On the nearby Yamato Island, the soldiers of Kaigi Island disguised themselves as the shogunate army and destroyed the talisman that suppressed the evil god, causing the evil god's breath to leak out, and the residents of Yamato Island died or went crazy. The Tenryo Bugyo was unable to solve the problem and did not want to take responsibility, so he simply tricked the surviving residents on the island onto a large ship and pretended to help them relocate, but in fact he pretended to be Kaigi soldiers and sank the ship to leave no evidence. The blood and resentment still float on the sea.
Mingzhui Beach was the center of the battle, and people were dying every day. No one knew how many of the dead were soldiers and how many were passing merchants and civilians who were trying to gain credit by killing innocent people.
As for the lands outside the battle lines, civilians lost many of the supplies and job opportunities brought by trade. Survival was already difficult, and the government's reckless extortion in the name of war made it even more difficult for them to make a living. Hunger, exile, and chaos were everywhere.
"It's rotten. It's rotten."
Listening to the message on the wind, Huiye's eyes turned darker than ink.
What are you going to do?
"The contradictions in this country are not the lack of military power or external threats, but the fact that those in high positions are either stupid or evil, and the one at the top is a waste of all time. Therefore, I want to exterminate him!"
【Well, if you need support, feel free to ask. 】
A god who doesn't know how to govern a country wants to take charge of the national policies that affect everyone, and even after deciding on such policies, he doesn't even step out to take a look at the plight of the grassroots people. The divine disasters have led to human disasters.
It was so evil that even someone like An Qi, who prided herself on being dark, was so angry that she wanted to flatten the castle tower with a slap!
……
Kujo Sara hurried over.
She knew there was a village here, and combined with what Kaguya said yesterday, she felt that this man was knowledgeable and perhaps a talent, so she paid some attention to him.
However, when she arrived, the fire had already burned out, and she saw Huiye standing blankly in the ashes.
"You, are you okay?"
Kujo Sara didn't know what to say.
War is merciless, and if you don't move away, you will encounter this kind of thing sooner or later. She should have said this. But facing the thin girl in the ashes, such a reason suddenly seemed extremely weak.
"Nothing. All gone."
The girl had her back to Kujo Sara, and her faint voice sounded like the whisper of a ghost.
A trace of pity could not help but be revealed on Kujo Sara's stern and cold face.
"Let me take you away from here first. The rebels might still be active nearby. It's very dangerous."
"Rebels? It doesn't matter anymore. We are all going to die, we are all going to starve to death, and I don't know if the ghosts of the hungry dead gathered together, can let the general take a look..."
"..."
Kujo Sara wanted to shout out such disrespectful words to the God of Thunder, but she couldn't say it facing the village in ashes.
"Those were the good seeds I had collected with all my strength. I walked from the outlying islands to Inazuma Castle, passing by the Chinsu no Mori and Kamui Taisha. Everywhere was being plundered by the shogunate, and everywhere was in chaos. I couldn't find a place to plant. So I crossed the Tadasu Sands and looked out at Yamato Island, and found that it was a dead place. So I turned back and collapsed at the gate of the village. I was so tired that I could hardly walk anymore, so I asked them, can I plant the seeds in the fields here?"
Kaguya said this in a dead voice, turned around, and stared at Kujo Sara with a pair of empty and dead eyes without any focus.
"I have read countless books and conducted countless investigations and research to select these seeds. They are high-yielding and may be able to maintain high yields for a long time. When the seeds mature and their yields are confirmed, I will take more seeds with me and distribute them along the way I came here... Maybe, maybe not so many people will starve to death. Maybe I can save a little more vitality for this country before the general comes up with a solution."
Kaguya spoke in a subtle tone.
Suddenly his body shook.
Kujo Sara rushed over and supported the man.
"puff!"
A mouthful of warm blood dyed the girl's clothes red, and also dyed Kujo Sara's face and eyes red.
Kujo Sara's heart twitched and he quickly wanted to do something.
The girl looked at her with empty eyes, as if she was looking at something farther away.
Are you looking at the people of Inazuma?
Kujo Sara couldn't help but think.
"Maybe... maybe I was lazy. I knew clearly that it was dangerous to plant seeds here. But I really couldn't move, and the seeds couldn't remain active forever. I was afraid that they would die before I planted them... So many people were starving to death, so many people were looking for food, and I couldn't help them... I couldn't help..."
The blood from the corner of the girl's mouth never stopped flowing, and she fell completely into Kujo Sara's arms. Her hollow eyes were half open, revealing a despair that could not be closed until death.
