Chapter 164 Bilgewater
"Miss, why do I suddenly feel that this is your conspiracy?"
Wearing a simple and elegant robe, Riven tied her hair into a small ball. She sat in front of her desk and smashed her mouth. She held her face with one hand and looked at Fiona, who was standing straight in front of her with an elegant figure. She couldn't help but speak. said.
"Why do you think so?" Fiona was reading a book and said without looking back.
Riven looked at the documents on the table, and then at the batch of documents waiting for her to process next to them, with a bitter expression on her face, "This must be your conspiracy."
"Hey, Miss, actually you just don't want to be the dean yourself and don't want to deal with these troublesome things, so you just handed them over to me, right?"
"It's ridiculous. You agreed to become the dean. I didn't force you." Fiona closed the book, put it back on the bookshelf, and then walked to Riven.
She and Riven would really be two extremes in terms of personal behavior.
How would Fiona describe Riven?
Well, he probably just couldn't stand or sit properly. At first glance, he looked like a gangster or a gangster.
This is how Fiona feels about Riven.
Just at this moment, Riven was sitting in the dean's seat, dragging her face with her hands, hunching her back, sticking her butt out, looking lazy, which was really the kind of thing Fiona couldn't accept.
But because Rowan also had the same situation, Fiona slowly changed. Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to help talking about Riven's behavior at this moment.
"How about I return the dean to you? I think it would be good to be a mentor."
Riven couldn't help but say, and she continued: "I like this place very much. The students are not much different from me in age, but they respect me very much, and everyone is very energetic. They will speak out if they are unhappy. That’s what I love most.”
"So now, I'm very unhappy, Miss, I'm very unhappy, can you understand?"
"Why don't you care about my business?" Fiona glanced at Riwen with disdain, raised her legs slightly, and placed her buttocks on the table. Fiona leaned forward slightly, looking down at Ruiwen who looked up at her. Wen said word for word: "If I want this position, I will get it back myself, so I don't need your charity."
"But now I very much doubt that you don't want this position." Riven blinked and said seriously.
Fiona paused, and then silently looked away.
"Look, I was right!"
"You are so damnable, Miss. I don't want to be the dean and handle the affairs of the college, so I leave this responsibility to me. Hey, did you really try your best in the duel a few days ago?"
"Let's not talk about this, Dean. What we should talk about now is who to send to Bilgewater." Fiona picked up a piece of paper on the table, moved her perky buttocks away from the table, and looked at Rui. Wen continued: "Hex Academy, Magic Academy, Knight Academy, we and the Magic Academy were invited to send students to protect the students of Hex Academy to conduct experiments in Bilgewater."
"This is the first time that students have gone on a mission to a strange city-state since the beginning of the school year."
"So, Dean, please put aside those useless thoughts now and concentrate on thinking about how to do this."
Fiona said solemnly.
Riven put the pen on her lips, pouted, sighed and said, "Let me see."
"Deputy Dean Poppy is the leader of this team, right?"
"right."
"Where's Rowan?" Riven's orange eyes turned into cross-eyes, looking at the pen on her lips.
Fiona said with some displeasure: "Please call him principal."
"He's not even older than me!"
"But he beats you with one finger."
"Okay, okay, I'll call him principal, just call him principal!" Riven picked up the pen, sat back, looked at Fiona and said, "You're a fan of Rowan."
"So Miss, where is Principal Rowan? Isn't he going?"
"He has to guard the academy, and he seems to be in retreat recently."
"Retreat?"
"It means practicing."
"Okay, then, we will select the most outstanding students from the Knight Academy, and then Vice Principal Poppy will lead the team. Then the Magic Academy will send out assistant teachers and some students to accompany the students from Hex Academy to Bilgewater. This way is that OK?"
"No problem, you are the dean."
"hehe."
Riven rolled her eyes.
You'd better really treat me as the dean, miss!
I always feel like I'm your tool, okay?
Riven thought angrily.
Time passed, and in mid-July, the Hex Flying Gate of the War College was launched. Hex College selected twenty students, paired with five students from the Knight College, two assistants and three students from the Magic College. Traveled to Bilgewater with the vice-chancellor of the college.
This was the first time for the students of the Zhan Zhan Academy to go out on a mission, and this incident also made the students a little unable to sit still.
