The Glory of Noxus.

Chapter 305 Nagakapoulos Temple
Seeing Suoke's excitement, Huo Jixing laughed softly and didn't pay attention to the silver snake coins in his wallet.

His current identity is Thok's slave.

Even if he performs well on the Hunter Tooth Pirate Ship, part of the Silver Snake Coins earned will be given to Sok first.

Maybe I thought of this.

Suoke looked at Huo Jixing, and when he nodded, he immediately handed the money bag to his mother.

Although Sock usually seems to still retain the innocence and enthusiasm of a child.

But he has already begun to support the burden of the family and understands the contribution of his parents to the family.

This kind of maturity and responsibility is very rare in Bilgewater Bay, where pirates are rampant.

Barnes' eyes wandered between Sock and Huo Jixing.

Then he stood up, said hello to Aretha, and went to the inner room of the stone house.

When Feder heard this information, his eyes flickered, and he realized that there was definitely something wrong with Huo Jixing's identity.

He and Feder were old friends, and to be precise it was Feder who brought him into the harpooner line.

Huo Jixing's eyes flashed and he showed an apologetic smile to Aretha and Suok.

In the simple room, Barnes saw Feder lying on the hospital bed.

Night falls.

"Xing, do you want to come with us?"

Feder sighed softly. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he also understood that excessive worry would not solve the problem.

Wait until Barnes leaves.

Aretha looked back at Huo Jixing and asked softly.

In the warm and harmonious atmosphere, Huo Jixing put away his inner thoughts and enjoyed dinner time.

"Barnes, do you know who Xing is?"

Suoke turned to look at Huo Jixing, opened his mouth, and finally said with a smile.

Huo Jixing stood up slowly, recalling Aretha's words at dinner, and some information about Bilgewater emerged in his mind.

At the same time, he also told what Huo Jixing was doing on the Hunter Tooth pirate ship.

After Barnes and Feder chatted for a while, he stood up to leave and refused Aretha's offer to stay.

When Feder saw that the atmosphere was about the same, his expression condensed and he asked.

He must believe in his children and believe that Sock can make the right choice.

Then he thought of Suoke's attitude towards Huo Jixing, and he breathed a sigh of relief towards his child.

Barnes was surprised when he heard this, and directly told Huo Jixing's origins and his relationship with Suoke.

"Okay, then be careful and don't offend anyone from the Iron Hook Gang."

His purpose of coming here this time has been achieved.

"If you are in danger, you can report Captain Moreira's name."

As soon as the two met, they started talking very familiarly and whispered their respective affairs.

Maybe it won't be long.

"I'm going to go to the Naga Kapoulos Temple tomorrow morning to pray for your father and buy some healing herbs."

"Slave? Anatomy skills?"

Captain Moreira also gave enough silver snake coins for treatment.

Compared with last time, Feder looked much better now.

Things are getting better for Feder.

Aretha returned to the room and told Thok about the use of these silver snake coins.

Although there were still traces of illness on his face, his eyes were full of energy.

However, he was still wary of Huo Jixing.

"As for Xing, the captain and I saw that he had concealed his identity, which is normal."

The stone house fell into silence again.

Aretha saw Sok chatting with Huo Jixing, brought out the prepared dinner, and everyone began to enjoy the food.

Feder was able to get out of bed, walk, and regain his health.

"I won't go. I'll take a walk around tomorrow. You can go on your own."

"Sock is no longer a child. He can handle his own affairs."

"There are a lot of people like this in Bilgewater."

Barnes spoke at the right time and spoke highly of Sock's performance on the Corsair.

During this period of time, Feder saw that Huo Jixing's temperament had changed significantly, and his body was also somewhat different, and his inner worries became more intense.

Temple of Nagakapoulos.

It is a temple built by the Baru people and has a very special status in Bilgewater.

It also has another name called Baru Temple.

What people on Valoran call the Blue Flame Islands are always called the Serpent Islands in the eyes of the aquatic Baru people.

They have their own culture, and the core of that culture is Nagakapoulos.

The god of life, growth and eternal motion.

People also call her the Snake Mother, the Great Sea Beast, or the Bearded Lady.

Her usual symbol is a huge sea monster head with tentacles coiled around it.

Even after Bilgewater was built, the ancient culture of the Baru people was greatly respected.

It is often reflected in their daily life, and even some cultures are completely copied.

Including traditional medicine and sea hunting techniques.

"It's a god again!"

Huo Jixing had thoughts in his heart.

Although he has set foot in the realm of legend, he has a seemingly lofty status in the continent of Valoran.

But when facing those ancient and powerful gods, he felt as weak as a child.

Recalling Morgana, whom she met in the capital of Demacia, and Janna who protected Piltover. Huo Jixing deeply felt the power and mystery of the gods.

The power beyond legend made him feel shocked and helpless.

Facing these ancient gods, Huo Jixing is nothing more than an insignificant existence.

Because of this, when Aretha invited him to the Nagakapoulos Temple, Huo Jixing refused without hesitation.

He knew that he could not compete with the gods for the time being, and he did not want to take the risk.

