Chapter 43: The Calm Before the Storm
From the time Izawa fought before he arrived, there are only a few pirates left standing. Moreover, there is no one who is a complete person anymore. There was a pirate with a few daggers stuck in his body, half of his ears had been cut off, and he still felt nothing, dragging the bladed steel knife in his hand and staggering like one of the few remaining pirates. But most of the pirates who had fallen to the ground had lost their breath, but their eyes were still wide open.
The monster named Tamkenche who was exposed to the lake also spotted the menacing Izawa and the three, and jumped out of the lake before them. I was finally able to see the whole picture of this monster, a bit like the frog-like creature encountered in the tunnel, but it had two long beards like catfish, and it was a big mouth that no one had ever seen before. Proportional to the big mouth is a fat body with a fish-like tail in tow.
"It looks like it's just a fat fish." Izawa's right hand flashed white, "Or a toad." ”
Jace didn't seem to have recovered from the fall and fall, or was still shocked by the Shura field on the shore of the lake, pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
"Don't underestimate this monster, its face is a symbol of greed and unrestrainedness. Its footprints and the creatures it has eaten must be all over the continent of Valoran. The Masked Man always has a faint tone.
"Oh, it turned out to be a big stomach. That looks like it's going to be hungry today. ”
"Uh-hu-hoo-hoo." The creature that jumped onto the shore of the lake seemed to hear Izawa's words and let out a shrill laugh. Suddenly he stretched out his hand and pulled out a long tongue full of saliva from his mouth, and the other hand gently slapped on it, like a flute playing, and there was indeed a burst of singing, which sounded a little wonderful. The pirates, who had been mad before hearing no sound, could hear the beautiful singing, and the pirates who were still fighting just now slowly stopped what they were doing, and the hideous expressions on their faces and their red eyes slowly subsided, and one after another they fell to the ground, as if they had exhausted their strength.
"I have to admit that it's hard to imagine that this beautiful singing voice came from a body like yours." Izawa looked at the fallen pirate and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "You know what you're in, but even if you're enlightened, it's too late." Izawa also knew that it was using this kind of song to control the pirates, and seeing the pirates return to normal, he felt that this monster realized his danger.
"All living things are born hungry." The monster suddenly spoke, "It's a pity that those sumptuous tables have never reserved a place for me. ”
"Huh?" Before Izawa could understand what he could say, the water on the lake bubbled like boiling water from the dumplings.
"Uh-hu-hu-hu-hu, let's eat openly." The monster screeched, and before he could finish speaking, the frog-like creatures that had been encountered in the corridor suddenly rushed out of the lake and jumped to the shore like a torrential rain, dragging its long tongue across every pirate who fell to the ground.
"Help!" It wasn't until the sound of chewing that Izawa finally realized that the monster's song was to beckon his companions to enjoy the feast, not to relieve the pirates, but perhaps to take it by the way. And as Ezawa and Jace ran towards the toads and the pirates in their mouths, the monster burst into a shrill laugh again: "Since there is no one to reserve a place for me, I can only hold a feast myself." Your minds are as clear as mud. I am disgusted by your low wisdom. Uh-hu-hoo-hoo! ”
"Arcane Shooting!"
"Precise barrage, change!"
Izawa also went insane, as the crisp chewing sound of biting off bones filled his eardrums. At the same time, the blazing white light flashed in his right hand, and he smashed a toad that was holding one of his thighs and nibbling on it. Jace wielded a warhammer-like weapon in his hand, and with each flash of light, a toad was smashed into a cloud of flesh.
"Save me, save me..." A pirate screamed in pain as he watched his thigh being bitten off by a toad from the waist.
"Save it first, you can still move!" Izawa knew that he couldn't miss out on someone who was still alive in order to save a corpse from being treated as something in the womb. The two of them hurried through the corpses and toads, and the pirates who were still breathing naturally let out a scream as they were run over by a wet tongue to prove that he was still alive. That's the goal of the two. As for the dead bodies that are being devoured, there is no longer so much to care about.
