Chapter 325: The Taste of Laziness
After a week's voyage at sea, we are halfway through the journey back to Birgewater.
Karn climbed onto the mast, smiled and beckoned to Kai'Sha, who was looking up below, and looked towards the stern.
After a while, he climbed down the mast and shook his head at Kaisha.
"Is there still no sign of the Night of the Eclipse?" Kai'Sa asked.
Their plan was to enter the harbor on the night of the Eclipse, and if it didn't reach the night of the Eclipse, they would have to wait at sea until it came.
"Don't worry, it's not evening yet, it stands to reason that it will be here in a few days." Sarah walked over smoking a cigar.
The irregular nature of the Night of Soul Eclipse was a problem at the moment, and they were unable to accurately predict the exact time when the Night of Soul Erosion would come, so their next plan had to wait for the east wind...... The irregularity of the night was also a factor in the horror of Eclipse Night, and many of the ships that did not have time to dock during the night of the eclipse were wrecked, and even forbade fishermen to fish at night in Bilgewater.
Of course, these are just warnings, no one will stop you from going out to sea in the middle of the night, and the result is that every year, someone happens to run into the army of undead in the Night of Soul Eclipse, and becomes the undead who raise their hooks to their living kind.
"We've got to go a little further, or it's not good to run into the black fog here." The experienced Fiyette said that she was sure that only she knew how fast the black fog would spread, and that it would be a terrifying storm that could spread to Bilgewater overnight.
"You're right, I also think we should lean forward a little more." Raven said that they had fought the undead on the night they left, and they had escaped by narrowly, but the night of the Soul Eclipse was a spout of the undead of the entire Shadow Isle, and the difficulty was not the same.
"Why did you wait until the Night of the Eclipse to enter the port?" Lucian frowned, no one had told them anything about it.
"It's not that easy to explain, you just need to know that I'm going to snatch Bilgewater out of the hands of another bastard."
"Meaning we have to help?"
"No, just kill your undead." Sarah tossed the cigar into the sea: "I don't know if that bastard is ready." ”
Until now, she couldn't agree with Cholera's approach, and even when she was a little girl facing the pirate king, she didn't think about giving her life.
Only the cowardly will take revenge with the help of the spear of revenge, and the truly powerful will use all the resources at their disposal to get revenge.
After another two days, the weather suddenly turned colder. A cold wind blows from the northwest on the sea, and the smell of coal and steel is characteristic of Noxus.
In the afternoon, Karn appeared on the deck like a soldier guarding the border, spotting the signs of the black fog.
Afternoon is a warmer part of the day, but even the sun can't dispel the cold of the north wind.
"It's changed." Kai'Sa poked her head out of the fence to look back and forth, the hull of the boat bobbing heavily from the wind and waves, and occasionally a few fish came out of the sea before being slapped back by the waves.
Seeing Kai'Sa shiver from the cold, he hugged her from behind, and the latter grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth.
"Is it warm?"
"Hmm." Kai'Sa tilted her head back, just enough to rest on Karn's deck, her eyes meeting in close proximity, gaze intertwined on the tips of each other's noses, and Nunu's mouth could touch the softest part.
Nothing was more comforting than the warmth of the skin, and it made her want to fall asleep in his arms.
"We haven't seen snow yet, have we?"
"Nope." Kai'Sa said as she searched her memory.
Both Shurima and Bilgewater are in the tropics where there is no snow all year round, and they have to go north to see the snow.
"It's even colder on a snowy day, and the breath of cold air makes your bones tremble, and you can see the hot air you exhale and form hoarfrost when you speak. But people also change into warm coats, and coats usually have big deep pockets, so we can put our hands in the same bag when the time comes. ”
"Sounds like getting into the same bed." Warmed by her lover's body temperature, the quilt was the warmest place Kai'Sa could think of.
"You haven't woken up yet." He sniffed Kai's face, "There's a hint of laziness." ”
"Because in your arms you can never wake up."
"I'm so happy." Karn smiled and pecked at her white earlobe, then said, "The Sirens are almost to Bilgewater, and my little ship is about to sail into the harbor of your heart." ”
The uncontrollable smile was muffled in her nose, and the tickling touch made Kai'Sa shrink her neck shyly and look to the other side. Looking beyond the bow of the siren, she saw the silhouette of the Python Islands directly ahead of the fairway.
A familiar sound of a horn came faintly, and Kaisha's purple eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Do you hear that? It is the horn of the serpent caller. Kai'Sa said that she vividly remembered that on the day she fled from Bilgewater, it was the sound of the horn that attracted the Abyssal Kraken.
"The Bajou are already preparing, summoning sacred beasts to fend off the undead of the Night of Soul Eclipse." Karn smelled nervousness, "That just means that the Night of the Eclipse is coming." ”
"It turns out that they rely on sea beasts to defend against the undead."
"Well, in the teachings of Barjou, the undead are seen as a blatant provocation to Naga Kapolos because they are outside the normal flow of the universe. As the heirs of Naga Kapoulos, the sea beasts became the main force in the fight against the undead...... It's a pity that the blood harbor is stained red with the blood of sea beasts, and no sea beasts want to approach there. ”
"There's no way around it, the people of Bilgewater still have to live on the sea beast industry." Kai'Sa sighed, this can be regarded as self-inflicted, Pike's story can already be seen.
"Profiteering industries often come with great dangers."
In fact, Karn also wondered if it was a natural phenomenon for sea beasts to fight against the undead, and then the Bajou people took inspiration from it to create the Serpent Mother Cult?
But if you think about it, the origin of the Bajou culture is much earlier than the appearance of the Eclipse Night, and the miracles of Aloy can be seen, and no one knows what kind of god Naga Kapolos is.
"What are they doing?" Kai'Sa wrenched a hand out of Karn's embrace and pointed at the two men on the foredeck.
The Sentinels of Light, Lucian and Senna.
Two men crouched on the ground, holding something shiny in their hands, pointing at a sack full of miscellaneous items.
"I don't know, go check it out."
Karn hugged Kai'Sa around him, like a paralyzed man in rehabilitation, swaying in small steps on the ship.
