Beidou said, "Miss Linghua, there is definitely enough food this time. I just don't know how much your company magistrate can buy."
Ayaka Kamisato said, "Don't worry, the corps' reserves of Mora are quite sufficient, enough to buy the food that Captain Hokuto brought."
The sect follows the Shinri family's practice, which basically means that every time the North Star's Death Star departs, they start to accumulate Mora as much as possible, and then spend all the Mora at once when the next grain is delivered, buying up most of the grain and then distributing it.
"Well, that's good. Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that the guys need to eat, I would have been willing to pay out of my own pocket to help you guys out."
Beidou said.
Ayaka Kamisato sighed, "I appreciate Captain Hokuto's kindness, but I still have to thank Captain Hokuto."
Beidou laughed and said, "Don't mention it. I have a kind heart, unlike some people who can't see the suffering of the people."
This statement by Hokuto is ostensibly a denigration of the other two great magistrates, but it is actually a veiled satire of Inazuma's Raiden General.
"Let's not talk about that, Captain Hokuto. This is the priest of our Inazuma Narukami Shrine, Lady Yae no Miko."
Ayaka Kamisato quickly changed the subject.
Beidou also saw Yae no Kamiko, his expression turned solemn, and he said, "Seeing is believing, Yae no Kamiko, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Hello, Captain Beidou, I've heard a lot about your story."
Yae Shenzi said.
"Haha, it seems that Beidou is quite famous... This is Keqing, the Yuheng Star of our Liyue Seven Stars, and this is our friend from Liyue, the Traveler Ying, an honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius, and her guide Paimon."
When Dao Ying and Paimon were introduced, the two of them proudly put their hands on their hips and looked rather silly.
Yae no Miko's eyes flickered. For some reason, looking at these two people, she wanted to trick them into helping her.
"Hello, Yae no Tsukasa, I am Keqing. I have come here with some issues concerning Liyue and hope to find a quiet place to discuss them."
As soon as she stepped off the ship, Keqing went into work mode, her delicate face full of seriousness and focus.
Yae no Miko was taken aback, but then, understanding Keqing's personality, she immediately smiled and said:
"Okay, Ayaka, I'll go to your place then."
Ayaka Kamisato replied decisively, "Alright, the Wooden Leak Tea Room is ready and ready to welcome you all at any time."
As he spoke, he prepared to lead the way.
"I won't stay with you guys. I want to wander around Inazuma."
Jiang Ning spoke up.
At this moment, Ayaka Kamisato noticed Jiang Ning in the crowd. Seeing Jiang Ning's appearance, her heart started beating faster.
What a handsome young man... I wonder how old he is, whether he is married or not... cough cough.
Linghua immediately realized that she had thought something impolite, and gently shook her head to cool down her slightly flushed face.
Unlike Ayaka Kamisato, who was concerned about her appearance, Yae no Miko felt the hairs on her body standing on end.
The tail, which is usually well hidden, almost couldn't resist puffing out its fur.
I hadn't noticed this boy at all; he seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
Moreover, his demonic instincts compelled him to stay away from this seemingly harmless boy. However, upon closer examination with his own abilities, he discovered that the boy was just an ordinary person.
So ordinary that there are no ordinary people who have no special characteristics other than their appearance.
“This person is…”
Even Yae no Miko herself didn't notice that she was being a little cautious when she asked the question.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Jiang Ning, um, I'm from Liyue, here to have some fun."
Just as Ke Qing was about to speak, Jiang Ning continued:
"Well, my family has some power, so they put me in Keqing's delegation for a self-funded trip. I have a good relationship with Keqing, so she just lets me have my way."
"You're right, aren't you, Keqing?"
As he spoke, Jiang Ning winked at Ke Qing, who coughed lightly and said:
"Ahem... Yes, this guy and I are, uh... childhood friends?"
Ayaka Kamisato suddenly realized, "I see... Do you need me to find you a guide?"
Jiang Ning said, "No need, don't worry, I like this kind of travel where I can just wander around wherever I want."
Ayaka Kamisato said worriedly, "But Inazuma isn't safe right now; there are sea monsters and demons in the wild..."
Jiang Ning said, "Well, although I'm not very strong, my skills are enough to protect myself."
Ke Qing also said, "Let him be, he'll be fine."
Ayaka Kamisato hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright then..."
Yae no Miko remained silent, merely observing Jiang Ning. She could tell at a glance that what he had just said was complete fabrication, but she didn't know what kind of person this young man was, so she could only leave it for now. The most important thing right now was Li Yue's attitude.
"Let's go."
"okay."
