Chapter 143 143. The Story of Rainbow Island

"There was once a team full of goods and tourists preparing to go near the maelstrom, but they unfortunately encountered a sudden huge storm. When the storm ended, the survivors found themselves falling onto a floating island. The ship was broken and only the remaining We bought some goods, but fortunately the island itself also has abundant resources, and people built villages here to recuperate.”

"The tourists on the ship originally came from various places, including rich people and officials, soldiers and crew members, civilians and stowaways. But when they are in trouble, their social identities lose their meaning. In the wilderness full of dangers, no one will care. People will only see what you can do based on what you were.”

"At the beginning, many people still had hope, thinking that this was just a small island wandering in the vast sea of ​​clouds. There would always be other ships passing by, rescuing them and allowing them to return to the civilized world."

"But days, months, and years have passed, and no one has seen any ships passing by. Everyone can only see that at the end of the skyline, there is a dark curtain, which seems to block everything. Some people guess that it is far away Some people say it is the real land, and some even think it is the end of the world.”

"It wasn't until many years later that the people who lived here organized a voyage. They made aeroboats out of wood and carried dried squirrel meat, water, and fruits from the island to explore the way out. Only then did people discover that the black The curtain is just a storm."

"There are storms in all directions."

"Hongdao is in the eye of an unimaginably huge storm. With their current technology, they can't get through the storm and go outside the world. Everyone is trapped here."

"Occasionally, goods fall from the sky, and some are lucky enough to be picked up by people instead of falling into the sea of ​​clouds, just like this book."

"People tried several times and paid a painful price before finally understanding that the storm was insurmountable."

"After that, people gave up hope of leaving and settled down completely on Hongdao. They cultivated fields, raised animals, drove aerostats to catch creatures swimming in the sea of ​​clouds, built houses with straw, got married, raised children, and grew old. , death, just like this, more than a hundred years have passed. "

"This is the story of Rainbow Island."

Noah's eyes lost focus, as if what he just said was not a memory passed down by word of mouth, but came from what he saw with his own eyes.

The two girls sitting in front of him were both lost in thought. For them, whether they were in trouble, were rescued, or entered a secret realm from which they could not escape, these were facts that were difficult to digest.

"Don't worry, I also came through the storm. Since I can enter here, it means I can definitely get out. As an experienced adventurer, I will definitely take you two out of this ghost place."

Captain Isaac wanted to subconsciously pat their shoulders to encourage them, but suddenly he cared about something and withdrew his hand halfway, pretending to clear his throat.

"Captain, how many years have you been here?"

Qiao Mu asked like a curious primary school student.

"Ahem, that's not the point. I'm just planning it. You know, heroes never fight unprepared battles. Even General Oak will make complete preparations before planning a surprise attack."

Captain Isaac looked away and thought of asking something again.

"By the way, since the two ladies are from outside, do you know what happened to General Oak? Has the Revolutionary Army achieved the final victory and hung the flag in the square outside the Maelstrom? I really hope they can put it My photo is also placed next to it, oh, no, that’s a bad sign, so forget it.”

After hearing what Captain Isaac said, the black-haired girl Shida glanced at the dark-blond girl Enya next to her.

Enya noticed her companion's gaze. She looked at Captain Isaac and then spoke after careful consideration.

"If it's the Oak general I know, he surrendered three years ago."

"ah?"

Captain Isaac opened his mouth wide in disbelief, and then said sadly.

"That's right. I should know that even with people like General Oak, we are still too weak."

"No, he surrendered simply and even asked the government to get him an island and let him be the governor there."

Enya told the truth without mercy.

"ah?"

Captain Isaac's eyes widened. The shocking fact made him unable to understand, and his mind went blank.

"But what about the others, the others who followed General Oak?"

He asked as if he didn't want to believe it.

"Some of them surrendered with him, and some who were unwilling to surrender were eventually defeated and tried."

Enya replied without thinking and added another sentence.

"To be honest, he is very shrewd. As a person who started out as an ordinary soldier, it is not easy to reach that position. If he continues to resist, what awaits him will only be trial and death. He happens to be at that point that both parties can accept. Surrendering might even make people think that this was his initial appeal.”

Qiao Mu felt that Captain Isaac was now like a hedgehog in the mud, with thorns all over his body.

".Impossible, impossible, how could General Oak be such a person? His speech was obviously so enthusiastic. He led everyone to fight against the brutal government forces."

Captain Isaac felt like his world view was shattered.

"If your desire to leave here is to find General Oak, then I advise you to give up. If you continue to shout about the revolutionary army outside, you may be arrested and beheaded."

The black-haired girl Shida said lightly and jokingly.

"Besides, I've never heard of any Captain Isaac around him, you know, they make lists of rebels."

Enya made up for it.

".That's because, that's because, he might want to protect me."

Captain Isaac's voice trailed off until it was like the buzz of a mosquito.

Well, Qiao Mu doesn’t know if there are mosquitoes in Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

"It's okay, Captain. In fact, I already knew that you are not a big shot."

On the side, Noah, who had turned his head to read a book before, suddenly said.

"ah?"

Captain Isaac was stunned again.

"I have read a lot of books and know that there is not much truth in what you say. The frozen swirling clouds, the burning whales, the trees rooted in the real earth, and the trees taller than the sky, these things are all lies. "

Noah sighed.

Captain Isaac looked at the young man, then at the two girls, and suddenly became extremely embarrassed. If there was a gap in the ship now, he would probably get in immediately and never come out again.

"It's okay, Captain, I believe you."

Qiao Mu patted his shoulder.

"You believe me?"

Captain Isaac was a little moved.

"Of course, I have also seen bands marching in the red mist, moving amusement parks in the wasteland, and capitalists hanging from street lamps."

Qiao Mu replied matter-of-factly.

"ah?"

Captain Isaac made a questioning sound.
