I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 176 175. Elegia!

port.

A sloop with a panda bow docked at the harbor.

The melodious piano music echoed in the surrounding space.

It's as if welcoming visitors from all over the world, and even the air here seems to be filled with a warm atmosphere.

A strong musical and academic atmosphere stands out here.

At the fence, Robin stared blankly at the atmosphere emerging from the environment, his eyes gleaming with nostalgia:

"I feel like I'm in a familiar place. The academic atmosphere about music is everywhere here."

Robin turned his head to look at Mercer and asked softly:
"Can we stay here a little longer? I heard this country has a long history and heritage, so I'm sure it has a rich collection of books."

Mercer looked at Xiong Bao, Ace and the others dropping the anchor and securing the boat, while Yamato and the others couldn't wait to jump in and play, and said with a smile:

"Sure, but I'm not sure if the king here will let you visit their library."

Robin pursed his lips and smiled:
"Yes, I can sense a strong academic atmosphere here. This must be a country that is open and free enough."

Moses laughed and said in the tone of an upstart:
"It doesn't matter if it's not open. You can use our money to open all the barriers."

Robin covered his mouth and laughed softly:

"Thank you in advance, Mercer. It will cost you a fortune."

Waving his hand, Messer smiled and said, "I'm not interested in Bailey."

"So what are you interested in?" Robin asked playfully, "Strength? Delicious food? And beautiful girls?"

Messer looked at Robin in surprise. He didn't expect her to be so accurate. He chuckled and said:

"You got the first two correct. The last one is a little off, but it's not too bad."

Robin rolled his eyes at Mercer. They had lived together for more than four years and knew his character very well.

He prefers strong and beautiful girls.

Robin had been trained a lot by him over the years, but because of this, he clenched his fists and could feel the powerful force surging in his body.

This power is enough to instantly kill my former self from more than four years ago.

He looked at Messer with a dazed look in his eyes and couldn't help grinding his teeth:

"Could you be gentler when you hit me next time?"

Messer poked her three-dimensional nose and said speechlessly:
"Did I call that a beating? Nonsense. I was clearly trying to help you improve your control over yourself, but that's just you. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother with them.

Why don't you look at Yamato and Runti? Aren't they pestering me to spar with me every day?"

Robin sighed and said quietly:

"People are different, and everyone has different priorities. For example, I'm more suited to helping you manage everything, while the two of them are more inclined to be thugs.

I'm a managerial type, and they're armed combat types."

"Are management types born to be slaves? Are armed combat types the bosses?"

Moses revealed the essence in one sentence.

The corners of Robin's mouth twitched violently.

These people in the family are all barbarians who worship power.

Only Sabo and Law are barbarians with some brains.

The rest of the brain is mostly muscle.

Perona is a big asshole.

Eri is still young, and although she is well-behaved, she has the potential to be a barbarian.

As for the guy in front of him, Robin couldn't help laughing:

"Then how about you help me find some natural cattle and horses to come back and help me with the work?"

Messer blinked and said, "Makino is good. She is gentle and smart. She can manage the whole bar by herself. You can train her to be your secretary.

Pepe is smart and can help you, and Asia is very caring and smart."

Robin looked at Mercer with some toothache. He was very accurate in judging people, but forget about those few.

He sighed helplessly, "Let them forget it. I'll just look for them myself at the grassroots level of our newspaper later."

Moses shrugged.

"Then you can do whatever you want. Just tell me when you get back and I'll help you with the final step."

"Hey, what are you two talking about?"

Yamato shouted towards them, waving his hands and laughing happily:

"Come down quickly, let's go shopping inside. There's a song and dance performance over there."

Messer looked in the direction Yamato pointed, and saw that there was indeed an open-air stage not far away, which was surrounded by people.

Glancing at Robin, Mercer smiled and said:

"Come on, let's go to the king's castle and ask him if we can borrow some books."

As he said that, he jumped off the boat and landed lightly on the ground.

