In an ordinary tavern in the upper town of Bilgewater, three famous pirates from Bilgewater gathered together. They were Captain Lao Feng, Sir Petyr Harker and Crow.
In the current Bilgewater, they are recognized by the chaotic pirates as the three people who stand up to Miss Fortune, and they are also the main force that has recently besieged Miss Fortune.
Because of Ji Xing's reward, the three of them sat together again since the last time they jointly assassinated Miss Fortune. However, after exchanging attitudes, they got a result that puzzled them... Who could it be?
Captain Crow is a pervert who likes to torture, and his expression is particularly gloomy. After scanning the two of them with his fierce eyes, he said sinisterly: "Hunting Miss Fortune alone can indeed bring a lot of fame, but
That girl is not a simple thing, don't let her capsize in the gutter."
"You don't need to remind me of this."
Captain Laochui is the eldest, a pirate a generation older than Gangplank. He has gradually faded out of the public eye in recent years, but no one can ignore his right to speak.
"Since we say no, it means there really isn't." He put his hands on the table and said calmly: "Then I think you two have already sent people to the vicinity of the Bauhinia Hotel, right? Don't worry, I
I hope we will know who 'Roger' is in the near future."
Petyr Harker has a relatively handsome appearance, as he is called 'Sir'. Before he failed in the power struggle and fled to Bilgewater, he was a noble and his behavior was quite aristocratic.
He calmly picked up the wine and took a sip, then smiled and said: "You two, don't just focus on Miss Fortune and each other. There are countless overestimating guys staring at Bilgewater right now.
Our location.
So I hope to get another personal confirmation from both of you that before killing Miss Fortune, we must not create any obstacles for each other. As long as the three of us sincerely join forces, we can calmly deal with any trouble, right?"
"...Hmph, Bilgewater will eventually be the world for you young people. I have to admit that I was a little suspicious after suddenly hearing about the bounty in the early morning." Captain Lao Chui sighed with emotion.
The crow lowered his eyes, like a butcher about to use the knife: "Of course, if he causes trouble to each other regardless of the severity at this time, then we will fight to the death and kill him together!"
Petyr Harker smiled with satisfaction and leaned back on the chair. It seemed that these two guys were not causing trouble, so Miss Fortune would definitely not be able to escape from our grasp.
At this moment, his trusted subordinates suddenly rushed in outside the tavern and said: "Sir Huck! The guy waiting outside the Redbud Inn has received an invitation letter from Miss Fortune!"
What? All three of them looked strange. Huck thought for a moment and suddenly smiled and said: "It's not bad luck, but it's also a reward. We thought we were starting to pay no attention to the cost. I couldn't hold it anymore, so I took the initiative to send a letter to tell you."
Shall we beg for mercy and negotiate?"
Captain Lao Chui chuckled, and the crow also laughed hoarsely: "Ha, it's really possible. Let's take a look at that girl's letter begging for mercy!"
The three of them unfolded the letter on the table and read it together... There wasn't much to read, because there were only two sentences in the letter, one thing.
This also made the three of them change their minds. Huck even jumped up from his chair: "Mrs. Piltover? What are you trying to do? Is it going to affect Bilgewater's autonomy?!"
Captain Lao Chui and Crow glanced at him.
I just praised the young man, but I hummed to myself that the young man is still not calm enough. He was just pretending to be confident before. This letter clearly only said that he wanted to meet with them to discuss the sale of universal capsules. What are they afraid of?
But I have to say that he actually trembled in his heart. Since Planck died and the Abyss was captured, Piltover, their main source of wealth, has almost become a forbidden name.
The pirates regarded the main force that killed Gangplank as Miss Fortune and omitted the existence of Piltover in a self-anesthetizing manner. However, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Miss Fortune did not have that strength. The only one who could really destroy Gangplank was the one who was rumored to be there.
Countless versions of Philos's 'secret weapon'!
Pirates who are fearless will also be in awe of the unknown and unwilling to think about the worst future.
Seeing that Huck was too confused to negotiate, he could only look at Crow and said: "The people of Piltover want to establish a stable universal capsule trade route here. We have no reason to stop them, but they are not allowed to enter Bilgewater."
It shouldn’t be just us, we are all believers of the Snake Mother.”
The crow understood instantly: "Let me send someone to his temple and ask the priest to come over."
…
Two hours later, Ji Xing and Sarah followed several pirates who were watching outside the Redbud Hotel and walked into the tavern. They were greeted by the warm smiling faces of the three pirate captains.
"Welcome to Bilgewater, distinguished guest from House Piltover Ferroth."
As for Miss Fortune, they just nodded symbolically. After all, they were fighting life and death a few days ago. If they suddenly changed their attitude, wouldn't it seem like they were too soft?
Sarah laughed: "Don't you three need me to hand over your weapons this time?"
