Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 369 Heart Sea (Two in One)

Haiqi Island, Coral Palace.

The sky is clear and the weather is pleasant. Perhaps because of the rich water element, even the tender green grass exudes a faint sea-blue glow.

With the huge shells embedded in the ground, walking on the road here feels like being in a blue underwater world.

The scenery here is really beautiful.

"The Coral Palace is in front of us. I have already sent someone to notify Lady Coral Palace in advance. I believe she is already waiting for you inside."

When Wulang returned to Haiqi Island, he felt that the pressure on him was relieved a lot.

"Wu Lang, you mentioned Lady Coral Palace many times along the way. What kind of person is she?"

Paimon, who was floating beside Ying, asked in confusion. Ying touched his chin and cast a curious look at Goro.

"Well, how should I put it?" Wu Lang touched the back of his head, took a few seconds to organize his words, and then introduced to Li Qiuzhi and the others, "Master Coral Palace is named Coral Palace Xinhai, the 'present-day divine priestess' of Haiqi Island, and also the supreme leader of Haiqi Island and us.

"Our Haiqi Army is much weaker than the Shogunate Army. We are able to barely fight against them thanks to the strategic Lady Coral Palace. If it weren't for her, our Haiqi Island would have been conquered by the Shogunate Army long ago."

"Oh, so Master Coral Palace is not only the leader of Haiqi Island, but also a military advisor?"

Paimon nodded to show that he understood.

"That's correct." Goro's ears twitched to show that he understood correctly.

"He sounds like a very powerful person."

Ying said with a smile on her fair face.

"It's natural!"

When Wulang heard Ying's recognition of Lord Coral Palace, he felt a little proud.

While listening to the conversation of several people, Li Qiuzhi observed the situation nearby. There were some soldiers' camps stationed on both sides of this dirt path.

No, it should be a camp for wounded soldiers. After all, this is the rear, and many soldiers in the camp seem to be injured.

There were also some soldiers with gray hair and old looks. I guess these were the soldiers who had used the evil eye. After all, the Haiqi Army would not let old people join the battlefield.

"There seem to be quite a lot of people using the evil eye. When you found out, didn't you confiscate their evil eyes as soon as possible?"

Li Qiuzhi asked a little confused.

“In fact, the rumor of the evil eye spread among the army more than a month ago, but because no one found anything unusual and the fighting on the front line was tense, it was accidentally neglected.

“It was not until a few soldiers who were usually inconspicuous and not holders of the Eye of God actually used elemental power to great effect on the battlefield that we realized the seriousness of the problem.

“But it’s too late.

"Many soldiers who accidentally acquired the evil eye knew that using it would cost them their lives.

"But in order to defeat the shogunate army, they still hid it secretly and were unwilling to hand it over. Often when they found that a soldier was abnormal, they had been using the evil eye for a long time and were almost old."

Wulang said dejectedly.

There is no way around it. After all, everyone wants to contribute to Haiqi Island, even at the cost of their lives.

Therefore, it is useless to simply ask soldiers in the army to hand in their evil eyes. The factories that produce evil eyes must be destroyed and the source of evil eyes must be cut off in order to solve the problem.

That's what Lord Coral Palace said, but even so they had no idea where the Evil Eye Factory was.

It was not until a few days ago that a guest who could hear the wind came to Haiqi Island, and with his help, it was barely confirmed that the Evil Eye Factory was located on Bayun Island.

Maybe it's a change of luck.

They thought that even if they knew the Evil Eye Factory was on Bayun Island, it would take a long time to search for it, and even if they found it, they would inevitably come into conflict with the Fatui.

But last night I unexpectedly discovered that the Evil Eye Factory had been destroyed by Li Qiuzhi and his group. If this isn’t luck, then what is!
These people are the nobles of Haiqi Island.

"I see. It's worthy of admiration."

Li Qiuzhi respects those who can sacrifice their small self for the greater good, because he himself cannot do that.

He stroked his chin and thought for a while, then summoned the "Fluorescent Sword God" and said:
"This incarnation of mine has excellent healing abilities. Although there is no way to make up for their lost lifespan, it is not a problem to cure all the hidden injuries and diseases in their bodies. This should allow them to live for many more years."

"Really?!" Goro said in surprise.

To be honest, he had no choice but to be so surprised.

They do not have enough doctors on Haiqi Island, and often they need the Lord of Coral Palace to come and use elemental power to treat the patients. This is why the camp for the wounded was built so close to the Coral Palace.

