Chapter 427: captive

Huh!

After the other side saw the shot here, someone fell into the sea after being shot.

These indigenous people saw that the two sides had turned on the fire, and naturally they were not polite, so the crossbowmen also attacked here.

Manlu and Cuisite were closer to the cabin. When they saw the opponent hitting back at the archery, they quickly hid in the cabin, and other scholarly figures ran to the cabin to hide.

Huh! boom!

For a while, the sound of gunfire kept coming around, and the sound of the crossbow shooting out, some were mourned and mourned, and some were still resisting.

The situation was a bit out of control. When the adventurer on the ship shot behind the bunker to shoot those indigenous people, he was constantly being shot and lost his combat effectiveness.

The indigenous people on the opposite ship seemed very ferocious. In the case of no absolute advantage in the number and armed forces here, the indigenous people boarded the scientific research ship.

I saw those people holding knives and guns. After boarding the boat, the adventurers on the boat had almost no power to fight, and they were quickly put on the neck with a knife. They were afraid to resist and became captives.

Unscrupulous scientists, such as Manru and Cuisite, watched as the people on board were captured by the indigenous people but there was no way to rescue them.

Even in the end, scientists such as Crest and Manru were captured by the indigenous people who opened the cabin door and entered.

"Gentlemen, I think this is a misunderstanding. We have absolutely no intention of offending you. We just probed the environment here and broke into your territory ..."

After the people on this ship were captured, Crest tried to explain something.

But he didn't listen at all, and tied them directly with a rope, pushing them to the dilapidated ship.

Can't stand on the damaged sailing ship. Manru and Cuisite saw some products from different periods of ancient feudal civilization and modern civilization.

Even some things are very old. From their perspective, they are naturally seen as precious cultural relics and antiques, but this group of indigenous people use them as tools for daily use.

After the Manlu people, including those who were wounded, were taken captive to each other's ships, the indigenous people did not say anything to them. Just tow the ship they were sailing on with a rope, and then headed towards the center of the sea.

Manru and Crest are tied together.

As they looked at the situation around the ship and those cold-looking indigenous people, Manru could not help whispering: "Cuisite, I think these indigenous people should have their own civilization, since this sea is their territory. They It was found that we did not launch an attack directly after breaking in, indicating that they knew etiquette ... "

Cui Si characteristically said, "You are right, these indigenous people captured us and did not abuse us. It does not look very cruel. Although one of them did not understand the words, the other seemed to have a tone It's just a questioning tone. Besides, if you look at the clothes they are wearing, do you have a feeling of getting more familiar? "

But another old man next to him suddenly said: "Manlu, Cuisite, I know some of the origins of these people, as if they were from the ancient feudal Ming Dynasty costume style from China, I used to be in a country I've seen it in movies. So I'm impressed.

Look at the crossbows, bows and arrows, and rifles they use, which are also unique to ancient China. Then let's speculate if the words spoken by the other party sounded a bit like the local dialects of ancient China, that is to say, they are likely to speak Chinese, so if we communicate with them in Chinese ... "

After hearing these analyses, Manru and Cuisite brightened. I feel very reliable.

Cuisite often deals with scientists from all over the world, and naturally understands some Chinese. So I tried to use Chinese to look forward to the person who looked like a Western race, although his appearance looked similar to them. But in ancient oriental clothing, he looked weird and humane: "Sir, can you understand what I say?"

Just to the surprise and surprise of Cuisite and all Westerners, the indigenous soldier in the face of a Westerner wearing an ancient Chinese costume said to them in English with a strong English accent: "Shut up, in the absence of Don't talk until you reach your destination! "

所有人 All the captives naturally understood this, and everyone was stunned.

Manru is also an Englishman. At this time, he was even more agitated, with a strong desire to understand these people and the unknown magical continent: "You, you can speak English, are you English? Man, how did you get here, can you talk, we are not malicious, you see, we are all by you and can not threaten you ... "

However, Manru's enthusiasm did not impress the indigenous soldier who was guarding them. He saw that the other party was very disciplined, but after the warning, he said nothing.

Manlu wants to communicate with these indigenous people in many ways, but the other party ignores him, so that his enthusiasm hits the cold stones.

Nevertheless, as a captive, Manru was without these consciousnesses, and he was still trying to use some topics to arouse the interest of the indigenous soldier with a Western appearance.

Manru considers that these people have lived in this mysterious sea space for many years. From the appliances they use, the boats, and the characteristics of their clothing, it can be judged that the living standards of these people are at least backward and at least now More than 70 or 80 years.

But since indigenous people of Western descent may have become mixed blood, the characters who came here a long time ago were all mistakenly entered here in the era of sea navigation or during World War II.

After thinking about it, Manlu took the initiative to talk about some allusions in the Western era of the Great Navigation, as well as some historical celebrities and famous navigators mentioned.

However, just as Manru accidentally mentioned the name of a mysteriously disappeared character, he suddenly saw the expression of that indigenous person suddenly become a little bit nostalgic, and with respect and miss in his eyes, Manu When Lu's heart moved, he asked him what the relationship was with that person.

What Manru didn't expect is. The indigenous soldier finally spoke, mentioning that he was the descendant of the mysteriously disappeared navigator, who had lived here for nearly a century.

Manlu was shocked when he heard this, and at the same time he felt as if he had made a good start. After finding a breakthrough point, I used this as a topic to chat with Manru and asked from the side where their destination was.

