Chapter 35: I owe a favor again

"Bang, bang."

The first sound was the sound of Izawa landing on the ground, he landed on an empty wooden boat, and the second was the sound of Treasure Hunt Team No. 1 landing, he fell into the water, splashed a splash and disappeared with an "ah" sound...

Izawa rubbed his aching head, but fortunately he didn't hit his face to the ground. When he got up to look for No. 1, he found that he had landed and smashed the ship out of a large hole, almost missing it. Izawa looked at the big pit on the small wooden boat, "Is my head so hard" said and looked around, "It's good that no one sees it, slip quickly." "I don't care about looking for the number one who fell into the water.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The remaining three members of the treasure hunt team also landed smoothly with Fitz, and were lying on the shore looking for the figure of No. 1.

Number two: "Boss, where are you, boss?" ”

Three: "Obviously, the boss is in the water. ”

Four: "Well, I saw that too. ”

Izawa: "... ”

Just as Fitz was about to try to go into the water to save people, No. 1's head came out of the water, and he squirted out a mouthful of water with a "snort", and the three members of the treasure hunting team were in the search.

"What do you shout?" Number One slowly climbed up from the water, droplets running down his clothes.

"You still don't take off your clothes like this?" Izawa glared at No. 1 who was as embarrassed as a chicken in soup, "But it's okay, I already know your identity." This is what Izawa said in his heart.

—————————————————————————————————————— finally arrived in Bilgewater, and you can see the bustling city of the water from up close. Closer to the open sea, you can see the whole picture of Bilgewater and its busy harbor, which is lined with sails and boats, and further afield, you can see the white houses and towering lighthouses of the city. The incessant sound of whistles marked the busy people here, and the fishing boats were moored in the harbor, and there were salvage boats lined up, smaller wooden boats, larger merchant ships, and heavily armed warships. The water is dotted with a variety of buildings, indicating the perfect system here.

And what caught Izawa's attention the most was from the cliff they had just jumped down, and now standing in the port of Bilgewater, looking at the mountain range, like a half-moon shaped arm. It can also be compared to a huge sea crab with two large pincers, and the space between the two large pincers is the port of Bilgewater.

Ize finally understood why Bilgewater was called a natural harbor: from the northern part of Blue Flame Island all the way to here, there were endless mountains and towering dense forests. The only gap in the south is the wide, easily defensible natural harbor of Bilgewater.

"Hmm. So let's put them separately here. Treasure Hunt Team No. 1 dragged the dripping clothes as if nothing had happened.

"I think you're looking for a place to change your clothes." Izawa smiled secretly, but said, "Are you leaving, I'm so reluctant." "Anyone can see Izawa's fake demeanor.

Number two: "He even said he couldn't bear us." ”

Three: "I don't feel it. ”

Four: "Me too." ”

No. 1 ignored the three of them, and flicked his hand to bring up a drop of water and threw it on the faces of the three people, "Then we'll see you at the fair." ”

Izawa patted his chest and grinned, "See you at the fair." ”

And No. 1 didn't pay close attention to Ize's chest slapping action, and led the three people who were still in love with Fitz to leave a water mark on the ground and walked out of Ize's sight.

"Hey, hey, are you stalking me?" Ize looked at the treasure hunting team as they drifted away. Unbeknownst to Ize, when he first arrived at Port Bilgewater, he had already fallen into the spotlight.

"Hey, Ize. Where do we go next? Fitz was obviously a little excited to see so many new things on the water for the first time.

"Oh, the trade is tomorrow. Now, we're going to find the merchant ship that brought me to Blue Flame Island. "Izawa looked at the huge port, it was really not easy to find a merchant ship. Izawa thought that although Captain Ragu and his party were rescued from Planck's men, they would inevitably encounter other pirates, but on second thought, ordinary pirates were no match for merchant ships. Either way, you must reach Bilgewater safely.

Ezawa walked aimlessly in the forward harbor of Bilgewater, looking for a group of merchant ships, occasionally pulling passers-by to ask if they knew of merchant ships from Ionia, but Fitz was visibly overjoyed...

"Wow!"

A noblewoman walked past Izen and Fitz with a brown puppy, Fitz jumped up and took the trident and was about to insert it into the puppy, Iza hurriedly grabbed Fitz, and the noblewoman was obviously frightened by Fizz's fierce appearance, and stood in place and looked at it in a daze. Izawa apologized apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Just caught a fish and was not sensible. Then he quickly pulled Fitz and fled.

