Chapter 77 Gold Placer
Chapter 77 Gold Placer
Peter and Jason were running around in the forest with Silver Branch. One thought he was Spider-Man, a superhuman with five sensitive senses and great power, and he would definitely be able to get out. The other thought he had brought the most advanced Luofu Jade Sign and was a pioneer in technology, so anything would be a piece of cake.
But the spider's sensitive five senses cannot distinguish the lush jungle that is almost identical. Advanced technology tells Jason to stop, Ah Hong, because there are mercenaries outside.
It was not until the smoke from the cooking stove rose up that the three men returned to their original place dejectedly. Except for the silver branch which was still shining, the other two were covered with dead branches and leaves. Peter carefully picked a black spider from his pants and gently put it back on the web that he had ruthlessly trampled.
"Good morning, everyone in the Grayson family." Gold Dust said to them.
Yinzhi finally saw the true face of the kind-hearted man whom he couldn't see clearly in the dark yesterday. His pure beauty radar was triggered, and he started to praise him as usual.
"...Haha, no, no, you are really good at talking, Mr. Yinzhi, there are many people in this world who hate these eyes."
It's scary that the Evikin man who calls himself Kakawasha can actually have a conversation with Yinzhi.
He has golden hair and a pair of beautiful colored eyes. Different colors are distributed in rings on his eyeballs. They are so gorgeous that people can't help but wonder if they will fall into the sweet trap of the Evikin if they stare at them for too long.
As famous as those eyes is the discrimination and prejudice against the Ewekin people that has been passed down from generation to generation:
A born liar, thief, and socialite.
At first, this prejudice only came from within the Gypsies, as other clans excluded the Evites because of their natural beauty and high emotional intelligence. However, it gradually intensified and eventually became a shackle for the entire race.
It feels good to spread rumors, but it ends up in the crematorium afterwards.
Fortunately, among the three people present, one was an alien, one was a Rover, and the only normal one was Peter, a good boy. He knew how to break down prejudices and was grateful to Kakavasia for being willing to lend a helping hand in that situation.
"Mr. Kakavasa, where are you going with your caravan? The Evikin people live in tribes, so why are you the only one here?"
Peter asked curiously. He was not a fool. After figuring out what extraordinary thing he was carrying, his vigilance was higher than ever before.
Shajin smiled lazily. He was really handsome. Even with such a frivolous attitude, his face was pleasing to the eye.
"Of course, it's to go to the next rally. Every once in a while, we Evijin people will gather together to share the joy and gains we have made during this period of time."
Jason breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally found the other party's details from the database, but he was obviously too relieved too early. The results that appeared made him more worried:
"Don't fool me, Mr. Shajin. You are a well-known company executive, dealing in billions of dollars worth of business. Why are you messing around with these two?"
Peter and Yinzhi moved closer to Jason calmly. Three against one, the advantage is on me!
What a big advantage! If Jason knew what Peter was thinking, he would definitely complain like this. Sha Jin is a rich man who can share the power, while the rest of us are just begging for food in our own destinies, and one of us doesn't even have a destiny.
Although he didn't know the upper limit of Yinzhi's strength, his intuition told Jason that when facing a boss like this who could give him authority, he had to be timid when necessary.
"The company and Luofu have a strategic partnership. Are we going to break the treaty for a small Jianmu fruit?"
"So what can you do now? Ranger, you don't think that you three can challenge the foundation of the company?"
Sha Jin looked at Jason. He didn't make any threatening movements and still had that playful attitude of a man who played with the world. Although he wasn't wearing any fancy clothes, the ordinary traditional Evikin clothing looked like some silk or satin to him.
It's hard to believe that such a seemingly naturally wealthy guy was once a lowly slave.
Jason could only come up with one omen:
"At this critical moment, I'm afraid neither you nor I can dominate the people behind the scenes. Mr. Shajin, this is a special channel to connect with Luofu. After going through such a big circle, it's not just for a small fruit, right?"
"I like talking to smart people," Shajin snapped his fingers. "Luofu is a powerful force that patrols the entire universe. It's easy for them to give face to a small merchant like me. It's worth my efforts to rescue you."
Alas, young people just can't keep their cool and reveal their cards too early, but it won't bring them any benefits:
"Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss if you make a deal with me."
Peter: It was nothing at first, but after hearing this, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine. Spider sense, help me!
In the silent forest, there was a clanging sound coming from far away. As if receiving some signal, caravans emerged from the jungle one after another. They surrounded the small open space and formed a temporary gathering place.
"What happened?" Yinzhi was a little confused. The customs of the earthlings were too complicated.
Gold Dust smiled, not that unpredictable and dangerous smile, but one that came from the heart: "I told you, we will have a party."
Evikins with different appearances got off the car one after another, but they all had beautiful golden hair and colorful eyes. The naturally handsome people gathered together, which made everyone's eyes light up.
Peter whispered to them, "Now I finally understand why some people would be jealous of the Evikins."
This race-specific natural appearance actually exists. How can other tribes with ugly looks survive?
"Kakawasha!"
