Chapter 264: Bilgewater

Walking past the stalls filled with stench, Seraphine saw the place where the sea hunters disembarked.

She poked her head out from behind Grid and whispered, "It's so big."

At this moment, not far in front of her, a nearly 100-meter-long red giant shark was hanging on a rope as thick as an arm.

A large group of dark-skinned, muscular men were using the power of machinery to pull the giant shark up from the sea.

This was the first time Seraphine saw such a "big guy", and at such a close distance. In comparison, the sharks she had seen passing by the stalls before were simply too small.

While sighing in her heart, Seraphine raised her head to face the dazzling light and carefully looked at the giant shark that gradually jumped out of the water.

A huge steel fork was inserted into the eyeball on the left side of its face, and the bright red blood slowly seeped out of the wound. It seemed that the wound had been there for some time.

The air was still dominated by the salty and humid smell of the sea, and the smell of blood was not strong.

The tail end of the steel fork was connected to a weathered wooden sailboat on the shore.

Seraphine's eyes stayed on the steel fork for a long time. It was hard for her to imagine that ordinary people could hunt sea monsters in the treacherous and changeable sea with only courage and experience.

Tsk tsk, it's really indescribable danger.

As she observed, she collected the praises of the sailors.

A brave sea hunter jumped into the water, found the right opportunity to launch the huge steel fork in his hand, and then dodged its last madness in the bloody water. After several hours of fighting for his life, he was finally able to hunt such a huge sea monster.

Grid looked up, appreciating the sea hunter standing next to the red shark, and supplemented Seraphine with geographical knowledge:

"More than a thousand years ago, human civilization here was not as prosperous as this. Sea beasts were hunters, and humans were prey."

"Teacher, I heard that the civilization of this area a thousand years ago was destroyed by... um... sharks like this one?"

Seraphine looked at the giant shark hanging high up, with a complicated expression.

"Dragon sharks, with an adult body size of more than 100 meters, live in groups, and often dozens of dragon sharks gather together to create huge waves hundreds of meters high. The primitive civilization first established by the Baru people was destroyed by an attack by a group of dragon sharks."

Grid paused and looked around.

Traces of Baru culture can be seen everywhere in Bilgewater, whether it is traditional medicine, festival folk customs or sea hunting technology, they are all passed down from the Baru civilization.

"Before that, the Baru people did not fear the gods, but after that, they gradually developed their own beliefs - Nagakabouros."

"It is called the god representing life, growth and eternal movement. People also call her the Snake Mother, the Sea Beast, or the Bearded Lady. Her common symbol is an extremely large sea monster head with an unusually large number of tentacles coiled around it."

"And that disaster was regarded by the Baru people as a disaster caused by their lack of fear of the gods. Because it happened in the depths of the Watcher's Sea, it was called the Watcher's Disaster."

Seraphini nodded from time to time. Her teacher knew almost everything about Runeterra, and these historical stories were always fascinating to hear.

"Teacher, does Nagakabouros really exist?" Seraphine asked.

She had heard that there were sea beast sacrifices and sea beast cults in Biltover, but unlike the righteous gods of Demacia who often sent down miracles, this sea beast was very famous, but almost no one had seen its appearance.

"If you believe, then there is; if you don't believe, then there is nothing. There are thousands of gods in the world. Some are born with great power like Anivia, some rely on people's faith like the Zaun wind elves, and some inherit the will of the stars like Kayle." Grid stepped aside to make way and said with a smile.

"Then in the eyes of the teacher, what kind of existence are these gods?"

Although her teacher had laid a lot of groundwork, Seraphine was still a little confused.

She was very sensitive to the tone and emotions of people's words, so she immediately felt her teacher's indifferent attitude when speaking.

"The history of mankind is nearly ten thousand years. At first, it was an era when the gods were high above. They regarded us as slaves and ants. They ruled us for thousands of years, and were finally overthrown by the grown-up humans and some kind demigods." Grid continued to explain patiently.

"The history of Freljord?" Seraphine thought of the chronicles of Noxus.

Her teacher once told her about that period of history. About 8000 BC, the three ice sisters, together with several powerful demigods, overthrew the northern gods and established the human-dominated Freljord civilization.

According to legend, the youngest of the three sisters is still alive and guards the Frostguard Fortress in the far north of Freljord.

She has heard from her teacher that the current mission of Ms. Leblanc and Ms. Camille seems to be to find the traces of the northern gods.

When she heard the teacher tell that period of history on the spot, she just regarded it as a story.

But after seeing Anivia, one of the protagonists of the story, she also had a different feeling.

What a spectacular scene it would be if several powerful beings with the power to destroy the world joined forces?

Ah. It's really exciting.

Grid could see the longing in her eyes, he just smiled and continued:

"After that, the era of the gods being supreme ended. The ancient gods of Runeland were overthrown one after another, and entered an era of co-governance between gods and humans."

"Um" Salinni tapped the jaw lightly, which was the history of Noxus before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The stories of Ferlzo and the half gods, the legends of Gu Jushu and Xingling, the equilibrium of Aienia and the spirit of nature

"Naga Kataroce was born in this era. It has been legendary or because of faith, and it can no longer be verified. But she undoubtedly because of human beings that she has consciousness and has the strength of the sea. "

Greid faces the sea, and his tone is bland:

"The new gods generated during this period of time have a deep connection with humans. They are different from those half gods that exist since ancient times. They all rely on human beings."

"Even those Star Spirit is the same. They have their own entities, but local creatures no longer have faith in them.

Because of this, Atris will be born

Greid's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corner of his mouth rose slightly:

"In the past thousand years, due to the Dark -desire War and Rune War, human beings have slowly did not believe in the gods, and the empire Noxus, who has no gods, shelter, was also established at that time. It's just a little stronger than ordinary people. "

Salinni listened to her teacher full of domineering words, and could not help but be surging.

