“…”

"Wow! It smells so bad, it's really annoying here..."

(ー`′ー)

Looking at the big monsters like sea fish hanging by various huge wooden winch cranes at the dock in front of him, which were even bigger than the blue whales on the earth, looking at their huge hideous teeth, the bloody skin cut by the sharp blade and the bright red and dry muscles inside, Annie couldn't help but cover her nose and pushed it away for several steps, and did not dare to continue to step forward.

Because, the pungent smell of blood made her feel uncomfortable...

At this time, looking at the past, the sea water in the entire port had long been dyed red by the blood of huge sea fishes and monsters in the slaughter rooms located everywhere in the pier... It makes people feel that the sea water in the entire port was as bloody as it was, very hideous and terrifying!

In the distance, there are round blood tanks of different sizes on the edge of almost every slaughter dock. Except for a small amount of blood flowing directly into the sea water at the port, the sea near the port was dyed into a "sea of ​​blood" by a small amount of blood by the complete facilities to collect the blood tanks like a salt pond.

Then, the workers at the docks were stirring, solidifying and separating them. They skillfully filled the edible parts, medicinal parts or other uses in the blood of the sea monster into small buckets, and then transported them away in time...

Obviously, they are already familiar with this kind of work. At this time, they are efficiently and quickly dealing with the huge sea monsters, trying their best to squeeze every piece of flesh, every bone, and even every drop of blood on their bodies, turning them all into part of the commodity that can be converted into profits!

"Ha ha!"

"Little girl, isn't Blood Harbor very spectacular? This is what our bone-shaped bay is like. Over time, you will naturally fall in love with it slowly!"

"For you! This is the serrated sea monster's forehead tenderloin. One pound is at least priced at one gold coin. There are almost two pounds here. Because it is an illegal channel, it can only buy so many of the three small gold coins you just gave me! Now, take it and leave quickly and let the restaurant you come here for the boss to steam it for you as soon as possible. If it is late, it will not be delicious!"

"Also, don't blame me for not reminding you. It's better to move quickly if you are an outsider. Don't go to the small streets and alleys alone, and don't wait until it's dark and wander around here, otherwise...huhhhh!"

After snorting twice, the sea monster butcher who secretly stole meat to sell it to the little girl to earn extra money, quickly waved to the little girl and signaled the other party to get out quickly and not stayed outside his slaughter room, so as not to be seen by the stingy captain of the hunting boat?

Then,

He then turned his body impatiently back to his job position in the distance, intending to continue with his apprentices to slaughter and break down the sea monster sent back by the lucky captain before it gets stinking.

“…”

"Hmph! What's the best here? Who would like this?"

(ˉ▽￣～～)Cut

Looking at the bloody fish in her hand, little Annie thrust her cheeks, her cute little brows frowned. In the end, it was the foodie's attribute that defeated the urge to throw it away in her heart...

If the owner of the restaurant hadn't just told herself that she could only buy the freshest and most delicious butcher from the slaughtering pier, she wouldn't have come here to suffer!

Only the undead like this dirty, smelly and fishy place!!

o(′^)o

"It's time to leave, Teebos!"

"The side mission of buying meat has been completed. Let's go back and let the weird boss lady cook it for us. If it is not delicious, I will definitely give you some!!"

)o

"Don't think of tricking me... Just now, your hand must have been rubbed with a layer of powder ground from the bones of some kind of monster, so the remaining magic power will be stimulated and emit a faint light when it is rubbed and heated... Otherwise, you take away your black cloth and let me see it. I guess there must be something like dust there?!"

(?_?)

A guy who had no magic power on his body, and then he only knew a little bit of magic knowledge dared to come to her, Queen Anne, to fiddle with these tricks in front of her, the omnipotent arcane master. How could this trick be deceived?

This kind of thing is definitely impossible. She will not be as easy to be deceived like her little bear!

(…)

?(o?o?)?Protest!!

“!!”

After hearing the little girl's words, the old witch's expression froze instantly, and the loose muscles on her cheeks were still thrusting...

"Go away! Since you don't want to count, that's fine... Little girl, go play somewhere else, don't come to my place to make trouble, otherwise, be careful to use a spell to curse you later, so that you can become the ugliest person in the entire runeland when you grow up?!"

With such a hidden means, the "magic" that had deceived countless sailor captains was actually seen through by the other party, which made the old witch look up and down at the little girl several times again. Then, she felt that the other party was probably the kind of person who had received a good family education, knew all kinds of secret common sense, and even really knew the mysterious magic knowledge. She waved at the other party a little discouraged and lazily, and planned to let go of the little "fat fish" in front of her and drive the other party away.

Then, her eyes began to look at the surrounding drinkers, intending to earn money for dinner tonight or tomorrow from some strange-looking guys who are stupid...

"I won't grow up. No curse you use is useless!!"

o(?3?)o Humph!

The rule power of the time gem has been tangled in Anne's body and entangled with the power of time in various worlds. Therefore, unless Anne takes the initiative to remove the power of time, no matter whether it is time or time, all the spells of time will be invalid for her!

“…”

The fake old witch had no strength to pay attention to the little girl anymore, but she just waved her hand absent-mindedly to the other party, signaling her to get out quickly and not delay her own work again.

