‘What a big giant…’
‘Hey, is that really the legendary deep-sea Titanotilus?’
'have no idea……'
‘Hey! Don’t worry about anything else, the head and momentum look quite similar?’
'Too……'
‘!!’
‘Don’t talk nonsense, how could Ms. Bearded Lady’s messenger be caught so easily? That thing must be a fake!’
‘Well, it makes sense…’
‘What if it is true?’
‘Impossible?’
‘Anyway, it’s quite big and looks all iron. I definitely don’t believe that such things can float up from the deep sea…’
‘I don’t believe it either!’
‘Hmph! Don’t argue about these useless things. Who knows whether that guy is true or not? Anyway, everyone who has seen it is dead. They say it is, then bento it is!’
‘…’
‘Who doesn’t pay the ‘tith tax’ to go out? Captain Jack, what do you think?’
‘This...that...that...I have no plans to go to sea recently. Why would anyone try it first?’
‘Stop quarrel, let’s break up, it’s boring!!’
At the slaughter pier in the deep harbor, early in the morning, the sun had not risen under the sea in the distance, but was only slightly red and shiny. The earth was still gray. When this chaotic and prosperous harbor city had just begun to wake up, a large number of dock butchers, coolies, captains, sailors and other residents who came to see the rare Bilgewater were gathered near the dock.
Of course, they just signaled to watch the fun. After watching, most of them quickly went to their own things...
In Bilgewater, where order is chaotic and there is almost no law, anything is possible.
For those who are struggling to survive or are drunk here, they heard someone capture the legendary nosy and stare at the deep-sea Titanotirus, which does not pay tithing taxes, in addition to being shocked, confused, disbelieving at the beginning, and came to watch it, and found that the big guy standing in the sea water in the slaughter dock port, still motionless, carrying a huge anchor on his shoulder?
Then, after looking at it for a while, most of them felt that that guy seemed to be like that?
Once some things lose the legendary mystery, once the veil of mystery is unveiled, it seems that there is nothing extraordinary... And the Abyss Titan is naturally causing the people who are not concerned about their onlookers to have the illusion that the other party is just "just like this"...
‘…’
‘It’s exactly the same as the legend, I recognize that guy!’
‘Hey! What a coincidence, I recognize it too. Even if I become a dead soul, I will never forget it. That time, I almost died...’
'snort!!'
Unlike those who are watching the fun and skeptical, some captains are shocked and incredible after all, and what remains is endless ecstasy?
Because, since the Abyss Titanotirus was caught by a mysterious man, wouldn’t that mean… the tradition here of Bilgewater, the hated ‘tith tax’ that everyone had to pay when going out to sea, would they no longer need to pay?!
Of course, what exactly did the Bilgewater people watching? The object of attention, the deep-sea Titan, still standing in the deep water of the slaughter dock, did not move at all, and did not go to multiple traffic. They just silently let those people point fingers and the ups and downs of waves wash over its metal shell's chest...
When the estuary of the harbor in the distance and when the sun finally slowly rose on the sea on the horizon, there were not many people who were stranded here except for the busy butchers, ship owners, laborers and slaves.
‘You guys see…’
‘It's motionless, maybe it's just a deceptive steel statue?’
‘Who rows to see it?’
‘…’
‘If you don’t go, don’t go! It must be hollow, and it is probably all of the useless stones and sand inside! Or, it’s watered?!’
‘No matter what it is, let’s go, let’s go back and continue drinking!!’
‘Tsk! It’s boring! It’s gone, it’s all gone!’
This is what most of the ignorant Bilgewater people think after coming here to watch the fun...
After all, the so-called deep-sea Titanotirus, whose lower body soaked in the deep sea water of the port area, looked tall and strong, and had an iron body, was still there, and had no reaction to the fingers and sarcasm of others. It was really hard to believe that it was the legendary terrifying demon who once dominated the deep sea and wrecked countless ships!
perhaps,
Is it really just a captain who is full and has nothing to do, spending a lot of effort to get Bilgewater to fool people?
Although many dock butchers and workers who witnessed the ships entering the port said with their own eyes that they really came in by themselves, it was midnight at that time... So, not many Bilgewater people were willing to believe that the saying of cheating the dead, even if the facts were placed in front of them now?
It was also the other party that came in the middle of the night that added countless malicious speculations to Bilgewater's idle people and villains...
The only thing that made those who didn't want to believe it was probably just a little incredible that someone could have quietly transported such a large piece of iron into the harbor overnight?
...