And while Ize and Jace were rushing towards the tragedy, the masked man pulled out a not-so-long scimitar from nowhere, with a blazing red glow on it, as if it were a fire. A backhand swing at the owner of this "feast", the elated Tamkench.
"Uh-hu-hoo-hoo." Tamkench sneered, his fat head moved, and a long tongue collided with the masked man's scimitar in midair, making a sound of gold and iron.
"Brush!" The masked man slid a few meters on the ground before he could barely stop, and when he hit the tongue, he felt the force of his slippery hand seem to hit the cotton, making it impossible to start. However, the power of the shock on that tongue should not be underestimated.
"Snort." The long tongue shook its head and streaked on the ground.
And the dense toads on the shore of the lake also under the full force of the crazy Ize and Jace, or biting an arm, or a half-mutilated body, or a head that has not yet had time to swallow, they all fled back to the lake like dumplings, and a touch of blood suddenly floated on the water. The pirates who were barely protected by Ize and Jace were no more than ten, and all of them were left with severed arms and stumps, and only one life was saved. The people who entered this crypt were all good hands of the big Bilgewater gangs, and now they are all planted here, and those middle and lower gangs who were blocked out by the big gangs have become the biggest beneficiaries, and maybe after getting out of this crypt, they will face a major reshuffle. That's not our story, though.
"Whew." Izawa gasped and wiped the blood and sweat from his face, looking at the masked man, who was obviously inferior in the fight with the monster, and Jace, who had not yet had time to catch his breath, joined the battlefield, "It's not over yet!" ”
"You stinky and offended my palate." The monster stretched out a finger and scraped between its teeth with its sharp nails, making uncomfortable noises.
"Your name is Tamkench." Izawa lowered his head, and there was no joy or sorrow in his tone.
"Call me the king, call me the devil!"
"Indeed, it is the devil that should call you." Izawa nodded, "However, no matter where you're a demon from, today is destined to be your last meal!" ”
"You're dumber than a broken sandwich. Uh-hu-hoo-hoo. ”
"Not only are you a big stomach, you seem to be a noise maniac." As he spoke, Izawa walked slowly forward.
"Be careful not to get tangled in its tongue, its weakness is in the eyes." The masked man raised the scimitar in his hand and drew a red ray.
"Uh-hu-hoo-hoo. When you see the despair in your eyes, it is the best condiment to this feast! "Arcane Shooting!" A dazzling white flame sounded the horn of attack.
"Electrical shock!" Jace's hammer emitted a vacuum cannon with a high-pitched and piercing sound.
"Whew!"
The tongue was even longer than Tamkench's stature and swept through the air, blocking Jace's vacuum cannon. Izawa's energy wave hit it, only to be blocked by a blue shield that suddenly appeared.
And Tamkenki's cold gaze has always been locked on the masked man, that is to say, the masked man's attack is the most feared of the three.
It wasn't until Ize's successive waves of energy were hit by the blue shield on Tamkenchi's body that he realized that this level of attack was useless at all.
"The Masked Man says his weakness is his eyes, but with that shield on the skin and that long, flexible tongue, how can he attack his eyes?" Izawa stopped his useless attack and began to think of countermeasures.
However, Jace and the masked man's attacks were one wave after another, and Izawa watched this scene quietly and slowly had a countermeasure.
"Tamkench seems to be very jealous of the masked man's long knife that glows red, and he has always resisted with his tongue, not with his shield."
Izawa took a few steps back, jumped onto the branch of the big tree on the shore of the lake, looked at the battlefield condescendingly, and shouted, "Jace, attack with all your might, and entangle that tongue around it." He looked at the masked man again, and his words were full of confidence: "Please break through the shield on its surface." I'll take care of the rest! ”
The two of them instantly understood what Izen meant, "Jace wrapped that tongue so that it couldn't attack the Masked Man, and then the Masked Man cut the shield, and finally Ize made up for the final blow to his eyes." ”
"Whew!"
It's Jace! An energy cannon that was many times larger than before stuck to the ground, making a piercing sound of breaking the air, hitting the tongue that was waving in midair. Ize can be sure that with this move, Tamkench will never dare to hard-top.
