Chapter 778 Fantasy Sea Island, Questioning the Coral Palace

The ship docked at the island's port and everyone went ashore.

"Wow!" Paimon looked at the island in amazement.

There are dense plants on Haizhi Island with strange colors: purple, blue, red, green... some are luminous, some are not.

There are sacred rocks with ropes, big trees, and a leisurely fishing village with fishing nets drying in the sun.

The wooden houses have purple tile eaves and are scattered at different heights. In front of the doors are blue-glowing land corals, like lovely deer antlers.

The glowing duckweed-like flowers and plants, the magnificent reefs, the huge pink shells embedded in the cliffs, the pink shells growing on the rocks, and the magnificent palaces all look fantastic and magnificent.

The shell is so big that ten, a hundred, or even a thousand people can stand on it.

Haizhi Island is surrounded by rocks on all sides, with layers of rocks piled high, and the entire center is like a sunken valley. Countless waterfalls flow down from the rocks and converge into this depression, forming waters, beaches, and a deep lake.

"The waterfall drops three thousand feet straight down, as if the Milky Way falls from the sky. If you look at the waterfall from below, it must be very beautiful." Jiang Yi walked on this island that seemed to rise from the deep sea, admiring the beautiful scenery.

In the huge depression inside Haizhi Island, thick rock pillars stand up, as if supporting a number of small floating islands, which are connected to each other by wooden suspension bridges.

Viewed from above, the islands appear like curved circles, separated by land and water, and surrounded by each other.

The outermost side is the green of the mountain rock vegetation, the inner side is the purple of the floating island vegetation and rocks, the blue of the water, and the pink of the high floating island on the westernmost side.

The pink shells are like huge petals, half-open, wrapping a palace as the pistil.

In the air, there were glowing water bubbles and elemental creatures like jellyfish floating and dancing.

The pearls are shining and full of preciousness.

The group passed by shrines and torii gates, and first came to an ancient village called "Wanglong Village".

Legend has it that the ancestors of the residents of this village came from the sea.

Now...if the Coral Palace located in the center of the island is the base camp for fighting against the Eye Hunting Order, then this is the important stronghold for those who raise the flag of resistance to the "Eye Hunting Order", the military camp of Haizhi Island.

"This is the training camp for our Kaiji Island army. Most of the current resistance forces are made up of native soldiers from Kaiji Island." Teppei introduced Ying, Paimon and Jiang Yi, "Some are fighting the shogunate army head-on in Tadashi Sand, and some are staying on Kaiji Island to protect the safety of the people."

Although Kaijima was located in the rear area of ​​the country, it was often harassed by the shogunate army and wandering samurai. The enemies came by boat at night and launched sneak attacks in thick fog, making it difficult to defend against.

"Did Zheping train here before?" Paimon asked.

"Yeah, but unfortunately I have to go to Takanashi to fight before I can get full approval from the instructor. I can only help out a little in the logistics department..." Zheping smiled bitterly, "I will stay here for the time being. If you want to find me, just come here. If I'm not here, you can write a note and stick it on a nearby wall. I'll find you when I see it..."

He checked the time and said, "We can't be late for our appointment with Master Coral Palace. I'll take you to Coral Palace first, and then I'll take you to visit Haizhi Island next time."

"Okay!" Jiang Yi nodded.

Ying and Paimeng looked at Jiang Yi and knew what he was going to do.

Paimon suddenly felt a little flustered: "I hope I won't be kicked out as soon as I get to the island."

The three followed Teppei across the long suspension bridge and headed for the Coral Palace wrapped in huge shells in the center of the island.

It is the residence of the "living god and priestess" of Haizhi Island, the political center and religious gathering place of the residents of Haizhi Island.

Pink shells are inlaid to form a unique staircase on the cliff for people to move forward. As they go up step by step, they can see the purple torii with shell pearls hanging in the center and the magnificent palace.

The Miko of Kaijima with a white top and blue skirt, and the soldiers of Kaijima with brown and white armor were walking back and forth and guarding in front of the Coral Palace.

