Chapter 117 Merchant Ship
After two days of fighting, the already scarce Pianpian flowers on the snowfield had completely disappeared.
As the time agreed with the servants was approaching, Liu Bai and Nashida, who had been camping on the snowfield for two days, decided to return.
"lets go."
Nashida took Liu Bai's hand and spoke to him.
Since she had been on the snowy field for the past two days and was blown by the cold wind all day long, she made herself a coat that fit her height at Liu Bai's request.
The style is similar to the executive officer's coat, except for some differences in the details. The overall color is grass green, and the decorative patterns are all Sumeru-style patterns.
"Yeah, back to the city."
Liu Bai nodded and then activated the earth vein transmitter.
After five or six seconds of guidance, the two quickly disappeared on the snowfield, leaving only an empty tent.
It was just after noon and there was still some time, so Liu Bai and Nashida returned to the house and began to pack up things.
The two of them have long been accustomed to this kind of moving-like situation.
This is mainly due to Liu Bai's personal habit. No matter where he goes, it is best to take out the original things and put them around so that he can sleep well. For example, the box containing various things, the sea otter doll, etc.
When the two of them had almost finished packing, Linnie knocked on the door.
Then the two followed Linny to the port of Winter Solstice, where a large merchant ship capable of sailing had been waiting for a long time, and a group of Fatui soldiers were carrying cargo up and down.
Although Zhidong has extremely powerful naval warships, it is impossible for them to sail into the waters of Fontaine without permission, so this trip was just a merchant ship traveling to and from the port of Fontaine.
The Fatui have business dealings with almost all countries, so there is no need to worry about being intercepted.
"Father."
Linni and Liu Bai quickly found Alechino on the deck.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
"Welcome, Mr. Lerch. The next voyage will take a few days. Please be patient. Linnie will take you to the rest room later."
Alechino, who was walking or directing work on the deck, turned around and responded, then spoke to Liu Bai and the others.
"Ok."
"Come on, girl, let's go to the bow and get some fresh air!"
Liu Bai responded by making an OK gesture, then pulled Nashida towards the bow of the ship.
Seeing this, Linnie had no choice but to follow quickly. After all, he still had to take the two of them to the rest room.
Since Liu Bai's teleportation skill can only select places he has been to as the teleportation landing point, he used to often take the boat to perform missions. Now coming to the boat again gives him a very familiar feeling.
As for Nashida, except for the consciousness boat in the consciousness space of the Great Compassion Tree King, she has never taken any ship, so she is looking forward to the voyage in the next few days.
Just like that, after the Fatui soldiers finished moving the cargo, the merchant ship slowly set sail.
"The food of the Fatui looks good. Come and have a taste."
After setting sail, Nashida went out for a walk alone, quickly received two dinners, and returned to the rest room to talk to Liu Bai.
Liu Bai also missed the soldiers' meals. After all, excluding the time for the executive officer assessment mission, he had not participated in a mission for five months. Naturally, he had not tasted the food prepared by the logistics troops for five months.
"Gulu gulu..."
The food on the boat was really good, and they even came with a bottle of mineral water.
Liu Bai thought so, and after eating a few bites of meat, he picked up the water bottle and gulped down a few gulps.
"...?"
Nashida had just tasted a few bites of the barbecue when she discovered that Liu Bai had fallen to the ground and was unable to get up.
After taking a closer look at the water bottle in Liu Bai's hand, Nashida leaned over and sniffed it, and immediately smelled a very strong smell of alcohol.
It is obvious that the content in this bottle is not mineral water, but a bottle of "fire water", a specialty of winter.
Apart from the locals, few foreigners can stand this kind of wine...
"Really? Who wouldn't smell it before drinking it?"
Nashida helped Liu Bai back to bed helplessly.
……
Sea voyages are very boring. Except for the crew on duty, the rest of the crew have basically nothing to do.
Most of these crew members are Fatui soldiers. In addition to ordinary soldiers, there are also some elite debt handlers and servants. With nothing to do, they had to find a place to gather together to chat and drink, and occasionally play board games such as Seven Sages Summons.
Linny and Linnet were in a similar situation, they were chatting at the bow.
"Come to think of it, Lord Wangzhe and the gods really have a connection."
"When I was in Fontaine, I was invited by the water goddess Funina to serve as a guard several times. After I came to Winter Solstice, I was valued by the Queen and became an executive officer. After I went to Xumi, I got along very well with the little auspicious grass king."
Linnie was lying on the railing at the bow and talking to his sister Linnet.
"Yeah, unlike my brother, he didn't even dare to say a word when he saw the queen for the first time."
Linnet nodded in agreement.
"Ahem... First, most people will be like this when they see the majesty of the Queen for the first time."
Linnie coughed awkwardly, then defended himself.
"What are you talking about, can you add me?"
At this moment, Liu Bai's head suddenly popped out from between the two of them, and he put his hands on their shoulders and spoke.
The sip of fire water had made him drunk for a whole day and night, and he had just woken up.
"what?!"
Liu Bai's appearance was so sudden that Linny and Linnette, who were totally unaware, were startled and the latter was so frightened that her fur stood up like a cat.
"Master Wangzhe, we didn't mean to talk about you behind your back..."
Lin Ni quickly explained to Liu Bai apologetically.
"Oh, it's okay. Compared to this... do you want to play mahjong? My little girl and I are short of two people."
Liu Bai waved his hand nonchalantly, then made a suggestion to the two of them.
Since the voyage on the ship was really boring, Liu Bai asked Nashida to help him make a set of mahjong after waking up.
This kind of item that does not contain energy does not require much elemental power to create by materializing her dreams.
"Ah, okay. I don't know what game it is, but I'll just obey you."
Linnie did not refuse the invitation of an executive. Linnet raised her hand to smooth her hair, then nodded and agreed.
……
Opéra Opéra.
Due to the suspension of the cardinal's session due to the decree, the trial during this period could only be temporarily decided by the Supreme Inquisitor and the water goddess Funina.
However, the water goddess Funina has always agreed with the judgment of the Supreme Inquisitor, so there has been no disagreement, just as the judgment of the Supreme Inquisitor and the results of the oracle's ruling of the cardinal have been exactly the same for five hundred years.
After the trial ended that day, everyone left the Opikle Opera House one after another, leaving only the water goddess Funina and some cleaners.
The decree ruled that since the cardinal was a creation of God, the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences could not dismantle and repair it, and could only leave the maintenance work to God.
"Alas, how would I know how to fix this thing? I can't just kowtow to it and ask it to fix itself..."
Sitting next to the Cardinal of the Decree, a white-haired girl wearing a blue hat sighed depressedly.
The girl's name was Funina, the water goddess of Fontaine.
"It seems that the guy did exactly that back then..."
Furninna muttered something, then pulled out a folded newspaper hidden on her body.
This newspaper published events that had attracted much attention in Fontaine recently, including the return of the Great Kindness Tree King of Xumi and the engagement of the Little Auspicious Grass King.
Whether it is the return of a god after being missing for five hundred years or the engagement of a god, these are major events that have never happened in the entire Teyvat. Even if they have nothing to do with Fontaine, they still attracted considerable attention.
"You must be doing well now..."
With her thumb, Funina gently rubbed the area on the photo that had been deliberately erased by Steambird News, but it was impossible to erase it.
