Chapter 132 The People in the Portrait
Another world conference came to an end, and the navy's warships carried kings back to their respective countries. The Holy Land, which had been bustling for a while, returned to calm, and the days returned to their usual rhythm. The Tianlong people continued to indulge in a life of drunkenness, dreams, and death. In the film, the slaves work numbly under the whip of the overseer.
Just like the hundreds of world conferences that have passed in the eight-hundred-year history, no matter how much the conference that is called the world, how chaotic the world below the Holy Land has become, it is still peaceful for the Holy Land. As before, the tsunami below could not reach the Tianlong people in the Holy Land.
but,
Many people are working hard to let the high-ranking Celestial Dragons taste the taste of soil and soles. For example, the Revolutionary Army, such as Elus, they are all working hard to pull the Celestial Dragons from the throne. Of course, what will happen after the throne is vacant? Yes, everyone cleverly avoided this issue.
Before completely stepping the Celestial Dragons into the mud pit, talking about the ownership of the World Throne will only bring unpleasant memories to everyone, and will only benefit the Celestial Dragons in the end. This kind of thing should wait until it actually gets there. It would be more appropriate to say it one day later.
After a period of sailing life at sea, Elus returned to the Kingdom of Exmundo. This trip to the Holy Land was fruitful. Not only did he win over the planned Kingdom of Germa, but also the Kingdom of Alabasta. It also fell into his pocket.
The science and technology of the Kingdom of Germa, the history and heritage of the Kingdom of Alabasta.
Two new allies can bring him greater influence in different fields. He is already planning to expand the maritime network that has almost stagnated. With the Kingdom of Alabasta, plus the already existing A water capital that has become an important hub in the shipping network——
His shipping network can almost cover the entire paradise.
As for the North Sea... the Navy has firmly locked up the technology of installing sea tower stones on warships to cross the windless zone. It cannot cross the windless zone and can only pass through the dangerous waterways of the Upside Down Mountain and the Four Seas. communication, which makes maintaining a maritime network difficult.
Moreover, Germa is a mobile kingdom with no fixed base and is not suitable as a base for expanding the maritime network.
But no matter what, he gained enough benefits from this trip to the Holy Land, and his good luck did not turn from good to bad. He rested for three nights on his soft big bed, and on the fourth One day he suddenly received a new message.
"You said you found the person in the portrait?"
"Your Highness, I swear on my sect's honor that that guy is exactly the same as in the portrait except for a few more scars."
"No, no, I'm not doubting your discovery, it's just that...well, okay! I thought it might take two or three years for this work to yield results, but I didn't expect the results to come out so soon. To be honest, , this was completely beyond my expectation.”
Eleus was dealing with a roasted octopus foot.
There is no doubt that this is a big guy, and the octopus leg in front of Elus is just a small part of the many legs of that big guy.
The time now is noon, and not long after the twelve o'clock bell has passed, Elus came to the restaurant after finishing his busy morning, enjoying the delicious food carefully cooked by the royal chef, but this process He was interrupted by a phone bug that suddenly rang.
Being disturbed from the good time of enjoying the food, Elus was not in a good mood. Before picking up the phone, he secretly swore that if it was not something important, he would definitely let Farug disturb him at this time. Know what a crime it is to spoil his appetite.
correct,
The one who suddenly contacted him at this time was Farug. The Strangler Farug was once a subordinate of Umit. He was defeated by Dick during his fight against Elus and became Elwu. Si's subordinate, although he carries the identity of a traitor.
But Farug's ability is quite good.
Not only is he a good at killing people, but he can also handle administrative work smoothly. Among all Elus' subordinates, Farug's combat power is probably not among the top twenty, but his overall ability is definitely among the top ten. among.
For example, Dick, as Eleus's squire, his martial arts is absolutely worthy of his status as a squire, but he is quite sad in terms of using his brain. Like this, he likes to do things without using his brain. There are still many fist guys, which is also a characteristic of the new world.
In this damn place, the truth is that the fist is big.
In short, after Farug took refuge in Alvus, he was not willing to sink to the lower level. He was very active in dedicating his strength to Alvus, the Kingdom of Exmundo, and the shipping network, and this Once again, he made a new contribution.
It was only ten seconds after I picked up the phone.
The idea of teaching people a lesson has long been thrown away by Elus in the Kingdom of Java. With a microphone in one hand and a knife in the other, he kept cutting the grilled octopus feet covered with sauce. The elastic meat brought an interesting feeling. The pleasant chewiness, the aroma of the sauce and the taste of the octopus feet themselves are perfectly blended...
Ahem,
Of course, the deliciousness of the food could not make Elus ignore Farug's report.
"...Your Highness, are you going to arrest the target next?" Farug asked cautiously in the end. Tens of thousands of copies of the portrait were sent to each subordinate. At the same time, there were also prohibitions and portraits. There is an order to report an armed conflict between people on board as soon as it is discovered.
There was no way that Faruq was unaware of this order.
It's just the desire to climb up that makes him always want to make more contributions.
"If you are so eager to seek death, I suggest you just wipe your neck to make it faster and more comfortable, otherwise..." Elus chuckled, and Farug immediately realized that he was stupid and was not allowed to There was a armed conflict with the person in the portrait... This order was to ensure the personal safety of lower-level cadres, not for any other unexplainable reason.
"Sorry, Your Highness, I am too eager for quick success."
Farooq, who realized his mistake, admitted it straightforwardly.
"You said your current location is... Blackthorn Flower Island? Where... is this place?" Elus had no extra interest in caring about Farug's thoughts. He searched his mind and couldn't find the place called Thorn Flower Island.
"Your Highness..."
Farug said a name to clear up Elus's confusion.
