Pirate: I'm just slacking off, do you really think I'm a noob?

Rory and Enelu stopped here and waited for the Shandian who kept his word to appear. At this time, the person who was just called the leader slowly walked out from the back of the crowd.

He is the leader of the Shandian people. He is wearing ancient Shandian costumes and various bone ornaments, which makes him look strangely beautiful!

Judging from their ages alone, Raleigh felt that the leader of the Shandians might not be much younger than Ganfor.

When everyone saw the leader stand up, they focused all their attention on him.

What are you doing, strangers?

The leader asked calmly.

Rory and Enelu slowly walked towards the leader, saying as they walked:

"I guess I was asked to do so. A big shot on Sky Island said he wanted to communicate with you through me."

"But don't worry, I only agreed to pass on the information to him, and I won't be involved in anything else.

Looking at the two people walking towards them step by step, the villagers were a little worried.

Although this was his own village, and he was surrounded by his fellow tribesmen with whom he lived day and night, there were only two people opposite him, including a half-grown child.

But the atmosphere now is as strange as if two people surrounded the entire village.

Maybe the young man walking in the middle put too much pressure on people.

I know you may not believe me, but I really don’t have any thoughts about you, otherwise you would have been defeated by me by now.”

Although Raleigh's words sounded a bit rude, surprisingly, no one present refuted Raleigh by default.

"My friends from out of town, I'm sorry, but we have a mortal enemy, so everyone who comes to visit us must be investigated."

When the leader saw that Raleigh and the others had no intention of taking action, he relaxed.

Raleigh shrugged his shoulders and said,

Do you know the story of Nolando?

After hearing the three words "Nolando" coming out of Raleigh's mouth, everyone present opened their mouths in shock.

How do you know - what did that fellow Ganfort tell you?

The chief seemed genuinely shocked and said what he had known for a long time.

How did he know Nolando?

That guy Ganfor actually knew about our contact with Nolando?

“Now we can’t let these two go, we have to keep them here.

When everyone heard Raleigh say the name Nolando, they started talking like crazy.

However, the leader was the leader after all, and after realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he did not have any other negative emotions. Instead, he turned around and asked again!

Now that you know this, I want to ask you, what do you want from us?"

The leader's words were very straightforward, the meaning was very clear, and the threats around them were also very clear.

If there was something wrong with Raleigh's answer, the people around him would raise their muskets and start fighting with Raleigh.

Raleigh took out a cigar from his pocket, put it in his mouth and lit it, then took a deep breath and said:

"This matter was not initially caused by Ganfor of Sky Island, but was discovered by me when I was in the Grand Line, which is what you call Qinghai."

The golden city of Shandora, which existed for hundreds of years, is located in that sea area. However, since Nolando brought the information back to the North Sea, four hundred years have passed and no one has discovered Shandora. If you think about it carefully, it is incredible. "

Near Gaya Island, I met a child who claimed that he was a descendant of the Nolando family, and his generations had been struggling to find the Shandora that Nolando mentioned.

After research, we believe that it is very likely that one day four hundred years ago, there was a huge upwelling current at the bottom of Jiaye Island, which washed part of Jiaye Island into the White Sea. "

This part is the island where Shandora is located. If I am not mistaken, then Shandora should be the current God's Island Apayardo, and you Shandia people are the ones who were brought to the White Sea. "

"If you still don't believe it, then I can take you to find the descendants of Nolando on my ship to verify this matter."

After listening to this, the leader shook his head slightly and said;

According to the records in ancient books, our ancestors lived in Qinghai many years ago, but suddenly one day, the earth shook and the surrounding environment changed dramatically. "

"When everything calmed down, our ancestors realized they had arrived in an unfamiliar environment: the White Sea."

Furthermore, the land of our ancestors was so vast and fertile that the residents of the Sky Island became jealous and, under the leadership of their gods, drove our ancestors out.

We Shandia people dream of returning to live on Shandora again."

After listening to this, Rowley nodded seriously, then took out a very old notebook from his arms. From the appearance, it was obvious that it had been carefully cared for by many generations of owners, otherwise it would have been broken long ago.

This is Nolando's notebook, recording his travels around the world.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the descendants of the great warrior Kalgara."

The leader nodded seriously and said;

Yes, our ancestor was Kalgara, the most powerful warrior among the Shandians who had fought with Nolando before."

The leader carefully took the notebook that Rory handed over, as if he was holding a fragile crystal.

At the same time, the leader issued instructions to the people around him:

Those who have nothing to do can go away, others can go about their business, and those who have nothing to do can bring out our best things to entertain the guests. "

After the misunderstanding was resolved and they knew that Raleigh did not come for Ganfor, the Shandia people showed great enthusiasm.

At the dinner table, many Shandia people came to Raleigh to toast him, saying that they had never seen people from Qinghai and wanted to toast the guests from afar. Raleigh picked up the full wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Well, Mr. Rowley is a really generous man.

Mr. Raleigh's drinking was really amazing.

"Mr. Rowley, you've had a drink with him, it's my turn."

The scene gradually reached its climax amid the mutual toasts. The talented Sandi people sang their folk songs and performed bonfire dances.

