Chapter 748 Sail! Set Sail!

Its daybreak……

At the slaughtering pier of Bilgewater’s Bone Bay, even though it is still early in the morning, no fresh sea beasts have been slaughtered on the slaughter gallows. However, due to years of long slaughter, the scarlet blood of a large number of sea beasts, It has already soaked every reef, every grain of sand, and every drop of seawater in this harbor... So, the seawater here seems to always be that horrible red color with that stench?

Of course, after a whole night of continuous washing by the waves, the red sea water in the pier has been gradually diluted, and it cannot be compared with the frightening crimson color at the peak of the slaughter.

then,

After the bright red sea water and the red sun rising in the morning in the distance complement each other, looking around, no matter whether it is the sky or the sea, it is a piece of red... Let the scenery here have a kind of bloody killing in the strangeness The tragic aesthetic feeling that can only be found on the battlefield... And this "watching the sunrise at the bone-deep harbor, the blood-stained blue sky is the same color" is one of the most famous wonders in Bilgewater!

It's a pity that no one here will pay attention to these things now, because this kind of thing, in the eyes of Bilgewater people, has long been a common thing.

"hurry up!"

~(￣0￣)/speed speed~!

"You lazy bastards, hurry up and put everything on the boat for me, we will have it soon! Also, that bearded man on the shore, what are you looking at, people are talking about you, hurry up! Untie it immediately That thick cable under your feet!!”

ψ(*｀)

"Hey! Are you a sailor, you have to untie the cable before sailing, don't you even know this?!"

s(·｀ヘ·;)

at this time,

In this slaughtering dock, a medium-sized hunting ship is swaying in the scarlet water, being led by a group of incompetent sailors who seem to be a little chaotic and busy, as well as a small little man who is commanding and shouting indiscriminately. Under the operation of the captain, the three dirty sails were finally pulled up unsteadily, and taking advantage of the morning breeze, they slowly drifted towards the outside of the bone-deep bay.

Yes, the captain of this ship is Lady Queen Anne, you read that right...

This battered, somewhat dirty-looking medium-sized hunting boat, renamed the 'Greasy', was Anne's last night at a hotel in Bilgewater, from a poor-to-pay Bought from a down-and-out captain who couldn't pay for rent and drinks!

And those clumsy sea hunter crew members who are operating on the ship, the reason why they listen to a little girl so much is actually because:

What little Annie spent money to buy last night was not just such a medium-sized sea boat used to hunt giant beasts, in fact, the down-and-out captain even bought one and got one free, and gave her such a ship directly. It is rumored that they are very incompetent. They have been out to sea several times, but they have not been able to hunt down any deep-sea monsters, and then almost killed their former captain alive to the bankrupt sea hunter team? !

You know, here in Bilgewater, a hunting boat that goes out to sea many times but fails to catch any giant prey is easily despised and ridiculed by others... It is even considered extremely unlucky and unlucky exist? And those sea hunters or other captains who go out to sea to earn their lives often attach great importance to the invisible and intangible illusory things like 'luck'!

so,

Under normal circumstances, no sea hunter or captain is willing to take over this kind of ship!

If it wasn't bought by an ignorant and fearless little girl, it would be seen by someone one day in the future, and then dragged to the shore at a low price to be used as a house or other uses, and engraved on the nameplate of the house gate Its experience is regarded as an 'epitaph', and it will never have a better ending...

but,

There's an exception to everything, isn't it?

No, because of a rich man who is extremely confident in his own strength,

The little girl who does things without considering any consequences meets a certain impoverished captain by chance... So, after an unknown amount of heavy gold coins was handled, the ship was rowed to Anne's name. Next, and a group of sea hunters who almost starved to death are included for free! !

This,

It was here at the Slaughter Wharf today that Anne was able to command a ship of more than 20 people, and successfully moved her own ship "Greasy" under the eyes of many Bilgewater people who were either curious or mocking. The reason for sailing away from the Slaughter Dock, off the Bone Coast! !

This wreck, the reason why it is called "Greasy" is actually because Annie just used those greasy and disgusting things to tease some bad guys and robbers who wanted to get rich and kill them, and early this morning, When she came here to receive it, after seeing this dirty and broken ship, she naturally said such an annoying word.

But actually...

At the beginning, she planned to call it the "Little Bear"... Unfortunately, due to the strong opposition of her family's Tibbers, she had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and casually call it such a strange name, And someone wrote its new name crookedly on a broken wooden board, and randomly nailed it to the sacred position of the original ship name on the bow.

Little Annie never cared about such troublesome little things, and out of distrust of the new captain, the crew who also did not have much hope for this trip to sea naturally also He didn't pay much attention to the very inauspicious practice of changing the name of the ship, just let it go, and let such a rich little girl with some strange magical abilities go around.

(…)

(Dear little master, what's the trouble with you running out to sea early in the morning... I clearly remember that you used to have this kind of slow-moving broken sea boat when you were in the Caribbean Sea Have played, do you want to play now?