At the same time, the masked man also moved, turning into a red afterimage and rushing directly towards Tamkenchi, the red light of the scimitar in his hand suddenly flourished, like a ball of sun.
Izawa was also condensing his strongest blow, the moment the masked man broke through the surface shield.
It wasn't the tongue that Izen imagined would stop Jace's oversized energy cannon, and the masked man easily sliced through the shield.
Tamkench was not as stupid as Ize had imagined, its body was covered with blue light, and the shield on the surface looked a little thicker, and it chose to use its body to block Jace's attack, although it was staggered by the blast. But its main weapon, the tongue, still faced the masked man, who had a very strange trajectory.
At the same time as that tongue strikes, the masked man has two options: use the scimitar in his hand to resist, and then everything that comes before him is lost. But he made another choice.
"Whew!"
A splash of blood.
"Bang!"
At the same time that Tamkench's tongue pierced the masked man's arm, the red glow on the scimitar in his hand also crushed the green glow on Tamkench's surface shield!
"Accurate barrage!"
The Masked Man didn't disappoint everyone, and Izawa certainly didn't either.
An arc of light, from top to bottom of the branch, centered on Tamkench's head.
"Yo~~"
Tamkench let out a scream of pain, and at the same time, without the slightest hesitation, he covered his eyes and jumped into the lake, so fast that people couldn't react, it wanted to escape!
"If the world is a river, then I am the king of this river. There is no place I have never been, and there is no place I cannot set foot again. I'll be back! These were the last words it left behind.
The battle is over. Although the ending has not changed, the bloody arm of the masked man "Mimi" tells the price this time.
"Don't chase it." The Masked Man stopped Izawa, who was about to leap into the lake, "Just like the last words it said, it can't catch up." ”
"I let this demon escape, and I don't know where it will cause tragedy next time." Izawa sighed and turned his head to look at the masked man, although he didn't know his true face, and he hadn't been together for a long time, but from the time he didn't dodge or dodge the hard split Tamkench shield, he had a little more affection from the bottom of his heart. "Your arm, are you alright?"
"It's fine." Still in a faint tone, he pointed to the few remaining pirates, "You should care more about them than you would." ”
And the pirates who survived this trip to the mound, leaning on the shore of the lake with their stunned wide open eyes, without a trace of expression, and even breathing faintly, as if they were stupid. These ruthless pirates were not shocked by the sight of the Shura field in front of them, nor were they the missing arm. Instead, when he regained his senses, he remembered everything he had done when he had fallen into madness, the cries of his teammates who had fallen under his sword one by one, and his beastly behavior.
Looking at the last remaining pirate sitting next to a severed corpse, Izawa didn't know what to say. Comfort is definitely useless, this kind of pain can only be slowly washed away in the long river of time.
"It was a terrible trip." Izawa looked at the corpses of pirates on the shore of the lake and sighed.
"Let's go back. I reckon the pirates guarding the gate should be in a hurry. ”
Jace was right, the pirates had just gotten together to discuss whether or not to organize a second team into the crypt.
When Ezawa and Jace actually bandaged the wounds of the remaining pirates, the light that had illuminated the entire cavern suddenly faded, but instead of falling into darkness, the cavern began to glow faintly blue on the walls and tops of the cavern. The soft blue light not only illuminates the dark cavern, but also adds a soft and misty scene.
Everyone looked at the lake in the center, where there was a source of light.
"This blue light is very similar to these hedrons." He had been fighting before, and Izawa hadn't had time to show them the hedron he had found in the corridor. As he spoke, he took out a hedron from his bag that glowed with a faint blue light and exuded coolness.
"It's this blue light, but what's the use of this?" Jace took it and looked at it carefully.
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be ordinary." Saying that, Izawa turned his gaze to the masked man, since he knew about this creature of Tamkenchi, he should also know about this hedron.
"The answer lies at the bottom of the lake." The masked man sensed Ize's gaze and pointed to the blue surface of the lake.
"The bottom of the lake?" Izawa frowned and glanced at the still blood-colored lake, "Those frog creatures... ”
"It's gone, maybe on the other side of the continent, maybe in the abyss at the bottom of the sea, but certainly not in Bilgewater." The Masked Man dispelled Ezawa's doubts.
