But thinking of the purpose of his coming, the Daimyo of Wave Kingdom asked: "Your name is Kesha, right? Let me ask you, besides discovering the treasure house, have you discovered anything else?"

"Other...things?"

Kesha was a little puzzled by the words of the Daimyo of Wave Country.

"Do you still want to keep pretending? How did you solve the pirates on the island? Don't tell me that you solved them alone. Who else did you have with you?"

Pirates? Solve? Accomplices?

The words of the Daimyo of Wave Country made Kesha feel even more inexplicable and strange.

"I don't know what you are talking about... I discovered the famous treasure house by myself."

Kesha took everything into his own hands.

The daimyo of the Land of Waves smiled coldly, not believing that Kesha alone could deal with the samurai and pirates there.

Even if you accidentally break into there, you will be killed on the spot by the guards there, and there will be no chance of escaping and causing public opinion.

"Are you really not going to tell me? If you tell me, I can spare your life."

The Daimyo of Wave Country gave his own conditions.

Kesha did not speak, but kept thinking about the meaning of the words of the Daimyo of Wave Country.

That day, in order to save Dazuna who was swept away by the whirlpool, he accidentally discovered a cave entrance on the seabed. Through the cave entrance, he discovered the treasure house of the famous family hidden inside the island.

He fought with the samurai guarding there and risked his life to kill the samurai.

Otherwise, he found no signs of piracy.

However, when the Daimyo of Wave Country asked this question, he was obviously sure that there would be pirates there.

Samurai...pirates...protecting the treasury of the great master?

Kesha's body trembled as if struck by lightning, and endless waves surged in his heart. His eyes suddenly widened, and the eyes that looked at the Daimyo of the Land of Waves were full of shock.

The Daimyo... is colluding with the pirates who invaded the border of Wave Country!?

So what happened to the militia that the famous young men from the country of Namami organized to fight against pirates?

If at that time, the daimyo was joining forces with the pirates, or it was a force cultivated by the daimyo mansion...

Kesha shuddered.

It seems that I missed some extremely important information from the beginning.

If this is true as I guessed, then the existence of the treasure house is natural.

The so-called appeasing the pirates is just a wealth transfer game played by the daimyo and the nobles.

"The pirates that have invaded Border Town in recent years... are related to famous people?"

Kesha asked this question with difficulty.

I guessed wrong from the beginning.

That treasure house was not a private collection of items, but property that had been transferred out in the past in the name of appeasing pirates.

He thought he was being arrested, interrogated and tortured because he gathered a crowd to cause trouble.

In fact, no, the daimyo of Wave Country didn't care at all about the farce he was leading. What the other party cared about was whether the secret of the collusion between the daimyo and the pirates had been leaked through some channel.

He was regarded as the first suspect of leaking information, so he was imprisoned, not because of the ridiculous reason that he led the people to cause trouble.

It can even be said that the Daimyo of Wave Country did not pay any attention to his behavior of leading people to cause trouble. In the eyes of the other party, it was nothing more than a childish way for a child to lose his temper.

On the contrary, he exposed himself to a very dangerous situation.

"do not you know?"

Now it was the Daimyo's turn to be surprised.

He discovered the treasure stored there and killed all the samurai and pirates guarding it. On the contrary, raising such a question at this time made the Daimyo of Wave Country doubt whether his actions were unnecessary.

"Why? As a daimyo, why do you collude with pirates? You are a daimyo of the Land of Waves! How could you...how could you..."

Kesha gritted his teeth and asked, and you could hear the anger in his tone.

He didn't know what the Daimyo of Wave Country was questioning, but the other party's behavior touched the bottom line of Kesha's heart.

Collaborating with pirates and harming the people of your own country, what benefit does this have to the other party? It has no benefit to this country at all.

Due to the lack of young people, the economy of the Country of Waves declined rapidly. Then the black industry began to flourish, and a large number of workers were unemployed. Coupled with heavy taxes, many people were no longer able to support their families, and were even oppressed by gangs. Many families were on the same road.

Dead end.

And all of this was caused by the Daimyo of Wave Country in front of him.

He is the main culprit of the country's decline!

