"Report, Lord Palace Master, according to the information received by the Society Commissioner, Liyue's Geo King will soon come to Inazuma for a visit!"
"what?"
Yae Shinko turned around in astonishment and looked at the messenger who was climbing up breathlessly.
"Don't talk nonsense, this kind of news is not ordinary!"
Yae Shinko said this subconsciously. After all, the seven gods would not visit each other easily. After Ying became the God of Thunder, the God of Rock had never come to Inazuma. It had been many years.
And now, I just made an exclamation, and the next moment Rock God is coming to visit Inazuma. This is a bit too coincidental.
This is exactly the same plot development as in Yaedou's novel.
"Palace Chief, at least that's what the news inside the Shrine Commissioner says, and the one who delivered the news was an official from Liyue stationed in Inazuma. Right now the Shrine Commissioner and other commissioners are in chaos, so Kamisato-sama delivered the information to me. I hope you, as the chief of Narukami Taisha, can get involved."
"That guy asked you to convey it? Hmm..."
Hearing that it was Kamisato Ayato who sent someone to convey the message, Yae Kamiko raised her eyebrows. Although the efficiency of several magistrates is extremely low now and they often make mistakes, at least the top leaders of the society, especially Kamisato Ayato, are indeed first-class in ability and are quite famous among the new generation of Inazuma.
Since he had someone pass the information over, it must have confirmed the accuracy of the news.
"When will Lord Yanshen come?"
Yae Shinko asked a crucial question.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be tomorrow."
"what?"
Yae Shinto looked at the messenger in disbelief.
The messenger had no choice but to say, "You know, the situation under these major magistrates, when the people below received the news from Liyue officials that the God of Rock was going to visit Inazuma, they just regarded it as a joke, so they did not report it."
"A week later, when the Liyue official came to inquire about the situation again, the person who received the relevant business was shocked to find that this matter was actually true, so he quickly notified his superiors."
"This is also the reason why the several major magistrate offices are in chaos now. After all, Lord Yanshen will come here to visit tomorrow, and we haven't come up with a suitable plan yet. Even the adults in the several major magistrate offices are still arguing..."
"That's why your Lord Kamisato informed me, right?"
Yae Kamiko is certainly not a stupid person. On the contrary, she knows too well the styles of the several major magistrates of Inazuma. They would discuss the smallest matters for dozens of rounds. It was still okay on normal days, when she could still have time to argue and shirk responsibility with these guys. But now that she is about to die, she has no time to let them do this.
"...In the name of my chief priest, notify the several magistrates to temporarily follow Kamisato Ayato's orders and immediately arrange the reception ceremony. If something goes wrong this time, I believe Lord Narukami will probably not be too happy. If the magistrates of the magistrates do not want to face Lei Ting's wrath, then they'd better obey orders obediently."
Yae Kamiko sighed and gave the order anyway. That guy Kamisato Ayato really succeeded in his plan this time.
No matter what, as long as he can successfully suppress the other enforcement offices this time, he will have more confidence and authority to suppress the other enforcement offices in the future.
Although he felt a little unhappy about being taken advantage of, he still had to observe the proper etiquette. After all, the visitor was not an ordinary person. His qualifications were far beyond what Thor could match. It could even be said that even Thor had to salute him with great respect.
153 Zhongli, you don’t want to get married. Do you have a hidden illness?
"Oh my, this is Inazuma, it's really great, look at that huge temple, and the soldiers fighting, eh... why are there soldiers fighting, although I want to come to Inazuma to develop business, but isn't this too intense?"
On the huge wooden boat, Walnut looked into the distance and said with some surprise.
"Master Hu, don't get too excited. I know a little about the situation in Inazuma. I heard from the merchants who returned to Liyue that Inazuma now has a place called Haigi Island. There is a resistance army here, led by the present-day human god priestess Xinhai, who is resisting the shogunate represented by General Raiden."
Zhongli, who was sitting nearby and drinking tea, shook his head helplessly and told him what he knew.
"I see. Oh, it seems that this Inazuma God isn't doing a very good job. Even the people of her own country are rebelling against her rule. Our Emperor is indeed very capable. Liyue is thriving under her rule."
"And most importantly, the Emperor is willing to lead us to expand the market. I declare that from now on, the Emperor will be my highest belief!"
"So, who did Master Hu believe in before?"
"Before? Of course it was Mora, Zhongli, don't you think about it? If I hadn't worked hard to expand the market and sell various packages, how could I have supported someone like you who doesn't even have much concept of money but spends lavishly?"
"But now that you're a civil servant, you have Seven Stars paying you a salary, so I'm much more comfortable here. However, as a qualified boss, I can't just stop here. If you lose your job in the future, I can still give you some money for your retirement."
