Chapter 1925 Crysis

The elephant man was stunned by the thunder that erupted when the giant palm bombarded the reef, and it took a long time to recover. He turned his head and looked at the young mage who remotely controlled the giant palm, with awe from the heart in his eyes.

Joan canceled "Mage Thundering Palm", followed his companions to the Elephant Man, and asked him about the situation on the island.

"Honorable Mr. Elephant Man, thank you for your rescue of our crew, what should we call you?" Captain Odysseus negotiated on behalf of everyone.

The Elephant Man can understand the lingua franca in the north of the New World, but he speaks it badly. There are a lot of indigenous dialects of the Elephant Man clan in his words. He folds his hands together and bows to Captain Odysseus guiltily.

"The name of Mr. Elephant Man is Danbo. He is a member of the patrol team on the island. He expresses his deep apologies to us for the accident just now."

Captain Odysseus tried to relay the Elephant Man's words, which immediately aroused Joan's doubts.

"Mr. Danbo saved Sinbad. We should be the ones to thank him. Why did he apologize to us instead? It doesn't make sense logically! Mr. Odysseus, are you sure Mr. Danbo really meant that?"

Mr. Captain blushed and said frankly in embarrassment: "In fact, I can only understand a small part of the local dialect used by Mr. Danbo. There are some words that I don't understand myself. I just guess the general intention."

Hailar shook his head speechlessly, then looked back at his companions: "Guys, now we need a more reliable translator."

Holden caressed the "translator ring" on his hand, tossed his hair casually, and showed a proud smile: "Miss Cai, when it comes to translation, we happen to have a professional here—"

"I'm coming! I'm coming!"

Before Mr. Poet could finish pretending to be coercive, the parrot Dolly jumped out impatiently, her mouth seemed to be hanging open, chirping and translating Danbo's words into a language that everyone could understand.

"Holden is right. When it comes to translating uncommon dialects, no one is more professional than Dolly, who has awakened the 'Smart Words' after enlightenment." Joan praised.

Holden opened his mouth, with an embarrassed expression on his face. He was embarrassed to correct Joan's misunderstanding, but also had to admit that Dolly's translation was very appropriate. He could only swallow his sulking breath and prevaricate it with a dry smile.

Comparing Dory's translation, Joan found that Captain Odysseus's report was correct, but lacked a lot of details, so it seemed inexplicable.

Danbo is indeed a militia of the elephant people. One of his daily missions is to patrol the lake to prevent the mutated bladderwort that grows concentrated in the center of the lake from being pushed by the wind and current to the shore and hurting tourists.

There have been some changes on the island recently. The number of foreign business travelers who come to Elephant Man Island for business and vacation has dropped sharply, and there are no tourists around the lake from morning till night.

Over time, Danbo unknowingly relaxed his vigilance, reducing his three patrols along the lake every morning, noon and evening to one patrol in the morning. Because of his slack at this moment, he failed to discover bladderwort floating to the lake as soon as possible, and he did not rush to remind the crew of the "Coral" who went to the island to collect fresh water to pay attention to safety. Realizing that something serious happened, he hurried to the rescue.

Although thanks to the blessing of "Old Man Sun", Sinbad and Robinson, who were captured by the mutated bladderwort, escaped from the predicament in the end, but this accident was caused by his negligence after all, and Danbo felt deeply guilty, so Repeatedly apologized to everyone and asked for their forgiveness—hands folded and bowed, which is the usual gesture of the Elephant people to apologize.

After hearing Danbo's words, everyone including Joan was deeply touched.

For what happened today, Sinbad and Robinson could only blame themselves for being careless, and Joan and the others didn't feel that Danbo needed to be responsible for it.

However, Danbo really thought that this was his mistake, and sincerely begged everyone to forgive him. He can only say that the moral standards between people are even greater than the differences in race and language.

Qiao An felt that perhaps only on isolated overseas islands that have not been influenced by modern civilization, can such simple and kind-hearted aborigines like Danbo grow up. Of course, he must also admit that not all the aborigines are "noble savages". Aren't there also ignorant, evil and even cannibalistic aborigines living on other islands in this sea area?

"Mr. Danbo, this is my second visit to Elephant Man Island. Compared with the last time I came, I obviously feel that the island has become deserted and depressed. I wonder if it has something to do with the 'change' you mentioned just now."

After Hailar finished speaking, he gave Dolly a wink. The clever parrot understood, and when Danbo answered a sentence, she immediately translated a sentence, and the simultaneous interpretation was impeccable.

The most famous specialty of Elephant Man Island is pepper, but this time the trouble happened in the pepper forest on the island.

Three months ago, a terrible monster drifted to the island with the ocean currents, settled in a hot spring in the forest, occupied the pepper forest, and used magic to make the thorns in the forest grow crazily, like countless heavy green barbed wire. The entire forest was blocked to prevent elephants from entering the forest to pick pepper.

The warriors of the Elephant people gathered together, slashed through the thorns and thorns with their swords, and finally opened up a road to the hot spring in the forest, intending to expel the tyrannical monster. However, as soon as they entered the forest, the road opened behind them was blocked The crazily growing poisonous thorns were blocked again.

In the end, no one survived the besieged crusade team. It is conceivable that all of them were killed by the monsters in the forest.

Faced with this severe situation, the elders of the Elephant Man clan realized that they could not fight against the monster with their own strength, so they had to stop the pepper trade, and at the same time inform the foreign merchants to take precautions, never approach the pepper forest, so as not to be hurt by the monster.

The news spread, causing great panic. The merchants who bought pepper learned of the crisis on the island and thought that the place was too risky and unprofitable, so they would no longer come to do business in the future.

And those tourists who came to the island for hot spring vacation were also scared away by the rumors of monsters in the forest.

Elephant Man Island has lost its two major economic sources of trade and tourism, and life is very difficult. The situation on the island is getting worse day by day, showing depression, so that the elders have already begun to discuss whether it is necessary to lead the tribe to go to sea in batches, and find another A secure home.

As the younger generation of Elephant Humans, Danbo is of course unwilling to give up the land of his ancestors to monsters, but he also knows that he has no ability to fight against monsters, and he feels very depressed.

After hearing Danbo's complaints, Audrey took off the string of golden holy emblems hanging around her neck, and showed them to Danbo and her companions.

"As you can see, the Elephants are followers of our Lord Pelor. As a paladin of the Sun God, I can't watch my fellow believers suffer but remain indifferent. monster!"
