Their commission was suspicious.

Chapter 1971 007: Lord Kujo, it was I who betrayed you!

"Magical Girl Raiden Shin, making her grand entrance!"

"..."

"I want to die."

Raiden, clinging to his own leg, cowered timidly in a corner of the castle tower.

Raiden Shin may have some misunderstanding about his own endurance. He thought that transforming into a magical girl would be difficult, but it turned out to be even more outrageous than he imagined.

"Chen Luo, why is my magical girl outfit an idol outfit?" Raiden Shin, who was squatting on the ground, looked up at Chen Luo.

Raiden really suspected that Chen Luo was behind it, otherwise why would this magical girl outfit not look like a magical girl at all?

"You can't say that. I didn't do anything wrong. Besides, I couldn't have done anything wrong in this matter. You made the wish yourself and then transformed yourself. All I did in the whole process was provide you with a Cupid. How come you still think I did it after something happened?" Chen Luo said innocently.

"Then why did I become like this?"

“Maybe it’s because…you’re an idol, right?” Chen Luo thought for a moment and replied.

"Oh, what do you mean? Does this magical girl transformation possess the power to reflect people's hearts, revealing a person's most essential soul, and then gathering power from it?" Raiden's expression shifted.

Raiden has been to bars a few times, but not very frequently.

Most of the time, Raiden stays at home playing games, doing manual labor, and earning Paradise Coins.

Therefore, Raiden Shin doesn't know much about magical girl rituals, but he does know that soul materialization is the perfect match for magical girls.

Because magical girls need magic to unleash their full power, and soul materialization, apart from providing magic and creating a physical body, has no obvious offensive capabilities.

Just now, in order to ensure that Raiden Shin could retain some power while being resurrected, Chen Luo used his own blood to nourish Raiden Shin's soul, successfully materializing his soul. This indeed greatly enhanced Raiden Shin's combat power.

Lei Dian really had to consider whether this was Chen Luo's intentional act.

Could it be that I really have the potential to become a role model who inspires people?

"That's right. Read it as an idol, write it as a pretty face. After all, weren't you just a brainy person 500 years ago? Both strategists and idols are weaklings, but they both have the power to inspire people, so you are very suitable to be an idol."

"Ugh!" Lightning felt as if Chen Luo was repeatedly stabbing him in the heart.

"Shadow! Slash him!"

"Whoosh!" The sound of swords cutting through the air was mixed with the sound of lightning. Wuxiang's sword moved at will, slashing through the air towards Chen Luo.

Although Lei didn't know why his sister wanted to kill Chen Luo, he was certain that what his sister said was true.

"Snap!" The thunderous strike, imbued with divine power, was caught between Chen Luo's two fingers. However, the surging lightning still rose up Chen Luo's arm, only to suddenly disappear after reaching a certain point, as if it had been absorbed by some unknown entity.

Wu Xiang's unexpected strike was instantly annihilated by Chen Luo.

"Really, is this your way of repaying kindness?"

"Anyway, you can dodge it, so it's definitely the right thing to do to cut you down first." Raiden really wrapped his arms around his legs and rested his chin on his knees.

If Lei Dian could kill Chen Luo with a single blow, then why did Lei Dian Zhen go to Kanria to his death under Tian Li's orders?

Why not just have Lei's movie slice Sky Island in half with one blow?

So what the hell is your name, Tianli?

"Alright, don't be sad. Saying you're an idol isn't an insult. If it weren't for the noble and extraordinary nature of Thor's body, I would have actually recommended you to be an idol. But now... never mind." Chen Luo shook his head and said.

Raiden doesn't mind becoming an "idol," but he absolutely does mind doing what idols do.

The idol that Raiden Shin considers to be someone who is worshipped is an idol in a broad sense, rather than an idol or celebrity in the narrow sense in reality, which is somewhat similar to the status of Raiden.

It's definitely impossible to get the God of Thunder to sing, dance, and rap.

"Speaking of which, which of you two is going to be Thor? Whoever is Thor, hurry up and lift the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order. I can't take it anymore," Chen Luo urged, sitting cross-legged on the ground with Raiden.

