Farming in Pirate World

Li Ming and Alexander didn't wander around for long. In fact, they both had their own thoughts and basically didn't wander around the streets of Marijoa.

It was said that they were shopping, but under Alexander's leadership, the two of them wandered around the streets and soon came to a manor.

luxurious.

Seeing the scenery inside the door, the first thing Li Ming thought of was this word.

The ultimate in luxury.

In the center of the manor, a blue and white European-style house stands in the center of the manor.

The fine glass pieces are neatly attached to the outer wall of the house. They are spotless and can even vaguely reflect the scenery not far away.

Surrounding the house is a large garden, where rare flowers collected from all over the world are gathered here, and are tended by dedicated slave maids at all times.

Moreover, Li Ming also saw many out-of-season flowers blooming brightly in the garden at this time, which had obviously been specially treated.

Li Ming didn't know what principle this special treatment was based on, but it was certainly not simple.

Inside the garden, there are many human sculptures scattered sparsely. Each sculpture is life-size, carved from a whole piece of jade, and decorated with gold, emeralds, and diamonds.

The outermost one is a low fence.

The fence here is only half a meter high, but the fence in the main film is shining with golden color. I don’t know whether it is pure gold or gold-plated.

It should be gold-plated, otherwise, the amount of gold needed to surround the entire manor fence would be an astronomical figure that is unimaginable.

"here it is?"

Li Ming looked confused, but he already knew the truth.

But he wanted to hear it from Alexander himself.

"This is the estate of the Alexander family."

When he said these words, Alexander's face showed visible enthusiasm, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes.

"Alexander, is he a member of the Celestial Dragon family?"

"Yes, the great Alexander family is the descendant of one of the twenty kings who created the world."

Li Ming looked at Alexander thoughtfully, finally having a clear definition of his identity.

Of course he would not think that Alexander was a Celestial Dragon. This was simply nonsense.

According to his self-introduction, Alexander's full name is Rhodes Alexander, not Saint Alexander of Rhodes, and there is no "holy" at the end of his name.

This alone makes it impossible for him to be a Celestial Dragon.

Moreover, with the pride of Tianlong people, it is impossible to be so enthusiastic about Li Ming.

Facing Li Ming's confused gaze, Ross finally explained slowly with pride on his face.

"Our family are all servants of the Alexander family and have served the Alexander family for 500 years. In order to reward our loyalty, Lord Tianlong gave our family the surname "Alexander"."

Ross spoke lightly, but Li Ming knew that things could never be that simple.

With the pride of the Celestial Dragon, how could he give his surname to his servant?

At least, Ross's clan is definitely not as simple as he said.

In this regard, Ross Alexander did not explain much. He just took out the phone bug he carried with him and whispered a few words before standing still again.

After a while, the two maids walked through the garden, came to the fence, and opened the gate of the manor for them.

Although the fence here is low and the gate is not locked and can be pushed open with just a slight push, no one dares to push the door open without the owner of the manor sending someone to open the door.

"Lord Ross Alexander, I am already waiting for you in the study."

"The master has arrived in person?!"

There was a look of horror on Ross's face, and he ignored the two maids. He quickly grabbed Li Ming's wrist and walked quickly towards the manor.

It could be seen that Rhodes' steps were very fast, but even so, he never started running, but always maintained a suitable pace.

It wasn't that he didn't want to run, but that there was a certain order in this manor that forcibly suppressed some of his impulses.

This is the deterrence of the Celestial Dragons.

Li Ming remained silent and followed Ross' footsteps, quickly walking through the outer garden and arriving at the inner house.

Walking into the interior of the house, Li Ming once again reaffirmed his definition of "luxury".

Gold floor tiles, pearl roofs, diamond lamps, and jade door handles.

Every part inside this house explains to Li Ming what luxury is.

The 800-year heritage of the Tianlong people can be seen at a glance just from this manor.

