Chapter 48: The Second Day of Getting Serious in Liyue

After sailing out of the offshore waters, the Southern Cross Fleet did not head directly back to Liyue, but instead turned around and headed towards Haigi Island.

There were still thunderstorms on the sea. Occasionally, loud thunder would fall from the sky and explode on the sea surface, killing wave after wave of sea fish. Whenever the fish passed by, the people on the boat did not despise them. They would catch the fish if they could, and let them go if they could not.

Every member of the Southern Cross Fleet is a partner carefully selected by Beidou. They have been sailing on the sea for many years without being defeated, relying on the mutual trust between each other, which is no exception at any time.

"Big sister, a little further ahead is Nashii Beach, which is now the main battlefield between the Inazuma Tenryo Bugyo and the resistance army. We'd better avoid it."

Wan Ye stood at the bow, pointing to several islands not far away and said, "Next to him stood a woman in red clothes with a black eye patch on her right eye. She was the [Dragon King] of the sea in Liyue, whose reputation was second only to the Seven Stars - Beidou."

"Although both sides are too busy fighting to care about this, our trip to Haige Island is a secret operation, so it's best not to be discovered by the Tenryo Bugyo."

Wan Ye continued to explain that he knew that with the firepower of the Southern Cross Fleet and the combat effectiveness of Beidou, they would not be afraid of Tianling Bugyo, but this time they came with a purpose, so it would be better not to act rashly before contacting the present human god priestess.

"Since Manye said so, let's take a detour - guys, turn the rudder!"

Beidou patted Manye's shoulder generously and immediately ordered them to take a detour, showing his full trust.

There seem to be many outstanding women in this generation of Liyue, whether it is Tianquan Ningguang, the leader of the Seven Stars, Keqing, the leader of the Southern Cross, Beidou, or Yanfei, a well-known lawyer in Liyue, Xiangling, the head chef of Wanmin Hall, Hutao, the head of Wangsheng Hall, Yunjin, the top star of Yunhan Society, and Yelan, who is not well-known but has a special status...

They were all chosen by the Eye of God and were outstanding representatives of Liyue. Compared with them, the boys of this generation seemed to be much inferior.

Even Zhongli couldn't tell the reason behind this, but Liyue didn't have any high requirements regarding gender, and there were many capable female workers in the General Affairs Department. He was also pleased that they were so motivated.

As for those oppressed men... I can only say that they need to work harder.

"But let's get this one thing straight, Manye."

Beidou has always been a straightforward person, generous and magnanimous, and doesn't like to speak in a timid way.

"I agree to help, but if the resistance army doesn't perform well... I won't stay with Inazuma forever."

Beidou helped the rebels because, firstly, she was attracted by the abundant material products of Kaigi Island and was interested in establishing a stable trading relationship with Kaigi Island. Secondly, she was willing to provide her own combat power for Manye's sake. However, if the rebels were vulnerable, she would have no room to help.

People have to be able to stand on their own feet before everything goes well.

"Don't worry, big sister. When I was wandering, I also spent some time with the rebels. I have some understanding of the lady of the Coral Palace on Haiqi Island. She may seem weak, but she is actually a [military strategist] who has made every possible effort."

Although the Narukami Island side did not put all its combat power into the fight against the rebels, the strength of Umijima alone plus the scattered followers it took in were enough to hold out against the Tenryo Bugyo headed by Kujo Gara until now, and the command of the miko was indispensable.

"That's good, but... isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to keep this secret from Sora and Paimon?"

Beidou touched her chin. When she sent the traveler to the outlying island, she did not tell him the actual purpose of the Southern Cross Fleet.

After a month of getting along, the people on the ship have almost figured out Kong's personality. They are all veterans with many years of experience, so how could they not see that the traveler has a heart that shines like gold.

This made Beidou feel a little uncomfortable about hiding it from Kong, as she was always completely open with her friends.

"It doesn't matter...we will see him again soon."

Wan Ye turned his head and looked in the direction of the island, smiling slightly.

The two society magistrates are well-informed and will surely not miss the opportunity to meet Sora. And given the style of the White Egret Princess, she will most likely introduce the rebels to the traveler.

He touched the dim Eye of God in his arms, wondering what was in his mind.

It took him a month to get familiar with the one-handed sword, and a week to get familiar with the two-handed sword. But when he switched to the spear, Shui Qingli had to admit that although it was really cool to wield a spear, he really had no talent at all.

"How about... let's try a magic weapon?"

Looking at Xiao's silent face, Shui Qingli spoke cautiously.

He really is a mage, and close combat is not suitable for him, so the Great Sage who Conquers Demons should let him go.

Looking at Shui Qingli, who had been practicing for half a month but still couldn't learn how to use a gun, Xiao had to admit that some people might really not have the talent for using guns.

Obviously, Liyue’s traditional weapon is the spear.

The immortal with dark green hair sighed helplessly, and finally compromised.

"I understand."

Every owner of the Eye of God on the continent of Teyvat will choose a weapon that suits them, not just because it makes attacking easier.

Weapons that can be forged into stars, especially weapons that are remade from weapon embryos, each has a unique interest and can help the owner use elemental power more smoothly and reduce consumption of the self.

But Shui Qingli's purpose in choosing weapons was not this.

"Emperor... Lord Zhongli sent me something earlier. It was specially made for you. It will be much easier for you to do things with it."

The use of magical weapons is not within Xiao's area of ​​expertise, so Shui Qingli can only figure it out on his own. The reason why he tried his best to help Shui Qingli become familiar with the use of various weapons was also to repay him for his help.

It’s a pity that Shui Qingli doesn’t really want this kind of reward.

"Is it done? According to Mr. Zhongli's speed, it seems normal..."

It takes two hours to brew a pot of refreshing tea, and it took two months to make a fake Eye of God, which is really no big deal.

The real Eye of God will faintly exude the aura of elemental force itself, so it is not easy to make a fake one.

Just like Wendy's glass ball, although it is light, the fake Eye of God also hides the power of the wind element. Zhongli's Eye of God of Rock Element is also polished by himself, and both contain the power of the elemental force they represent.

As for the fake one that Shui Qingli was going to make... he decisively sent over the largest and most water-filled gem he had on him. Mr. Zhongli was an expert in playing with stones, so this would not be a problem for him.

There is no other way. It is not difficult for him to make a fake Eye of God by himself, but it is not easy to add elemental power without being discovered.
