Chapter 17 _ Find the rebels

Still the shore.

Bit put two pieces of rubber tubing over the mouths of the two conical flasks, and connected them with long glass tubing. A conical flask is filled with sea water, and an alcohol lamp is lit below to heat it. The other was soaked in a small pit of seawater.

Carpenter acted as a humanoid cooler, waiting for the water in the No. 1 Erlenmeyer flask to boil and then scooping seawater into another beaker and pouring it over the long pipe to cool it down. .

　　" Is it really possible to make fresh water like this? " Ajin jumped up and down beside him. Patience is a good thing, but he really doesn't have it.

　　" Don't worry, wait a minute. Bit says it's okay, it's okay. " rayleigh reassured Ajin.

　　" Be patient, there will be fresh water. " Bit said confidently. Isn't it just distilled water, it's not difficult at all.

After a while, the sea water boiled, and Carpenter, who was waiting on the side, quickly started to work. He couldn't wait.

Along with the seawater in this beaker, drops of water slowly slipped down from the mouth of the No. 2 conical flask.

　　" Look, this is fresh water. You can all taste it later, " Bit said, pointing to a drop.

The people around were all gathered around, and they were all curious. " It's really amazing! Just burn seawater into fresh water! It's really reliable, Bit! " Roger said happily while watching this scene.

　　" Alabasta is saved! " Carpenter looked excited. " This way everyone doesn't have to bear the high tax on fresh water drinking water! "

　　" Do you think the production cost of this fresh water is more expensive than the high fresh water drinking water tax? " Bit actually didn't want to attack Carpenter.

　　" How much does it cost to make such a small glass of fresh water? This water can be consumed by one person in one sip. "

After listening to Bit's words, Carpenter was not as excited as he was just now. " At least I see hope of success. If I can get the help of the king, the cost will definitely come down. "

Bit shook his head and said nothing. Obviously people with ulterior motives want to arouse public anger through this matter, how could it be so easy to do as Carpenter intended?

Suddenly, Bit remembered something very important. If he wanted to stir up public anger … " Hey, Carpenter, do you already have a rebel army in your country? "

Carpenter looked a little surprised. Why would this outsider know about the secret things of the rebel army? But he soon became impatient.

　　" By the way, I remember that Brother Doto told me that if I can't develop a method to make fresh water, he and his colleagues will overthrow the king with arms and take fresh water! I have to go to Yuba to stop Doto. Big Brother! "

　　" Yuba? Doto? " Bit secretly chewed on these two familiar names. ' No wonder Kosha organized the rebel army, it turned out to be a family heritage. ' Bet couldn't help but want to laugh. He didn't expect to learn such an interesting piece of information.

Roger on the other side hammered his palm and said at the same time, " I've decided to go to Yuba with you. "

Carpenter chose to refuse , " Thank you very much for helping me make fresh water, but we won't bother you with the internal affairs of our country. Could you please wait in a nearby town for a while, we will definitely repay you! "

Roger pressed the hat to his head. By the way, he twisted his neck. " It's okay, you go with yours, we'll go with ours. We also need supplies anyway, it doesn't matter where we go. "

Carpenter looked at Roger, who was smiling brightly, and said no more words of refusal. " Then I'll ask everyone on the way. "

　　" That's natural! "

So everyone followed Carpenter on a journey to Yuba. They are going to meet Doto, the leader of the rebel army .

In the scorching desert, Carpenter and Roger were on their way. They are sitting on a giant crab.

That's the specialty of the Alabasta desert, the moving crab.

　　"I didn't expect you to make friends so widely, you even have crabs. " Roger touched the moving crab under his butt with an expression of admiration on his face.

　　" Kakakakaka !" Before Carpenter could speak, the moving crab turned to look at Roger on his back and shouted.

　　" Ah, so you are the moving crab hammer, sorry for calling your name wrong. " After listening to the moving crab's shout, Roger sincerely apologized to the moving crab.

　　" Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka. " The moving crab also generously expressed his forgiveness to Roger.

　　" You can understand him! " Carpenter said in shock. He actually met a man who could understand the language of animals today!

　　" Is it difficult to understand the words of animals? I can understand them too. " Ajin said that understanding the words of animals is just like understanding the words of humans, without difficulty.

　　" Hey, Roger is a human, how can he be like you. " In fact,nusi herself was even more surprised than Carpenter now when she first heard that Roger could understand animals.

　　" I can understand animals too, but only fish. " Schalke interjected at this time.

　　" You can understand what the fish say, Schalke. It's amazing. " Bit was surprised. He really could not have imagined that this Schalke, who had given up his dignity, could understand the words of the fish. It seems that Roger is really insightful.

　　" Isn't it normal that murlocs can understand fish? " Young Rayleigh wasn't very clear about things like murlocs.

　　" I heard that most murlocs can't understand the language of fish, and only some very kind fish people can understand the language of fish like mermaids. " Bit saw Rayleigh's doubts, so he explained.

rayleigh nodded, saying nothing. He was reminiscing, recalling the time when Roger put Shalkela on the boat. " Can Roger even hear the voice of a human being? " rayleigh couldn't help but look at Roger.

Roger seemed to sense Rayleigh's gaze, and he also turned his head to look at Rayleigh, showing … an idiot-like smile.

　　"… Idiot. " rayleigh scolded secretly and then retracted his gaze. He knew that Roger couldn't hear people's voices. " Then why does he think Schalke is a partner? "

In the silent desert, there are only a group of people who are on their way, and only they occasionally have conversations.

The next morning, the warmest time of day. The people on the moving crab woke up one after another from their sleep.

　　" We'll be in Yuba in about two hours. It's a famous oasis in the desert. " Carpenter said with a relaxed expression. " You can get a good fix when you get to Yuba. "

However, just as everyone was relaxed, Van Pika was the first to perceive the danger. " Someone is chasing after us, the one we met on the shore. "

After listening to Van Pica's words, Carpenter unconsciously had a ferocious look on his face : " He knows I left El Maru! "

　　" No matter how he knew it, he knew it anyway. Get ready for war. " Rayleigh looked wide-eyed. Now that you're chasing him, knock him down.

So everyone listened. They turned around and looked in the direction of the approaching person.

Not long after, a figure riding a duck rushed in front of the crowd. It's Carter. He came after him alone!
