Yuuko: "..."
I thought you were going to say something really important!
"We're in the middle of nowhere, where am I supposed to get you tea..." Yuuko complained helplessly.
Morax rested his chin on his hand, contemplating: "By Universal Rationality, that is true."
At this moment, Venti suddenly raised his hand from the side: "Then is there any wine?"
Yuuko: "..."
After glaring at Venti, Yuuko said helplessly again:
"You two calm down for a bit, I have other questions. Morax, I remember you said you couldn't openly help me because of a contract, right? So what kind of contract did you form with Celestia exactly?"
Facing this question, Morax showed a thoughtful expression, but after a moment, he still shook his head:
"Because of the contract, I cannot speak."
Yuuko decided to test Morax's reaction slightly: "You're too rigid. It wouldn't hurt to tell me secretly, right?"
However, Morax did not fall for that trick, responding plainly: "I am the God of contracts, and I cannot violate a contract."
"Fine." Knowing that no amount of questioning would make Morax speak, Yuuko did not press further.
However, after that probing attempt, Yuuko did gather some information.
Morax's final statement, "I am the God of contracts, and I cannot violate a contract," likely implies the nature of his contract with Celestia.
It is to help conceal some facts... Precisely because the content of the contract is concealment, Morax cannot speak now... On the other side, in a certain sea area outside Inazuma, a pair of massive ships were sailing.
However, unlike other ships, this vessel was entirely composed of the water element!
But even though it was only made of the water element, it could still sail normally.
Seen from a distance, it was a very strange, pale blue behemoth!
And on the deck of the ship stood a woman wearing a dark blue cheongsam.
The woman had shoulder-length, pale blue hair, and on her fair face were a pair of listless blue pupils.
Although her "pudding" was small, the cheongsam accentuated her figure's curves.
This was a flat-chested Yujie.
Currently, this woman looked very unmotivated.
Of course, she wasn't truly unmotivated; she just looked that way because her eyes were too "Salty Fish" (listless).
Yet, behind this very woman knelt dozens of warriors clad in armor.
These warriors were the elite soldiers of the Nation of Water!
And this woman was the deity of the Nation of Water!
The God of justice!
The God of Water gazed forward with her listless eyes, muttering softly, "Are we almost at Inazuma..."
However, before arriving at Inazuma, the God of Water spotted a tiny dark silhouette in the vast ocean.
She focused her gaze and realized it seemed to be a very small wooden boat.
Standing on the wooden boat was a fiery red figure.
"That is... the Ruler of Natya..." Confusion appeared on the God of Water's face.
She couldn't understand why the Archon of the Nation of Fire was heading in the opposite direction.
According to Celestia's orders, shouldn't he be heading to Inazuma?
Soon, the massive water ship met the wooden boat.
The God of Fire on the wooden boat lightly leaped up, jumping onto the God of Water's ship, and laughed heartily:
"Hahaha, Archon of Fontaine, how have you been lately?"
The God of Water frowned: "Ruler of Natya, what are you doing?"
Facing this Archon of the Nation of Fire, the God of Water dared not act rashly.
After all, she knew that the Ruler of the Nation of Fire possessed extremely powerful strength!
Therefore, when facing the Ruler of the Nation of Fire, the God of Water still maintained a certain degree of respect.
Facing this question, the God of Fire scratched his head and laughed loudly: "Ah, I'm just preparing to head back to Natlan."
Confusion deepened on the God of Water's face: "Why return to Natlan now? Didn't Celestia order an attack on Inazuma?"
