Chapter 373: A New Fashion in Pirate City
Although the travelogue about the Python Islands is full of all kinds of gibberish, when these gibberish all mention the same word, Rhodes has to pay attention.
Pirate......
The Anaconda Islands have some relationship with pirates - and what this relationship is, Rhodes does not know.
When people think of pirates, their first impression is often Bilgewater β but in reality, the history of piracy is much longer than that of Bilgewater.
There is an interesting proverb in Bilgewater: the first to go to sea is an explorer, the second is a fisherman, and the third is a pirate.
Although the explorer here refers to the pioneers, the fisherman to the pioneers, and the pirates to the marauders, the origin of piracy is also explained from the side.
When a group of people go to the sea to fish, those who are strong but not skilled will naturally become pirates once they have a crooked mind.
Now, in order to find out the records of "pirates" on the Python Islands, Rhodes left Fukuguang Island directly and stepped on a ship bound for Bilgewater.
Because of the urgency of time, Anne and Jinx were left on Fuguang Island by Rhodes - and in order to ensure that the two Loli would not have problems, Rhodes prepared a lot of talismans.
These talismans were all stocked on Fuguang Island, which had lost their energy due to the passage of time, and were used again after Rhodes replenished their energy.
As long as Anne and Jinx fight again, the defense talisman will bind these two irascible Lori, and at the level of the two of them, it is impossible to break free from the shackles of the talisman - steady~
After reconfirming that they could not remove their amulet, Rhodes finally stepped on the ship bound for Bilgewater.
At this time, it is far from the night of the Soul Eclipse...... Four days to go.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
It's been almost a year since Wave of Flames, but the days of the Bilgewater pirates haven't changed much.
Pirates aren't very good at handling domestic affairs - then again, if they're really good at production, they can still run to Bilgewater to be pirates?
So Sarah's revival plan is still far away.
Although Bilgewater has a lot of commercial products from the Twin Cities, and there are good taxes on ships, the people here are not good at business!
It's been almost a year since Sarah took control of Bilgewater β but alas, Bilgewater hasn't changed dramatically.
The sources of subsistence of the Beagles are still commerce, plundering and fishing, and the proportion of predation in this has declined, but not significantly.
In a word, Bilgewater's path to transformation ...... It's a long way to go.
But when Rhodes stepped onto Bilgewater, he noticed a change.
Well...... At least Bilgewater doesn't stink so much!
You know, this time there is no one for Rod's side to have a humanoid air purifier, Jana, so he is particularly concerned about the taste of Bilgewater.
Fortunately, after Sarah came to power, places such as the Slaughterhouse for dismembering sea monsters and collecting blood have been transformed into Fisherman's Wharf, and the whole of Bilgewater no longer has to be shrouded in foul-smelling air.
Since he didn't have many acquaintances in Bilgewater, Rhodes approached Sarah straight awayβher headquarters hadn't moved.
Although Rod didn't greet Sarah beforehand, Sarah still had a premonition that Rhodes would come when the night of the Eclipse was approaching - so she wasn't so surprised when she met Rhodes.
"Mr. Rhodes - long time no see."
Facing the elegant and calm Sarah, Rod also smiled.
"Long time no see, Miss Sarah."
A familiar greeting, but the identities of the two have changed dramatically.
In the past, Rhodes was just the lord of the twin cities who pulled the banner of Tiger Pila, but now he is a veritable master of Fuguang Island; And Sarah, who was once just an avenger full of hatred, has now also become the queen of doom of Billgewater.
The two men looked at each other and smiled.
"Tell me straight, Mr. Rhodes - you are a man who will not be without purpose, and you must have something to do with me when you come to Bilgewater?"
"Of course." Rhodes didn't hide it either, "This time the Night of Soul Eclipse is special, due to the previous events of the Scarlet Moon, it is very likely that Naga Kapoulos will be free from his shackles on the Night of Soul Eclipse. β
"Naga Kapoulos will reappear?" Sarah frowned, "Is Bilgewater going to have another wave of flames?" β
It's not that Sarah is nervous, it's because the previous wave of flames has caused too heavy losses to Bilgewater - especially in the later battle between Cana and Naga Kapoulos, almost all the fishing boats near the coast where they fought were destroyed, which made Sarah have to compensate for a quarter of Planck's treasure to maintain the fishermen's emotional stability.
War this thing - when the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels!
Rod's actions in Noxus have even slowed down the pace of reform and strategic shift of the entire Noxian Empire, and Sarah doesn't want to see Billgewater, who has just become a little angry, sink into the flames of war again!
As if sensing Sarah's thoughts, Rod waved his hand a little helplessly.
"I don't want this Eclipse Night to affect Bilgewater again, so I'm going to take the initiative and go to Naga Kapolos' lair for a decisive battle."
"Oh?" Sarah raised her eyebrows a little apprehensively, "You want to go...... Python Islands? β
"That's right!" Rhodes snapped his fingers, "I was planning a trip to the Python Islands, but before then, I need your help." β
"Me?" Sha stretched out her finger and pointed at herself, "I help?" β
"That's right." Rhodes nodded, "I've looked up a lot of information about the Python Islands, and the records above all point to a special word. β
"What words?"
"Pirates!"
"Pirates?!" Sarah couldn't believe it, "The guys in the Python Islands hate pirates the most - on the only trade route in the Anaconda Islands, they demand that there be no pirates among all sailors!" β
Hearing Sarah say this, Rod could only shrug his shoulders.
"Pirate ......"
Sarah lowered her head and began to ponder the meaning of the word.
Bilgewater is indeed a pirate city, but after the faith of Naga Kapoulos was pulled out, the entire connection between Bilgewater and the Python Islands was only a half-year trade event.
And at this annual trade event, all sailors are not pirates......
So Rhodes must have had some other meaning when he said pirates.
What is it......
Suddenly, Sarah remembered a story that had been going down in Bilgewater for a long, long time, and the protagonists of the story were the three pirate brothers.
