I have no idea what will happen next.
For Jiang Ming, this was a significant milestone.
The storyline of Genshin Impact begins with the Traveler resolving the Dragon Plague in Mondstadt.
The dragon disaster occurred approximately six months before the start of the game's storyline.
In other words, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Yingmei or Kongge should wake up in less than six months.
It remains to be seen what new journey awaits travelers in Teyvat, now so drastically altered.
Jiang Ming glanced at the latest news in his hand.
Jean stepped forward to appease the people of Mondstadt and presented video evidence confirming that Amber, the Knights of Favonius's finest scout, had successfully tracked down Stormterror, whose location had been sealed off by a mysterious force using wind currents.
Cavalry Captain Kaeya has led his cavalry squad to garrison nearby so that they can respond immediately outside Mondstadt if Stormterror moves again.
In addition, it was announced that the Knights of Favonius had urgently purchased a batch of the latest equipment for the defense of Mondstadt.
These measures have greatly enhanced the sense of security among the people of Mondstadt, and the shadow cast by the dragon scourge is gradually receding.
It was also because of Jean's appointment as acting leader that Mondstadt underwent many changes, and Mondstadt people generally attributed the credit to Jean, which has led to Jean's rising reputation in Mondstadt.
The terrifyingly high reputation resulted in a surge of efficiency and execution within the Knights of Favonius, as if they had been inspired by the dutiful Jean.
In particular, they have made a leap to the level of informatization in one step. The current Knights of Favonius are far superior to the Knights of Favonius in the game in every aspect.
It even reached a point where it impressed Diluc, broadened his horizons, and left him in awe.
"Boom boom boom——"
A knock came at the office door, interrupting Jiang Ming's thoughts as he pondered the changes in Mondstadt.
"Please come in."
The office door opened, and Yae no Miko appeared, sitting down in the chair opposite Jiang Ming.
"what's up?"
Jiang Ming gets a headache as soon as he sees this vixen.
If it weren't for a clear advantage in strength, in matters of power and strategy, Yae no Miko would probably be miles ahead of him.
"I heard you're planning to dismantle Narukami Taisha?"
"That's true, but it's just a division of functions." Jiang Ming nodded calmly.
"Aren't you going to explain in detail?"
Yae no Miko's gaze was extremely unfriendly.
They've only just reached an agreement, and they're already trying to take action?
"We plan to separate the functions of Narukami Taisha, such as its rituals and prayers, from its special affairs handling functions. We will establish a new department to handle special affairs, while Narukami Taisha will remain Narukami Taisha."
“I only have a few capable shrine maidens under my command, and I basically handle all the so-called special tasks by myself. Are you trying to transfer me away from Narukami Taisha? Let me make this clear first, I will only stay at Narukami Taisha.”
Yae no Miko was very dissatisfied with this decision.
Jiang Ming looked at Yae no Kamiko with a helpless expression.
"How dare you say that? Putting everything else aside, how long have you been dragging your feet on that Divine Cherry Blossom Purification? Have you done anything about it? Aren't our people the ones trying to resolve this issue right now?"
When the topic of the Divine Sakura Great Exorcism was mentioned, Yae no Miko was clearly taken aback.
"Well, weren't there more important matters before? The Great Purification of Divine Cherry Blossoms can be delayed without any major incidents. The core issues are still the Isolation Order and the Eye Hunt Order, right?"
"I see you're always reading light novels and fried tofu, but there's no rush. This is perfect, it'll help relieve some of your stress."
"That would be great!"
Yae no Miko thought about it for a moment and thought it seemed pretty good.
Aside from having to do less work, nothing else has changed.
She had no interest in doing these things in the first place, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long.
Things at the shrine will be much easier. I can spend all day reading light novels, eating fried tofu, and even bothering Aying whenever I want. Isn't that great!
In particular, it is clear that Yaedo still belongs to her, and she is still the editor-in-chief of Inazuma Light Novel, only with an additional publishing review process.
After lingering for a while, Jiang Ming realized that Yae no Kamiko still showed no intention of getting up and leaving.
"What else?"
Jiang Ming looked at Yae no Shinji with a puzzled expression.
"It's about the Kamisato family. You know, they're with me, and they've been a great help to you..."
Yae no Miko began to ramble on about how difficult it was for the magistrate back then, how much suffering Ayato Kamisato endured when he took over this mess, how much effort he made for Inazuma, and how much he helped them...
After going around in circles, they finally inquired about the arrangements for the Kamisato family.
"We certainly remember the help the Kamisato family provided us in this regard."
Jiang Ming was the first to acknowledge their kindness and did not refuse.