This is the first time I don't know how many times Fitz has made such a move along the way. As long as you see something you don't know, whether it's a living thing or a dead thing, a cat or a dog, a flower or a tree, you have to take a fork and go forward and poke it.

"Is it true that in your world, there is only two kinds of things that can be eaten and those that cannot be eaten?" Izawa bared his teeth and looked at Fiz viciously.

"Isn't it?" Fitz blinked and looked at Izawa innocently with wide eyes.

"Hey." Izawa sighed.

"Huh! Why did my ship have a big hole, the boat was still fine when I just left, how can I explain this to the eldest lady. It's that bastard ¥##@......%"

Just as Izawa and Fitz were arguing, a voice rang out next to them.

Izawa was secretly frightened, "It can't be... ”

Yes, Izawa and Fitz walked aimlessly, back to where they had just landed, and the water stain dragged out by Treasure Hunt Team One was still clearly visible on the ground. And the small wooden boat under the man's feet was a big pit smashed by Izawa when he landed.

Izawa peeked at him, and the man was still cursing angrily. Izz pulled Fitz around an alley, and fled without looking back.

"Whew." Ize, who was panting and puffing, looked back and steady: "Well, it's already far away from that port." But how do you go to Captain Raghu and them? Forget it, don't worry about it for now. Izawa thought as he surveyed his surroundings, a relatively bustling street in the harbor. On both sides of the street, there are native Bilgewater and foreign traders selling sample formats, as well as all kinds of strange water monsters and sea beasts caught by pirates. In this street where people come and go, side by side, thieves, merchants, handymen, pirates, all kinds of people of three religions and nine streams, cows, ghosts, snakes and gods can all be encountered, and Izawa has just walked a few dozen meters before he senses that there are at least three pretending pedestrians who are casually passing by and stretching out their hands to wrap themselves. And the way to distinguish pirates is also very simple, here, pirates do not need to hide their identities at all, they all wear high three-cornered hats, and carry weapons of one kind or another in their hands. In a seaport city like Birgewater, the pinnacle of success is having a ship of its own and a few crew members.

In the port of Bilgewater, you can meet a lot of outsiders who carry packages like Izawa, but most of them are here for business, and I know that there are a few people like Izawa who are here for the first time.

Ize didn't know where he was going, Captain Raghu and his party didn't find him, and the fair didn't start until tomorrow. After walking aimlessly down a street, Izawa saw a large square and walked towards it, which was also bustling with people, of course, this was not what attracted Izawa.

"Have you seen this, Fitz?" Izawa pointed to a large statue in the middle of the square. It was a statue of a serpent head, carved from some material, and there was a long green light around it, and Izawa thought that it might be some kind of strange stone in the sea. The delicate and dense scales on the snake's body are slightly protruding outward, and the upper part of the statue is full of normal female appearance, and its face is quite soft, like the Virgin of Mercy. Only the head is high, but it spits out the letter of the snake, and this sharp visual contrast makes people look creepy.

And Fitz's answer is also simple and straightforward: "I haven't eaten it." ”

“。。。 This may be the belief of the locals. Izawa thought to himself. But it looks like a kraken. But I don't care, I just believe in science. ”

Just as Ize was looking at the statue, he didn't know that there were already several people behind him who were holding wooden sticks in their hands and slowly walking towards Izawa. "Are you sure that kid smashed your wooden boat?"

"I'm not too sure... It's just that someone saw that he was the only one who haunted the neighborhood after the wooden boat was smashed. ”

"Oh, look at that kid carrying a package, he should be an outsider who has come to do trade, so let's extort a sum of money first. Ahahahaha. ”

Izawa was still attracted by the bizarre statue and looked up. And the dexterous Fitz had spotted several people approaching in a malicious form with wooden sticks.

Fitz tugged at Raize's sleeve, "Those people in the back seem to be looking for you." ”

"Oh?" Ize turned around and saw a slender figure leading four or five big men with big sticks walking over.

"Boy, you are the one who destroyed my ships" spoke to the slender figure of the leader, and his voice had a delicate taste.

"Uh... Men. "Izawa didn't listen carefully to what she said about destroying ships. Instead, he looked at this group of people incomprehensibly. Four or five fierce men stood beside a delicate little girl, and they were called subordinates, and they didn't dare to gasp in the air, and they looked like they were only looking at the horse. What's even more polite is that she actually called me a brat! Izawa looked at this combination with interest, and couldn't figure out the origin of the other party for a while.

