The Homeless Man of Teyvat

Coral Palace,

Ying and Paimon walked into the center of political power on this sea island and met the living goddess shrine maiden, Coral Palace Heart Sea, whom Yae Shenzi mentioned many times.

Perhaps under the influence of Chen Tianfeng, the first moment he saw the witch lady, he naturally looked into her eyes. Gradient pink, her eyes are soft and tranquil, seeming weak and harmless, like a beautiful fish swimming in the ocean. But if you look carefully, you will notice the depth beneath this softness and tranquility.

But it is also normal. Anyone who regards Coral Palace Heart Sea as a harmless ornamental fish will fall into the trap of the miko at some point, abandoning his armor and losing heavily.

Previously, even though the Inazuma shogunate was corrupt, and the three factions had their own plans and were holding each other back, the Inazuma shogunate was still several times larger than the Kaijijima Coral Palace. To be able to lead Kaijijima and the shogunate to barely reach a "evenly matched" situation under this situation is enough to show that this living goddess miko is not an easy character to deal with.

Ying smiled and nodded to Coral Palace Xinhai, raised her eyes, and noticed the pair of purple-blue "fins" on the long pink hair of the miko, and couldn't help but think of a certain Liyue girl.

I don't know if her "fins" are also "hair accessories"... Ying guessed, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

Coral Palace Xinhai felt inexplicably uncomfortable under Ying's gaze, as if these golden eyes could see through obstacles. No matter how many true or false disguises she made, it had no effect. In her eyes, she was all naked and had no secrets.

What a strange feeling... Coral Palace Xinhai muttered a few words in his heart, but it didn't show anything on the surface. After some polite but ineffective greetings, everyone sat down and started to get down to business.

Pingchuan looked around, and after confirming that all the other people had left and that only six people present knew about today's words, he took a breath and spoke slowly: "Lord Coral Palace, we got an extremely important person in Inazuma City. News. The god of the people of Coral Palace, our great sea god, has the possibility of resurrection!"

He looked quite solemn, but found that the expressions of Coral Palace Xinhai and Wulang were not as shocked or excited as he thought, but rather strangely calm. Especially Wu Lang, who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Hirakawa thought for a moment, suddenly realized, and emphasized: "This is not a rumor that was spread wildly by Ine-sama some time ago, but a real secret news!"

He didn't wait for Coral Palace Xinhai and Wulang to answer, and told in detail everything he had experienced while waiting for the undercover, including the news they had finally obtained.

The Demon God Orobas, the great sea god of Kaiji Island, does have hope of resurrection.

Thousands of years ago, Orobas was beheaded by Narukami and died on Hachi Island. But what the world doesn't know is that Orobas still has a residual consciousness, attached to a divine corpse somewhere. For the devil, with incomplete consciousness, there is a chance of resurrection.

As long as Kaiji Island retrieves this divine skeleton and holds a ceremony to provide the divine skeleton with the power of faith, Kaiji Island can be restored, and the Great God of Kaiji can return to protect Kaiji Island and the people of Coral Palace!

Today, this divine skeleton with residual consciousness is hiding in the secret realm of the Snake God's Head, waiting for the people of the Coral Palace.

"Contrary to the rumors, what the Eighth Palace Secretary brought back from overseas was not a real divine skeleton, but an imitation of the divine skeleton that took a hundred years to create. Its only purpose was to explore the location of the real divine skeleton. According to Yaegomiya, the real reason for the war between the shogunate and the Coral Palace is that the gods of our Kaiji Island are not really dead yet.”

"So, she has been carefully preparing for hundreds of years in order to completely wipe out the vitality of the Great God of the Sea! In a hundred years, it is likely that not only imitations of the divine skeleton will be created, but also things that can truly erase the consciousness of the god. "

"Lord Coral Palace, although we have disguised ourselves, the Yae Palace Secretary may see through the confusion at any time and notice the leakage of the plan. At that time, the shogunate will definitely take action in advance and try to destroy the divine skeleton. Lord Coral Palace, we must be ahead of them. We cannot let the shogunate succeed in bringing the remains of the Great God of Kaiji back to Kaiji Island!"

Pingchuan spoke sincerely and looked serious. He raised his hand decisively and swore: "The Great God of the Sea is above, and the people of Coral Palace, Pingchuan, hereby swear that what I have just told is my personal experience and is absolutely not false. If there is any violation, I will Let my body of flesh and blood be transformed into holy soil and turn into coral!”

Kuta was shocked by the news told by Hirakawa and was stunned. When he heard Hirakawa's oath, he was startled and his lips moved but he did not speak.

Without him, he was the only one among the six people present who attended the meeting and had no right to speak.

"Uncle Pingchuan!"

