Captain Ghost of Pirate

Chapter 165 Matt's Research

"Asylum?" Ethan was a little confused by the word, but he quickly realized, "You mean? You want me to keep floating this island in the sky?"

"That's right." The village head nodded, "Now the island has a large area, and only our village is left. Even if the island is put back on the sea, it is just a place where pirates patronize from time to time. It's just a day. Therefore, we want to beg you to be the guardian of our island of Vermejo."

Ethan understood what the village chief meant now. In fact, most of the islands in this world have a self-sufficient lifestyle. If it's just for living, it doesn't matter whether they communicate with the outside world or not.Therefore, they really want to continue to let their island float in the sky.

"This..." Ethan hesitated, after all, if he agreed, it meant that he would be responsible for everything on this island.

"We know this request is a bit excessive, but please listen to this old man." The village chief saw Yi Sen was embarrassed, so he hurriedly said, "Our island is located in the new world in the second half of the great sea route. If there is no powerful asylum, Just because the island has a rare plant like IQ, sooner or later we will end up being ruled by pirates like Shiji again."

"I know that what we can give you is limited, but we will do our best to enshrine you!" The village chief said in the end, his voice became lower and lower. Speaking of which, when he made this request, he really lacked confidence, after all This doesn't seem to be doing Ethan any favors.

The old man's words reminded Ethan that the plant named "IQ" on the island is really a magic weapon!He more than doubled his various attributes casually. Although the process is a bit risky, the risk can definitely be reduced through research!
Moreover, a floating base on an entire island... It makes sense when you think about it!
But before Ethan could express his opinion, Matt on the side interjected first.

"Cough, um...Master Ethan, can you allow me to say something?"

"Speak." Ethan's attitude towards the former subordinates of the Golden Lion was not as relaxed as it was towards the villagers.

"Well...it's like this, before you woke up, I also solicited some people's opinions..."

"Why?" Ethan teased, "You don't mean to say that there are many people here who don't want to leave, do you?"

"Haha, you are joking. After all, most of the scientists doing research here were kidnapped by Shiji, so of course they don't want to stay here. However, a small number of them still have nostalgia for this place. After all, This is where they've been doing research for many years, and the 'IQ' stuff is really good research."

"Don't talk too much nonsense, just tell the conclusion." Ethan said bluntly.

"Yes, under my lobbying, if you are willing to take over everything on this island, they are willing to stay here. Of course, the premise is that they are paid a salary and have a normal work and rest schedule." Matt bowed slightly .

This guy... Looking at Matt who leaned slightly, Ethan was a little surprised. He is indeed a talent... Even if he is not a scientist, he is also a good manager.

"So what about you?" Ethan asked with a sudden smile.

"Me? If you are willing to take over the island, of course I am willing to stay." Matt said.

Ethan looked at the eloquent Matt with some amusement. Since waking up, this guy is the person who impressed him the most in this hall. He always looks strategic and sharp, like a male peacock His own screen is completely open, generally attracting attention.

"I'm curious, when the Golden Lion Shiji was still alive, what position did you hold under him?" Ethan asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, just an ordinary, unknown researcher." Matt opened his empty hands and said with a helpless smile, "Although Golden Lion Shiji has great ambitions, I don't like his style of doing things very much. So, since I was kidnapped five years ago, I have never said a single word."

"So, you've said a lot more now... Then why do you like me?" Ethan asked again.

"Your arrangement. Your original arrangement was to let us all go and return the island to the villagers." Matt shook his head and said, "You have the same powerful strength as Golden Lion Shiji, and you also have the ability to control the island. ability, but you made a completely different choice from him, which is what I like about you."

The guards in the hall who were not familiar with Ethan originally looked at Ethan with fear in their eyes, but now under Matt's discussion, in addition to fear, there was also a trace of respect in their eyes .

"Don't give me a high hat." Ethan shook his head, "If I'm not mistaken, besides the scientists, you should also try to contact the guards, right?"

"Of course...not!" Matt raised his hand and let Pron out, "The guards are counted and lobbied by Captain Pron, except for some guards who are bored and afraid of you, there are still about 200 people Willing to stay here and accept your commander in chief."

Ethan looked at Matt, and felt more and more that this person was a smart person. When he spoke just now, he showed his sharpness and thought he had no choice but to recommend himself, so that he could pay attention to and remember him, but at this time, he took the initiative to Pushing another person out to separate himself from the guard, is it to prevent himself from being too wary and suspicious of him?

"Okay, actually, you don't have to worry about some inexplicable things." Ethan said such a sentence suddenly, which may be inexplicable to others, but Matt bowed deeply after hearing it.

"If I am willing to take over this island and ask you to help me lead the overall situation, tell me what you will do?" Ethan then asked Matt.

"If that's the case..." Matt laughed happily, then changed his mood, raised a finger and said seriously, "First of all, develop an antidote to alleviate the violent aggressiveness in the beasts, and when it succeeds, the whole island will After the antidote takes effect, some specially planted 'Daft Green' can be dismantled, allowing Vermaeu to restore its previous ecology."

As soon as his words came out, the villagers on the village head's side kept nodding their heads, and even an elderly woman hid behind her husband's back and wiped her tears quietly. The oppression and captive life 20 years ago are finally getting away from it. went!
"The second step is to plant IQ back to various parts of the island and expand the scale of cultivation." Matt raised his second finger, "IQ is a plant that does have unique research value. I have always thought that the research of the Golden Lion The direction is wrong, in my opinion, it has even surpassed the value of Devil Fruit!"

"Oh?" His words really shocked Ethan, but his face was still calm, "Go on."

"Yes!" Matt bowed slightly, then paced up and down the hall, "All along, the goal of the Golden Lion Shiji has been to cultivate powerful beasts through IQ and use them to destroy the world. In my opinion, It is a complete waste of the miraculous effect of IQ, what is its effect? ​​It is to accelerate the evolution process of creatures! It can not only act on animals, but also on humans!"

The villagers didn't know that Ethan had been injected with a high-purity IQ to evolve, so after hearing Matt's words, they all expressed disbelief and confusion.

"We have lived on this island for generations. Until 20 years ago, we have been taking IQ regularly, but there has never been any 'evolution'!" A middle-aged man among the villagers expressed his doubts.

"Indeed." Matt nodded, and then walked up to a young girl. "I was also puzzled at first, but until I got to know this with some villagers..."

He motioned for the girl to hand him his hand. The girl was a little shy, but she passed her hand anyway.

Ethan watched this somewhat funny scene. To be honest, although the thick glasses Matt wore made him look a little dull, but in all honesty, he looked not bad, and he still had the same style as Ethan. Weak and bookish.

"This." Matt pointed to the wings on his daughter's arm, "I have conducted a small-scale investigation, and almost everyone's elders have said that this wing grew out of nowhere in the past 20 years, and then it fell. When a generation is born, it has such wings directly."

"But what does that have to do with what you said, and it's not enough to let us fly at all." Someone asked.

"Of course it has something to do with it." Matt put down the girl's arm very politely and gently, and turned to look at Ethan, "According to my speculation, the reason why IQ is not reflected in the island residents is because of 'ingestion Quantity', and 'external stimuli'!"
