Chapter 170

Eula thought for a moment and hesitated, pushing it off: "I don't know much either; most of it was told to me by Yanfei. If you want the truth, it's better to ask Mr. Luo Li."

Afraid of leading Noelle into a ditch, Eula quickly shut her mouth to avoid having the blame thrown on her later.

While the two were whispering, Luo Li and Raiden Makoto were silently looking outside through the ship.

The clear sky was washed blue, occasionally sea birds flew by, and the sound of the paddle wheels sliding brought bursts of splashing water.

Such a beautiful scene.

Until they passed the sea boundary of Mondstadt, everything had been peaceful.

Passengers and merchants on the ship either closed their eyes to rest if they didn't have friends, or boasted and chatted if they had friends with them.

Until nearly noon, the captain had the sailors and crew notify them that they were about to arrive within the sea boundary of Liyue.

Hearing the words from outside, Raiden Makoto sighed that the speed was quite fast.

Noelle echoed: "That's right, it's much faster than a carriage."

Luo Li smiled without a word.

This was also normal; various technologies had developed rapidly over the past five hundred years.

Especially taking Snezhnaya and Fontaine as examples.

The elemental furnaces once used for military purposes had been miniaturized and could be completely installed on ferries to speed up travel.

It only took a little over half a day to get from Mondstadt's Cider Lake to Liyue Harbor.

If there were no accidents, they could probably arrive before dusk.

Regrettably, whenever one thought this way, as if setting a flag, an accident soon occurred.

Just as he was telling Noelle about the many sights and customs of Liyue, Luo Li suddenly frowned at a certain moment.

Not long after, the ship heard the desperate shouts of the first mate and sailors.

"¨. Pirates are attacking! Everyone sit tight! We're going to charge through!"

With this shout, the passengers on the ship were panicked.

It wouldn't be long before the transport ship entered the territorial waters of Liyue, where most pirates wouldn't dare to invade, but the other party happened to be acting right at this spot, which was truly hard to guard against.

Almost instantly, Eula came to the window and looked outside; they happened to be passing a large group of islands.

Seven or eight pirate ships were appearing from the direction behind the islands, completely blocking the exit and retreat in a surrounding posture.

Without a doubt, those pirates had planned this long ago, preparing to make a big score.

"Damn pirates!"

Eula hated evil people very much; seeing that the other party had so many people, she began to think about how to escape the danger.

As for protecting so many people on the ship, she was slightly troubled.

These pirates weren't stupid; to avoid accidents, some would prepare firepower in the distance, and some would launch a boarding battle.

If they found something wrong, they would immediately unleash firepower and sink the merchant ship.

Even if Eula could kill all the enemies who got close, she was powerless against artillery fire.

She could block seven or eight times, but could she really hold out forever?

So the most urgent task was to ensure the safety of her own group first.

Eula wasn't rigid or stubborn; she understood the principle that as long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood.

But Noelle wasn't that slick; she prepared to go out and protect the public immediately.

However, she was stopped by Luo Li, who told her to be at ease, as nothing would happen.

At this moment, two Archons were waiting on the ship; he really didn't know if the pirates who were looting today had good luck or bad luck.
