he used a large-caliber artillery cannon and launched one of his abilities, which led to many sacrifices, yes, he is a capable man, the ability is' 'Breeding of spores', as the common people called mushrooms, is the proliferation of a poisonous substance, and I do not know for what purpose it is necessary to kill their own nationals in batches. ”
According to Law's description, Lasis thought of Pag's ability and said, "If it were some kind of gaseous diffusion, my ability would probably be able to suppress it." ”
Luo nodded and admitted: "Indeed, the wind can perfectly restrain this ability, whether it is a blessing in misfortune, the day of the tragedy was very strong, so that the spores stayed for a shorter time, and finally survived total annihilation, and Mushuru was banished to the land of fire by the previous king as the world knows, and the heat of the flame can also have the effect of restraining that bad ability." ”
Of course, Lassis could taste from Evita's words that she meant that she didn't need to wade into this troubled water, but Lassis didn't rush to refuse, but laughed out loud, pointed at Luo and said, "You are a smart person, at least smarter than our family's Ace, you should be able to hear what this woman means, right?" If you still want to insist that we go to war, you will have to set the price in the form of mercenaries, but you tout my ability like this, showing weakness, this is not the kind of rhetoric that businessmen should have when negotiating. ”
"I'm just wise!" Ace dissatisfied.
Luo spread his hands and smiled: "As you can see, I am just a wandering healer, according to you, I am just an unlicensed 'barefoot doctor' and an 'old military doctor', not some 'businessman'. ”
"Okay, okay, continue with the topic, I'll listen!" Lasis sometimes really can't stand this kind of serious guy.
Clearing his throat, Luo continued: "Since that tragedy, the Magnetic Drum Kingdom has vigorously developed medical treatment in order to save itself, and has gradually become a world-renowned medical power, and the 'Magnetic Drum Codex' is the product of that time, whether it has been concluded or only in a theoretical state, it is a notebook that records all the medical experiments in that country, and that notebook is now in the fleet of the Fire Country, in the hands of Mushuru. ”
"How do you know? Determining whether the target exists or not is an important part of the process. Lasis asked.
"The current king Waporu has a very harsh state policy, placing 20 of the most prominent physicians under his command under house arrest in his castle, expelling the rest from the country, and if the citizens want to be treated, they must show their loyalty to them, so he fears that a copy of the codex will be leaked and threaten his rule secretly, so he turns it over to his exiled brother for safekeeping."
After speaking, Luo leaned heavily on the sofa, spread his hands on both sides, and said everything that should be said, now it depends on the meaning of the three opposite.
"The two brothers are really rare and wonderful!" Evita sighed first.
"I still have a question!" "What is the reward for going to war?" ”
"All I need is the Codex!" Luo was categorical and did not hesitate at all.
Lasis pondered, but did not make any substantive statement.
PS: Fire Country, which appears in someone's lines in the ninth theatrical version.
Mushuru, the character who appeared in the ninth theatrical version, if you objectively evaluate the strength, is probably the same as Luffy at that time, and at least crippled Luffy once, if it weren't for Robin arriving in time to use the antidote, of course, this is also a manifestation of the protagonist's aura.
