Chapter 1080 Chapter 1078
After listening to Lester's words, Elena immediately realized the pressure Lester was under.
It turns out that in a place as beautiful as Runeterra, one can still feel like living in a hive city?
Elena's first impression is:
"Then, isn't Runeterra finished?"
But Lester shook his head, gently stroked Elena's little wings with his fingers, and comforted her.
"If it is the real four evil gods of subspace, Runeterra is really hopeless. I'm afraid you and I can't escape, but I always feel that something is missing. Maybe the situation is not that bad. You don't need to worry too much."
Elena held Lester's fingers with her little hands to prevent him from moving.
"So you have already guessed. What are you going to do? Can you tell me everything? Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep peacefully in your body."
Lester pondered for a while and whispered.
"There is still time before Darkwill is executed. I am going to go to the Anaconda Islands and talk to Naga Kapoulos about this issue. Maybe Naga Kapoulos can answer some of the questions."
Elena's expression was very complicated.
"I heard that you were going to go to Cthulhu to discuss the issue of the evil god of subspace. Do you know that my brain exploded with a bang? Are we really in Runeterra?"
"If the game background designer who alluded to Runeterra really thought of the two heavyweights Cthulhu and the Warp Evil God, even for just a moment, what I want to say is, yes, this is Runeterra.
Oh, I almost forgot, this world also has elements of Baator Hell and demons. Fiddlesticks, who represents the original fear, is still hiding somewhere. If I hadn’t forcefully changed Evelin’s preferences, Evelyn would Fulin, a devil who is cruel by nature and loves pain and torture, can't escape either. "
After telling Elena his worries, Lester did feel a lot more relaxed, but the pressure was on the other side.
"Then teacher, how about we leave now?"
Seeing that Lester still looked like a thinker sitting firmly on the fishing platform, Elena pinched Lester's face with a wrinkled face and found that her teacher looked white and tender, but was actually as hard as boar skin. .
"Didn't you tell me to find a beautiful girl to get some tubes? No need now?"
"Whatever you save will be taken out on me, okay? Go to the Mangxing Islands quickly. I want to have a good sleep tonight. I don't want to bring trouble to the four hawkers in such a beautiful world!"
…
The Anaconda Islands, the Holy Island of Naga Kapoulos.
A heavy fleet composed of magic ships was anchored offshore. Under the protection of the accompanying escort, Sarah, the new Pirate King of Bilgewater, set foot on the land of the Baru people that the "little pink face" was not qualified to touch.
When Sarah and her party officially set foot on the Serpent Mother's Pier, the Baru people and sea beast priests who were waiting on the dock in advance bowed respectfully to Sarah. While stroking their foreheads with their fingers, they spoke in a slightly unfamiliar Noxian way. Yu spoke.
"Honorable Queen Sarah, the True One is waiting for you in the temple. Please allow me to lead the way for you."
Taking off her captain's hat, Sarah nodded slightly, touched her chest and saluted.
"Your Excellency, Garos Sacrifice, your work is done."
"Queen Sarah, please, come with me."
Following the female priestess Baru, Sarah secretly speculated on the reason for this invitation.
Although the Baru people are now regarded as servants of the empire, the empire has not interfered too much in the internal affairs of the Baru people except for establishing magic sentry towers on several key islands in the Mangxing Islands. The Baru people still maintain their A high degree of autonomy.
Because of the good relationship between the Holy Emperor and Illaoi, the true Baru, the Baru people who were included in the empire not only did not suffer any oppression or injustice, but also gained considerable benefits through trade.
Baru has always maintained an inseparable relationship with the Bilgewater Pirate King's fleet that she represents. Her strength does not require Baru to support her like the previous Pirate King Gangplank, so she is I really don’t know why Illaoi the Barujin invited her to the island in such a big way.
While Sarah was thinking to herself, First Officer Hailesi took a few steps forward and whispered in Sarah's ear.
"Captain, just now I noticed that there are many snake callers offering sacrifices on the Baru people's dock. I'm afraid something has happened here. We'd better be careful."
Sarah listened to the words and tapped her chin to indicate that she had heard. Seeing this, Hailesi didn't say anything more and silently retreated to her original position.
