Watatsumi Island!

When stepping on this land again, Luo Li felt a little emotional.

Unlike Narukami Island, which tended to be oppressive and purple, this island had a different ethereal beauty.

Everywhere there was clear water flowing, bubbles steaming in the air, mixed with translucent light blue jellyfish.

Surprisingly, they did not live in the water, but jumped up and down in the air.

Everywhere he looked, there were huge rocks, and huge shells growing on the cliff.

If viewed from a high place, it would be found that the whole island was like a hollow, and a circle of towering mountain rocks guarded the Sangonomiya palace in the center.

Wooden suspension bridges connected the mountain cliffs in the air for people to walk together.

And every side of the mountain cliff had small waterfalls, until they gathered in the lake below.

Its water quality was clear "780" to the bottom, and the air was filled with the smell of freshness and humidity.

The breeze blew, and enjoying the beautiful scenery made people feel relaxed and happy.

Caught in the middle of a group of Resistance members, Luo Li had no expression of being threatened, completely in a relaxed posture of being invited to travel here.

Gorou behind him was instead made to look like a follower, not to mention how uncomfortable he was.

After being forced to bring him back from Seirai Island, the group had entered the territory of Watatsumi Island.

By the suspension bridge, it seemed to be to prevent people from getting lost, and pillars with lanterns were erected.

Located on the opposite side of the bridge, several Sangonomiya soldiers were guarding the suspension bridge, and such defense was a full three layers.

The first purpose was to examine the people who came here. Because of the war with the Shogunate army, it had become exceptionally strict recently to prevent spies from infiltrating.

The second purpose was that if there was a large army pressing on the border, they could cut the suspension bridge at the first time, cut off the passage, and let the enemy not be able to attack at all.

"General Gorou! You are back!"

Seeing Gorou, the guards located by the suspension bridge hurriedly greeted him.

Because he, as a general, was sincere, firm, and decisive, and could eat and sleep with his subordinates, he was deeply loved.

"Hmm, Matsuda, nothing happened while I was away, right?"

"Everything is normal. By the way, Sangonomiya-sama summoned you for something, and ordered you to see her immediately after you come back."

After hearing this, Gorou immediately agreed.

"Okay, wait for me to send this... cough, guest to a safe place, and then go to see Sangonomiya-sama."

After verification, the group passed through three suspension bridges, and Luo Li also saw the villages on Watatsumi Island scattered everywhere.

Among them, the one closest to the outer edge of the island was a village called Bourou Village.

When passing by, one could see that the villagers were very welcoming to the Resistance, and occasionally sent various supplies.

Because of the war with the Shogunate army, both sides had long cut off most of the exchanges, including supplies.

Although Watatsumi Island was rich in products, it only guaranteed daily needs, perhaps with a little leeway.

But war must have a lot of resource consumption, and just satisfying daily needs was not enough.

Soon, the group arrived at the place of Sangonomiya decorated with huge corals and shells.

Following Gorou besides Luo Li were only two soldiers.

Coming to this beautiful palace complex again, compared to five hundred years ago, there was almost no change.

"Unfortunately, the old friends of the past can no longer be seen."

Sighing, Luo Li heard Gorou's voice.

"Please don't leave the place of Sangonomiya at will, so as not to cause trouble."

His tone was not like treating a person captured as a threat, but instead carried a tone of discussion.

"I know, don't worry."

After repeated instructions, Gorou entered the Sangonomiya palace with a somewhat uneasy mood to seek an audience with the current Divine Priestess.

And Luo Li walked around with two soldiers following.

Rather than being monitored, the two soldiers were more like bodyguards.

Standing on the edge where huge corals and shells merged and looking down, Luo Li saw the lake finally gather into a huge underground cave.

From ancient times to the present, I don't know how much water it has gathered.

The huge vortex made people feel shocked.

"Enkanomiya..."

Staring at the road leading to the underground world, Luo Li was thoughtful.

Buried below were materials about the period before the Demon God War in ancient times.

It's just that most of them have been destroyed, and the things that can be found are few, so he really has no interest in taking a trip.

Compared to that, he came here with only one idea he wanted to figure out...

"Do you two know if any high-level people have suddenly appeared in Sangonomiya recently?"

The two soldiers following behind didn't react for a while, until Luo Li turned around and stared at them, then they understood that he was asking them.

One of them shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

From General Gorou, they learned that they must treat this guest cautiously, so they didn't pretend to be cold and pretend not to hear.

The other one hesitated, thought for a moment and said: "High-level people in Sangonomiya, besides General Gorou who leads the army, there are only a few people like Sangonomiya-sama, right?"

"Are there several?"

Shrine Maiden, Envoy...

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, feeling that this had already mentioned the core of Watatsumi Island.

Luo Li didn't care, looked at the two and didn't ask anymore, instead toured the scenery of Sangonomiya.

Back then, he was busy with various things, and the war of the destruction of Khaenri'ah was approaching, so he didn't have much heart to enjoy the scenery, but now he could finally make up for it.

The two soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party asked to the end, they would really be in a dilemma.

This was inviting a grandfather back.

And the reason why Luo Li didn't ask anymore was also because he could perceive that the close connection was in Sangonomiya.

The Honkai energy bestowed by him was connected along the unknown void line, emitting an aura of longing to fit with him, the source.

And that longing became more and more intense as time passed 3. , as if a child praying to get the essence of his father.

"So the baby who existed in the pearl back then was born."

Casting his gaze unintentionally towards the main hall of Sangonomiya, he could clearly feel the Honkai energy dispersed was jumping.

It's just that I don't know who the real body is. Any high-level person in Sangonomiya is possible, except Gorou.

Legend has it that the Shrine Maiden was born from a pearl, and could be called heaven-born and earth-raised, and would also become the highest-level Shrine Maiden, possessing huge power.

If he could get on the line with that one, maybe he could completely resolve the dispute between Narukami Island and Watatsumi Island.

Thinking to this point, he decided to push a hand later.

It could also be considered the first gift for Ei.
