Section 97 The Breath of Approaching War

Although the equipment spread out on the bed is not glorious, it is also blinding. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In addition to the pair of Speed Boots that Lux took down at the beginning, there is a very inconspicuous off-white ribbon, a beautiful blue teardrop-shaped necklace, a strange colorful mask, and a dark purple fist gauntlet.

In this way, everyone can choose a suitable piece of equipment.

When the exciting time came, everyone decided to let Lux choose the equipment first, because the equipment could be obtained only thanks to Lux's negotiation skills.

Since she also got the introduction text of the equipment from Master Wright, Lux, who didn't need to test the effect one by one, quickly chose her equipment.

Considering the powerful Burst Staff in his hand, and his poor survivability after being approached, Lux decided to go for the Boots of Speed.

With these boots, if combined with the 'Light Bondage' and the 'Light Singularity', her guerrilla combat ability can be greatly improved.

Next up was Ezreal, the hero of the contest, who, after consulting with Teemo, took the blue drop-shaped necklace called 'Tears of the Goddess'.

Due to the violent use of the 'Ice Vein Gauntlet' in the game, this legendary-level gauntlet is now dormant, and even before being inspected by Master Wright, Ezreal once thought that the gauntlet could no longer respond to his mana infusion and was completely damaged.

Fortunately, after careful inspection, Master Wright deduced that the 'Ice Vein Gauntlet' had only entered a state of 'self-preservation' similar to human dormancy due to the huge impact and consumption of energy.

Of course, it can also be said that it is in a damaged state until it is re-functioned.

In the rest of the journey, Ezreal, who has lost the legendary gauntlet to increase the casting speed, must practice spellcasting all the time in order to solve the current dilemma of chanting for several seconds with 'Arcane Shot', casting 'Arcane Leap' at irregular and irregular times, and taking too long to prepare for 'Precision Barrage' that is impossible to use in actual combat.

The mask was better for Timo than the necklace, and Ezreal was left with tears of the goddess that were embarrassing for his current situation.

Of the remaining three pieces of equipment, the 'Spectre Mask' was taken by Teemo, who had already made up his mind, albeit a flawed item that had not been fully repaired.

It can only be used once a day for ten minutes, and then it takes a long time to recharge.

However, if worn on the face and used in battle, it can greatly increase the strength of the cute yodelers, increase the strength of spells equivalent to most of the bursting staff, and also increase the vitality of the user. Most terrifyingly, having an enchantment ability called 'Eye of Pain' can help Teemo's spell attacks better penetrate enemies.

After Timo finished choosing, Tristana asked the warrior monk Li Qing to choose first, because these two pieces of equipment were more suitable for the warrior monk to use, but Li Qing did not want to use too many foreign objects to improve his strength.

That would affect his Dao heart.

After some consideration, the monk chose the 'Mercury Ribbon'. The removal and control skill of the enchantment on the ribbon is similar to the secret art 'purification', and after having the charm, you may be able to choose to learn other more offensive secret arts when you hit the ground level.

In the end, what is left for the cannon girl Tristana is the fist glove 'Fist of the Purple Rainforest', which can increase vitality and a small amount of attack power, and the main effect is to make the yodelers not too embarrassed in close combat, a bit of a vampire's effect that gets stronger and stronger.

In this way, the cannon girl can release the violent factor in her small body in the battle.

Tristana didn't shirk anymore, happily accepted the gloves, and was already eagerly looking forward to the ensuing fight.

After the equipment was distributed, the five people who had a good harvest continued to discuss the itinerary in good spirits.

However, there is nothing to negotiate about the itinerary, everyone is at the mercy of Lux, and I heard that Noxus has begun to block the Sea of Guardians, and hopes to leave as soon as possible.

Ezreal then took the initiative to contact the ships willing to go to Ionia early the next morning.

But Lux had some other concerns, and suggested, "Do you want Timo to help?" ”

"No problem. Leave it to me! The Explorer replied confidently.

……

In the early morning, the mist in the harbor has not completely lifted, and this trestle bridge, which used to be very lively, is now rarely visited, except for the small local fishing boats that are allowed to go to sea, which are warships on the mission of banning the sea.

Whether it's the shops in the harbor or the trestle leading to the ships, soldiers in bright armor stand at every key point.

Caterina, dressed lightly, and Tyrone, who was always shrouded in the blue-gray cloak, were escorted by a small group of sergeants to the pier of Noxus Harbor, which was under martial law.

In the distance, Caterina had seen the camouflaged Noxus fast assault ship moored at the end of the trestle.

"Carter, aren't we going to stay and continue investigating the general?" The general that Tyrone spoke of in a low voice was not Svein, who had just been in a military meeting, but Katerina's father, his teacher and follower, Du. General Kerkao.

