The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 253: The Ryota Dragon King is Silent Again
Following the direction pointed by Axing, Ruojin successfully arrived outside Inazuma Castle. The suburbs of Inazuma Castle were a leisurely scene with an ancient style. Here, Ruojin not only saw villagers working, but also saw several children playing a game called Find Temari.

If it wasn't for the fact that it was almost noon and Ruojin, who had been walking for the whole morning, was in a hurry to go to Inazuma Castle to fill his protesting stomach, he would really want to stop and take a good look at how the games these children were playing were different from the games played by the children of Liyue.

Guided by an old man on the outskirts of the city, Ruojin gradually went up along the ancient slope. On the way up, Ruojin had a panoramic view of the scenery near the outskirts of Inazuma Castle. Just as the old man said, it seemed that the prosperous scenery in the city did not affect the scenery here. The power and grace of General Lei Dian permeated here, bringing a quiet and unique vitality.

As you step into Inazuma Castle, you will see a busy commercial street. Various shops are neatly lined up on both sides of the street, quietly waiting for customers to come. In addition to the shops on the street, there are many vendors selling things in the empty spaces on the street, shouting loudly. Perhaps because the prices are right, many pedestrians stop here.

Looking at the bustling streets in Inazuma City, Ruo Jin felt a little surprised. Before arriving in Inazuma City, he always felt that due to the influence of the National Closure Order and the Eye Hunting Order, the atmosphere in Inazuma City should be rather depressed and deserted.

Now it seems that this is completely different from what he imagined. If he had not known in advance about the various political decrees of Inazuma and had only been allowed to see with his own eyes, Ruojin felt that he would not be able to tell that this was Inazuma Castle under the National Seclusion Order and the Eye Hunting Order.

"Is this Inazuma? It seems that there is no difference except that the lightning element around is more concentrated."

Just when Ruojin was standing on a street, not knowing what to eat, the voice of Ruota Dragon King suddenly sounded in Ruojin's mind. Hearing that Ruota Dragon King's voice became full of energy again, Ruojin was delighted.

"Boss Ruota, have you recovered? I didn't tell you before because I was worried about disturbing you when you got off the boat. I didn't expect you to recover so quickly."

Inside the seal, the recovered Ryota Dragon King shook his still confused dragon head. When Ruojin stepped into Inazuma's land, Ryota Dragon King was no longer dizzy. However, for the sake of his image, worried that his weak words might be heard by Ruojin, Ryota Dragon King adjusted himself for a while before communicating with Ruojin.

Recalling the constant feeling of dizziness during the days of sailing on the sea, there was a rare hint of discomfort in the eyes of King Rādhāra. If possible, he never wanted to take a boat again and didn't want to recall the feeling of seasickness. Fortunately, his good brother Morax was already dead, otherwise if Morax saw him seasick, King Rādhāra would really have to move to another country to live.

"Boss Ruota? Boss Ruota? Why are you suddenly silent? Don't scare me."

"Phew~ I'm fine, but, Jin boy, we should try not to take the boat if we can walk in the future. The feeling of not standing on the ground really makes me too uncomfortable."

Ruojin's concern interrupted King Ruota's meditation. He let out a long breath, as if he had exhaled the bad memories of his sea voyage along with the air in his abdomen. Although the land of Inazuma made King Ruota, who came to Inazuma for the first time, feel a little unfamiliar, this down-to-earth feeling still made the sealed King Ruota feel a lot more energetic.

After experiencing the comfort brought by being down to earth again, the Dragon King Ruota decided to talk to Ruojin and tell him that in the future they should go by land instead of by water, as it was too tiring for the dragons.

After hearing what the Ruota Dragon King said, Ruojin did not agree immediately as usual, but showed some hesitation. This made the Ruota Dragon King wonder what happened to this kid today. In the past, as the boss, he had never seen this kid so hesitant. So he had not paid attention to this kid for a few days, and this kid was planning to rebel?
That's not right. Based on what he knows about this kid, he shouldn't be that kind of person. Could it be that there is some unspeakable secret that he, as the boss, doesn't know about? With doubt in his heart, the Dragon King asked.

"Jin boy, just say what you want to say. Is there anything we can't say to each other?"

"Ah, that is, um, Boss Ruota, we may have to take a boat when we return to Liyue..."

Ruo Jin said nothing more after he finished this sentence, because he knew that what the current Ruo Tuo Dragon King needed was not words of comfort, but a quiet environment.

King Rudra, who had just recovered from the seal, paused for a moment. Yes, how could he have forgotten this? For an island country like Inazuma surrounded by the sea, if one wants to return to Liyue, the only way is to take a boat.

"Boss Ruota? Are you okay?"

It had been a long time since Ruotu Dragon King made a sound. Ruo Jin couldn't help but ask Ruotu Dragon King a question. Although Ruotu Dragon King was powerful, this old man was old after all. It would be terrible if he was stimulated and something unexpected happened.

"I'm fine, Jin kid, go do your thing, I want to be alone."

Inside the seal, Ruo Jin's question seemed to turn on some strange switch, and the Dragon King Ruota fell directly into the seal with a thud, as if he had suffered a blow.

At this moment, the Dragon King Ruota was like Ruojin who was tortured by homework when he was in private school. Since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well accept it. As long as he didn't think about these things now, these thoughts would not be able to attack him.

After hearing the reply from King Ruota, Ruo Jin's worries were put to rest. Since the boss Ruota could reply to him, it meant that King Ruota was still normal. So now the primary goal changed from enlightening King Ruota to filling his stomach.

I touched my stomach that had been protesting for a long time, and looked around the snack stalls and restaurants around the street. I saw a wide variety of food in these stalls and restaurants, emitting tempting aromas in the air.

He sniffed, and the aroma of various foods rushed into Ruojin's nostrils frantically. He could barely distinguish where the smells of seafood, meat and snacks came from. Ruojin, who had tasted many Inazuma dishes at various banquets, found it difficult to make a decision for a moment.

When it comes to Inazuma's cuisine, the first thing that comes to Ruojin's mind is not the famous Inazuma cuisine but the Inazuma's special desserts as after-meal desserts.

To be honest, at various banquets, Ruojin was more interested in Inazuma's desserts than Inazuma's dishes. Before, Keqing would bring him some every time she attended a banquet, so Ruojin wanted to use desserts as his first meal when he arrived at Inazuma.

But thinking about it again, Ruo Jin felt that it was a little inappropriate. After all, he had already come to Inazuma, and it seemed a little unreasonable not to try the authentic Inazuma cuisine right away. For a moment, Ruo Jin fell into deep thought because of this problem.

Forget it, then just eat two meals. The Mora that my sister gave me is enough anyway. After hesitating for a while, Ruo Jin decided to take them all. Just as he was about to go to a stall nearby to buy a few strings of tri-color dumplings as an appetizer, a child's crying sounded in his ears, accompanied by another rougher voice.

"I'm sure you'll admit defeat. Why are you crying? Give me the lollipop in your hand."
