Once, when Bilgewater was still a dragon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At that time, it was not taverns but ...... that were scattered all over Bilgewater Casino!
The huge wealth looted at sea made it impossible for these pirates to spend, and gambling became the best mode of consumption.
At that time, at the gaming table, everyone's favorite thing to play was...... Brand!
Malcolm Graves was born in the back of a Bilgewater tavern.
Abandoned there with him, there was also a bottle of milk mixed with spirits.
In a slum run by pirates, he survived his childhood thanks to all the dastardly methods documented in the book.
In order to reinvent himself, he secretly boarded the first ship he could sneak into and sailed to the mainland.
However, the cold worldliness forced him to survive in the underground societies of various city-states, and to escape when the situation became too dangerous.
In an unusually high-stakes card game, he finds himself as a rival to Trist Fett.
In the final showdown, both of them showed their four aces.
Two incomparable liars, for the first time, meet someone who is on their par.
As a result, they formed an alliance to scam the chips on the table, and then scuffled with people in the alley.
Together, they roam the streets, with money, fraud, and criminal records growing day by day.
Sadly, Graves accidentally exposed himself when he defrauded a high-ranking Zaun official and businessman named Arego Preggs.
When Priggs found out how he had been tricked, the word revenge was on his mind.
He learns of Trist's near-obsessive desire to control magic, and quickly offers him a deal: sell Grey Fuss and in return arrange an experiment for him that will satisfy his wishes!
Trist accepted the agreement, even though he and Graves knew the risk of breaking each other's agreement. But the rewards are just too tempting.
After his success, Priggs took Graves to a special place.
It is held for the crimes of those who have suffered unjustly injustice...... Rather, the punishment received, which is not recorded in the book.
Before Graves managed to escape, he had endured years behind bars at the hands of Zaun's most unscrupulous wardens.
One of his cellmates introduced him to an eccentric gunsmith.
The gunsmith tailored a shotgun for Graves.
He named it "Destiny".
After a "friendly" visit to Preggs. Graves returned to the continent with two purposes: his former friend Trist Fett, and ......
Find him to settle old scores!
"Lao Tzu can be regarded as having found you!"
Graves spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth, got up from the side of the ship, picked up the gun that was no longer called fate, and began to look around, shouting, "Trist Fett! You bastard, come out to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants to follow you and put that account. Figure-out! ”
Before Graves could stand firm, the ghost pirates over there spotted the outcropping target, firepower, and immediately strafed over.
Yun Loyd, who was on the side, threw him down and scolded: "Smoker, don't you want to die!" ”
"Damn, ghost knife, you let go of Lao Tzu!"
Graves shoved Yun Loyd away. shouted angrily: "That bastard that Lao Tzu has been looking for is around here." Nine times out of ten, it's on a boat with white sails! You let Lao Tzu go, Lao Tzu will find that bastard and kill him with one shot! ”
"If you show your head now, you are looking for death!"
"If you don't let Lao Tzu go out now, Lao Tzu will never let you go for the rest of your life!"
“......”
Yun Loyd let go of his hand. Gritting his teeth, he said fiercely: "Rambo, fire cover!" ”
"This is Lao Tzu's good brother!"
Graves gritted his teeth and grinned, "Cover Lao Tzu to the back deck!" Lookout, give the telescope to Lao Tzu! ”
"Oh!"
"Give!"
Take the binoculars. Graves grabbed his gun and sprinted to the back deck.
Arriving on the back deck, through the binoculars, Graves began to search for that abominable shadow on the Call Girl not far away!
Call Girl, Lookout.
Trist, who was teased by Sarah's words and fought hard, swayed from side to side, throwing flying cards like Sarah.
His cards, with the magic power he had obtained from betraying his friends, were particularly effective when hit on the ghost pirate's body!
After a succession of red cards, Trist drew a holy blue card very rhythmically and threw it out, saying to himself: "Red card, make you feel hopeless!" The blue card makes me feel surging! ”
Shout! Shout! Shout!
The cards in Trist's hand are endless!
"Lord Trist, be careful! There are stray bullets! On your left! ”
The lookout standing behind Trist looked around and saw a stray bullet with a skull drawn on it flying from the Ghost!
That's Graves' ultimate bomb!
"Sneak attack!"
Unhurried, Trist pulled out a golden card, clamped it between his hands, put it in front of his face, blew a breath, and threw it at the bomb!
Bite!
The moment the golden card comes into contact with the bomb!
The whole bomb immediately turned into a bomb of pure gold!
"Gold, it will make you stagnant!"
Trist said gracefully, but, then, he became indecent.
Because, the bomb that turned golden only froze for a while, and then exploded!
Bang!
The golden bomb instantly turned into a fire as dazzling as the sun!
The entire sea area was oppressed by the aftermath of the explosion, forming a depression that shrank in!
The whole Call Girl, right in the middle of this depression, swayed!
Trist, who was standing on the lookout, was overturned by the blast of the explosion, and if he hadn't desperately clung to the mast and the protection of the protective shield, he would have been blown into the sea.
"Damn, who is ****** secretly plotting against Lao Tzu!"
Trist was so angry that he finally couldn't maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, and scolded: "Telescope, give the telescope to Lao Tzu, damn it, let Lao Tzu find the person who dares to plot against Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will fill him with cards!" ”
Grabbing the lookout's binoculars, Trist immediately looked over the Ghost!
I don't know if I don't know it, but when I looked, Trist was on the back deck of the Ghost and saw the guy who used to play cards with him!
"I'm X, isn't this guy in prison in Zaun! How did you find it here! ”
Trist dropped the telescope in a panic and said indiscriminately: "No, no, I can't let that guy catch me, if he catches me, he won't let me go." ”
"Let's go, yes, let's go!"
Trist made up his mind and immediately shouted to the deck, "Miss Sarah, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, I'll go first!" We'll talk about it later! ”
With that, Trist didn't care whether Sarah heard it or not, and lowered his head and pointed it in the middle of his forehead, as if grabbing the edge of the hat he had been wearing.
Then, the transformed cards appear at Trist's feet, instantly stacked into a perfect circle!
At the same time, a shocking red light rose from Trist's body!
"Fate!" (To be continued.) )