Tyrone, who was walking beside Katarina, was a little puzzled by the choice to leave Noxus at this time, because they had just obtained Du. Some clues to the disappearance of General Kerkao.

As the 'ominous blade' passed on to the soldiers on the border of Demacia, Caterina raised her eyes and swept over the nearby soldiers, but did not answer the question directly: "Tyrone, many troubles may not only be solved from the front, just like these fishermen who only have small boats but have to go out to sea to catch fish, they catch small fish with nets and big fish with fishing lines. ”

She looked around again, and finally looked at a large open-sea fishing boat moored at the berth, and added meaninglessly: "If the fishermen want to use a bigger net to catch all the big and small fish, they can't do anything in a time of martial law." ”

After speaking, he didn't speak anymore, but walked firmly towards the camouflaged fast assault ship.

Tyrone, who was around him to understand this sentence, unconsciously lagged behind Caterina by half a position, and after spending a little time and finally understanding the meaning of Caterina's words, Tyrone was finally convinced.

It is worthy of Du. The eldest daughter of the Quekao family, completely different from Tyrone, who grew up on the street and was accustomed to solving troubles directly with the knife in his hand, Katerina thought more about things.

If the truth is indeed as terrible as some hypothesis, then it is not a good choice for them, as the object of intense 'surveillance', to uncover the truth with all their might right now.

It is better to stay out of danger for a while, and let the truth be revealed later, or at a better time.

After a busy time, in the forbidden sea, in the port of Noxus, a 'merchant ship' sailed out to sea in the not very bright morning light, and soon disappeared from the sight of the soldiers on the trestle.

……

In the port of Blue Flame Island in Bilgewater, Ezreal, who slept late the night before because of visiting Master Wright and distributing equipment, failed to get up in time for the morning.

So when he finally came to the port, half a morning had passed.

Fortunately, the port of Blue Flame Island is always so lively, with passengers, merchants, sailors, and local small traders coming and going, and half-sized people begging for a living on the dock, and people of all kinds never stop coming and going.

It's just that this good time won't last long, and under the influence of the Noxus sea ban blockade and the closure of Mogro Pass, the north-south sea and land transportation on the Valoran continent has been basically cut off.

Ezreal bought one of the most famous local breakfasts, 'Steamed Fish with Leaves', at a roadside stall, and ate it as she walked, and then busily walked through the various marina taverns.

Usually the captain of the ship will have a business cooperation with these taverns. If you need to take a boat, just go to the tavern and give you the time and place you want to depart, and the owners of the pier tavern will be able to recommend a suitable boat for you.

However, by the time it was past noon, Ezreal, who was sweating profusely, had not found any ships willing to go to Ionia.

Even though he was willing to increase the fare to 5 gold coins per person, the tavernkeepers shook their heads in reply.

Wealth is attractive, but it also has to be earned by life.

Ships that dared to defy the Noxian naval blockade and sail to Ionia had either sunk to the bottom of the Guardian Sea or were docked in Noxus' harbor for inspection.

As the sun set, Ezreal's figure dragged long along Fleet Street in the reflection of the setting sun, and he was full of confidence in the task of finding a ship, and returned to the 'plank-walking Pete' disappointed.

Lux, who was waiting anxiously in the bar on the first floor, breathed a sigh of relief when Ezreal finally appeared at the door.

After all, there are still unknown enemies on the island, and 'explorers' who act alone are likely to be targeted.

Sitting down at the table of his companions, Ezreal told Lux that he had not found anything all day.

It seems that the situation on the mainland is more tense than any previous speculation.

Even Lux speculated that the war was approaching, otherwise Noxus would not have spared so much effort to block the north-south communication of the continent.

This is the rhythm that wants to trap Demacia.

After dinner, Ezreal invited the boss Pete to inquire again, because Pete's backstage 'bounty hunter' Miss Doom also had a boat, but Pete, who had already received a signal from Sister Good Luck, refused.

Breaking through the blockade of Noxus is not something that can be done with money.

Thankfully, Pete gave them a glimmer of hope and suggested that they go to the black market and bars near Skull Rock at night.

There were almost all the villains of Bilgewater, and perhaps some outlaws who wanted money and would dare to take over the business that went to Ionia.

Pete's words reminded Lux.

The girl recalled the words of the scholar named Cassadine she met while waiting for the ship in the harbor of Bandel City.

If you have any trouble going to sea, you can go to Captain Planck of the 'Scourge of the Seas'.

Cassadine's only advice was to have enough gold before looking for Planck. At present, they are relatively well-off, and do not need to be forced to work on ships like Cassadine, because they can only afford to pay for a few silver coins.