We followed Garos all the way to the mottled long steps. As a sacred place of faith dedicated to the snake mother Naga Kapoulos, in order to express our respect and fear for the snake mother, the Golden Temple is both the main temple and the branch temple. The city will be built on high ground near the sea,
The building called the "Golden Temple" by the Baru people is not really made of gold, and its construction materials have nothing to do with the word "gold". In fact, the origin of the Golden Temple comes from the sun.
Looking up from below, the solemn sea-green temple is bathed in the midday sun. The strong wind of the vast sea is carrying the huge waves, beating against the coast and rocks, as if a giant beast of the deep sea is roaring up to the sky, seemingly floating in the sky. The sun rises above the sea, and the Temple of the Snake Mother under the golden sun reflects the steaming and vigorous feeling of the rays, perfectly showing the "eternally moving" nature of the Snake Mother.
This was not the first time she had seen the majestic scenery of the Golden Temple, but Sarah was still addicted to the excitement of this moment.
Facing the increasingly strong sea breeze, walking all the way to the end of the long steps, the sea-blue arched stone corridor pops into view.
Walking through the stone corridor carved with snake mothers and various sea beasts and entering the temple wall, a strong woman sitting cross-legged is facing the door of the temple. She is the sea beast high priest of the Baru people, the only sea beast. The True One, Illaoi, leader of the Baru people.
Illaoi opened her eyes, stood up and faced Sarah and others. After a few polite greetings, Sarah's other guards and the priest of Garos stayed outside the temple, with only first mate Heleth as her personal bodyguard. The guards followed Sarah into the golden temple.
The two parties sat on the futon again, and Illaoi poured a cup of hot tea for Sarah. After Sarah took a sip, Illaoi said in a deep voice.
"Lady Sarah, have you ever heard of the story of the Deep Sea Titan?"
Putting down the steaming teacup, Sarah frowned slightly.
“I’m afraid there’s no one in Bilgewater who doesn’t know the legend of the Titan of the Deep.
It is said that not long after the first dock in Bilgewater was built, a diver named Nautilus drowned in the deep sea because the captain did not pay the tithe of the sea. The steel giant in the world uses huge anchors to punish those greedy people who do not respect the sea and the snake mother,
Of course, I have never met Nautilus in person, perhaps because I pay sea tax every time I go to sea. After all, life is busy enough. For me, it would be better to have less trouble. "
Illaoi nodded and told the secret that only Baruzhen knew.
"Actually, the Deep Sea Titan is not just a legend. Nautilus is one of the punishers chosen by Naga Kapoulos.
He usually stays in the trench and sleeps. When awakened by the Snake Mother, he will decide to save or drown the crew according to his own will, promote the name of the Snake Mother, and awaken mankind's awe of the sea. "
Sarah looked solemn.
"So, Lord Zhenzhe invited me here, isn't it because there is something wrong with Nautilus?"
A look of hesitation suddenly appeared on Illaoi's face. Sarah, who knew the temperament of the Sea Beast Master, felt her heart skip a beat. Things that could make Illaoi hesitate to speak might not be so easy to resolve.
"Does Lord Zhenzhe have something to hide?"
Illaoi let out a breath, stared at Sarah, and said slowly.
"Just a week ago, Nautilus, who was sleeping in the trench, met a giant void creature that looked like a manta ray.
Following the instructions of the snake mother, Nautilus woke up and fought with it to kill it. However, the void creature was too powerful and actually defeated Nautilus. Since then, Nautilus has lost his relationship with the snake. Because of the mother's connection, the trench became a forbidden area for sea beasts in just a week. "
Sarah looked confused.
"You mean, there are void creatures in the Sea of Watchers, and they have defeated the powerful Deep Sea Titan? Will this void creature pose a threat to my fleet?"
At this moment, Hailes, who was waiting behind Sarah, suddenly spoke.
"Captain, I'm afraid that the void creatures that Master Zhenzhe said came from Icathia. Ordinary void creatures will never be the opponent of the Snake Mother Punisher. I'm afraid that the one who defeated Nautilus was the Queen of the Void, Belvi. "
It was no surprise that she, a mysterious female first mate from the Noxus Empire, knew so many imperial military secrets. Sarah understood what Illaoi meant after a moment's thought.
