Ian had always thought that the refining of Thunder Stone should be a secret. When he proposed a restaurant refinery, Varudo would push back in every possible way. Teana Wwww. ⒉
However, what he didn't expect was that Varudo agreed directly, and he agreed very happily, without hesitation.
There are only two explanations for this, one is the secret of the refinery, which cannot be seen after two visits at all, and the other is that there is no secret at all in the process of refining the Thunder Stone.
Ian thought about it, and felt that the second possibility was more likely, because after he visited, he found that the number of miners arranged by Varudo in the refinery was very small, and the equipment looked crude, and it did not seem to be a high-precision miner at all. The look of cutting-edge technology.
So he is more inclined to his second guess. He feels that Varudo seems to be using the refinery to cover up another other secret.
But Ian didn't know what Varudo was trying to cover up, and Varudo was a bit mysterious. In addition to his original identity as a colleague of Vegabank, Ian couldn't guess him.
"Perhaps, we can sneak in and spy on it?" Ke Nanai whispered.
"Am I coming or are you coming?" Ian asked.
Kona Nay thought for a while and said, "Hutao and I sneak in. Even if something goes wrong, Hutao and I can pretend to be maids, and the possibility of being exposed is less."
Ian nodded. When he was in the palace before, he found that there were indeed fewer men in the palace, and it was difficult to cover up.
"Sneak in tonight!" Ian said: "You can pretend to be a maid and stay for a while, I figured it out, maybe a lot of munitions from Flamingo's place are coming soon, I will contact Aryos at that time. "
……………
After the news that Ian, the Shichibukai, accepted the employment of King Varudo was spread, the rebels on the island really settled down a lot, and the supervisors arranged by Varudo in the mine also reported that recently The miners who mine the mine are much more honest.
Varudo is very satisfied, and feels that he has made the right move. As long as the miners don't make trouble, he will have a steady stream of thunder stone production. At that time, whether it is to support his secret research or trade with the world government for funds , are much easier.
However, what Varudo didn't know was that the reason why the rebels and miners became honest recently was not because of Ian's deterrence, but because Ian asked them to do so!
ay-5 escorted a ship of weapons to this island as promised. Her ship was flying the flag of the Don Quixote Pirates. No one dared to think about her ship. And she chose to land at 6 o'clock, which was the original Iraqi ship. The sandy beach where they landed.
Among the weapons that Doflamingo sold to Ian, there were slightly fewer guns, but a large number of swords, enough to arm 20,000 people. Ian took Arians and the others to hand them over on the spot.
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Ian!" Arians was very encouraged after getting the weapon, he stroked his chest and saluted Ian: "Thank you for your help, this time we will be able to overthrow Varua's rule."
In fact, there was no need for Varua to stand against his citizens. As long as he can give the miners a higher salary and spend part of the money to develop the country, I believe the residents of the island will be happy to support him. For service, after all, this island has no other way to develop besides minerals. The miners are mining from left to right, so it’s not the same for whom? But helplessly, Varua needs to spend a lot of money because of his own research, and he really can't do this.
The miners on the island are now forced to work without any salary at all. The daily salary is a few slices of bread and a little clear soup. Who can survive such a life? It would be strange not to!
Ian was noncommittal about Arians' gratitude. He also knew that after the rebel army overthrew Varua, perhaps Arians would become king. The miners have better treatment and remuneration. From this point of view alone, it seems that the rebel army does not seem to be ideal.
So Ian couldn't help but opened his mouth and said to him: "Have you ever thought about it, even if your country ushers in a new life, how will it develop in the future? The gem veins have been dug, and the mine veins of Thunder Stone will be dug one day. What will you do then? What will you do for a living?"
Arians was taken aback when he heard that, he really hadn't considered these issues.
"Thunderstone is a very strange ore!" Ian sighed and said, "Perhaps you can consider making a fuss about this point, such as using the energy of Thunderstone to build a city of electricity and develop tourism. of."
Ian knows that there are actually electric power exhibitions in this world, and he has seen electrical products, but limited by the unique geographical conditions of this world, even if a power plant is built, the power supply range is only an island, and it is impossible to send Going to other places, because it is impossible to erect cables above the sea, the use of electrical appliances has not been very high.
And on this island, Thunder Stone is a very unique mineral. With this kind of thing, even if you don't build a power station, you can still build an electric city. This is a very unique place.
