Pirate Codex

At noon, the sun hung motionless high above the sky, scorching everything. Even the fruit trees not far away wilted and drooped their branches.

The training ground is surrounded by a low wall made of square stones, which is connected to the old wall of the orchard and wraps the house inside.

At this time, outside the low wall, three small figures appeared furtively.

George Paul carefully put his fingers on the low wall that was hot in the sun, and looked at the three people in the field who were focusing on practice.

Under him was a chubby little man, who was currently holding Paul's feet on his shoulders, balancing precariously.

"Paul, it's noon, we should go home for dinner." Little Fatty looked up at the sun in the sky, took a sip of saliva, and said absentmindedly.

"Shut up, Kevin." Paul's eyes were still looking at the three people practicing, and he yelled angrily without hesitation.

Then he paused again and said with a bit of hatred: "Brother Arthur defeated Uncle Smith and became the most powerful man in the village."

"As long as we can learn from him, one day we will become as powerful as him."

Next to chubby little Kevin stood a handsome child with blue hair and blue eyes. He first glanced worriedly at the listless branches on the orchard wall not far away, and then calmly continued Paul's words:

"Brother Arthur didn't behave like this when he was still in the village a month ago. It must be that during the month he left, Brother Arthur got a way to become stronger."

"Henry, you are right," Paul said excitedly with bright eyes, and the freckles on his face became clearer.

"one month"

"It only took one month for Brother Arthur to become stronger than Uncle Smith."

"As long as Brother Arthur is willing to teach us, we can become very strong."

Paul's face was full of yearning. Thinking of the excitement, he let go of his hand lying on the top of the wall and started to dance and gesture.

"Hey, Paul, please don't move. I can't hold on." Because of Paul's body shaking, the little chubby boy underneath could no longer maintain his balance, and his steps were moving violently left and right, left and right. .

"Be careful, be careful." Henry couldn't keep calm anymore, looked at the two of them anxiously, opened his hands, and wanted to hug Paul who was about to fall.

"Catch me quickly"

"puff"

"Eh~"

"Ouch~"

In the end, Paul could no longer stand and fell from the shoulders of little chubby Kevin, and the three of them became a mess.

"Who"

Arthur, who was lowering his head and concentrating on lifting the iron, was suddenly startled and turned his head to look at the sound.

Arthur stepped out of the tub, picked up a towel and dried his hair and body respectively, then put on his clothes and walked out of the bath feeling comfortable.

Because there is no water supply and drainage system in the village, the bathhouse is built next to the well in the courtyard for easy access to water. In the week since he came to this world, Arthur has become accustomed to cold showers. After all, boiling hot water for a bath is too much. trouble.

"Brother Arthur!" Three respectful shouts came from the side. Arthur tilted his head and saw three people sitting in the living room with low eyebrows.

The living room faced the yard, and the sound of Arthur walking out of the bathroom naturally attracted the three Pauls who were already waiting impatiently.

Edward was sitting opposite the three of them, and turned his head at this time, looking at Arthur eagerly. Bowness was cooking food in the kitchen, preparing for lunch.

Among the three of Arthur Edward and Bowness, only Bowness knew a little about cooking. It was not delicious, but it was barely edible.

The living room is large, but there are no extra decorations. There is only a wooden table and a few wooden chairs, which makes it look very empty.

Arthur laughed, walked into the living room, and after driving the reluctant Edward to take a shower, he sat down in front of the three people, folded his arms, and stared at the three people with gray heads and faces.

In fact, the three of them are similar in age to Arthur, and they often played together as children. However, when they grew up, Arthur, the only son, had to start helping the family and learning to tend the orchard, so they became unfamiliar with each other.

But now, Arthur who has traveled through time has his own steady temperament, coupled with his parents' usual praise of Arthur, and the shock caused by Arthur's defeat of Uncle Smith, the three of them are unable to connect him with their childhood playmate. to one piece.

He felt that the person sitting opposite him now was a rather majestic and powerful man.

Paul's face turned red and he looked at Arthur nervously. He didn't know where to put his hands, and he couldn't make any sound.

Little chubby Kevin rubbed his belly melancholy while looking at Arthur nervously.

Henry was quite calm. He turned to look at Paul who was nervous and speechless, then sighed softly, raised his head and looked directly at Arthur, and said:

"Brother Arthur, we want to become stronger with you"

Paul and Kevin were relieved when they heard this, and nodded towards Arthur like chickens pecking at rice.

Arthur didn't speak, just looked at the three of them quietly.

Compared with myself, these three people belong to the village's super-birth team, and they all belong to the second and third sons of each family. It's not that there is family planning in this village, but in the village, what a family can inherit and give is not many.

For example, in the case of Arthur, the Baileys earned by his parents from running the orchard may be able to support two or even three children, but in the future, only one child will be able to inherit the orchard, and the other children will have to fend for themselves.

Because one orchard cannot support an elderly couple and two families.

The three people in front of them are children who will need to fend for themselves in the future.

George Paul is the third son of Uncle George, a hunter. The profession of hunter attaches great importance to equipment. Swords, bows and arrows and the devices needed to set up traps are all purchased by Bailey. Uncle George's set will only be used in the future. Inherited to eldest son.

Little Fatty White Kevin is the third son of farmer Uncle White, who does not have enough farmland under his name to allocate to Kevin.

Henry Davis is the second son of the fruit farmer Uncle Davis. Similarly, the small orchard run by his parents will only be passed down to the eldest son in the future.

Arthur nodded in his heart. These three people are all suitable members for development. The line of pan-believers in the dream is also stronger than others, but

"If you want to join us, it's not impossible." Arthur looked at the sudden light in the eyes of the three people, smiled, and then said:

"However, becoming stronger is not an easy task. On the contrary, it is boring and difficult. It requires patience and practice day and night."

"Do you have this determination?"

The three of them looked at each other and without much hesitation, they immediately said excitedly and firmly: "Of course we can, we can definitely do it."

Whether you are a hunter, a farmer or a fruit grower, it is not an easy job. Growing up, you have been taught by your parents through words and deeds, and you have long been accustomed to boring and hardship.

"Okay, one last question." Arthur put down his arms, put his hands on the table, leaned forward, and looked at the three of them in detail, with a solemn face:

"What do you think is justice?"
