Chapter 716: Society Envoy, Princess Egret

"An evil spirit actually appeared on this outlying island. On the surface, the residents of Inazuma kept silent about it, but secretly, there was an uproar. I wonder if Mr. Jiang Yi, Miss Ying and Paimeng have heard about this big event on the outlying island?" Thomas said with a smile.

The foot soldiers also have relatives. If one of the relatives of these foot soldiers reveals a word, the news of the evil spirit can spread to all the outlying islands.

As a local boss, he knew everything.

I even guessed that this was Jiang Yi's work.

Otherwise, why didn't the evil spirit appear earlier or later, but only appeared after the three people went to the island and accepted its commission?

"I heard that the evil spirit did a good job!" Paimon said, with his hands on his hips, "Someone should have punished those bullies a long time ago."

Ying nodded: "The International Chamber of Commerce will not be exploited anymore."

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Thomas, what do you want to see us for?"

Thomas looked around and said, "Can we talk somewhere with fewer people?"

"Okay!" Jiang Yi said.

The four of them came to a secluded place.

"Well, now that things have come to this, I should be honest with you." Thomas took out something, "This is my business card..."

Paimon looked at the name tag with a unique pattern: "Society magistrate? Thomas?"

"Yes! I am one of the three magistrates of Inazuma, and a shrine magistrate." Thomas bowed and reintroduced himself, "My real identity is a close servant of the shrine magistrate Kamisato family of Narukamijima, the 'White Egret Princess'."

"You sound like a very powerful person, but when you think about it carefully, you are just a servant." Paimon has a mouth that cannot speak.

“Hahaha!” Thomas laughed. “How straightforward!”

"I am not a big shot. If I go to the foot soldiers of the Kanjo Bugyo and ask them to give the merchants a way out, I am insignificant and my words are not taken seriously. Even if I use the title of 'White Egret Princess', no one will take me seriously. So, I can only ask you for help, to help my friend."

Ying put her hands on her hips. It seemed that the other party had guessed that Jiang Yi had done it.

"Now you know how powerful we are!" Paimon said proudly, "Then Thomas... you can talk about the magistrate of the Kotobukiya Club, the Kamisato family, and the 'White Egret Princess'! We just lack understanding."

Jiang Yi glanced at the arrogant Paimeng.

Thomas didn't mind and said, "The three magistrates have their own responsibilities. The Kamisato family, the shrine magistrate, is currently in charge of sacrificial activities and humanities and arts. I don't even know many of their specific responsibilities."

"However, no matter how powerful one is, one cannot interfere with the conduct of another party."

"And I... was just fortunate enough to be taken in by the Kamisato family and be responsible for taking care of the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, Kamisato Ayaka, who is known as the 'White Egret Princess'."

Paimon scratched his head: "'Princess Egret'? Why is she called a princess?"

"Kamisato Ayaka...a very nice name." Ying thought to herself and looked at Jiang Yi. This guy came to Inazuma, and is he going to eat delicious bread?

Jiang Yi pretended not to notice Ying's gaze and listened to Thomas very seriously.

"Haha!" Thomas smiled. "Ms. Kamisato, who is dignified, well-mannered and kind-hearted, has always been loved by the people of Inazuma. Her reputation even surpasses that of the current head of the family, her brother, Kamisato Ayato."

"The title of 'White Egret Princess' was chosen voluntarily by the people."

"After all, Miss Kamisato has always treated even a servant like me as an equal friend. This is a sign that a gentle person will be treated gently."

Paimon was surprised: "Is it someone as famous as Inazuma?"

"Yes!" Thomas took out another item. "Seeing the fan is like seeing the person. If I get into trouble, I can take out this fan and most people will give my lady a favor."

Jiang Yi, Ying and Paimeng looked at the exquisitely shaped, unopened folding fan.

“I thought I would need it after arriving at the island, but you two are truly famous travelers and don’t need my help at all,” Thomas praised sincerely.

"Princess Bai Lu can submit an official document to the general. If you want, Miss can find a chance to write your names on it and see if the general will summon you."

Ying held out her hand: "Is this the method you mentioned before for us to see the general?"

"Yes." Thomas said, "But the general is very busy, and it is difficult for mortals to guess what the gods think. Even if we submit a memorial to recommend you, we cannot be sure whether he is willing to summon you three."

"And, I'm very sorry, this is also a resource and a way... We need to take risks."

"I see. Another commission, right?" Ying was already used to it, and said, "I'm very grateful for this opportunity."

Paimon stroked his chin and said, "I have another question. What's the matter with your identity as a local tyrant? Was all this arranged by Miss Kamisato?"

Thomas put away his fan and said, "You got to the point. To be honest, if possible, I don't want to deceive you."

"You know, you can't fake the identity of a local tyrant. I spent nearly a month getting to know everyone on the island and making friends with Big Sister Beidou."

Jiang Yi calculated the time and it seemed that Beidou had visited Inazuma in the first half of the year.

"Isn't one month already amazing?" Paimon felt like he was in Versailles.

