Chapter 180
…
Geol originally imagined that both Sky Islanders and Sandians would happily give him gold, but he didn’t expect to see the Sandians being unfriendly as soon as he arrived, which made him realize what he had thought before. It was too simple and I had to adjust my plan in time.
Based on the explosive tempers of these people, if I had gone directly to the village of Shandia to visit them as planned, I would have been greeted with spears and cannons.
Now that Thors, who may be Sandia's biggest thorn in the side, has been dealt with first, and then they will lead them to Yunyin Village, they should be able to sit down and have a good chat. Although the process took a little effort, the result is still good. of...
Don't think that Geer's plan to exchange soil for gold is a bit delusional. You must know that both the Aboriginal people of Sky Island and the Sandians value soil far more than gold!
Mud is something that does not exist in the sky. People on the Sky Island call the soil"Siba" because the island clouds in the sky can cultivate plants, but they cannot give birth to plants. It is because of the"Siba" that the Sky Island has Therefore, for all people living in the air, soil is their eternal longing and is an extremely precious thing.
The people of Sky Island regard every bit of soil washed up in the Baibai Sea as a gift from God.
400 years ago, the sea currents washed part of Gaya Island directly into the sky, which made them even more delighted. The Sky Islanders regarded this land as a holy land.
For the Sandians, it was their homeland where they had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. As a result, a war broke out between the two sides. The Sandians were defeated and driven out of their homes. The two sides continued to fight for Apayado. It will take hundreds of years to fight.
Although the Sandians have always been at a disadvantage and failed to successfully recapture their homeland from the Sky Islanders, they have passed down this belief. The Sandians have made it their mission to recapture Apayado for generations and vowed to Light up the lamp of Shantora again!
The more Geer thought about it, the more headache he got. No matter how you put it, this was a war of aggression. Although it happened nearly 400 years ago, the hatred accumulated over hundreds of years has long been an unending situation. Even if he has a big fist, he can force it to give way. They sat down to negotiate peacefully and signed a peace contract. After he left, they would still fight if they should fight. It was meaningless. Geer would not do anything so naive.
Perhaps they could set up a common enemy like Enel, who has ruled and oppressed them for more than ten or twenty years. When the old generation passes away and the new generation begins to grow up, most of the hatred will naturally disappear. transferred to the common enemy of both parties.
Since both sides are victims, their fates are connected, and they can truly empathize with each other. The hatred between each other will naturally fade a lot. If there is another revolution and the comradeship of joining forces to overthrow the old rule deepens the relationship, it may be possible to bury the hatchet.
But Geer didn't have the spare time to stay in the sky for so many years just to help them resolve their hatred.
Forget it, just make sure you get your own benefits. As for doing your best to get the gold compensation, if it doesn't work, they can fight however they want. Why worry about being an outsider?...
"Your name is Aya, right?"
Ger, who had withdrawn his thoughts, looked at the female warrior of Sandia and asked.
"Ah, yes, Captain."
Ling, who was still in a daze, responded hurriedly. She didn't expect that Geer would suddenly talk to her. Ling was obviously very nervous. She didn't know where to put her hands that were rubbing her belly.
She stood on the bow of the ship and pointed the direction. Thors was also eavesdropping warily, wanting to know what Captain Geer would say to his wife.
"Ma, don't be so nervous, just sit down and talk. To tell you the truth, I originally wanted to visit Yunyin Village with a gift, but I didn't expect to be attacked by you all of a sudden."
Geer showed a kind smile, which was completely different from the coldness before. Perhaps Ling didn't detect any malice from Geer's sincere smile. She mustered up the courage to ask:
"Captain, why are you so familiar with our Sandia? You even know the name of our secluded village."
If it weren't for the fact that Geer was younger than her, Ling would definitely suspect that Geer had been to Kongdao and their village before.
Geer thought to himself, is the name Yunyin Village a secret that outsiders should not know? Then If I blindly guessed the name of the child in your belly, wouldn't it scare you into thinking that it was a deity descending from the earth?
Geer smiled, did not answer her question, and continued to ask in order to lighten the atmosphere:
"Has the baby in your belly been given a name?"
When it comes to children, this female warrior instantly exudes the glory of motherhood, with a kind smile on her face, and she also lets go of her vigilance towards Geer.
"Well, let's think about it. The boy's name will be Weber and the girl's name will be Nilu."
"A pretty good name."
Ger nodded and thought to himself that it is true, old pricks give birth to little pricks, your whole family will be pricks!"
"Click!"
Ger lit a cigarette, stuck out a smoke ring and asked:
"Weber's mother, what I mean is that if, if there is an opportunity one day in the future to end the war between you and the Sky Islanders that has lasted for hundreds of years, will you be willing to put down your hatred and choose peace?"
Ling was stunned when she heard this. It wasn't that she was bothered by the strange name Geer called her. It was just that when she suddenly heard the word peace, she felt a little strange and distant. She thought about it seriously before she spoke, but Thors, who was eavesdropping next to her, had already His face was full of disdain and ridicule, as if he had heard a funny joke.
We were the ones who were invaded and driven out of our homes! How could you let go of your hatred? Why didn't you persuade the Sky Island people to hand over the holy land? Give in and return Apayado to us?
This is what Thors really thinks in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it out loud because of Captain Geer's power....
