lol: Bind Syndra at the start

Ryan, who got the reward inexplicably, walked out of the room happily and happened to meet Sarah and Schwarzenegger who had finished the interrogation.

"what's going on?"

Ryan wanted to thank the person behind this.

If it weren't for the wrong place, he would even think that the kind-hearted Noxian Idea King had come to help him practice again!

"Gangplank's henchmen..." Sarah's expression turned pale. "I've been secretly targeting him, but I was very discreet before. Most people thought I was after the bounty, and the pirates I killed were just unlucky.

"But as more and more people gathered around me, Gangplank... oh no, I even think he still doesn't know about this. Maybe his lackeys think something's wrong, so they want to send a few people to warn me."

"Planck really thinks he's the emperor!"

Schwarzenegger said angrily.

On the one hand, his anger was due to Planck's disregard, and on the other hand, it was because Planck did have the capital to ignore them.

At this stage, there is no trace of Sarah's Siren. Although the people under her seem to be powerful, most of them are just fence-sitters who follow the trend.

This situation is a tradition in Bilgewater. Whenever a new person emerges, many people will attach themselves to him. Some people try to become the new king's arms, but more people just want to take advantage of the situation and wait and see.

"Then you are now officially in their sight."

Ryan felt that the lackeys were not all idiots.

These people definitely can't go back, and the other party can see Sarah's attitude from this.

"But there's no need to worry. If he dares to show up, I'll help you deal with him."

Ryan made his first official commitment.

"I haven't accepted your proposal yet..." Sarah was a little flustered.

Ryan's previous words extended her vision, or goal, a lot further. Before, she just wanted revenge.

And now she's starting to think about life after revenge.

"Just think of it as me trying to trick you into focusing on finding demons for me. Besides, I have a feeling Gangplank has been the emperor here for so many years, he couldn't possibly be unaware of Tahm Kench's affairs.

"It's impossible for Tahm Kench to leave such a complete villain alone. There may be other connections between them..."

This is Ryan's guess.

Since Swain and demons can work together.

So why not Planck?

It's not like Tahm Kench is some principled and steadfast demon.

Chapter 335 The action begins

Ryan's speculation was not initially accepted by others.

But after he spoke out the secret of Noxus...about the unknown personal relationship between the tactician leader Swain and the demon crow.

Even Schwarzenegger, whose muscles were several times bigger than his head, felt that Tam Kench and Gangplank must have been in cahoots with each other for a long time. The strong man looked towards the vast ocean with hatred.

"We all know Gangplank's character. He's someone who takes pleasure in doing evil. This bastard might not believe in the devil's ways, but he definitely doesn't mind using devilish methods to consolidate his position."

"Before Gangplank, how often did the position of pirate boss rotate?"

Ryan asked Schwarzenegger.

Every wrinkle on the old pirate's face was a mark left on him by Bilgewater.

He knew more about the history of this chaotic harbor than Sarah.

After all, Miss Fortune was only studying Gangplank, and the tight time and deep hatred left her no time to be distracted.

"About five to ten years," Schwarzenegger recalled. "No matter how glorious a pirate was, he was still a pirate in essence. We... In addition to facing the threats of the ocean and weather, every time they went out to sea to plunder, it was like dancing with death.

"The more powerful the pirate, the stronger the opponents they will encounter. Besides, the bigwigs in other places will not allow a big pirate to thrive here for too long."

Schwarzenegger undoubtedly revealed the deepest "dark side" of Bilgewater.

This city of freedom and chaos is actually a puppet city in essence.

Those areas that appear to maintain civilized order cannot be as spotless as a mirror.

Someone has to do the dirty work for them, and the pirates of Bilgewater are undoubtedly the best 'black gloves'.

But the glove can bite people if it becomes a spirit, so that group of people will not allow a big pirate to become powerful.

Only by constantly changing the pirate kings can they always remotely control the entire port from behind the scenes.

If Gangplank's actions were viewed from the pirates' perspective, he might be seen as a leader who resisted manipulation and pursued freedom.

After all, he had been in power for much longer than his predecessors, and he even dared to directly challenge Noxian warships.

In Ryan's previous world, this action was equivalent to Somali pirates directly looting a US warship.

Afterwards, apart from making harsh remarks, the United States did not take any substantive action, at least not on the surface.

"This proves that in addition to the pirate forces in the open, he also has other helpers in secret..." Ryan's speculation had no basis, but this statement would undoubtedly be accepted by both Sarah and Schwarzenegger.

Because Gangplank's "reign" time was obviously longer than other pirates, but he didn't seem to have any special strengths.

"He is very close to the Baru people." Sarah told the information she had investigated.

The Baru people come from other small islands in the Blue Flame Archipelago, and this group of people is the main base of believers of the Bearded Lady.

The pirates of Bilgewater are resistant to the Baru people, but Gangplank, the pirate king, has an ambiguous attitude towards them.

"It is said that he is familiar with the priests of the Baru people." Schwarzenegger said that this was a gossip he heard from an old friend.

After all, neither Planck nor the Sea Beast Priest were people that ordinary pirates could come into contact with, so they had no way of finding any substantial evidence.

This so-called intelligence did not give Ryan much clues, because he already knew this information in the background story.

