Section 98 Set sail, the Abyss

Skull Rock at night is not easy to find. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it is the most famous landmark here, the ship's lookout will inevitably see the skull rock first when a ship enters the harbor, but the rock is actually located on a cliff behind the city.

It took a while to find their way to Skull Rock, but they eventually chose to pay a few silver coins and have a drunken drunken pirate lead the way, following through many winding stone steps before approaching the Black Market Bar Street under Skull Rock.

As soon as they walked down the stone steps to the smelly black market, everyone was taken aback by the unique names of the bars.

If you talk about those part-time black shops on Warship Street, at least take the belly of a hamster, so that the seemingly normal name can cover it up.

The names of the bars on the black market are much more direct and violent, such as 'Bleeding Morgan' and 'Rotten Artificial Legs', which seem to be too eager to scare away customers.

But in fact, black market bars, the more ruthless and violent the name, the better the business.

At first, the five people walking through the streets were still very concerned and hostile to the pirates, and this was not a place for tourists to set foot in.

Even in the shadows behind him, some drunks who wanted to make extra money gradually appeared.

However, well-informed pirates soon recognized the out-of-towners of this small group with distinctive appearances.

It's the powerful guys who just won the championship in the 'Big Smash Bros.' competition.

As a result, the pirates who followed a few people to make extra money were all pulled away by their companions or slipped away on their own. And the pirates who sat in the bars on the black market street no longer released hostility towards them, but only whispered the news of the strong performance of these people in the game yesterday.

Ezreal, who was at the front of the team, was about to find a suitable bar to ask about the whereabouts of the 'Ocean Disaster', but he didn't expect that the manager of this underground world had already sent someone to find them.

"Young man, although you are very strong, outsiders are not welcome here."

A barkeeper and his men stopped the outsiders.

Ezreal stepped forward and told them what they were here for, "We're here for Planck, the Scourge of the Seas. ”

The barkeeper who came forward quickly looked at a few people with a suspicious eye, and then responded coldly: "He's not here, if you want to seek revenge, you're probably in the wrong place." ”

"No, we need a boat to get out of here and go to a place where there is a lot of risk, and I heard that there is no 'sea disaster' that we dare not go." Ezreal explained.

"I hope you're not lying," said the sturdy barkeeper, who listened to the 'explorer' and gave a little warning, before turning his head and commanding his men, "Cardo, take them to the 'anchorage' to find Planck." ”

"Roger!" A thin pirate beside the barkeeper stepped out and walked up to Ezreal in two steps, leading them away from the black market.

Another tortuous path, gradually decreasing in height, finally followed by the sound of 'squeak' under the feet, and walked onto a simple trestle bridge.

This is where the pirates are on Blue Flame Island, a temporary haven and a dirty spot, and there are many pirate ships parked by the humble pier, and when the wind is not so tight, the pirates are willing to take a risk and come to Bilgewater Island to relax.

What's more, a few days ago, a 'Big Smash Bros.) tournament was being held.

Therefore, Ezreal's behavior of rushing to the black market was actually very dangerous, but fortunately, the identities of the five of them were recognized before the conflict.

The five followed the guy named Cado to Planck's boat.

The entire pier was darkened except for the stern of each ship, which was hung with wind lanterns of different colors.

Ezreal, who was a little worried, was about to stop Cardo and ask, when a drunken shout came from the top of his head not far away: "Ahhhhhhhhh See what's in the toilet? ”

And Cardo also stopped at this time, raised his hand and pointed in the direction where the voice came: "It's here." This is Captain Planck. ”

Then he left Ezreal and the five men alone, turned around and walked away.

Through the faint moonlight, Ezreal looked at it for a long time, and finally realized that the piece in front of him was darker than the surroundings, and it was Planck's ship of the 'Scourge of the Seas'!

It's really maverick enough.

Not only was it not lit, but even the hull of the ship was painted black, well, and the sails were not spared, so it was almost impossible to see at night.

"Well, hello, Captain Planck! We came here because we heard that there is no place on this sea that you dare not go. ”

Ezreal shouted with his head tilted in the direction of the voice he had just heard.

I never thought that a black shadow suddenly appeared overhead, 'Bang'! Then came Planck, who jumped out of the boat, and the sound of stomping heavily on the trestle.

“ahoy! Pretty much yes, it depends on how much you can pay? "'Plague of the Seas' staggered to the five of them, and the smell of rum alcohol as soon as he opened his mouth made Ezreal, who was standing in front of him, frown, it was simply a 'disaster of dialogue'.

