Chapter 114
Kingdom of Alabastan, rainy land.
The Kingdom of Alabastan is very vast, but most of the areas are deserted, with 80% of its population concentrated in the oasis on both sides of the Santola River.
Sufficient water sources, dense populations, and convenient water transportation have made the riverside cities around the Santola River extremely prosperous, and are the economic center of the Kingdom of Alabastan.
The rain land, known as the "Dream City", is a pearl in the Santa Rola River Basin and a hub of the kingdom's economic artery.
Without considering political and historical factors, Yudi is more qualified to be a capital of a country from any perspective than Albana, which lives in the royal family.
But what's ridiculous is:
Yudi, an extremely important economic center city, was occupied and operated by the sand crocodile Clockdale as its base camp, and became an independent kingdom that was not under the jurisdiction of the royal family.
As the king, Cobra not only did not take any action on this, but instead followed the public opinion to regard Clockdal as a hero to protect Alabastan, which further encouraged Clockdal's arrogance.
Under the careful management of Clockdal, the people of the Rainland no longer knew that the King Alabastan was on their heads, but only knew that the King of the Seven Warriors who had always "protected" them.
However, the Rainland Lord Clockdal was not very happy at this moment.
According to Galen and Vivi's plan, after they arrived in Alabastan, they should rush to Albana, the capital of the kingdom, as soon as possible, and then inform King Cobra, who was still in the dark about the fact that the sand crocodile steals the country.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. The sand crocodile falling from the sky caused the hostile sides to enter a face-to-face state, and the existence of Hawkeye and Garen's performance fell into a delicate stalemate.
For Clockdal, the situation is much more embarrassing.
It's neither fighting nor running, so I have to stalemate with Garen in a confused manner.
With his unyieldingness, he would not admit that he was here to attack Garen but stopped.
Clockdal would only act like he was not angry and arrogant, staring at Garen with a cold look, and then avoid talking about his purpose.
In order to break the embarrassing situation and to have a careful contact with this opponent who was beyond his expectations, Clockdal simply invited Garen as the host, and asked the East China Sea Knight to take a break in his base camp for a while.
Then, something that made Clockdal feel bad happened.
In the past, when he walked alone on the streets of rainy land, he would always receive countless worship and longing gazes from citizens of rainy land.
Although Clockdal actually didn't care about the foolish people's views on him at all, the reputation of this kingdom hero was the basis of his plan to steal the country and the perfect character he had to carefully maintain.
But today, there was an annoying guy who gained his reputation after hard work.
When the Dauntless Battleship War Knife landed in the Yudi Port, its huge size first attracted the attention of many Yudi citizens.
After the people above walked down, the citizens became more excited and enthusiastic.
I saw three people walking with their heads raised in front of the large-scale team:
First, it is Clockdal, the kingdom hero worshipped by the people of Rainland;
Secondly, an eagle-eyed swordsman holding a black knife.
As the most famous man in the Seven Warlords Sea, anyone with a little insight can recognize this famous world's number one swordsman.
The two kings walked side by side in the Seven Warriors Sea, attracting attention wherever they went.
The men who are qualified to walk with these two strong men naturally gained countless curious or awe-inspiring eyes.
"Who is that man?"
"I don't know, but the armor on his body is so handsome!"
"I guess I'm also a hero with great strength when I can walk with Lord Clockdal!"
The people whispered and kept discussing Garen's identity.
And there are always some insiders among these people:
After all, Galen is also a famous overlord in the big seas, and his external shape is very unique and conspicuous. His name has also been on the newspapers of the Great Channel with Comrade Clown who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.
Garen, who was not famous on the great channel, became the focus of attention of the citizens of the rainy land with his reputation as a sand crocodile in the rainy land and the reputation of Hawkeye all over the world. It took only a dozen minutes to make his reputation famous.
Clockdal expressed his shame for Garen's behavior of riding on popularity.
What made him feel even more shameless was:
Behind Galen, there were several accompanying reporters holding precious image bugs, faithfully recording the scene of Galen, the East China Sea knight, and the two kings, walking side by side, chatting and laughing.
After the reporter took the appropriate image, he sent the information to a newspaper hosted by Wallace, Donghai, on the spot through a special remote communication peripheral.
Clockdal immediately figured out why the Donghai poster sent by intelligence personnel mentioned Galen and was full of praise that made people feel tingling in their scalp. It turned out that this guy was just a hype expert who brought his own journalist newspaper.
"Awesome!"
Clockdal sighed silently in his heart.
Compared to Galen's shameless propaganda technique, his method of catching a few pirates to publicly execute citizens is too rough and inefficient.
He worked hard for so long but could only barely control the public opinion of a country, while Galen made his good reputation throughout the East China Sea in just three months.
It was only less than thirty minutes to walk from Rainland Port to the hotel arranged by Clockdal for Galen.
But in just half an hour, Galen became a journalist who was passed down by the citizens of the Rainland, leaving a deep impression of "the friend of the great hero Clockdal, a strong man who is on the same level as the Seven Warriors Sea."
So when the group walked to the magnificent hotel, Clockdal's face was already as gloomy as ink.
"You can stay here first!"
Clockdal stared at Garen with a vicious look with a face that wanted to eat people.
"Tomorrow, I want to talk to you about something in person."
After saying that, Clockdal immediately left Garen and his group and turned away. He didn't know which corner he ran to to vent his embarrassment and depression along the way since the attack on board the ship.
"It's still a big city!"
Garen was not at all aware of being targeted by a Seven Warriors Sea. Instead, the old god admired the residence he was staying at.
Unlike the traditional architecture of the Royal City of Goya, which is rich in history and based on purity and nobility, this hotel combines the cultural style of the desert kingdom and the craze for money in the casino rain land. The design and decoration are extremely luxurious and commercial.
This hotel where two rows of hot desert girls are placed as welcome guests, and they almost put their money on the wall for decoration is undoubtedly the best place for the rich to be indulged in luxury and to spend time and to have a lot of money.
Galen has experienced the richness of the Cliff nouveau riche and the elegance of the old nobles of the Goa Kingdom, but has not yet been corrupted by capitalism.
So he pushed open the hotel door with great interest and prepared to enjoy this trip of sugar-coated cannonballs arranged by his archenemy Sand Crocodile.
Princess Vivi, who shoulders the responsibility of family and country, cannot be as heartless as Galen. She has been tense since the sand crocodile boarded the ship, and has never relaxed the slightest warning from beginning to end.
Wei Wei grabbed Garen who walked into the hotel with Dalala, and whispered in his ear:
"Galen?"
"This is Clockdal's base camp! Are we really going to stay in the rain?"
“No problem.”
Garen's expression was still relaxed and calm:
"If he dares to do it, he would have done it on the boat before."
As he said that, Garen subconsciously cast his eyes on Hawkeye Mihawk, who was carrying a black knife.
With this top strong man by his side, how could he be afraid of Clockdal, who is just the last rank of the Seven Warriors?
Before, Galen agreed to Clockdal's invitation at once. In addition to being confident that he could save his life in front of this half-baked Seven Warlords Sea, a large part of the reason was Mihawk's words, "With me here, you can't kill him."
Such a domineering declaration and such a tough protection were so touched that Garen wanted to call Mihokner and called him elder brother.
At this time, Hawkeye Mihawk also felt Garen's gaze.
He gently examined the magnificent hotel lobby in front of him, frowned slightly with his sharp eyebrows like a sword, and then said to Garen:
"I'll leave first."
