Chapter 3: The Mandate of Heaven
The so-called "garbage mountain" is the narrow strip of land between the South Gate and Kolber Mountain, and is also known as the "terminal station of uncertain objects", as for the latter slightly flavorful name, due to its age, the origin is no longer exquisite.
Because of the piles of garbage collected from all over the country, coupled with the scorching sun, there is a phenomenon of natural burning all day long, and all day long there is a strong smell of smoke, and useless things are gathered here, and the inhabitants are all ruffians who have been driven out of the central streets of the country, and of course there is no place for it, and there are no doctors, and crime and disease are constantly spreading.
If in the eyes of the paranoid aristocracy, the people outside the "high city" are domestic pigs kept in captivity in pigsty, then the people in the "garbage mountain" are pure garbage and useless.
But there is no doubt that it is a good place for the capable to lurk and a cradle for ambition.
Compared with the mature and steady Lasis, the wolf-like Ace took the lead in attacking, the weapon was an iron rod made of water pipes, in order to improve the destructiveness, an additional weight elbow was installed on the top, Lasis had tried to play twice, the feel was not very hard, but it was very tough, very suitable for their age.
Ace danced the iron rod in front of him, the tiger cub stopped beside him, without the slightest intention of interfering, one waste material is waste material, two waste materials are also waste materials, there will never be any passionate chemical reaction, and it is not a pair of dogs and men and women in the case of the opposite sex will undergo qualitative and quantitative changes, if this can't be done, once against Ace is just a tragic victory with two months of bed rest Lasis should not do the first thing to do is not to jump into the battle circle as a helper, It's about checking whether you have the ability to seek a position in this magnificent era.
Lasis is not like Ace and Sabo who have the big dream of becoming a sea thief and become famous, he doesn't have any particularly far-reaching vision for the future, although on the surface it seems to be only 10 years old, in fact, the age of the soul is almost already a mature man of Bensan, long past the age of the future full of dreams and worshipping heroes, passionate and surging and dreaming all day long, the only thing that can be called a dream is also boring and outrageous, there are eats, drinks and beautiful women, and they don't have to be respected by others, But you must not be bullied, of course, you must be able to bully and bully others occasionally, it is very simple and unrealistic, Lasis is as bright as a mirror in his heart, he understands that to live a good life in his mind, he needs two things: the power brought by status and the relative oppressive power brought by power, the navy pays more attention to status and power, and the pirates focus more on pure power.
For the ideal in his heart, Lasis has worked hard day after day year to hone his skills, expand his knowledge, and seize all opportunities as much as possible in the future.
Two adults, even if they are trainee pirates, are at least a genuine pirates, they can be brought into the sea at any time, no matter how defective they are, they can't be so weak, they can only say that the guy they are facing is too strong, at least in their opinion, as long as the imp in front of them is physically sufficient, he already has the strength to fight with the official crew members of the pirate group.
One has fallen to the ground, and the other has taken advantage of the time that his companion has just fought alone to escape with a package containing money, as long as he runs to the warning range of the pirates, he wins, no matter how bad it is, he will run to the populated area, at least it cannot be considered to be a smuggling with money, betraying his companions is the deepest sin on the sea, even after death, the soul will be cursed, and his soul will be imprisoned in the legendary ghost ship "The Flying Dutchman", and will be subjected to heavy hard labor until the sins committed in life are paid, of course, this is just some legends, There are also people who don't believe that the descendants of the dragon pay attention to a moderation, and generally adopt a neutral attitude that cannot be fully believed and cannot be disbelieved in this kind of inexplicable things, which can also be said to be the smoothness of a nation, but Lasis is convinced of this kind of Shinto doctrine of Huang Lao, or his violation of science "soul wearing" will not be able to explain.
Seeing Ace chasing people, Lasis slowly walked to the unlucky guy who was knocked to the ground by a punch first, don't look at Ace's guy is forced to be anxious, no matter who he faces, he dares to participate in the battle like a newborn calf, but in the face of those bloody and dirty things, he is innocent like a young chick who has not budded, Lasis is actually similar, but his age has gone up, and his receptivity and resistance have skyrocketed, and he will also give proper consideration to that kind of thing to cut grass and eradicate roots.
Rubbed it lightly, didn't react, sighed, the ground is really not an ordinary waste, it was actually fucked by a ghost to the point of coma, the sea is very dangerous, it is better to find a place to marry a wife and have children, and live an ordinary life, although it is unremarkable, but I have to say that the good end of the children and grandchildren is also a very luxurious happiness.
