Chapter 221 First Arrival at Inazuma
"...Look, Kurumi is blowing up the kitchen again!"
Hearing Zhongli's words, Ruoli quickly raised her finger and pointed behind Zhongli and exclaimed.
Zhongli subconsciously turned his head and met eyes with Hu Tao who just came out of the room.
"Hey, what's wrong with me going to the kitchen? Xiaoli, come here. Today, I will love and treat you well and teach you to respect your elder sister."
Hu Tao also heard Ruoli's exclamation just now, and immediately walked towards Ruoli's room in a bad mood.
"It's not good for the hall master to see so many Moras..."
Zhongli felt something was wrong and immediately looked inside the room.
Ouch...
By the time he saw it, all the Mora in the room had been swallowed by Ruoli.
"Don't worry, my belly can hold more than the Geisha no Jutsu."
Ruoli patted her flat belly and said proudly.
As an elemental dragon, Ruoli's belly is no smaller than Apep's. However, the rock element does not have much vitality, so it cannot give birth to an elemental race like Apep.
At this time, Hu Tao also walked into the room and took Ruoli away.
"Zhongli, save me..."
Being pulled away by Hu Tao, Ruoli looked at Zhongli for help.
"Well, the weather is nice today, suitable for bird walking."
Zhongli looked out the window without responding.
……
For the next week, Liu Bai took Nashida to travel around Liyue and Winter Solstice, squandering the money they had obtained.
This can be considered a short break. After all, he has never had a break since he obtained the previous three Hearts of God combined.
After solving the funding problem and traveling for a week, it was time for Liu Bai to set off for the next country, Inazuma.
Inazuma is far overseas, and it takes four or five days to arrive even by the fastest ship.
Moreover, Inazuma is now closed to the outside world, and there are thunderstorms raging in the open sea, making it extremely difficult for ships to pass safely.
Liu Bai discussed with Nashida and decided to give up the boring sea voyage and teleport directly to the land of Inazuma.
Just like that, the two disappeared from Winterfell, and when they reappeared, they had already set foot in the land of Thunder.
Well, thunder in the truest sense of the word.
"Girl, even though you just said that Inazuma is the country of thunder, it doesn't mean we'll be struck by thunder as soon as we get here..."
Liu Bai looked up at the huge spiral thunderclouds in the sky and the dense and non-stop lightning strikes on the earth. He shrank his neck, swallowed his saliva, and spoke to Nashida.
"What a huge thundercloud, plus such a dense thunderstorm, this must be Amanome Pass."
Nashida looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky, put one hand on her chin, thought for a moment, and then made a judgment.
Although it was her first time to come to Inazuma, she had learned some things in advance. After all, she knew that Liu Bai definitely did not make any advance preparations.
"If we want to go to Inazuma Castle, we have to head that way."
Nashida identified the direction, then pointed in the direction of Ming Shen Island and explained to Liu Bai.
Liu Bai nodded, and then the two continued on their journey and soon arrived at Mingshen Island.
However, the two were foreigners, and as the country was closed to the outside world, they were stopped by shogunate soldiers and inspected as soon as they arrived outside Inazuma Castle.
The two men stood at the back of the inspection line and discovered that foreigners staying in Inazuma needed a permit.
"give it to me."
Nashida pulled Liu Bai's hand and reminded him in a low voice.
Soon it was their turn to check, and Nashida cooperated by stretching out her empty little hand.
Under the influence of spiritual power, the shogunate soldier reached out and took the air from Nashida's hand, checked it and returned the air to Nashida, and then let the two pass.
In this way, the two of them sneaked into Inazuma Castle openly.
When they first entered Inazuma City, the two could initially feel the style and culture of Inazuma from the buildings in the city. It was not as long-standing as Liyue, nor as open as Fontainebleau, but had a unique and heavy charm.
Perhaps due to the isolationist policy, the atmosphere in the city seemed a bit dull, and it was rare to see pedestrians laughing and talking on the streets. Instead, there were often shogunate soldiers belonging to the Tenryo Bugyo patrolling.
"Girl, it's so depressing here..."
Liu Bai also noticed this and whispered to Nashida.
"Well, the National Closure Order and the Eye Hunting Order, even if the people agree with the decision of the gods, they still affect people's lives."
"Besides, Inazuma is made up of many islands, and the land available for farming and livestock is limited. If the country is closed to the outside world, food imports will be cut off, and the quality of people's diet will decline."
Nashida nodded and explained to Liu Bai in a low voice to avoid being heard by the passing shogunate soldiers.
"Eye Hunt Order? What is the Eye Hunt Order?"
Liu Bai asked doubtfully.
"Well, that's the Eye Hunting Order."
Nashida did not explain, but raised her hand and pointed to a place not far away on the street where the noise had started from nowhere.
"Hand over the Eye of God! Don't resist!"
Not far away, a team of well-trained shogunate soldiers surrounded a man.
The leader of this group of shogunate soldiers was a woman with short purple shoulder-length hair and a Crow Tengu mask tilted on her head.
The person they surrounded was an Inazuma man who had a divine eye hidden in his body.
He had just obtained the Eye of God not long ago and had not even used it a few times, but he was accidentally discovered by the shogunate soldiers, so this scene happened.
Faced with the pressure from the shogunate soldiers, he gritted his teeth and refused to give up resistance. He clenched the Eye of the God of Fire in his hand, and a blazing flame immediately ignited on his body.
"Humph, in vain."
The leading female snorted softly and transformed into a lightning shadow and came behind the other party.
Bang-!
Although the opponent reacted slightly, he was knocked unconscious by a knife before he could turn around.
Then, she squatted down and took the Eye of God from the other person's hand, and a strange power emerged from her other hand and attached it to the Eye of God.
The next moment, chains appeared on the Eye of God, blocking it directly, making it impossible to return to its owner.
"This is the power of the Eye Hunting Order, the power that can seal the God's Eye. The purpose of the Eye Hunting Order is to confiscate all the God's Eyes in the Inazuma people."
Nashida pointed at the sealed Eye of God and explained to Liu Bai.
"I see... Girl, do you have the Eyes of God?"
Liu Bai nodded as if he understood, then asked Nashida.
"I do not have."
Nashida shook her head. As a demon god, she didn't need the Eye of God to use elemental power at will.
"What a coincidence! I don't have the Eye of God either."
Liu Bai crossed his arms and smiled smugly. He didn't even have elemental power.
"That's really good news. Let's go straight over there."
Nashida also understood what Liu Bai meant and answered in response.
Neither of them had the Eye of God, so Liu Bai didn't feel any psychological pressure at all. He pulled Nashida past the shogunate soldiers.
"Um……?"
The leading female wearing a Crow Tengu mask turned her head and looked at the silly grinning Liu Bai and frowned slightly.
It's been a long time since I saw someone who smiled so foolishly...