"You have worked in my Hall of the Dead for so long. If you die of old age in the future, I will spend a lot of money to give you a funeral that is no less than the ceremony of sending an immortal. How about it? Are you moved to tears to have a boss like me?"
Walnut put her hands on her hips and said proudly.
"Uh..." Zhongli looked a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Master Hu, look at Mr. Zhongli, he spends all day slacking off and playing with his bird, just like a street urchin. His life is so easy, unlike you who work so hard. If you don't pay attention to your health and keep running around like this every day, Mr. Zhongli might live longer than you."
Baizhi walked over, glanced at Zhongli, then smiled and spoke to Hutao.
"How is that possible? This hall master is so young, Zhongli must be at least... uh... wait, Zhongli, how old are you?"
When talking about Zhongli's age, Hu Tao got stuck halfway. At this moment, she realized a problem, which was that she couldn't accurately tell Zhongli's age, because from the outside, Zhongli looked to be only in his 20s, but from his temperament, he always felt like an old man.
He is as steady as an old dog in his speech and actions, making it impossible to tell his age.
Plus there is the Rock God's Eye.
As everyone knows, the Eye of God can effectively prolong the life of its holder, so when asked to tell Zhongli's age, she really couldn't tell.
"My age...um...32 years old." Zhongli hesitated and said a number.
"32 years old? Zhongli, you are so old! You are twice as old as me. How come you haven't got married yet at your age? This shouldn't be the case. You are so handsome and knowledgeable. You must be the dream lover of many girls."
"Could it be..." Hu Tao looked Zhongli up and down.
"If you have any unspeakable secrets, you can actually talk to me, your boss. If it can be cured, go ahead and get it treated. I can reimburse you for the cost. If that doesn't work, don't we still have the Emperor? The Emperor will definitely find a way to treat you."
"Other people get married at the age of 16, and at the age of 32, they are all grandfathers. You are still single at your age. As a boss, I am worried."
Hu Tao patted Zhongli's shoulder with an expression that said, "I understand."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhongli is already 32 years old and still unmarried. This really worries me. Such an outstanding talent cannot remain single forever. Tell me which one you like and I will help you propose marriage. Even if it is difficult to find a match, I can find one for you."
Baizhi also joined in the fun. Even though Zhongli was over 6000 years old, his face turned red after hearing this.
"Emperor, and Hall Master, I am not married yet not because of any hidden illness, but because I am used to being alone. I am too casual and indifferent. If a girl really follows me, it would be like following a stone. It is better not to harm others."
Zhongli smiled bitterly and replied.
"Mr. Zhongli, do you really not have someone you like? I can give you a promise. As long as you tell me who you like, I will help you no matter how difficult it is."
Bai Zhi repeated what she had just said in a subtle tone.
Zhongli also shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I... also had feelings for a certain woman, but that is in the past. Time flies, the past is in the past and will never come back. My current state is already very good, I am free and at ease."
He still remembered that woman, but that was during the Demon War. Unless time was reversed, the dead could not be resurrected.
As for ordinary women, the life span gap between the two is too big, and the final result is mostly just a sigh.
Thinking of the difference in lifespans, Zhongli glanced at Hu Tao. Thinking of what Hu Tao had just said to him, about giving him a grand funeral that could rival the ceremony of sending off an immortal, he could only shake his head.
I don’t know how many times I will have to endure this kind of pain.
Perhaps, only when one day, I am completely worn out, this cycle of torture will be much better.
"Oh~ Since Mr. Zhongli said so, I won't force you. But if Mr. Zhongli needs anything in the future, I can help you."
As soon as Bai Zhi finished speaking, she heard a whistle, followed by the captain's shout:
"Those guys are using artillery shells, we have to get out of the way quickly!!"
Along with the captain's voice, the whole ship began to move rapidly, but then another teeth-grinding noise came from under the ship.
"Captain, we have hit a reef. We must dock as soon as possible for repairs, otherwise we will sink soon."
Soon, the captain ran onto the deck and said respectfully to Bai Zhi: "I'm sorry, Emperor, the hull was hit by a reef just now. I'm afraid we can only disembark nearby..."
154 Goro's Surprise
"Who are you? Are you from the shogunate?"
As soon as the boat docked at the shore, a group of foot soldiers dressed in very Inazuma-style clothes surrounded it, holding their spears and looking vigilantly at Baizhi, Zhongli and others on the boat.
"Hey, everyone, we are Liyue officials who are planning to visit Inazuma. Please give us some convenience."
The captain raised his hands and slowly walked down from the boat while explaining to the soldiers.
"A Liyue official visiting Inazuma?"
A young voice came from behind the soldiers. Following this voice, the soldiers made way and a young boy with animal ears walked out.
