lol: Bind Syndra at the start

Sarah raised her pistol, intending to end the man's second life just as he transformed into the "Phantom of Blood Alley," lest one day in the future she suddenly discover the ceiling is leaking while she's sleeping...

But Ryan stopped Sarah. He looked down at the strange pirate and said, "Wait a minute, I sense a familiar breath..."

Chapter 328 The Deceiving Devil

This was Llane's first time in Bilgewater.

Therefore, he could not have any acquaintances.

Even if there was an acquaintance, it was unlikely to be a pirate whose body was destroyed by addictive drugs.

But he did sense a familiar aura from the other person's almost dried-up body.

"demon......"

Ryan whispered in the dark.

Sindra had no problem with demons, as she had never come into contact with them in her long yet short life.

Many Ionians compare her to a demon-like being.

And Sarah...she had no reaction to the name.

If you line up everyone in Bilgewater and ask them to list the sins they've committed, she can guarantee that at least seven out of ten will have done something worthy of the name "demon."

Ryan didn't care when he didn't get a response.

The reason he chose Bilgewater as his first target wasn't because of Prund's timely appearance.

Without Plunder, there would be others.

Maybe it's a merchant ship, maybe it's a fishing boat...

Lion felt he would find a way to reach Bilgewater.

The reason why he came here was because he still remembered the agreement he made with Kenan.

After slaughtering the main force of Noxus at the Vastaya camp in Navoli and helping Syndra completely sink the Noxian military fortress, the Noxians no longer had any possibility of a large-scale invasion of Ionia.

But they can still play dirty tricks in the dark... This can be proven by the information obtained from the Noxian Idea King and the Fiddlesticks-related props he saw inside the base of Faelor.

If it were Ryan himself, he would not stop so willingly.

For the strategist leader, even if Fiddlesticks couldn't be relied upon, there were always other demons he could count on.

For example...Tahm Kench, whose trace has been discovered by Kennen.

In terms of status, it is on the same level as Swain's crow.

Maybe there really is some kind of friendship between them.

Even if there is no shadow of Noxus, Tahm Kench, as a demon chasing greed, will never let Ionia go.

It's the closest point in the world to the spiritual realm, making Ionians inherently more delicious than humans elsewhere.

Ryan looked again at the pirate who had escaped death in the coffin.

The other person's swollen eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out, and his pale and inelastic skin looked like dried grass.

From the appearance, the other person does not look like a living person.

But the other party was still able to move, and was even stubbornly absorbing air with his still leaking lungs.

A power completely different from Azakana's, yet faintly similar, surrounded this pirate.

It seems that it is this power that allows a dead person to have some of the functions of a living person.

"I have to kill him." Sarah, who was blocked, tried to express her demands.

"He's dead..." This was Ryan's conclusion after observation.

Although the other party can move and even think, he is indeed dead.

"died?"

Sarah didn't believe it.

The one who reacted most strongly to this was not her, but the pirate himself, who shouted with his leaky voice, "I'm not dead!"

"You are already dead."

Ryan said calmly.

He could see that the other person's incomplete soul was like a lit candle, and every minute and every second was a countdown to the dissipation of his soul.

The 'Bearded Lady' at the bottom of the sea may hold some power that can give those who should have died a new way of life.

But remember one thing... In the background story, neither Bloody Alley Pike nor the Deep Sea Titan Nautilus clearly "died". Their experiences were all trapped deep in the sea, and when they thought their lives were about to end, they were affected by some mysterious force.

This is enough to prove that the Bearded Lady does not have the ability to resurrect the dead. Its ability is more like using its own power to transform people before they die, so that they have the ability to survive underwater and more bizarre powers.

Tahm Kench is a powerful demon, but he's not even a top 10 starting demon.

If such a demon has the ability to overturn life and death, then Ryan thinks that the pair of sheep and wolf can go to the eagle and seek death on their own.

Tam's method is like cheating, using the complete dissipation of his soul as a price in exchange for a short "life".

But before the other party dies, it has actually collected its own 'interest' in advance.

"I'm not, I'm not dead! I will gain eternal life, I can escape death!"

The pirate's tone was a little muddy.

It wasn't because his tongue was soaked, but because his soul had begun to dissipate.

"Where did you trade with it?" Ryan tried to seize the time and see if he could get any clues.

"Where...the deal...?"

The pirate looked at Ryan, his eyes like murky wastewater.

"What did you pray to it for? The ability to escape death?" Ryan had a vague guess in his heart.

This pirate must have traded his soul with Tam, and judging by what he said about 'eternal life' and 'escaping death', it can be seen that the content of the transaction was something in this regard.

"Your soul is about to perish. It doesn't grant you the ability to escape death. All it grants you is the complete dissolution of your soul, depriving you of the chance to enter the underworld.

"It's a liar, and I just need to find it. Tell me where you made the deal with it, and I might be able to take revenge on it for you."

