[0151] The Eve of Soul Eating
By the next morning, when the sun rose again and Bilgewater turned from silence to noise again, Sarah had completed the statistics.
After running around all night, all the named leaders of the Hook Gang were killed one by one - some of them died in the hands of Sarah's subordinates, while others were targeted by bounty hunters, with only their heads remaining.
Although the members of the Iron Hook Gang are still there, and Gangplank's subordinates were not dead in the past, but in the current situation, those miscellaneous fish can no longer make any waves.
The order in Bilgewater has changed!
At this moment, the only thing that worries Sarah is Yasuo.
Yasuo didn't come to find him - and the owner of the tavern downstairs in Yasuo's stronghold didn't see Yasuo coming back (in fact, Yasuo entered the house through the window, not the main door).
In this case, Sarah had to worry about what would happen to him on Illaoi's side.
A fight started?
Or are you stuck?
Sarah, who had not closed her eyes for a day and a night, hesitated for a moment, put away the battle report, took her first mate Raven and the most elite men, and arrived outside the temple of the Snake Mother.
If Yasuo was really left here, Sarah felt...she had to at least rescue him!
Although the Serpent Mother's belief has a great influence in Bilgewater, in the final analysis, this is not the Blue Flame Islands, but a secular pirate capital!
However, when Sarah and her men set up their formation and found the Serpent Mother Temple with eyes as red as her own hair, and when Illaoi received the news and walked out of the door, the sea beast priest was gnawing on a mango in a daze.
"Yasuo?" After listening to Sarah's description, Illaoi spat out a clean mango core, "Who is that? Hmm - why does this name sound so weird?"
Yasuo didn't come yesterday?
Or does she not know Yasuo?
Helpless, Sarah could only briefly describe Yasuo's appearance - "He's just a broomstick guy with a long sword. He's pretty handsome, but he's just a fool."
And then Illaoi knew that the name of the venerable yesterday was Yasuo...
Yes, Yasuo worked hard for so long yesterday, but he never even reported his name from beginning to end. In the end, Illaoi didn't even know who he was!
"He." After figuring out Yasuo's identity, Illaoi sighed helplessly, "He left long ago - he passed the trial of the Snake Mother, but refused the Lord's gift. After that
He just left."
"In other words, he wasn't here last night?" Sarah was stunned when she heard Illaoi's description, "He left a long time ago?"
"Of course." Illaoi put Shenxi on his shoulders, and then took out a mango from his pocket, "He is a great guy, and he has been recognized by Naga Kapoulos——
Unfortunately, he has not gone far enough on the road to true knowledge."
Sarah had no intention of listening to the serpent mother's teachings at this time. She symbolically left a silver snake coin as a tithe, then turned around and planned to leave with her men - Sarah probably understood, Yasuo
He had left long ago, but the tavern owner was just watching downstairs and did not go upstairs to see, so there was a slight misunderstanding.
Since it's a misunderstanding, and Yasuo doesn't seem to have any conflict with Illaoi, let's get out of here quickly and let everyone disperse where they are.
Then, just as she was gathering her team, Illaoi stopped her.
"Miss Fortune - right?" Illaoi peeled the mango while carefully looking at the woman in front of her. "To be honest, you are very lucky. If there is no Venerable, I'm afraid that damn Gangplank won't be there either."
He will become a real dead ghost...you should understand what I mean."
"My luck has always been very good." Sarah didn't quite understand what Illaoi was trying to do, but she still remained polite, "Misfortunes and other things have always belonged to my enemies."
"But the matter is not over yet." Illaoi peeled off the entire peel of the mango in his hand, then stuffed the pulp and core into his mouth, and said vaguely, "You will also need to undergo trials.
——Although the time has not yet come, you must at least be prepared."
With the vague words and unclear tone, Sarah had no idea what the priest in front of her was going to say - but the belief of the Snake Mother had a great influence on Bilgewater. In this case, Sarah
La could only nod mechanically, silently waiting for Illaoi to finish her useless chatter.
As if sensing Sarah's impatience, Illaoi finally spat out the smooth mango core, then took out a pendant from his pocket and stuffed it into Sarah's hands without any explanation.
This is a piece of pink coral with many lines radiating out around the center. When you hold it in your hand, it looks like an unblinking eye.
"Take it." Illaoi finally spoke concisely this time, "Put it on."
"This..." Sarah, who got the pendant, was confused, "What is it?"
"The talisman of Nagakapoulos." Illaoi turned around and walked towards the temple. "When you are lost, it will guide your path."
"What I'm asking is-" Sarah looked at Illaoi's back and frowned, "What is this."
Unfortunately, Illaoi didn't seem to want to explain anymore. She stepped into the temple, and then the temple door closed without any wind.
"If I say it, I have no other meaning."
Sarah was hesitant, but it was obviously not appropriate to refuse a gift from a snake priestess in front of so many people - and from the performance, Illaoi seemed to have some subtle kindness.
So, after thinking for a moment, Sarah took off her three-cornered hat and hung the leather cord around her neck.
In the envious eyes of the sailors, the coral hangings were submerged in the snow-white ravine.
"Close the team!" After finishing all this, Sarah waved her hand, "Look for your captain and get the silver snake coins - it's time to be happy!"
"Roar--"
The sailors shouted excitedly, then ran to collect their rewards, and then dispersed in a rush.
Sarah, who was finally relieved, yawned and came to the tavern where Yasuo lived.
The sun was shining brightly, and Yasuo was sleeping soundly in bed—yesterday, the soul trial left him a little exhausted, and he still hasn't recovered yet.
And Sara, who was full of excitement just now, thinking about saving Yasuo even if she broke up with the Snake Priestess, now looked at Yasuo sleeping on the bed like a dead pig, she was really angry and funny, seeing that he was still...
Turning over and chirping, Sarah couldn't hold it back and directly opened the curtains.
Under the direct sunlight, Yasuo quickly woke up - he opened his eyes in a daze, then slowly stretched his body and muttered unconsciously.
Chapter completed!
