[0153] Soul Eating is coming
After some "opening the door and checking the water meter," Sarah almost completely stabilized the situation in Bilgewater.
In front of the pirates, she showed a completely different image of a ruler - different from Gangplank's cruelty, Miss Fortune was powerful while still retaining a bit of cunning.
Although this is not enough to convince everyone and recognize her as the new pirate king, at least for now, there are only a handful of people who can arm-wrestle with her.
leftover……
I'm afraid it will take time.
On the slaughtering dock, the number of butchers paying protection fees has returned to once a day - and the "self-employed" people who rowed boats out to sea have finally paid their tithes honestly, although there are still people brewing conspiracy behind the scenes.
But at least it seems that the entire Bilgewater is quickly restoring order.
This is undoubtedly what Yasuo is happy to see.
An orderly Bilgewater will become a transit point between Ionia and Piltover. Although Sarah will not be able to maintain the high profits as in the past, she will still be able to make profits without raising taxes in the future.
, to maintain the expenses of his elite commandos.
Everyone is good.
Then, just when Yasuo found Sarah and planned to talk to her about the next step of cooperation, Sarah asked a question that Yasuo had not thought of before.
"What, tomorrow night is Soul Eating Night?!"
……………………
Although he is not from Bilgewater, Yasuo still knows something about Soul Haunting Night.
On this annual night, Bilgewater will face the impact of the undead. At this time, the black mist of the Shadow Island will spread in the moonless night, and the cursed undead on the Shadow Island will
Then they will ride on this black mist and wreak havoc on the entire Watching Sea.
In the past, every Soul-Eating Night, Gangplank would call on the most ferocious Iron Hook Gang gangsters, launch his own Abyss, and use cannons to directly bombard the black mist. The large-caliber artillery, combined with explosive shells, could
Very good at expelling the unconscious undead - the cannon named "Daughter of Death" became famous in this process.
As for those powerful guys, Illaoi will personally take action - the tithes of pirates and sailors are not in vain. Naga Kapoulos can have a solid belief in this place full of villains and liars.
Naturally, he has some ability.
But this year, Planck is finished, and his responsibility will probably be shouldered by Sarah.
"The Siren doesn't have heavy artillery like the Daughter of Death." Sarah didn't hide anything, and directly expressed her current difficulty to Yasuo, "Glank used to keep a close eye on the cannon foundry, but I haven't got it yet.
A functioning cannon, this year's Soul Erosion Night... I need a little help to expel the undead."
"But, I don't owe you any favors." Although Bilgewater was still very white in the evening, Yasuo was not blinded yet. "Illaoi had plans for me - to be honest, I really
I don’t want to have a hand in Soul Erosion Night.”
"But you have already agreed." Sarah didn't care about the rejection in Yasuo's words, but smiled, "otherwise you wouldn't stay here."
"To be honest, you are a bit pretentious." Yasuo curled his lips upon hearing this, "I will stay here and wait for you to undergo the trial of Naga Kapoulos."
"Then this is the first stage of the trial." Sarah refused to give in, as if she was sure of you. "Only after I have passed the Soul-eating Night can I truly be qualified to stand in front of Illaoi."
"That's right." Yasuo nodded thoughtfully, "I want the offshore pricing power for all bulk items - the kind that is non-negotiable."
"You are very greedy." Sarah narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at Yasuo for a while, "But this one...I agreed."
"Very good." Yasuo took the initiative to extend his hand, "Then, it's a deal - I will follow you on Soul Eating Night."
With Yasuo's promise, Sarah seemed much more relaxed.
The elite commandos under his command were organized again, and everyone was fully armed and ready.
The Siren paid three times the salary, and on the night of Soul Erosion, all the sailors stayed on the ship to work overtime. When the lights went out and night came, Sarah stood on the deck of the Siren, fully prepared.
Even Raven didn't know where he got a batch of "holy water" - it is said that this stuff is the product of some ancient religious orders and has a strong restraint effect on the undead.
When the holy water was applied to the weapons, the blades of all the scimitars lit up with a silvery white light in the darkness.
It looks like light pollution.
Seeing commandos wearing Hex devices and holding light-polluting scimitars boarding the deck, Yasuo had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu on the set of "Star Wars"...
He dumbfoundedly refused the suggestion to apply some holy water on his long sword, and Yasuo silently came to the mast of the Siren.
The sun in the distance sank little by little below the horizon.
But the moon did not rise as usual.
On the calm sea, there was no wind at all - but in this tranquility, black fog came.
……………………
The first ones to encounter the black mist were not Sara and Yasuo, who were waiting for them, but a few bold fishermen in Rat Town. The protection fees paid in the previous two days were too much, and these guys who were bolder than they were strong wanted to
While no one is paying attention on the night of Soul Erosion, go underwater and make a fortune.
After all, the entire Abyss sunk at the dock, and no one has dared to organize a large-scale salvage in the past few days - it is foreseeable that among the wreckage of the Abyss, there will definitely be a lot of silver snake coins.
.
Normally, countless eyes are staring at the money, and the little shrimps like them are not able to salvage, but in the night of soul-eating, the guys who are usually domineering are also squatting at home, and opportunities naturally appear.
As for what would happen if you meet the undead...
The salvage has to be done underwater anyway, and the undead come in the black mist, so it’s always safe underwater, right?
With this thought in mind, these fishermen got on their boats in the evening. When it got dark, they put on the breathing tubes they had prepared and sneaked into the water quietly.
The night is hazy.
There was no moonlight at night in Soul Erosion, but the scattered silver snake coins in the reef at the Slaughter Pier still gave off a strange light.
The fisherman reached out his hand excitedly, picked up one silver snake coin after another, stuffed it into the leather bag around his waist, and then raised his head from time to time to take a look at the water surface.
The water was still calm, without any ripples.
In other words... the undead haven't arrived yet?
Chapter completed!
