The Homeless Man of Teyvat

"Lord Coral Palace! He's back! They're back!"

"Who is back? Don't be impatient, Wulang, speak slowly."

"Resistance troops stationed at Wuming Village!"

Wulang looked excited and his tail waggled rapidly behind him: "Wuming Village has scarce supplies and is in a difficult location. I thought they would never come back! But they are back! Great!"

"Wu Ming Village?"

Coral Palace Xinhai was also pleasantly surprised.

Since Haiji Island was blocked by thunderstorms, the resistance of Wuming Village has returned. This is one of the few and extremely rare good news.

She calmed down and asked, "How did they get through the thunderstorm? Where are they now?"

"It is said that the thunderstorm was passed through with the help of a blond traveler, and is now being repaired in Wanglong Village."

Wulang replied, his eyebrows relaxed, and the guilt and self-blame accumulated for many days finally dissipated: "Kuda has settled the soldiers, and is rushing to the Coral Palace with the blond traveler, and Uncle Hirakawa is also here. "

"plain?"

Coral Palace Xinhai's expression changed slightly: "No, Hirakawa has been lurking in Inazuma City. When he suddenly came back this time, something big must have happened! Goro, how long will it take for them to arrive?"

"We set off early this morning. According to our normal schedule, we can arrive before evening!"

"Leaving in the morning and arriving in the evening... Fortunately, it's not too late!"

Coral Palace breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the clock hanging on the wall and calculated silently for a moment before making a decision: "Wu Lang, you set off immediately and take people on the only way to Wanglong Village and Coral Palace. Be sure to ensure their safety." Safety."

"besides……"

Coral Palace thought about it in her heart and quietly gave Wulang a few words: "Did you remember it?"

"take note of it."

"Then let's go, I'll be waiting for your good news at the Coral Palace."

"Yes, I'll leave now!"

Wulang responded, immediately turned around and left, his steps a little windy.

Although Wulang didn't understand why Coral Palace Xinhai arranged for him to do this, it didn't matter. Anyway, he couldn't understand her arrangement until it was revealed, so he just followed it.

Coral Palace Xinhai watched him leave with twinkling eyes.

Since the blockade of Kaiji Island, the island has no longer been stable. If Ishikura Yushi and others know the news about the travelers and Hirakawa, they may secretly try to find out the secrets. And these people don't care what method is used to ask for information.

These people have caused enough chaos and cannot be allowed to continue.

Coral Palace Xinhai pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it, her eyes firming up.

…

"Master Traveler, after crossing the bridge in front, we are not far from the Coral Palace."

Pingchuan introduced cheerfully, raising his hand to point in a certain direction: "Sir, look at that large piece of pink coral! The Coral Palace is right under the coral, and the scenery is very beautiful!"

Ying heard the sound and looked up, and sure enough she saw a large piece of tall and beautiful coral. Perhaps it was because of the mysterious location of the Coral Palace, and there was a "ribbon" surrounding the coral. After taking a closer look, I realized that it was not a ribbon, but many water bubbles shining with colorful lights, gathered into strands, it was really beautiful.

"It's really good."

Ying nodded, if Teyvat or Inazuma were in a state of peace as a whole, and the people's customs were more open, maybe Kaijijima Coral Palace could become one of Inazuma's most famous attractions, attracting thousands of tourists.

Even if you don't sell tickets, you can still generate a lot of revenue just by selling some snacks, specialties, and souvenirs.

Ying was thinking wildly, and saw the little mascot looking at the huge coral in amazement. After thinking about it, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he whispered: "Paimon, I seem to have seen such a large one, no, such a huge one." coral."

"Huh? Did you see it when you were traveling in other worlds?"

Paimeng was surprised and felt that the sea of ​​​​stars was indeed wonderful. No matter how magical, magnificent and unique the landscape was, there was always a chance to find similarities or exact sameness within the scale of the sea of ​​​​stars.

"Yes, and if I remember correctly, this kind of coral has very magical characteristics!"

"What characteristics?"

"At the highest point of the coral, the place hit by the first ray of sunlight every day will become edible under the action of the morning light. Once the morning light passes, it will return to its original state. It is called [coral glue] and is rare in the world. gourmet food!"

Ying's expression was sincere and he spoke with certainty: "As long as the planets connected to the interstellar world know about it, I heard that only the big shots in the star sea can taste this delicious food at the grand banquet held once in a thousand years."

"Really?!"

Paimon's eyes suddenly lit up, and he never thought that Ying was teasing her again. She looked hard at the top of the giant coral, guessing the location of the coral glue. She also imagined the wonderful taste of the coral glue, and her mouth watered.

"Well!"

