Chapter 192: Isn't it okay to push it here?
"The Legend of the Mermaid", this book records in detail the mermaid, which is between man and fish, and is also said to be some of the languages, writings, customs and habits of the ancestors of the indigenous people of the Shangdia Islands.
Author...... According to the "Publication Review", he is a little-known folklorist. The book is "full of whimsical ingenuity and flamboyant prose, and its value as a novel is far greater than that of folklore, and the publisher has misclassified it from the outset." ”
It's one such book.
"The mermaid clan is a mermaid, right?" When I first saw this book, Liu Mengmeng's first reaction was this. Wei Feifei and Chu Tiantian nodded in agreement. They didn't have Liu Mengmeng's high reflex, and their heads nodded a little slower.
"It's not the same. This is the world of One Piece, and the mermaid clan has various mermaids with different body types and different combat effectiveness. The first beauty Princess Shirahoshi is, huge...... The beauty, who wields the legendary ancient weapon Poseidon, is able to summon the sea kings. Lin Qiuran became excited as she spoke, her eyes faintly peachy, "I don't know if there is a White Star Princess in this world." ”
"That...... Can you explain, what is an ancient weapon, what is Poseidon, what is a sea king......" Liu Mengmeng, Wei Feifei, and Chu Tiantian raised their hands together.
So the fat man explained sternly: "How can the first beauty be Princess Shirahoshi?" It must be the empress! ”
"Nani? You have the audacity to say it again! Lin Qiuran slapped the table.
"Empress, Empress, Empress...... I said, how? "Fat guy couplet.
"Ding-ding-clang!" The two of them fought like this.
Later, when Xiao Ling was studying this book, everyone came over occasionally to take a few looks. But when you see the hand-drawn quaint illustrations, there are also those words that are crooked. If you can't turn two pages, you can't read it. Everyone really can't understand that Xiao Ling can learn from such a book. See what.
"Okay, I'll teach you the proper way to open the book." Xiao Ling waved "The Legend of the Mermaid", "At first glance, this book seems to have nothing to do with our mission, but if I say that this book was written by Goro, will you be interested?" ”
"What? The book was written by Grollo? "Sure enough, the interest was there," but ...... How do you know? This author's name and Grolo...... It doesn't matter at all, right? ”
"How can it be okay? Before becoming a pirate, Grollo was an archaeologist and naturalist. He once traveled to the Big 6 and was famous in the Gastan Empire and the nearby Big 6. Although this pseudonym is not recorded in his biography, the style is exactly the same as those pseudonyms. The most important thing is ...... "Xiao Ling casually showed two travelogues signed by Ge Luo," the words and sentences are almost exactly the same. Only the so-called critics of this world will not be able to see it. ”
"Well, this book was written by Grollo. So what? ”
"If it had been written by Andro, as a serious archaeologist, then this book would not have been what was stated in the commentary at the time of publication. It's like a novel, like a folklore book. Rather, it should be his own experience. ”
"Well, so what?" Everyone still doesn't understand.
"Tsk, he's been to the bottom of the merfolk race."
"If you've been there, you've been there, as long as you coat the ......ship," Lin Qiuran shook his head and said.
Xiao Ling also shook his head. This guy's IQ has dropped so much.
The three girls who didn't look at One Piece on the side understood first: "The territory of the mermaid clan seems to be a very mysterious place in this mission......" The girl was careful and paid attention to the content of some books that Xiao Ling was reading.
"That's right." Xiao Ling nodded.
That's the key. in this world. The merfolk are just legends, not like the One Piece world. It's all over the street. Lin Qiuran and the fat man always measured the perspective in the book, and they would naturally make mistakes.
"According to the date. The book was published twenty-eight years ago. It was the middle of Grollo's travels in the Big 6. A few years later, he worked for a time as a court lecturer in the Gastan Empire, and then ...... For some unspeakable reason, he was wanted by the Gastan Empire and became a pirate. ”
"He continued his archaeological journey as a pirate until eighteen years ago, when he led a fleet to rob the fleet of the Gastan Empire, and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since......"
"Some say that he is afraid of being retaliated against by the Imperial Navy and hide, while others say that he has fallen into the hands of the Gastan Empire. It's just that the Gastan Empire didn't want to let others know about the fact that it had obtained a large number of treasures for nothing, so it deliberately hid the truth. ”
"Brother Xiao, you are here to organize the timeline, we know that you must have intentions, but ...... If you have any conclusions, you can just say it. The crowd begged for mercy.
As the captain, Xiao Ling is good at everything, that is, when he announces the answer, he peels off the cocoon, and touches the melon, the more anxious others want to know the answer, the more he drags the number of words, this trick is too anxious.