And isn’t travel all about seeing unique things? Perhaps when this place becomes a city that never sleeps, it will attract more tourists from the New World, right
Ian's idea caught Arians' eyes, and he began to consider the feasibility of his suggestion.
Ian didn't care about his plan, he just mentioned it in passing. After handing over to the rebel army, he told Arians that he hoped that the rebel army would stay dormant for a while, and wait for him to figure out what happened to Varudo. After the secret, it's never too late to move.
Varudo would never have thought that Ian, who had accepted his employment, not only did not stand with him, but instead stood with his people.
This is impossible. Who made Ian see the massacre on the island as soon as he landed on the island? From that moment on, it was impossible for Varudo to truly cooperate with Ian.
It took two days for Kona Nai and Walnut to return safely.
"This Varudo really has other secrets!" As soon as he saw Ian, Kona Nay said, "Hu Tao and I pretended to be maids and explored the palace for two days. Ludo will disappear into the palace, but he never went out. We wanted to get close to his bedroom, but the strange thing is that Varudo actually arranged a lot of red-eyed owls outside his bedroom door. Although it can make our voice disappear, it can't hide from the scan of the red-eyed owl! So in desperation, we had to come back first."
Hu Tao also shouted loudly: "His secret must be in the bedroom!"
Red-eyed owl, Ian knows this kind of creature. It is a special creature that can emit infrared rays from its eyes at night. Once it is scanned by infrared rays, these owls will immediately scream strangely. This kind of creature is very rare. It is used to place in some secret treasuries to prevent secrets from being stolen.
"So, what about the refining technology of Thunder Stone?" Ian asked.
"I'm afraid the refining of Thunder Stone is just a very ordinary smelting!" Kona Nayi said: "Although Varudo set up the smelting plant in his own palace, we found that he has never been to the smelting plant in the past two days. But the smelter still produces Thunder Stone normally!"
"Okay, since that's the case, let's get started!" Ian also had some bad premonitions in his heart, and felt that Varudo could no longer be allowed to go on.
So, that night, Ian contacted Arians.
After the rebels got their weapons recently, they also took this opportunity to get acquainted with them. When Ian informed them that they could do something, that night, a large number of miners with weapons poured out from every corner of the city.
They quickly gathered from the streets, and then attacked the mine!
There, there are more than 5,000 miners who are still being enslaved to mine ore for Varudo. Most of Varudo’s original pirates were placed here, working as supervisors for him, when the uprising When the soldiers rushed here, they immediately started a fierce battle with these original pirates.
With weapons, the miners' superiority in numbers became apparent. Although their combat experience was not as good as that of the original pirates, they could kill Varua's subordinates one by one through siege.
The supervisors of the mine also called out their cannons to bombard the insurgents, but soon the insurgents, who were not afraid of death, rushed up and destroyed the cannons.
The location of the mine was a little far from the palace, but the loud shouts and shelling still reached the palace.
"What's going on!?" Varudo was doing research in the underground laboratory, and he ran out after hearing the sound.
And his confidant, Habs, reported to him with a face full of fear: "Your Majesty, it's not good, those damn miners have already entered the mine!"
"What about our people? We also have a team of more than a thousand people!" Varudo yelled, "Let them suppress those unarmed mobs severely!"
"I...our people can't resist anymore!" Habs said tremblingly: "These mobs, they don't know where they got a lot of weapons, and we can't do anything to them now!"
When Varudo heard this, he panicked immediately. He did not expect that these weapons were provided to them by Ian. Surprised by the resistance of the rebel army, Varudo could only seek Ian's help, saying: " Hurry up! Go find the Dragon Hunter Pirates, after giving them so much money, it's time for them to contribute!"
However, just as Varudo finished speaking, the gate of the palace opened suddenly, and only a voice said: "Don't call, we are already here!"
Varudo looked up, who is the leader if not Ian
Habs didn't understand what was going on, but when he saw Ian and the others, he excitedly greeted him and said, "Great, Lord Ian, you came in time, those mobs have already taken down the mine. , they will come here soon, please protect His Majesty Varudo... "
Before the voice fell, Varudo behind suddenly shouted: "Habs! Don't go there!"
When Habs heard the shout, he was about to turn around, but at this moment, a huge force came from his stomach.
Ian didn't bother to talk too much, he lifted his leg and kicked him flying!
