LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 476 "Unemployed" Lucian

Bilgewater, Slaughter Wharf.

When the fishing boat that Lucian was on was slowly approaching the coast, and the bustling cityscape of Port Piraeus with a new look appeared in front of his eyes, he couldn't help showing a touch of surprise on his stern face with bitterness and hatred.

"Haha." The old captain who kindly let him take a ride, couldn't help but came to his side with a proud smile on his face: "Mr. Lucian, as I said a long time ago, you will definitely be taken by Bilgewater. The change was astonishing."

"This indeed exceeded my expectations." Lucian admitted frankly.

He had already guessed that Bilgewater would undergo great changes under the leader's rule.

After all, the reputation of the leader has now spread throughout Runeterra.

And as a Holy Gun Ranger who always travels in all directions, Lucian has also passed through the Shuangcheng several times during his journey in the past two years.

He had witnessed with his own eyes the great changes that the leader brought to Zaun and Picheng, and driven by curiosity, he had a complete understanding of the thoughts and theories of Goddess Janna.

He is well aware of the strength and progress of the leader, and he has long guessed that Bilgewater will become prosperous under the management of the leader, like Zaun.

However, Lucian was secretly surprised by the speed and magnitude of Bilgewater's changes.

Looking at the clean streets and the prosperous cityscape, he thought he had come to Picheng in a daze.

"It's actually not surprising." The old captain said, "We are smaller than the port, we have a lot of money, and we have the support of Comrade Zu'an. Can we not start the construction quickly?"

"A lot of money." Lucian recalled the past.

Indeed, Bilgewater has never been short of money.It is located between Shurima, Twin Cities, Ionia, and Noxus' maritime trade routes, and has extremely rich fishery resources, as well as a complete arms and shipbuilding industry.

Such conditions should not have been poor.

But in the past, more than 95% of the land in Piraeus was chaotic slums, and [-]% of the people lived in extreme poverty.

Looking at Piraeus Port, which has been completely renewed in less than two years, Lucian can deeply understand what kind of disaster those insects have brought to this land.

"Planck died unjustly." He couldn't help sighing.

Lucian originally had a slight liking for Planck.

But now it seems that Planck is not even a qualified feudal lord.

He can't even end the situation where there are many pirates and gangs in his own territory, and he can't even provide a stable order under his rule. He can only join hands with those big and small pirate leaders to turn the Port of Piraeus into a poor chaos. of lawlessness.

Compared with the later leaders, Planck deserved to be eliminated by history.

"However." Saying it again.

Leaders are far better than Planck in terms of construction and development, but what about security?

Lucian has not forgotten his true mission.His mission is not to build a mortal society, but to resist the black mist and undead for mankind.

And the reason why he had a slight liking for Planck in the past.

It is because this King of Pirates is able to lead the people of Pirates well every year to resist the attack of the undead on the soul-eating night, and protect the city in front of the black fog of the Shadow Island.

I don't know, what is the leader doing?

It should be much stronger, right?
Lucian was thinking so.

"Mr. Lucian." The old captain looked at the approaching pier in front of him and said, "It will be the night of the soul eclipse in two days. Since you have been to Bilgewater before, I think you know what it means." What are you wearing?"

"Yes." Lucian nodded.

He unconsciously stroked the holy stone pistol on his waist.Of course he knew what Soul Eclipse Night was.

Every year at this time, the black mist of the undead on the Shadow Isles would roar and spread to the vast sea beyond the Shadow Isles like a tropical cyclone finally brewing.

As the closest human settlement to the Shadow Isles, Bilgewater is unlucky enough to be attacked by black mist every year on this day.

It is inappropriate to say that Soul Eater Night is like Chinese New Year to Hong Kong people.

It's just that what the people of Piraeus are facing is not the Nian beast that can be scared away with firecrackers, but the army of undead that comes with the invasion of black mist.

These undead are not easy to deal with.In the past, even with the protection of Planck and the Baru Order, many people in Piraeus still died in the black mist every year.

"Mr. Lucian." So the old captain kindly reminded him: "After you get ashore, you can follow me to the port immigration office to register."

"When the time comes, the leader will arrange you to the shelter and keep you safe through this soul-eating night."

"Refuge?" Lucian froze for a moment: "The leader also built a refuge for everyone?"

"Yes." The old captain told him: "After the leaders took over Piraeus Port, they converted several underground docks originally controlled by pirates into large temporary shelters."

"The shelter is specially protected by the elite fighters of the leader and the priests of Baru. It is absolutely foolproof."

"Yeah." Lucian nodded secretly.This is indeed good governance.

With the power of Planck, in fact, he can only barely resist the attack of the undead, but is unable to protect all the people of Piraeus.

Even putting aside strength, just organizing the evacuation work of tens of thousands of people, but also ensuring safety and order, and no chaos. The difficulty of this is enough to overload the brains of those pirate leaders.

"However, don't bother." Lucian declined the old captain's kindness again: "You don't need to take me to register. I don't need to take refuge either."