When the people of Bilgewater partly continued to stay and watch the iron man at the slaughter dock, either began to leave and be busy with their own affairs, or began to talk about it in the streets and alleys, some of the little girl who initiated all of this was bargaining with the butcher boss who was in the largest slaughter workshop at the slaughter dock in that shed, in that shed, she was bargaining with a tangled but helpless butcher boss.
"Hello!"
o(0)o
"You can earn so much processing fee by slaughtering a giant beast, but now I don't want to give you money. So why don't you go and see the big guy standing outside? How much do you want to chop it for me?!"
s(·｀ヘ·;)
The reason why Anne caught the deep-sea titan that dared to attack her ship was actually just a casual matter.
Because, what she actually wanted to catch the most was the so-called "bearded lady"! At the beginning, she really wanted to catch the largest deep-sea god, and the big octopus that she had seen in the world of Azeroth, which looked very similar to the ancient gods like Cthun and Yugesaron!
But who would have thought that last night, the humanoid monster that came to attack her was just a humanoid monster distorted by the power of darkness?
In addition, the guys watching her spoils outside actually had the courage to say that the deep-sea titan she caught was a fake?
So, now Annie is very angry, very angry...
Therefore, in a hurry and unable to hear too many awesome words of amazement and flattery that could satisfy her and feel a little vain, she resolutely came to this workshop, intending to let the boss here let the big bald man unload the huge giant-like sea monster outside, bound by her own power, and break it up and let the stupid Bilgewater people go and see what it is.
“!!”
"Honor, honorable Master Anne, please spare us..."
"Or, we will pay you money now, please get it away quickly... You can offer a price casually, we will definitely do it, really! Please, just act it okay, right?"
The bald butcher of this largest, most complete and most powerful slaughter dock workshop, was begging in a pleading tone, and he was almost crying...
Unlike the other Bilgewater idiots, he was here for food, accommodation, life and work. Last night, he witnessed the huge and terrifying giant dragging the huge sea beast into the port and the huge and terrifying giant following behind. The deep-sea Titan wades by himself and walks in from the deep port pier!
Therefore, he never had any doubts about the authenticity of that huge monster.
only……
The other party was so desperate that he was blocking the pier of his largest slaughter workshop, blocking the waterway, causing him to miss several business today. He was so worried about such a bad thing that he couldn't beat him, and he didn't dare to scold him, so he asked him to ask for advice?!
"Why?"
o('Ѐд')o
"You look down on the giant beast I caught, right? I don't care. Anyway, you must slaughter it for me today and break it into pieces. I see if the people outside dare to say that what I caught was a fake?!"
(vv)
Annie just wanted to tear off the big guy outside to these people in person, and then hang it on the meat ginsengers for sale like other sea beasts!
Anyway, that big guy had been corroded by the power in the deep sea and lost his personal form. The ** under the armor seemed to be no different from the other giant beasts, so he slaughtered it. She had no thoughts in her heart, and she would definitely not mind!
Because that guy asked for it!
Who made it suddenly throw the big and heavy anchor from under the sea, almost smashing her boat, and even wanted to capture her Queen Anne alive and catch her for raw food and swallow it?
Look at it now, does it regret it?
o(^)o Humph!
But regret is useless!
After being completely imprisoned by her magic, it will never run away in its entire life. No matter how much it calls the so-called "bearded lady" and begging the big octopus to help, it will be useless! If the big octopus, like the ancient god, really dares to come, see if Queen Anne will hang the big octopus on the largest minting rack outside the house?
(…)
(Hmm...mm...)
(Tibers seemed to suddenly find some interesting things in this Bilgewater city, but after hesitating and thinking about it, it did not explain it to the careless little master in front of him who was only concerned about his own playfulness.
Because, it is now secretly paying attention to it, that kind of thing seems to be quite fun...
Moreover, it also wants to see when the little master of its house will be discovered without reminding him?)
“…”
"Slaughter, kill him?!!"
The butcher boss in the slaughter workshop trembled his lips. He looked at the big guy outside whom he dared not provoke or approached, and then looked at the terrible little girl mage in front of him who made him even more afraid to offend. For a moment, he was a little reluctant to move forward and retreat. Apart from his rush to jump, there was really no good way.
"Please..."
"Master Anne, the deep-sea Titan is not small, and I dare not hang it on the gallows... Let's just say it now, what do you want?"
After a long time of confusion on his face, the big bald and strong man in the workshop, who was both a butcher and a boss, came to the young girl who squatted on his original seat with some disgust, but refused to sit on the solid wood backrest chair full of greasy and fishy smell, begging.
Everyone knows that in Bilgewater, things are decided by the big fist!
