LOL: Let me touch your steel

"Ms. Sarah, let's make a deal. You let us go, and I'll win enough money for you in the casino to pay the bounty for both of us. How about that?"

"Girl! Say something! My hands are itching!"

Listening to the constant chattering in her ears, Sarah, who could no longer bear it, took out her pistol and hit Graves's sack twice:

"Shut up, both of you."

"It hurts, it hurts! You're so cruel, little girl!"

"But Miss Sarah, you have to tell us why you arrested us, right? Even if we die, we should know clearly, right?"

The rough voice and the slightly magnetic voice intertwined together made Zhang Xu laugh involuntarily.

Drizzt and Graves are surprisingly interesting...

The two of them sang in unison, making Zhang Xu feel like he was listening to a crosstalk.

"Don't waste your energy. The one who arrested you was not her. It was me."

"You? Where did you come from?"

"Brother, we didn't provoke you, did we? Or...were we the rich man whose money we won? Let's make a deal. I'll return the money to you and you'll let us go. How about that?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood."

Zhang Xu smiled intriguingly, shook the sack in his hand and whispered:

"I am sending you two to the Baju temple."

“Baru Temple?”

Drizzt and Graves spoke almost in unison, and even their voices suddenly became much higher:

"Dude! You're kidding me, right?"

"You can't go to the Baru Temple! Hey, hey, hey, don't do this to us!"

Hearing the two's reactions, Zhang Xu frowned subconsciously.

It sounds like they both know what will happen after being sent to the Baru Temple? Or are they simply afraid of the temple that enshrines the gods?

Chapter 185 Illaoi

"Miss Fortune, you're much faster than I thought."

The old witch, the priestess of the Baru Temple, spoke in an unpleasant voice and looked at the two sacks at Sarah's feet with some surprise.

She had never expected that Sarah would act so quickly.

It had only been a day since they last met. Sarah had caught Drizzt and Graves so quickly, which was really a big surprise for her!

Facing the old witch's praise, Sarah's face showed no joy, but instead a hint of impatience:

"Stop talking nonsense! Where's my second mate? Give him back to me!"

"You are so anxious, Miss Fortune."

The old witch smiled slightly, waved the staff in her hand and lightly tapped the ground. A blue light bloomed instantly, and Sarah's second mate suddenly fell to the ground.

"Snake Mother, I have kept our promise."

As she spoke, the old witch waved her staff again, and the two sacks that tied up Trist and Graves seemed to be lifted up by some magical power and followed behind the old witch.

"It looks like...we are in trouble."

"No one is going to save us, right?"

"So I said, sometimes fate doesn't work that well!"

As if realizing that they had fallen into the hands of the priests of the Baru Temple, a quarrel that was not like a quarrel suddenly broke out from the sack.

Watching the old witch slowly leaving, Sarah remembered Zhang Xu's instructions beforehand, and quickly took out the blue card belonging to Drizzt from her pocket. She took two quick steps and stuffed the "Fate" that Drizzt relied on into the mouth of the sack.

"Oh! It looks like the situation isn't that bad."

"Lady Luck is smiling...it's all in the cards."

......

Watching the figure moving away in front of her, Sarah looked at Zhang Xu who had reappeared with some curiosity:

"Give the card to Drizzt now. What if he just runs away?"

"Don't worry, I've already told him. As long as he holds the card of fate, he can escape at any time. So, I specifically told him to wait until the sacrifice begins before escaping."

"As for Graves... I was afraid that this guy might not be very smart and couldn't act out the performance that he would after being caught, so I didn't tell him at all."

"But...how did you convince Drizzt? He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would just obey."

Hearing Sarah's doubts, Zhang Xu didn't say much, but just raised his arm and raised his fist.

The meaning is obvious: rely on fists.

Sarah looked at Zhang Xu's actions in astonishment, and for a moment she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This is the greatest pass of Bilgewater. As a Bilgewater native, she actually forgot this herself.

"All right."

Zhang Xu clapped his hands, attracting the attention of Kaisa, Janna, and Sivir:

"Next, I will take you to the sacrificial site of the Baru Temple. Naga Kaboros may or may not show up. But no matter what, you still have to be more careful. If you find something wrong, come closer to me immediately. I don't think that guy can tear the void and hurt you."

