People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 465 Ying: I suddenly regretted it. Can I apply to go back?
Time on the sea passed in a flash, after sailing continuously day and night,
As the only armed fleet in Liyue, with the help of the numerous blessing spells on board, the Southern Cross Fleet approached its destination with an efficiency unimaginable for ordinary fleets.

Although the most time-consuming and difficult part is still ahead, with Manye's navigation and the force of Big Sister Beidou, at least the crew is not too worried about the outcome of this trip.

"Boom——"

At the edge of the Inazuma Sea, in front of the thunderstorm that blocks the country.

Thunderclouds exploded, and dense dark clouds covered a large area of ​​sea around Inazuma.

As a symbol of the power of the gods, the lightning in the sky indiscriminately attacks all intruders who do not follow the prescribed route. Because the lightning is so dense, it even forms a deep purple wall of lightning in some areas.

"—Get ready and proceed according to the safe route on the nautical chart. The ships behind will follow the flagship closely and adjust their direction at any time according to Manye's guidance!"

Even though the fleet had magical skills for protection, the first mate naturally couldn't let the fleet confront these thunderclouds head-on:

——Inazuma is only closed to the outside world with a limited degree of isolation. It does not completely cut off entry and exit from the inside and outside. There are still some relatively safe areas.

Although the fleet was familiar with this route, they did not need to move as cautiously as ordinary merchant caravans,

But the reason why he is so bold now is that with Wan Ye's incredible ability, it is almost impossible for him to deviate from the course and enter the thunderstorm area.

"Boom——"

It was pouring rain, and only experienced sailors were busy on the deck. Even the inexperienced newcomers were asked to return to the cabin.

Inside the cabin of the Death Star, Ying and Paimon, as "passengers", are naturally here.

Eating the food he brought with him, listening to the almost non-stop thunder outside, he knew what would happen if he barged in here without any experience. A certain white-haired ball breathed a sigh of relief:

"—Huh, luckily Xiangling introduced us to Captain Beidou. I can't imagine how many times we would have been struck by lightning if we had just rushed in."

"Xiangling said someone from Inazuma managed to float away in a small boat. I wonder how they did it."

I felt that even though I was in the cabin, my hair still became much more fluffy.

Trying hard to suppress the few white hairs that seemed to be about to stand up, Paimeng took a big bite of the sweet flower-stuffed chicken in front of him, and with a face full of happiness, he said that their own food was still better:

"—Delicious! As expected of Ying, even the food made in the Chen Ge pot is just as delicious!"

"Well, thanks to the help of scholar Lin Feng, if it weren't for the Dust Song Pot, we might have to eat those dry hardtacks with the sailors."

Although there are chefs on board, the richness of the food is completely incomparable to that on land, and the only edible "vegetables" are basically fish.
Seeing the envious eyes of the sailors, they realized once again how much such a Dust Song Pot that could carry a large amount of supplies could improve the travel experience. Paimon was also extremely grateful that they could get such a precious thing.

"Eat slowly, don't rush. We've stockpiled plenty of poultry and sweet flowers."

"After a while, we can distribute some ingredients and food to the fleet. Captain Beidou didn't charge us for the ship, so these foods will be considered as payment."

This was not the first time they had done this, and Ying and Paimon had no intention of enjoying it alone.

Although every time they shared these fresh vegetables and food, the captain of the Beidou and the crew would persuade them to stay on the fleet with shining eyes, and the price they offered was so generous that even they were tempted,
But after all, she still has many places to go, and now she can only give an answer like "I'll think about it after the trip."
"咚咚-"

"Hey, you two, it's relatively safe now. If you're interested, would you like to take a look on the deck?"

"Actually, a thunderstorm of this magnitude is quite shocking the first time you see it, but after seeing it too many times, you tend to just want it to clear up quickly."

Interrupting my thoughts, a highly recognizable female voice came.
Ying and Paimon, who were just thinking about the captain, could naturally hear that it was Beidou who was inviting them.

