Mr. Pate of the Coconut Fruit Challenge may be the legendary hero Phantom Thief, after the news of this exciting news spread, the adventurers in the Gold Coast were all excited, no wonder the organizer of the Coconut Fruit Challenge threw thousands of dollars, it turned out that he was the richest man in the adventure world - the strange thief Pate!

Phantom Thief! He's a legendary hero!!

Some people think that if they can meet the legendary characters, it will be enough for them to brag with their friends and neighbors, and they will have more face!

Some people also think that if they can get the appreciation of heroes, so as to get some guidance or some high-quality equipment, then their strength can be greatly improved.

Some people also think that it is so good to be a disciple of the Phantom Thief!! Robbing the rich and helping the poor, elusive, as a second-generation thief in the adventure world, just thinking about it makes people feel very excited.

Also, some female adventurers think that if they can capture the heart of the Phantom Thief and the Monster Thief Pate, then she will be the richest lady in the entire adventure world.

But they were just thinking about it, and they all knew that the chance of such a thing happening was almost zero, and as for the female adventurers who wanted to be noblewomen, what they thought about was nothing more than delusion.

Pate had recently gone to Aria's grave to pay his respects, and no one in this world would be able to enter his heart.

When the confirmation of the Coconut Fruit Challenge has ended, and everyone is looking for the organizer of the Coconut Fruit Challenge to announce the winner, Pate mysteriously disappears!

Just when the adventurers thought that Pate would never appear again, a huge and magnificent flying ship pierced through the clouds red by the setting sun and slowly descended into an open space next to the stage.

The elevator of the flying ship slowly descended into the sand, and out of the flying ship came an old man with long white hair and a white beard, who was Pate's most faithful butler, Alfred. Behind the butler are Mohadi, a black bodyguard dressed in the style of Ariante, and Senmere with beautiful dark red curls, who is also one of Pate's most trusted bodyguards. Then came out the Phantom Pate, whose gorgeous gentleman's suit, pale blonde hair and soft blue eyes amazed countless adventurers. The last to come out were two maids, a black-haired maid with black-rimmed glasses who was in charge of eating and drinking, and a big-eyed, orange-haired maid with a doll's face, Shinamon.

Of course, as the world's richest man, the Phantom Thief Flying Ship is far more than a few of them.

For example, the captain of the flying ship, Hults, the storekeeper Uryu, the intelligence analyst Christine, Mao, and Luminos, who relied on his flying ship to recuperate, were still in the flying ship.

In their words, instead of wasting time meaninglessly like this, it is better to seize the time and get on with the work. After all, Pate's flying ship, the Crystal Garden, is the economic hub of the entire adventure world. Even if there is just a slight mistake, the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce may have extremely serious losses, although this situation has never happened, but it is always better to prevent problems before they happen

★?????????????????? ★

Surrounded by everyone, Pate stepped onto the podium shiningly.

"Good evening, adventurers! I'm Faldis. Pate, you can call me Pate, or Mr. Pate. It is my honor to invite you to participate in this Coconut Fruit Challenge, where I will personally present the prize money and prizes to the winners. When Pate finished speaking, the crowd cheered.

"Pate! Petpet! The adventurers in the audience have involuntarily and regularly shouted out Pate's name, and these voices represent their truest blessings and hearts.

"Na! Nebula, one day I will be like Mr. Pate, to be able to be respected and recognized by the whole adventure world! After Yuta saw the popular Pate, she was very envious and jealous and said to Xingyun.

After seeing the gorgeous lineup in front of and behind Payt, Claire said: "As a thief, if only I could have one percent of the strength and wealth of Lord Payt." ”

Anne and Kevin join the adventurers in frantically shouting out Pate's name, and it seems that they do not worship the legendary heroes.

Xingyun whispered "cut", secretly in his heart: how can there be such a handsome person in the adventure world? Wasn't Pate still chatting with us just now, why didn't we see him for a while, and he returned to the flying ship.

Pate smiled and made a silent gesture.

Two seconds later, no one on or off the stage opened their mouths to speak, and the Gold Coast was suddenly silent, and the stage, which was still some distance from the coast, could clearly hear the sound of distant waves crashing on the shore.

"I now announce that the winner of the Coconut Fruit Challenge is Glaar. Nebula! Congratulations everyone! Pate also took the lead in clapping his hands after he finished speaking on stage.

Under the leadership of Pate, all the adventurers in the audience applauded enthusiastically.

Xingyun blushed slightly, and slowly walked from the back of the stage to the front of the stage, this time the audience, no one in the audience was sarcastic or ridiculed Xingyun, even if some people were reluctant, he could only reluctantly pretend to be very happy and laugh.

