Chapter 245: Voyage at Sea
After a few days of sailing, the Death Omen sailed calmly on the surface of the sea, probably because of the prestige of the Southern Cross fleet, many pirates who lived by robbing the fleet dodged after seeing the huge Death Omen, as if he and their pirates had become lambs to the slaughter, and the Southern Cross fleet had become butchers.
This made Hu Tao, who wanted to sell the business of the Afterlife Hall to these pirates, a little disappointed, in her eyes, these pirates were some potential customers, but she didn't expect that she didn't even have the courage to come up.
However, Hu Tao, who has been observing the pirate ship, also noticed some surprises, some pirate ships will actually send some small ships to and fro with the supply ship behind the death omen, as if they are making a deal.
"Alas~ It's really boring, I thought I would meet some pirates or something and then have a big fight, and then the master of the hall will sell his business."
Hu Tao was lying on the guardrail looking at the ocean and the pirate ship that was drifting away, and he was very depressed, and there was no accident for so long, which made Hu Tao very bored, and Beidou, who was standing on the deck, couldn't help but laugh when he heard Hu Tao's complaints.
"Haha, Little Walnut, do you think that I haven't made a name for myself at sea all these years, let alone these little pirate groups, even the big pirate groups don't care about provoking my Southern Cross fleet."
After fighting at sea for so many years, the names of the Southern Cross Fleet and the Uncrowned Dragon King have long spread throughout the sea, and these names are not something that she can have if Beidou is beautiful, it is Beidou who has fought in countless battles.
"Miss Hu Tao, since our Big Sister Beidou threw an entire ship of pirates into the sea by herself, there is no pirate group that dares to attack our Southern Cross fleet."
"And our Southern Cross fleet brings a large number of materials at a fair price, and will not raise the price like other fleets, and those pirates don't want to conflict with us, otherwise our supplies will not be sold to them at all."
A young lady in charge of bookkeeping on the side recorded how much Mora had just earned from trading with pirates, and proudly explained to Hu Tao why the pirates would not come to provoke the Southern Cross fleet.
Hu Tao blinked, I don't know if it's her delusion, she always feels that every sailor on the Beidou ship admires Beidou, no, that guy called Wanye doesn't seem to worship Beidou very much, that guy can talk to Ruoban, and the two of them talked about Inazuma a lot when they had dinner before.
"Ah Ban, do you still have any snacks that Xiangling made for you? Give me a little more~"
It's really boring, Hu Tao jumped up to Ruoban's side and began to pick up the snacks prepared by Xiangling for Ruoban, and can eat Xiangling's special snacks when sailing on the sea, which is undoubtedly a treat for anyone who has tasted Xiangling's craftsmanship.
"Xiangling's snacks for me have already been eaten, and if you want to eat Hu Tao, I have some snacks I bought in Liyue Harbor."
Staring at the chessboard tightly, Ruo Ban took out a pack of dim sum without raising his head and put it in Hu Tao's hand, now is the critical moment for him and Zhongli to fight on the chessboard, since Ying was idle and bored to make a thing called chess, Ruo Ban, who was in contact with chess at the same time as Zhongli, has lost forty-eight games in a row.
This completely aroused Ruoban's competitive spirit, you said that Zhongli was old and experienced in Liyue's chess, but Zhongli Ruoban also admitted it, and now that they are on the same level, Ruoban doesn't believe that Zhongli can't win a game.
Seeing that Ruo Ban looked like he was completely on the same page with Zhong Li, Hu Tao secretly glared at Zhong Li, who was still drinking tea with a teacup with a relaxed face, and secretly made a note of Zhong Li.
"It's amazing today, I haven't caught a single fish this morning."
Ying, who was sitting on the bow of the boat fishing, put away the fishing rod in wonder, she would have a harvest every time she fished a few days ago, why was her luck so bad today, she still wanted to catch a few good fish today and add dinner at noon, seeing that she couldn't add dinner at noon.
Paimon was also a little frustrated by this, Beidou told her that she was getting closer and closer to the waters of Inazuma, and she wondered what Ying would be able to catch a fish to taste today.
"No, it shouldn't be a matter of luck, the surrounding thunder element is getting stronger and stronger, and it should be the thunderstorm blocking Inazuma that scared all the surrounding fish away."
Zhongli silently felt the surrounding elements, being able to use the thunder element to influence such a wide range, it must have come from the hand of that thunder god, but he didn't expect that after five hundred years of not seeing, that former shadow warrior had actually grown to such an extent, it was really amazing.
