Chapter 277: As the lord commands! The tool duo running world quests!
Even though she was seen as noble, elegant, kind, and generous by outsiders, the Heron Princess.
In front of a god, every word had to be considered.
Otherwise, once something was said wrong, it would surely bring down the wrath of thunder.
Because she didn't know Luo Li’s temperament, Kamisato Ayaka could only slowly explore his habits and personality.
Luo Li, of course, knew that everything she said was the truth.
The eldest daughter of the Kamisato clan had a serious personality, pursuing perfection in every matter, and she had a heart as pure as ice crystal.
Just like the ice crystal rotating in winter, one could see the gorgeous colors refracted, and Ayaka’s heart was the same.
However, knowing this didn't mean she wouldn't use some small tricks to notify Lumine and Paimon.
Therefore, Luo Li put on a look of wanting to believe her: "The Kamisato lineage has a long history, and most of the matters of worshiping the gods are shouldered by you. I naturally believe in your loyalty, but..."
Kamisato Ayaka’s expression softened slightly, but the last two words made her exquisite heart rise high again.
"To avoid misunderstanding, while I find the Traveler, you had better stay by my side."
In this way, even if the Traveler escaped capture, it would have nothing to do with her.
Kamisato Ayaka was both happy and worried.
Happy about the god’s initial trust, and worried about her brother showing flaws.
"Yes, as Luo God-sama commands."
Although it was uncomfortable to have her personal freedom restricted, compared to clearing the Kamisato clan’s name, this small setback was nothing.
Just, Traveler, please don't get into trouble.
Praying for those two friends in her heart, Kamisato Ayaka silently wished them better luck.
On the other side!
Narukami Island! Araumi!
Due to the protection of the Twelve Divine Generals formation, the village that originally stood here, although damaged, was mostly intact.
Some damaged places were subsequently restored.
And at this moment, Lumine and Paimon, who were being talked about by both Luo Li and Kamisato Ayaka, were wandering around here.
"Lumine, I just heard from the people in the village that the Vision Hunt Decree in Inazuma City has been canceled, and the Sakoku Decree is also being canceled. It seems we’ve brought the wind of change again."
The flying emergency food said with pride, hands on her hips, as if this matter had a lot to do with them.
Oh, it did indeed have a lot to do with them.
If it weren't for these two people saying so much explosive news in front of Raiden Ei, who knows what the situation would be now.
Lumine, who was climbing mountains and wading through water, wiped the sweat from her forehead and said calmly: "Then after we solve the problem here, we’ll go back to the Grand Narukami Shrine to hand over, and then return to Inazuma City. I don't want to wander in the wild anymore, and then take on another commission."
She didn't know if it was because others saw her as kind and enthusiastic, but she would always inexplicably encounter many people in trouble during her journey, and their problems happened to be ones she could solve.
Sighing, Lumine regained her spirit; fortunately, this was the last one.
"Paimon, are you sure this is the place?"
Just in case, she asked again while climbing the mountain.
"Hmm, it should be right. That shrine maiden said this is the last place with a problem."
Soon, the two arrived at the top of a small mountain in Araumi.
"Phew, although I didn't climb the mountain, it was still hard for me."
Pretending to wipe her forehead, Paimon whistled sheepishly under Lumine’s death stare, her eyes drifting around.
Before Lumine could speak, Paimon, who had sharp eyes, suddenly saw something and shouted: "Look over there!"
Lumine looked in the direction of the sound, only to see from a high vantage point that there was a small hole in the center of the flat mountain top.
It was just the time when the sun was most intense, and there was a faint reflection in her field of vision.
The two approached, looked down through the hole that was just big enough for one person to pass through, and found that there was a different world inside.
The entire mountain seemed to have been hollowed out, and misty air like moonlight floated inside.
The light inside the mountain was extremely abnormal, with several places appearing to have sudden refractions, as if space were distorted.
"This is it."
Lumine didn't hesitate at all and jumped down from the hole immediately.
Why else would they say she was bold?
Paimon, who could fly, hesitated for a moment before following.
When they truly entered the mountain, they realized they had entered another world.
The intense sunlight outside couldn't be projected in at all, as if something was blocking the hole.
Lumine, who had opened her wind glider, looked at the center of the mountain floor for the first time, where a huge barrier was unfolded, protecting a beautiful and elegant white fox inside.
However, when she and Paimon gradually approached, they realized that the barrier had been stained with the aura of the Abyss, and pitch-black flowing light circulated outside the barrier.
Although the polluted area wasn't large, if it continued like this, it would sooner or later become a big problem if no one took care of it.
"...Taiyin is the private gate of heaven and earth... it is the essence of the moon, and can use short-term space distortion or time stop... the appearance is a white fox..."
She remembered the shrine maiden had told her some strange onmyoji terms, but unfortunately, Lumine couldn't remember them clearly at this moment.
Previously, she had already solved Tai Chang, which was the sun, Gou Zhen, and Teng She.
Now only the last place remained.
"No wonder the light outside is distorted and can't get in, and it’s so strange inside. So the last place is Taiyin."
Paimon clearly remembered better than Lumine and immediately expressed her admiration.
"Wow! It’s so beautiful over there!"
After saying this, the little thing pointed to the place directly opposite the white fox, her eyes wide open.
Lumine followed her gaze, only to see a magnificent Buddhist temple, surrounded by countless beautiful scenes, pavilions, and rare treasures, which was dazzling.
"If you encounter Taiyin in the tomb, there will definitely be a Buddhist temple or beautiful scenery in the direction it faces... that shrine maiden really didn't lie to us!" Paimon was stunned.
Lumine wanted to complain; if she had lied, the previous three places couldn't have been solved at all.
Unlike the thick-nerved Paimon, she observed the barrier and the sleeping white fox inside for the first time.
The goal was to solve the problem, not to go on an outing.
The barrier was divided into six sides, forming an extremely complex mechanism array.
Lumine had a bit of a headache for a moment and could only take it slowly according to the existing clues.
Just as she was thinking this, Paimon accidentally touched something, and suddenly the entire barrier began to vibrate.
And the white fox hidden inside, whose peaceful eyes were originally closed, suddenly began to tremble.
