"That seems to be a blonde stranger and a white floater?" A wandering samurai said uncertainly to his companion.

"Be confident, get rid of the likeness, this is the blonde stranger and the white floater."

"I didn't expect to meet the rumored blonde stranger and white floater as well."

A wandering samurai reminded, "Didn't you see them coming towards us? ”

"Then why are you still stunned? Run! The wandering warrior who asked the question ran straight into the distance without stopping.

"Run!" The wandering warriors gathered together suddenly scattered like birds and beasts.

Swordfish Second Team Member: "."

"So you're a blonde stranger and a white floater, I wasn't sure before, if only I had thought of it earlier." The acting captain of the swordfish second team looked at the wandering samurai who were scattered like birds and beasts, and sighed.

"You don't ask yourself." Paimon replied.

"Mine mine, after all, I haven't really seen it, but you are really famous among the wandering samurai and sea rebels, if you directly say that you are blonde strangers and white floating spirits, it is not much more useful than those rumors in the army, I thought it was an exaggeration."

"Now that I think about it, the rumors can still be true."

"To introduce, my name is Kotoku, the acting captain of the Swordfish second team. This is Jia Jiu, and he is also a veteran of the team. There are a few others."

"Now, I officially hand over the position of captain to you. The Swordfish second team, ready to standby. ”

"I'm only paying it now, so you're not convinced before?" Paimon spotted his blind spot and said to Kotoku.

"No, no, I just want to have a clear understanding of the captain's strength." Xingde hurriedly explained.

"Captain, there are two hard-hit areas that have been attacked, and the wandering samurai here have been killed by the captain, and their stronghold is only the shallows in the eastern part of the island." Kajiu suddenly said, "So we have to hurry over and destroy them." ”

"No need, all the wandering samurai on Watatsumi Island have run out except here, and this is the last place." Paimon said.

"Since the captain has been there, then we are also relieved, presumably the wandering samurai there will definitely be as frightened as the previous wandering samurai when they see the captain." Kajiu agreed.

Inside the Golden Tree, there is a golden world, both in the sky and on the ground.

Tassel stood quietly in place, looking at the purple-haired girl in front of her who was suddenly summoned by her, and said, "Keqing." ”

"Master? Where am I now? How did you become like this? ”

Keqing was stunned for a moment, she was still in Mondstadt just now, but as soon as she saw a flower, she came to this golden world, looking at the tassels in the state of golden eyes, Keqing was a little stunned for a while, she didn't understand what was going on.

bullied the king of the Great Cishu in front, and in the end, the other party hid in his body and never wanted to come out again, and suppressed his sense of existence to the minimum, resulting in the tassel still being the same as it was.

Thinking of this, Tassel poked the King of the Great Ci Tree in his heart, and the King of the Great Ci Tree conveyed a very aggrieved mood to the Tassel, and then the appearance of the tassel changed again to the appearance of the Golden Tree that had not yet entered the Golden Tree.

Keqing: "."

Keqing was a little entangled, and the tassel's skin-changing behavior made her feel very puzzled.

"It's nothing, my changes don't matter, as for this, it's the inside of the Golden Tree." Tassel explained blandly after doing this.

"The inside of the Golden Tree?" Ke Qing looked at this golden space curiously and asked at the tassel, "Then what did Master ask me to come over?" ”

Tassel explained, "I realized that your strength had reached a bottleneck, so I summoned you here. ”

"I also found that after this period of travel, my strength has increased very slowly." Keqing replied.

"Well, now that it's at this point, the Vision doesn't matter anymore." After Tassel finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and attracted all the two divine visions that Keqing hung on his waist.

Then, in Keqing's surprised gaze, he crushed the two divine visions in his hands.

"Master. Why? She asked instinctively, the moment she lost her vision, Keqing felt empty in her heart, as if her wish had been taken away, and all that was left was endless confusion.

"The Vision restricts you, and as my apprentice, I don't want you to have such a restriction." After the tassel finished speaking, two breaths poured out from the god's eyes that had dissipated into powder, and the tassel pulled this breath, and then added a little function and put it back into Keqing's body.

"What's going on?" The wish returned to her body, and Keqing looked at herself with some curiosity, obviously feeling that a shackle that bound her had disappeared.

"Well, the Vision was born because of a strong desire, but as the owner of the Vision, losing the Vision is equivalent to losing this desire, and thus becoming a person who does nothing."

"I see, but without the Vision, how can I use elemental power?"

Tassel replied with a smile: "How can elemental power be as good as the power outside the world, you have already mastered the usage, just try it again." ”

"But without the Vision, how can you use your power in the future? It's going to get weird in Teyvat, right? ”

"You can just make a glass ball yourself, as an ornament." Tassel replied.

Keqing: "."

"By the way, there is a new power, you go and study it, it will help you." After speaking, the tassel gave Keqing a message.

"Uh-huh, thank you, Master." Ke Qing read the new ability given by the tassel with a happy face, she felt that she would become stronger and stronger, and it was not impossible to surpass the emperor in the future.

