Didn't you go to Teyvat to earn money to support me?

"I knew it." Shen Liang sneered.

"Having come to Inazuma, you must have seen the people who suffer because of the Eye of God, because of losing the Eye of God. Wasn't Umijima also targeted by the Shogunate because of the Eye Hunting Order?" Ayaka Kamisato stared into his eyes and said slowly, "The Kamisato family hopes that you... will become the new Musou of the East and cut off the Eye Hunting Order."

--------

Shen Liang returned to Earth, went to the bathroom, wiped his face, and stared at the mirror.

Ayaka Kamisato's words were quite interesting.

The Hyakunin Iskkyuu (One Hundred Warriors Uprising) is Inazuma's most anticipated event. The victor is awarded the Jade Dragon Banner by Raijin outside the castle tower in front of the entire city. At this time, the Eastern Warrior is usually allowed to give a speech.

What if the response at this point was to abolish the Eye Hunting Order?

Most people would be taken away by the Heavenly Commander for saying such things, but Shen Liang is different; no one dares to take him away. If he were to say such things in front of the Thunder God's people, even the Thunder God would have to consider the consequences.

The magistrate firmly believes that the disaster caused by the Eye Hunt Order is merely a result of the magistrates of the Imperial Survey and the Heavenly Order deceiving the heavens. The Thunder God only knows about the Eye Hunt Order, but not about the disaster it causes. Once he knows, the Thunder God will surely not be able to bear it.

—Very interesting.

Well, Shen Liang just really wanted to laugh.

The opinion of the Shen family is nothing more than one of the countless court dramas that have happened in China. The world suffers from disasters and the people are in distress because the emperor has been deceived by villains. The fault lies with the treacherous ministers, not the emperor. The fault lies with the Tianling Fengxing and Kanding Fengxing, not the Thunder and Lightning General. The fault lies with Yan Song and his son, not Jiajing.

It's truly astonishing that they dared to say such things in front of Kujo Sara, the acting head of the Tenryō magistrate family. It seems that Kujo Sara also agrees with this point.

But General Thunder...

Does she really not know?

Shen Liang recalled the all-powerful power of the Thunder and Lightning General on Mingzhui Beach, her words that "human conflicts should be resolved by humans themselves," and her lofty and awe-inspiring divine appearance.

Shen Liang had no hope for this.

He rolled over onto the sofa to rest for a while, and then suddenly his phone started vibrating frantically. He found it strange; even though he had been in Teyvat for a while, he had a small social circle and not many people would send him so many messages.

He glanced at them and saw that they were all Bronya's numbers, up to two days ago.

“…Hmm?” Shen Liang was somewhat surprised.

Before he could even open a message, Rosalia and Lilia, who were on the second floor, heard him return and rushed down the stairs like a whirlwind. Shen Liang instinctively wanted to greet them with a hug, but Rosalia simply buried her face in his chest, her voice trembling with tears.

"Brother, you're finally back! Why did it take you so long to come back!"

Shen Liang looked at Rosalia, who was crying her eyes out, while Lilia beside her was also wiping away tears. However, Lilia was better than her sister; she held back her sobs, took a deep breath, and tried to speak calmly, "Brother, there's been a terrorist coup and riot in Aisha, and the airport is under lockdown. Bronya wanted to go and bring Seele back, but she and Seele have been out of contact for two days. Cocolia said... if you come back, brother, please don't let you know; she's trying to rescue her..."

Shen Liang was stunned. Lilia and Rosalia were still children, crying and saying something, but he could barely hear them. He only felt his body getting colder and colder.

terrorist……

riot……

Modern warfare...

Bronya and Seele.

Among the sisters in the orphanage, Seele was the most delicate, even weak. Although Bronya was the most outstanding soldier, she relied on prosthetic legs to live, as her legs were unable to walk directly.

In Teyvat, he lived a leisurely and even comfortable life, flirting with the ladies of the Fools, displaying his divine power before the bureaucrats of Inazuma, and was revered by all as the most powerful man in the West.