Wulang was also startled and said quickly: "We will definitely not doubt you. This oath is too strong. Take it back quickly!"

"There is no reason to take back the oaths I have given. Although I am not from Liyue, nor did I swear to the God of Rocks. There is no need to say that "those who break their promises shall be punished by eating rocks", but I also understand that oaths cannot be easily changed or violated. ”

Pingchuan shook his head with a determined expression. He looked at Coral Palace Xinhai and said in a deep voice: "Lord Coral Palace, Haiji Island is in trouble now. Only by resurrecting the Great God of Haiji will we have the capital to survive."

In Teyvat, a country without the protection of gods would be fine if nothing happens, but once swept by a storm, these godless countries will soon be torn to pieces.

Coral Palace Xinhai naturally understood this truth. She rubbed her brows and was reluctant to make a decision.

Kaiji Island was blocked by a thunderstorm and was about to be destroyed by Narukami's wrath. But at this moment, a way to resurrect the Great God of the Sea suddenly appeared, and along with it, there was also a traveler who could take people through thunderstorms... How could this not make people suspicious?

Everything was too coincidental, just like a person who fell off a cliff and was trembling on a fragile branch, daring not to make the slightest move, when a seemingly solid and reliable vine suddenly appeared in front of him.

No one knows what will happen if you grab the vines and climb along the way.

Maybe the vines didn't want to look so strong, and broke off before they climbed halfway, causing people to completely fall into the abyss; maybe the vines were deliberately released, just waiting for Haizhijima to climb up and fall into a trap that had been laid for a long time; maybe There is no problem with the vines, but when Haiji Island climbs up the cliff with all his strength, who can be sure that thunder will not suddenly fall from the sky and smash Haiji Island, the vines and the cliff together?

Coral Gong Xinhai clasped his hands silently, raised his head and glanced at Ying, and when he saw her smiling and nodding, he responded with the same smile, but sighed again in his heart.

But except for this vine that suddenly appeared, the only thing left in the Coral Palace on Kaiji Island was to wait silently for death.

Hajijima has no choice.

"I……"

Just as Coral Palace Xinhai was about to speak, there was a sudden noise outside. She raised her eyebrows slightly and winked at Wulang.

Goro nodded, stood up and pushed the door open. Although his expression could not be seen from the back, from the behavior of his tail, one could guess how serious the canine general looked at this moment.

Not long after, Goro returned and bowed his hands to Coral Palace Xinhai: "Lord Coral Palace, it's Ishikura Yushi and the others."

"Ishikura Yushi...what are they doing here?"

Coral Palace Xinhai narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Pingchuan, and said thoughtfully: "Is it for Pingchuan?"

"That's right."

Wu Lang nodded and said: "Those families came, shouting something like they have the right to know the situation in the outside world, but my personal guards blocked them outside. Mr. Coral Island, do you want to drive them all away?"

"Who are you talking about Yushi Ishikura?"

Ying suddenly spoke up, interrupting the exchange between the two, and seemed a little curious: "And 'those' families, what happened to them?"

"..."

Coral Palace Xinhai pursed her lips, followed her intuition, and did not hide anything: "Ishikura Yushi and the others... are considered the main war faction. All along, these families or small forces, vaguely headed by Ishikura Yushi, have insisted on refusing to integrate into Inazuma. We call on the public not to forget the hatred between Kaijijima and Inazuma, and always think about using war to carry out so-called revenge.”

"The main fighting faction..."

Ying nodded, thought of something, looked at Coral Palace Xinhai, and said with a smile: "So, Miss Xinhai is the leader of the peace faction?"

Coral Palace Xinhai hesitated for two seconds and nodded: "You can say that."

"Then what they said makes sense. The main war faction plus the main peace faction are a complete force. They naturally have the right to know the information."

Ying's smile remained unchanged, calm and elegant: "What do you think, Miss Xinhai?"

Coral Palace's heart paused slightly, many thoughts popped up in his mind quickly, and then disappeared quickly. He only felt that there was a glimmer of light that was close at hand, but he couldn't catch it. She looked deeply at the screen, took a breath, and smiled peacefully: "You are right, they have the right to know the truth."

She turned her gaze to Goro, nodded and said, "Goro, please come in, Mr. Ishikura."

"Lord Coral Palace?" Wulang looked stunned.

"Go ahead."

"……yes."

Kuda and Hirakawa looked at each other. Although they couldn't understand what happened, what happened next was obviously not something they could participate in. The two hesitated for a few seconds, looked at each other again, stood up at the same time, asked Coral Palace Xinhai to excuse themselves and left.

