Inazuma swordsmith named Senko Muramasa

"Hmm?" He didn't know what the other party was referring to.

“About dreams.”

She set her sights ahead, on something higher:

"I've decided. I'm going to organize a grand fireworks festival that all the Inazumas can participate in~"

"I want all the wishes of Inazuma to come true, but I know that's impossible."

"So, I want to at least do what I can do - to allow everyone to place their wishes on fireworks."

A very simple wish...

"That's a big project, isn't it?"

Muramasa responded, "Before that, we must earn money and save enough for the cost of this fireworks display."

After all, not everyone wants to set off fireworks. What's more, there must be a reason for a festival, and even if there is a reason, you also need start-up funds.

"However, how about counting me in as well?"

"Not only does it require capital investment, you also need this physical strength."

Xiao Gong unexpectedly refused Muramasa's offer:

"No way~"

"This is my own great cause, I have to complete it myself!"

"But since you are so enthusiastic, I can give you the best witness position."

She was still talking about her dreams, but Muramasa noticed that thick thunderclouds were brewing out of nowhere in the direction of Inazuma Castle.

pound--!

A loud thunder exploded from the direction of Inazuma Castle, interrupting Xiao Gong's imagination of the future and dreams.

"A warning to all the people of Inazuma."

The figure of General Lei Dian emerged from the thunder and descended on the castle tower.

Her voice rippled with elemental power, echoing in the heads of everyone on Inazuma.

Everyone, without any prior agreement, looked towards the direction of the tallest building in Inazuma Castle - the castle tower.

"I am the most magnificent and terrifying incarnation of thunder in this world, bearing the name of the Great Palace of the Takenami God Lord."

"Through the power of this body, I speak to all the people of Inazuma."

Kamisato Ayato sat in the magistrate's office, drank the tea in the cup, and there was no joy or anger on her face.

"Off the coast of Inazuma, thunderclouds of this immense power have gathered along all the shipping lanes. All the lightning elemental power contained within them has begun to activate."

"My goal is to promise the people of Inazuma an unchanging 'eternity'."

The people on Haiji Island stopped what they were doing, and their suspicion turned to surprise, and then anger.

"But from the moment of their birth, humans have harbored a strong desire for the world. Desire will constantly breed new desires, bringing unnecessary uncertainty to eternity."

The white-haired boy, who was still traveling in the mountains and forests, looked at his companion in confusion.

"I cannot accept such a vision, but even with all my honors and privileges, I cannot change the world outside this island."

"Therefore, from now on, Inazuma will isolate herself from unnecessary external variables."

Merchants on the outlying islands also heard Thor's declaration, and the workers loading and unloading the goods didn't even know whether to unload the goods.

"At the same time, collect all the 'Eyes of God' within Inazuma and forge them into a Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue."

"Although I cannot change the current situation immediately, I will use all my strength to fulfill the 'eternity' I promised."

The reactions of the people in Inazuma's native land varied. Most of the civilians did not have much to say, but the holders of the "Eye of God" had different expressions.

"To all the people of Inazuma: Takenari-jinn, the Great Palace! I will lead the three magistrates and my officers to carry out the Eye Hunting Order!"

Muramasa was silent for a long time, then he withdrew his gaze from the castle tower and spat softly:

"Like a little kid throwing a tantrum."

The Swordsmith of Another World: Chapter 42: God's Eye and Glass Beads

"What's going on..."

Completely at a loss of what to do, Xiao Gong cast his gaze towards Muramasa, his eyes filled with conflicting emotions.

Admiration and trust for the general, confusion and doubts about the orders.

She is also the holder of the Eye of God and is the first target of the "Eye Hunting Order".

"The high and mighty God, dictating orders arbitrarily... something like that."

Although he had respect for the gods, Muramasa was not a local after all, and his "body" also made him lose a lot of fear:

"Compared to our laissez-faire policy, your dictatorship is more troublesome~"

The girl in front of her wanted to say, "The general is not like that," but the order she heard did not allow her to argue.

"Were you spotted by any of the patrolling Tianling officials along the way?"

Seeing that she didn't know how to respond, Muramasa also changed the topic.

"Patrol...does that mean they're spies?"

"That's right. The guys in the Tianling Sect will undoubtedly know about the Eye Hunting Order earlier."

