Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Cong Yu was probably experiencing a similar revelation at this moment, as he had seen words with similar pronunciations to "ruins" all morning.

　Whether it's news articles, advertising signs, or even the wishes expressed on ema (votive plaques) hanging on trees, it's all the same...

　Finally, the Pirate Queen actually sent a message in the group chat, saying that she had found the ruins of a god...

　It was as if it were telling Cong Yu—

　Just like saying, "This site is very important."

　Is being deeply immersed in revelations a good thing or a bad thing? Is it a trap or a change that benefits humanity?

　Cong Yu wasn't quite sure, but judging from Moira's silence during this period, perhaps this was something Moira had been holding back.

　But the problem is...

　Even if Cong Yu felt there was a 70% chance it was the former, he still couldn't ignore this revelation.

　Even if it means I might die.

　"..." Yes, Cong Yu was starting to lose confidence...

　If this is a trap set by Moirai, who has already figured out how to see through his schemes, then it's really not a good thing.

　Cong Yu's previous actions and designs had mostly benefited from their high mobility and "invisibility."

　Moreover, rather than actually gaining an advantage, it's more accurate to say that they repeatedly thwarted Moira's efforts.

　It was simply a case of "returning empty-handed".

　Cong Yu believed that if he were Moirai, he would have at least 100 four-winged and six-winged angels ganging up on him.

　In that case, even getting into the Jehovah's train would be difficult for Cong Yu... not to mention that God might have a countermeasure.

　Anyway, Cong Yu will definitely be determined when the time comes, and she will blur into nothingness whenever she encounters something. She will frantically click the blur button.

　I shouldn't get instantly killed... right?

　With this in mind, Cong Yu finished her dinner as usual, said "I'm going out," and left home.

　Cong Yu was mentally prepared that "this trip might be dangerous." But there was no need to tell everyone about this preparation.

　In any case, he couldn't possibly take Yaochuan Guang and the others there on his own initiative...

　That would be far too dangerous.

　This time, unlike before, it wasn't a trip to China, Mexico, or the Vatican...

　Instead, they're going to the Pacific Ocean.

　Go to the so-called relics of the gods.

　"..."

　"..." After walking a short distance, Cong Yu stopped and asked helplessly, "Lan Tianzhu, do you want to go or not?"

　If you want to go with Cong Yu, you should call out to her quickly. Otherwise, Cong Yu might just disappear at any moment.

　But if she doesn't want to go...

　There's no need to secretly follow behind then.

　As for Cong Yu's words, Lan Tianzhu's voice sounded a little muffled: "Cong Yu, don't turn around, it's me, Xiao Guang."

　I'd be a fool to believe you!

　Cong Yu turned around and looked at the blue-haired girl standing behind her, who looked relaxed and casual: "So, do you want to come along?"

　Lan Tianzhu, who had been standing there lazily, clearly had the same reason for coming out: "Yeah, we all heard your phone call earlier... things like 'board the ship,' 'departure,' and 'trap.'"

　"Plus, you seemed quite worried when you went out this time, which was actually quite obvious."

　As Lan Tianzhu said this, yawning, she simply said, "But Xiao Guang is too stupid, Xiao Cui is too obedient, and Hong trusts you too much... so none of them have the idea of ​​traveling with you."

　Yao Chuanguang did not notice the low pressure in Cong Yu's voice when she left home;

　Xiao Cui is a good girl and has no intention of changing Cong Yu's mind to set off alone;

　Hong never considered the possibility that Cong Yu "would not be able to return safely" or "would not be able to solve the problem."

　Only Lan Tianzhu followed, expressing her desire to act alongside Cong Yu this time...

　But... was I really that obvious?

　Cong Yu couldn't help but think this.

　"..." Seeing Cong Yu deep in thought, Lan Tianzhu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I am also very useful."

　Hmm? What's it for?

　This operation is mainly about exploring the ruins. Having you, the big bomber, go there might actually have the opposite effect…

　This event is also recorded in the Mysterious Sea and in Tomb Raider.

　As Cong Yu pondered, Lan Tianzhu

　Her expression remained calm: "I heard that sailors used to bring sheep with them when they went on board."

　Okay, stop talking.

　Cong Yu waved her hand silently, fully aware of what Lan Tianzhu was about to say: "I didn't say I wouldn't take you..."

　"Also, don't generalize from a single case."

　As Cong Yu spoke, she rubbed her temples, which were starting to ache. "Did you know that sailors used to bring rams in addition to ewes?"

　Upon hearing this, Lan Tianzhu's expression became even more peculiar.

　What? She really didn't know that!

　Under Lan Tianzhu's gaze, Cong Yu shook his head and summoned the Jormungandr train... Why is Lan Tianzhu's mind full of yellow rubbish?

　Or was this just her normal performance?

　With this thought in mind, Cong Yu wanted to kick Lan Tianzhu into the train. But in the end, she patted Lan Tianzhu's butt and shooed her into the train entrance.

　Just like the sailors of the past, laughing as they herded the little ewe onto the ship.

　Otherwise, she would have been standing outside, staring blankly at the gaping maw of a snake for a few seconds...

