Chapter 362 Cancer
...
at the banquet
Three wine tours
All they talked about were insincere pleasantries until the little lion Pokmus had to go to the bathroom urgently. After Pedro accompanied him out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed, and the guards on both sides put their hands on the hilts of the rapiers at their waists.
"Cock!"
The Goat Duke put down the wine glass in his hand, put away the smile on his face, and said seriously.
Gel still had a smile on his face. Seeing the other party's action, he wanted to ask, "Shouldn't smashing the cup be a signal?"
"Sir, now that we have eaten and drunk enough, I wonder if we can talk about other issues!"
The Goat Duke's tone was quite polite.
I have to say that no matter whether you are a good person or a bad person, most of the time, other people's attitude towards you depends on your own strength.
"Of course you can. You keep talking nonsense while eating and drinking. If you want to know something, why don't you just ask directly? How can I know what you want to talk about if you don't tell me?"
The Goat Duke thought about it and it seemed to be true, it was him who did not ask.
"I wonder what your purpose is in coming to Zou this time?"
"Originally I had no purpose, I just happened to come here to hang out when I saw them passing by. Now I have a purpose, those little devils want to join us voluntarily, and since I have promised them, I will definitely take them out to sea! No one can stop me!"
Ger said firmly.
The unyielding firmness in his words and the powerful aura mixed with a hint of domineering aura immediately made the fur tribe present feel a little breathless.
For a moment, the Goat Duke didn't know what else to say except to accept or directly refuse to declare war.
He secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and touched his mustache, thinking how come this man was so easy to talk to with a smile just now, but suddenly he became like a man of gunpowder and could choke others to death with just one sentence.
The scene fell into deathly silence.
No one dared to act rashly. Even the guards who were responsible for stopping Pedro and Pokmus let go of them stupidly, allowing the two little devils to run back to Captain Gill.
Looking at Gel's group, Ginny was holding Lab on her lap, feeding the cat while she ate herself, and the big bear was watching expressionlessly. The remaining two big guys were getting ready to start a battle, and they were even impatient!
Who is surrounded now? Can you be more self-aware?
They originally wanted to use force to intimidate both parties into sitting down and talking properly, but they didn't expect that the other party didn't take their intimidation seriously at all!
Pedro and the other man felt that they were the cause of the dispute, and he didn't want to see a fight between the two sides, so he opened his mouth and made a request.
"Captain! Or you should not take us out to sea!"
"It's okay, just sit down and leave it to me, the captain."
Gel stroked his leopard head and lion head and laughed.
The captain of the guard, Markla, quickly stepped forward to save the situation.
"Lord Gel, you are great adventurers, and the citizens of the Furry Principality like you very much. We, the Furry Tribe, do not want to become your enemies. I think there must be some misunderstanding, so there are some things we need to clarify. Please forgive me."
Seeing that Ger had no objection, Markela continued.
"We discovered something was happening in the White Whale Forest while we were on patrol today..."
"When we arrived, there was no one there, but there were still traces of ink on the historical text that had been copied privately. Zou Island is rarely visited by people. I wonder if this matter has anything to do with you, Lord Geer?"
"Yeah, I did it."
Gel admitted it directly.
The Goat Duke also took a breath and spoke.
"This historical text has been guarded by our fur tribe for generations. It is said that it contains very important information, so it cannot be shown to outsiders. Of course, ignorance is innocent, and we are also responsible for not guarding it well. But I hope Captain Gill can tell us what you plan to use the historical text for?"
“I’m useful!”
Ger answered without hesitation.
"Forehead…"
"it is good."
The Goat Duke suppressed the surging blood and energy in his body and continued speaking.
"So, the sacred bird totem next to the historical text was destroyed. I wonder if you, Captain Gill, saw any suspicious people at the scene?"
This expression can be said to be very euphemistic.
Gel smiled, showing his white teeth.
"I didn't see anyone suspicious because I did it too!"
"Tiantantantan!"
As soon as the words fell, all the fur tribe warriors drew their weapons and the atmosphere became tense again.
"I'm glad there's no misunderstanding! Captain Gur! That totem is the emblem of the Kozuki clan. We have been brothers with the Minks for thousands of years. I believe that whether it's on Zou or on the sea, destroying the other side's flag or emblem is a declaration of war! You're going too far! Although we Minks love peace, we are not cowards!"
The Goat Duke stood up and spoke, finally showing some of the dignity of a king. The fur tribe warriors in the hall also straightened up.
Pedro and Pokmus stood in front of Gel. Since they had decided to board the ship and follow the captain's law, they believed that Captain Gel must have his reasons for doing so.
Gel shook his wine glass and said with disdain.
"Haha, you're just an idiot who was sold out and helped others lose money! Stop talking nonsense in front of me! What about the thousand-year brotherhood? I hate people like you who don't use their brains to think and look at practical problems rationally. You always talk about fate, oaths, friendship, and make up a bunch of messy things to bind yourselves and the next generation of children."
"What do you mean?"
Ignoring the furious Goat Duke, Gel continued calmly:
"What I mean is, you treat them as brothers, but they may not treat you as brothers. They just like your simplicity, loyalty and force and want to tie you completely to their camp. What about the brotherhood of thousands of years, what about promises and agreements? It sounds good, but in the end, they just treat you as vassals. At most, they recruit your talents to work hard for them. You should know whether this is the case. If you are willing to be used as cattle and horses by others for generations, then just ignore what I said. Anyway, I have never seen such brotherhood! It's ridiculous!"
Everyone looked at each other, and the Goat Duke was also stunned. He was about to open his mouth to refute when he suddenly remembered that Inuarashi and Nekomaru seemed to have become retainers of the Kozuki clan now!
Did this guy know all this in advance?
Gel raised the corner of his mouth slightly and continued to fan the flames.
"The reputation of the Kozuki clan on the sea is that they are a poisonous tumor that is good at bewitching people. They seem to be thick-skinned and simple-minded, but in fact, people who are close to them can be easily brainwashed and their thoughts become abnormal. They are even more evil than cults. It is our duty to prevent more people from being poisoned. I think your ancestor who made a promise to the Kozuki clan thousands of years ago is most likely a victim, and you idiots are accomplices!"
"Captain Gul, you..."
How could this man be so cruel that he even cursed the ancestors of their Fur Tribe? Markla, who tried his best to prevent the two sides from having a conflict, looked embarrassed and wanted to advise Captain Gel to give him some room and not speak again.