Glancing at the night outside the window, Huo Jixing understood that it was almost time and stepped out of the stone house.

He escaped into the shadows and walked forward in the dark and narrow alley.

These winding roads were already familiar to him.

After a while, Huo Jixing came to the Butcher's Bridge again.

This ancient stone bridge spans the cliff and connects different areas of Bilgewater.

Before stepping onto the stone bridge, he looked toward the center of Bilgewater.

It is where the Temple of Nagakaporos is located, and it is also a sacred place in the hearts of countless Bilgewater people.

The temple at night looks particularly solemn and solemn under the moonlight, and many Bilgewater people can be vaguely seen, slowly climbing forward like ants.

Huo Jixing took a deep look at the Nagakapoulos Temple, stepped lightly, and entered the slaughter dock.

He planned to continue with his plan, sneaking into the nearby slaughterhouse and stealing pieces of sea animal meat.

As the night gets darker, the fishy smell on the dock becomes stronger.

In every narrow alley and street of the Slaughterhouse, the gangsters of the Iron Hook Gang were patrolling with great vigilance, armed with weapons.

With Huo Jixing's current strength, he simply ignored these ordinary people, sneaked into the slaughterhouse, and quickly harvested the sea beast meat.

Even affected by the rumors of thieves, the hunting boats that come and go in Bilgewater Bay every day will bring huge amounts of sea beast carcasses.

Huo Jixing is like a ghost, haunting many slaughterhouses.

He used the fire of Nanli to turn countless pieces of sea beast flesh into flesh and blood energy and integrated them into his body.

"Ok?"

While Huo Jixing was searching for pieces of sea beast meat, he suddenly noticed an extraordinary fluctuation.

It was very obscure, but with the strength he had now recovered, he was still aware of it.

"This is somewhat similar to the power in Fedel."

Huo Jixing's heart moved. He looked around at the nearby dark environment and escaped into the shadows.

Slaughter dock.

Reef areas with swollen undertows.

A four-masted ship with ragged sails was moored quietly on the reef beach.

It looks abandoned, with waves swaying nearby from time to time, lapping at the broken hull.

For Bilgewater, every night seemed extra long.

At least since the previous "Bandit King" was deposed, the night has been relatively peaceful.

Occasionally, you can see groups of dock rats baring their blood-red fangs, running across the beach and underground rivers, looking for rotting flesh.

"Help."

Macie lay sprawled on the rotting wooden planks as the waves crashed against the rocks below.

Her heartbeat gradually slowed down, and the two words squeezed out of her throat filled with pus and blood flowed wetly into the sea.

She stared unblinkingly, looking at the shack high up and the stars in the distance.

In the hazy mist, a dark green figure was observing the person in front of him.

He moved closer to Macie and looked at her face again.

Macie's godless eyes pierced through his mind.

[Long hair in the strong wind of the distant sea]
[A dozen people on the deck watched him fall into the sea]
[Then there are the teeth. Not Maciel’s pearly white teeth. ]
[Yes. Sticky, sword-blade-sized teeth staggered across the hull. ]
[My tongue is too slippery, my eyes are stinging with sweat, and my fingers can’t catch anything. I want to go back to the sea]
[The beast's teeth jammed, then pain. Then darkness]
[The boat is gone. So are the eyes]
[Makiye's eyes are that of a boatman. Yes, she was there. She cut my rope. ]
The dark green figure walked out of the mist, holding the serrated harpoon tightly in his hand, and gestured around Macie's body, as if trying to find a perfect insertion point.

Macie, who was on the verge of death, heard the voice in front of her and turned her blue eyes.

Then a look of disbelief appeared in her pupils.

"No, it's impossible. You."

She wanted to speak out, but no words came out of her blood-filled throat.

Click!

The serrated harpoon sliced ​​open Macie's neck, taking away the last breath of life.

Pike kicked the body with his feet and kept staring at his feet.

He kicked Macie's body all the way to the edge of the dock.

With another kick, the broken body fell into the water.

The sharks smelled the smell of blood and rushed over immediately, circling and biting. The ocean never wastes time.

Until everything stopped and the sea breeze brought the coldness of the night.

Pike took out his list and found Maciel's name.

Her name was scratched out of the parchment in bright red ink.

Also the last crew member of the Terror.

[It’s done, there’s not a single name left on the list, just a bunch of red crosses. Where did I get all this ink]
Parker's heart gradually surged with mania, impulsiveness, and dissatisfaction.

At the same time, a monstrous malice arose deep in his soul.

He couldn't stop. There were many, many more people on the deck.
He might have gotten the wrong list or it might not matter at all.

It's just that these guys want him to die in the Sea of ​​Watchers.

With so many people and so much time, why can't we wait?
Pike stopped in his tracks, the serrated harpoon in his hand cutting through the air and making ripples.

Another sound sounded in his mind, not the chirping of birds or the waves.

It wasn't the gnawing of teeth, or the scream in his head over and over again, "You can't stop!"

Nor was it the music he heard in Wandering City many years ago.

It's the sound of footsteps!
