Bilgewater.
Walking on this intricately complex harbor city, her graceful body covered by a heavy cloak, LeBlanc's pair of enchanting eyes gazed towards the surroundings. Although she hadn't been here for long, her long life experience had allowed LeBlanc to discover a storm surging in the shadows from the clues in this city.
Walking on the streets of Bilgewater, although clearly dressed strangely, LeBlanc walking in the middle of the road didn't encounter any obstacles. Or rather, almost everyone subconsciously ignored LeBlanc's existence. Even those drunken pirates would unconsciously bypass a one-meter radius around LeBlanc. And in this process, LeBlanc was also examining this 'young' city-state.
Regarding Bilgewater, to be honest, LeBlanc looked down on it a bit. Because Bilgewater's historical heritage was really too poor—although the Twin Cities were also new forces, they had a good location, being the trade hub of the entire Runeterra. In the ancient Shurima period, when it was still called Oramark, it was the starting and ending point of maritime trade.
Thinking this, LeBlanc also strengthened the link with the spirit realm by activating the Joy Mark on her lower abdomen. Before long, LeBlanc heard some panting sounds.
Calculating the time, now was indeed the time when Master worked hard cultivating~ Thinking this, LeBlanc didn't care much. Because after realizing everything about herself was false and illusory, and all goals, concepts, and obsessions were artificially endowed by the main body, LeBlanc had already given up the so-called bottom line. Including actively performing those quite hardcore services. Besides Faen's life essence being able to stabilize her current existence and strengthen her life in the spirit realm, in LeBlanc's view, this behavior itself was also a counterattack against the main body.
Although this counterattack had a bit of Ah Q spirit component—after all, the current main body couldn't feel what LeBlanc was doing now at all. But it didn't matter; LeBlanc would silently wait for an opportunity to stuff all these feelings and memories into the main body's soul.
Thinking this, LeBlanc couldn't help smiling. Under the wide cloak, her slender ten fingers landed on her small belly. LeBlanc said to Faen on the other side of the spirit realm without disguising the charm in her words: "Master, I have arrived in Bilgewater... what should I do next?"
Hearing the message from LeBlanc on the other side, Faen nodded, but his movements didn't pause at all, just saying calmly: "Find Sarah, then notify me."
Hearing this, LeBlanc nodded. Then casting her gaze at the tavern not far away, illusion magic power emerged on her body. Accompanied by her entire temperament changing constantly, soon the feeling she gave changed from an incompatible outsider whom no one could observe into a native Bilgewater person.
That night, located in a secret base in Bilgewater, Sarah stabbed a knife into the table in front of her angrily.
"Damn it, damn it... this beast actually really died like this?! Impossible, absolutely impossible! I must kill him with my own hands! He definitely isn't dead yet! He just hid, just like before! Because I must kill him!! Only me!!"
Looking at Sarah full of anger, the yordle female gunner Lheana on the side also scratched her head, then said with a face full of helplessness: "Uh... Sarah, I know you are very angry and anxious now, but you saw it, that guy Gangplank's vault has been looted clean. If this is also part of Gangplank's fake death plan, the loss is too big."
Hearing Lheana's words, a look of pain appeared on Sarah's face.
As a person fighting with her brain, Sarah's own combat power wasn't as strong as in the game—or rather, like the vast majority of characters in League of Legends, although in the game Sarah could deal explosive damage by opening her ultimate Ah Hahaha if scanned well, skills in the game could still be interrupted and avoided, such as Yasuo's Wind Wall, Braum's shield, etc. While in the real world... simply put, Sarah almost died young due to small problems like jamming during reloading or damp gunpowder.
Like now, when the last struggle in her heart was exposed by Lheana, Sarah also gritted her teeth and said: "But he can't die... that beast can't just die like this! Dying like this is too cheap for him! He ruined countless people's lives, he killed my parents... I must take revenge! I must make him lose all achievements and reputation before welcoming a death with nothing! A miserable death!!"
"So how can this guy die right now?!"
"The dead cannot come back to life, Sarah~" Looking at Sarah full of anger and despair, Lheana on the side also sighed.
As Sarah's earliest partner, Lheana knew very well to what extent Sarah's hatred for Gangplank had reached deep into her bones. Now Gangplank died suddenly; for Sarah, it was like the goal of life suddenly disappeared. Accompanied by anger and unwillingness, actually Sarah might also be hiding her confusion about the future?
Of course, even if this confusion existed, there must be more anger and unwillingness.
Thinking this, Lheana comforted: "Actually let's think on the bright side? For many ordinary people, Gangplank dying earlier might be a truly good thing? After all, with this guy dead, many people don't have to suffer misfortune caused by this robber anymore."
"Of course I know this guy dying is a good thing, a huge good thing. But I am unwilling, I am just unwilling!"
Hearing Lheana's comfort, more or less guessing Lheana's thoughts, Sarah lowered her head after gritting her teeth and said: "How can I accept this result so easily... For revenge, I prepared so much, I have waited so long, my mom and dad..."
Looking at the sad and despairing Sarah, a look of regret appeared on Lheana's face. And just as Lheana was thinking about how to comfort this good friend of hers, suddenly, a knock came from the side.
This sound aroused Sarah and Lheana's vigilance almost immediately.
Raising her head, casting her gaze at Lheana, after nodding tacitly, the unwillingness on Sarah's face turned into calmness. Not rushing to deal with the eye makeup washed away by tears, she pulled out the twin pistols at her waist immediately, carefully opening the safety.
"Who is it?"
"A guest~" LeBlanc's voice came from outside the door.