Because this is a tournament run by the Strange Thief Pate, if you reveal any dissatisfaction when he announces the results, doesn't that mean that you are dissatisfied with Mr. Pate?

However, Wigginson, who stood in second place on the stage, didn't think so, he thought that this first place should be his, and Nebula, the little ghost, simply hired an adventure team to win the first place for him, and those teammates who appeared on the stage were just his disguise.

Looking at Nebula, who was applauded and cheered by everyone in front of the stage, Wigginson's heart became more and more unbalanced, and he couldn't help but want to question Mr. Pate at last.

"I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life. This is a very famous saying from the Earth Defense Headquarters, "It's my luck to be able to get it, and it's fate to be able to get it." Probably guessing what Wigginson was trying to say, Pate whispered to Wigginson.

"Besides, Nebula's kid and his adventure party are all important to me, so don't do anything irrational." Pate patted Wigginson on the shoulder and said to Wigginson with some menacingness.

Pate slowly walked up to the stage, rubbed Nebula's pale blue hair, and said to Nebula, "You take this trophy first, the real prize will be received in a few days." ”

Although Nebula didn't know what the thief Pat was trying to say, he nodded silently.

The moment Nebula held the trophy alof, fireworks rose everywhere.

"Whew~~~~Boom!! Crackling"

Red, yellow, blue, green, and purple fireworks flew into the sky, and then "Bang! The explosion exploded, scattering a little starlight.

The seaside festival has officially begun!!

★?????????????????? ★

At the same time, in a stone house on the top left boulder summit of the Warrior Tribe-

There is a living room and two bedrooms in the stone house, and the decoration of the stone house is very simple, except for a magic lamp for lighting and four chairs and a table for greeting guests, there is nothing in the living room.

A black-haired boy in a blue kendo uniform and pigtails around fifteen or sixteen years old stood respectfully in front of the stone chair, on which sat a young man in the same costume with a slight stubble on his chin.

"Father, my Phantom Wood Sword broke during the battle with the Giant Crab, all because it was only a wooden sword. Father, I wish I could use a sword made of metal, or my strength will suffer. The young man said very respectfully to his father, but there was also a faint hint of dissatisfaction in his words.

If he had used a powerful metal sword at that time, he might have been able to take on the giant crab alone without using Nebula.

That's what McGonagall thinks, at least for now.

McGee didn't accede to McGonagall's request, nor did he refuse, he just silently took out a random sword from the pile of swords in the corner of the stone house and threw it in McGonagall's direction.

McGonagall took the sword with ease, and he pulled it out of its scabbard at McGee's motion.

This is!! Thirty-five level of the Plateau Sword!! Could it be that my father was planning to give this sword to himself?

McGonagall wondered how her stern father could be so good at talking today.

"Use it, slash at me!" McGee picked up the half of the hilt of the Phantom Wood Sword that had fallen from the ground, and said to McGonagall in a firm and unquestioning tone.

Although she didn't know her father's intentions, McGonagall nodded earnestly.

McGonagall held the sword in both hands, and did not use any fighting energy or skills, but just raised it above her head and slashed at the phantom wood sword held by her father.

How is that possible?! What's going on?

At the moment when McGonagall slashed the wooden sword with the Plateau Sword, the wooden sword that was supposed to break like tofu not only did not break, but stubbornly resisted the Plateau Sword's slash.

After the two swords separated, McGonagall took the broken Phantom Wood Sword from McGee's hand in disbelief.

Except for an extremely tiny gap that was difficult to see with the naked eye, there was no substantial damage at all where the Phantom Wood Sword was slashed.

"Father, father, what the hell is going on?" McGonagall scratched her head and asked McGee, puzzled.

McGee explained lightly to McGonagall, "I made this Phantom Wood Sword from the trunk of the Baltomian Tree. ”

The Baltomian Tree, isn't that the hardest tree in the adventure world?

Could it be said

"Although the attack power of this Phantom Wood Sword is not high, if it is strong, it is enough to compare to the Plateau Sword in your hand." McGee said as she slowly approached McGonagall.

McGee took the Highland Sword from McGonagall and threw it back into the corner of the stone house.

"McGonagall, do you still think your defeat this time is the cause of the sword?" McGee asked with her eyes fixed on McGonagall and with some deep eyes.

The blushing McGonagall lowered her head and shook it slightly, and the braid on his head swayed slightly from side to side with McGonagall's head, as if even the braid did not approve of McGonagall's statement.

Stroking McGonagall's head and rubbing McGonagall's shiny hair, McGee asked McGonagall in a deep voice, "McGonagall, what do you think is the most important thing as a swordsman?" ”
