The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 302 The Ghost of Blood Harbor at Slaughter Pier

Wait until everyone leaves.

Moreira's body, like a giant bear, trembled unconsciously, revealing his inner uneasiness and fear.

"There's something wrong with that guy."

Moreira whispered to himself, with a hint of imperceptible fear in his voice.

Thin beads of cold sweat broke out from his forehead, like little cold snakes, crawling silently across his cheeks.

Moreira closed his eyes and recalled the scene when he just met Huo Jixing.

Every movement, every look, seems ordinary, but it has different meanings.

Moreira took a deep breath, and the fire in his chest was extinguishing.

He originally wanted to teach Huo Jixing some lessons and let him understand the power and majesty represented by the name "Hunting Tooth".

Suoke looked excitedly and pointed across the Hoji star to the islands in the distance.

Huo Jixing appeared on the deck, facing the cool sea breeze, looking deeply into the distance.

"We'll be in Bilgewater soon."

Here, one can become rich and powerful or one's family can be destroyed in just the blink of an eye.

They are either returning from their voyage, or preparing to leave port to find new prey.

rule?

Suoke frequently mentioned this prosperous and chaotic port city in his ears.

As the Tooth Hunter pirate ship approached, the surrounding waters became lively.

There are some weird and ferocious ships traveling on the sea.

In the waters of Bilgewater, Moreira owned a formidable pirate ship, how could he compromise so easily.

As the leader of this group of pirates, Moreira's every decision will affect the fate of the Hunting Tooth pirate ship.

Then he called his first mate and Barnes to tell him his decision.

When the Hunting Tooth pirate ship returns.

They waved their weapons and shouted wildly at the ships passing by, looking full of provocation and arrogance.

Blue Flame Islands.

On the quiet sea, a black pirate ship was sailing slowly, with splashing waves hitting the hull.

On the Hunter Tooth Pirate Ship, his word is the rule and no one can refute it.

In fact, when Moreira was about to take action, his instinct told him that it was best not to do so.

Moreira opened the door, and the sea breeze roared in, blowing his thick beard.

Sea snake hunters, dockside gangs, and smugglers come from all over Valoran to settle here.

Because on the winding streets of Bilgewater, no one cares about your past.

For those fleeing trial, debt, and persecution, the city offered a new lease of life.

"This is the Blue Flame Islands."

Bilgewater!
It is a city free from any formal government and trade regulations.

On these pirate ships, many shirtless and cruel-looking pirates came out.

In the scene just now, it seemed that he was showing the kindness of his elders to Suoke.

That night, a grand celebration dinner was held on the Hunting Tooth pirate ship.

During this ocean voyage, it was already a huge harvest to obtain the green sacs of the turtle fish.

After the celebration, the Tooth-Hunting pirate ship began its return journey under the light of the morning sun.

The crew members laughed and enjoyed this rare happy time.

Watcher's Sea, Southern Sea.

"We just happened to catch the tauer fish. Let's go back to Bilgewater first. We'll plan the rest later."

This is the feeling Moreira once had when facing the legendary ghost in Blood Harbor.

Soon, the continuous islands appeared on the horizon, like a string of bright pearls inlaid in the rippling blue sea.

Therefore, when encountering something important, he will listen to the opinions of those around him.

The fish is delicious and the wine is fragrant.

Because Huo Jixing's seemingly weak body actually posed a fatal threat to him.

After hearing Moreira's decision, both Barnes and the first mate agreed and felt they could return.

Huo Jixing nodded slightly and said nothing more.

It is a group of islands far away from the mainland of Valoran.

At the edge of the archipelago, there is a unique port city.

These pirates have long been accustomed to running rampant in this sea area.

They ignore the rules and only follow their own desires and interests.

The crew of the Hunting Tooth Pirate Ship also appeared on the deck, taking out their weapons and getting ready to deal with it.

In this sea area, if you want to survive, you must maintain vigilance and combat effectiveness.

But as they got closer to Bilgewater, the pirates around them became quieter.

Although Bilgewater is an extremely dangerous place, there are some simple rules to protect the common people nearby.

These rules were left behind by the former Bandit King Gangplank.

At the same time, he also received support from several of the most prominent captains to stabilize order in Bilgewater.

