This surprised many people, who had assumed the general carrying out the Eye Hunt order was a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

The people of Umijima, in particular, had a great prejudice against Kujo Sara, and they were completely incredulous when they saw this side of Kujo Sara.

Xin Hai stroked his chin, pondering the possibility of 'peace'.

However, this can only happen after the 'Eye Hunting Order' and 'Isolation Order' are lifted.

Kujo Sara was unaware that Lin Qiu's book had helped her gain favor; at that moment, she was facing an attack from a 'ronin samurai'.

Not long after she left Inazuma Castle, she encountered a group of 'ronin samurai'.

With her bow drawn and arrow nocked, Kujo Saro truly fought against ten men single-handedly.

Even during the fight, Kujo Sara still had the leisure to think about things.

He hadn't brought any entourage with him this time, and he was traveling on the main road, which was patrolled by the shogunate army. Yet he still encountered 'ronin samurai'.

This suggests that most of these people were lying in ambush beforehand... Only the head of the family could have done that.

Kujo Sara was fighting relatively easily, but as the fight progressed, she noticed something was wrong.

The number of enemies has not decreased, but has increased, and in addition to the 'ronin samurai', there seem to be some uninvited guests as well.

Although the uninvited guests tried their best to act like 'ronin samurai', some subtle fighting style habits still gave them away—the Fatui!

Ordinary people might not notice this subtle fighting habit, but Kujo Sara, as the 'instructor' of the shogunate army, was naturally very sensitive to it.

At this point, the only foreign forces still active in Inazuma were the Fools.

Kujo Sara frowned. With more and more enemies, she feared she would be exhausted if this continued. Was retreating to Inazuma Castle the only option?

In the shadows where no one was watching, several members of the Final Fantasy team exchanged glances, asking their teammates if they should lend a hand.

Ayato's task for them was to monitor Kujo Sara's movements at Inazuma Castle, and to follow her only after seeing her leave the castle.

Supervision can sometimes also mean protection.

However, they still didn't make a move because someone had entered the fray.

"Nine turtles! What a mess!" Arataki Ichito has arrived!

He was very dissatisfied after reading the book. Even the presence of three people on his body could not stop him. He still wanted to go to the Heavenly Commander to "courte his life".

As it turned out, he happened to see Kujo Sara leaving the Kujo family. He spent some time persuading the underlings of the Araki faction before finally arriving late.

"Arataki Ichito?" Kujo Sara was preoccupied, and since Arataki Ichito had arrived later, she naturally hadn't noticed his whereabouts.

"Hahaha! Watch this! Demon King Parade!" Arataki Ichito ignored Kujo Sara and charged forward with his greatsword raised.

"Don't be impulsive!" Kujo Sara said helplessly. Just as she was about to draw her bow and arrow to cover Arataki Ichito, someone got close to her, forcing her to turn and fight back.

"Don't worry, leave the boss to me." Hisaki Shinobu was also there, following Araki Ichito to the left and right, covering for him.

Although Arataki Ichito and Hisaki Shinobu lost their God Eyes, their fighting prowess remained high, and their addition changed the course of the battle.

The besieging 'ronin samurai' realized the situation was dire and decided to retreat.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha~! Now you know how powerful I am, right?!" Arataki Ichito laughed as he watched the fleeing enemy.

Ignoring his smug boss, Kuki Shinobu approached Kujo Sara.

"Something happened to the Kujo family?" Hisaki Shinobu asked.

Kujo Sara nodded. "We don't know if the enemy will come again. Let's leave here first."

After saying that, he stopped arguing and led the way away.

She decided to take Araki Ichito and Hisaki Shinobu with her to find the magistrate, and explain what had happened to them along the way.

She wasn't afraid that Arataki Ichito and the others would find out, because she understood that this matter involved Inazuma, and Akio would write about it in his book sooner or later, and the affairs of the Kujo family would eventually be known by others.

Kujo Sara sighed: "Alas, why is the patriarch so stubborn? Does he feel that since things have come to this point, there is no other way but to give up?"

The story of the first act of Inazuma is almost over. After the traveler rescues Master Masakatsu, he tells Ayaka Kamisato about this information.

