Chapter 74: Sangonomiya! Meeting the Divine Priestess!

~7 min read 1,267 words

Three days later! Watatsumi Island!

When Luo Li stepped onto this land surrounded by everyone, his gaze was quickly attracted by the canyon splitting the middle of Yashiori Island in the distance.

That was the "Musoujin Gorge" split by Ei with one slash.

Together with the entire eastern part of the island, it was completely divided into two, and there was no cover at all, with a panoramic view.

The bones of the Archon Orobashi belonging to the island were scattered everywhere, and the resentment mixed with blood after his death fell into the rivers, causing ominous mist to rise.

Over time, fewer and fewer people lived on Yashiori Island.

"Inazuma doesn't have the diligent substitutes like Liyue's Yakshas who work 365 days a year without rest."

Luo Li felt emotional; if it weren't for the Yakshas who worked tirelessly to clean up the Archon's resentment and suppress monsters, many places on Liyue's land would probably not have escaped the fate of becoming Yashiori Island.

"Your Excellency, we have arrived."

Seeing His Excellency immersed in some emotion, the Shogunate official behind him reminded him cautiously.

I saw that not far ahead, a line of people from the Sangonomiya faction was waiting outside the island.

After the two sides made contact, there was almost no major pleasantry.

Luo Li and his party were quickly led by the Sangonomiya personnel who came to greet them toward the center of the island.

If it were an ordinary official who came, they would at most be casually placed somewhere and ignored.

But knowing that the person in charge this time was actually another Excellency from the Shogunate besides the General, the Watatsumi Island side did not dare to be negligent.

If they used this as an excuse for the Shogunate to directly launch a full-scale war, that consequence was something Watatsumi Island could not accept.

As descendants of Enkanomiya, having finally escaped the dark underground world with the power of the Watatsumi Great God, if they were driven back, they would probably never have the chance to return to the surface.

Therefore, not only was the scale of the welcome very grand, but even those who held resentment toward the Shogunate were removed from the team and left in the rear.

Before long, a beautiful palace that seemed to be built purely of countless giant shells appeared before their eyes.

The small jellyfish floating around embellished the scenery, and at a glance, it seemed very peaceful.

Recently, the situation didn't seem to have affected the island much; the life trajectory visible to the eye was very gentle, and not a trace of anxious emotion could be seen.

"Compared to Narukami Island, Watatsumi Island is more suitable for a peaceful life."

No one dared to answer Luo Li's words; if His Excellency could say so, it wouldn't taste right if a subordinate echoed it.

Fortunately, he didn't hope for anyone to talk to him, and he appreciated the beautiful scenery on his own.

In the past, he could only see it in the game, but when he was in it, he would find that its beauty far exceeded his imagination.

Waterfalls flowing down, silver lakes intersecting and gathering, clear water bottoms were full of swimming fish, and even rare pearls the size of thumbs were everywhere.

Arriving before the palace shortly after, another group of people had already been waiting there.

Luo Li walked unhurriedly, not like he was here to notify or warn, but more like he was here for a tour and a walk.

But no one dared to say anything to him.

Until they reached the outer room of Sangonomiya, the leading woman of the Watatsumi Island side greeted them with a reserved and polite smile.

"I presume this is His Excellency Luo Li from the Shogunate; nice to meet you, I am the Divine Priestess of this generation of Sangonomiya."

Hearing her state her identity, Luo Li then had the interest to raise his gaze to look at her.

Divine Priestess, the position of the person who would be Kokomi in the future.

I don't know if people living in places with developed water systems dress like this, but the woman surnamed Sangonomiya was dressed very coolly, with elegant white light gauze covering her shoulders, and the blue and green short skirt hem only reached her thighs.

A bow was tied at her waist, and her bare legs looked straight and slender, without any flaws, completely a gospel for leg lovers.

Seeing Luo Li not answering, Sangonomiya was not embarrassed and continued: "Please come in and talk."

The shrine maidens behind her first stood on both sides to clear the passage, revealing the fine sand leading to the shell palace.

If one looked carefully, one would find that the so-called silver-white fine sand was all ground from pearls.

I don't know if Watatsumi Island is rich or not, but there are really many shells.

Shortly after, both sides entered the main room prepared in advance by Sangonomiya and sat down separately.

The purpose of Luo Li's trip was not only to notify, but also to see if there was a chance for the people on both sides to integrate with each other.

If it wasn't done now, I'm afraid no one would do it later.

Looking at each other across the case table, Sangonomiya had a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze.

"I don't know if Your Excellency and everyone have any advice for coming here?"

Luo Li had no intention of beating around the bush and stated his purpose directly: "Watatsumi Island will face a great disaster, and I am here to help you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Sangonomiya didn't change much, but several people behind her changed their expressions.

If they hadn't been greeted in advance, they would probably have jumped out to accuse him of talking nonsense.

It was also fortunate that this was the case, otherwise Luo Li would let them know what it meant to be obedient.

For him, he didn't need to be as thoughtful as Raiden Makoto; even if Watatsumi Island was completely gone, it wouldn't have any effect on him.

Sangonomiya could still remain reserved and asked gently: "Can you tell me the reason?"

She didn't think Luo Li was alarmist; if he really wanted to fool her, why would he come in person? Moreover, some of the things that had happened on Watatsumi Island recently had already made her vigilant.

For smart people, there is no need to say too much; just a little hint is enough.

"There should be many more monsters near Watatsumi Island recently, right?"

Sangonomiya remained silent, and some of the people standing behind her widened their eyes, wanting to speak but stopping.

They had heard nothing of this news and thought life was the same as usual.

After a moment of silence, she placed her gaze on Luo Li's face again.

"Narukami Island should be the same, do you know the reason?"

Talking about business, Sangonomiya's smile faded a lot, and her eyes looked quite serious: "At the initial stage of the anomaly, I thought Watatsumi Island had something that attracted them, but after sending out scouts, I found that the entire Inazuma was like this."

Saying this meant that she had mastered certain situations, and the subtext was don't try to fool me.

The so-called Divine Priestess is not a simple and innocent little girl; being able to lead the entire force, her ability is absolutely unquestionable.
