I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

"Of course you haven't heard of it, after all, this deity was only born today."

"And this deity is standing right in front of you now."

Li Ang secretly grumbled to himself.

Since Nagakaporos can have a long list of nicknames such as "Bearded Lady", "Snake Mother" and "Goddess of Baru".

Why can't he, the King of Ruin, have a resounding nickname?

As for why Leon didn't just tell Parker that he believed in the Great Broken King.

Isn't that obvious?

Bilgewater was the first to be affected by the Shadow Isles' black mist!

While not many people in Bilgewater know about the King of Ruined King, they are not entirely unknown.

If Li Ang dared to say that he believed in the King of Ruin, he would probably be considered a madman on the spot.

.....

"I come from a country in the south."

"The Dark Lord's status there is similar to that of the Bearded Lady now, or even surpasses it."

In response to Parker's question, Li Ang answered calmly.

That's certainly true. On the Shadow Isles, who would dare to contradict Feuergo if he said one thing?

"I see."

Parker had no doubt about this, after all, he was just a roughneck who was easily taken advantage of by his lack of education.

Immediately, Li Ang took a black cross off his neck and handed it to Parker.

"Take it. Wearing this cross will grant you the protection of the Dark Lord."

"It will save your life in a critical moment."

Li Ang said with a light laugh, giving people a gentle feeling like a spring breeze.

"this......"

Parker seemed somewhat hesitant.

But in the end, he accepted the pure black cross.

After all, for these outlaws, having faith in multiple gods doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

Having established initial trust with Li Ang, Pike chose to believe him.

The moment Pike accepted the cross, it was clear that the Bloodharbor Ghost would likely never appear again.

......

Sarah overheard this conversation.

Sarah looked at Leon and immediately felt that this man was full of mystery.

His superb swordsmanship (as Sarah thought), handsome appearance, strange white hair, and unfamiliar faith.

This is truly an enigmatic man.

Sarah sighed inwardly.

Unconsciously, Sarah looked at Leon's right hand, which was wrapped in white bandages, and the huge copper ring with intricate patterns on his right wrist.

A sense of curiosity arose in her heart.

What kind of arm is hidden beneath these pale bandages?

Why is this man wearing such a huge copper ring?

It was as if something was sealed on his arm.

Although she was curious, she rarely asked the question.

Because Sarah knows that everyone has secrets hidden deep in their hearts.

Just as she never told Li Ang about the deep-seated hatred she carried.

Sarah believed that one day, Leon would tell her the reason.

There's a saying that's true: when a woman becomes curious about a man, that's when she's about to fall for him.

(Regarding the question about Poppy staying up all night, Vigus will appear in later episodes, but it's not her turn to appear yet.)

(In the backstory, Vigus followed the black mist that invaded Bandle City to the Shadow Isles. As mentioned earlier, Folyago consciously controlled the spread of the black mist, so it has not yet reached Bandle City.)

(This "tanking" Poppy will appear after the Bilgewater arc ends!)

Chapter Thirty: Oath to the Great Dark Lord

The ship finally docked at the shore, indicating that the Fear's voyage had ended without incident.

Next, the captain will distribute wages to each sailor based on their performance.

Pete only gave most of the sailors ten silver snake coins, which was the basic wage.

After distributing the gifts to everyone, Pete walked up to Sarah.

"Little girl, this is what you deserve."

Pete held out his hand, in which lay twenty neatly arranged silver snake coins!

"Is this for me?"

Sarah was somewhat incredulous. She had thought that as a novice who was just going along for the ride, she would at most receive a "consolation prize" on this voyage.

Unexpectedly, she received a reward of twenty silver snake coins!

"Thank you!"

Sarah accepted the payment with some excitement.

This is not just twenty silver coins, it also means that this girl now has the right to live in Bilgewater!

She is already a sea monster hunter.

Sarah didn't need to get so worked up.

She truly deserves this money.

This is a classic case of those involved being confused, while bystanders see things clearly.

If she hadn't pierced the sea monster's eye with a harpoon at the crucial moment, the sea monster might not have been captured successfully.

You should know that Pete could earn at least ten Golden Krakens just from this sea monster!

Giving ten more silver snake coins is just a drop in the ocean.

Finally, it was Leon's and Pike's turn.

Everyone understood that these two were now the absolute main force on the Fear ship.

Even if it's just to win people over, these two will definitely be paid handsomely.

A flicker of pain crossed Pete's face again, and then he pulled a money pouch from his pocket.

Through the gaps in the purse, one could see a shimmering golden light shining inside.

Pete took out ten gold siren coins from his purse and gave five to Leon and five to Parker.

This is a fairly fair price; a flying fish is worth about 10 silver snake coins.

During the flying fish swarm, Li Ang stunned at least a hundred flying fish, which was absolutely worth the five golden sea monsters.

And Pike goes without saying; if it weren't for Pike's persistence, they wouldn't have been able to catch that sea monster that was over ten meters long.

After distributing the payment, Pete exchanged a few more polite words and then turned and left.

Everyone knew that it was time to rest.

They could enjoy their time in Bilgewater until Pete sold the game for a good price.

The sailors shoved each other as they headed toward the tavern, clearly intending to drown their sorrows in alcohol.

"Want to grab a drink together?"

Parker invited Li Ang, an attitude that represented his approval of Li Ang.

"I'll pass. Have fun, you guys."

Li Ang shook his head, politely declining Parker's offer.

"OK then."

Seeing that Li Ang refused, Pike didn't say anything more, but turned and walked towards the tavern.

Now, only Sarah and Leon remain.

......

"that......"

"Li Ang... could I... buy you a drink...?"
