After a farce, the atmosphere in the tavern was much better.

Poppy is mostly self-cooked, and quickly gets along with Graves and Trist.

Compared to Graves' straight temper, Trist also deliberately befriended these yodelers.

Hawkers, being able to knock out Graves with one punch and kick is enough to be his new backer.

While the chatter was hot, Zben quietly came to Salefen's side, and after bowing respectfully, he had an apologetic look on his face:

"Teacher, I made my own claim."

Seraphine has never hidden her talent, and everyone around her knows that she can get what she wants, even unconsciously.

If this ability were placed in Piltover, it would inevitably be feared and suspicious, and even ostracized in Demacia.

But in Noxus, being able to be watched in the heart can only show that you are not strong enough.

Since the strength is not enough, then there is nothing to say, which is also the idea of most Noxians.

In Ziben's mind, it was similar to what other Noxians thought.

He also knew that his thoughts couldn't be hidden from Seraphine from the beginning.

But it's one thing to know, it's one thing to acquiesce, and it's another thing to have an attitude toward him.

Seraphine blinked, looking Ziben up and down with interest.

This kind of very perspective gaze makes Ziben a little uncomfortable.

Ziben smiled dryly and said, "Teacher, if you want to control Bilgewater, the next step is the Blue Flame Islands and the Slaughter Docks." ”

Strictly speaking, the area around Bilgewater Bay, including Bilgewater Bay, is called the Blue Flame Islands.

But generally speaking, outsiders call the entire archipelago the Python Islands, which is the earliest name given to this sea by the Bajou people.

The Blue Flame Islands in Ziben's mouth are the main island of the Python Islands, and they are also the islands they passed by before, which are full of monuments left by the Bajou people.

At the same time, the sea beast priests who believed in Naga Capolos also lived on the island.

In addition to the Blue Flame Islands, the Slaughterhouse is an emerging port in the Anaconda Islands.

This area has been highly vulnerable to sea beasts since ancient times.

One of the horror legends of Bilgewater, the civilization in the story of the Tidal Sea Spirit, was destroyed by an attack with a swarm of tiger sharks.

However, as time slowly passes, the war between humans and sea beasts is even worse for humans after all.

The sea beasts around the Python Islands have been cleaned up, and there are even slaughtering docks dedicated to the slaughter and sale of sea beasts.

Every sea beast contains endless treasures. And those who hunt sea beasts are called sea hunters.

In the horror lore of Bilgewater, the ghost of Bloodport was once a sea hunter, and its name is also another name for the slaughterhouse.

Legend has it that the Ghost of Bloodport was the first to dismantle sea beasts at the slaughterhouse, which was the lowest level of work at the slaughterhouse. For the sake of more Golden Kraken, he chose to take risks and become a sea hunter.

It can be said that in addition to piracy, Bilgewater's most profitable business is the slaughterhouse.

This information had been well known to Seraphine and Z Ben before.

Seeing that Seraphine motioned for herself to continue, Ziben's heart was slightly relieved, and she began to speak:

"Teacher, in my plan, the Blue Flame Islands will rely on the Shadow Island, and the slaughter dock will rely on Captain Sarah's power."

"The Point Guard Is Here"

"Specifically, I'll help you think about what else is missing." Seraphine said flatly.

Hearing this, Ziben was overjoyed:

"Teacher, that's right..."

......

Above the sea, 5 iron ships sail fast on the sea.

The flags hung by the iron ships are all pirate flags of the pirate empress Sarah.

Inside the flagship of the leader, Sarah has just received a message from Stoby, and has been in deep thought for a long time.

"Captain, what's there to hesitate about!" Loka urged, "The slaughterhouse can generate profits of thousands of gold coins every day, and we have such a strong iron ship, we can take it and be done." ”

"If it were just Stoby's suggestion, I wouldn't have hesitated." Sarah rubbed her head in a headache.

"Isn't that what Stoby suggested?" Loka said confusedly.

The corners of Sarah's mouth twitched slightly, but she still explained, "Do you remember who told us to go to the slaughterhouse?" ”

"The Lord from the Empire." Locka said without thinking, "Stoka has always had a relationship with Noxus, and since this time it was the adult's intention, then we can also get rid of it." ”

Seeing that Sarah's face was even worse, Loka realized that something was wrong and said cautiously:

"Captain, is this a bad thing for us?"