Ross said before that Maliqiaoya gathered the essence of the entire world, and Li Ming really believed it now.

Just this manor, even if a small country is plundered, there is no way to replicate it.

However, Ross turned a blind eye to this. Under the leadership of the maid in the house, he went straight to the door of the study room on the second floor of the villa. He carefully arranged his clothes, took two deep breaths, and then knocked lightly on the door. twice.

"come in."

A lazy and old voice sounded, and the door of the study was slowly opened, revealing the true appearance of the study.

Compared with the luxury outside, this study seemed a bit shabby, with only a dark red desk and bookcases close to the wall.

In the center of the room, an old man with a white beard wearing a dark blue suit was flipping through the books in his hand, seemingly not seeing Ross' arrival.

And Ross didn't mind at all. He walked into the house quietly, and then stood aside, silent, for fear of disturbing the adult in front of him while he was reading.

And Li Ming's heart was already filled with turmoil.

Li Ming has seen this Tianlong man before!

Of course, this is not seen in this life, but in the comics of the previous life.

He is the Five Old Stars!

He knew that if he could summon him in the name of the World Government and directly use the circular current of the Gate of Justice, this person must occupy a high position in the World Government.

When standing outside the door of Alexander Manor, Li Ming also thought that maybe a certain Tianlong person valued the "money-attracting" ability of the Liming Chamber of Commerce and wanted to take Li Ming under his command.

After all, in this world, behind every chamber of commerce, there is a more powerful backer.

Without a backer, the Chamber of Commerce is just a piece of fat meat that anyone can take a bite of.

But he really didn't expect that the person who summoned him this time was actually the legendary Five Old Stars!

In the comics, the Five Old Stars are the supreme leader of the World Government, the backbone of the World Government, and the five people who stand at the top of the Celestial Dragons.

These five people are all men, and neither their surname nor their first name has been revealed at all.

And now, Li Ming already knows that one of the five old stars comes from the Alexander family.

"Did my behavior actually attract the attention of the Five Old Stars?"

Li Ming's heart stirred up countless waves, but on the surface he remained expressionless, silently following Ross Alexander behind him.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time before the five-old star slowly put down the book in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the two people in front of him.

In other words, he was sizing up Li Ming.

"Is this book about you?"

"Ok?"

Li Ming looked at the book held up by Wulaoxing in confusion, and then suddenly realized that the book he was reading was actually that one...

Damn it!It’s actually this book again? !

"When I get back, I will definitely skin Bartolomeo!"

Li Ming was angry for a while, but he still said honestly:

"Yes, this is indeed me."

"However, many of the things here are conjectures made by others and are exaggerated. Please do not take them seriously."

Wu Laoxing ignored his explanation, but carefully stuffed the book on the bookcase behind him and kept the book.

"Whether it is true or false, as long as it can be believed by others, it is true."

Wu Laoxing spoke slowly, not knowing whether he was praising Li Ming or mocking him.

"Even if everyone believes it to be true, what is false is false and cannot become true."

Countless beads of sweat instantly formed on Ross Alexander's forehead. Although he was trying to maintain his expression, he still looked frightened.

Li Ming is actually debating with this "master". Does he want his life?

Do you know who is standing in front of you? !This is one of the legendary Five Old Stars!

Five old stars!Five old stars!Do you understand or not? !

The entire world government is decided by the Five Old Stars. He is one of the five people who control the world!

Well, maybe Li Ming really doesn't know the true identity of the old man in front of him, but this is the manor of the Tianlong people. Even if you don't know that this is the Five Old Stars, you should still know that this is the Tianlong people!

Is this how you talk to the Celestial Dragons? !

If you despise your longevity, don't involve me!

You were brought in by me!

A pile of cold sweat broke out on Rhodes' forehead, and he wanted to remind Li Ming, but the old man didn't let himself speak. He didn't even have the courage to give Li Ming a look.

