"Xiao Hei, what were you just now..." When the little wolf cub returned to Vivian again, the little girl secretly asked worriedly through voice transmission.
However, Liao Zixuan shook his head, indicating that he was fine and was just a little curious about the ship.
In fact, he didn't know what to say.
It cannot be said that this ship is an ominous ship, so we should change it now.
I have to describe Liao Zixuan’s mood at the moment.
Very similar to...
The male protagonist of Titanic traveled back in time and faced the giant ship that had not yet set sail.
It cannot be said that they are exactly the same, it can only be said that they are exactly the same.
In the plot of the previous game, the cause and process of the crash of the ship were not explained to the players. It was just similar to a landmark building located in the "Abyss" copy at that time.
Liao Zixuan vaguely remembered that at that time, there seemed to be a small paper by "fall experts" on the forum to study the historical background of the "Astrogis", but...
After he clicked in, he glanced at it twice and then closed it. It was too long and he didn’t want to look at it! He even complained about how there could be such idle players.
The result is now...
Damn it!
The little wolf cub felt regretful and beat his chest.
If only I had looked twice more, I wouldn't have ended up like this now, only knowing the results but not the process.
Liao Zixuan apologized from the bottom of his heart to all "fallen scholars".
It's too late to change ships now and it's unrealistic.
First of all, in Akabane Port, there are no other ships that can go to Qiandao. The shipbuilding industry in Yanyu is basically scum, and all transportation depends on Qiandao's ships. But if Luzi unilaterally allows Luzi to contact Qiandao and request a new ship to be sent to pick him up. In human terms...
This leads to the second point.
Secondly, Liao Zixuan himself didn’t know when the crash of the Astrologis occurred. It’s like the Titanic has sailed so many times. How can you be sure that this is the one where you crashed?
Oh, the Titanic was sent on its maiden voyage, so that’s okay.
grass!
Liao Zixuan remembered that Luzi had just said that the Astologis was very rare to sail once, and it was basically used for voyages in "months".
No, we have to ask Vivian to find out more about this ship!
There was an opportunity to learn history before him, but Liao Zixuan didn't take advantage of it, so he had to rely on improvising now because he didn't want to be a witness to history.
After conveying her "strong curiosity" about the ship to Vivian, the little girl also looked curious and continued to ask Luzi.
"Luzi, it seems that Xiao Hei is very interested in this ship..."
"Ah! I'm sorry, Xiao Hei is the name of the summoned beast in my arms... I gave it to him!" Vivian looked proud and opened it carefully. There was still a trace of showoff hidden inside.
"So, can you please tell me more about this ship, such as the name of this ship, why it is called Astor...To..."
The little girl was stuck for a moment because the name of the boat was too long and a bit difficult to pronounce.
Fortunately, Luzi filled it in thoughtfully.
"The Astrologis."
"Yes! So I'm very surprised. This name seems to be similar to the way you name Qiandao. I always feel... well, the style is a bit different."
Vivian's question was on point. Liao Zixuan also had this strange feeling. According to the style of Thousand Islands, it should be some kind of Langshen or Yamato.
"Basically everyone will ask the same question as Miss Vivian when they hear this name." Luzi nodded, seemingly used to it.
She slowly began to explain.
"The name of the Astologis comes from an ancient legend spread in our Thousand Islands. As we all know, the Thousand Islands are the kingdom of water and are blessed and protected by the water god Funika. But as early as the chaotic era, the Nine God has not yet appeared, and the Thousand Islands have not been unified, divided into three major family forces, each commanding an island."
"At that time, there were constant wars in Qiandao, and the three major families all wanted to annex each other. At first, people focused entirely on the struggle for power, and did not consider the consequences of the war at all. Until the casualties caused by the war, the remaining souls , the resentment and hatred are increasing, and the accumulated filth finally explodes, causing the demons to dance wildly and evil spirits to appear frequently."
When Luzi said this, her voice became a little more serious, as if she was reliving the original disaster, and the little girl next to her also clenched her hands.
It wasn't until below that Vivian breathed a sigh of relief.
"If this continues, Thousand Islands will be destroyed before the war ends. Therefore, the three major families decided to stop the war, prepare for peace talks, and concentrate their efforts to suppress the evil spirits and seal the evil spirits."