There is a turquoise pool with shells and corals in it. A marble arch bridge leads to the front of the palace, which is surrounded by marble waves that look like auspicious clouds, located on both sides of the palace and the pool.

The purple and green trees and small vegetation are different from other islands.

Jiang Yi looked forward and saw Coral Palace Xinhai talking to a soldier from Haizhi Island.

"No matter what, food and fodder are of utmost importance. We cannot afford any mistakes." Coral Palace Xinhai warned, "Now that the conflict between us and the shogunate army is becoming increasingly fierce, we must prioritize ensuring stability in the rear."

"Yes. I'll think of a solution..." Okubo Daisuke nodded.

"Don't worry. With the previous batch of supplies, I am also working on expanding the army." Coral Palace Xinhai was not prepared to put too much pressure on the soldier. "Thank you for your hard work when we were short of manpower. The situation should get better in the future."

Upon hearing this, Okubo Daisuke said excitedly: "Expanding the army? That's great. Although I don't know who is funding us behind the scenes this time, it really helps a lot..."

He heard footsteps and caught a glimpse of several figures out of the corner of his eye.

"Eh? Isn't this Teppei? Have you returned to Kaijima? Who are these people..."

Jiang Yi originally wanted to wait for Coral Palace Xinhai to finish talking to someone, but Zheping brought them here directly, which made him feel a little rude.

After all, it's better to use courtesy before force.

What he was about to do could not be described as "friendly".

"Hehe! These are guests of Lord Coral Palace. I am responsible for bringing them back to Kaiji Island." Teppei said with a smile.

Okubo Daisuke looked at Jiang Yi, who had an extraordinary demeanor, and Ying.

"Oh? Could it be the one who was revered as a 'god' in the rumored past, who protected the refugees in Himuk Village? I'm so sorry, so sorry."

"I will never forget your help to our resistance army." He expressed his gratitude to Jiang Yi and then looked at Ying.

"Also, this person... must be the new guy in the recent military rumors...who has immense strength, can shoot arrows through a hundred steps, and is indestructible?"

“???” Ying felt that this description was better for Jiang Yi.

"Why is there such a rumor?" Paimon thought it was ridiculous.

But when I think about it, it actually makes some sense.

Many times, when Jiang Yi gets hurt, Ying won't get hurt.

What is this Jiang Yi boasting about, the real indestructible body?

Haha! When she thought of this, she wanted to put her hands on her hips.

"You two have come from afar, most likely for important matters. I won't bother you any more. You can come and sit with me when you are free later." Okubo Daisuke was very considerate. "Then Lord Coral Palace, I will take my leave first."

He turned and left.

"Lord Coral Palace, I just seemed to hear Brother Okubo say something about 'funding', what is that?" Teppei wondered.

"Not long ago, someone wrote to me, saying that they were willing to support the resistance of Kaijima and sent a large amount of supplies." Coral Palace Xinhai smiled, "Thanks to this, we can finally recruit soldiers and fight against the shogunate army on the front battlefield."

"It's like pie falling from the sky." Jiang Yi complained in a low voice.

"Hmm?" Coral Palace Xinhai looked at Jiang Yi.

“Is it really reliable?” Ying also felt it was strange, especially after hearing about the involvement of the Fatui in Jiang Yi’s war with his wife.

Coral Palace Xinhai said: "I know you are worried. I also have doubts about this... But Haizhi Island is not rich, and this amount of supplies is indeed a timely help."

"I checked it, and there are no dangerous items inside. The other party's request is not excessive, just asking us to do our best to fight against the shogunate army."

She said, "No matter what their purpose is, at least we are in agreement on this point, so let's just treat it as an unseen ally."

"Of course, we can't completely let our guard down. If you notice anything unusual, please tell me immediately."

We have indeed been careful enough. Jiang Yi nodded. Before the other party was exposed, these flawless supplies could not be used as evidence for questioning.

He came here to talk about spies today, and will talk about the Fatui later, which will be more powerful.