Walk towards Yamato and the others.

Robin smiled and jumped down just as lightly, following Mercer.

When they got there, Yamato grabbed Messer's arm and ran over there, laughing non-stop. Runti looked at this scene and muttered with a pout:

"The Horned Power Woman."

He didn't feel that what he said was also an insult to himself.

Coming into the crowd, Yamato took a breath, and with a blushing face, he looked at a young woman with purple hair on the stage who was dancing a charming exotic dance. There were also several supporting actors on the stage who were accompanying her with various musical instruments.

The beauties on the stage, dressed in gorgeous clothes, twist their slender waists in a rhythmic way.

Yamato blinked and looked back at Messer:
"How do you think she dances?"

Mercer smiled and said, "Why? You want to learn?"

Yamato's pretty face flushed slightly, and she quickly shook her head, "I'm not suitable for that kind of dance. My body is too stiff. I can't do it."

Runti, who caught up with him, curled her lips:

"Indeed, you are a big, strong man with arms that can run a bull and hold ten mad wild boars with one hand. I really can't imagine what you look like when you dance."

Yamato's face instantly turned dark, and he looked at Runti unkindly:

"Do you want to be spanked?"

Runti blinked, and suddenly her eyes were blurred with tears. She hid behind Messer in a delicate manner, grabbed Messer's arm and shook it, saying coquettishly:
"Messer, please take care of Dahe. She bullies me all the time and threatens me all the time. I'm so miserable. I live in fear every day.

Sob sob~"

Seeing Runti maliciously covering her face with her arms, even though she was quite good at it, Messer was not moved at all. He even wanted to laugh. He reached out and pinched her cheek, chuckling softly:

"Although it is said that women who know how to act coquettishly have the best life, but Yamato will really beat you up. I can't be partial to you. Besides, you were the one who started it first."

Putting down her arms, she blinked her tearless eyes and murmured,
"It seems that in the end, we still have to use force to solve it."

Yamato clenched his fists and looked at Runti unkindly, "I hope you don't cry today."

"Who's crying? You're the one crying."

Runti was so angry that she pinched her waist with both hands, raised her head slightly and looked at Yamato, staring at her. Yamato lowered his head slightly, with a bad look in his eyes:
"Who else but you? Runti, you crybaby."

The next second, they both charged towards each other, foreheads colliding with each other with a loud bang.

Eyes wide open.

At this time, a stranger in front of him became impatient with the noise and turned around to curse:
"Don't you know how to be quiet in public?"

The next moment, Yamato and Runti glared back at the same time, a fierce aura emanating from their bodies.

"What did you say?"

"Do you want to be spanked?"

Hearing this, the man immediately smiled awkwardly, turned his head quickly, and quickly moved his body to the side.

Mercer rolled his eyes speechlessly and smacked someone on the head:
"Even though you two have a good relationship, you shouldn't fight with each other every time you see each other, right?"

Yamato Runti's eyes rolled up and they said in unison:

"Who has a good relationship with her?"

next second.

"That's not good."
"Don't imitate me."
"Do you want to be beaten?"
"Hmph." X2
The two of them turned their heads away at the same time, looking as if they were disgusted with each other.

Makino brought Eri to Messer's side, took Messer's arm, and chuckled:
"They have a really good relationship and are both really fun."

Mercer laughed and said, "Just a naughty kid. By the way, where are Ace and the others? How come they disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

Makino smiled and said:
"They said they just found a great adventure spot in the sky, and they all ran off to take the risk."

The corner of Messer's mouth twitched: "I hope there won't be any big trouble."

As he spoke, his observation Haki spread out. Elechia was not very big, so Moses' observation Haki could just cover it all.

I also discovered that they had now run to the pasture not far to the east.

What I saw in the sky just now looked like a dairy farm.

"Messer, let's go. The dance here doesn't seem interesting."

"I think you have low self-esteem."

The two started fighting again.