"Hey! Don't die! Hold on!"
With a smile on their faces, Kujo Sara hugged Kaguya and ran towards the military camp at a high speed.
The remaining taxi drivers stood there, looking at each other, each with an unpleasant look on their faces.
"You all heard that, didn't you?"
"Search a little, search a little, maybe you can find..."
"Take action! Don't let her, all your efforts will be in vain!"
Birds of a feather flock together. Most of those who could stay close to Kujo Sara and become her guards were soldiers who still had some integrity.
Kaguya's words shocked Kujo Sara, and naturally shook the hearts of these soldiers. It is better to say that compared to Sara, who bears the surname Kujo, most of them come from the grassroots and understand the preciousness of food more deeply.
……
Huiye is in a coma.
But at the same time, Wendy was very busy.
The wind with a little power needs to be blown carefully across the land of Inazuma to patch up the experience that Kaguya has described. At the same time, it needs to be covered up so that the wind god who has not yet appeared cannot feel anything. This is really a headache for Wendy.
The amount of thought and work involved is much greater than what Huiye casually said!
[You better be able to do something! ]
【Just take your time. Just take your time. 】
【Humph! 】
Huiye fell into a coma peacefully.
It is not difficult to maintain this state of being exhausted and desperate. After all, what he originally used was a dead body. As long as the supply of the Herrscher Core is slightly suppressed, the life activities will decline rapidly. It is very simple.
Kaguya is in a coma, and is thinking about a way out while in a coma.
At the same time, Kujo Sara was almost overwhelmed by guilt.
As a soldier, it was her duty to fight. But this time, due to improper command and management, the war spread to innocent villages and burned the efforts of a kind-hearted and compassionate person who was dedicated to saving people.
Kujo Sara should have been somewhat wary and suspicious, but the military doctor's report of his exhaustion and life-threatening condition shattered all those distracting thoughts.
How could anyone risk his life to deceive others like this?
"Improved seeds, more food, and feeding the people... What on earth have I done?"
Kujo Sara stood in front of the bed, clenching his fists tightly as he looked at the pale girl whose breath was so weak that she seemed like she would die at any moment.
Some thoughts on the Inazuma line
As we all know, Inazuma is an island country. On top of being an island country, the terrain is also very dangerous. On top of the dangerous terrain, there are also a lot of messy demon pollution such as the evil spirit, the demon resentment, the thunderbird, etc. On this basis, there is really little arable land.
There is no vast land and abundant resources like Liyue, and no fertile land with abundant food like Mondstadt. I have always felt that the most serious problem for Inazuma after the trade was cut off was the food problem. Even the Umijima itself was forced to revolt by food.
So regarding the Inazuma line, I initially envisioned two paths: one is that the genius swordsman Nanashi will use the magic sword to defeat the Thunder General, and then challenge the Thunder General, and discuss the pros and cons in the challenge; the second is that the heart-wrenching (truth) Kaguya pierces Ying’s ignorance of reality through the heart-wrenching (truth) and the truth of the data.
As you can see, I finally chose the second route. Because I really think the main conflict of the Inazuma route has nothing to do with power, the focus is on conquering the Shadow. If this step is achieved, won't Inazuma still be able to do whatever she wants? In this way, the power of the genius swordsman seems to be redundant.
Well, to be honest, the plot that annoyed me the most in the original God is the Inazuma plot. Civil war, food shortages, demonic threats everywhere, I dare not think about how many people died. Then Ying meditated in the castle tower, and Tenryo Bugyo drank three cups of wine by himself at the end - what a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp, fuck!
Chapter 30: The Kamisato Family's Favor Trading
"Lord Kujo Sara, her condition is a mental illness. Conventional treatment methods are meaningless. At most, you can give her some nourishing medicine. What she needs most is a comfortable environment to rest and adjust her mood. At the same time, with sufficient nutritional supplements, perhaps, she can be saved."
"So the barracks are not suitable?"
Listening to the military doctor's words, Kujo Sara frowned deeply.
Send her back to the Kujo family... Kujo Sara thought of the stern and almost harsh character of the head of the family. He attached great importance to status and dignity. If he really sent her back, he might even endanger the girl's life. Similarly, sending her to any of the Tenryo Bugyo families that Kujo Sara knew would not work.
As for giving up, that is even more impossible.
The mistakes of her subordinates were her mistakes, and the sins of her subordinates were her sins. Moreover, this was a wise man who cared about Inazuma, so no matter what, he could not make any mistakes because of his own mistakes.
