An Infinite Journey From the Sea of ​​Stones

Piltover's technology is more reflected in their hex technology. They are indeed among the best in the field of machines that replace humans, human body modification and some high-tech weapons.

But when it comes to technology in other fields, it is far inferior.

Take the shipping industry as an example. Although Piltover has the most prosperous golden sea route in the world, their shipbuilding industry is not developing rapidly.

The most advanced shipbuilding industry in the entire Runeterra is actually Noxus.

Yunjuan has personally witnessed the 'powerfulness' of the warships built by the Noxians. Many of their warships, to put it bluntly, are no longer simply running in the sea.

The warships of the Noxians are specially made warships blessed with black magic by the magician legion of the Immortal Fortress. Not only have they already got rid of the traditional wooden structure and replaced them with a full set of enchanted black stone and steel, they even have Gained the ability of 'boating on dry land'.

The great commander Swain's former favorite ship "Leviathan" is such a warship that can be activated by special magic to sail unimpeded on land. The hinterland of Ionia was stolen by a daring pirate.

Of course, that idiot pirate was also hunted down by the Noxus navy, and the Leviathan almost sank in the end, and without the help of the magician accompanying the army, even if it returned to the slaughter dock, the ship could only As a display.

Because of the rapid development of the military industry in Noxus, many fields related to the military industry, including the shipbuilding industry, have also developed by leaps and bounds.

And many of Piltover's nautical industries are simply imported directly from Noxus. After all, the concept of building is worse than buying, and buying is worse than renting is regardless of the world...

But it does not mean that Piltover has completely abandoned the development of the shipbuilding industry. The steam-powered iron ship of the Turtledove is a case of Piltover's self-development.

Of course, there is no way to compare with Noxus warships at all...

As for the steam engine, which may be used as a tool of advanced productivity in other different worlds, in this world with magic and other advanced productivity, it can only be said to be stretched...

Yun Juan sat cross-legged in front of the bow of the Turtledove, overlooking the blue and silent Sea of ​​Conquerors, clasped his hands together, and said nothing.

He is like a stone statue, and also like an eminent monk who is enlightening.

stillness, serenity, peace

On this flight, there was no one who dared to come up to make trouble, no one who came up to quarrel, no one who came to slap his face.

After all, the group of people who were able to escape from Ionia alive have basically seen Ionia's "angry" appearance...

In the land of the first birth, anyone who harbors malicious and plundering thoughts will often have extremely miserable experiences.Death is just the best end.

The moist breath of the sea and the salty sea breeze blow in, and the sun above the head is blurred under the cover of dark clouds. There are no seagulls in this sea, and it seems that there are no fish in sight.

It was as silent as an ocean graveyard.

Yun Juan's gaze looked at the nascent land from the moment the ship set off from Weili, until it completely disappeared beyond the horizon and completely disappeared into the mist.

He has maintained such a posture on the bow for two days and one night, which also made the crew members a little more in awe of this strange 'monk'.

In any case, there is a high probability that abnormal people from Ionia will have some skills.

"Are you very reluctant to part with Ionia?"

Ari's head rested lightly on Yunjuan's shoulder, and the warm breath with the aroma of rose petals blew on his neck. Amidst this ambiguity, Yunjuan replied calmly

"It's a very good land, but leaving there also means that it's time for my practice."

"Hmph, it's time to practice..."

Ahri crossed her arms with her arms across her chest. This red and white uniform showed her majesty with her movements, and it also attracted the stares of the sailors on the deck who knew nothing about it.

But she didn't care about those gazes, or the demon fox regarded everyone on the boat as carrots except Yunjuan.

Ahri, who had stayed in human form in this fleet these days, often encountered suitors, and some of these people even tried to prove their bravery to this beauty by provoking Yunjuan.

This kind of behavior made no progress, no matter how they provoke Yunjuan, they ignored their intentions, and any deviant behavior towards these suitors would be thrown into the sea by them.

She is not a magician, but a vastaya fox who can only use some instinctive magic.This ability is naturally mediocre in Ionia, but in the outside world, it is also a talent that everyone except Demacia will compete for.

"I see that you have broken free from the shackles!"

It's not unfounded for Ahri to say that, after leaving Ionia, Yunjuan 'feed' her again.

From this spirit, Ahri clearly felt Yunjuan's feeling of relief.

