Chapter 264: The Journey to the Sand (1) Capturing Kallen, the Taste of Kitsusai Palace, and the Tok
As for Tianhe, he was lectured by Kong and Ying because he did not say hello to them and did not return home at night. In the end, Tianhe played with them for a while and made a promise, and they gave up. However, Tianhe did not know how many similar promises he had made, and he only said so to save their face.
In the next few days, Tianhe spent most of his time in the castle tower helping Raiden Shin handle many official duties and solve many of the current problems in Inazuma Castle. He also took time to visit Kitsuzai Palace. Baichen's bloodline has a super recovery ability, so she has almost recovered.
There is also Kallen, the new priestess that Tianhe has just met, but Kong and Ying do not know her relationship with Tianhe. In the next few days, she found that she was able to master the elemental power proficiently, and told this to Husaigong. Husaigong was very interested, but she did not know much about the elemental power.
Therefore, after Tianhe came, Karen told Tianhe that she could use elemental power, but Tianhe was not surprised. With the permission of the chief priest of the Fox Palace, Tianhe began to teach her how to use elemental reactions in the training ground of Dongtian.
But Kallen was so talented that she could learn it right away. Even if she didn't quite understand it, she could understand it after Tianhe's guidance. With Tianhe's help, Kallen's understanding of the elements became deeper and deeper, and her ability to play various elemental reactions became smoother and smoother.
However, as the two of them came into contact more and more, Karen's feelings for Tianhe deepened. One night, Karen expressed her feelings to Tianhe, and then, it was a scene that everyone loved to see. Karen was also taken to that room by Tianhe and was taken down mercilessly.
However, Karen's fighting ability was not strong, at least not as strong as Kitsaurus. When fighting alone, she couldn't even last half the time of Kitsaurus. Therefore, Tianhe had just had a good time, but Karen fell on the battlefield, which made her feel a little frustrated.
At this critical moment, Kitsai Palace arrived at the battlefield as a powerful new force. Kitsai Palace took over Kallen's position and blocked Tianhe's waves of attacks, giving Kallen a chance to rest.
After all, it was not the first time for Hu Zhai Palace, and this white-haired fox had tasted the taste of Tianhe before, and she even came to Tianhe for a time. However, although Hu Zhai Palace was very good at fighting, she was defeated in the end because Tianhe was too strong.
However, Karen recovered by this time, and she continued to take over from Kitsaigong to fight against Tianhe. The battle lasted until noon of the next day, when it came to an end. Of course, the winner was Tianhe, who once again accomplished the feat of one against two.
A few days later, outside Inazuma Castle, Raiden Shin and Kitsaigong came here. Next to Kitsaigong, there was also the shrine maiden Kallen. Because of their previous battles together, Kitsaigong and Kallen had a closer relationship. So Kitsaigong called Kallen over to send Tianhe and the others to Tadashi Sand together.
Lei Dianzhen talked with Lei Dianying about their future battle matters. She also asked the shogunate army to send a lot of food and supplies to support the shogunate army fighting on the front line. As for the gifts, Lei Dianzhen also prepared them for Tianhe. One of them was the dessert that Lei Dianying wanted to give, and Lei Dianzhen prepared a lot of them.
Of course, the gift was definitely not as simple as that. Lei Dianzhen also specially prepared a token for Tianhe and the others. This was not an ordinary token, but a symbol of the highest power and honor of the castle tower.
Whoever holds this token is authorized by General Raiden. Anyone who holds it can send a signal to General Raiden from anywhere in Teyvat, and General Raiden will come in person.
More importantly, the holder of the token can also issue orders to the three magistrates, the shogunate army, or the Okuji clan and their flag bearers. These orders will be regarded as the highest decision made by General Raiden himself and must be executed unconditionally.
For Tianhe, holding this token also means that he holds great power. Of course, having this token also means that he shoulders the responsibility of Inazuma. How heavy is this token? I am afraid only the person involved knows.
