Chapter 856 Ocean Disaster (7k two-in-one)

Chapter 856 Ocean Disaster (7k two-in-one)

Blue smoke manor.

Less than half an hour after the 'tavern conflict' broke out on Baijiu Street, Camille got the news, because Henk and others, representing Plank, were under surveillance by her subordinates from the moment they landed.

Ji Xing was not sent there by her, but she was not too surprised by Ji Xing's actions.

Four nights ago, the two had a dispute that was not a dispute. She knew about Ji Xing's ambitions, her ambition to be on an equal footing with the Philos family and even to command the Philos family, and she knew that Ji Xing thought he He is the strong one.

This did not make Camille too angry. It was better to speak out than to hide, and she fully recognized Ji Xing's philosophy that the world is one of the weak and the strong.

So after the silence, she only said one sentence to Ji Xing: "Prove it to me."

Prove that you are qualified to say this.

Ji Xing happily accepted, and then asked her about the Feros family's recent actions. Camille did not hide anything, focusing on the invitations to Demacia and the Pirate King Gangplank.

She could clearly see that Ji Xing was more interested in Gangplank, and asked her: "Are you inviting the pirates to form an alliance with them?"

She also gave the real answer on the spot: "Of course not, pirates are not trustworthy. What the Philos family needs is a ship, a powerful warship, whether it is obtained through cooperation or something else."

So tonight Ji Xing's actions clearly indicate that the Defilos family chose 'other'.

Secretly getting rid of the people Gangplank sent to investigate. The murderous pirate king would not suffer such a secret loss. She believed that the smart Ji Xing would have prepared multiple actions for this.

If we use the power of the Philos family to obtain Gangplank's ship or even kill the Pirate King, the next development will be even more promising, and Camille rarely feels a little hopeful.

As for Ji Xing's safety, she wasn't too worried after testing Ji Xing's skills that night. Not only could one fight a hundred with that kind of skills, but six pirates couldn't hurt him if he was prepared. Even if there is Planck's second officer among them!

So she waited for Ji Xing to return in Lanxun Manor and explained to her the next actions and plans. If it was really wonderful and perfect, Ji Xing would be given corresponding treatment and status.

But if you wait for the left, it won't come, and if you wait for the right, it won't come either.

Until late at night, Camille finally couldn't help but asked someone to check. They quickly found the cliff where the battle took place and found the smashed body.

This was as she expected, but she couldn't find their chief craftsman in Feros!

Camille had no intention of sleeping that night, even though she didn't really need sleep in the first place.

She was reflecting on whether she had given Ji Xing too much freedom. Would it have been safer if she had directly taken coercive measures after discovering Ji Xing's ambition that night? Because he is a young man with the same talent as Hakim, why did I finally relent?

Her body made of steel was tireless, and she stood alone at the window all night.

When the light of dawn fell, the news she got was not what she wanted to hear, but her blue eyes finally became firm.

"I am willing to dedicate myself to my family."

This is the motto of the Feros family, from which we can get a glimpse of the family’s philosophy. Everything I do is for the sake of the family and for the prosperity of Feros.

Even if there are mistakes along the way, you can make up for it by smashing your body to pieces, all for the sake of the family!

Get ready for evolution day.

…

Night ends earlier at sea than on land.

The windproof lantern on the tentacles of the wrought iron statue on the bow of the boat finally went out, and it was no longer needed to pierce the dangerous fog on the sea at night.

Sarah was sitting in the stern of the boat, one hand resting on the side of the boat, her fingers hanging down to the water, and she was paddling the waves of the sea, half asleep.

Although she didn't sleep all night.

As a famous bounty hunter in Bilgewater and a bounty captain who was feared by many pirates, she was known as Miss Fortune and she actually had a very happy childhood.

She is the beloved daughter of the famous female gunsmith Abigail Fortune, and Abigail is a legend in the world of gunmaking. Her works can be found in the collections of many wealthy merchant captains, but this is also attractive. Got many coveted looks.

It was Planck who took action.

At that time, Gangplank was just a budding pirate, but he had already shown himself to be more evil than other pirates. He asked Sarah's mother to make two unique and stronger pistols for him. When I got the goods after the New Year, I chose to grab them in the open.

It wasn't even for the pistols, just out of pure malice. Her father and mother were shot and killed, and the workshop was burned down. Only the young girl survived by chance, holding on to her injured body and holding the two pistols made by her mother. The gun climbed out of the workshop.

