Chapter 722: The Fourth Wish of Kamisato Prefecture

"I hope it won't be discovered that the memories of the Inazuma soldiers have been changed." Jiang Yi calculated the time, and his consciousness descended to the outside world to check. The power had been restrained, so he could go out.

"How are you two? I just seemed to hear that General Thunder and Lightning appeared in front of the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue." Thomas came back after getting the information.

Paimeng and Ying have already moved Jiang Yi's outdoor cave to a remote alley.

Jiang Yi came out of the cave and asked, "Did General Lei Dian order the soldiers to look for us?"

Thomas looked at the jade gourd in amazement and shook his head: "No."

Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party did not sense that there was anything wrong with the soldier's memory.

"I just... heard some noises..." Ying recalled.

"Voice? In front of the statue?" Thomas touched his chin, he heard nothing.

"Yeah, I saw you touch the statue." Paimon nodded, "What was that sound?"

"It seems to be someone else's 'wish'?" Ying said, looking at Jiang Yi, "Did you hear it too?"

"I almost released the things from the snow mountain." Jiang Yi smiled bitterly, "I felt something was going to happen, so I left immediately. As it turned out, General Lei Dian really sensed my power and appeared in front of the statue."

"Ah——" Paimon was frightened, "Didn't you say you have mastered that power?"

"I can only say that I have 99% control over it. My mind and body will not be affected, and I can suppress it." Jiang Yi shook his head, "But I carry the dreams of those who are unwilling to live in my body. If they work together, they can stir up a little bit of waves. After all, wishes are sometimes as dim and small as dust, and sometimes as bright and magnificent as stars, shaking the world. I just signed an unfinished contract with those dreams."

If it is not completed, it represents a lack of control over power.

Thomas was completely confused. He didn't quite understand what they were talking about. And what kind of treasure was that magical gourd that could hold people?

After carefully sorting out the details, he said, "In other words, the two of you heard the wish in the statue, and some kind of power in Mr. Jiang Yi's body was stimulated by the wish, which attracted the attention of General Lei Dian."

Paimeng clapped his hands suddenly: "I discovered something important. We almost met General Lei Dian."

“Uh…” Ying and Thomas felt that what Paimon said made some sense, but it also made no sense. “But in that situation, the attitude of General Lei Dian, who was attracted by Jiang Yi’s power, is unclear, and he may not listen to us.”

"Mr. Jiang Yi's decision is correct." Thomas said, feeling a little immoral joy in his heart. Perhaps this is an opportunity to recruit more people to join the gang.

"Ahem!" He changed the subject, "Let's talk about the wishes you heard."

"Wishes... this seems to confirm a saying..." Thomas held out his hand, "Have you heard of it? When a person's wishes are strong enough, the sight of the gods will be cast upon him."

"That's the origin of the Eye of God... In other words, the Eye of God represents that person's wish."

Ying and Paimon fell into deep thought.

Jiang Yi listened and remained alert.

"If what you just said is true..." Thomas sighed, "then it seems...the wishes of these people are more persistent than I thought."

Ying lowered her eyes, and there seemed to be those chaotic voices in her ears: "The Eye of God symbolizes 'wish' instead of power..."

"Okay!" Thomas remembered the important matter, "Tourists of Narukami Island, it's time to follow me to the next stop - Kamisato Prefecture."

……

Kamizato Prefecture is located on another large island of Inazuma.

The island is vast, and the most prominent features are the towering Kagemukai Mountain and the Narujin Taisha Shrine on the mountain.

Kamisato Prefecture is located at the foot of Kagemukai Mountain, on the east side of the island.

To the south is the guarding forest.

Looking north from Inazuma Castle on Narukami Island, you can just see the primeval forest where the legend says there are monsters and demons.

The four of them crossed the river by boat, and after entering the forest, they wasted no time as they walked through the eerie paths and headed for Kamisato Prefecture.

As before, the sights and mysteries of the forest can be seen later, so don't waste time now.

Jiang Yi looked away with regret.

"We'll have to talk about visiting the demon raccoon in the forest later." He really wanted to see the illusion and transformation methods of the demon raccoon clan in the Inazuma legend.

Led by Thomas, they entered Kamisato Palace which was guarded by soldiers.

Having eaten at Kanjo Bugyo and delivered letters at Tenryo Bugyo, Paimon came to this community bugyo and looked at the blue-purple screen in front of him, as well as the vase on the table and the flower arrangements.

"The house of the wealthy Inazuma family seems to be just like this?" If she was not afraid of being too impolite, she would have wanted to say that it was not as exaggerated as the house she, Ying, and Jiang Yi lived in in the cave.

The Qun Yu Pavilion and Chenxi Winery further broadened her horizons.

"Welcome to Kamisato Mansion, three distinguished guests. The young lady has been waiting for a long time." Thomas introduced to the empty house.

"Where is the 'White Egret Princess' you mentioned?" Paimon was full of confusion. If there wasn't a dog squatting here like in the Mulou Teahouse, she would have thought that Miss Kamisato was also going to follow Thomas's example and play a trick on them.

"Well, maybe the flowers in the vase are the transformed 'White Egret Princess'." Jiang Yi said seriously.

Ying stared at the vase: "Is there a flower fairy? Why not an egret?"

