Hearing the word immortality, Gawain immediately thought of the plot related to the fat Nelson.
So, he immediately wanted Nelson to get out.
However, looking around, everyone is very interested in the topic of immortality.
Seeing this, he thought it was a time for everyone to listen to the story. Gawain gave Nelson about five minutes of narration time.
After five minutes, everyone probably understood the story from Nelson's mouth.
Legend has it that there is a group of mythical animals, the Millennium Dragon, in the East China Sea near Battleship Island.
The reason why this type of dragon is called a thousand-year dragon is not because they can live for a thousand years, but because they appear in large numbers every thousand years.
Of course, this is just a legend, because it only appears once in a thousand years, and the World Government has only appeared for 800 years. Even the Five Old Stars and others have not seen the Thousand-Year Dragon once. Of course, it is a legend.
Since this kind of dragon appears only once in a thousand years, people's lifespan is naturally immeasurable.
In short, according to legend, the keel of this thousand-year-old dragon is said to have the effect of immortality.
The admiral of the East China Sea Navy named Nelson in front of Gawain is a supporter of this legend. He believes in the legend of the Thousand-Year Dragon and believes that he has found clues to the Thousand-Year Dragon!
At this moment, Nelson was kneeling beside Gawain and said to Gawain with a flattering face.
"Sheng Gao Wen, everything I said is traceable. The Thousand-Year Dragon is not just a legend. The secret of immortality is true!
I am willing to hand over to you all the records that I have searched for twenty years, and I am willing to share the secret of immortality with you!
The only thing I want to plead with you is that I hope you can give me a little bit of bone after you live forever.
Do you see...?"
Nelson raised his head and looked at Gawain expectantly. In his opinion, Gawain would never give up the idea of immortality.
And once I cooperate with the Celestial Dragons and have the help of the Celestial Dragons' powerful subordinates, the secret of the Millennium Dragon will definitely be revealed!
As for whether Gawain would reward him with the dragon bone, Nelson didn't care at all.
Nelson has been pursuing the legend of the Thousand-Year Dragon for twenty years. Now, Nelson has much less desire for immortality.
To a large extent, Nelson wanted to see the Millennium Dragon with his own eyes.
He just wants to prove that the Thousand-Year Dragon is not his fantasy, but a real thing, and his past twenty years have not been wasted!
With such thoughts in mind, Nelson's eyes were full of longing, and he boldly looked into Gawain's eyes.
But in his eyes, Gawain's eyes didn't have any fire, but indifference.
Gawain was seen thinking for a moment, then he looked at Zefa, curled his lips and waved his hand.
"Old Master Zefa, is this the quality of the East China Sea Navy?
If I remember correctly, the position of Admiral of the East China Sea Navy has the responsibility of supervising all the East China Sea Navy branches on a mobile basis, right?"
After the words fell, Gawain lightly hooked his fingers, and Rob Lucci immediately came behind Gawain.
At the same time, Gawain looked at Nelson and said expressionlessly.
"Admiral Nelson Roy, right?
I would like to ask, as the admiral of Donghai, what are your responsibilities?"
"I……."
Nelson was stunned. His instinct as an official for many years told him that things seemed to be getting a little bigger...
Gawain on the side did not wait for Nelson to reply. He lit a cigarette and continued to speak to Nelson with a smile.
"Forget it, I won't ask about your responsibilities, because your responsibilities can never be what you have been doing in the past and now.
Tsk tsk, Warring States Period also feels helpless sometimes, right?
His men, his soldiers, his ships, and his funds were all misused.
You can search for the secret of the Millennium Dragon, but you must know that all the power you use to find this secret is not your power, but the power of the navy, right?"
Having said this, Gawain blew out a smoke ring. When the smoke hit Nelson's face, Gawain chuckled and continued.
"So, Nelson.
Who gave you the qualification to do this?
And what qualifications do you have to use the power of the navy to do what you want to do?"
Gawain took two steps forward and raised his right hand towards Nelson.
After a moment, a big hand made of thunder grabbed Nelson's head.
Holding Nelson's fat head, Gawain continued to speak softly.
"Nilson.
What qualifications does a guy like you have to seek the secret of immortality? Are you worthy of immortality?
As for me, haha, do you think I will lack similar secrets?"
After saying that, Gawain let go of Nelson's head, and then waved his hand to Lu Qi behind him.
"Lucci, let's clean it up. Since Zefa, his old friend from the Warring States Period, and Gion, his expected descendant, are all mine now.
In view of this, let us help the Warring States Period clean up the corrupt atmosphere in the East China Sea Navy.
The navy's money all came from Mary Joa's allocation. As a result, all the money from the Tianlong people was used by guys like Nelson in the East China Sea for such unprofessional purposes.
Haha, this is not only sorry for the civilians in Donghai who have been paying heavenly gold, but also sorry for those five old stars who have been allocating heavenly gold to support the construction of the navy, right?
Wulao Xing, with such a group of subordinates, I am afraid it will be difficult for my elders to do anything~"
As he spoke, Gawain looked past Nelson, who had a dull look on his face.