"That's right..." Ize seemed to think for a moment, "Jace, I'm sorry for you to go down." ”
Jace was about to say something, but he saw Ize's subtle look, and although he didn't know what he was thinking, he nodded and walked like a lake.
Izawa's concern was the six corpses he had encountered in the corridor with the same wound! Now, although he is very reluctant to believe it, there is no doubt that the murderer who is about to come out can only be the masked man.
"Snort." After Jace jumped into the lake, there was no sound on the shore except for the weak moans of a few pirates, and the atmosphere was very unpleasant.
Until now, Izawa hesitated in his heart, thinking about the corpses of the six pirates, and thinking about the good impression that the Masked Man had given him when dealing with Tamkench. However, there are some things that need to be figured out. Who knows what kind of face is hidden under the mask, maybe the next turn of his own, a scimitar will appear quietly behind him.
"I'm in the corridor when I came... Izawa paused, raised his head and looked directly at the masked man, "Six bodies found. ”
"Oh." The masked man smiled, and although he couldn't see his expression, Ize could clearly sense that he was smiling from the words.
"I didn't kill it." The masked man then spoke cleanly, his tone flat again.
"You say this, don't you think there is a taste of three hundred taels of silver here?" Izawa was already clenching his fists.
"Hahahaha." The masked man really laughed this time, as he looked at Ize, who had a guarded face.
"The one who killed those pirates was a young man as old as you." The masked man slowly turned around and walked like the exit of the road, "I'm sure you can see that it's a master." And, let me tell you one more thing, that murderer does not belong to Bilgewater. As he spoke, he continued to walk towards the Yongdaokou, "That friend of yours will fish out the spar from the lake and call it aquamarine. It is a magic crystal that has many wonderful uses, and it is a gift from the sea. "I've gone a long way since I spoke," I'm done, and I'm going to see you again. Finally, in a voice so low that he could only hear himself, he added, "Good luck, little one." ”
"Hey, I don't know your name yet?" Izawa suddenly felt familiar as he watched the back of the masked man walking towards the road, but he was sure that it was definitely the first time he had seen him.
"Just call me, Ash." It was always a faint tone, wafting from the far Yongdao crossing.
"Luo Ash?" Izawa looked in the direction of the disappeared figure, and scratched his head suspiciously, "I feel like I've heard the name somewhere... ”
Of course, he had heard of a name that had been mentioned to him when he left Ionia, after the Dean of the Nanwu Academy, Diru, had given him a map of Blue Flame Island: if he ran into any trouble there, he could find someone named Luo Ash. Maybe Ize forgot, maybe his attention is now in this cave, and after thinking about it for a long time, there is no result.
"Poof." There was another splash.
Then Jace came out of the water, holding a blue stone in his hand, with a smile on his face, and shouted to Izawa on the shore, "It's a harvest!" Ize took the hedron that Jace fished out of the lake and looked at it carefully, whether it was from the luster it emitted or the coolness of the hand, it was not comparable to the one in his backpack, just like the mold compared to the finished product. Moreover, you don't need a detector to feel the intense energy fluctuations emanating from above.
"Huh," Jace looked around, "Is the masked man gone?" ”
"Yes." Izawa nodded, looked at Jace, who couldn't put down the hedr, and said, "Before leaving, he said that this hedron is called aquamarine, and it has many wonderful uses. ”
"So to speak..." There was a joy in Jace's words.
"Yes. It's yours. As he spoke, Ezawa casually tossed the aquamarine to Jace, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he did it because the Masked Man did not disappoint him or live up to his trust in this strange and dangerous environment, adding a touch of warmth to this cold crypt. Think about it, if you fought side by side with you before, the person you have an extreme affection for will tear your face and show a fierce face in the next second, and anyone will be uncomfortable, and this is Bilgewater, which is full of pirates and outlaws. Izawa also understood how easy it was when Warwick showed his true face when he was at Nanwu Academy.