If there is one more doctor who masters elemental power, it will definitely greatly alleviate the pressure on the Haiqi Army's medical system.

Wu Lang looked at Li Qiuzhi's golden incarnation and thought, wait, is this sure not Miss Ying's incarnation? How can you say it's your incarnation? Did you say it wrong?
He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. Well, it doesn't matter, there's no need to care about it.

"Of course it's true. I never lie."

Li Qiuzhi smiled as he controlled the "Fluorescent Sword God" to fly towards the camp beside the road.

Wu Lang's tail seemed to wag happily, and he said to Li Qiuzhi with a very happy expression:

"Mr. Li Qiuzhi, thank you very much for your help. We in the Haiqi Army will not let you help us in vain. I will report this to Lady Coral Palace when I see her later!"

"Haha, it's just a small favor, it's no big deal."

Li Qiuzhi said with a modest smile.

Ying and Paimon on the side looked at him speechlessly. You were just thanked a little bit by others, and you look so happy.

After passing the medical camp, Li Qiuzhi and his team officially entered the Coral Palace, a beautiful building that looked like a pearl.

In addition to the patrolling soldiers, there are also some priestesses who are responsible for the daily operation of the Coral Palace.

When they saw Brigadier General Goro, they shouted "General".

It seems that Wu Lang has great prestige in the Haiqi Army. When I passed by a small village with him before, the villagers called him "the ever-victorious general."

This title is incredible.

While Li Qiuzhi was thinking this, everyone first walked across the arch bridge in the square, then walked across the square, and finally arrived at the door of the Coral Palace.

There are two shrine maidens guarding here, and they greeted Goro as "General Goro".

Goro nodded at them:

"Please inform Lady Coral Palace that I and several guests are already outside the door. She should have known about this matter."

"Ok."

One of the shrine maidens, who was wearing a white top and blue bottom shrine maiden costume, nodded slightly, pushed open the door of the Coral Palace and went in to report.

This was the formal procedure for meeting important people, and Li Qiuzhi and Ying were very familiar with it. Not long after, the witch lady came out quickly. She opened the door and nodded again and said:

"Master Coral Palace invites you in."

"Hey, thank you for your help." Paimon said with a smile.

Several people walked into the gate of the Coral Palace, and the transparent windows brought golden sunlight into the spacious living room.

Wulang led a few people and continued to move forward.

It only took a few seconds for them to see a girl with long coral hair standing behind a desk, her back facing them.

Perhaps she heard the footsteps, the girl turned around slightly. Her face was fair, her pupils were sea blue, and she was wearing a cool top with a big bow on her chest.

The uncovered abdomen revealed her fair skin and small belly button. Under the blue and white gradient shorts that looked a bit like pearl shells, she wore white knee-high stockings.

The fair thigh skin is slightly exposed between the shorts and socks. If nothing unexpected happens, this person is the "living god priestess" Coral Palace Xinhai of Haiqi Island.

Her appearance was exactly the same as the one Li Qiuzhi saw in the game, and she had a peaceful smile on her face before he even greeted her.

"Lord Coral Palace, we have completed the task you assigned to us... uh, it was completed with the help of these people. They are..." Wu Lang introduced Li Qiuzhi and others with a little excitement.

"Hello, Lord Coral Palace!" After Paimeng and Wu Lang finished speaking, they smiled and waved to Coral Palace Xinhai.

"Haha, hello, fellow travelers, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Xinhai." Coral Palace Xinhai was holding a book in her hand, she covered her mouth with the book and chuckled.

"Hello, Xinhai." Li Qiuzhi and Ying addressed him without any courtesy.

"I have already heard about the Evil Eye Factory from the soldiers who came earlier. The mission was completed so smoothly thanks to you guys. Thank you very much!"

Coral Palace Xinhai gently saluted Li Qiuzhi and the others.

[Coral Palace Heart Sea has a good impression of you and gains 500 favorability points. The current favorability level is Lv.3 (200/300)]

A prompt for gaining favorability popped up on Li Qiuzhi's character panel at the appropriate time.

"I just happened to accept a commission, and I didn't expect to help you."

Ying stroked the golden hair on the side of her face and said.

"Yes, that's right. If you want to express your gratitude, just treat me to a nice meal."

Paimon nodded heavily in agreement.