He and his cadres all passed by Nelson, but no one wanted to look at Nelson.
Only Rob Luqi and Shiliu stayed at the end. After Gawain led the cadres away, they stood next to Nelson with a sneer.
And Nelson.
When the air-conditioning on Lu Qi's body made him shiver, he vaguely heard the last conversation of Gawain's group.
Vaguely, Nelson seemed to hear a sentence...
"Longevity, haha, no serious person wants to live forever?"
"Are you begging?"
"I don't beg!"
"How can anyone in history who seeks immortality be a serious person?"
"In other words, before you want to live forever, people are serious people, but if you want to live forever, people are not serious, haha!"
…
Seven days later, outside the orange grove in Cocosia Village, Ouikot Kingdom in the East China Sea.
The village policeman of Cocosia Village, Ajian, whose face was covered with scars, rang the bell in the orange grove.
Not long after, the sound of high heels stepping on the ground gradually approached, and Nuoqi, who had medium-long blue hair, walked towards Ajian with a high smile.
"Uncle Jian?"
Nuo Qi said hello to Ajian from a distance. At the same time, she also used her fingers that were slightly stained with soil to brush the hair beside her ears and temples to make her hair neater.
Outside the orange orchard, looking at the graceful Nuo Qigao, Ajian pursed his lips with emotion.
This girl whom I regard as my daughter has finally grown up...
Alas, what a pity.
If Nami hadn't hooked up with Aaron's group of people, if Nami could have stayed in the orange grove and grown up with Nokigao.
Then even Bellemere's soul in heaven would be happy for Nami...
Thinking of this, Jian took a deep breath. He missed that weird little thief more and more.
Who told him that he had already regarded that little thief as his little daughter?
I carry a thick wallet with me, and I only hope to see her once and have her steal it again...
On the side, noticing Ajian's absence, Nokigao seemed to have thought of something.
So she pushed open the door of the orange garden and whispered to Ajian.
"Uncle Jian, come in and sit down. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it after a cup of hot tea. How about that?"
Moreover, Nami secretly called me last night, and she will secretly come back tonight~"
"Why?"
Hearing the news, Ajian was obviously a little shocked, and he asked Nokigao in surprise.
"What a coincidence, will Nami come back tonight?
Wait, Nokigao, how could such a coincidence happen in the world? Does Nami also know the news?"
After the words fell, Ajian looked at Noqigao with some worry. Faced with Ajian's worried eyes, Noqigao nodded slightly.
"Well, Uncle Jian, she knows, she came back just for this matter.
Anyway, come in and talk, Uncle Jian~."
While talking, Nuo Qigao led Ajian through the orange grove and came to the house left by Bellemeier.
Entering the house, Jian noticed that the style here had not changed even after several years.
Nozhigao is a very serious girl. Although she is young, she still manages the orange garden and the house in an orderly manner.
Therefore, in addition to the remaining things from Bellemere's time, the house at this time also has many cute decorations with a little girl flavor.
Of course, in some corners of the house, there are still some jewel-like things...
After inspecting the house, Ajian sat down on a chair with emotion. Next to him, Noqigao brought him a pot of tea.
While he was pouring tea for Uncle Ajian, Nokigao asked softly.
"So, Uncle Jian, have you also received news that the Tianlong people are about to pass by Cocosia Village?
When Nami called last night, she was really worried. She planned to take me and everyone together and run into the mountains to hide.
Nami is very worried about the money she hid in the orange grove. If she can avoid the Celestial Dragons, she might save a lot of money, right?"
"Why?"
Ajian was startled when he heard Nuo Qigao's words, and he quickly shook his head.
"How can we do it? If we hide, once the Tianlong people are dissatisfied, we will be dead even if we hide in the ends of the earth!
The reason why I came here was because of another thing. The group of murlocs in Dragon Park found me and told me something.
They said that they can settle the Draconians for us, but we must pay double the protection fee this year.
That’s two hundred thousand beli for an adult and one hundred thousand for a child!
However, the people in the village cannot afford this money at all, so I wanted to come over and discuss with you whether there are any other ways..."
"ha?!!"
Nokigao was startled by Ajian's words, and she immediately frowned.
"How can it be?"
After questioning in disbelief, Nuo Qigao pressed his hands on the table and said to Ajian seriously.
"Uncle Jian, you must have been deceived, how could those damn fishmen have such ability!
How could the Tianlong people pass by and be solved by them? They don't have this ability at all!
Uncle Jian, please calm down!"
"But……."
Listening to Nuo Qigao's scolding, Ajian was like an old father who was scolded by his grown-up daughter, and he lowered his head sadly.
He continued sadly.
"But, that group of fishmen said that there is also an important cadre of the Tianlong people who is a fishman!
Moreover, Jinbei, the fish-man in the Shichibukai, is also an old friend of Dragon, the boss of their Dragon Pirates!