Although it is unjustifiable to force the blame on the Noxus Empire, after all, it was the empire's poor planning in Icathia that allowed Belvis to escape.
Now that Naga Kapoulos' Punisher Deep Sea Titan was attacked by Belvis, her life and death are unknown. As the representative of the imperial power in Bilgewater, she should indeed shoulder some responsibilities.
"If you really have anything to say, just say it. Even for the sake of Bilgewater Bay, I have the responsibility to eliminate potential threats to Bilgewater."
"Since Lady Sarah is so responsible, I will speak out."
Illaoi took out a skin chart of the Serpent Islands and nodded his finger about thirty nautical miles northwest of the coast.
"This is the abyssal trench where Nautilus is located,
Naga Kapoulos left a revelation. The void creature that defeated Nautilus has built a void lair here, killing and transforming sea beasts. Given time, the entire Sea of Watchers may be destroyed by the void sea beasts. When When those behemoths living in the deep sea float to the surface, they will bring unprecedented disaster to the Anaconda Islands.
It is difficult for us Baru people to completely defeat the giant void creatures with our own strength, so I ask the empire for some help and work with me to eliminate the trouble in the Sea of Watchers. "
While the two were talking, another priestess of the sea beast came out of the temple and whispered a few words to Illaoi. The eyes of the true sea beast suddenly lit up.
"It is really Naga Kapoulos's will, Lady Sarah, Lord Lester has arrived here, please wait a moment, I will bring Lord Lester."
After saying that, Illaoi stood up and prepared to leave, but Sarah also stood up.
"I am coming too."
Illaoi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"That's fine."
In order to facilitate communication with the Anaconda Islands, the Noxus Empire's transcontinental magic teleportation array was established not far from the Golden Temple. This teleportation array, which symbolizes the friendship between the Snake Mother and the Holy Emperor of the Empire, is usually operated by sea beasts. The priests and snake callers kept strict watch and could not tolerate any mistakes.
In theory, even with Sarah's identity, she was not qualified to go to the teleportation array, which was more important than the Baju Holy Land. This time, it was Ornn who opened the way and led Sarah to the most heavily guarded place without any obstacles.
When Sarah and Ornn arrived at the teleportation secret place, Lester was about to come out of the secret place. He looked up and saw the two women. His eyes stayed on Sarah. He was surprised at first, and then smiled.
"It seems that you have a good relationship."
Sarah didn't say anything. When Ornn was about to say something, she went straight forward and hugged the man and kissed him hard. The burst of emotions made Ornn's mouth, which had just opened, close again awkwardly. She simply turned around to give the two enough time to pump oxygen to each other.
Seeing that the pirate queen had no intention of stopping, Lester could only pat Sarah's perky buttocks lightly and lowered his voice in the girl's blushing face.
"Don't be impatient, baby. Let's save time for the most appropriate time."
"Hmm~"
Sarah let go of Lester with a coquettish nasal sound, and then took the man's arm and stood with him facing Ornn, as if she had just come here with Lester.
"Ornn, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
Ornn turned around and looked at Sarah, who was like a newlywed girl, without dignity and scheming beside the man. She couldn't help but feel a little envious in her heart, not because she envied Sarah for being close to the most powerful man in the empire, but because she envied the girl's pure and sincere emotions.
Even in the days when she and Gangplank were most affectionate, she couldn't give herself to Gangplank without reservation like Sarah. Of course, even if she did that, Gangplank, the ambitious man, would not give up the road to Pirate King for her. I'm afraid he would step on her without hesitation and use her as a stepping stone to become king.
What's more, she couldn't put a man above her beliefs.
From the moment she carried the golden statue of Nagakabouros, she was destined to never act like a spoiled child in this life.
Just like her body which was stronger than that of a man, she had to be strong and resolute, and always be strong and resolute.
Suppressing the complicated emotions in her heart, she was still a true sea beast.
"Lord Lester, please come this way."
