Chapter 209 [0207] After the Storm

In the hazy black fog, Lux only saw the outline of the "flower" blooming above the whirlpool on the sea from a distance, and then she had to lower her head because of the severe pain.

With both magic and physical strength exhausted, Lux barely stayed awake and sat down against the wall of the temple. It was already her limit.

"Don't worry, Lux." Kalya spoke in a rare gentle tone, "The statue of the god was smashed into the sea by Ornn, and it's okay now."

Lux uttered a soft "hmm" from her nose, then closed her eyes, tilted her head back slightly, and leaned against the wall, and her breathing finally calmed down.

After a while, a uniform and fine snoring sounded, and Lux ​​held the hilt of her sword tightly and finally fell asleep.

……………………

When Lux woke up, the sky was completely bright.

The priests of Nagakabouros did not move her rashly, but built a huge sunshade above her head and left one person waiting for her to wake up.

After regaining consciousness, Lux slowly stood up with the help of the wall - then, a strong feeling of dizziness came over her, and she almost fell on the spot.

"Be careful!" Kalya reminded quickly, "Magic overdraft will interfere with your senses and judgment, so try to move slowly."

"..."

Lux did not speak, but took a deep breath, supported the wall with both hands, slowly straightened up, then turned around, leaned against the wall, and let out a long breath.

All the muscles in her body seemed to be broken and extremely sore. After the sweat and sea water mixed together, they were dried by the body temperature in the rune steel armor, leaving salt grains all over her body, rubbing her skin painfully.

Lux licked her lips, but found that her lips were severely peeling and even cracked due to lack of water...

From childhood to adulthood, Lux had never been so embarrassed and difficult.

However, when she looked far away, at the sea and the blue sky, she felt very comfortable.

"How is Sarah?" She retracted her gaze and looked at the priest beside her, "And Illaoi, is she okay?"

"Ms. Sarah and the True One are both fine." The priest bowed his head slightly and answered respectfully, "Ms. Sarah was injured, but not fatally. She woke up last night - the Snake Mother has been protecting her. As for the True One... she is here."

The next moment, Illaoi, carrying the statue of the God, came to the awning. She lowered her head and came to Lux, handing over a ripe mango.

"Try this, it's sweet."

Lux blinked, but still took the mango, slowly peeled the skin, and put the plump flesh into her mouth.

The sweetness and the unique sourness of mango spread on the tip of the tongue.

This is the best mango Lux has ever eaten - except that the mango is not juicy enough, everything is perfect.

"Well done, little girl." Illaoi watched Lux ​​devour the whole mango, "That guy Tam has suffered a lot this time."

"You know him?" Lux, who was chewing the core, was stunned for a moment, "That demon?"

"Of course I know." Illaoi carried the God on his shoulders, "Demons are the extreme of desire. Without desire, there would be no demons. Bilgewater's pink face is so greedy, so Tam will naturally appear here often."

"What was the result of yesterday's battle?" Lux ate the mango and seemed to have recovered. Illaoi gathered a little strength and walked out of the awning little by little, "I saw flowers blooming on the ocean."

"Sarah found her own way." Illaoi grinned, her tone was happy, "She got the recognition of Nagakabouros."

"Is Gangplank finished?" Lux blinked, "Will never come back?"

"Well, it's not easy to say." Illaoi retracted his smile, "That bastard lost badly, but he is no longer a human being - the sea is boundless, but it may not be able to bury the dead."

"So, the next time the Soul Devouring Night comes, , Gangplank will come back? "

"That won't happen." Illaoi shook her head, "He is not the same as the undead in the Night of Souls... The undead will be purified, but the dead are just the obsession of the dead. That bastard will not return in the Night of Souls."

"Is that so." Lux nodded, indicating that she understood, "All in all, this should be considered a great victory, right?"

"Almost." Illaoi pondered for a moment, "Half of Bilgewater has seen the flower on the sea. Although she is not the king of the twelve seas, at least in Bilgewater, she is still the king of the twelve seas. Bilgewater, everyone takes off their hats when they see her."

"Isn't that enough?" Lux asked doubtfully as she entered the temple, "She has been recognized by Nagakabouros and respected by pirates and sailors."

"But before that, she still has one last step to go." Illaoi shrugged, "If her dream is to become the king of the twelve seas and become the new disaster of the sea, then this is enough, but unfortunately, her dream is more than that."

Hearing Illaoi say this, Lux's heart was filled with joy.

"She is going to give up most of the pirate business." Illaoi's next words confirmed Lux's guess, "She said that Gangplank's era is over, and Bilgewater will usher in a new life."

Lux clenched her fists and cheered excitedly in a low voice.

"Don't be happy too soon." Illaoi saw Lux's joy, "But most of the locals and sailors in Baru are reluctant."

"Ionia trade will bring huge profits, enough for Bilgewater to live..."

"That's in the future after all." Illaoi waved her hand and interrupted Lux, "Sailors don't have such a big picture - and my fellow Baru people are not very willing to deal with pink faces."

Lux blinked.

"But there may be opportunities." As if panting, Illaoi added, "At least Sarah now has the opportunity to hold a pirate meeting - not the previous invitation system, but to order everyone to come to participate."

"When?"

"Tonight." Illaoi handed an invitation to Lux, "You are not a member of Bilgewater, this is your invitation."

Lux took the invitation - well, it was actually an envelope with a note with the time and place written inside.

Then, just as Lux silently memorized the location, her stomach growled.

"Before that, I suggest you eat something first - you are a very charming girl, except when your stomach growls and you snore."

Looking at Illaoi who took out a mango with a smile, Lux blinked dully.

This paragraph... why does it sound so familiar?

Kalya's Little Class · Pirate Assembly:

The Pirate King of Bilgewater has the right to convene a Pirate Assembly, and anyone who is asked to attend but does not come will be regarded as a provocation to the authority of the Pirate King.

There are two more chapters in the evening.