She repaired the damaged pistol, and the pair of guns became her weapons. Over the years, she became famous in Bilgewater Port, and everything was just a preparation for revenge.

When Gangplank made unusual movements, she would naturally pay close attention, and eventually followed Planck's second officer to Piltover.

But what happened next was beyond her imagination. Gangplank's second officer was killed by an inexplicable and mysterious guy, and then the guy invited her and her deputy to have a big fight...

Kill Gangplank? !

Now, they're here.

She looked at Ji Xing, who was lying on his back in the cabin with his hands on his hands, having slept carelessly all night, and said secretly: "People who go to sea for the first time can't sleep well. It seems that he is at least an experienced navigator, but his accent and usage habits None of them belong to Bilgewater, could they be from the Freljord in the north or from one of the sects in Ionia?"

The people in these two places are not simple.

…I’m so crazy that I’m expecting this?

On the other side, Raven, who was sweating profusely from paddling, looked over: "Captain."

"Are you nearby?"

Sarah pulled her fingers out of the sea water and avoided the bite of a strange fish. She wanted to call Ji Xing, but she saw that Ji Xing had already opened his eyes and sat up.

"Hey, man, are you pretending to be asleep?"

"I'm a light sleeper." Ji Xing didn't explain. He stood up and looked at the sea in the distance: "Over there?"

Sarah bent one leg, leaned against the side of the ship, and spread her hands: "Ah, if there is no transfer, Planck's Abyss will be parked in the sea area in front, and it will be intercepted and rushed to Piltover. The husband was on a merchant ship on the Evolution Day, waiting for his broken second mate to come back and report.

Before that, man, can you tell us about your plans? "

"We have already told you about the situation of the Abyss. It is the ace warship that Gangplank snatched from Noxus. A single salvo of artillery fire is enough to destroy a small town." Raven added: "On the sea and It’s not wise to compete with something like that.”

"Landing is also a problem. If you still keep Gangplank's smashed second mate and take their ship, there is still a chance to get closer."

Sarah said: "But now? Plank is the most insidious and cunning bastard on the sea. My and Raven's reputations are useless. As long as this small boat appears within their gun range, Plank will not hesitate to give orders." Fire the cannon, then stand on the side of the boat and laugh as we struggle in the water.”

"So what if he lands? The guys from the Iron Hook Gang around him will never leave. There are at least hundreds of Planck's trusted subordinates on the Abyss, and there must be enough ammunition and weapons."

The two of you said something to each other, and the meaning expressed was very clear. If you don't have a practical plan or show your hands, even if you kill us, don't let us go and die.

There is a difference between death and death.

Although the children of the sea are not afraid, they do not like to be stripped naked and hung on rail poles to dry in the sun for three days and three nights, or to be skinned like livestock and sprinkled with sea water to die alive.

Ji Xing looked at the sea area they were pointing to, closed his eyes slightly, and savored the waves of the sea breeze.

"What is the most dangerous thing on the sea?"

This question made the two of them stunned. Raven leaned on the oar and frowned: "Sea monster? Sea beast?"

Sarah slowly sat upright.

"It's a storm."

She felt a strange wind, and the source of the wind was the person standing in front of her!

The wind grew from light to strong, rattling the sails on the small boat, blowing her crimson hair, forming a clear blue color visible to the naked eye, constantly buzzing and undulating around Ji Xing's body!

It has been half a year since he invaded this world. Ji Xing easily mastered the meditation skills and began to accumulate magic power within a week of his invasion. Two and a half months after his invasion, he learned the secrets of thunder and lightning elemental magic thanks to the war masons of Noxus.

The past three and a half months were enough for him to comprehend other elemental magics by analogy!

When skills can communicate with the gods, the limitations of attributes are no longer limitations. The only things that bind Ji Xing's power are those that need to be accumulated over time.

At this moment, Ji Xing has completely liberated the magic power in his body for the first time. Even if it is far from being able to resist the tsunami in the twin cities, it is still enough to stir up a storm on the sea!

He raised his right hand, clenched it, and the surrounding wind gathered in his palm, and then released it.

The wide-eyed Sarah's mind swayed with the sea water, and she suddenly curled her lips: "They are indeed mages, a bunch of unreasonable guys."

Raven threw the oar away with a bang and was confused. He muttered: "You should have told me if you had the ability to control the wind. I have been rowing all night."

worn out.

But... awesome!

…

No hangover partying before getting down to business.