"Why not? Who told the debt collectors in the Kingdom of Ghosts to press too hard at that time? As long as the money in their hands is 'disappeared' properly, there is no need to rush to pay back the money. This method is indeed very effective.

The country's debt collectors are no longer in a hurry to collect debts and are leaving this place alone."

The Daimyo of Wave Country was proud of his wonderful idea more than once.

And this reason is obviously not acceptable to Kesha.

"Then there is no need to organize a militia to fight against pirates and die..."

Kesha's eyes widened angrily.

"If you don't act more realistically, how can you fool those smart debt collectors? Facts have proved that my decision was not wrong. The debt collectors of the Kingdom of Ghosts even dared to collect debts from the famous government of the Kingdom of Wind.

What a ruthless character."

Having said this, the Daimyo of Wave Country was somewhat frightened, and felt that he had foresight in taking cautious actions in advance.

Although some members of the Lonely Island Merchant Alliance are cooperating in it, being able to use the pirate power organized by these merchants to transfer their wealth reasonably can be regarded as taking advantage of the other party.

If there is really no money, the Kingdom of Ghosts can't just stare at this country all day long, right?

The only pity is that the merchant alliance was destroyed not long ago, and his plan to clear out the base and let them build a second island was shattered. The benefits promised to the great names and nobles of Wave Country after they betrayed the national interests naturally also

It disappeared with the demise of the Merchant Alliance.

This made the Daimyo of the Land of Waves very upset, but he was also glad that he abandoned the merchant alliance in time, otherwise if he was liquidated by the Kingdom of Demons, the consequences might be more troublesome than collecting debts.

However, there is no need for the Daimyo of Wave Country to explain too much to a prisoner of his rank.

He just wanted to know if anyone else knew about the information about his collusion with the pirates outside.

If there are any, they need to be silenced as soon as possible and all those who know the truth need to be eliminated.

This matter is much more serious than after the treasure trove was leaked.

One careless move will cause violent turmoil in the country of Waves.

"Just for this reason..."

The anger in Kesha's eyes seemed to be swallowing up the Daimyo of Wave Country.

I feel unworthy of those young people from the Kingdom of Waves who died in the conspiracy of the daimyo of the Country of Waves. They fell into the trap of pirates and died for such ridiculous reasons.

Even the people were completely fooled, believing that it was the Daimyo of Wave Country who spent money to avoid disasters, allowing the dilapidated Country of Waves to recuperate, and even labeled the other party as 'wise'.

Kesha couldn't understand the behavior of the Daimyo of Wave Country. What did he regard as human life, and what did he regard as his own country?

With such a person leading the country's destiny, will the people living in this country really hope for a good life?

The country and the people are just tools used by the other party for profit and betrayal.

Why does this kind of guy become the famous name of the country? Instead of letting truly wise people lead the country?

Kesha had this question.

Then the answer points to one point - the other party has the most orthodox bloodline in the Country of Waves, and it is natural that he will take over the position of daimyo from the previous daimyo of the Country of Waves.

No matter how strong or weak his ability is, no matter what his character is, as long as he has the connection of this important bloodline, the other party will be the legitimate name of the Country of Waves and cannot be changed.

The sad thing is that such a rightful statement has never been questioned. Among the people at the bottom, they also think that this is an eternal truth. The blood of nobles is nobler than that of common people. They do not think this is wrong, but take it for granted.

correct.

Why are the daimyo and nobles so unscrupulous, playing with the country and the people in the palm of their hands?

Kesha suddenly understood the answer to the question that had troubled him for a long time.

I, or other people living at the bottom, have too many beautiful and naive visions for things that I shouldn’t have any illusions about.

Without enough independent consciousness, the 'truth' that has remained unchanged through the ages has been reversed, and the 'bloodline' that should have been this way has been refuted.

People must pay the price and sacrifice for their ignorance.

Thinking of this, Kesha's eyes darkened.

I realized it was too late.

If I could have understood earlier, I would not have chosen to lead the people to protest against such a naive and stupid approach, and also brought myself into it.

With such naive thoughts, I can be described as an out-and-out idiot.

This is the answer that Miss Yiji wanted to tell me that day. Kesha smiled bitterly.