Before Ace came back with the package to share the spoils, Lasis finally didn't choose to start, not that he didn't dare, Lasis would think a little deeper and farther in everything, and the little brother himself was just an insignificant little person, and the one who escaped with Ace's heart was at most just some skin injuries, either kill them all, or don't kill them, just treat them as accumulating some yin virtues, and things that harm others and themselves are not interesting and don't make a head, and it is also the bottom line of a black-bellied person.
The spoils of the two men were very harmonious, and there was no sign that there had been fierce friction before, and Lacis felt that he had not contributed at all, although he agreed to the additional clause of "if there is a war with Broujem, he will enter the war as an ally", but who knows if there will be a real fight in the future? To put it bluntly, it is an empty sack carrying rice, there is no way out, Lasis is a little careless, and takes the initiative to drop to forty percent, which makes Ace, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, suddenly a little sincere and frightened, Ace This kind of life in the previous life is called the life of the broken army is not afraid of you coming clearly, just afraid of the yin behind you, the tiger in front of him, as we all know that it is not easy to mess with, Ace doesn't want to be calculated for this money, and he is determined to divide Lasis sixty percent, which makes Lasis a little crying and laughing, and Lasis who took sixty percent thought about it, and said to Ace: "Leave yourself a way out of everything, don't always put yourself in a desperate situation", no matter whether Ace listens to it or not, it is all a piece of advice that comes out of his hand.
Said goodbye to Ace, went to the city to purchase the necessary daily necessities, large bags of things must not be easy for a person to take, so let Soria come to meet, one of the few in this world can be called a friend by Lacis, among them is the stout man in front of him, like Lacis, basically stay in the mountains, except for every big purchase is when there are big fish passing by and need more combat power, he will go down the mountain, about 2 years older than Lacis, but his physique is much stronger than Lacis, Lasis has a similar height as Ace, But it only reaches Soria's waist, which shows its horror, and its unreasonable large physique can also pretend to be the guardian of Lasis, and there is a lot less unnecessary trouble when moving around the city.
Soria's full name is called Iktea? Ichthyo?sauria, a taciturn fellow, has a huge physique wrapped in wide clothing, and wears a heavy barrel-like helmet on his head, with only a slit in the front for viewing.
Large bags of necessities were stacked haphazardly on wooden rafts, with four wheels underneath to make a simple trailer, with Soria dragging them in front with one hand, while Lasis lay on the raft and enjoyed the monsoon. The kingdom of Gore is roughly in the northern monsoon zone, with similar climate change to the south in the previous life, very comfortable, every afternoon Lasis always has to go to the waterfall in the depths of the Kolber Mountain to take a cool bath, it is funny, the old man has not told Lasis his name, but there must be a name, Lasis feels that the waterfall is quite similar to the legendary five old peaks, so he even called the old man "Mr. Tong Hu", quite suitable for the occasion.
"Hey! Big guy, did you hear anything? "Going up the hill and into the woods, Lasis, who had sharp ears, suddenly sat up and asked forward.
Soria in front of her paused as if listening, then shook her head slightly. With a huge helmet, it is absolutely impossible to see in the eyes of others that there has been such a delicate movement as shaking his head, but Lassis can see it, this may be the tacit understanding that can only be accumulated over time in the legend.
Although the voice is very faint and should be some distance from the current position, Lasis who calmed down and listened this time was sure that he heard correctly.
"Ace, where have you been?"
The voice floated faintly, very immature, it should be similar to himself, but it was definitely not Sabo, Sabo's voice was very familiar to him, Lasis thought about it, he had a vote with Ace on the front foot, and someone followed him on the back foot, so it was reasonable to take a look, and if something happened, he would have a response, so he left Soria and let him go up the mountain alone with the supplies, and he fled in the direction where the voice came.
Crossing may also be a manifestation of destiny, Lasis vaguely feels that he must do something when he comes to this world, many years later, whenever Lasis recalls the past, carefully reviewing the various intersections on the road of life, the first scene is the fire 10 years ago, and the second is today's encounter that looks a little funny.
In the woods on the northern edge of Kolber Mountain, two sea thieves who will dominate the wind and clouds in the future, both born in the East China Sea, "Nine Mile Tiger" and "Straw Hat", met this afternoon.
Whenever he thinks back to the scene, Lassis involuntarily mutters, "This fucking fate." ”
