Chapter 25 Twenty Five
As early as when he first arrived here a few days ago, Lin Tianyin had heard of Governor Helim's name. Knowing that this person is equivalent to the ruler of this place, what he said is equivalent to the law. The governor is a very powerful person. He managed this place in an orderly manner. He repelled the outsiders who wanted to take this place several times and put down the riots of the traitors. The residents here respect him very much and absolutely obey his management. It can also be said that because of the existence of this person, the residents in the safe area can survive stably.
"...Once we found a few wooden barrels in Area C, thinking that they contained mellow wine. If anyone could give me a bottle of wine, I would exchange my food for a month...Oh, then At that time, I was full of excitement and happiness, but after the barrels were opened, they were actually tied up by pirates. Those few people were thrown into the sea by their captain, crying and begging us to save them. The people brought them back to a safe area. They were very disobedient. You know, the pirates are fierce and lazy, do not create value, and only destroy. The residents here can't bear to propose to drive them away, but the governor still insists on giving them another chance , To provide them with water and food, but the greedy pirates wanted to snatch this place. One day they broke into the governor’s mansion with weapons and tried to kill the governor Helim who tolerated them-but they were too naive The governor is not only kind, but also very powerful, so he has enough strength to defend here. Oh, he himself has overpowered the rebellious pirates!"
On the way to the Governor’s Mansion, Chorov kept telling Lin Tianyin and their science governor Helim’s great achievements, and explained that their governor is a gentleman who loves the people like a son, and even after subduing the pirates, he did not kill them, but expelled them. Out of the safe area.
Lin Tianyin actually felt that Chorov didn't tell the truth, he must have concealed something. This kind of behavior that would leave countless hidden dangers was either a brain injury or a virgin to the extreme. If the Governor is really a person as he said, he will definitely not be able to sit in this position. Lin Tianyin felt that these guys were a bit hypocritical, but she obviously wouldn't have any conflict with the governor, and at this time she also pretended to listen respectfully to Chorov's narration.
"In short, the rules here are all made by the governor. After decades of chaos, after the governor appeared, now this place has finally become orderly..."
"So what happened to the pirates who were expelled?" Celil suddenly asked aloud when Chorov was talking emotionally.
"I don't know this."
His own words were interrupted. Although Chorov was a little unhappy, he still laughed and said, "What? Are you curious about those? Speaking of which, I heard that you are a pirate, but you feel like Much better than those people, hardworking and willing to endure hardships, don't let our governor down!"
"Ah, it's impossible for me to do that kind of thing." Celil grinned, he paused, and continued to ask Chorov, "But why don't you know? Even if they die, the bones will be Back to Zone D, right? Those pirates should have no chance to escape out of the belly of the sea monster Ums, right?"
"Of course they can't escape. Most of them got lost in which danger zone and encountered a monster." I don't know why, Chorov was a little evasive when answering this question, and obviously began to change the subject. "Don't worry about the trivial things. Anyway, there are often residents who accidentally step into the danger zone and then the corpse disappears. The ten jjj are eaten by monsters. You have joined the exploration group, right? Be careful, curiosity will do Kill your number one enemy."
Chorov's last words seemed to have no meaning, Celil smiled non-committal: "Thank you for your advice."
Although Celil agreed very readily, there was a hint of disdain in his attitude, and he didn't even mean to pretend.
Lin Tianyin couldn't help but feel a little strange, what's the matter with this guy?
She didn't understand the young pirate leader a bit. When facing John before, he was obviously hiding well. What did he want to do at this critical moment?
"Yes, I am doing it for your good." Chorov put on a serious expression, "You are still very young. Just do your job... Wait until you see Governor Helim. Don't be rude."
When Celil's unfriendly expression became obvious, Lin Tianyin was afraid that he would say something bad, and immediately kicked his calf like a warning, and quickly responded to Chorov's words, "Yes, I understand. We will be very obedient."
