Because there is one more person added to the seventh group, no, to be precise, there is one more person, plus a white fox.
Xiaobai was also brought along by Qianchen. It was a last resort. Anyway, there were already five of us, so there were not many Xiaobai left.
Last night, everyone in the seven groups went back to their homes and prepared for the night. Early this morning, the five of them met at Qinglong Gate and got ready to go.
The energetic people embarked on the journey under the early morning sun, with a long shadow behind them.
Along the way, the few people didn't talk much to begin with, so they didn't waste time by exchanging pleasantries and rushed directly to the eastern port.
The first stop of this trip is the offshore island to the east, Arakawa. Then we will move to the final destination - the remote islands.
More than a month ago, Heian Kyo was opened to the outside world, and foreigners were not allowed to enter. Correspondingly, the exchanges between Kyoto and the outside world were also increasing. There were many more ships at the port. Although there were some in the past, they were far less than the scale they are today.
From this point of view, Kyoto does not necessarily have no benefits at all, at least its outward trade has increased many times.
Except for Yuehua, the other four people all wear a black ring on their fingers. This is an item issued by the academy to the students who are undergoing this experience, the space ring. This item is extremely rare and is made from the smelting of space stones.
The magic circle is engraved on it, and ordinary people cannot buy it. Only important figures in the imperial palace and major families have it. The academy spent a lot of money this time. Even though it received the support of the palace, it still made the academy's old man meat.
It hurts so much.
This is also because of the aloof status of the school. How could any other force receive such treatment?
There is about a cubic meter of virtual space inside, where you can put your belongings, which is quite convenient.
Qianchen and several people walked across a bridge. The river under the bridge was rushing and rushing away. This was the Kamogawa River.
We should have arrived at the port not long ago. Xiaobai squinted his small black jewel-like eyes and nestled in Yuehua's arms, resting quietly.
Qianchen enjoyed the scenery all the way and felt quite at ease.
Mr. Yuan lowered his head slightly, wondering what he was thinking.
Not long after, they arrived at the port and everyone boarded the ship in order. When the time came, the ship sailed into the depths of the sea amidst the roar of the wind.
In the cabin, Qianchen and five people gathered together and sat in a small room. A few people just chose the ordinary cabin, which was enough. It was just a place to stay anyway, nothing else.
Of course, there are more comfortable luxury cabins, but they don’t have to be so luxurious.
Qianchen: "We should arrive at Arakawa at dusk tomorrow."
Yuehua looked around, very curious. In fact, she wanted to go to the deck outside to see the sea up close, so she answered absentmindedly: "Yeah."
Qianchen: "According to our previous agreement, we will stay overnight in Arakawa tomorrow and head to the outlying islands the next day."
Long Yi: "Arakawa is the territory of the Kraken clan, we are afraid..."
He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was very clear. I'm afraid he wouldn't be welcomed by the Sea Clan.
Young Master Yuan: "It doesn't matter. There are also human markets on overseas islands. After all, those sea monsters who practice transformation also need products manufactured by the human race."
Qianchen: "Mr. Yuan is right. In fact, there is another point. This is the current general trend. Once Kyoto opens up, the various races outside will naturally have an influence and will follow Kyoto's example."
When it came to this kind of thing, no one answered any more. What happened in the future was in the future. It was not their turn now, and they couldn't decide anything.
The five of them said nothing, and each closed their eyes to rest. Yuehua quietly approached Qianchen and whispered: "It's so boring here, why don't you go out with me and have a look."
Qian Chen thought for a moment and thought it should be fine, so he hummed and nodded. He turned around and informed everyone, got up and went out with Yue Hua. The others opened their eyes and took a look without any reaction.
On the deck, the cool sea breeze blew in, blowing the hems of his clothes and blowing his hair. Yuehua gathered her black hair and stood by the guardrail, feeling the vastness of the sea, but it was just a little bumpy. However, this novelty was suppressed for the time being.
I felt all kinds of discomfort.
The endless ocean, with turbulent waves, sparkles under the sunlight. Looking up at the sky, the sea and sky are really vast, and there is a wonderful feeling of water and sky being the same color.
Qianchen Yuehua and Qianchen Yuehua were immersed in the majestic seascape, blowing the sea breeze and bathing in the sunshine, feeling very uncomfortable.
Liu Shuang didn't even notice Liu Shuang's arrival until Liu Shuang said, "Thank you."
"Um?"
Qian Chen was shocked for a moment before he came back to his senses. He had been careless. He had thought of a lot of things just now. His thoughts had already drifted to nowhere. He was also a little scared. This state was not good. He sensed the danger.
Now that the mission has begun, you can no longer be casual and remain vigilant at all times. This is not only responsible for yourself, but also for your teammates.
Qianchen tilted his head, looking at the frost on his white cheeks, and expressed doubts.
Liushuang chuckled and said again: "Thank you! Qianchen."
Qianchen thought it was something, and immediately replied: "It's okay, you're welcome, we are comrades who share life and death."
Liu Shuang regained her coolness: "Oh."
The bright smile just now really made Qian Chen stunned for a moment. It would be great if he could always smile like this.
So, Qian Chen said seriously: "You look good when you smile."
Liu Shuang smiled slightly: "Really? Thank you."
The exchange between the two ended here, and each remained silent for a long time.
Yuehua turned her head and stared at Liushuang for a while without saying anything.
Liushuang smiled back, and Yuehua pretended not to notice, looking away as if nothing had happened.
Qianchen noticed the slightest abnormality and looked around. On the left was Yuehua looking at the sky, and on the right was Liushuang looking at the vast sea with lowered eyebrows.
Qianchen was in a dilemma, not knowing what to say, so he began to mutter to himself: "The sea...it's all water..."
The two women on the left and right were not aware of it, and both focused their gazes on Qian Chen's face.
Qianchen: "What? What happened to my face?"
Yuehua and Liushuang turned their heads back again without saying a word.
What a stupid brother, Yuehua is sulking, forget it, she leaves, and if she doesn't leave, she will feel so uncomfortable that she will die.
Liu Shuang had the same idea, and the two of them turned around and left at the same time.
Qianchen looked back at the two of them, and then looked at the sea. What happened? It felt weird. Many question marks appeared in his head, and he couldn't get rid of them for a while.
In the passage of the cabin.
Liu Shuang and Yue Hua walked in tandem. Liu Shuang suddenly stopped, turned sideways, slowed down, and walked side by side with Yue Hua.
After a while, seeing that they were almost there, Liu Shuang couldn't help it any longer and spoke softly: "Why haven't I heard Qian Chen talk about you before?"
Yuehua: "I haven't heard my brother talk about you either."
Liushuang paused for a moment. What did this mean? She lowered her head and looked at the girl's face, smiled, and showed a bright smile. She was not good at words and didn't want to say anything at all, so she didn't want to say anything at this moment.
He didn't want to say anything anymore and left directly.
Yuehua snorted, what's the big deal? It's just a little higher.