There was a hint of irony in her words, because in the last four-person meeting, the three people facing each other used the excuse of "worrying that each other would violently kill each other" and took away their weapons, including her double guns, before the meeting. This also made her
I suffered a big loss due to lack of precautions.
"Haha, we believe that Miss Fortune will consider the safety of this Piltover guest even if she wants to take out a gun and kill us immediately."
Lao Chui gave a gentle rebuttal and explained to Ji Xing: "Of course, this is not a threat to you. We have no reason not to welcome guests who will bring us wealth."
Huck has adjusted his mentality and is quietly observing Ji Xing. The first impression is that he is young. I am afraid he may not be 20 years old. The second impression is that he has outstanding temperament... Is he a direct descendant of Feros?
The crow also asked thoughtfully: "Dear guest, your real name is...Roger Fellows?"
"No, I'm Sevier." Ji Xing smiled and said: "Doom introduced you to me, Lao Biao, Huck and Crow, right?"
...Sevier?
The three of them were startled, and their expressions changed dramatically.
Sevier who invented the universal capsule? Sevier who, together with Doom and Doom's lieutenant Raven, destroyed Planck's Abyss?!
Then does he have a secret weapon with Feros? What does it mean that Feros directly sent this guy to Bilgewater?!
'Please sit down, please, and wait for the priests from the Snake Mother Temple to arrive. Let's discuss the omnipotent capsule together. Those desperate guys can only be suppressed by moving out the Snake Mother, and we can't do it together.'
This was the speech that the three people had originally prepared, but at this moment they were suppressed in their throats.
The Snake Mother is just a legend. Although it is generally true, it has never shown any miracles. Even the temple was only built by Illaoi's fanatical believer in the past twenty years. It is the real number one in Bilgewater.
The power is correct, but to say how strong it is is exaggerated.
Having directly brought Sevier to Bilgewater, Feros definitely has big plans and even plans to use bad luck to control Bilgewater?!
Plans must change.
But... war or peace?
No, there is no need to consider this at all. Bilgewater can only be controlled by us. No matter how strong Feros is, he is still an outsider after all! If you want to surrender to others, it is better to choose Noxus!
With such thoughts turning their heads, they heard Ji Xing say: "In business negotiations, I would like to talk to the three captains individually first to hear about the establishment of universal capsule stores on your respective sites, or the sale of universal capsules.
If I contract the capsule to you, how much profit does Philos need to make?"
Separately... talk alone?
Are you still talking about selling universal capsules?
This was once again beyond the expectations of the three of them, and they were caught off guard and had no time to discuss.
Their hearts were in doubt. If they disagreed, would this guy see our intention to resist? If they agreed, would the other two guys have other ideas?
Damn it, this is a conspiracy!
"Let's talk separately or forget it."
"Of course, the distinguished guest has the final say."
When these two sentences echoed together in the tavern, the atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff.
Crow, who didn't agree to talk separately, and Sir Harker, who agreed to talk separately, looked at each other, their eyes uncertain. Lao Chui, who didn't express his position, looked at them and shook his head: "Then let's talk separately."
When opinions conflict, the point of talking together is zero.
He suddenly lost interest. Was he getting old after all? He was looking forward and backward. If it were thirty years ago, would I have been able to draw out my gun and kill Sevier and Doom without hesitation? I should be able to, right?
Sarah found an empty wine glass from somewhere and poured herself a glass. She didn't drink it, but just stared at the reflection on the glass in trance, as if what happened here had nothing to do with her.
Soon, after sorting out the order, Captain Lao Chui and Ji Xing went to the private room next door first, while Huck and Crow both looked a little strange.
In the private room next door, Ji Xing asked: "Captain Lao Chui, can you tell me your conditions first?"
Lao Chui was silent for a while and sighed: "I want to spend my old age peacefully. It would be better if several of my children can join Feros."
"Huh?" Ji Xing pretended to be surprised.
The old blower shook his head and said: "Since Mr. Sevier dares to come to Bilgewater alone, it means that Feros has the confidence to treat the Bilgewater pirates as nothing. No matter what Hex technology or secret weapons,
Your goal is by no means to sell universal capsules, and there is no need to trouble you to go there in person for that kind of thing.
Pirates are not an easy business. After Piltover merchant ships no longer dare to rob casually, Bilgewater's pirate business will probably decline sharply. As long as it can be properly resettled, Mr. Sevier can personally make a promise.
I can do anything with Philos, including killing Sir Harker and Captain Crow."
Ji Xing smiled: "Captain Lao Chui probably thinks too much... Well, since you said so, let's talk about it as you said."
A genuine smile appeared on Lao Chui's face.
A few minutes later, the old man who came out of the next room could not see anything strange in his expression, and said to Huck and Crow: "The Philos family is still very sincere. Sir Huck, it's your turn to go over and talk to Mr. Sevier."
Now, remember what you said before, we should strive for the best interests and not secretly create any obstacles for each other."