"Our little Kakahuasha!"
People called out Sha Jin's name, they patted his shoulders affectionately and stroked his face. Children surrounded him and asked for candy, then ran away amid the adults' scolding. The originally empty plain was filled with laughter.
"Is everyone here?" Sha Jin asked in a low voice an elder who looked the oldest.
"Yes, we are all here." The old woman answered slowly. The tiring journey made her feel uncomfortable.
"Why don't I see Aunt Carmesita?"
"She passed away last month. She lived to an old age and returned to the embrace of the Mother Goddess. We all know that you were carrying out an important project at that time, Kakawashia."
The old man's voice was low and hoarse, with a strange accent, but Sha Jin listened very carefully. A solemn atmosphere isolated the two of them from the crowd, and the heavy and cruel history lingered in the shadows.
The Triple-eyed Earth Mother Goddess is a national belief that evolved among the Avikin people during their long history of wandering. At least according to the encyclopedia introduction provided by the company, this deity has nothing to do with the Star Gods.
Peter suddenly realized that the people present were the last Ewekin people in the world. Whether it was the hundreds of years of persecution by European countries or the brutal genocide by the Nazis during World War II, the number of Ewekin people had been gradually decreasing.
He had heard that when the population of a nation drops below a certain critical point, the tribe will irreversibly decline and eventually disappear.
Has the number of Evikins reached a critical point? Peter had some guesses in his mind.
But history is irreversible. It was not until the company brought civilization to that wild area and completely abolished slavery that the Evikin people were completely liberated. As for how much effort Sha Jin put into it, I am afraid only he himself knows the answer.
"So they need Luo Fu's help. Sha Jin's position is too high, and there are too many people eyeing him. The speed at which he climbed up affected the interests of too many people, and the Market Development Department is his mortal enemy."
Jason explained in a low voice.
He originally wanted to report it to Luo Fu. After all, it was too much for a company executive with a cornerstone to force three young people. However, his sentimental and righteous heart was in great pain, and he uncontrollably said a lot of good things to Sha Jin.
The Evik family is like a bunch of flowers that are about to wither. Although beautiful, they only last for a moment. The miracle of the gold dust seems to be some kind of gift, but it is more like a mockery. This gift seems to have exhausted the fate of the Evik family, and there is only the end from now on.
Yinzhi happily mingled among this group of Evik people. He learned the weaving techniques of handicrafts from them, and then shared his experiences in the universe. As an alien who had no idea of the cause and effect, he was probably the only guy who enjoyed the gathering.
To the three's surprise, this gathering was very short, only one day and one night. It was as if everyone came from all over the world just to see each other, to make sure that their loved ones were still alive, and then to embark on their own journeys until the next time the birds brought the message of reunion.
The next morning, the people gathered here began to pack their bags. No one cried for the departure, only a faint sadness lingered over the camp.
"Where are they going?"
Sitting in the caravan of the strange Evijin people, Yinzhi couldn't help but ask. In order to cover up their tracks, all the caravans would set out at the same time. This was a righteous act of the Evijin people to help Luofu, and would surely be remembered by Luofu.
"They have to look for traces of their past wanderings and compile them into a book. No matter what the future holds for the Evikin clan, this history will always be proof of our existence."
The strange Evikin answered, his once handsome face now crossed by a hideous scar, and one of his eyes was gray and almost blind. The suffering he had experienced was presented to him in such a concrete way that the viewer could only express his sorrow in silence.
Jason sat on the edge of the caravan, looking at the gold sand standing there for a long time. He seemed to be looking at all the tribesmen, but also seemed to be looking at no one. Fate had given him suffering, but also brought him enough good luck to turn things around, requiring him to carry the hope of the tribe and never look back on the road of progress.
The bells of the caravan jingled, just like the Awekin ancestors walking on the land of Europe thousands of years ago. At that time, the world had no prejudice, and the Awekin people were traveling merchants who brought honey and herbs.
Soon, they walked out of the forest, and the wandering mercenaries had to disperse. They followed behind in twos and threes, and left after catching a glimpse of them in the caravan.
"Damn gypsies, the devil's running dogs!" The mercenaries shouted angrily, and some spat on the ground in disgust. These guys didn't have the courage to harass, but they were bold enough to discriminate behind their backs.
Yinzhi took off the hat on his head. His red hair was so dazzling that even the most fashionable hair dye in the company could not completely cover the original color. He could only use the hat and the dim carriage to cover it.
"Thank you for your help, brave and kind man. The Knight of the Order Silver Branch will always remember the deeds of the Evikin family."
Yinzhi said solemnly that perhaps with the publicity of this pure and beautiful knight, the reputation of the Evikin clan in the universe would not be as full of discrimination and oppression as it is on Earth today. However, given his belief in purity and beauty, he hoped that he would not be portrayed as Mary Sue.
The Avignon, whose eyes were even prettier than those of the average Mary Sue, thought so.
"It doesn't matter. Where are you going next?"
"Gotham."
Jason replied briefly that he wanted to use the port of Gotham to leave the continent, but on the premise that he could not be discovered by anyone.