Messer left calmly. Makino looked back at the two of them, smiled, took Messer's arm, and walked towards the castle in the center of the island.

At this time, Perona and Robin came over from not far away, each holding seven or eight strings of candied haws in their hands, and gave one to each of them.

After eating the candied haws, Yamato and Runti calmed down. There were many people walking on the street.

But as you go higher, there are fewer and fewer people.

The buildings on this island are built against the mountain, from low to high, in an orderly manner, with stairs and aisles in between.

You can hear the sound of music from all over the island, but it doesn't feel noisy.

Instead, there is an inexplicable sense of coordination.

As they got closer to the castle on the top of the mountain, Mercer's eyes became more and more surprised. A unique frequency fluctuation appeared in his perception, filled with destruction, chaos, and all kinds of negative emotions. He thought to himself:

“Totemjika”

The observation Haki transcended layers of obstacles, and with his clairvoyant vision, Messer sensed its presence in a secret room at the bottom of the castle.

[Detect the existence of items with legendary properties.]

Item rating: A+
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This was one of the purposes of coming here. To gain a large amount of merit, he needed to consider how to obtain it.

Although the city on this island is called the Kingdom of Music, it is actually not a country in the traditional sense.

There is no royal family on the island.

There was only a famous musician who was obsessed with music. He was elected as the king of the Kingdom of Elegia.

Elegy - Gordon.

There is no army or anything like that on the island, only some ordinary guards who maintain law and order.

However, there is a naval G-series base in the sea not far from Elegia.

G-17 branch.

Walking in the refreshing kingdom of music, the Moses and their companions arrived at the gate of the castle on the top of the mountain.

At this time, two guards standing at the gate stopped Moses and his men. One of them asked with surprise in his eyes:
"I'm sorry, this is the castle of the king of our kingdom. Outsiders who have not received an invitation are not allowed to enter casually."

Moses raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, we didn't know that, but we came here specifically because we heard that Elegia has the most comprehensive music book in the world, and we were so fascinated by it that we wanted to see the original.

Is there any way for us to visit the libraries in this country?"

As he spoke, Messer suddenly appeared in front of him. The next moment, the guard's eyes widened and his body tensed up instantly.

But at this moment, Mercer took out three ten-thousand-dollar bills from his pocket and slowly stuffed them into his coat pocket while he was unable to resist. Then he took a step back lightly, spread his hands and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, we mean no harm. Those three Baileys are for you to have tea with. They're to calm you down."

The guard swallowed hard, completely unable to see the movements, but he was certain that it was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

The guard twitched his lips, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said dryly:
"Wait a moment, then. I'll go in and announce it. In principle, we in Elegia don't refuse anyone who loves music to come and study."

"Thank you very much. Please go and inform them."

The guard nodded, said something to his companion beside him, and hurried into the castle.

Robin walked up and gave Messer a strange look. He nudged Messer lightly with his shoulder and raised the corner of his mouth:
"The method is good."

Moses shrugged.

"I just used the barbarian method of lower body a little bit, showing off my muscles and giving him an advantage."

Robin rolled his eyes at Messer and said, "How about you help me from now on?"

Messer curled his lips: "You want me to be your secretary? No, I'm not suitable for those things."

Robin: “.”

I haven't said it yet.

"Brother, you are awesome."

Eri held onto Messer's arm, raised her head and looked at him in admiration.

Mercer laughed and rubbed the little girl's head.

Yamato glanced at Runti, looking thoughtful.

Runti seemed to sense something and glanced back at Yamato, always feeling that she had bad intentions.

After waiting for about ten minutes, two figures walked out of the castle, one in front and one behind. The one in front was a guard, and the one behind was a tall and thin middle-aged man in his fifties, with a bald head and sunglasses, wearing a gray-green double-breasted coat.

When the man came out, he saw the group of Moses and his men. His eyes flashed with surprise behind his sunglasses. He walked up to Moses, the tallest of the group, and stretched out his right hand:

"Hello, I am Gordon, the king of this country."