(●￣￣●)

For the first time ever, Tibbers felt very, very sorry for a poor little master who didn't sleep in that luxurious room of the hotel, but came here early in the morning to play this kind of sea-going game. Puzzled!

Because, this kind of thing where the sun comes out from the west really makes it feel quite rare...

Well, Uncle Tibbers almost forgot again, this is not any earth plane, if the sun comes out from the west, it doesn't seem too strange? )

"Of course I went hunting!!"

(><)

"That huge sea beast is so delicious, so big, and so ferocious, I'm sure I'm going to buy a few of them to have a good time!!"

(`)

Thinking of the piece of meat she ate yesterday, the corners of Annie's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Such delicious things are not sold every day...

Moreover, the best things are said to be dedicated to the gang leaders and smugglers in this city...they are named by the people above to keep, even if she has money, she may not Be able to buy those special offerings!

Besides, the harvest at the slaughtering wharf was a bit poor today. From early in the morning until the sun rose, none of the sailboats of the sea hunters came back. Therefore, there must be no fresh giants in Bilgewater today. Animal meat is sold, but Annie doesn't like to eat ordinary sea fish!

so,

After eating a not-so-good breakfast, Anne resolutely decided to use the medium-sized sea boat she bought last night to hunt and catch food for herself for the sake of her stomach that was likely to be injured more and more. Big fish go!

Moreover, she also decided:

She will never use her powerful ability lightly. As long as no particularly powerful monsters appear, she will only use the power of this ship and those stupid sea hunter crew members to fight as many as she wants. The kind of sea beast I want, I am so envious of those guys who laugh at her on the pier when sailing! !

Of course, if she really can't catch it, maybe... maybe...she will really cheat a little secretly?

(Hmm...Master, just be happy with yourself...

Anyway, it can't be stopped. Anyway, the ship is gradually moving away from Bilgewater. Anyway, I don't think much about Tibbers, whose crew who can't even steer the boat have the ability to catch big fish, so I don't plan to talk anymore. , let a bad-hearted little master who probably only has three minutes of heat look around on the bow of the boat, looking at the surrounding shimmering sea and the seabirds flying all over the sky early in the morning to hunt for food. )

"!!"

∑(△｀)? !

"Hey! It's driving well, why did you stop suddenly, don't you have breakfast? Hurry up, speed up for me, full speed with the right rudder!!"

(｀へ)ノ

Annie went out to sea to hunt today, not to play at sea!

If possible, she must hit a big enough monster today, just like the huge octopus that she hit in the Caribbean that year! Therefore, she was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the crew who slowed down the ship without her consent and floated slowly on the sea!

If they kept floating like this, they might not be able to reach the nearest deep-sea hunting ground until next month, let alone catch those ferocious and terrifying super sea beasts! !

"..."

"That...respected captain, we didn't stop the ship on purpose...we just want to ask, have you paid the 'tithe' for going to sea?"

The one who leaned over, nodded and bowed, and humbly asked the little girl was a legendary harpooner called Lars, who was additionally recruited by Little Annie!

Under normal circumstances, the harpooner is the soul of a team of sea hunters. They are mainly responsible for shooting with harpoons or diving into the sea with other weapons to hook and try to kill those huge sea prey!

This kind of senior old harpooner is often the most critical and core figure of a ship or a sea hunter team! There is no doubt that many harpooners are perfect marksmen, or fearless free divers! A team of sea hunters without a qualified harpooner will definitely not be able to hunt any prey, and this is the real reason why little Anne listened to the persuasion of the down-and-out captain and spent a lot of money to recruit him .

"Pay taxes?"

∑(￣□￣;)?

"Well, why do people have to pay taxes? Don't you say that Bilgewater is a free port, so why do you have to collect taxes? You guy, do you want to deceive your captain, and then you can do that kind of deception? Is it a case of corruption and fraud?"

"Let me tell you, I hate this kind of person the most. Do you want me to burn you right now?!"

(ψv)

The reason why Little Annie was able to successfully recruit the legendary harpooner Lars in front of her and command those crew members who had lost their lives and started doing those tricks and kidnappings in Bilgewater city. Listening to her own words, in addition to the offensive of gold coins, she also properly disclosed her identity as a tall spellcaster!

So now, after hearing that the other party wanted to fool her into paying taxes, she stared at the other party's sloppy beard unceremoniously, and angrily grabbed a ball of orange-red light in the palm of her hand. And little fireballs of terrible heat.

These guys, don't think that Queen Anne doesn't know anything when she is still young!

If they thought that they could deceive her unscrupulously by running to the sea, then they were very wrong! !

"this……"

"My Lord Captain..."

"Everyone who goes to sea has to pay taxes, don't you really know that? Here in Bilgewater, everyone knows that..., as the saying goes, 'If you don't pay a tithe, the sea will boil', that's true. I'm not kidding, that's very important, even more important than whether our ship can hit those deep-sea monsters!!"

because,

If you don't teach taxes, it will be fatal!

