The next day, Niwa, who had obtained the passage permit, left the island with Albedo and Walnut in a swagger, and began to head towards Inazuma Castle.

After a narrow shoal, the vast White Fox Wilderness appears in front of you. This is the vastest plain on Narukami Island and the largest grain-producing area in the entire Inazuma.

Along the way, you can see fox statues with unique shapes everywhere in the vast fields, and there are thunder god shrines at almost every important road, and they are all popular.

Most of the areas in the Wilderness of the White Fox are divided into villages within ten miles and towns within thirty miles. They are crowded with people, chickens and dogs hear each other, and it is a peaceful scene. But there are also rogue swordsmen on remote roads in the countryside, named Ye Fuzhong.

These wandering warriors with outstanding martial arts skills were forced to turn into bandits due to their livelihood. Most of them were only interested in profit and often colluded with the treasure thief group to commit evil.

Fortunately, the Wilderness of the White Fox is just outside Daozuma City, and it can be regarded as a Gyeonggi area. Tianling Shouxing often sends troops to search and suppress, and the Yefuzhong and the treasure stealing group who were lucky enough to escape did not dare to be too arrogant.

Along the way, Niwa found that most of the people who stayed in the village to work were middle-aged and above, and young people were rarely seen. After asking about it, I found out that in recent years, land taxes have become heavier and heavier, and farming has gradually become less profitable. Young people have to flock to Daozuma City to find work and earn an extra wage to supplement their families.

Among them, the one with the best salary is working as an errand for Tianling. Not only is he given rice on a monthly basis and given clothes on a quarterly basis, but he also has an official status and is highly regarded by relatives and friends from all over the country.

After visiting several villages, Abedo saw Niyu's serious expression and couldn't help but ask: "Is there any problem?"

Niyu shook his head slightly, "If there is a problem, we can't solve it. Take care of yourself first..."

The three of them wandered along like this. Whenever they encountered larger villages or towns, they had to go in and check them out. The journey that originally took more than a day took more than three days.

It was already the fourth day when we arrived outside Inazuma Castle.

Thomas, who was about to grow mushrooms while waiting outside the city, came up to him with a wry smile, "You three made it easy for me to wait..."

Niwa pretended not to know, and held up his hands in surprise: "Brother Toma is waiting for us at Inazuma Castle? I really don't know, I'm sorry. It's inevitable to be curious when seeing exotic scenery along the way, and I can't help but go and see it every time I visit a village or town. , which wasted some time."

Toma smiled heartily, "Sir, you are too polite. I didn't tell you in advance... Please follow me to the Mulao Tea Room. My lady is waiting for you."

Ayaka? I obviously asked to see Ayato... Well, that's right, that guy is playing a psychological game with me!

Niyu immediately understood what Kamisato Ayato meant as soon as he rolled his eyes.

As the head of the clan, he must have heard about Niwa's actions on the outlying islands and understood his energy, but he still refused to show his face.

On the one hand, this shows that he is very cautious, on the other hand, it also shows an attitude - although you are very energetic, society does not care.

This attitude actually gave Niyu a headache.

Whether it was the Nine Principles of Filial Piety pursued by Tian Ling or Hiiragi Shinsuke pursued by Appointment, Niwa was confident that they would cooperate with him. It was just a question of the price.

There is no other reason. The demands of these two people are basically on their faces.

When people want something, it is easier to deal with them.

Only this Ayato Kamisato, even if he had a foresight of the plot, Niyu was completely unsure of what this person wanted in his heart.

Protect your family and revive the Kamisato family? This is obviously true, but it doesn't seem entirely right.

Maintain the prosperity and stability of Inazuma? Perhaps there are some, but they are too broad and difficult to find a grip on.

On the surface, the social practice has been tepid, and it seems that it is willing to remain at the bottom of the three practices. In the main plot of Inazuma, Ayato Kamisato didn't even show his face the whole time, hiding behind the scenes as steadily as an old dog.

It is precisely because of Bu Zheng that after a devastating political turmoil, both the Tianling implementation and the assessment implementation have changed, but the Society implementation has had nothing to do with it.

After that, the god Ayato quietly let the heirs of the other two families owe him favors, and became the leader of the three families. His methods were not unscrupulous.

My husband doesn't fight, so no one in the world can fight with him... Kamisato Ayato is truly a water type, a born old silver coin!

Well, it seems that I even scolded myself...

A certain water man who was quite self-aware, followed the creed of being lenient to oneself and strict to others. He ignored his own evil intentions and turned around and thought of Zhao'er.

Isn’t Ayato a girl-controller in your god? Then I'll deal with your sister first!

Niwa immediately showed an expression of surprise, "I've heard of the reputation of Princess White Heron a long time ago, and I don't want to meet you today! Please ask Brother Toma to lead the way!"

Abedo on the side curled his lips, knowing that this guy probably stopped holding in his farts again.

He was not interested in these intrigues, so he immediately said: "I won't go with you. When I come, Xingqiu asked me to take his novel here to sell on behalf of him. I have to go to the Eighth Hall."

oh? Is that guy Xingqiu’s novel going to take off? envious……

Niyu nodded, "Teacher, just do it yourself."

Hu Tao also immediately offered to leave the team. She had long been dazzled by the exotic Inazuma Castle and couldn't wait to wander around.

Niwa had no choice but to tell the two to stay overnight and then waved goodbye to them.

Compared to the outlying islands, Inazuma Castle has a completely different tone.

The cherry blossoms all over the sky are like pink snow, making the whole city seem to be cast in a dreamy color.

The streets of Hanamizaka are crowded with pedestrians. Everyone is working hard to make a living. The diligence and vitality in the city are no less than those in Liyue Port.

However, Niwa keenly discovered that at least 30% of the citizens who came and went looked good, and the rest had a sad look on their faces. The whole city seemed to be shrouded in invisible pressure, making people want to bend their backs involuntarily.

Looking at the shops along the road, local specialty lacquerware, pottery, folding fans, masks, fabrics and other products are still in sufficient supply, but other items such as alcohol, cloth, gemstones and medicines are mostly marked with the word "sold out", even if they are The stores selling non-Narukami Island specialties don't seem to have enough goods.

The owners and clerks of these specialty shops also looked listless.

Niwa found out after asking around at a store that it turned out that Kaijijima and the Shogunate Army had been having a serious quarrel recently. The shogunate army sent troops to establish a blockade on Hachijima Island and strictly restricted the entry and exit of materials from Hajijima Island, so much so that the coral pearls from Hajijima Island and the crystallized bone marrow from Hajijima Island began to be out of stock.

Going further, Niwa found that there were many people looking for temporary jobs on the street. Dozens of people could be seen near every traffic bulletin board, looking for opportunities.

The reception area of ​​the Adventurers Association is very busy. In addition to those extremely difficult tasks, tasks such as delivering letters, collecting herbs, and finding cats and dogs are always sold out as soon as they are posted.

Seeing Niwa shopping leisurely, Toma held it in for a long time before finally advising him: "Miss has been waiting for you for several days. Why don't you wait until I meet you and then I can accompany you to visit Inazuma Castle?" "

Niyu pretended to be enlightened and apologized with a smile: "Sorry, sorry, let's speed up now!"
