Chapter 4: "Asking for Money" and "Cooperation"
According to the identity information provided by the park, Tonino Gray Yao is obviously a free-spirited person, he prefers the life of sea adventures and world exploration, and has no idea of inheriting the kingdom of Tyria.
That's why Tonino Gray Yao chose to run away from home, which is almost a sign of giving up the inheritance, and directly leaving the responsibility of inheriting the kingdom to his brother Harvey.
And now, Chi Yao's answer obviously has to match the identity of the persona.
Faced with the questioning under the pressure of Tonino Caro's momentum, Ji Yao stabilized his mind and replied calmly.
"No, I don't have any interest in the position of heir to the kingdom."
Hearing Chi Yao's answer, Tonino Caro's face was calm and he spoke slowly.
"Yes, that's a pity, judging by my experience, you are more suitable to be a king than Harvey."
Ji Yao shook his head and spread his hands outstretched.
"Your Majesty, you know, I have been active since I was a child, and my mind is not on governing the kingdom, but on the life of sea adventures and exploring the world."
"And, isn't Brother Harvey doing a good job?"
After listening to Ji Yao's explanation, Tonino Caro just nodded slightly.
"Forget it, if you don't want to, I won't force it."
Immediately, Tonino Carlo's words changed and he said.
"I have one more question for you, though."
"In the past two years, I have paid attention to Ling's experience, it is okay in the East China Sea, your deeds are continuous and complete, but in the course of the great voyage, the information is not smooth, I only know part of it."
"I know that you have made a lot of fame, and you have mastered the lightning ability similar to the thunder fruit."
"So, what are you going to do with your life of sea adventures and return to the Kingdom of Tyria?"
Chi Yao pondered for a while, as if he was "hesitating", and finally spoke.
"During my adventures on the Great Voyage, I strayed into an ancient ruin, from which I learned a technique for making inscriptions."
Tonino Caro's eyes shrank suddenly, staring at Chi Yao tightly, and his tone was solemn for several minutes, even making the air in the entire hall as heavy as if it had been poured with mercury.
"Ancient ruins?"
"You said you learned this technique?"
"Do you recognize the text of history?!"
Tonino Caro's voice rose higher and higher, and under his momentum, the voice seemed to become a embodied existence, intertwined to form a cascading sound wave.
Ji Yao showed a blank expression, as if he was quite puzzled by what Tonino Caro said.
"Historical text? What's that? I found something like a ball of light in the ruins, and I fell unconscious when I saw it. ”
"And when I woke up, the knowledge of inscription technology appeared in my mind, and the ball of light disappeared, and the ancient ruins gradually collapsed, completely disappearing into the ocean."
Seeing that Ji Yao's expression did not seem to be fake, and the dazedness in it was just right, Tonino Caro's face softened a little and said.
"It's nothing, you don't know that this thing is protecting you."
"So, you're coming back because of this so-called inscription technique?"
Ji Yao nodded, put his hand deep into his pocket, and took out a set of low-level inscriptions with various attribute bonuses, which looked like small diamond-shaped patches stacked on top of each other, explained.
"It's this kind of small patch that allows the person holding the weapon to get special enhancements, and different inscriptions can have different bonuses, such as strength, agility, and physical strength."
"As for my return, I hope to find materials that can be used to make these inscriptions, or to collect them through the channels of the kingdom."
"It's too difficult for me to collect materials on my own."
"The inscriptions I have left in my hands are still made from the materials I got from the ruins, and they are now consumed."
Tonino Caro waved his hand, and a wave of sound lifted the inscription in Chi Yao's hand to his hand, carefully observing and experiencing it.
Tonino Caro felt it, and his eyes lit up.
"The effect is a little too weak for me, and if it is used to arm ordinary soldiers, it should be enough."
"However, if you want to use the channels of the kingdom to collect materials, do you have enough Berry?"
Watching Tonino Caro's operation, Chi Yao had a guess in his heart, judging from Tonino Caro's previous performance, he was likely to be a voice type Devil Fruit ability.
But on the surface, Ji Yao still maintained his character design, coughed lightly, and seemed to be a little "embarrassed".
"Ahem, not yet."
The corners of Tonino Caro's mouth twitched slightly, as if he realized what Ji Yao wanted to do.
"So, you're here to ask for money."
Ji Yao defended it, saying that it was a win-win cooperation of mutual benefit and reciprocity.
"Your Majesty, it's not about asking for money, it's cooperation, you provide the materials, I make the inscription, and the ownership of the inscription belongs to you."
Tonino Carromi's eyes lifted and seemed to be lost in thought.
Ji Yao also stopped talking and waited patiently on the side.
After a while, Tonino Caro opened his eyes and had made a decision.
"Let's talk about what materials you want."
Ji Yao said.
"These materials can be hard to find: Medium Energy Circuit, Blood Condensation Grass, Dark Cloud Vine Sap, Wind Yin Fruit, Yuanyang Stone, and so on."
"Of course, items of similar nature, such as medium energy circuits, are required to have R98T conduction properties and be sensitive enough for energy sensing."
Listening to Chi Yao's description of the name of the dish, Tonino Caro found that except for Yuanyang Stone, a national specialty, the rest had never heard of it.
Tonino Caro put his hands in front of him and was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Well, in three days, I'll take care of the materials, but I may need you to go to Justice Island then."
Chi Yao was a little confused, he didn't expect the plan given by Tonino Caro to be so beneficial to him, he could be called a sleepy pillow!
Ji Yao kept his composure and asked with a calm expression.
"Justice Island? I remember it was the court of the world government, right? What to do there? ”
Tonino Caro looked at Ji Yao and explained.
"The materials you mentioned may only be provided by the World Government, and your inscriptions, the World Government will also be interested, I will help you contact the World Government, as for the rest, you don't have to worry about it."
Chi Yao guessed Tonino Carlo's idea, the other party could ask the navy to help garrison Yuanyang Island, obviously not shallow with the world government, maybe he was still in a high position in the world government.
And letting Chi Yao's own inscription be sold to the World Government is also a great achievement for Tonino Caro, and the two sides can be regarded as mutually beneficial.
Thinking of this, Chi Yao agreed, joined the world government, and was able to go directly to Justice Island, which saved him a lot of worry.
Before Ji Yao left, Tonino Caro spoke lastly.
"In the next few days before you leave, go and help Harvey deal with the problem of the No. 6 vein, and he will give you the Yuanyang stone you need."
After saying that, Tonino Caro sent Chi Yao away, continued to flip through the files on the table, and dealt with domestic affairs.
Ji Yao walked out of the main hall, knowing that he had the trust of King Tonino Caro, and the possible hidden danger of the identity of the second prince had been temporarily eliminated.
In the next few days, Chi Yao needs to help the eldest prince Harvey deal with the Yuanyang stone minerals, which is also Carlo's final test to some extent.