Seeing that everyone listened to his words seriously, Zhang Xu turned his gaze to Ryze standing beside him.

"Master, if there is any danger this time... you should help me, right?"

"Why should I help you?"

Ryze asked back, "It has always been you who wanted to find Naga Kaboros. If this angered her, that is your business. Why do you have to involve me?"

"Is it true?"

Zhang Xu narrowed his eyes and smiled, looking just like a cunning fox:

"But...if I can't defeat her, I'll have to use the power of the runes."

"no!"

When it comes to runes, Ryze's attitude immediately changes, but Zhang Xu still pretends to be innocent:

"But I have Kaisa and the others by my side. I can't just sit there and wait for death, right? If I can't beat her on my own, then I can only use the power of runes. What if I am bewitched by the power of runes? What should I do then?"

"you!"

Based on his contact with Zhang Xu during this period and his understanding of him, Ryze was sure that Zhang Xu was not the kind of person who would abuse the power of runes. But this set of words did capture his heart to some extent.

Although he knew that he might have been deceived again, Ryze could only nod in agreement reluctantly.

"I will not take the initiative to attack Naga Kaboros."

As he spoke, Ruiz glared at Zhang Xu fiercely: "Don't think you can use this trick to drive me next time! I tell you, no way!"

This seemingly ferocious look couldn't cause any harm to Zhang Xu at all. He was just so thick-skinned, there was nothing he could do about it.

Even if you say this behavior is shameless, I will admit it, okay?

If being thick-skinned could get Ryze's help, Zhang Xu believed that eleven out of ten time travelers would be shameless.

Who made Ryze a rune mage who is determined to protect Runeland from being destroyed by runes?

“Is this… the Baru Temple in Bilgewater?”

Sarah lay on Xina's back, looking down at the temple below from high above, a look of astonishment gradually appearing in her eyes.

This was her first time to see the Baru Temple, a religious place dedicated to the gods.

From the outside, the entire temple looks like a sculpture of the body of Naga Kabouros, with strange and rugged shapes everywhere, while above the temple is a lush green color - there are large areas of lush green plants growing there, as if they have merged with the temple itself, full of natural breath.

Overall, the temple is solemn and dignified, with a very obvious and strong religious atmosphere everywhere.

In front of the temple is a platform paved with bluestone slabs. In the center of the platform is not the common altar like in other temples, but a bottomless pool.

The size of the pool is very exaggerated, as if a huge platform was artificially dug out from the middle, and the pool was filled with dark water, just like...

"Ink like..."

Kassa murmured subconsciously and shuddered uncontrollably.

This pool of water can cause extreme discomfort just by looking at it.

"Wait... who is that person? Why would the priest who made the deal with Sarah be so humble in front of her?"

Xiweier's voice caught Zhang Xu's attention. Looking in the direction of Xiweier's finger, he saw a burly figure.

The priest's respectful attitude showed her status.

And this rough demeanor and face seem a little familiar...

Sea Beast Priest, Illaoi!

Chapter 186: Sacrifice? Trial!

Zhang Xu noticed something unusual.

If I remember correctly, Illaoi is a high-ranking priest of the Naga Kaboros sect, the True One. As the True One of the sect, Illaoi directly serves her god and removes all obstacles to the endless flow of the universe.

Logically speaking, it is just an ordinary sacrifice, and Illaoi would not appear here.

While the other priests of the Snake Mother are busy protecting the inhabitants from the ravages of the Soul-Eating Night, the True Ones will face the black fog and rely on the sea beast's most powerful will to repel it.

Unless, this sacrifice is very unusual.

Zhang Xu calmed the people around him with gestures. He was not in a hurry to find the answer, but read it patiently.

Soon, the people around the pool began to get busy. The bluestone road on the platform had been thoroughly cleaned, and these low-level priests no longer needed to do these trivial tasks. They knelt on the ground devoutly, facing the huge pool, and kept calling out.

"Snake Mother, please listen to the greatest call of your devout believers!"

"Holy snake bless you!"

Accompanied by calls again and again, two figures were slowly brought over.
