Chapter 9 should be a firebolt

It's noon.

The alchemist Yuri was still fiddling with his experiments, and Donner flipped through the Continental Chronicles in his hand.

Donner stayed here these days, spending most of the rest of his time in the book, except for the occasional look at Yuri's experiments, and to this day he has not been able to finish the more than two hundred pages of the chronicle made of parchment.

This book records the historical changes of races and kingdoms in the continent from the creation of the world to nearly a hundred years.

In Downer's view, there will always be some kind of similarity between civilizations in every world, and this world is no exception. At the beginning of the chronicles, it is recorded that the creation god created the world, and then to various gods and mythological figures appeared.

Although there is such an incredible existence as this land called the Holy Light Continent, as a staunch materialist, Donner still has doubts about the authenticity of various myths.

At the beginning, the Holy Light Continent also transitioned from the mother's society to the father's society, and the most representative figure was the Holy Light Goddess, the highest belief of the Holy See.

After that, the continent experienced the age of tribes, slave owners, lords, kingdoms, the second generation of empires, and then to the current state of fragmentation.

This period of recorded and historically documented racial history is only 2,000 years.

And the words that appear most often are the Holy See and the Goddess of Light, and it seems that the human beings of this world have been bathed in the Holy Light of the Goddess since they could remember, and they have been guided by the Holy See to grow.

Then, there are also conflicts with other races, such as elves, dwarves, orcs, fishmen, ogres, goblins, etc., as well as the Titans living in the Titan continent.

The Titan Continent is bordered by a narrow corridor to the western part of the Holy Light Continent.

These are the two continents known in this world, the rich and beautiful Holy Light Continent and the Titan Continent in the desert land.

All this seems to be the background of a fantasy novel that he has read before, and the races and various Warcraft that appear are like living out of various game novels, movies and television.

Of course, there is a slight difference, the Titans here are dark-skinned, one-eyed, and live in the desert with extremely high temperature differences.

Listening to Yuri, at this time, it seems that the Titans are holding the Titan Sutra and the Great Sword and are at war with the other lords and kingdoms led by the suzerainty of the Western Continent, the Papal States.

It is rumored that the corridor has become a flesh millstone, a veritable corridor of death, and it is even more exaggerated that the strait on the side has been stained with blood in the Red Sea.

After reading the chronicle, this world also had a rough outline in his mind, and Donner also understood the location of Crescent Island, which was probably above the eastern sea of the Eastern Continent of Holy Light.

Of course, even if he knew that it was useless now, his current range of activities still couldn't go beyond Crescent Island.

These days, the pirate captain Willy would take more than thirty slaves to the sea every day to practice, and every time he went to sea, he would leave Donner behind to look after his family.

The purpose is obvious, it is nothing more than to separate Donner from the new slaves, and then assimilate these slaves as soon as possible, turning them into obedient pirates.

Donner's guess was indeed correct, the pirate leader Willy learned the details of the iron mine from Hans, and knew that this group of slaves in the iron mine was obedient to Donner, very trusting, and was tempted by Donner's fictitious territory.

Even he felt that even Hans, who was most loyal to him, was bewitched by some of Donner's words.

Thinking about how many armed people there were in the entire Crescent Island, how could this pirate leader rest assured that more than thirty people were in the hands of Donner alone, especially with the two uneasy deputy commanders.

Willy just wanted to separate Donner from this group of slaves, and then tempted assimilation and restriction, and captured these slaves in his own hands, so he divided more than 30 slaves on the pirate ship, the purpose was to stabilize Donner and this group of slaves first, and then slowly subdue them after returning to the island.

However, this group of slaves was brainwashed by Donner's remarks in the iron mine for nearly half a year, and they had almost convinced Donner's words, and every time they came back from going to sea, they would gather around Donner and tell Donner everything the three pirate leaders had done.

And Donner would smile and comfort them, encourage them, praise them, care for them, and would explain to them some basic knowledge of the sea, how to protect themselves, how to adapt to the environment on board, but never speak ill of the pirates.

These words will move the slaves and die to death, as the lowest slave in this world, no one has ever been so kind to them.

This is in stark contrast to the pirate captains.

"Don't look at it, don't look at it, get something to eat, it's the steak from last time, it tastes very good. Donner was still reading intently, and Yuri put down his experiment.

Donner looked up, a hint of helplessness on his face, but at the end of the day, he was able to come and go in and out of the old alchemist's room with a strange temper at will, thanks to his little cooking skills.

Old Yuri lives a sloppy life and focuses on experiments, but he pays more attention to this aspect of eating, and the other people on Crescent Island only need to fill their stomachs, but he has a lot of seasonings here, sour, spicy, bittersweet and sour, I heard that these seasonings are all made by himself.

This is more powerful, you must know that most commoners in this world only have oil, salt and sugar at home, and only those nobles are so particular about eating.

Of course, Donner's reason for running so diligently to the old alchemist's house was to eat mixed food, after all, he was fed up with the days when two meals a day were tasteless bread.

Donner eats lunch and leaves, and Yuri has to sleep for a while at this time.

On the way back, Donner suddenly remembered Yuri's experiment with saltpeter.

And then there's the sulfur? This thing is found in every household on the island, mainly to prevent poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, plus charcoal that can be found everywhere, it seems that you can make something for self-defense?

Donner arrives at Blacksmith Anderson's house, where he is crafting weapons while Anna helps pull the bellows.

Iron weapons are scarce on Crescent Island, so pirate groups that lack weapons will venture to the iron mining area to loot ore.

And the iron ore that was snatched back was handed over to Anderson, and he was allowed to melt it into iron to make weapons.

"Miss Anna is there too!" Donner smiled and nodded to Anna, and then said to Anderson, "Uncle, can you please help me build something out of steel." ”

The temperature of the furnace was so high that the blacksmith was soaked with sweat, and he wiped the sweat from his face with the sweat towel on his shoulder, and his voice was loud: "What are you going to build? You can't use too much steel, Willie will know." ”

"It's about this long, so thick, it's an iron pipe. "Donner didn't know the weights and measures of this world, so he could only use his hands to gauge the approximate length and diameter.

"That's it, that's it. Anderson nodded.

"Great, thank you uncle. ”

Then, Donner said softly to Anna, "Miss Anna, I'll help you pull the bellows, you can rest." ”

Because the two families are neighbors, Anna often brings food to Donner, and they become familiar with each other.

And Donner is humble and gentle, and he often comes here to help when he has nothing to do, which is much better than the rude pirates before, so the two father and daughter have a very good impression of Donner.

In order to get closer, it was not the first time that Donner helped pull the bellows, so he naturally took over Anna's work and pulled the bellows.

I don't know if it's because the temperature of the stove is too high, or if she's shy, Anna's face is flushed.

Ever since she had known Donner, she had felt that Donner was different from the other pirates, he was gentle, always with a smile on his lips, polite and elegant.

Moreover, he will help her pull the bellows and clean up the plates.

She glanced at Donner secretly, snorted, gracefully lifted the corner of her linen skirt, squatted slightly on her legs, and then retreated into the house.

Donner touched his nose, he always felt that this girl did not look like a pirate group at all, and she should not appear on pirate island, she should appear at the banquet of the nobles and the party of the ladies salon.