In the eyes of his big bald head, the little girl mage who can even capture the deep sea Titans in front of him is obviously the biggest person with the fist! At least, the opponent's strength is stronger than the boss of the workshop who can only slaughter giant beasts, dares to act rampant in the area of ​​the slaughter dock, and has a little say and power?
so,
Now the other party has the final say in everything, even if the other party uses it to blackmail him, he will admit it!
If it weren't for this, if someone had dared to talk to him like this, he would have been the chance to slash the other person's neck with a knife, and then threw the other person's body into the sea water of the port with red blood all year round to feed the rotten fish. How could he waste so much time with the other person here?
"I don't want to do anything, can't you really help me slaughter it?"
o(vv)o
Annie suddenly felt a little aggrieved. She thought, why would other people's monsters rush to do it, but her turn was going to push and stop it?
Because inside her perception, there was a motionless deep-sea titan called Nothillus standing outside. The other party was actually of the same type as other giant beasts...at most, they looked different, one looked more like a giant, while the other ones were like fish, snakes, or the bearded lady?
But now, these guys who kill and set fire to death can even kill giant beasts that look like "Ms. Bearded Lady". Why don't you dare to cut down the giant monster called Titan?
If they were afraid, then Queen Anne would be sure that the guy outside would definitely have no power to resist! Moreover, not only would he not dare to resist, but he would also honestly climb onto the huge slaughtering rack and hang it on his own?
"Master..."
"We really don't dare... No one in Bilgewater would dare to do that according to your request, so you can spare the younger one..."
"Big big, if you have work to do in the future, you will pay you a portion of the best and most delicious sea fish and giant beast meat?"
The bald butcher who had had a small deal with the other party was really helpless. He suddenly thought of such a thing, and then he flatteredly made such a reasonable suggestion to the indomitable little guy.
“Eh??”
!?('
“…”
(_)Thinking...
"No! It can't be part of it. I want all the best fish! I want all the!!!"
(`)Hehehe...
I found that this big bald man, who was originally annoying, had now learned the evil behavior of bribing others... So, after hesitating for a while, for about two or three seconds, Little Annie had to be forced to accept the other party's suggestion of "no example"!
She, Queen Anne, just couldn't bear to see others looking at her in that pleading tone and gaze. Sure enough, her heart was still too soft, just couldn't bear to see others sadness. There seemed to be no other good way except to be forced to accept it.
Who made her a kind-hearted girl who loves everyone, and is smart, well-behaved and lovely girl... Besides, if the other party bribes herself, she can no longer bribe others, and then the world will be harmonious and stable!
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"All, all?"
Hearing this, the bald man couldn't help but be stunned.
Because he felt that even if he secretly blacked out some of the good meat, the ship owners who could only suffer in silence would definitely not be able to care too much about him. After all, his big bald head owns the largest meat grinding rack and the most-manned slaughter workshop in the Bilgewater slaughter dock!
Moreover, they are the fastest, most efficient and able to maximize profits at the same time! There are also and only they can easily undertake the slaughtering of large and medium-sized sea beasts, so in principle, he is not worried that he would unhappy the ship owners of some of the essence of good meat he had privately kept.
But if all of them are deducted, there is nothing left...
"Okay! This matter is settled!!"
Gripping his teeth, the bald man, who had been thinking repeatedly, finally agreed to the proposal...
Because this matter didn't seem too difficult for him. At most, the share that was originally paid to the gang leader and Planck was deducted. Anyway, last night, before the little girl's ship docked, it was said that the ruler of Bilgewater Port, the pirate king Planck's ship, the Leviathan, had been blown up, and Planck seemed to be dead too?
so……
He naturally won’t have to pay any tribute anymore. If he included the cost he saved, it would be relatively unacceptable to just pay some sea beast meat?
"Ahhh! Then you decided so happily?!"
*(*)*
Although the deep-sea Titan monster outside was not successfully slaughtered in public, Anne, who felt that she had gained more benefits and benefits, quickly forgot all the unpleasant things she had before!
So, after she had agreed, she jumped off the stool and prepared to leave the fishy and smelly house and go outside to have fun.
"Line Wait!"
"Fa, Master Mage... Outside, where is the big guy outside? Are you..."
Since the oral agreement between the two parties has been reached, the big guy who is still blocking his dock channel in the port should always move it away? Otherwise, his slaughtering wharf and workshop would no longer have to continue driving.
"You find a place to stay, and I will let it listen to you for the time being..."
(ψv)
The satisfied little Annie no longer cared about such irrelevant things now, so she took her little bear and jumped out, intending to leave this broken place that made her uncomfortable as soon as possible.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
“!!”
"Then what?!"
Although the problem of blocking the road seems to be solved, we can't let that big guy keep corrupting in his territory, right?
