Ahri and Abigail's negotiation process was quick and easy.

Merchants pursue profits, even if the Fuqiong couple have a certain degree of integrity, but in the face of Ahri's rich conditions, Abigail is still shaken.

First of all, the family does not need to move away from Ross Island, the homeland they have lived in for a long time, and can continue to run their own business.

The Sentinels of Light do not interfere, or take a share, and even sponsor them to expand their workshops.

Secondly, the Sentinels of Light will provide protection for the Fuqiong family, they will no longer have to pay protection taxes to the local gangs, and they will no longer need to worry about being harassed by the ruffians, which is more secure than before.

In addition, if they agreed, Ahri promised to take Sarah to Demacia for an aristocratic education, or to Phi City to enter a higher institution of learning, under the tutelage of Heimerdinger, the rector of Piltover University and the great inventor Heimerdinger, who was also associated with the Sentinels of Light.

And the Fuqiongs only have to pay a small and insignificant price:

Ahri will provide them with a batch of Native Sacred Stones from Fuguang Island, and they will need to make them into Sacred Stone Firearms as soon as possible.

If the Sentinels find a new Stone in the ruins of Shadow Isle in the future, the Fuqiongs will need to craft new guns for them.

Of course, these Ahri will pay them at the market price.

However, although the Sentinel Organization has a good reputation and the Demacian Kingdom has a backdrop, this kind of major event that may be related to the future naturally cannot be decided rashly.

Abigail thought about it for a while, but decided to talk to her husband about it for a while.

However, they agreed to Ahri, and ordered a batch of sacred stone weapons for the Light Sentinels.

Half of the purpose is achieved temporarily, and there is no point in staying in the Fortification Workshop.

Before leaving, Josh made a point of inquiring about the big order that Fuqiong and his wife were about to deliver.

As Josh expected, the owner of the order was none other than Planck, the king of pirates, and there was only a little more than a month left before the delivery date agreed between Abigail and Planck.

Josh doesn't know if Planck, who became the king of pirates earlier than he originally did, will still be brazen and plan to loot the Fortune Workshop.

But this should be a good probability, because Planck is still brutal and brutal, and he did not pay a deposit for the Fortunes.

Out of consideration for danger in times of peace, Josh first warned Abigail to beware of Planck's backtracking.

After leaving the workshop, he also asked Ahri to send a sentry to keep an eye on the family, especially as the trade date approached.

The pirate's credibility was almost nil, and Ahri didn't trust Planck, so when he arrived at the port of Ross Island, he sent a sailor who was part of the Sentinel to the stronghold and inform the local Sentinel to protect the Fuqiong family.

……

……

The Sword Eagle rides the wind and waves.

For the time being, they have reached an agreement with the Fuqiong couple, and their next destination is the Shadow Island.

Ahri's dispatch of sentinels before his departure was not only to investigate the reason for the early arrival of the Night of the Eclipse.

Josh returned with the World Rune Fragments, and he was a high-end combat power that matched or even far surpassed Ryze, and the probability of success in solving the Ruined King was greatly increased.

The Sentinels of Light have been around for a thousand years, and Ahri believes that it is almost time to launch a counterattack against the Curse of Ruin.

Just fighting against the black fog with a mortal body, the casualties of the sentinels are inevitable.

Before launching a general attack, they will need to re-explore the potentially new danger areas of the Shadow Isle, so as to minimize the casualties of the sentinels.

The deck of the Sword Eagle.

Gwen excitedly gazed out at the tumbling ocean from the side of the boat, while Josh and Ahri stood at the bow of the boat talking.

Josh propped his hands on the boat and looked out at the sky, "Speaking of which, we've never been out on a boat together like this. ”

"Now there's a chance." Ahri played with a Siren coin in his hand and kept a nonchalant smile, "We still have a lot of things to do, wait until the ruined ...... are solved."

"Stop, stop talking, don't set up a flag!"

Josh didn't give Ahri a chance to finish speaking, and directly raised his palm and made a "stop" gesture.

Ahri was stunned for a moment, and her golden eyes flashed with doubt, "Fu...... What? ”

"Don't worry, it's something I've learned in the cracks of time...... Don't swear that you can do something before you do it, or it can easily have the opposite effect. ”

[Huh? How did I not know there was such a thing? Runicia is equally confused.

"How many times have I said it, there are so many things you don't know." Josh responded.

[Cut, pretend. 】

Reality, Ahri tilted his head, "Weird...... What happened to you in the gap between time? ”

She paused, grabbed the gold coin tumbling between her fingers in one hand, and leaned closer to Josh, her golden eyes full of scrutiny.

