Lux's Magic Penetration Rod
Chapter 167 【0164】 Bilgewater’s Surprise
Because of the special nature of Bilgewater, the tickets are all anonymous, and one ticket represents one cabin.
Lux, who slipped onto the ship, was not disturbed and quickly started her journey.
The fast ship took seven days to get from Piltover to Bilgewater.
For Lux, although the journey was uncomfortable, it was at least smooth—perhaps because the captain had a relatively pious faith, the journey was uneventful.
Except for still being a little seasick, everything else is fine.
Alone and carrying a sword, Lux seemed to have returned to eight years ago, to the time when she had just met Kalya and not yet met Sona.
The difference from that time is that now Kalya no longer forces her to learn magic theory.
In recent years in Zaun, everything Lux did and every choice she made must be carefully considered.
Zaun's rapid progress gave Lux a great sense of accomplishment, but for a young girl, this kind of year-round work was really too hard.
Now, even though she was a little seasick on this fast boat, Lux could at least relax and stop thinking about Zaun for the time being, pestering Kalya with questions like in the past.
The stuffy cabin was really suffocating and made seasickness worse. Lux simply got up early every day and went to the deck to watch the sunrise.
So, every morning, Lux would wrap herself in a thick cloak, wear a hood and blow the sea breeze on the deck. Facing the nascent red sun, she would press the hilt of her sword and talk to Kalya about the mountains.
One chat lasts a day.
This life of blowing wind and bragging was so pleasant that when the ship arrived in Bilgewater and it was time to disembark, Lux was even reluctant to leave.
Then, before she could say anything more, the wind from the direction of the slaughterhouse blew in her face, giving her a heavy and realistic blow.
The wind is not strong.
But the smell of the sea monster's organs, mixed with the fishy stench of rotting fish and shrimp, intertwined, but it was extremely overpowering.
Lux was already sensitive to smells. Before she found Janna, she felt uncomfortable in her throat even when wearing a filter when entering and leaving Zaun. Now she was unprepared and was blown away by this sea breeze that was full of "Bilgewater characteristics". The blow was so hard that I almost lost my breath on the spot.
"vomit--"
……………………
When Lux opened the door and entered a tavern, and found a deserted corner to sit down, she felt for the first time in her life that the smell of sweat, alcohol and tobacco mixed together could be so refreshing.
"Is this Bilgewater?" Lux murmured softly, stroking the hilt of her sword, "How do these pirates endure it..."
"The power of habit is very scary." Kalya said helplessly, "Zuan's haze was so great in the past, didn't the people of Zaun adapt to it?"
Then, before Lux could say anything else, a dirty menu was thrown on the table - the waiter in the tavern noticed Lux and took the initiative to ask her what she wanted to order.
Although his attitude was very bad, the waiter respected Lux's cloak and hood and did not look at her foolishly. However, his tone was a bit impatient and he kept urging her to order quickly.
After hastily flipping through the menu, Lux ignored the mess of drinks and finally chose mango juice.
After a while, a glass of original mango juice was placed in front of Lux.
However, looking at the even turbid liquid in the turbid glass, Lux was somewhat unable to keep her mouth shut.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Kalya was very happy, "I just saw the bartender freshly squeezed mangoes."
"Yes, fresh-squeezing is correct." Lacus nodded, her expression stiff, "But the tool used for fresh-squeezing has already squeezed five kinds of fruits, but it has not been cleaned from beginning to end..."
"This should be the flavor of Bilgewater, you must try it." Kalya chuckled, "Come on, Lux, drink it. This is your destiny after coming to Bilgewater."
"What does this thing have to do with fate?!" Lux picked up the cup hesitantly, "Karya, are you serious?"
"Believe me." Kalya said firmly, "This is the cleanest thing you can drink in Bilgewater. In the pirate city, you need to lower your standards."
Lux pursed her lips and glanced quickly at the other customers in the tavern - perhaps because it was not yet dark, there were not many people drinking here, and many people had juices of various colors in their glasses.
And those juices, without exception, all come from the bartender's fresh-squeezing machine that seems to have never been cleaned.
But as Kalja said, no one cares.
"Okay, okay." Lux raised the cup as if she had accepted her fate, "Let me have a taste of this Bilgewater flavor...eh?"
Unlike the strange taste I imagined, this mango juice is really delicious!
The sweet juice is slightly sour and has an obvious fruity aroma of mango in the mouth.
Although there was a bit too much pulp residue, the drink was still refreshing and smooth. After Lux drank the glass, not only did her tightened brows relax, but even her previous nausea disappeared.
When she put down the empty cup, Lux even felt a little hungry!
"It's unbelievable." Lux waved her hand, called the waiter, and picked up the greasy menu again, "I thought I wouldn't have to eat for three days..."
This time, Kalya rarely teased her, but just smiled and said nothing.
……………………
Drinking this glass of juice is also a kind of acceptance in a sense, which means that Lux accepts Bilgewater as the Romans do.
Then, she ordered an "Old Sea Dog Set Meal", and with the lemonade in the set meal, she ate her first meal in Bilgewater - black bread with cod liver pate. Not only was it not fishy, but it was extremely delicious. .
"Ah, I feel like I'm alive." After eating, Lux leaned back on the chair and let out a long breath, "Where should we go next? To meet the god you mentioned?"
"Don't worry about that yet." Kalya seemed to feel Lux's satisfaction, and her tone was very relaxed, "Before that, we should visit the disaster of the ocean first."
Visit the pirate leader?
"How are we going to visit Gangplank?" Lux asked with some confusion, "This kind of pirate...should be difficult to visit directly, right?"
"In most cases, yes." Karya had already planned, "But believe me, there is one situation where Gangplank will come forward on his own no matter what."
"what's the situation?"
“A situation where someone comes and buys a boat sign.”
"Ship mark?" Lux blinked, "What is that?"
"It's the pirate leader's token." Kalya explained, "It's the money to buy a way on the ocean - spend a sum of gold sirens in exchange for Gangplank's token. If you show it when you meet a pirate, you'll be spared."
"Can it still be like this?" Lux's eyes widened in astonishment, "This is simply a tax!"
"That's right, this is the Pirate King's tax." Kalya chuckled, "The Snake Mother charges tithes, and the price is a golden siren; and the ship's logo of the Ocean Disaster... is probably more expensive than the one from the Snake Mother. a bit."
Kalya’s Little Classroom·Ship Mark:
A by-product of Bilgewater's highly developed "pirate business."
In the face of pirates, businessmen are often reluctant to resist; pirates also want to ensure sustainability and fish from all the water, so the ship mark was born.
A ship mark is a mark fixed on a certain ship and has a time limit - a businessman can purchase a ship mark for a certain ship of his own for a period ranging from one month to one year. While the ship mark is in effect, pirates will not Loot the ship.
In a sense, it is a tax.
Of course, in the mouths of businessmen, this is a "year package".
Next chapter is a little later.
