Chapter 305: Concert
"The affairs of seeing me today must be kept secret for me, and you can't tell anyone." A moment later, such a line of graceful writing appeared on the pages of Zhu Jiusi's ancient book, and the neatness of its handwriting indicated that she had once again stabilized her state of mind, "Otherwise, this slight opportunity may melt away like a piece of snow falling into a carbon furnace, and there will not be even a trace left." ”
Speaking of which, Nobita basically understands.
What newcomers, what to put down hatred, are all excuses used to disguise their identity. Zhu Jiusi is definitely not an ordinary "islander", listen to her, what actions should there be after going out from here. If she is from the island, she will definitely be limited by the rules set by the Emperor of Punishment and will not be able to contact the outside world. Since she said it so clearly...... Nobita boldly speculated that Zhu Jiusi should be a high-powered person on the chaotic side, and this time she came to Linglong Island simply to relax, and her remarks opened up her new ideas and made her see a certain "possibility", so she was in a hurry to run to execute.
It's not good, she is the official under the Emperor of Punishment!
Nobita's goal was achieved, so he naturally nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and signaled with his eyes that he would never reveal half a word.
He is also human, and objectively speaking, he doesn't want to see a scene of rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. Having seen first-hand the daily life on the side of the forces of Chaos, he felt that there should be such an opportunity for the two sides to communicate with each other and take the first step towards peace, no matter how small or inconspicuous.

At dusk that day, when Ista came to the Stone Pillar Forest, he found Nobita sitting on a large rock with a strange smile on his face, facing the sea, with a happy smile on his face. This smile is a little weird...... As the sun sets, the huge disc-like sun hangs in the air, falling towards the boundless sea level, the waves are like gold, and the red glow in the sky seems to melt into the sea at this moment, revealing a strange bright color. At the same time, the western sky had darkened, and the fine stars spread all over the sky, like diamonds that shimmered brightly.
Against this background, Nobita didn't bring anything, and sat there with his long hair scattered, sitting and watching the sun fall, smiling.
Do you understand? This eerie atmosphere seems to be directly used to make horror movies.
But Ista is not afraid of this, what are you kidding, they are blood clans, and they are the kind of blood clans with a very high blood concentration...... It is the ancestor of vampires and one of the sources of Western horror elements. Scaring people can be said to be her housekeeping skill, how can she be weaker than an earthling in this regard?
"Okay, don't pretend, there's no one else nearby, why are you smiling so strangely?" The owner of the Red Ring Island pushed Nobita angrily, almost pushing him off the stone, "It's kind of like that...... How? Really planning to join us? ”
Nobita was in a very good mood at this moment, and he didn't get angry when he was pushed by the girl, he turned his head, and still said with a smile, "If I really join, will it do any good?" ”
"This ...... I don't have the right to promise you anything now, because I'm already on the island, and all the power, money, and power out there has nothing to do with me. Miss Ishtar licked her lips and smirked, "If I have to, I can marry you, if you don't mind my age." ”
This joke was a bit bold, so bold that Nobita was instantly embarrassed and speechless.
The main thing is that he wasn't sure if Ishtar was joking or not...... How can you say that they are all characters of the level of the head of a clan, they look like the country, and they can see themselves after just two days of meeting them, do you think this is writing? Can such a good thing really happen to you?
Fortunately, he didn't really lack the heart and didn't ask such mentally retarded questions as "Your neighbor this year".
In short, with the appearance of Istah, even if the practice of this "silent ritual" was officially over, Nobita began to stand up, moving his numb legs as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had happened just now. Theoretically speaking, from this moment on, Damien Ansesta officially entered the "island nationality" of Linglong Island, and according to the agreement, she will spend her life on the island and never ask about anything that happens in the outside world.
But the two of them know what this fake identity is...... There is no point in finishing.
Esta took great pains to get Nobita's fake identity, and he dragged him to an izakaya to make a newcomer's profile, and he dragged him to the Stone Pillar Forest to experience the silent ceremony, almost making up the so-called newcomer's entry ceremony. She seems to want Nobita to "empathize" in this way, to experience an authentic process of entering the island, so as to identify with the concept of Tiangang Lake.
However...... Experience is an experience after all, and it can't be real, which both of them know.
For Ista to send Nobita back to Yulian is far more useful than holding him here...... And the same is true for Nobita.
