Chapter 37
In order to show respect to the chief, Noah also drew the word Hedao, held it in front of him, held the spear, and knocked the opponent back with another force. The chief of Sandia took a few steps back to stand still, and charged again. He stabbed out his spear with the mentality of letting his opponent bleed even if he died in the opponent's hands.
Seeing the opponent's bravery, Noah also slashed Wadao Yimonji fiercely and hit the chief on the chest, causing him to fly back at an extremely fast speed, fall to the ground, roll around a few times and then stopped moving.
"No~~~"
Waipa, who rushed back to the battlefield, saw the chief died on the spot and became furious instantly. Carrying the platoon attack, Bei rushed towards Noah at the risk of his life.
"This won't work. It's not the time for you to use the volley shell now." If your physical condition is not good enough, you will die if you use the volley shell. If no one stops this stubborn person, he will really resort to the method of death together.
After saying that, Noah grabbed Vaipa's hand, took away the shell, and punched Vaipa in the abdomen, causing him to lose his fighting ability instantly.
"Ugh, uh, cough, cough, I won't let you go. How dare you hurt my people and kill the chief. I won't... let you go!"
Waipa, who was kneeling on the ground, stared at Noah fiercely with the look of a devil.
Gan Fuer, who was watching, was also frightened at this time. Didn't he agree that he was here to resolve the conflict between Sky Island and the Sandians? Is this how you solved it? After solving Sandia, will we have to solve Sky Island? He was secretly careful, ready to mount Pierre and run away at any time.
At this time, the chief lying far away took a sharp breath and sat up. Um? What's going on? Wasn't I killed by a sword? After touching his chest, only a white mark remained. The chief is a little confused now.
Not only Chief Meng, but also Waipa and Gan Fore were both happy and a little confused. It was obviously chopped down, how could it be okay?
"There are swordsmen in this world who can cut through anything, and there are swordsmen who can cut through everything. This is the basis of a swordsman." Noah pretended to be cool.
The battlefield became eerily quiet. After a while.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
The chief stood up with Waipa's help. After checking the other fallen clansmen, none of them were dead. The chief also realized that this Qinghai man was not here to help the Kongdao people exterminate their clan.
"I'm here to resolve the conflict between you and the Sky Islanders, and I need Shantora's gold. So I came here to negotiate with you."
Negotiation... If the chief couldn't defeat Noah, he would definitely put a few holes in this annoying face.
Noah's choice of this method of communication was also a helpless move. The Sandia people have always been like this. People without strength are not qualified to speak, and they are ruthless and extreme in temperament. It was like this 400 years ago, and it will still be like this 400 years later.
When the great warriors Calgara and Rolando met for the first time, they fought each other passionately. If Rolando hadn't still had some strength, Calgara would have fed him to God Cassie before he could even speak. Even if Rolando later saved his daughter and his tribe, he immediately fell out because of the misunderstanding about cutting down the spiritual tree, and he still didn't ask the reason. Not only Calgara, but other Sandians are like this too, it’s really difficult to deal with.
400 years later, in the original work, Vaipa was as paranoid as his ancestors, and fought with Luffy without distinguishing between good and evil. Finally, he came to his senses after being hit by the lightning that destroyed the sky island in Enel.
Noah and Rolando are different. For such people, we cannot fully hope to use our lives and blood to move each other. He also doesn't have Luffy's aura of friendliness and a terrifying common enemy.
So he chose the route of his ancestors, convincing people with reason. This is also for God Gan Fule to see. This kind of strength that can suppress Sky Island will not let him have some small thoughts.
Now that everyone is sitting down, we can talk about things calmly. You see how good it is now and saves a lot of things.
Chapter 59 Making Peace
"...In the end, Rolando told people about the legend of the golden city of Shantora until he was executed. Unfortunately, after nearly a hundred years, he is still mentioned in the sea as the king of liars."
In the open space, Noah was telling the story of Rolando to the Sandians.
"I didn't expect that my ancestors' constant regret would end like this."
The chief sighed, and Lucky beside him also wiped away tears.
