Legends of Runeterra

Bilgewater, the famous pirate city in Runeterra.

In fact, it is the only place in the Python Islands where outsiders are allowed to land.

The people who truly rule or own this archipelago are the indigenous people called "Baru".

The reason why this group of indigenous people can face the endless influx of wanted criminals, ambitious people, perverted murderers and other cruel people and still stay in Port Birmingham is all because of the majesty of that god.

Nagakabouros.

In the legends of the people of Bilgewater, it was an enormous sea monster with tentacles coiled around its head and neck, swimming back and forth endlessly.

People also call it the Snake Mother, the Leviathan, or the Bearded Lady.

It was once regarded by the designers who created related heroes as the 'Supreme Sport' itself.

Of course, in Li En's opinion, this was probably just the designer's habitual talk on his personal account.

Apart from anything else, if Nagakabouros really is a god who represents the concept of "movement", she would be able to deal with the "Soul-Eating Night" launched by the Shadow Isles - an existence that seriously violates the will of God, yet she can attack the Serpentine Islands again and again.

When Li En saw this pattern for the first time, he had a very familiar sense of déjà vu.

'Heaven' and 'Hell'.

Obey the teachings and go to heaven.

Those who violate the doctrine will be dragged into hell by the devil.

This set of things can be analogized to the layout of the Serpentine Islands and Bilgewater.

The so-called pirate city is probably just a "prop" used by Nagakabouros to scare others.

Every time the 'Hallowing Night' strikes, seeing the pirates of Bilgewater suffer heavy casualties, it is no surprise that the Baru people who accept shelter and live in peace will become more devout in their belief in the 'Snake Mother'.

This method of controlling believers is indeed sophisticated, but it was also revealed to Li En indirectly.

Nagakabouros, her strength is limited.

At least this god is not absolutely sure that he can solve the problem of Shadow Island, so he has to resort to such means.

The reason why Li En did not deal with the scumbag Planck before was that he did not have enough people under his command. If he killed one "Planck", there would still be "Olank" and "Frank".

On the other hand, this scumbag has a lingering love with the contemporary "Truth One" (actually the honorific title of the God's agent in the mouth of the Baru) Ornn.

As the first 'truth' to leave the Golden Temple of Baru and step into the sewage-filled Bilgewater, it is hard to say that this old lover may have played a role in this.

Taking action against Gangplank will inevitably attract Illaoi, which has been confirmed by Sarah in the original timeline.

At that time, they will inevitably face this god who likes to impose "trials" on humans they like.

The so-called "trial" means complete annihilation for the loser.

The surviving subject is no better; he or she will be forever changed and will wholeheartedly pursue his or her true destiny.

From this, we can boldly guess that even people who have successfully passed the test may not always be the same as they once were.

This is also the reason why Li En set out for Bilgewater after he had acquired his current strength.

"Wow~!"

The waves hit the hull and the oncoming breeze interrupted Li En's thoughts.

"Is it already this time?"

Li En stood up and walked out of the exclusive cabin.

"Good day, Lord Li En!"

"Ah."

Nodding to the saluting guard, Li En came onto the deck.

As agreed with Gwen, after spending three days to arrange everything, Li En boarded the ship and set off for Bilgewater.

Moreover, before leaving, the bond values ​​of several bond targets also reached the standard value and obtained new bond talents.

-----------------

Mechanical Glory (from Victor): Greatly increases the speed of learning mechanical knowledge, and as knowledge accumulates, it will occasionally form "flash of inspiration".

Blood Hunt (from Fandel): After obtaining the target's blood, tissue, or energy, consume magic power to lock onto the target. The consumption increases with distance, strength, and the target's hiding space.

Static Frenzy (from Zelie): Builds up electricity as the host moves.

-----------------

The first two are developmental talents and auxiliary talents respectively. Li En ignored them for the time being. What really concerned him was the bond talent [Static Electricity Frenzy] from Zeli.

The moment he got it, Li En's hair stood on end when he saw the accumulated electricity.

Things start to get tricky when he gets to the bottom of this awkward situation and takes control.

Few words but great meaning. Li En discovered that so-called "exercise" is not just walking, breathing, or even the beating of the heart.

Even cells that perform movements that are invisible to the naked eye accumulate tiny amounts of electricity.

With countless fantasy works from his previous life as his inspiration, Li En immediately thought of the seemingly scientific but actually idealistic force - electric current!

However, Li En, who couldn't wait to try it out, failed as expected.

Of course, to say it was a failure is not actually a complete failure.

After repeated attempts, Li En was able to drive some cells to generate electricity actively.

Although it was only as much as a hair, it was indeed done.

Since then, Li En has been exercising every moment, and even when he sleeps he just closes his eyes and tries to control more cells.

He walked all the way from the deck to the bow, looking towards the empty space.

In Li En's vision, Gwen, with a faint "holy mist" lingering around her, was quietly gazing into the distance.

"Li En, you're here."

"Well, Gwen, how was your first time on a boat?"

"It's very interesting, it sways and flutters like a baby cradle."

"Haha~! Interesting description."

Standing next to Gwen, Li En looked in the direction she was looking.

"Have you sensed the appearance of 'black fog' recently?"

"Not yet. I haven't sensed anything since the day you, Li En, melted away that large area of ​​'black fog'."

"Is that so? Perhaps the 'Haunting Night' in Port is approaching, and the black fog is gathering strength."

"Well, it's very possible. But don't worry, Li En. I will definitely destroy all the invading undead in 'Soul-Eating Night'!"

"Haha~! You don't have to work so hard. There are more scumbags than Hong Kong. If you kill every other one, there will always be some that slip through the net.

Gwen, you have to be careful then, there are more than just low-level undead in the black fog."

"Yeah, I understand, Lee En."

Gwen nodded, her delicate face full of seriousness.

She felt that she was very lucky. Not only did she gain a body that could move freely like humans, but when she was about to face the black fog from which there was no return alone, she met Li En, a powerful, wise, and extremely kind "king" who helped her.

The two stood quietly at the bow, enjoying the gentle sea breeze under the clear sunshine.

As a favored person of Janna, Li En feels so comfortable when going out to sea.

Under the gaze of the two people at the bow, a shabby and old ship slowly approached.