"Little girl, the boy is not screaming." Izawa looked at the little girl in the lead, her waist-length red hair was very similar to Katerina's, and although there was a smile on her face, it was not difficult to see the cruelty hidden under the smile. With two long firearms stuck in his waist and a tall pirate tricorn hat, he exudes maturity that should not be present at this age. Well, in general, she is still a pretty little girl, so let's give it eighty points, Izawa thought secretly.

Seeing that this man was disrespectful to the leader, several of the girl's subordinates were about to surround him with wooden sticks in their hands. Fitz held up his trident and stared at the group with wide eyes.

The red-haired girl stopped her subordinates' urge to make a move, and smiled seductively at Izawa: "Look at you, you are an outsider who has just arrived in Bilgewater." I don't blame you if I don't know my name. Excuse me, are you here to seek refuge or to die? With a tactful smile, he suddenly changed his tone and looked at Izawa coldly: "An outsider like you, I don't know how many heads I have to blow up in a year." ”

Izawa understood the meaning of her words: "I think you may have misunderstood, I am not some fleeing criminal. I've long heard that Bilgewater is a paradise for criminals, but I can't get to the street where anyone is a criminal. ”

"Oh, then you're a vendor from afar. Speaking of the boat, you're the only one out of the mooring, and if you don't want to be bait, leave your parcel and your belongings behind. ”

"As for the ship, I really broke it unintentionally. I don't know how much it cost to repair that ship, I don't have much gold on me. You can take them all if you need them. "Izawa broke the boat and escaped and was discovered, so he spoke very politely. But he silently sighed in his heart: "This Bilgewater is really a paradise for criminals and a paradise for pirates." Why do people here say something casually, either to shoot their heads or to feed the fish. ”

"Gold?" The red-haired girl thought for a moment; "Just a hundred."

"What? Hundred! Ize's jaw was about to fall to the ground, "One hundred gold coins is considered the labor income of an ordinary family for two or three years, you must know that I can't spend a hundred gold coins a year." ”

"It costs a hundred gold coins to repair a small broken ship, and you are opening your mouth in the lion." Izawa muttered quietly as he pulled out a small cloth bag, "1, 2, 3, 4、。。。 ”

"I only have 27 gold coins, and that's all the money left for the expedition through gritted teeth. If there is more, you can take it. Izawa reached forward.

"Twenty-seven, but it's far from what I said." The red-haired girl smiled and took Ize's money bag, "Give me the contents of your package again." ”

"There's nothing of value in there." Ize was a little annoyed.

"What do you mean by something of little value? Let you take it, do you want to be sent to the slaughterhouse? The red-haired girl said without raising her head.

Izawa finally understood that this group of people was not serious about asking for the repair of the ship at all. Instead, he stared at Ize, feeling that he was like a lamb to the slaughter, to be scavenged thoroughly.

Izawa frowned, "In your hands, it's already all the valuable things on me." It seems a little unreasonable to do this again. ”

The red-haired girl's subordinates looked at Izawa like lambs and laughed, "Hahaha, you kid talk so much nonsense." Plausible? I've lived in Bilgewater for so many years, and I'll tell you what reason is now. "As he spoke, he was going to grab Izawa's backpack," what my boss said, that's right! Bring. ”

"What if I don't agree?" Izawa tightened his bags on his back: "Although this is your territory, I am not bullied. ”

"Bang, bang."

A few landing sounds sounded, and before the big men could get closer, they were swept out by Fiz one by one like shoveling dirt, and rolled out of the ground for a long time.

"Hehe, I'm having fun now." Before the redhead could finish speaking, she pulled out the fire gun on her waist and fired two shots at Izawa without blinking.

"Snort."

Izawa didn't expect her to shoot directly without hesitation. At such a close distance, although Ize reacted quickly to dodge, the bullet still grazed his clothes and passed through.

Izawa frowned and looked at the still smoking bullet holes in his clothes, and then looked up at the red-haired girl, with a thick anger in his eyes, "If it was an ordinary person just now, it would have been lying there." While I don't know what you've experienced in Port Birgewater to be so cruel to a girl like you, life is not meant to be so contemptuous. ”

"Aha." The red-haired girl looked at Ize like a fool, "This is in Bilgewater, I know what I'm doing." He raised his gun again.

Izawa looked at the muzzle of the black hole, "I would never shoot at a beautiful girl, but this friend of mine, not necessarily." He pointed at Fitz: "If she shoots again, she won't have to give me face." ”

Fitz held up the trident and jumped around on the ground: "What is the face, can you eat it?" ”

Izawa; “。。。 No. ”

"Bang, bang."