But the 'explorers', who had been tormented all day long, did not dare to speak out of the idea, and if they offended Planck again, they would really have to buy a small boat of their own and row along the coastline to Ionia.

Holding back the discomfort of the smell of wine on their faces, Ezreal and Planck reported their boat fare: "We need to get to Ionia as soon as possible, and we can pay up to 5 gold coins per person, can Captain Planck." ”

'Goo, goo~' Planck drank the bag of 'Black Pearl Rum' in his left hand, wiped off the rum foam dripping along his beard, swept over the five people in front of him with half-open drunken eyes, and replied nonchalantly: "Come on, beauty!" I have a cargo hold, so I can get on board and do some deck work. ”

The attitude of the "Disaster of the Sea" made the "explorer" a little surprised, and was about to pay but was stopped by Lux beside him, seeing that Planck had already seen his identity under the cloak, he directly stepped forward to negotiate with the captain: "Captain Planck, I want to confirm the arrival time with you before paying." ”

"Oh?!" The 'Disaster of the Seas', who was about to turn around, heard Lux's words, so he turned halfway to look at it, and his eyes, which were originally a little drunken and hazy, suddenly became clear for a moment, and then replied to the drunken and smoky appearance again, and answered the girl's question vaguely.

"The time of going to sea is set by me, and the time of arrival is set by the wind. If you want to go full throttle, you have to rely on luck~"

Hearing this, Ezreal suddenly understood that he had been tricked by Planck, who seemed to be drunk, and was about to take a step forward to theorize, but the instep of his foot was stomped on by Lux.

Even without the use of wind lanterns, everything around them was under Planck's complete control, and the small movements of the two young men could not escape his observation.

So he now directly ignored the blonde kid who was pushed out and used as cover, and it seemed that the team was talking to the little one hiding under the cloak. Girl.

Sure enough, I saw that Lux had a good showdown with Planck: "Captain Planck, the fare has doubled, and you can live anywhere, but we don't do chores." If you've watched yesterday's Smash Bros. final, you'll know we're all good fighters, and if there's an eye-catching Noxian warship in the way, we'll be at your command! ”

After saying this, Planck in front of the meeting closed his eyes slightly and seemed to be thinking, and Lux gritted his teeth and added another bargaining chip: "As long as you can reach Ionia within ten days, you can trouble the Noxian warship on the way!" ”

"Hmm...... Well, I hope you're worth the risk. Deal, let's get on board! ”

Planck, who accepted Lux's proposal, his eyes flickered slightly, and his momentum changed dramatically at this moment, from a drunkard to the formidable 'Plague of the Sea'.

"We're going back to the tavern to pack our bags, and we'll meet here tomorrow morning when the sun rises, will we, Captain?"

Although there were not many things in the tavern, they were all small items that could be used in the field, and it was very time-consuming to procure them again, so Lux and Planck agreed to meet at the pier in the morning.

Reaching for a rope ladder hanging from the side of the ship, Planck returned to his boat, only to drop a reply from it halfway through: "Whatever you want." ”

"Let's go, let's go back to the tavern first."

……

It took a lot of time to get back to the tavern the night before, and it took half a day to pack up and toss for half a day before going to bed.

The next morning, before dawn, I greeted the tavern owner Pete, took a few bags of Pete's 'Atting Mountain Eclipse Rum', and walked towards the Skull Rock Trestle in the dark.

The bags were mainly for the two yodel companions, who were to spend the next ten days at sea, and without Pete's rum, which relieved seasickness, then Timo and Tristana would be no different from going to hell.

The group followed Ezreal, who would never get lost once after walking through it, and arrived just in time for sunrise and stopped at the berth of the "Abyss" pirate ship on the pier.

When the pirates who were preparing to set off saw that the 'guests' had arrived, they threw the rope ladder off the side of the ship, and the group of five, who had already discussed these situations, was given priority to the warrior monk Li Qing to board the ship, and Ezreal was the last.

The sailboat before the ocean voyage was very busy, and Captain Planck could not spare time to meet them, so he only asked the third mate to take the 'guests' down to the cargo hold to see their rooms that had been separated from the cargo hold.

As a pirate ship, there won't be any good places for them to stay.

The cargo compartment is very rudimentary, but it's nice not to have to live on the same floor as the ugly pirate crew.

Anyway, they had two ladies in their ranks, and it wouldn't be easy to get into a conflict with the drunk crew because of it.

Not counting the strength, at least the five of them can't move such a big boat.

As he was settling in, Planck's very distinctive voice came from the deck, giving the command to sail: "Full speed ahead!" ”