"Of course it's the Shadow. Thor takes turns being the one, and this year it's her turn."

"But I've been Thor for 500 years, sister."

"But I've only rested for less than a month!" Raiden Shin's eyes widened.

Looking at her older sister's charming eyes, Lei Yingdian slightly turned her head away.

After 500 years, they met again, and she couldn't refuse her own sister's pleading.

"Alright, then I'll work for a while longer." Lei Movie reluctantly agreed.

"Don't worry, I'll be there to assist you. Besides, you've entrusted the responsibility of governing the country to General Raiden for a full 500 years, and you've basically never managed anything yourself. You can hardly be considered to be working, can you?" Raiden sighed and then stood up.

“Now is the time to truly take charge of this country. With the lifting of the lockdown and eye-hunting edicts, you will face even greater challenges,” Raiden Shin said.

Raiden Shin didn't want his Thunder God title back, not because his sister was some kind of fake sister who would kill him if he tried to reclaim his shogunate, nor because he no longer wanted to control Inazuma...

Although Raiden Makoto did indeed view managing Inazuma as a responsibility in the past, he still enjoyed it.

Lightning is simply taking a break after working hard for hundreds of years.

Moreover, Raiden is completely unfamiliar with everything in Inazuma now, so he might not really be able to manage the country well.

As for whether the information in the game can be used to govern Inazuma today?

That idea is rather naive.

The game only shows one side of a person, but to understand a person, you have to look at them from different angles.

"It's true that we'll face even greater challenges after the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order are lifted, but you have to lift the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order first! Are you going to lift them or not?" Chen Luo urged impatiently from the side.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't a scene of sisterly affection more interesting?"

"Of course I'm in a hurry! My five-star quest is still inside!"

"Five stars... Considering I helped you with the commission, how about sharing some with me?" Seeing that Lei Yingdian and Lei Dian were chatting together, Shenzi, feeling that there was no room for him to interfere, moved closer to Chen Luo.

"Hmm? Divine Child, I'm warning you, you can lust after my body, but you can't lust after my raw stones."

"Oh? You mean..." The goddess's eyes lit up.

To be honest, Yae no Miko wasn't very interested in Chen Luo's raw stone. After all, Yae no Miko also had raw stones, which were the kind of raw stone products that every new customer who came to the bar had.

Yae no Miko chose earrings.

The way Yae no Miko wears the Eye of God is by hanging it above her left ear, which is the gaze of her own god upon her.

Now Yae no Miko also has an earring on her right ear.

Yae no Miko seems to be really interested in Chen Luo's body.

"Did I just say something?" Chen Luo tilted his head.

"..." The Divine Child never expected that Chen Luo, who was always honest, would actually lie through his teeth.

Although Chen Luo used to enjoy exploiting bugs, completing quests, and watching others have fun, he was a person who kept his promises.

Not anymore.

She didn't even give her body to the god.

The divine child looked at Chen Luo with a hint of resentment.

Originally, the goddess was the fox who stole someone else's den; now, the goddess is the fox whose den has been stolen!

The Divine Child considers Wangcai to be a major threat! Therefore, the Divine Child has been extremely aggressive lately!

"Regarding how to govern the country, I have already asked Chen Luo for help, but before I can help him, you must first lift the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order, otherwise..." Raiden glanced at Chen Luo, who had been staring at them.

Otherwise, Lei Dian would really suspect that Chen Luo could keep a close eye on him and his sister.

It's clear that Chen Luo really wants to lift the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order.

"Alright." General Thunder nodded.

As Raiden Zhen said, since Raiden Movies doesn't have the official currency Paradise Coins to compensate Chen Luo, all Raiden Movies can do is try its best to cooperate with Chen Luo to complete the commission.

Chen Luo seemed more interested in the raw stones obtained after completing the commission than in the Paradise Gold Coins.

……

"General, please reconsider!" An old man with a full head of white hair knelt in the castle tower, urging Lei Yingdian to relent.

"Hey, Old Deng, where are you from?" Chen Luo looked at the old man with a displeased expression.