Thinking of this sad memory, Izawa sighed leisurely, looking at the shore of the lake full of severed limbs and the faint glow of blood on the surface of the lake, and after taking the aquamarine crystal, the light of the cave also dimmed.
"It's time for us to go back."
"How are we going to explain the pirates guarding the gates?" Jace looked at Ize, there were so many pirates from the big gang that had entered, and now there were only a few people left.
"There's not much to say, but when they understand everything here, they'll be glad they didn't come in." Izawa's words dispelled Jace's doubts.
Ezawa and Jace each supported a few pirates and walked towards the Yongdao crossing. The corpses on the shore of the lake can only be told that the pirates outside have come in and retrieved them. The most important thing now is that the eyes of the living pirates have already appeared, which is a sign of excessive blood loss.
When I went back, I walked through the same stone gate that Izawa had walked through. The second time I walked in the long corridor, it was two moods. When I went, I was full of interest, although I knew in my heart that this would not be an ordinary expedition, but I didn't expect that it would be so unusual, so unusual that it left a painful imprint in my heart.
"That's right, Jace." Izawa suddenly spoke, "You're going back after this time, aren't you?" ”
Jace nodded, "Yes." Aren't you going to get out of here too? ”
"That's how it was intended. But if you think about it carefully, after coming to Blue Flame Island for so many days, you have come over in chaos, and you haven't done anything meaningful. Izawa said and smiled, "However, I don't have any nostalgia for this place. ”
There was silence.
"Hiss." A pirate's gnawing wound was exposed to the air for a long time, and he gasped a few times in pain, urging everyone to speed up.
After passing through the second stone gate, entering the corridor that leads directly to the outside. There was a lot of movement, and the sound of footsteps appeared in the field of vision along with a line of firelight. It turned out that the pirates who were guarding outside and couldn't bear it sent a second team, and the reason for the discussion was that they were afraid that something unexpected would happen inside, so they came to respond. But the real reason is well known to everyone, and they are afraid that the people inside will swallow the treasure alone after discovering it.
"Shhh Rao was accustomed to seeing bloody pirates, and when they saw the few people who were being supported by Ize and Jace, their faces turned white.
"They, you..." It was the pirate who had made some name for himself outside the mound before, and he pointed to the pirate who had been severed by the thigh that Izawa was holding on his shoulder, with a shocked expression. This pirate belonged to the same gang as him, so he naturally knew his strength, but now he was a wreck.
At the same time, the eyes of the second team of pirates who entered the corridor flocked to the two of them, and they looked at them very unfriendly. Because although everyone does not belong to the same gang, they all belong to the pirates who look down and don't look up, and only these two people are outsiders, so they naturally bear the brunt of the suspicion.
"If you don't want the remaining pirates to die, get out of the way." To those unfriendly glances, Izawa returned with the same cold gaze.
"What about the rest?" The pirate paid no heed to what Izen said, and had no intention of giving way, and his right hand was already resting on the short gun in his arms.
"The rest of the people..." Izawa smiled faintly, but in the eyes of the pirates, it was a little hideous.
"There are no more people left." Izawa said coldly.
Seeing that a clash was about to break out, Jace stepped forward and pointed to the pitch-black Yongdao behind him, "Go see for yourselves." ”
"Uh-uh."
The pirate who was being held by Izawa let out a low hiss, as if something had choked his throat, and then his head hung down, dying of blood loss. Not far from the exit of Yongdao, I finally failed to take another look at the scenery of Blue Flame Island.
"Get out of the way." The pirates made a decision after talking, because they also knew that if the stalemate continued, the pirates supported by Ize and Jace would definitely die here one after another, which was a scenario that no one wanted to see. At the same time, two people were sent to follow Ize and Jace, on the one hand, to help inform the pirates who were still guarding outside.
"That's right." After crossing the path separated by the pirates, Izawa turned his head again and said, "When you reach the end of this road, you will find two stone gates, and the one on the right will not leave you empty-handed. "Izawa was talking about the road dotted with hedrons.
In this way, the second team entered the corridor again. According to Ash Ash, Tamkench had taken his toad boys with him and didn't know where the legend had gone, and there was no danger here, just an ordinary mound. Exclusive, of course, that they will see the miserable Shura field by the lake at the end.