The little mascot wiped his saliva and gritted his teeth: "I have decided to stay in the Coral Palace for a few more days, get up early, climb corals, and eat coral gum!"

"It's hard to get up early, especially if you have to leave time for climbing. Paimon may have to get up before dawn."

Ying suppressed a smile and pretended to persuade: "It's just a rare delicacy in the Star Sea, otherwise forget it, Paimon."

"No! I must eat it!"

"But getting up early..."

"Paimon can overcome this!"

"It's still very high..."

"Pamon uses flying! You can also use tools!"

"Pamon is amazing."

"Hmph, Paimon is serious about the food!"

The little mascot held his arms in his arms, his little face raised proudly, and then he thought of something, rolled his eyes, and hugged Ying's arm: "Well, Ying~"

"Huh? What's wrong Pamon?"

Ying was confused, and at the same time, she suddenly felt something bad in her heart.

"That...that...I can't get up. Can you wake me up in advance?"

The little mascot Qi Qi Ai Ai said: "Also, I would like to trouble you to make a set of mountaineering tools suitable for me. Also, do you have the recipe for coral glue? You can't bite it directly, right?"

Just bite it with your mouth. If you bite it right, it's okay, but if you bite it wrong and you bite on the coral... ugh! Her teeth must not be able to bear it, right?

Thinking of that scene, Paimon couldn't help but lick his teeth with his little tongue, making a pitiful look, and looked at Ying with his big eyes: "Please help me~ Ying~ Please~"

fluorescent:"……"

She didn't want to get up before dawn just to climb to the top of the giant coral to watch the sunrise.

Ying, who shot himself in the foot, thought quickly, and soon came up with an idea, and whispered: "Paimon, this giant coral probably has sacred significance on Haiji Island, and outsiders are not allowed to climb or even get close to it. , maybe he will be regarded as a blasphemer!"

"Huh? Well, what you said makes sense."

Paimon frowned and thought, and made an "eight" sign with his little hand to support his chin, his head was running rapidly, and finally an idea flashed, and he shouted happily: "Yes! Hmm!"

The little mascot reacted and smiled sheepishly at Kuda and Hirakawa who were looking at the sound, indicating that he was fine. Then he lay on Ying's shoulder, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "You can ask Tianfeng for help! He... …He will have a very high status on Haizhi Island in the near future, so it will be no problem to ask him to help us find him!”

"...Pamon is so smart!"

Ying almost laughed out loud, gave Paimon a thumbs up, and praised him highly.

"Hehe, he's not that smart."

The little mascot is very humble.

I don't know what Tian Feng's expression is now... Ying quietly glanced at the bracelet on her wrist, her golden eyes full of smiles. The corners of her lips curled up, and she suddenly sensed something. She raised her head and looked forward, her eyebrows suddenly raised.

I saw a group of people dressed as treasure thieves with their faces covered by the bridge ahead, holding swords and looking at their group of people with malicious intent.

"Is there a treasure thief group next to the Coral Palace?"

Ying was quite surprised, and several words that Chen Tianfeng had said in their chats came to mind, including "dark under the lamp", "there are many demons at the foot of Lingshan Mountain", and "the brighter the light, the darker it becomes."

Pingchuan had a sullen face. He hadn't returned to Haiji Island for many years and didn't know the specific situation. At this moment, he just felt ridiculous and embarrassed - he had said so many good things about the Coral Palace in front of the traveler along the way, but now he was at the gate of the Coral Palace. A treasure-stealing group jumped out before?

Kuta's face turned red at first, then turned dark, and veins jumped on his forehead. He took a step forward, his left arm still wrapped in a bandage, and his right hand pressed on the handle of the knife. The evil aura from the battlefield was revealed, and he stared at these treasure thieves like an evil tiger: "You bastards! Who are you!"

The leader of the group of treasure thieves was not afraid at all. He stared back, pulled out his long knife with a clang, and said with a sneer: "Brothers held a banquet, but no one came. I thought it would be fate to meet them, so I invited a few of them to follow. I'm leaving! It's best not to resist, otherwise it will be unlucky to see blood!"

"The accounts of kidnapping and robbery by the treasure thieves on Kaiji Island are different from other places. It's really amazing."

Ying sighed in a low voice, very calmly.

Naturally, these treasure-stealing groups are not really treasure-stealing groups. They are most likely disguised by a certain force on Haiji Island in order to rob "outsiders" like them, or to seize secrets, or to travel through thunderstorms. Methods.

This situation is normal. Haiji Island has been blocked for such a long time, so naturally it is impossible to be united. All kinds of hidden snakes and insects...well, hidden monsters and monsters will pop out and compete to cause chaos.

Thinking about the appearance of the divine witch, Coral Palace's heart has already been exhausted, right?