"Nope." Sarah's face is darker.

Because there is no harm in making them more bound to the Empire, this is what makes her tricky.

It is true that the slaughterhouse makes a profit of more than 10,000 yuan a day, but as the origin of sea beasts, the value of sea beasts themselves is not high.

Selling these sea beasts all over the world is the biggest profit point for this transaction.

In the past, the slaughtering dock was mixed, and anyone could smuggle it to make a profit.

But if it was occupied by her and her men, she was sure that not a single fish would ever want to get out of the slaughterhouse without the permission of the Empire.

Although these negative effects are really not a big deal for her, who is already a pirate empress.

But once such a thing happens, it will undoubtedly be further and further away from her goal of wanting to break away from the control of the Empire. And this is what makes her most entangled.

After truly seeing the strength of the empire, she knew very well in her heart that the closer she got to the empire, the more she could avoid the end of being annexed.

Even her subordinates already take it for granted that it is a good thing that they obey the orders of the Empire.

Follow the empire and always get greater benefits ...

"Captain..."

Sarah frowned when she saw that Loka was about to speak and stopped:

"Something to say."

"Captain... I'll say something from my heart. "I don't think there's any point in thinking about it. ”

"How?" Sarah's face was slightly stunned, "If you have any ideas, just say it." ”

Seeing that Sarah was not angry, Loka spread her hands and said bluntly: "We are definitely not as deep as the captain thinks, but some simple truths are clear in Bilgewater's heart after a long time." ”

He paused, then continued, "The captain is a good man, and will listen to the opinions of us rough people. But in the past, we didn't dare to refuse what the captain said, and we were done. If we refuse, we will be dead in the sea the next day. ”

Hearing Loka's sincere words, the corners of Sarah's mouth pursed slightly.

Why didn't she know that...

Weakness is the original sin!

Suddenly, she seemed to recall the scene from a few years ago.

On that occasion, she met a man who was passing by Bilgewater on a boat.

It was also on that occasion that she saw for the first time the greatest power that a human being could grasp.

The sea is like a plaything in the palm of his hand.

It's easy to set off a 100-meter wave. Just a slight movement of the palm of the hand can form a waterspout that spreads to 100 meters.

Everything is so small in the face of the power of magic.

That man has now become the most honorable person in the world.

And she's just an ordinary mortal...

"Vision, do you feel the breadth of the world..."

Saramo held the twin guns left behind by her mother, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and whispered:

"Back then, I was shocked by your magic. Now, I'm being toyed with and applauded by your students. Perhaps, I'll let go of the unrealistic ideas for a moment. ”

She took a deep breath, her expression returned to her former confidence, and she turned straight to Loka and ordered:

"Pass the order, go full throttle, and solve the slaughterhouse as fast as possible."

"Yes! Captain! ”

Loka was overjoyed, straightened his waist, and hurriedly contacted the remaining four ships.

Above the sea, the tide was surging, and five iron ships were moving forward with the speed of the wind.

......

Ascension Tavern.

"Boss, this is a commission from the association."

Siloh hurried through the door and handed the power of attorney to Sivir.

Hearing the sound of 'ding' that only he could hear, Sivir quietly took the power of attorney and read it.

Their main goal these days is to grow the Ascension Tavern and make a name for themselves.

Originally, she was not very interested in the commission of the Explorers Guild.

But seeing the reward given by the 'Book of Ascension', she felt the need to do it.

If she can complete it, the reward will be enough for her to buy another Ascension.

Looking at the content of the call on the power of attorney, Sivir frowned slightly, and read out the key points:

"The monuments of Bajou..."

Lucian, who was next to him, heard these words and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"The Guild has discovered a new monument of Barjou?"

"I guess so." Sivir nodded, "The above is a commission for us to explore a Bajou monument in the Blue Flame Islands. ”

"The Blue Flame Islands are at the heart of Bajou's culture." After hesitating for a moment, Lucian still said, "I have some understanding of Bajou culture, and now is the critical time, so let me go for the head of the regiment." ”

Xavier put down the power of attorney in his hand, and did not rush to agree, but asked:

"How much do you know about exploring the ruins?"

