The fifth day after the Sea Emperor Festival.

Billgewater finally started to rain again.

When the first drop of rain fell from the sky, the first alliance between Blue Flame and Ionia began.

It's still the gloomy conference room that looks dusty even when there's light.

Today's weather makes it even more gloomy and depressing.

It's not at all appropriate to talk about anything.

But the two sides representing Blue Flame Island and Ionia were already seated on either side of the huge Black Rock Wood table.

The host Blue Flame Island sat on the left side, a total of fifteen people, gathering the highest level of the entire Bilgewater Self-Management Association, among them, Planck, Father Ferguson, Miss Doom in the center, Chen Senran stood behind Planck like a shadow.

This time, no one was going to grab the two main seats at the head and tail.

On the right side of Ionia, there was only one person on the table, a samurai from Ionia, Irelia, who did not bring a single retinue.

"Welcome, Ionian Emissary, Honorable Will of the Blade, Miss Irelia." The opening remarks were made by Father Ferguson, he was in the center, representing the authority of the entire Blue Flame Island, and he smiled very officially, very decently, "Your prestige, even if it is tens of thousands of miles away from the sea, I can still hear about it everywhere." ”

The rain outside the window began to grow heavier, crackling against the window, making the whole somewhat silent conference room even more oppressive.

"You've won the prize, honorable Mr. Ferguson, and your caravan is famous all over the Endless Sea, and you sell goods all over Ionia." Irelia replied to Ferguson with a calm expression.

That sounds like a compliment.

But Planck pulled out a silent mockery.

Sure enough, such a person, even if he is praised, can only use weak words, which is really a great irony for Blue Flame Island.

Bill Geewater. It should have been ...... The world of pirates.

"How have you been in Bilgewater lately, Miss Irelia, my subordinates haven't neglected you, have they?" Planck didn't hold back the smile on his face at all, thinking like this, and stole the conversation.

"Not at all, Mr. Jack's hospitality was incredibly attentive and I appreciate his hospitality. Blue Flame Island is a great place to be. Irelia continued to argue with Planck without a hint of impatience, and she nodded to Chen Senran behind Planck.

Chen Senran responded as if sensing it.

He was a little surprised, Irelia, the girl who looked a little green in front of him, was also a fluent answer at the moment.

In fact, despite her innocence and kindness, Irelia is often able to show extraordinary determination and ability when facing enemies, both on the battlefield and at the negotiating table.

"Should I say it's a nice day. Are we going to go out and bask in the sun? Miss Doom said impatiently.

The rain outside the window was heavier, and she was distraught by the crackling hit.

Such a rainy day should not have been negotiated at all.

Do you want to talk here until tomorrow?

Miss Doom is actually not suitable for politics in nature, she still yearns for romance and the sea.

In other words, women should stay away from politics.

"Of course not, I think it's time for us to get down to business." Father Ferguson picked up the topic and pushed his reading glasses. He smiled and said, "Miss Irelia? ”

"Yes. I think yes, the alliance was proposed by our side, and it is indeed up to me to speak first. Irelia nodded, not showing any stage fright, her face calm and obvious. She was really well prepared, "First of all, I need to determine your determination to form an alliance. ”

"Determination? What do you mean? Once again, it was Planck's turn to speak, and he looked nonchalantly at the delicate samurai opposite.

Compared to Irelia, Planck is too old and spicy. He has lived in hell since he was a child, so he always has the breath of a demon flowing through his body.

Demons are always associated with politics.

"You must also know the current situation in Ionia, Noxus is dying, they have launched an attack several times more fierce than before, their soldiers and war machines are constantly flowing towards Ionia, we need the sea." Irelia paused for a moment and then said, "We need a war without worries. ”

"So...... Well, I have to admit that your presentation was great. Planck grabbed the conversation again, and he left it blank again, "But ......"

"I need your sea power, although we have a fleet to be proud of in Ionia, but it was the glory of the Imperial Age decades ago, and now ......" Irelia began to breathe a little, "I must admit that your sea power is the strongest in the entire Endless Sea, and can definitely sweep anyone, besides, I heard that you recently caught a new dragon shark?" ”

"Well......" Planck spoke for the third time, and Ferguson also looked like he was not in a hurry to let Planck speak first, but his brow was slightly furrowed.