Bai Zhi knew this man; he was the general of Haigi Island, Goro.
"Yes, we are officials from Liyue, and here are our relevant documents."
The captain took out a stack of documents from his arms and handed them to Goro.
"Hmm..." Goro hesitated for a moment, but still took the documents, read them carefully, and then his eyes widened.
"Liyue is visiting. The visitors are... Hu Tao, the head of the Wangsheng Hall, Zhongli, the guest official, and the God of Rock...? Wait, the God of Rock?!"
Wu Lang raised his head, his face full of astonishment. He wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes or if he couldn't read. It clearly said "Visitor, the Geo God of Liyue" on the sign.
"Uh... yes, sir, our emperor is on the ship now. He came here because he wants to visit Inazuma to discuss some matters."
Wu Lang was silent for a long time before he reacted, "No matter what, this is really shocking. Lord Iwagami is on this ship..."
He didn't know what to say. Even in Inazuma, these rebels did not dare to say that they were rebelling against Lord Thunder God, but rather they were rebelling against the tyranny of the shogunate and the Eye Hunting Order.
This is enough to show the supreme and respected status of gods in the eyes of ordinary people.
Compared to their Lord Thunder God, the Rock God of Liyue is known as the oldest of the Seven Gods. Even the Mora that everyone uses was created by this god. How could he remain calm?
This is equivalent to the situation on Earth where Qin Shihuang is still alive today and has unified the world, and an ordinary person would see a similar scene.
What's more, he is also using the power of the Rock God's Eye.
If the gods had not cast their gaze on him, how could he have gained such power and become the general of Umijima?
"Don't be so nervous, it's just an ordinary visit. But you, young man, why did you go to war with Inazuma's shogunate army?"
Bai Zhi floated down slowly, and then asked knowingly.
"You...are you Lord Yanshen?!"
Goro's mouth has grown even bigger than before. According to various records, Lord Iwagami is always a very majestic man. How come he has become like this dragon-horned loli?
Am I in the wrong world line, just like the plot in the light novel that Xinhai likes to read?
"Yes, this is our Lord Emperor. You are surprised, right? But this is the Emperor's appearance after his transformation. It is normal that he is different from before. And you haven't answered the question the Emperor asked you just now. Tell us about it. It will also help my Wangsheng Hall expand its market."
Walnut blurted out, his words coming out like a string of cannonballs.
"Uh, ah, the Emperor's transformation..." Wu Lang scratched his head. He was a little skeptical, but there was no need for these people to use this reason to deceive him.
But it just makes people feel outrageous in various senses, which reminds him of a term in the light novels that Xinhai often reads - super expansion
This scene, which is like the opening of a novel, is full of déjà vu.
After thinking for a while, Goro finally gave up thinking further, because he could not jump to any conclusions. If the other party was not Iwagami, then at most it would be just talk. If it was, and he did anything offensive, if he took his anger out on Kaigi Island, then he would be doomed.
Goro scratched his head and said, "Can you please go to Haigi Island for a while? As you can see, we are now at war with the shogunate. If you go there, it may cause a lot of misunderstandings and even be attacked by the shogunate."
"We at Kaigi Island will find a way to communicate with the shogunate and explain your matters."
Goro thought about it and said these words. Although he really wanted to let Baizhi and others go directly, he thought that even if the shogunate really attacked them and Iwagami was furious, perhaps many people in the shogunate army would die, but the people of Inazuma might also be affected.
Everyone in Inazuma knows that if the even more ancient Lord Rock God gets angry, the attack caused by the narrow gap of the Wuxiang Blade struck by Lord Thunder God may be even more terrifying.
He would not, nor would he bother to, do anything that would bring disaster to the entire Inazuma people.
Besides, if Lord Xinhai knew about this, he would definitely have his own considerations.
After all, this is Lord Yan Shen. If Lord Yan Shen is informed of what happened here, with his status, he will surely be able to persuade the General to lift the Eye Hunting Order.
"That's fine. I'm quite curious about the customs and practices of various places in Inazuma."
Bai Zhi was not in a hurry to meet Thor. Now that she was here, it was a good choice to visit the scenery in reality that she could only see in games before.
What's more, you can also see the lovely Xinhai.
Although in the previous life, the plot of Xinhai was too bad, which resulted in Baizhi not being able to defeat Xinhai, but the plot is the plot and people still have to meet.
After hearing Bai Zhi's answer, Wu Lang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lord Yan Shen was not the kind of person who was difficult to talk to. If it was the general, he might have chopped him down with a knife.
"Well, everyone, please follow me. I will take you to visit our Haigi Island's military camp first, and then try our various special dishes on Haigi Island."