　"In the past, hot food was rare on board. Fuel was precious, and hot food was only served at the communal meals after each resupply."

　"Of course, the captain and other high-ranking people get to eat hot food every day..."

　"But the staple foods are still the same: biscuits and bread that are likely infested with maggots, dried meat, fish, and rum that have no meat flavor at all."

　"If there's no fish season and we run out of dried meat, then we'll just have to eat dry rations with rum..."

　"Under such circumstances, with the mainstream ships gradually evolving into medium and large-sized vessels, it is easy to understand why chickens and sheep would be brought on board."

　Lan Tianzhu's eyes flickered with doubt at Cong Yu's words: "I see. The marketing account I saw said that bringing a sheep on board is for..."

　As he said this, Lan Tianzhu stood up from his seat and thrust his hips back and forth a few times... That's way too low.

　"You know those are marketing accounts... but what they say isn't entirely untrue, it's just that 'all of them are like that.'"

　As Cong Yu spoke, she felt a sense of感慨 (gǎn kǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions or reflections) as the Jormungandr train entered its accelerated mode, experiencing a slight jolt.

　"However, in reality, it's mostly for food considerations, and also... when we encounter a deserted island, we'll release two male and two female sheep so that the sheep have a chance to reproduce and thrive on the deserted island."

　"Whether it's to pass it on to future humans who come to the deserted island, or to give them a chance to get supplies on their return journey..."

　"In short, it's an act of 'thinking about the future.'"

　Cong Yu said this, gently tapping Lan Tianzhu's forehead a few times: "Human beings are a kind of life that looks to the future in the long term."

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "???"

　Lan Tianzhu, who was about to unpack the pudding, was a little puzzled.

　So what if it is? Why did you tap my forehead?

　Seeing the protest in Lan Tianzhu's eyes, Cong Yu reminded him, "We're almost there, stop eating... Didn't we just have dinner?"

　I did just eat it, but Lantianzhu really wants to eat pudding right now.

　So she tore open the packaging anyway, gulped down the coffee pudding, and mumbled, "So fast..."

　If her senses are correct, it should have been less than five minutes since she came up here...

　So, is the destination not far this time?

　Lan Tianzhu thought to herself, then followed Cong Yu, who had stood up, out of the Jormungandr train and immediately stepped onto the deck.

　A sea breeze suddenly blew over...

　Feeling the slightly swaying deck beneath my feet, I looked out at the blue sky and saw the boundless sea.

　Of course, there's also the blue sky that merges with the sea, and the white clouds in the blue sky... like sheep.

　By the way, there are both males and females.

　Wow! It's the ocean! How refreshing! If Xiao Guang finds out later, he'll definitely regret not coming along.

　Thinking this, Nagisa looked around at the crew members who seemed quite active... Sailors also have males and females.

　However, whether it was Lan Tianzhu's imagination or not, she always felt that the bodies of these crew members were somewhat ethereal... especially their lower bodies.

　Lan Tianzhu thought to herself as she observed those laughing and waving, welcoming her and Cong Yu's crew.

　I noticed some of the crew members had seaweed clinging to them.

　"..." No! That's not right! It's not my imagination, these crew members' bodies are definitely somewhat transparent... They look like ghosts! A ghost ship!

　Blue Sky Nagisa, who was "a little" afraid of ghosts and spirits, turned pale on the spot and couldn't help but look in the direction of Murasame.

　At that very moment, Cong Yu was talking to a stylish female crew member with long, wine-red hair.

　No, Lan Tianzhu knows this female crew member.

　Nina Edward, the Pirate King, one of the Thirteen Kings (now the Fourteenth).

　However, perhaps it's because I didn't pay attention to it before...

　The moment Lan Tianzhu saw the other party in person, his gaze was fixed on the pirate king's chest.

　While pondering, Lan Tianzhu looked down at his chest again before turning his gaze back.

　Isn't this difference too big?

　……

　sheep.

　It is still because

　Because of her previous conversation with Cong Yu, she was now thinking of sheep again...

　On the pirate king's chest are two soft, large sheep.

　Chapter 784 Relics and Poetry

　Nina Edwards.

　This eccentric king, who has been active since the 14th century, controls a highly maneuverable ghost ship that can go anywhere, whether in the sky or on the ground.

　She named it the Drake.

　In fact, the Pirate King met Murasame earlier than the Snow Woman, but later than the Saint King.

　After leaving Britain, when Cong Yu was preparing to drift around the world, she saw this pirate king near the port.

　Back then, protected by countless ghost crew members, she made everyone on the street shun her...

　Cong Yu was watching it in a roadside tavern at that time.

　It was only a brief encounter.

　The formal acquaintance began when I had mastered the Jormungandr train and started making friends all over the world.

　What to say?

　In short...

　"He served as a secretary on her ship for a while."

　Cong Yu summarized it this way, eating the standard voyage fruit—oranges—and said, "Should I call him the secretary? Or the navigator?"

　Lantianzhu felt that she was gradually beginning to understand Congyu... It turned out that Congyu really was an old thing!
