"I want to exchange all the books on your ship!"

The old village chief's request surprised Lu Gui and them, but after thinking about it, they felt that it was reasonable.

On this isolated island, gold, silver and jewelry are no different from dung to them, if not worse than dung.

Dung can be used for fertilization, but gold and silver can't be exchanged for anything. After all, it's all barter, and gold and silver are ordinary metals to them.

In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, there is always a time to finish eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies;

And the way to improve combat effectiveness, Roger also passed on a lot of them at the beginning, which was enough.

All that remains is books, or knowledge, that can change their fate.

Besides, no one can stay with them for a long time, but what they learn through books can.

Maybe one day, after their efforts, they can get out of here on their own, and that will be the real liberation.

"When we first met the Roger Pirates, we didn't realize the importance of knowledge to us.

At that time, our way of life was also very primitive.

When Roger and the others left, we learned a lot of useful things through the books they left behind, and we have the open-minded person we are now.

So, if you have any books on board, please leave us a copy, which is the greatest help to us, and what the old man expects. ”

After the old village chief finished speaking, he bowed to Lu Gui and them.

Lu Gui hurriedly dragged him with his hands and straightened his body.

"This request is very simple, we also have a lot of books on the ship, so it's good to stay when we go back, and the village chief doesn't have to be so polite."

"Is it okay to have any type of book? I also have a lot of books on food there. ”

Belle asked.

"Hehe, it's okay, a lot of knowledge is figured out, no matter what kind of books, we need them."

The old village chief said with a smile.

"That's easy, you don't have to pick and choose, all the books will be delivered to you."

"No, just lend us two days, and we'll copy it and return it to you when we're done."

"Some of them are given by others, but you need to copy them back and return them, and you don't need to use the others.

If we need it later, we can go out and buy it back, so the village chief doesn't have to be polite to us. ”

Lu Gui said with a smile.

"In that case, well, thanks again!"

While a few people were talking, Anne had already finished rubbing the historical text, and after checking that there was no problem, she handed it over to Lu Gui and received it in the imprint space.

"When the matter is done, the guests will come with me to stay in the village for a while, and it will take time to copy books."

The old village chief sent out an invitation.

"Okay, let's go."

The village chief, Hal, led the way in front, and Lu Gui followed behind.

"This place is not the same as the location marked on the parchment scroll, and there must be other treasures hidden here besides the historical text."

Belle leaned over to Lu Gui and whispered.

"Well, I know. Now is not the time to hunt for treasure, go back to the village first, and then look for a chance to find it.

It is estimated that the village chief does not know about the treasure, but even if they do, they should not be of much interest.

Don't worry, we'll stay on the island for two more days, and if there's really a treasure there, we won't be able to lose it. ”

Lu Gui smiled and said softly.

Belle nodded, and the others didn't say much. The group followed the village chief, Hal, for about half an hour, and finally came to the entrance of a village.

As far as the eye can see, the houses here are all simple brick houses, with only three floors at the highest, and the appearance is still very new, so it should have not been built for a long time.

"The house used to be more shabby, and I learned it from the books Roger gave me, and I will slowly improve it later."

The old village chief explained.

"We don't care about this, as long as the house can shelter from the wind and rain, it's not that we haven't suffered hardships."

"Sluggish!"

The old village chief said politely, and then took Lu Gui and them into the village.

The population of this village is not much, and the scale is basically up to the standard of a town, and if it can be developed well, it is not impossible to become prosperous.

The villagers who came back first spread the news of their arrival throughout the village, so when a few people walked into the village street, there were crowds of people watching the excitement on both sides.

Belle took the future with her, and the two smiled and waved to the villagers, looking like a leader had come to inspect the work.

Looking at the performance of the villagers, the village chief was afraid that Lu Gui would not like this, so he confessed again.

"Uncle Village, don't think that we are so terrible, okay, we don't have to apologize for everything, in this way, it makes us very uncomfortable."

Belle grumbled slightly.

"Yes, we'll have a lot of trouble for you in the days to come.

If you're always like that, then how can we be embarrassed to speak.

You say, don't you? ”

Lu Gui then said.

"Okay, got it. Then none of us should continue to be polite, the meal should be ready, and the old man will take you directly over. ”

"Haha, that's right, don't fix those nothing, we don't care about those etiquette things, let's go, I'm hungry."

Joe said with a laugh.

Under the leadership of the old village chief, Lu Gui and the others soon came to an open hall, and the long table was already full of steaming meals. Among the people who came to accompany him, in addition to the village chief's own family, there were also some people from the village who had some weight.

They had all been in contact with the Roger Pirates and had some friendships. Able to speak, but also more receptive to external things.

They got to know each other, and then they sat down to eat.

Lu Gui and the old village chief sat together, chatting while eating.

"Uncle Howl, there's something I'd like to confirm."

Lu Gui took a sip of the village's home-brewed wine, and then said.

"What's the matter, Brother Lu Gui, you say."

"Didn't anyone land on your island before the Roger Pirates?"

The treasure map in Lu Gui's hand should not have been left by Roger and them, because the mechanism set up on it is very vicious, not like One Piece can make it.

"Not in my memory, unless someone came to us before and didn't come into contact with the people on the island, there would always be some traces."

The village chief, Hal, thought for a moment and then said.

"That's strange, we found this place based on a nautical chart, since someone has mapped the location of this place, then he must have been here, could it be that this person really came here quietly a long time ago?"

Lu Gui frowned and said suspiciously.

"Nautical charts? You didn't find this by accident, but from a chart?

Could it be that Roger and the others drew it, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to find it here if I want to come over in the future? ”

The old village chief said in surprise.

"No, in my judgment, it won't be them.

Are there any forbidden places on this island that are difficult for humans to get through? ”

Lu Gui then asked.

"No, our ancestors have lived here for generations, and there are our footprints in every part of the island, and there is no forbidden place."

The old village chief said with great certainty.

"Maybe it was a long time ago, when the islanders didn't know about it, someone came here, left something, and then left.

We're here out of curiosity to see what it will be. ”

Lu Gui did not hide the purpose of his group coming here, after all, in the process of searching for it later, there may be a lot of movement.

That's the people of the island, and they can guess what they want to do. Instead of misunderstanding at that time, it is better to make it clear now.

It is not by force that there is no fear, but out of respect.

"I understand, Brother Lu Gui can tell him frankly, and the old man is very grateful.

After that, you can go to the island and look for it without anyone interfering.

If you encounter any problems and need the guidance of our locals, you can also raise them, and we will not have any secrets. ”

The old village chief said very reasonably.
