Chapter 128: The Black Mist and the Palace Below
Inazuma, Haiji Island.
After thoroughly clearing the black fog around the island and ensuring that it would not appear again within a certain period of time, Ningzhe followed Xinhai back to the Coral Palace.
Originally, according to Ningzhe's plan, after clearing the black fog, they should embark on the road back to Daozuma City, but they didn't expect that Xinhai would observe all the way, especially after seeing Ningzhe's methods, she seemed to be doing After making a decision, he took Ningzhe to the Coral Palace very firmly.
Although Ningzhe was puzzled, based on his understanding of Xinhai, this witch from Haiji Island should have something important to tell him, otherwise she would not interrupt his plan without saying a word.
only...
Apart from the black mist, is there anything else on Kaiji Island that needs to be resolved immediately?
Ningzhe only vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a big secret in Haiji Island, but the problem was that he couldn't remember what the secret was, and he didn't have the time to spend much time staying here.
In the Coral Palace Shrine, Xinhai put on a pure white witch costume, pure, pious and sacred.
"Um?"
Seeing that Xinhai had specially changed his clothes, Ningzhe frowned slightly, a little confused, but did not ask.
Because Xinhai looked solemn at this time, standing in front of a statue about three meters high, with his head lowered, as if he was praying.
Although Ningzhe did not speak, he also observed the statue carefully.
Perhaps due to the erosion of time, the original appearance of this statue can no longer be seen clearly. The whole body is full of dents and defects, and only a little bit can be seen: the statue does not seem to be human-shaped.
"..."
In fact, Ningzhe also knew that the demon god [Aurobas] believed in on Haiji Island was the snake whose body was split with a knife, and he also knew that period of history that had been widely circulated.
[According to legend, the demon god Orobas was the loser in the demon war and fled to the dark sea.]
[In the land of the sea abyss, he protected the people and became their great sea god, Toro Yu Clan Lord.]
[Until a certain period of time, Orobas "suddenly became malicious and invaded eastward." Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and General Raiden's favorite Tengu Yuri Tengu also died here. 】
[The big snake was finally beheaded by His Highness the Imperial Palace and died on Hachiro Island.]
This is the history recorded in folk books, which is quite credible.
After all, the traces left by General Thunderbolt's "Wuxiang Knife" are there, and that kind of power that can destroy the world is better than any evidence.
Plus...
A huge snake bone also stands on that island, so no one doubts the history recorded in the books, not even the locals of Daozhu, let alone Ningzhe, who is from Liyue.
"...."
After a while, Xinhai seemed to have finished his prayer, turned his head to look at Ningzhe, put on a shallow smile, and said softly: "Long wait, Mr. Ningzhe."
"No, it's nothing. In Liyue, the longest prayer I've seen for Lord Yan lasted for three hours, half a day."
Hearing this, Ningzhe waved his hand. It took Xinhai less than ten minutes from the beginning of the prayer to the end. This speed is simply amazingly efficient.
"Prince Yan...is he the [god] who protects Liyue? Well, after all, that god still exists in the world, so people's etiquette will always be much more considerate."
Hearing Ningzhe's words, Xinhai nodded slightly, but then, her smile sank, and she spoke seriously: "The [Spirit] of Haiji Island told me that this time the swallowing of the black mist has hurt Hai At the foundation of the island, the whirlpool below has begun to stir."
"Below Kaiji Island... there is another land, and that place hides deep secrets. I don't know what the specific content is. The information left by the Great God also tells us not to try to explore..."
"But if Kaiji Island is really damaged by the black fog, we have to solve this matter..."
Having said this, Xinhai stopped, lowered his head slightly, and sounded apologetic.
"..."
Ningzhe obviously understood what Xinhai meant. After seeing how he could clear the black mist, he wanted to ask him to help solve the problems that would arise next.
Normally, Ningzhe would have refused a hundred times when faced with such a troublesome and laborious matter.
Even if the person asking for help is a cute mermaid wearing white stockings, he will not waver in the slightest.
but now...
He has been coming to Inazuma for so long according to the instructions of [The Gale Demon God], but he has not found any clues about [Mirlands], and he has also been involved in the game between various forces.
Well, even though he was forced to become a chess player, he still shouldn't do more of this kind of brain-consuming thing.
Now I suddenly learned that there is another land under Haiji Island, and the old man is still awake... Then he has to go and take a look no matter what angle it is.
But... we can't agree to this casually.
"Well...Miss Coral Palace, you also know that I was invited to come to Inazuma. I'm afraid that after solving the matter in Inazuma City, I will lose my legal status."
"If the national lockdown order and the eye hunting order have not been lifted by then, I will not risk the deterioration of relations between Liyue and Daozu and stay in Daozu."
Reasons were given one by one, and Ningzhe's expression was very dull.
"Is this so..."
Hearing Ningzhe's words, Xinhai was stunned for a moment, but she seemed to understand what Ningzhe meant in an instant.
Legal status, national lockdown order and eye hunting order...
It means that the incident at Inazuma Castle is directly related to General Raiden, and his target has been a person of this level from the beginning... Now that he mentioned this matter to her, he just wanted to get her full support.
No...not with the full support of her Coral Palace Heart Sea, but with the support of all members of the resistance.
This is different from the agreement they reached at Baiweiju in Daozuma City. The contract proposed by Ningzhe now refers to the cooperation between the entire organization and him.
In other words, it's a deal...
But even judging from Xinhai's resourcefulness, this deal would be completely beneficial to the resistance without any harm.
Not to mention that the meaning of the existence of the resistance army is to resist the Eye Hunting Order. Even if Ningzhe did not propose this contract, the relationship between them and the Inazuma Shogunate was still in dire straits...
Let’s just say that the current complicated situation in Inazuma City is also the easiest place to get involved and cause trouble.
"Of course, the rebels will do their best to ensure this."
After understanding Ningzhe's words, Xinhai responded directly without hesitation.
"This way there will be no problem... There is no urgency about that matter now. Let's return to Inazuma Castle now. I'm afraid there will be a lot of things to do in these two days."
Since Ningzhe went out this time very secretly, the only few agents who stayed in the Privy Council did not follow him. Ningzhe naturally did not know what was happening in Daozhu City today.
"good."
With a slight smile on Xinhai's face, he answered softly.
For some reason, she always felt that being on the same side as Ningzhe was definitely not a wrong thing.