"Ahh When Ize and Jace walked out of the corridor, they saw the two of them covered in blood and several inhuman-shaped pirates on their shoulders, and the pirates guarding the door let out an exclamation. In the same way, the gaze of the two of them is the same as that of the pirates encountered in the corridor.
Fortunately, a few of these people were still sensible, and seeing that the few remaining pirates had their own gang mates, they hurriedly took out the signal flares in their arms to notify the big ships docked on the periphery.
"Bang!"
As an orange flame bloomed in the sky with its long tail in tow, the big gang's ships began to move, for the flare meant to be: rescue.
"It turns out that I've been in there all night." Izawa sighed faintly as he looked at the busy pirates and the cautious eyes that stared at him at the same time.
It was already dawn, the sun had not yet come out, and Ezawa and Jace sat side by side on the reef in the cool sea breeze, with the three treasure hunters who had been asking this and that. As the crews of the big gang ships landed on the mound, the atmosphere became more and more anxious instead of easing. Although they may not have said anything for Fitz's sake of face, the two of them also understood that it was impossible for them to leave the sight of the pirates until their second team returned and the pirates who were being treated woke up. Izawa didn't say anything, in fact, there was nothing to say. Again, when these pirates understood what was going on, they would be glad they didn't enter the stone gate.
Time passed little by little, and the sun slowly crept up. Under the sun, the turquoise sea sparkles and is beautiful as the waves rise and fall. But no one could have imagined the tragedy that had taken place on the mound surrounded by this beautiful sea.
"Excuse me, several. This side please. A middle-aged first mate walked to the reef and said respectfully to Izawa and his party.
"Oh, looks like we're going to get out of here soon."
Next to the stone gate, the leaders of the big gangs, who usually don't see a few, gathered together at this time, and stopped talking after seeing Ize walking this way.
"What's the matter?" Izawa stood still, glancing at the leaders. At the same time, he noticed that the second team of pirates who entered came out with a heavy package on their shoulders, and the package with a crisp collision sound should be the spar that they dug down in the corridor. The other package was faintly stained with blood, and it should be the stump of the corpse that had been recovered.
"Mr. Explorer." The leaders of these big gangs changed their contempt when they came, and their tones were calm, "Those strange creatures... "According to the reports of the men when they returned, the mountains of frog carcasses on the shore of the lake were the situation they were most concerned about.
"It's not here anymore. Moreover, it is no longer within the sea area of Blue Flame Island. Izawa dispelled the chiefs' doubts.
"So are there any other strange creatures in this mound?" Because the pirates who were killing each other were tempted by Tamkench to lose their minds, and when they returned to normal, Izawa's battle was coming to an end. So beyond a few words, there is no more information for these leaders.
"If you dig up all the hedrons from the walls of the corridor, then this mound is a completely ordinary mound. There are no treasures of the sea, and there are no other strange creatures. The people we stand here now are all the living creatures on this mound. Izawa looked at the leaders after finishing in one breath, "Can we go?" ”
The leaders seemed to ponder Ize's words, and after a moment of silence, one spoke, "Explorer, I have learned from my men what you have done, and I am here to thank you on behalf of all the people on board. But I have one last request. ”
"Hmm"
"When you get back, I hope you don't talk about this trip to the mounds like anyone else. As you know, we've only lost a few men, but we're all good guys in the gang, no less than our right-hand men. So... ”
Needless to say, Izawa also understands that they are worried that those small and medium-sized gangs that are eyeing each other will take the opportunity to come out and make trouble.
"I'm fine here. After all, we're just tourists in Bilgewater. This sentence was said by Izawa in the tone of their learning.
"Thank you."
This is the end of this trip to the mound. Although the big gang had a lot of casualties, it was a big gain after they took down all the spars from the walls of the corridor. But who would have thought that such a big turmoil would only calm Bilgewater for a day or two.
On the way back, Ize turned down the big gang's offer to go on a boat together, and it was Fitz who called the dragon shark as usual.
