Legends of Runeterra

Bilgewater, Slaughterhouse.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the past, the dock is still busy today, but it always gives people a different sense of depression.

The reason was the huge and dark wreckage of a ship that was specially placed on a pile of rocks not far from the pier.

The Abyss, the ship that belonged to the pirate king Gangplank, lay there in tatters, just like the corpses of sea beasts hung high on the dock.

Any ship entering the port of Piraeus can see the wreckage.

It constantly reminds every pirate who sees it that the former overlord is gone.

Today, Bilgewater belongs to the 'Queen of the Sea' - Sarah!

Compared to the deceased Gangplank, "Empress" Sarah showed strength far beyond the former once she reached the top of Bilgewater.

Not only did she have Hextech external reinforced armor that the pirates had never heard of, like a killing machine, but what was even more unbelievable to them was that Sarah had obtained the support of the 'Snake Mother Sect'.

The former only made the pirates temporarily afraid to act rashly, while the latter completely dispelled their idea of ​​"I can replace them".

Anyone who makes a living in Bilgewater knows about the 'Hallowing Night' that is like the 'Sword of Damocles' hanging over their heads and terrifies everyone.

If they angered the sect, they didn't know how they would survive that horrific night.

Therefore, even though the new king killed the old king and ascended the throne, Bilgewater did not fall into a period of constant chaos like last time. Only five days later, Bilgewater was operating normally again.

"Plop~!"

The heavy anchor hit the bottom of the sea and the ship docked steadily in the port.

“Ding-dong~!”

The small bag was thrown out with the beautiful sound of the golden siren and was caught accurately by the captain.

He weighed it, opened it and took a look, looking at the hooded man not far away, and a smile appeared on the captain's scarred face.

“For the sake of the Golden Siren, I’ll remind you for free.

Even though you are quite powerful, in Hong Kong, swimming sharks are not to be feared, but sea snakes lurking in the dark are more deadly!"

"Hoo~!"

The sea breeze blew past, revealing what was underneath the hood.

Her black hair was tied into a braid close to her scalp, and her face was dark reddish-brown, thin, cold, and... indifferent to everything.

"Ah."

The man's voice was just like his appearance, revealing the indifference of someone who had not communicated with anyone for a long time.

"Hahaha~! Goodbye, guest. Welcome to Bilgewater!"

The well-traveled captain didn't care about this oddity at all and just laughed and waved his hand.

...

A certain unknown offshore island, far away from the Port of Piraeus, the sea water becomes clear and blue.

"Wow~!"

The sky was clear and the waves were white. If it weren't for Sarah kneeling on the ground not far away, Li En felt that this place was no different from the holiday island on Blue Star.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Li En walked quietly to Sarah's side.

"Bang~!"

"Li En you..."

Sarah quickly wiped her eyes and looked at Li En in surprise.

Without responding to the other party, Li En performed the worship ceremony meticulously, imitating Sarah's previous worship ceremony.

After closing his eyes and staying silent for a while, Li En slowly opened his eyes.

"Li En, you don't need this..."

"Sarah, you are already mine, so your parents are also mine.

This is how etiquette should be performed, isn't it? "

"You...Puchi~! Hehehehahaha~!"

Staring into Lee En's dark and gentle eyes, a bright smile spread across Sarah's charming face.

"What's wrong Sarah?"

"Ahem~! Nothing...nothing."

"Well...I always feel like you're not telling the truth."

“It’s just some insignificant things, don’t worry about it.

Thank you, dear! "

"Well, you're welcome."

Gently hugging Li En, Sarah's smile was gentle and touching.

Sarah would not say that her "worship ceremony" is also different for men and women, although it is only a slight difference, but what Li En did just now...

But like she said, it's all insignificant.

"Okay, let's go back."

"Wait Sarah."

"Ok?"

Under Sarah's puzzled gaze, Li En gently pressed his right hand on the ground.

"Buzz~~!"

A complicated magic circle appeared on the ground and then quickly disappeared.

"Dear, this is..."

"Protect the barrier. From now on, apart from you and me, and those we allow, no one else can discover this place."

"Great, thank you..."

The slender fingers gently touched Sarah's lips.

"Dear, we don't need to say 'thank you' anymore."

"Well, I'll remember it~!"

After the two of them saluted the tombstone again, Li En activated [Dimensional Walking] and returned directly to the Siren.

"Haaa~!"

Sarah stretched lazily, and her perfect curves were fully displayed in Li En's eyes.

Even though they were often together these days, Li En couldn't help but admire him.

Feeling her lover's gaze, Sarah couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"What a miraculous ability, it came back in an instant, but it's a pity that the swimsuit I prepared is useless..."

"Ahem! Sarah, let's continue to discuss the future plans of Porto Alegre tonight!"

"Haha~! Yes, dear Lord Li En~! Then I will go and handle the official business."

Sarah stood on tiptoe and tapped lightly, leaving a faint fragrance, then strode away.

...

Because she really disliked the humid environment in Bilgewater, Yumi said goodbye to Li En and others two days ago, and asked the magic book to open a portal to leave Bilgewater.

Back in her room, Gwen was sitting quietly on the sofa.

Seeing Li En come in, a smile appeared on her delicate face.

"Li En, you're back~!"

“Well, I’m back.

Gwen, would you be interested in exploring Bilgewater with me again?

This time we don’t need to save the Yodel people, we can just take a stroll!”

"Yeah, okay!"

Gwen nodded repeatedly, and without waiting for Li En to continue speaking, she jumped lightly, transformed into little Gwen in mid-air, and landed on Li En's shoulder.

Li En was no longer surprised by this, thinking it was just a habit retained by Gwen, whose true form was a puppet.

"Haha~! Let's go!"

...

“Ss ...

In front of the diamond-like axe blade, bones and tendons continued to fall apart like thin paper.

The frost-scale armor on his body was already stained with blood and remnants of internal organs. He was tall and strong, with yellow-brown hair and beard that spread out like a lion's mane.

Holding a torch in one hand and chopping with an axe in the other, the man muttered.

Finally, the throat of the sea worm appeared in front of Olaf.

The inner wall of the throat was ridged and large enough to swallow an entire tribe of people, or mince a thirty-oared privateer in one go.

The man thrust the sharp end of the torch into the flesh of the sea worm, freeing his hands to begin work.

He hacked and chopped at the jawbone, and it took him a long time to pry out a tooth.

The man hung the axe on his belt and simply picked up the tusk and carried it on his shoulder.

The exaggerated weight made him take a deep breath, and then the smell of blood mixed with the stench of the sea beast's mouth rushed into his nose, which refreshed the man.

"Like a frost troll moving blocks of ice to build his lair."

He walked out mumbling, wading through knee-deep blood plasma and digestive juices.

Keep moving forward, and finally, the man squeezed out from a huge wound.

The damp, smelly, and sticky air was only slightly better than that inside the giant beast's body.

"Ahem! Pah!"

The man spat.

"Damn it, the sooner I get back to the north the better, I can't stay here for even a day!"

At this moment, the man missed the clear and cold air of Freljord so much that every breath made his bones tremble.

"Hey! Buddy, were you just pulled out by this monster?"

Olaf raised his head and met a pair of dark, warm eyes with a friendly smile.
