Chapter 129 Insect Tamer
Chapter 129 Insect Tamer
The saying goes, "If Huang Chao hadn't come, you would have eaten me; if Huang Chao had come, he would have eaten you and me." It's true that Torumekia brought profound disasters to this country, but the previous royal families also caused them no small amount of harm!
So Asbel was also driven out by them; otherwise, a prince of the country wouldn't have gone to fight Kushana all by himself.
The resistance wasn't formed when Dorumechia invaded; it existed even when Pejit was still alive, though it wasn't as large.
The soldiers of Torumechia have failed, but the royal family is going to take back the throne. Isn't this just going back to the way things were?
Of course, Liu Yufei was unaware of all this. Early the next morning, Liu Yufei arrived at a mine. The insect trainers had long since left, and Liu Yufei had now taken over the entire place.
At this moment, Liu Yufei looked at the huge chunk of flesh in front of him, its veins and muscles still throbbing from time to time.
"Young Master, is this the biological weapon you wanted?"
"No, he doesn't belong to me yet, I'm just looking!!"
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the colossus's massive head, and the colossus seemed to be sentient, its enormous eyes slowly opening, startling Sivir.
"Don't worry, it's just the baby moving!"
"Ah! Fetal movement?"
"Hmm! The current Colossus is still just an infant. Its neural network has not yet been activated, and it doesn't have enough nutrients."
"Should we take this big guy back to Laputa?"
"I already said it doesn't belong to me! What would we need this thing for?"
The main problem is that the Colossus is currently missing its most important core and cannot be officially awakened. It is also estimated that Laputa's technology is insufficient to dissect the Colossus's power.
Laputa's technology tree is only more advanced than this world's, but it's definitely not as powerful as the ancient world! After all, in terms of destructive power, Laputa is far inferior in terms of destroying the world within seven days.
Actually, Liu Yufei never intended to control the Giant Soldier from the beginning. It was more like a vacation! He thought he was just playing a game. Isn't the point of playing a game to enjoy the storyline?
"Seal off this area and don't move for now. He'll wait for someone who can wake him up!!"
According to the original story, Pejite should eventually be conquered by the Earth Demon Kingdom, and the Giant Warrior will become their spoils of war. Of course, whether they want it now depends on whether Liu Yufei will give it to them.
After returning to the ground, Liu Yufei did not receive the information he wanted. The rebels had taken the food but showed no intention of surrendering, which frustrated Liu Yufei.
The main problem was that Sivir mocked him! Liu Yufei knew he wasn't suited for political maneuvering, and he was self-aware enough to react dramatically.
"Okay, stop laughing, what should we do?"
Before Sivir could speak, the captain beside her said:
"Young Master, I'll take the guards over there!"
"Go away, go away! You can think of that, but how could I not? We, the Laputans, came to Pejit with hope and peace, not with war! We are no longer bandits, you know?"
Seeing Liu Yufei's hypocritical appearance, Sivir covered her mouth and laughed, which immediately made Liu Yufei angry.
"Stop laughing, what's so funny? It's just a diplomatic failure, right? Don't let that girl know about this!"
It's okay to lose face in front of Sivir, but not in front of Rastelle. Sivir, however, still smiled and said:
"Young Master, Laputa doesn't need to intervene. Don't we still have the Torumekians here? That way, it's none of Laputa's business!"
"What do you mean? To let Dorumechia's prisoners fight the rebels? Is that even possible?"
"Of course! Leave this to me!"
Liu Yufei was initially suspicious, but then seeing the determined look in Sivir's eyes, he was immediately filled with fear. This setup was definitely bugged! "You're a babysitting robot, you know that? Why are you so belligerent?"
After saying that, Sivir went out first, leaving Liu Yufei to watch over the captain.
"You better watch your step from now on, you hear? That woman doesn't seem like a decent human being!!"
The captain tilted his head and looked at Liu Yufei, saying:
"Young Master, are you talking about Sivir? He's someone you..."
"Forget it, you wouldn't understand anyway. Just don't live with her anymore, and be comfortable with yourself!"
Liu Yufei regarded the captain more as a friend than a subordinate, except that this friend wasn't very bright—just like the silly son in the dormitory.
Just how advanced was the technology of the ancient world of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind? You can tell from the enormous shell in the mining town that it is a spaceship many times larger than Laputa.
Judging from the size of this spaceship, it should be a spaceship, which means that the ancient times already had the ability to explore interstellar space.
Since the extinction of the ancient era, this spaceship has been destroyed by time. Not to mention the spaceship, haven't those giant warriors also become piles of fossils?
The mining town became famous for mining porcelain from the spaceship wreckage, making it a bustling hub for merchants and ensuring its prosperity for centuries. It's as vibrant as the Valley of the Gentle Breeze.
At that moment, in a tavern, Yuba was eating scones and drinking some kind of wine.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any spaceships heading to the Sea of Decay?!"