Chorov hummed. Fortunately, Celil didn't say anything. She quickly looked up to see Celil's reaction, but found that she seemed to worry too much. She didn't need to worry about this guy's acting skills. Celil regained that grinning hearty look again, and after noticing Lin Tianyin's gaze, he raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, then suddenly grinned.
"..."
Lin Tianyin narrowed his eyes subconsciously.
The safe area is such a large area. After walking through the residential area and the forest, Chorov and the three people came to the largest and most gorgeous building in the area, and then stopped to introduce it. It is the Governor's Mansion.
"I'll report it first."
Chorov made a wait gesture to the two of them, then stepped forward and said something to the guard, who didn't know what to say, and then the guard ran into the house and asked the three to wait outside.
This kind of interview method that needs to be transferred to many layers is almost like an emperor. Is it really the highest ruler in this area? Lin Tianyin sneered in her heart. She vaguely remembered that she had been warned not to enter that building at will. It turned out to be the place where the governor lived. Lin Tianyin didn't believe that the Governor was just like Chorov boasted, but she still had some doubts why the Governor should see her and Celil. It happened that after she and Celil proposed to visit the old captain... Is there any weirdness?
After a while, the person who had previously notified ran out of the building and nodded to inform them that they could enter.
"follow me."
Chorov made a gesture to the two of them, and Lin Tianyin immediately followed with Celil. After entering the palace-like building, Lin Tianyin couldn't help being stunned by the decoration inside.
Ingenious workmanship... No, there is no other word to describe this place except for the beautiful. The wall is made of aqua-blue stones. The walls are inlaid with various shining gems. In addition to sofas, tables and chairs, tea sets, there are also various furnishings that seem to make people feel happy. In contrast, Lin Tianyin I feel that their dormitory for the exploration team is simply not a place for people to stay. This governor’s mansion is like a dragon palace!
"This... why are these things here?!"
Lin Tianyin opened his mouth wide and screamed in surprise. This this this! This is not scientific! There was a beautiful carpet under her feet. When she saw the wolf head specimen hanging on the wall, she almost forgot that she was still in the belly of the sea monster!
"Probably something found on the wrecked ship."
Celil wasn't surprised, he seemed too calm, but he also looked at the room with some curiosity, and suddenly a low voice rang from above.
"Yes, this little brother is very clever, these are indeed things that were brought back from the ship that was killed."
Lin Tianyin was taken aback, immediately raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a middle-aged man with a gray beard slowly walking down the escalator on the second floor.
"Very good, isn't it? Pirates always hide a lot of treasures. Of course, these things are not unique to me. After becoming a high-level tenant, they can also enjoy all the resources they can obtain."
The man said as he stepped into the first floor, he looked a little old, but he was very tough. After he walked slowly to the first floor, Chorov immediately saluted him. The man waved his hand to indicate that he did not need it, and then put on a humble smile on his face, and then stretched out his hand to the two of them, "Hello, I am the governor here, Helim Wood."
"Celil." Celil reached out and shook hands with the Governor.
When it was Lin Tianyin's turn, the governor suddenly withdrew his hand, but he still looked at Lin Tianyin kindly and asked, "Where is my little sister?"
"Shanoya." Lin Tianyin felt a little strange, why didn't he shake hands with her when it was her turn? Is it the habit of this world? Alas, no matter what the original author writes, everything is very sloppy, even if the vocabulary is poor, there are almost no details in her novel...
But this is not a big deal, so Lin Tianyin didn't care. After the two introduced themselves, Chorov suddenly bowed to the governor acquaintedly, stepped back and said, "Then I will wait for them outside."
"You have worked hard, Chorov." The governor nodded at the man, and after seeing Chorov exit the room, he gestured to the sofa, table and chairs in the room, and said to Lin Tianyin and Celil, "Sit down, please, some tea? "
"There is still tea?" Lin Tianyin was slightly surprised, "Is this also found on the shipwreck?"