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Jiang Yi has the power to make the land fertile and grow food instantly. If you are willing, can you become our ally?" Coral Palace Xinhai's eyes curved like the moon. "You said pie in the sky, it would be even better if this unknown pie could become known."

"Ouch!" Paimon stroked his chin, "Becoming allies..."

My Lord "The Present Human Goddess", this is a road of no return!

In case the playboy Jiang Yi sees you as a bun, this pie is even more terrible than the unknown one.

Jiang Yi's former ally, the eldest daughter of the society's magistrate, Kamisato Ayaka, I swear on my toes that she and Jiang Yi must be hiding something from me and Ying.

Paimon's wild thoughts caused Coral Palace to feel extremely strange.

"Little Paimon, have you thought of anything?" she asked.

"Nothing... nothing!" Paimon woke up suddenly and immediately shook his head and waved his hands.

Ying picked her feet awkwardly.

The corner of Jiang Yi's mouth twitched slightly. Why is Paimeng's smile becoming less and less cute?

I am ashamed to be in her company.

"Yes! If Mr. Jiang Yi is our ally, we won't have to worry about food anymore." Teppei said, "We won't even have to worry about the shogunate army."

"I'll think about it. We can talk about the alliance later." Jiang Yi said with a smile.

"Okay!" Coral Palace Xinhai nodded.

"This is a very exciting step." Zheping thought, "By the way, now that we have supplies, Lord Coral Palace, will the food on the front line also get better? When I went to the wounded camp a few days ago, those guys clamored for barbecue."

Coral Palace Xinhai had expected this: "... Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. Barbecue is provided, but no drinking is allowed."

Alcohol will cause trouble. It should not be drunk except at a celebration banquet after a great victory when there is no need to face the enemy.

"That's great!" said Zheping.

Coral Palace Xinhai sighed slightly: "It's hard for you. Since the Eye Hunting Order was issued and we started the rebellion, the meals in the army have rarely changed. I will consult with the logistics troops and make some changes in this regard."

"But our supplies are still limited. I hope you can be patient until we win."

It's really tough, Paimon thought.

"Yes! Just wait until the Eye Hunting Order ends." Teppei said with a smile, "I just don't know when it will end."

The atmosphere was slightly silent.

"I don't have an answer to this question either." Coral Palace Xinhai said, "The issuance of the Eye Hunting Order is very strange. Whether it's Tianling Fengxing or the general, their attitudes are very subtle."

"Tianling Bugyo suddenly became extremely enthusiastic about the Eye Hunting Order, and the General seemed to turn a blind eye to the war brought about by the Eye Hunting Order."

Ying looked at Jiang Yi, and the look in her eyes made Jiang Yi understand what she meant.

"Would you like to reveal some information?"

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Yi shook his head.

Coral Palace Xinhai was unaware of the exchange between Jiang Yi and Ying: "Until these puzzles are solved, the Eye Hunting Order will probably not end. I can only assure you that as long as the Eye Hunting Order is still there, we will not give up the resistance."

Her eyes, as blue as the sea with a hint of pink from shells, clearly conveyed her will to protect Kaijima and resist the shogunate, as if the sea and sky were connected.

Extend your hand solemnly.

"If you are still willing to fight with us after learning about the current situation of Kaiji Island and the resistance army, then... let's talk about the alliance."

Ying responded with the same firmness: "I won't give up."

"I said... I have something to discuss with you. I want to discuss this matter before the alliance." Jiang Yi looked around, "Let's find a quiet place and talk alone!"

Coral Palace Xinhai looked at Jiang Yi for a long time. She had a feeling that this incident would have a great impact on the alliance.

"it is good!"

"plz follow me!"

Leaving Zheping, Ying and Paimeng behind, Jiang Yi and Coral Gong Xinhai walked towards the palace.

"Huh? It's so mysterious. I don't know what Mr. Jiang Yi wants to say to Lord Coral Palace?" Zheping was curious.

Ying and Paimeng looked serious.

Inside the palace, as each text and photo was revealed, the atmosphere gradually became subtle and depressing.