But because of all this, he didn't even receive any messages from Bronya, including her phone call and SOS message from two days ago... He didn't receive a single one!

Shen Liang slapped himself hard, the pain making him grit his teeth and instantly sober up.

"Brother?" Rosalia wanted to rub his face. Just now, she had lost contact with the two sisters from the orphanage, and now her brother seemed to have an emotional breakdown. She couldn't help but want to cry again.

Let's tally up the bounties.

It's being typed in progress, please wait a moment. You'll need to refresh the page to see the latest update!

Chapter 105 I am the older brother

No matter what Inazuma experienced, even when facing Thor, Shen Liang had never felt such fear.

That was his sister. You can imagine how terrified Bronya and Seele were in the Republic of Aisha these past two days. Rosalia and Lilia couldn't find him and anxiously awaited his return, even crying uncontrollably, despite their playful nature.

The sisters' fear and anxiety are entirely the fault of the older brother.

"What exactly happened?" Shen Liang suppressed his self-blame and resentment, sat down on the sofa and asked in a deep voice, "Lilia, you tell me."

“A coup d’état and riots broke out in the Republic of Elsa. Seele was studying there at the time, so her sister Bronya went directly to pick her up,” Lilia said. “But soon Elsa blocked flights and sea routes and prohibited people from leaving the country, so the evacuation time was missed. After that, we lost contact with Bronya and the others. Cocolia’s mother guessed it was an EMP attack, and Bronya’s cell phone just happened to be a low-frequency one.”

Shen Liang had studied at the Cocolia Orphanage for many years. An EMP attack refers to an electromagnetic pulse attack, a common tactic in modern warfare. A single attack can burn out electronic equipment within a radius of about one kilometer, destroy electronic communications on a specific frequency band, and even melt relays.

For a small country like Elsa, a few EMP attacks could almost seal off the entire territory. Bronya and Seele's loss of contact is most likely not due to any mishap, but simply because they cannot be contacted.

But no.

We cannot hope that the war has not threatened them... We cannot entrust my sister's safety to so-called possibilities!

"Dean Cocolia told you not to tell me, why?"

"She's already going through diplomatic procedures. Although the orphanage is now basically independent of the officers, Cocolia's mother still has some connections with the Siberian military. She told us not to worry, that neither the Aissa government forces nor the terrorists would dare to lay a hand on us Siberians, and that everything would be fine once the war was over."

Wait?

Shen Liang simply cannot wait!

He dialed Cocolia's number directly. As the orphanage's top graduate, he hadn't contacted Cocolia in a long time. He didn't like her much; the orphanage was under her complete militaristic management. Even though it was peaceful, she still forced the little girls to do special forces-level training. He was always annoyed when he saw Seele or Rosalia with bruises and swelling from the intense training.

But now he is glad that at least Bronya and Seele were raised under military discipline.

It's impossible to get to El Salvador by plane now. Firstly, the visa process takes a whole day, and flying there is less efficient than taking a ferry... Besides, there's a war going on there right now, so flights are definitely suspended.

So he had to find other ways. Shen Liang didn't have any connections; his social circle was almost entirely limited to his younger sisters... so his only option was the orphanage.

"Brother?" A tired, mature female voice came from the other end of the phone, and Cocolia seemed a little surprised.

This is a nickname for Shen Liang. In the orphanage, Shen Liang is the eldest brother to all the children, and he is surrounded by the voices of his older brother every day. When adults like Cocolia talk to the little girls, they often say things like, "Where is our brother?", "Where did our brother go?", "Has our brother prepared dinner?", "Call our brother back quickly."

Over time, people stopped calling him by his name. Pronunciation in Chinese was troublesome for Siberians, and gradually everyone in the orphanage started calling him "brother."

At this moment, Cocolia was extremely busy and was taking a break to answer Shen Liang's call.

"Dean, get me a plane, I want to go to Elsa."

