Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

"Wan Ye, what's going on? Su Zhe seems a bit off all of a sudden?"

Wan Ye gently shook his head.

he does not know.

But he could sense the approaching storm in the wind.

Something bad must have happened.

...

"Boss, it's almost time."

At the pier off the island, the Southern Cross fleet, already loaded with cargo, is about to set sail and leave.

The journey itself wasn't very long, only about two months, but Beidou is already eager to return home.

The little whale, the little whale she had her eye on, I wonder if Ningguang managed to snatch it away yet.

Sigh, that's how it is when you go into business; many times you have no choice in what you do.

Everyone in this fleet, big and small, depends on her for a living. Without going to sea, where would the money come from?

Upon hearing the first mate's words, she said, "Go and prepare for departure. I have some things to take care of."

After the first mate went to get busy, Beidou looked around and then strode towards the island.

Along the way, I saw many people from other countries, but most of them were businessmen, and I knew almost all of them.

After the lockdown order was issued, these merchants were unable to leave directly like others.

Many of them have been operating in Inazuma for a long time, and most of their wealth is here. If they suddenly say they want to leave, where can they go?

Moreover, some products are not suitable for long-term storage. Preservation is one issue, sales channels are another, and real estate cannot be liquidated in a short time. If they are forcibly moved, years of hard work will be destroyed.

Merchants who remained in Inazuma formed a federation called the "International Merchants Association" to protect their interests under the strict isolation order; in short, they banded together for mutual support.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the domineering nature of the Kanjeongbu (Imperial Enforcement Bureau).

The entire outlying island region is under the jurisdiction of the Kanjō Magistrate, and here, their word carries more weight than the laws of Inazuma.

Compared to these businessmen, Beidou was treated much better. She walked with her head held high, and people even greeted her from time to time. She smiled and waved back, as if she were back at home.

The samurai in charge of the investigation saw her but pretended not to see her. No matter what she did, there was only one order from above: do not cause trouble.

There are always some special methods involved, but for people like Beidou who spend a lot of time at sea around the world, it's not a difficult task.

"Sigh~ The people from the Kamisato family are really something. They actually think highly of me, taking a wanted criminal with them when Inazuma did."

If the people of the Heavenly Rank were to discover that she was doing such a thing, then there would be nowhere for her to go in Inazuma.

Huh? What happened to the Dragon King again?

Sorry, she doesn't have a crooked mouth.

Thinking this, Hokuto arrived at the pre-arranged place and met Yoomiya and Manyo who were waiting for him.

"Sister Beidou! Over here!"

Xiaogong exclaimed excitedly.

"If you want to attract those guys from the Heavenly Territory, speak louder, louder and they'll hear you."

"Hee hee~"

Xiaogong stuck out his tongue.

In front of Beidou, she is like a younger sister.

The Naganohara family's fireworks are sold overseas, but since the Inazuma Isolation Law, the transportation of fireworks has become less convenient. Hokuto frequently travels by ship, and as a result, their intimacy level has risen rapidly, and the situation is currently very favorable for Tachibana.

"Is this the kid?"

Beidou crossed her arms and sized up the short, stout man in front of her—a grown man who wasn't even as tall as her.

"Yes, his name is Wan Ye, he's my friend, Hokuto-neechan. I'll leave things to you from now on!"

"Hmph~ I'm just responsible for sending him to Liyue, but if this guy doesn't behave, then don't blame me."

"Don't worry, Wan Ye is a very nice person. By the way, he can also recite poetry. If you have the chance, ask him to recite a few poems for you on the ship!"

"No thanks. My boat is full of rough men, and so am I. I don't like anything too refined. Even though he looks so delicate, I wouldn't even bother to help me with the sails."

Manyo: "..."

Was he being subtly criticized?

Already lacking in talent, to be hit with this blow is just too much.

All the inspiration that was in the wind has vanished.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time and get going."

Beidou waved and said.

Her fleet has a limited time to stay here, and there will be fewer people here, making it a good time to escape.