？ ！！

"Huh?! Can we really go up there? We'll be right there!"

She had long been bored in this windowless cabin. After the novelty wore off, if she hadn't been able to go to Chen Ge Hu, she would have been so bored that she would have rolled around on the ground.
It was a rare invitation to go out, so Paimon looked at Ying behind him and couldn't wait to take her for a walk on the deck.

"Boom——"

There was a loud bang, and the thunderclouds in the sky burst into lightning at an interlaced frequency. The mere sound of thunder could cause the deck under your feet to vibrate.

"."

Stepping out of the cabin and standing in a slightly open area on the deck, Ying and Paimon were shocked by the power of this god.
Although it is not as good as the sea of ​​seven elements seen in the sky of Mond before, being able to cover the entire country's sea area with thunderclouds is undoubtedly far beyond the imagination of mortals.

"What a massive thunderstorm! Are we actually traveling through something like this?"

With eyes wide open, Paimon admired the calmness of the crew members around him and subconsciously shrank back, worried about being struck by lightning.

"It's truly incredible. I hope this god can be more friendly and talk to us more easily after seeing us."

Nodding, I can completely understand Paimon's surprise at this moment.

After assessing the power level of this god, Ying recalled the information about Inazuma that she had heard before, and sincerely hoped that this journey would be smoother.

"—Haha, don't worry. These thunderstorms may look intimidating, but the probability of them striking someone is actually quite low."

"——We have been sailing for such a long time, but we have never seen any unlucky person being..."

"Boom!!"

？ ！！

“—Huh?! Be careful!”

Before the sailor could finish his words, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from above Ying. Since lightning strikes without any warning, theoretically, there shouldn't be any lightning here.

After watching in amazement as the girl in front of him used her elemental shield to deflect the lightning, the sailor finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"Phew, luckily you guys are strong enough, otherwise I would have felt like a jinx."

"I don't know what's going on with this cloud today. Even when we were discussing the gods before, nothing happened. Maybe it was just a coincidence."

Boom! ! !

"."

Before the sailor could finish his words of comfort, it was as if some kind of defense mechanism had been triggered, and a series of lightning bolts fell.

——Boom!
The clouds rolled in, and there was no sound except the thunder.
Never before had anyone seen such an unlucky creature willingly attracting lightning. Fiery white light flashed across the deck, illuminating the stunned faces of the surrounding crew. Ying: "."

Paimon: "."

Unlucky guy? Accident?

Really? Why do I feel like something's not right with this Inazuma journey right from the start? Is it too late to go back now?
After all, the coverage of thunderclouds is too wide, basically equivalent to ordinary lightning.

Although it still has great power, it is not difficult to deal with for Ying who has undergone a series of elemental power training.

But compared to direct physical damage, this inexplicable ominous premonition at this moment is more lethal.

"."

He sighed slightly. Although they were bathing in thunder and lightning, the two holding up the shield remained very calm.

Having experienced so many bad luck, he already had a mature process for dealing with similar situations. Ying waved to Beidou who was about to come to the rescue.
After a little thought, he threw the rice ball lying on Paimon directly onto him, intending to let the little guy who was not full yet take the opportunity to absorb some elemental power.

"Boom——"

Lightning struck in mid-air, forcing the "little lizard" who had not yet woken up to turn on its power.

???

It shook its tail and absorbed the remaining elemental power in its body, as if it had found a restaurant with unlimited refills. The rice ball, which was moving forward with the fleet, blinked in confusion and suddenly felt that the happiness in front of it was a little unreal.

"."

".On the bright side, I'll probably be able to save a lot of money on food these days."

"But if I wasn't so unlucky, then perhaps, perhaps this god wasn't very friendly towards beings tainted by the aura of the abyss."

I always feel that the word "danger" is already written all over my head, and the road ahead is dark, even though the country has not yet entered a stage of development.

