Chapter 45: A "Cool" Beauty Contest

Luca originally thought that this lady contest should be able to feast his eyes, and the other contestants would dare to sign up for the competition, if not as good as Nora, at least they would consider themselves "ladies". Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

What's more, before the final finals, the backstage judges have to conduct a round of preliminary selection, and those who are really sorry for the audience will be eliminated, and the remaining twenty people can take the stage.

After waiting for an hour, it was time for the final stage to open, but Luca was quite disappointed.

It's not that the girls participating in the competition are not good-looking, with the check of the primary selection, the twenty ladies on the stage, even if they are not peerless, at least they are smart enough.

The problem is with the clothes.

The costumes are provided by the competition, and they are all exactly the same...... Large cotton robe. These bloated and ill-fitting clothes completely cover the girl's graceful figure, and even the movement is quite inconvenient.

In April, the temperature had already warmed up slightly, and after wearing such a thick dress, several of the contestants on the stage were already panting hot, and even a young girl had fainted just after walking on the stage.

Luca, who was sitting in the audience and watching, was also very unhappy, he felt that he was not watching a beauty pageant, but watching a sea lion show in the aquarium.

"Isn't there a swimsuit display?" Lukka whispered dissatisfied.

"You're thinking too much. Crete explained, "The costume was made to accompany the ritual in the afternoon. After returning from the ice-catching boat in the afternoon, the lady and the champion warrior will climb the iceberg together and chisel the first ice block of the year. Dress thickly for fear that the final champion will freeze on the iceberg. ”

"What's the point of seeing that......" Lukka said, yawning.

Crete was not as frustrated as he was: "It's actually good, at least Nora's championship can't run away." ”

Lukka followed Crete's gaze, and in the midst of a crowd of hot, pale contestants, Nora looked poised. In the matter of "not afraid of heat", who dares to say that they can be stronger than a fire elf?

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, after a long and boring three-hour schedule, the champion of the Lady Contest was finally produced without any suspense.

As a group of friends and relatives of the champions, the three Luca were allowed to go backstage to congratulate them.

Holding the crown of champions that was about to fall from her head in one hand and flowers in the other, Nora seemed to be completely immersed in this much-anticipated role.

Seeing Luca, she finally remembered what she was doing, stuffed the flowers into the hands of the staff next to her, and pulled Luca and the others to the corner of the backstage.

"The prizes won't be available until after the afternoon ceremony. Nora whispered.

"Yes, Crete explained. Lukka nodded, "You're okay with staying here until the afternoon, right?"

Without waiting for Nora to reply, a muscular man slapped Lukka on the back, "I'm here! ”

Lukka looked back and was startled: "Big brother, who are you looking for? We're not in your way, are we?"

"Make me like this, you don't know me now?!" said the strong man with an angry face, although he was in shape as a fitness gentleman, his movements always made people feel a little twisted.

Lukka stayed for a while, and finally recognized Ollie in front of him, he just fooled around when he cast the spell in the morning, and really didn't spend much energy remembering the disguised appearance, especially this type.

Ollie and Nora, the two champions, enjoyed lunch in the main ballroom of the carnival, while the group of friends and family was quickly invited backstage.

The three men sat in the tavern, eating lunch, wasting their time boredly, waiting for the prize after the ceremony.

"Captain, don't look back. Crete, who was concentrating on eating, suddenly whispered, "At the table behind you, two people are sitting down right now. ”

"Well, what's so special? get me?" Lukka continued to eat quietly.

"Those two are supposed to be pirates of the Black Sails. Crete said.

"Are you sure?" said Daniel, apparently lacking Crete's eyesight.

"And they've seen us. Crete nodded affirmatively.

Lukka didn't have time to think about it, and a pungent smell of garlic wafted through the tip of his nose.

Garlic is not uncommon in the Sunset Islands, and tavern cooks like to use it to flavor their meals, but the food here is usually cooked and cooked, so the strong raw garlic flavor is quite noticeable.

"Didn't you tell them that I'm not a vampire......" Luca had the image of the superstitious pirate ship in his head, and there were really not many people who had nothing to do with a bunch of raw garlic on his body.

"Don't make a sound, there's someone again. Crete lowered his voice.

Sure enough, the door to the tavern was pushed open again, and Lukka had his back to the door, and he could only tell from the footsteps that it was three more people who had just entered.

The footsteps of the three men stopped at the table of the two Black Sail Pirates, and one of the unfamiliar voices said impatiently: "I'm urinating here at noon!

A drunken voice muttered a few words, and his messy footsteps hit the two tables, and he staggered away with the three men. It sounded like the first mate on the superstitious pirate ship before.

"What are Black Sails doing here?" Lukka frowned.

Crete shook his head: "This is not normal. No matter how rampant Black Sail usually is, he will not casually run to an island controlled by the Alliance or the Empire. ”

"Don't tell me they're here to drink and dance at the carnival, I don't believe it. Lukka said as he looked in the direction in which the five figures had disappeared.

"I don't believe it either, and you wait for me to come with me. Shut up and whispered in his ear, then flapped his wings twice and flew away, shaking off a pile of feather powder.

"Hopefully they're really just here to drink, let's focus on the mana source. Lukka counted and looked in the direction of the stage.

"Makes sense. Take out the map and take a look?" Daniel said.

"Haven't you seen it several times? Things don't run away on their own again...... Huh?" opened the map, and Lukka was stunned again.

"That's a long leg!" Daniel said, pointing to the point of light.

On the map, the spot of light, which was still in the background in the morning, had moved at least five kilometers at this time, to the west of Layton Harbor.

Leighton Harbour is located on the eastern side of Leighton Island, while the western part of the island is covered with low hills and dense forests. The current direction of the source of mana, from this tavern, is blocked by a small hill. Lukka remembers, though, that when he returned to the Peregrine Falcon last night, he glanced west and there seemed to be a faint hint of starlight.

"There's a building over there, right?" asked Luca Crete.

Kriedt nodded and replied, "Yes." It is the temple of the Knights of the Seas. ”
