When Lux left the Butcher's Bridge, she and Kalya were silent.
When she came, she brought more than 70 gold sirens (totaling more than 700 silver snake coins), and enchanted these gold coins. She planned to catch a fish and find out where Gangplank's treasure house was, and wait until Gangplank was finished.
time to carry out the reckoning of justice.
But what I didn't expect was that Gangplank was thinking of getting involved in the Ionian trade. He didn't charge her for the ship's mark at all, but instead loaned her a sum of money...
As a result, the more than 70 golden sea monsters in Lux's hand were not spent - even when leaving the Butcher's Bridge, the more than 70 golden sea monsters directly turned into more than 200 golden sea monsters.
According to Gangplank, Ionia Trade Lux can go ahead and do it!
But the problem is... Lux is not here to engage in trade at all!
She went to see Planck, just hoping to get to know this scourge of the ocean face to face.
As a result, they did meet, and even saw the other's divine power through a brief confrontation - but judging from the result, this meeting was obviously not what Lux and Kalya had planned.
"What should we do next?" Lux whispered, "Glank has seen it, but it seems to be completely different from what we planned."
"Yeah, it's completely different." Kalya was also shocked by the other party's pirate-like business strategy. "To be honest, I originally thought I could see a cruel and ruthless maritime lord, but who could have imagined that this would happen?"
Mr. Captain actually has such a side...cunning, really cunning."
"Yes, cunning." Lux nodded, agreeing with Kalya's statement, "He has a very good idea, sitting on the ground to collect money, but in this case, Ionia Trade needs to keep paying him the ship mark fee.
I don’t think it will really flourish.”
"This is the chaos and reaction of the pirates themselves." Kalya couldn't help but sigh, "You also feel his magical power. How about it? Isn't it amazing?"
"It's amazing. It's completely different from the power I gained in Zaun." When talking about this topic, Lux couldn't help but shook her head, "I always feel like something is wrong."
"Of course something is wrong." Kalya smiled and said, "Let's go. We have met Gangplank and confirmed that he is indeed affected by divine power. We should go to meet the next target."
"Go back to see Sarah?"
"No, I am going to meet the priest of the master of divine power." Kalya said in a tone full of expectation, "That is a true god - even a person like me who is not interested in gods will know how to do it."
The kind that respects Him."
"It's so rare that you actually have respect for gods." Lux, who knew Kalya's attitude towards gods, couldn't help complaining, "Could the god you are talking about be the snake mother?"
"The answer is correct, but there is no reward." Kalya said in a pleasant tone, "Compared to popular names such as Snake Mother or Bearded Lady, which are passed down by rumors, I prefer to call him by his divine name - Naga Kapoulos."
"Naga Kapoulos, it's such a difficult name to pronounce." Lux blinked, "Does this god's name have any special meaning?"
"The endless monster that drives the sky and the sea." Kalya explained, "Unlike the gods that people usually think of, the existence of the snake mother is not a real entity, but a special... concept."
"Concept?" Such an abstract explanation made Lux confused, "What does this mean?"
"Naga Kapoulos's motto itself has obvious philosophical meaning. According to my personal summary, it is roughly...all existences in the universe have their own desires and pursue their own desires, and the universe is also
Move forward in this pursuit.”
"It does sound reasonable." Lux was quite surprised. "To be honest, I always thought that snake mother worship was just primitive and powerful worship..."
"This is the greatness of Nagakapoulos. She is never limited to form. People who believe in this concept and philosophical approach are her most devout believers." Kalya said in an incomprehensible tone, "For divine power and
As far as gods are concerned, Naga Kapoulos is a good reference."
"Reference?" Lux quickly realized the meaning behind Kalya's words, "You mean, I want to develop in this direction?"
"That's right, separate the theory from you as a person." Kalya finally explained his purpose, "Recognize yourself clearly and reject personal worship. The gods of Runeterra exist objectively, so let your ideal become that god.
"
"...I probably understand a little bit, but it's still a bit too abstract." Lux rubbed her temples with a headache, "So, we're going to go to the temple next?"
"That's right." Kalya said eagerly, "Let's go, let's listen to Nagakapoulos' true meaning!"
……………………
Although it is located in Bilgewater, where sewage flows, the temple of Nagakapoulos is surprisingly clean and tidy.
Low-level priests were coming and going, some were sweeping the courtyard, and some were calling for the holy snake. At first glance, they seemed no different from other religious organizations.
Lux entered the temple openly.
The appearance of the unfamiliar face surprised the priests present - although the pirates of Bilgewater would always call them snake mothers, the priests actually knew that this kind of respect they talked about was actually more of fear.
The most direct point is that in their free time, almost no one comes to the temple to listen to the priests explaining the true meaning of the Snake Mother.
"Outsiders, do you want to listen to Nagakapoulos' teachings?" A priest put down the bucket and rag in his hand and took the initiative to greet him. "Today is not a missionary day. Listen to the true meaning in the side hall."
"Eternal life, we are the movers." Lux replied in a low voice according to Kalya's words, "I'm here to find Ms. Illaoi."
Hearing that Lux was looking for Illaoi, the other party was obviously a little surprised. The priest looked at Lux up and down and confirmed that he had indeed not seen her before.
He is obviously a strange outsider, but when he opens his mouth, it is one of the twenty mottos of Nagakapoulos: "We are the ones who move throughout our lives."...
After thinking for a moment, the other party finally nodded to indicate that he understood, and then turned around and entered the temple hall.
After a while, the door of the hall was opened, and a tall body walked out.
This is a typical Baru person. She has green eyes like a sea snake and quite exaggerated muscles and figure - it is no exaggeration to say that she is the tallest person Lux has ever seen.
She is obviously a woman, but Illaoi is even half a head taller than Lux's father, Peter, and Fandral!
In terms of appearance, she seemed to be similar to other priests, but for some reason, Lux's eyes were firmly attracted when she appeared.
She is not good-looking, or in other words, she does not conform to worldly aesthetics.
But an indescribable charm filled her whole body, making it impossible for people to look away.
When he walked out of the temple, Illaoi was holding a stone statue with flowing divine power in his right hand, and stuffing a fully ripe, peeled mango into his mouth with his left hand.
Then, while chewing the mango pulp, she scanned the entire courtyard with her majestic gaze, and finally locked onto Lux in a cloak.
"I am Illaoi."
She carried the stone statue on her shoulders and spat out the mango core in her mouth - the flat core swirled in the air in an arc and fell into the trash can.