"Blockade of Inazuma's thunderstorm?"
Zhongli's words took Ruoban's eyes off the chessboard for a moment, as he had met a woman who had drifted from Inazuma to Liyue Harbor during his time at the docks, and she had described the thunderstorm blockading Inazuma to Ruoban, and it was hard for Ruoban to imagine how the woman had managed to pass through the thunderstorm with a small boat and even reach Liyue Harbor.
"Let's go here for the time being, I'll go to the lookout to see if the storm is strong, there are so many ships in Liyue Harbor that only Sister Beidou's Death Omen Star is capable of passing through."
Got up and pinched Hu Tao's little face, Ruo Ban began to walk towards the lookout, to be honest, if he could win this game of chess, he would definitely continue to play chess with Zhong Li, but seeing that Zhong Li had eaten no chess pieces left, Ruo Ban still decided to go to see the thunderstorm, so it could not be counted as he lost to Zhong Li 49 times in a row, as long as he was not defeated by the general, it would not be considered a loss.
"There's a thunderstorm blocking Inazuma ahead, if it's forbidden for us to go down quickly, it's too unsafe up there, and if something happens, we'll be split into black charcoal by that violent thunder."
Ruoban just climbed onto the lookout, Wanye looked at the dense dark clouds not far away, as if remembering some bad memories and constantly urging Ruoban to leave the lookout, and this also aroused Ruoban's curiosity, after a few days of getting along, Wanye's character Ruoban is almost also understood, it stands to reason that Wanye's character is not like this kind of person who will be anxious, why did this suddenly become so impatient.
"Kazuha, how do you know so much about how it feels after being struck by lightning, do you say~"
“。。。”
Hearing Ruoban's words, Wanye seemed to remember some embarrassing memories, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and from the micro-expression on Wanye's face, it can be seen that the experience of this little brother Wanye seems to be quite rich, Ruoban is a little curious about what Wanye has experienced, and in the face of Ruoban's curious gaze, Wanye was silent for a while and then took a deep breath and said slowly.
"When I escaped from Inazuma through a thunderstorm on the Death Omen, I was suddenly struck by thunder falling from the sky for some reason, and I was struck eight times, and now I'm close to Inazuma's range, I'm not sure if the thunder that struck me will affect you, so let's hurry back to the bed."
"Huh? Struck by lightning? Little Brother Kazuha, don't you have a Vision of God? Why don't you use elemental power to resist it? “
Looking at the Vision of the Gods on Kazuha's body, Ruoban, who had seen Kazuha manipulate the wind element, was even more curious about the cause and effect of the matter, how could a holder of the Vision of the Wind Element, who was known for his agility and speed, be hacked by thunder, and he had been hacked so many times.
"I've dodged and blocked, but those thunders are chasing me as if they're alive."
With a little depression and fear in his eyes, Kazuha controlled the wind element and slowly fell towards the deck, until now Kazuha himself didn't understand why, and he hadn't heard of this kind of treatment when someone wanted by Inazuma passed through a thunderstorm.
Ruo Ban on the lookout looked at Wan Ye's back and touched his chin carelessly, he could chase the lightning that people split, he really hadn't seen it, according to the story that Ruo Tuo Boss told before, it seems that Ruo Tuo Boss has never seen it, or will wake up Ruo Tuo Boss so that he can also see it?
"Wanye, why did you come down alone, if it is forbidden, does he want to turn into charcoal, hurry up and let him come down."
Seeing that only Kazuha came down from the lookout alone, Beidou was a little anxious, and he was about to collide with a thunderstorm, and it was a little difficult for her to resist the thunderstorm that blocked Inazuma, and if she stood so high, she would not be killed by Thunder Gei-.
"Don't worry, I haven't paid attention to this thunder and lightning yet, Sister Beidou, just go ahead and sail!"
"You fart, I've crossed this thunderstorm a hundred times and eighty times, and I've never seen this thunderstorm! Hurry up and get me down! ”
Seeing that the thunderstorm was getting closer and closer, Ruo Ban still looked like he refused to come down, Beidou was crossed, and he was ready to cut off the lookout with the big sword in his hand, after all, compared to an lookout, she thought that Ruo Ban's life was more important.
"Captain Beidou doesn't need to be so anxious, if he is an immortal disciple, I don't think he should do something that he is not sure of."