Those terrible experiences in the past have made Lars understand that no matter when he goes to sea or returns with a full load, he must pay the tithe... If he hadn't seen the captain pay the tax with his own eyes, He will definitely not continue to go into the deep sea, or he will never easily approach the Python Walking Islands, a place closely watched by the bearded lady.

Anyway, if the little captain in front of him doesn't listen to persuasion, even if he unilaterally terminates the employment relationship and jumps into the sea to risk swimming back, he will not hesitate! !

"..."

(_)

"What a mess of tithes, people have never heard of it!!"

s(·｀ヘ·;)

No one has ever dared to collect taxes on her Lady Queen Anne, whether it is road tax or other!

She really never thought that when her ship came out of a free port, she had to pay taxes first without doing anything... In this world, is there really such an outrageous thing?

Moreover,

Pay taxes and so on, but now they are on the sea, and there is no ship around, so who do they have to pay? Moreover, if she just refuses to pay, what can these people do to her? !

"..."

"Captain, that's the tax paid to the bearded lady of the sea..."

At this time,

Lars seems to have remembered that this little mage girl is probably not a native of Bilgewater, because ah, the commission paid to them by the other party seems to be gold coins from Noxus, not their Bill The unique golden siren here in Givaut?

Therefore, although he also felt that the other party might be an unreliable guy, he still patiently explained this sentence to the little girl.

"Ms. Beard?"

(=w=)o?

"Oh... you mean that big octopus? Where is it now? It doesn't cost money for a monster like that, so why pay taxes to it?!"

(●｀●)

Ms. Beard or something, Annie has heard it many times, and it also includes other names, such as: God representing life, growth and eternal motion, snake mother, sea beast, big octopus, etc.?

and,

Since the other party is also a sea beast...

This made Anne couldn't help but have a crazy idea... She thought, if she could find it and bring it back to Bilgewater for slaughter, would it be a big sensation, and make people The whole city of Bilgewater knows about her Queen Anne's reputation? !

When others catch sea beasts, she catches a native god and brings them back. Thinking about that kind of thing makes me a little excited...

(…)

(●￣￣●)

"Captain..."

"It's not why... because everyone has to pay taxes... Those who don't teach taxes are dead, and they were dragged into the sea by that deep-sea titan..."

"Especially... when the prey is captured and returned?"

"I used to be a harpooner. I saw the 'Long Snake' being dragged into the sea by it... Everyone died, and I almost didn't come back alive..."

Lars slowly explained with a trembling voice of fear, he knew the horror of Nautilus, the titan of the abyss, and he had a deep understanding. In the sea, no one would be his opponent!

Even though the little girl in front of him seemed to know a little bit of flame tricks, he didn't think she could defeat that monster like a deep sea demon god, that bearded lady's 'tax officer' in the sea!

"..."

(`)

Anne doesn't really want to pay taxes, but...

"Tell me, how much tax do you have to pay?!"

(,,.,,)

Although she was somewhat reluctant, Annie asked impatiently in order to let the hired bastard sailors work quickly and catch that huge sea beast as soon as possible.

"Now we need at least one Gold Siren or something of equivalent value!!"

Lars stretched out a finger, paying taxes is a must, everyone must pay taxes!

Because, even in his own pocket, he always kept a golden siren, which was his lucky siren coin. When he was the poorest, he never traded it for wine...but, if necessary, He will definitely use it to exchange for his own chance of survival!

"oh……"

(.)

Anne doesn’t have any gold sirens or anything, she only has gold coins from Noxus and gold galleons from Gringotts in Diagon Alley, or industrial gold ingots that have a different weight from the golden siren... So, Not knowing how many gold coins to throw, she simply randomly took out an ordinary magic gemstone from her pocket, and threw it into the sea water far away.

Plop!

With a soft sound, all the sailors, including Lars, who volunteered to remonstrate with their captain, were very sure that they saw their little captain pay the bearded lady a tithe to the sea. Tax.

"Here! Can we sail now?!"

s(·｀ヘ·;)

Annie secretly decided that she would not pay taxes after returning to the voyage. At that time, look at that 'bearded lady', or a deep-sea titan, what can I do with her?

(!!)

(Dear little master, this is the sea, when the time comes, you must not expect the little one to come out and fight with the enemies you have provoked!!

Whether it's the bearded lady, the abyssal titan, or other native gods, it's Tibbers, the bear uncle, who is not afraid of them all! However, the premise is that it must be on the shore, and the enemy cannot fly and run faster than it?

But if it is the sea full of sea water in front of you, then I'm sorry, it will definitely not come out to fight the enemy, because Tibbers is a veritable 'landland duck', not only will it not Swimming, and a little afraid of water...)

"Of course, Your Excellency the Great Captain, let's sail now!!"

After finishing speaking, Lars left the bow and ran towards the rear mast, intending to continue working and command the sailors to raise the sails and head for the deep sea area where the sea monsters were hunted. 2k reading network
