Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Confrontation at the Desk

The moment the golden door was pushed open, the light of the candle seeped through the crack in the door, shining on the otherwise dim corridor. Charlotte squinted her eyes for a few seconds before she gradually adjusted to the brightness of the light in front of her.

It is a cylindrical study room about two stories high, the bookshelves are nailed against the wall, thousands of books are densely packed throughout the bookshelves, and in the center of the room is a black wooden desk about two meters long, Morey sits on a leather chair and quietly looks at the books on the desk.

After Charlotte was ushered into the room, Wright saluted Morey, untied the hemp rope from Charlotte, and left Charlotte alone.

With a bang, the golden door behind the boy was shut, and the whole room was extremely quiet, except for the sound of Morey flipping through the book, the room was frighteningly quiet.

The oppressive atmosphere almost made Charlotte unable to breathe, for fear that she would make a sound and provoke the other party's dissatisfaction, Charlotte stood in front of Morey in a daze, quietly waiting for Morey.

I don't know how long it took, but Morey finally closed the book in his hand, raised his head and stared at Charlotte with cold eyes, pulled his cheek and smiled chillingly, and said, "Welcome, my lovely guest." Have a seat. ”

Charlotte subconsciously clenched her fists and walked slowly to a chair in front of her desk, the sound of footsteps was unusually loud in this quiet study, like the sound of Charlotte's heart beating and constantly hitting her eardrums.

For Charlotte, the journey seemed like half a century, and finally he came to the chair, wiped the cold sweat from his hands, and pushed the chair away and sat down.

The boy looked up expressionlessly and looked at the pirate captain in front of him.

Morey leaned back in his chair, took a puff of tobacco and let out a choking smoke, and said semi-approvingly, "Heh, the concentration is not bad. Should I praise you for your bravery, or for being foolish?"

What exactly does he want to do?

With the doubt in her heart, Charlotte remained silent, staring at Morey quietly, waiting to see what happened before she figured out the other party's purpose.

"Don't you speak?" Morey narrowed his eyes at Charlotte, "you should know who the owner of this ship is, right? ”

He slowly pulled the handcuff from his waist and pointed it lightly at Charlotte's head.

"Then answer me, are you brave or foolish?"

The pores of Charlotte's body were erect at this time, and cold sweat penetrated his back, but his tenacious eyes were always fixed on Morey's face.

"What does it matter if I am ignorant or brave or not?" said Charlotte at last.

After Morey sneered, he pulled the trigger in his hand without hesitation.

The sound recurred in the quiet study.

But nothing happened, no scarlet blood, no splatters of brains.

The handcuff in his hand did not shoot a bullet.

"Very well, it seems that you have what it takes to board my ship. Morey slowly lowered the handcuff in his hand, leaned back, sat down on the back of his chair, and looked at Charlotte lazily, "Courage only brings disaster, and ignorance only brings destruction." ”

What do you mean?

What is he trying to say?

"The cold sweat on your hands tells me that you are not a brave man. Morey smiled, "But the fact that you can sit on this chair also shows that you are not a foolish person." ”

After hearing this, Charlotte subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on her hands, took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Morey, forgive me for my ignorance, I am just a nameless wanderer, what do you want to do when you bring me to this room with great fanfare?"

"Nameless wanderer, shouldn't a boy of your age still drink milk in the stable cradle of his family?" the captain took a puff of tobacco, then gradually put away his smile, took the tobacco from his mouth, and lit the fuse on the handcuff.

"I advise you not to think of me as one of those mentally retarded pirates with developed limbs. He picked up the handcuff on the table with his prosthetic leg and observed it carefully, the spark burning on the fuse with a thick smell of gunpowder, "After all, you are my lovely guest..."

Morey picked up the handcuff and pointed it at Charlotte's head again, "I don't want to look at my guest and make a hole in my skull." ”

Charlotte stared intently at the trigger on the handcuff, only to see Morey's fingers on the trigger begin to bend slightly, and the pupils of his eyes gradually contracted with his movements.

The sound of the trigger being pulled.

The sound of the handcuffs was as loud as thunder, and in a very short time Charlotte turned his head sideways, and the round bullet almost hit the golden gate behind him close to his ear, opening a tiny hole.

"Look, I'll just say you're not a simple wanderer. Morey tugged at his face, "You can dodge the bullets of the handcuffs in a few tenths of a second, and you have to find a good excuse to deceive people, my lovely guest." ”

"Tell me, why did that bloody man find you at all costs?"

"Don't say anything about the fact that it's just a coincidence, or the occasional presence in that village or anything like that. ”

"Once again, I sincerely advise you not to take me for a fool. ”

"After all, more than a hundred of my men have died, and someone has to pay for it. ”

Damn! he still saw through it.

The rhythm of the whole conversation was controlled by Morey, and Charlotte didn't even have a chance to fight back, so she could only follow the rhythm of the other party step by step.

Once the conversation is over and the other party knows about their situation, they will definitely throw their useless self into the sea.

The Jedi must fight back, and I can't talk to his rhythm anymore!

The young man subconsciously clenched his fists, bit the tip of his tongue to sober up a little under the high degree of tension, and said in a cold voice, "What about you? This is not your West Pole Continent, what are you coming here for thousands of miles across countless dangerous seas?"

Morey's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Charlotte without saying a word.

This subtle change of expression was captured by Charlotte's eyes, and sure enough, these West Pole pirates had come to this area at all costs for 'something'.

You must know that the two continents are separated by countless extremely dangerous sea areas, and the slightest carelessness will take their lives, but in the face of the treacherous sea areas, these pirates still appear around the Eastern Far Continent, which can only show that they are indeed for 'something'.

But what exactly is that?

"Hmph. Morey was silent for a moment, then stood up, his thick muscles and tall figures, compared to the boy in front of the table, the two of them were almost like strong men and children.

"Now I'm not sure, are you stupid, or are you reckless?"

"Then let me ask you again, do you know who the owner of this ship is?" Morey clasped his hands behind his back, and walked slowly around the table behind Charlotte.

Amazing.

There is too little information now, and if he continues like this, he will definitely be divided by Morey.

(You need to have a lot of information!)

Xia Luo took a deep breath and suppressed his beating heart, and continued to speak as if talking to himself, "That's right, you didn't hesitate to cross the extremely dangerous sea area, risk being swallowed by all kinds of king-level sea beasts, and come all the way to the Eastern Far Continent across tens of millions of miles of ocean, just to find 'something'. The boy thought as he spoke, trying to connect the dots with the information he had at the moment.

"For example, the supreme treasure hidden in the corner of the ocean?"

Morey, who walked behind Charlotte, suddenly stopped.