Because, if she doesn't find a way to get some money tonight, she will probably be starved to death tomorrow or the day after tomorrow! Older and weak guys like her really have no other way to live except begging or cheating... And the worst thing is that there is no mercy here in Bilgewater. Those beggars who beg for a living basically died in an unknown corner for various reasons.

"Hello!"

"Grandma Witch, I guess... you must know a lot about this city, right?"

(^-^)o

Annie didn't want to watch the other party play those boring magic tricks that deceived children. She really wanted something else interesting.

"Little girl, what else do you want?!"

I have already admitted my mistake just now and don’t plan to try to fool the other party in any way, but why is this little girl still unyielding now?

So, the old witch glared at the other party helplessly!

"I won't forget it for you, you'd better leave quickly, and go far away from here and find your parents..."

She is different from the kind of children who are from rich families who are carefree and have no shortage of food. Just like if she has no income tonight, she might go hungry tomorrow, and then one day her decayed body will appear on a remote beach in Bilgewater, allowing those fish-headed rats who can rush up the shore and go down the sea to chew ruthlessly!

She has lived for decades, has been glorious for a while, has been even more down-and-out than she is now, and has seen too many things, but no matter what, she doesn't want to die yet, and wants to continue to live silly until the disease, or the god of death, or the sea monster of the "bearded lady" comes to take her away!

"I won't leave!"

"Can you tell me the story of this city? I can give you money!!"

o(*^▽^*)o☆

"money!?"

"You want to hear the story of this city..."

Hearing the word "money", the old witch was finally stunned, and her expression was no longer as impatient as before. Then, after a while, she nodded as if she had realized it, and her originally tired eyes flashed again with the cunning and treacherous light from the beginning.

"Our Bilgewater..."

"Little girl, I tell you, it is a unique port city in the world of Runeland... This is not only a paradise for sea monster hunters and dock gangs, but also a paradise for 'capable strangers' like me' in the whole world..."

"If you want to listen to stories, then you have found the right place... I'm afraid no one here is more familiar with those great legends than me..."

"but……"

"My story is not cheap... Little girl, do you bring money? If you don't have money, I don't have the energy to tell you those interesting things..."

"You may not know, I, a fortune teller, have always been very busy?"

If you have money, everything will be easy. If you don’t have money, you will never be able to do it from now on...

After all, Bilgewater, who has no kingship, is a paradise for lawless people! If you don’t have money and have certain self-protection ability, then no one can continue to live! Therefore, the most urgent task of this old witch is to use any means to successfully cheat money from this little girl or someone else!

If it weren't for the fact that something was difficult to operate in this tavern, she would have been in a heart that would have been to kidnapped the little girl in front of her, or to forcefully search the other party's place where the property might be hidden.

"Here! I'll give you this, is that enough?"

?ヾ(′?`o)+

Ding ~ Ding ding ~!

Several round and golden coins collided with each other and were thrown into each other by Little Annie. After rolling around on the thick boat board and wine table for two rounds before they got stuck in the gaps in the tabletop pattern carvings. Only half of them were exposed under the glimmer of fish oil candles, emitting a fascinating golden light.

There is no doubt that they are indeed gold coins, representing a gadget that everyone likes for wealth and purchasing power!

“!!”

Seeing this situation, the old fortune teller was really shocked!

even,

She also opened her mouth with yellow teeth slightly, and after a while she realized it, she suddenly reached out and used a movement that was faster than an ordinary young and middle-aged man. She simply searched all the gold coins on the table into her pockets in an instant, and covered them tightly with her other hand.

Then, after calming down, she suppressed her beating old heart and thought about it, she carefully grabbed one with her other hand, held it carefully in her palm, and hid it. She carefully came to her, and observed the heavy, round and flat little thing lying in her palm from a direction that would not be seen by others.

"It's really a gold coin...Is this a golden sir?"

The value of a gold coin, the purchasing power of this Bilgewater Port, can be roughly seen from the full 1,000 Golden Siren on the bounty list of the Blood Harbor Ghost Pike.

So, seeing that she had just fooled her for a moment, she could successfully cheat several gold coins from a little girl. For her "old witch" who had known to cheat her all day long, it was an unexpected fortune that was enough for her to spend several years!

certainly,

If others know about it, it is also enough to wipe her neck in a dark alley and then steal their source of sin!

"wrong……"

"This seems to be a gold coin from the Noxus people. You...you shouldn't have come from that Noxus Empire?!"

After taking a few glances with the candlelight, the old witch quickly saw the patterns and words on it. First of all, it was not the iconic Siren pattern of Bilgewater Port that she was familiar with, but the sword and shield badge pattern of Noxus and the strange words that made her feel a little strange? Moreover, the weight and thickness of the gold coins seemed to be a little thinner than that of the Golden Siren?

So, thinking that the little girl was a family member of a maritime merchant from Noxus, she was in ecstasy and barely suppressed the excitement in her heart. She turned her head and looked around again. After finding that no one noticed them, she asked cautiously.

The name of the Noxus Empire has a terrible influence throughout the Runeland, so she must confirm some things.
To be continued...
