The days on the boat passed quickly and smoothly.

There were no pirates hijacking ships or anything like that. It must be because Inazuma's sea area expansion plan has made progress.

The ship departed from the outlying island and sailed straight to Kaiji Island, passing by Kannazuka and Yaojima Island, and a group of people disembarked on the way.

When we arrived at Haiji Island, there were only twenty-three out of ten tourists left.

Bai Qiyun took Jiuqi Ren off the boat and stepped on the land, feeling a sense of peace of mind from the bottom of his heart.

The slightly salty sea breeze blew on his face, causing him to look around subconsciously.

As the only port to the outside world on Haiji Island, the environment here is still open and not surrounded by tall buildings.

It can be seen that the development here after the armistice was not very complete. It can only be said that it has some basic functions of a port.

Considering what Coral Palace Xinhai told him about the current situation of Haizhi Island before, this appearance did not surprise him.

"There are so few people on Haiji Island."

Kuki Shinobi looked at the barren hillsides around him and couldn't help but sigh.

After all, on Narukami Island, even the most sparsely populated place will not have such a scene.

"Mr. Bai, shall we go directly to Soun Shrine?"

After sighing for a moment, Jiuqi Ren turned his head and asked for Bai Qiyun's opinion.

But he saw Bai Qiyun shake his head and said softly.

"Don't worry, take a look at the scenery of Haiji Island and treat it as a trip at public expense."

Hearing this, Jiu Qi couldn't help but follow Bai Qiyun half a step behind him, not like a fellow traveler, but more like someone's follower.

Walking on the cliffs around Haiji Island, Bai Qiyun looked into the distance.

Haiji Island is a huge whirlpool surrounded by floating cliff islands. On top of the whirlpool, small villages have been built relying on the rocks.

The last time Bai Qiyun arrived at Haiji Island and went straight to Soun Shrine, he didn't take a closer look at the entire island.

Now if we look carefully, in addition to the villages with traces of human existence, we can also vaguely see some ruins outside the cliffs.

"Speaking of which, Haiji Island seems to have a very long history."

"Yes, Haiji Island has its own civilization, so they have never dealt with Narukami Island."

Regarding this point, Kuki Shinobu did not hide it at all. After all, this was something everyone in Inazuma knew.

"Yes, our own civilization."

When this matter was mentioned, Bai Qiyun's eyes suddenly became strange.

After all, are Ujijima Island, which believes in the God of Steel, and Narukami Island, which believes in the God of Steel, really two different civilizations?

They may have been two different civilizations thousands of years ago, but since the God of Steel unified Inazuma and granted the title of General Raiden, Inazuma has become unified both in name and in substance.

Economy, politics, and culture have gradually become one over the course of thousands of years.

If the God of Steel hadn't suddenly disappeared five hundred years ago, I'm afraid the conflict between Kaiji Island and Narukami Island would not have intensified.

Haiji Island would not have fallen to this level.

Bai Qiyun looked down the cliff and found a family on the mountain wall.

A large area for people to live has been carved out on the cliff, but even so it is still extremely narrow. People use wooden iron cable bridges similar to those in Huachengguo to connect the living areas of each household.

"If you ask me, why don't you just move to the cliff? Is it because you're afraid of pirates?"

Seeing the people walking on the bridge, Bai Qiyun was afraid that these people would fall.

Although it seems that everyone is accustomed to living this way, and even relies on some stone pillars to expand a certain amount of space for activities, the danger exists objectively.

Moreover, the cultivated land in this kind of place has almost no fertility at all, and is no different from the salt-alkali land on the seaside.

It is better to give up this monkey-like living habit and completely move to the coast. At least the elderly will not have so many risks when walking.

"Maybe there is this consideration."

Kuki Shinobu also doesn't understand the persistence of the residents of Kaiji Island. Even the residents of the same island have very different living customs.

At least she personally prefers to live on solid land rather than on cliffs.

Bai Qiyun and Jiuqi Ren were like the two leaders of the investigation work, walking around and around on the cliff of Kaiji Island.

Until Bai Qiyun was still thinking about taking a look at the situation of Haiji Island's planting industry, suddenly, a girl wearing a blue and white witch costume ran out of breath from the other side of the cliff.

"Two...two!"

Bai Qiyun was attracted by her voice.

The miko ran in front of the two of them, hunched over, holding her knees with both hands, looking extremely tired.

"Please...is this Mr. Bai?"

This shrine maiden, don't your shrine's etiquette teach you not to breathe heavily when speaking?

Bai Qiyun's eyes inadvertently swept across the girl's undulating chest.

Although the miko's uniform was very loose, the miko abided by the wonderful rule of "showing her breasts when apologizing", which allowed him to feel the youthful atmosphere of a girl again.

Hmm...although maybe he is younger than the girl in front of him.

"Well, what do you want from me?"

Bai Qiyun nodded slightly, but did not hide his identity.

Hearing this, the witch took a deep breath and straightened her expression.

"Um... Coral Palace Xinhai-sama invites you to meet at the shrine."

"oh?"

Bai Qiyun raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiu Qi Ren beside him.

Jiu Qi kept silent and took half a step back. The meaning was very clear, you are the boss and you decide.

"Then go and have a look."

Bai Qiyun puffed up his chest and his eyes fell on the Zhuoyun Shrine that looked like a pearl oyster.

With the witch leading the way, the journey was smooth.

The soldiers who were originally part of the resistance army and were still left to maintain law and order around them did not dare to look too much, and they all pretended to be on guard and looked away.

Well, it seems that this little miko is still somewhat famous in Kaiji Island.

Not long after, Bai Qiyun followed the witch to the entrance of Shuoyun Shrine.

There, a girl with pink hair dressed like a mermaid was standing at the door, seemingly waiting for someone.

Seeing the group of people arriving, Coral Palace Xinhai's eyes lit up and he immediately came to greet them.

"Mr. Bai."

"Heart sea."

The two exchanged brief greetings, but the surrounding witches quickly lowered their heads, pretending not to hear or see anything.

Oh my god, what did they hear? This man actually called Lord Coral Palace by his first name.

What's even more frightening is that Mr. Coral Palace didn't feel unhappy at all, and even looked very happy.

The witches were speechless, but they communicated privately with their eyes.

"Mr. Bai, please come in."
