Chapter 17, Separate Actions

The next day, in the harbor of Rogue Town, Smoker and Dusty stood here again.

Unlike yesterday, they came to see them off this time, of course, Karp didn't come, and the old man was still sleeping at this time, but his adjutant Bogart still came.

"Brother Kong, we'll send it here, Rogue Town is close to the Red Earth Continent, if you have a good wind from here to the nearest Red Earth Pass, you can get there in three hours, you can take these fruits with you, they are all ripe, and you can relieve boredom on the way."

Smoker carried a bag of fruit and handed it to Sora, the most suitable gift for a regular voyager.

"Then thank you, Big Brother Smoker, and look forward to seeing each other on the Great Voyage in a month's time."

"Well, I'll have to trouble Brother Kong to be my guide when the time comes."

"A must! Haha, then don't bother too much, Karp Lao'er will trouble you more. ”

"Yes, the vice admiral's ship has already begun to be repaired, and it will be completed in a week."

Sora and Paimon get into the boat, and Bogart steps forward, the ecology as cold as the others.

"Sora, Lieutenant General let me bring you a message."

"Chief Bogart, but it doesn't hurt to say that."

"Hmm... The lieutenant general said, on the Red Earth Continent here, is the area inhabited by the Tianlong people, not Marin Fando, although you have a pass document to pass by, but don't have too many conflicts with them. ”

Sora laughed.

"Don't worry, although I usually use a warship to walk the windless belt, but the Red Earth Continent has followed our old man a few times before, I understand what the Tianlong people are like, and I still have this bit of psychological preparation."

"No, this time it's different, the lord on the Red Earth Continent here is Bukarqing, he... He has some special fetishes for children.,Paimon.。。 It's better to bring a cape. ”

Almost instantly, the empty fist subconsciously clenched.

Bogart frowned, but didn't say anything.

"It's good that you remember your identity, even if you are a marshal of the Warring States, there is nothing you can do to face the Celestial Dragons."

Sora smiled.

"Don't worry, I know it in my heart, and it's so big, we're just passing by, we may not be able to bump into it, Paimon I'll hide it from her."

"Hmm...

With that, he put down the single sail on the boat.

"Alright, Chief Bogart, Dusty Juncao, Brother Smoker, no need to send it, I'll go."

"Have a nice trip!"

The sea breeze blew the sails and carried the boat farther and farther away, and when it was far from the harbor, it burrowed into the cabin.

"So, come on, this pear is so sweet!"

Paimon inside has already started to be built, her body is so small, and she doesn't know why she eats so much, it feels like she can be compared to Luffy.

"Well, if it's delicious, eat more."

Paimon senses that something is on her mind and hands her a pear the size of her face.

"Sora, what's wrong with you? What did they tell you? ”

Sora pondered for a while.

"Paimon, don't follow me this time."

"Huh!? Why! Because I'm too good to eat? I.. Would I like to eat less next time? ”

Looking at Paimon's aggrieved little face, he pinched it dotingly.

"Yikes! Don't pinch! Otherwise, it won't grow tall! ”

"I haven't seen you grow taller in the past four years, and you still eat so much."

"It's rude! Sora, why didn't you let me follow you... We've always been inseparable! ”

Empty said.

"Because I need a good assistant to help, you see that Kaeya doesn't care about money, Razor can't either, Lisa's vision is too high, I'm afraid that she spends a lot of money, I want to find someone I trust the most to help take a look, if you don't want to, then forget it."

Paimon's eyes lit up as soon as he heard about the money.

"No, no! This kind of difficult task must be entrusted to me! I'm the best at managing money! ”

"Huh? But you just said that you are inseparable from me. ”

Paimon was a little embarrassed.

"Oops... I'm your best friend, shouldn't I be doing this kind of thing? Empty~ You'll let me go! ”

"Okay, let you go, I'll pick you up when you get to the great voyage, okay?"

"Uh-huh! Deal! Let's pull the hook! ”

"Come, hang yourself on the hook, you won't change for a hundred years!"

Seeing Paimon happily agree, Hollow breathed a sigh of relief.

As a traverser, he understands that Bogart's words have already set the flag, and if he takes Paimon to the Red Earth Continent, he will encounter 100% bad things.

So, he decided to nip the incident in the cradle.

This is the same as at the beginning of a horror movie, if those protagonists listen to persuasion, maybe there will be no more.

