Chapter 165: Endurance Trial

"You're not as knowledgeable as an illiterate?!" shut up and still yelled unrelentingly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Tell the truth!" Lukka pulled a peanut out of his pocket and stuffed it into the parrot's mouth along with the shell, blocking the rest of its grumbling.

Ollie was still not very reassured: "How do I think those old pirates know that you are cheating?"

"Of course they know, what can get away with it on this island?" said Gray, "but don't worry, as long as you don't follow that Foster's example and go straight to the muzzle of the gun, they won't say it." ”

"Why is that? We haven't given them any benefit. Lukka was also confused.

"Cheating without being found is part of the trial. Gray laughed, "Otherwise, how could Edward Hugh win the championship time and time again?Captain Sparrow, this is Tata Island, you don't think the test of wisdom here is the same as those nerd exams in the Alliance or the Empire, right?"

"So, that fat guy is also cheating?" Luca was still a little obsessed with this.

Gray shook his head, "He's really not. Don't look at that fat man's illiterate, his memory is very famous on Tata Island!"

"Forget it, I've passed this level anyway, what's the content of the next trial?" Lukka didn't plan to dwell on what was already over.

Gray replied, "The trial in three days is an endurance test, and it takes the whole ship to participate. ”

"What's the exact?"

"The Senate had thrown an iron box into the sea somewhere in advance, and the captain who was the first to catch it and bring it back to Tata Island three days later won. Gray thought for a moment and added, "There is no tie this time!"

"What's in the iron box?" Thea was interested, the box sunk to the bottom of the sea, and it sounded like there was a rhythm of something good.

"It's just a few rocks in there, the stuff doesn't matter, the point is to pick it up!" Gray's answer disappointed Thea.

"And what if no one picks it up?" Lukka asked, this possibility must exist, and it is only a little better to find a box in a haystack than a needle in a haystack.

"If you don't pick it up, you have to return within three days, otherwise it will be considered a waiver. If no one picks it up, it depends on who fishes out something more valuable, and this is completely up to the preferences of those in the Senate. Gray replied.

"It's just fishing, and it doesn't sound like it's difficult. Lukka didn't say much, even in places like the ruins of the seabed, they came back safely, a box sunk at the bottom of the sea, didn't they get their hands on it?

"Don't take it lightly, the place where you threw the box is not a shallow sea, and you can't get it by swimming a few times!" Gray looked at Luca's nonchalant look, a little anxious.

Lukka immediately understood what he was actually trying to say: "Listen to you, you've got the direction of the box?"

"That's right, you don't look at who I am!" Gray said, picking up the pen and paper on the table, and writing down a coordinate, this time the information he memorized directly with his brain.

Lukka took the coordinates and compared them on the chart, which was about 200 nautical miles southwest of Tata Island, which was not very far. The chart shows the depth of the vicinity, which is about 90 meters.

For most people, this is a depth that is simply impossible to reach. It's not that it's because of the length of time you hold your breath, but because at this depth, the sea water puts a lot of pressure on your lungs, and some people even faint because of it. Even with a diving bell providing air, it would be extremely dangerous to salvage something from such a depth.

"By the way, you have a diving bell on board, right?" asked Gray, worried.

"Well, there is. Lukka nodded, but what he didn't say was that the diving bell was on the Silent Reaper, not the Peregrine Falcon. Moreover, there were already several cracks on it that had been split by Thea's lightning.

"That's good, the diving bells on this island should have been bought out, and now you can't go to sea to buy them on other islands, if you don't have them, it's very troublesome. Gray relieved himself.

"Can't go to sea, what's wrong?" Lukka thought about it, and it was true that he hadn't seen a single ship leave the harbor since yesterday.

"Not really, it's because of the endurance trial, and the Senate temporarily forbade all ships from going to sea, and they couldn't set sail until the trial began, lest anyone run out to catch something in advance. ”

Lukka suddenly realized something: "Wait, what the hell is the use of you giving me this coordinate? Anyway, it will be announced in three days!"

"This ...... I'm just providing information, and it's up to you to decide how to use it, Captain Sparrow!" Gray was not wrong with that, the obligations written in the contract were indeed limited to that.

Sending Gray away, Luka didn't seem to do much for the next three days. In the eyes of the pirates around him, he slept in the shade under the coconut trees almost every day, as if he didn't take the endurance test seriously at all.

Even so, those competitors did not dare to underestimate it, although the Peregrine Falcon was camouflaged, as long as it was mixed at sea, it could be seen at a glance that the speed of this ship was definitely one of the best.

The endurance test is not about speed, but about staying power in the sea, but if you can get to the designated place earlier, you will have a better chance of winning after all.

Three days later, after Ollie had defeated the forty-three pirates who had tried to destroy the Peregrine Falcon, the Senate finally announced that the Endurance Trial had begun.

Gray's information was so accurate that the coordinates were exactly the number after the decimal point.

When the order was given, most of the ships immediately set sail, causing quite a bit of confusion on the crowded docks. In order to get ahead, several ships collided on the dockside, and the slightly thinner ones had to be towed back to the dock for repairs before they even started.

Instead of joining in the fun, Lukka argues with Gray on the docks.

"Why don't you let me get on board, I can help!" Gray didn't expect to be ruthlessly rejected.

"The deed doesn't say let you get on board. "It's not that Lukka has much of a problem with him, it's just that these people on the ship are all disguised, and Gray usually doesn't come to the gang, if he has been following the ship for days, there are only a few crew members on the ship, and the fact that there are only a few crew members on the ship will definitely be exposed.

"No, I can help you find a place!" Gray was unwilling.

"You look down on our navigator, don't you?" Luca said stiffly.

"Hurry down, don't delay us out of port!" Ollie waved a large broom and drove Gray off the ship, the disguise worked so well today that even the greatsword turned into this.

Gray had no choice but to watch as the Peregrine Falcon hoisted its sails and sailed away from Tata Island.