"Cough... cough." A woman's cough came from behind. She felt that if she didn't make a sound, the three guests would compare her to something strange.

Thomas heard Jiang Yi and Ying's joke, "Haha, you are still thinking about that. Miss, it's actually behind the screen."

"Behind the screen?" Paimon looked up, curious why she didn't come out.

Thomas said, "As the eldest daughter of the shrine, Kamisato-sama usually treats guests in this way. It can be said that this is also the custom of the shrine for hundreds of years. Please understand."

Ying glanced at Jiang Yi: "It seems understandable, but it feels a bit disappointing..."

Jiang Yi felt that Ying's eyes were strange. Why was she looking at him?

Do you think I'm looking forward to it? It's not like I haven't seen it before. I've even seen the "White Egret Princess" when she was a child.

Well! These are all from the game, I have never seen them in real life.

Paimon easily accepted this statement: "After all, she is the noble 'White Egret Princess'."

"You three have traveled across the ocean and are exhausted. But now we can only meet like this at your house. Please forgive me for being impolite." Princess Shiragiri Ayaka spoke from behind the screen. "I have been looking forward to your arrival. From what Thomas told me, I am convinced that you three have the power to 'change the situation.'"

The voice is nice. Jiang Yi looked at the screen. To him, the screen could not block the exploration of consciousness, but the other party was unwilling to meet now, so he should not act recklessly and without respect.

Ying felt that this was a good idea. Since they couldn't meet, Jiang Yi would not be bewitched by Kamisato Ayaka. She used a beauty trap to make him agree.

Jiang Yi has great self-control, so although this possibility is small, it is not impossible.

Another one, and another one. I felt a special emotion. Yandora's eyes, like a bright moon in the transparent water bottle, curiously sensed the flow of life behind the screen, the implicit beating mood.

Kamisato Ayaka, who had no idea what everyone outside the screen was thinking, continued speaking the words she had prepared long ago, hoping to impress the three guests.

"Today's rice wife, under the implementation of the Eye Hunting Order, the wishes of the people are being trampled on. Although the society serves the generals, due to their responsibilities, they are the party closest to the people's livelihood."

"The power we pursue comes from the trust of the people. How can we sleep peacefully if we just sit back and ignore such a situation."

"Jiang Yi, Ying, Paimon...can you lend me your strength? We will definitely be able to..." Thinking of Thomas's news, she slightly changed the last sentence and made the request softer.

The scene fell silent.

"We said we were only here to see General Lei Dian." Ying thought of those wishes, hesitated for a moment, and still said so.

"Hmm..." Kamisato Ayaka waited for a while, but did not hear Jiang Yi's voice, as if Ying was in charge of everything.

Thomas spread his hands, not caring about the people present, and said directly: "I told you, Miss... this won't work..."

Ying looked at Thomas and decided to retreat in order to advance. At least now he must not agree to help the Inazuma residents rebel against General Raiden: "I'm ready to leave."

Paimon also pretended to leave.

This trick is very useful when bargaining in Liyue. I wonder if Miss Kamisato can understand it and "lower the price".

Jiang Yi noticed the tacit understanding between Ying and Paimeng, shook his head, and prepared to turn around.

"Ah, ah...wait a minute! Please...don't leave yet..." The voice behind the screen was a little panicked. When he heard the footsteps stop, he forced himself to calm down, "Um..."

Ying, Paimeng, and Jiang Yi looked at each other and turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Kamisato Ayaka's voice came: "Thoma has told you. I will introduce you to General Raiden, but there are requirements. The premise is... you have to help me fulfill three small wishes, no! Four small wishes."

She suddenly remembered something and changed the original process.

"What's your wish?" Ying asked.

"The first three are about three people who lost the Eye of God... Once you meet them, perhaps you will understand..." Kamisato Ayaka described the general situation of the three people who lost the Eye of God.

"The warriors who protect the village, the former samurai who enforced the Eye Hunting Order, and the swordsman who once aimed to be the best in the world... go and help them as much as you can, and I will wait for you here."

"As for the fourth one..." Shenli Linghua suddenly said, "It is actually Miss Ying's wish to meet General Lei Dian, right? What is Mr. Jiang Yi's wish?"

Thomas glanced at the screen and said nothing. The procedure had changed, but everything was done according to the young lady's wishes.

"Helping Ying is my wish." Jiang Yi said with a smile.

Ying and Paimeng stood with their hands on their hips.

Miss Kamisato is not trying to sow discord, is she?

Fortunately, Jiang Yi was not fooled.

Worthy of commendation.

"Is that so?" Kamisato Ayaka said, "Well! Miss Ying...how about you and Paimon fulfilling the first three wishes for me, and letting Master Jiang Yi stay and fulfill the fourth wish for me?"

"Afterwards, you can communicate about the process of fulfilling my wish."

Ying frowned: "You haven't told me yet, what is your fourth wish?"

"Hmm!" Kamisato Ayaka said, "I want to communicate with him and ask him to look at some things. I won't hide these things from you, but in order to save time, I hope you can do both at the same time."

Regarding the matter of leaving the island, Ying did not show much under Jiang Yi's brilliance, so she wanted to try with these three wishes. Jiang Yi had already shown his feelings on the island, so she wanted to impress him in another way.