"Miss Irelia, you should know something, right? Everything has its price. ”

With that, Planck closed his mouth again.

Irelia began to frown as she seemed to be thinking something, "What is this......"

Don't talk.

Chen Senran frowned.

Although Irelia is calm enough and confident enough on the spot, it may be the reason why she has always been used to fighting on the battlefield, and her negotiation mode is also straightforward, and it may not be anything to talk to Chen Senran, and Chen Senran himself is not very sought.

But now......

Too passive, completely led by Planck's nose.

Little girl, it's too tender.

"Just ......" the female warrior was about to say something, but she suddenly stopped as if she remembered something, "No, Mr. Planck, the procedure shouldn't be like this, first you have to reply if I want to, and then I must also review your Sea Emperor Trident fleet, I must make sure that it is strong, and at the last of all, we will talk about the cost." She said a passage in one breath as if she were reciting it.

Someone apparently taught her.

The Apocalypse?

"And I don't think you have much reason to turn me down, after all, Bilgewater is ...... now," Irelia seemed to have learned Planck's blank as if all at once.

Regarding the current situation of Bilgewater, Chen Senran revealed it to her.

And Bill Gewater really doesn't have a choice now.

This matter has already been decided last time.

This time, Planck really just wants to get the most out of it, as well as ......

Planck looked at Ferguson's side face and smiled meaningfully.

The conference room fell silent again, and once again only the crackling rain outside the window.

The crackling rain is like the crackling hearts of everyone present.

"Okay." Ferguson finally grabbed the right to speak, his face was calm, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, "I agree to review the Sea Emperor Trident first, what about everyone?" ”

"Reconsideration."

"Reconsideration."

"Reconsideration."

"Reconsideration." Planck laughed even more playfully.

The first alliance meeting ended with the finalization of the review of the fleet.

The review is scheduled for three days later.

I don't know if it will rain that day.

Irelia left the room briskly after the meeting, and the rest of Bilgewater's side began to leave their seats.

And when Chen Senran followed Planck away from Miss Doom, she suddenly whispered, "I agreed to what happened last time." ”

What about the last time, having dinner, and Planck?

Planck, who pretended not to hear anything, laughed silently.

And in the conference room.

There are still two people left.

Father Ferguson and his henchmen, an equally white-bearded old guy.

"This damn Planck is really getting less and less interested in me." Father Ferguson seemed to be talking to himself, as if to speak to that henchman.

"Yes, the last time I forcibly sat in that position, this time I blatantly robbed you of your right to speak." The old henchman replied angrily, "This damn guy, does he really think he's Vincent?" Even Vincent didn't dare to do this to us back then, which is really unreasonable, and I think we should teach him a lesson. ”

“…… Blue Flame Island is not supposed to be a pirate's Blue Flame Island. Ferguson was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said.

"You mean ......" The henchman was shocked, and subconsciously looked around, wanting to say something but not daring to say it.

"Vincent has been dead for years, and it's time for us to get back what is ours." Ferguson took off his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, tapped on the table and said, "Bad luck has been close to him lately?" ”

"That's not true, they don't communicate much, but Planck's third mate seems to have a good relationship with bad luck." The henchman thought for a while and then said, "However, the relationship between that third mate and Planck seems to be very delicate, Planck...... seems to be very jealous of him, and the third mate himself ......"

"It's just a little person." Ferguson lightly gave Chen Senran a definition, "Barr, you can pull it over, Planck, there is no one, ...... then"

When the time comes.

The rain outside the window was still going on and on.

Heavy rain washed away a lot of things.

Meanwhile.

Pier 3 where the rain roared.

An ordinary ship that could not be more ordinary has docked in the wind and rain.

A man wrapped in pitch-black robes stepped out of the cabin.

He didn't care about the heavy rain at all, so he raised his head in the heavy rain, looked at the heavy rain sky, took a deep breath, and let out a beastly roar that was not at all human:

"I smell them." (To be continued......)

PS: It's a change today.

Think about something.

I'm sorry.