"Hmph, when I go to the Lubnir Kingdom, I must blow that kingdom away!"
The only one who can say such things is Vaipa.
After telling Rolando's story, the atmosphere at the scene had relaxed a lot. At least, everyone lying on the ground stood up.
The chief asked most of the people to return to the village and seriously talked to Noah about the original problem.
"Mr. Noah, how do you solve the hatred between us and the people on the empty island?"
"The basic differences lie in three points, one is land, one is the light of Shantora, and the other is hatred.
The land is easy to solve. I can take you to your hometown of Gaya Island, or take you back to 'Apayado'. "
Regarding "Apayado", Noah believes that the sovereignty here belongs to the Sandians. Although the Sandians have various problems, it is indeed part of Gaya Island. After ascending to the sky, he was driven out of his homeland by the Sky Islanders. This behavior still needs to be corrected.
The Sky Island people's understanding of "Apayado" is a miracle given by God and must belong to God. Moreover, the entire "Apayado" has been designated as a sacred area, where only gods can live. Only God can live in such a big place? waste!
Noah would definitely not support this idea. god? Regarding the divine word before Gan Fore's name, Noah regarded it as an ordinary name. His surname is Shen Gan and his given name is Fulma.
Theocracy is a system of political rule in which religious leaders control the state. Prevalent in slave society and feudal society. The happy life of the Sky Island residents comes from the current god, a god who longs for peace. If it is a god like Enel who uses fear as a weapon, the residents of Sky Island still obey the gods.
This system is backward, and of course Noah has no plans to change this status quo immediately. Because Sky Island is still in a very closed state and does not receive much information and production materials from the outside world, it can be maintained like this. But when Sky Island comes into contact with the outside world more and more, this theocratic rule will naturally come to an end.
"As for the light of Shandorla, I know where it is and can take you to ring it again, so that its sound echoes in the sky again, so that Rolando's soul can rest in peace and fulfill Calgara's last wish 400 years ago.
The final hatred will be handled by Ganfur and the chief. I will be a witness. "
After hearing what Noah said, some people in Sandia couldn't quite believe it. Why are the conditions so good?
At this time, Gan Fore stood up, adjusted his armor, and raised his lance, which made the Sandians nervous. Is this going to end the dispute with a bloody duel?
Chief Sandia was not to be outdone, with a spear in hand and a fighting stance.
Gan Fore took a deep breath and bowed his head instantly
"I'm sorry, so many people have died in the past 400 years. There are Sky Islanders and Sandians. They can all live together on this Sky Island and the earth. Everything should end from today. I think You can take it if you want my life!”
Originally Gan Fore did not intend to do this to this extent, but after seeing Noah's strength and determination with his own eyes, he knew that something was inevitable. Instead of being reluctant, it is better to take the initiative and do more. He still knows the simplicity of the Sandians. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if one of the people in this group becomes passionate, there is a true great god named Noah beside him. For the sake of peace between the two races, he cannot die.
Peace-loving is peace-loving, and Gan Fore is not a fool. He can still think of these things.
Faced with the apology from the Sky Island God, the Sandians were a little at a loss. This was much more difficult than a duel. Looking at Gan Fore in front of him, the chief had a lot of thoughts. Since he was a child, the previous chief had been instilling hatred, leading the soldiers to continuously attack the sanctuary, and then returning with the bodies of the soldiers. He has seen too much.
But the Sky Island God, whom the Sandians hated so much, was right in front of him, bowing and apologizing. He tremblingly raised the spear in his hand, but looked at his village and the children who had returned, He put it down tremblingly. He couldn't do it. He didn't want to keep the two tribes in the flames of war out of hatred. He hoped that everyone in Yunyin Village could set foot on their hometown. Ring the golden bell together.
The souls of the ancestors who have died for so many years will also come back to rest in peace along the lights of Shantola. As for himself, he will apologize to his predecessors after his death.
"Hey~~~"
The spear fell to the ground. Seeing this admiration, the older soldiers just sighed, while the young people exploded. They couldn't understand why hatred could be let go.