After saying that, he turned around and smiled apologetically at Ji Xing, showing no signs of surrender.
Huck didn't recognize it either, he just nodded a little heavily and walked into the private room.
When the door closed, the first question he asked was: "Mr. Sewell, I wonder what your relationship is with Miss Fortune?"
"Hmm...a partner who we have worked with once?"
"Miss Fortune is the most beautiful and dangerous female pirate on the island. She is a rose with thorns. Don't you have any ideas about conquering her?"
Ji Xing smiled: "No. We are talking about the universal capsule, Sir Huck."
"I have." Huck said, "This is one thing, Mr. Sewell. If Sarah is willing to marry me, I am willing to hand over most of my power to her and be her adjutant. When the time comes, Philos
The family can also borrow the power of both of us to completely control Bilgewater!"
Ji Xing was surprised, seemed a little moved, and hesitated: "I have to ask her about this..."
Huck showed a confident smile: "Our age and status are very suitable. She should have no reason and cannot refuse Philos' reasonable arrangement, right? As long as you agree."
He determined that Miss Fortune was already 'Philoth's lackey', and dogs must obey their masters!
Ji Xing agreed casually and chatted with him for a few more minutes before switching to Captain Crow.
The fierce butcher faced Ji Xing and pondered for a long time. Finally, he let out a long sigh: "You won. I can't trust those two guys. They must have betrayed each other and me. Your strategy is simple and effective. I can't believe it."
Ross's power easily divided us.
As the last person to come in, I probably have no choice. I can take people out of Bilgewater and never come back."
Gudong——Gudong——
In front of the square table in the tavern, Sarah filled up her wine glass and laughed. The boss and Huck across from her gave her a puzzled look.
They didn't know or notice that there was a gust of wind connecting the private room to her ears, allowing her to clearly hear the conversation inside.
They also didn't know about Ji Xing's conversation with her at the Redbud Inn.
'Since there are still two days left, would you like me to help you solve some troubles?'
'Those pirates? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can kill them myself. You, the great mage, can help me survive the soul-eating night, and I don't know how to repay you.'
'Then why does it seem like you are being hunted and hiding everywhere? You have to go out in disguise when you come to see me?'
'Haha, you don't understand pirates. These things are like bamboo shoots springing up after a rain. If you cut some, some will pop up, and you will never be able to kill them all. Although three guys plotted against me, I still plan to give them a
Chances are, Bilgewater doesn't need a single tyrant. That would be following Gangplank's old path, which is too boring.'
'You plan to fight until they agree to rule Bilgewater with you, and there will be restrictions and restrictions on each other? Are you so unsure of yourself?'
'Yeah, I don't have full confidence to guarantee that I won't change after I stand in that position. If I become someone I hate, like Planck... then it would be really annoying.'
"What are you afraid of? I'll help you up. Don't you have me to restrain you?"
'Then I'm even more afraid. Sevier... Ferros, or you, don't have any plans to take charge of Bilgewater, right?'
'The Gray Lady has it, but I persuaded her to stop it. Feros doesn't have that many manpower, and Bilgewater doesn't have the conditions to build another Piltover. It's a waste of effort.'
'Hahaha, that's good. If you say you want to take charge of my city, I really don't know what to do. Well, even if you are overestimating your capabilities, I might have to shoot you? That kind of thing
Just don't happen.'
'You have a strong sense of belonging to Bilgewater... Well, I suddenly had an idea. If the three pirates you want to rule with know that Ferros wants to control Bilgewater,
, how will they react?'
'Them? Hahaha, they will be like me. Sea pirates who are used to freedom will not succumb to power!'
His confident voice still echoed in his ears, but was replaced by a louder slap.
One surrenders in exchange for his children to clear his name, and the other surrenders in exchange for marrying me? The last one still has some ambition, but he also shows that he will not resist and takes the person away.
No one is willing to fight for Bilgewater! Today is just a false test. If one day, a foreign enemy really attacks, I will join these three guys... Haha.
No wonder Gangplank has been able to occupy the position of Pirate King for so many years.
These people are really worse than him!
When the door to the private room opened again, Miss Fortune suddenly stood up, pulled out her gun and shot her repeatedly.
Unable to imagine what she and Ji Xing were really testing and what they wanted, both Huck and Crow were shot in the forehead, and fell to the ground dead with disbelief and ferocious reluctance!
Ten minutes later.
Rivers of blood flowed inside and outside the tavern.
Ji Xing did not take action, but just watched as Miss Fortune killed seventy or eighty people in a row, and wiped out most of the core confidants of the three captains by herself!
As she said, she is capable enough to take care of these three people on her own!
And maybe she couldn't do it an hour ago, but she seemed to have a special change at this moment.
After wiping the blood on her cheek, Sarah looked at Ji Xing, smiled and said: "There is no other way, it seems I have to believe in myself more."