"Haha, you are still in the mood to joke. It seems that you are that amazing traveler."

The leader of the thieves smiled coldly, raised his palm, and was about to give orders to all go forward to kill the soldier first, and then capture the old, young, and young people together.

"sieve--!"

The sound of arrows piercing the air suddenly sounded.

The thief's expression changed slightly, and he immediately turned around, kicked away the men blocking his way, turned the long knife in his hand, and slashed downwards.

"drink!"

"boom!"

The long knife hit the arrow without missing a beat, sending it flying and falling to the ground diagonally. Only then did the other gangsters see the arrows covered with a layer of bright yellow crystals, which were gradually dispersing.

"Who did I think he was? It turned out to be a good dog raised by Coral Palace Xinhai."

The leader of the thieves, Takeshima, spat, sneered at Goro who was standing on the bridge holding a long bow, and taunted him.

"How dare you reveal your identity if you hide your head and show your tail!"

Wulang ignored his provocation and waved his hand. The rebel team he brought with them had their swords unsheathed or their spears pointed at an angle, trying to surround these "treasure thieves" and eat them whole.

"Why don't you dare!"

Takeshima shouted loudly, took out a handful of Thunder Fire Beads from his arms, and threw them at the oncoming rebels.

"Boom boom boom!"

Amidst the explosion of thunder, heavy rain, small smoke and thick smoke, Takeshima turned around and ran away. Everyone under his command was also very skilled. They were ready to escape when Takeshima shouted, but no one was left behind.

Identify themselves? Innocent!

If he really wanted to reveal his identity, wouldn't his disguise be in vain?

Takeshima sneered in his heart, and for some reason suddenly looked back, and happened to meet the traveler's golden eyes. He felt uneasy for some reason, as if his disguise had been seen through by her.

Ying glanced at Zhudao who was escaping, and after thinking about it, he felt that he would encounter them again in the future, and that there was something worth using, so he did not take action and let these "treasure thieves" go for the time being.

"Ahem! What a cunning enemy!"

Wulang coughed twice and wanted to use his tail to disperse the smoke, but because of the general's face, he had to hold back. However, his nose was several times more sensitive to smells than ordinary people, and the smoke was pungent and unpleasant, making him quite uncomfortable. He quickly held his breath, took two quick steps out of the smoke, came to the front of the group of people, and then quietly relaxed. Take a breath.

"Kuda, Uncle Hirakawa!"

He first greeted his two acquaintances, then straightened his face and saluted her solemnly: "Thank you for your willingness to lend a helping hand when Haiji Island is in danger and for taking the trouble to send the resistance soldiers home! On behalf of Haiji Island, I would like to From all of us at Gejima, we would like to express our gratitude to you, Mr. Traveler!”

Wulang's expression was serious, and he seemed to be a general who didn't hold back his smile. However, the animal ears flicking on his head and the tail wagging behind him gave him away.

Ying pinched her chin and looked at the Inu Admiral in front of her. For some reason, she felt that the words didn't seem like something he could have thought of - the original meaning remained the same, but the words of thanks should not be his.

"It's been many years, Wulang, you've really changed a lot!"

Pingchuan clicked his tongue in surprise, looked him around, nodded and praised: "Not bad, not bad! Wulang, you have grown up."

Kuta looked a little weird and hesitated for a few seconds: "Boss Goro, did you come up with this by yourself?"

"Of course Lord Coral Palace taught me!"

Wulang answered without hesitation, flicked his animal ears, looked at Ying, patted his chest and said: "Traveller, if you encounter any difficulties on Haiji Island, just come to me! I will definitely try my best to help you solve it! "

"Thanks."

Ying nodded politely, feeling that this kind of gratitude and commitment was consistent with the appearance of this canine general.

"Kyuta, thank you for your hard work during this time."

Goro patted Kuta's arm and said guiltily: "I shouldn't have come back, or I should have brought my brothers back with me, so that you don't have to suffer outside."

"Boss Wulang..."

His eyes turned red, and his heart was full of self-blame, and he wanted to tell everything that happened during this period.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it on the way."

Wulang raised his hand to stop him and said: "Master Coral Palace is waiting for us at Coral Palace. It's better to set off quickly without delay."

the other side,

Takeshima reported the situation to Ishikura Yushi.

"Goro, it's Goro again!"

Ishikura Yuzhi looked ugly, walked around for a few steps, and suddenly stopped: "No! Hirakawa must have brought back very important information, and we can't let Coral Palace Xinhai take it all!"

His expression changed again and again, and he finally made up his mind and looked at Takedao: "Contact several other companies and go to the Coral Palace together to put pressure on the heart of the Coral Palace!"

"yes!"
