lol: Bind Syndra at the start

She raised her arm and pointed downwards. Below the cliff where they were standing, a long dragon of fire stretched for dozens of meters.

The technological level of Bilgewater is roughly that of the Middle Ages, with kerosene lamps and steam-driven mechanical devices everywhere. However, as the "masters" of Bilgewater, the pirates have their own persistence and traditions.

For example, they like to use torches at night.

This is a custom passed down from hundreds of years ago. It is said that fire can scare away potential evil beings and allow pirates to sleep peacefully on the dark sea.

"It's Bjerg!"

The preacher recognized the flag in the team, which was a huge sea monster shaped like a shark.

"The biggest pirate besides Gangplank." Sarah also knew about the Björk Pirates. Because of their great reputation, there was no need for her to find out anything specifically.

Since the generation of the current pirate leader's grandfather, they have always been the most powerful pirates except for the Pirate King, without a doubt.

"It seems that he is going to attack us..." the preacher whispered.

"No, I think he's going to make a move on the position of Pirate King."

Sarah looked at the center of her palm.

From the long queue below, it can be seen that Bjerg seems to have taken out all his tricks. The people behind him may not be able to last even one round.

but......

"Hope you can create a miracle..."

......

......

Bjerg is not a big man. If you ignore his last name, he looks no different from the workers in the processing plant.

But anyone who knows him will not look down on him because of his ordinary appearance, because he is different from his unlucky father.

His grandfather left his father a rich inheritance, but his father did not allow this "wealth" to accumulate further, but quickly squandered most of the inheritance...

This cowardly behavior made the Bjerg Pirates regarded as easy prey by other big pirates for a time, but at the most critical moment... Bjerg III stood up.

At the age of seventeen, he chopped off his head with his own hands, and with his iron-blooded wrist, he brought the declining pirate group back to life.

It was he who helped the Biege Pirates regain their second place, and now he is about to become the first!

Bjerg looked towards the cliff not far away, where many figures were standing.

He told his men to speed up and smiled cruelly, "I really want to know what Miss Fortune's flesh tastes like..."

'Bang'

Bjerg didn't finish his words.

Because he was hit on the head by something.

The big pirate was stunned for a moment, and before he could figure out what hit him.

Suddenly he found that the ground beneath him was shaking, and a strange tree was wrapping around him like a python.

A dark purple light blooms in Bilgewater at night.

The tree thief, who had been sleeping for a long time, finally woke up in a foreign land, and from the darkness, it heard Ryan's instructions:

"We're having a buffet tonight."

Chapter 363 Vampire?

"what!"

A shrill and strange cry rang out in the team.

The ancient pirate heritage was not as effective as the rumors said. At least now the fire did not drive away the strange tree that appeared from nowhere.

The brave pirates dared to fight back with the torches in their hands. They threw their own torches and those of others at the evil tree as weapons.

But more pirates were like vulnerable and undisciplined rogue armies, joining the chaos within seconds of the occurrence.

The magnificent and huge team, like a long snake with flames swaying all over its body, fell into chaos in an instant.

And because they were located with a steep cliff on the left and the coast directly on the right, the chaos was further exacerbated.

Some people wanted to go forward, some wanted to go back, but the road was very narrow. The passage, which could only accommodate three adults at the same time, seemed to have become a single-plank bridge under the pushing of the disorderly team.

The pirates fell into the icy sea like dumplings.

The good news was that most pirates could swim. Aside from a few unlucky souls who were hit by those who jumped in later and eventually sank to the bottom, most pirates, though shivering from the cold, were still able to stay afloat.

The bad news is that after the other pirates discovered that they could escape danger by jumping into the sea, they also began to jump into the sea on their own initiative.

Facts have proven that stampedes can occur not only on land, but also on the sea as long as there are enough people.

The tree was still growing. Ryan's generosity meant that it didn't need to worry about 'auxin'. The thick trunk exceeded ten meters in height in an instant.

The branches and leaves that subsequently grew luxuriantly became the 'hands' and 'bullets' of the tree thief...

Apart from the unlucky pirate who was suffocated to death by the rapidly growing tree, every sweep of the branches and every flutter of the leaves were fatal attacks to these small pirates.

The pirates' torches and bullets would be immediately bounced back when they touched the tree bark, as its bark had long been alienated under the nourishment of darkness.

The bullets couldn't even leave a dent in it, and as for the torch...it was quite warm, like basking in the sun.

With huge strides, Shujian walked back along the aisle. The pirates' wailing seemed to keep pace with his movement. Before ten minutes had passed... there was no pirate left standing on the shore.

The scarlet blood turned into some kind of nutrients and was absorbed by the tree vine... This scene looks a bit weird, but this weirdness is due to the human perspective.

From the perspective of the tree thief, it is natural for it to absorb the blood just as it is natural for humans to eat vegetables.

As it turned its sights towards the pirates in the water, another group of people finally arrived at the scene.

Sarah's eyes were filled with complex emotions such as astonishment, fear, and curiosity.