And similar things have happened before, when he encountered some very dark events in the past, Sora would also use various methods to support Paimon, although he knew that Paimon was not simple, but he just didn't want Paimon to experience these darkness himself, and those things were conveyed by him and Paimon saw with his own eyes, which were completely two different feelings.

He's an ordinary person who can survive in this world, and Paimon is the light that guards the last bottom line in his heart.

"Hey, but Kaeya and they're still in Rogue Town?"

Sora pulled open the windows of the cabin.

"Here they are."

"Huh!?"

I saw that on the sea outside, a 30-meter-class two-masted ship was heading this way, and at the same time, a blue flag fluttered on the top of the mast.

"Oh my God! That's the flag of Mondstadt! ”

Sora sighed with emotion.

"Kaeya's guy... Is this to restore the country in the world of pirates? ”

The big ship approached, and the crew on it were all hilichurls, and there was even a bewitching woman in a purple robe, which was none other than the Fatui's Thunder Warlock.

"Hey! Boss!! ”

Kaeya grabbed a rope and swung down like a pirate, landing on top of the boat.

"Well, this Zephyr Guardian is good, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's amazing to build such a big boat in such a short time!"

Kaeya gave up.

"Luckily, there's another ship in the dockyard in Rogue Town, and it's hard and big enough to pass through the upside-down hill you mentioned."

"Good work, Razor and Miss Lisa?"

Kaeya sighed.

"Miss Lisa. Anyway, I'm very sleepy when I come out of Rogue Town.,I'm still resting in the room at this time.,Razor is guarding at the door.,This master and apprentice.,Absolutely。。。 Fortunately, with the help of the hilichurl and the Thunder Warlock, and the Wind Slime for power, I wouldn't have been able to handle this ship. ”

Sora looked up at the Thunder Warlock who was measuring the weather at the bow of the ship.

"This Thunder Ying Warlock, how do you feel about your strength?"

"Strong, a little worse than us, and most importantly, people know a lot of knowledge, especially sailing... Tsk, I have to say, their training in the Winter Country is really all-powerful. ”

Kaeya was slapped in the air.

"Alright, this is not Teyvat, the feud between Solstice and Mondstadt can be put aside, here, everyone is family."

"Hahaha, too, by the way, you summoned us to wait for you here, is there something wrong?"

Sora took out a notebook from his backpack.

"This is my plan, after passing through the Upside Down Mountain, you will see a lighthouse, where there is an old man, and a whale, but don't disturb them, the tranquilizers and excess supplies that you asked you to help buy before will be sent to them."

"Old man? Is it the boss your elder? ”

Empty shake head.

"No, but it's a person with a deep background, in short, even if you don't get a good feeling, you can't make a bad relationship, if he asks who sent it, you can tell the truth, but don't mention my name, we can't expose our relationship at this stage."

"I see, I'll take care of it."

"Well, then after you pass by the lighthouse, you go back to a place called the Whiskey Islands, where the pirate hunters gather, they are responsible for intercepting the pirates who come to the great shipping route, you develop the first stronghold over there, don't be too public, I have a plan in which to write how to operate, and when it is stable, we will continue to advance step by step towards Alabastan, and we will meet there."

The notes in his empty hand were written by him who stayed up all night, of course, he had already dumped all the pots of these plans in his heart to the dragon, and he didn't have any psychological burden in his heart at the moment.

Kaeya flipped through the notes and marveled.

"That's amazing... As the boss, this million-dollar council of elders was investigated in such detail. ”

Sora has nothing to explain, and he will have to go to Alabastan in the future.

"That's fine, by the way, Paimon will be handed over to you."

Paimon crossed his hands on his hips, very angry.

"Humph! I'm here to take care of the accounts! ”

"Uhhhh Keeping accounts? ”

Kaeya didn't understand very well, as a dependent, he knew the relationship between Paimon and Sora, and if the two were separated, Sora would be missing the greatest help.

Null doesn't explain much.

"Anyway, Paimon pleases you."

Kaeya was alive and understood the meaning of empty words.

"I see, don't worry! We'll definitely protect Paimon! ”

"Then we will meet again on the Great Voyage."

Paimon followed Kaeya aboard the Westwind Guardian, and after seeing the ship off, he turned his gaze to the majestic red mountains in the distance.

"The Red Continent... Tenryu people. Let me see how dark you really are ... ”
