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 here.

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 unsolvable problems.

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

The trip to Sky Island itself carries the purpose of letting Leliana learn, such as how to use intelligence to do things, and use the worthless things in your hands to exchange for the same "worthless" things in the eyes of the other party.

Not long after, Cloud Hidden Village, this is the current residence of the Shandians. After nearly four hundred years, they still maintain the living habits of the year.

There is no big change in clothing and housing. 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 the Hidden Cloud Village is a village hidden in the clouds. The Sky Island people usually don't come here. As soon as Oran approached, they were discovered by the Shandians who were on alert outside.

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

"It is normal to maintain alert in this kind of living environment. Don't worry, there will be no fight.

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

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

This name here is much easier than laborious explanation.

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

Soon, 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 surging sea current, Rolando returned here again. After that."

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 true, and in the hearts of the Shandians, Rolando is also a good person.

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

After hearing that Rolando was executed and was also named 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 the land for you, just for a certain reward."

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

At this time, the chief of Shandia was still in his prime, and he also insisted on 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 down their conflicts.

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

But they have a fundamental conflict.

The Shandians believe that this land has been theirs since ancient times, and it must be returned in full.

Gan Fol said that the Island of Gods has become an indispensable part of Sky Island. He does not deny that the people of Sky Island in the past robbed the land of the Shandians, but they are innocent as descendants, 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."

"Sir 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 be used as bombs, but this weapon is still relatively primitive.

Olan's book stores various things, including standard weapons. After seeing the effect of the weapons, an order was successfully reached.

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

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

After having sufficient names, Zack set out alone to collect part of the gold according to the map hand-drawn by the Shandians.

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

Although the purity of this 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 a little 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 Oran 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 Oran had already browsed the devil fruit illustrations.
