Don't mess with the yordle

Chapter 120 The Devil’s Trace (Please subscribe~)

Fitz's arrival caused some riots in Bilgewater, but since there was no substantial damage, the city soon returned to its former "calm".

Reed returned to the city of Bilgewater. He left the port dock area and set foot on the Butcher's Bridge. This is a bridge across the main port area. It is an ancient stone road embedded between the cliffs on both sides, connecting Busy docks and slums.

Bandle City's scouting base in Bilgewater is not in the bustling dock area, but in the notorious slums, where people are mixed and disorderly, which is perfect for outsiders to hide and not easily discovered.

Reed made many twists and turns, and after dealing with several pickpockets who dared to attack him, he finally arrived at a cliff hut located below the slum, almost close to the sea.

The reason why we chose this place is, firstly, because few people visit this kind of place, secondly, it is convenient for Fizz to come here by water, and thirdly, many of the scouts stationed in Bilgewater are aquatic, and they also feel that it is safer to live here. Comfortable.

"Beep beep."

Reed knocked on the door of the hut, and an aquatic yordle opened the door in surprise and walked out. Obviously, he did not expect Reed to come. Reed came quite suddenly and did not notify them in advance. Everyone in the stronghold was outside.

"Captain! Why are you here?"

Captain is the unified name for Reed among the scouts. It seems more affectionate. Although only the most elite people truly belong to Reed directly, this does not prevent everyone from calling him this.

"Come and deal with that liar's matter. Show me all the information you have, all the relevant files."

Reed walked into the hut, and the scent of fish soup spread into his nostrils. The Yodle scout left behind was cooking fish soup, and the smell was not bad.

"Captain, it's all here."

The left-behind scout is called Wilo, and he also looks like a standard aquatic Yodle. His skin is smooth and fuzzless, his eyes are big, like the eyes of a fish, and he has a tentacle on his forehead that looks like a lantern fish.

"Okay, you can eat first, I can just take a look at it myself."

Reed nodded and took over a few pages of files that Wilo brought. The number was relatively small, which showed that the work of the scouts was indeed very difficult.

"That. Captain, have you eaten? Do you want to join us?"

Wille seemed a little restrained. He was one of the younger yordles, and his knowledge of Reed's glorious deeds was limited to the oral traditions of the older generation.

As for the legend, it is natural that the more it spreads, the more outrageous it is. Especially after adding the idol filter, it is naturally even more outrageous. In the concept of the younger generation of young yordles, Reed has almost been "deified" ”, “Sainthood”, some of Reed himself felt ashamed after hearing this.

"What kind of soup is this?"

Reed glanced at the pot of stew. Although the taste was very fragrant, the appearance was really unflattering.

"Octopus stewed with seaweed, sea urchin, razor fish, and um~ there seems to be some meat from sea animals. Some of them I can't name, but the meat is all plump and very delicious!"

When it comes to eating, Wilo's restraints lighten a bit. It's obvious that this guy is a foodie. He probably spends a lot of his time studying eating in his spare time from work.

"Forehead"

Reed pondered for a while, and finally rejected Wilo's kindness. Although he also ate a lot of fresh things, he was not happy with this pot of random stew.And isn't the razorfish a common carnivorous fish in Bilgewater?Is this thing really edible?
Fish off the coast of Bilgewater, such as razorfish, are actually rarely eaten, mainly because the meat is of average quality, tastes bad, and has no other uses, so it has basically lost its fishing value.

Moreover, this kind of razorfish is a cannibal, and they are not afraid of life and death. The razorfish around Bilgewater probably devour human flesh and blood.

After all, the number of people who are drowned in the sea every week is estimated to be no less than ten. These razorfish can be eaten.

In addition, the popular funeral method in Bilgewater is not to bury the body, but to return the body to the sea. The razorfish schools that wander around the port area all year round often harm the bodies of the poor.

There is a cemetery in the port area with countless buoys floating on it, and the bodies of the deceased hang under each buoy.

Rich people naturally have well-sealed, exquisite and expensive underwater coffins, as well as luxurious buoy tombstones, so that the body can be preserved decently after death.

The corpses of the poor were gathered into piles, tied to old anchors purchased through joint ventures, and hung under leaky barrels, allowing shoals of razorfish to gnaw at them.

"Okay~ Then I'll eat it myself."

After Wei Le was rejected, he sat down and started to eat, but he would occasionally look at Reed secretly.

"Ha, is this guy's bounty so high?"

As soon as he opened the file, Reed asked a question in confusion, and Wilo, who had been paying attention, was startled, and the lantern fish tentacles on his head raised and lit up.

Wilo put down the bowl in his hand and stood up awkwardly. He first thought seriously and recalled what Reed said, and then he suddenly started to answer.

"The reward was offered by Gangplank, the son of the great pirate Phantom Vincent. That guy seems to have cheated him of his money."

Weller's information and Reed's information can corroborate each other, and it seems that Plank is indeed very angry.

In Bilgewater, the bounty list may be the closest thing to law and order. The names written on it are all the evildoers in Bilgewater with extremely high bounties.

The rankings on the bounty list are sorted by the price of each head. Currently, the one with the highest bounty is Gangplank's father, the great pirate "Phantom Vincent" who roams the sea.

Before becoming the "Pirate King" of Bilgewater, "Phantom Vincent" has very few opponents, and this is why Gangplank is under so much pressure, as the only successor to the "Future Pirate King" , his original character is really hard to trust.

"You can continue eating. Just answer my questions while eating. You don't have to be so formal. I don't care."

Reed nodded and reassured the cautious Wilo, and then he continued to look at the file in his hand.

Reid's brows quickly wrinkled because he saw a familiar name in this file.

That was a name that once belonged to a human, but was later lost to a demon. This was not a good sign. The unlucky guy actually got involved with the demon.