He seemed very happy to be out of Ionia.

"Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. Don't be trapped in your heart, don't be confused by emotions."

Yun Juan clasped his hands together and read a few words in a low voice, but then he coughed a few times with a pale face, bloodshot from the corner of his mouth.

"...You really don't want to find a doctor? If you go on like this, you will die sooner or later."

Ari looked at Yunjuan with a complex expression and said softly, logically speaking, it would be extremely happy to be freed from the bondage after the man died, but...

"Life is nothing but a long practice,"

Yunjuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't feel anxious or sad about his injury at all, he just continued to say with a smile that seemed to see through everything.

"It's you, why can't you see through it as soon as possible?"

"What do I see through? I don't absorb human spirits because I want to, that's what I need to survive." Ahri snorted unhappily, and the tail behind her swayed gently

"That's not what I mean. I just think that what you should see through should not be such a low-level problem, but to understand your inner standard. Find out, where is the standard you want to be food?"

"Suck the bad guys and let the good guys go? Will you let me do that?" Ari showed a super fierce expression, baring his teeth and claws, grinning

"After you die, I will go to kill and kill immediately!"

"No...you still don't understand what I mean." Yunjuan shook his head and sighed

"What I mean is, after you figure out the justice you want to follow and work hard for it, I... can also make a ruling and judgment on you."

"......What do you mean?"

Yunjuan didn't speak, just smiled at Ari, but that smile made Ari stunned.She swears that since she met Yunjuan, she has never seen him smile like this...

This kind of smile contained a touch of malice and mockery, but in those eyes that were almost always compassionate, there was a superior indifference.

"After careful calculation, we seem to have sailed near the Blue Flame Islands."

Yunjuan quickly changed the subject, leaving Ari in a daze, looking at the dark clouds at the end of the sea level in the distance, and said softly

"I remember that the Baru people there are not a group of people who are easy to talk to. Of course, they are not the most important thing for this ship..."

Ahri, who was still in a daze, suddenly felt a tremor spreading to the tip of her tail, and she suddenly looked at the dark seabed below.

She felt that a considerable force of spirit was gradually approaching below the ship.

Yunjuan softly played the whaler's song that Ahri couldn't understand, looked at the boats that were riding on the waves and waves, and approached in the dark depths of the sea, sky and earth, and said with a smile

"Here come the pirates of Bilgewater..."

Since the first human made the first sampan and went into the sea, the profession of pirate was born.

In Runeterra, the profession of pirate is often equated with a word - Bilgewater, the city of pirates.

It was a city built on the edge of the Blue Flame Islands far away from the mainland, where countless pirates, sea snake hunters, and bounty hunters gathered.Here, the wealth can be overwhelming or the family can be ruined in a blink of an eye.For those who escaped judgment, debt and persecution, this city can bring them back to life,

But it might just be that you closed your eyes one night, and never had the chance to open them again.

To Mrs. Piltover, Bilgewater was a disgusting and terribly repulsive name.

Yes, how many people who do maritime trade don't hate pirates?Not to mention that Bilgewater is still so close to their golden seaway.

Therefore, when he saw several pirate ships coming from the other side of the sea level, the captain immediately ordered the turrets and weapons to be ready, and then turned the whole ship around and ran away!

These pirate ships are undoubtedly backward wooden sailing ships, but they are surprisingly fast.Because the pirate flag they hang is that person's pirate flag, the crossed scimitar with fire and the skull flag of rum, belonging to the pirate fleet of the current pirate king Planck.

Legend has it that this king of pirates has the blessing of being nostalgic for the sea. When he sails on the sea, he will always be helped by the sea breeze. Their ships will always move forward, and even warships blessed by magic cannot catch up with them.

Of course, nine times out of ten these legends are bard nonsense.

But Plank is indeed a pirate with special abilities, but it is not the sea that is attached to him——

Boom! ! ! !

Several thick and extremely thick tentacles broke through the sea below, entangled the Turtledove just about to turn around and leave. The terrifying tentacles covered with sharp teeth and mouthparts were so terrifying. The sailors all screamed and avoided!

"Damn it, counterattack! Speed ​​counterattack!!!"

The frightened but angry captain screamed and ordered everyone to bombard the sea monster. Under the attack of the shells and bullets, the thick-skinned monster spattered black blood like ink. Ahri wanted to attack, but But Yunjuan stopped him.