Muramasa nodded:

"Those guys on patrol are like vaccines."

"Anyone who wants to resist or escape will be given an injection."

There are also holders of the Eye of God within the Ministry of Justice, but in order to prevent possible resistance, they will probably be allowed to continue to hold it for the time being.

"Haven't you heard any rumors recently?"

Muramasa asked Yoshinomiya, or rather Yoshinomiya's "street intelligence network".

"Rumors... seem to be saying that a few people from the magistrate's office have disappeared."

"However, it seems that there are only a few people of the same mind... There is a person who possesses the Eye of God among them, his name is Shikanoin?"

There are always some perceptive guys who know what is coming first, but whether the missing ones are "perceptive" is a question mark.

"I don't know about the rest for now... I've been busy designing fireworks these past few days and haven't been out on the streets much."

Having said that, Muramasa suddenly made a gesture to silence.

His eyes reflected a patrol team not far away.

"Let's go."

"okay."

However, Xiao Gong just turned around, and before she could take a step, Muramasa reached out and held Xiao Gong's waist.

Then he exerted force with his legs and lifted her into the air. In a few breaths, they were several miles away.

……

Inside the thatched hut

Hailing, who had just arrived, had not changed into home clothes. She was boiling water at the moment, with a worried look on her face.

At this moment, there was a bang in the yard——

"Ahem...Muramasa, can you actually jump so far in one breath?"

"It's not a big deal. It would be troublesome if we were discovered."

Hailing looked over and saw that it was Xiao Gong and Muramasa who had fallen to the ground.

"Sister Xiao Gong, you're here."

She smiled peacefully, and the emotions pent up in her heart prevented her from jumping for joy in front of Xiao Gong.

"Ok!"

Xiao Gong responded and noticed that Hai Ling's expression was not right:

"What happened to Hailing?"

"I'm... a little worried about everyone in the village." She said truthfully.

"Because of the Eye Hunting Order?"

"Well, but not entirely."

She cast her gaze towards the distant thunderstorm:

"It's mainly about that, the lockdown order."

Could it be that the village’s business also includes selling fish across borders?

Xiao Gong and Muramasa looked at each other and read the same thoughts in each other's eyes.

"Our village is one of the few that has mastered deep-sea fishing technology."

Seeing that they seemed to be a little off track, Hailing took the initiative to speak out:

"With this technology, we can catch a lot of seafood that other places don't have."

"But the general ordered that it would be dangerous to go too far..."

That is indeed Yingling VII (VIII) Private Enterprise Private House 6 is quite terrible...

Muramasa thought about it, but didn't say anything about changing anything.

At least for now, although the policies seem strange, they are simply the result of the arbitrary decisions of the decision makers.

"Anyway, let's find a way to get through this period of time."

"Perhaps your Lord God will slowly adjust?"

Speaking of getting through it, the one who needs to "get through it" the most is Xiao Palace.

Right now, as soon as Xiao Gong returns to Inazuma City, he will probably be asked to hand over the Eye of God immediately.

"If I could just hand in the Eye of God, it wouldn't be affected..."

Xiao Gong muttered.

"Come to think of it, Sister Xiao Gong seems to know very well what would happen if she lost the Eye of God."

Hailing doesn't have the Eye of God, so she doesn't know what it feels like to have one.

"Um... ahahaha, it's a bit embarrassing to say this."

Xiao Gong scratched his head. "When I first got the Eye of God, I just thought of it as a flint?"

"Later, I casually dropped the Eye of God into the warehouse."

I'm so forgetful...

But if it feels like Xiao Palace, then it wouldn’t be surprising.

Muramasa and Hailing thought so at the same time.

"At first I didn't feel anything, I just felt a little unmotivated."

"In the following days, I gradually lost my enthusiasm for making fireworks..."

"It was only after my dad helped me retrieve the Eye of God that I slowly regained the motivation to make fireworks."

After listening to her, Hailing finally understood something.

"Well, if all I have to do is hand in the Eye of God and it doesn't affect me, then that's fine with me, right?"

Xiao Gong grumbled as if complaining.

That Thunder General confiscated the Eye of God, wasn't he just trying to take away your ideals?

Muramasa muttered inwardly.

"Hand it in, hand it in... That's right!"