A few more shots were fired between the two of them, Fiz jumped up dexterously and easily dodged, and Izawa also dodged with a dodge.

"Do it, Fitz!" Izawa had decided to give the girl who had no one in her eyes a little color.

"Can she eat it?"

Izawa: "... ”

"Bang, bang." A few more shots.

"MD, Fizz, if you don't do it, I'll have to explain it here." Izawa felt the bullets whizzing past his ears and yelled at Fitz in a rage.

"You're so boring." As he spoke, Fitz straightened up his fork and was about to jump forward with a somersault. At this time, a loud shout suddenly came from the side.

"Hahaha, as soon as I heard this crisp series of gunshots, I knew it was your Miss Doom. Curious to come and see if someone dares to go against you in Bilgewater. As he spoke, the footsteps got closer and closer, "I guessed right." Explorer, we meet again. Hahaha. ”

Izawa turned his head to see a muscular figure striding towards him. Ize stroked his forehead, today is really unlucky, first accidentally smashed the boat and was caught, and now it was discovered by the previous creditor. Ize waved his hand helplessly: "What a coincidence, Planck! "Oh, Grand Captain Planck." Apparently, the red-haired girl known to Planck as Miss Doom also knew him.

"Don't dare to be a big captain, no matter how big you are, it's not as big as you." The two of them are very familiar with each other.

Saying that, Planck had already walked over, crossed between the two, glanced at Ize, and then at Miss Doom, and said, "Although I don't know why you two are fighting, I don't think it's for trivial matters." ”

Because of Planck's sudden appearance, Miss Doom stopped what she was doing, crossed her waist and blew the barrel of the gun with gunsmoke emitting, and suddenly pointed at Planck defenselessly, "When did I kill an outsider in Bilgewater and still need you to ask the reason?" What, he's your subordinate? ”

Planck seemed to have become accustomed to Miss Doom's uncertain weather, and she turned her face when she said it, without the slightest surprise. Haha smiled, "Subordinates, I don't dare to have such subordinates." As he spoke, he turned to look at Izawa: "As soon as I came, I was going to compete with Billgewater's famous Miss Doom." Explorer, you really follow you wherever you go. ”

Izawa plucked his nostrils casually, "General." If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone. You know I'm just a regular tourist to Bilgewater, and there's not much I can do about it. You can't let anyone bully you. ”

"Bang, bang, bang."

Without saying a word, Miss Doom drew her gun at Izawa and shot it, not paying the slightest attention to Planck, who was standing between the two.

"You woman!" Izawa narrowly avoided it again, visibly angry.

And the crowd around is also gathering more and more, there are pirates in hats, drunkards with mouths full of alcohol, ordinary citizens grinning and even criminals with shackles on their hands and feet. didn't have any scruples about the rain of bullets that might come at any time, and looked at this farce with bright eyes, and a few people pointed at Ize with a smile.

"There are outsiders who dare to provoke Miss Doom." A pirate in a three-cornered hat with a knife said, "And Captain Planck is there." ”

"Hiccup ~ that kid, Hiccup, I sympathize with him." A drunkard with a flushed face squirting alcohol raised his head and poured another sip of wine.

Planck watched as the outlaws gathered around him, and waved his hands to Miss Doom to put down the gun in her hand, "Tell me, what is the reason?" If you don't want us to be watched like monkey shows. ”

"It's nothing, that kid, you owe me two hundred gold coins." Miss Doom put the fire hammer in her hand back into her waist, brushed her long scarlet hair, looked at Izawa and said lightly.

"What! Two hundred gold coins? Izawa jumped up, "Let's not say that it costs a hundred gold coins to build a small wooden boat, and now you want two hundred gold coins?" Why don't you grab it... ”

Planck laughed and interrupted Ize's next words, "What should I be?" As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his bosom and threw it to Miss Doom without looking at it, "That's it, it's okay." ”

"Wait... Ize didn't want to owe anything to anyone, especially not to this pirate master. Because he really didn't want to have anything to do with Planck anymore.

"Smack."

Miss Doom reached out and grabbed Planck's tossed sack, making a loud sound of gold coins colliding. Then he smiled and kissed him on the mouth, and looked at Ize defiantly: "Then thank you Captain Planck." ”

"In that case, the matter is understood. You are all my friends, so I might as well shake hands and make peace, and I can introduce you to each other. Planck looks like a good old man.