At this moment, the faces of a brother and sister appeared in Kujo Sara's mind.
Kamisato Ayato, the head of the Kamisato family, is a very skilled politician and noble. Kamisato Ayaka, the white egret princess of the Kamisato family, is a master of chess whom Kujo Sara has long wanted to challenge, and is also a member of the three most famous magistrate families in the community.
"A debt of gratitude? Forget it. This is not the time to worry about such trivial matters."
Although it seems absurd to curry favor with the Kamisato family for a stranger whose name is not even known - this is the Kamisato family that even the head of the Kujo family often feels helpless and angry about, so it is easy to imagine that it is not simple.
But when he thought of the girl standing in the ashes, her dead eyes, the blood rushing to her heart, and the words that were full of tears, Kujo Sara was left with no choice.
……
Then, Kamisato Ayato and Kamisato Ayaka received a letter from Kujo Sara for the first time.
Late at night, the brother and sister looked at the letter and looked at each other.
"Ayaka, am I too excited today? How come I received a personal request from Kujo Sara?"
"Brother, the problem should be with this unknown lady... I will arrange the reception. It's just a matter of recuperation. There's nothing wrong with it. And I think given Lady Sara's character, she must have her reasons for making such a request."
"Well, that's fine. The letter says that the young lady is weak and on the verge of death. I'd better arrange for a professional to pick her up, so as to prevent the favor from turning into hatred."
Kamisato Ayato shook her head, but accepted the favor.
The most difficult thing is the debt of favor. Especially considering Kujo Sara's leadership ability and strict and upright character, the value of this favor is immeasurable.
In comparison, the cost is just to serve a girl and help her recover from her illness, which is almost zero expense for the Kamisato family.
There is no reason not to do this business.
……
So, when Huiye opened his eyes and regained control of his body, he found himself thousands of miles away.
"Miss, you finally woke up. I'll go call the eldest lady now. Please wait a moment."
The pretty little maid walked quickly out the door with a surprised smile.
The other maids came over and helped Huiye up, served him tea and water, and asked about his health.
Huiye was a little confused, but only a little. She had seen all kinds of situations before, so she quickly caught up with her acting skills, put on a blank and dead look, sat there woodenly, and said nothing.
"My lady, I am Kamisato Ayaka, the eldest daughter of the shrine magistrate Kamisato family. I know you have many doubts, and it was Lady Kujo Sara who entrusted you to us. I hope you can recuperate well here and recover from your illness. Lady Sara also said that if you have any questions after you wake up, you can write to her..."
"Seeds...my high-yield seeds, and the old people in the village, are they still there?"
"I really don't know the situation either. I can write to her and ask her. We have a special channel and the communication will be very fast. You don't have to worry."
"Ask her, ask her!"
Kaguya grabbed Kamisato Ayaka's wrist, and although she looked weak and dying, she used enough force to make Kamisato Ayaka feel pain. She looked down at Kamisato Ayaka face to face, and her empty eyes seemed to be filled with an obsession that was so intense that it was close to madness.
Kamisato Ayaka was shocked by this extremely strong emotion.
"Okay...Okay, I'll write to you right away. There's no need to worry. You need to rest."
Kaguya still held Kamisato Ayaka's wrist tightly, actually he was admiring the pitiful expression of this young lady who was enduring pain and slightly frowning, but his face was still empty and contained a hint of madness.
After a long while, Kaguya finally let go of Kamisato Ayaka's hand.
Kamisato Ayaka forced a soothing smile.
"My dear lady, I don't know the details, but no matter what happened, you must first survive in order to have a future. I will write the letter right away, but you also need to cultivate yourself well so that you can read Lord Sara's reply, okay?"
"……it is good."
Kaguya responded.
Although his expression was still numb and empty, which made people deeply worried, at least he responded.
Kamisato Ayaka breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up and went out to write a letter.
"hiss--"
After walking out of the door, Kamisato Ayaka lifted up her sleeves to look at her wrists, and sure enough, she saw the red marks from being scratched.
"Miss, how could that be? She is really too much. How could she do such a thing to you?"
"Don't say anything. She must have some hidden reason for being like this. No wonder Lord Sara asked us to take care of her. If we send her to the Kujo family, the atmosphere there... Well, take good care of her and don't make any mistakes, understand?"
"Yes, Miss Ayaka!"
Kamisato Ayaka watched the servant leave with a smile, then she sighed and had to think about what Kaguya had just said.