"Alright, you can leave."

After the tassel was finished, Keqing felt a flower in front of him, and when he opened his eyes again, he appeared in Mondstadt again.

"It turns out that is the original appearance of the master, I feel more majestic than the emperor, those golden pupils, well, although I don't want to admit it, but in my heart, the master's figure seems to be getting clearer and clearer, ah, why is there no master-shaped clay puppet."

Keqing touched and sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hands to meet the original figure of the tassel, a pair of amethyst-like eyes with fanatical adoration.

"Keqing, are you okay?" Ganyu looked at Keqing, who was not right, and asked with some concern.

Keqing heard Ganyu's voice and hurriedly replied, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"Really?" Gan Yuhu looked at Ke Qing suspiciously, Ke Qing didn't look like he was fine.

Watatsumi Island, Coral Palace.

"The mission given to us by Sangonomiya Kokomi has been completed, let's go find her." Paimon said to Ying.

"Hey, what's the use of this swordfish second-team? It's not as strong as the Sea Rebellion Ghost. Ying complained as she flew towards the Sango Palace with Paimon.

"Experience it, you can't be a bulldozer hoeing the ground every day, right? We also have to experience life. Paimon replied.

"Also, I feel less and less like a person because of the tassels." Ying rubbed her head and said distressedly.

After listening to Ying's complaint, Paimon's eyes flashed, and he comforted Ying, "God and man are actually the same, as long as you follow your heart, you can be whatever you want; Besides, God is just a powerful man. ”

"You have a point, alas, but I just feel a little wrong, no, I have to relax." Ying shook her head and said.

"Then let's go relax after we're done, eat a lot, and do a lot of interesting things." Paimon said with a smile.

Ying happily replied, "Uh-huh, rush to the stars and the abyss."

"To the stars and the abyss!" Paimon echoed with a smile.

"How did you go smoothly?" Sangonomiya Kokomi asked, looking at the returning Ying and Paimon.

Ying crossed her waist and replied, "It went very well! ”

"However, when you took over the Swordfish second team, Xingde and they still tested you a little, right?"

"However, I believe that with your ability, it will be easy to pass this test."

Paimon also chimed in with Ying crossing his waist and tilting his head, "yes, yes, Ying knocked them all down, and none of them had any objections." ”

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "."

"You guys have come to return to their lives, which means that the wandering samurai who landed on Watatsumi Island have been driven away, right?"

"Of course, they ran away on their own when they saw us." Paimon replied with her head tilted back, finding it really comfortable to speak in this way, especially if the other party was not as strong as Ying.

"Hehe, too, I forgot that you are very famous among the wandering warriors and the wild people." Sangonomiya Kokomi was stunned for a moment, and continued: "Next, as long as Okubo sends someone to guard it strictly, you can prevent them from making trouble again. ”

"It's hard work, it's rewarded, and you have to be rewarded. Let me think... Promotions don't work, it's too fast. Increase military salaries." Sangonomiya Kokomi touched her chin and pondered what reward to give Ying, but after thinking about it for a while, she found that she couldn't give it.

"Why didn't you see Teppei?" Paimon wondered.

"I also assigned a mission to Teppei, which is a surprise attack on the shogunate navy." Hearing Paimon's words, Sangonomiya Kokomi came back to his senses and explained, "He doesn't want to stay in the rear, and I respect his choice." ”

"Straight to business, Traveler, there's a special mission I want to give you."

Paimon wondered, "Special mission?" ”

Sangonomiya Kokomi explained, "Yes. Between Watatsumi Island and Tatatarasa, there is a ruin of a demon god. There are several small islands that are often used as transit points for the delivery of supplies. ”

"But during this time, the grain and grass stored there often disappear inexplicably."

"However, when the army passed by, they said that they did not see any danger... I'd like to entrust you with the help to find out the truth. ”

"It's not urgent, there's no need to rush. In the next few days, you might as well familiarize yourself with the army, or you can go around Watatsumi Island. ”

"When Teppei comes back, you can chat with him, and then find a sunny day to go to sea."

Listening to Sangonomiya Kokomi's words, Paimon hurriedly said, "No, no, we've finished turning Watatsumi Island, let's go and complete the mission now." ”

Watatsumi Island has even been searched underground, and Paimon and Paimon have all been searched, and they have encountered some special monsters, such as phaseless water, and there are a lot of treasures, so there is no need to visit Watatsumi Island for the two of them now.

"Is that so? Well, I respect your decision. "Sangonomiya Kokomi was overjoyed when he heard Paimon's words, if only this kind of person could be used for himself.

"But, is Teppei really okay?" Paimon touched his chin and wondered.

—I was a little worried when I thought of how reckless he used to be. By the way, Ann Ran smiled, let's go to the training camp and wait for him, and then we'll go to the Demon God Ruins after we meet him. ”

Paimon's mention of Teppei's matter again makes Ying look at her, Paimon won't mention one thing or twice for no reason, which means that Teppei must have had an accident, maybe not yet, but it's a matter of time.

