Chapter 185, Dragon Ball Island (2)
Chapter 185, Dragon Ball Island (2)
According to Bluestone's guess, things should look like this:
More than a thousand years ago, the Tenryu Dynasty's Inner Guard Office sent officials to operate in the surrounding waters, and they occupied the island and established a base. In order to avoid the endless attacks of the natives, they made a large shielding array to make the entire island invisible, and the natives did not understand the advanced formation technique, thinking that they were evil demons with mana power, and used magic to steal their holy island.
Fearing harassment, officials stationed on the island bombarded all the boats that dared to approach with energy cannons, and stocked saber-toothed ghost sharks in the sea to intimidate the indigenous fishermen from approaching.
After a long time, naturally no one dared to come again, and the indigenous patriarchs and great elders at that time could not defeat their opponents, so they said nonsense that those people were demons and magic, and casually said that the Holy Island would come back by itself in a thousand years, and chatted to comfort the clansmen.
A few days ago, there was a problem with the energy barrier of this island, and the island was revealed, and it was accidentally discovered by the natives, so this series of things happened later.
The Tianlong Dynasty lasted for 1,600 years, and the official uniforms of its internal guard mansion were basically unchanged, and the Tianxuan Dynasty only added a black border to the original official uniforms, so the evil demons drawn by these natives back then were also dressed as Duan Wutian and Shen Jiayun.
As for seeing Duan Shen and the others casting magic and putting the holy island into the magic bag, Qingshi estimated that the situation was just the opposite, it was precisely Duan Shen and the others who used the spell to destroy the shielding magic circle enchantment, which made these natives find their holy island back.
Qingshi looked at the map, while thinking about the original situation, he put away the map and threw back the native, and said with a decision: "What this old man said is right, this island is Dragon Ball Island, but that was a thousand years ago, after this island fell into the hands of the demons, it fell into the hands of this Xiang hero, and now it is the private property of Xiang Hero, how to deal with it Naturally, he should have the final say, but I think he should return it to you." After speaking, he looked at Xiang An.
Those barbarians also looked at Xiang An together, their eyes full of the most ardent anticipation. Xiang An naturally figured out what was going on, and secretly scolded Qingshi in his heart, but he didn't dare to bring it out on his face.
Qingshi knew his intentions, and said with a smile: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers of Tanlong Island, this Brother Xiang is a great hero, it took a lot of effort for him to recapture Dragon Ball Island from the demons, originally he wanted to use this island as his own cemetery, but now that he has found that this island was originally your family property, and because of a misunderstanding, he killed and injured so many of your clansmen, I think he will definitely return the island to you, do you say it is a big hero of Xiang?" ”
Xiang An listened to Qingshi's words, knowing that this island was going to be taken by Qingshi to compensate for these barbarian natives, his eyes rolled, and he pretended to be helpless and said: "Yes, I took back this island from the demons, but more than 300 of my subordinates died, but now that I know that it is your holy island, then I will return it...... I'll give it to you. However, since this island is your holy island, I think you must know this island very well, but I have a few questions I want to ask you to see if you can answer them, in case you lied to me! ”
"Hero, excuse me!" The old man said respectfully, "We absolutely did not deceive you. ”
"Why is this island called Dragon Ball Island?" Xiang An asked, "If you don't even know this, then it means that this island is not yours at all." ”
Qingshi looked at Xiang An and couldn't help but think, what does this guy mean? Isn't the origin of the island's name what I thought?
The old man looked back at the two people beside him, and after the three of them talked in a low voice, the old man said: "This was originally a secret of our clan, but in order to prove that we are not lying, I will tell you that there is a hidden dragon spring on this island, and there are dragon balls at the bottom of the spring, so we call this island Dragon Ball Island." ”
"Nonsense!" Xiang An said, "What is the secret of this, even the people of the old sand country know that Dragon Ball Island produces dragon balls, you have to tell the location of Dragon Spring and the method of entering Dragon Spring to prove it." ”
"This ......," the old man hesitated visibly.
"Humph!" Xiang An said loudly, "I don't know, I don't even know this and dare to say that Dragon Ball Island is yours." Those demons know the location, I know the location, you don't even know ......"
"Heroic and slow!" The old man said, "You mean the demons know the secrets of Dragon Ball Island, and you know too?" ”
"Or else?" Xiang Anqi said, "Why else would the demons rob your island?" Why should I sacrifice my blood to take it back from the demons? You liars......"
