Chapter 167 Rumor, Snake Mother, Illaoi.

"So, what do you need me to do?"

In the empty tavern, Sarah looked at the three people in front of her and asked.

Poppy, Marla, and Moss looked at Sarah, who stood up, took out a bag, put it on the table and said, "We need this kind of ore. According to our investigation, this ore is produced in the surrounding islands of Bilgewater. We need a lot of ore and trade it with money and goods. What do you think?"

Sarah reached out to take the bag, opened it and looked at it for a few times, but couldn't see any signs.

Although she was born in Bilgewater, Sarah is only in her early twenties now. Moreover, she has been fighting with people and gangsters since she arrived on Bilgewater. She has no time to study ore. Therefore, after looking at it for a few times, Sarah raised her hand and called a subordinate, asking him to find a blacksmith on Bilgewater.

In less than ten minutes, several tattooed Bilgewater men came to the tavern with a blacksmith.

The shirtless, tall, muscular blacksmith with dense tattoos knelt down and said stumblingly when he saw Sarah: "Lady Sarah, I, I, I shouldn't have offended you, right? I've been very honest recently."

"Don't be so nervous, Keshe, I asked you to come just to help me do something, why are you so afraid of me?" Sarah reached out and patted the other's shoulder gently. She smiled and continued: "If it's because of the things between you and the Hydralisk Gang, then I don't intend to ask. After all, you are just doing business. Does a weapon craftsman have any reason to refuse business initiated by customers?

So relax, Keshe, anyway, the Hydralisk Gang will not be able to jump for a few days. If it weren't for the fear that after cleaning them up, there would be more idiots taking advantage of the situation to make the middle level more chaotic, do you think he would have a chance to go to the Red Earl Tavern today?"

Keshe lowered his head, pretending not to hear, and knelt on the floor without saying a word.

This is not a topic he can participate in.

Then, Sarah said, "Come here and help me look at these ores."

"Yes." Keshe stood up quickly and looked down at the ores on the table.

After just a glance, he immediately said, "This is a special ore from the Blue Flame Islands. This ore can only be found in the Blue Flame Islands in the whole world."

"Why? Is there really no other place?" Moss asked quickly.

His research requires this ore, but he has searched many places and even asked for the relationship in Piltover, but he only found a few pieces. This ore is moderately hard and soft, and it also contains mysterious magical power.

For Moss, this ore really plays a vital role in his research, because this ore can perfectly match Hex gems, and can be embedded in various instruments, wrap precision instruments without problems, and can perfectly operate the power of Hex gems. It is the treasure that Moss found after studying hundreds of ores, and it is the most suitable for use as an exoskeleton device.

Just talking about an exoskeleton arm device, at least thirty kilograms of this ore are needed, and Moss now only has two or three pieces on hand.

"The reason? Of course it's related to the Bearded Lady." Keshe picked up the ore and said.

"Tell me in detail." Sarah said.

"Secret Snake Sea Mine is the name of this ore, Lady Sarah." Keshe looked at Moss and hesitated, "About the Bearded Lady, Lady Sarah, reveal the gods of the Baru people to these foreigners, they may come to the door."

"Just tell me what you want to say, is there any reason for you to worry about this?" Sarah knocked on the table.

Keshe hurriedly said yes, and then explained: "This ore is generally used by the Baru people to build temples and shrines. It is said that the Baru people can use this ore to communicate with the Snake Mother, that is, the Bearded Lady, and offer tributes and the power of faith. Therefore, although this ore can be seen everywhere in the Blue Flame Islands, it is not often used in Bi Island."

"Because they are worried about being targeted by the Bearded Lady."

"Who is the Bearded Lady?" Marla couldn't help asking.

Keshe glanced at Sarah and saw that Sarah's green eyes were staring at him quietly. He immediately understood what Sarah meant.

He explained to Mara: "The Bearded Lady is a deity believed by the Baru people and is also feared by most people in Bilgewater. It can do anything and call the wind and rain. According to the picture, it looks like a huge sea monster with countless tentacles on its head. It swims back and forth endlessly and is known as the god of life."