Thomas also revealed that the Heavenly Territory Commissioner was preparing a "celebration" or "ceremony".

The ceremony and celebration should logically be the responsibility of the company's magistrate, but this time the magistrate of the heavens was put in charge of the preparations, which is clearly not a good sign.

At the end of the story, Lin Qiu wrote a few words.

[The general is immortal, and the shogunate's policy of national isolation will also have no end.]

What kind of eternity did the god who sought "eternity" see in the eyes of mortals?

However, the most ingenious thing Yingbao is doing now is that she no longer looks at the world's 'eternity in people's eyes'.

Chapter 172 Ayato Kamisato in Action

The first act of Inazuma is incredibly rich in information, telling several smaller stories within a larger narrative.

People from other countries empathized with Inazuma, but because the country was under lockdown, they could only offer moral support.

In the end, Inatsume's future depends on Inatsume himself, oh right, and also on the Traveler.

People are also looking forward to the sequel to the Inazuma story, as this is the first time a country has rebelled against the gods, and it remains to be seen whether they will succeed.

Mondstadt is where gods and their people face hardships together; Liyue is where gods create hardships to test their people; and Inazuma is where the gods themselves are the hardships.

See, the difficulty has been gradually increasing, hasn't it? Who knows, in the next version even gods might have to go through trials and tribulations.

A few days after Lin Qiu's book was released, Dao Qi made a big fuss, with many people protesting.

Unlike the stories of Mondstadt and Liyue, Inazuma is already in a bit of a mess after Lin Qiu's book was released this time.

Apart from Inazuma Castle, which is directly under the General's control, some resistance organizations have emerged in other castles and villages.

These resistance organizations are different from the rebel army; they do not actually want to rebel, but simply hope that the general will hear their voices.

So although they protested, they continued to live and work in Inazuma and had no intention of going to Umijima to join the resistance.

On the outlying island, the Inatsume people surrounded the Hiiragi family, but the Hiiragi family's samurai blocked them from rushing into the courtyard.

The leader of the resistance organization was also very rational. Instead of leading his people to rush in, he had the crowd shout outside to put pressure on the Hiiragi family.

The reason they were so rational was that this leader was actually a member of the final squad that Ayato had planted here, and his mission was not to escalate this matter into a violent incident.

It must be said that this pressure was effective; Shinsuke Hiiragi could shamelessly pretend he hadn't heard it.

But the families under the Hiiragi family wouldn't pretend they didn't hear it; they were stirred up with their own thoughts.

What a brilliant opportunity this is! With Shinsuke Hiiragi resigning to take responsibility, can Senri Hiiragi really inherit the Hiiragi family and his position as the Commissioner of the Imperial Household?

Does a young lady like her have that kind of ability? Does she have that kind of courage?

Even if she did, we wouldn't support her, so where would she get the power to stand against us? At most, she'd just be a puppet.

In that case, wouldn't the task of determining and enforcing the decree fall into our hands? Wouldn't we become the masters?

They were hoping these resistance groups would escalate their resistance into 'violence,' so that Shinsuke Hiiragi wouldn't be able to keep up his act of being dead.

If it doesn't escalate into violence, the magistrate can keep it under control, but if someone dies, the general will have to take action.

Unfortunately, Ayato never intended to escalate to 'violence' from the beginning, and their little scheme was destined to fail.

What Ayato did was not to use public opinion to refute the Kanchobushi, but to use these voices to incite the 'greed' of the small families under the Kanchobushi.

As it turns out, the objective of this step has been achieved.

Once they start plotting something, they naturally won't be as united in their support of the Hiiragi family anymore. They might even come up with some shady ideas and start some internal strife, keeping Hiiragi Shinsuke busy.

In this way, the original "one against two" situation was broken down into "one against one".

Then, have the previously arranged members of the final squad contact Kujo Sara and tell her some evidence about the Kujo family head's 'betrayal' of the Shogun.

Based on Ayato's understanding of Kujo Sara, she would definitely side with the Shogun, thus rendering the two magistrates powerless.

