"Sigh, don't even mention it. In the end, he still found out. It's really strange. He doesn't usually drink, so why would he go and check the wine cellar? Is this the power of a prophet?"

Luckily, I had anticipated this and brought Zhongli along, hehehe, in the end the bill was delivered to the Northern Bank.

Chapter 205 The Void of Thought

After dealing with the ronin samurai's problem, the traveler went back to Xin Hai, who decided to give the traveler some rewards.

However, there are some difficulties. Promotion is not an option, since the traveler has only just become the captain. Increasing rations is also difficult, because Haizhi Island is not wealthy to begin with. If things continue like this, we will have to give ourselves as rewards to the traveler.

Although the rewards are a bit hard to come by, Xin Hai still has to continue assigning tasks to travelers. After all, the rebels don't have enough manpower, and they might as well risk their own lives.

This mission involves dealing with the Demon God Ruins, which is located at the transit point between the Haiqi Island camp and the Qinglai Island camp. Transported supplies often disappear here.

Xin Hai sent people to investigate, but they found nothing. Now, he can only entrust the more experienced traveler to investigate again.

Xin Hai probably sensed the Traveler's "Conan-like" nature; nothing happened when others went, but something was bound to happen when the Traveler went.

Before setting off on the investigation, the traveler went to see Zheping, who had just returned from a mission.

Teppei told the Traveler some good news: he had also been promoted and become the captain of the Herring Squad 1.

He is managing his team members using the military tactics he learned from novels.

However, his health seemed to have deteriorated. Although he spoke with great enthusiasm, he would cough from time to time.

It wasn't obvious, and even Teppei in real life didn't notice. He was just overjoyed that he had finally become the captain!

This isn't just any ordinary squad, but a newly formed special squad! My chance to make a name for myself has arrived!

As for other readers, most of them are not very optimistic about him.

Putting aside the fact that Teppei's strength was not strong enough to be a member of a special squad, let alone a captain.

It's absurd that he learned his management methods from novels.

I've also read "Reincarnated as a Thunder General and Become Invincible," so can I sit in the general's position for a couple of days?

Even within the resistance, those who knew Teppei were wondering: Teppei is a good person, but can he really be the leader of a special squad?

I don't know if Zhe Pingxing is good or not, but the Traveler is pretty good. She has already set off to solve the Heart Sea's mission.

During the Traveler's investigation and decryption, a Chuchuraheid was attracted, but unfortunately it was no match for the Traveler and could only return to the Leyland in frustration.

After the Traveler dealt with Raichu, Teppei arrived.

He came to help after hearing about the commotion, hoping to become a hero.

But when he arrived, he was surprised to find that the person in trouble was none other than the hero who had saved him.

Teppei and Ying explained the origin of this place: "It's near the remains of the demon god Orobas, so the aura of the evil spirit is quite strong here."

Paimon asked in confusion, "The Demon God Orobas, that's...?"

[Zheping pointed to the huge snake skeleton not far away, "Those are the remains left by Orobas."]

"It was Orobas who brought our ancestors from the Abyss Palace to the surface, which is how we came to have the island we know today."

"Our ancestors always regarded it as their guardian deity, but during the Demon God War, Orobas invaded Hachiyun Island."

"General Raiden personally arrived and slew him with 'The Strike of No Thought.' That strike also became the 'Strike of No Thought'."

"After Orobas' death, there were many disagreements between Umijima and the Shogunate. But this time, the resistance army was formed not for faith, but solely to oppose the Eye-Hunting Edict."

Inatsume pondered Teppei's words; they had always been dissatisfied with Umijima.

Now, the people of Haizhi Island are even more dissatisfied with the resistance against General Raiden, but this time the resistance seems to be truly motivated by 'righteousness'.

Unfortunately, this "righteous cause" was personally given to them by the general, so they no longer had the upper hand in the verbal battle.

Those outside of Inazuma focus on "Musou's One-Sword Technique" and "Musou's Blade Crossing".

Not everyone in the world knows about this, and now everyone is amazed by Thor's feat.

No wonder Manyo's story describes the power of facing thunder as so terrifying.

I used to think there was nothing to be afraid of in a clap of thunder, but now I realize that even an island couldn't withstand such a thunderbolt.

A demon god, along with the island, was cleaved in two by Thor's blade. What terrifying power that must have been!

It's worth noting that Liyue mobilized an immense amount of combat power to reseal Osel back into the seabed.

Now I know how much courage it took for Manyo's friend to face the might of thunder; no wonder he was able to obtain the Eye of God.

Knowing the power of Thor, they still dared to defy the gods, and in this respect, the resistance forces on Haiqi Island are indeed worthy of recognition.

But then again, the wind god flattens mountains and stops the wind and snow, the rock god creates islands and erects high mountains, and the thunder god cuts down demons and splits islands.

You are all truly talented individuals. What amazing feats will the gods accomplish next?

As the 'god behind', Funina's mouth dropped open.

You three gods have elevated the status of God to such an extreme that it's difficult for me to back down.

Would it be considered divine power for me to demonstrate how to eat a small cake in one bite? Most people couldn't do that!

Nasita didn't think that much about it. In any case, she didn't consider herself a powerful demon god, and she didn't intend to compete with the three seniors anyway, so she had already tacitly admitted defeat.

She is a god herself, so she doesn't need to prove herself through this. Funina is not a god, which is why she feels guilty and wants to prove herself.

In some ways, Nasita and Rae's films are quite similar, for example, they both "lock themselves up".

One is proactive, and the other is reactive.

Then Lei, who deliberately locked himself up, thought he knew everything and was a genius!

Nasita, who was locked up, felt that she knew too little and was an idiot!

