When did ordinary people in Liyue begin to feel that the city-state they had lived in for who knows how long began to become less peaceful?

Maybe it started after the assassination of Emperor Yanwang, or maybe it started with the increasing frequency of Qianyan Army patrols in the city.

But for the fishermen, after learning that they can't go fishing casually these days, they know that something big is going to happen soon.

"Fishing is how we make a living. If you don't let us go fishing, how will we survive?"

Looking at Qian Yanjun who was guarding the dock, the old fisherman held a fishing net in his hand and said slightly excitedly.

It is unknown when the Qianyan Army took control of the entire dock and strictly prohibited all fishing boats and Liyue merchant ships from going to sea.

"This is an order from the General Affairs Department. Sir, please don't make it difficult for us."

Coach Qianyan looked at the old man and opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't tell him the truth.

Instead, he used this slightly official tone to fool him.

"What about them? How can they go to sea? Just because they are foreigners?"

Pointing to the large merchant ship flying the Fontaine flag that had just sailed out of the dock, the old fisherman scolded sharply.

This kind of differential treatment by Qian Yanjun made him very dissatisfied.

"Yes, they are foreigners, and it is their own fault to die at sea. It is different for you. Our Qianyan Army must ensure the safety of every Liyue person!"

Standing up straight, holding the spear in his hand, the instructor of Qianyan Army performed a military salute and explained aloud.

And scenes like this are also happening everywhere in Liyue Pier.

Qixing seems to have anticipated something and has begun to restrict people from going to sea.

Moreover, the shipyards, warehouses, markets, etc. near the coast were all evacuated and persuaded to leave, and were replaced by Qianyan Army guards.

At the beginning, Qixing originally wanted to restrict merchant ships from other countries in the dock.

Some smart people naturally realized that the situation was unusual. Not only did they accept the suggestion of the General Affairs Department, they also secretly deposited the goods in the Northland Bank.

But not everyone is so obedient.

Some people even used diplomatic means to put pressure on Liyue to let them go.

Since some people want to seek death, Liyue will naturally not stop them.

With the consent of Tianquan Xing Ningguang, all merchant ships that want to leave are free to leave.

But after they left Liyue, whatever happened to them at sea had nothing to do with Liyue.

That's what happened on the dock.

After persuading the old fisherman to leave, the instructor sighed and returned to his post.

"Um?"

He just picked up the water glass next to him, intending to take a sip to moisten his throat in case someone came to argue with him later.

I never thought about taking a casual look, but I saw an incredible scene.

"Is that a person?"

At the end of the boundary between sea and sky, there seems to be a dark figure floating there.

No...it's not floating, it's walking on the water.

"What did you say, instructor?"

Qian Yanjun, who was waiting nearby, heard his coach's words and came over.

"Is there a person walking on the sea over there?"

Putting down the water glass in his hand, the instructor came to the edge of the pier, pointed at the sea and asked.

But when he looked carefully, the figure on the sea disappeared again, as if it was just his hallucination.

"There is nothing. Did you see it wrong?"

Qian Yanjun looked in the direction pointed by his instructor. Apart from the merchant ship that had just left the harbor, there was no sign of anyone on the sea.

Not even the very common seabirds were seen.

"Did you see it wrong..."

With a thoughtful expression on his face, the instructor took out the chart from the side and inspected it.

Soon, he confirmed the direction in which the figure disappeared - Guyun Pavilion.

"Da Kun!"

"exist!"

"Keep this place safe. If there are ships from the Fools coming or going, write them down. I'll go to the General Affairs Department!"

"yes!"

...

Recently, the situation in Guyun Pavilion has been surprisingly good.

And this kind of goodness is not only reflected in the weather, but the vague pressure that was originally there has also disappeared, just like the demon suppressing the seabed has disappeared.

Also disappearing were the seabirds and goshawks that were originally entrenched near Guyun Pavilion.

They seemed to have noticed something and left here early.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

Not only these birds, but also the Qiuqiu people who had been living in Guyun Pavilion seemed to have noticed something and huddled in their strongholds, seeming to be afraid of some kind of existence.

When there is no food, one or two warriors will be sent out to find some food.

And today, there is an unlucky man who bears such a responsibility.

And he is responsible for going to the beach to catch crabs.

"celiupa...biat!"

Looking at the sun in the sky, the Qiuqiu man spoke an unknown language and grabbed the crab in a perfunctory manner.

And he was staying as far away from the sea as possible.

until......

As if he noticed something, the Qiuqiu man who was catching crabs slowly raised his head and looked at the sea.

On the sea surface, which was slightly calmer than usual, a dark figure slowly emerged.

He walks on the sea as if he were on land, without any difficulty.

The Qiuqiu people who saw this scene even forgot that they were holding crabs in their hands.

"call......"

After walking out of the sea, Bai Luo looked at the sea behind him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though he knew he wouldn't fall into the sea, he still felt a little nervous along the way.

But...it feels pretty good.

As for how he got this ability, it has something to do with one of his professions, and it also involves his dark history.

He didn't intend to tell anyone else about it.

But compared to walking on the sea, even a soft beach will give people a sense of down-to-earth peace of mind.

After the uncomfortable feeling of walking on the sea disappeared, Bai Luo looked at the shivering Qiuqiu man next to him.

It seems that he should know Bai Luo.

In other words, all the Qiuqiu people in Guyun Pavilion now know this human being who is dressed in darkness and has done all kinds of good things.

"Hey, little one, where do you live?"

"ya——"

Bai Luo's words frightened the Qiuqiu man so much that he didn't even care about the crabs he had caught. He yelled and ran towards the interior of Guyun Pavilion.

If it were normal, he would have to catch up and find a place for himself in advance.

It's just that this time he came here because he had business to do, and he just watched the Qiuqiu people disappear from his sight with a little regret.

And he came to the previous altar according to the location in his memory.

Standing in the middle of the altar, he took out the 100% Taboo bag he carried with him, and the pulling feeling of going deep into the abyss of the sea appeared on his body again.

"Long time no see, my friend."

Looking at Osaier who was in better condition than last time, Bai Luo greeted him cordially.