"God? There are gods in Bilgewater?" Mara said in shock.

She really didn't expect that there would be gods in such a backward and dilapidated place.

That's a god!

Mara didn't believe in gods before, because if there really were gods, then why didn't the mages who lived in Demacia get the protection of gods? But now, Mara believes it.

Because Moss, who was sitting next to her, had a real god in their hometown.

Demacia and the Twin Cities established complete diplomatic relations. On the day the War Academy was founded, the sacred and beautiful God of Wind came to the War Academy and showed his existence to the world.

Therefore, when Marla heard the Bi Islanders say that there are gods here, she suddenly became a little worried.

Gods can easily destroy the existence of a country. If the Bi Islanders are not lying, then is it inappropriate for the bearded lady they are talking about to touch its things?

"Yes, it is called the bearded lady, the snake mother, and the sea beast, but no matter what it is called, it proves its influence on Bilgewater. When you came here, you should have seen a lot of tentacle patterns and sea beast patterns, right? Those are all proof of its existence. Bilgewater has its figure everywhere." Keshe said seriously.

Sarah turned a deaf ear to this. She did not believe in gods, even if the priests she had met said that she should believe in Nagakabouros, go to the snake seedlings, and go to the Wild Islands to worship the gods.

But Sarah ignored it.

Believe in gods? Ha, she is not that stupid. She wants to be the queen of this sea, she wants to completely control Bilgewater, she does not want to get weird tattoos, wear ugly clothes, and worship a strange-looking god all day long.

"Have you seen it with your own eyes?" Mara asked.

Keshe replied: "Of course not, my father has never seen the bearded lady, but according to my mother, Bilgewater has experienced several crises. Whenever Bilgewater cannot solve the crisis, the Baru people will send the most powerful priests to Bilgewater to solve the crisis for Bilgewater."

"My mother once told me that she saw green tentacles tens of meters long with her own eyes. They suddenly grew out and were huge, helping Bilgewater to stop the black fog."

"."

Moss hesitated after hearing this.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you backing down just because you heard this?" Sarah saw Moss's thoughts and couldn't help but say.

".Why don't we ask Principal Rowan first?" Moss looked at Marla and said.

Marla nodded.

But Sarah suddenly said, "You want to go back and ask people? There's no need. It will take dozens of days to go back and forth. Why don't you just show me what you have now? I will find the ore for you. It's just some ore. The Baru people won't care."

"You give me money and I give you ore. How about that?" Sarah said.

If it was to take other risks, then Sarah would consider it, but offending the Baru people?

Ha, Sarah didn't seem to worry about this.

After all, the gods believed by the Baru people seemed to need her very much.

Therefore, Sarah thought that if she went to ask for some ore, the Baru people would not bother her.

"Is that so?"

Moss pushed his glasses, and then he asked, "What do you need?"

Sarah narrowed her eyes and laughed, "Anything is fine, gold, food, armor, weapons, as long as they can be used, I need them all."

"I understand." Moss said.

"Then, happy cooperation?"

Moss nodded, "Happy cooperation."

"But we need to find someone first."

"Who?"

Sarah narrowed her eyes, thinking of the woman whose arms were thicker than her waist, and smiled, "The true one of the Baru people."

Three days later, on the sea.

A small fishing boat floated on the sea, heading towards an island.

The Blue Flame Islands, as the last two words say, are an archipelago. Several islands of different sizes constitute the culture of the Baru people, and the cultural center of the Baru people is naturally Nagakabouros. Bilgewater is naturally one of the Blue Flame Islands, but now Bilgewater has been abandoned by the Baru people.

Because the Baru people cannot accept outsiders, and the Bi Islanders are also considered outsiders by them.

How did Bilgewater come into being?

It is a sea city-state built slowly by traitors, criminals and people who have no way to live from various countries.

Therefore, the blood of people from all over the world flows in Bilgewater.