Mercer stretched out his hand and shook his, smiling and saying:

"My name is Mercer. I'm sure the guard has already told you. What do you think, Mr. Gordon?"

Gordon put on a kind smile and said, "Alejia welcomes anyone who loves music."

"I understand your request. Would you like to take a look at our country's collection of books?
Yes, as long as you can guarantee that you will not cause any damage, I can allow you to check it out."

I didn't expect this guy to be so easy to talk to.

Mercer smiled and said, "Thank you very much. I wonder when I can watch it? Is there any time limit for watching it?"

Gordon smiled and said, "There's no time limit."

Gordon leaned sideways and made an inviting gesture. "If you want to go now, I have time now. I can take you there."

"That's great, thank you."

Moses smiled and thanked him.

Gordon led the way, and Mercer and the others followed. After a few seconds, Gordon slowed down and walked to Mercer's side, asking curiously:
"Did you come to our Elegia to learn music?"

"We made an appointment with friends to come here, but we arrived early. As for learning music, my family members behind me can do whatever they want."

"I see. There happen to be some teaching courses in the castle. If you are interested, you can go and audit them. If you have talent, we can teach you for free."

"Thank you, we will go."

The two chatted as they walked through the long corridor. When they reached the end, a spacious staircase extending downwards appeared in front of them.

It’s nearly a hundred meters down the road.

The space in front of me suddenly became empty.

It is like an underground stage venue, with five floors. The lights are bright and the ground is covered with red carpet. There are many square tables in the center of the venue, and many people are reading here.

Gordon took two steps forward, turned around and looked at the Mercers. He put his hands on his sides and smiled brightly.

"Welcome all friends from outside, this is the largest library of music books ever collected.

The Kingdom of Elegia welcomes you, my friends."

Messiah looked at the middle-aged man with a subtle expression. Isn't this a bit weird?
At this time, Yamato clapped his hands with a smile, clapping and saying:
"That's right, uncle. That's very well said."

Moses: “.”

The people reading not far away all smiled with good intentions.

"The King is here again."

"Don't you feel a little embarrassed?"

"Keep your voice down, His Majesty the King just likes to play."

"It's a cold scene. Why don't we help him? He looks so pitiful."

"Then come on."

There was a burst of whispering.

Snap, snap, snap, snap.
Sparse but loud bursts of clapping rang out.

Gordon's face turned red, even he felt a little embarrassed.

He rubbed his nose and looked at Messiah and said:
"Then Mr. Messer, please feel free to do as you please. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first. We can talk again when we have time."

"Well, just go about your business."

Gordon fled in panic.

Messer smiled and raised his eyebrows at Robin beside him:
"Go watch whatever you want, but don't overdo it."

"Don't worry, I'll be out by dinner time."

Messer turned around and looked at Makino and the others, "It's the same for you, if there are books you want to read, you can look for them yourself, and if you don't want to read, you can also go browse up there.

Now is free time.”

As soon as Messer finished speaking, Yamato blinked:

"Then I'll go out for a walk. If you need anything, just call me. I have very sensitive ears."

"me too."

Runti said with a smile.

Perona took Makino's arm and pulled Eri along, laughing loudly:
"Then we'll go outside too. Say goodbye to Moses."

In a blink of an eye, only Messer, Robin, Asiya, and Ya Dabao were left here. Messer laughed out loud:
"A bunch of poor students."

He looked at Asiya and asked, "Why don't you go out and play with them?"

"I want to be with you, it's quiet." Asiya looked at Messer cautiously.

Moses held his forehead. Although this girl has recovered her health during this period, practiced hard, and can talk to everyone, she is not very sociable.

He is a fifteen-year-old problem child.

Looking at Robin, Mercer said, "Take a look for yourself first."

Then he looked at Ya Dabao:
"Take Althea and me back to the castle work area."

Ya Dabao: "Okay."

In a ripple of space.

The two disappeared.
