The boat docks at a private pier dedicated to Planck in Bilgewater.

With the exception of a few unfortunate ones who had been left behind to guard, the other pirates poured out almost as soon as the ship came to a stop.

Miss Doom also left quickly, leaving alone without the little fish-man Fitz, who had cost her so much to survive.

Before she left, she blew in Chen Senran's ear extremely ambiguously, telling him that he could go to her at any time, and she was at the Call Girl Tavern in the West District.

Chen Senran did not react to this.

He didn't want to wade into this troubled water.

Or rather, not yet.

The ship became empty, leaving only Chen Senran and Fitz, the little fishman who had been unable to figure out the situation around him quickly, standing at the bow of the boat.

"Wow, Jack, where are we going now?" Fiz the little fishman was stunned for a long time before scratching his loose hairbeard and asked.

In the past few days, the other pirates on the Abyss didn't bother with Fitz at all, only Chen Senran was willing to talk to it.

Coupled with Chen Senran's deliberate conversation with it, they have become very good friends.

"I don't know the way, you know the way, it's the first time I've come here, I don't know anything about this place." Chen Senran felt the extraordinarily warm sunshine today, and exhaled slightly, "Why don't you take me around?" ”

"Okay, I've been here for a while, and I know a lot of interesting places, I'll take you there later." The little fish-man jumped with some excitement on its trident, and jumped off the deck of the Abyss in two clicks.

"Come on." It beckons below.

"It's good, I'll be here right away." Chen Senran said this, and subconsciously glanced at the direction of the captain's room.

He knew that Planck hadn't left yet, and in fact, he had barely come out of the captain's room in the last few days. He had been silent about what had happened on the ship recently.

It's like being neutral.

...... the hell What the hell?

————————————

Long after Chen Senran and the little fishman Fitz left, Proto, the thin man who had already run off the ship, hurried back to the Abyss, came to the captain's room, and knocked on the closed door.

He's the ...... of Captain Zhilu Dao Accustomed to it, he knew that the captain would be closed in the captain's room every few days of the month, and he didn't know what the road was about.

Privately, there were also discussions among the crew. It is said that the captain has some hidden disease, and he needs to hide in the house for a few days and cannot see the sun.

But then, with the sudden death of that crew member, coupled with Planck's usual prestige, no one dared to talk about it anymore.

This matter has become a taboo, and everyone does not dare to say it, but remember one thing, it is best not to disturb the captain during these days, and even if there is something important, remember to knock on the door, otherwise he will go to the sea to feed the sharks like some unlucky person who rushes the door in.

Proto stood cautiously in the doorway. Don't get too close so you might hear something you shouldn't be hearing.

"Come in." Planck's voice came from the closed door, a slight ...... Weak.

"Yes, Captain." Proto didn't push the door right away, but spoke out to confirm it for a while before pushing it open.

Planck sat upright in the captain's chair, a fine white Demacian candle lit on the table in front of him, reflecting his face and the oil portraits of the three previous captains behind him, giving him an eerie feeling in the whole slightly dimly lit cabin.

"Close the door." Planck spoke. His face was extremely stiff and rigid, giving Proto a very uncomfortable mechanical feeling.

That sense of mechanics reminded Proto of the faces of dead men.

"Yes." Proto swallowed and replied with only one word. He even forgot to say the casual slapping words that came out of his mouth on weekdays.

Planck felt so depressed today that he wanted to get out of the cabin at once.

But he couldn't, he could only reluctantly walk in front of Planck and lower his head slightly.

He was a little afraid to look at Planck's face.

Eye.

A pair of fierce and vicious ...... that made him more uneasy than before. Empty.

"You're afraid of me?" Planck spoke again, this time with a stiffness and hollowness in his tone.

"I ...... I've been so ...... to you from start to finish Awe. Proto's suppressed throat was so thirsty that he almost couldn't finish a sentence.

"What's going on?" Planck did not continue with the previous question, but moved on to another topic.

"Yes. Recently...... "Proto hurriedly searched his mind for some of the latest news he had just gotten.

Although Planck has been at sea lately, he has left behind a left-behind organization in Bilgewater, dedicated to managing some of his properties and gathering the latest intelligence.

Proto was the one who was responsible for collecting information every time he returned.

It can be seen that he is for Planck. It's also a confidant.

"Recently, there have been a lot of outsiders coming to the city." Proto finally remembered something and organized the language.

Although Bilgewater is not a city-state in all Valoran official designations, it is a large city in the truest sense of its size and the locals, and even a small country.

"When did Bilgewater run out of outsiders?" Planck asked rhetorically, but his mood did not change, but became more nihilistic.

"Yes, yes, it's just that the outsiders are weird, they're from the War College, Noxus, whatever, they're not here for business, they're not here for fun, they're looking for someone." Proto hurriedly added, "Although they think they are doing very secretively, we still know the Tao, and besides, they seem to be antagonistic to each other, and they both extremely don't want the other party to know that they are looking for this person." ”

"Who?" Planck Straight Point Theme.

"I don't know...... It seems to be a guy who was very famous in Valoran some time ago, what kind of flame tyrant Chen Senran. Proto frowned and sorted out the information, forgetting Planck's coercion for a while.

"Flame Tyrant Chen Senran, the guy who destroyed a city with one hand, seems to have disappeared a few months ago." Planck muttered to himself, "When did it start?" ”

"Two months ago." Proto responded immediately.

"Then it's not." Planck said suddenly.

That's not it......

What not?

Proto was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood the meaning of this sentence, it was not Blind Jack.

That guy was picked up from the sea just the other day.

If you had fallen into the sea a few months ago, you would have been soaked in powder long ago.

"What else?" Planck kept that motion, in the candlelight, like a sculpture.

"And ...... Someone from Ionia has come to the island again, and they seem to want to talk about an alliance again. Once again, Proto was forced to bow his head by Planck's stiffness.

He always felt that there was a rotten smell in the cabin today.

"Well, I've gotten it, let's go down." Planck finally moved and nodded, "It's fun." ”

"Yes...... It's ......" Proto, who had retreated relatively smoothly, was so excited by Planck's most gloomy playfulness that he almost sat on the ground.

He hurriedly retreated to the door, quickly opened it, and carefully closed it.

At the very last moment when the door closed, he saw Planck's face, faintly transparent. (To be continued......)
