"With this achievement, I can be promoted and transferred back to Winter Solstice, and you can then be promoted to the head of the Inazuma Faint People's intelligence agency. However, my promotion requires some negotiation with the higher-ups, as you should understand."
Having said that, Ueno Chiki understood what this guy meant. He turned around, spread out his mat, and grabbed his last purse.
"Sir, this is my last savings, that's all."
But when Doc received the money bag, his face was full of disappointment. This amount of money was not enough for him to go to a bubble bath, but it was better than nothing. Soon, he would return to winter, and he would get as much as he could.
"Code name 9527, wait for my good news, bye."
After getting the purse, Ke Duoke left quickly without any reluctance.
Looking at Kodok's departing back, Ueno Chiki was extremely speechless.
The original body joined the Fatui intelligence agency because the job was high-paying and easy, and he had even received a salary before. But how come when it came to me, not only did I not get any salary, but I also had to work at my own expense.
It's true that things in this world are unpredictable and everything changes.
……
The next day.
It was not until the scorching light shone through the window onto Ueno Chiki's face that he slowly woke up.
He yawned and stretched comfortably.
Cool!
In his previous life, because he was worried about the performance of his novel, he went to bed late and woke up early every day, which caused him to be under great psychological pressure.
Now that he's here, he finally doesn't have to worry so much.
When I opened the door, I saw the fruits and vegetables in front of the door growing lushly. I believe they will be ready to eat soon, and the wild flowers planted there are in bud, creating a leisurely and beautiful rural scenery.
After washing up, he went to a small river not far away and fetched a bucket of water with the bucket he bought yesterday. He prepared to water the fields in front of the door and then prepare lunch.
When he returned home with the bucket full of water, he found a red figure standing in front of the door.
Ueno Chiki really wanted to turn around and leave. He really didn't want to face the girl in front of him again. Every time they met, the despair and sadness when his original confession was rejected would surge into his heart, making him very uncomfortable.
But this is his home, where else can he go?
After calming down the negative emotions that were welling up in his heart, he walked forward.
"Brother Qianshu, are you living in such a simple house now? You used to live in a luxurious house in the city."
Seeing him fall into such a situation, Xiao Gong was very sad, and at the same time she felt even more guilty towards Ueno Chiki. She knew the reason very well.
Ueno Chiki was overwhelmed when he saw tears glistening in her eyes. "It's too noisy in the city. It's quiet and natural here. Don't be so self-indulgent! I spent the money from the sale of the house on a life of luxury."
It would have been better if he hadn't said that. The more he said that, the more uncomfortable Xiao Gong felt, and tears flowed down her face like a dam bursting.
He was at a loss as to what to do, so he just stood there and repeated nonsense like "Don't cry" and "Don't be sad".
After a long time, Xiao Gong finally stopped crying. She wiped her tears and snot with her hands and said seriously, "Brother Qianshu, please come and live at my house."
When a girl invites you to live at her house, there is actually a deeper meaning behind it, which means that she has accepted you.
If it was the old Ueno Chiki, he would have been overjoyed and agreed immediately. But the current Ueno Chiki has no nostalgia for the past that does not belong to him.
"No, I live well here. And your place is not very convenient either."
Xiao Gong was not stupid, so he naturally understood what he meant. His face was gloomy, "Brother Qianshu, can we really not go back to the past?"
"Some things are like fireworks, they bloom and then disappear without a trace."
After saying that, Ueno Chiki ignored her and went back to watering the plants, chopping wood, and cooking.
She has her own world, and there are travelers in her future world. I am just a passer-by in her life.
Chapter 21 Coral Palace's Heart Sea's Conspiracy
Haizhi Island, Coral Palace.
A quiet and calm girl was sitting in front of a low seat, quietly reading a novel with a bright cover.
She was wearing a sea-blue witch costume, with a slender and tall figure, a thin waist and a perky butt, and her flawless white legs were tightly wrapped in a pair of holy white stockings.
Perhaps the content of the novel had such a huge impact on her that her breathing became rapid and her entire face turned pink.
She felt a little hot all over and closed the novel. If she continued reading, she felt that she would become unclean.
However, the author of this novel has great literary talent. He describes those scenes very vividly and the characterization of the heroine is also very successful.
I am obviously a girl, but I still can't help wanting something to happen between me and the heroine.
In addition, what interested her more was the information about the Fatui executives, such as the Fool who controlled the overall situation, the perverted doctor, the mysterious girl, the hypocritical rooster...
There is also the purpose of the Fatui's actions, which is to realize the supreme ideals of Her Majesty the Queen of Winter.
As to what that ideal is, the book does not make it clear.
Coral Palace Xinhai has his own inference. If nothing unexpected happens, the Queen’s ideal is to overthrow the laws of nature.
For this reason, the Fatui need to accumulate more strength for Her Majesty the Queen.
At this time, the dignified priestess Mochizuki walked in.
"Master Coral Palace, the incident of the destruction of the town objects on Bayun Island has been investigated."
"Oh?" Coral Palace Xinhai raised his eyebrows, "Who did this?"
"It was done by the captain of the rebel army, the Herring Squadron 1, Nathan. He told his team that as long as they destroyed these talismans, the power of the Sea God would be released and bless them, thus allowing them to defeat the shogunate army. Under his leadership, all members of the Herring Squadron 1 participated in this operation and destroyed all the talismans on Yabu Island."
