Chapter 238 Before Departure
"Xiangjun, it's time for dinner."
"Oh, you guys eat first, I'm not hungry yet."
Gu Sanqiu sat cross-legged at the bow, most of the crossbow arrows in the box beside him had been used up.
Along the way, even though the fleet had chosen a relatively safe route, there were still many sea beasts rushing over to cause damage.
If it weren't for the Death Star acting as a pioneer, and if he hadn't been able to use the power of the wind element to support the entire fleet, the ship and the people would have suffered certain damages.
However, for him personally, he had a lot of fun throwing crossbow arrows, and it also allowed him to exercise his control over the wind element over long distances.
The inspiration comes from sword flying and missile aiming systems. If he can attach spiritual wind elements to the bow and arrow, it can turn it into a super long-range attack method for himself.
For example, with just a single arrow, you can fly directly from Liyue Harbor to the Thousand Winds Temple and hit the core of the Ruins Guardian.
"But the mental strength required seems a bit high. I'll find time to go to Mondstadt when I get back and see if I can find someone to sing for money."
"Boy, go down and help."
Beidou touched Gu Sanqiu's head and said, "We are about to enter a thunderstorm area. We need to make some special treatments on some parts of the ship. You also need to put away the box of crossbows next to you."
"good."
Gu Sanqiu stood up and stretched for a while, then quickly joined a small team led by Chong Zuo and maximized their work efficiency to ensure that the fleet would not be destroyed by astronomical phenomena when passing through the thunderstorm sea.
Boom!
The roaring sound continued, and Gu Sanqiu covered the lightning with his hands, not forcing himself to look directly at the electric light of the lightning snake in the sky.
If it was just an ordinary weather phenomenon, he could just stand there with a shield and a steel needle in hand. He would definitely not be killed by the sword, and at most he would have to lie down for half a month.
But this thunderstorm was cast by the Pure Land Housegirl. It was a "seal" against the entire Inazuma. It was much more powerful than an ordinary thunderstorm.
Ordinary thunderstorms are considered climate, but this kind of power exerted by divine power cannot be considered pure climate.
This is called a natural disaster.
"During this trip, there is a high probability that we will have to fight against the being that brought down this natural disaster ."
Gu Sanqiu put his hands behind his back, his thoughts drifting away.
If I take a photo of the person drawing the sword and threaten to make tens of thousands of copies of the scene and spread them all over Teyvat if he is not released, I wonder if it will be effective.
But there is a high probability that he will still be chopped to death, and even if a fox finds it interesting, it will not be able to save him.
"How about it? Do you feel shocked?"
Beidou walked to Gu Sanqiu's side and said, "When I first saw this sea area, I was also shocked."
"I am amazed at the power of the gods, and also at the changes in the celestial phenomena."
"The Southern Cross Fleet can sail safely in this sea area. Maybe there is really some kind of divine protection. Otherwise, how could I find such a safe route so smoothly and without so many casualties?"
"That's the effort of you and the crew, Sister Beidou."
It is also possible that the Emperor had given notice in advance.
Gu Sanqiu smiled. Even if the old man had really given him a heads-up, or protected him secretly, it was just the right time and place, and it only provided an ordinary opportunity.
The biggest reason why the Southern Cross can sail unimpeded in thunderstorm waters is the harmony among everyone in the Southern Cross.
"Hahaha, this flattery sounds very comfortable."
Beidou laughed in his specially made costume, "You kid, are you sure when you're leaving?"
"As soon as the fleet docks, I sneak out at night."
Gu Sanqiu gestured to a piece of skin in his hand.
"With a special mask and some secret methods passed down from generation to generation, Gu Sanqiu will disappear for a short period of time."
"Oh, that's not right. The incense-bearing man from Liyue has never appeared in Inazuma. The only one who appeared was an Inazuma man who was stranded outside due to the war and eventually learned martial arts."
"I heard from the Colonel that you have your own plans, so I won't bother trying to find a connection for you. It might even ruin your plans."
Beidou smiled and said, "However, if you really encounter a problem that you can't solve, you must come back to me. Remember, I am Beidou, the captain of the Death Star!"
"Yes, yes, Sister Beidou is mighty, majestic and domineering."
"It's good to describe it as mighty and domineering, but forget about being majestic. Are you a scholar at all?"
Beidou grabbed Gu Sanqiu's ear and turned him half a circle.
"I am a person who burns incense, not a person who studies."
"Stop talking nonsense to me. Are all the other things ready? Inazuma can't use Liyue's banknotes."
"I'm ready. I've even prepared weapons specially for this journey."
Gu Sanqiu was very calm. He even planned to change his weapons this time.
Weapons that are characteristic of the regional culture, such as two hammers, cannot be brought, and neither can spears. Everyone in Liyue is a spearman these days.
If he continued to wander around Inazuma with the spear engraved with mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, clouds, mist and dragons, it would become a diplomatic incident in a matter of minutes, and might even implicate Liyue people like Tang Wen in Inazuma.
Although there is a possibility that what you have done may be discovered in the future, that is in the future. You still need to do the necessary face-saving work now.
"Then I wish you a safe journey. No matter what you decide to do, you must keep your life in order to have a future."
Beidou said seriously: "Don't forget, Liyue still has your sister, your friends, and everything you care about."
"I see."
After Beidou left, Gu Sanqiu folded his arms and stared in a daze at the island in front of him, whose outline he could already see clearly.
It is precisely because there is something I care about that I want to give it a try.
He now has a clear understanding of the two paths of destiny that Mona mentioned.
One option is that he does not participate, and then Beidou comes back with a new brother, Inazuma, and one day in the future, when the wind and thunder surge, he blocks the sword of the Pure Land House girl.
But now, he has chosen another path and decided to interfere with Beidou's voyage this time.
And that crucial moment was when the friend initiated a duel in front of the emperor and fought against the executor of the Eye Hunting Order!
"If forcing me doesn't work, then I will challenge you to a duel in front of the emperor."
If the opponent in the battle is Kujo Sara, then defeating him will not be a problem. The key point lies in what the person sitting in the honorable position is thinking.
To put it bluntly, a duel in front of the emperor is an "opportunity" given by the king to his subjects. However, if the king is not in the mood, or if he doesn't like you, then the opportunity will naturally disappear, and you may even have to chop yourself off with your own hands.
"But I'm so handsome, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Gu Sanqiu took out a bronze mirror and looked at his appearance carefully.
"Hmm, that doesn't seem right. I must have disguised myself at that time, and I didn't intend to win by seducing you."
If you dare to flirt in front of the castle tower, let alone initiate a duel in front of the emperor, you will be beaten to death by the angry Inazuma soldiers if you utter a single note.
If you try to make yourself look handsome even when wearing a mask, you are just asking for trouble. Before arranging other things, a normal face is the best choice to deal with things.