To be the recognized king of pirates, Gangplank is not only brutal and capable of fighting, but he also has a clear and intelligent mind.

This trip to rob merchant ships was just a casual game. The Abyss didn't bring much alcohol or women, so Plank actually took Philos's invitation very seriously.

Because Feros, because Piltover is very rich, to the pirates, it is a piece of fat that can only be scratched from the sides, but cannot touch the inside at all!

But this time Planck sensed an opportunity.

As the Pirate King of Bilgewater, he sensed the opportunity to be recorded in history. No matter what Feros wanted to do when he invited him, as the Pirate King, what he wanted, of course, would only be the entire wealth of the Feros family!

So at dawn that day, Planck had already woken up.

At this moment, he was wearing a red cloak and sitting on his throne. He was holding an orange in his left hand and a short carving knife in his right hand, peeling it off.

The wrinkle-like face carved by a knife is full of seriousness, which is his unique hobby.

When the orange peel was peeled off, he swallowed it in one gulp, not caring about the juice dripping from the corner of his mouth and sticking to his beard, and looked up at the sea.

The sun was just peaking.

The time he agreed with Henk was to come back before the sun completely rose from the sea level, and Henk was a very punctual guy.

Regardless of whether it comes back or not, the Abyss will make a trip to Piltover before noon!

Thinking of this, Plank suddenly felt an unnatural tremor on the deck beneath his feet. He raised his head slightly and murmured softly: "Is the wind picking up?"

The next moment, he stood up with a gloomy expression. As a pirate who had been at sea for more than twenty years, he keenly felt the unusual changes in the sea breeze and smelled the uneasiness.

There were also experienced sailors on the boat who were already shouting: "It seems the wind is blowing?"

"Hey, it smells like a storm!"

"How is it possible? This place is so close to the land. How could there be a sudden storm?"

"Wait! Look at the sea?!"

"Damn it! Mother Snake is on top!"

The Snake Mother is the god of life in the Anaconda Islands, a true god, Naga Kapoulos.

In the description, she is a gigantic sea beast, covered with winding tentacles, so she is also called the Snake Mother and the Bearded Lady.

Gangplank didn't like him because Illaoi, who had been close to him, joined his sect and became a sea beast priest. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to it and forgot about their feelings.

But when he stood up and looked out to sea, he couldn't help but borrowed faith for a moment in dismay.

‘Bless the bearded lady! ’

I saw that the brightness of dawn was quickly being swallowed up by the dark clouds rolling in from the sky, and the fierce wind around me quickly turned into a howling wind!

The sea surface became rough, but if it was just like this, the Abyss, which had a draft of tens of thousands of tons, could easily withstand it. The real crisis came from the white line in the distance that connected with the sky.

A tsunami as high as a mountain that accumulated at some point or another!

Every pirate who noticed such a scene froze in place, with their mouths open in horror, until Gangplank roared: "Hide back to the cabin! Find something and grab it!"

If you are swept away by the sea, you will die!

After only symbolically reminding his men, Plank rushed back to his captain's cabin on the bumpy deck, kicked out the men who followed him, and locked the door.

What are your identities? Are you hiding with me?

He knows very well that for these pirates, the captain is nothing if they are threatened with death. If they are in crisis together and there is only one good survival point, they will not hesitate to attack him!

Rumble——

As soon as he grabbed hold of the strongest and most stable thing in the captain's cabin, a huge impact came.

The sky-high tsunami completely swallowed up the Abyss, and the entire ship seemed to be swallowed up by darkness.

The hull of the ship shook violently like a roller coaster. Even a man like Planck, whose arms could break boulders, was instantly thrown against the wall!

Fortunately, the material in the captain's cabin is tough enough.

The outside world was miserable. Various facilities and items were instantly washed away. Gangplank heard familiar desperate screams, some of which belonged to his very trusted subordinates!

"Damn it! Damn it! Why did such a storm and tsunami suddenly appear?!"

No longer hoping to stabilize his body, Plank curled up his body to protect his vitals. He rolled and collided in the captain's cabin. Sea water poured in from the cracks and damaged areas in the door, soaking his body.

It was not until three minutes later that Planck, who felt that the boat was gradually becoming more stable, raised his head from the water, looking embarrassed, ferocious, and confused.

it's over? Come and go quickly?

Even though he was accustomed to the capriciousness of the sea, Planck could not accept this absurd situation.

Only one tsunami of that scale came? This is not in line with common sense in navigation. Why? !

