Genshin Impact: My confession was rejected, so I traveled to seven countries
Chapter 8 Inazuma City
The big ship sailed slowly on the sea.
Su Mo looked into the distance, his gaze penetrating the distant mist and fixed on a city full of mystery - Inazuma City.
Purple tones are lightly painted across the city's outline, giving it a dreamy atmosphere.
The two-month journey was full of hardships and expectations, and now, we have finally arrived at our destination.
Su Mo stood on this land, feeling the atmosphere of the city. The sea breeze blew gently, bringing the salty taste of the ocean and the fragrance of cherry blossoms, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"Su Mo"
Su Mo heard someone calling his name, turned around, and found that it was Beidou walking towards him.
"Captain Beidou, do you have something to talk to me about?" Su Mo asked.
"Su Mo, be careful on your journey. There are rumors that things are getting a little uneasy in Inazuma recently." Beidou reminded seriously.
"Captain Beidou, don't worry, I will be careful." Su Mo replied, expressing his gratitude for Beidou's concern.
"Ah That's good."
"My ship will be anchored in the port for half a month. If you encounter any trouble, you can always come to me." At this point, Beidou's tone suddenly became more teasing as he looked at Su Mo, "After all... you came to Inazuma on my ship. If anything happens to you, Keqing and Ningguang will not let me go easily!"
?
I know Keqing, but what the hell is Ningguang? Besides work, I've only met Ningguang a few times, and we haven't exchanged a single word, right? Su Mo thought to himself.
Su Mo patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, even if something really happens, I will definitely be able to escape danger with my luck!"
Beidou smiled and nodded, "Okay! Then I'll leave first, see you later!" Then he walked towards the boat.
After Su Mo said goodbye to Beidou, he walked towards Inazuma City. As he went deeper into the city, his eyes were attracted by the unique scenery around him.
On both sides of the streets of Inazuma Castle stand various shops and stalls, with vendors hawking their wares enthusiastically. On the streets, people dressed in various traditional costumes come and go, some in a hurry.
A geisha walked gracefully, her kimono embroidered with exquisite patterns; a group of children chased and played in the square, their laughter crisp and pleasant; an old man leisurely sipped tea in front of a teahouse, his eyes revealing the accumulation of years.
Su Mo stood on the streets of Inazuma City and looked around. The scene before him was one of prosperity and peace. The smiling faces of the people, the bustling market, the harmonious rhythm of life, all of this seemed so ordinary, in stark contrast to the "unpeaceful" situation that Beidou had described.
He couldn't help but wonder, was there an error in Beidou's intelligence, or were there some unknown secrets hidden beneath the surface of this city?
Su Mo knew that sometimes, appearances might conceal the truth, and the truth was often much more complicated than it seemed.
I hope Beidou is wrong. He doesn't want to be involved in endless and complicated disputes.
The most urgent thing is to find a hotel to settle down.
Just as Su Mo was lost in thought, a burst of angry shouts came from the front, "Stop! Don't move!" Two soldiers in military uniforms approached him aggressively, their eyes cold and the weapons in their hands flashed coldly in the sunlight.
"According to reports from the masses, you are a spy for the Winter Kingdom's Fatui. Come with us!"
Su Mo instantly smelled the scent of conspiracy
"Hmm? Is there some misunderstanding? I'm just a traveler from Liyue. I just landed. How could I be a spy for the Fatui?"
"We've received a report. You'd better cooperate with our investigation! Otherwise... don't blame us for being rude!"
Su Mo's eyes were fixed on the two soldiers in front of him. His intuition told him that he was being watched. It was possible that they had been watching him since he came ashore, or even before!
Su Mo's right hand quietly reached behind him, and his fingertips touched the dagger that had always been with him. He considered whether to use force to solve the current dilemma.
He knew that drawing his sword would mean a direct confrontation with the Inazuma Castle soldiers, which would not only put him in greater danger but also make it more difficult to prove his innocence. If he didn't draw his sword, would he just be taken away?
Just as he was quickly weighing the pros and cons, considering whether to use force to resolve the current dilemma, a firm and powerful voice rang out: "Please wait!"
It's him……
Su Mo looked at the person who came and immediately understood everything.
The person who came was none other than Thomas, the bodyguard of the Kamisato family. With short yellow hair, two small horns on his head and his slightly arrogant temperament, he looked like a local gangster.
"Brothers, please wait a moment. I know this man. He's my friend. He just arrived at Inazuma and may have caused trouble. I hope you can let him go."
"The rules followed by Tianling cannot be trampled upon!" someone said coldly.
"Hehe, brother, you are the Tenryo Bugyo and I am the Shrine Bugyo. We are all family. Besides, Lord Kamisato also has a certain relationship with this person. If you can do me a favor, it will be good for both of us." Thomas took out the token of the Shrine Bugyo's retainer as proof.
"This..." The two looked at each other in confusion, their faces showing embarrassment.
"Hahaha, we are all friends, let me give you a favor..." Thomas approached the man quietly and handed him some Mora, with an unspoken understanding in his eyes.
The two took Mora and coughed lightly. "Since she's Kamisato-sama's friend, then it must be a misunderstanding... Let's forget it this time, but next time..."
"I understand, I understand. Come over for tea some other day, brother!"
Thomas then looked Su Mo up and down, then said:
"Hello, my name is Thomas, and I'm the local boss here."
"Hello, I'm Su Mo."
"Hmm...Su Mo, what a good name!"
"Well, Thomas, thank you for what you did just now."
Thomas smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay. After all, I'm the local boss here. I feel ashamed when something like this happens in my territory."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Su Mo, what are your plans next? Are you going to find a hotel to stay in, or try to find another way out?"
"I just arrived in Inazuma. It's not my style to run away when I encounter a little trouble. So I plan to find a hotel first and make plans later."
"Oh!? That's an idea! I've decided to make you my friend. Come on, as the boss of this area, it will be easy for me to take you to find a hotel with a reasonable price and comfortable environment." Thomas put his arm on Su Mo's shoulder.
Su Mo was not polite either. "That's great. I was just worried that I didn't have anyone to go with me."
"Haha, don't worry, come with me, I promise you will be satisfied with this place." Thomas patted Su Mo's back confidently and led him to a nearby hotel.
On the way to the inn, Thomas saw Su Mo dressed in Liyue clothes and asked, "Looking at the way Su Mo is dressed, he must be from Liyue, right? Why did you come to Inazuma?"
"It's not a big deal, really. I just feel like life is short, so I'd rather enjoy it while I can and travel a bit."
Thomas grinned. "Oh? Brother Su is so young and has realized the meaning of life. It's really a cause for celebration."
Su Mo waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. I just came to Inazuma and don't know the current rules and regulations of Inazuma. There are many things that may need to be troubled by Brother Thomas."
"Okay, okay, Brother Su, you can stay here for the next few days. I'll take you to visit Inazuma someday when I have time!"
A smile flashed in Su Mo's eyes. "In that case, I'll have to trouble Brother Thomas!"
