Piltover's accidental robbery ended unexpectedly.

Vi quietly tells Tsuko that she and Caitlin will definitely change the future of Leather City, making the law the only rule here, not lynching and aristocracy.

Tsumiko encouraged her with a smile and said, "Well, I believe in you, you will be able to succeed." You're going to have to fumble around these two rings, they're much more powerful than you think. ”

When she lifted the ring, her face was full of joy, and she said that Caitlyn was going to kill her, but when she saw the ring turned into a two-handed fist, her eyes were filled with envy.

Saying goodbye to Wei, Mo Tie and Xianzi finally boarded Zu'an's smuggling ship.

Their final destination is the Isle of Shadows, where they must start from the harbor of Bilgewater, and the only docks in the entire continent of Valoran that can lead to Bilgewater are Zaun and Pyg.

Ionia will never establish trade routes with pirates.

There weren't many people on the smuggling ship, just a few crew members and a dark-skinned middle-aged captain.

However, to Mo Tie's curiosity, the captain recruited a few street orphans from Zu'an Alley before sailing and placed them in a storage room at the end of the warehouse.

There weren't many people on the boat like Mo Tie, only two young men and a middle-aged couple.

They lived in the crew lounge, a total of six people in one room.

Because of the beauty of the child, the two young men and the middle-aged husband couldn't help but peek, and the middle-aged wife was about to pinch her husband's arm and still couldn't control her husband's eyes.

"Is this your wife, sir?" A young man plucked up the courage to ask Mo Tiedao.

Mo Tie was surprised to find that this young man was very polite, which did not match the impression Zu An gave him: "Yes. Are you a resident of Phi City? ”

"Of course," said the young man proudly, "how can the Zuan Guys have the courage to go to sea with the ship?" ”

Mo Tie asked with interest, "Do you often go to sea?" ”

The young man scratched his head and became humble again: "Fortunately, I have been to Bilgewater twice before, both with my family. This is my first time on the sea alone, and by the way, my name is Willen Gilpala. ”

As soon as his name was said, the middle-aged couple in the same room trembled, and their bodies seemed to be rickety, and they involuntarily became shorter.

Because the Gilpala family is an old aristocracy in Piltover, dating back almost five hundred years, they still hold the most important authority in Piltover.

Willen was suddenly enveloped by the aura of the family, comparing himself to the others present.

Another young man also stammered a little and said, "Wei ...... Hello, Sir Willen. I'm Nim Shavik of the Shavik family and I have had the pleasure of sharing a cruise with you, and I sincerely ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Willen waved his hand impatiently and said, "No need to be polite, Count Shawick is highly respected, you and I can interact on an equal footing." And I came out on the smuggies, and I don't want anyone in Peel to rumor that I've been to Bilgewater. ”

"Ah, of course, I just met you on a luxury cruise ship." Nimes didn't quite let go, but he understood what Willen meant.

Mo Tie looked at these two big and small nobles with interest, probably this is the big family of Picheng, and it is not the same style as Camille.

Suddenly, he thought of a few street orphans on the ship, and asked strangely, "Wellen, since you have been out to sea twice, do you know why the captain brought a few children from Zaun before leaving the ship?" ”

As soon as this topic was mentioned, except for Mo Tie and Yanzi, everyone's faces changed drastically, as if they had seen something indescribably terrifying.

The middle-aged couple even shook each other's palms, relieving each other's tension.

Wei Lun was the first to calm down, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sir, you haven't been to Zu'an or Picheng before. ”

Mo Tie nodded: "It's the first time." ”

Willen looked at the other companions who were still panicking, sighed and said, "In the ancient legend of Bilgewater, there is an ancient god in the sea, who is in the image of a sea monster, who lives in the abyss under the archipelago all year round, and some people call her Bearded Lady. It's terrifying, and it's capable of overturning a huge cruise ship with ease. So, upon arrival or departure from the port, the sailors would drop tribute from the ship to appease its wrath. ”

"Tribute?" Mo Tie grasped the key word.

"Yes, under normal circumstances, sailors use living people as sacrifices, and the few little children you see must be orphans on the streets, no one cares about their life or death, and they are the best sacrifices."

Mo Tie was deeply taken aback: "There are still living sacrifices?" ”

Willen nodded, and said with some fear in his eyes: "That's right, not only that, but some harsh captains will also crush children with half-human-high stone mortars and splash pure flesh and blood on the stern of the ship, a process called a sacrificial ceremony. However, I have inquired about the captain of this ship, and he is not in the habit of doing ceremonies. ”

Yanzi couldn't help but look at Mo Tie, with some determination in his eyes.

Mo Tie nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”

With that, he and Tsumiko got up and walked out of the crew lounge.

When she came to the rear of the warehouse, she reached out and pulled it, and the steel lock was torn off by her.

Pushing open the wooden door, the sunlight from the sea poured into the dark room, and eight emaciated children shivered and leaned against each other.

They all looked at the door and were stunned, they had never seen such a beautiful big sister.

"Sister, are you taking us to dinner?"

A little girl with blue hair asked curiously with big innocent eyes.

At a glance, she could see that the number of these children was the same as when she got on the boat, but fortunately they had not yet been taken to sacrifice.

She breathed a sigh of relief, smiled charmingly, and said, "Yes, you guys come with me." ”

The children all looked incredulous, but only the little blue-haired girl who asked the question immediately stood up and walked towards the child with a smile, not suspecting that she had been deceived.

"Don't, Jinx." There was a child in the back who reached out and tried to stop her, "Watch out for them. ”

Jinx turned her head, looked at her little friend, and said strangely, "Eat, don't you want to eat?" ”

The seven children, still crouching on the ground, looked at each other with frightened expressions, and even the little boy who reached out to hold Jinx retracted his arms.

They whispered, "Let her go, let her be the first one, she's already insane." ”

"Yes, yes, she's so positive, let her die."

……

Mo Tie shook his head speechlessly when he heard the whispers of these children.

With a calm look in her eyes, she asked, "Does anyone else want to eat?" Come along, there is hot soup and bread. ”

"No, no, no, we don't."

The children refused.

Jinx frowned, snorted, and said, "Then don't run around, I'll see if I can steal some and bring it to you." ”
