Chapter 457 Determination and Implementation
"Little yellow-haired?"
Liu Bai confirmed with Nashida in doubt.
"Uh-huh."
Narcida nodded.
In fact, the last time Ying asked her for help, she had already borrowed the World Tree to investigate, but didn't gain much.
Finally, based on her research, she came to the conclusion that Ying was an adventer.
The reason why she refused to answer Ying's questions and said that she had not yet passed the test of God was not only because of the sense of ritual, but also because she thought that after she said it, Ying might not consider going to Xumi, or put Xumi as the last stop of the journey.
That wouldn't be great.
Without the great adventurer who always grants requests, the happiness index of the people of Xumi might drop by several percentage points.
"But I always feel that the little yellow-haired girl is unreliable. Can she beat the God of Cooking..."
"No, girl, let's go to Inazuma too. I'll go see if the little yellow-haired guy can do it. If not, I'll think of another way."
Liu Bai stroked his chin and thought for a while. He was a little worried about Ying's strength, so he made a suggestion to Nashida.
"Okay, okay, then I'll accompany you for a few days."
Nashida had no choice but to nod her head. She didn't have any particularly important research to do recently anyway.
"Okay, let's get going without further ado, girl!"
After getting Nashida's consent, Liu Bai couldn't wait to speak.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared dinner, wait until tomorrow to go over."
Nashida raised her hand to stop Liu Bai who was about to leave and reminded him.
Liu Bai had no choice but to agree, and the two of them went out to eat together.
……
Rice wife, outlying island.
Thomas, a local boss, told Ying and the others that he had a way to introduce them to General Lei Dian.
But connections are an expensive business, and before that, Ying and the others also need to help solve other people's problems.
Although Ying and the others were speechless, they still accepted Thomas's conditions. The first thing Thomas asked them to do was to help deal with the difficulties of the International Chamber of Commerce.
Fortunately, it was not too difficult and it took some time to successfully resolve the dilemma of the International Chamber of Commerce.
After that, Ying remembered that she had something very important to do.
"How's it going? Did you find it?"
After wandering around the island for a while, Ying met up with Paimon and Klevi again. Having found nothing, she immediately asked them.
"Not at all. I flew very high and didn't see any."
Paimon spread his hands helplessly.
"I did find out from passers-by that the Seven Heavenly Gods Statue on the outlying island is behind the Kanjo Bugyofu. It is surrounded by cliffs facing the sea on all sides, and the only entrance is where the Kanjo Bugyofu is located."
Krevy explained to Ying the information she had heard.
"Wow, how could this happen? Then people can't even worship the statues..."
Paimon said somewhat speechlessly.
Every country has more or less customs related to the Seven Days Statue, so in most cases the Seven Days Statue is either in the wild or in a public place.
Normally, no one dares to destroy the statue of the Seven Days God, so people are generally not prohibited from approaching it.
"And in this case, if you want to touch the statue, you have to go to the inspection office."
Then Paimon turned around and spoke to Ying.
The reason they were looking for the Seven Days Statue was to let Ying touch the statue.
Previously in Mondstadt and Liyue, Ying, who had touched the Seven-Day Statue, mastered the elemental power of wind and rock respectively, and his strength became much stronger.
When in Mondstadt, Ying, who only had the element of wind, would challenge Liu Bai in the Memory Space. Once Liu Bai made a move, he would usually be killed instantly.
But when he arrived in Liyue, Ying, who possessed the power of rock element, was able to withstand two attacks from Liu Bai before dying thanks to his superb defensive ability.
According to this situation, Ying can obtain the elemental power of thunder as long as he touches Inazuma's seven-day statue.
According to Ying's understanding, the element of lightning could play a certain role in rescue, so he might be able to withstand three attacks before dying.
"That's all we can do. Thomas didn't tell us how to leave the island, so if we want a pass, we can only go to the Kanding Bugyo to get one."
Ying nodded and said.
……
Kanding Bugyofu.
The Three Bugyo of Inazuma are not composed of three families, but three families with the right of "Bugyo", and each family leads other small families under it.
The leader of the Sha Bugyo is the Kamisato family, the Tenryo Bugyo is the Kujo family, and the Kanjo Bugyo is the Hiiragi family. They are well-known in Inazuma and are called the Three Great Families.
The current head of the Hiiragi family is Shinsuke Hiiragi.
"You damn fools, you terminated the cooperation just like that, and you messed up Inazuma so badly that you just walked away..."
Inside the house, Shinsuke Hiiragi was cursing the Fatui under his breath.
Since a year ago, the Fatui's executive officer inexplicably cut off contact with Inazuma, and to this day, only two or three soldiers of medium status in the Fatui are in contact.
Although he gained the support of the Fatui at the beginning, he was still very dissatisfied with their inexplicable termination of cooperation.
What bothered him was that General Lei Dian seemed to have started to take the initiative to take care of some small matters, which resulted in the two major families being held accountable several times.
Unlike the head of the Kujo family who is in charge of the Tenryo, Shinsuke Hiiragi considers himself loyal to the Raiden Shogun. Although he cooperates with the Fatui, exploits and oppresses merchants staying on remote islands, and seizes goods sent to Kaijima, these people are not Inazuma people, right?
"Master, there is a blond traveler outside the door with two people asking to see you."
At this moment, the steward of the Kanjo Bugyo Palace came over to report.
"The blond traveler?"
Hiiragi Shinsuke frowned.
Considering the work content of the Kanjo Bugyofu, he could be said to be the person who was most acquainted with foreign news in the now closed-off Inazuma. When I heard this characteristic, I guessed something.
"Let them in."
Then Hiiragi Shinsuke nodded, asked the servants to clean up the things around him that he had knocked over, and stood up to go out to greet them.
Under the guidance of the servants, Ying, Paimeng and others were quickly brought to the guest room.
"It's an honor to meet you three. I'm Shinsuke Hiiragi, the head of the Hiiragi family."
Hiiragi Shinsuke sat down opposite Ying and the others and spoke to them with a kind expression.
"Ah, we are honored too."
Ying and the others didn't expect that the other party looked like they knew each other, so they quickly responded.
"It's like this, we came to you because..."
Then Paimon wanted to explain to Hiiragi Shinsuke the reason why they came to survey the magistrate's office.
But he was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Hey, no hurry, no hurry. We finally meet a famous traveler, why are we in such a hurry to talk about business?"
Shinsuke Hiiragi interrupted Paimon with a smile, then waved to the servants to pour tea and bring snacks.
"Eh...are we so famous?"
Paimon scratched his head in confusion when he realized that Hiiragi Shinsuke really knew them.
