Chapter 15 _ countrie without fresh water

Roger's group docked there ship . Originally, Schalke planned to go ashore first, but Roger, who couldn't wait for the new adventure, drove the boat directly.

The man on the shore has been busy with his own affairs, and there are some strange bottles and jars and some strange materials beside him. He ignored the group of people who landed with the pirate flag.

　　" We are pirates, look! That's our pirate flag! " Nusi walked over and pointed to the flag on her pirate ship and said to the strange man on the shore.

　　" I know. " The man stared at some tiny white particles on the beach by the shore with a thoughtful expression on his face. He didn't pay attention to the pirates in front of him at all.

　　" Since you know that we are pirates, why don't you run? " Ajin, who had escaped, jumped to Nusi's side, looking at the strange person in front of him and asked.

　　" The people in this country are already overwhelmed, and there is no extra money for you to loot. It may be a good destination to die in your hands. " The strange man's hand suddenly turned into tweezers, and picked up a small white particle . put it in the mouth. Really salty!

　　" My name is Roger, we are passing pirates. What are you doing here? How can your hands become like this? " Roger walked over and asked.

　　" This is the desert country of Alabasta. I'm Carpenter, the robot who ate the mechanical fruit, and I'm doing research. " The eccentric Carpenter stood up as he spoke. With his hands turned into shovels, he dug a hole on the shore and drew some sea water into it.

　　" Can we know what research you are doing? Carpenter. " Bit also walked up and asked curiously. His action is obviously to dry the salt.

　　"The seawater is salty, and the salt in the seawater is also salty, so as long as the salt is removed, the remaining seawater will become freshwater. " Carpenter briefly explained his research – making freshwater.

　　" Even if it's a desert country, it's impossible to lack water to such an extent. Don't you even have a freshwater river in your country? Even if it really doesn't, you can dig a well. " Rayleigh asked his own question.

　　" Someone's here. " Before Carpenter could answer, Van Picka warned the crowd behind him.

Hearing Van Picka 's warning, Carpenter's frown at Rayleigh's group deepened. " Why are these bastards here again? " he muttered to himself. But everyone heard it.

At this moment Schalke jumped out of the water. He went to hide the boat in a more secret place on the shore. Just got back now. " What happened? He is …"

Nusi whispered to Schalke the conversation between them and Carpenter just now. But Carpenter packed his mind and continued to stare at the pit of sea water in front of him.

Not long after, a man in a black suit appeared in the sight of everyone with two teams of guards, and they walked straight to Carpenter.

Carpenter only stood up at this time, and he passed Roger and the others and walked in front of the person who came. " Carter, what are you doing here? " Carpenter's tone was unceremonious.

　　" I'll take a look at your research. " Carter had a wicked smile on his face. " By the way, let's clean up the sanitation on the coast. I heard from the nearby garrison that there are always some shameless guys littering the coast recently! "

After Carter finished speaking, the guards behind him rushed forward, past Carter and Carpenter who were looking at each other, and Roger and others behind Carpenter.

They walked to the place where Carpenter had just been, smashed all the strange objects on the ground, and destroyed Carpenter's testing ground.

Carpenter just gritted his teeth and looked at Carter in front of him, without doing anything. The other party occupies the name of the country, and now maybe he is waiting for him to do something and then capture him.

　　" Hey, what are you doing? Why smash his stuff! " Carpenter could keep his cool, but Roger couldn't. He can't just watch this Carter bully people!

　　" I can smash anyone's things, but you, who are you? What are you doing here! " Carter roared back without a guilty conscience.

　　" We are …"

　　" They were great merchants on the voyage, and they ended up here after being shipwrecked. " Carpenter suddenly interrupted Roger's words. He could see that this idiot could speak his mind at all.

　　" It turned out to be the victim who didn't even get wet. " Carter saw the flaw in Carpenter's words at a glance. But he didn't intend to investigate.

　　" Since you said they were victims, then if they break the law, you will be out of luck. " Carter turned around and left with someone. " Good luck, Carpenter. Hahahahaha! "

After watching the arrogant guy leave, Roger got angry. " Why not stop him from destroying your stuff, Carpenter! "

Carpenter shook his head. He was helpless to Roger's IQ. " He wants me to stop him so he can justifiably send me to jail. "

　　"I didn't expect that there is such a master in your country. Who is he? " Bit's eyes flashed with excitement.

This was the only person he encountered on the great route that made him feel dangerous except for the giant in the small garden, and he sensed the smell of swordsmen from this person. His swordsman's soul was on fire.

　　" His name is Carter, and he is the captain of the kingdom's guards. Usually he should stay in Albana, the capital, but he came to my experimental site for no reason yesterday and smashed it. He is here again today. " Carpenter Shaking his head said.

　　" Where is this place? How long does it take to get here from the capital Albana? " Rayleigh asked two questions.

　　" This is El Maru. It takes about two and a half days to get here from the capital. " Although it was not clear why Rayleigh asked this, Carpenter still answered him.

　　" In other words, he knew that you were doing research here almost five days ago. Aren't you researching the production of fresh water? Why did he destroy it? " Rayleigh continued to ask. He seemed to have figured out why Carpenter was studying fresh water.

　　" Because the country's freshwater resources are controlled by the king. The freshwater sources everywhere are guarded by the army, and those who want to draw water will be charged a huge freshwater drinking water tax. " Carpenter's mood is a little low.

　　"The citizens can't afford the heavy freshwater drinking water tax at all, so I have to study the conversion of seawater to freshwater. " Carpenter's eyes were full of determination. " In any case, I will continue to study! "

　　" Why don't you try to dig a well yourself? That would be much easier. " Nusi looked puzzled.

Carpenter turned his head to look at Nusi, his face expressionless. " Do you think they will not consider this kind of problem? Everyone who dared to dig a well was executed by the king for stealing state property. "

　　" What! Execution! " Nusi exclaimed in shock. She really never thought that such an evil guy could sit on the throne!

　　" Can you tell us more specifically? Maybe I can help you. " Nusi asked in a soft voice.

　　" Yeah, we're strong. " Roger looked at Carpenter with a confident glow on his face.
