Chapter 140
Betty stared at Jig in her mother's arms and murmured,
""Mom, do gods really exist in this world?"
Normally, her mother would have smiled and said to her, silly child, there are no gods in this world.
But now, her mother nodded subconsciously.
Not only her, but the civilians on both sides of the street seemed to understand why the nobles were so respectful to Jiger. With this kind of power that can flatten a mountain with a raise of the head, it would only take a thought to destroy a country. Aren't the legendary gods the ones who possess this kind of power?
However, they were wrong. Before this, the nobles were only in awe of Jiger's identity, and they were equally confused by the power Jiger displayed.
Is this the power of the admiral, who is known as the highest combat force of the navy?
In front of such a person, even the most brave army would probably be just a joke.
Jiger looked down at Betty and smiled,
"
I'm just a passing marine.���Squinting his eyes, he asked,
"Navy? If you become a navy, you won’t be afraid of those fierce nobles, right?"
This question made the navy soldiers behind him feel ashamed, thinking to themselves, little boy, the one standing in front of you is a navy admiral! We can’t compare with him!
Jiger responded,
"No, becoming a navy officer is just an opportunity for you. It depends on whether you can grasp it."
Betty nodded thoughtfully, and Jig turned and left. The word"justice" behind him fluttered in the wind. Betty looked at Jig's back and suddenly shouted,
"Big brother, you haven't told me your name yet!"
"Darkseid Zigg."
Betty repeated the name in her mind, then jumped out of her mother's arms. Zigg and his group had already left. She watched Zigg go away and said,
"I want to be a navy officer like Brother Jiger in the future!"
Just as she finished speaking, she was hit on the head. Her mother said unhappily,
""Please calm down for now. Do you know how much trouble you have caused?"
Betty said with her hands on her head, looking aggrieved.
"I didn't mean to do that! Humph! I want to be a marine!"
"Okay, okay, mommy didn't stop you, but there are no crybabies in the navy"
Betty sniffed hard, then raised her little hand to wipe her tears and said in a muffled voice,
"I get it, but mom, you can’t hit me on the head again. The navy certainly doesn’t want idiots!"......
Led by a group of princes and nobles, Jiger and others came to the palace.
The king first asked people to bring up the prepared heavenly gold. After Spandine inspected it, he immediately asked people to send the heavenly gold to the ship parked on the shore.
As for whether anyone would have the idea of taking the heavenly gold along the way, Spandine was not worried about this at all.
Are you kidding? Saint Jiger just flattened a mountain in front of so many people. If anyone dares to have any evil thoughts, he will really be asking for his life.
Next, it was the banquet specially prepared by the king to receive Jiger and his party.
At the banquet, the nobles did their best to flatter Jiger, and the ladies looked at Jiger with eyes that could squeeze water out of them.
The king talked about how hard he tried to save enough heavenly gold, but Jiger was not interested in these things at all. He just talked and laughed with Lucia and Ginny on his left and right occasionally.
But Long suddenly asked,
"Your Majesty, I want to know, does paying so much Heavenly Gold have a big impact on your life and the lives of these nobles?"
The king was stunned for a moment, thinking that the dragon was testing whether he was complaining about the excessive amount of Heavenly Gold, so he said,
"It's not very big, and we are happy to pay the Heavenly Gold. After all, our Kingdom of Goa is one of the member states!"
Long looked directly into the king's eyes and said,
"But on the way here, I felt that the people of your country don't seem very wealthy. I wonder what Your Majesty the King thinks about this?"
"Um, this......"
The king was choked for a moment, and cursed in his heart: Where did this fool come from? Isn't it natural for the common people to live in poverty? If the gold from heaven doesn't come from them, then will it come from me?
Long sneered and wanted to continue asking, but Jiger suddenly put down his chopsticks and said lightly,
""Okay, Major General Long, you've said too much today."
As soon as Jig opened his mouth, Long immediately swallowed back what he wanted to say, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Seeing Long, a young man, being humiliated, the king felt relieved. He didn't have a very good impression of Garp and his son, because these two people were also his subjects, but they never gave him, the king, any face.
However, Garp, the lieutenant general of the headquarters, had a much higher status than the king of his small country, and he couldn't afford to offend Long, the second generation. Usually, he could only curse a few words in his heart, but he didn't dare to conflict with these two people.
Now, someone can finally control these two people!
The king stood up from his chair, and it seemed that he wanted to pour wine for Jig himself. However, before he could get close to Jig, he was frightened by a look from Lucia beside Jig and froze in place.
Lucia had already seen that Jig didn't like this king, so she I won't let this guy get close to Jiger.
The king smiled awkwardly, holding the bottle of wine and sitting back in his seat.
By the way, his seat is at the lower right corner of the round table. People who don't know would think that he, as the king, is responsible for receiving the dishes.
After the banquet, Jiger did not choose to stay in the palace overnight. He returned to the ship in the afternoon. The king and the nobles sent Jiger to the port again.
It was definitely good news for this group of people that Jiger did not spend the night here, because they also saw that Jiger was not someone they could curry favor with.
Moreover, Jiger's trick during the day was so scary. They were afraid of Jiger from the bottom of their hearts and wanted to send this great god away quickly.
The ship carrying the sky gold slowly sailed away from the shore. The king had begun to grin, but at this moment, a minister ran over in a hurry with a Den Den Mushi in his hand.
""Your Majesty! There's news from the World Government!"
The king quickly picked up the Den Den Mushi and dialed the number. The nobles also pricked up their ears to listen.
Spandine's sinister voice rang out.
"General Black Dragon just said that he is very satisfied with your Goa Kingdom......"
The king was overjoyed at the news, but before he could be happy for long, Spandine's next words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"So he decided to exempt the common people of the Kingdom of Goa from paying taxes for three years, and the royal family and nobles will bear the cost of the remaining three years. I see you are all quite wealthy, so this shouldn’t be difficult for you, right? By the way, you are not allowed to have any thoughts about the common people, or you will not be king anymore!"
