LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 164 Bilgewater

"Miss, why do I suddenly feel that this is your conspiracy?"

Wearing a simple robe, Riven tied her hair into a small bun, sat at the desk, smacked her lips, and looked at Fiona who was standing straight and elegant in front of her with one hand, and couldn't help but speak.

"Why do you think so?" Fiona, who was reading a book, asked without turning her head when she heard the voice.

Riven looked at the documents on the table, then looked at the other documents waiting for her to process, and revealed a bitter expression, "This must be your conspiracy."

"Hey, Miss, actually you just don't want to be the dean yourself and don't want to deal with these troublesome matters, so you handed them over to me, right?"

"That's ridiculous. You agreed to become the dean. I didn't force you." Fiona closed the book, put it back on the bookshelf, and walked in front of Riven.

She and Riven are really two extremes in their personal behavior.

How would Fiona describe Riven?
Well, he probably doesn't know how to stand or sit, and at first glance he looks like a gangster or a gang leader.

This is how Riven is in Fiona's mind.

Just like now, Riven was sitting in the dean's seat, with her hands on her face, her back hunched, her butt sticking out, and a lazy look, which was exactly what Fiona could not accept the most.

But because Rowan also had this situation, Fiona slowly changed. Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to help but talk about Riven's behavior at this moment.

"How about I return the dean to you? I think being a mentor would be great."

Riven couldn't help but say, "I like this place very much. The students are not much older than me, but they respect me very much. They are also very energetic and will speak out when they are unhappy. This is what I like most."

"So now, I am very unhappy, young lady. I am very unhappy. Do you understand?"

"Why do you mind my business if you're unhappy?" Fiona looked at Riven with disdain, raised her legs slightly, and placed her buttocks on the table. Fiona leaned forward slightly, looking down at Riven who was looking up at her, and said word by word: "If I want this position, I will take it back myself, and I don't need your charity."

"But I now doubt that you don't want this position." Riven blinked and said seriously.

Fiona paused, then silently turned her eyes away.

"Look, I was right!"

"You are so damned, Miss. You didn't want to be the dean and handle the affairs of the academy, so you gave this responsibility to me. Hey, did you really use all your strength in the duel a few days ago?"

"Let's not talk about this, Dean. Now we should talk about who to send to Bilgewater." Fiona picked up a piece of paper on the table and moved her perky buttocks off the table. She looked at Riven and continued, "Hex Academy, Magic Academy, Knight Academy, we and the Magic Academy have been invited to send students to protect the students of Hex Academy to go to Bilgewater for experiments."

"This is the first time since the start of the school year that students have gone on a mission to an unfamiliar city-state."

"So, Dean, please put aside those useless thoughts and concentrate on thinking about how to do this matter first."

Fiona said in a deep voice.

Riven put the pen on her lips, pouted, sighed and said, "Let me see."

"Vice President Bobby is the leader of this team, right?"

"Correct."

"Where's Rowan?" Riven's orange eyes turned cross-eyed as she looked at the pen on her lips.

Fiona said somewhat unhappily: "Please call him the principal."

"He's not even as old as me!"

"But he beat you with just one finger."

"Okay, okay, I'll call him the principal. Just call him the principal, okay?" Riven picked up the pen, sat back, looked at Fiona and said, "You're a fan of Rowan."

"So Miss, what about Principal Rowan? Isn't he going?"

"He has to look after the academy, and he seems to be in seclusion recently."

"Retreat?"

"It means to cultivate."

"Okay, then, we will select the best students from the Knight Academy, and have Vice Principal Bobby lead the team. Then the Magic Academy will send assistants and some students to accompany the students from the Hex Academy to Bilgewater. Is that okay?"

"No problem, you're the dean."

"hehe."

Riven rolled her eyes.

You'd better really treat me as the dean, Miss!

Why do I always feel like I'm your tool, okay?
Riven thought angrily.

Time passed, and in mid-July, the Hextech Flying Gate of the War College was activated. The Hextech College selected twenty students, and together with five students from the Knight College, two assistants and three students from the Magic College, and the vice-president of the college, they went to Bilgewater.

This was the first time that the students of the War College went out on a mission, and this matter made the students a little uneasy.

