All Heavens: Start with Monster Hunter

Chapter 143 Pier
Li Qing is now more curious about Marin's identity.

However, according to Li Qing's experience, being able to open a tavern in this ghost place, and seemingly having no customers, probably means that the business is not making money by running the tavern.

As for Marlene's identity, considering what Sarah just said about her connection with Noxus, Li Qing is probably just some kind of intelligence station or spy.

Of course, it is not ruled out that she is a Noxian noble or something like that. After all, it is very common for people of this status to like to go out and explore Noxus.

But there is no point in worrying about her identity now, because the problem now is how to get the transport ship full of oily fish at the port.

"There are at least 40 to 50 people on that ship, and there are two escort ships beside it. Although they are not very large ships, they are fully equipped with artillery and firearms. With an armed force of nearly 200 people, it is a bit difficult to control these three ships without making any noise."

Raymond touched his head. Although he knew from the beginning that this goal might be difficult, after careful consideration, he found that the degree of difficulty was even greater than he had expected.

"The most important thing is that although not everyone has seen us, there is no guarantee that someone will recognize us."

"This ship can basically be considered as Gangplank's property. If we are exposed, Gangplank will definitely hunt us down when we return."

After a pause, Raymond continued, "So my idea is that we can't attack by force. It's best to find a way to get on the ship first, and then start to kill the people on the ship."

Sarah listened to Raymond's words, nodded, and turned to look at Li Qing without making a decision:

"Dear Boss, do you have any ideas?"

Li Qing just smiled and shook his head: "Raymond's idea is good, I support it."

"But if you want to get the ship out of the port, I don't think it's necessary to go through so much trouble."

"Oh? What do you think?"

Sarah raised her eyebrows and asked provocatively.

"Just wait for the wind to come." Li Qing just smiled and replied with a few words.

"Wait for the wind? Wait for what wind?" Sarah thought Li Qing had some unique method, but ended up waiting for this mysterious word.

What she hates most are these guys who like to be mysterious.

However, after asking several times, Li Qing did not answer, but only said that she would know after dark. Sarah lost her patience to continue asking.

He rolled his eyes at Li Qing and started drinking with a little anger.

They said we had to wait until dark, but in fact we didn't wait too long.

The island of Bilgewater is located in the temperate zone in the world's geographical environment and is on the sea, so there are often rain clouds composed of water vapor floating in the sky.

This also results in Bilgewater being frequently cloudy.

There is also much more rain.

This naturally leads to a situation where it gets dark earlier.

After working in the Blue Flame Tavern for nearly three hours, it was already completely dark outside.

Sarah and Li Qing were the only ones left at the bar. Raymond had already left and was exchanging information with a subordinate who was outside inquiring about the situation, making sure that there would be no accidents in this operation.

At this moment, the bar was already filled with wine glasses.

Sarah still couldn't stand Li Qing's pretentious look, so after being bored for a while, she decisively launched a drinking challenge.

Then I truly understood what it meant to drink alcohol like drinking water.

Several barrels of wine were poured into his stomach, but Li Qing still acted as if nothing had happened, and was even too lazy to go to the toilet.

It was finally dark. Sarah saw that she couldn't drink as much as Li Qing. Even if she drank any more, she would fall to the ground. She quickly stood up and said, "It's time. Let's stop here for today. Business is more important!"

Li Qing looked at the woman speechlessly: "You can't drink anymore, don't make excuses."

Sarah has been with Li Qing for a while now, although it has only been a few hours and most of the time they were drinking, but the drinking process is also a kind of observation. It can be seen that Li Qing's personality and emotions are very stable.

He is one of the few normal people in Bilgewater.

This kind of thing is very rare, so even though he is still a little unhappy with Li Qing, this unhappiness has disappeared a little.

"Who said I can't drink?" Sarah had already stood up and straightened her clothes. "It's just that the time is up and I'm afraid that if I drink any more, it will delay my work."

"Raymond, are we all ready?"

Raymond, who was sitting with a group of people in the distance, made an OK gesture.

Sarah turned her head to look at Li Qing and tilted her head to indicate that she was right.

"Alas~~ It turns out that the more beautiful a woman is, the more unreasonable she is."

Li Qing sighed and stood up, a smile on his face again: "But it's almost time, let's finish the work quickly."

"To be honest, even though I am considered an experienced person, this seems to be my first time going out to sea on a boat."

"what?"

Sarah was stunned, a little bit unbelievable: "Then how did you come to Bilgewater?"

"wrong!"

"You said you've never been out to sea, so you don't get seasick, do you?"

Li Qing ignored her and followed Raymond and others who had already left the tavern and came to the street outside.

"Tsk, I'm afraid you're really seasick." Seeing Li Qing ignoring her, Sarah curled her lips in disdain and followed him out.

When I got outside, it was almost dark.

But for the people of Bilgewater, the night life has just begun.

Whether it is a pub, a restaurant, or some place for entertainment, most of them are packed.

The workers and sailors who work hard at the docks and on the sea every day basically live one day at a time and spend all the money they earn the next day.

They have no idea of ​​accumulating wealth.

Raymond and others have put on hats and other things to hide their faces.

There are many shameful things in Bilgewater, but walking down the street dressed like this, they actually don't look very noticeable.

On the contrary, Li Qing, who seemed out of place in this city, stood out among the crowd.

Even in the dark, it attracted a lot of attention.

And most of them were from ladies. After all, even Sarah had never seen someone as handsome as Lee Sin, let alone these girls who were born and raised in Bilgewater, who had never seen such a handsome guy.

