The fifth day after the Poseidon Festival.

It finally started raining again in Bilgewater.

When the first drop of rain fell from the sky, the first alliance meeting between Blue Flame Island and Ionia also kicked off.

It was still that eerie conference room that looked dusty even if there was light.

Today's weather makes it look even more gloomy and depressing.

Totally inappropriate to talk about anything.

But the two parties representing Blue Flame Island and Ionia were already sitting on both sides of the huge black rock wooden discussion table.

The host Blue Flame Island side is sitting on the left. There are fifteen people in total, gathering the highest-level personnel of the entire Bilgewater Self-Government Council. Among them, Plank, Father Ferguson, and Miss Fortune are in the middle. Chen Senran looks like

Standing behind Planck like a shadow.

This time, no one tried to grab the two main seats at the front and end.[

The Ionian side is on the right, and there is only one person at the table, the female warrior from Ionia, Irelia, who did not bring a follower.

"Welcome, envoy of Ionia, respected Blade Will, Miss Irelia." The opening remarks were made by Father Ferguson. He was in the center, representing the authority of the entire Blue Flame Island. He smiled.

It's very official and decent, "I can still hear about your reputation even though we are tens of thousands of miles away at sea."

The rain outside began to get heavier, hitting the door with crackling sounds, making the entire somewhat silent conference room even more depressing and inexplicable.

"You're honored, dear Mr. Ferguson. Your caravan is famous throughout the entire sea, and the goods you sell are almost all over Ionia." Irelia responded to Ferguson with a calm face.

This sounds like a compliment.

But Planck still laughed loudly.

Sure enough, even if such a person is praised by others, he can only use weak words. For Blue Flame Island, this is really a great irony.

Bilgewater was supposed to be...a world of pirates.

"How have you been in Bilgewater recently? Dear Miss Irelia, my subordinates didn't neglect you, did they?" Gangplank thought about this and did not restrain the smile on his face at all, and took over the topic.

.

"Not at all. Mr. Jack's hospitality is very attentive. I am very grateful for his hospitality. Blue Flame Island is a good place." Irelia continued to argue with Plank without any impatience. She finally turned to Plank.

Chen Senran, who was behind Ke, nodded.

Chen Senran seemed to sense it and responded.

He was a little surprised that Irelia, a girl who seemed a little green in front of him, was answering questions fluently at this moment.

In fact, although Irelia is innocent and kind-hearted in nature, she can often show extraordinary decision-making and ability when facing enemies, whether on the battlefield or at the negotiation table.

"Should I say that the weather is nice today, should we go out to bask in the sun?" Miss Fortune said impatiently.

The rain outside became even heavier. The pounding made her upset.[

There is no time to negotiate on a rainy day like this.

Are you still going to keep chatting here until tomorrow?

Miss Fortune is actually not suitable for politics in nature. She still yearns for romance and the sea.

In other words, women should actually stay away from politics.

"Of course not, I think it's time for us to get down to business." Father Ferguson took up the topic, put on his reading glasses, and said with a smile, "Miss Irelia?"

"Yes, I think so. The alliance was proposed by us. It is really me who should speak first." Irelia nodded without showing any signs of stage fright. Her face was calm. It was obvious that she

Really well prepared, "First of all, I need to confirm your determination to form an alliance."

"Determination? What do you mean?" It was Gangplank's turn to speak again. He looked at the exquisite female warrior opposite him casually.

Compared to Irelia, Gangplank is much older. He has lived in hell since he was a child, so he always has the aura of the devil flowing around him.

The devil is always associated with politics.

"You must also know the current situation in Ionia. Noxus is struggling to death. They have launched an attack that is several times more violent than before. Their soldiers and war machines are being continuously transported towards Ionia.

We need the ocean." Irelia paused and then said, "We need a war without worries."

"So...well, I have to admit that your speech was great." Planck took over the topic again, and once again he left blank, "But..."

"I need your maritime power. Although we in Ionia also have a fleet that we are proud of, those were the glory of the empire era decades ago. Now..." Irelia began to feel a little uneasy.

Angry, "I must admit that your maritime power is the strongest in the entire sea, and it can definitely sweep anyone away. Moreover, I heard that you recently captured a new dragon shark?"

"Well..." Plank spoke for the third time, and Ferguson looked like he was not in a hurry and let Plank speak first, but his brows frowned slightly.

"Miss Irelia, you should know something, right? Everything has its price."

After saying this, Planck closed his mouth again.

Irelia began to frown, as if she was thinking about something, "This..."

Don't talk.

Chen Senran frowned.

Although Irelia was calm and confident on the spot, perhaps it was because she had always been used to fighting on the battlefield, and her negotiation style was also straightforward. Talking to Chen Senran might not be a big deal, and Chen Senran himself did not seek much.

But now...

It was too passive and was completely led by Planck.

Little girl, you are so young.

"As long as..." The female warrior was about to say something, but she suddenly stopped as if she remembered something, "No, Mr. Plank, the procedure shouldn't be like this. First, you have to tell me if you are willing.

Then I must review your Sea Emperor Trident Fleet first, I must ensure that it is strong, and finally, we will talk about the price." She said a paragraph in one breath as if she was endorsing it.

Someone obviously taught her this.

That Lord Apocalypse?

"Besides, I don't think you have many reasons to reject me. After all, Bilgewater is also now..." Irelia seemed to have suddenly enlightened, and she also followed Gangplank's example of leaving blank space.

Regarding the current situation of Bilgewater, Chen Senran revealed it to her.

And Bilgewater really has no choice now.

This matter was decided last time.

This time, Planck actually just wanted to maximize profits, and...

Plank looked at Ferguson's profile and smiled meaningfully.

The conference room suddenly fell silent again, and once again there was only the patter of rain outside.

The crackling rain is like the crackling hearts of everyone here.

"Okay." Ferguson finally got the right to speak. He had a sullen face and could not tell whether he was happy or angry. "I agree to review the Poseidon Trident first. What about everyone?"

"Reconsideration."

"Reconsideration."

"Reconsideration."

"Reconsideration." Planck smiled more playfully.

The first alliance meeting ended with the review of the fleet being finalized.

The review is scheduled for three days later.

I don't know if it will rain that day.

Irelia quickly left the conference room after the meeting, and other people from Bilgewater also began to leave one after another.

And when Chen Senran followed Plank and passed Miss Fortune, she suddenly whispered: "I agreed to what happened last time."

What happened last time, dinner with Planck?

Gangplank pretended not to hear anything and laughed loudly.

And in the conference room.

There are still two people left.

Father Ferguson and his henchman, an old guy with the same white beard.

"This damn Planck, he really doesn't take me seriously anymore." Father Ferguson seemed to be saying to himself or to his confidant.

"Yes, I forced you to sit in that position last time, and this time I openly robbed you of your right to speak." The old man's confidant responded angrily, "This damn guy, does he really think he is Vincent? He is Vincent.

Te didn't dare to treat us like this back then. It's really unreasonable. I think we should teach him a lesson."

"...Blue Flame Island should not be the Blue Flame Island of pirates." Ferguson suddenly said this after being silent for a while.

"You mean..." The confidant's whole body was shaken, and he subconsciously looked around, wanting to say something but not daring to say it.

"Vincent has been dead for many years. It's time for us to get back what belongs to us." Ferguson took off his reading glasses on his nose bridge and tapped the table. "Lately, bad luck has been very close to him.

?”

"That's not true. They have basically no communication. But Planck's third mate seems to have a good relationship with Doom." After thinking for a while, a confidant said, "However, the relationship between the third mate and Planck seems to be very subtle. Planck's third mate seems to have a good relationship with Doom."