However, Lei Dianzhen knew Tianhe very well, and she believed that Tianhe would not abuse the token or use it for any bad things. Therefore, she did not mind handing over such an important token to Tianhe, because Lei Dianzhen had enough trust in him.
"Really, this, this is too expensive. We didn't do anything. A dessert is a good gift. Why did you do this?" Tianhe looked at the token in his hand, and felt touched and uneasy. He clearly felt that the value of this token was extraordinary and far from what he should accept.
Lei Dianzhen smiled and explained to Tianhe: "This is my gratitude to you, and it is also my expectation for the future. With it, you can come to me at any time. No matter what difficulties you encounter or if you need help, you can use it to get our support. I hope you can accept my kindness."
However, Tianhe did not choose to accept it at first, but handed the token back to Lei Dianzhen, saying that he could not accept her gift because it was too valuable. As for why he said that, it was because the token carried a part of Lei Dianzhen's authority.
This means that Lei Dianzhen paid a huge price to make this token. No wonder Tianhe felt that she was a little weak before. It seems that she used part of her authority to make this token, which is precious.
If Tianhe accepted the gift from Lei Dianzhen, it would mean that Tianhe owed Lei Dianzhen a huge favor. Tianhe felt that this favor was too heavy, so heavy that unless Lei Dianzhen died one day and Tianhe could revive her again, he would never be able to repay this favor.
Although, I always feel that his words set a flag for myself. Lei Dianzhen was not surprised to hear Tianhe's refusal. On the contrary, she showed some doubts and confusion about Tianhe's behavior. She looked at Tianhe, trying to understand why he was so determined to reject Lei Dianzhen's precious gift.
"Tianhe, why do you want to refuse? This gift from my sister is very good. Even if you don't plan to use it in the future, you can keep it with you as a commemoration." Lei Dianying looked at Tianhe, wanting him to give a reasonable explanation.
However, Lei Dianzhen interrupted Ying: "Ying, don't talk. Tianhe, I understand what you mean. But this token is indeed a gift from me to you. Whether you accept it or not, it belongs to you. If you don't want it now, then put it away first. Maybe one day, when you need it, you will remember its existence."
Tianhe looked at the token in his hand, then looked at Lei Dianzhen, and decided to accept it. "Well, thank you, Lei Dianzhen, I will definitely repay this favor in the future." Lei Dianzhen was relieved to see that Tianhe was finally willing to accept the token.
Tianhe looked at Lei Dianying, "Lei Dianying, I know you said before that you owed me a favor, but, in fact, you didn't owe me anything, so~" Lei Dianying looked at Tianhe, and she remembered what she had said before, "I don't care, I said I owed you something, so it's owed."
Tianhe retorted: "Then are you willing to give yourself to me?" "I-I am willing, do you dare to ask for it?" Before Tianhe could reply, Lei Dianzhen hit Ying on the back of the head, "Ah!" Before Ying could speak, Lei Dianzhen explained, "Okay, Ying is just childish. If Tianhe wants a qualified wife, I can do it too."
Lei Dianying was aggrieved, "Sister! Why did you hit me again? I was obviously not joking. I like Tianhe too. I really wasn't acting like a child."
Tianhe had figured it out. It seemed that the two sisters were interested in him, right? "Well, forget it. Then, Zhen, Kitsai Palace, Karen, we and Ying will set off first. See you later when we have time!"
Watching the figure going away, Kallen wanted to follow, but she thought that she had only learned for a few days and had no practical experience, so she seemed to be unable to do anything. So, she chose to give up. Raiden really returned to the castle tower. Although she repeated her previous work, she always felt that something was missing here. Yes, it was Tianhe.
Kitsunesai brought Kallen back to Narukami Taisha. Although everything was the same as before, they always felt that someone was missing here. However, they knew that the person had left and would not be back for a long time.
