Chapter 707: Scared Pirates, Entering the Outlying Island, Local Snake

Ying and Paimon hid in the cabin, drowsy.

"Why haven't we reached Inazuma yet?" Paimon yawned.

"Almost there, almost there..." What I always wait for is the sailor's words.

The turbulence on the sea is enough to make people who are not used to it feel seasick and vomit all over the floor.

The incessant thunder can make people unable to rest well at night and cause them to develop phobia of the deep sea and thunderstorms.

Jiang Yi was sitting at the bow of the boat, getting caught in the rain.

Huge waves hit my body and thunder flashed over my head.

Beidou deployed a shield of lightning element on his body and looked into the distance.

"Yandora, it's time to try the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering and become a spirit that controls thunder." Jiang Yi looked at Yandora, who had grown a size larger than before.

"No way! This is impossible." Yandora felt her body tingling and electric currents running through her.

Jiang Yi was naturally just joking.

"The wind and waves have subsided." Yandora looked into the distance.

"Yes!" Jiang Yi has already smelled Inazuma's wind.

A few more hours.

"Ying, Paimon, come out quickly!" Beidou shouted.

Ying and Paimeng walked out of the cabin, and a ray of rosy clouds appeared in the sky. As the ship sailed, the thunderstorm and waves disappeared, and under the misty drizzle, more and more rosy clouds appeared, one beam after another, shining down from the sea of ​​clouds, which was extremely mysterious and beautiful.

"At this point, we have broken through the thunderstorm off the coast of Inazuma." Beidou put his hands on his waist, "The rest of the way is safe for the Southern Cross Fleet."

Jiang Yi understood the hidden meaning of Beidou's words and looked into the distance.

As the fleet sailed, he saw many ships swimming like fish in the sea.

"Is there anyone else who can help us break through the thunderstorm?" Paimon asked curiously.

Ying looked at the boats and felt something was wrong.

"Those are pirates." Wan Ye held the knife, "Inazuma is in chaos and pirates are rampant. For ordinary cargo ships, the first danger they encounter after breaking through the thunderstorm is pirate looting."

"But don't worry..." Beidou continued, "Once our fleet is out, they won't dare to get close. If they really get close... humph!"

She snorted coldly: "Then let them see the crossbow I refitted in Liyue after returning this time!"

"Pirates?" Jiang Yi held onto the railing, hoping that they were civilian pirates rather than government bandits.

When the pirates over there saw the mighty fleet and the many crossbows on the ships that were displayed in a show of force, they began to retreat as expected.

The pirate ship was moving very fast and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

But on the subsequent voyage, new pirates would occasionally covet the area from afar.

In their spare time, they would disguise themselves as fishing boats and catch a few fish. When they had the chance, they would board cargo ships and rob them.

For them, it has been a long time since Inazuma closed the country, and the ships that may have broken through the thunderstorm are obviously not easy to deal with. Especially this fleet can be easily identified as Liyue's "Southern Cross" fleet. At the first sight, the pirates fled like a frightened school of fish.

Since it is difficult to do business externally, it is natural for them to continue to rob internally.

Some people who overestimate their own abilities and want to escape from Inazuma's existence are also very rich.

If possible, you can accept official rewards and capture those holders of the Eye of God who fled to the sea.

There is even more business in the inland sea.

The Eternal Kingdom of Inazuma is not a complete continent, but an island country composed of many large and small islands.

"The outlying island is ahead." After passing through the thunderstorm and sailing for a few days, everyone saw the mountains and islands at the end of the sea and sky.

The sunset glowed red, and the evening wind blew the sails of the Death Star.

The outlying islands ahead were covered in maple forests that were all ablaze red, and the green-tiled wooden houses and torii towers were majestic purple.

Many fishing boats docked at the port, but they were all Inazuma people, not outsiders.

A long purple vertical flag was fluttering, and a tall fox statue stood at the landing point, carrying a ring-shaped divine wheel on its back. The divine wheel was composed of five circles engraved with thunder elements, and the thunder elements were in the shape of three magatama.

There were soldiers from Inazuma wearing black armor with a purple background, holding spears and standing at the port.

Farther away, the island was a lavender color. Those were the cherry blossom-like trees that were affected by the element of lightning, and the flowers were in full bloom.

The buildings are high and stacked one upon another.

The misty sea of ​​clouds obscured the high mountains of Inazuma. The mountains were steep and reached the clouds, with the top shining with purple light. The color of the trees gradually changed from green at the foot of the mountain to purple-red at the top.

Jiang Yi had very good eyesight and could see rocks floating high in the sky, circling the mountains.

Wan Ye put down the leaf flute he was playing and said, "Due to my status, I won't see you off. I hope that we can find meaning in our respective journeys. Come on!"

He waved to Ying and Jiang Yi in a casual manner, then turned and hid in the cabin.

Ying, Jiang Yi and Paimeng bid farewell to him.

Yandora got into the transparent water bottle on Jiang Yi's waist, turned into a stream of water, hid herself and observed the outside world.

The island was getting closer and closer. Ying and Paimon held onto the railing of the boat, staring with wide eyes, looking out in amazement and joy.

quickly,

The "Death Star" came ashore, spreading clear sea water.

The sea water sparkles, reflecting the sunset.