This Black Thorn Flower Island is not within the well-explored waters of the New World. This small island unknown to most people is located in an extremely remote sea area.
As we all know, the New World and Paradise make up the Grand Line.
But unlike Paradise, which has been basically occupied by humans, there are still many sea areas left in the New World that are in a wild state.
Because the climate and environment of the New World are far more than ten times worse than those of Paradise, coupled with the changes in history, humans have conquered and lost the New World. So far, the New World occupied by humans is only a portion of the real New World. Part of it, not even half.
Here, there are many unknown small islands like Black Thorn Flower Island. They are not under the rule of many major forces in the New World, but there are still human footprints on the islands. Many villages and towns have The history can be traced back five to six hundred years ago.
Farug came to such a place where no one can shit because of an accident. He was originally performing other tasks, but encountered a storm halfway. The fleet was blown off its original route by this extremely ferocious storm. They worked hard to get the fleet back on the correct course, but before doing so, they discovered the Blackthorn Flower Island.
When he saw land, he just wanted to replenish fresh water and land ashore. Who knew that Farug saw the target person in the portrait while communicating with the residents of the island.
"Okay! You're very lucky! I think maybe... you can shoulder a more important task." Elus praised Farug, "Every merit must be rewarded, and every deed must be punished, Faroo Ge brought him some exciting news, and he was naturally not stingy with the reward.
No one can refuse the miracle brought by ‘Beng Yu’.
Farooq happened to be one of the few insiders who knew about this miracle.
After hearing Elus's completely explicit words, Farug, who was in the captain's cabin, was shaking with excitement. He tried his best to control his excitement, held the microphone in his hand, and sent a message to Aleus. Sincere thanks.
"Farug, you continue to stay on that island and keep an eye on the target for me. Of course, if you don't want to die, don't let the target find out that you are spying on him. According to my understanding, the target person may not have enough brains, but This kind of fool with a weak head often has superhuman intuition... I don't want to see only the remains of some beasts that have been eaten by wild beasts when I pass by."
"Also, Blackthorn Flower Island, this name...is there a lot of this kind of flower on the island? Are they black flowers?"
"No, that... blackthorn flower is the name of the bird."
"...Blackthorn flowers and birds? It doesn't matter. Anyway, Farug, don't let me down!"
Elus hung up the call.
He pushed the phone bug aside and continued to feast with a knife and fork in hand. What Farug reported was very important, but Elus thought his lunch was more important. Anyway, judging from the intelligence reported by Farug, the target person I stayed at Blackthorn Flower Island for a long time, so I wouldn’t leave suddenly at this time.
Moreover, if the target was really preparing to move because of the arrival of foreign guests such as Farug, he would be powerless to stop it.
The location of Blackthorn Flower Island is very remote. Judging from the information provided by Farug, it will take a long time to rush to Blackthorn Flower Island, and the most important person in charge of this matter is not him.
It's Zefa.
After finishing the huge grilled octopus feet on the dinner plate, Elus drank the juice with ice and took the phone bug to the edge of the outdoor swimming pool. He sat down on the beach chair under the parasol. Then he dialed Zefa's private number without any haste.
The phone bug kept ringing for seven or eight seconds.
Got connected.
"What's the matter? Prince Elvus." The vicissitudes of life and majestic voice sounded. Coincidentally, Zefa also rarely left his heavy work. The easy chair was placed on the deck, and Zefa sat on it. Sunbathing in an easy chair.
At this time, Elus suddenly contacted me.
This made Zefa couldn't help but guess what happened.
"Of course it's a good thing."
Eleus said with a smile.
"Good thing?"
Zefa frowned in confusion.
He carefully recalled what happened in recent days. It seemed that nothing good happened? The conflict with the Big Mom Pirates caused the pirate guerrillas to lose a lot of good players. Although they quickly received support from Elus to replenish the lost troops, this was strictly an unfortunate accident. Woolen cloth!
Where is something good happening?
"That's right. I'm 100% sure. This is definitely a good thing." Elus smiled happily. He didn't continue to lie, but said directly: "My subordinates found the person in the portrait. "
"The person in the portrait..."
Zefa recited it in confusion at first. Then the former general reacted and accidentally crushed the fragile microphone into slag. Fortunately, the microphone and dialing device were all man-made and were installed. On the body of the phone bug, even if it is broken, it will not affect the phone bug.
The former general did not wait patiently for the technical maintenance personnel on the ship to help reset his phone bug. He quickly got the spare phone bug on the ship and contacted Elus again. Just as Eleus was connected, During the call, Zefa was already roaring impatiently.
"Where is he? Tell me! That guy... no, that beast, where is he?"
The hatred and self-blame buried deep in my heart erupted like lava from the crater of a volcano.
"My men are watching him."
Elus answered the question incorrectly.
Zefa, who was in an anxious state, could not speak. He continued: "Compared with this, I am more curious about what you are going to do? Instructor Zefa!!" He deliberately emphasized the last word 'instructor'.
The method of not killing.
Even though the pirate guerrillas are now formed, Zefa still insists on not killing anyone with his own hands. It is just that he can maintain rationality in the face of other pirates and continue to stick to his beliefs, but... in the portrait That man was the enemy who took away the lives of so many of his students.
"I will kill him myself."
Zefa replied decisively.
"...Don't you regret doing this? As long as the news spreads, your reputation as the Immortal Zefa will be destroyed by your own hands."
"Unkillable Zefa... I have never cared about this false reputation. I just regret that I was so soft-hearted at the time. This time, I will never be soft-hearted again. Therefore, Prince Elus, please Please tell me where that person is?"
"The place is very remote, there is no existing route, and the recording pointer is not easy to use. We need the guidance of the life card... Instructor Zefa, you'd better come to Bikaxi Island first!"
