Chapter 820 The "Villain" Who Robbed and Set Fire
"I am not in the mood to argue with you about the current situation, nor do I have much time to explain to you so that each of you can recognize your own form. In fact, you should have understood a long time ago that there are still many people in Hanhai City who are crowded in narrow passages, experiencing soaring prices and living in embarrassment, why can you live and breathe freely in such a beautiful environment? The life you used to steal was originally stolen by you, and the next life in the city is what you should have to bear. Okay, hurry up and clean up, and we'll set fire to it in the afternoon. ”
The old man looked even more excited, he violently broke free from the hands of the villagers next to him, rushed to the small boat in the harbor, picked up a handful of wood pulp, and was about to throw it at Arrow.
Of course, the members of the Merfolk Song would never allow him to do this, and after easily subduing him, Airo turned his head to look at the villagers with horror written all over their faces.
"We ...... Are we really leaving? ”
At this moment, Fan Yi's face also began to be full of fear.
After all, after yesterday's scene, this young man also seemed to understand the gap between ordinary people and guilds.
After seeing Arrow nod silently, Fan Yi exhaled and said to the villagers beside him, "We...... Let's just do what President Arrow said...... Anyway, we've been ruined here, and it's useless to stay any longer......"
"Fanyi! What are you talking about! Our ancestors have lived on this archipelago for generations! Why did you let us go, you alien brat! ”
When Old Man Hai heard that Fan Yi wanted to retreat, he immediately began to shout loudly.
Fan Yi frowned, and shouted at the old man who was tied up over there: "Old man Hai! People can't always be so stubborn! It is true that our previous life was easy. But now...... Now the situation is different! Everyone, everyone has seen the power of these adventurers, right? They will have strange magic, they can jump so high, they can run so fast! If...... If a group of adventurers really come and kill us, think about it! Will we be able to escape? ”
Under Fan Yi's sensational rhetoric, these villagers began to look at me, I look at you, and seemed hesitant.
It's just that the old man over there is still shouting, and he can't listen to what others say at all. Seeing this, Fan Yi simply walked over, pulled up the old man who had been tied up with five flowers, and dragged him to a wooden house on the side.
Old Man Hai was still shouting loudly at first, but after a few moments, his shouting finally stopped.
Not long after, Fan Yi came out of the cabin and shouted inside: "You should calm down inside first!" I'm sure you'll figure it out! ”
With that, Fan Yi walked over again and said to Arrow, "That, President Arrow." I know you're doing it for our good now, and I think it's time for our village to leave. How about giving us a moment and let's clean up? ”
Without the voices of opponents, the villagers looked at Fan Yi, who was now undoubtedly the leader of the team, and they didn't know how to resist for a while, let alone what to say or do. Soon, along with their leader, they began to pack up their belongings, and with a weeping and weeping departure from home, they embarked on a path they probably had never imagined two days ago.
In the afternoon, the villagers dragged their families, one by one, in tears, and took their luggage onto the Queen Sirens and entered the cabin.
Arrow nodded, and the people of Merfolk Song began to set fire to the houses.
Looking at the flames blazing in the beautiful island, Arrow felt like his face was about to be roasted.
"Old Man Hai's business, let me come."
Fan took a torch from Cream's hand, smiled, and said—
The house he was staying in was far away from the other houses, and the trees around it were so clean that the flames would not come. I think it's better to let him stay here for the night first, and we'll pick him up tomorrow than to let him get on the ship with us on the ship and make him shout and make a lot of noise in the cabin. ”
Cream was slightly stunned and said, "Is this okay?" You tied people to a sturdy knot, what if the old man starved to death? ”
Fan Yi smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed to the door and said, "I didn't tie him up, I just let him fall asleep." If you don't believe me, go in and see for yourself? I guess it won't be long before he wakes up. Don't worry about food, there are still some sun-dried thick meat starfish in the room, and it doesn't matter if it lasts for ten days and half a month. ”
Cream walked into the room and couldn't help but nod when she saw the old man lying on the bed.