"It's up to you!"
(lllw)
"You can sell it or eat it!"
o((*^^*))o
Anyway, she caught it casually. The guy who was stuck in the water was smelly. Anne didn't like it, and her Tibers didn't like it either, so she just went to deal with it. She didn't have time to care about that kind of irrelevant thing now. She wanted to take the little fishman Fitz around to visit such a city that made her still a little strange.
Because neither she nor the guy who was also caught by herself, they were not the people here in Bilgewater.
“…”
"To whom? How to sell it?!"
He was stunned for a while, although he felt that it was probably just a joke from the little girl, it must be an impossible thing. In the end, he turned his head and asked loudly at the little girl who was walking further and further away as before.
"I don't know! You can do whatever you want..."
Just now, Anne really wanted to cut the other party into pieces, so how could she care about it now? This matter was just like that. The iron giant she caught from the sea, the bald boss liked to sell, and didn't sell it!!
“….”
This, what's the matter?!
Looking at the little girl who had just met twice after leaping around and jumping to the distance, and soon disappeared from the pile of cargo boxes and wooden barrels. The bald boss touched his fat and shiny head. After thinking about it, he finally decided to check the situation in a few days.
“…”
"Titans of the Abyss, Nortirus?"
From the windows of this independent guest room on the third floor of the tavern, which was reinforced by ancient temple ruins and shipboards, in this "sea view room" on the edge of the cliff with a bird's eye view of Bilgewater, Colson, with naked eyes and eyesight of 1.5, he naturally saw the distance, and saw the tall and majestic steel body located in the deep water of the slaughter dock that had been watched by many Bilgewater people before, and saw a huge and magnificent steel body located in the deep water of the slaughter dock!
He Colson had no other thoughts about the horrifying legendary creature that was said to be captured from the deep sea, who was said to be able to move, run, swim, and attack ships!
Compared with the other Bilgewater people who were disagreeing and a little unwilling to believe it too much, Colson did not actually doubt the authenticity of the giant...
Because, Colson felt that what he was seeing now was that in the slaughter dock, the terrifying sea monsters hanging on the slaughter gallows that were larger than the giant cranes on the earth could exist. So, what is strange about the existence of the smaller deep-sea giant?
But, this kind of thing seems to have nothing to do with him, Colson!
"call!!"
"That thing is not true, right? But forget it, I'd better go find someone to inquire, and then think of a way to find that little guy as soon as possible!"
He must find the little guy Anne in this unfamiliar place as soon as possible in this Bilgewater Harbor, otherwise his situation may become worse and worse!!
because,
Just now, he spent a silver sirens to learn about the basic situation in Bilgewater from the maid who wanted to hook up with him, and tentatively asked about the traces of a little girl. Although he did not have any satisfactory gains, he could roughly know the dangers and terrible things in this city.
And, more importantly, he is almost out of money!!
He, Colson himself, did not seem to have the skills to survive here, and the ammunition for several magazines he carried was limited, so if he didn't hurry up and find the little girl who didn't know where he was now, would Colson either be starved to death, be beaten to death by someone else, or died in this harbor city in other ways?
At that time, he will probably be trapped in this ignorant and chaotic place forever, and may never go back to his own world...
Gala~!
Just as I pushed open the wooden door on the third floor, walked out of the corridor and looked towards the lobby below, I saw a group of smelly sailors, captains, robbers, gang members or other messy Bilgewater people drinking and making noise loudly on the rows of thick wooden boards below... The smell of alcohol, sweat, smell, smell of tone, smell of body and other disgusting smells mixed with strong alcohol made Colson frown and almost wanted to retract his single room.
However, he did not choose to do that, because the single room of this tavern is very expensive. If he has not left before the sun rises to the height of the "Butterfight" in Bilgewater, he will have to pay another Golden Siren!
If that were the case, the small money he got from killing people last night out of helplessness would probably be almost overwhelmed today! So, he had to walk towards the hall below, ready to enjoy the sumptuous free meal he had here, and then go out for a walk and think about other ways.
"Mr. Colson!"
"You are finally here? Please come here. I've left you a quick spot, you will definitely like it!"
As Colson had just walked from the rotating wooden staircase to the lobby on the first floor, the tavern maid who had wanted to hook up with him last night ran over with her full chest and led him to a table that was polished and slightly patellated.
"Dignity sir, do you want to drink something?"
After guiding Colson to do it, the maid in the tavern was entertained with diligence again.
After all, she liked the neatly dressed, gentle and clean outsider in front of her! In the eyes of her vicious maid, the other party must be a great nobleman from a country other than Bilgewater!