Vaipa rushed towards the spear with which he would pierce Ghan For's head. But before he could pick it up, he was pushed to the ground by the chief. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw tears all over the chief's old face.
"Waipa, I told you that you must protect your own people. Is this how you protect yourself? Ah!"
Seeing the chief's tears, Vaipa also understood that the one with the most hatred and pain was the man who had watched him grow up. For everyone, he put down far more things than everyone imagined.
Maturity really only happened in a moment. Vaipa began to think seriously. At this time, it was right to sign a peace treaty with the God of Sky Island. The people of Sandia can walk out of this hidden small village and return to their homeland. They can continue to light the lights of Shantora and fulfill Calgara's last wish. The tribesmen would like this kind of life instead of continuing to live a difficult life in this corner.
"I'm sorry, Chief, I understand."
Seeing the mature and steady look in Waipa's eyes, the chief was very distressed. Only suffering made the wild young warrior mature.
Seeing that the Shandia people had resolved their internal conflicts, Gan Fore breathed a sigh of relief and felt very complicated. Not only the Sandians had hatred, but the Sky Islanders also had it, but because God was always in the way, there wasn't much hatred. As for "Apayado", apart from gods and divine guards among Sky Island people, ordinary people are not interested at all because they have never lived in the sanctuary.
I didn’t expect that 400 years of peace in Kongdao would come because of visitors from Qinghai. It was really dramatic.
All that remains is to discuss the peace treaty in detail. The two races, which were filled with hatred before, are now beginning to promote the peace process.
Gan Fuer will return to Sky Island to announce this matter, and Chief Shandia will also announce it to all the villagers. After both parties have accepted the matter of peace, it is time to discuss some details in detail, such as when the Sandians can settle in "Apayado", the arrangement and utilization of the surrounding areas, and the mode of getting along with the local residents of Sky Island, This is a headache for both parties.
Noah is also very involved in it. This kind of thing is of great learning value. When the forces are integrated in the future, there will definitely be mutual hostility. It’s a good idea to preview and learn here.
The search for the historical text and the trip to Bika will be slow for now, there are only a few days left. It's time to contact Long, ask about the situation, and ask him to find a way to transport the gold.
"Brumulu, Brubru, hey, Noah, (boom~~), what's the matter. (Don't retreat, catch them)"
The full-featured phone bug simulates the expression of a dragon.
"Um, are you fighting over there?"
"It's okay, (a ship has sunk, retreat quickly, the dragon is too strong~~)"
How come this dragon has a way to pretend all the time? I'm speechless, but it doesn't sound like there's much danger.
"I'm on the empty island now and I've got a lot of gold. You can use the life card to locate my location, and then come and take a look and find a way to transport it."
"Well, I'll be there in five days. Wait for me."
After saying that, he hung up.
Phew~ One more thing has been solved. This batch of gold can solve the problem of initial funds for the revolutionary army. Then when the dragon comes and the peace treaty here is almost settled, you can go find the historical text, see the lights of Shantora, and head to Bika.
Chapter 60 Apayado
Kongdao and the Sandians acted much faster than Noah thought, and most of the problems were solved in three days. On the Kongdao side, the participation of ordinary people is not high, and coupled with theocratic rule, the natural gods do whatever they say.
The Sandians were eager to return home. Basically, the whole clan passed the peace treaty that day and started packing. Watching the tribesmen packing their belongings with a smile, Vaipa also silently helped. In the past, a great warrior like him would not have done such a thing.
Finally, three days later, the large Sandian army set off from Yunyin Village, carrying their luggage and heading towards their hometown. At the border, Noah and Robin came here in advance to guard. Although the possibility is very small, there is no shortage of people in this world who are stupid for their own ambitions. Any conflict between Sky Islanders or Sandians at this time will lead to unpredictable consequences.
Even if it was suppressed by Noah's force, the human heart could not be suppressed. This time Noah's intelligence was turned on throughout the whole process, not only to be wary of the Sandians, but also of the people on Sky Island. Finally, the road home has come to an end, and "Apayado" is in sight.