"boom!"
In a rage, Coral Palace Xinhai slammed the low seat hard, causing a loud bang.
This scared Wangyue. In her impression, Coral Palace Xinhai always had a peaceful smile on his face and had never been so angry.
In fact, it is no wonder that Xinhai of the Coral Palace is so angry. The act of destroying the town objects of Bayun Island is really too stupid.
Ever since Kaiji Daimikoto died in battle, his remains turned into an evil spirit. The strange aura it exuded affected the residents of Bayun Island, causing many people to fall ill and become mentally ill.
Later, the chief priest of Narujin Taisha Shrine personally set up talismans on the island to pacify the evil spirit, and the people of Yamashima were able to live in peace.
Now that the talisman has been destroyed, the evil spirit on Bayun Island has erupted again, and it is filled with ominousness everywhere. The originally livable Bayun Island is now completely uninhabitable.
The land that countless soldiers on the front line exchanged for with their lives and blood is of no value at all!
Even if all the members of Herring Ichiban were hanged, they could not wash away their sins.
"Have you checked the specific information of Captain Nathan of Herring Ichiban?"
"Master Coral Palace, I have checked. Three years ago, he claimed to be a Mondist. Because he agreed with and recognized the rebellious spirit of the Kaijima resistance army, he actively wanted to join them. After joining, he repeatedly made military achievements in the battles with the shogunate army, and was later promoted to the captain of the Herring First Division."
After listening to this, Coral Palace Xinhai, who had calmed down a little, fell into deep thought.
Her eyes fell on the novel on the low seat, and suddenly she thought of something and clenched her fists unconsciously.
"Fools!" She uttered these three words through gritted teeth.
Wang Yue, who was sitting opposite her, also reacted. "Master Coral Palace, are you saying that Nathan is a spy of the Fatui lurking in the resistance forces of Haizhi Island?"
Coral Palace Xinhai nodded vigorously. "The Fatui's goal has always been to mess up Inazuma and take advantage of the situation. Now they are cooperating with us while sending spies to the resistance to stir up trouble."
"Then we should lock up all the spies like Nathan in the dark cell now!" Mochizuki's tone was full of ruthlessness.
The most severe punishment on Haizhi Island is to be locked up in a dark cell. It is pitch black inside, with water level up to the chest, and the life of the people locked up there is worse than death. This cell is used specifically to punish traitors and heinous criminals on Haizhi Island.
"No, we are still cooperating with the Fatui, so we should not break up with them for now. As for Nathan, arrange for someone to keep a close eye on him. If he makes any unusual moves, arrest him immediately."
"Yes!"
Although Coral Gousinhai also wanted to deal with Nathan immediately, now was not the right time. The situation was complicated and she had to consider all aspects and make the most correct choice.
"Mochizuki, there is something else that requires you to go to Inazuma Castle in person." As he said that, Coral Palace Xinhai took out a piece of paper from the low seat, on which was a portrait.
"According to the information from Inazuma City, this person is the Fatui's intelligence officer Kodok. He has been frequenting brothels and spending money like water recently. He is a very easy person to bribe. I hope you can go there in person and completely use the Fatui's intelligence agency in Inazuma City for your own benefit."
"Master Coral Palace, please rest assured that I will complete this mission!"
Chapter 22: The Fall of the Jade Pavilion
Gold house.
"Let's wait and see whether a country without gods can cope with the malice from ancient times, hahahaha!!!"
Tartaglia opened his arms, laughed wildly and crazily, then turned into a stream of water and disappeared in front of the traveler.
The traveler rushed out of the Golden House with Paimon, trying to track down the young master.
But the scene before him completely shocked the traveler. He saw that the whole world was shrouded in dense dark clouds, with lightning, thunder, and howling winds.
A powerful energy surged out of the sea water, shocking everyone. This was the power of an ancient demon god, which broke free of its seal and came with terrifying pressure. Its breath was as turbulent as a storm and as cold and ruthless as a thousand-year-old glacier.
The whirlpool demon Osel has returned!
It has five snake-like heads, and the scarlet eyes on the heads are flashing with the light of destruction. Today it wants to destroy the entire Liyue to avenge Morax's suppression!
Just as the travelers were panicking, the magnificent Jade Pavilion flew above the Golden House and faced Osel across the sea!
Soon, a shocking war began.
Although the Liyue Seven Stars and the immortals severely damaged Osel with the help of the immortal mechanism, Osel released its ultimate move at the critical moment.
The sky was filled with blue energy balls pouring down on them like raindrops. Although they managed to avoid the attack of the energy balls, their chance of survival was completely destroyed. They lost the only weapon that could hurt Osel.
When Osel was about to rush to Liyue Port, Ningguang of Tianquan Star, wearing a white and gold cheongsam, stood tall and fearless, "I have another plan, which is to give up Qun Yu Pavilion!"
Soon, the magnificent Jade Pavilion fell from the sky and smashed heavily on the unsuspecting Osel.
"boom!
The violent explosion instantly resounded throughout the world, like a destructive symphony, tearing apart the silent night sky.
The originally dark night now became as bright as day.
After the explosion, the war between human immortals and demons came to an end.
……
In Northland Bank.
"It's you, Traveler. It must be hard to forget the feeling of watching your friends being robbed of their valuables and being unable to do anything about it."
