Legends of Runeterra

"Brother Raven, walk slowly!"

“Crack~!”

As the door closed and he listened to Raven's footsteps fading away, Graves could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly want to join someone else's army? "

"What do you mean by others? That's Lord Li En. Graves, don't make a habit of letting things slip!"

"Fuck you, it's fine if you join, but you drag me into this, I..."

"Do you think I'm harming you? After ten years in prison, do you still think this era is like the past?

With the fall of Gangplank, you can tell from the recent actions in the city that the pirates will definitely be replaced step by step in the future.

Why do you think Raven suddenly mentioned the name of the Naga Shipping Company? Do you think he is just being idle?"

Faced with Trist's series of words, Graves was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips in disdain.

"Tsk, then why don't I just stay here and go somewhere else!"

“Somewhere else?

Shurima? Even the legendary "Ascended Ones" have appeared in that desert recently.

Twin Cities? The latest rifles can destroy both the bunker and you with one shot.

Ionia? Not to mention whether they can get gold, the Noxian army was crushed by them!"

"I..."

Graves' momentum gradually weakened.

"Times have changed, Graves. Now is not the time to just rely on my card magic and your shotgun to plunder gold coins at will."

Drizzt sat down next to him and patted his old friend on the shoulder.

"Gangplank, the Pirate King of Bilgewater, is quite impressive!

As a result, when Lord Li En arrived, even the body had not been found, and now the wreckage of the Mingyuan was still piled on the reef.

The Snake Mother Cult, which had ignored Bilgewater for thousands of years, is now cooperating with Sarah to manage Bilgewater."

"Well...then why do you think we joined Lord Li En? Now I feel unhappy in everything I do!"

"Haha~! I told you, times have changed. To make it in the world now, you need not only the ability but also the background.

Otherwise, you will end up like Planck, dying without leaving any trace!

Do you think Lord Li En is the kind of person who has no vision?"

"Of course not. He can even treat me, who offended him before and is not in the mission contract. Lord Li En is really good!"

"That's it, he's not only powerful but also kind and benevolent. Why should we hesitate?

Compared to the protection you can get after joining us, the rules that Lei Wen just mentioned are just insignificant restrictions. "

"Uh...hiss~! That makes some sense~!"

"Hmph! Who do you think I am!"

"Okay, it's just a matter of surrendering, I'll do it!"

"In that case, I'll take 70% of the reward this time!"

"Fuck you, didn't we agree on a 50-50 split?"

...

At the dinner table that night, Lee En, Sarah and Gwen sat together, and the table was filled with various dishes made from sea fish.

"It looks like you guys have had a good harvest today!"

"Hey~! Sarah, please try it. If you like it, I'll go catch some more tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll try it."

Under Gwen's expectant gaze, Sarah picked one at random and savored it carefully.

“Mmm, it tastes delicious!”

"Really? Great, try some of these, Sarah!"

Facing the enthusiastic Gwen, Sarah tasted several dishes in succession and then looked at Li En curiously.

"Leon, these dishes all use the fish Gwen caught, right? Which ones did you catch?"

"Well...I..."

"Li En's fishing rod was accidentally broken by a big fish today, and I went to deal with it later, so unfortunately, there is no fishing tonight."

"The fishing rod is broken!?"

Sarah was slightly stunned, but she quickly reacted.

As a Bilgewater native, she knew very well what kind of fish there were in different seas.

It is not impossible to find fishing rods in the harbor today that can break the fishing rods used by Li En and the others, but they are extremely rare.

With an intriguing smile, Sarah looked at Li En.

"Dear, is that really the case?"

"Uh...yeah, that's it."

"Okay, then ask them to get you a better fishing rod, and make sure you catch that fish tomorrow~!"

"I may not have time tomorrow. I have something else to do."

"It's okay, leave it to me, I will definitely help Li En get revenge~!"

Facing Sarah's meaningful gaze, the three of them ended their dinner.

After everyone went back to their rooms to rest, Sarah deeply realized her mistake.

...

"Bang~!"

The fan door of the tavern was pushed open roughly. The intruder pushed with such force that the fan door took a long time to rebound. It was obvious that the connecting parts were damaged.

Such arrogant behavior naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the sailors in the tavern, but when they turned their eyes to the newcomer, they immediately pretended nothing had happened and continued to drink and brag.

"Damn it, I don't want to stay in this damn place for even one more day!"

Scratching his lion-like lush beard, Olaf came to the bar with an annoyed look on his face and cursing.

"Bang~!"

A slap on the bar.

"Give me the strongest drink, triple the alcohol, and fill it with ice!"

"Good...good guest!"

The bartender stuttered a little, but his body was busy as fast as possible.

The sailor who was waiting for wine on the side didn't dare to say anything when he saw this.

"Your wine is ready."

"Yes, that's it. It's the only thing I like in this damn place!"

Olaf picked up the cup, which was a small wine barrel for ordinary people, and drank it in one gulp.

Olaf swallowed all the wine and ice cubes.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

"Haaa~!"

Olaf chewed the last few pieces of ice in his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief.

This cold feeling made him feel a little bit of the breath of his hometown.

"Again..."

"Give him another drink and put it on my account."

A gentle and confident voice sounded, and Olaf tilted his head to look.

"It's you, Li En!"

"Haha~! Olaf, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you doing in Bilgewater?"

Olaf's face, which was originally somewhat surprised, quickly fell after Li En asked this question.

"Don't even mention it. In order to dissect and sell that sea monster, I missed the battle where the Pirate King fell.

The troll guys at the shipyard told me that most of the wood used to repair ships was burned and is now in extreme shortage. I don’t know when the Winter Kiss can be repaired! "

Olaf scratched his beard irritably.

"It's humid, hot, and that shitty slaughterhouse stinks worse than a troll's mouth. I'm miserable in this damn place called Bilgewater.

I thought about it several times. If it weren’t for the crew, I would have wanted to swim back!”

"Wood? I can help you with that."

"real!?"

"Ah."

"Hahaha~! That's great, Li En, don't worry, now that the sea bugs have been sold, I have plenty of money. Based on the current price increase, I will definitely not let you suffer a loss!"

"It's okay, I'll pay the original price, but if you can do me a favor, I'll fix your boat for free."

"It doesn't have to be free, just tell me what you want, but I can only chop people, I can't do delicate work!"

"It's not about killing people, but... the undead!"

"Ah? Undead!?"

"Yes, I wonder if you have heard of...'The Haunting'?"

Although Li En's voice was not loud, when he uttered the three words "Soul-Erosion Night", the sailors around the two of them suddenly turned pale, stood up and left, and an inexplicable sense of weirdness and terror arose.

Olaf, who noticed this situation, became increasingly excited. He stared at Li En closely, with flames burning in his eyes.
