"Ionia has made an alliance with us not a hundred times, but fifty times, right? What's so important about that? Barr asked rhetorically, his eyes still moving back and forth between Planck and Miss Doom, "I'm sure none of you here want to mess into that mess with Ionia, do they?" I've heard that Karma is back again, and it's going to be war again. So, I guess we're still ......."

"This time it's different, it's completely different." The old man, who was probably the leader of all the old guys, interrupted Barr, looked at everyone and paused before saying, "I think there's one thing you don't know yet, last month the War College sent us an ultimatum that we should be incorporated into the Supreme Council within a month, or they would take over Bilgewater by force." ”

"Take over Bilgewater by force? Oh my God, are they crazy? The old men who sat in a dark room all day long and discussed bad ideas. Barr laughed disdainfully, laughing even more hideously at the scar on his face, "Let them come if you have the ability, I want to see if they have the life to cross the Storm Strait and taste the guns of my Uncle Barr." ”

After saying that, Baal slammed the wooden long table of Black Rock with such a fugic slam that the dust on the entire table flew up.

"Alright, Barr, be quiet, do you only have muscles in your head?" Planck tapped his knuckles on the hard table and looked at the leader of the older generation, "Daddy Ferguson, it's not the first time that the council has tried to put pressure on us, and as far as I know, the new speaker of the council, Lalivash, is not a belligerent, do you think they are really hard-hearted this time?" ”

"If it was five years ago, no, even if it was a year ago the parliament said something like that. I couldn't help but laugh, but now......" The old guy known as Ferguson sighed, his forehead wrinkled with age twisted even more profoundly, "Since the Burning of the City that shocked the continent in Freljord a year ago, Valoran's two strongest city-states, Demacia and Noxus, have been severely damaged, and they are unlikely to make any more waves for a few years. Coupled with the Council's operation over the past decade or so, the situation on the entire continent has stabilized, so they are more than capable of freeing up their hands to deal with us, after all, Bilgewater is a real piece of fat. ”

As Father Ferguson's words came out, everyone fell silent, and even the most irascible Barr frowned and released his fist.

Everyone here understands that Bilgewater is where it is now. The reason why they are in the position of power they are now.

It's all because of freedom and disorder.

If the High Council were to intervene strongly, neither freedom nor disorder would be able to be discussed, and everything they had now would be lost, and the land of Bilgewater, where their ancestors had lived for countless generations, would lose its former glory.

Although the word glory is most of the time just a political necessity that they hang on their lips.

But it's still real.

In the heart of every Beagle Water.

Although everyone here had maintained a contemptuous attitude towards League of Legends and the Supreme Council, it was because they knew that the Dao Council had not yet exerted its full strength, and how could an organization that could conquer a land several times larger than Bilgewater's Unknown Dao stop at a small island?

Now, they're really going to give it their all.

"We have the most powerful naval fleet in the entire Seven Seas." Barr said with some luck.

Bilgewater did have a standing naval fleet. It has the most advanced ships, the most powerful artillery. There are also the most brave sailors, it can be said that on the sea, they are invincible, but ......

"Our adversary has a whole continent." Planck and Miss Doom said almost at the same time.

This time, the two of them had a tacit understanding against each other, but after finishing speaking, the two of them immediately glared at each other.

"That's a good point." Father Ferguson nodded and narrowed his eyes. "Moreover, on the island, there are already countless eyeliners belonging to the War College, and there is still a lot of power, just last month. I have cleared out one hundred and thirty spies, thirteen of whom are not small in force, including the Equestrian Chamber of Commerce. ”

The Equestrian Chamber of Commerce, the whole of Bilgewater can be ranked in the top 10 large chambers of commerce.

No wonder I didn't see the old man who likes to chatter the most on weekdays.

Planck thought so, slowly glancing around everyone.

His thoughtful eyes made everyone in the audience move their buttocks.

"Are you suspicious of us?" Barr, who had the most grumpy temper, couldn't help but speak, and he hammered the table harder, as if to encourage others to speak too.

"Okay, don't start a fight before we get into a fight." Father Ferguson coughed, "Except for the guy who is an outsider, all of you here are locals, your own people, no problem." ”

Even though he said that, his gaze at everyone was still clearly scrutinizing.

Everyone here can mix in this position, no one is a fool, and naturally they all understand a truth, whether it is a local or an outsider, everyone has a price.

For a while, the atmosphere in the entire conference room was even more awkward.

"So, an alliance with Ionia is imperative?" After a long time, Miss Doom finally couldn't stand the dullness and broke the silence.

