Chapter 168: Book of Gold, Fruit of Thunder

"Dad, do you mean that we should make friends with them?"

"That's right. People can make friends with each other, and countries are no exception.

The land of Sky Island is almost independent of the sea, and it is easy to get here from the top of the West Sky by conventional routes. It is very convenient for us to establish contact with this place.

You can regard it as a diplomatic act. You are the princess of Piltover, and you will experience this kind of thing in the future."

There is nothing wrong with Oran's words. It is common for princesses to participate in diplomacy on the sea instead of kings, but Leliana is a little different.

After all, diplomacy is foreign negotiations, and the purpose is to solve problems, but there will always be some problems that cannot be solved.

At that time, Leliana can directly and concisely solve the creator of the problem.

The trip to Sky Island itself was meant for Leliana to learn, such as how to use intelligence to do things, and how to exchange the worthless things in one's hands for the "worthless" things in the eyes of the other party.

Not long after, Cloud Hidden Village, where the Shandians are now stationed, has been nearly four hundred years, and they still maintain the living habits of the past.

There are no major changes in clothing and residences. The only thing that has developed with the times is weapons.

After all, they have never stopped fighting in these years.

"Wait, stop, who are you!"

The meaning of Cloud Hidden Village is a village hidden in the clouds. Sky Island people usually don't come here. As soon as Orlan and his men approached, they were discovered by the Shandians on guard outside.

"Brother Oran, they don't seem very friendly"

"In this kind of living environment, it is normal to maintain vigilance. Don't worry, there will be no fighting.

Don't be nervous! We are travelers from Qinghai! I have heard the story of Rolando and the great warrior Kalgara, and I want to tell you what happened after Rolando!"

To communicate with different people, you have to use different methods. After signaling the bear not to be vigilant, Oran mentioned Rolando's name.

This name here is much easier than laborious explanation.

The Shandia people themselves are still in a relatively simple state. After hearing this, the guards looked at each other, and one of them ran back.

Not long after, the chief of the tribe was brought over.

"Young man, is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true. After Shandora came here because of the rushing sea current, Rolando returned here again, and then."

Olan told the chief of Shandia what happened on the sea without any literary processing or commenting on Rolando's behavior.

At least the friendship between Rolando and Calgara is real, and in the hearts of the Shandians, Rolando is also a good man.

Even if they are told about the bad consequences that have not occurred, no one may believe it, but it will cause the other party's disgust.

After hearing that Rolando was executed and was also crowned as the King of Big Liars, and insisted on the existence of the Golden Country before his death, the Shandians have fallen into grief.

"If we can ring the Golden Bell earlier."

This incident seems to have stimulated the Shandians, and they have become more determined to take back their land.

"I can ring the Golden Bell for you, or take back that land for you, and it only takes a certain amount of reward."

"No, this is the Shandians' own business. We are very grateful that you came all the way from Qinghai to tell us this news, which is enough."

At this time, the chief of Shandia was still in his prime, and he also had a persistence in taking back the land.

In fact, if it weren't for the common crisis brought by Enel's desire to destroy Sky Island, it would not be so easy for the people of Sky Island and Shandia to put aside their conflicts.

Today, the chief of Shandia and Gan Fol of Sky Island are both relatively peace advocates, and this is the closest time for both sides to peace in hundreds of years.

But they have fundamental conflicts.

The Shandians believe that this land has been theirs since ancient times, and they must return it all.

Gan Fol said that the Island of Gods has become an indispensable part of Sky Island. He does not deny that the Sky Islanders in the past robbed the Shandians of their land, but as descendants, they are innocent, and it is not okay to take land from innocent people.

"Your goal must also be gold. The Shandians will not forget their kindness. The news you brought to us is very important.

When we get our land back, we will give you a satisfactory reward."

"Mr. Chief, this is a blank check, but it doesn't matter. This sentence is enough. Then a new question, do you want stronger weapons?"

The source of Shandian weapons is the application of Sky Island shells. Flame shells that store flames are used to make flamethrowers. Wind shells that store natural gas can also serve as bombs, but this weapon is still relatively primitive.

Orlan's book contains various things, including standard weapons. After seeing the effect of the weapons, he successfully reached an order.

Although the gold for paying the bill needs to be picked up by Orlan himself, or delivered after the Shandians take back the land.

The promise of the Shandians has no practical significance, but it can occupy the "great justice" and have a reason to intervene in the Sky Island in the future.

After having enough money, Zack set out alone to collect some gold according to the map drawn by the Shandians.

When Zack returned, he rolled, his whole body was shining with gold, and inside his body was a golden sphere with a diameter of nearly three meters.

Although the purity of the gold needs to be verified, this volume of gold is enough for a while.

After that, Orlan and his friends went to Bika, another sky island in this airspace, which is also the hometown of Enel.

Compared with Angel Island, Bika is obviously poorer. Although there are more specialty fruits, Ginny and Bear don’t understand why Orlan also made a special trip here.

"Brother Orlan, is there anything here?"

"Maybe there is, maybe not, I just came here to see it by luck. Well, now I found it."

What attracts Leliana and Ginny the most?

The answer is food.

Bika specializes in a kind of sky apple. This apple cultivated through the island cloud has a special taste and a special fluffy taste.

After tasting them, Ginny and Leliana stocked up on the side, waiting for Orlan to plan the next route. However, among the pile of apples, a golden fruit with lightning patterns unexpectedly rolled out.

Even if you haven't seen the devil fruit illustrations, you can guess that this is the thunder fruit from the lightning-like stems and leaves, not to mention that Orlan had already browsed the devil fruit illustrations.