"It's not all. Oh, let's just have some Ke Luo Cao." The governor smiled, and while he was holding the tea set, he took out a delicate small box from the cupboard. The man slowly opened the box, pinched some purple broken leaves into the tea cup with his fingers, and when the hot water was poured into it, the three cups of tea faintly exuded some incredible and charming fragrance.
It smelled very good, and Lin Tianyin took a deep breath. The smell almost smelled like cocoa with milk, which made people feel warm and satisfied.
"What is this?" Lin Tianyin stared curiously at the tea cup brought by the governor. The magical thing was that the tiny bits of crushed leaves made a cup of very rich tea. She curiously licked it with her tongue and tasted it. The taste of cocoa.
"That is the keluo grass growing in area c, which is rare, but there are many in area b. During the winter break, our bravest warriors here risk their lives and go to those places to collect." The governor went to the sofa. After sitting, he explained to everyone in an easy-going manner, "Its mesophyll is very plump, and the stem juice is very sweet. The leaves can be dried into tea, which is a good thing to replenish physical strength. When the exploratory team is trapped, These crocuses are life-saving food."
Is that right? Hearing that Lin Tianyin became more curious, she hesitated and took a sip of tea, and found that as the governor said, when the strong cocoa smell dissipated from her tongue, she almost felt that the energy she had consumed all day was instantly restored. .
Not bad, eh... so if you find your way into zone b, you don't have to worry about food consumption.
"The taste is also very good, the children like it very much, even those of us who are in the elderly are no exception." After seeing Lin Tianyin and the others drinking tea, the governor smiled and looked at them like a comfort. The person said, “The environment inside Ums is rather strange, and it has many things that the outside world doesn’t have. In fact, it’s not all bad to enter here. We should thank the gods for giving us the chance to survive again. Survive here. Everyone here is like this. It may not be acceptable at first, but since it is no longer possible to leave, one day you will get used to life here."
"...Oh." Lin Tianyin nodded. She felt that even if she pretended, she couldn't give the governor any enthusiastic response. The whole person looked quite depressed. However, the Governor obviously didn't expect much from her, or that such a reaction was considered normal. After all, he was a young man who had just arrived in the belly of the sea monster not long. So the governor nodded and turned to Celil, who was also unresponsive, and asked with concern: "Are you still used to life here? If you have any needs, don't be polite."
"There is nothing special. If I insist, I hope there will be more places where I can move freely." Celil said with a grin. "I was warned by the captain of the expedition team before. I can't go to many places."
"Hahaha, as long as you raise the level of residents, the restrictions here will be reduced."
"There is also a little bit of food." Lin Tianyin added aloud.
"Hahaha, there is no way. We are short of resources here. There are only those that can be allocated to each person every day, so everyone has to work hard to survive. Little girl, treat it as a weight loss, believe you It will be more beautiful if you lose weight."
"..."
The governor laughed boldly again. Lin Tianyin had realized that he seemed to control people's hearts. The governor said things that seemed to care about people, but in fact, no one could escape the rules he made. What is certain is that the governor has no intention of leaving here... he even enjoys this feeling of dominance.
"We will work hard." Lin Tianyin pretended to nodded obediently. But she still cares about one thing, and feels she doesn't know if she should speak.
What are these people going to do with the captain who refuses to cooperate? What is the purpose of keeping someone who cannot create value?
There are too many mysteries here, and it seems that the atmosphere is not really that friendly. After Lin Tianyin hesitated for a while, he still didn't ask, even if he asked, he wouldn't get the truth. So she decided to put her suspicion away first. Nothing has happened yet, so their only goal now is to find a way to break into area a. Of course, she and Celil alone couldn't do this thing. What they needed was a guide who was familiar with the route: an aboriginal who could be trusted and would not betray them.
However, to find such a person in this place is also the biggest problem they need to face now.
