When Shia heard Lu Tiao's words, she immediately took half a step back, preparing to run away, but Lu Tiao spoke up in time and stopped the mage girl.
"She is our companion for the time being."
Shia stood still and looked at Baopao suspiciously.
The beautiful girl in the witch costume showed a bright smile, which made the sailors feel like a breath of fresh air, and some almost fell off the mast.
"It's Kubo, our fighting companion!"
"What does Kubo mean?"
Shia doesn't quite understand.
Lu Jian knew that Bao Bao must have learned it while surfing the Internet. It seemed that the Internet in the human world had a great attraction for Bao Bao.
Maybe somewhere Lu Tun doesn't know, she has already created an avatar like Qin Tiantian, and made her live broadcast debut on the old video network, attracting many fans to give her money.
"In short, she won't hurt us in most cases, so we can rest assured."
Lu Jian said.
It is impossible to completely believe in an alien god, let alone an incarnation of a fun-loving person like Baobao.
She is now like a naughty child watching two little bugs fighting. For the time being, she thinks this side is fun, so she cheers for Lu Jian and the others. But if her mood changes, she might find it more interesting to crush Lu Jian to death.
So far, Lu Jian feels that he has brought Baopao a lot of fun. If this can be considered a tribute, Lu Jian is indeed pleasing the gods.
"I didn't expect you to be able to connect with such a being."
Shia opened her eyes subconsciously, not because of Leopard's extraordinary charm, but because considering that she is the incarnation of an alien god, she is at the same level as a real old ruler. If she looked directly at her, she would probably...
He immediately lost all reason and fell into complete madness.
Although Leopard now looks like a human being, in fact, Shia knows very well that it is just a disguise. As long as he is willing, Leopard can immediately manifest his true appearance, making everyone on the ship's heads blossom immediately.
.
"There are a lot of complicated reasons for this."
Lu Tan didn't explain much. Regarding Charlotte in the ruined capital, the matter of the "Dark Man", and the matter of the Glory Realm, these knowledge may be harmful to Shia, so he did not explain it rashly.
"Our mission this time is to witness the sprouts, but here is a sea, where did the sprouts come from?"
Shia didn't ask further questions, but thought about the mission.
"Let's ask the crew."
Lu Jian said, and he immediately came to a corner of the deck next to a sailor who was cleaning the deck.
This sailor was also wearing Japanese-style coarse cloth clothes. His legs were very hairy. He was wearing wooden clogs and stepping on the slightly swaying deck, but he was walking on flat ground, vigorously scrubbing the somewhat moldy deck.
"Hello, how long does it take for us to reach our destination?"
Lu Tan asked politely.
"Destination? I don't know. When the captain feels that he is dreaming, he will go back."
The sailor said impatiently.
"captain?"
Lu Tiao glanced at the bridge.
It is said to be the bridge, but it is actually the platform located behind the main mast. The captain in dark clothes is standing there, controlling the rudder and looking into the distance.
Lu Tiao climbed up the ladder again and came to the rudder of the ship.
"Mr. Lu Tan, good morning. The wind direction is good today. We should be able to reach the designated location."
The captain said in a cheerful voice.
"Where are we going now?"
Lu Tan asked bluntly.
"Huh? Haven't I told 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 windless zone. As long as we can find this treasure, hey, we will spend the rest of our lives
You won’t have to go to sea anymore.”
The captain said excitedly.
"Compared with the treasures, I think the environment and creatures in the Windless Zone are more noteworthy."
Next to the captain, there is a man wearing a long coat and glasses. He does not look like a first mate, but more like a scholar.
"Hey, Xiang, don't worry about those fishes of yours. If you find the treasure, you can go home and find a woman to marry. You can play chess and cards every day. How wonderful it will be."
The captain teased.
"Then I think our chances of finding the treasure are even lower..."
The man called Axiang twitched his lips.
When he saw Lu Jian, he waved and said hello.
Naturally, Lu Tan didn't know who this was, but seeing that he seemed to have a good relationship with the captain, he decided to have a chat with this Axiang.
"How far are we sailing from the island?"
Lu Tan asked about the location again, trying to figure out how far it was from the Windless Zone.
According to his understanding, the windless zone of Wajima should refer to the Sea of Ashes, a sea where even the pure fire has been extinguished and there is no wind, and no ship can come out after entering it.
"Wajima? What is that?"
The captain didn't quite understand.
"Wajima is where...Wajima Taisha Shrine is located."
Lu Tiao was stunned and said again.
"What is Wajima Taisha Shrine? Sho, do you know?"
The captain turned to ask his friend.
"I've never heard of it."
Axiang 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 don't know what it looks like?"
He asked Lu Jian in turn.
"Then Shen Ying, do you know where the pure fire and filth are?"
Lu Tan vaguely guessed something, and he confirmed it.
"Is this the content of a legendary story?"
The captain glanced at Lu Jian.
"...Indeed it is."
Lu Tan responded and did not ask any more questions.
He has almost understood it.
Although this is Wajima, it is not the Washima that Lu Jian is familiar with.
There is no Wajima here, no poetry festival, no Washima Taisha Shrine, and no sacred cherry trees.
There is not even the purification of fire and filth.
Although this sea is vast, it is not the whole world. On the opposite side of the sea is the continent.
This is the ancient Japanese island.
Lu Jian said goodbye to the captain, and found a few sailors to open their heads to check their memories, and finally confirmed this matter.
At least in the perception of these sailors, there is no filth here, so there is no need for pure fire. Without the sacred cherry blossoms, Wajima 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, trying to find their own wealth in the endless ocean.
This captain named Nagamasa is one of them.
These people usually act as escorts on the sea, defending merchant ships from pirates. Sometimes they also take on some exploration commissions. This time they go to sea, the first half of the journey is to escort a merchant ship, and the second half, that is, now, they are the captain.
Prepare to go on a journey to the location marked on a "treasure map" he got to find the legendary treasure.
After understanding this, Lu Tan also roughly guessed the goal of this mission, to witness the bud, what exactly he wanted to witness the bud of.
They want to witness the sprouting of the sacred cherry blossoms.