Raleigh looked at the expressions of the Sandi industry people in the field with a smile until late at night!

At two o'clock in the morning, Luo Li had not yet gone to bed, but now there were two figures in front of him.

One of them is about the leader of the Shandian people, whose name is Kroning Jim, and everyone usually calls him Uncle Jim.

The other one was someone that Raleigh had not seen during the day, but he said that he was the most powerful warrior among the Shandians and a pure-blooded descendant of the great warrior Kalgara.

The leader spoke first:

Mr. Rowley, I don't think the purpose of your action is just to confirm the facts of Nolando and Shandora.

'I know that Ganfor has looked for you. I wonder if you can tell us too.'

Luo Li nodded and said happily:

"Ganfor did come to me. He wanted to know if we could reach a reconciliation and end the four hundred years of war between the two races."

The young man next to the leader's face suddenly changed when he heard this.

Then he became a little emotional and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the leader's eyes.

The leader looked at Raleigh in front of him, his expression seeming to be thinking about something.

“Dear Navy gentleman, is this what you mean?”

Raleigh shrugged his shoulders, looked at the leader indifferently and said;

As I said at the outset, I have no role in this matter and whether you accept peace or maintain the status quo is none of my business."

"It's just that Ganfor promised me something, so I'm willing to be his messenger."

But I won't give you any suggestions, all the decisions are in your hands.

After hearing what Raleigh said, the leader was somewhat moved.

"Abba, how can we make peace just by his words?!"

Have you forgotten? In the past four hundred years, how many of our people died at their hands? Your brother, my uncle, and my best friend Bartlet all died at the hands of the Sky Islanders.

They took away the land where our ancestors lived for generations, and they killed our relatives. Now they think that a simple reconciliation can offset the hatred between us. I don't agree!"

The young man, who was already very excited just now, finally couldn't help but explode. What he could not accept the most was to shake hands and make peace with his enemy.

The leader became angry and slapped his son.

Snapped!

"Shut up, Alan!"

I know you are very unwilling in your heart, and I have experienced the same feelings as you, but we really need to think about this matter. "

The leader's expression was heavy but also a little embarrassed.

Raleigh didn't care about the quarrel between the father and son, but picked up the fruit on the table and started eating.

After a while, the leader reprimanded his son, then turned to Luo Li and continued:

"I'm sorry, Admiral, I made you laugh."

Raleigh waved his hand and said:

"It's okay. This is your internal matter. I have no right to interfere, and I won't interfere at all."

But to be honest, this is indeed a very complicated matter. For four hundred years,

You’ve been through so much.”

"Brothers died at the hands of the other side, but many people on the other side also died at your hands."

Um, you guys can decide for yourself. I will stay here for three days, I hope you can figure it out as soon as possible.

'Oh, yes. I once saw the Lamp of Shandora mentioned by Nolando on top of the giant vines in Arpaiado.'

Raleigh looked very relaxed, and calmly told the two Shandians in front of him the information he had learned.

For matters like this that affect a race, only they can decide for themselves."

No one could make a decision for them. Then, Raleigh picked up the rum in front of him and drank it all. Then he wiped his mouth gracefully and left the banquet.

Tonight is destined to be a night when many people cannot sleep, and it is also a night that changes the fate of many people.

Dad, why do you want to reconcile with the Sky Islanders? Have you forgotten the deep blood feud between us? '

After Rowley left, the father and son returned to their residence. Alan, who was slapped, couldn't help but ask. Of course, he didn't understand at all, so he asked as soon as he got home.

Claire looked at her immature son with grief and helplessness.

With a sad tone, he said, "Come with me, I will tell you why."

Claire took Alan into a secret basement. This basement had a long corridor, with bluestone bricks on both sides.

Claire turned the mechanism on the wall, and lights lit up one after another, then extended into the distance.

"Father, what is this?"

Alan couldn't help but ask, he had never been to this mysterious basement.

"These are portraits of our ancestors who died heroically in battle against the Sky Islanders."

Claire said to Alan as she walked.

'Almost from the moment we arrived at Sky Island, our ancestors have been fighting with the enemies of Sky Island. Both they and us have suffered losses.

"This is a four hundred year history. In this long history, we have lost so much."

Allen, who had just seen these portraits, felt that the ancestors hanging on the wall were all worthy of respect.

You are my son and the one who is most likely to take over as the next leader of the tribe, so I should bring you here to see our history.

Although the corridor leading to the basement is long, it eventually reaches the end, which is a small room!

Everything inside seemed very simple, with a stone bed, a stone table, a stone bench and other simple furniture. The only thing that was not simple was the few magnificent items on the stone table.

These are the gold ornaments that our ancestors brought out from Shandora. They only had time to bring back one or two pieces, and most of them are still sleeping in Shandora.

“The purpose of bringing you here is to let you know that what we Shandia people have always insisted on is struggle. As the leader, my philosophy is that meaningless war is not as good as meaningful reconciliation.

"I am very tempted by the conditions proposed by the navy, so I plan to have a good talk with Ganfor.

If we can resolve the issue of peace between us, then we will no longer have to worry about our people dying in pointless conflicts."
