[0158] Motivation to make money
Thresh's sudden escape made Yasuo a little dumbfounded. He instinctively felt that something was wrong here, but after much deliberation, he could never find the problem. In this case, Yasuo could only scratch his head.
Put Thresh aside for now and focus on the remaining undead.
After all, he promised Sarah to help Bilgewater survive this soul-eating night. Yasuo has always been honest and trustworthy, and he will do what he says.
With this thought in mind, Yasuo happily ran into the densely packed undead, slashing and scurrying back and forth, feeling windy as he walked - he swore that this was really not because he could not refuse the temptation of the Qing soldiers.
And just when Yasuo was humming a little tune and starting to feel happy, Lucian, who had just been rescued by him, was not happy at all.
Thresh ran away, and Lucian felt a little empty - Thresh ran away. He was a little lost, a little lucky, and a little unwilling. These complex emotions were blended together and turned into a darkness on his face.
After hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly gave up the idea of continuing to cause trouble for Thresh, and rushed into the mighty undead army with a pair of weapons.
Lucian needed a little fighting, a hearty fight, to vent the complicated emotions in his heart.
The Holy Light, who could only scratch against Thresh, showed amazing combat effectiveness when facing the undead fish. Unlike Yasuo who only relied on his own cultivation to resist the undead curse, Lucian looked physically fit.
Normally, he didn't have any special abilities. With just a pair of pistols, he turned the slaughterhouse into a long slope. Under the baptism of the holy spear, the undead were quickly melted.
If Yasuo needs considerable skills and proficiency to move around among the undead army, then Lucian's trigger-pushing, brainless fighting style is much more violent.
Facing the tide of undead, Yasuo found every opportunity and easily found the right path by stepping forward, and then harvested all the cursed souls along the way; while Lucian opened the way with two guns and directly opened up a path of his own.
The road directly cut through the crowd of undead.
Lucian's performance when facing the undead fish was a surprise to Sarah, who had been watching the show for a long time.
……………………
There is no way, if she hadn't seen the performance against Thresh just now, Sarah might have thought Lucian was stronger!
Seeing Lucian once again killing the undead army, Sarah was firing freely, the more she looked at Lucian, the more greedy she felt.
Of course she wasn't lusting after Lucian's body—until now, she couldn't even see the other person's face clearly—she was lusting after Lucian's weapons!
Those two guns... are really effective when facing the undead.
Even if Sarah tried her best to get herself a big drum and prepare holy water, in front of the undead, her two pistols were like water guns, and they had to be fully fired to have any effect.
This kind of full firepower cannot be used at any time - if it happens again in a short period of time, Sarah's double guns are likely to have mechanical failure and then jam directly.
But Lucian's two weapons are different.
It had only been a while, but Sarah had already seen him perform several full-fire combos...
If I can have these two weapons, then the pressure on Bilgewater will be much lighter in the future Soul-eating Night!
As the well-deserved richest woman in Bilgewater, Sarah felt that she needed to have a good talk with Lucian.
……………………
"Hey, young man." Taking advantage of Lucian's opportunity to fight back to the dock again, Sarah raised her gun and killed a ghoul who was trying to sneak attack behind him. "Can I ask where you got your weapon?"
"call--"
With Sarah's help, Lucian, who was killing to vent his anger, finally let out a long breath. He narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Sarah, who was also holding two guns and firing as much as he wanted. The corners of his mouth were barely visible.
and pulled it down.
She's a nice girl, but she's too white.
"Holy stone weapon." For the sake of fighting side by side, Lucian still revealed a little bit of information with as much preciousness as gold, "Ancient relic."
The word ancient relic made Sarah feel suddenly cold.
Sarah, who knew nothing about the Rebirth Order or the Blessed Isles, heard the word "ancient ruins" and her first reaction was to those ancient magic items from Shurima.
And as long as those items are confirmed to be genuine, each one of them can fetch a shocking price at the Piltover auction.
Those prices... Sarah generally can't afford them.
No matter how rich a pirate is, she is still a pirate - Sarah is still far from a real business tycoon!
In Bilgewater, the largest currency used by people is the Silver Snake Coin - but in Piltover, Gold Hex has long entered the daily circulation of wealth. When it comes to being rich, the people of Piltover are completely confident.
He said, "Everyone here is rubbish."
In the entire Bilgewater, only Gangplank can be called a wealthy man. Years of accumulation and plundering have filled his warehouse with treasures. Speaking of available liquidity, he may be able to negotiate with Pi.
The big chaebols in the city are on par with each other.
Unfortunately, with the wave of flames, Gangplank's treasure has completely disappeared along with his people. As the successor, Sarah has not yet begun to accumulate wealth of her own, relying only on the Siren.
A year of trading in Ionia was not enough for her to have enough wealth behind her.
Therefore, objectively speaking, although Sarah is the richest woman in Bilgewater, if she were in Piltover, her wealth would probably only be as rich as that of a small or medium-sized family...
The financial resources of small and medium-sized families are not qualified to invest in ancient magic items at auctions - in fact, if Sarah is really rich enough, she can completely replace her personal guards with a set made of forbidden magic stones.
As for weapons, although Demacia is relatively closed, there are still many forbidden magic stone weapons entering the market.
It's just that there is often a price but no market.
So, if it weren't for not having enough money... do you think Sarah would let Raven use this holy water of unknown origin to fool things around?
This is a matter of life and death!
At this moment, the flame called "desire for wealth" finally began to burn brightly in Miss Fortune's heart.
After secretly making up her mind to make more money, Sarah gathered her emotions and looked at Lucian again.
"So, this gentleman——"
"My name is Lucian."
"Okay, Mr. Lucian." Sarah showed a charming smile, "Are you interested in becoming a captain?"
