Previously the generals were complacent, but now all kinds of changes are happening one after another.
"Is this a bad thing? Master of the family?"
Kamisato Ayato did not answer, but just looked at the castle tower construction site.
There should be someone beside the general to give him advice.
The construction site of the castle tower was bustling. Under this sunny day, the entire Inazuma Castle seemed bustling. There were fewer people on the street, and everyone's steps were much faster.
The start of construction of the castle tower has boosted all aspects of Inazuma Castle. Workers working here can earn Mora, which also means consumption, and consumption can boost various industries.
"Wow, there are so many people in Inazuma Castle now. Why are there so many more people all of a sudden?"
Paimeng was slightly shocked by the scene before him.
Ying looked around and found that there were many more people here than an hour ago.
"Because it's dinner time, Paimon," Kamisato Ayaka explained.
She led the Traveler and Paimon into the Wuyou Pavilion and into the box that had been reserved long ago.
"Linghua, why are there so many people here after dinner time?" Paimeng asked.
Kamisato Ayaka said, "That's because many workers are now pouring into Inazuma Castle to rebuild the castle tower."
"It didn't take long for Paimon and I to travel to Qinglai Island. Inazuma City has changed a lot." Ying said.
"The castle tower? Ah, is this the place where the good priest and General Thunder fought and destroyed it?" Paimon said.
Kamisato Ayaka said, "Yes, Paimon. Are you interested in talking about your experiences during this time? We haven't met since the day you went to Kage Mukaiyama."
The day after meeting Li Mo, Ying and Paimeng went up the mountain to meet General Raiden, but Kamisato Ayaka had another mission and did not go up the mountain.
"Isn't Linghua busy?" Ying asked.
Kamisato Ayaka said: "Now, it's time to rest."
"Let me tell you, let me tell you. The meeting with the general was just as the priest said..." Paimon, as Ying's substitute, decisively began to narrate the whole story.
After meeting with the general and not getting any substantial clues, Ying and Paimeng decided on the spur of the moment to do some adventure missions first - they went to Qinglai Island because the rewards for the missions were so generous.
The story about cats and witches on Qinglai Island also slowly unfolds.
Chapter 434: Beast Realm Hounds Appear
After lunch, most of the people in Inazuma Castle disappeared. Most of them returned to the construction site of the castle tower. Even Kamisato Ayaka left after lunch because she had something to do.
As travelers, Ying and Paimon have nothing to do.
"Wow, I didn't expect that even the cowherds went to work at the castle tower construction site." Paimon muttered.
During the chat, Kamisato Ayaka talked about the Aratake faction. Based on some chance encounter, Ying and Paimon had some interactions with Aratake Ichito. The result of this interaction was that Paimon and Aratake Ichito gave each other ugly nicknames.
Two children.
Ying smiled and said, "Is Paimon going to the construction site?"
"What are you doing at the construction site? Traveler?"
"Moving bricks, our food expenses are not enough." Ying said easily.
"Hey~~~ Doesn't the Qinglai Island mission give a lot of Mora?" Paimon widened his eyes.
Ying pretended to be in deep thought and said, "But, we want to go to Xumi. We need to save some money to go to Xumi, right?"
"Oh, that's right. Woo~~~" Paimon pouted and fell into deep thought.
Ying rubbed Paimeng's little head and said, "Okay, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild to accept the mission. Paimeng is so stupid, how come you didn't even think of this?"
Paimon put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "It's because you, Traveler, brought me in! I, I can think of the option of leaving the Adventurer's Guild right away!"
Paimon's anger disappeared as quickly as she ate the sweet flower-stuffed chicken. When they arrived at the Adventurer's Guild, Paimon flew up first to ask Catherine if there were any good tasks.
As the year-round receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild, Catherine was very experienced in assigning suitable tasks to adventurers. She quickly showed them a task to defeat monsters.
For Ying, defeating monsters is the easiest job. She is quite powerful. This time on Qinglai Island, she even faced a monster formed by the remnants of a demon god, but she killed it in no time.
——The only pity is that the monster called "Rain Gonggen" seems to be renewable... eh? It seems that this shouldn't be considered a disadvantage? Wouldn't it be possible to repeatedly grind for precious materials? Those are worth a lot of money.
"'Mirror Hound', I've never heard of this monster's name." Paimon said.
What she was holding in her hand was the information about this mission, which stated the name of the monster to be defeated.
Ying said: "Hmm, a monster I have never seen before."
"I believe that those monsters are not important in front of the travelers. However... the mission requires the adventurers to go to Narukami Taisha Shrine before going to defeat the monsters... Wow, climbing mountains is such a waste of time!" Paimon said with a pout.
It is a long distance from Kamisato-yashiki at the foot of the mountain to Narukami-taisha Shrine at the top of the mountain.
Ying said, "But Paimon can fly. He doesn't have to walk."
"I was complaining on your behalf, the traveler. It was so tiring to climb all the way up."
“It’s easy.”
?
Ying and Paimon's friendly interaction continued. The Narukami Shrine mentioned by the two also changed to some extent. For example, today, Narukami Shrine... no, it should be said that none of the Inazuma Big Three was in the study.
All the unprocessed documents brought by the civet cats were piled up there. The three giants didn't even bother to look at them and all gathered in one room.
Li Mo and Yae Shinko stood on the left and right, looking at Lei Diandian who was sitting on the bed.
"I say, how long are you two going to watch?" Lei Dianying met their cunning and probing looks and said helplessly.
The room the three of them were in was the living room of Raiden at Narukami Taisha. According to Yae Miko, "Even the Raiden General cannot receive special treatment at Narukami Taisha."