"What do you want me to do next?" Needless to say, Nobita consciously jumped off the rock and asked in a 100% sincere tone, "I've been meditating on the stone for most of the day, and I've almost figured it out...... Maybe you think it's more effective to show me directly than to just use words to influence me. If there's anything else you want to show me, you're welcome. ”
Once she understood Ishtar's purpose, Nobita was almost certain that she wouldn't kill him.
Naturally, this was also expected by Istah.
"Oh......? Really? That's right, it's only the second day since I've come here, and although it's not at the level of top-level conspiracy, it's not bad, and it's passed. The owner smiled gently, but the smile soon melted away like the sun sinking into the sea, and was replaced by a solemn look that could not be dissolved.
"But it's a pity...... I'm afraid we don't have much time left. ”
"This immeasurable sea was created by the Emperor of Punishment, it does not belong to any space or plane, and it has unique particularities. The same is true of the fifteen islands under our feet...... In general, Tiangang Lake has always been the 'domain' of Emperor Xing alone. In fact, the moment you landed on the island, the Emperor of Punishment had already felt it, even earlier than I noticed. I will try my best to give you a fake identity to fool the people on the island, and it is impossible to fool the Emperor of Punishment, she will sooner or later find out that you, the invader, will disappear after landing on Linglong Island, like a drop of water returning to the sea. And I, Isha Redring, as the owner of the island, have always detained you here without reporting it. ”
"After all, you only have one, pretend to be Damian Ansesta and Nobita will be gone, and I can't conjure two of you.
As far as I know, the Emperor is a very cold and strict person with the law, and deep down in her heart, she has never trusted us, the island masters, and perhaps never trusted anyone...... She believes only in the rules, jurisprudence, and laws written in cold words, which she uses to restrain others and self-restraint. She thinks that as long as we act according to her laws, then it doesn't matter what we think in our hearts, even if we think about rebellion, as long as we are still bound by her rules on the surface, then everything will go according to plan. ”
"And I, sorry, for your sake, broke the rules she set."
……
Even though Esta was still laughing when he said this, his smile was beautiful, and even a little heartless, Nobita's heart still felt like it had been pinched hard.
He's not stupid. Although he still doesn't know the rules of Tiangang Lake, he ...... Ista was in his position, and instead of seeking political power, he used his privilege to help a hidden enemy. This kind of thing is not a good thing no matter which group it is left in, and no matter how free Tiangang Lake is, it is impossible to take the lead. Think about it, if everyone followed Istah's example, what would there be to fight in this war? The Chaos side instinctively raised the white flag and surrendered.
If you think about it, no good leader will tolerate such a thing.
She must have known, but she did it anyway.
"You ......"
"Okay, don't say anything, there's no need." As if seeing through Nobita's shame, Ishtar waved his hand, and said in such a weak and resolute tone for the first time, "I didn't do this for you, if it wasn't Nobita who came, but someone else, I would not hesitate to arrest you and send you to the Emperor of Punishment." You don't have to thank me for anything...... At the end of the day, I'm just trying to take advantage of you. I long for a real, lasting peace between the two camps of Chaos and Order, and throughout history, you have been the most likely person to do so. ”
To be honest, this is not the first time Nobita has been given a heavy responsibility.
It's this routine every time, and he should almost get used to it...... There would always be a very powerful person who walked up to him slowly and explained to him a long list of things that he didn't want to know at all. Finally, the brother will stand up, pat Nobita on the shoulder, and say something like "This world will be handed over to you". From the main god, to Yin Xi, to Hilda, to Ah Yi, to Lindsay, and even the Emperor of the opposite camp...... They all have high expectations of themselves.
It's funny to say, when he first set foot on this road, Nobita just wanted to see his old friend again, that's all, he didn't expect so many things to come out later.
However, this time, Nobita was the only one who wanted to take the initiative to take responsibility. He decided to act as a bridge between the chaos side and the order side, secretly mediating the war, and leading the two camps to peace step by step. There is a long way to go, and for him now, whether it is Yulian or the Chaos side, they are undoubtedly behemoths, and he does not have the volume to move them. But once the seeds of determination are planted, they can take root and sprout...... From the bottom of his heart, he felt that it was meaningful to do such a great thing, and perhaps because of his actions, countless lives would be saved from the flames of war!
Nobita nodded vigorously.

As the sun sank into the depths of the sea, the sparkling stars hung in the sky, the lights in the forest shone again, and the cooking smoke rose everywhere, and Linglong Island ushered in another night full of fireworks.
In the needle forest, a unique concert is being carried out in an orderly manner.
