Chapter 99 Return to Hylia

The negotiation process between Ahri and Abigail was simple and fast.

Businessmen pursue profits, and even though Fortune and his wife have a certain degree of integrity, Abigail still wavered in the face of Ahri's generous conditions.

First of all, the family does not need to move away from Ross Island and their long-standing home, and can continue to run their business.

The Sentinels of Light will not interfere or collect profits, and will even fund them to expand their workshops.

Secondly, the Sentinels of Light will provide protection for the Fortune family. They no longer need to pay protection taxes to local gangs, and they no longer need to worry about harassment by local gangsters, making them safer than before.

In addition, if they agree, Ahri also promised to take Sarah to Demacia to receive a noble education, or to go to Piltover to enter a higher education institution, and study under the principal of Piltover University who is also connected to the Light Sentinel.

Inventor Heimerdinger.

The Fortunes only had to pay a small price:

Ahri will provide them with a batch of native holy stones from Fuguang Island, and they need to make them into holy stone firearms as soon as possible.

If the Sentinel finds a new sacred stone in the ruins of Shadow Island in the future, the Fortunes will also need to forge new firearms for it.

Of course, these Ahri will pay them according to the market price.

It is said that Naga Kapoulos will punish captains who are too greedy and unwilling to pay tribute to the vast sea, so he sent the Abyss Titan.

It makes no sense whether these horrific monsters actually exist.

"Stop, stop talking, don't raise the flag!"

But this probability should be very high, because Planck's temperament is still cruel and arrogant, and he did not pay a deposit to the Fortune couple.

She had already stated a few years ago that if she saw the Blood Harbor ghost committing murder, she would definitely summon the power of Naga Kapoulos to purify the water ghost.

This is a tithe paid to the Bearded Lady, a major event that every captain who goes to sea must do before leaving the waters of Piraeus.

Out of caution in times of peace, Josh first warned Abigail to be careful of Plank going back on his word.

But the fact that they are the "messengers" of Naga Kapoulos is just a fabrication of the Bilgewater people and an insult to the bearded lady.

The Sword Eagle stayed offshore and did not go deep into the black fog to avoid being pierced through the bottom of the ship by the fogwalkers submerged in the tide.

But Illaoi is different.

Staring at the gold coin being quickly swallowed up by the rolling waves, Ahri thought that Josh didn't understand the purpose of what he did, so he quickly explained the legend of the tithe and the Titan of the Deep.

The sentries have already established a temporary camp on the edge of the former ship harbor.

"I'm thinking, you haven't given me a chance to talk in the past three days..." Josh felt even more helpless, "I talked to you a few words about myself today, but you didn't let me finish."

In reality, Ahri tilted his head, "It's weird...what happened to you in the time gap?"

Ah Li pinched Josh's waist, pulled away a little and warned: "I told you not to mess around outside, did you really turn a deaf ear to my words? I am not like that back then..."

Before launching a general attack, they need to test the possible new dangerous areas on Shadow Island again, so as to avoid the casualties of the sentries as much as possible.

"Now we have a chance." Ahri played with a Kraken coin in his hand and kept a calm smile, "We still have a lot of things we haven't done yet. When the ruin is resolved..."

"I've told you my story, why didn't you tell me yours?"

Although the Baru people would pay tithes to the sea when they went to sea, they never personally admitted that Nautilus was the envoy sent by Naga Kapoulos.

As expected, as Josh expected, the owner of the order was none other than the pirate king Gangplank, and there was only more than a month left before the delivery date agreed upon by Abigail and Gangplank.

Josh didn't pay attention, and forcefully put his arm around Ah Li's shoulders, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her forehead gently.

Josh returns with the world rune fragments, and has another high-end combat power that rivals or even far exceeds Ryze. The probability of success in solving the Ruined King is greatly increased.

However, the place Ahri planned to go to was Hylia, which still required several hours of sailing.

This kind of thing originated from one of the four legends of Bilgewater-Nautilus.

Before leaving, Josh specifically asked about the large order that Fortune and his wife were about to deliver.

Anyway, the captains' offerings to the sea are basically equivalent to offerings to the bearded lady, which is consistent with Baru's philosophy. Illaoi has no intention of targeting Nautilus.

However, although the Sentinel organization has a good reputation and the Kingdom of Demacia has the backing, naturally such a major matter that may have a bearing on the future cannot be decided rashly.

Late at night has arrived, and the already dark and terrifying black fog becomes even more terrifying against the backdrop of the vast darkness.

Gwen excitedly looked at the rolling ocean from the side of the boat, while Josh and Ahri stood on the bow of the boat talking.