Just as Lei Film was about to announce the cancellation of the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order, someone suddenly barged in.

It wasn't a desperate plea for an audience, but merely a small suggestion, or at least that's what they said.

Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their father...

In short, Chen Luo now wants to kill this old bastard Deng.

"General, are you really going to lift the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order?" But the old man didn't seem to care about Chen Luo.

"Someone was able to fight me to a draw in a duel before the Emperor, and I promised beforehand that if I lost, he would lift the Eye Hunting Order and the Seclusion Order; if I won, he would grant me one request. Now I'm going to fulfill my promise, and you're going to stop me? Kujo Takayuki?" Lei Yingdian coldly looked at the people kneeling below.

"No, no... General, did you really fight to a draw with the enemy?" Kujo Magistrate looked up in shock.

(Head of the Kujo family, Tenryo-bugyō. His name is Kogyō, and Bugyō is his official title.)

Kujo Magistrate found it hard to believe that the Thunder General, who could cleave a strait with a single stroke, could actually fight to a draw with someone else.

Has the water been released?

In Kujo Magistrate's eyes, Raiden General's martial arts were invincible, but now that dream halo is somewhat shattered.

Okay, but it can go from being invincible to having no one who can defeat General Thunder, which is still roughly equivalent to being invincible.

It must be that despicable stranger who used some trick to fight General Thunder to a draw!

Are you questioning me?

With just five words, the Nine Commissioners trembled like leaves.

In Inazuma, Thor wields absolute authority.

“That’s right, General, you can use that wish to make them retract their request and lift the Eye Hunting Order and the Seclusion Order.” Kujo Magistrate had a sudden inspiration.

"..." Upon hearing Kujo Magistrate's words, Lei Yingdian silently turned his head to glance at Chen Luo beside him.

To be honest, there's some truth to Article 9's statement.

However, Lei's film had already used this demand to exchange for a fair duel.

And then they still lost, and lost even more badly.

Later, Lei Dianying learned that Chen Luo's original wish was for Lei Dianying to wish for the resurrection of his sister, so that Lei Dianying wouldn't have to pay 1 amusement park coins.

To this, Lei Movie can only say... why didn't you say so earlier?

Raiden later learned that the friend Yae Miko mentioned was his own sister, and that the 1 Paradise Coins had almost wiped out the savings that Raiden and Yae Miko had worked hard for a long time.

The more Lei thought about it, the angrier he became, and his gaze toward Kujo Magistrate grew colder and colder.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

"Please forgive me, General. I spoke without thinking. I shouldn't have presumptuously guessed your decision." After realizing that General Raiden's attitude was different from what he had imagined, Kujo Magistrate kowtowed even faster.

Kujo Magistrate originally thought that Raiden Shogun himself was not very willing to lift the Eye Hunting Edict and the Seclusion Edict, so he offered his plan.

But now it seems that things are not like that.

Kujo magistrate was indeed pushing for the Eye Hunting Edict, but this was merely to expand the powers of the Tenryo magistrate and to obtain the benefits promised by the Winter Ambassador.

Kujō Magistrate did not intend to betray the country; he merely deceived his superiors and colluded with foreign envoys, causing the people of Inazuma to suffer.

Judging from General Raiden's attitude now, it seems he intends to lift the Eye Hunting Edict and the Isolation Edict, so the Nine-Jiao Magistrate wouldn't dare to go against him.

The money given by the envoy at the end of winter, though indeed a lot, was hardly worth the Nine Articles Commissioner risking his life for.

Although the Eye Hunting Order has been lifted, at least the Heavenly Commander is not currently being punished; it's just that his recent efforts have not yielded results.

I lost money, but only a small amount.

If you factor in the profits from the recent expansion of rights, then it's actually profitable.

"If there's nothing else, General, I will accept the order to lift the Eye Hunting Edict and the Seclusion Edict." Kujo Magistrate suddenly had a new idea.

Lifting the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order also brings benefits.

"Okay, sure." Lei Yingdian nodded.

"Then I shall take my leave."
