From the first time he set foot on the Bilgewater Pier, Rhodes knew one thing – it was hard to fall in love with the port city.

Why...... Without him, it's so TM dirty here!

There are no sewers, no drains, and neither household garbage nor excrement leads to the sea – and the resulting stench is mixed with the saltiness of the sea itself......

Belch! Lightheadedness, dizziness and tinnitus.

Not even Cana could dispel the smell – because the air here was not fresh at all.

That's when Rhodes understood why the whole of Bilgewater had such a high desire for spices......

After a moment's hesitation, Rod didn't take out the underground ventilators used by the Zaun miners after all—that was too obvious, and his actions this time should be low-key.

Walking along the slippery streets, enduring the smell of corruption, Rhodes found his first goal, the tavern.

The sign is a grinning one-eyed dragon – the Cyanobacteria Bar.

A well-known bar chain in Bilgewater, run by a group of pirates who have washed their hands of gold.

The owner's pirate background made the bar a no-brainer, and the relatively low level made it a disdain for those who could afford to cause trouble - the name of the bar was so good that it quickly spread in Bilgewater like blue-green algae.

Pushing open the door of the bar, with a creak, Rod walked into the bar.

Thanks to Perfume - Rhodes felt that the whole person was getting better.

"A cup of Night Rose—if I can, I'd like to exchange some Silver Snake Coins for Gold Hex."

The common currency of Bilgewater is the Silver Snake Coins, and the Silver Hex: Silver Snake Coins: Gold Hex basically fluctuates on a 100:10:1 exchange ratio, and considering that Piltover has a better reputation, the Gold Hex and Silver Hex tend to be a little more expensive.

As for why the Silver Snake Coin is so much more expensive than the Silver Hex...... The reason is very simple, the silver snake coin is big!

Even if the composition of a palm-sized currency and a coin-sized currency are similar, the difference in silver content is extremely large.

Hearing that Rhodes wanted to exchange money, the boss who had been staring at the pirates just now smiled brightly.

In the vast majority of pubs, selling alcohol is a side hustle.

Rhodes' Violet Dream is a hub for intelligence trading, and the Cyanobacteria Bar is a universal supply station.

Here, you'll be able to satisfy most of the needs of low-end pirates and adventurers.

Currency exchange is their favorite thing, whether you have a Noxian double-headed eagle in your hand, or a Demacian golden sword, or an Ionian golden sun and moon, or a Shurima dog's head gold - here, you can exchange it according to the official ratio.

The only problem is that the processing fee is a bit high – 10%.

Soon, Rod exchanged his 17 gold hexes for 150 silver snake coins - 153 originally, and the other 3 were paid for the night rose.

I have to say that Bilgewater still has some advantages.

The adventurous city of Bilgewater is home to the largest gold grotto in all of Valoran, and the food and drink are excellent, and even a small tavern that produces night roses far superior to many of Piltover's big hotels.

Sitting at the bar, Rhodes sipped the night rose from his glass one by one.

The rhizomes of the night wormwood and the leaves of the radish give the bitter juice of the rose fruit a special flavor - a sweet and sour taste after filtering out the bitterness.

Three Silver Snake Coins...... It's worth it!

Of course, Rhodes' purpose was not to drink here.

With Cana's help, Rhodes was able to listen to the conversation throughout the bar.

"Piltover seems to be reopening."

"But don't go to Zu'an, our Seawolf Gang's previous way of making a move is all broken......"

"Lately, I have always felt that something is not right."

"Which? Is it the temple, or is it the Hooks? ”

"It's all right, be careful lately, our captain is having trouble with his little lover again—ah!"

The conversation came to an abrupt end, and the guy trying to show off that he knew a lot was caught by the neck of a sea serpent that appeared at an unknown moment, and at the table next to him, a woman with vertical eyes with green tattoos on her face was staring coldly at the struggling hapless bastard.

A devotee of Naga Kapolos.

The foul-mouthed pirate had just made a sarcastic remark about Planck and Aloy—for which Planck and his men had never cared for such an offense, but the followers of Naga Kapoulos could not tolerate such sarcasm of Aloy.

So this pirate learned his lesson.

Soon, the idiot who had drunk too much and dared to say anything was dragged out by the sea serpent, and the price that the follower of Naga Kapoulos paid for it was...... Floor cleaning fee for one Silver Snake Coins.

In Birgewater, life is so ...... It's not worth the money.

Rhodes witnessed everything, but was indifferent - it had nothing to do with him, this was the order of Bilgewater.

Rhodes was more concerned about why there was a follower of Naga Kapolos in this kind of bar.

As far as Rhodes knew, most of the followers of Naga Kapoulos did not like to leave their temple, and it was even more incredible to go in and out of such a low-end bar - Rhodes thought about it for a long time, but he could still figure it out.

Did Naga Kapoulos sense Jana's arrival and raise his vigilance?

No, it shouldn't be that way – because believers of this level can't discover their identity at all, and they only make themselves more vigilant.

Considering what the unlucky guy had just said, Rhodes suddenly realized that he seemed to be experiencing something big.

Unfortunately, the unlucky guy just now died, and no one will be the second one in a short time, so it is difficult for Rhodes to know what happened.

As for asking the boss directly......

Hehe, those who really did it were hanged on the dock.

You can't buy intelligence anywhere - you need a way, and it's hard to tell if the information you buy is real or fake.

So compared to deliberately inquiring, Rhodes trusts the wind and his own eyes more.

Gulping down the last sip of the night rose in his cup, Rhodes got up and left.

Anyway, it involved Planck - a trip to the slaughterhouse, and at the Hook Gang's home base, Rhodes was confident that he would always figure out what was going on.

Thinking of this, Rod twisted his neck and pushed the door open of the bar.

Taste of Bilgewater...... Disgusting as always.
