Chapter 293 Aji, come quickly and call me Daddy
Half an hour later, Xu Ning and Bei Dou marveled at the cannon with triple Barre patterns painted on its base.
Below the platform lay four Shogunate soldiers who were responsible for guarding the cannons.
"Is this the divine bird, the divine bird without a divine bird... what kind of cannon is this?"
Beidou thought about it carefully, but couldn't remember what kind of cannon Xavier had mentioned earlier.
Xu Ning laughed, "It's the Shenju Island Collapse Cannon. It seems this cannon is quite old, probably around the same age as Gui Zhongji."
"How did you figure that out?" Beidou squatted down, curiously searching for the fuse to activate the cannon, but she found nothing.
"It's naturally inferred from the name..."
Xu Ning walked around to the side of the cannon, observing the round demon face with gear-like edges, and casually explained to Beidou, "The island we are on now is called Kannazuka. Many years ago, this place was probably called Kamui Island, which is why the cannon set up here was named that."
"Whether the god eventually left or was killed, without the god, this place was eventually renamed Kaminazuke (meaning 'no tomb'), which must have happened a long time ago."
Beidou was clearly not interested in these so-called historical studies; he probably just asked casually.
Now she is focused on finding the mechanism of the cannon.
Seeing such a behemoth, it would be such a shame not to fire a few shots at it.
"You acted too quickly just now. You took them all down before we even got any information about the cannon. We should have asked them first."
Hearing Beidou's complaints, Xu Ning smiled wryly.
When I arrived, Xavier repeatedly instructed me not to try to negotiate with these shogunate soldiers about "use" or "borrowing" anything.
"Look at my fate, don't you understand? Think about the style of that leader, Hanbei, who was in charge of the Mikage Karashin incident. While I was about to be blown to bits, he was still in Inazuma Castle submitting reports and paperwork to his superiors! Remember, just use the Oni Mask to launch it. Don't ask questions, don't negotiate, and don't waste time."
Since there's no need to negotiate with the shogunate army after all, let's not even let them see our faces.
Therefore, Xu Ning skillfully used the element of alcohol to easily get the guards drunk.
Seeing that Beidou had already lifted a soldier with one hand and started slapping him across the face, Xu Ning quickly stopped him.
"You can't wake him up even if you knock out his teeth, spare him. I've already found the operating mechanism!"
After telling Beidou to drop the unlucky thing she was carrying, Xu Ning led her to the side of the cannon and pointed to the ghost mask, explaining it to her.
"Rotating the left demon gear adjusts the elevation angle of the cannon, and rotating the right demon gear adjusts the left and right swing position of the cannon. Come on, first aim it at the ravine over Xavier's, the place where we just met the Fools."
After Beidou finished adjusting, he looked at Xu Ning and asked, "And then? How do we fire?"
Xu Ning pondered for a moment and then said, "Try infusing the lightning element into the ghost mask."
With a flick of her wrist, Beidou unleashed a burst of lightning. As she brought her hand close to the ghost mask, the entire bolt of lightning was suddenly absorbed into it.
Then the two demon masks on both sides lit up together, and purple lightning flashed suddenly.
Xu Ning and Bei Dou both saw a massive ball of lightning suddenly shoot out from the cannon muzzle, drawing a beautiful parabola in mid-air before slamming into something transparent in mid-air.
At the core of the Tabu Sands, the protective shield there suddenly lit up after being attacked, and then shattered into countless starlight.
"Alright, all done. Let's go back. This shot should be enough for Xavier to get in. Hey, hey, hey, don't fire randomly..."
Before Xu Ning could finish speaking, Beidou had already casually adjusted the direction of the cannon and fired another dazzling shell.
"Without the protective shield, the core of the Mikage Furnace is unprotected. If you fire like this carelessly, what if you hit it..."
Faced with Xu Ning's condemnation, Beidou smiled indifferently, "That's why I deliberately avoided that direction. You see, I hit the leftmost side of the mountain wall."
Xu Ning glanced in the direction the cannon was firing. Large sections of the mountain rocks had been shattered by the lightning, and dust filled the air. He wondered if any unlucky souls might be stuck nearby.
"Let's go, let's go, find Xavier quickly, defuse that time bomb over there, and then you can have some fun with it."
Xu Ning took Beidou's hand and led her toward the teleportation anchor point on the hillside. Beidou still looked reluctant to leave, constantly turning back to look at him.
It's such a shame to find a toy that matches her lightning element so perfectly. It's a real waste to leave it to gather dust in the hands of these Shogunate soldiers.
"Xu Ning, how about we take one of them back to the ship to play with? When I get tired of playing with it, I'll have Mu Zhen dismantle it and make a few replicas to send to Liyue Harbor to guard the coast."
These words really appealed to Xu Ning.
"Anyway, these shogunate soldiers are drunk and didn't see us at all. When they wake up, they won't know how this thing was lost..."
Before Beidou could continue to persuade him, Xu Ning decisively took Beidou's hand and walked back.
"Let's get started. But who is Mu Zhen?"
"Our chief technology officer on the Death Star, oh, you probably haven't seen her. She's always tinkering with all sorts of strange gadgets in the cabin. She only comes out to find something to eat when she's really hungry. You can't usually see her."
The two chatted for a while, and then together they grabbed the base of the Kamui Island Cannon.
"rise!"
The moment the cannon's four legs left the ground, the two activated teleportation and entered the Dust Concealment Cave together.
"Oh my, isn't this the firecracker we left in the mountain stream? Are you going to take it away as a souvenir?"
Xu Ning's body stiffened instantly.
I was so focused on the toys in front of me that I forgot that there was an old-timer demon god named Inazuma living in my Hidden Cave.
This is quite a blatant act of being caught red-handed in front of the owner!
"Hehe, just one, I'll borrow it for a few days. I won't touch the others."
After entering, Beidou paid no attention to the cannons and focused all his attention on Yae no Miko.
"Xu Ning, and who is this?"
Before Xu Ning could introduce her, Yae no Miko smiled and answered Beidou.
"I am Xu Ning's most beloved wife, and..."
Yae no Miko pulled a child who looked remarkably like Xu Ning from behind him. "This is our son, Aji. Aji, come and call him Daddy..."