"If you go head-to-head, you don't have any certainty." Papa Ferguson banged on the table and said, "So, if we can get Ionia's support and we form horns, maybe there's still a chance." Provided, of course, that they are dragged out of the quagmire of war first. ”

"This is not an easy matter, and we could be dragged into an endless war of attrition at any moment." Barr clearly disagreed, his violent temper did not seem to allow him to make a choice but to face him head-on, "When the time comes, those bastards of the High Council will take advantage of the situation, and we will really be the turtles in the urn." ”

"That's better than definitely losing, or ......" Planck sneered, "Bal, you're used to your good life, and you don't dare to gamble anymore?" ”

"You ......," Barr was stabbed by Planck's words, and stood up directly.

"So Planck, you agreed?" Father Ferguson didn't go to Ribal, but just knocked coldly on the table.

"Agreed, why not?" Planck nodded. At the same time, he defiantly gave Barr a middle finger.

"I agree." Miss Doom didn't disagree with Planck this time.

"Baal?" Father Ferguson turned his gaze to the angry Scar Man.

"Hmph—" Barr snorted and sat back down, acquiescing.

"Very good...... So......" Ferguson nodded, about to make the final decision.

"Tuk-tuk—" Just then, a sudden knock on the door interrupted him.

I saw a young man in a special uniform standing by the open black rock wooden door with a somewhat embarrassed face, looking at the whole table of bigwigs in the conference room.

"What's the matter?" The corners of Ferguson's eyes jumped, and he hated being interrupted.

"Sir Alexandre, Miss Anne has been waiting for a long time. His butler said......" replied the young man cautiously.

He vividly remembered that one unlucky boy was thrown into the sea at night to feed the sharks for interrupting one of Ferguson's enthusiastic speeches.

"Zhilu said, you can bring her over." Ferguson curled his tone a little, and sent the young man away as calmly as he could.

"Miss Annie?" Planck repeated the name and looked at Ferguson.

Miss Anne......

Annie.

I don't know what Lu Dao is for, but when he heard this obviously unfamiliar name, Chen Senran's heart was throbbing.

"Well, Anne, Gregory. Hasta's daughter. The sole heir of the Grey Order. "We're helping her find someone on the condition that the Grey Order is a friendship, and even though the Grey Order doesn't even have a parliamentary seat in Valoran, we need help from all quarters at times like this, and." I heard that she is very close to the Holy Alliance. ”

The Holy Alliance, led by Valoran's three strongest men, led the establishment of the block.

The portions are heavy.

"Oh......" Planck sighed. Some of them stood up from their positions with some lack of interest, "For the matter of forming an alliance, I will ask you to take the lead first." ”

He's leaving.

Chen Senran could only follow, although he desperately wanted to stay and meet Miss Anne.

"Well, I'll let you know next time." Father Ferguson didn't keep Planck either.

Seeing that the meeting was over, the others also got up and prepared to leave.

"Oh. By the way, Planck, I heard that there was a newcomer on your ship who was rescued from overboard? Ferguson suddenly called out to Planck, and he glanced at Chen Senran. Is that him? ”

"Yes, how? Do you think he's the one they're looking for? Of course, Planck had known about the search for the man, "He was rescued by me a few days ago, and his name is Blind Jack." ”

"Oh, Jack, that's not it, that person's name is Chen Senran, he fell into the water a few months ago, calculate the time, if he was alive, he would have lived in Bilgewater for a long time." Ferguson muttered quietly and waved his hand to signal that there was no more trouble.

Chen Senran has something.

He froze almost entirely in place at that moment.

Chen Senran......

Chen Senran?

Chen Senran.

Chen SenranChen SenranChen SenranChen Senran!!

These three people echoed in Chen Senran's ears countless times.

Someone...... Looking for me.

This thought made him completely unsure of what to do.

Unexpectedly, someone knows who I am?

His breath was rapid for a split second.

But he quickly suppressed all of his anomalies again.

He can't be exposed.

He could feel Planck's gaze sliding across his face.

Skeptical?

"Dear Captain, do I have bacon on my face?" Chen Senran smiled and immediately followed Planck's pace.

"Oh no, I just think you're great, really." Planck smiled and walked down the stairs and turned his face to Miss Doom to the side, "Oh, seriously, Sarah, thank you for not hitting me in the face today." ”

"Hmph, I'm just for Bilgewater." Miss Doom shook her head in the face of all the face, leaving her bright red hair to Planck.

"For Bilgewater, haha Planck laughed as he repeated the words.

Chen Senran kept thinking about the incident just now in his mind.

So much so that he didn't notice at all, not far behind him, a girl with pink hair was staring at his back in a daze.

"Komori ......" is like some kind of dream.

"All right, miss, you must be overthinking." The butler and coachman on the side interrupted the girl's distraction and signaled that she was going to the conference room. (To be continued......)