The waves rose one after another, rocking the Tooth Hunter pirate ship.

Huo Jixing looked far away, and a huge harbor came into view.

The harbor is surrounded by steep straits, and the towering cliffs act as natural barriers, tightly surrounding the harbor.

Looking from a distance, the cliffs seem to reach into the sky, which is daunting.

There are several pirate ships of different sizes docked in the harbor, with flags flying, showing the prosperity and hustle and bustle here.

Huo Jixing could feel the pirate atmosphere permeating the harbor, free and wild.

After the Huntertooth pirate ship entered Bilgewater Bay Harbor.

Captain Moreira came out and directed the pirates to get busy.

"Where should we go first?"

Barnes stood behind Moreira and asked.

"To the slaughterhouse."

Moreira had already made his decision, and the first mate at the stern helm drove the Hunter Tooth Pirate Ship toward the left side of the harbor.

The Sea of ​​Watchers is too vast, with endless sea areas and many sea beasts.

As the only port city nearby, Bilgewater is attacked by sea beasts from time to time.

As a result, hunting and handling these giant creatures has spawned many lucrative industries.

There are many large sea hunting ships that will drag the killed sea animals back to the port and cut them into meat, oil, skin, scales, etc.

Even bones and teeth were sold on the burgeoning dockside market.

Over the years, a bloody dock was created for processing the corpses of sea beasts.

Slaughter dock!

The Huntertooth pirate ship sailed slowly.

Go around the steep cliff and enter a red sea.

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly and saw the bones of huge sea beasts hanging in the air.

There are also ships docked at the pier.

Due to long-term seawater erosion and accumulation of oil pollution, there is an unspeakable smell permeating the dock.

It has the salty smell of sea water and the strong smell of rust.

Huo Jixing noticed the busy crowd on the dock and thought of the dock workers Suoke mentioned.

The work at the slaughterhouse is continuous day and night, cutting up and processing the captured sea animal carcasses, and finally turning them into profitable commodities.

And this kind of work attracts countless people who want to live, and it becomes their way of survival.

The arrival of the Huntertooth pirate ship immediately attracted the attention of the dock workers.

Many people smelled the smell of sea animals and ran over quickly, waiting for the ship to dock.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Tooth Hunter pirate ship docked.

Barnes immediately jumped off the deck, found some familiar foremen, and ordered them to find some dock workers. On the bustling dock.

Barnes methodically directed the dockworkers to unload the pieces of sea beast meat and offal from the ship.

These precious cargoes were tightly wrapped in ice and although they had lost some of their value after long periods of storage, they were still able to bring in considerable profits.

The dock workers suddenly became busy.

Occasionally, someone would communicate with the pirates and ask about the gains and experiences of the voyage.

But under the strict orders of Captain Moreira, the pirates simply sent these curious dockworkers away without revealing much information.

By the time most of the sea animal meat and internal organs are almost processed.

Captain Moreira signaled that everyone could disperse.

While himself and the first mate, Barnes carried the barrels covered with thick cloth to the depths of the slaughterhouse.

They walked through the busy dock, bypassed piles of huge sea beast bones, and came to a relatively remote corner.

There is a dilapidated hut here, surrounded by a mysterious and depressing atmosphere.

Moreira pushed open the door and motioned for Barnes and the first mate to follow with the barrels.

On the Hunting Tooth pirate ship, except for the pirates who stayed to guard, everyone else left one after another in search of an exciting life.

Sock looked at the back of Captain Moreira and others as they left, patted Huo Jixing on the shoulder, and walked ahead.

"Let's go back first."

Moreira's reputation and credibility in Bilgewater are good.

Although he is not the most successful captain, he has a dock that he manages.

But he had some connections and could negotiate the best prices at the slaughterhouse.

After the transaction is completed, Moreira will arrange for people to distribute the silver snake coins to other people.

Leaving the slaughterhouse.

Huo Jixing followed Suoke into the ancient stone path in the middle of the cliff.

This stone path seems to be very old, and the hard stone plate is a bit damp.

They followed the stone path deeper and gradually moved away from the noise of the dock and entered a place where ordinary residents lived.

Viewed from the sky, this area looks like a huge maze, full of winding underground rivers and hidden entrances.