"The three major families agreed to set the location for the peace talks on the central island. On that day, the patriarchs of each family sailed on boats. However, I don't know whether it was fate or evil spirits, but it happened to be that day..."
Luzi's voice paused and her tone changed, making Vivian's heart that had just been put down by the story immediately rise again.
Just listen to Luzi say:
"That day, a thick fog rose from the sea surface of the island. Even the most experienced boatmen could not tell the direction, and the most precise compass could not point to the location."
"At that time, the heads of the three major families on the ship all thought it was a witchcraft used by the other party. They wanted to use peace talks as a pretext, but in fact they secretly plotted against each other. If things really develop like this, not only will the peace talks break down, but the relationship will even become more tense, which will be harmful to the people of Qiandao. It will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire and lead to disaster."
"And at this critical moment, which is related to the survival of Thousand Islands, a great astrologer appears."
When Luzi said this, although her tone was still calm, it was not difficult to hear the respect in it.
"This astrologer who suddenly appeared used her powerful water fortune to break through the heavy fog that filled the sea. Like stars in the dark night, she illuminated the way forward and pointed the direction for people. With her help , the peace talks between the three major families were able to proceed smoothly, and the Thousand Islands Three Orders came into being."
"It can be said that if it hadn't been for that great astrologer, Qiandao wouldn't be where it is today. It was her use of hydrodivination that changed the destiny of Qiandao."
As Luzi's final words fell, Vivian nodded in understanding, still a little immersed in the thrilling and tense story just now, unable to extricate herself.
After seeing this, Luzi smiled and added:
"Of course, because it is passed down by word of mouth among the people, and the story is too legendary, it is too old to be verified, which leads to different opinions. Some say that there is no astrologer at all, but it just happened to be blown by a strong wind. .”
"Some people say that the fog cleared with the help of the sea god. Some people even say that the astrologer at the time was actually the incarnation of the water god, because the water god can also do divination."
Water...water god! ?
Vivian's ears immediately pricked up when she heard this, because the purpose of their trip was to find the Water God, unlock the true purification power of the necklace, and treat the Fire God who was troubled by the Fall into the Abyss.
"So in short, the evolution to the present is more like a legend than a Thousand Islands history. However, the name Astorogis has still been retained and is still used today."
"People of later generations, especially those in charge of sacrifices and ceremonies, and those who respect legends the most, in order to commemorate this astrologer, built this huge ship with the first half of her full name, Astorogis, which symbolizes Live, never sink, never get lost, always protected and protected by fate.”
As a member of the "Sheshou", it can be seen that Luzi firmly believes in the symbolic meaning of "Astrogis" and is very firm. Gu Zhi
But the little wolf cub in Vivian's arms sighed in his heart after hearing Luzi's last few "never"s.
Especially when I heard that this ship has such a long history and its important symbolic significance to Thousand Islands, and even more about its future crash, I felt so sad and inexplicable.
This is something that Liao Zixuan did not have at all when he was a "player" in his previous life. At that time, he only valued "level", "equipment", "skills", etc., thinking about how to improve himself, and did not think about how to truly Go deeper and explore to understand what is behind this so-called "game world".
But of course.
This throbbing feeling disappeared in the next moment.
because...
"Sometimes, it is not good to have too strong a legend. The Astologis has not sailed for more than ten years and has almost become an object of worship. Risa-sama feels that the ship is for sailing, not for confinement. Being worshiped in the harbor coincided with the news that Miss Vivian was coming. The combination of these two factors gave it the opportunity to sail again and sail on the sea."
"In other words, thanks to Miss Vivian, we are lucky enough to board this legendary ship and sail on it."
"Perhaps this is the so-called...fate." Luzi shook her head, not just sighing or something else.
But when it reached the ears of the little wolf cub, the taste changed.
What the hell!
Liao Zixuan originally thought that this ship would be sailed frequently, but it happened to be taken out during this period of time. It turned out that it had been parked all the time, and Vivian's appearance allowed it to go to sea?
From a certain perspective, this is also the first... maiden voyage of the Astrologis in recent years! ?
Blanch!