He looked down at the holy stone pistol on his waist, and his eyes quietly became deep: "The ones who should take refuge are them."

"This..." The old captain had a delicate expression: "Are you here looking for excitement?"

Ordinary people can't avoid Soul Erosion Night, but there are also people who do the opposite.Some foreign mages who are interested in necromancy will always come to Piraeus Port to "seek excitement" on this day.

"No" Lucian was about to explain.

But I only heard the old captain say: "Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I suggest you go to the refuge, just for the sake of insurance."

"In fact, on the day of Soul Eclipse Night, you may not even see a single undead on the street."

"?" Lucian asked with a question mark on his face.

Didn't the undead swarm into Piraeus Harbor on the night of the soul eclipse, running all over the streets?How can you not see it?
"Because the policy has changed this year." The old captain said, "Last year we were still the same as before. We exchanged fire with the undead in the city of Piraeus."

Last year's soul eclipse night happened almost two months before the decisive battle in Balua.

At that time, Bilgewater had already formed a mighty naval fleet, ready to rush to Ionia to fight the Noxus invaders to the death.

Everyone knows what happened next.Even Noxus' Imperial Navy and Vladimir's Undead Legion were blown to pieces by the terrifying firepower of this fleet.

The undead from the Shadow Isle rushed to invade Piraeus at this time.
In the end, the devils all ran away crying.

The only problem is that this battle was fought in Piraeus City.

Although they all used "precision-guided" ammunition with the blessing of true faith, it was inevitable in the end that the city of Port Piraeus was blown into ruins.

"At that time, it was just in time for the renovation of the old city of Bilgewater, and the demolition was carried out by the way."

"But this year is different. New cities have been built this year." The old captain looked at the brand-new city ahead: "This is our new home built brick by brick. How can we turn it into a battlefield?"

"." Lucian was silent.

He finally discovered the biggest change in Port Piraeus.

Today's Bilgewater people have a kind of flourishing self-confidence.Whether facing life or the undead, they no longer have fear and confusion.

In the past, the people of Piraeus could only hide in their shabby rooms, shivering in the dim light of cheap whale dung vigil candles.

But now, they can all laugh and discuss how to pass the level in Soul Eclipse Night without injury.

"Then what are you going to do?" Lucian asked curiously.

"What else can I do." The old captain smiled and said, "Go out to sea to fight devils, and intercept the black mist directly on the sea!"

"You can do it?" Lucian couldn't believe it.

"Of course." The old captain replied confidently: "It's just a group of small fish and shrimp that leaked from the Shadow Island. With our current firepower and organizational strength, we dismissed them casually."

"There are tens of thousands of undead souls in the area, heh. If he dares to commit an offense, he will definitely come and never come back!"

"This..." Lucian frowned.

He thought that the people of Hong Kong were confident just now, but looking at it now, this is not self-confidence, it is clearly arrogant!

After a series of great achievements under the leadership of the leader, they have begun to swell a bit.

"To be honest, if the Shadow Isles hadn't been completely polluted by undead magic and turned into a rotten place, there was really no way to clean it up. We might have counterattacked the Shadow Isles long ago and solved the problem once and for all."

The old captain's bragging became louder and louder. Finally, Lucian couldn't help but interrupted: "Mr. Captain."

"I think you, especially those who manage Bilgewater, should approach the Shadow Isles issue with a more cautious attitude."

It's fine to kill the undead, but also counterattack the Shadow Island?

"The dark power hidden on Shadow Island is more terrifying than you imagined." Lucian said solemnly.

Unexpectedly: "Hidden dark power?"

The old captain was stunned for a moment, then replied naturally: "I know, it's just the 'clown king'!"

Lucian: "?"

"It's the Ruined King, Viego," said the old captain. "Everyone in Bilgewater knows it."

Lucian: "."

He suddenly doubted his ears.

Even in the secret inheritance of the Light Sentinel Cult, there are only very vague records of the existence of this ruined king.

Even he couldn't accurately call out the name of the ruined king, but he vaguely knew that there was such a person who was inseparable from the origin of the black mist in the Shadow Isles.

But now, an uncle fisherman from Bilgewater was able to accurately call out the name of the Ruined King, and even gave him a very unfriendly nickname.

"How do you guys know this?" Lucian couldn't help asking.

"It's written in the literacy textbook. It's the chapter on the history of Gufuguang Island."

Lucian: "."

The leader's history textbook was compiled in detail under the personal guidance of Li Wei, the prophet of spoilers.

What's more, in the leader's team and alliance, there are thousands of people like Janna, Heimerdinger, Kenan, LeBlanc, Azir, Nasus, Renekton, and Xerath. The living ancestor who started.

To them, history is like a diary, and a casual recollection can reveal countless lost historical materials that make historians' blood boil.

As a result, the gold content of this history textbook is naturally extremely high.

Many ancient histories that were forgotten by later generations are now clearly recorded.