Therefore, the Baru people hate them.

But the interesting thing is that the new Baru True Master, who is also known as the most powerful Baru True Master in hundreds of years, betrayed the Baru people and resolutely set foot on Bilgewater, and she even protected Bilgewater.

The black fog carried by the undead is getting bigger and bigger. It no longer lives on the island, but gradually spreads to the deeper part of the sea. Therefore, Bilgewater has also begun to be affected in recent years, but the Baru people do not intend to protect Bilgewater. Their mission is to guard the archipelago and prevent those who exist from defiled Nagakabouros.

The mission of the True One is to face the black fog and dispel it. Every True One will face the black fog, entrusted with the will of the gods.

But this True One is a little rebellious.

Just like now, Sarah's men sailed out and took Moss and his party to the archipelago to search for ore, while Sarah was drinking in the tavern with Zeli and Bobby.

In the tavern, there was also a man with a huge body and muscles like iron blocks.

She sat there like a wall, with black tattoos like gears on her arms, long hair casually scattered, wearing green and red-brown clothes, drinking silently, but her eyes were always fixed on Zellie and Sarah.

"Why is she staring at us?" Zellie didn't like Sarah, but at the moment, she leaned on Sarah, hiding behind her, avoiding the sight of the big guy.

Too scary

This guy is even stronger than Fandel!

Oh my God, why can a woman be so strong?

Zellie even felt that the other party could kill a bear with one punch!

Her fist was almost bigger than her head!

And now, being stared at by such a being, Zellie would of course be afraid.

"She likes you."

"Like me?" Zellie trembled.

Sarah said with a smile, "It should be said that the gods behind her have taken a liking to you."

Opposite, Illaoi put down her wine glass and looked at Sarah with her bright eyes. Her eyes were like copper bells and she had huge earrings on her ears.

The voice was not a male voice, nor was it low, but it was very loud, a little like an older sister's voice.

"Sarah, I agree to your request and allow your people to go to the islands to collect ore. So, when do you plan to fulfill your promise?"

"Don't worry, Illaoi, the trial of the gods always requires some preparation." Sarah moved her eyelids.

She continued, "Although I don't think I will fail, but what if? If I fail, then only death will greet me, right?"

"Death is not the goal, Sarah." Illaoi said.

She continued, "The Snake Mother has urged me many times. You should not escape. The purpose of the trial is not to punish, but to select humans who can accept the will of the Snake Mother."

Sarah said calmly, "You know it yourself. No matter how much you say, this is also an unfair trial."

"." Ornn was silent.

But soon, she smiled and said, "Maybe, it's really unfair, because in the past trials, too many people didn't want to accept the trial, but this is a trial given by God and cannot be avoided."

"Is this why you killed the Bi Island people?" Sarah looked at Ornn.

"It wasn't me who killed them, it was their cowardice." Ornn said.

"Forget it, Illaoi, there is nothing to say to you. You are much better than those Baru people and can communicate, but in the final analysis, you are the same as them. You are just servants of the Bearded Lady. You have no ideas of your own and will only act according to the will of the gods you mentioned. Are you still a human being?"

"How do you know this is not my will?" Facing Sarah's sarcasm, Illaoi said calmly.

She has a heart that is extremely inconsistent with her appearance.

Then, she looked at Zel, smiled and said, "You are very good, very outstanding, and the Snake Mother admires you very much."

"Interested"

"Hey, hey, hey, she is a Demacia." Sarah said unhappily.

"Illaoi, give up your idea of ​​finding servants for the Bearded Lady."

"Hehe." Illaoi smiled and said nothing.

But her eyes were always on Zel.

Those chosen by the Snake Mother can't escape.

Even if she didn't want to accept the trial, as Illaoi said before, this was a trial bestowed by the gods and could not be avoided.

So, find an opportunity to privately educate this little girl about the existence of the Snake Mother?

After all, Illaoi didn't want to see anyone die because of the Snake Mother's trial.