On the small wooden boat, Izawa was talking to the three of the treasure hunting team about the situation inside the mound, and of course he couldn't help but brag. And when Jace took out the aquamarine, the eyes of the three of them instantly shifted to Jace, no longer paying attention to Izawa's eloquent speech. Although there was a happy atmosphere on the ship now, it was all on the surface, and Ezawa and Jace both knew each other's worries, that is, the demon Tamkench didn't know where to stir up a bloody storm.
"Go back and get a good night's sleep first, and then the next step is to get out of here." Izawa said.
"Are you leaving? Explorer. Treasure Hunt Team No. 2 looked sorry.
"It's not me, it's us." Izhayda.
"Boss, are we going to go too?" As he spoke, Number Two turned his gaze to Jace.
Jace just nodded and didn't say anything more. He was still thinking about how to tell the remaining three of the Treasure Hunt Team that he was leaving the team.
"Oh, that's a pity. I don't know why I have a deep reluctance to be here, maybe I was attracted by this beautiful sea. "It's Treasure Hunt Team No. 3 who speaks, a picture of loss. He said that he was about to leave here, and he heard very bad news.
"I feel the same way." Number Four thumped his chest and said.
"I look at you two because I can't bear Miss Doom." No. 2 broke through the careful thinking of the two.
"Even if it is, what's not to do. I've been fascinated by Miss Doom. "Number Three looks like a nymphomaniac.
"Me too!" It was No. 4 who spoke, hugging No. 3's shoulders, looking like he was also a fallen person at the end of the world.
On the way back, there was no need to rush as much as he had said, so Izawa asked Fiz to signal the dragon shark to slow down and take one last look at the blue sea.
The three members of the treasure hunt team have a heated argument about whether a woman should be called a treasure or not, Izawa quietly blows the sea breeze and looks at the group of seagulls flying freely in the sky, while Jace sits quietly in the stern of the boat, not knowing what he is thinking.
"Actually, if you don't want to leave, you can stay here." It was Jace who spoke, interrupting the trio's argument.
"Old... Top dog. Three thought Jace was angry, and he began to vomit as he spoke.
Jace waved his hand, not looking at Three, but into the unknown distance, "I didn't mean that. I'm serious, if you really like it, keep it. ”
"It's over. The boss looked really angry. No. 2 shoved No. 3 and motioned for him to admit his mistake.
Number Three also understood, "I'm sorry, Boss. As a member of the Treasure Hunt Squad, our slogan is... ”
"Where there is treasure, there is our treasure hunting team." Number Four raised his fist as if to swear an oath, and then said, "So we were all joking just now." ”
"Hey." Jace shook his head and sighed. Knowing that they had misunderstood him now, he couldn't smile bitterly, but in fact, the thought in his heart just now was this: although he was reluctant to them, he had a reason to go back to Piltover. If they had kept the port of Bilgewater, they would have been able to come back to them whenever and wherever they wanted, and they would not have to search for news of them all over Valoran.
"So, where are we going next?"
"The next stop hasn't been decided yet." Ezawa could see Jace's inner struggle and answered for him first.
"Oh."
In this way, the journey back was reduced little by little in the speculation of the three members of the treasure hunt team about the next stop. In the distance, you can already see the slaughterhouse like a small black dot.
At a closer point, the view on the shore was also clearly visible. Since there is still a crowd on the dock, although it is much less than when I went to sea yesterday.
"These people, have they been waiting here for a day and a night? It's so persevering to watch the excitement. Izawa was secretly speechless.
"Who knows, maybe every year." Jace answered.
"By the way, since we have promised the pirates to keep their mouths shut, we will not mention a word when we get ashore. However, I estimate that it is impossible to hide the news in the mound for long, after all, you said that you went out for a day and a night, and you didn't get anything, and people are not stupid, who would believe it. Ize looked at the crowd on the shore, and at the same time the crowd on the shore also spotted the dragon shark and the small wooden boat, causing a commotion like a frying pan.
"Look, the explorer came back first."
"He wasn't killed by the big gangs?"
"Hey, hey, that's fine, if it's those big gangs, we don't dare to say anything, now it's time to ask him about the situation."