"Liar... Two coats..." The pirate's 'life' was coming to an end, and his broken soul could only allow him to hold on for a few more minutes.

And these precious few minutes were wasted in the coffin.

His body, like his soul, has become dilapidated and withered...

But it seemed that Ryan's words triggered his instinctive reaction. He suddenly opened his mouth and roared, "It deceived me! Liar! Tavern!"

'boom'

The pirate's body suddenly exploded, and blood, flesh, internal organs and turbid liquid splashed everywhere.

Ryan, who was well prepared, waved his hand to erect a barrier, isolating the opponent's "self-destruct attack".

But the other party used "self-destruction" as the price, and the information conveyed was of no value.

Ryan turned and asked casually, "Do you know whether Bilgewater has more taverns or ships?"

He didn't expect a response; it was just a metaphor after all.

But Sarah answered accurately, "There are generally between two hundred and two hundred and thirty ships docked in Bilgewater. As for taverns... including the newly opened Tavern of Doom last week, there are a total of thirty-seven taverns in Bilgewater."

?

"You know all this?"

Ryan was surprised.

Sarah, seemingly in a better mood because the 'Blood Alley Phantom' who might have sought revenge on her had become a remnant of White Harbor, became more talkative. "Because the Doom Tavern that opened last week is my business, I did some market research before opening..."

Chapter 329 Sarah's Help

Miss Fortune opened a tavern in Bilgewater?

Ryan hadn't seen any relevant information in the background story, but there was a lot of information that was not revealed in the background story.

Long accustomed to the designer's incompetence, he quickly adjusted his thinking and looked at Sarah with his dark eyes. "Does your tavern have any other services?"

?

Sarah looked at Ryan with a strange look.

His peripheral vision shifted back and forth between Ryan and Sindra.

People always make certain actions subconsciously without realizing it, and these actions often reflect their inner thoughts and other information.

Sarah had been secretly observing Ryan and Sindra for a long time, and had a basic understanding of the relationship between these two strange and powerful people through simple body language.

But Ryan's question made her a little confused.

Aren't these two a couple?

Or are these two people just playing around more?

Bilgewater is a breeding ground for darkness and chaos. When it comes to various ways of playing, the pirates may not be as romantic as the nobles, but their forms are much wilder. After all, they don't have any particular tastes.

"Maybe not the kind you need..." Sarah faltered.

It was almost a recognized custom in Bilgewater for taverns to offer special services, but her tavern did not have such a service.

"What are you thinking about?" Ryan guessed something from the other party's evasive gaze and tone. "I want to ask if the tavern provides accommodation?"

"No... There's nothing outsourced, so how could there be accommodation?"

“Just a nice stay!”

"There are a few empty rooms..." Sarah finally understood what Ryan meant. "The pub hasn't opened yet, and those rooms were originally intended for the staff..."

Her tone was still a little hesitant.

Reason warned her that rashly contacting this powerful person with a mysterious origin might bring danger to herself.

But emotion... or perhaps some kind of luck driven by hatred in her heart whispered in her ear: Having a good relationship with them may make that day come sooner.

Sarah has been in Bilgewater for many years, and her skills and intelligence make her different from the short-sightedness and cognition of ordinary Bilgewater people.

She knew that Bilgewater was not a good place, and the so-called 'Pirate King' was nothing more than a slightly stronger wild dog in front of the real strong ones.

If there really is some big shot who is determined to deal with Gangplank, then the pirate empire that the other party has worked hard to build for more than ten years may collapse in an instant.

She now has a group of people under her command. Most of them are Planck's enemies, and there are also some local people who still have some justice in their hearts.

However, it is possible that a group of ants could kill an elephant.

But to realize this possibility, it often takes time and...luck.

Sarah's thoughts moved faster than time, and she thought through her plan in just a few seconds.

Then she decided to give it a try.

Sarah admitted that there was an element of gambling involved, but every Bilgewater person knows that the bigger the bait, the bigger the fish!

"...If you're willing to make do with it, I can leave those rooms to you for now. After all, it'll take some time to prepare for the tavern's opening, and you've solved a major problem for me tonight.

"Everyone in Bilgewater knows that Miss Fortune always repays a favor!"

The last sentence was Sarah adding drama to herself.

She hopes to convey an attitude, that is, she recognizes Ryan's kindness and is willing to repay it.

There is also a little life hack hidden in this... Sarah knows that many relationships are built by starting with small helps.

"Thank you, we do need a place to stay, and one room will do."

Ryan glanced at Sindra out of the corner of his eye.

I was relieved to find that the latter had no objection.

One month is too long, so he plans to try to persuade and persuade her to see if he can move the time forward.

Last night's progress was a good start. Sindra's will was not as strong as she thought.

As for why you want to stay.

Ryan plans to start with the only clue and find Tahm Kench.

There are more than 30 pubs...if you're lucky, you might be able to find one in a month.

The three people who had agreed to leave White Harbor were ready to do so.