The Kamisato residence had been locked down by them for a period of time, and the Kamisato siblings had been forced to stay at home for some time.
After they finished their work and the blockade was lifted, the Kamisato siblings came out and found that the world had changed.
With the shogunate gone, the magistrate of the shrines naturally disappeared as well.
Ayato Kamisato was no longer the magistrate, so the two of them decided to retire and stay at home.
Fortunately, the Shen family still had some assets, so the procedures were in order and Jiang Ming and his family didn't bother with it. With these assets and their arrangements, they could at least be wealthy enough to support their large family for the next few decades.
However, these two are also key characters who appear repeatedly in the story. They are quite capable in all aspects and do have a heart to "serve Inazuma". It is a real pity to leave them idle.
Chapter 230 The Approaching Trial
"In the past, the Shaman Magistrate persisted in the struggle during the Inazuma Civil War, which played a huge role in our ability to set things right today. The Shaman Magistrate has also prioritized the review of former shogunate personnel."
"what's the result?"
Upon hearing that there was a way, Yae no Miko perked up and eagerly inquired about it from Jiang Ming.
"Most of the people who served as shrine officials had no major problems, so we did not intend to investigate them further. The remaining few people have been taken into custody. Nineteen former shogunate shrine officials who passed the review and were relatively capable were retained, including the Kamisato siblings."
In other words, excluding the two siblings, Kamisato, there are only 17 people?
Of all the large corporate executives, including one of the three major executives of Inazuma, only 17 were able to remain.
Yae no Miko asked instinctively, "Isn't that a bit too little?"
"That's quite a lot. We need people with clean backgrounds and outstanding abilities. The vetting of the Tenryo Magistrate and the Kansei Magistrate is almost complete. If nothing unexpected happens, the total number should not even reach this figure."
The entire shogunate probably had fewer than 36 people who met the requirements.
Yae no Miko's expression was somewhat complicated, but she didn't say much.
A clean background, by their standards, eliminated the vast majority of shogunate officials, plus outstanding ability.
I'd heard they had high standards before, and today I've seen it for myself.
"What are your plans for the two siblings, Kamisato and Satoshi?"
"They..."
Jiang Ming recalled the characteristics of the two individuals.
"As for Ayaka Kamisato, she is the beloved White Heron Princess, a lady of high society. She should focus her efforts in this direction in the future, such as participating in acting or hosting events."
Yae nods, indicating her complete approval.
That's a great idea, and it's perfect for you.
However, his expression immediately turned strange.
"Does this count as debuting as an idol?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming's expression also became somewhat strange.
He also recalled the case of Ayaka Kamisato refusing Alice's invitation to become an idol six times.
"I guess... I wouldn't say that," Jiang Ming said hesitantly. "There are still some differences."
"Anyway, Miss Ayaka is very talented. Even if she doesn't want to do these things, she can probably handle any other job."
He wasn't too worried about Ayaka Kamisato.
Yae no Miko was aware of this, so she didn't dwell on it any further and instead pressed on, "What about Ayato?"
"Him? We're planning to establish a new agency, a special department that's a multinational joint effort. I'm thinking of making him the director. And since he still has the Final Fan under him, we can just incorporate him into that department, saving us the trouble of finding someone else."
"A special department jointly established by multiple countries? What does it do?" Yae no Miko cast a curious glance at Jiang Ming.
"To ensure the strategic security of Teyvat and to provide immediate logistical support for our operations when necessary."
"……what?"
Yae no Miko's eyes were full of doubt.
I recognize each of your individual characters, so why do they sound so unfamiliar when put together?
Has it escalated to the level of strategic security in Teyvat so quickly?
"The report on the attack on Narukami Shrine by the Fools has come out. They used the power of the Abyss to distort our elemental forces. Yae-no-miya, you don't want the calamity of five hundred years ago to reappear, do you?"
Jiang Ming spoke in a tone perfectly suited to his location, while Yae no Kamiko shuddered at the mere thought of it.
"Of course not."
Five hundred years ago, she was still a child, just an ordinary fox, unable to even transform into human form. All she remembered was that Zhen answered the call and went to Kanria. When Ying arrived, Zhen was already on the verge of death.
After that, Ying became increasingly withdrawn after returning.
"And just now, I received news that the Stormterror that attacked Mondstadt was launched under the control of the Abyss Order. I don't know what these forces, who are hostile to the Teyvat civilization, are doing. They should be united by the nations to strike them down, but they are doing just fine."
"Secondly, there are the increasingly unscrupulous fools, especially the doctor's research, which is openly anti-human. We were unable to do so in the past, but now we can no longer let it go."
In any case, they had already made an enemy of the Fools.