Coral Palace's heart didn't hold back. After watching the two of them leave, he turned his attention to Ying and Paimon. His tone was soft and not flirtatious, which was very pleasant: "To be honest with you two, I also had the idea of ​​leaving Ina Wife to travel around the world. It's a pity that If you have enough heart but not enough strength, you can’t even start.”

She sighed as she spoke, with a longing look in her gradient eyes, and chuckled: "But fortunately, there are many amazing people like you in Teyvat, who travel the continent and record their travels. All along, I have read these Travel notes to see many beautiful places.”

"That's it..." Ying thought for a while and said, "I took a lot of photos during the trip, all of them are beautiful natural scenery. Although it is a little different from seeing it in person, it may be more accurate than the description in words."

As she spoke, she took out a dozen photos from the bracelet, handed them to Coral Palace Xinhai, and said with a smile: "I gave them to you."

"Thanks!"

The joy in Coral Palace Xinhai's eyes didn't seem to be fake. He took the photo and turned it over, seemingly unintentionally saying: "There doesn't seem to be a scene of Rice Wife here?"

"I thought Miss Coral Palace must have seen the scenery of Rice Wife, so I didn't take it."

"I see. By the way, have you seen any unforgettable scenery since you came to Inazuma?"

"Yes, and quite a few."

Ying looked at Coral Palace Xinhai, who was spinning around and trying to formulate words, and remembered Yae Kamiko's description and evaluation of her, and smiled naturally: "For example, the quiet and mysterious guarding forest, the tall and majestic Thousand Arms and Hundred Eyes Statue, and Narukami Taisha Shrine The unbeatable sacred cherry blossoms in the middle are all impressive.”

Thousands of Hands and Hundreds of Eyes, Narukami Grand Shrine, Divine Sakura Tree... Coral Palace Xinhai lowered his eyes and repeated these words silently. The aura in his heart seemed to be clearer, but he still couldn't see it clearly, only a few or two were blurred. thoughts.

"Lord Coral Palace, he is here."

Goro led Ishikura Yushi back and saluted the Coral Palace Heart Sea. He glanced around and didn't see Hirakawa or Kuda. He felt a little confused, but didn't ask anything.

Ying glanced at the old man who came with Wulang, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Lord Coral Palace!"

Yushi Ishikura bowed in a cursory manner, looked around the court, and frowned: "Where is Hirakawa?"

Why is there only one blonde traveler left?

"Mr. Ishikura, what are you doing with Hirakawa?"

Coral Palace Xinhai's tone was calm, Goro did not sit down, but stood aside, with a knife hanging on his waist at some point, staring at Yushi Ishikura expressionlessly.

This hateful mad dog... Yushi Ishikura's face twitched, feeling both resentful and envious, but his attitude was no longer casual. He didn't mention what he thought in his heart, but he finally showed respect on the surface.

"Lord Coral Palace, didn't you agree to let me know the truth?" He was a little nervous: "Isn't it because you regretted it?"

Maybe she not only regrets it, but also wants to let this mad dog who only listens to her words bite him to death - the situation in Haiji Island is becoming more and more urgent, and no one is sure that Coral Palace Xinhai will not go crazy.

Ishikura Yuzhi regretted a little, he should have brought a few more people together just now.

"Of course not, but knowing the truth does not require Pingchuan's presence."

Coral Palace Xinhai shook his head and looked at Ying: "This is the traveler who quelled the dragon disaster and suppressed the demonic tide in Mondstadt...and her partner, Paimon."

Noticing Paimeng's eyes, Coral Palace Xinhai paused, completed Paimon's introduction, turned back and said: "They have noble status, noble conduct, and know everything. With these two adults here, Shicang Don’t worry, sir, that I will lie to you.”

"...I can trust Mr. Coral Palace."

Ishikura Yushi cupped his hands and rolled his eyes: "However, I haven't seen Mr. Hirakawa for a long time, and I miss him a lot... Coral Palace-sama won't stop us from chatting in private, right?"

"It's up to you, I have no reason to stop Mr. Ishikura's normal invitation and chat." Coral Palace pointed out.

"Don't worry, Lord Coral Palace."

Yushi Ishikura heard the hidden meaning, relaxed a little, and smiled: "Please tell Mr. Coral Palace about the news Mr. Hirakawa brought back and how they passed through the thunderstorm."

Since Coral Palace Xinhai didn't stop him from looking for Pingchuan, it meant that she really planned to tell her the news... It's really strange, why did she suddenly become so generous?

Ishikura Yushi thought about it, secretly became vigilant, and decided to go to Hirakawa to verify whatever Coral Palace Shinkai said.

As for whether Pingchuan will cooperate... Well, Pingchuan is an honest man and has a quick temper. Even if he refuses to cooperate, he can tell the truth of the news after a few test sentences.