He rushed out of the captain's room angrily, and what he saw before him was desolation. Some unlucky guys were directly stabbed through the buttocks by wooden boards, and some were nailed to their own weapons in the chaos.

The body of the Abyss is quite strong, but the elite men under him were easily swallowed up by this joke played by nature. It is simply ridiculous!

Click——

Suddenly, the sound of bullets being loaded sounded from the side. Plank froze, turned his head angrily, and saw the unfamiliar Sarah, who was pointing a gun at him.

"Who are you? Did you do this? How did you do it? Feros's weapon?!"

"I'm Sarah." Sarah said, carefully observing the changes in Plank's expression, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up at the final conclusion.

"Sure enough, you don't recognize me, and you don't recognize the gun in my hand. Very good, I don't need you to remember me, just like my parents who died in your unprovoked malice, you just Let's die like this in confusion at the 'malice' of someone who has more control over life and death."

die? Gangplank clenched his fists gloomily. Even though his body was extremely sore and he had even lost his weapon, it was just like when he fought with the Noxian general to steal the ship. Even if he lost his strength, I can still suppress and subdue a little girl like you!

puff!

However, at this moment, a knife suddenly penetrated Gangplank's heart from behind. Raven, who was behind him, spread his hands: "What's the evil intention? We are acting for God, Captain."

Bang - Miss Fortune's musket was also activated at the same time, and the bullet pierced Gangplank's temple, taking away the life of the pirate king, without giving him any chance to speak back!

In the broken cabin in the distance, Ji Xing casually retouched the surviving pirates as he walked through.

…

"I don't like it here, Al."

The sun is shining brightly in Piltover.

A group of somewhat special guests disembarked from Piltover's West Port and were heading towards the center of the city.

The leader of the men was tall and straight, with a straight face. He was wearing a set of heavy armor. He looked up at the Hex Flying Gate in the tower in the distance and commented casually: "Although it is not pure, this city is indeed full of magic. trace.

I don't understand why His Highness the Prince would value an invitation from a Piltover family and even send me to come to this place in person. "

"Probably because the universal capsule is indeed an amazing invention, and it is not mixed with magic at all? General." The adjutant next to him, who was also wearing armor and was relatively thin and younger, said: "The Gray Lady of Pi City also seemed to make it clear in her letter. I have requested that the envoys should be military generals, because among the items they want to display are important weapons."

"Hmph, our swords and guns are the best weapons. The Forbidden Stone Forest is the best resource given to us by God. When will Demacians need to purchase weapons from outside?" The man's face showed slight disdain and arrogance.

Yes, they come from one of the most powerful countries in Runeterra, Demacia.

Demacia is a powerful kingdom with the supremacy of legal principles. It has great military achievements and a long-standing reputation. Demacians have advocated justice, honor and responsibility since ancient times, and are almost fanatically proud of their own traditions and heritage. However, despite adhering to these noble principles, over the past few hundred years, headstrong Demacia has become increasingly isolated from the world and has become synonymous with isolationism.

However, this situation has improved and changed in recent years. King Jarvan III suddenly passed away, and the major families still did not agree to the succession of his only heir, Prince Jarvan. The internal situation was strange, but they gradually began to interact with the outside world.

The man's name is Jorge Bree, who comes from a meritorious family in Demacia, but he is also one of the main people who strongly disagrees with the young Prince Jarvan's succession to the throne.

Naturally, he was very disapproving of Prince Jarvan's acceptance of the Gray Lady of Piltover's invitation and sending him out. He even wanted to refuse directly. He only agreed because of some other circumstances. Naturally, he was unhappy everywhere.

Upon seeing this, his adjutant advised: "Piltover is known as the city of progress, and it does look very prosperous from a distance..."

"Heh, I think it's not even as good as Mithril City!"

It was a small town in the northwest of Demacia. The adjutant was speechless for a moment and could only follow quietly.

Behind the two men, there were two teams of 16 soldiers armed with long guns. They were more heavily armed and even wore helmets that made their appearance difficult to see.

This unique array naturally attracted a crowd of Piltover people to watch in amazement, wondering about the origin of this team, and also welcoming all the guests who arrived on the Evolution Day.

"Happy Evolution Day!"

Unfortunately, there was basically no response.

Until the team walked out of the dock and saw an elegant woman whose whole body had been transformed into armor.

"Welcome to Piltover, guests of Demacia, and happy Evolution Day."

