Chapter 18: Bristol's Docks
Aix followed Master Yi on, unconsciously already sweating, and when Ax walked through a dense bush, he finally saw the person they wanted to meet this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Somewhat different from the image in Aix's impression, Aix saw a flame, in the flames, a figure loomed, but the surrounding trees showed no signs of burning, as if these flames had no effect on those trees at all. The vengeful flame soul is indeed the soul fire, and now Ax can be regarded as having experienced the meaning of this sentence.
"You're late!" From the flames, there was a terrifying sound, and when he heard it, Ax felt his whole body twist, as if his whole body was cramping.
"Because of some things, you can't afford to wait for this time, I don't think you can't afford to wait!" Although Master Yi is explaining, it is also a little aggressive, after all, the forces represented by the two sides have not formally formed an alliance, and now they are only acting together and cooperating with each other because of common enemies, but their respective identities determine that they must not show weakness, otherwise, it will have an impact on the subordination of future cooperation.
"Who is this little guy, your disciple?" Brand seemed to notice Aix, and the activity around him jumped a little, and he seemed to show a hint of curiosity about Aix's arrival.
"No, he's not my disciple, and the reason why he's here is because he's an important part of this matter, and that's the credit of this little guy." Master Yi took out a piece of paper and threw it at Brand. The paper did not fall to the ground after being thrown like ordinary paper, but floated towards Brand as if it was being held by a hand.
When the paper floated in front of the flame, from the flame, a burning hand reached out and caught the paper steadily, although the hand was burning with flames, but it really had no effect on the paper, and soon, the hand retracted into the flame with the paper.
"Oh?" In the midst of the flames, there was a somewhat unexpected sound, and Ax felt a pair of eyes looking at his body, and even made Ax have the urge to turn around and run.
"Good, it looks like I'm halfway there." There was a burst of laughter from the flames, which Ax had heard in the game before, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying.
"Since you don't have any opinions, then, Noxus and Bilgewater will be handed over to you, as for how to grasp it, you can do it, we will go to fight for that map with all our might, I think, you have no opinion, right?" Master Yi asked inquiringly.
"Happy, hahaha, sure enough, I'm more suitable for fighting, and even now my whole body has begun to tremble." I saw that the flame suddenly trembled wildly at this time, as if a demon was about to be born.
"Let's go!" Master Yi said to Aix, who was already a little prostrated behind him. And Ax has long had this plan, and the madman of the vengeful flame soul Brand really doesn't know why the so-called righteous Demacia would take him in.
The first thing Aix did when he returned to the apartment was to drink water, and he felt that his throat was already smoking, and he would die of thirst if he didn't drink any more water. After drinking a full water, he immediately rushed into the bathroom, took a shower, and changed his clothes.
"What's wrong with you, you didn't go to Shurima, you were so thirsty, and you still smelled of sweat." As Ax walked out of the bathroom in a refreshed state, Tina pinched her nose and complained.
"It's nothing, it's just going to see a madman, nervous." Aix threw himself directly on the couch, picked up the fruit on the table and took a big bite, and replied vaguely while chewing.
"Cowardly fellow, I really doubt how far your mind can take you when you see a man like this." The young man who had been cultivating with Master Yi saw Aix's embarrassed appearance, so he walked over and mocked. The boy seems to regard Ax as a rival in love, sneering at Ax at every opportunity, and showing his heroism by the way, but unfortunately, Tina never looks at him directly.
Ax didn't bother with the boy either, but said to Tina, "You go and pack your things, we need to get out of here?" ”
"Leave? Why, don't you want a map of the Faerie Lands? Tina asked, puzzled.
"It was for that map that we needed to leave. Don't forget, this is Noxus' territory, and if we grab something from them here, do you think we can take it out even if we get it? Therefore, the most advantageous battlefield for us is the dock, once the map is in hand, we can go directly to sea by boat, and even if Noxus sends a warship to chase after us, it will definitely not find us. Aix said negatively.