"You bastard, there are others watching here! Do you want the image I have maintained for so long to collapse and lose face?"

…

Josh didn't know if Gangplank, who became the pirate king earlier than he originally was, would still be shameless and plan to rob Fortune's workshop after the world line changed.

"How many times have I told you, there are so many things you don't know." Josh responded.

Abigail thought about it again and again, and decided to discuss it with her husband and think about it for a while.

At this time, Gwen, who was looking at the side of the ship, returned to Josh and Ahri, "Are you going to tell a story? I want to listen too!"

Ah Li nodded to them one by one and then entered the camp.

After leaving the workshop, he also asked Ahri to send sentries to keep an eye on the family secretly, especially when the transaction date was approaching.

She used the back of her cold hands to cool her face, "Okay, okay, it's my problem... But now we are still a long way from the Shadow Island, and we have plenty of time. Tell me what happened to you.

thing."

The credibility of the pirates was almost zero, and Ahri did not trust Gangplank, so after arriving at the Ross Island port, he sent a sailor affiliated with the sentry to the stronghold to notify the local sentry to protect Fortune and his family.

The deck of the Sword Eagle.

【Tch, pretending.】

The captain and sailors all put on sacred stone necklaces for protection and lowered a small sailboat.

Then, she turned to look at Josh and returned to the topic: "By the way, were you avoiding my question just now?"

Three sailors acted as oarsmen to transport Josh, Ahri and Gwen to the coast.

Seeing the leader coming in person, many of the originally nervous sentinels were overjoyed.

Half of the goal has been achieved for the time being, and there is no point in continuing to stay at Fortune Workshop.

Josh reluctantly scratched Ahri's nose, causing her to pout in dissatisfaction.

Ahri sent sentries before leaving not only to investigate the reason for the early arrival of the Soul Eating Night.

After temporarily reaching an agreement with the Fortune couple, their next destination is Shadow Island.

Just fighting against the black mist with a mortal body, the casualties of the sentries are inevitable.

The Sentinels of Light have been developing for thousands of years, and Ahri believes that it is almost time to launch a counterattack against the Curse of Destruction.

"There are no other sentries on the Sword Eagle. Do these sailors dare to talk nonsense?"

Ah Li was stunned for a moment, her beautiful golden eyes flashing with doubt, "Fu...what?"

Just like another of the four terrifying legends of Bilgewater, the Bearded Lady resurrected the ghost of Bloodhaven, lurking in the dark shadows, always ready to kill those treacherous captains or sailors.

Then, with a snap of his fingers, the golden Kraken coin fell into the ocean in an arc.

…

Josh didn't give Ahri a chance to finish what he said, he directly raised his palm and made a "stop" gesture.

However, they agreed to Ahri and customized a batch of holy stone weapons for the Sentinels of Light.

She paused for a moment, grabbed the gold coins rolling between her fingers in one hand, and stood up close to Josh, her golden vertical pupils full of scrutiny.

As for the Deep Sea Titans…

The Sword Eagle rides the wind and waves.

Josh put his hands on the side of the boat and looked at the sky, "Speaking of which, we have never taken a boat out to sea together like this."

"Oh~~ I almost forgot, there's Gwen." Ahri smiled at Gwen who looked questioning, "I also want to hear more stories about you."

After a few symbolic struggles, Ahri softened, lightly hammered Josh's chest, and said resentfully:

…

"Really?" Ahri recalled the almost non-stop demands and craziness in the past three days, her fair cheeks felt slightly hot, "Well... it seems to be true."

The Sword Eagle is a fast ship, and it only takes less than half a day to reach the edge of the Shadow Isles from Bilgewater.

[Ah? How come I didn’t know about this?] Lunessia was equally confused.

…

The Sword Eagle was about to leave the waters of Bilgewater, but Ahri still broke away from his arms, holding the gold coin in his palm on his thumb.

"Don't worry, this is something I learned in the cracks of time... Before doing something, don't swear that you can do it, otherwise it will easily have the opposite consequences."

"It's just because I'm a sailor that I dare to say nonsense!"

The Baru people don't care what those "little pink faces" think, they will only teach those fools who dare to speak rudely in person.

Levi, the leader of the Bilgewater Sentinel Sanctuary, was sitting around the table with several other female sentinels, talking about something.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of three people approaching. Levi raised his face and greeted them: "Chief, Grandmaster Russell, Miss Gwen."

Ahri was not polite, walked directly to the table, lowered his head and looked at the spread out map, "How is the situation?"

Thanks to the bread man who loves salted fish for the 1,000-point reward!