The surrounding buildings and houses look similar, as if they were built of the same style and materials.

Without Suoke's leadership, Huo Jixing might have gotten lost.

Suoke led Huo Jixing skillfully through the narrow alleys and winding stone steps.

While walking, Huo Jixing also saw some strong men wearing uniform-like clothes.

"Don't look at them."

Suok spoke in a low voice and chose to take a detour to avoid these strong men.

"They are from the Hook Gang."

From the words spoken by Thok, Huo Jixing understood the status of the Hook Gang in Bilgewater.

Affected by the deposed bandit king Gangplank, the Hook Gang's influence has declined.

But instead of hiding their minions, these guys became even more unbridled.

It is common to see people from the Iron Hook Gang killing hostile people on the street.

As time goes by.

Suoke and Huo Jixing finally stopped in front of a stone house with a relatively clean environment.

It is completely different from the hustle and bustle of the dock, and it seems quiet and peaceful.

When nearby residents saw Suoke coming back, they came up to say hello and congratulate him on his safe return.

Huo Jixing listened to the sound of waves in his ears and looked beyond the stone house to see the undulating waves.

He felt that there was no clear line between the people living in Bilgewater and the sea on which they depended.

Push open the heavy stone door.

Huo Jixing followed Suok into this cozy cabin.

There are simple furniture in the stone house, some tables, chairs and wardrobes, as well as sea animal bones hanging on the walls.

Huo Jixing saw a middle-aged woman busy in the kitchen.

She has wheat-colored skin and long gray hair tied back casually.

Waves of tempting food floated out of the kitchen.

When she heard the door open, the middle-aged woman stopped what she was doing and walked out of the kitchen.

The moment she saw Suoke, a gentle smile appeared on her originally sad face.

"Sock, you're back!"

The middle-aged woman's voice was filled with joy and kindness.

"Mother."

Sock stepped forward and gave the middle-aged woman a hug.

When Aretha saw her child back safely, she couldn't hide the joy in the corners of her eyes.

"Xing, this is my mother."

"This is my slave friend."

Suoke introduced Huo Jixing's identity to his mother. Thinking of Huo Jixing's mystery, he paused and changed his words in time.

Aretha's eyes turned to Huo Jixing, a trace of curiosity and friendliness flashed in her eyes.

"Welcome to our home."

She smiled and stretched out her hand, ready to shake hands with Huo Jixing.

Huo Jixing held Aretha's hand with a smile and said politely: "I'm disturbing you a little."

"It's okay, you and Thok are friends." Aretha replied.

"Sock, you bring your friend to meet your father. I'll go cook first. I'll be ready soon."

"Ok."

Suoke saw his mother return to the kitchen and took Huo Jixing to the back room of the stone house.

The reason why he brought Huo Jixing back was because he believed in his intuition and felt that Huo Jixing would not have any ill intentions towards him.

Huo Jixing and Suoke came to the inner room and smelled a hint of herbs.

Under the dim light, he saw a strong man resting on the bed.

He has short dark green hair similar to Sok, and his face is calm and honest, revealing his tenacity.

"Father."

Suoke hurriedly walked to the bed and said softly.

The strong man raised his head and looked at Suoke who walked in, his eyes shining with relief.

"This is my friend, Star."

"Hello!"

Huo Jixing greeted Suo Ke politely, and you can feel the deep emotions between Suoke and his father.

However, at close range, he noticed something wrong.

The strong man on the bed looked at Huo Jixing, smiled and nodded, his voice slightly weak.

"My name is Fedel, Thok's father."

In the following time, Huo Jixing and Suoke started talking.

He also understood Sok's reason for going to sea.

After my father became seriously ill, the breadwinner of the family collapsed and there was no family income.

However, the cost of medical treatment is being spent like water, making it even more difficult for families who are not already wealthy.

Fortunately, his father had some connections and had a deep friendship with Barnes, so he arranged for him to go to the Hunting Tooth pirate ship.

"The food is ready, you can go out to eat."

Hear the cry of Sok's mother.

Suoke, Huo Jixing and others stopped chatting and prepared to leave the room.

Before leaving, Feder specifically warned Sock and Huo Jixing.

"After you come back, try to go out as little as possible. The ghost of Blood Harbor active at the dock appears again."