"I've told you my story, why didn't you tell me?"

Josh reluctantly scratches Ahri's Joan's nose, causing her to pout in displeasure.

Ahri pinched Josh's waist and pulled a little distance to warn, "I said, don't mess around outside, are you really taking my words as a deaf ear?" I'm not ...... back then."

Josh didn't care, and grabbed Ahri by the shoulder, took her in his arms, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

After a few symbolic struggles, Ahri softened, hammered Josh's chest, and complained:

"You bastard, there's someone else watching here! Do you want my image to collapse and lose face after so long? ”

"There are no other sentinels on the Sword Eagle, do these sailors dare to talk nonsense?"

"It's because I'm a sailor that I dare to talk nonsense!"

The Eagles were about to leave the waters of Bilgewater, but Ahri broke free of his embrace, the gold coin in his palm resting on his thumb.

Then, with a flick of the finger, the golden Siren coin fell into the ocean in an arc.

This is the tithe paid to the bearded lady, and every captain who goes to sea must do the big thing in the waters off Piraeus.

This has its origins in one of the four legends of Bilgewater, Notilus.

It is said that Naga Kapoulos would punish captains who were too greedy to pay tribute to the vast expanse of the sea, so he sent the Abyssal Titans.

Although the Bajou would pay tithes to the sea when they went to sea, they never personally acknowledged that Notilus was a messenger sent by Naga Kapoulos.

Like another of the four horror legends of Bilgewater, Lady Beard resurrects the ghost of Bloodhaven, lurking in the shadows of the shadows, ready to kill the treacherous captain or sailor.

It doesn't make any sense whether these terrifying monsters exist or not.

But the fact that they were the "messengers" of Naga Kapoulos was only a fabrication of the Bilgewater and an insult to the bearded lady.

The Baru people don't care what those "little pink faces" think, they only teach those fools who dare to speak out to their faces.

But Eloi is different.

She had already made a statement a few years ago that if she saw the ghost of Bloodport committing murder, she would definitely summon the power of Naga Kapoulos to purify this water ghost.

As for the Deep Sea Titans......

Anyway, the captains' offerings to the sea are basically equivalent to offerings to the bearded lady, which is exactly in line with Bajou's philosophy, and Aloy has no intention of targeting Notilus.

Gazing at the gold coins being quickly engulfed by the tumbling waves, Ahri thought Josh didn't understand what he was trying to do, and quickly explained the tithes and the legends of the Deep Titans.

Then, she turned her eyes to look at Josh and returned to the topic: "By the way, were you just avoiding my question?" ”

"I thought, you haven't given me a chance to say it in the past three days......" Josh felt even more helpless, "I talked to you about me today, but you didn't let me finish." ”

"Really?" Ahri recalled the almost non-stop asking and madness in the past three days, and her fair cheeks were slightly hot, "Hmm...... It seems to be true. ”

She cooled her face with the back of her slightly cool hand, "Okay, okay, it's my problem...... But now that we're still a short sea journey away from the Isle of Shadows, and we have time, tell me about what happened to you. ”

At this point, Gwen, who was watching from the side of the boat, returned to Josh and Ahri, "Are you going to tell a story?" I'm going to hear it too! ”

"Oh~~ I almost forgot, and Gwen." Ahri smiled at Gwen with a questioning face, "I'd like to hear more about you, too." ”

……

……

The Eagles is a fast ship that travels from Bilgewater to the edge of the Isle of Shadows in less than half a day.

However, Ahri plans to go to Helia, and it will take several hours to sail.

Late at night, the already dark and terrifying black fog was even more terrifying against the background of the vast darkness.

The Sword Eagle stayed offshore, not deep into the black fog, lest it be scuttled through the bottom of the ship by the fog walkers who were submerged in the tide.

The captain and the sailors put on sacred stone necklaces for protection and lowered a small sailboat.

Three sailors act as paddlers and send Josh, Ahri, and Gwen to the coast.

The sentinels had already set up makeshift camps on the edge of what was once a ship harbour.

Seeing the leader in person, many of the already nervous sentinels were overjoyed.

Ahri nodded to them one by one, and then entered the camp.

Levi, the head of the Bildgwater Sentinel Sanctuary, was sitting around the table with several other female sentinels, talking about something.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the three approaching, and Levi raised his face and greeted them, "Chief, Grandmaster Russell, Miss Gwen." ”

Ahri was not polite, and walked directly to the table, looking down at the unfolded map, "How's the situation?" ”

Thank you for the 1,000 coin reward from the bread man who loves salted fish!
