Chapter 55: The Masked Man Appears
Finally, after a fierce competition, each force snatched the corresponding water of life.
Among them, the one who gained the most was not the army that rushed all the way, nor the Crusaders who cooperated closely, nor the Hill Chamber of Commerce with a large number of people. It can only be said that the result was very unexpected.
The one who took the most water of life was a masked man who suddenly appeared, yes, a masked man.
It was the masked man who had fought with Moria. There was a mark on his clothes on his chest, which was left by the slash of the Navy Vice Admiral.
I have to say that this can only be regarded as luck, really luck, sometimes things are so incredible.
Everyone who came here, except Moria who didn't know about the water of life, and some pirates who fooled here. Whether it is the Hill Chamber of Commerce, the underground forces, or the Crusaders, they all know something about the immortal surgery. As for the World Government, let alone.
So everyone came prepared. The bottles used to hold the water of life are not like Moria, who just took a glass bottle. It was a special container, not only very strong, but also able to prevent the loss of the efficacy of the Water of Life.
But in this big melee, everyone wanted to collect more Water of Life, so in order to be able to collect more, they fought against all forces except themselves and prevented them from collecting the Water of Life.
Therefore, often when the container was opened to collect a few drops of Water of Life, the attacks of other forces came and they had to stop collecting the Water of Life.
A container can hold 500 drops of Water of Life, but unfortunately, there are not so many here. And in the big melee, as soon as you start collecting the Water of Life, all the attacks around you will come. A container often only collected a few drops and was forced to stop collecting. Those who collected more only collected a dozen drops of Water of Life. Even some people were attacked as soon as they took out the container.
So, for a while, in this big melee, containers filled with Water of Life and those without Water of Life were flying all over the sky.
In order to rob the Water of Life this time, everyone had at least one collection container, and the Hill Chamber of Commerce was even richer, with at least five containers for each person. Since the container was originally translucent, and the amount of Water of Life collected was small, if you didn't hold it in your hand and observe carefully, you wouldn't know which one contained the Water of Life and which one didn't.
When all the Water of Life was collected, the people present fell into an awkward situation. There were only a few containers containing the Water of Life, but can you tell me which of these thousands of containers contained the Water of Life?
Everyone present cast murderous eyes at the Hill Chamber of Commerce.
It was simply a troublemaker.
The Hill Chamber of Commerce knew that it was unlikely to collect the Water of Life, and even if it could, the amount would definitely be the least.
So, the Hill Chamber of Commerce came up with a solution. Although we can't grab much Water of Life, we can grab what you have collected. After all, there is only a little Water of Life, and in this big melee, the collection time is just a moment, and there is definitely no way to collect a lot of Water of Life in each container.
Then, the Hill Chamber of Commerce prepared a lot of containers for collecting the Water of Life, and even put a few drops of light blue liquid in them to act as the Water of Life. As long as you don't open it, you have no way to tell from the appearance whether it is the Water of Life or not?
Therefore, in order to compete for the Water of Life, the people of the Hill Chamber of Commerce began to scatter containers and distribute them. Among them, the collection containers in the hands of underground forces and pirates were all obtained from the Hill Chamber of Commerce. At first, everyone thought that there were some monitors or something like that, but after checking, there was no problem, and it was free, so don't miss it.
Moreover, the containers made by the Hill Chamber of Commerce are exactly the same as those of the World Government. As for the Crusaders, the containers they collected were also bought from the market, but only the Hill Chamber of Commerce met this requirement on the market.
So, in summary, the Hill Chamber of Commerce has been deliberate and spent a lot of money for the competition for the Water of Life this time. You should know that for a container like this, the materials alone cost 100,000 Baileys, and this does not include the manufacturing process.
So, under the guise of fishing in troubled waters, Hill Chamber of Commerce successfully obtained 15 drops of water of life by this method.
However, in order to prevent people from seeing the flaws, Hill Chamber of Commerce did not mark the containers specially, so Hill Chamber of Commerce itself did not know which ones contained the water of life, which ones were empty, and which ones were fake.
Although they wanted to kill all the people in the Hill Chamber of Commerce, reason told everyone here that now was not the time to retaliate against the Hill Chamber of Commerce. The most important thing was to find the water of life.
So, for a while, these masters on the sea started a treasure hunt.
One by one, they patiently picked up the containers in front of them to check, but there was none, and this one was not. Someone found a container with the water of life and laughed, which instantly attracted the siege of the people around him. After another fierce fight, the strong won, but when they opened it, there was no fluctuation of life energy at all, and this one was fake again.
In this treasure hunt, it is the Hill Chamber of Commerce with a large number of people that has the upper hand. Although the Navy, Army, CP Organization, underground forces, and Crusaders were the first to collect the Water of Life, and although most of them were kept in their own hands, there were also many containers of Water of Life that were separated in the melee and mixed in with many containers.
Doing so is of great benefit to the relatively weak Hill Chamber of Commerce. Similarly, the weakest party here, the pirates, can also take the opportunity to pick up leaks. There are always a few lucky people who find a few drops of Water of Life.
As for the masked man who fought with Moria before, he was the lucky one among the lucky ones. He just came here and found three containers of Water of Life, one of which contained 15 drops of Water of Life, and the other two, which contained 7 and 8 drops of Water of Life respectively, adding up to 30 drops of Water of Life.
I don't know what to say. You know, the army, which got the most after all the hard work, only had 28 drops of water of life in total.
This is simply the possession of the emperor of Europe. If other people knew about this, they would definitely be shocked.
After the masked man got the 30 drops of water of life, he did not stay any longer and turned around and left.
But this move still attracted the attention of those who were interested. Others were still looking for the water of life, but the masked man turned around and left, holding a container of water of life. The only explanation was that he had the water of life on him.
Seeing this, many people chased after him and were about to catch up, but after a puff of smoke, the masked man disappeared again.