I originally thought that I would have to wait until I was about to graduate before I could go out on a mission, but now I see that I can apply for it on my own!

As long as they apply to the student union president Orianna, and then President Orianna will give the documents to the deans, and after the deans of the three colleges agree, students can go out to perform tasks.

This trip to Bilgewater was initiated by the Exoskeleton Club at Hextech Institute.

They studied Hextech and Zaun's alchemical technology, and then prepared to create new inventions that could enhance human power.

And they had already made a simple sketch, and after Rowan looked at it, he decisively chose to let them out.

What the hell is this?!
This is an external device!

If these things are really developed, then every human being equipped with them can instantly become an extraordinary being!
This also made Rowan determine one thing - that is, Piltover and Zaun are indeed very weak city-states, and the only demigod Janna is completely incomparable to other places in the world.

Even a place like Bilgewater, which is chaotic, poor and dark, has many legends.

However, the upper limits of the two cities are unmatched by any other country in Runeterra.

When technology and magic are combined, it is just as the people of Piltover always say - the future belongs to Piltover.

And now, the future belongs to the War College.

Therefore, Rowan is looking forward to what these guys will achieve in Bilgewater.

As for whether there will be trouble
Now, the War College really doesn't mind trouble.

As long as the fight isn't between demigods, Rowan can handle it.

Having touched the rule-level realm, he has become a god-like being in the eyes of mortals.

"Freshly-cooked giant tetra meat, as well as scales and organs, for sale at a low price!"

"Are there any sea hunters who want to go out to sea with us? Our ship is short of a few sailors, and we will split the prey we catch equally. We are a team of veteran sea hunters, and we will definitely be fair and just!"

"Fuck, who the hell let you set up a stall here? This is my fucking territory!" "Fuck, these bastards from the Sting Gang, let's fight them!"

On the dock of Bilgewater, blood fell into the sea from the cracks in the wooden planks, but was pushed back by the rising tide, leaving dark marks. The stench made outsiders nauseous, and the occasional cat-sized rats on people's feet were even more terrifying, with maggots crawling and dirt all over the ground.

This is daily life in Bilgewater.

At this moment, Zeli was wearing a clean robe, with a band-aid on her nose, breathing in the air of Bilgewater, and then she sighed: "It's like returning home."

"Hey, I like this place."

"Are you crazy?" A student from the Knight Academy couldn't help but look at Zeli and said.

Wearing exquisite armor and holding a long sword, Karona frowned and hated this environment!

She is not a noble, and has never claimed to be a noble person, but is this kind of environment really a place for people to live?

The sea monster's organs were placed everywhere, and the unwanted bits and pieces were thrown on the ground, left to be eaten by flies and rats. Wherever you stepped, you would step on maggots and human feces. This place was disgusting!

"This is what Bilgewater is like, Corona," said a student from the Knight Academy.

He is not from Demacia, but he also joined the Knights' College of the War Institute. Before coming to Demacia, he was in Shurima. Due to poverty, he wandered to many places. The children of Shurima often come into contact with the people of Bilgewater, so he knows Bilgewater.

"Stop talking about this, let's find a place to live first."

"By the way, Moss, the minerals you want to study come from the seabed and the surrounding islands, right?"

"Well, this kind of stone is only found in Bilgewater. I've studied it and heard that it comes from the Blue Flame Islands." Pushing his glasses, Moss, the initiator of this team and the president of the Exoskeleton Device Research Society, spoke.

"Principal Bobby, what do you say?" Moss lowered his head and looked at a short girl in front of him.

She is really, really short, like a dwarf, but the interesting thing is that her body shape does not seem to be deformed. Her too short stature does not make her look strange. On the contrary, her overly big head and cute facial features make her look very cute.

Carrying a hammer, wearing chain mail and gloves, with her ponytails twitching, she whispered, "I'll listen to you. I don't know much about Hextech, science, or Bilgewater."

"Then, let's find a place to stay first." Marla, the instructor from the Magic Academy who was accompanying us on this trip, said.

Originally, the people accompanying this trip were Mu Lang and another mentor. Because Mu Lang had a steady personality, but his magic was not suitable for combat, Mara, who had a bad temper and was easily impulsive but had abilities very suitable for combat, was finally replaced as the accompanying mentor.

