The Mage Behind the Scenes From the Twin Cities

Chapter 266 The Mind of the Pirate Empress

Hearing Annie's last words, Teemo was so frightened that his hair stood on end:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Nautilus is actually a deep-sea titan?"

"Are you afraid?"

Tristana had a smirk on her lips, her arm resting on Teemo's shoulder.

Teemo snorted and straightened his back:

"Afraid? I'm not afraid! Even if I don't pay tithing, he has to ask the Empire if he agrees to it!"

"What does the Empire have to do with you?" Tristana teased.

"Cough!" Teemo's face became solemn after hearing this. After straightening his collar, he stood straight and said, "Teemo, a recruit of the Noxian Empire, come and report!"

Oh, he really thinks Teemo is stupid.

The people with the biggest legs in this world are definitely Noxians. These days, they have just been sitting on a boat at sea for a few days. They have to eat and drink.

right! He just thinks that the empire is good, and he is definitely not afraid to find a backer!

Not caring about the frolic of a few Poppies, Seraphine turned her head to Grid, uncertain:

"Mr. Grid, is the story Anne told the truth?"

"You want to ask him why he can become a deep-sea titan."

Seeing that his apprentice nodded seriously, Grid knew that she was wondering why, and replied with a smile:

"Remember what I said about the gods?"

Seraphine had an idea: "Faith?"

Grid nodded lightly: "Belief and belief in life sounds like an illusory thought, but it is one of the most powerful forces in the world."

"Could it be that the deep-sea titans are also a kind of gods? Because countless people are willing to believe in tithing, it is a kind of symbol." Seraphine guessed.

Grid agreed: "Perhaps it was because of tithing, or maybe it was because of Nautilus's last thoughts during his lifetime that he became what he is today."

"Mr Grid."

Seraphine opened her mouth, and out of the corner of her eye caught sight of the jubilant Poppy, she changed her mouth and asked vaguely:

"Have you heard of demons? I feel that deep-sea titans are similar to demons."

"Devil." Grid said cheerfully, "It is a product of negative rules. Take the most famous Fiddlesticks as an example. It is precisely because its legends are widely circulated in the world that he has become a mighty demon."

Hearing this name, Seraphine, Annie, and Rael all looked a little unsightly. They all experienced what happened at that time, and Fiddlesticks was not a good generation.

Seraphine had no doubt that without the help of the two teachers, she and Laxana would have died under Fiddlesticks.

Fortunately, after that incident, there was one less cancer in the world.

"You mean he's really a devil?"

If the two are not related, the teacher will not mention it.

Who would have thought, Grid smiled and shook his head:

"That's not the case. I have little research on demons. Based on a review of history, I have come to a conclusion that demons exist before demons. Captain, can you understand the meaning of this sentence?"

"Before the demon." Seraphine asked uncertainly. "Meaning, the demon was a demon before it became a demon?"

This sentence has obvious flaws in logic. If a demon has not become a demon, how can it become a demon.

But the meaning of the words was what Seraphine had heard from the teacher.

Devils are not born devils, but they are destined to be devils when they are born.

Grid nodded slightly, agreeing with Seraphine's statement:

"Perhaps, the Titan that Nautilus turned into after his death is no longer himself, but a combination of belief and negative emotions. He is currently just a rule, derived from the rule of the eleven tax. But if this legend Expand further, spread longer, and he will quickly turn into a real demon."

"That's it"

Seraphine suddenly understood why the Hex Cannon could not kill the Deep Sea Titan. How could a demon reserve soldier die so easily.

She knew very well in her heart that even if it was the two teachers, it would not be easy to kill the demon completely.

"Isn't there a way they can kill?" Seraphine asked in distress.

These weird things made her very uncomfortable.

The tithing, originally a product of superstition, has now become a curse of death. How can all the seagoers be able to collect 1 gold coin? In addition to those big ships, there are still many small boats to go to sea.

Especially Bilgewater was hit by the Noxus currency system. The original Golden Siren was replaced by the current Trefary gold coin. I don't know if the Deep Sea Titan recognizes the Trefary gold coin.

