Chapter 267 The real secret
There are many islands in the New World that are recognized as extremely dangerous, and Thunder Island is one of them.
Due to the special climatic conditions, this island is in thunderstorms all year round. The black clouds in the sky have been shrouding over the island. The violent purple lightning is struck at the land of this island every moment. The entire Thunder God Island is a cage of thunder and lightning, and it is impossible to find a landing point.
Perhaps because of the years of lightning strikes, a stone that can store the power of lightning has been produced on this island, which is the original ore of the Thunder Stone.
However, Thunder Island is not suitable for human habitation, so it is naturally impossible to mine the raw ore. Valuedo accidentally discovered this gem island, and after research, he found that the island seemed to be part of Thunder Island. It was only two or three hundred years ago that it split from Thunder Island. There are naturally some mines of Thunder Rock under the shallow veins of the island.
The world government and the navy closed the institute and almost killed Valudo. This incident has always made him feel uneasy. So after occupying the island and starting to mine the thunder stone, Valudo's purpose in studying the thunder stone was to use the thunder stone to create a powerful weapon, and then retaliate against the world government and the navy.
As the saying goes, Valudo is actually very sinister. Although he is thinking of revenge, he can cooperate with the world government on the surface and provide them with some thunderstones in exchange for the research funds he needs. After all, scientific research is quite expensive.
The world government and the navy would never dream of the real purpose of Valuedo working with them is actually to bite them in reverse.
Since research requires a lot of money, Valuedo naturally cannot have too much money to invest in the army. He can only squeeze the miners on the island to force them to provide themselves with a steady stream of raw materials. His mind was not focused on considering the country and the people at all, so over time, the unbearable citizens began to resist him.
In this world, there are indeed few pirates who can be good kings. After discovering that the momentum is wrong, Valuedo's first thought was not to appease the people, but to suppress them.
He took out part of the money and hired more than 3,000 pirates, but didn't care about what they did. He just told them to suppress the wave of resistance. So the pirates who took the chicken feathers as command arrows took the method they were best at.
This is the massacre scene that Yian and his friends saw after landing on this island.
Now, due to an inexplicable appearance of the Seven Warriors Sea, all the pirates hired by Valudo have run away. Valudo does not have enough personnel to use it. When the next counterattack of the rebels comes, he is likely to be driven off the throne of the king. At that time, the rebels will occupy his palace and all the research will be burned.
When Valuedo thought that the possibility of reappearing the scene of the institute being bombed, he couldn't tolerate it. He didn't want to repeat the painful experience for the second time.
"Habs! Habs!" Valudo shouted the name of his confidant subordinate.
Habs soon appeared, ran to Valudo, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"
"Go to contact the Seven Warriors named Ian and say that I hope he can protect me, the king!" Valudo said: "He can buy the price at will, but the premise is that he will shock the uprising of those damn miners!"
"Your Majesty!" Habs said in embarrassment: "He has been on this island forever. I'm afraid he came for Thunder Rock. The miners have discovered the secret of Thunder Rock. He may have revealed it and found out if it was leaked. Otherwise, what our island wants is nothing, how could he stay here and not leave?"
"It's okay, go and tell him! If I work with me, I can provide him with some thunder stones!" Valudo said gritting his teeth.
"Is this really good?" Habs was still worried, saying, "What if he was not greedy and wanted to completely control the Thunder Stone?"
"Don't worry, as long as I have a while, my thunder roar cannon will be successfully developed. So what if it is the Seven Warriors Sea?" Valudo said proudly.
After receiving Valuedo's instructions, Habs went down, and he returned to the hotel in the city and found Ian.
"Oh? Did your king say that?" Ian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that in the news conveyed by Habs, Valudo actually guessed his purpose and directly stated that he could provide him with some thunder stones.
Ian was not idle during this period. He had been studying the small thunder stone crystal obtained by Kona Nai. Because of the Misaka Mikoto card, Ian was able to control the power of lightning. He once tried to see if he could absorb the electric energy in the thunder stone, but found that it would not work.
However, although it cannot be absorbed, Yian may take out the electrical energy inside for use. Originally, skills such as the Iron Sand Sword and the Super Electromagnetic Cannon would consume a lot of his mind energy. However, if he held this thunder stone in his hand to display it, Yian found that he could not consume his own mind power!
In other words, if there is enough thunder stone for him to use, he can completely treat this thunder stone as an external storage device.
Although Yian has now broken through the master-level chanting skills and can use the lightning sword of the Cannon Sister card and the final thunderfall in the mystery, this amazing skill, even if the consumption of the master-level chanting 25 is reduced, will also cost Yian a huge amount. Therefore, if you can get a large amount of thunder stones as a blue bottle, it is also a good idea.
However, although Valuedo felt that he had made a huge concession, he didn't know that what Ian wanted was not the thunder stone he provided, but the production of the thunder stone was completely controlled by himself.
Because in addition to using it himself, Ian also wants to use it to make transactions with the world government and make a lot of money from them.
Ian thought quickly in his mind, and he also knew that revealing his true purpose now would only make Valudu more vigilant. Since he promised to cooperate with him, it would be a good start, so don't worry.
So Yi Xingzuo said with satisfaction: "Very good, so I'll make it like this, 300 million Baileys, plus a part of the Thunder Stones to supply me, I can provide protection for your king!"
Three hundred million Baileys, this money is really amazing as employment expenses, but Habs was very happy because Ian agreed.
The deterrence of a Seven Warriors Sea is higher than that of more than a dozen pirate groups. With the promise of the Seven Warriors Sea, Valudo and the others will definitely be at ease for a while.
Of course, Habs also knew that he could not easily believe a pirate, even the Seven Warlords Sea, but the important thing for them was to gain time. As long as there is a certain time buffer, His Majesty Valudo's research was successful and he could defeat any enemy!
"So, can I meet your king?" asked Ian.
"Of course, His Majesty Valudo will welcome you very much!" Habs said.
Later that afternoon, Ian finally entered Valudo's palace.
As a small country, the palace is nothing strange and does not look very luxurious, but Yian still secretly remembers the environment along the way.
In the palace, Ian finally saw Valudo, a scientist, a pirate and a king. Valudo's scars on his face and his vicious eyes made Ian feel very uncomfortable when he first saw him. He knew very well that such a person could not force him to tell the secret through torture.
Although Valuedo was smiling all the time when he met, he was also secretly looking at Ian. Although Ian looked young, Valuedo did not dare to be careless and carefully tested Ian's personality with words.
Ian knew that too much would lead to mistakes, so he didn't say much. After Valudo invited him to have dinner together, Ian suggested that he wanted to see the refinery of Thunder Rock.
Ian originally thought that Valudo might refuse, but he didn't expect that he would agree directly.
There is nothing strange when visiting the refinery. Yian actually doesn't understand it very much. He just looked at the piles of ores, which were sent into the furnace with the conveyor belt, and then after many processes, it turned into small pieces of thunder stone crystals and were sent out.
After watching for a while, Ian left, and Valudo personally sent him out.
After leaving the palace and meeting with Kona Nayi and the others who were waiting outside, Ian immediately looked dark and whispered: "There is a problem, there is probably nothing special about the refining of the Thunder Stone, but Valuedo must have hidden some other things!"