As for the Baru people...their living environment determines that they have an inexplicable worship of the strong, and Shujian is undoubtedly a strong man.

Each of these burly men covered in tattoos was as honest as a well-behaved young lady.

Sarah was the first to muster up the courage to walk over, but she eventually stopped three meters away from the tree.

Ryan and Syndra are also very powerful, especially Syndra, whose strength far exceeds that of Shujian, but because they are all human beings, Sarah is more in awe of them.

But Shujian is different...

The black bark has a metallic texture, reflecting a dark purple light from certain angles under the moonlight. The hideous branches look like dense tentacles, and the leaves are indescribable devil fruits.

This appearance makes every human who approaches it feel a sense of fear in their heart.

"Can you let them go for now?"

Sarah's voice trembled.

The tree thief looked at her, and the two empty tree holes were like its eyes.

It has no words.

Instead, it shook the leaves on its body. The rustling sound gave Sarah goose bumps, but the huge figure that made her tremble began to shrink at this time, and then turned into a seed again.

This time, Sarah was more careful when picking up the tree seeds. After she had packed up her supplies, she looked at the pirates in the sea.

This time, there was only confidence in her eyes, "Maybe we can speed up..."

Sarah looked at the Preacher. "Our goal is to greet every major pirate tonight. Of course... Bjerg's treasure trove will be our biggest prize tonight."

...

...

A pleasant evening always makes people forget the passage of time.

When Ryan appeared in the lobby of the tavern again, he happened to meet Sarah, who looked exhausted.

A strange excitement was revealed on her tired face. She had almost run all over Bilgewater last night. After seeing the imprisoned Gangplank and Björk III with only half of his head left, the big pirates all gave Sarah the warmest welcome.

Of course, there are some who won’t cry until they see the coffin, but Shu Jian is not picky about food…

"We succeeded... No one in Bilgewater will stand in my way. No matter what you want me to do in the future, I will cooperate and obey."

Sarah carefully handed the tree seeds to Ryan.

Although the latter said he did it for no reason, Sarah made the promise again.

The people of Bilgewater don't really believe in kindness. Even Miss Fortune believes that profit is the most solid glue.

"Where's Planck?"

Ryan took the tree stalker.

There is a faint trace of blood in the grooves of the seeds, which are nutrients that have not been fully digested.

He was already looking forward to the meeting between Shujian and Jera. It would definitely be a friendly plant meeting.

"I will execute him tomorrow night!"

Sarah's hatred for Planck did not disappear because of last night's victory. It was a hatred that only death could erase.

But then she suddenly remembered why she had rushed back.

"By the way...we found a strange 'person' in Bjerg's treasure trove last night."

"How weird?" Ryan was curious about all kinds of weird things.

Because these oddities often involve other heroes or stories.

"He looked human, but his skin was extremely pale... and he was afraid of the sun."

"Vampire?" Ryan remembered this species, but he didn't remember such creatures in the Rune Universe.

In the original background story, Vladimir was indeed a vampire, but the story was later revised... the official erased the vampire setting.

and so…

Ryan looked at the confused Sarah and changed the word "blood slave?"

This is a group of humans twisted by blood magic. They are different from vampires, but have many similarities.

More importantly, their appearance may point to traces of the Darkin.

"You know them?"

"Maybe you know. Take me to see it."

Chapter 364 Vladimir's Servant

The treasure house of the Bjerg family sounds very mysterious, but in fact it is just an ordinary warehouse built by the sea.

Before the fall of House Björg, this was one of the most heavily defended locations in Bilgewater, and now it serves as Sarah's logistics warehouse.

As usual, Sindra did not come along... She was not very interested in 'vampires' because in her previous crazy dreams, she had seen many creatures that sounded even more twisted and crazy than vampires.

Could a human being who fears sunlight and relies on blood sound more outrageous than a chicken who can play basketball?

And won't!

When Ryan followed Sarah here, he saw many unfamiliar figures.

"They are my men..."

Sarah introduced the group.

They are a group of people who have suffered hardships and can barely maintain a normal mentality.

Such people are rare in Bilgewater... no, in the entire Runeterra.

Because in this disorderly world, more people's first reaction after suffering is to make others more unfortunate than themselves.

This group of people seemed to have already known who Ryan was. They saluted Ryan in unison, but the curiosity in their eyes was still clearly visible.

The name of darkness is spreading rapidly in the darkness. Almost one-fifth of the people in Bilgewater learned about the existence of the dark power controller for the first time tonight. This knowledge will accompany them for the rest of their lives, and perhaps it will become a new story to be passed down to their children and grandchildren.

If Ryan had taken the path of believing in God, he might have gained a lot of supporters, but since he had mastered darkness, he did not need these weak power boosts.

So Ryan just nodded to them in response, then looked at Sarah and asked.

"Where are the blood slaves?"

"Innermost..."

Miss Fortune looked puzzled. "Our men couldn't restrain him, but we have him surrounded."

She led Ryan inside.

The interior of the warehouse is much more complicated than it appears from the outside. Layer upon layer of towering iron gates divide it into several areas.