This mission is very rewarding, and if Lucian can't give her a satisfactory answer, she will have to lead the team herself.

She and Silo have been hanging out in Shurima for many years, and the most they encounter there are ancient ruins.

While the ruins of Bajou are certainly different from those of the ancient Shurima, most of them have something in common.

Lucian understood this as well, and recounted several previous events of exploring the ruins of the Bajou.

During his years in Bilgewater, he was involved in many similar missions to make a living.

Since hearing the news that Shadow Isle had been repelled by Seraphine, he and Senna were not in such a hurry.

The sky is falling, and at least there are tall people who are on top first.

Their immediate priority should be to take advantage of this opportunity to increase their power.

And the Ascended Pirates and the leader of the group, Sivir, after this time together, they all agreed that this was a good springboard.

"Since you have experience, I'll leave it to you this time. If you go with Senna, I'm relieved. ”

Sivir thought about it, but handed the power of attorney to Lucian.

In terms of strength and intelligence, the combination of Lucian and Senna is enough to put her mind at ease.

As far as the current situation is concerned, she needs to deal with it even more on this side of Bilgewater Bay.

If this paper commission arrives a few days late, she will definitely not let it go. But now the requirement is to leave immediately, and it is really difficult for her to get out.

"Captain, leave it to me and Xena. Maybe you can find a lot of good treasures in the ruins. Lucian's face grimaced, and he took on the task.

After a few more words of conversation with Sivir, he also stood up, turned and went out to prepare.

Recently, Sivir will not leave the port, and he will take the Ascension and half of the crew to the Blue Flame Islands.

High up in Bilgewater Bay, Seraphine and Greed stand on the terrace.

Looking at the departing Ascension, Seraphine exhaled:

"Everything is ready."

"Teacher!" Seraphine had a relaxed look on her face, "I guess there's nothing missing from me." ”

Grad smiled: "The script has been written, the actors are all in place, and as for the final theater, it still depends on the performance of a few people." ”

"Is that so..."

Seraphine frowned slightly, knowing that her teacher must have calculated the ending.

She now counts everything she can use, and as for the final result, she can take it one step at a time.

"Strength..."

She sighed slightly, if he had the strength of a teacher, he would have killed Foyego a long time ago.

Just as the storm was rising in Bilgewater, the border of Acacia...

On the vast plains, the ethereal spirits let out a roar and rushed forward endlessly across the mountains.

In front of them, an elite Noxian soldier was wrapped in special armor made from materials made by the Academy using Void creatures.

It is precisely because of them that these elite soldiers can set foot on the battlefield of the void and not be corroded in a single face.

The soldiers waved their swords, spears and swords, and harvested the void spirit with expressionless faces, preventing it from advancing even an inch.

In front of the battle formation formed by the soldiers, the Void Armor behind Kaisha spat out a large number of energy bullets, sweeping the surrounding area into the air.

At the interval between the explosion of the energy bomb, a sharp dagger with a handle flew out, cutting the ethereal spirit into two parts.

Beside Kaisha, a grim-faced Caterina stepped on the dagger, clad in the general's battle armor, her cold eyes swept straight across the battlefield, looking for other high-level void creatures hidden in the void.

"Roar!"

A kilometer ahead, a tiger roar suddenly sounded.

From there, a black cyclone shot outward, and the swept ethereal spirit was directly torn apart.

And at the center of the sound, the majestic Delyus held a sharp axe, and as if tireless, he slashed at the deformed beast hundreds of meters high in front of him.

At this moment, his face was full of excitement and bloodlust.

But after a while, the Void Beast that could crush his own was beheaded by him with an axe, and his body fell to the ground with a bang.

In the face of such feats, he was a little unhappy.

It's just that a pseudo-void creature has been beheaded, and it's still far from true victory.

There are two kinds of void creatures, one is the runeland creatures that are corrupted by the void, called pseudo-void creatures by the empire, these creatures have void energy, and they will still die if they hit the vital point.

On the other hand, there are the void creatures bred by the Void Plane, they are extremely difficult to kill, and they are generally huge.

Thinking of the monster that Delyus had fought off with all his might, Caterina's face couldn't help but feel a trace of worry and unwillingness.

A void monster of that level is less than a demigod, and it doesn't even have the qualifications to participate in the battle.
