'Yesterday's City' Jesteadern, central square 'Heinholm'.

This is the sacred place where the Hunter Association was officially established, and it is also the venue for the previous Hunter Qualifier Trials.

At this time, the huge square was already crowded, and tens of thousands of people poured into the square to watch the upcoming opening ceremony.

The Tezzolo trio was also scrambled through the crowd. Mozart tried to protect his mustache and panted, "Hell, are there so many people signing up?" Lao Tzu's underwear is going to be squeezed out! ”

Tezzolo's meticulously combed dark green back was already messy, and he squeezed the fat man beside him hard and said with difficulty: "These ...... Most of these are tourists and locals! In recent years, no pirates have dared to approach the waters around Jesteadern, and the hunter tryouts are held here at a fixed time every year, so the island has gradually become the most popular tourist destination in the South China Sea. ”

Dontern touched his shaved scalp, pushed his arm open to the man next to him, and took the opportunity to pull Tezzolo and Mozart forward.

When they got to the front, they found that although the square was crowded, everyone spontaneously left enough space for the podium in front of the square.

"That's it...... Victor announces the official establishment of the Hunters' Association! Mozart looked at the podium full of sacred meaning and was excited. Not only him, but Dontenn was also very excited, and they were both big fans of Victor Chain.

This was the sixth time that Tezzolo had seen the podium, and he was much calmer than the two of them.

The hour hand of the huge bell tower directly north of the square pointed to the square, and as the huge bell rang out, a figure stepped onto the podium.

Seeing that figure, the crowd instantly erupted in an incomparably enthusiastic mood.

"Oh oh oh oh!! It's the president who is there in person!! President!! ”

"President! President!! ”

"Lord Victor!! Please sign me! ”

Looking at the dashing figure in a black suit and a black coat, Mozart and Donten's eyes widened and murmured, "That's ...... [Murder Chain] Victor!" ”

Not only the tourists and the public, but also the contestants were excited. Over the years, the name of Victor has gradually become a legend, and every bounty hunter admires and adores him from the bottom of their hearts. Who would have thought that Victor, who has rarely appeared in recent years, would actually come to the game in person!

In the crowd, the 'spider' Spader, who was honestly standing on the ground, stared at the figure on the podium, with both deep jealousy and complex yearning on his face, nothing else, this was simply an admiration for the strong man standing at the top of the world.

The 'blind man' held the wooden staff in both hands all his life, and listened to something with his head tilted slightly.

On the podium, Victor stretched out his hands and pressed down slightly, and the noisy and chaotic huge square became quiet for a few seconds.

"To all of you, welcome to the Heinholm Square in the 'City of Yesterday'."

Compared with the appearance of five years ago, Victor is now nearly 2 meters tall, with his blonde hair combed back into a meticulous back, his handsome face still has no beard but can no longer see the slightest bit of youth, and the whole person exudes a strong personal charm all the time. With his left hand, wearing black leather gloves, he held a small and delicate telephonic bug to his chest, and his gentle and elegant voice resounded throughout the square through the amplification equipment:

"Six years ago, I stood here to announce to the world the founding of the Hunters' Association. Today, I can happily tell you that we did. ”

"All the bounty hunters are united, and there are no longer only navies and pirates on this sea."

"Every bounty hunter with a heart of glory can proudly claim to have the entire Hunters' Guild behind them. As always, the Association will provide the strongest support to all its members. ”

"And we're no longer limited to hunting pirates for bounties, the seas are all over our footprints. Music Hunter, Food Hunter, Guardian Hunter, Relic Hunter, Beast Hunter...... The Hunters' Guild welcomes all individuals with unique skills to join. ”

"Want to follow your dreams? Want to take it a step further? Then come and let the world know what you are capable of through the Hunters' Guild Qualifiers! ”

"I hereby announce that the 6th Hunter Qualifying Tournament ......"

"It's officially started!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire Hehenholm Square instantly erupted into an incomparable wave of enthusiasm!