And this indigenous man seemed to be no longer exclusive to Manru because of his ancestors, so he told Manru and others to go to the place called Octopus Island, and they were captives. To be questioned by the owner of the island.

After hearing these messages, Manru and others were shocked.

之中 In this mysterious sea, there really is an island, and there is indeed a human civilization on that island, and the owner of the island is actually the descendant of the royal family of a country that has once perished. After they settled here, they accommodated some people who were lost in this area to live here and established a regime.

However, the indigenous people of this western origin only revealed the basic conditions of Octopus Island, and stopped talking.

But it's just the most basic information, but it's a great shock to these people.

Alas, just after these people have not completely digested the information. The crowd heard a tremor, and the boat stopped.

After the barge stopped, the indigenous people took Manru's captives to the deck. Manru and other people from modern civilization have finally seen the new continent hidden behind the mysterious veil.

I saw that it was an island with a very beautiful environment and an area that seemed to be very large. The ecological environment on the island belonged to the original ecology.

I am even more curious to these people. They also found some buildings on the island, but the style of those buildings is somewhat biased to the ancient style. Even some indigenous people maintain some primitive and backward habits.

有 There is a pier here, and there are many sunken ships stranded on the pier. Very dilapidated and unusable, and several indigenous people are still repairing those vessels. The maintenance techniques used are also very primitive.

Although these people were tied by ropes, after they got off the boat, they were escorted by the indigenous soldiers with weapons and passed through a straight road toward the building community on the island.

After observing all the way, these people like Cuisite found that the population on this island does not seem to be large, less than 10,000 people at most, and some savages maintain the most primitive life, and have established cities and civilizations with them People coexist peacefully, and they also have some backward economic systems.

However, those adventurers look completely different from those scientists. They see a lot of antique collections that will become very valuable when they are taken outside, and the indigenous people here use gold as the main currency, mainly for Buy food.

They found great value in wealth. These people are thinking that if they can have a chance to go out or gain the trust of those in power here and establish trade relations with them, then they can completely exchange gold for food through a large amount of food outside. It's hard not to get rich.

Thinking of this, the little fear that the adventurers brought to this place slowly turned into a kind of greed and fiery.

After being carried away for about ten minutes, Manru's captives were finally taken to their destination.

It's a small city, maybe he hasn't got a county seat in a country outside those countries, but the classical architectural features, and the arrangement of humanistic colors, beautiful scenery, the painting is very beautiful, Make those people look amazing.

Soon, this group of people were brought into a palace by the indigenous people, and the palace was guarded by guards everywhere, looking very imposing.

There is a powerful seat in the front of the hall, which looks like a throne. It looks like it is about sixty or seventy years old, looks very dignified, has a temperamental yellow skin, and black eyes. The black-haired, pure-bred Oriental looks, but the mentally healthy old man sits on that throne.

Everyone looked at this old man with curiosity. After the indigenous people came in, they saluted the man, full of respect, all thinking in their hearts that this man might be the king here.

At this moment, after the old man looked at Manru and others, he asked the guard to loosen the rope and asked, "Who are you?"

Manlu and Cuisite looked at each other. They heard it in the language of the old king, and the real Chinese used by this person was communicating with them.

After they were loosely bound, Manru learned to be polite to the indigenous guards, and then said in jerky Chinese: "Dear Sir, please allow us to apologize. We are all scientists and adventurers from countries outside this sea. , We inadvertently broke into the territory of your island during a scientific expedition, and we have no malicious intentions ... "

That looks like a king's way: "This octopus island is surrounded by boundless seas everywhere, and on the edge, there is an invisible barrier that makes it completely closed for hundreds of years. It is impossible to go out, but outsiders can All who came in were accidentally lost here and taken in. Tell me, how did you get in? "

"Here has been closed for hundreds of years?" After being interpreted by Manru, the captives were taken aback.

The old king didn't wait for Manru and others to reply, and then said in another language that the captives were very shocked after hearing: "We once hosted some people similar to you, what you said The language is the same as them. They have lived here for hundreds of years. Many of us here also speak this language, and my husband has listed this language as the second official language of the island ... "

Crest and Manru heard that the king actually speaks English and is the second official language on the island, so there is no problem in communication between the two parties, and they immediately seem very excitement.

Cuisite couldn't help but said, "Dear sir, are you the king of this island city? Your island is called octopus island, so do you have a country name?"

The old man nodded and said, "Of course ~ EbookFREE.me ~ My ancestor was a prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom three hundred years ago, and had good friendship and trade with the Kingdom of Heaven and the Ming Dynasty and some countries in Nanyang But it has been hundreds of years since my ancestors lost their way to the ocean and settled here with a group of subordinates exploring the ocean. "

"Liuqiu Kingdom?"

After hearing this, Manru's adventurer friend seemed very surprised and exclaimed, "I know the origin of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was invaded by the Japanese island nation about 200 years ago. It has been destroyed, and I still do n’t think there is a descendant of your royal family ... "

"Has my ancestor's home country been come to destroy it?"

After hearing these words, the king of kings looked very sad and angry at the same time, and then asked, "Is the country you said on the island of Japan once a state of puppet? Is the former dynasty of the Ming Dynasty still alive?"

The adventurer friend paused and hesitated, "Uh, according to the Orientals, today's Nishimado country was indeed called Laos, but the Daming Dynasty you said has also disappeared for hundreds of years, and it is now a brand new A powerful country called China! "(To be continued)