"It's not difficult to kill the products of the rules." Grid smiled. "They have rules for success and rules for failure, as long as they make new rules."

"It's not that easy," Seraphine asked uncertainly.

If it was so easy, who else was afraid of demons?

"The most difficult thing for demons to contend with is that their symbolic rules are closely related to human beings. Fear, greed, lust, and secrets are almost incurable," said Grid.

"Yes, just like Fiddlesticks, when everyone has fear, how should we deal with it." Seraphine helplessly spread her hands.

"There is a person who breaks the rules, such as you." Grid ignored the stunned Seraphine and continued with a smile, "As long as your singing can continue to inspire people, it is enough to dispel the fear in everyone's heart. "

"Impossible," Seraphine smiled awkwardly. "It sounds scarier than fear."

If she has this ability, she is afraid that she can sing fear to death.

Then wait!

The more Seraphine thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, she frowned and said:

"That old man." He just looked up and saw Grid's half-smiling eyes, why did he turn his mouth, "However, my teacher who was as powerful as a **** before, he used a rare power in the world to forcibly defeated the devil. , and taking him prisoner, there is no such method.”

Saying that, she winked at Grid.

Hearing Seraphine mentioning her teacher, the eyes of others were also attracted. Who didn't know that Seraphine's teacher was one of the few people in Runeterra that could be called the apex, Councilor of Trifaris - Ryan Meredith.

Grid smiled happily and wrote lightly: "So, we are not the crown of the president of the parliament. Even if we are stronger than the crown, we can only arrest rather than destroy it, it can be seen."

The corners of Seraphine's mouth twitched slightly, for a very straightforward reason, which seemed to be the case.

She is not her own teacher, so she can't do it, there seems to be no problem.

"What about the Deep Sea Titan? It shouldn't be as difficult to solve as Fiddlesticks." Seraphine asked reluctantly.

"certainly!"

Grid replied unhurriedly:

"Since he is transformed by the rules, so that everyone does not trust this rule, he will cease to exist."

"How?" Seraphine asked curiously.

Well, does she really want to kill the people or do good deeds every day, she is just curious.

"Let everyone realize that there is no danger in not paying tithe. Or rename the tithe and make it a tribute to Naga Kapooros."

The front was still within Seraphine's cognizance, and when it came to the back, Seraphine couldn't close her mouth in surprise.

And this kind of play?

The tithe is a tribute to the sea. Before the appearance of the Deep Sea Titan, there was a saying that it was related to the sea beast, but it was not closely related to Naga Kaporos.

If this is really related to it, these two have to fight

After holding it for a long time, she stammered and spit out a sentence:

"It's that simple?"

"It's really simple, but the premise is that you have to let Bilgewater cooperate with you." Grid looked at Seraphine with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Let him do this matter, even if these small means are not used, it is not a difficult task.

But for the current Seraphine, how to make Bilgewater do this without being disgusted is actually not an easy thing.

Now the empress is not like Laxanna, that is not a person to be with, and it is not a day or two that she longs for Bilgewater to become stronger.

This trip to Bilgewater is also time to teach these two girls a lesson

The corners of Grid's mouth raised slightly, with some kind of interesting expectation in his heart.

…

When the sun rises.

Today's Bilgewater Bay is unusually lively.

An overwhelming number of sea ships gather in the bay, and they all hang the flags designed by the new pirate queen. There are many elements on it, but it does not appear cluttered. Pirates, bounty hunters, Baru culture, and wine are all representative of Bill. Giwater things.

Standing on the highest point of Bilgewater, Sarah looked proudly at the gathering ships below.

Even if she only ordered temporarily, she could summon nearly a hundred large ships of dozens of meters in length. This was Bilgewater's unique power of the sea.

If she was close to land, she didn't dare to take any chances, and Noxus would kill them like ants.

But here is the sea, their home of Bilgewater. Especially after hearing that Piltover was starting to develop into the aviation industry, she felt that the advantage was in me.

