Chapter 195 Still want to get it for free?

The slaughterhouse, the execution ground.
"You you you you——" The fat catfish made Lina tremble with anger:
She really stopped hiding and escaping, and completely indulged her desires.
She wants power, wants to be a hero, desires fame, wealth and material enjoyment.
This sounds very inconsistent with the ethical standards of a leader.
But...what if the fame, fortune, and material enjoyment that she desires are all reasonable rewards obtained through the proper means of seeking benefits for the masses and contributing to the organization?
Isn’t this really noble?
"Damn it, you lied to me!" Tam was furious.
"How did I lie to you?" This time it was Lina's turn to mock him: "You give me strength, and I'll let you eat my hair. This is what we agreed on beforehand."
"Besides, I didn't know I would taste so bad."
This is where the problem lies.
Lina never thought that Tam wouldn't be able to eat her.
She was ready to sacrifice.
Although she indulged in her desires, she made a deal with the devil in order to satisfy her desire to be a hero and pursue fame and fortune.
To put it bluntly, she has fallen.
But if we only look at the actions and not the heart, it is clear that Lina bravely sacrificed her ego for the greater good of saving the people of Port Belo Horizonte, risking being devoured by the devil.
Not only did she not fall, but she was sublimated.
That's why she "smells good but tastes bad", making Tam feel hungry when she smells it and nauseous when she tastes it.
"I didn't stop you from eating it, you just don't like it."
As she spoke, Lina grabbed her thick braided hair that was longer than her hips and handed it to the fat catfish's mouth as if she was teasing a dog:
"Well, it's already yours."
"Eat?"
Tam was angry, but...
It smells really good.
A pure soul, unbridled desires, persistence in ideals, thirst for fame, these conflicting spices of food habits intertwined and collided in her body, almost pickling this girl into the most delicious food in the world.
"How about another taste?"
The fat catfish couldn't help but stick out his tongue and gently licked Lina's hair.
Then: "Ugh—"
This time, Tam lay directly beside the execution platform, used the nail board as a brush, and rubbed his tongue vigorously.
"Disgusting, so disgusting!"
How in the world is there food that smells like chocolate but tastes like shit!
Tam turned around angrily and stared viciously at the girl who made him eat shit twice.
"What do you want to do?" Lina frowned, "We agreed on a fair trade, you don't want to go back on your word, do you?"
“……” Tam thought about it with frustration.
Fair trade is an old rule that he, as a gourmet among demons, has adhered to for nearly ten thousand years.
He never gets tired of eating because of this rule. If the rule is broken, it will be meaningless.
Just like a single-player gamer who plays a console game, the more he plays, the more boring it becomes. Moreover, he may have to continue playing for countless tens of thousands of years.
Tam replied unhappily: " Forget it, I'll give you this power!"
"Thank you!" Lina even patted his head gratefully, as if he was a friend.
Tam took two steps away in annoyance.
"Lina!" Jinx shouted from above: "Enemy reinforcements have arrived! Shall we run?"
"Let's not run away. Let's fight off this wave of enemies first." Lina answered firmly.
While they were talking, the pirates arrived.
The entire Bilgewater is a big den of thieves. The large and small gangs and pirate groups living in it are almost all subordinates and vassals of Gangplank directly or indirectly.
So, after hearing that someone dared to rob the execution ground at the slaughter dock, the pirates' reinforcements quickly arrived.
There were more than a hundred people in this first wave alone.
"That woman is there! Shoot!"
Because they had heard before coming that the enemy was a mage who was very strong in close combat, the pirates did not rush forward foolishly.
When they saw Lina still standing on the high execution platform, they stopped hundreds of meters away and raised all kinds of muskets, cannons, rocket launchers, and power harpoons at her.
As pirates who frequently clash with Piltover merchant ships and hunters who hunt sea monsters all year round, their long-range firepower should never be underestimated.
Facing these hundreds of elite pirates, if it were a few minutes ago, even if Lina herself was not injured, she would have to watch the prisoners around her being blown into pieces by the overwhelming and intensive firepower.
But now, everything is different.
Tam gave her stronger power and awakened new magic:
"Abyss Diving!"
The pirates were still raising their guns and setting up their cannons in the distance when a puddle of water suddenly appeared under Lina's feet.
She fell into the puddle, and then, the next second...
Hundreds of meters away, a puddle suddenly appeared in the center of the musket position that the pirates had just formed.
Lina jumped out of the puddle, she crossed hundreds of meters of space and suddenly rushed to the enemy.
"W-what?" The pirates were caught off guard.
They had never thought that Lina knew space magic and could teleport from a distance. They had just thought of suppressing her with long-range firepower, and now they didn't even have close combat weapons in their hands.
Lina suddenly appeared in the center of their formation, like a tiger among a flock of sheep.
then……
"Giant Tongue Lash!"
A terrifying giant tongue that was thicker and longer than before, several meters wide and nearly a hundred meters long, "grew" out of the puddle under Lina's feet.
The huge tongue swept across like a sickle cutting through wheat.
A single sweep knocked them down. Those that didn’t fall down were like mosquitoes that were hit by a fly swatter, and flew away without a trace.
But with just one encounter and a few sweeps, these hundreds of pirates were completely wiped out.
"Wow!" Jinx's eyes lit up: "Lina, you are so awesome now!"
The prisoners who were originally terrified and desperate now looked at her with joy, admiration and hope.
“…” Lina subconsciously wanted to be modest.
Just like before, be a leader who is not interested in fame or fortune.
But she thought about it carefully, and finally stood up high with honor, enjoying the admiring gazes of everyone.
"Thank you, Tam. You made me face my inner self."
"From now on, I will no longer live in such an awkward way."
Lina still said this to the devil gratefully in her heart.
"You... Humph!" Tam snorted reluctantly, "Your current strength is just the tip of my iceberg."
"Don't get too carried away. I advise you to run away quickly."
"For you, that move just now was very powerful and consumed a lot of energy, wasn't it?"
The devil did not lie.
Lina's current combat capability is far from being able to directly defeat Gangplank and the entire Big Port that he controls.
There are so many pirates that they can kill her with just the human wave tactics.
So her best option was to run away.
As for the families of the prisoners...
"I have taught you 'Abyssal Voyage'."
“Although you can’t use the true power of this move, but if you are only in this small Bilgewater, you can still go wherever you want.”
The families of those prisoners can be rescued using "Abyss Voyage".
With this ultra-long-distance space teleportation, Lina can save both the prisoners and their families.
This is already a best of both worlds option.
but……
"I want more," Lena said seriously.
"What?" Tam couldn't believe it.
"I said, I want more power!" Lina shouted, "I don't want to run away. I don't want to return Beacon to Gangplank and let the people of Beacon continue to be tortured by this tyrant."
"I want to defeat Gangplank right now and become the hero of the Wind Leader!"
"This..." The greedy demon was shocked by the burning desire in her eyes.
However, he reacted quickly and asked disdainfully: "Are you kidding?"
"You're so stinky that you can't be eaten. How could I possibly be fooled by you again?"
After getting something for free twice, he still wants to get it for free again.
Do you think he is a fool?
But Lina said: "No, I just smell bad now."
"But have you ever thought that after I have such a powerful force, I might actually fall in the future?"
"Anyway, I've already sold myself to you. Whenever you come to eat me, I won't refuse."
She also wanted to trade with Tam, but not on a cash-on-delivery basis.
It’s a gamble:
"Tamm——"
"I'm betting my soul on you. I'm betting that I won't go bad and become your favorite food. I won't ever."
"Would you like to bet ?"