But in fact, Lei knew very little about the film, while Nasida knew a lot.

The same applies now; Nasita is trying her best to absorb everything from the outside world, while Ray Movie is rejecting everything from the outside world.

However, they also have something in common: they are both goddesses and both love desserts.

Perhaps because they have suffered for five hundred years, they have developed a sweet tooth, and Fu Ningna is no exception.

Returning to the story, after the traveler resolved the problem and returned to find Xin Hai, the resistance encountered new issues.

The traveler truly became like Conan, causing trouble wherever he went.

The problem this time is the 'Evil Eye,' which has appeared in large numbers within the resistance.

The Evil Eye can enhance the resistance's combat power, but at the cost of life force. Overuse will shorten lifespan and lead to death, so the Heart Sea naturally will not allow it.

The fact that the Fools are able to produce so many Evil Eyes in Inazuma means they must have local forces supporting them, so to stop the Fools, we must first find their 'factory'.

"You mean him? As a strategist, the last enemy I want to encounter is someone like him, because he can predict all my plans. Luckily, we're not enemies."

Chapter 206 Evil Eye Factory

Fortunately, Xin Hai had already deduced the location of the Evil Eye Factory through his analysis.

At this moment, the traveler remembered Zheping's strange behavior; his health was deteriorating, he was coughing constantly, and his hair seemed to be turning gray.

Don't these behaviors exactly match the effects of using the Evil Eye? Could it be that...?

They rushed to find Zheping, and sure enough, Zheping was already weak and slumped on the ground, powerless.

[Teppei's voice was weak: "Wait a minute, let me stand up... Strange, I feel like I have no strength..."]

When asked by the traveler, Zheping recounted his experiences over the past period.

Naval battles against the shogunate army, fighting shogunate samurai alone, and rescuing trapped comrades were all achievements he never dared to dream of before.

All of this is thanks to his recently acquired 'secret weapon'.

[The traveler asked seriously, "When did you start using that thing?"]

[Then, with a hint of reluctance, he continued, "It will drain the user's life force."]

[Zheping remained silent, but not with fear, only with a sigh. He murmured, "What a pity. I thought I was going to catch up with you... Haha..."]

He also felt that his recent behavior had finally allowed him to get closer to his friends.

"I guess I wasn't being watched by the gods after all..."

Teppei's breath grew weaker and weaker, and the traveler knew that Teppei's days were numbered.

Pantalone still had a smile on his face when he saw this, 'not being watched by the gods,' and so did he.

Like Teppei, he also wanted to prove himself, but he was even more capable. What he wanted to prove was that the gods who looked down on him were wrong!

So he used his own methods and wisdom to 'challenge' the God of Precious Metal!

He wasn't particularly moved by Teppei's plight. The Evil Eye was a special supply for the Fatui, whose soldiers were always prepared to sacrifice their lives for the Empress's cause.

Providing the rebels with money, food, and evil eyes was entirely intended to help them withstand the shogunate army's attack, so that the Inazuma clan could easily take advantage of the chaos.

Ke Qing shook her head and sighed. She did not approve of Zhe Ping's ideas and actions, but she said nothing.

As someone 'watched by the gods,' she knew that anything she said at this moment would sound like a well-fed man not knowing the hunger of a starving man.

Wendy, on the contrary, wanted to say, how could the gods not be watching you? It's just that the gods' gaze has nothing to do with the Eye of God.

The gods watch over each of their people, their ancestors from thousands of years ago, and their descendants from thousands of years later. The gods see all of this.

Wendy remembers everyone's name in Mondstadt, knows their stories, and watches their fate unfold.

Zhongli was the same; he engraved everything about Liyue over the past thousands of years in his heart.

Even when trapped, Nasita did her best to watch over and help her people.

No god would fail to watch over its subjects... except for the current Shadow Treasure, she no longer even watches over herself.

Yingbao may not be paying attention to her people right now, but she absolutely loves them, that's beyond doubt.

This passage evokes a subtle feeling for ordinary people; it's probably the feeling of losing a familiar person.

She wasn't too upset, but the thought of never meeting this person named Zheping again brought a touch of sadness.

It's a mild emotion, but you only feel sad when you think about it carefully.

In real life, Zheping also saw this, and felt a mix of emotions.

At this point, he felt that being able to see through his own fate might not necessarily be a good thing.

The Evil Eye will allow him to achieve great things and fulfill his long-held fantasies.

But at the same time, the Evil Eye will also take his life, granting him power and honor, but not giving him time to enjoy it all.

The Evil Eye fulfilled Teppei's dream, so even knowing the future, Teppei couldn't guarantee he wouldn't use the Evil Eye.

“Fools…” Xin Hai frowned slightly.

Although death is inevitable on the battlefield, anyone can die.

From a war perspective, it's not unforgivable that the Fools provided them with Evil Eyes; Evil Eyes can indeed be considered a battlefield resource.

However, Xin Hai would not allow his subordinates to use such life-consuming items to enhance their combat power.

Moreover, the Fools provided it secretly, without explaining the side effects.

This is clearly wrong; it's deception, and deception that could lead to death.

So the traveler in the story was very angry and wanted to destroy the Fools' factory.

The traveler in the book returns to find the Sea of ​​the Heart and successfully completes his three visits to the Coral Palace.

Xin Hai has already confiscated the Evil Eye from the army. Goro says that the soldiers are making a huge fuss, and even though they know the Evil Eye is problematic, they still have to use it.

This is the allure of power, which many people cannot resist, because it can make things that were previously unattainable almost within reach.

This shows that even if the Fools had explained the side effects from the beginning, the resistance's use of the Evil Eye wouldn't have decreased much.
