Chapter 65: Day 8 of Writing a Light Novel at Inazuma
Extra-large fireworks are literally huge in both scale and size.
Fortunately, the traveler's bag could hold it, otherwise he was afraid that the thing would go off on the road.
Arriving near the Thousand-armed and Hundred-eyed statue and parting ways with Zaoyou, Kong dodged the surrounding soldiers and released a firework tube in a corner. Then, he lit the fireworks when no one was paying attention and dashed out at flying speed the next moment.
But the loud noise still shocked my ears and almost caused tinnitus.
"What kind of fireworks are these? They're going to blow my ears off."
Paimon covered her ears in discomfort. She had moved as far away as possible before the fireworks were lit, but she was still startled by the deafening sound.
"That guy from Xiaogong is really too much of a mess..."
How was she going to set off the fireworks that made such a big noise in the city if she and Kong didn't need them today?
Just as they expected, the shogunate troops on guard were attracted by the huge noise and gathered near the Thousand-armed and Hundred-eyed statue.
Shui Qingli and Xiao Gong stood at a relatively safe distance and watched the fireworks explode. Seeing the colorful fireworks rising successfully, Xiao Gong jumped for joy.
"Yeah! It worked!"
The fact that it didn't break or explode on the spot meant that her extra-large firework was a success.
“Hmm… But it seems the dosage needs to be adjusted, otherwise it will still easily hurt people… Ah, someone is coming this way, let’s go quickly.
She quickly pulled Shui Qingli along and tried to run away, as she didn't want to be caught by Tianling Fengxing.
"You should go back to the fireworks store first. I have to go help Sora clean up the mess."
Shui Qingli noticed that the traveler was trapped in an encirclement and was hiding here and there. The fireworks made a lot of noise and attracted many soldiers. They couldn't just hide from sight and run away like in the game, so it was difficult for Sora and Paimon to hide.
Even without Shui Qingli's help, he could actually run away. When the soldiers of Tianling Fengxing discovered the fireworks, they would know that this was a diversion. But now, he still had to do his best.
Xiao Gong made a gesture at him, then ran away jumping and skipping, without any doubt about Shui Qingli's strength at all.
The design of Inazuma Castle was based on the terrain, with each floor rising higher and higher. The highest position is the castle tower where the God of Thunder resides. The design of water sources for such a city is also relatively flexible. There are several rivers in the city that lead directly to the outside of the city, and the water never stops flowing.
“This design saves a lot of effort.”
The waterways on both sides of the street are designed to drain sewage and maintain unobstructed waterways. Flexible use of mountain streams makes the water clearer.
I don't know when it started raining.
He transformed himself into water element and merged into the rain, so no one could detect him.
"It's raining?"
The rain came without any warning. There was neither thunder nor lightning nor dark clouds in the sky, but water drops kept falling from the sky, soaking the soldiers' clothes.
The shogunate soldiers were somewhat hesitant as to whether to continue searching. After all, once the rain fell, many of the original traces would be washed away.
"good chance!"
Kong was very good at seizing fleeting opportunities. While people were attracted by the rain, he quickly changed a path and ran towards the Mulou Tea House.
Shui Qingli also saw another small figure, whizzing past like the wind, carrying curled leaves, so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.
She is indeed my favorite lolita. (I didn't draw Ye Lan.)
The man hiding in the rain smiled. He stretched out his hand and waved it gently. The water hidden in the raindrops suddenly appeared under the feet of several people like silent ropes, tripping the soldiers and making a mess on the ground.
"Forget it, retreat first."
The leading soldier raised his hand to signal to retreat. He had already seen the empty firework tube. He knew that this was probably the work of Naganohara's people again. He just didn't know what their purpose was this time.
He also needs to go back and report to Lord Kujo Sara.
All in all, this operation was successful and Zaoyou successfully stole the secret hidden in Kujo Takayuki's study.
It wasn't just the memorial that Tianling Fengxing was going to present to General Lei Dian, it also included correspondence with the Fatui. According to Zaoyou, she didn't know which one they needed, so she simply moved out all the suspicious documents.
Looking at the evidence of collusion between the head of the Tenryo Bugyo family and the Fatui, Kamisato Ayaka was calmer than expected.
She had already guessed what was wrong, and now it was just confirming her thoughts.
Since Yae no Miyabi intends to instigate Kujo Sara to rebel and face the Eye Hunting Order issued by General Raiden, the Society Bugyo only needs to support him silently behind the scenes. She believes that her brother has the same idea.
"I hope you guys can come back safely."
Kamisato Ayaka said with a smile.
"It was indeed a bit dangerous just now. Kong and I were almost discovered. Fortunately, it suddenly rained heavily."
Paimon said with a serious face.
"Why is it raining suddenly? There are no dark clouds and no thunder..."
His imagination went deeper than hers, and his intuition told him that the rain came too timely and was somewhat subtle.
Kamisato Ayaka and Thomas looked at each other, the latter looking somewhat incredulous.
"Could it be Mr. Qingli?"
Could it be that the young man who hangs around drinking tea, eating snacks and reading light novels every day actually has such ability? You can't judge a person by his appearance.
Manipulating the power of nature and manipulating the power of God's Eye are two different concepts. Even the holder of God's Eye cannot create abnormal weather out of thin air.
"Hey? Qingli? Isn't he staying at the Mulou Teahouse... not here?"
Paimeng turned his head and looked around, but didn't see Shui Qingli, and suddenly remembered something.
Maybe...it was really him who did it.
Kong didn't say anything, but there was a look of understanding in his eyes.
Sure enough, he wondered why it started raining suddenly for no reason, and coincidentally so near the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue.
"I almost forgot, he's actually quite amazing."
Paimon scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"Thank you so much for your affirmation of me."
A light voice sounded behind his ears, and Paimon was startled and jumped away, looking at the evil-minded guy with an accusing look.
"You are scaring me from behind again!"
Even though he helped them, he was still mean! Paimon didn't like playing with mean people!
"Thank you, Qingli."
Seeing his good friend suddenly appear out of nowhere, Kong guessed that he must have gone to help him clean up the mess, so he quickly thanked him.
Otherwise, his route back would be somewhat more embarrassing.
"You're welcome, we are friends."
Shui Qingli smiled faintly. After all, the traveler had provided him with good targets for scamming many times, so it was his duty to help.
So when you go to Xumi, which friend of Kong should you choose?
Tenshukaku
General Lei Dian sat quietly in the room, but suddenly he moved and opened his eyes.
Just now, an unusual atmosphere appeared in the city.
