Chapter 176 [0174] Kill without Burying

Lux never expected Sarah to be so frank; and what she didn't expect was that Sarah, with her thick eyebrows and big eyes, would only care about killing and not burying - it's easy to kill Gangplank, but what about Bilgewater afterwards?

"I thought you had a plan." Lux picked up a piece of bread and dipped it in the seafood soup, "If it's just for personal revenge... To be honest, I'm afraid I won't provide any help."

"?"

"If you are willing to consider the future of Bilgewater after dealing with your personal problems, then we may be able to talk." Lux stuffed the bread into his mouth and mumbled, "If you really don't know what you want, I recommend you go talk to Illaoi. Although she looks fierce, her trial is indeed very effective."

Sarah looked at Lux with some doubts. For a moment, she didn't know whether she was joking or serious - in Bilgewater, there are indeed some desperate guys who go to Illaoi to accept the trial, but their result is that they lose their souls, turn into a stone statue, and are thrown into the tide by the priest.

Lux's suggestion sounded like asking for her own death!

"Although it sounds dangerous." Lux was eating happily, "but at least it can help you get out of hatred - hatred is motivation, but it is also the dark claws that drag you into the abyss. Since you have a plan for revenge, you should at least think clearly about the future after the revenge."

This paragraph of words said by Kalya and repeated by Lux made Sarah fall into deep thought.

Recently, Sarah has been repeatedly confirming her revenge plan, but as Kalya said, she actually didn't think about what to do after the revenge.

Sailing out to sea on the Siren?

Or becoming the new king of Bilgewater?

Or simply self-destructing when the fire is burning?

Sarah suddenly had a headache.

Hatred can bring motivation.

But hatred itself is also heavy.

No one knows this taste better than Kalya.

In the solemn atmosphere, Sarah's meal also arrived.

But she obviously had no appetite.

In line with the principle of not wasting food, Lux asked and then pulled her portion in front of her - although it was not very tasty, it was still edible.

While feasting, she also helped Kalya convey a few words from time to time, and every time Kalya said a word, Sarah fell silent.

After Lux finished three meals, Sarah finally raised her head.

"Did the priest teach you these words?" She let out a long breath, like a drowning person who was about to empty her lungs. "Is this also the will of the Snake Mother?"

"No, it's just pity for a person who shares the same suffering." Lux blinked and continued to play the role of an emotionless translation machine. "We are both struggling in the vortex of hatred. Now that we have reached the shore, we should naturally help each other as much as we can."

"Ha, so I am being pitied?" Sarah forced a joking gesture. "Little sister, don't pretend to be an adult here..."

"Do I need to remind you again?" Lux changed her voice. "Appearance is not enough to judge, and seeing may not be true."

"Your false voice skills are good, but there are still traces." Sarah shook her head, as if she would not be fooled a second time. "Let's not go around in circles. Tell me, what do you want me to do-after Gangplank is finished?"

"Please don't make me sound like someone who planned everything 's villain. " Lux sighed helplessly, "I just hope that, if possible, Bilgewater can take the right path."

"Right path?" Sarah seemed to have heard a very funny joke, "This is Bilgewater, there are only drunken pirates here, and pheasants and ducks waiting to be completely played."

"In this world, I'm afraid no one is born a drunken pirate." Lux shook her head, "Bilgewater has a good geographical location and is fully qualified to become a maritime trade transit station like Piltover."

"Piltover controls the canal." Sarah shook her head, "and Bilgewater doesn't have that thing."

"But Bilgewater has a good and safe deep-water port." Lux threw two silver snake coins to the waiter, "Let's go, we may need to find a quiet place to talk."

……………………

Sarah didn't know what she was thinking, and she finally took Lux to one of her secret bases.

"Do you have a map?" This time it was Lux who showed her familiarity. "It's best to have a map of Runeterra or a large nautical chart..."

"How about this one?" Sarah thought for a moment, took out a nautical chart of the Sea of ​​Watch, and spread it on the table. "Is it big enough?"

"About the right amount." Looking at the map, Lux nodded. "There are Ionia, Noxus, the Blue Flame Islands, and Kumangu. That's enough - do you mind if I mark it?"

Sarah nodded and handed Lux ​​a charcoal pencil.

"The war in Ionia is about to end." Lux took the pen and simply pointed it at Ionia. "The Noxians are finished. After the Battle of Precision, their defeat is only a matter of time."

"I know." Sarah nodded. "This news has been spread for a long time."

"Ionia will not remain as closed as it was in the past." Lux continued, "And as we all know, the land of the Firstborn is filled with gold."

"Ganglank once took advantage of the war to loot an Ionian temple. There were indeed many good things." Sarah nodded again, "You mean, they will fight back against Noxus?"

"This is not necessarily true, but what is certain is that the open Ionia market and Ionia products will have a huge impact on all commercial cities along the entire Watch Sea."

"Really?" Sarah had obviously never thought about this. "But I've never heard of this before."

"That's because Ionia has been in a state of war before." Lux was extremely confident. "Now that the war is over, unless Ionia intends to completely return to the state of being slaughtered before the war, they must open the country. ”

"Even so, what does this have to do with Bilgewater?"

"Other than the Noxians, who else can reach the Ionians along the entire Watch Sea?" Lux asked, "The Ionians themselves have no ships and no navy, so what about the Ionians?" Who will do the trade?”

Sarah is no fool.

It wasn't that she couldn't understand this question, it was just that she had never thought about it.

After Lux made her words clear to this point, Sarah completely understood what she meant.

"Most of the time, the people of Bilgewater are known as water rats and old seals, and they raid largely because just fishing and hunting sea monsters is not enough to fully support everyone here." Ignore it With Sara's uncertain expression, Lux continued, "But now, as long as the Ionian War is over, a new opportunity will be in front of Bilgewater."

"..."

"Should we continue to be a sea rat or a sea coachman?" Lux put a question mark on Bilgewater. "Now, this is the main question you have to think about."

"What about Planck?"

"If you figure it out, Planck won't be a problem."

Kalya’s Little Classroom·Ionia’s Navy:

Before the arrival of the Noxians, the Ionians had no concept of a navy.

And even after the Noxians arrived, the Ionians realized the significance of coastal defense, but still did not have a navy - they did not have the technology to build warships at all.

PS. I won’t update tonight. What I wrote later will be updated tomorrow, so that no matter how busy my schedule is, the update time can be determined to be at 6pm, which should be better.