So, unfortunately, with his defiant behavior, Fyego "won" the last place in the ranking of the successive kings of Runeterra, and became a joke among history lovers.

Historians in Piltover commented that he was "unlike a gentleman".

The Bilgewater people simply called this guy "The Clown King".

After all, in the past thousands of years, an unknown number of people in Port Piraeus have died tragically under the wave of undead in the night of eating souls.

Now let these Bilgewater people who lost their relatives and friends in the night of soul eclipse know that the root of all these sufferings comes from the love of a foolish king for his wife thousands of years ago
Of course, they will not have any positive comments on this stupid king, they will only hate and call him the "clown king" with contempt.

"This" Lucian really didn't expect it.

The legendary ruined king has now become a well-known historical meme under the rule of the leader.

He was too shocked to speak, but what the old captain said next shocked him even more:

"Last year's soul eclipse night, President Li Wei specifically told us that this ruined king is now sleeping in the Shadow Island."

"If he is revived, it will cause the undead black mist of Shadow Island to spread out of control and invade the entire world."

You also know this?

Lucian was surprised.

Then I heard the old captain say: "However, don't worry. It's impossible for this ruined king to cheat his corpse."

In the original world line, Thresh and Planck used the Baru treasure unearthed from Bilgewater to break the seal and resurrect him.

And in this world, Planck, who was a key figure, died long ago.Bilgewater has already been firmly controlled by the leader, and it is impossible for Thresh to infiltrate it.

So Fyego would not have been resurrected like the original world line.

This heaven-defying thing, which can even be corroded and controlled by the Apocalypse Karma and the War Protoss, has long been impossible to appear in this world.

Of course, the old captain didn't know about these things.

But he knew one thing that Li Wei told them: "Among the undead in the Shadow Island, there is a reactionary who deliberately wants to resurrect the ruined king and conspire to subvert the human world."

"As long as you kill it, no one will resurrect the Ruined King."

"This..." Lucian's heart moved.

He quickly asked, "Who is this person?"

"Thresh." The old captain calmly said the name that made Lucian unforgettable: "That guy always carries a ghost lantern in his hand, so it's easy to recognize."

Lucian was silent for a while.

Then, as if going mad, he tightly grasped the old captain's arm and asked, "Where is that Thresh? How do you know it has a lantern in its hand? Have you seen it?"

"This..." The old captain didn't know why Lucian was so excited.

But he still responded cooperatively: "Of course I have."

"President Li Wei told us its name and appearance at the beginning, so that we could find this leader of the anti-human forces from the army of the undead in the night of eating souls."

"Then where is he now?!" Lucian asked impatiently, clutching the holy stone pistol at his waist.

"Where is it?" The old captain's expression was strange: "Where else can he be? President Li Wei called for him to be killed. Can we still let him go back alive and continue to toss his conspiracy?"

"That guy was blown to death in the night of the soul eclipse last year."

As he said that, the old captain patted his chest proudly: "At that time, in order to support the Ionia battlefield, I was still a temporary sailor in the navy."

"I fired the last shot to kill that little devil."

Lucian: "."

Thresh, the warden of Soul Lock, killed his wife's enemy. He had chased his sworn enemy for several years, and he just died like this?
It was blown to death by an unknown old fisherman?

This.
Lucian suddenly felt dazed.

The revenge of his dead wife had already been avenged a year ago.

And the black mist of the undead in Shadow Island has been dealt with by the leader without any threat.

The two most important missions in his life were completed inexplicably.He, the Paladin, was just "unemployed".

What should he do?What is the meaning of his existence?
Lucian looked at the holy stone pistol in his hand that had lost its target, and was silent and speechless.

And when he was thinking about whether to go back to the hometown of Demacia, where he first met his wife, and spend the rest of his life alone.
The old captain sighed again: "It's really strange to say."

"At that time, we bombarded that old devil to death. Unexpectedly, after the lantern in that devil's hand was blown up, a young girl came out out of thin air."

"The girl said she had been locked in Thresh's lantern and we saved her."

"What?" Lucian raised his head abruptly.

Thresh's lantern actually has a living person imprisoned in it?
"Who is she? What is her name? What does she look like?"

"It seems to be called Senna?" The old captain tried to recall: "It looks like she has Shurima blood, and she looks pretty. She also carries a strange magic cannon with her, and no one will forget it when she sees it. "

Lucian's pupils trembled violently, and his body trembled with excitement.

"Where? Where is she now?!"

"It's in Bilgewater." The old captain replied, "She said that she and her husband were separated a few years ago, and Port Piraeus is the most likely place for her husband to appear."

"That's why this Miss Senna stayed in Bilgewater. I heard people say that she later joined the leader and became the captain of the security defense of Port Piraeus."

"Huh? Wait. Where are you going?"

He hadn't finished speaking.The boat has not docked yet.

But Lucian had already jumped out from the bow of the ship, and couldn't wait to jump onto the pier dozens of meters away.

"Thank you, Captain!"
