Chapter 203 The Gift That Can't Be Rejected(1/2)
"hometown?!
"
The moment he heard this, Empad immediately became energetic and looked at Gawain with hopeful eyes.
"You mean, you allow us to live back in our hometown, the Island of Gods?"
Having said this, Empard's eyes shone with great anticipation.
At the same time, the eyes of all the surrounding tribesmen, including Lucky and Aisha, also lit up fiercely.
The reason why they have been fighting the Sky Islanders for four hundred years, and the reason why they have hid in such a secret place, is that they will not give up even if there are only a few thousand people left.
What they want is to recapture that piece of land in the sky, that is, half of Gaya Island that was washed up into the sky!
Could it be that at this moment, the latest ruler of Sky Island is willing to hand over that land?!
Thinking like this, Empad looked at Gawain with great excitement, but facing Empad's expectant eyes, Gawain just shook his head calmly.
"To be precise, I don't want you to go back to that island.
I want to return that island to its original place!"
Having said this, Gawain raised his hand and pointed to the sky-high vines in the distance that could be clearly seen even though they were hundreds of kilometers apart.
That is the direction of the Island of Gods.
Thousands of years ago, a magical pea vine suddenly appeared on the empty island.
The vine grew rapidly, reaching a height of tens of thousands of meters in just a few years.
Therefore, this vine, which is hundreds of meters thick, is also regarded by Sky Island people as a blessing from gods to Sky Island.
Of course, after listening to Rayleigh talking about the records in the historical text, Gawain always felt that the vine on Sky Island might have been planted by Nika's gang.
Don’t they claim to plant trees all over the world? There is also a magical seed and fruitless vine on Nakhon Island. Isn’t this normal?
Maybe it’s one of those holy trees that failed to be planted!
As for why Gaya Island is called the Island of Gods?
This brings up an interesting thing.
Four hundred years ago, after Gaya Island was rushed into the sky by the soaring sea current, it drew an arc and hit the vine of God on the empty island!
You see, a piece of land suddenly fell on the vines of God. In the eyes of the Sky Island people, isn't this land that passes through the vines the land given to them by God?
In this way, Kongdao, which had been at peace for countless years, was completely plunged into the war between Sandia and the Sky Islanders. In fact, the source of all conflicts on Kongdao was actually concentrated on that land!
With this thought in mind, Gawain pointed to the vines in the distance and said leisurely.
"Empard, have you forgotten where your roots are?
Your country, your tribe, and your history and culture are all on Gaya Island, and even more so in the golden city of Gaya Island!
The soaring ocean currents carried you to the island in the sky, so you were displaced and lost your hometown.
For Sky Island, the sudden appearance of the land not only allowed them to witness the so-called holiness, it also gave them ambition.
So, I just want to do one thing now.
If God really sent your hometown, half of Gaya Island, into the sky.
Then I will inform God that I will not let Him get what he wants!"
At this point, Gawain's deep pupil was firmly nailed in front of Empard's eyes.
"As for today, the reason why I came to your tribe.
Not only because I want to give you a gift, but actually I am here to send you a notice.
Soon, I will move half of Gaya Island where the Golden City and the Golden Bell are located out of the empty island!
Wherever this half of the island disappears, I will make it reappear!
And you, no matter whether you accept my gift or not, and whether you are willing to follow Gaya Island back to the Grand Route.
"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"
In short, Gaya Island is about to leave Sky Island, so you should try your best to prepare!"
After speaking, Gawain finally nodded to Empard, and then he turned to leave.
But before Gawain could turn around, Weipa, the contemporary great warrior of Sandia not far away, shouted at Gawain.
"So, aren't you still doing what God does? You don't give us any choice at all!
Sandola is our holy city, our hometown after four hundred years of absence!
If he is really going to be sent back to the sea by you, then of course as the descendants of Sandora, we must leave Sky Island together with Gaya Island!
Is this really your choice?!
"
"oh?"
Hearing Weipa's words, Gawain showed a knowing smile. He gently pointed at Weipa's chest and said with a smile.
"Weipa, when did I say I would give you a chance to choose?
I have already said that I just want to give you a gift, and this gift is the opportunity for you to return to Gaya Island.
But maybe I missed a sentence, so I’ll add it now.”
I saw Gawain speaking to Weipa word by word.
"Do you think... anyone has the right to refuse my gift?"
After the words fell, Gawain laughed leisurely, and then he gently patted the shoulder of Weipa, who had a stunned look on his face.
"Just like you, Weipa, you know?
Because your hometown was washed up on an empty island, the great adventurer Rolando was called the world's biggest liar. He was beheaded by his king, and his story of deceiving the world was also regarded as a lie by people all over the world.
Come and listen to fairy tales and jokes!
And just before I landed on Sky Island, Rolando's descendants were still waiting on the remaining half of Gaya Island!
He desperately went into the sea to explore, and this exploration lasted a lifetime!
What do you think he is for? He has been treated coldly by countless people, and he is called the descendant of a liar by everyone.
Do you think he does it for the gold? Haha, he just does it to hear the sound of the golden bell ringing across the sea again, and to let the whole world know that Sandora really exists!"
Having said this, Gawain chuckled and looked into Weipa's eyes. At this moment, Weipa's eyes were full of disbelief.
He opened his mouth sadly, hesitating for a long time but unable to make a sound.
It wasn't until more than ten seconds passed that Weipa slowly muttered.
"Rolando's... descendants, are they still waiting?"
"Then you have to see it yourself. It's useless for me to tell you!"
Gawain shook his head and said to Weipa, and then he looked at the other thoughtful tribesmen.
Facing them, Gawain slightly raised his voice and continued.
"Except for the descendants of Rolando, do you know what Gaya Island has become at this moment?
After the golden land you were waiting for disappeared, Gaya Island completely turned into a paradise for scammers!
Then starting from liars, pirates, human traffickers, killers, gangsters, countless bastards have completely occupied your hometown, their number even exceeds one hundred thousand!
In the past, when Rolando's travel notes were published, even if he was mistaken as a liar, people understood through his story that Sandora is a land of gold!
But now, haha, when everyone in the world mentions Gaya Island, they all know that it is an extremely evil place where even good dogs are not willing to stay!
You used to be the guardians of the Golden City. You not only have a glorious past, but you should also have a future that is praised all over the world.
But now, your honor has completely disappeared into the vast sea along with the four hundred years since you left!
The glory of the guardian, the glory of Sandora, those things have all been completely obliterated by the terrifying environment of Gaya Island today!
Those are all the efforts of your ancestors. Are you really willing to continue to be trapped in the empty island and continue to step your ancestors into the dust and mud?
!”
The moment Gawain finished speaking, the surrounding residents of Shandia were in an uproar, and they couldn't help but start whispering among themselves.
However, Gawain paid no attention to their whispers. Gawain turned his head and continued to speak to the great chief Empad.
"But you can rest assured that Gaya Island is no longer a dangerous place. Before I landed on Sky Island, I did a little to deal with the problem of Gaya Island!
Do you know how I handled it?"
Gawain turned into thunder in a blink of an eye and moved near the chief. Then he patted Chief Empad on the shoulder and said softly.
"I killed every one of them, about 120,000 people."
After the words fell, Gawain ignored the shocked chief and squatted directly next to Aisha.
"And little Aisha, don't you want to see the butterflies fluttering among the flowers? There are many in your hometown.
To be continued...