And just like that, the flames of the archipelago began to rise, turning into a fiery red at noon.
And the Siren Queen also picked up all the villagers except Hai Weiming, and together they walked in the direction of Hanhai City and embarked on the return journey.
————
Perhaps, the sea and the sky had already anticipated something.
Just like when I came, the waves didn't seem so stable. And the bright moon in the sky was also shrouded in clouds early.
Standing on the edge of the boat, you can't see any scenery at all. It seemed that at the end of less than ten meters away from him, the whole world was guarded by a black curtain, giving Arrow the feeling of being in a cicada chrysalis.
The waves are not very stable, but they are not yet to the point where they can be overwhelming.
Arrow gripped the edge of the boat, feeling the constant jolting sensation beneath his feet, and the waves lifted the siren queen up and down. It's as if the whole world has become a rocker at this moment, giving people the feeling of wanting to vomit as if they were floating in the air.
Thing...... Is it over?
Arrow looked at the sea and couldn't help but exhale slightly.
Yes, it's over.
At least, the decision I made had put an end to it.
He let go of the ship's edge and stepped on the bumpy deck to the cabin. After using the hatch to isolate the cold, salty and humid sea breeze outside, he was able to straighten the hat on his head a little and straighten his clothes.
Stepping out of the cabin, the villagers huddled together in the place below where the cargo had been stored. Maybe it's because they've encountered too many shocking events in the past two days, they all look tired, and they've already fallen asleep by now.
Seeing this, Arrow nodded slightly, walked to the other cabin, and cautiously came to the wall of the ship that had been pierced by the whale's spear the day before yesterday.
The sailors have patched up this loophole, and although it looks rough, it shouldn't be a problem to support it and return it to Viscount Ruichi. Alas...... I don't know if the viscount will have to pay the reparations himself.
Arrow smiled bitterly, but then, he could only shake his head slightly.
It's better not to worry about the compensation for now, the most important thing now is to return to Hanhai City safely, and then hand over all the mouthparts of those thick-fleshed starfish to complete the task.
After all......
On his own ship, there is still a big trouble hidden.
That's right, big trouble.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his adjective was not wrong.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will feel that although everything seems to be smooth and logical in the schedule of these two days, there is actually something very strange about it.
This place, the members of their own guild did not pay attention, and the adventurers of other guilds did not bother, and even the villagers themselves may not be aware of it at all.
That's ...... This makes the imperial royal family ...... Or some other nobleman who tried his best to take years without being able to successfully take the Rich Islands, why was it so easy to take them this time?
Why?
The answer, naturally, has already emerged in Arrow's mind.
He nodded slightly, trying to ease his heartbeat. After taking a brisk stride to his captain's room, he began to think in more detail about the question he suspected.
I heard that the license of the archipelago was cancelled two years ago, and since it was cancelled two years ago, it means that someone had already started to fight the idea of this archipelago two years ago, but it has not been able to take it off smoothly.
There is almost no fighting power in this archipelago, and it is just some ordinary villagers. If you really want to talk about combat power, it's those large demonic beasts that don't know what they are.
But the personalities of those large demonic beasts don't seem to be intense, and they are obviously not powerful helpers.
Under these circumstances, the greatest difficulty in getting rid of the archipelago must not be force, but ...... Reputation.
It wasn't clear to Eero about how many interests there were in the archipelago, but since those who wanted the island's bigwigs to finally decide not to force them out by force, but to use other means to strike them out and get them out, they certainly had their own concerns.
Well, in the absence of a way to use force, and coercion and inducement do not seem to be very effective...... The most effective way to do this is to divide the villagers and then melt down the stubborn fortress from within.
Yes, someone ...... They had landed on the archipelago long before the events of the two days, and had mixed in with the villagers.
And isn't there just one person among those villagers, who is called "a new few years old" by the old man Hai?
Oh, yes......
The guy pretended to want to fit in with the island and lived here, and then he continued to accumulate a voice among the villagers, giving himself the appearance of a leader.