"Okay." Xiao Ling was helpless, "I actually have only one purpose for checking so much information, which is to investigate the truth about Gorollo's attack on the fleet of the Gastan Empire. ”
"Isn't the truth that he robbed fleets and paid tribute?"
"Before he robbed the fleet, he was already a great pirate in the world, with thousands of men and horses, and several treasures under his command...... Would a person with a net worth of billions still do such a risky thing? Although he was already wanted by the Gastan Empire, it was just that people didn't put all their power on him. ”
"Raiding a fleet, this kind of thing against a country, is obviously neither in his interests nor in line with his style of conduct."
The crowd pondered for a moment, and this was indeed the case. After making more money, normal people will want to wash their hands, and the more cultured people are, the more so: "Then why did he rob the fleet ...... for"
Xiao Ling reached into his arms and took out a book.
Everyone thought it would be a book, but they looked at it - "Geduo's Private Dishes", which is a recipe.
"Well, I'm a little hungry. I'm going to cook? Wei Feifei stood up. Chu Tiantian followed closely.
"Sit down." Xiao Ling was helpless, opened this cookbook, and showed several pages of it to everyone, which were several kinds of dim sum, desserts, and steamed vegetables.
Wei Feifei took a closer look: "What a chic way, cooked with seawater from a hot spring under the sea?" Energized to heat up? Seaweed also needs to be filtered...... It's not going to be ready for a while, or is it ...... Something else. ”
"I'll order you." Xiao Ling slapped her on the face, "These recipes are all recorded in "The Legend of the Mermaid"!" It is a special delicacy that has been passed down from generation to generation in the special environment of the seabed. ”
Well, everyone still doesn't understand......
"This Gedo was originally a celebrity chef in Negara. According to his recipe, eighteen years ago, he was drafted into an ocean-going fleet from Negala to the Gastan Empire because of his expertise in making zuò desserts and dim sum. And these chic dim sum desserts are said to have been concocted by himself on the voyage, you see, here they are written......"
"It may be that he deliberately concealed it and took the credit for researching new dishes on himself; It is also possible that someone is preventing him from telling the truth. But it's no coincidence that a long voyage across the ocean happened to research a few delicacies unique to the mermaid people, right? ”
"The fleet he was following, and there were mermaids on it?" Everyone finally understood, and said in unison, "And it's the fleet of the Gastan Empire!" ”
"You mean, Grollo didn't rob the fleet for any tribute, but to save the merfolk?"
"You finally get it. In fact, Gordo could only be on that fleet. According to hydrometeorological records, the oceanic climate was relatively complicated that year, and there was no seasonal trade wind, and many fleets had to return to the half-section, and only the mechanically powered Imperial fleet of Gastan was able to go against the wind all the way from Negala to Gastan. ”
Twenty-eight years ago, Grollo had spent time in the mysterious land of merfolk;
After that, he continued to travel the world, searching for ruins, writing travelogues, and becoming very famous.
His books under various pseudonyms66 were published by Fu Zi, but there was a travelogue called "The Legend of the Mermaid", which he never admitted to being written by himself.
In fact, according to the records, there are suspicions that he wrote it, but he categorically denied it in his memoirs.
During this period, he was wanted, became a pirate, and became more and more powerful, and finally became the water overlord of the dominant side;
Ten years later, a fleet sailed from Negala to the Gastan Empire, transporting one or several mermaids, juvenile fish;
Then, inexplicably, Grollo led his own fleet to attack the Imperial fleet. The Imperial fleet was robbed, the Gastan Empire was shaken, and he was never seen in public again.
"When he traveled to the mermaid, he formed a deep friendship with the mermaid, so when the merfolk were caught, the merfolk begged him?" Everyone speculated.
"A deep friendship...... Is it worth fighting with your head up? Xiao Ling muttered lightly, and once again pointed to "Geduo's Private Dish", "This dessert, according to the record of "The Legend of the Mermaid", is the favorite food of the children of the mermaid clan. ”
According to the description of "The Legend of the Mermaid", the mermaid clan is basically a matriarchal clan society, and the mermaid queen rules and is in charge of a qiē. When a female mermaid gives birth to a child, she usually raises the child herself......"
"You mean, there were Gorollo's children on the Imperial fleet at that time?" Everyone's eyes widened, Xiao Ling's reasoning was sometimes rigorous, and sometimes it was too ...... It's a fantasy.
"There are usually only two things that can make a man crazy to kill himself, one is a woman and the other is a child." Xiao Ling raised his fingers, "Based on the romances recorded in his biography, I think the latter is far more likely than the former." Of course, the possibility that his woman and children are on board cannot be ruled out......"
After saying that, Xiao Ling sighed in his heart: Tsk, it's all pushed here, and there is no hint of difficulty increase? (To be continued!)
