Chapter 380: The Hospitality of the Freljord
The boat was moving very...
It was very unsuccessful.
Because Li Ke didn't come here on his own ship, but took a flight between Ionia and Freljord.
This was a pretty bad experience. Li Ke encountered the Freljord man who collected tolls no less than twenty times along the way.
Sometimes the captain gives it, sometimes he doesn’t.
At this point, the passenger experience is very bad.
Basically, they are either running for their lives or on their way to escape. And what's interesting is that sometimes two groups of Freljord raiding ships collecting protection fees will meet each other, and at this time, they will duel among themselves first.
As for the passenger ships?
The passenger ship dared not run away.
“There’s nothing we can do about it.”
The captain drank rum, sighed helplessly, looked at the pirates who were cracking melon seeds beside him while watching the two ships leaning against each other and using wooden boards to form a fighting arena, and continued to explain.
"If we run now, then the two ships will not compete, but will directly catch up with us and kill us all, and then decide who will take the spoils based on the remaining forces of both sides."
"That is to say, if you don't run away, you just have to pay a portion of the protection fee. If you run away, you will all die, and you won't get anything."
Li Ke looked at the other person's eager face and gave some of his melon seeds to the captain, but the captain just took his hand out of the glove for two seconds and then returned the melon seeds to Li Ke.
There is no reason.
Cold hands.
"Yes, so I won't run away. By the way, I can also watch them fight to the death. It can be considered as a way to vent my anger. After all, who cares about robbing?"
The captain sighed and showed the attitude of a veteran, and Li Ke pondered for a while and asked a question.
"What if the losing party comes back to rob later?"
The old captain looked at Li Ke in astonishment, not knowing where this genius came from, but he still answered Li Ke.
"Impossible. Even if it's robbery, there are still rules. Each tribe has its own base. There won't be..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Ke stuffed a handful of melon seeds into his hand and pointed to the sea in the distance.
"But look, is there still such a thing as territory now?"
The old captain was choked up for a moment, because in the direction Li Ke pointed, several looting ships appeared, and they seemed to be heading towards them.
"Are these bastards crazy?"
This is against the rules!
This sentence appeared in his mind for the first time, but he reacted immediately.
A war is about to break out between Demacia and Noxus. The prices of everything are rising. Food and supplies are constantly being gathered at the battlefields of both sides. There is no profit in looting in Freljord, and most of the civilians have been rounded up.
Besides, the harvest and weather in Freljord are not good this year...
"Damn it! Raise the sail quickly! Run! Run!"
If it were usual, he would just accept the money charged by these people. After all, the money he earned from driving passengers was enough to pay for protection.
But it’s different now. Although he can provide five or six looting ships if he is determined, the problem is that these looters don’t know about it!
They don’t know if they can still get the money if they rob later!
So they will definitely strike first!
"Run!! Everyone, prepare for battle! Passengers, gentlemen and ladies! Take out your weapons too! Otherwise we will all be fed to the sea worms!"
He stuffed the melon seeds into his mouth in one breath, kept shouting, and took out the two axes wrapped and yelled at the equally panicked sailors.
Li Ke didn't react much. Although he was in a bad condition and his energy was insufficient, he didn't even need to use his energy to deal with some mortals. He only needed simple swordsmanship to kill all of them.
And at worst...
The power of the frost in this damn cold place is actually three times stronger!
Looking at the two ships that were originally planning to duel to decide the ownership of the spoils quickly unloading the planks and the Freljord people shouting at the ship, Li Ke couldn't help but shake his head.
These are totally Vikings, the whole race looks like pirates.
Li Ke looked at the sawdust and grease on the pirates' axes and knew that the reason these people used axes as weapons was not because axes were really easy to use, but because axes could be both weapons and daily necessities.
Cutting meat, chopping trees, killing people, the axe can do it all, so there is no need to waste metal on other things.
Apparently, iron is a very rare commodity here.
But here's the funny thing. According to Piltover's survey, Freljord accounts for 85% of the world's mineral reserves based on the number of minerals surveyed so far.
This is why their people are unable to conduct large-scale mineral exploration in the Freljord - or they have explored but cannot bring back any data.
However, the lack of is really hilarious.
Just as he was sighing, the captain of the ship suddenly rushed over and yelled at him.
"What are you still standing here for? Go get your shield! It's behind the door to your room!"
"Huh? That'll actually work?!"
Li Ke was surprised. There was indeed a shield behind the door of his room, but he thought it was a decoration!
"Of course! That's the real thing!"
"So those two swords can be used too?!"
"Nonsense! Why do you think first-class tickets are so expensive? If you can't fight, then hide! I will get you out alive!"
After the captain finished speaking, he led his men towards the cannons, ready to bombard these Freljord barbarians.
"You really are a genius."
Li Ke looked at the noisy captain speechlessly, but immediately he saw cracks on the cannon operated by the other party.
Obviously, the low temperature in the Freljord has caused problems with the cannon, however, the big guy has already stuffed the gunpowder into it and lit the fuse.
"Because you and I had a nice chat."
Li Ke placed his hand on the frost-free air behind him.
Just as the flames produced by the explosion of gunpowder were hitting the crack and were about to cause the cannon to explode, a large piece of ice suddenly wrapped around the cannon that was about to explode, causing the captain to freeze in place, looking in horror at the shattered cannon that had been wrapped in ice.
"Forget it, let's just solve these as well."
Now that you have made a move, then make it to the end.
Looking at the ships rushing towards him, Li Ke waved the Sky Frost Air fiercely.