What a goal of hunting gods, how bold and fearless.

And this is not just the imagination of her teacher. She knows the current empire and her teacher.

If the empire before Cui Feli came to power, such a declaration was just a joke with a joke, but Cui Fali came to power for 2 or 3 years, but what he did was like this declaration.

She still remembers her teacher's first battle after Cui Feli came to power to face the flying wing protection god from Demasia -justice star Kyle.

In that battle, the two teachers defeated the gods on the front, allowing everyone to see the strength of Noxus for the first time.

In the following time, the pace of the empire had never stopped.

Demasia was easily won by the Cui Fali Parliament. The Shirima continent was basically under the radiation of the empire, and Ferlzer was also praising the empire's prestige.

What's more, Bill Goldot, which is far from the mainland, still circulates the legend of Noxus, regarding it as the same existence as Nama Kakacolise.

Noxus, her empire, relying on human power alone to compete with the gods.

This is the only example in the history of human beings.

She has no doubt that more gods will be cut off the sky by the Empire in the future. Now, they are walking on this road

Watching the dragon shark was slowly dragged away, Salinni raised a bright smile at the corner of her mouth.

Born in such a heyday of human beings, as a member of the participants, this feeling.

very nice!

Seeing his apprentice walking away slightly, Greid smiled dumbly and followed him.

Blue Flame Islands, Bilgig Water Bay.

The uneven coastline is covered with high and low blue and black cliff walls. On the cliff wall, the slightly flat terrain occupies a "adaptability" home built by moisture -proof wood.

Wow, wow--

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

The waves of green light patted the reef, hit a large white water foam, and when the new round of waves rose, the white foam had already retreated.

In addition to rolling waves, the ships coming and going are also driving in here, and it is endless.

This is the core of Bilgi Water. It is the gathering of hundreds of and thousands of settlements gathered together, forming the current Bilgiwater.

Bilgiwater was born of the sea, and the blue flame island is far from the mainland, and it is on the main road of Piltwoff's sea. It is simply a pirate and illegal paradise.

For hundreds of years, countless dangerous people who have been risking have come here. The power of large and small forces has been wrong, forming the current situation of Bilgiwater.

A strange force of a pirate king, but they have their own ghosts.

Their culture and technology are passed from the Baru civilization thousands of years ago. For those poor and evil people, there is nothing more important than security and their lives.

Baru culture can make their survival rates higher in the sea, so people here will admire.

Practical, interests. This is the criterion of Bilgiwater.

Unlike Demasia, the people here have no burden.

Unlike Ionia, people here enjoy the looting and robbing, which is their foundation.

Unlike Noxus, people here recognize their strength, but they are not afraid of strength. Little people also have a day of poisoning the pirate king.

Bilgi Walter Bay, a chaotic neutral seaport, a harbor with opportunities everywhere.

On the tallest cliff in this bay, there is a newly built wooden house.

Compared to the old -fashioned houses, the wooden house here can be seen at a glance.

The higher the place where the blood flow is constantly flowing every day, the higher the status.

Those who can build a residence at the highest place must be the one who is regarded as the king of pirates by everyone.

On the second floor of the exquisite wooden house, on a balcony in the sea, a cold and frosty woman stood in front of the guardrail. The liquor wavy was scattered next to her white shoulders, and she fluttered slightly with the sea breeze.

It was early summer, and the tropical Bilgewater Bay was filled with moisture and heat, so her clothes were extremely hot, not only a bra and a pair of leather pants that tightened her lower body, but no other decorations.

Dong!

There was a knock on the door behind her, and a burly man walked in respectfully.

The woman's red lips curled slightly, and her voice was charming:

"Tosby, I hope to hear some good news."

"Sorry, Queen!" Tosby bowed slightly, "The black fog spreads very quickly. Stram Island was swallowed up the day before yesterday, and the rest of the latest news has not yet arrived. At the current speed, the black fog will spread to Bilgewater Bay in at most 2 months."

"Any other news?" The Queen, who had just taken office, looked indifferent, playing with the exquisite magic cube in her hand, "Such news is not worth your special trip."

"Queen, someone from the Empire is here!" Tosby raised his head fearlessly.

"Empire, I haven't heard this word for a long time." Pirate Queen Sarah had a complicated expression.

On the first day she got involved with Noxus, she thought there would be such a day.

She was able to quickly reach her current position not because of her strength, but because she had a blood feud with the previous Pirate King, and she happened to meet someone.

"Lady Empress, the space battleship will sail into Biltover Bay in two days at most." Thorsby reminded.

He didn't want to see the so-called Empress do something stupid. The person coming from the Empire this time was the apprentice of the person he was loyal to, and he had a high reputation in the Empire.

If everything goes well, maybe he will have a chance to return to the Empire.

Life here is not bad, but he wants to go back and see the powerful Empire under the command of the general.

"Humph, Thorsby, no need to say more." Sarah looked at him coldly.

She knew that she couldn't rule Bilgewater by herself, but if it weren't for the threat of the Shadow Island Black Mist, she wouldn't take the initiative to turn to Noxus.

With the help of the Empire, she killed her enemy. This is a great favor, and she will remember it forever.

But she has been a Bilgewater person since she was a child. This place is the cradle of pirates, and it will never become a pasture for the empire like Demacia is now.

When the Black Mist is over, she will give an explanation to the Bilgewater people.

Stobby didn't say anything more, but retreated respectfully.

He knew that his thoughts had been conveyed, but it was a pity that she had a different position from the general, otherwise he would be willing to become one of her subordinates.