As the group walked along Bilgewater's main road, the Demacians couldn't help but make noises.

"This place really looks like Zaun. It has the same bottom-up architectural style, and it's full of canyons, ravines, and the sea."

"If you just look at the appearance, they are very similar, but they are completely different, okay?" Zeli, who is from Zaun, couldn't help but say.

She crossed her arms and hummed as she continued, "Zuan is much more orderly than here. Although Zaun was also very chaotic in the past, compared to here, ours is a civilized city."

"Can this be compared?" Several Piltover students from Hextech Academy whispered.

"Of course we have to compare. Zaun is dirty and messy, not because we want it to be dirty and messy, but because of you. And Bilgewater is dirty and messy because they don't like cleanliness." Zeli said seriously.

They certainly attracted a lot of attention.

But looking at the several fully armed students from the Knight Academy in the team, the locals of Bilgewater resisted the urge to come up and cause trouble.

Because these guys look really hard to mess with.

Of course it won't be easy to mess with.

Everyone who can join the academy has been reviewed, especially the combat department branch, which is full of talents.

The first-year students of the Knight Academy are sent to the Demacia army. They can go to the battlefield after only two months of training!
Therefore, although he encountered a lot of cold stares along the way, no one dared to come up and cause trouble.

This also made Zeli a little disappointed, as she was planning to release her magic for others to see!
After training in the War Academy for several months and being taught by Lux, Zeli has been able to perform her magic perfectly. Although she still has a flaw, which is insufficient magic power, and it is easy for her body to run out of power, her magic can already cause large-scale thunderstorms.

For example, in Bilgewater, if Zelie wanted to, she could instantly create a lightning column as thick as a bucket.

Wow, that kind of thing is exciting just to think about!
Soon, everyone went up all the way and, led by Yamu, a student of the Knight Academy who was familiar with Bilgewater, arrived at the top of Bilgewater.

"There is a saying on Bi Island, the higher you climb, the less likely you are to drown. Just like what you have just seen, people at the bottom of society can only live down there, next to the sea. On Bi Island, being at the forefront of the sea is not only a description of their business adventures, but also their daily lives."

Yamu led the way and soon arrived at a tavern.

Drunken men were surrounding them.

"These guys must have run out of money and were thrown out by the people inside," said Yamu.

"In Bilgewater, money is everything. As long as you have money, there is no way the people of Bilgewater will not have what you want."

"It's much better up there than down there."

"Can we have a drink later? There should be enough funds, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey, Demacia's gold coins can't be used here. If we want to exchange them, President Orianna approved a few gems for us, but that's to be used to hire people from Bi Island to help find materials. We're not here to enjoy ourselves."

The students walked into the pub, chatting with each other.

This tavern can be used for accommodation as well as drinking and entertainment. After entering, the air was filled with smoke, the smell of sweat, cigarettes, and fishy smells, all mixed together, making Zeli pinch her nose.

The same thing happened to Bobby. She covered her mouth and nose with her hands, but her big purple eyes were shining as she looked into the house.

This is her first time leaving Demacia!

So many people coming in at once naturally attracted the attention of the person in charge of the tavern.

A red-haired woman wearing a corset sat on a chair, holding the wine glass in one hand, shaking the red wine in it, and squinting at the person who came in from the second floor.

"who are they?"

"I don't know. Ten minutes later they suddenly got off the ship and came to Bilgewater." A man beside her said.

"There are outsiders, and a large group of them." The woman laughed, and her laugh was very unrestrained.

She raised her hand to gather her hair and said with a smile, "Spread the word and tell those guys that these fat sheep are mine."

"Yes." A bell jingled and the man looked up. The sound was the sound of the ornaments on his ears colliding.

With his upper body naked, dense snake tattoos all over his body, a hunting knife and a pistol on his waist, he left the woman.

After the man left, the woman sitting at the seat first picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in it in one gulp, wiped the corner of her lips with the back of her hand heroically, and then she stood up and went downstairs in her short-heeled boots.

This is Bilgewater.

And now, half of this island belongs to her.

The other half will soon be hers.

Therefore,
This is her territory.
