Chapter 032: Eyeing Iron Ore
Fan Siran felt that the man named Jock was eyeing Cormorant's steel axe, to be exact, the raw materials for making the steel axe!
Jock's conversation with the people around him also revealed this idea, "This island is only afraid of a lot of good iron ore!" Since you're here, why don't you go and take a look? Maybe you can bring back a boatload of high-quality iron ore. When the time comes, you can create a batch of hard and sharp weapons, and you can conquer the surrounding countries! Our great Babylian Empire will surely rule the continent and usher in the greatest glory in history! ”
They chattered a lot, all of them were under the guise of the idea of iron ore from Floating Dream Island, and said that they couldn't take a boat with them, and they would bring more boats to mine in the future.
Fan Siran: "......"
She could understand what they were saying.
Xiaokong said: "This island does have a lot of iron ore, and it is all high-quality iron ore, if they are allowed to mine, I am afraid that the entire island will be hollowed out by them." ”
"Xiaokong, in the system, what kind of information about the Babylian Empire is there?" She didn't learn history well, and she didn't remember if there was such a country in history.
Xiaokong checked, and then said, "In your previous world, there has never been such a country in history. ”
Fan Siran groaned, frowned, and said, "I've traveled to another world?" ”
I thought I was traveling back in time to the past, back to a certain dynasty, but it seems that this is not the case!
Xiaokong said: "There is such a possibility. ”
Looking at those "gringos", Fan Siran had mixed feelings, and he really didn't know what kind of world he had come in. However, no matter what world you go to, what kind of people you are, it seems to be the same as the original world.
She glanced at the giant ship again, it was obviously not a modern ship, which also meant that the current technology of this world was far behind the original world.
The gringos were still negotiating with Cormorant and the others, and they also brought a lot of food and goods down from the ship as gifts and gave them as a sign of goodwill.
Fan Siran understood that these people didn't really want to give gifts at all, but wanted to come to the island, in addition to getting fresh water, they also had the idea of iron ore.
Sure enough, the people on the island were still too honest and were fooled by their gifts, and even though they couldn't understand each other's language, they reluctantly let these people land.
Seeing that Cormorant and the others led those gringos in the direction of the village, Fan Siran couldn't help but shake her head, she didn't know what to do.
There were more than 100 people on this ship, although the number was not as good as that of the people on the island, but since it came from the civilized world, its brains were not comparable to those of the people on the island.
What they want to do badly, the islanders probably won't be able to cope with it.
Therefore, the advantage of numbers is not decisive.
"Let these people go to the island, I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles!" Fan Siran is still worried.
No matter how she said that Floating Dream Island was her hard work, she didn't want these gringos to spoil it.
She was going to warn the cormorants and let them be wary of these outsiders, so she changed her clothes, looked for the cormorants, and said: "These people who just came, they covet the resources of the island, and it is not as simple as taking fresh water, you have to find a way to restrict their movements, let them go when they take fresh water, and must not let them go into the mountains, otherwise, the mountain god will be angry!" ”
She didn't talk to Cormorant about iron ore, and he didn't understand it, so she only mentioned resources.
As soon as he heard that the mountain god would be angry, Cormorant became nervous and said, "I'll let them go later, and don't let them wander around our island casually!" ”
Fan Siran nodded and let him go down.
However, it is easier to please the gods than to send the gods, and these gringos do not plan to leave easily when they enter the village, and they also want to find out all kinds of information on the island.
However, due to the barrier of communication, their inquiries can only be observed through their eyes.
"This island is developing quite well!" The appearance of the village is very different from what he imagined, and after seeing it, Jock was quite surprised.
McCann, who was following him, said: "I didn't expect that such an isolated island could have such development, it's really surprising." ”
Jock said, "Indeed. It seems that these natives are still a bit level. ”
McCann said: "By the way, that guy, don't let us wander around, you say, what should we do?" ”
Jock smiled and said, "It's just a group of barbarians, what do we want, can we still stop us?" We'll get back to the ship later, and then we'll make another plan, there's always a way. ”
McCann nodded, and then reminded in a low voice: "However, there are many of them, and if we really want to act, we still have to be cautious." ”
"For now, we just need to find out if there is any iron ore we want on this island, and we don't need to alarm them. It's just that, it seems, they don't welcome us. So, this time, even if there is a lot of iron ore on the island, it will be difficult for us to take it with us. Unless, destroy all these barbarians! ”
When he said this, his fist was subconsciously clenched.
The whole person reveals an arrogant atmosphere.
After a pause, he said, "Actually, it doesn't matter, we can leave first, and then bring more ships to see what they can do with us?" We can even make them our slaves and mine iron ore for us! In this way, we can save a lot of effort. ”
As he spoke, he smiled slyly.
In the eyes, it's all a conspiracy!
McCann gave a thumbs up and said, "That's a good idea!" ”
When they were saying this, Fan Siran was hiding and staring at them secretly, naturally heard what they said, bit his lower lip, a little angry, and secretly scolded: "What sinister people!" ”
It seems that Ah Hai's previous guess is still reliable!
These people are really not a good thing!
Despite being dissuaded, the gringos circled the village to find out what was going on in the village, citing that they could not understand the words, and then took the container to the place where the villagers had guided them to fetch water.
The whole process of drawing water took a long time.
On the one hand, deliberately; On the other hand, it is also because they need a lot of water, and it is not enough to hit once, but to go back and forth several times.
However, there are villagers watching the whole time, so that these people don't run around and go where they shouldn't go.
Seeing that the villagers were keeping an eye on them, they did not dare to act rashly.
After beating the water and returning to the boat, he did not rush to drive the boat away, but continued to stop there, waiting for the opportunity.
"Hey! Why don't you leave? ”
"Let's go!"
Seeing that they stopped the boat and did not move, Cormorant came with a bunch of villagers to drive them away.
Jock sent someone down and explained to them that the ship was out of order and needed to be repaired.
The cormorant didn't understand, so he pushed the man, waved the steel axe in his hand, and threatened with a tiger face: "If you are told to go, what is the mother-in-law and mother-in-law?" ”
A bunch of people raised the javelins in their hands, making a posture of stabbing people at any time!
The scene is quite scary!
When the man saw this, he frowned and muttered, "A barbarian is a barbarian!" ”
Turning around, he went back to the boat and reported to Jock.
Jock touched his chin, thought for a moment, took a glass of wine, and said, "Okay, let's drive the boat farther and see what they can do?" ”
