Chapter 190 [0188] Douyu

Before Okao was eliminated, Bilgewater's power game was about the big fish eating the small fish, and the small fish eating the shrimp.

Without the giant shark swimming above the heads of all the small fish and shrimps, each "vibrant social group" quickly took action and worked hard to annex the small gangs and strengthen themselves.

However, as Okao, under the inducement of Tamu, claimed to be the chosen one, and made a big show of attacking his neighbors who were close in strength, the tone of the competition suddenly changed.

In the eyes of everyone, Okan's behavior is announcing that the development period is completely over, and now it's life and death!

Sarah, who originally planned to unite other gangs to engage in Ionian trade, now has to give up her original plan. The second round of negotiations that was originally scheduled to begin soon changed as the situation became tense. There is no end in sight. With the Okao beginning, no one is willing to sit down and negotiate.

There is no doubt that Okao's behavior shattered the fragile order that Bilgewater had just established, and the pirate city will usher in another wave of bloodshed.

Even though Lux repeatedly assured that Oko was definitely not the Chosen One, and told Sarah that as long as she was willing to go to the temple and meet Illaoi, everything would come to light, but Sarah still cautiously asked Raven to prepare for battle. , and drove the Siren out of the dock.

"Oko is definitely not the chosen one." Seeing Raven receive the order to leave, Lux couldn't help but sigh, "Illaoi doesn't eat people, now is not the time for a big fight!"

"I know, and I believe it too." After her first mate left, Sarah leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair, "But it's useless for me to believe that Okao has torn apart all the room for peace. "

"So, are you preparing for the worst?" Although she understood Sarah's choice and Kalya was also reminding her, Lux still felt a little sad about it, "The previous chaos was bad enough. Now... the fire has started again, and this time it will probably be even bigger.”

"There is nothing we can do about it. The stinky pirates are always a little nervous." Sarah looked very open-minded, and comforted Lacus in turn, "Originally, when I contacted them, I didn't expect everyone to have moral and moral integrity. Trusting this kind of thing and hoping that everyone can engage in Ionian trade is just relying on the balance of mutual fear... Now that the balance has been broken, let me see Zhenzhang!"

"And this could have been avoided." Although the kind-hearted Lux ​​knew the inevitability of all this, she was still depressed, "Sarah, there are not only pirates in this city."

"Yes, there are thieves, gamblers, flesh and blood and bounty hunters." Sarah crossed her legs, "Miss Lux, can I ask you a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"Have you always been such a kind person since you were a child?"

"Is there anything wrong with being kind?" Lux was a little confused. "If possible, maybe many people would be happy to be a kind person, right?"

"But you also know, if it's possible." Sarah reached deep into her hands and ran her slender fingers through the ends of her hair that had just been cut off by Drizzt a few days ago. "To be honest, sometimes I think you are special. "Separation, your methods of using human nature are obviously extremely sophisticated, and your manufacturing plans are airtight, but sometimes it feels like your ideals are particularly naive."

"This is not naivety." Lux shook her head. "You may have some misunderstandings - naivety is wishful thinking that is ignorant of the world, and I am afraid I know better than you what Bilgewater will become next."

"That's very strange." Sarah moved closer to Lux, "Since you know what will happen, why do you still have to be sad and why do you still try to change?"

"..."

Kalya didn't say anything, and Lax didn't say a word either.

"In this city of pirates, I have seen many people of all kinds. Maybe they are trying to get rich overnight, or maybe they are trying to become a master. There are gamblers who lose money here, and there are also hungry ghosts who tell lies." Looking at the silent Lux, Sarah said in a playful tone, "They all have their own purposes. Even if I am able to reach this day, it is for revenge."

Lux remained silent and nodded slightly.

"But what about you? What are you doing for?" Sarah's tone was full of doubts, "You are an outsider and have nothing to do with Bilgewater; you are not eager for the wealth here, and you don't seem to have the desire to control this city. Any interest, but when things get really bad here, you seem more anxious and frustrated than I do."

"Is this difficult to understand?" Lux finally smiled. "In my opinion, there are many bastards in Bilgewater, but there are also many people who don't need to be such bastards."

"It wasn't necessary?" Sarah couldn't understand what Lux meant. "In my opinion, most people here are hopeless."

"No one is destined to be a gambler or a villain when he is born." At this point, Lux saw it clearly, "It's just that here, most people can only become gamblers or villains. This depends on the level of production and society. Determined by the structure, compared to the abundance of villains, I think what’s worse about Bilgewater is the environment and system in which villains are constantly born.”

"So, you brought a plan for Ionia trade? As if you were a noble savior?" There was something intriguing in Sarah's tone, "Or, you think Bilgewater is... Is it what you think it should be?”

"Bilgewater has always been what the people of Bilgewater think it should be." Lux shook her head again and corrected Sarah's statement, "What makes me sad is that I can't find a way to change everyone's mind."

"So, why don't you want to embrace a destruction?" Sarah opened her arms, "Welcome a new life in the destruction."

"But rebirth after destruction is the worst option after all." Lux finally couldn't help but sigh, "Anyway, if possible, I hope to avoid all this from happening."

Sarah's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, looking up and down at Lux in front of her, and finally did not continue on this topic, but took the initiative to talk about Illaoi, and turned to ask about Illaoi's trial.

Lux couldn't reveal the content of the trial, but she could at least tell Sarah that the core of the trial was to face her own soul.

"Soul, really interesting." Sarah thought for a moment and stood up, "Okay, dear Lux, thank you for your advice and help. If I have time, I will go to see the priestess."

Karliya's Little Classroom: Snake Mother Doesn't Care:

For Illaoi, mortals in the world can be divided into two types: those who have passed the Snake Mother Trial and those who have not.

In the eyes of others, Okao is a devout believer, but in the eyes of Illaoi, he is no different from any passerby on the dock - Snake Mother doesn't care.