"The magistrate of Tianling has already arrived on the island. The woman with the mask is discussing things at the Kansei Magistrate's Office. It is estimated that the island will be sealed off soon."

"Wait a minute, there's still one person who hasn't arrived!"

Xiaogong called out anxiously.

"There's someone else?" Beidou was taken aback. "Didn't you say it was just one person?"

"Anyway, there are two. Wait a moment."

Xiao Gong looked in the direction Su Zhe had left, and after watching for a while, he finally saw him return.

"Su Zhe! Hurry up!"

Su Zhe?

Beidou was a little confused. The name sounded like someone from Liyue, so how did he end up with Xiaogong and Manye?

Leaving aside Yomiya, Hokuto also knows about Manyo's affairs.

The rebels—everyone who has ever been to Inazuma knows them.

That's why it's strange. A Liyue person has a connection with the Inazuma rebels. Is this a setup for a heist?

On this side, Su Zhe used a little trick to get information about the stone from the two Fools.

He was right; the Fools had indeed discovered the stone and had pursued it all the way here.

Stone had even been captured once before, but later managed to escape.

As for where the stone has now escaped to Inazuma, the Fools have no idea yet.

But it's certain that Stone is in this area of ​​the sea, because he was seriously injured and couldn't have gone far.

Moreover, during the time he was captured, the Fatui doctor conducted experiments on him, and no matter how the stone tried to escape, it would always leave behind special elemental traces.

In short—the stone is in danger now.

"Su Zhe, hurry up, we're waiting for you."

Xiaogong waved to him.

"I'm sorry." Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing his anger. "You can take Wan Ye and leave first. I still have things to take care of."

"Not leaving?"

"Ah."

Beidou glanced at Su Zhe but didn't say anything. She and Su Zhe had only met for the first time and didn't have much of a relationship. Even if he wanted to leave, she might not be willing to take him with her.

If Xiaogong insists, there's nothing she can do, but since the other party won't leave, she can't just wait.

Go back sooner so we can find that little whale sooner.

"Take care of yourself."

Wan Ye said in a gentle voice.

"Ah."

Su Zhe took the protective charm out of his pocket and handed it to Wan Ye.

"Here, take this."

"what?"

“The person who gave it to me said it would bring good luck and ward off evil spirits, but I don’t need it anymore.”

After saying that, Su Zhe turned and left.

"What... happened to him?"

Although Xiaogong seems a bit eccentric on the surface, making fireworks is a meticulous task, and she keenly noticed that Su Zhe was a little different than before.

"The wind has changed."

Holding the amulet, Manyo calmly gazed at the sky above Inazuma and said slowly, "Perhaps, the sky is about to change."

...

wow~~

Located in the sea east of Tabusa, near the factory area where the Mikage furnace core is located.

Because of the damage to the Mikage's furnace core, this place has been corrupted by the spreading evil spirit power.

As the core device driving the remnants of the demon god, the Mikage Furnace is now malfunctioning, and the entire smelting plant is naturally unable to continue operating.

Furthermore, since the technicians from Fontaine who originally collaborated on the manufacturing had left, the shogunate was unable to carry out repairs, so the project had to be temporarily shelved.

The shrine maiden of Narukami Shrine suggested that the shogunate arrange for the workers to evacuate directly and abandon the factory, because given the current situation in Inazuma, the technicians from Fontaine might not be willing to come, and once Mikage's Roshin erupts, its influence will cover the entire island.

Chapter 5: A colossal beast appears, unleashing a brutal massacre; Inazuma is shocked! >>

When the evil spirits begin to corrupt, ordinary people caught in the crossfire will face a near-certain death.

Unfortunately, the samurai stationed there did not do so; they needed to 'report' and wait for orders from above.

But the magistrate of Tianling is busy right now. He's busy maintaining order here, dealing with the rebels there, and now he's busy apprehending criminals who have offended the general. By the time he finally has time to go through all the approvals, the sandstorm might have already exploded.

At this moment.
