Chapter 210: Python Islands
"You two tour guides just ran away?"
Jeno was a little confused, Bilgewater was not a simple place, and there were countless examples of being deceived and having his neck cut and searching his wallet, and then finding the body dumped on the dock the next day.
In short, this is a place where you can sail carefully on a 10,000-year-old boat, and it is certainly safer to have a guide to lead the way than to explore it on your own.
"Tour guide? It will be a guide...... If you hire me as a guide, the price is not cheap. Trist brushed his silky hair back and put on his hat, looking down with only a powerful smile.
"Then you'd better get out." Jenoyan raised his hand to let him go.
Trist: "......"
He is penniless now, and he can't afford to pay the guide fee, but he is not afraid of not making money if he is skilled, and there are basically no craftsmen on Bilgewater's side, otherwise Planck would not have to run to disturb Sarah's parents in order to make two flintlock pistols, and finally kill them, which led to Miss Doom secretly plotting for more than ten years to finally overthrow Planck's rule and take revenge.
Oh yes, Miss Doom is the bounty hunter Sarah gave herself.
"This ship will be sent to you, and we will leave first." Trist pulled out two cards, one of which was stuffed into Graves, and with the twist of his fingers, a whirlwind of magic rose, and the two of them disappeared in place.
Jeno sat up from the wall, stretched, and said to the two women, "It's up to us next, I'll go start the engine first, wait, there seems to be a little lazy worm who hasn't gotten up." ”
He opened the "spring roll" and rubbed Niko's elastic cheeks, the colors of which kept changing colors under his kneading.
"Hmm, are we there? It's so fast, it's just a dream. Niko sat up, and the dragon roared and yawned so hard that she almost fell back on the electric blanket because she had tilted her head so much that she hadn't let go of her face.
"You just fell asleep, how can you feel......" Jeno picked her up and took her to the deck, and as soon as the sea breeze blew, Niko immediately woke up.
Looking at the pier in the distance, Nico suddenly shouted excitedly, "Niko has been here!" Niko is impressed! ”
"You've only seen it from afar on the ship, haven't you't made it ashore?" Jeno asked.
When Niko left Ionia to drift at sea, she was picked up by a Vastaya sailor, and the merchant ship that saved Niko had stopped to resupply while passing through Bilgewater, so it is not surprising that Niko has an impression of this place, except that she has a good memory.
"Yes, yes!" Niko climbed up the mast to look out, her tail wrapped around several times, and she was not afraid of falling into the sea at all.
"Then you blow the wind first, we'll be there soon." After saying that, Jeno started the engine, and the curling white mist reflected colorful light in the sunlight.
Under Jeno's control, the fishing boat sailed smoothly towards Bilgewater.
Bilgewater, a place of danger and opportunity, where wealth and family are ruined in a blink of an eye.
As the fishing boats approached, the topography of the island finally lifted the hazy mist and revealed itself in front of several people.
The strait surrounds the harbor and is filled with towering cliffs that even locals with aquatic water find dangerous. Bilgewater Island is in the shape of a pistol, and the harbor is located at the trigger, surrounded by a towering strait.
Bilgewater is not the full name here, this area is called the Blue Flame Islands by outsiders, but according to the local slaughter of the Bajo people, this place should be called the Python Islands, and Bilgewater is the largest of the archipelago, but because the Bajou indigenous people are very xenophobic, so there are very few Bajo people on Bilgewater Island, most of them live in a few small islands in the north, implement a closed country policy, there is very little relevant information outflow, and the outside world knows about it is extremely poor.
But Jeno, as a traverser, knows some little secrets that Bajou can't tell outsiders - that is, Bajou's level of technology is actually very high, and he has a sense of Wakanda, the land of rune.
And then he didn't know about any more.
Geographically, its unique location in the heart of the Guardian Sea makes it an extremely important transit point for maritime trade, amassing untold wealth and opportunity, and its unique state of anarchy has attracted many smugglers, raiders, and unscrupulous people.
When you reach the borders of Bilgewater, you can feel that the temperature has risen considerably, and the temperature of the sea breeze is no longer cold and clamour on the side of Piltover, but there is a slight fishy smell in the wind, which becomes more pronounced as you get closer to the port.
The smell of the stench actually wafts from the corpses of the sea monsters, coming from the Bone Coast and the slaughter docks, where the work is non-stop day and night, turning the dead into profit.
Jeno didn't go there, the dock there was a dirty mess, and even the waves couldn't wash away the endless supply of greasy blood between the wooden slats, so he was called the Blood Harbor, where Pike spent some time in the slaughterhouse.
They took the sea route in the main port area, passing under the Butcher's Bridge.
The Butcher's Bridge was an ancient stone path embedded in the cliffs on either side, connecting the busy docks at one end and the notorious slums at the other.
After passing the Butcher's Bridge, the more detailed parts of Birgewater Bay are revealed.
The architectural style here is so strong that the first sight shocked the two women from different regions to the point of being speechless for a long time.
The bare cliffs are densely packed with stone planks and the huge bones of sea beasts, and from the top to the bottom of the mountain, it is like sprinkling a layer of crushed peanuts on ice cream.
What's even more exaggerated is that there are also towering dangerous buildings and layered tower-shaped buildings built on the top of the hill to "heighten" the cliff. Moreover, the inclination of these buildings is more terrifying than that of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the crumbling feeling of a typhoon will collapse with a bang.
However, these dangerous buildings did not collapse in the typhoon, because they were built around a huge sea beast bone, and the bones were originally curved, and the buildings built with it as the core naturally could not stand upright.
In a word, the floor area is not enough, and the height is made up!
Jeno saw the sea serpent reliefs on the cliffs, the traces of an ancient civilization on which the various settlements of the city were built.
There are no down-to-earth roads in the city, and the houses are connected to each other by flying walkways and ziplines, and people move up and down the city through stairs that wrap around the cliff face.
The lower class of residents live in the lower town, where houses are separated by a series of winding rivers and hidden entrances, like a vast labyrinth.
There is no clear boundary between their home and the sea where they live, and sharks can be seen swimming through it from time to time.
Just when several people were sighing for this unique architectural style, a huge three-masted galleon with a bow and tail length of more than 30 meters was only separated by less than 10 meters, narrowly overtaking the fishing boat from the side. If hit by a boat of this size, Jeno's fishing boat would disintegrate in an instant, and the group would have to swim long distances to the shore.
It looks like a pirate ship, as their sails are emblazoned with the emblem of a skull, hunting in the sea breeze like a smirking grim reaper.