The shopkeeper was a fat man, and since he was doing business here, it was common for him to encounter江湖人 (jianghu people) like Yuba. He then smiled and said:
"Guest, forget about the Corrupted Sea, all the ships have gone to deliver supplies to Torumekia!"
Of course, it wasn't requisitioned. After all, the mining town was made up of merchants, and if the price was right, everyone would naturally be willing to do business with the kingdom.
Yuba was immediately somewhat dejected, then looked out the window where a spaceship was docked. Before Yuba could speak, the boss knew his intention and immediately leaned closer and whispered:
"Lord Yuba, those are not respectable people!!"
The shopkeeper had clearly recognized him, but that's how people in the underworld are! Just as Yuba was about to ask, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a group of masked men carrying rifles rushed in.
"Boss, some food, please..."
"Damn it, what's wrong with you guys? Do you think you can just walk in here? Get out of here right now!!"
The people who can run a tavern here are no ordinary people. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, the owner immediately picked up the rifle next to him.
"Get out of here! Get outside!!"
Most people would have just drawn their guns and started shooting in this situation, but the two who came in seemed to be used to it. They pulled three gold coins from their pockets with thick gloves and said:
"We're waiting outside... Hurry up!!"
Yuba immediately noticed that the two were using gold coins from the Earth Demon Kingdom. Why were these two so cowardly? There was a reason: these two were insect tamers.
In this world, the profession of insect trainer is at the very bottom of the social hierarchy. First, their work is dangerous, with the risk of death at any moment. Second, the profession of insect trainer is an employment-based job, so there are no ethical standards! Even the lowest-ranking technicians would serve such guests, let alone a respectable tavern like theirs.
"Hahaha, everyone, eat and drink, don't worry, if they come in again, I'll shoot those bastards!!"
The owner immediately apologized to the other customers, while his waiter used a rag to pick up the gold coins scattered on the floor with the money box. A young girl behind them muttered curses.
"Dad, I'm not sending them any! You send them yours!"
As he spoke, he picked up the wine jar and poured wine for the customers next to him. The owner, also angrily, said:
"Alright, alright, isn't this annoying enough? These bastards..."
Yuba, however, saw this as a good opportunity and immediately stood up and said;
"Then I'll go!"
"Ah! My lord, you..."
"Don't worry, I deal with them all the time!"
Yuba was right; he had traveled extensively and knew a thing or two about insect trainers. Seeing someone stepping forward, the shopkeeper was happy to have some peace and quiet and immediately started serving drinks.
Seeing that there was less than half a jar of wine left, Yuba couldn't help but complain:
"Three gold coins, and that's all you're giving us?"
"Hehehe, that's their going rate!!"
"Haha, look at me! Give me a pork chop!!"
"Sir, it's you too!! These guys, hmph!!"
It's clear how unpopular insect trainers are. Yuba, seeing this, stopped arguing and went out with his wine and meat. Meanwhile, something happened outside.
The two failed to bring back the food and were being beaten and kicked by their boss.
"Useless! You can't even handle this simple task, and you got kicked out!! I..."
The scene below is centered on the two women's mothers and extends to their ancestors. The women are being greeted warmly by their superiors, while the insect trainers standing by dare not speak out in anger, and no one comes forward to mediate the fight.
Yuba didn't interfere. Only after his superior had vented and left did Yuba step forward and place the wine jar and meat rack in front of the two men.
"My boss asked me to deliver this!!"
"Ah! Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
They knew their boss wouldn't be so polite, so after thanking him, they pulled off their masks and began to eat heartily. Since their boss had treated them so well earlier, they naturally wouldn't be thinking about him now!
The insect trainer who had been watching the show rushed over immediately, and then Zhuojiu began eating what he was holding. Yuba, however, smiled and said:
"There are still chops grilling, it's on me. You're all insect trainers, right? Actually, I was an insect trainer when I was younger, but unfortunately I didn't have the talent!"
"Pah! This is what you call talent? If it weren't for the money, who would want to do this?!"
That's how the world is; as long as there's wine, there are friends. Yuba casually added:
"Looks like you're heading to the Sea of Decay! I'm waiting for a ship, could you give me a ride?"
As he spoke, his gaze drifted towards the inside of the spaceship, startling the two so much that they forgot to eat and immediately stepped forward to stop him:
"No, absolutely not! Don't look at that! Someone could die!"
"You didn't see anything, did you! You're a good person, we don't want to drag you into this!! Hurry up and leave!!"
"Yeah! Oh no, that bastard's here!!"
It turned out to be the superior who had gone up earlier, now back down. Yuba tactfully walked away. Seeing that the insect trainers were already eating, the man immediately cursed:
"You bunch of bastards, you only bought this little bit of stuff? Who was that guy just now?"
"Ah! Captain, they're bringing food!"
"Delivering food? Damn, the food delivery guy is dressed so stylishly!"
At this moment, everyone on board came down. While they were eating, Yuba went to the back of the spaceship, jumped up, found a window at the top, and jumped in.
