Genshin Impact: Being a Genshin Impact Trainer in Teyvat

Chapter 174: Hands and Eyes, the World and the Human World

"Before that, there was a place I wanted you to go with me, but looking at the current situation, I guess that's impossible..."

Thomas spread his hands at this time, looking helpless.

"The entire outlying island, including Narukami Island, is definitely under martial law. If we show up, we'll definitely be hunted down by the shogunate army..."

Hearing Thomas' words, Ye Xing gently stroked Tevarin's neck without saying a word, while Paimon and Ying looked at each other, then couldn't help but tilt their heads and said:

"What place is it?"

"Have you forgotten where we are sitting now? If you want to see it, you can just look down from the sky. Why do you have to go down, hehe."

Hearing Paimon's words, Thomas was stunned at first, then he slapped his thigh and suddenly realized:

"Yeah! How could I forget...!"

"Tevlin, the Wind Dragon, one of the Four Guardians of the Winds... I never expected to see him in Inazuma! I've heard you were the ones who solved the dragon plague in Mondstadt, but I was really shocked today!"

Watching Tevarin flapping his wings and feeling the light breeze passing by him, Thomas couldn't help but be distracted for a moment, as if he was recalling something, and then he began to mutter:

"I want to show you a massive structure currently under construction that no one living on Narukami Island can ignore. It's closely related to the Eye Hunting Order—the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue!"

"All the confiscated 'Eyes of God' were embedded there..."

Listening to Thomas speaking in a heavy voice while tightly grasping the Eye of God that Ying had snatched back from him, Ying's heart was also vaguely shrouded in a shadow.

It seemed that no one had expected that the gods of this country would be so powerful and overbearing, forcing the "wishes" of their people. This was completely different from the atmosphere in Liyue and Mondstadt before.

"It seems Thomas knows Mond very well. We are now Mond's Knights of Honor and Glory! This was unanimously agreed upon by Captain Jean and the Knights!"

Paimon noticed what Thomas had just said, and seemed to want to dispel everyone's concerns and anxieties, so he promptly mentioned to him the glorious deeds of himself and others.

"Of course I'm familiar with it, because I'm from Mondstadt myself."

"You mean Miss Jean of the Gunhild family is the leader of the Knights of Favonius? That's certainly a good fit. She's renowned for her excellence and integrity... Oh, is she only acting leader for now? Haha, that kind of title doesn't really matter."

While chatting and joking with Paimon, Thomas began to tell everyone about his life story.

"My father is an Inazuma native, but my mother is a true Mondstadt native. I grew up in Mondstadt and have been accustomed to its free and easy atmosphere since childhood."

"Maybe it's the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere of my hometown that makes me sociable. Otherwise, I wouldn't be such a local boss on the outlying islands. Even though I'm a foreigner, I've built an unexpectedly strong network of connections here in Inazuma."

"So that's it..."

Paimon touched his chin, rolled his eyes, and echoed.

"In that case, can your connections help us avoid being wanted? I've noticed that no matter which country I go to, I'm hunted by the local military...!"

"Ahem...this..."

Thomas coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

"After all, General Lei Dian is a most noble and noble being, a god that everyone can only look up to."

"Now that we've declared war on General Raiden right in front of the people and the shogunate... I don't think anyone in Inazuma will welcome us, except for the resistance forces on Umijima..."

……

"arrive."

Ye Xing did not participate in the conversation between the few people. He stood on Tevarin's back, glanced at the ground, and spoke softly.

"Is that the 'Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue'? Even from afar, looking at it from the sky, I can sense the vaguely murderous aura..."

Paimon opened his eyes wide and looked at the ground through the clouds. He looked at the colorful flashes reflected on the wings of the statue, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"There really aren't many people around here. Those colorful crystal-like things up there are the confiscated Eyes of God. There are so many of them!"

"Yes. You should know that just as Mondstadt is a 'free' city-state, Liyue is a 'contracted' city, and Inazuma is a 'eternal' kingdom."

Thomas looked down at the island, looked at the statue, and slowly explained to the few people.

"General Raiden is both the supreme ruler of Inazuma and her god. Her will, which governs this country, is eternal and unchanging for thousands of generations."

"To this end, the Shogun relied on the Three Bugyo to stabilize the government and on isolation to prevent the flow of people. He intended for Inazuma to maintain this kind of stillness, allowing the long river of time to flow by, while Inazuma remained unmoved, until 'eternity.'"

"As for the issuance of the 'Eye Hunting Order', perhaps the reason is that the general believes that the Eye of God can provide people with the power of 'change', and the eternity in her eyes cannot allow such instability to exist..."

“Thus, the ‘Thousand-armed, Hundred-eyed God’ statue was created, which can be seen as a symbol of Inazuma’s ‘eternity.’”

Thomas spread his hands, feeling quite helpless about this.

"And Miss Kamisato has been determined to fight since the first day the Eye Hunting Order was issued."

"As for me, now that I have the Eye of God, I must cherish it. I don't want to lose it."

Thomas looked at the huge "Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue" below, and the various divine eyes on it that were flashing with light of different attributes. Thinking of the people he had seen who had lost their divine eyes, his eyes began to become firm and powerful.

"If you hadn't stood up during the Eye Hunting Ceremony and confronted the gods and the generals, I would have lost the Eye of God and my wish."

"I've thought about this for a long time, and I'm afraid this is the only way to be worthy of your determination to stand up for me—I, Thomas, am willing to offer my martial arts skills and loyalty, and fight for you at all costs!"

……

"Based on my long experience dealing with everyone, the Inazuma people are more concerned with etiquette than the Mond people. If you can always maintain a polite attitude, things will go much easier."

Speaking of the issue regarding the resistance army, Thomas unconsciously reminded everyone of the details and experiences of Inazuma's communication with others.

"Of course, with your strength, even if you don't care about these things, you shouldn't encounter any difficulties..."

Thomas couldn't help but smile bitterly when he said this, feeling like he had the power but nowhere to use it.

After leaving the "Thousand-armed and Hundred-eyed Statue", they began to fly towards the location of the "Shrine Bugyo" in the east.

With Tevarin's speed, he arrived above Kamisato's house in the blink of an eye.

"Are we going to meet soon, Kamisato Ayaka and her dog, hehe."

With a light laugh, Ye Xing retracted the Wind Dragon circling in the sky and muttered to himself. Thomas thought he was talking about Taromaru from the Mulou Tea House, so he was slightly suspicious but didn't pay much attention.

……

And in another place, unknown to few people, there was an outlying island, the Survey and Commission Office.

"Damn Ye Xing, and that lingering traveler..."

"You fought General Lei Dian, didn't you? Not only was he not killed by his might, but he even left calmly..."

"However, I am now a distinguished Envoy of Winter, while you are a destitute wanted criminal... The gap between our statuses is like a chasm."

"I will sit quietly on this remote island and watch you flee like rats, until you are finally slashed into the sea by General Lei Dian's sword..."

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

At this moment, in the Kanjo Bugyo Hall, Hiiragi Shinsuke bowed respectfully to a haughty woman, and listened quietly to her exaggerated shouting as if to vent her emotions.