Jorge Brie, however, looked at Camille who had been transformed by Hex for a long time, and then reluctantly stretched out his hand: "Are you the Gray Lady? Call me General Jorge. Philos wants to show us Where is the new weapon? Who is your scientist named Sevier?"

He casually looked at the Feros guards following Camille. This attitude made Camille frown slightly. She did not expect that the visitors from Demacia would have such an attitude.

It shouldn't be. Could it be that Prince Jarvan couldn't see the hint in my letter?

After a pause, Camille said: "Sewell is still busy preparing some things. General Jorge is tired from the journey. Why not go to Lanxun Manor to take a rest first? If not, you can also come with me to visit the Universal Capsule Factory. .”

Jorge frowned: "Go to the factory."

…

At the same time, MP Tower.

Except for Heimerdinger, who went to find Jace and Viktor, the other six councilors gathered together early in the morning to discuss the details of Evolution Day preparations, but the discussion had nothing to do with Evolution Day.

After all, Evolution Day has been prepared for a long time.

At a certain moment, a congressman wearing a strange mask raised his hand: "The Demacians are here."

Several people's expressions darkened and they looked at each other.

"It's true. The Gray Lady actually invited the Demacians privately?"

"Demacia and the Noxus Empire are mortal enemies. If Noxus finds out about this, what will happen to my business?!"

"The important thing is not business. This will bring crisis to the entire Piltover. The Noxians are a bunch of people..."

The fierce tone stopped midway, and the congressman who spoke looked at Mel awkwardly, remembering that the Myrdal family belonged to Noxus.

Mel smiled softly: "It doesn't matter, I am Mrs. Piltover now, and Myrdal here is also a Piltover family.

But in my opinion, everyone is a little more impatient. We are a progressive city and an independent city-state. We can trade any items with any country in the world. As long as we do not participate in war, we should not be restricted. Besides, isn’t today Evolution Day? "

"...That's the truth." The congressmen were silent for a moment, and one of them said: "But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the Gray Lady's revenge for the masons' attack on Sevier in the last war!"

"Isn't it supposed to be like this? If the way to please Noxus is to give them whatever they want, even if they want to rob the most talented scientists in Piltover... we have to accept it too?" Gila Mann the councilman said.

"Mrs. Gila Mann, please don't express your position." A congressman said helplessly: "Jess Tallis is a mechanic supported by your family, and Sewell was saved by your daughter's shot.

Your family has made a lot of money, but you can’t cut off everyone’s wealth! Noxus is the largest purchaser of goods from the two city-states, and my family business can be fully supported by them! "

"It's not good to only place bets on one side." Councilor Gila Mann commented lightly and then shut up. After all, Caitlin killed a war mason. She had to make some preparations, but she couldn't offend her too much. Someone else.

There was also a brief silence in the conference hall, and the masked congressman pointed out: "Actually, everyone is more concerned about other things. Have you all received the request from Stevan Philos?"

Everyone looked at each other and acquiesced.

Camille made an invitation to the Demacians, and the councilors knew about it in advance because of Stevan's letter to them.

In the letter, Stevan even asked the MPs to help him "correct the style of Philos." He pointed out that due to the appearance of Sewell, Camille was too anxious to lead Feros to a new level, but too much was not enough. If such drastic actions continued, it would only lead Feros into eternal disaster!

As the head of Feros's family, he couldn't sit idly by and do nothing, so he asked these councilor families for help to capture, force or even kill Camille!

And if this meeting can be held, the members naturally have some ideas.

The Gray Lady who maintains the stability of the Twin Cities in secret is a good Gray Lady, but the Gray Lady who comes to the stage and directs the advancement of the Twin Cities directly over the council members is no longer a qualified 'behind-the-scenes controller'.

Should spies from various families work together to try to punish the Gray Lady? Can it be done?

The prestige that Camille has accumulated over the past few decades as the first person still makes the congressmen feel a little weak, and Mrs. Gila Mann does not want to get to this point.

After a moment of silence, she could only speak again: "The letter also said one thing. Mrs. Camille not only invited guests from Demacia, she even invited the great pirate of Bilgewater and the general known as the Scourge of the Sea. Ronk.

I don’t really believe that Mrs. Camille will contact the pirates. Even if she does, it cannot be cooperation, but has other intentions. Now that the Demacians are here, should we wait..."

"Waiting for that ocean disaster?"

The congressmen made eye contact, but they couldn't make up their minds. Will the pirates... come?