"I advise you not to bother, if there is any treasure gang, the big gang will definitely fence that mound. Look at his disgraced face, what can you gain. "It's true that Izawa, who has not rested for a day and a night, and has also experienced several battles, does not seem to have much spirit.
There was a burst of chattering on the shore, no matter what was being said, it must have revolved around Izawa and his party.
"Bang."
Izawa jumped into the port first, laughed twice in front of everyone's eyes, and then looked at a drunkard in the front row with a foolish look, "Look at the excitement?" ”
"Uh... The drunkard nodded sneeredly.
"Stood here for a day and a night?"
The drunkard nodded again.
"Good spirit." Izawa gave a thumbs up, "Then you can see that the big fleet is still behind." After saying that, they parted from the crowd and walked away.
The following treasure hunt team also did the same, laughing a few times with a few "hehe" and then walking out of the crowd behind Ize.
"Why are these people smiling at us?"
"Why are we smiling at them, can't we just go?" The crowd on the shore was speculating, and Jace didn't understand what Izen was doing.
"What do you want to do so much?" Izawa rolled his eyes, "I just think they waited on the shore for a day and a night, and I can't help but say a few words to them." ”
"Bad taste." Jace expressed disdain.
Then the group found a hotel that looked pretty well decorated and walked in. Although several people were penniless, when Fitz was carried out, the owner of the hotel immediately greeted him with good fish and meat. Now that Fitz is in Bilgewater, he can be said to be no less than Miss Doom.
"Hey, Fitz still works. I didn't expect that I would have to rely on my younger brother to eat and drink together. Izawa ate a fish and didn't see any shame at all, but Fitz didn't listen to Izawa at all.
After the group had eaten and drunk enough, they went to the upstairs room to play, after all, after a night of fierce fighting, both of them were tired. And the three of the treasure hunt team slept soundly on the mound last night, and they will lead Fitzman out on the streets again.
in a hotel room.
"Tamkench, a demon who is good at seducing people. Features: Big stomach, noisy, strong. He has fled from Blue Flame Island and is nowhere to be found. After initial encounters, no similarities were found with Noxus and Zaun. Ezreal Gran Calendar August 27 at Blue Flame Island. ”
After finishing writing, Izawa slowly closed the note, lying on the bed with half-closed eyes and quietly looking at the ceiling, he was leaving tomorrow, he obviously didn't have much nostalgia for this place in his heart, but he was half-asleep and half-awake for no reason, like when he parted with Ionia. The dazed Ize didn't know why he suddenly had such feelings, and before he had time to think about it, he was dragged to sleep by his tired body.
The sea in the evening is resplendent, mysterious and beautiful. As the sun sets, the sky is still burning with a touch of orange sunset.
The hotel has three floors, with Ezawa and Jace living on the third floor. You know, it's rare to see a three-story building in Bilgewater, a seaport city where land is at a premium.
Izawa, who woke up, walked to the window and opened the curtains, looking out through the window, and after the Heman Sea passed, the streets were back to people. Izawa just stood by the window and watched the flow of people at his feet, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Huh?"
On the street, a young man with a turban and a flask the size of himself caught Izawa's attention. Although his outfit and flask in his hand were no different from those of the drunkards on Bilgewater's streets, Izawa was attracted to his gaze, and he had an inexplicable feeling, as if he had reunited with old friends. The young man walking on the street also noticed the gaze from above, raised his head to look at Izawa, smiled and walked forward.
Izawa also smiled in return, watching the young man go farther and farther, scratching his head, "What's going on lately, how can it be clear that people who haven't seen it have a familiar feeling." This is the case with the Luo Ash in the corridor, and the same is true for the young man on the street just now. ”
"Bang bang." The constant knock on the door interrupted Izawa's thoughts.
"Hey, it's time to get up for dinner." It's a treasure hunt squad.
"Yes, good. This goes down. Izawa answered, took one last look at the figure of the young man who had disappeared into the street, and turned and walked downstairs. What he didn't know was that the young man was also a partner who would fight side by side with him in the future. But since today, he has not appeared on the streets of Bilgewater, and when he comes back again, it will be a good thing again.