Wulaoxing looked at Li Ming expressionlessly, showing no trace of anger because of Li Ming's back talk. Instead, he continued to ask:

"What are you referring to?"

"I'm not implying anything, I'm just saying what's written in this book."

Li Ming replied expressionlessly.

"You know, telling lies will lead to imprisonment."

Li Ming stopped talking.

Wulaoxing is threatening Li Ming and threatening to put Li Ming in jail.

Li Ming didn't speak at this time. He just stopped arguing with the white-bearded Wulaoxing. It didn't mean that he admitted his mistake.

It's an attitude.

Even though Li Ming is timid most of the time, for some reason, Li Ming doesn't want to give in easily when facing a real big shot.

Wu Laoxing was silent for a long time, trying to see something from Li Ming's face, but saw that Li Ming had always looked expressionless.

A look of interest finally appeared on his face.

Putting his hands together, Wu Laoxing sat on the sofa, looking at Li Ming standing in front of him, and finally became a little interested.

If before, summoning Li Ming to come to the World Government was just a casual move on his part, but now, he has begun to become truly interested in Li Ming.

"Why do you think I summoned you all the way from Alabasta?"

"have no idea."

"Give it a guess."

"Can't guess."

Li Ming scratched his head and did not make random guesses.

Because he killed the Sand Crocodile?

But the task of escorting the Sand Crocodile and the task of summoning himself were carried out at the same time. In other words, when the Five Old Stars summoned him, the Sand Crocodile was not dead yet.

Because he secretly rules Alabasta?

But this is Alabasta's internal affairs, and the transfer of power did not cause any large-scale unrest.

Li Ming is not seizing power by force, but is conducting a slow handover of power. It is carried out with the cooperation of Kobra. The World Government should have no jurisdiction.

So, Li Ming could no longer guess what the reason was.

Wu Laoxing smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was expressionless.

Controlling your expression and not letting the other person see your inner thoughts is the basic quality of an old silver coin.

Even though there was no need to do this in front of Li Ming, Wu Laoxing still controlled the state of his face habitually.

"Are you willing to come and work for the World Government?"

"I will think about it."

Brother, what are you still thinking about?

Ross Alexander, who was listening next to him, almost blurted out.

This is the Five Old Stars!Wulaoxing personally invited you to work in the World Government, but you still want to consider it? !

Are you kidding me?

"What are you considering? Don't want to stay in Marijoa?"

Li Ming answered honestly:

"I still have employees to support, so it shouldn't be possible to stay in Marijoa forever."

Next to him, Ross's eyes almost popped out of his head - the opportunity to stay in Marijoa is something that countless people dream of, but you don't want it? !

Are you crazy? !

Li Ming is indeed crazy.

He didn't know why one of the highest rulers in the world actually rejected him when he offered him an olive branch!

Obviously, staying in Marijoa is the best choice according to your temper.

Staying in Marijoa means that he has been protected by one of the Five Old Stars, and the price is just to do things for him.

With his identity, there is a high probability that he will be like Ross Alexander, becoming the white glove of the five-old star in front of him.

Marijoa can be said to be the safest place in the world, bar none.

Here, he doesn't need to think about pirates, the navy, or life. As long as he doesn't offend the Celestial Dragons, Marijoa is paradise.

But at this time, Li Ming was inexplicably stuck in a strange state, and his instinct drove him to make some irrational actions.

Just like when Long recruited him into the revolutionary army.

Just a lunatic.

However, even after being rejected by Li Ming, Wu Laoxing did not show any expression of shame or annoyance on his face. Instead, he groaned, picked up the pen on the desk, and wrote two lines of words on a piece of white paper. Gave it to Li Ming.

"Take this and go to No. 16 Island in Shampoo Land to be the mayor."

"Within half a year, I want to see your results. Otherwise, I will let you settle the lies in this book line by line."

With that said, Wu Laoxing took out another book from the bookcase, placed it on the simple desk, and started reading slowly.