"Well, that's fine." Ying agreed.

When Ying and Paimon arrive at the training camp, they just happen to see Teppei, who is hurriedly preparing to go out.

"Zheping, where are you going in such a hurry?" Paimon asked in confusion as he stopped Teppei.

"No, no, nowhere to go, why are you here?" Zheping said with some wandering eyes: "How is it, do you still get along with those people in the swordfish second team?" ”

"Well, they have no objections." Ying replied.

"Yes, yes, I'm still worried that there will be problems, and I want to tell you how to command the army." Zheping scratched his head and said, "But it seems that it is not needed now." ”

"Teppei, where did you know that?" Paimon wondered.

Teppei replied, "From a book published by Yaedo... That was a long time ago. At that time, I used several dumplings as bribes, and the friend agreed to borrow them from me. ”

Paimon turned to Ying and complained, "Actually trying to use the stuff to guide the army, is this what others say on paper?" ”

"Hmph, don't underestimate me. Now, like you, I'm learning and figuring out how to run the army. Hearing Paimon's words, Teppei was not annoyed, but said with a smug face.

"You're the captain too?" Ying said suspiciously, it's only been a few days, counting the five days they've been searching in the carpet on Watatsumi Island, and this is only the sixth day.

Teppei replied excitedly, "That's right! Because of my contribution to the naval battle, I am now also the captain of the Einsatzgruppen! ”

"And it's a brand new squad, how about the herring Ichiban team, doesn't it sound amazing?"

"I asked Sango-sama, and Sango-sama said that our uniforms are already being made."

"When it's ready, let's go and get the uniforms back. After that, we changed into a brand new team uniform and met each other, which was cool to think about! ”

Ying replied lightly: "I don't need to." ”

"Huh? But it's okay if you don't." Zheping was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "It's so good, thanks to what I got from the sponsor."

"Captain, there's a new mission." A rebel sergeant said to Teppei.

"Well, I'll go over now. Then I'll go first, traveler, and see you next time, but be careful not to be overtaken by me. ”

"Unless the sun comes out in the west, you won't be able to overtake me." Ying glanced at Teppei and said.

Teppei: "."

I'm just talking about it, I don't have to be so serious, right? It's impossible for me to surpass your combat power.

"Ahem. It's hard to say. Now I'm in super good shape, it's a good time to make a difference! ”

Teppei coughed a little abnormally twice, and then left.

Paimon watched Teppei go away and said to Ying, "I didn't expect Teppei to be promoted to squad leader, it seems that he really worked hard." ”

"I don't think it's right, with Teppei's ability, how can he be promoted to squad leader so quickly?" Ying touched her chin and said.

"Ying, what do you mean?" Paimon asked, confused.

"It's nothing, since it's his choice, I can't interfere with anything." Yingrong replied expressionlessly, "Let's go, let's go to the Demon God Ruins." ”

"Hey! Ying: Why did you start to be a Riddler? It's hard to talk halfway. Paimon huffs and huffs after Ying, complaining about Ying's excesses as a riddler.

According to the information given by the heart of the Sango Palace, Ying and Paimon spent two days searching all the way to find a small island with three thunder elemental monuments, and after Ying decrypted it with the god of wisdom, a hilichurl thunder dou king appeared.

Not long after this Qiuchu Leidou King appeared, he was sent over by Yingyi Sword to see the heavens before he could roar twice.

"Why is there such a big hilichur king here?" Paimon asked, confused.

Ying replied: "How do I know, but the mission doesn't seem to be completed yet, and we will know the result all the way through, but the blue stripe is too slow to recharge, otherwise we can find it faster." ”

"Huh, Teppei? Why are you here too? Paimon said.

"Ahem... I'm also surprised, it turns out that you are here to investigate. Teppei replied.

"I just came back from the front line after transporting supplies, and I want to clean up the threat in the neighborhood by the way. Ahem..."

Paimon saw that Tehei's complexion was not as much older than before, and even his originally black hair had turned dark gray, and said with some concern, "It's okay." You look a little weird. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I guess I froze when I went to sea two days ago." Teppei hurriedly replied, "When I was passing by here, I heard that someone had just landed on the island not long ago to investigate, so I wanted to come and have a look. ”

"If there's any danger, maybe I'll be a hero... It's a pity that I met you, and it seems that I came for nothing. ”

"Your state is not normal, and your vitality has obviously passed a lot, although I don't know what you did, but I don't recommend that you continue, because then you will die." Ying suddenly said to Teppei.

Zheping listened to Ying's words, was silent for a moment and replied, "I, I, I'm fine, don't worry." ”

"Well, it's good that you know it yourself." Ying glanced at Zheping and didn't say anything, since the other party had already decided, it would be futile for her to say anything.

After listening to Ying's words and being silent for a long time, Zheping suddenly sighed: "Traveler, I don't know why I have a strange feeling, that is, I can feel that you are not the same as me. ”

Ying asked with surprise: "What's the difference?" ”