So, she moved in here. Lei Dianying wanted to refute it at first, but when he thought of the castle tower, he couldn't help but refute it.
She usually rested here at night, and spent most of her daytime time in the study. The only exception was probably when she was dragged by Yae Shinko to visit Inazuma Castle some time ago.
Today was an exception. She was trapped in the room.
"Ying, you can't hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor." said Yae Shinto.
Lei Dianying said: "Son of God, your words make me feel as if I have a terminal illness."
"Isn't it? You are the God of Thunder. How could a god like you have symptoms like dizziness? Isn't this a sign of a terminal illness?" Yae Shinto said in surprise.
Li Mo remained silent because the Eightfold God Son had said everything he wanted to say. Of course, he couldn't express himself as eloquently as the Eightfold God Son.
Lei Dianying said: "It's the general's fault."
"Oh, so the general rebelled?" Yae Shinko asked in surprise.
General Raiden and Thunder Movie share the same body, but the general has his own independent consciousness, which is equivalent to having two different personalities in one body, and they will have different opinions when facing the same thing.
Simply put, it is to create and rebel against oneself.
"The General is the solidification of my previous thoughts on 'eternity'. In order to maintain the existence of eternity, I specifically set up the underlying concept that even I cannot easily change the General's thinking circuit." Lei Dianying said.
She did not explain it for Yae Shinto, but for Li Mo.
Li Mo complained: "Ying, are you worried that you might change your mind midway and make Eternity fail?"
Lei Dianying chose to accept and remained silent.
Yae Shinko said, "So, Ying, what do you think?"
"I'm going to go to Shin's place," Lei Yingdian said. "But before that, I want to deal with the matter of the Beast Realm Hound. I'm a little worried about the monsters that appeared on Narukami Island."
The Beast Realm Hound is a monster that appeared only five hundred years ago. It is a very difficult character among monsters. The attacks of those monsters carry a certain power that can "erode" the flesh. It is a power that cannot be defended, and one can only allow that power to erode the body.
In Lei Dianying's memory, the Beast Realm Hounds had long been driven out of the main island, and should only exist in Heguan.
"Regarding this matter, I have issued a task to the Adventurer's Association." Li Mo said, "With the cooperation of the hatamoto, it should be possible to handle it. If you, Ying, don't let me go, I will go there."
"Yeah, Ying. When it comes to dealing with small-scale miscellaneous soldiers, you are really no better than the little guy." said Yae Shenzi.
Lei Yingying's martial arts have always been big and powerful, and her "One Sword of No Thought" has always been able to destroy the world, but as the source of Inazuma's various martial arts, she can also make a single breakthrough with ease. The trick she uses is still "One Sword of No Thought".
But compared to dealing with a small number of monsters that appear in multiple places at the same time, it is not as easy as Li Mo's. "Dragon's Relic" is a real weapon for bullying weaklings. After carefully thinking about his own path, even with the subsequent enhancement of the stigmata, Li Mo found that he was still more than enough to bully weaklings. When facing a strong one, he had to make preparations in advance before he could fight to the death.
In the end, it was Li Mo who dealt with the matter of the Beast Realm hounds.
Chapter 435: Ying's Discovery
Yingxiang Mountain covers a vast area and is covered with forests from top to bottom. Except for the maintained passage, many monsters will be born in other places.
The lush forest is the best place for monsters to live. Jump down from the Naruto Taisha Shrine and rush down through the trees. You will encounter many slimes and hillbillies along the way - most of them are weak monsters. They will be swept away before they grow stronger.
To Ying, slimes and hillbillies are monsters that can be killed in any form. Even ordinary people with weapons can kill the hillbillies here.
"Traveler, did you see anything with your elemental vision? All along the way there are slimes and hillbillies. Wow~~~ Are they really weeds? No matter how hard you try, they are endless!"
After traveling through the Three Kingdoms, Paimon still marvels at the vigorous vitality of the Hilichurls.
Yesterday, I cleared out the hill people in a place, and the next day I went to see a bunch of them. What is the ecology of the hill people like? Why did they appear so quickly?
"The Hillbillies grow out of the ground. The old Hillbillies are thrown into the millstones by the Hillbillies and ground into fodder to feed the young Hillbillies that grow out of the ground, so that they can grow up quickly."
"Ah-ah!!!" Paimon's eyes widened, his voice trembling: "Traveler, Traveler, what are you talking about!"
"I'm deceiving Paimon." Ying said with a smile.
"Why are you kidding me! It's so scary!" Paimeng punched Ying with his little fist.
Ying just smiled. Paimon's angry reaction was very interesting. She let Paimon vent his anger and waited until it was almost time for her to respond.
"Except for the fact that the Hilichurls grew out of the ground, aren't the rest of the contents written by Ms. Alice in the Teyvat Tourist Guide? You read it at that time, too."
"I, I forgot... Don't laugh, traveler."
It was noisy and noisy. Through the elemental vision, Ying discovered some unusual clues and rushed over immediately.
Paimon followed Ying's footsteps and shouted, "Traveler, traveler, what did you find?"
"The footprints should be those of the Beast Realm hound."
"Great, then we can finish the fight quickly, and then we can go back to Inazuma to eat delicious food!"
Paimon was very happy, she cheered. The original intention of accepting this beast hound mission was that the two of them did not eat delicious Mora.
Ying's tracking skills were very good, and the footprints were clearly visible under the elemental vision. Following the footprints all the way, he walked out of the jungle and saw a wolf-like creature appearing between the mountain wall and the rocks in the distance.
