"Outer God? Incarnation?"

When Xia heard what Lu Ban said, she immediately took a half step back and pretended to escape, but Lu Ban spoke up in time and stopped the mage girl.

"She is our companion for the time being."

Xia stopped and looked at Baobao suspiciously.

The beautiful girl in the witch's costume showed a brilliant smile, which made the sailors feel like spring breeze, and some of them almost fell off the mast.

"It's my fellow fighter Kubo!"

"What does Kubo mean?"

Shia didn't quite understand.

Lu Ban knew that Baobao must have learned it while surfing the Internet. It seems that the Internet in the human world has a great appeal to Baobao.

Maybe in a place that Lu Ban didn't know, she had already created a virtual image like Qin Tiantian, and made her debut through a live broadcast on the Jiuri Video Network, attracting many fans to give her money.

"In short, she won't hurt us in most cases, so you can rest assured."

Lu Ban said.

It was impossible to fully trust an Outer God, let alone one like Leopard who was the embodiment of fun.

She is now like a naughty kid watching two little bugs fighting. She thinks this side is fun for now, so she cheers for Lu Ban and the others. But if her mood changes, she might think it is more fun to trample Lu Ban to death.

So far, Lu Ban felt that he had brought a lot of fun to Bao Bao. If this could be considered an offering, then Lu Ban was indeed trying to please the gods.

"I didn't expect you could connect with such a being."

Xia opened her eyes subconsciously, not because of Leopard's extraordinary charm, but because she considered that she was the incarnation of an Outer God, which was on the same level as a real Old One. If she looked directly at her, she would probably lose her mind immediately and fall into complete madness.

Although Leopard now looks like a human, Xia knows very well that it is just a disguise. If he wants, Leopard can immediately reveal his true appearance and make everyone on the ship's heads explode.

“There are many complex reasons for this.”

Lu Ban did not explain too much. Regarding Charlotte in the Wasted City, the matter of the [Man of Darkness], and the matter of the Glorious Realm, all this knowledge could be harmful to Xia, so he did not explain it rashly.

"Our mission this time is to witness the sprouting of seeds, but there is only sea here, where will the sprouts come from?"

Xia didn't ask any further questions, but started thinking about the mission.

"Let's ask the crew."

Lu Ban said, and he immediately came to a corner of the deck, next to a sailor who was cleaning the deck.

The sailor was also wearing coarse cloth clothes in the Japanese style. He had a lot of leg hair and was wearing wooden clogs. He walked on the slightly shaking deck as if it were flat ground, and brushed the moldy deck vigorously.

"Hello, how long will it take us to reach our destination?"

Lu Ban asked politely.

"Destination? I don't know. The captain will probably go back when he thinks he's dreaming."

' said the sailor impatiently.

"captain?"

Lu Ban glanced at the bridge.

It is called the bridge, but it is actually a platform located behind the main mast. The captain in dark clothes is standing there, controlling the rudder and looking into the distance.

Lu Ban climbed up the ladder again and came to the rudder.

"Mr. Lu Ban, good morning. The wind is good today. We should be able to reach our destination."

The captain said in a cheerful voice.

"Where are we going now?"

Lu Ban asked straightforwardly.

"Hmm? Didn't I tell you before that we are looking for the treasure left by the King of the Seven Seas? It is said that he left it on a small island in the Calm Belt. As long as we can find this treasure, hey, we won't have to go to sea again for the rest of our lives."

The captain said excitedly.

"Compared to the treasure, I think the environment and creatures in the Calm Belt are more worthy of attention."

Next to the captain was a man wearing a long gown and glasses. He looked more like a scholar than a first mate.

"Hey, Ah Xiang, don't worry about your fish. When you find the treasure, go home and find a woman to marry. Play chess and cards every day. How wonderful it is."

The captain teased.

"Then I think our chances of finding the treasure are even lower..."

The man called Axiang twitched his lips.

Seeing Lu Ban, he waved and said hello.

Lu Ban naturally didn't know who this person was, but seeing that he seemed to have a good relationship with the captain, he decided to find this A Xiang to talk to him when he had the chance.

"How far are we sailing from the island?"

Lu Ban asked about the location again, trying to figure out how far it was from the calm zone.

According to his understanding, the calm zone of the island should refer to the Ash Sea, an area of ​​the sea where even the pure fire has been extinguished. There is no wind at all, and any ship that enters will not be able to come out.

"Hedao? What's that?"

The captain didn't quite understand.

"Wajima is... where Wajima Taisha is located."

Lu Ban was stunned and said again.

"What is the Wajima Taisha Shrine, Xiang? Do you know?"

The captain turned and asked his friend.

“I haven’t heard of it.”

A Xiang shook his head, took out a thread-bound book from his arms, flipped through it for a while, and shook his head again.

"I don't know. The name sounds like some kind of building? I wonder what it looks like?"

He asked Lu Ban in turn.

"Do you know what about Shenying, the Pure Fire and the Filth?"

Lu Ban vaguely guessed something and he confirmed it.

"Is this from some legendary story?"

The captain glanced at Lu Ban.

“…Indeed.”

Lu Ban responded but didn't ask any more questions.

He almost understood it.

Although this is Hedao Island, it is not the Hedao Island that Lu Ban is familiar with.

There is no Wajima Island, no poetry festival, no Wajima Taisha Shrine, and no sacred cherry blossoms here.

There is not even pure fire and filth.

Although this ocean is vast, it is not the whole world. On the other side of the ocean is the continent.

This is the ancient He Island.

Lu Ban said goodbye to the captain and found a few sailors to open their heads and check their memories, and finally confirmed this matter.

At least in the perception of these sailors, there are no filthy things here, so there is naturally no need for the pure fire. Without the sacred cherry blossoms, the Waseda Taisha Shrine will no longer exist, and there will be no shrine maiden to control the pure fire.

The continent still exists and is vast, but now is the Age of Discovery. Everyone yearns for the sea and tries to find his own wealth in the endless ocean.

The captain named Nagamasa was one of them.

These people usually act as guards on the sea, defending merchant ships against pirates, and sometimes they also undertake some exploration commissions. This time, the first half of the journey is to escort a merchant ship, and the second half, which is now, is the captain's journey to the location marked on a "treasure map" he got, to find the legendary treasure.

After understanding this, Lu Ban roughly guessed the goal of this mission, which was to witness the budding of something.

They want to witness the sprouting of the divine cherry blossom.
