Chapter 170: Is it okay to take office early?
On the way back, Gray was dejected. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He wandered around Tata Island for a long time, and finally waited for Edward Hugh to hang up and have a chance to fight for a better position, but he did not expect to run into such an unobtrusive captain.
Until the Peregrine Falcon came to shore, he leaned against the railing on the side of the ship in a daze.
But at this time, Luca suddenly became interested.
He carried a backpack, locked the door to the captain's quarters, and prepared to disembark with the crew. When he walked past Gray, he didn't forget to pat him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be stunned, come with us!"
"What are you going to do?" asked Gray, feebly.
"Go to the Hall of Trials, find that Captain Marlowe. "Luca has changed from the lazy form of the previous day.
"Captain Marlowe isn't there, it's not time for the trial to end. Gray didn't want to move at all.
"Where will the senators be?" asked Luca.
Gray pointed in the direction of the town center, "It should be at the 'Risk and Investment Bureau'." ”
"Okay, let's go there, don't be lazy, hurry up and keep up. Lukka walked forward, and Daniel dragged Gray by the shirt.
"Speak well, don't do it! can't I follow?" Gray followed with one step and two steps back.
At the Venture and Investment Bureau, Luca knocked on the door, and Captain Marlowe heard Jack Sparrow's name and greeted him.
Sitting down with everyone through the door, Marlowe stared at Luca's backpack twice and said, "I guess, you're done?"
"That's right," Lukka opened his backpack and pulled out the gold nuggets, "Now, these three trials can be over, right?"
Gray was the last to follow, and before he could sit down, he saw the thing glaring at him and fell directly to the side of the chair.
As if he hadn't seen anyone on the ground at all, Marlowe said to Luca, "Yes. However, you'll still have to wait a full month before you can officially become a Pirate Lord. ”
"Why? Didn't we bring everything?" Ollie was eager to go to the warehouse to help Lukka find the source of mana.
Marlowe shook his head: "There is no one on the island now, how can I hold a ceremony for you?"
As he spoke, he spread his hands: "Even if I want to inform the other trial participants of this result, they are all at sea now, and even Sunset Express can't recruit people back immediately." ”
"That's just as well. Lukka nodded, he wasn't going to break the rules here, "Then I can do some work in advance, like tidying up the warehouse or something." ”
Marlowe was expressionless: "No." ”
"Be accommodation, it's boring to stay on the island for a month!" Lukka decided to stalk.
Marlowe was still expressionless: "No. ”
Seeing that Lukka was still not giving up, he added: "All the power of the pirate lord begins with the ceremony, and before that you were an ordinary pirate. But I can give you an overview of your powers. ”
Idle is idle anyway, Lukka should pass the time, but Kate on the side listened intently, and took out a small notebook to prepare for the record.
"It's not that complicated, don't remember. Marlowe waved his hand and said, "Once you become a pirate lord, you have the power to decide all the affairs of Tata Island in these five years, whether you are crazy or stupid, even if you change your name, as long as you abide by the rules of ancient times here, this island will be yours for these five years." ”
"For ordinary pirates, there is only one rule: do not bring anything to shore at sea. ”
"But for the pirate lords, there is another rule: you can't fill your pockets. You can take 20% of the income from the island, but all the wealth in the storehouse, if you use it, is also this proportion, and all the expenses in excess must be accounted for. ”
This second rule is really necessary, the wealth of Tata Island has been accumulated by pirates for hundreds of years, and pirates are mostly greedy by nature, and without this rule, it may only take a few days to be emptied.
"Nothing else?" Lukka asked.
"It's gone. Marlowe shook his head affirmatively.
"What about the Senate?" Lukka never believed that the Senate would leave nothing after the trial.
"The Senate is only responsible for monitoring whether you are following those two rules. As for the rest, we don't care if you want to deal with other pirates, appoint men, or have any connection to the June Alliance or the Brohn Empire. At this point, Marlowe's only remaining left eye flashed with a sly light.
This old pirate probably had some grudge against the Brohn Empire, and when Edward Hugh was in power, the pirates worked closely with the Empire, and he could not do anything as a member of the Senate.
Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of the test of strength, no matter which captain becomes a pirate lord, it is inevitable that he will have a grudge against the Brohn Empire, and there is no possibility of returning to the original state of cooperation.
Fortunately, Lukka was originally a thorn in the side of the empire, which coincided with Captain Marlowe.
"Captain Sparrow, there are twenty-eight days left until the ceremony. Marlowe was clearly driving people out of the house.
Seeing that there was really nothing to do here, Lukka got up and took his leave. Daniel picked up Gray, who had been lying on the ground, and dragged him all the way out.
"Let me go by myself!" Gray jumped up as soon as he walked out the door.
"You didn't tell me! You didn't tell me! You didn't tell me!" he shouted three times this time.
"Don't you know now? By the way, there doesn't seem to be much amusement on this island. Lukka regretted it again, he had known that he would have fished for a few more days at sea.
In fact, there are quite a few pastimes on Tata Island. In places where pirates gathered, brothels and the like were always the norm.
But now that Luca's crew is mostly female, he can't take a group of girls around the kiln, can he? Ollie's greatsword isn't for the sake of viewing.
Back on the boat, Lukka found another thing to do.
This time, although he came to get the magic source repair staff, he still didn't know anything about how to do it.
"Hurry up and turn it into a book, and let me find a fix!" Lukka said, grabbing him shut up.
Shut up and shook his head: "Not now, I just finished drinking water!"
"What's the point of drinking water?" Lukka asked, confused.
"If I change my book as soon as I drink the water, the pages of my book will get wet!" ”
An hour later, Shut Up finally began to resume its duties as a magic book, but it couldn't remember exactly which book it was written in, so it could only change the books it remembered one by one. Lukka dives headlong into the book and delves into it.
A month of boredom is a long time to say, and once there is something to do, it will soon pass. It's just that his crew suffers, and they can only fight the landlord on the deck every day, and the idle ones are about to get moldy.