This was seen from the other party's clean hair, skin, bow tie and fingers, and so on. It was very different from any Bilgewater person, and it was stronger than any smelly captain or gang leader, so this kind of thing would definitely not deceive her.
Although she didn't know why the other party came to the dangerous Bilgewater alone, it did not prevent her from getting close to the other party first, competing for the other party's benefits, and trying to make more money from the other party!
“…”
"No need! Take my breakfast first, I want to calm down first..."
Drinking or something costs money!
So, Colson, who is now short of money, wants nothing but the free breakfast he received for accommodation. He doesn't dare to ask for anything now! And he naturally knows what the overly enthusiastic tavern maid is thinking, but now he has nothing to do with his mind, but he has no interest in having some super friendly things with an alien!
"Okay, please wait?"
After staring at the other party with some resentment, the maid spoke and left quietly.
“…”
"call!!"
Sighing, Colson finally had time to start scanning around and began to silently observe the sailors, crew members, or strange and colorful Bilgewater people in different clothes, similar to those of the medieval era of navigation on Earth.
even,
He actually saw the giant monster with a taurus on a long table in this tavern? At this time, they were eating and drinking in the tavern in a grand manner, discussing something with those humans or their fellow races, and did not attract the attention of many drinkers?!
"Sir, that's the Gladiator of the Bullheads from the magnificent barrier mountains of Noxus. If it's not necessary, please don't mess with them easily?"
At this time, the previous tavern maid brought Colson's breakfast. After putting the plate of breakfast consisting of soup, sea beast meat and pasta on the table, she gently reminded her in her ear, then threw a charming look before twisting her waist and leaving.
“…”
What should I do?
While eating his own food silently, he was alert to the surrounding area that Colson was in a little trouble now...
Because he discovered that now, in this strange, medieval harbor city, he was simply silly! Without the support of a large number of internal staff, field office and intelligence, it would be impossible for him to find an unknown little girl in this chaotic city with at least tens of thousands of people!
But no matter what, since he has come here and since he can no longer go back, then Colson has no better way than calm down and prepare to stay here, protect himself and try his best to find that guy, Little Anne.
"Can I sit here?"
Just as Colson was eating and thinking about it, he suddenly found that a young strange woman with red hair had walked straight to him, and without waiting for her consent, she sat directly opposite her table, holding the glass of ale, and looking at him with a smile.
“??”
"Ms....what is it that you have to do?"
Looking at the red-haired woman in front of her in a white captain's suit and captain's captain's hat, Colson was sure that he would not know the other person himself, and it was definitely the first time he saw it!
So, he didn't understand. The woman put a lot of empty seats around her and refused to sit, but came to her. What are her plans?!
"Oh!"
"Quick Gunner Colson, last night, killed Captain Lao Chuan and his three men. Now the bounty list is worth a hundred Golden Siren, and he squeezed out Jack, the pirate captain who was originally ranked fifth... You said, Mr. Colson, what should I do with you?"
However, after taking off her hat and showing her red hair and delicate face, the red-haired woman ignored the other party's inquiry, but smiled and stared at the other party's eyes with a hint of joking and inexplicable eyes.
Originally, she wanted to take advantage of the fact that she killed Planck and slowly integrate the people of the three major gangs. But she didn't expect that last night, this "Quick Gunner" who came out of nowhere actually killed Captain Lao Chuan and his three core subordinates, and directly broke a big gang?
So, before the stranger who dared to stay in a hotel carelessly was found and killed by Lao Chuan's men, she came here first and wanted to have a good chat with the other party...
“!!”
Quick Gunner? Bounty List? One Hundred Golden Siren?!
"Sorry, ma'am, I don't know what you are saying..."
Colson was shocked and found that the strange woman in front of him had said what he had done last night. He subconsciously retracted his right hand under the table and slowly placed it on his waist.
"how?"
"Hello, do you want to draw a gun at me, too?"
The red-haired woman still looked at Colson with a smile, and at the same time used her bright red lips to signal the other person to look under the table.
“!!”
When Colson aimed under the table in the direction the other party indicated, he only saw that the other party had no idea when he pointed a scary pistol at his own belly. The terrible gun caliber made him know that once the other party fired, he would definitely not be able to survive!
Because he is not wearing any bulletproof vests, nor is he carrying the kind of high-tech equipment that can produce ion shields!!
“…”
"Madam, what do you want?!"
After calming down, Colson finally sighed and put his right hand back on the table.
If he had known that this would be the situation in front of him, he should have brought more security equipment and weapons before he could go to the plane of the Bear Shield Detective branch, otherwise, this would not be the bad situation now.
Chapter completed!
