Seeing that Sarah appeared outside the temple so early in the morning, and directly expressed her willingness to continue to cooperate with the Naga Kapoulos sect, except for Illaoi, who had a natural look on her face, the other priests were more or less a little confused.

Accident.

If I read it right... Yasuo seemed to be faster than Illaoi in taking down the undead last night, right?

You must know that working with the Snake Mother is not free - not only is it not free, Illaoi does not accept the illusory promise of "official support" and only accepts real money.

In other words, if you want to spend the Night of Souls under the protection of Naga Kapoulos, the price is not cheap - after all, faith is never cheap.

However, now that Sarah has clearly established a relationship with Yasuo, she has turned around and approached Illaoi to discuss cooperation!

"A wise choice." Amidst the astonishment of the other priests, Illaoi reached out and took Sarah's amulet. "It seems that you will be a good ruler."

"This has nothing to do with being a good ruler." Sarah followed Illaoi into the temple. "To be honest, I just chose a cheaper one."

The word "cheap" was obviously a bit offensive to Illaoi. The Sea Beast Priest stopped in his tracks, a pair of snake eyes full of warning.

"Watch your words, little misfortune." Illaoi thought twice, and her words became less polite, "There is often a thin line between arrogance and blasphemy!"

"This is not arrogance." Sarah, who had entered the negotiation state, was not moved at all. "I was just stating the facts - I really can't afford Yasuo's price."

……………………

On this point, Sarah didn't lie.

In fact, before coming to Illaoi, Sarah did consider whether to reject the help from Naga Kapoulos in the subsequent Night of Souls, and instead use Yasuo to eliminate the undead - Yasuo could easily sweep away the undead before.

Judging from the situation of the undead, if Yasuo is willing to help, Soul Eating Night will not be a problem.

But...if you choose this way, what is the cost?

From Yasuo's personal point of view, he actually doesn't mind going to Bilgewater every year to have fun - but don't forget, in theory, Yasuo is still the leader of Ionia!

To hire the leader of a country, Sarah must show enough sincerity, and this sincerity itself has nothing to do with Yasuo's personal will - the situation is the same whether he is in the arena or the temple.

of.

Yasuo's help this time seems to be free, but on the one hand, it is a return of favor, and on the other hand, it also means that Sarah and Bilgewater will have to bear the pain when it comes to the transportation of Ionia's specialties.

This is an exchange of interests based on the tacit understanding between Yasuo and Sarah - because the identities of the two people are relatively special, and they each represent a force, so even if they trust each other, this exchange must be based on the principle of fairness.

In other words, even if Yasuo is willing to help for free, Sarah must pay accordingly.

Considering Yasuo's status, Sarah thought she couldn't afford the price.

After witnessing the chaotic dance of demons in the soul-eating night and the night march of hundreds of ghosts, Sarah also clearly realized that it was difficult to fight against the undead by herself alone, so as soon as the sky lightened up, she directly found Illaoi

.

The deal between the Pirate King and the Snake Mother Priest will continue.

Illaoi had guessed this and was not in a hurry from beginning to end - and besides being sure that Sarah needed his help, Illaoi also kept an eye on Yasuo.

Yasuo's previous heroic performance has attracted Illaoi's attention. She now fully understands the oracle of Naga Kapoulos. Such a guy who takes care of the undead without mercy and is familiar with the road must become the Snake Mother.

believer!

When Yasuo led several teams to chase the North, Sarah and Illaoi had a heated debate at the temple of Naga Kaporos. The two sides were at odds with each other, but the core content of the discussion was only one -

What kind of reward will Illaoi get for protecting Bilgewater during the Night of Souls?

From the beginning, according to the wishes of the Sea Beast Priest, both sides should follow the plan of Gangplank and Illaoi - the snake mother collects tithes, accepts the offerings on time, and on the night of Soul Erosion

It's time to protect Bilgewater from being overwhelmed by the black mist.

But Sarah obviously had different ideas of her own.

Although the agreement reached by Gangplank and Illaoi was not too harsh, Sarah preferred to abolish the tithe and replace it with "a fixed percentage of Bilgewater's taxes given to the Temple of the Serpent Mother."

As for what the ratio is... Sarah thinks it can be maintained at the level of the previous tithe.

Although it seems that the income has not decreased, Illaoi obviously does not agree with this idea - you know, the tithe is collected directly from the sailors of Bilgewater by the Naga Kabolos sect, and no tithes are paid for any sea voyages.

Tithe guys will suffer all kinds of bad luck.

But now, once the tithe changes from a direct tax of the denomination to an allocation from Sarah, the nature of both parties has completely changed.

Collecting tithes directly means that Naga Kabolos' faith continues to expand in Bilgewater, and he can directly interfere with the secular world.

But if you go by what Sarah said, then the sect will be inferior to the Lord of Bilgewater!

Illaoi will never accept this under any circumstances!

Negotiations between the two sides have reached a stalemate.

At the same time, Yasuo on the other side felt very tired.

……………………

"[Act 1: Tide of Fire] Completed."

"Task evaluation: a, reward obtained: underwater breathing."

"Breathing underwater: You will never drown. Going into the water is like coming home."

After finally completing the mission and seeing the rewards of the mission, Yasuo was so hung up that he couldn't breathe.

Breathing underwater...is this serious?

Yasuo doesn't like swimming, nor does he like the sea. For him, the only place for underwater breathing is the basin where he washes his face in the morning!

There’s a hammer to use!

However, just as Yasuo was complaining crazily, the next task finally made him narrow his eyes slightly.

"The main mission [Act 2·Dark Deal] is activated."

"[Act 2·Dark Deal]: From Lucian's mouth, you learned that Thresh seems to be targeting Ionia. Considering that Thresh's energy is highly consistent with that of the Pale Lady, both parties are likely to have different

Ability."

"Mission goal: Find out Thresh's conspiracy."

Seeing this brief mission goal, Yasuo took a breath silently.

"I knew it - it wasn't that simple!"