In the crowd, Mozart's eyes flashed with tears of excitement, and he suddenly felt that he had an extremely firm belief in the goal - to become a real hunter! Be sure to successfully pass the tryouts to qualify!

Victor's figure disappeared from the podium at some point. Accompanied by a deafening wave of voices, a white dove wearing a black top hat fluttered down next to the telephonic bug on the podium, cooed twice, and then spoke:

"Goo-goo...... Can everyone hear me? OK！ Participants, I believe that you have already received your own number when you registered, please keep the number ticket properly. This gadget will be crucial to whether you can pass the selection contest or not. ”

Mozart suddenly remembered that he had indeed received the number 367 number plate when he signed up, and it turned out that there was another use for it...... He felt in his pocket and found that the number plate was still there, but fortunately he hadn't thrown it away. Donten, who was beside him, turned pale and began to frantically dig into his pockets and rummage through his backpack.

The square gradually fell silent, and the pigeon Lafayette pushed the black top hat on his head, and continued: "As the examiner of the first round of the competition, I announce the content of the examination - the successful arrival on the uninhabited island of 'Rafaam', within 48 hours. As a friendly reminder, your performance in the competition will be counted towards the total score. So...... See you at 'Rafam Island'! ”

With that, the pigeon fluttered and flew away.

The people watched Lafayette leave in amazement, and there was silence for a few moments before a loud roar erupted.

"Rafam Island? What the hell is this place! Didn't the official even give a coordinate? ”

"Who knows where Rafam Island is? I'll pay for it! 100,000 Berry! ”

"I'll give 200,000!"

"Where's the ship! Those present are all competitors, and the ship cannot be destroyed! Hurry to the docks! ”

"Idiot, it's the key to buy supplies first!"

The Mozart trio slipped out of the crowd and found a relatively quiet alley to study countermeasures.

"The first round was as simple as that? Is it good to just get to the island? Dontenn touched the back of his head and said innocently.

Mozart leaned against the moss-covered wall with his arms crossed, frowned and said, "It won't be that simple. First, the number plate is mentioned to make everyone realize that they are competing with each other, and then an island is given with only a name, no nautical charts and coordinates...... Should it be said that the first round was so difficult? ”

"Every game has its own unique direction." "If I'm not mistaken, the first round of this competition should be a test of the contestants' nautical ability, teamwork and target search ability," said Tezzolo, crouching on the ground and rummaging through the charts in his backpack. After all, we all eat on the sea, and if you want to sail, one person is not enough. ”

Dontenn couldn't understand it even more: "So, what should we do now?" ”

"No, there is absolutely no information about Rafam Island on the charts." Tezzolo lay on the ground and spread out the charts to compare the icons: "Which of you has the better boat?" ”

"I—I'm here on a merchant ship......" Dontenn bowed his head in shame.

Mozart twisted his mustache and said with a smile: "My 'Love Saxophone' is a brig, and the style and specifications are all imitations of the great ship 'Beagle', and the supply of materials is about 1 month's stock. ”

Tezzolo thought for a moment, "Then use Mozart's ship." Dontenn went to the docks to protect the ship, and we had about 2 hours to gather intel on Rafamm Island. ”

"2 hours? That's too little! "Mozart twisted his mustache more often.

Tezzolo pouted out the alley, only to see runners running everywhere. Everyone is rushing to buy supplies, or buying information about Rafam Island at high prices.

The whole of Jesteudn was in a frenzy.

"Believe me, from the moment the competition starts, the behavior of all our contestants has been incorporated into the [raters]'s field of vision."

Tezzolo lowered his voice and said, "And it's not that it's safe to arrive on Rafam Island within the time limit, I'm afraid the time of arrival will also be used as an important scoring criterion." ”

"Rating? What's that? "Dontenn felt like he was running out of brains.

"I'll talk to you about the scoring when I'm on board, let's take action!"

Tezzolo clapped his hands, and the three of them sprang into action.