"If you really show your ability, no one will survive the next moment on this ship."

Yunjuanfeng said calmly, his eyes fixed on the center of the pirate ship that was coming from a distance, and at the prow of the larger one of the three pirate ships stood a man in a dark green national costume with tattoos on his body. Baru people with quirky patterns.

"That's the snake caller. He called this sea monster. If you smash the tentacles of this sea monster, he will order the sea monster to pull the ship into the next moment if he guesses that there is a magician on this ship. nautical mile."

Ari bit his lip slightly, put away the burning fox fire in his hand, and asked anxiously

"What are you going to do?"

"Wait for them to get closer." Yun Juan clasped his hands together and said slowly with that friendly smile

"There is no reason in this world that cannot be explained clearly."

"I think there is a high probability that there is no possibility of communication between you two." Ari complained

The three pirate ships surrounded the Turtledove in front and back, and iron cables were thrown from the three pirate ships to tie the Turtledove tightly, and at the same time pulled into the distance between each other.

Soon, pirates wearing turbans, machetes and flintlock guns in their hands, and with unhealthy red faces eroded by the sea wind stepped onto the deck, looking at the trembling crew members with grinning grin.

resist?None, all sailors dropped their weapons as the pirates approached.

They are not very brave people, otherwise they would not be sailors.Moreover, useless courage is nothing but suicide.

"How lucky to be able to meet a Picheng guy's boat before returning to the voyage?"

A tall and burly pirate leader, wearing a black pirate hat, blind in one eye and wearing a blindfold, jumped onto the boat and laughed heartily.

"Hand over all your things, this is the sea snake tax you have owed Planck for many years!"

All the pirates immediately let out a burst of laughter. This was a joke that only Planck pirates could understand.

As a lawless city, Bilgewater has no tax of course, but as the king of pirates, Planck does not perform his duties as a government, but he will levy a 'sea snake tax' with everyone

Those who are not strong will usually be launched into the sea by Planck with his daughter of death. As a pirate, he can demand taxes from the entire sea of ​​conquerors. This is also Planck and his pirate brothers. A kind of pride.

"Yo, there's such a pretty vastaya chick here!"

The pirate leader's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward with a smile, wanting to make a move on Ari.

Ari's eyes turned cold, and he was about to smash him into scum with magic, but Yunjuan took a step forward and blocked the pirate leader

"Sir, I advise you to stop in time."

Yunjuan sighed and said softly

12. The duality of gods and demons

"What, is this your woman, boy?"

The pirate leader sneered and looked at this pale young man who looked like he was about to die at any time. He looked like an Ionian, and he should be a noble boy.

"Looking at how immodest you are, you might as well give me your woman! You can't satisfy this chick just by looking at you like this."

"Predating others is not a good habit worth advocating, especially if you wantonly take other people's lives like this."

Yunjuan clasped his hands together and said softly

"Leave now, it's for your own good too."

"Did you hear that? This little boy who is dying is actually talking such nonsense!"

The pirate leader pointed at Yunjuan and laughed to the pirates behind him, watching him mockingly

"Are you an Ionian, right? Only an idiot in Ionia would say such a stupid thing! Yes, how merciful, is it merciful to watch your whole family being insulted by Noxus?"

He casually stretched out his hand to push, and Yunjuan's weak body was immediately pushed aside like a piece of paper, and was pushed back and forth, insulted, and beaten by those pirates in a playful way.

He was pushed onto the deck, and just as he was about to stand up, he was stepped on by a foot, and countless gazes and insults were cast on him.

Yun Juan trembled slightly, which was a sign of cowardice in the eyes of others, so these pirates became even more arrogant.

"Don't worry, I will keep you alive after I play with my brothers..."

The pirate leader Ying stepped forward with a smile, but Yun Juan stood in front of him again with a lingering ghost

"Stop it, it's for your own good." Yun Juan clasped his hands together, his face full of compassion

"It's so annoying, let me die!!!"

The impatient pirate leader drew out his scimitar to chop off Yunjuan's head with a bang, but the moment the blade approached Yunjuan's neck——

Yun Juan's eye scarf fell off at some point, and his exposed right eye was filled with endless indifference and coldness.

"I said it was for your own good."