Jiang Yi, Ying, Paimeng and Beidou get off the boat.

The sky was purple and red, the setting sun was hanging over the sea, there were the cries of seagulls and seabirds, and the sound of the tide.

Walking on the narrow wooden bridge, there are ropes, wooden boxes, barrels piled up around you... and next to them are wooden boats.

Ying and Paimon looked around and followed Beidou.

Jiang Yi looked at the fish stall not far away and the purple fruits on the boxes.

A man sat on a wooden box, supporting the box under his thigh with one hand and tossing a golden Mora with the other, looking lost in boredom.

Blonde hair, green eyes, and short black horns on his forehead.

The clothes were black and red, with ropes wrapped around them, and a necklace pendant hung around the neck.

He suddenly came back to his senses and saw the arrival of the Southern Cross Fleet and the Death Star, as well as the Beidou people who got off the ship.

He jumped off the box and trotted quickly to the front of the crowd.

"Isn't it a bit like Amber's appearance?" Jiang Yi smiled and sent a message to Ying's consciousness.

Ying looked at the other person's cyan pants and brown boots, and frowned: "Not at all!"

The other party has already started talking: "Finally you're here, the 'Big Sister of Liyue'. You've kept me waiting for so long."

He had a very sunny and handsome smile and raised his hand to greet.

"And these three stowaways...oh no, distinguished guests."

The words were teasing, but not infuriating.

"Shh!" Paimon looked around nervously, especially at the Inazuma soldiers patrolling over there.

Ying also shook her head and frowned to indicate that she should speak more quietly.

Jiang Yi smiled.

What do you mean by smuggling? I came here honestly.

"It's all because of your General. The thunderstorms and waves off the coast of Inazuma have been even stronger than before..." Beidou said helplessly, "Although my fleet performed very well, it still delayed us for some time."

"Oh, by the way." She turned around and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Thomas, a business partner I've just gotten to know."

Thomas raised his hand and greeted everyone, "Yo! I've been looking forward to meeting you all."

"Hello, Mr. Thomas." Jiang Yi and Ying nodded.

"These three..."

Beidou was about to introduce him, but Thomas smiled and waved his hand, "No need for introductions. The reputation of a foreign traveler is so great that even the storms in the open sea cannot stop it. It has long been known to everyone."

"Thank you!" Jiang Yi and Ying said modestly.

"You speak so nicely, hehe!" Paimon put his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes, and looked very happy.

To praise Ying is to praise her.

"Well, this is convenient." Beidou said, "Ying, Jiang Yi, Thomas has been hanging around in the outlying island for a long time. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is the local boss here. If you have any difficulties, just look for him..."

"If he has bad intentions towards you..." She paused, "Okay! It seems there is no need to worry."

Jiang Yi's strength is enough to put a sack on Inazuma.

Thomas scratched his head. "Hahaha, you're right. I can't do anything to the two great heroes of Mondstadt and Liyue."

"No!... I think we should get along very well." His smile was so friendly that even the cats holding fish in their mouths couldn't help but look at him.

Beidou looked at the sky and whispered to Ying and Jiang Yi, "It's about time. After all, there's a 'wanted criminal' hiding on my ship, so it's not convenient for me to stay for long."

Paimon nodded, knowing that the "wanted criminal" referred to Manye.

"See you next time, the three of you. No matter what storms you encounter in Inazuma, you must get through it well! I hope that next time I come, I can see you all safe and sound." Beidou waved.

"Looking forward to seeing you next time." Ying responded.

"Bye, and bon voyage, Captain Beidou." Paimon waved.

"Goodbye!" Jiang Yi said with a smile.

Beidou boarded the Death Star, sold some goods to disguise the purpose of the journey and left.

"I'm in a foreign country again!" Jiang Yi listened to the common language of Teyvat and the Inazuma language in his ears.

For him now, there is no need to understand the other party's language when communicating with consciousness.

However, the language of Teyvat involves writing, so you still have to learn it on a regular basis.

The genius Ying naturally also mastered the writing and language of Inazuma.

"You guys want to stay at Inazuma," Thomas said, "Then go to the inspection station and register first."

Jiang Yi could hear many Inazuma residents around him pointing and talking about this place. The two people's clothes and the flying Paimon were indeed quite conspicuous.

At first glance, he looks like a foreigner.

"Hey, are we going to face Inazuma's official personnel directly? Didn't we say we should do it secretly..." Paimon asked in confusion.

"Haha, don't underestimate the 'lockdown order'. We can't avoid identity checks." Thomas took the lead and walked forward, "So we have to behave properly... and do the unruly things."

Jiang Yi walked behind, admiring the surrounding scenery.

"Paimon, you are flying here so brazenly. Anyone in Inazuma who has read the newspaper can recognize you. You don't have any disguise at all. Is this what you call sneaky?" he teased.

"Uh..." Paimon looked at himself and Ying, who never changed her clothes.

"Haha, don't worry." Thomas said in front, "Ordinary residents can't get any information from the outside world after the country is locked down, so it's hard for most of them to recognize you. However, your clothes will tell you're a foreigner at a glance."

Jiang Yi nodded and said to Ying: "We will have to deal with the Inazuma executives sooner or later. This rule of identity is just a courtesy to each other."

When Ying heard Jiang Yi say this, her nervous heart relaxed a little.