While they were chatting animatedly, Hiiragi Shinsuke, who had been ignored the whole time, looked quite displeased. Although his subordinates had gone to inspect the goods, Yae no Miko was also watching him from time to time, so he couldn't go too far.
But what gives this Liyue delegation the right to do this? This is Inazuma!
In Shinsuke Hiiragi's eyes, the Raiden General is invincible. In Inazuma's territory, even if the Iwao Emperor himself came, he would still have to be extremely respectful to the General.
This blind self-confidence gradually made him arrogant, believing that even the Seven Stars of Liyue should bow their proud heads before him.
As for compensation and explanations, that's utter nonsense. You came to Inazuma to do business, what reason do you have to detain your people and goods? Isn't that just a matter of Inazuma's word?
However, reality dealt him a harsh blow; nobody paid any attention to him.
Okay, very good. One by one, you will pay the price for your actions!
Shinsuke Hiiragi glared resentfully at the departing group, then flicked his sleeves and headed towards the Hiiragi residence.
"grown ups."
As he was leaving, one of the lackeys saw Jiang Ning walking away alone and gave him a wink.
Shinsuke Hiiragi sneered: "Hmph, this is an outlying island. If you want to leave the island and enter Inazuma, you'll need our paperwork."
“This outsider doesn’t have any documents, does he? And judging from his appearance, he must be rich or noble… You know what I mean.”
"Understood, Master. Don't worry, I will teach this Liyue person a good lesson."
149. Lia: How come Inazuma hasn't fallen yet?!
"This is really... how should I put it?"
Jiang Ning took a stroll around the outlying island and found that the situation there could no longer be described as merely severe.
It could even be described as a feeling of being on the verge of national annihilation.
On the streets, people dressed in Inazuma military uniforms were arbitrarily bullying the people. I even saw many soldiers bullying the elderly and children left behind by soldiers who died on the battlefield.
For merchants, especially those from families like the Kansei-bō or She-bō-bō, normal buying and selling... well, of course, involves drastically inflating prices.
Other business owners either face unreasonable taxes or unreasonable fines.
In short, it's absolutely rotten.
"Why hasn't Inazuma fallen yet?"
Heureya did not appear, but spoke from inside Jiang Ning's body.
She found it hard to believe; didn't Thor care?
Jiang Ning said, "Sigh, in this situation, I feel like we're only holding on by Thor... But doesn't Thor see her people being oppressed like this? Or does she simply not care about her people?"
Heuria denied it: "No, it is the nature of demons to love their lovers. Baal of Inazuma, as the victor of the demon war, should love his lover."
"Huh? Isn't Inazuma's Thunder God called Balzebub?"
Jiang Ning blinked, somewhat puzzled. This was something his own old man had said.
"Is it called Balzebu?" Heulia scratched her head. "The Salt of the Earth is too far from Inazuma. Maybe I remembered it wrong."
Jiang Ning nodded. Anyway, the two names only differ by two characters, so it doesn't matter.
"But speaking of which, didn't Thor sense your arrival?" Heureia said.
"My master taught me this, and I've also concealed my aura. As long as I don't use my divine power or face her directly, she won't be able to detect me," Jiang Ning said.
"Host, let's go check out the castle tower! Let's sneak into the castle tower at night and see what the legendary female deity, the Thunder God, looks like," the system urged.
"No, I don't want to find things to do."
Jiang Ning curled his lip. He just wanted to develop secretly, then fleece Inazuma, get enough demon god remnants to help Gui Zhong revive, and incidentally save some more to see if he could bring back another batch of immortals and yakshas.
Simply put, it means sneaking into the village without firing a shot.
After coldly observing the scene of soldiers bullying the family of a fallen soldier, Jiang Ning decided to get a pass.
"I thought you would help this family."
Heurelia said.
"How can we help? From what standpoint can we help? Besides, this is something that happens frequently. Don't you see that the Inatsume people around us are almost numb to it? If we take the initiative to help, we'll only get ourselves into trouble."
Jiang Ning is no saint. If this were Liyue, and the people being bullied were Liyue's citizens, he would have already used a powerful attack to wipe them out.
However, this is Inatsume territory, and both sides are Inatsume people.
Even the gods don't care; all I can say is that I respect other people's fate.
“Jiang Ning, someone has been following us,” Heulia said.
"I already knew that. Never mind them, let's get a pass and leave the island."
Jiang Ning remained calm. If Daoqi didn't act like a hooligan, he was willing to abide by the rules; it was better to avoid trouble...
"This place that issues passes is really..."
Compared to the thatched huts and wooden houses of ordinary people outside, this place where passes were issued could even be described as luxurious.
Jiang Ning sighed. Corruption, really.
