Sitting in the tavern, Luca was very curious. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How can you be allowed to come in here?" not only Luca, but others also had this question. Ever since they entered the tavern, the other pirates around them who were feasting on them had all shrunk away very quickly, for fear that the smell of the tavern would affect their drinking.

"Well, two years ago, the owner of this tavern played cards with me, and I lost only my underwear. I didn't have much interest in his underwear, so I reserved a seat in the tavern forever and offered me free ale. As he spoke, the pirate raised a hand and shook it a few times, and the tavernkeeper immediately pinched his nose and brought over a bottle of ale.

"Well, it's free for me only, and you'll have to pay for it yourself. He added.

"Don't bother with this, we can't eat anything sitting in front of you anyway. Lukka finished speaking, and turned back to meet Nora's expectant eyes.

He sighed and swallowed back what he had just said: "Boss, come here for twenty of your signature packages!"

Lukka arranges the fire elf's feeding plan, and Ollie asks strangely, "You are like this, and someone can play cards with you face-to-face?"

"I took a shower that day!" the pirate's voice sounded proud.

"You haven't showered since then?!" Ollie was utterly defeated by him.

Lukka coughed lightly and turned the subject back: "Let's get down to business, what are your plans to stop us?"

"Okay. The pirate replied with a serious face, of course, covered in sludge and no one could see it.

"Meet Grey Messian, an independent pirate. What is the captain's name?" he said, holding out his right hand to Lukka.

"Just shake hands, my name is ...... Well, Jack Sparrow. Lukka casually uttered a pseudonym that first popped into his head, and began to consider whether or not to paint himself with smoky makeup.

"Okay, Captain Sparrow, can I call you Jack?"

Seeing that Lukka did not object, he continued, "Captain Jack, are you here for this year's trial?"

"Trials, what trials?" asked the anxious Thea before Lukka could answer.

Gray was stunned for a moment, and there was obviously a little more disappointment in his voice: "Isn't it? That's because I saw the wrong person......

"It's okay, let's talk about the trial first?" Lukka was a little curious, as soon as he came ashore, he found that the pirates here, as long as they seemed to have some strength, all looked serious and hurried, obviously preparing for something big.

Gray has been talking to the new pirate captain on the docks for the past few days, and he has only met Luca and a group of people who are willing to talk to him, and if he gives up, he probably won't be able to find another captain. These people are very strong, and if they can be persuaded to participate in the trial, it is not impossible to win.

Thinking of this, Gray took a sip of ale and said, "Every five years, a trial will be held on Tata Island, and the captain with the best results in the three trials will be the lord of all the pirates here in the next five years. ”

"Pirate Lord, like that Edward Hugh?" Lukka asked.

"That's right! He's the champion of the first five trials! No one has been able to surpass him for more than twenty years. Gray paused, as if afraid of scaring Luca and the others away, and quickly added, "But don't worry, he won't be here this year." ”

"Then why?" Lukka asked knowingly.

"News came from the Empire not long ago that the former lord had been killed by that 'Crimson Shadow'. Gray shook his head and said.

"Then why don't you let this Crimson Shadow become a lord directly, isn't he also a pirate?" Ollie said, raising an eyebrow at Luca.

"How's that going to work!If you can take the throne by killing the previous lord, is there still a rule?Wouldn't everyone think of stabbing the leader in the back?Besides, if the navy of the Alliance or the Empire kills the lord, should we find a naval officer to be the pirate lord?" Gray waved his hand repeatedly.

"That's true, so the trial you said is the way to decide the choice of the master?" asked Daniel this time.

Gray looked up at him, feeling something strange. In general, when the captain of a ship is talking to someone else, few crew members dare to interject so brazenly. But this group of pirates was a little special, and it seemed that anyone could say a few words, and the captain listened with a smile, as if he didn't care at all.

However, a ship has the rules of a ship, and he, an outsider, is not good at commenting on this, and seeing that the captain on the other side is also waiting for his answer, Gray nodded and said:

"That's right. There are three parts to the trial, which are the strength trial, the endurance trial, and the ......"

"Wisdom Trial, huh?" Lukka said preemptively.

Gray's eyes widened, "Didn't you say you didn't know?"

"Guess that, guess!" Lukka replied as a matter of course. In the games he played, as long as there was a trial or something, it was basically in this order.

"And what exactly are these three trials going on?" asked Ollie beside him.

Gray shook his head: "I can't say that. ”

"Is it a secret?" asked Ollie.

"Yes. Only on the day of the trial will the Senate announce the details of the trial. Gray replied.

"What is the Senate?" Lukka felt that the word was a bit off-marking, and it didn't sound like it could be associated with pirates.

Gray frowned, and several cracks appeared in the black mud on his forehead. How could these people not even know this? Could it really be that the pirates couldn't be newer?, but he patiently explained:

"The Senate is made up of retired pirates, and as you know, few of those who do our kind of business will die well if they don't change careers early. So it's rare for those pirates who live to be seventy or eighty, and the Senate is made up of them. ”

"Then they won't be in power, what else do you want this lord for?" Lukka was a little puzzled.

"After all, we pirates speak with strength, and although those old guys are still famous, their physical condition does not allow them to continue to be in power on the ship. If a pirate who can't get on a ship wants to fight for power, is it because he thinks he's living too long?" replied Gray.

"Well, so they're enjoying their fortune on the island?" Lukka thought it would be a good retreat for pirates, as long as they ...... To live to that age.

Gray nodded: "It can also be said that what they want to do is to decide the content in advance during each trial, and keep it secret until it is announced in public on the day of the trial." ”

"So, you don't know what's going on?" Lukka asked.
