Chapter 635: The Wish Symbolized by the Eye of God
She quickly flew to Kong's side, looked at him anxiously and asked, "Hey? Traveler, what's wrong with you? There's something wrong with your expression." Paimon's voice was full of concern, and he kept circling in the air, trying to check on Kong's condition.
Kong closed his eyes tightly, held his head with his hands, and muttered to himself: "What was that sound just now?" These words stumped the other three. Thomas, Paimeng and Lin Feng looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
When Thomas heard this, he looked at Kong in confusion, with bewilderment written all over his face. "Huh? Sound? I didn't hear it. What happened just now?" He looked around, trying to find the source of the sound, but everything around him was as calm as before, and there was no sign of anything unusual.
Paimon saw what Kong did, so she asked anxiously, "Yes, you touched the statue, and then what?" Paimon clearly saw that something strange happened after Kong reached out and touched the statue, and she guessed that the problem must be due to this contact.
Kong gritted his teeth, trying to calm himself down, and carefully distinguished the voices that just sounded in his mind. Those voices were intertwined, chaotic and disordered at first, but as he focused his mind, he finally determined one thing, that is, they were all related to wishes, "I seem to hear... other people's "wishes." "Kong opened his eyes, and there was still a trace of fear and confusion in his eyes.
Thomas was also puzzled when he heard this: "Wish?" Then he seemed to remember something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he said, "Well... this seems to confirm a saying..."
After saying this, he looked at the three people with interest, with a hint of mystery in his eyes, "Have you heard of it? When a person's wish is strong to a certain degree, the gaze of God will be projected on him. That is the origin of the Eye of God... It can also be said that the Eye of God represents that person's wish. If what you just said is true... then it seems... the wishes of these people are more persistent than I thought." Thomas frowned slightly, as if thinking about the deeper meaning behind these wishes.
After hearing this, Kong murmured, "The Eye of God symbolizes "wishes" instead of power..." His heart was full of doubts. He had always thought that the Eye of God was mainly used to give people power, but he didn't expect that there was such a meaning behind it.
Hearing this, Lin Feng smiled helplessly. He shook his head slightly, folded his hands across his chest, and said, "How should I put it? It's more of a will than a wish. When a person's will is strong enough, the gods will glance at him and the Eye of God will be sent down. That will is placed on the Eye of God, so you will be able to feel those voices." There was a hint of thought in Lin Feng's eyes. He was trying to combine what he had learned with the phenomena before him.
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Kong wanted to ask why, but he swallowed the words back. After thinking carefully about what Lin Feng said, he seemed to know only a little bit. He needed more time to understand the deep mysteries of the Eye of God.
Thomas's face became more serious after listening to Lin Feng's words. He naturally knew a lot about the Eye of God. In many legends and records of Inazuma, there were stories related to the Eye of God. Combining what Lin Feng said with what he knew, he knew that there was nothing wrong with what Lin Feng said. He nodded slightly, secretly sighing in his heart that these foreigners had such a profound understanding of the Eye of God.
But now that we have seen enough of the Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed Statue, it would be better to hurry to the real destination. Thomas clapped his hands, a smile reappeared on his face, and said loudly: "Okay, tourists from Narukami Island, it's time to follow me to the next stop - Kamisato Prefecture." His voice was full of energy, as if calling everyone to start a new journey.
Paimon showed an expectant expression when he heard Thomas' words, and turned a few circles in the air excitedly, "We are finally going!" We have been here for so long, and we are finally going to Kamisato Mansion. As long as we meet the White Egret Princess, we can meet General Raiden. In Paimon's opinion, this Inazuma trip doesn't seem to be that difficult...
Paimeng was extremely happy all the way to Kamisato Prefecture. She flew happily in the air, humming a little tune. The scenery on both sides of the street became particularly beautiful in her eyes. The sun shone on the ancient buildings, giving off a warm glow. The flowers and plants on the roadside swayed in the wind, as if they were cheering for their journey. Everything made Paimeng feel that the White Egret Princess they were about to meet would definitely bring them a surprise.
But when she arrived at the place, her happy face instantly fell. She looked at the Kamisato Mansion in front of her and said in disbelief: "Is this the house of the Inazuma family? It's not as... exaggerated as I imagined?" The Kamisato Mansion in front of her was very different from what she imagined. She originally thought it would be a magnificent and magnificent mansion with towering pavilions, exquisite carvings and luxurious decorations. But although the building in front of her was neat and grand, with a rigorous layout, it did not have the kind of luxurious feeling that would amaze people. It was just an ordinary, larger house.
Kong sighed helplessly and nodded, "After all, I've seen the Jade Pavilion in Liyue and the Dawn Winery in Mondstadt." Compared with those famous magnificent buildings, the Kamisato Mansion he saw now did not seem to have much to be amazed at. It was nothing more than a large house with traditional style.
Thomas didn't say much. He understood everyone's feelings, but the low profile of the Kamisato family was exactly the style of the Kamisato family. He led the three of them straight into a room. After entering, the layout of the room was clear at a glance, very simple. There was only a table and a few chairs. Although the materials of the table and chairs were fine, the style was simple. In front of the room was a screen with a light landscape pattern painted on it. It was impossible to see what was behind it.
Thomas then turned around and said to the three people, "Welcome to Kamisato Palace, two distinguished guests. The lady has been waiting for you for a long time." His tone was respectful and gentle, with a polite smile on his face.
After hearing what Thomas said, Paimon also looked around curiously, her little head turning around, with curiosity flashing in her eyes, "It's the 'White Egret Princess' you keep mentioning, right? Where is she?" There seemed to be only four people in the room, except for the three of them and Thomas, there was no sign of Kamisato Ayaka at all.