Li Qiuzhi looked at Paimeng speechlessly. This idiot only had this much ambition.

Coral Palace Xinhai couldn't help laughing, and then he said with a smile: "Haipi Island has just replenished some supplies recently, so it's naturally no problem for Paimon to have a big meal."

"Hehe, thank you Xinhai." Paimon said happily.

She is an extrovert and can become familiar with people in just a few words.

"By the way, Lord Coral Palace, when we passed by the camp just now, Mr. Li Qiuzhi left an avatar there to help treat the wounded. I think they should be rewarded more!"

Wu Lang repeated what happened just now, which made Li Qiuzhi feel a little embarrassed. After all, it was just a piece of cake for him.

"Oh? Is that so? The doctors on our Haiqi Island are usually priestesses who take on the job, and we really don't have enough manpower. Mr. Li Qiuzhi, you have really helped us a lot again!"

There was a hint of gratitude in Coral Palace Xinhai's tone.

[Coral Palace Heart Sea has a good impression of you and gains 300 favorability points. The current favorability level is Lv.4 (200/400)]

"Well, it's just a small matter, just a small matter." Li Qiuzhi looked at the favorability he had gained again and felt that it didn't matter whether there was a reward or not.

We’ve only known each other for a short time and our affection level has already reached level four!

"Please don't be modest. Saving lives is no small matter. You helped us destroy the evil eye factory and treated the wounded. These are great contributions. We really need to reward you as Goro said."

Coral Palace Xinhai stroked the fair and soft chin with his gloved fingers and fell into deep thought.

After a few seconds, she slowly said:

“I wonder if you are interested in joining Haiqi Island. If you are interested, I can immediately appoint you as the general of the Haiqi Army and command a legion of soldiers.

"I believe that with you all here with us, we can definitely defeat the shogunate army and eventually force them to abolish the 'Eye Hunting Order'!"

Coral Palace's heart was very clear-sighted, and she certainly would not blindly believe that these two travelers she had just met had the ability to lead troops into battle.

But she believes in the strength of these two people.

They were able to destroy the Evil Eye Factory with just two people, perhaps each of them is comparable to a legion.

It doesn't matter whether they can lead troops to fight or not. After all, if a fight really breaks out, their soldiers may have to retreat far away to avoid being affected.

"General!" Paimeng was shocked. She looked at Ying beside her and asked, "Can you lead troops to fight?"

Ying shook her head.

Although Li Qiuzhi was also shocked by Xinhai's courage, he knew that he was not cut out for it. Growing up under the red flag, he had not learned the essence of guerrilla warfare.

So after thinking about it, I declined and said:

"Haha, as a boy, it's inevitable to have the dream of becoming a general, but unfortunately, Miss Xinhai, I am not properly prepared for this day that has suddenly arrived.

"I have never been involved in any of these things, such as strategy or managing soldiers. I know nothing about them, so I won't bother you by putting on this hat."

"Yes, yes, yes. We still have to go find General Lei Dian. We can't stay on Haiqi Island!"

Paimon said, wagging his finger.

"Well, it seems that I was just wishful thinking."

Although Coral Palace Xinhai had expected this, she still showed a somewhat lost expression. She thought for a while and said distressedly:
"But if you don't accept the position of general, Haiqi Island will have no reward that matches your merits."

"Ms. Xinhai, it really doesn't matter whether we have made contributions or not, or whether we get rewards or not. If you really feel uncomfortable not doing this, why not give us the title of 'honorary general'?

"We are also 'honorary knights' in Mondstadt, which means we don't have to worry about the affairs of the Knights Templar."

Li Qiuzhi looked at the distressed Xinhai and gave his own suggestion. He didn't know if he would also get a title if Xinhai followed Captain Qin's example and conferred him an honorary knight.

Hearing Li Qiuzhi's words, the eyes of everyone present lit up.

This is a good idea. It perfectly solves the problems of both parties. Wu Lang immediately said, "Master Coral Palace, I think what Mr. Li Qiuzhi just said is a very good suggestion."

Coral Palace Xinhai nodded. This plan indeed achieved the goal of winning them over and would not cause any trouble to them.

Then a peaceful smile appeared on Xinhai's fair face:
"In that case, I will now confer the title of 'Sea Prayer General' to you as the 'Present Human God Priestess' of Sea Prayer Island!"

There is no other way. The chapter that was missing a few days ago can only be left as is and cannot be made up for the time being.