He and many netizens in his previous life expressed shock at this strange pairing.

After all, the appearance and figure of the Sea Beast Priest Illaoi are too outstanding, and this kind of excellence is beyond the acceptance of most ordinary people.

But Ryan has also seen some netizens with advanced aesthetics express their passionate love for Illaoi.

They even leave messages under certain fan works, hoping that the author will include Illaoi.

Ryan didn't understand this, but he was shocked and silently classified this group of people as Planck's enthusiasts.

It is not ruled out that some people love Gangplank in their hearts, but it is inconvenient to reveal it, so they can only use Illaoi as a shield.

His thoughts wandered a bit, but Ryan immediately brought them back.

“It’s impossible for the Baru people to help Gangplank defend his position. After all, one priest cannot make decisions for all the Baru people.

"The priest's relationship with Gangplank is probably the same kind of gossip you hear in Bilgewater among the Baru people—the kind that shouldn't be exposed to the public."

Ryan would never be like the protagonists in some novels who, in order to hide their identity as a so-called time traveler, would hold on to information that could help the team.

In Ionia, where the Ionian will might spy on him at any time, he dared to speak his mind.

In Bilgewater, where the overall strength level is obviously lower, he will only do whatever he wants.

"Are you saying that the Pirate King and Nagakabouros's emissary are engaging in a love affair that goes against their respective positions and identities?"

Sarah's eyes revealed the look of a woman who had just seen gossip.

Ryan turned his head to look at Sindra, and found a hint of obvious curiosity hidden under the other's indifferent expression.

He really wanted to reveal some more inside information to upgrade tonight's rewards, but the damn designer didn't write it!

So Ryan decided to look for clues himself. He looked at Mark and asked, "When did you meet Tahm Kench?"

He still felt that there was a dirty deal between Tam and Gangplank.

This kind of intuition is often called the master's intuition or a chill of darkness in many novels.

"It's always after get off work." Mark was like a soulless living dead, and only when people asked him questions would he show a little bit of life. He looked at the sky and said, "Maybe we can set off now.

"Before, it always waited for me, this time we can wait for him."

......

......

Ryan agreed to Mark's proposal.

So while the sun was still setting, he went out with Mark, Schwarzenegger and Sarah.

Sindra still stayed in the tavern to "guard the house". She had no interest in the noisy tavern.

The taverns in Bilgewater were almost identical. When Ryan and his companions passed the fourth tavern, which looked unremarkable to Ryan, Mark suddenly said, "This is it."

Ryan looked up at the tavern sign: Flame Tavern.

At the same time, Sarah leaned over and whispered in his ear, "The owner behind this tavern used to work for Gangplank."

"I said there must be a connection."

Ryan thought for a moment and began to assign a plan of action. "Mark, go in. Just as before, do what happened now. Schwarzenegger, disguised as an ordinary customer, will keep an eye on you. I'll be waiting at the entrance of the alley across the street."

He wasn't sure if Tam could sense him, so he chose a moderate distance.

"And me?"

Sarah asked.

Ryan's eyes swept over Sarah's cool outfit and said, "If you're willing to change into something warmer, come in. If not, come with me to the alley entrance and wait for news!"

My right wrist is injured and it hurts when I lift it up. It took me a long time to code this chapter.

Brothers, can you please support me? It’s so difficult!

Chapter 336: Tahm Kench

Even if we put aside the title of Miss Fortune, a woman like Sarah who suddenly appeared in the tavern would instantly attract the attention of most men.

Of course, Planck and those who shared his advanced aesthetics are not included.

Schwarzenegger's size is also exaggerated, but it does not look out of place among pirates.

Because not many pirates would be interested in a burly old man.

However, Ryan felt that an old man was not safe. Time might not destroy Schwarzenegger's muscles, but it could blur his eyes and perception.

Compared to this, a 'hero' like Sarah, who is famous in another world, is safer.

Although Sarah has an unusual obsession with her cool outfits, she knows how to make choices at critical moments.

Schwarzenegger bought a large cape nearby, and the rough black fabric covered Sarah's curvy curves.

But Ryan was still not satisfied with the flaming hair color, so he asked Schwarzenegger to find a large hat to cover Sarah's hair.

"It's almost there now."

Ryan looked at the trio in front of him.

A burly old man;

a skinny young man;

There was also a person who was covered completely and no information could be seen.

"Don't worry, I have experience with this kind of thing..."

Sarah entered the pub with confidence.

After passing through the heavy wooden door, the three of them seemed to have traveled into another world.

The noisy clamor seemed to replace the air, penetrating every pore and reaching the depths of the soul.

The strong alcohol becomes the best booster, helping every alcoholic reach the paradise of their dreams.

The combination of pirates and spirits is as harmonious as soy milk and fried dough sticks.

Mark glanced around and then whispered to Schwarzenegger beside him: "My previous seat has been taken by someone else."

As a Loser, he certainly couldn't have any exclusive seat in the tavern.

The position Mark was talking about was the one where Tahm Kench came to him.

He wasn't sure if the demon's presence had anything to do with his seat, but he remembered the young man's advice: Pay attention to details!

"Then change positions." Schwarzenegger didn't understand what Mark meant.

But Sarah took immediate action and walked to the corner position Mark mentioned.