"Not interested." Miss Doom walked out as she carried the heavy gold coin in her hand, "And, Planck, before you become the captain of the Abyss, you should be able to tell what to do and what not to do. ”

Ize looked at Miss Doom who was walking outside, and the crowd of onlookers hurriedly branched out a path, as if they had encountered some poisonous snake and beast.

Planck also watched Miss Doom walk out of the crowd and smiled apologetically at Izawa: "I'm sorry, explorer, this friend of mine... ”

Izen interrupted Planck's continuation with a wave of his hand. Because Izawa knew Planck's true nature, Planck's apologetic words seemed to him to be hypocritical. And, in this criminal's paradise and pirate-infested city, where are there any real friends! Thinking like this, Ize looked at the bullet holes all over the ground, and suddenly missed Ionia's peaceful atmosphere. sighed silently, and now owed Planck a favor.

"I'll give you back the money after the fair tomorrow, you should know where to find me." With that, Izawa tightened his backpack and walked out with Fitz.

Planck looked at Ize, who was walking out, "Oh, aren't you coming with me?" I'm more familiar here than you. ”

"No need." Izawa waved his hand without looking back.

Planck was the only one left in the square, and the crowd around him slowly dispersed, because there was nothing to see, and no one knew if the murderous captain would suddenly come over and give you a shot in the next moment.

"Miss Doom is right, only by taking the Abyss can I truly become the king of pirates commanding Bilgewater. I thought I would only need the explorer to help, but it didn't seem that simple. Planck had a screak in his eyes. Looking at Izawa's back as he walked farther and farther away, no one could guess what he was thinking on his expressionless face.

—————————————————————————————————————— just like that, the first day of arrival in Bilgewater had already fallen into the night. Uza and Fitz, who were already penniless, couldn't even afford to live in the shop, so they had no choice but to find a place to stay on the side of the street, but fortunately this was a port, and Fitz didn't have to worry about eating.

Fitz went to get something to eat. Izawa took off the package on his shoulder, opened it, and rummaged through the contents: "Hmm, I'll see if there is anything I can exchange for gold coins." Well, these ordinary exploration tools certainly can't be exchanged for much money, and these maps can't be exchanged for money. I'll look for it again, and what else ... ”

"Bell ticking." After a loud noise, Izawa's backpack had been turned low by himself, and a pile of things was scattered on the ground. But looking at the way he was still distressed, he didn't find anything of value.

Now Izawa is holding two things in his hands, one is a reward given by Dean Diru when he was at the Ionian Nanwu Academy: the Zhongya Ring. One is a palm-sized eyeball-shaped pendant.

After thinking for a moment, Izawa gritted his teeth, as if he had already made a decision: "This Zhongya ring must not be sold, and I plan to keep it for Catherine as her graduation gift." Then he looked at the item in his other hand: "This Hextech probe was specially made for me by the great inventor when I was leaving, according to him, the materials used in this thing are very expensive, and the cutting-edge technology of Piltover is also added." Hey, I can only endure the pain and cut your love to shoot you. I reckon that no one can know your true worth in this pirate-infested savage land, but there is no way to wronged you. As he spoke, he put Hextech on the ground and bowed solemnly, looking like a god.

As he spoke, Fitz returned, clutching the steaming fish in both hands.

"Wait, why is it steaming?" Izawa even smelled the condiment on the fish, and looked at Fitz suspiciously, "You didn't catch this fish, did you?" ”

"How do you know?" Fitz looked excited.

"Nonsense! I can't tell the difference between raw fish and cooked fish? "Izawa seems to have thought of something bad again." Where did it come from?"

Fitz was already sitting on the ground and chirping and eating, and replied vaguely: "I just went to the port where I went to the place where I was launched, passed by a house, and found it from there, and brought it." ”

"I robbed it... Izawa looked at Fitz, who was eating fragrantly, "Then no one will chase you if you rob other people's things?" ”

"Yes."

"What about the man?"

"Knocked unconscious."

。。。 robbed other people's things, and justifiably knocked people unconscious. Izawa felt that educating Fitz was like educating a child, he couldn't scold it, it was unfamiliar with things on the mainland, but it was curious, so he could only take it slowly, step by step.

Helplessly, Ize looked around to make sure that there was no one, and reached out to grab Fitz's other fish, "I'll eat it too!" ”

And just like that, the first day of arriving at the port of Bilgewater passed in a bump. Tomorrow, it's the grand trade fair in Port Bilgewater!