In short, what those group of murlocs meant was that they could establish a relationship with the murlocs around the Celestial Dragons and get that murloc Shichibukai to speak and intercede on our behalf.
Anyway…”
"No way!!!"
Before Jian could finish speaking, Noqigao quickly interrupted Jian. He slapped the table hard and then yelled at Jian.
"Uncle Jian, do we need the help of those fishmen to plead for mercy? We are civilians, and those damn fishmen are pirates!!!
I've read the newspaper. That Celestial Dragon is very cruel to pirates. It's not us who need to worry, but the damn Dragon Pirates!
I also hope that when the Tianlong people arrive, they can eradicate those damn pirates. Among them are the navy's admiral candidates and the vice-captain of the Pirate King. Such a lineup will definitely be able to fight against the Dragon Pirates.
!
Besides, the villagers don’t have any more money, so they should pay double the protection fees this year!!!”
After yelling, Nuo Qi Gao smashed the table in displeasure.
"In short, don't listen to those fish-man pirates. Compared with them, I trust the Celestial Dragons more!"
"But, Nuo Qigao, you are still young, and you have never seen a real Tianlong!!!"
At this moment, faced with Nuo Qigao's plan, Ajian finally spoke.
He said extremely seriously.
"Yes, since the Dragon Pirates stationed on our island five years ago, we have indeed suffered a lot from that group of fishmen.
But no matter what, they have only harmed us for five years.
Compared with them, when I was young, I once experienced the transit of the Celestial Dragons!
The evil dragons are killing people, and they still want us to pay. If we don't pay, we will kill them.
But the Tianlong people I met when I was a child, when he came to our island, he directly used us as targets for fun!
That time, the Celestial Dragon killed many children. He called us children puppies. He made us flee in all directions, and then competed with his subordinates in marksmanship.
I was in that game at the time, and I managed to survive after escaping for a long time. There were only six or seven children like me who survived!!!"
Speaking of this, Ajian's face became more and more painful. He always felt that fate always picked on the poor to bully the poor.
He originally thought that the Tianlong killing game he experienced as a child was the most painful experience in the world.
But after that, the dragon came and Bellemere died...
At that time, he thought that the arrival of the Dragon Pirates would be the most painful thing in his life.
As a result, now, the Tianlong people are here again!!!
For a moment, Ajian almost wanted to die...
At the same time, across the table, Nokki Gao opened his mouth in disbelief after listening to Ajian's words.
"How...how could this happen?"
At this moment, Nuo Qigao really felt like she was about to collapse.
"How could Tianlong be like this? Didn't the newspaper say...didn't it say he was a very kind person?
He is very handsome and has a good temperament, and there is a photo of him holding a child in the newspaper, and he looks very gentle.
But...but..."
Having said this, Nuo Qigao lowered her head sadly. Compared with the newspaper, she was more willing to believe in Ajian, who had taken care of her when she grew up.
On the side, seeing Nuo Qigao's disappointed look, Ajian sighed leisurely.
He knew that since the news about Tianlong Gao Wensheng appeared in the newspaper, Noqi Gao had found his idol.
Nokigao has always been fond of Gawain, who has a high position, is powerful, is willing to fight against the Four Pirate Emperors, and also has a gentle smile.
But Ajian knows very well what the Tianlong people look like, that is, they are a group of devils.
As for the gentle smile on Gawain's face, it is just a devil that is hidden deeper than ordinary devils!
Thinking of this, Ajian was about to speak immediately, and he planned to emphasize something to Nuoqi again.
But just before he spoke, the sound of a bell suddenly came from Bellemere's house.
Ajian instinctively looked out the window and saw someone coming outside the orange orchard again.
Thinking of what Nuo Qigao said before, Ajian asked in surprise.
"Someone is coming, could it be Nami?
Haha, I haven’t seen this girl for a long time~.”
As he spoke, Ajian looked at Nuo Qigao expectantly, but the Nuo Qigao he saw had an extremely nervous look in his eyes.
I saw Nuo Qigao saying worriedly.
"It can't be Nami's, that girl never takes the main entrance.
Uncle Jian, please sit in the room for a while, I'll go out and take a look.
It should be other villagers who know the news..."
After saying that, Nuo Qigao opened the door and walked out of the orange grove with a frown.
But when she came to the door of the orange grove, when she saw the figure outside the door who was smiling and shaking the bell.
Her whole body seemed to be petrified, completely stagnant there!
As for outside the door, when Gawain and his accompanying Yixiao saw Nuo Qigao, he narrowed his eyes, smiled and waved to Nuo Qigao.
"Hello, I am a traveler passing through Cocosia Village. My name is Gawain.
Excuse me, can I buy some orange trees...hey?!!"
Having said this, Gawain couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Beside him, he smiled and said helplessly.
"Sir, it seems you have been recognized. This girl fainted..."
"You must have been recognized. Your features are obviously more obvious..."
Gawain responded angrily, then he turned into lightning and rushed to Nokigao's side, gently taking Nokigao's limp body into his arms.
Gawain glanced at the girl in his arms and let out a depressed breath.
