Chapter 184: Seirai Island! The Thunder That Has Lasted for Five Hundred Years!

"Is that the Statue of the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed God?!"

Before long, he followed Thoma to the vicinity of the Tenryou Commission headquarters.

Amidst the serious atmosphere of a group of Tenryou Commission guards, Luo Li saw a huge statue from afar, and Paimon exclaimed in surprise.

It was ten zhang tall, in a sitting posture, with both hands resting on its knees, eyes closed, covered with a cloak, and wings on its back.

Dozens of shiny Visions were on it, in various colors.

Due to the guards, ordinary people were not allowed to approach the statue at all.

Even Thoma could only take Luo Li to within ten meters.

After all, those were precious Visions on it; how could others be allowed to approach? If they were stolen, wouldn't it smear the Shogun's reputation?

However, just as he approached the statue to about ten meters, Luo Li suddenly frowned, and voices of other people appeared in his mind. He held his head and showed a slightly strange expression.

Unintentionally seeing his ugly expression, Paimon immediately asked anxiously: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Thoma also noticed something wrong and cast a look of concern.

"I'm fine, just a little dizzy all of a sudden."

Those voices came quickly and went quickly.

In just a few seconds, the voices ringing in Luo Li’s mind disappeared completely.

Confirming that his expression quickly returned to normal, Paimon and Thoma breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since the Traveler is uncomfortable, let's go to the Kamisato Estate to see the young lady first, and take a rest by the way. Maybe it's because of the tiring journey."

Thoma's suggestion was agreed to by Paimon immediately.

"Okay, okay, let's go first. It's too serious and eerie here."

"Hmm."

Before leaving with Thoma, Luo Li turned his head one last time to stare at the statue.

He suspected in his heart that the voices just now seemed to be the wishes contained in the Visions embedded on the statue.

…………

Ritou!

Passing by Miss Ryoko's stall again, Luo Li was enthusiastically solicited by her. She heard that she had researched a new dish and hoped he could taste it.

Watching the teacher being greeted eagerly by women again, Mitsuyo seemed to recall the past.

It was the same before; there would always be strange women fascinated by him.

"Presumably Luo Li and Paimon have already arrived in Inazuma City."

Staring at the magnificent city looming in the distance, Luo Li felt that he should also set off for Seirai Island.

Once Luo Li and Kamisato Ayaka met and were persuaded by the other party, everything that followed would proceed along the destined path.

However, it was still a long time before Thoma would be captured, and he had enough preparation time.

"Is the teacher leaving later?"

Mitsuyo, who had stabilized her mood, no longer worried about gains and losses and began to face reality.

Since she couldn't persuade the teacher, she would just wait for him obediently.

"Hmm, I will return soon."

"I wish the teacher a smooth journey."

Before leaving, the cold and elegant woman took the initiative to offer a farewell kiss.

After bidding farewell to Mitsuyo, Luo Li set off on the journey to Seirai Island alone.

He did not step on the land of Narukami Island. He decided to reach Seirai Island along the route by Kannazuka by summoning a Waverider from the waypoint on Ritou.

This mysterious device was only available near water areas.

Walking on the sea, when passing Narukami Island, Luo Li could clearly see the outline of the Tenshukaku located at the top of Narukami Island.

The high-ranking palace complex carried the supreme majesty of looking down on all living beings.

Apart from nobility, only a cold aura lingered.

It wasn't until the outline belonging to Narukami Island was about to disappear at the end of the sea that Luo Li withdrew his gaze and cast it toward the place he was going.

Above Seirai Island, which was not far from the area of Narukami Island, clouds surrounded by thunder were rotating.

The rolling clouds were like a vortex, illuminated by purple lightning, and there were many small floating islands among them.

If Narukami Island was still dotted with Sakura and green grass, then Seirai Island was completely a purple world.

The thunder that ran through ancient and modern times vibrated high in the sky, and from time to time, ferocious and terrifying lightning would fall from the sky, striking somewhere on the island.

"Sure enough, the lingering hatred of the Thunder Bird has been unleashed."

When the Waverider docked and Luo Li stepped onto the land of Seirai Island, he stared at all this, and there was also an aura unique to elemental creatures operating throughout the island.

Besides that, the pulse of the earth became exceptionally clear and violent.

As if rolling blood was passing through the pulse, Luo Li clearly perceived that the power of the ley lines was born endlessly under the island and entered a cycle.

It was just strange that a small part of the ley line power seemed to be attracted, cutting off a small tributary and staying somewhere on the island.

"This familiar rhythm is indeed the sealing technique I taught."

Luo Li would never recognize it wrong; his technique was as conspicuous as ink stains on white paper.

"And the direction in which the ley line tributary flows is over there."

Casting his gaze to the southwest of Seirai Island, Luo Li perceived it exceptionally clearly. There, it was as if there was a gluttonous giant mouth, swallowing all the stolen ley line power.

Sensing carefully for a moment, he stepped forward and headed southwest along the main road.

Halfway through, he didn't meet anyone on the road, only dull thunder resounded through the sky.

Until a long-abandoned village appeared in front.

Through the blurred stone tablet standing outside the village, one could know that the village was called "Koseki Village".

Luo Li glanced at it casually and couldn't find any signs of human life at all.

That was right; thunder could strike at any time and anywhere in the sky, so who would dare to live here?

Maybe they would be struck to death by a thunderbolt in their sleep.

Over time, fewer and fewer people lived on Seirai Island, and until now, it was difficult to find residents on the island.

Those who dared to stay here mostly knew how to deal with thunder.

However, unexpectedly, when Luo Li passed through Koseki Village, he actually found some messy human traces ahead.

And on the sea surface of the Seiraimaru, cargo ships were floating.

Some people wearing light armor were moving something onto it.

"This is... the Resistance?"

The military uniform, which was completely different from the Shogunate army, allowed Luo Li to identify their identity at a glance.

The next moment, they poured the bags on the cart onto the cargo ship, and the things inside were exposed instantly.

"So it's ore."

Luo Li suddenly realized. Although Watatsumi Island was rich in products, the ore content was really not much.