I originally thought that I would have to wait until I was about to graduate before I could go out to do tasks, but now I see that I can apply independently!
As long as they apply to Student Council President Orianna, and then President Orianna will give the documents to the deans, and with the approval of the deans of the three colleges, the students can go out to do tasks.
This trip to Bilgewater was initiated by the exoskeleton device club in Hex Academy.
They studied Hex technology and Zaun's alchemy technology, and then prepared to create new inventions that could enhance human abilities.
And they had already made a simple sketch, and after seeing it, Rowan decisively chose to let them out.
What is this? !
This is an external device!
If these things are really researched, then every human being equipped with these devices can instantly become a transcendent being!
This also made Rowan realize one thing - that is, Piltover and Zaun are indeed very weak city-states, and the only demigod Janna is completely incomparable to other places in the world.
Even a chaotic, poor and dark place like Bilgewater has many legends and stories.
However, the upper limit of the two cities is unmatched by other countries in Rune Land.
When technology and magic are combined, just as the people of Piltover always say - the future belongs to Piltover.
The present and the future belong to the Zhan Zhan Academy.
Therefore, Rowan is looking forward to what achievements these guys will make in Bilgewater.
As for whether there will be any trouble?
Now, Zhanzheng Academy is really not afraid of trouble.
As long as it's not a fight between demigods, Rowan can handle it.
Having touched the rule-level realm, he is already a god-like existence in the eyes of mortals.
"The freshly baked giant lantern fish meat, as well as scales and organs, are sold cheaply!"
"Are there any sea hunters who want to go out to sea together? We have a few sailors on the ship. The prey we hunt will be divided equally. The veteran sea hunter team is absolutely fair and impartial!"
"Who the hell asked you to set up a stall here? This is my fucking territory!"
"Fuck, these bastards from the Stinger Gang, fight them!"
On the pier of Bilgewater, blood fell into the sea from the cracks in the wooden planks, but was pushed back by the rising tide. Every time it came and went, it printed deep black traces. The fishy smell makes outsiders nauseous, and the occasional rats as big as cats that appear on people's feet are even more frightening. Maggots crawl around, and the dirt is all over the floor.
This is everyday life in Bilgewater.
At this moment, Zelie was wearing a clean robe, with a band-aid on her nose, breathing in the air of Bilgewater, and then sighed: "It feels like I'm back home."
"Hey, I like this place."
"Are you crazy?" On the side, a student from the Knight Academy couldn't help but look at Zeli and said.
Wearing exquisite armor and a long sword, Carona frowned, disgusted with this environment!
She is not a noble, and she has never claimed to be a noble person, but is this kind of environment really a place for people to live?
The sea monster's organs were placed everywhere, and unnecessary bits and pieces were randomly thrown on the ground, allowing flies and rats to eat, and you could step on maggots and human feces wherever you put your feet. This place is so disgusting!
"That's what Bilgewater is like, Carona." From the side, a student who was also a knight academy said.
He is not a Demacian, but he also joined the Knight Academy of the War College. Before coming to Demacia, he was in Shurima. Because of poverty, he wandered many places, and the children of Shurima .has frequent contact with the people of Bilgewater, so he knows about Bilgewater.
"Stop talking about this, let's find a place to live first."
"By the way, Moss, the ore you want to study comes from the seabed and the surrounding islands, right?"
"Well, this kind of stone is only found in Bilgewater. I did some research and heard that it was produced in the Blue Flame Islands." Pushing up his glasses, the initiator of this trip and the president of the Exoskeleton Device Research Society Moss spoke.
"Principal Bobby, what do you say?" As he spoke, Moss lowered his head and looked at the short girl in front of him.
She is really short, like a dwarf, but the interesting thing is that her body shape does not look deformed. She does not look strange because of her short stature. On the contrary, it is because of her oversized head and cute facial features. Make her look very cute.
Carrying a hammer, wearing chain armor and gloves, her twin ponytails twitching, she whispered: "I listen to you, I don't know much about Hex, nor science, and I don't understand Bill either." Jivot.”
"Then, let's find a place to stay first." Marla, the instructor accompanying the Magic Academy this time, said.