The even better news is that Ayato doesn't even need to contact or inform Kujo Sara anymore; Lin Qiu's book alone has made her decide to take the initiative to approach Ayato.

Active and passive contact affects trust relationships. Kujo Sara took the initiative to seek out Ayato, which was already a manifestation of 'trust' in her mind. In this way, she didn't have to put in much effort to gain trust.

However, dealing with the two magistrates was never Ayato's concern; he had already made arrangements for that.

What troubled Ayato was how to persuade the general, even he himself didn't know how to proceed.

The castle tower also had manpower arranged, but these could only be considered 'skilled hands'; it still lacked the 'decisive move' that could decide the outcome of the battle.

"We still have to wait for the traveler..." Ayato sighed. This problem was really difficult for Inatsume to handle on his own.

Whether they can win or not is another matter, but the main issue is that very few people from the Inatsume clan are willing to attack the General.

That's the General! How many Inatsuma people would dare to make a move?

But if you don't fight with her, you can't persuade her when she gets stubborn, so in the end the traveler has to do it.

Traveler: I've been observing for a long time, so... I've made my move.

At this time, Konta Village, where Tejima is located, is in a rare state of peace, with no voices of resistance.

This is because although Konta Village is not a large village, it is located on a major transportation route. Ayato did not want to cause trouble here, but instead had the members of the End of the Saga appease the people of Konta Village.

Now, besides the final chapters, there are also members of the Fatui Clan in Konta Village, who are watching when the traveler will arrive.

At this time, Hotaru, who was still the 'Pirate King', was unaware that two 'old friends' were already prepared to welcome her.

Meanwhile, at the Kamisato residence, Kujo Sara sat quietly inside, waiting for the head of the Kamisato family.

Araki Ichito and Hisaki Shinobu were not there; they were being received by Kamisato Ayaka in the guest room.

Ayaka Kamisato was happy to chat with the two of them, as she didn't have many friends to begin with and perhaps this was a good opportunity to make a couple of new ones.

However, Arataki Ichito was a bit too familiar with people, which made it difficult for Kamisato Ayaka to deal with him.

Fortunately, Hisaki Shinobu made up for this, gradually helping the two to get along.

Back to Kujo Sara, she had been resting with her eyes closed for a short while when Ayato Kamisato arrived.

"Lord of the Company." Kujo Sara's tone was calm, but his words were respectful.

In terms of status, Ayato, as one of the three commissioners, was of higher rank, but only the shogun and the head of the Kujo clan could command such respect from Kujo Sara in his tone and words.

Now that Kujo Takayuki may betray the Shogun, Kujo Sara will no longer be respectful to him.

"General Kujo, I've already sent people to gather what you wanted to know," Ayato said with a smile.

"However, as you know, the Kujo family is heavily guarded, so this will be difficult. Why don't you stay at the Kamisato Residence for the time being?"

Kujo Sara nodded without refusing. In fact, she knew some of the magistrate's methods. She had noticed that the few finalists had followed her all the way, but she hadn't exposed them because she was looking for the magistrate anyway.

Ayato Kamisato continued to smile, thus stabilizing the shogunate general.

Besides the Shogun, the only other person outside of Ayato Kamisato's 'control' is Yae no Kyouji.

Ayato was unaware that Lord Yaezakura was also planning to come down the mountain to Kamisato-yashiki to communicate with his 'ally', the magistrate of the shrine.

Chapter 173 The Snow Crane Chapter

Meanwhile, the beautiful and intelligent Lady Yaezakura was still reviewing light novels.

You're saying she's neglecting her duties? What nonsense! Being the editor-in-chief is her real job! Being a court official is just a hobby for her!

Putting aside these jokes, she was actually reviewing Lin Qiu's new book, which had just been delivered to her.

"Why did this author... cut the chapter off at such a crucial moment?" Yae no Miko smiled, but her tone seemed slightly dissatisfied.

"Never mind, let's just release it first~".

Although I'm really curious about the sequel to the Teyvat Chronicles: Inazuma arc, I can't just join the 'Repay Lin Qiu' book club because Lin Qiu only wrote a few chapters, can I?