"How many times have I told you to call me Mom, not Dean! At least you should call me Auntie!" Cocolia said angrily, then she paused and her tone changed, "Your voice... why does it sound so much younger? Like when you were ten or so."

"My throat is a little sore, so I took some medicine."

"What kind of medicine can make your voice sound like it did before puberty?" Cocolia frowned, then stopped dwelling on the topic. "You know about Elsa?"

"Rosalia and Lilia never hide anything from me, not even from you, Dean. I'll say it again, get me a plane, I want to go to Aisha."

Cocolia's fingers tapped rapidly on the table, her mood growing increasingly irritable.

The children in the orphanage were almost no different from her own daughters in her eyes, and the loss of contact with her two daughters had driven her to exhaustive efforts. Now, the most mature one, Shen Liang, who should have been sharing her burdens, was actually causing trouble!

"Don't give me that crap!" Cocolia snapped. "What good would you do? A clerical worker like you who can't even hold a gun properly going to the battlefield? You'd only cause trouble! I'm busy. You stay in Tokyo and wait for news. I'll take care of everything!"

Cocolia is usually very good-tempered, but when she gets strict, she is always firm and uncompromising, which is a quality of a soldier.

“I’m worried, I have to go,” Shen Liang said. “I’m the older brother, I’m the only man in the orphanage, I have to go and save people.”

"This is none of your business! You're just an ordinary person!" Cocolia was furious, her mature wife's ample bosom heaving as she blurted out, "Shen Liang! All your sisters have gone missing. Do you think you can handle this? Do you want me to lose another son?"

Shen Liang remained silent for a while, a silence that made Cocolia immediately realize that she had said the wrong thing.

“So, everyone in the orphanage isn’t an ordinary person, right?” Shen Liang said in a low voice.

He wasn't actually that dull-witted; it's just that, as family members, he often overlooked his sisters' special qualities. No matter how special they were, in his eyes they were just a bunch of silly little girls who couldn't be raised.

Cocolia was momentarily speechless, but still adopted the demeanor of an elder and said firmly, "I know I can't hide it from you for long, after all, you are siblings... But since that's the case, you should understand that if Bronya and Seele can't solve the predicament, you are even less capable. I have already sent people to rescue you. Don't worry, Aisha is a small country, no one dares to touch us Siberians."

She then hung up the phone immediately, not giving Shen Liang any time to continue her demands.

Shen Liang gripped his phone, his expression grim.

“Brother?” Rosalia came over and sat in his lap, trying to comfort him, then asked in confusion, “Why don’t you tell Cocolia that you are not the same as before, and that you have one foot in the extraordinary realm?”

"It's pointless to even step in halfway. Even if I were a Valkyrie like Kiana or Mei, would it make any difference?" Shen Liang leaned back on the sofa, with Rosalia and Lilia, as docile as kittens, lying quietly on him. "Besides me, you are all Valkyries in the orphanage, but the director doesn't even want you to participate in the war... In her eyes, we are all not strong enough, we are all children, and it doesn't matter whether we have stepped into the transcendent side or not."

"Then what do we do?" Lilia asked softly.

“Avenues, other avenues.” Shen Liang fell into deep thought.

Chapter 106 Joining Hands with Shaniat

Kiana was the first person I thought of, but I also rejected her immediately.

Kiana does have a powerful background, but she is just a runaway princess with no power to mobilize her family's resources. She can't even afford to pay her rent.

However, Shen Liang only just realized that he hadn't seen Kiana since he came back.

"Sister Kiana?" Rosalia tilted her head and thought for a while. "Oh, she left with the big white-haired dumpling sister several days ago."

It took Shen Liang three seconds to realize that the white-furred ball of hair referred to Celine Shaniat.

It seems this approach won't work.

For the first time, Shen Liang felt a bit disgusted with his own personality. This was just the kind of person he was; he hated socializing and had an extremely small social circle. So now, when he encountered problems, he couldn't even think of any avenues to turn.

He's not used to making friends, and now he's reaping the consequences.