Tina thought about it, and thought it was right, so she ran directly to her room, packed all the uneaten snacks, and when she came out again, she saw that the little girl's thin body was carrying a burden not much smaller than herself, and Aix was in a cold sweat when she saw it, and said: "You don't have to exaggerate so much, we are not fleeing, we are not fleeing, we are hiding in the mountains and forests for a few years." ”
"But didn't you say we were going to sea? There's no place to sell snacks on the sea, so why don't I prepare for it now, and I'll eat dry food with you when the time comes? Tina said with trepidation, thinking of the days when she had crossed the great barrier with Aix, and that the little girl still had nightmares every night, so that now she had developed a sense of anxiety that whenever she went out, food must be prepared.
"Well, whatever you want, but I warn you, if you become fat, your Mercedes brother won't want you." Aix kindly reminded.
"You don't have to worry about it, you better take care of yourself, Alice may be a fat man now, don't be shocked when you see him." When Tina saw Ax mention her Mercedes brother, she immediately fought back.
"You think everyone loves snacks as much as you do!" After Ax finished speaking, he didn't argue with the little girl, but simply packed up his things, and was ready. When Ax walked out of the room, Master Yi and the boy were already waiting there, and when they saw Ax come out, the four of them left the apartment together.
The docks in Bristol can be considered one of the busiest docks on the Valoran continent, but these days it has been deserted, there are no people, and these are all because of a strange weather forecast. In fact, everyone knows that the real reason is because Bristol officials want to block the port, and the weather forecast is just an excuse, so there are fewer people coming to the docks.
When Ax and his party came to the vicinity of the dock, they saw a deserted appearance, and in this case, several people seemed a little special, especially Tina was carrying a huge package.
"It's a mixed bag, so I think it's better for us to find a place to settle down first." Aix glanced at the deserted street and said to the others.
"Haven't you been to the docks? Most of the places were pubs and brothels, and there were no inns at all, as all the captains would not allow their crew to stay out overnight, no matter how late it was, and there was no place to stay. The young man said disdainfully to Aix, and put on the expression of a victorious general, proud that he had finally crushed Aix.
It was the first time Aix had heard of this, so he turned his head to look at Master Yi to see what he would arrange. And Master Yi seems to have a plan, took the three of them to a dock, after some bargaining, they rented a boat, the boat is not big, the four of them can be controlled, under the guidance of Master Yi, Aix and Tina also learned some basic methods of driving a boat, it is not possible to drive the boat by themselves, but it is still okay to listen to the command and dispatch. So, the four of them drove the boat to the dock together and began the boring time of waiting and watching the sea.
However, in the past few days of waiting, the news of the map of the land of fairies has not arrived, and the trouble has waited a lot. On the docks, the three most common types of people are crews, porters, and ruffians. I don't know what happened to the young man who followed Master Yi, so he offended the hooligans nearby, so they often encountered all kinds of harassment near this small boat, either they were thrown dead rats and dead snakes, or all kinds of noises, and the others were okay, but Tina was so disgusted with these that she couldn't do it.
So, under the pressure of Tina, Ax had to come forward to negotiate with those hooligans, as for why Aix, it was because after the boy talked, the other party not only did not relent, but became more intense. So, at the invitation of Tina's "friendliness", Ax had to come to the base camp of the hooligans.
It is said that it is the base camp, but it is actually the tavern where they usually gather, when they have nothing to do during the day, they will stay here, chat and joke, have nothing to do all day long, and only when they meet a fat sheep, they will go out to knock on a stroke. And the reason why Ax agreed to Tina to come here is not only because of Tina's pressure, but also because although these little hooligans have no ability, they are the head snakes here, and they can always know what news is on the dock at the first time.
As Ax walked into the tavern, he saw a crowd of people playing cards around a table, and the whole tavern was unusually deserted due to the lack of ships docked recently.
Ax looked left and right, and walked directly to the table surrounded by many people, and looked in with his feet like the others, just like the little brothers of these little rascals, and did not see anything outside.
"This brother is very raw, I haven't seen it before, I don't know why I'm here?" Eventually, the stranger was spotted by Aix, and after informing their boss, the man with the cigar in his mouth said to Aix, and the others parted to the side, so that the cigar man could face Aix.
