That night, a huge bonfire was lit along the coast of the island, and the banquet to celebrate the new life began.
The ship that Ian and the others snatched was originally an armed merchant ship, and there were a lot of food and drinks in the cargo warehouse. In addition, during the few days of docking here, some slaves who were capable of fighting went into the sea to hunt and kill some sea beasts. It is used as food, so even if there are a lot of people now, there is enough food.
Around the bonfire, people held wine glasses in their hands, but regardless of race or gender, they hugged each other, singing and dancing, and crying bitterly.
In fact, this banquet should have been held a long time ago. It was only because Ian didn't wake up that it was delayed until now. After holding back for three days, people's emotions burst out suddenly. One can imagine what kind of banquet it will be like. scenario.
There were more than 500 slaves who were rescued from Marie Gioia. However, some of them were caught by the navy while escaping, and some died when the ship slipped down the red earth continent. They are still alive today. Here, there are only more than four hundred and twenty people left.
People weep bitterly because of the suffering they have suffered, and laugh because they celebrate this hard-won freedom.
Ian was holding a large wooden wine glass, and while drinking, he looked at these celebrating people quietly. Even if he had no real experience of being a slave, Ian could feel the feeling of their freedom after they were freed. joy.
"Benefactor, we respect you!"
Another group of people came up to toast Ian, among them was a child!
Yes, among the group of slaves rescued by Ian, there are indeed several children. There is no law on the protection of minors in this world, and the Tianlong people choose slaves, and they never look at their age. The child that An toasted was only about twelve years old, but Ian could see many criss-crossing scars on his exposed skin.
Sighing, Ian didn't care about whether the child could drink or not. He bumped the glass with the child and asked him, "Are there any relatives?"
"No more..." The child pursed his mouth, tears flowed from his eyes, and said, "My mother was shot dead by Tianlong people to protect me..."
Yi An felt a panic in his heart. He realized that he had inadvertently brought up this child's painful memories, and he wished he could slap himself.
At this moment, a big hand suddenly stroked the child's head. Ian turned his head and saw that it was sitting beside him, the tall giant Sardin. He lowered his head and said to the child. : "Okay, don't cry. Your mother protects you to let you live better. In the future, you will become a strong fighter and avenge your mother!"
"Yeah!" The child bit his lip and nodded in response.
Ian found that this method was quite effective for this child, so he raised his head, raised his wine glass, and gestured towards Sardin.
When we came down from the Red Earth Continent, it was thanks to Sardin. If he hadn't been strong enough to take the lead in dragging the boat up, everyone would have been trapped in place.
Sardin laughed, picked up his larger wine glass... or the barrel, and bumped into Ian hard, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
The people around were also the same as Saldin, and they raised their heads to dry up the wine in the glass, even the kid did the same, but it might be the first time he drank, and he was actually choked, which made everyone laugh out loud.
After drinking a glass of wine, the child became a little dizzy, wiped away his tears, and asked curiously: "Senpai, can we know your name? Also, why do you keep covering your face?"
As soon as this question was asked, a big man next to him hurriedly pulled at the child, a little blaming him for asking this question.
"Shut up!" the big man said: "The benefactor must have his reasons for doing this."
Ian waved his hand, stopped him, and said: "Actually, it's okay to tell you guys. The reason why I kept wearing a veil is because I killed a Celestial Dragon this time, or two? I'm not too sure..."
As a result, before the words were finished, the scene suddenly fell into a strange silence. Even the singing and dancing people stopped and looked at Ian and the others.
Everyone looked at Ian in shock, and gradually, many people's bodies began to tremble.
Ian saw this scene in his eyes, and couldn't help but sighed inwardly. He knew that if such a thing was said, it might arouse the fear of the slaves...
However, what Ian didn't expect at all was that the next second, there was a loud cheer!
Everyone raised their hands high, wantonly venting their emotions, even Sardin, raised his head and roared towards the sky.
"Dead! Those damn Tianlongren, some of them are finally dead!"
"marvelous!"
"Retribution! They finally received retribution!"
"That's more news to celebrate than freedom! Cheers!"
"cheers!!!"
The people present raised their glasses excitedly, pointed their heads up to the sky, and then drank the wine in unison.
