Chapter 616 Arriving at Rice Wife
Beidou then tried to introduce the two to Thomas, "Thomas, these two are..." But she was interrupted by Thomas before she could finish her words. Thomas waved his hand confidently, with a smile as confident as if he owned the whole world, "No need to introduce them. The reputation of the foreign traveler is so famous that even the storms on the sea cannot stop it. It has long been known to everyone." When he said this, Thomas still looked at the three with a sharp gaze, full of curiosity and appreciation, but his main focus was still on Kong and Paimon. As for Lin Feng, perhaps in his eyes, Lin Feng was just a jerk who traveled with the two. Of course, Lin Feng sometimes positioned himself like this, and he didn't care about it. He just shrugged slightly with a faint smile on his lips.
After hearing Thomas's praise, Kong felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and his fair cheeks flushed slightly, as if the sky was stained with a shy sunset glow. He waved his hands quickly, his movements a little awkward, "Thank you, thank you." Kong has never been good at responding to compliments from others. At this moment, being praised so directly and enthusiastically by Thomas, his heart was like a little rabbit, beating fast, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, and he didn't even know where to put his hands and feet.
Paimon was also very happy after hearing Thomas's praise, and turned around excitedly in the air. His face was filled with a brilliant smile, which was as bright as the sun. "You speak so nicely, hehe." Paimon was innocent, like a child who had never experienced the world. He was naturally happy to hear others' praise, and his favorability towards Thomas instantly soared like a rocket, and his eyes became particularly friendly when he looked at Thomas.
Beidou heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Thomas obviously knew Sora, it seemed that she didn't have to go through the trouble of introducing him. "Well, that's convenient. Traveler, Thomas has been hanging around on the outlying island for a long time, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he's the local boss here. If you have any difficulties, go to him, but if he has ill intentions towards you... next time you come to Inazuma, I will stand up for you." Beidou said half-jokingly, but her eyes revealed a hint of seriousness. Although she was familiar with Thomas, people's hearts are hidden, and who can know what others are really thinking?
When Thomas heard Beidou say this, he smiled helplessly and spread his hands, as if saying "How could I be that kind of person?" "Hahaha... don't worry, I have a feeling we will get along very well." Thomas' smile was sincere and friendly, making people feel particularly cordial, as if there was an invisible affinity, as if he was assuring Sora and the others that he would never do anything wrong and would be their reliable partner in Inazuma.
Beidou saw that the time was almost up and had explained everything she needed to, so she planned to leave immediately. After all, this was not her final destination, and she came here only because her destination was here. "Then the time is almost up. After all, there is a "wanted criminal" hiding on my ship, so it is not convenient for me to stay for long." Beidou said, with a trace of worry in her eyes. She knew very well that hiding a wanted criminal on the ship during this sensitive period was an extremely dangerous thing, just like playing with fire next to a gunpowder barrel, which could cause big trouble at any time, and she had to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
When Paimon heard this, he immediately realized who Beidou was talking about. His eyes lit up like stars twinkling in the night sky, "You're talking about Manye..."
Beidou nodded after hearing what Paimon said, and looked at Sora with encouragement in her eyes. That look was like warm sunshine, giving Sora strength, "See you next time, Traveler. No matter what kind of storms you encounter in Inazuma, you must get through it!" Beidou's voice was firm and powerful, as if she was beating a drum for Sora who was about to embark on an unknown journey. Sora felt her care and trust, as if she saw a bright light in the darkness.
After listening to Beidou's words, Kong nodded with high morale, his eyes revealing firm determination, like a burning flame, "I'm looking forward to seeing you next time!" Kong knew that the journey in Inazuma would be full of challenges, like walking through thorns, but he had already come to this point, so naturally he was not afraid.
Paimon also said goodbye at this time, his voice was clear and pleasant, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains, "Bye, and have a safe trip, Captain Beidou." Paimon had a reluctant smile on his face and tears in his eyes. He waved goodbye to Beidou, and the waving little hand seemed to express endless reluctance.
After hearing the two people's farewell words, Beidou smiled and nodded, then walked towards the boat. Her steps were steady and powerful, and every step was firm, showing a capable temperament, like a general who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Not long after getting on the boat, the boat started again, and the hull slowly broke through the waves and sailed into the distance. It seemed to be heading towards a deeper part of the sea, and the color of the sea water gradually changed from light blue to dark blue, as if it was heading towards a mysterious world. Kong was naturally very confused and couldn't understand why Beidou wanted to sail in that direction. But maybe he could ask Lin Feng when he had time. Although that guy didn't do any serious work, he was well-informed. Maybe he could know Beidou's intention.
Seeing that the Death Star had continued to sail, Thomas turned to look at the three people with a gentle smile on his face. That smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel particularly comfortable. "Then, let's go to the inspection station to register first." Thomas's tone was unquestionable. Although he was smiling, there was a power that made people irresistible, as if this was something that must be done immediately and could not be delayed at all.
When Paimon heard this, she was puzzled, a doubtful expression appeared on her face, and confusion was written in her eyes. "Hey, are we going to face the official personnel of Inazuma directly? Didn't you say secretly..." Paimon originally thought that she could sneak into Inazuma quietly as before and avoid those tedious inspections and troubles. Unexpectedly, she had to face the official personnel openly now. This made her feel like a bottle of mixed feelings was overturned in her heart. All kinds of feelings surged into her heart, and a particularly uneasy feeling spread in her heart.
Thomas smiled helplessly at this and explained patiently, "Haha, don't underestimate the "lockdown order". You can't avoid the identity check. So we have to follow the rules... and do the illegal things." Although Thomas' words sounded a bit strange, they were full of wisdom. In a country like Inazuma that strictly enforces the lockdown order, if you want to enter the country smoothly, you must follow the rules, otherwise if you are found out, you will really be imprisoned.
