Chapter 219 A year in a hurry

“The Drunkards? That’s simply… too incredible.”

Kedemo muttered to himself.

In fact, what Pat and Xia He just said was far beyond his understanding.

A baby who is not even one year old can do so many things that adults cannot do…

This can no longer be described simply with the word “genius”, right?

“This matter must be kept secret from others. If it is heard by someone with ulterior motives, Xia He’s safety will be difficult to guarantee.” Pat added.

“Then why did you tell me?” asked Kedemo.

“Because after spending some time with you, I think you have a pretty good personality. You shouldn’t be the kind of person who would backstab a friend.” Xia He burped and looked at Kedemo with a smile.

“Also, there is another reason…”

“what reason?”

“Telling you the truth will make it easier for me to act. After all, it’s really inefficient to always use Minian to convey my meaning to you.”

With a flushed face, Xia He threw the cup away casually, then stroked the non-existent beard on his chin, and continued with an air of being a senior official: “So, you want to obey me directly? I promise… hiccup! In ten years… no, within nine years, hiccup! I will develop this small island to a level and scale that is ten times greater than it is now. Of course, if you want to be among the best in the North Sea… unless you can find a ‘big shot’ to protect you, otherwise, it is almost impossible.”

“Directly under your command?”

Let me…

To obey a little kid who is less than one year old?
This……

A hint of hesitation flashed across Kedemo’s face.

It was not until a moment later that he drank the wine in his glass and finally nodded, “You are my daughter’s savior, I will listen to you.”

“As long as the village can get better and better, I am willing to sacrifice my life for it.”

“But if…if anyone dares to harm the village in the future, I will also do my best to make him pay the price.”

After saying all the harsh words, Kedemo, who had intimidated Xia He and the others, poured himself several glasses of wine as an apology.

About two hours later.

After three rounds of drinking.

Xia He, whose alcohol tolerance was many times lower than in his previous life, fell completely drunk on the lawn. He looked very drunk and asked Pat, “By the way, I was a little curious before. The mayor I shot dead… oh yeah, his name is Valentine, right? He kept muttering that curse… what on earth was that?”

“Curse? Hiccup, you mean the curse of Mendlin?”

Upon hearing this, Pat jumped up from the ground and said, “You want to know this? This is a long story…”

It turned out that about ten years ago, a man named Mendlin came to the small town of Caravis Island. He was handsome, humble, and knowledgeable. Therefore, soon after he arrived in the town, he immediately won the favor of a group of young women in the town.

This undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction among the men in the town.

So, when Mendlin wanted to settle here for a long time and bought a property and planned to move in…

Someone had set his house on fire in an attempt to send him a warning to get off Calavies Island.

But who would have thought that Mendlin was accidentally killed in the fire.

“The day before he died in the fire, he helped many lonely elderly people in the town chop wood, cook, wash clothes, etc. He did a series of housework for free. So after returning home, he was so tired that he fell asleep. In the end, he didn’t have time to escape, which led to such a tragedy.”

It is not difficult to hear from Pat’s tone that he is very sorry for Mendlin’s death.

“I actually admire him. After all, a man who can say something like ‘all men are created equal, without distinction of high or low’ is truly amazing.”

“But unfortunately, there are too many maggots in this town. They can’t seem to tolerate such an outstanding person…”

At this point, Pat couldn’t help but light up another cigarette and put it between his lips. “Hiss~~Huh! Cough cough cough cough…”

“So, what exactly is the curse?” Xia He looked at him and said.

“A curse?” Pat thought about it carefully. “It should refer to the series of strange things that happened after Mendlin’s death.”

“What’s weird?”

“For example… a plague suddenly broke out in the town.”

“For example, a large number of houses caught fire one after another in the following period of time, and many people were buried in the sea of ​​fire and turned into charcoal.”

“For example, the island of Caravis, which had not seen pirates for a long time, was invaded by several pirate groups in a short period of time…”

Various natural and man-made disasters.

If a naval ship had not happened to pass by at the time, Karavies Island would probably have long since become a part of history.

“That’s it.”

Xia He nodded thoughtfully.

I always feel that this is not a so-called “curse”, but something someone did deliberately.

But what does that have to do with me?

Although he was indeed a little curious in his heart, Xia He was not Shinichi. He could not do such a thing as running all the way to investigate the case just to satisfy his curiosity.

Put away the empty bottle and let Pat take it home.

Xia He also put this story behind him and went deep into the dense forest to continue working on his animal husbandry.

……

Time passed quietly as the villagers were busy.

four Seasons.

Unlike the scientific time in the previous life, all four seasons come at the right time.

It was autumn that day.

Xia He, who had grown a lot taller, sat in a field full of rice ears, holding the newspaper handed to him by Minian in both hands, and read the recent news.

“The fishman adventurer Fisher attacked the Red Earth Continent, and many slaves were freed…”

Murloc adventurer?
Fisher?
Fisher Tiger?
It turned out to be the case.

Were the three Boa sisters liberated at this time?

“I just don’t know what the legendary empress looks like…” He muttered softly and then turned to the next page.

“The sea train has been initially completed and is expected to be put into operation within four years…”

Ok……

It is possible to build rails on the sea, allowing trains to run normally…

This black technology…

Even Xia He, who had experienced the era of technological explosion in the scientific world, still could not understand how this was done.

“If there is a chance in the future to be exposed to this technology, it would be great to allow me to conduct research myself.”