Ian looked at this scene in a daze, and he realized that he was wrong. People in this world are certainly afraid of the Tianlong people, but their hatred for the Tianlong people is stronger than their fear. Hearing that the Tianlong people were killed After hearing the news, the first reaction was not fear, but excitement.
Especially those who used to be slaves hated the Tianlong people even more, so it is not difficult to understand why they cheered.
In fact, Ian himself has never thought about it. The impact he caused this time is too great. Even the world government can only hide the killing of the Tianlong people on the surface, because the world government itself knows that the Tianlong people Evil deeds have caused too much resentment in the world. People who hate them can be said to be all over the world. If the world knows that even the navy cannot protect the Tianlong people and cause them to be killed, then the Tianlong people may be killed next. To face the stormy revenge...
The world government can't let the Tianlong people lose, so they can only take this method to protect them. As for how to deal with the mastermind who killed the Tianlong people, that is a private matter.
After toasting and celebrating, the crying expressions of the crowd disappeared, replaced by outright laughter.
They finally understood the reason why Ian had to wear a face scarf all the time, and they no longer had any doubts in their hearts.
Ian also has no choice. A large part of these rescued slaves need to be sent away. They still have relatives and need to go back to reunite with their relatives, so it is hard to guarantee that the navy will not get news and come to the door. If it is because of this Leaking his identity, who knows if it will bring trouble to Master Koshiro and the others
So, at least until these people who were going to be sent away left, Ian didn't plan to take off the towel.
Everyone naturally understood his intentions, so they consciously avoided this topic and started celebrating again.
"Benefactor!" Sardin asked Ian next to him: "What's your plan next? Many of us rescued slaves are homeless people, including me, we They all intend to follow you, do you have any idea of forming a pirate group?"
Ian is also thinking about this issue. Now that he has entered the new world, his identity as a pirate hunter can no longer be used. Pirate hunters are very dangerous here, and at the same time, Ian and the others have to find ways to avoid the navy's pursuit.
In a world where pirates are rampant, if you want to hide yourself, the best way is to become a pirate and blend in.
Of course, Ian is now considered a member of the Revolutionary Army, and he can also bring these people to join the Revolutionary Army. I believe that they who have slave experience will not refuse.
Just when Ian was considering the pros and cons of the two options, he suddenly heard a burst of gurgling sound.
It was the sound of a phone bug, and Ian looked over strangely, only to see Margaret running over holding a baby phone bug.
"Forgot to tell you!" Sardin said: "Listen to Margaret, she found this baby phone bug in your trouser pocket. It rang once, and you hadn't woken up at that time, and we didn't dare to answer the phone rashly."
Ian nodded, because of the cross-dressing, the large phone bug that Uncle Xiong gave him can no longer be carried. Only this baby phone bug that can be carried in his trouser pocket is still there. He used this phone bug before. Worm and Kona Nai contacted them.
And now that the toddler phone bug was turned up because Margaret was doing his laundry, and it was ringing at the moment, it could only be someone trying to contact Ian.
Who is the one? Ian took the phone bug from Margaret, but he didn't answer the phone. He wondered who might be calling.
It is said that the only ones who know the number of this child phone bug are Kona Nayi and the others, but aren't they still lurking and waiting for the world conference
The communication range of the infant phone bug is not large, and it can only make calls when it appears nearby. It is impossible for Kona Nayi and the others to appear near here.
After thinking about it, he got up, went to a place where no one was around, and still connected the phone, because he suddenly remembered that there was another person who might contact him.
"Hello? Ian?" Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected, a deep voice rang out.
Sure enough, it was Uncle Xiong. Ian smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Xiong, did you get this number from Ke Nayi?"
"Yes!" The bear on the other end of the phone replied: "I know you may not be too far away, so I moved back and forth around places near the Red Earth Continent, and tried to dial this number every time I went, and finally got in touch with you! "
"Is there anything you can do for me?" Ian asked him.
"Don't hang up the phone, I have a phone bug that can track radio waves, and I can know your approximate location!" Xiong said: "I will come to you soon, you choose a place where there is no one and wait for me."
"Okay, but how did you come here?" Ian asked curiously.
"fly!"
Xiong answered one word very concisely, and then stopped talking.
So, Ian had no choice but to hold the microphone on the spot, waiting for the bear to arrive... (.)