Originally, Mu Lang and another mentor were accompanying him this time, because Mu Lang has a stable character, but because Mu Lang's magic is not suitable for combat, so in the end, they were replaced by Ma, who has a bad temper and is easy to be impulsive, but his abilities are very suitable for combat. Erla came to be the accompanying tutor.
As the group walked along the main road in Bilgewater, the Demacians couldn't help but make a sound.
"This place really looks like Zaun. It has the same bottom-up architectural style, and there are canyons, ravines, and the sea."
"Looking at the appearance, they look similar, but they are completely different, okay?" Zeli, who is from Zaun, couldn't help but say.
She hugged her chest and hummed and continued: "The order in Zuan is much better than here. Although Zuan used to be chaotic, compared with here, ours is a civilized city."
"Can this be compared?" Several Piltover students from Hex Academy whispered.
"Of course it's worse than the mess in Zaun. It's not because of us, but because of you. The reason for the mess here in Bilgewater is because they don't like to be clean." Zeli said seriously.
They certainly attracted a lot of attention.
But looking at the several Knight Academy students who were fully armed in the team, the locals in Bilgewater resisted the urge to come up and cause trouble.
Because these people seem to be really difficult to mess with.
Of course it won't be easy to mess with.
Everyone who can join the academy must be vetted, especially those from the combat department, who are all talented people.
First-year students from the Knight Academy are sent to Demacia's army, and they can go on the battlefield after two months of training!
Therefore, although he received a lot of cold looks along the way, no one really dared to come up and cause trouble.
This also made Zeli a little disappointed. She was planning to release her magic for others to see!
After several months of training at the War College, and with Lux's training, Zeli has been able to perfectly cast her magic. Although she still has a problem, that is, insufficient magic power, and it is easy to run out of power and become empty in her body, but her magic It has been able to achieve large-scale lightning strikes.
For example, in Bilgewater, if Zelie wants to, she can instantly split a thunder column as thick as a bucket.
Wow, it’s exciting to think about something like that!
Soon, everyone headed up, led by Yamu, a Knight Academy student who was familiar with Bilgewater, and arrived at the heights of Bilgewater.
"There is a saying in Bi Island, which is that the higher you climb, the less likely you are to drown. As you have just seen, people at the bottom can only live below, next to the sea. In Bi Island, the cusp of the storm is not just a description. Their adventure in business is also their daily life.”
Yamu led the way and soon arrived at a tavern.
Drunk drunkards gathered around.
"These guys should have been thrown out by the people inside because they had no money in their pockets," Yamu said.
"In Bilgewater, money is king. As long as you have money, it's impossible for the islanders to live without what you want."
"It's much better up there than down there."
"Can we have some drinks later? The funds should be enough, right?"
"Hey, hey, Demacia's gold coins can't be used here in exchange for things. President Orianna approved a few gems for us, but that's the money we need to recruit people from Bee Island to help find materials. , we are not here to enjoy it.”
The students walked into the tavern while communicating with each other.
This tavern can be used for accommodation, drinking and entertainment, but after entering, the smoky smell, sweat smell, cigarette smell, and fishy smell all mixed together, making Zeli pinch her little nose.
The same goes for Poppy. She covered her mouth and nose with both hands, but her big purple eyes were looking into the room with light.
This is her first time leaving Demacia!
So many people came in at once, which naturally attracted the attention of the person in charge of the tavern.
A woman with red hair and a corset was sitting on a chair, holding a wine glass with one hand, shaking the red wine in it, and squinting at the people coming in from the second floor.
"who are they?"
"I don't know. They suddenly got off the boat and arrived at Bilgewater in ten minutes." Beside her, a man said.
"There's still a big group of outsiders." The woman laughed, very wildly.
She raised her hand to comb her hair and said with a smile: "Send the news and tell those guys that these fat sheep belong to me."
"Yes." The jingle rang, and the man raised his head. The sound just made was the sound of the pendants on his ears clashing.
Naked to the waist, with dense snake-shaped tattoos all over his body, with a hunting knife and a short gun on his waist, he left the woman.
After the man left, the woman sitting in the seat first picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and boldly wiped the corners of her lips with the back of her hand. She stood up and walked downstairs with her short boots.
This is Bilgewater.
But now, half of this island belongs to her.
The other half will soon be hers too.
so,
This is her territory.