But after all, I have already accepted the mission of the Ministry of Education, and I also troubled Captain Beidou to bring me here. Giving up is not in line with my style.
The action paused slightly, looking at the sailors around him with admiring expressions, as if they had seen a legend, the tired Ying sighed, and could only hope that after waiting for Inazuma, such a situation would not happen again.
A few days later, on the northwest side of Ming Shen Island, off the island.

After all, those thunderstorms only had set defense mechanisms but no will of their own. Although there were some minor incidents, the fleet finally arrived at its original destination.

The dark clouds dispersed, there was no more wind or waves, and the sea and sky were once again filled with blue and white.

They had never thought that a sunny day was so precious. Ying and Paimon breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no lightning chasing them.

They exchanged glances, and looking at a small lizard whose scales had turned a little purple, the blonde girl forced herself to comfort herself that it was just an accident caused by a misjudgment of the thunderstorm.

"."

The coast is getting closer and closer, and the port ahead is clearly visible.

As I prepared to disembark amid the sailors' excited calls, I saw from afar a beautiful island with a building style very different from Liyue and Mond, covered in crimson maple leaves even in spring.

Because of the unique charm of the exotic scenery itself, Ying and Paimon's mood also became much calmer.

".?"

I felt a familiar breath and looked back, and sure enough, I found Mr. Yuanshang who came here with me.

Thinking that they should formally say goodbye after traveling together, a white-haired ball floating in the air turned around and waved:
"Mr. Fuchigami, are you going to get off the boat too?"

"Well, the preliminary preparations are almost done, and I have to start my "work"."

Taking advantage of the time on the ship, the Abyss Cult did a lot of things on the island in advance.
Looking at the little yellow-haired boy in front of him who managed to save a lot of food expenses by finding joy in the midst of hardship, he had to say that he really admired his mentality.

"Well, I remember that you, Mr. Fuchigami, can leave the island normally, right?"

"We two don't have a 'pass' yet, so it might take some time before we can visit your dessert shop in Inazuma Castle."

Probably as a return gift for sharing food, I also ate some desserts given by others along the way.

Paimon still can't forget the taste, and he sincerely believes that if the other party opens a dessert shop, it will definitely be very popular no matter where it is.

"Don't worry, I have more important work to do. It will take some time to select a location and decorate the shop before it opens.
I'm not sure when it will open, so it won't be too late to visit when you two can go to Inazuma Castle."

Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand. In fact, he was not sure how long it would take for them to become wanted criminals.

But no matter what, by the time they can go to Inazuma Castle openly, their own "Fengshang Dessert House" will probably have almost recruited all the employees.

"Ha, then goodbye. I wish you two a safe journey."

"Consider this a friendly reminder from a local Inazuma. According to various Inazuma legends, while the Ogosho-sama is incredibly powerful and consistently victorious, he's not a deity known for his range of perception."

"Therefore, the Shogun, who sat in the castle tower and almost never went out, relied heavily on the reports of the three magistrates to understand the situation of the people."

"If you two wish to request an audience with the Grand Imperial Palace, you should pay close attention to the movements of the Three Magistrates. After all, they are the eyes and hands of the gods. If the Three Magistrates do not report, even the gods will have difficulty finding those in hiding."

???

"Thanks for the reminder, it seems like this is information only Inazuma locals would know."

Feeling that this friendly reminder was a bit strange, Paimon scratched his head and tentatively wrote down the information that "the God of Thunder's perception range is not very large."

"Oh, don't think too much about it. I'm just telling you that if you want to ask to see the Grand Imperial Palace, it's best to go through the channels of the Three Magistrates."

"—Goodbye, both of you. I hope to see you in Inazuma Castle soon."

He waved his hand, informed everyone in advance of how to avoid being caught, and officially ended the tutorial.

Finally arrived at this "eternal" kingdom of thunder,

Lin Feng turned around and left, looking at the Fatui who appeared on the street without restraint, and the officials who had completely different attitudes towards merchants and Fatui soldiers, who were arrogant at first and respectful later.

He shook his head and suddenly felt that in most cases it would be better to keep the Fatui locked up in jail.