Beidou, who was stopped by Zhongli, heard Zhongli say this, and inadvertently felt that what Zhongli said made sense, remembering that Ningguang had told him before that if he could forbid and think that he was a demon god, Beidou's hanging heart was slightly relaxed, and he turned around and began to command the rest of the crew.
Looking up at the lookout on the heights, where Zhongli felt the awakening of the Dragon King, his poor old friend who was seasick was now about to end his voyage, and this thunderstorm landscape arranged by the gods made his old friend see that the ship had not been dizzy for days in vain.
For the matter of the seasickness of the Ruotuo Dragon King, Zhongli, who has been a brother with the Ruotuo Dragon King for thousands of years, also knew for the first time, and Zhongli thought about it for a long time, and he couldn't understand why the Ruotuo Dragon King was seasick.
It wasn't until he saw Paimon sitting on a chair eating and eating and vomiting because of seasickness that Zhongli had an idea in his mind, was there a possibility that Ruo Tuo couldn't fly that caused him to be seasick?
"Ying, I inquired with the sailors, it is said that the strength of the Raiden Shogun is very strong, otherwise, let's try to fool Zhongli and let Zhongli go with us to visit the Raiden Shogun."
"If Zhongli is here, we will definitely be able to meet that Raiden General, maybe Raiden Shogun will make us officials for the sake of Zhongli's face, and then we can send our subordinates to look for clues about your brother in Inazuma."
Paimon's words made Ying a little moved, if Zhongli, the Emperor of the Rock King, went with them to meet Inazuma's god Raiden General, if nothing else, at least the safety was very secure, and Ying, who had seen Zhongli's move, had no doubts about the sense of security that Zhongli brought.
"Ahem, it's generally rational, I'm just coming to Inazuma this time to promote the Afterlife Hall with Master Hutang, and things like visiting gods are your experience as a traveler, and I have no right to interfere."
Well, Zhongli's words directly extinguished the flame of anticipation in Paimon and Ying's hearts like a basin of cold water, and it seemed that going to see Raiden General through Zhongli's road was blocked, so he had to find another way to Inazuma.
But before that, she needs to climb the lookout to help Beidou survive this thunderstorm, looking at the thunderstorm that falls from the sky like a waterfall not far away and Beidou's dignified face, she has already accepted Beidou's love and caught the Ying of the Death Omen Star for free, and tightened the imperial guard that Yae Miko sent her before leaving, and resolutely climbed towards the lookout.
In the middle of the sea, the Death Omen Star sailed at the forefront of the entire Southern Cross Fleet, and on the deck, Beidou held a big sword and prepared to face the terrifying thunderstorm in front of him, and on the lookout of the Death Omen, Ruo Ban, who was about to climb down, suddenly found that Ying came to the lookout with a royal guard emitting a bright pink light.
"Ying? What are you doing when you come up, hurry down, the thunderstorm in front of you is too terrifying, and your thin arms and legs are injured. ”
Seeing that Ying was scared, Ruo Ban was in a hurry to carry Ying and planned to forcibly take Ying down, but it took a lot of effort to climb up and Ying didn't have time to catch her breath when she realized that Ruo Ban wanted to carry her down, Ying immediately shouted.
"If it's forbidden, you let me down, I've got something here that can get you through the thunderstorm."
"Huh?"
Suspiciously, Ying lowered it from her shoulder, and Ying hurriedly opened the omamori hanging from her waist, which Yae Miko had given her before leaving, and Yae Miko had told her that if she wanted to get to Inazuma smoothly, she could open it and seek a solution to the problem when she encountered obstacles.
Now that it's about to arrive in Inazuma, I'm afraid that the obstacles encountered are not only the thunderstorms around Inazuma, feeling the thunder element that comes from the violent thunderstorms not far away, I don't know how many times more terrifying than her thunder element, Ying swallowed deeply, and prayed in her heart that Yae Miko wouldn't pit her, Ying opened the pink omamori, and there was a note lying quietly in the omamori.
"I'm so stupid, really, I know that Yae Miko's pink-haired fox likes to tease people, but I chose to believe her, and this activation line is too shameful...
Looking at Yae Miko's message in the Imperial Guard, Ying's intestines are now repentant, and she meowed, she is really too young compared to a bad woman like Yae Miko, she should have thought that this crumb fox who likes to flirt with people would not let go of this good opportunity so easily, why did she marry this Imperial Guard at that time.
