League of Legends: Chasing Beauty Song
Chapter 141
Once the topic is opened, there will naturally be more to say.
In fact, Macie didn't know Pike at first. She just needed a harpooner who had the courage to fight the harpoon and collect the green bladders. When she went to the slaughterhouse to recruit, the man was called Pike. The people came.
He was very diligent and capable. He was a very good person. He had no ambition and only wanted to make money. It was not until after his death that the uneasy Macie learned more about this man named Pike.
All Macie could tell Samira was what she knew.
When he was young, Pike, like most people in Bilgewater, started out on the Slaughter Docks. Every day, monsters caught from the deep sea are piled on the shore, waiting to be sent to the slaughterhouse for dismantling and processing, all day long. The place where he works is Blood Harbor, because even the waves cannot wash away the endless flow of greasy blood between the wooden slats.
Working day after day, he saw more and more clearly what kind of deal it was, a smelly job in exchange for a meager salary. Time and time again, Pike watched as the captain and crew collected heavy bags of gold coins as he and his men cut the horrific sea monster carcasses into pieces of meat that could be easily sold.
No longer satisfied with the few coppers in his pocket, he tried to persuade the crew to take him aboard. Few people dare to hunt in the traditional way from the Anaconda Islands: flying towards the prey, driving the drag hook into the monster's body with their bare hands, and then starting to dissect it alive. Pike is not afraid of death and has extraordinary skills, so the value of this harpooner rises very quickly. There is no golden sea monster to talk about.
He knows very well that the flesh and blood of sea monsters are actually of average price, and the real valuable things are bigger ones. Certain organs from a larger, more dangerous monster...certain organs that need to be harvested alive.
Each type of sea monster has a different price depending on the difficulty of hunting, and the most popular one among Bilgewater merchants is the Tallfish. The green sacs taken out of its saber-toothed mouth can purify different magical essences, so everyone in Runeterra covets them. A small bottle of glowing green oil is enough to buy ten large ships and their crews.
And just when Pike was trying his best to prepare for a big deal, Macie came to the dock and recruited brave sailors to venture into the sea and hunt the rare turtle fish.
Pike felt that this job was just for him, so he signed up and successfully boarded the Terror.
A few days after sailing, they encountered a huge zoar, with rows of green sacs exposed from its wide open mouth. Although this Dol was much larger and older than anything Pike had ever seen, as soon as a few harpoons with ropes controlled the giant beast, Pike jumped into its mouth without hesitation.
Just as he was about to start working, a low tremor came from the end of the monster's deep throat. Then, foam rolled on the sea surface, and a large group of zoars appeared, rushing to hit the ship.
Macchier freaks out and cuts Pike's lifeline. The sad harpooner, the last thing he saw before the monster closed its jaws was the horrified expressions of the crew - they just watched him being swallowed alive by the monster
"So, you murdered your companion?"Samira looked down on people who abandoned their crew members in times of crisis, with a look of disdain on her face.
"This is also the first time I have encountered such a situation," Ma Qiye shrank and said:"There are dozens of crew members on my ship, and I can't give up the lives of the entire ship just because of him."
"This reason is not valid. You can run away, but at least you cannot cut off the lifeline. He may still survive." Samira shook her head and said,"You are still too selfish!"
Maqiye stopped talking, lowered his head and didn't know what to think about.
"Let's go, I've finished asking my questions," Samira put down her wine glass and said to the two followers beside her.
After walking out of the tavern, Samila took the two of them to a small alley opposite the tavern and leaned against the wall. Silent
"Sister, what is this?"Graves's reaction was relatively slow, and he didn't know why.
"Wait, let's see what the captain is going to do," Drizzt explained:"Marco's guess should not be wrong."
"Are you saying that the harpooner who was buried in the belly of the fish is back for revenge?"Graves' eyes widened.
"We investigated the past of everyone on this ship, they are just a group of ordinary fishermen, and all the contradictions come from the harpooner who was abandoned by them," Drizzt nodded.
"But isn't that guy already dead?"
"The dead can also be resurrected, and they may have gained some mysterious power," Samira said quietly:"For example, Mordekaiser or Foego!"
When the name was mentioned, the two of them had no reaction. After hearing Foyego's name, their faces became very ugly.
"how? Is this a taboo in Bilgewater? Samira asked with a smile.
"Sister, the terrifying Soul-Eating Night happens every year. Do you know how many people will die in Bilgewater?"Graves shuddered and said,"No one in Bilgewater knows the horror of the Ruined King."
"I'm really looking forward to the next Soul Eating Night," Samira said and suddenly laughed.
"Um?"Although Graves was very dissatisfied, he was more curious about what Samira's smile meant.
"This island city now belongs to Rorschach, and he will not allow his people to encounter these things, so I am looking forward to how he will deal with the invasion of the black mist!"
Hearing Samira's words and thinking of Rorschach's terror, Graves and Drizzt were somewhat looking forward to the next Soul Haunting Night.
Rorschach knew about the existence of Soul Haunting Night. Sarah told it, and Illaoi also told it. Yes, so he was also worried about how to deal with it if the Night of Soul Erosion came.
But now he was worried about how to transport these twelve towering trees back to the village intact.
This was a gift from Elder Enso to Rorschach— -Twelve ancient war trees.
Rorschach almost fainted with joy. These are legendary magical plants. They can swing their thick branches to attack invading enemies, and they can also use catapults to tangle their own branches. A large fruit that looks like a coconut is thrown out.
The types of large fruit are different. Some will hit people and explode into a cloud of mist, causing the enemy to hallucinate. Some will produce a kind of... Very small spores parasitize on the enemy, causing the enemy to lose combat effectiveness.
The rarest thing is that the fruit will explode, the power is not small, and it can cause a certain amount of damage.
"In fact, I cultivated eighteen trees, but those six trees reached ten thousand years old, triggering divine punishment, and they all died." The elder looked a lot older and said sadly:"It seems that I am destined to be the last one to disappear in the world. The tree shepherds of this world"
"Rather than letting these ancient war trees be struck to death by lightning, I might as well give them to you as a report that you have always been thinking about helping me find my tribe." The elder looked even more lonely when he said this.
"Don't be so discouraged," Luo Xia wiped her saliva and said with a smile:"Rune Continent is so big, I believe you will be able to find your tribe. As for these ancient trees, I will figure out how to avoid lightning strikes when they are ten thousand years old."
"Is there any way?"The tree shepherd elder obviously had some doubts about these words.
"You must have never heard of the lightning rod. If it is just a simple lightning strike and there is no other natural punishment, I have a way, don't worry." Luo Xia actually thought of the lightning rod method when he heard about the natural punishment.
But in In Runeterra, Rorschach doesn’t know whether lightning rods have any effect on heavenly punishment.
"That's great," Elder Enso said with a smile on his face
"Come back with me, go and see where I am, and come back if you want," Luo Xia quickly invited the elder
"That would be annoying."
