On the island.

The pirates whose ship was stolen fell into fear.

Not only could the man control terrifying beasts, but he could also make the ship move on its own.

He possesses extraordinary powers?

These pirates were unable to resist and had to find another way.

The big ship is gone, but there are still small boats and trees on the island, so it can be rebuilt.

After being in a daze for most of the day, the remaining people gradually found their goal.

They got busy.

Until a figure came to the front of the village.

The man was wrapped in a lot of bandages, and only one red eye could be seen, glowing faintly.

When the pirates saw this man, they subconsciously shuddered.

If the previous Lu Ban was a scary person, then this guy can only be described as a scary monster.

"I can smell her. Have you seen a woman before? She's wearing red and white clothes. She's about this tall."

The thunder from the foreign land asked.

"They took our boat!"

One of the pirates shouted immediately.

"Them? Who else?"

The Thunder realized the problem.

"There's another man with a monster. The monster is just like a dog, only... only more terrifying!!"

Another pirate said immediately.

Judging from the words and actions of this bandaged man, he seems to have a grudge against the person who had previously robbed the pirates' ship. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so they want to have a good relationship with this guy.

"It looks like the Chosen One... a dog-like monster. I don't know what kind of creature it is. Maybe it was that thing that sank our ship..."

The Thunder has to prepare and plan everything they do in advance. After his teammate Flash gave away a head because of his recklessness, he realized the importance of stability.

If he had not been prepared, he would probably have been swallowed by the black shadow in the sea like the other sailors.

"We can help. He stole our ship. We want revenge!"

A pirate shouted.

"Can you help?"

Thunder laughed.

"Thank you so much."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bandages on his body were untied, revealing a body that was almost black and misty underneath.

The fog continued to spread and quickly enveloped a pirate.

Before the pirate could even call for help, his entire body quickly shrivelled and withered, like a mummy that had been left for many years.

The fog spread and the screams continued. Before long, there was no pirate left alive on the entire island.

Lei Ting returned to his original state, and the bandages continued to wrap around his body, but compared to before, his body was now stronger, as if he had supplemented a lot of nutrition.

"They are very fast, we have to find a way to catch up."

Lei Ting found a small boat used for traveling back and forth in shallow water and sat on it. Some of the bandages were untied, and the gray mist turned into oars, making the boat start to move at high speed.

As he walked forward, Lei Ting took out a coin from his bandage.

He flipped the coin and checked the heads and tails of the coin in his hand.

"Good luck."

He laughed.

…

"According to the nautical chart, Changfeng Island should be ahead, which means we are close to Qiushan Island."

Under the moonlight, Lu Ban looked at the nautical chart, estimated the distance moved with a pen, and felt happy.

But Amber on the side looked a little worried.

These past few days, she often looked at the sea like this, falling into a kind of melancholy that made everyone else feel sad.

"Shouldn't you be happy? You're going to meet other people soon. At least you can take a good bath at the port and have a good sleep on the beach."

Lu Ban reminded.

For girls, not being able to take a bath is really unbearable, and bathing in sea water will make the body sticky and even dirtier, so Amber only took a bath with fresh water once in these days.

As for Lu Ban, he has grass to clean, so it’s not a big problem.

"yes."

Amber nodded, but there was a flicker in her eyes.

"Tell me, do I really want to become the chief priestess?"

She asked, not like she was talking to Lu Ban, but more like she was talking to herself.

"Although these days are hard, I always feel relaxed and free of burden. Compared with the time of practice, this kind of life is better."

It's like a nerd who has been studying hard and whose parents tell her not to think about anything else except exams and studying, suddenly gets a long vacation and doesn't have to study but just has to play, eat and sleep. For Amber, life at sea is completely different from her previous life and there is more freedom.

"I've been thinking about this for the past few days. Can we not go to He Island and go somewhere else? Anywhere is fine. Find a small island, build two houses, go fishing, raise some animals, and spend our lives like this?"

She said this, then suddenly realized what she had said and quickly changed her words.

"That's not what I meant. I don't want to spend my whole life with you..."

"I know."

"No, it's not impossible..."

"Um."

"Well, anyway... I don't want to be a miko anymore."

Amber gave up explaining.

Lu Ban actually understood Amber's feelings very well.

Simply put, I just want to touch it.

This had nothing to do with Lu Ban. It was just that she, who had been tense all the time, now had an excuse to relax, to take a breath, and not to work so hard anymore.

Over the past decade or so, Amber has been instilled with the ideal of becoming the high priestess and saving the world. It is hard to say whether these ideals are what she wants, but Amber has no right to choose.

Now that she has a choice and has experienced the world of freedom, Amber feels that the responsibility of saving the world is too heavy.

Indeed, it is impossible to tell a teenage girl that she is the hope of the world, that the world cannot do without her, and that she must give up her future freedom to sit in the Wajima Taisha Shrine and shoot arrows every day.

Qin Tiantian, who has a similar body shape to Amber, plays games and slacks off every day, living a happy and carefree life. Why does Amber need to be confined in a cage?

Lu Ban actually couldn’t figure it out either.

However, his mission is to escort Amber to become the high priestess, so if Amber retreats at the critical moment, the mission will not be completed.

"How about this, we go to Changfeng Island first, without exposing your identity, and stay there for two days to experience the life of ordinary people before making a decision, how do you think?"

Lu Ban decided to go ashore first.

"Um."

Amber nodded, and you could see her struggle.

Although Lu Ban could tell her that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, this was ultimately just an idea imposed on her by others.

Watching Amber leave, Lu Ban let out a sigh of relief.

I never expected that I would have to help teenage girls design their future lives and make career plans.

Looking at the beautiful moonlight, Lu Ban suddenly had an idea.

He looked at the assignment.

[Task requirements: Escort the shrine maiden to the Wajima Taisha Shrine]

[Quest requirements: Witness the birth of a new priestess]

Here...it seems that there is no specific requirement that it must be amber?