Gan Fore put on formal clothes today, a complex divine dress, and stood in the sanctuary surrounded by divine guards. Outside the sanctuary, residents of Sky Island came to watch the ceremony.
The two groups of people approached each other, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.
Gan Fore walked out of the Divine Guards, and Chief Sandia also left the team and walked out. The two people represented their respective tribes and stood on the dividing line.
There was silence for a while, because both of them didn't know what to say. The communication on the peace treaty had been completed within 3 days. In the end, they simply raised their hands to the sky together.
"Peace has arrived."
"Oh oh oh oh~~~~~."
The arrival of peace made everyone present extremely excited. All kinds of wind shells and fire shells were shooting into the sky with brilliant lights.
Gan Fore left the sanctuary with his divine guards, and the Sandians officially set foot on this dreamed land. Grasping the soil and smelling the smell of their homeland, the Sandians began to revel.
At this time, a little girl from the Sky Island approached curiously. Seeing the Sandians jumping around in the former sanctuary, she really wanted to go.
"Sisi, don't go there, that's the sanctuary." The man who spoke was Paigea, and the little girl was Cornis.
At this time, the chief who heard this sentence glanced at Gan Fore and said something
"It doesn't matter, there is no longer a sanctuary. This place is called Apayado. Come and play if you want."
"Yeah, let's go, it doesn't matter." Gan Fore also spoke.
Konis, who seemed quiet but had more inner courage than anyone else, naturally crossed the line and started playing with the Sandian children. After seeing that the gods agreed, more and more Sky Islanders went to the sacred areas that they had not dared to enter before, and communicated with the Sandians.
This was the first contact between civilians on both sides. There was not so much hostility between the people on both sides. After a while we started chatting together.
The chief is very happy, this is peace. He walked to the corner and looked at the silent warrior.
"Waipa, how do you feel?"
"Good. Maybe not the way I imagined to get peace, but it doesn't feel bad."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"
Looking at this child who was still a bit tough-talking, the chief was very happy. Everything today made him very happy.
"Go ahead, a warrior must not only be able to fight, but also be able to dance. Take out our war dance and show it to those Sky Islanders."
"snort"
Although he snorted coldly, Waipa still walked into the crowd, picked up the red oil paint and painted war patterns on his body, and then used his strong body to provoke a war dance. This dance was so contagious that other Sandians joined in, and eventually many Sky Islanders also participated.
Peace is really worth cherishing.
While everyone was reveling, the chief and Gan Fore found Noah. Noah was eating in a corner at this time, while Robin was writing and drawing something. I asked out of curiosity. I was making folklore records. Well, the real O'Hara scholars were recording, and the pseudo-O'Hara scholars were eating meat.
Seeing the leaders of both sides coming here, Noah wiped his mouth and stood up to greet them. They were all old people, so they should respect the old and love the young. Although he was so fierce when he beat the chief before, this does not prevent Noah from being a good boy.
The three people sat on the ground. Noah was curious as to why they came to him at this time. It turned out that they were discussing when to look for the lights of Shantora.
"There's no hurry about this matter. Shandia needs to settle down first before he can set off with me, right? I have a friend coming over in two days, and when he arrives, we can set off again."
"That's okay too."
After saying that, the chief left. Although he was not young, he also wanted to go to a carnival place to feel some joyful emotions.
"Mr. Noah, the matter of going to Bika through HIGH WEST also has to wait for your friends to come over, right?"
"Well, Mr. Gan Fore, I'm curious, have you had much contact with other Sky Islands over the years? For example, Bika."
"It's not that many. Occasionally, people from other Sky Islands come to us or pass by. Our Sky Island is a large island in the sky. Although I have never been there, I have seen Bika in the records. To the southeast of us is a small sky island with limited resources. The people on this sky island are very unsociable and have always wanted to go to the infinite land. Even the name Bika comes from the legendary infinite land.
That's all I know. If you want to go, I can go with you and help you keep in touch to avoid misunderstandings. "
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Mr. Gan Fore."
Then Gan Fore left and returned to Angel Island, where he also wanted to rebuild his own temple.