"Haha, I just have a little talent, and this is all for the sake of contacting you as soon as possible." Thomas praised again, "Even with the national isolation order, your deeds in Mondstadt and Liyue have already reached the ears of many Inazuma people."

These people of course refer to scholars and Inazuma upper class people who have newspaper channels.

"After Miss Kamisato heard that you were planning to come to Inazuma, she has been looking forward to your arrival. At the same time, she is also looking forward to--"

"--Do you have the ability to change the situation as rumored?" Thomas' eyes sparkled.

Jiang Yi laughed. This news was reported by Steambird News, saying that they were going to travel to Inazuma, but the rumor was too much. These reporters used everything as news material and exaggerated it.

"Change...the situation?" Paimon wondered.

Thomas got straight to the point: "Just like now, you have changed the situation of the International Chamber of Commerce. The evil spirit is the work of Mr. Jiang Yi! A sharp sword, a very clever method."

"This commission is our test. You have seized the 'opportunity to turn the situation around' and you also have the 'power to turn the situation around'."

"Although it's not quite what the young lady expected, you did better than expected. The situation of the International Chamber of Commerce has not changed a little, but has changed dramatically."

"In this case, with your help... 'Eye Hunting Order' will also..."

"Wait?" Ying interrupted immediately, "The commission you mentioned is not to resist the 'Eye Hunting Order'!"

"What? Doesn't that mean we are enemies with General Lei Dian?" Paimon yelled and stamped his feet.

Jiang Yi didn't say anything.

"Maybe we don't need to be 'enemies'." Thomas scratched his head awkwardly.

"If this is the commission, I refuse." Ying felt that it was too dangerous to be an enemy of God. Just look at the thunderstorm off the coast of Inazuma to know how terrifying the power of General Thunder is.

"My purpose is just to meet General Raiden."

Thomas nodded: "Yeah, yes, I understand, but can you consider whether you can change the Eye Hunting Order by using the method of 'not being enemies'?"

Ying and Paimon were speechless. It was too difficult to change the will of the gods! How about! Just become enemies! Forget it, this won't work either.

Jiang Yi shook his head. It seemed that the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family was desperate and was trying all kinds of treatments.

The request does sound outrageous.

Maybe we can only take it one step at a time and try to win them over, and then we will all work together to see if we can cleverly resolve the "Eye Hunting Order".

But this overestimates their wisdom.

Without power, no matter how much wisdom you have, it will be useless in the face of absolute strength.

The strong won’t look you in the face and change their mind.

Without enough power to attract attention, no matter how reasonable the advice is, it will not be heeded, because the strong believe that they stand higher, see more, and think more broadly.

His heart is firm and will not waver.

"We'll discuss this later! Maybe the young lady will make other requests and ask you to help introduce her to General Raiden. I'll also talk to the young lady." Thomas handed over the items with a feeling of failed plans and a desperate escape, "Huh... I've completed my mission on the island, so why don't we just say goodbye for now."

"This invitation is for you... When you come to Ming Shen Island, you can come to the 'Mokulou Teahouse' to find me as written on it."

"Goodbye and wish you all the best."

After saying that, Thomas ran away.

Jiang Yi, Ying and Paimeng were left standing there in a daze.

"Maybe... Thomas is actually a pretty good guy..." Paimon thought for a moment, "He just wants to use resources to exchange with us to resist some unreasonable rules."

"Hmm, I didn't expect that the Society Commissioner would be dissatisfied with the Eye Hunting Order?" Ying fell into thought, "General Lei Dian's oppression is too strong, causing more and more people to be dissatisfied."

Paimon suddenly looked up: "Something seems to be wrong?"

"Foreigners cannot leave the island!" Ying continued.

Of course they can leave. With Jiang Yi's strength, he can go anywhere. But the problem is that without the legal procedures, they will not be able to escape the inspection of Inazuma soldiers outside and will be arrested directly.

If you don't want to hide, you must get the procedures.

"I take back what I said. He wasn't angry at our rejection and deliberately forgot about it!" Paimon was annoyed. "That's why he left so hastily and so decisively."

"No! This is also part of the test." Jiang Yi was very calm.

"Is this test necessary?" Paimon stamped his feet. "Jiang Yi, let's go hypnotize the staff now. Once we get out of the island, we must go to the Mulou Teahouse to settle accounts with Thomas!"

Ying looked at Paimon: "Is hypnosis really okay? Okay! Who cares."

"Wait!" Jiang Yi shook his head. "If ordinary foreigners want to leave the island, they can do it after hypnosis, but it's different for us who are so famous."

"If we just leave like this, many innocent people will be punished."

"Hmm?" Ying and Paimon were puzzled. "Do you know something?"

Jiang Yi walked towards the Kanjo Bugyo Office: "Follow me! Our Kanjo Bugyo has been paying attention to us for a long time."

Did he know that the Kanjo Bugyo and the Fatui executive officers had colluded and would not allow them to leave the island?

When you apply for a "pass" through the survey, the other party may completely refuse to recognize it.

In order to avoid trouble later, we still have to follow the old path in the plot.