“It’s really popular~~”

Sarah was right next to Li Qing, and she was very aware of how eye-catching Li Qing was. She put her head close to Li Qing with a slightly sarcastic look.

"It's a pity there's no one as pretty as you."

Li Qing really didn't care. Facing the gaze coming towards him, he immediately looked over and responded with a sunny smile.

I just wonder how many girls will never forget his appearance in their hearts after today.

Sarah gritted her teeth and wanted to make a few more sarcastic remarks, but Raymond and the others in front of her had already stopped and were looking not far ahead.

There were many ships docked at the pier. Even at night, there were still many workers working for a little extra money. Sarah's Call Girl was docked here.

But their target this time was not this port, but rather an exclusive dock belonging to those chambers of commerce.

"You guys, go get our ship out of the port first and wait for us outside."

"Follow us and we'll act together later."

Raymond gave orders to his men in front, and soon those people were divided into two groups. One group left for the dock to prepare to board the ship, and the other group was ready to act together with Li Qing and others.

"I don't think it's necessary to go through so much trouble."

Li Qing sighed helplessly and asked Raymond:
"Just tell me where the target is and what it looks like. There's no need to be so nervous."

"Um, let me take you there."

Raymond was stunned, and glanced at Sarah, only to find that Sarah was standing there with her arms crossed and watching coldly. It seemed that she had no opinion, so he could only say:
"Then let's go over there now."

"But if we were all strangers, those thugs might not let us in."

"Just leave it to me."

Li Qing waved his hand indifferently.

Seeing that Li Qing said this and Sarah did not stop him, Raymond did not hesitate and turned around to signal the group of brothers to follow him, and then led everyone to walk to the other side.

As a port city, Bilgewater's port area is naturally large enough.

The group's walking speed was not slow, but it still took them nearly a quarter of an hour to reach the so-called caravan-only dock.

Compared with the dock just now, this place is obviously much cleaner.

There wasn't much of the signature blood stain on the ground.

But the way inside was blocked by thick walls and closed doors.

Although a small door was open, there were two strong men leaning against the door, smoking boredly and guarding it.

"Boss, what to do next is up to you."

Raymond stopped again and turned around to ask Li Qing.

Li Qing didn't even stop. He waved at Raymond indifferently and walked to the two gatekeepers under the gaze of everyone.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The two sturdy men naturally noticed Li Qing's arrival. Just as they opened their mouths to ask, they saw Li Qing stretch out his hand and make a strange gesture.

In an instant, all the words I was about to say were swallowed back into my stomach.

"Please move aside, we are going in."

Li Qing saw that the seal he used was successful, smiled and spoke.

"Uh..." Two sturdy men stood on both sides in a daze and stretched out their hands: "Everyone, please come in."

"Thank you." Li Qing smiled and nodded, then turned around and waved to the stunned crowd behind him: "Okay, let's go in."

"How did he do this?" Raymond touched the back of his head, a little puzzled: "Is he the young master of a big family? Otherwise, how could he get in so easily?"

"Are you trying to trick us?"

Raymond shifted his gaze to Sarah, waiting for her decision.

Sarah also frowned, but she glanced at Li Qing who was waiting for them at the door and gritted her teeth secretly: "It shouldn't be him, otherwise I would have heard of him a long time ago."

After saying that, he walked towards Li Qing without hesitation.

Raymond let out a breath, said nothing more, waved to the crew members behind him, and followed them.

It was not until he walked through the gate, headed towards the dock, and was about to reach the berth of the Walter family's merchant ships that he felt slightly relieved.

Li Qing ignored the people behind him and looked at the transport ship full of so-called oily fish.

As a transport ship, the ship is naturally not small in size. Although the cargo on it is covered up and the specific contents cannot be seen clearly, the strange oil level that can be smelled as soon as they get close shows that they have not chosen the wrong target.

Although it is a transport ship, it is also capable of counterattacks.

The gun muzzles can also be seen, and there are several guns at the stern.

However, the main defensive force still depends on the escort ships parked on both sides of the transport ship.

As an armed ship, apart from the supplies necessary for navigation, the remaining space is naturally filled with weapons and ammunition carried.

At first glance, there were only cannon muzzles.

Even at night, the deck was still very busy, and it seemed that they were waiting for the order to set sail.

He probably had no idea that in the Upper City, the Walter family had already begun to be liquidated by Planck.

“It’s not easy.”

Seeing that these ships were still on high alert at this moment, Raymond touched his head in annoyance.

"You said you had a way, now it's time for you to show your ability."

Sarah was not in a hurry and looked at Li Qing and said.

She has figured it out now.

If Li Qing really has the ability to help her overthrow Gangplank and take revenge, then she will not suffer any loss even if she sells him to Li Qing.

Anyway, the other person is good-looking enough, so it’s not certain who will sleep with whom.

But if Li Qing doesn't have that ability, she will turn around and leave with her men immediately, and treat this trip as a waste.

Li Qing also more or less felt the conflict in the girl's heart.

But after all, this is a very difficult thing for Sarah and the others, but it is a very simple thing for Li Qing.

Under everyone's gaze, Li Qing stretched out a hand.

A cool breeze suddenly blew from behind everyone.

Sarah turned around and looked behind her with a little confusion.

"Hmm? Why is the wind blowing?"

No one answered her because the wind suddenly became stronger.

It was so big that even they who were on land now felt unsteady on their feet for a moment and were nearly blown to the ground.

Sarah almost fell down because she didn't stand firmly, so she could only reach out and support Li Qing instinctively.

Then he felt Li Qing standing there steadily, seemingly unaffected.

I was startled and looked at the restless sea. An unbelievable thought rose from the bottom of my heart:
"Could it be..."