A faint sense of foreboding crept into Liao Zixuan's heart.
Although he knew that this was probably his illusion and he was scaring himself.
But before setting off, such a mysterious thing happened, which seemed to symbolize that this trip to the Thousand Islands was not as simple and easy as he imagined, and the whole journey was smooth?
"I'm so rude. I said so much in one breath. Miss Vivian must be tired. I'll take you to the prepared cabin right now."
After Luzi finished speaking, under her leadership, the little girl came to the interior of the giant ship.
The interior space of the Astrologis, just like its appearance, is very huge and gorgeously decorated. According to Vivian's evaluation, it can be said that it is not inferior to the Castle of Earl Thisl in Fire Code City at that time.
In the cabin level on the second floor, each guest can have a separate room. If someone had told Vivian before that the ship could be like a hotel, the little girl would not believe it to her death, but now...
"This is it, Miss Vivian, please come in. I hope you are satisfied with the room I have prepared for you."
After Luzi took the key and opened the door, Vivian discovered that the facilities in the room were really complete, including a soft and comfortable big bed, a clean and tidy wardrobe, and even a dressing table, writing desk, bookshelf, and tea table. They were all equipped. It is said to be an aristocratic single room.
If I have to talk about the shortcomings, it is that the area is slightly smaller, but there is enough space for one person.
"This... this is too expensive!"
Vivian's first thought was money. She didn't know how much it would cost to rent such a luxurious cabin.
"Miss Vivian, you have to worry too much. All your expenses this time will be borne by our company, so there is no need to worry. You can enjoy all the facilities on the ship."
After Luzi spoke, a question that had been suppressed in the little girl's heart for a long time was finally asked by Vivian.
"Um... Luzi, what is the "social practice" you keep talking about..."
"It's really impolite. I was negligent. The word "pursuance" represents the power structure of the Thousand Islands. Just like in the story of the Astologis that I told you before, after the water god unified the Thousand Islands, the original three major families evolved. Success, today’s Qiandao Sanfeng.”
Luzi raised three fingers to Vivian.
"The three practices are the community practice, the designated practice, and the great exhortation."
"Among them, the Society is in charge of sacrifices and ceremonies, the Appointment is in charge of finance, and the Dazu is in charge of the strength of the warriors. In order to make it easier for you to understand, Miss Vivian, you can map the three lines to the authority structures in your Flame Domain."
"The Society's worship corresponds to the Vulcan Cult, the Appointment's worship corresponds to the Nobles, and the Great Zun's worship corresponds to the Knights."
Vivian was a little confused at first, but after Luzi made this analogy later, the little girl suddenly showed a look of enlightenment, and she finally understood.
"And the Risa-sama I am talking about is from the Sakai family, one of the three major families of Qiandao, and is now the person in power in the society."
"Ah! So...is he so powerful!?"
Vivian automatically imagined Risa into a position similar to Archbishop Maggie.
The little girl soon said excitedly again:
"In that case, as long as we get to Thousand Islands and ask Miss Risa directly, will we be able to find the Water God soon?"
"Of course." Luzi nodded.
"The three practices were established with the Water God as the center. Among them, our society has the closest relationship with the Water God. After all, the Water God is the palace minister and the highest shrine maiden of the Yueyuan Grand Shrine!"
"Eh! Really, really! Great!"
Although she didn't know what another new term "gongsi" meant, Vivian could still understand the words "closest relationship".
She excitedly sent a message to the little wolf cub in her arms:
"Xiao Hei, it looks like our trip won't take a month at all. We might be able to go home in less than a week! It's great!"
No... don't raise the flag randomly!
The little wolf cub expressed his confusion and became even more uneasy. Although at present, there is all kinds of good news...
But how did you say that?
How come you lose when flying dragon rides on your face?
Stop breastfeeding.
Seeing Vivian so happy, Luzi suggested following the trend:
"Since Miss Vivian has arrived at Akabane Port ahead of schedule, why don't I make the arrangements without too much delay? I can see that you are also very anxious. Lady Risa is also looking forward to meeting you, so..."
"How about we... set off today and set sail immediately?"
Without even thinking about it.
The little girl nodded heavily to Luzi.
"good!"
"Set off!"