"Heroes Breathe Anger!" The old man hurriedly said, "The location and method of entering the Hidden Dragon Spring are only known to the patriarch and the Great Elder of the Palm Sacrifice, this is a secret in our clan, how can everyone know about it?" We really didn't lie to you! ”
"Hmm!" Xiang Jia touched his chin in a mocking manner, nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense, now tell me which tribe you belong to, you, and your patriarch, what are your great elders called?" ”
"We are the Tanlong clan who have lived in the Tanlong Islands for generations, and we are nominally vassals of the Black Sea State, but we have stopped paying tribute to the Black Sea State since a hundred years ago, because we have a great patriarch, his name is Annaba, he is a famous warrior in the entire Seven Evil Seas, and he has thousands of warriors and warships under his command. Our Palm Priest Great Elder is called Uyunda, and he is the wisest and wisest person in the entire Seven Evil Seas. I'm one of the elders of the clan, my name is Wall, and my tribe is the closest to here, so the patriarch summoned me to come first. ”
"Hmm!" Xiang An said, "It seems that what you said doesn't seem like a lie, so I'll just believe you." However, the handover of the Holy Island cannot be so sloppy, this is a sacred moment, you are not qualified to receive the Holy Island from me, you should go back and inform your patriarch and the Great Elder, your whole clan has calculated the auspicious day, prepared a solemn ceremony, and then your Patriarch and the Great Elder will come to receive it in person, this is the right reason. ”
"Yes, that's right!" Wall smiled, "Our Patriarch and Grand Elder are preparing the ceremonial supplies, and they will be coming to receive Dragon Ball Island on the Sea Dragon King's birthday three days later!" We're here to fight the front station to exorcise the demons. ”
"You're underestimating demons, aren't you?" Xiang An said, "Did you come here with a total of three airships and three small boats?" How many people came? ”
"Yes," said Wall, "six ships, one hundred and forty men, few men, but all warriors of my tribe. The large number of warships and warriors of our tribe was slow to assemble because they were scattered across the islands, but the Annaba Patriarch had begun to assemble a few days ago, and he would have led the crowd at any moment. ”
The man next to him who escaped in by airship from outside said, "Elder Wall, the five ships outside have all made these two big ...... The great hero was sunk, and all but ten of us were probably dead. ”
"I know!" Wall said helplessly, "You all said it just now, this is a misunderstanding!" ”
"Yes, yes, it's a misunderstanding!" Xiang An said, "We were just about to come over to see if there were any demons, but we didn't expect to be attacked by you, we thought you were in league with demons!" ”
"These sacrifices are worth it for the sake of Dragon Ball Island!" Wall said, "You heard this great hero say that they also paid the sacrifice of three hundred warriors! ”
"That's it," Xiang An said, "so many of my men have died, and so many orphans and widows are living in poverty." By the way, Elder Wall, I gave you Dragon Ball Island, shouldn't you also say something? I am not scarce of money and treasures, but what about my men who died to reclaim your islands? Their families deserve some compensation from you. ”
"It's nature!" Wall said, "When I go back to the Ming Patriarch and the Great Elder, I will definitely compensate you, and I can promise you now that I will give you at least three hundred ingots of purple gold and three hundred sea spirit beads." ”
"I don't dare to accept such a precious thing as the Sea Spirit Bead," Xiang An said, "Since this island is called Dragon Ball Island, and it is rich in Dragon Balls, why don't you give it to me...... Give my dead brothers some Dragon Balls, as compensation and remembrance for their sacrifice for Dragon Ball Island. ”
"Where do we have Dragon Balls now?" Wall's eyes widened and he said, "Didn't you take back Dragon Ball Island from the demons?" You also know the location of the Hidden Dragon Spring and how to enter it, didn't you get the Dragon Ball from the Hidden Dragon Spring? ”
"Well, this one!" Xiang An said with some frustration, "I didn't even get a single dragon ball, it seems that the dragon balls were taken away by those demons." Don't you have any inventory? ”
"It's been a thousand years!" Wall said, "It's just that we owned Dragon Ball Island back then, and after we got the Dragon Balls, we immediately sold them to buy supplies for the tribe, where is there any inventory!" ”
"Alright then!" Xiang An said, "Compensation or anything else will wait for your patriarch and great elder to come." Go away, and I'll wait for you to take over the island in three days. ”
Wall began to retreat with a dozen of his clansmen, carrying a few dead clansmen. These natives who died in battle were naturally killed by Duan Wutian and Shen Jiayun, but Qingshi and Xiang An did not kill any of them, of course, they killed much more than Duan Shen and the others outside.
After Wall took two steps, he looked back at Xiang An and wondered, "Aren't these two demons?" ”
"Of course not," Xiang An said, "They are also my subordinates, warriors who have infiltrated the demons and gone undercover!" ”
Wall and the others stopped talking, and turned around together, and Qingshi realized that there was a narrow stone road that ran into the western mountain wall, and Wall and the others walked out along this road. It appears that this is a passage to the outside world of the crater.
The middle-aged man took a few injured clansmen onto the airship and flew away from the crater, which could only hold a maximum of ten people, and the rest could only walk to the mountain wall passage. After a while, the airship disappeared from sight, and the rest of the natives also walked out of the volcano along the passage, and they did not stop, but went directly to the seashore, and then released two small boats and drove away.