It's true that they couldn't resist Noxus, but Bilgewater, both in terms of geography and the skills and resources at their disposal, were uniquely blessed.

There are countless merchant ships in Noxus on this trade road every day. If they hadn’t secretly controlled them, even if they knew that looting the empire’s merchant ships was worse than death, there would definitely be desperadoes who would do it.

Sarah does not expect Bilgewater to be on an equal footing with Noxus, but only hopes that Bilgewater can guarantee that he has a certain degree of autonomous power, and even if he falls to the empire, he must have the power to enter the core.

She still has a certain degree of confidence in the latter, they are not necessarily weaker than Demacia, let alone because of the sea, they are of great value to Noxus.

In such a situation, as long as she shows her strength, she believes that it will not be difficult to fulfill her demands.

"Tosby, do you see it? This is the strength of our Bilgewater, the most powerful naval force." Sarah's red lips curled up.

"Lord Empress, you should speak to Lord Seraphine." Tosby was expressionless.

He sneered at the scene below in his heart. He had seen the scene of the general logging in to Ionia back then.

It's impossible to stop the general in Bilgewater.

Just the broken wooden boats below, in front of the tsunami set off by the general, will instantly turn into fly ash.

Seeing Tosby's virtue, Sarah Xiang shrugged slightly and said nothing more.

A fanatical warrior of the Empire, who believes in Noxus' world number one, such a person is not the same as her.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was from the Empire, she would have shot him down earlier.

It looks blocked.

"Come on, go meet your Lord Seraphine!"

After Sarah finished speaking in a cold voice, Meteor strode towards the port below. Stoby didn't speak, just followed silently.

After a while, a large ship of dozens of meters left the port and slowly moved forward.

And the ships that docked in Bilgewater Bay before also followed behind this large ship, forming a large fleet, sailing mightily into the distance.

And not far from them, the aerospace battleship is moving towards this side at a very fast speed.

After a while, both sides were able to see each other from a distance.

"Is that a ship?"

Sarah stood on the bow, looking at the steel giant ship not far away, with surprise in her expression.

This was not the first time she had seen a Noxian steel ship, but it was the first time she had seen such a large steel ship.

The size of one of the other party's ships is equivalent to four or five of her cars.

She wondered how the Noxians had put heavy steel on the sea and kept them afloat without sinking.

Getting closer, she also saw the artillery on the surface of the aerospace battleship. The dense barrels were aimed at them.

The dark blue hex cannons on the bases made Sarah feel a little stunned when she saw them.

Even if she only saw the long and thick barrel, she wouldn't think it was just a piece of shit.

She was fortunate enough to have seen a scene of a Hex artillery fire, which seemed to be a Z701 model. A shelling could barely shatter a 10-meter-long wooden boat. The disadvantage is that the shooting cost is extremely high, and there is still a long interval between the two launches.

Hex guns are powerful, but not invincible.

This is also the reason why she thinks Bilgewater can compete with Noxus. They have recently won a lot of Piltover's good weapons through channels such as the black market.

Those newly acquired guns were designed by Heimerdinger, known as the father of Picheng, and they were new designs a few years ago. Sarah didn't think it would be much weaker than the Hex Cannon.

Sarah forced herself to calm down and gave the order with her face as calm as possible:

"Let's go up!"

The main ship she was on continued to move forward, while the fleet behind her slowly stopped and lined up in a row. uukanshu.com formed a very oppressive formation.

This is the formation of the fleet that Sarah devised to give Noxus a chance to dismantle.

In Bilgewater, even Naga Kapooros had to step back in front of them!

"interesting."

On the other side of the space battleship, Seraphine raised her eyebrows.

As for the thoughts of the pirate queen, she can guess seven, seven, eight, eight without any ability.

Before changing it, she would really pretend to be invisible.

But after going through Demacia and her party, she also had a different idea:

"Blitz, the main battery of the Hex cannon is charged, directly above the target. Meeting with the Queen of Bilgewater is always a grand occasion."

The empire has always emphasized the supremacy of strength. Since the other party wants to show its strength, as the representative of the empire, how could Seraphine not accompany her.
