Chapter 226 Mountain Top
A few slight mockery appeared on the faces of the drinkers, but when they saw Harden and others with malicious eyes, they soon hid. Although the bodies in the store were moved out, the blood was still left. Most of the pirates were bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. If Harden, Edmund and others were not as fierce as they had before, and their background in Donghai, they might have been filled with storm and insults after they said something just now. If they dare not fight back, then this situation will definitely become more and more serious, and even the timid people will join the army of mockery.
Unfortunately, Edmund, Harden, or Selkirk are all men with typical pirate fierce personality. They don’t know any strange philosophical principles, but they only know that no matter who makes them unhappy, they will make the other party unable to breathe anymore.
Especially Harden can be called ruthless and murderous. In the East China Sea, even on a great route, he will not change his character.
Although many people in the store, including the owner, think that the legend of the Sky Island is nonsense, no one who dares to laugh at them loudly does.
The boss coughed, covered his smile, and thought he was very fond of exposing the "lie" of Selkirk's legend.
The near Gaya Island where Mogu Town is located, due to the geographical environment, huge currents soaring the sky often appear. Under the pressure, the sea water becomes a column of water that connects the sky and the earth. Many local people believe that it is because the ships that some unlucky guys are riding are rushed to the sky by the currents soaring the sky and fall from a height of thousands of feet, which makes the uninformed people have the idea of an empty island.
After hearing what the boss said, Selkirk frowned, but said nothing.
After the group took a rest in the tavern and got what they wanted and left, Selkirk said to his companions on the way: "The Sky Island should exist. When I entered the Great Way before, I heard someone say that I had seen pirates from the Sky Island."
Edmund said curiously: "I seem to have heard Denpiel talk about this place. Although he has never been to the Great Route, after sorting out the information, he also believes that the Sky Island does not exist. However, why do people here say it is firmly believed that the Sky Island does not exist?"
Edmund doesn't like the clever and always looks down on Danpier, but to be fair, he has to admit that Danpier is one of the most knowledgeable and smartest people he has ever seen. He has also seen Danpier's exaggerated collection of books, so if Danpier thinks that the empty island exists, Edmund also thinks that it is mostly real.
"The great route is not impossible to have a frog in the well." Creek, who was not very familiar with everyone, suddenly said something.
From Donghai, after coming to Great Hang Road, several people who were always sarcastic and provoked by their background laughed.
After laughing, Edmund waved his hand: "Is there an empty island? We will explore it ourselves when we have hot air balloons anyway, so we can go to heaven to see it at any time, but before that, the most important thing is to send the young people from the shipyard to the Seven Water Capital first."
...
While Edmund, Clow and others were fighting on the Great Road, their colleagues who were far away in the East China Sea were having a leisurely gathering.
A mansion in Kalmar City, the gangsters who were just hanging around the rural pier and wandering around the pier have now become the ruling class of the Navian kingdom.
After a long time of separation, Tony, Manny and Anji got together again. In addition to them, there are many cadres from Hongye Village. However, in this house, Tony, Manny and Anji have the highest status.
Tony has been doing public relations and diplomacy in the past two years. With his past experience of wandering on the streets, he has become much more slippery and his relationships have improved. He created such a gathering of fellow villagers to maintain a bond of human nature.
Hongye Village is where William started his career. Although William has always hated his subordinates to engage in mountain doctrine and consciously supported other forces, he has to reward him even if he has made contributions. Hongye Village's manpower and material resources have provided a lot of help in the process of William's rise, and he can't ignore it. In that way, if others don't say it, they may feel a grudge in their hearts.
Currently, there are a lot of cadres from Hongye Village, including William’s diplomatic departments, Sihai Commercial Services, and the Free Trade Zone. If they really want to gather together, they are actually quite powerful.
"Congratulations, boss." Manny came to Tony with a glass of wine, deliberately calling intimately the name they were having sex a few years ago.
Tony smiled reservedly: "If I don't leave the diplomatic department, then in the near future, the position of the Foreign Minister must be mine. Everyone knows that the old noble who is a foreign minister is just a puppet. I was transferred to the Security Bureau. In fact, it is not a big promotion. You don't have to be so happy, but being able to get Clow away is a happy event worth a drink."
As William's subordinate, Clowe's first public appearance was when he made a contribution as a spy and later he had been in charge of intelligence work. It can be said that his name "a hundred tricks" is related to this series of experiences.
The National Security Administration has been established for many years, with many eyes and ears and ears, and is full of informants. When its external positions are stripped out and focused on dealing with domestic intelligence, it seems more focused. It cannot be said that it is well aware of domestic affairs, but any turbulence can be clear.
Logically speaking, some of William's cadres, such as Tony and others, should be happy with this kind of thing, but in fact, they have always been dissatisfied with Clow, who has made the National Security Agency's thriving development.
Because in the face of the National Security Bureau's intelligence collection, many cadres find it difficult to guarantee that they can get out of the matter. Although no one specifically monitors their every move, it is difficult to ensure that they will not be transmitted to William's ears by people from the Security Bureau.
Take the party held by Tony as an example. If Clow was still in charge of the Security Bureau, even if William often practiced in seclusion, focusing on the six styles, return of life, fishman karate and Yixinliu, and compiled the textbook he named "Yuxinliu", Tony would not dare to do this.
Because this movement is definitely not hidden from Clow and his ears, he will eventually be sent to William's ears by these slandered villains.
Clow has always seemed very loyal to William. Of course, his loyalty is different from Ajin. Akin admires William from the bottom of his heart and is loyal to William. A large part of Clow's loyalty lies in his self-knowledge of his own position.
Clow is smart and cunning, but he is different from Crick, who is also smart, cunning and ambitious. He doesn't have that big ambition and wants to be more aware of the current situation.
