Genshin Impact: What? The one we need to save is Fukaros
Chapter 104 Negotiations with the Inazuma Shogunate
Three days passed in a flash, and Lin Yide and others visited every village on Bayun Island and cured all the residents who were infected with diseases by evil spirits.
During this period, they gained a deeper understanding of the current situation of Bayun Island.
The current population of Bayun Island is less than 8,000, much smaller than Lin Yide had imagined.
The vast majority of residents suffer from severe malnutrition. They are short, pale and thin, and there is little vitality in their faces.
"That high god should really let her come and see with her own eyes. This is the eternal dream she promised to her subjects." On the way back, Qianzhi said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Chizhi, I don't deny her mistakes, but we can't blame them all on her alone." Yae Shinko said seriously.
Just as Qianzhi was about to refute, Lin Yide calmly interrupted and said, "It is indeed unfair to attribute all the mistakes to one person. She was actually just carrying a burden that did not belong to her alone."
When Yae Shinko heard this, he stood there in shock, looking at Lin Yide in disbelief.
After regaining her composure, she quickly caught up with Lin Yide and asked tentatively, "Boss Yide, what do you mean...?"
Lin Yide said meaningfully: "Eternity and a moment."
At this moment, Yae Shenzi was completely convinced that Lin Yide knew everything about General Lei Dian, including the secret that Lei Shen was the Twin Demon God, which was known only to very few people.
There was a spark of curiosity and inquiry in her eyes, and she became more and more interested in this mysterious man.
....................................
After half a day's journey, the three of them returned to the ship together.
As soon as they stepped onto the deck, a Western Factory guard came up to them and reported that a girl who claimed to be the shrine magistrate Kamisato Ayaka came to ask for a meeting.
When he heard the name, a strange look flashed across Lin Yide's face. He didn't expect that she would come to visit.
"Please ask her to come over." Lin Yide ordered.
Upon hearing this, the Western Factory guard immediately went to carry out the order.
Not long after, in a more formal cabin room, Lin Yide met the "White Egret Princess" Kamisato Ayaka.
She wore an exquisite torso on her upper body, inlaid with the unique emblem of the Kamisato family, and a traditional skirt on her lower body, matched with a sturdy shield. This unique combination allowed her to maintain her feminine elegance while also exuding an aura of heroism that could not be ignored.
Kamisato Ayaka's beautiful hair was like the brilliant Milky Way in the night sky, carefully combed into a single ponytail and draped softly behind her.
The bangs on her forehead fell lightly, framing her face perfectly and highlighting her nobility and dignity as a lady from a noble family.
While Lin Yide was looking at Kamisato Ayaka, she was also observing him carefully.
She always felt that this man seemed familiar, as if she had met him somewhere before, but she could not remember the specific circumstances for a moment.
"Excuse me, what should I call you, the distinguished guest from Fontaine?" Kamisato Ayaka asked politely, her words revealing her profound upbringing.
Lin Yide replied simply: "Yide."
When she heard the name, Kamisato Ayaka's eyes widened instantly, and she finally realized why this man gave her a familiar feeling.
She had read reports about him repeatedly, and the Steambird newspaper that published the photo of "The Bright Smile in the Dark" is still treasured by her at home.
Thinking back to all the things he had experienced, Kamisato Ayaka couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
This man is a veritable butcher and executioner!
She suppressed her chaotic thoughts and asked calmly, "Master Ide, why did you do such a cruel thing and kill more than a thousand innocent shogunate soldiers in the Kujo Jinya?"
Lin Yide looked deeply into the clear eyes of Shenli Linghua, and his tone was filled with a hint of imperceptible approval, "Ms. Linghua, what I did was only in self-defense.
When we first arrived, we were attacked by the shogunate army, but they were unable to succeed because we had a certain strength.
In order to prevent the subsequent retaliation of the shogunate army, we have to take the initiative to destroy the Kujo Jinya to prevent future troubles."
Kamisato Ayaka thought this reason was ridiculous, but she couldn't refute it.
She chose to avoid the previous topic and continued, "Since those shogunate troops have received the punishment they deserve, the grudge should be settled. Can you leave Inazuma now?"
"I did intend to leave," Lin Yide paused for a moment and continued, "but after seeing the hardship of the residents of Bayun Island, I changed my mind."
When Kamisato Ayaka heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She predicted that there was a high probability that the Bayun Island would be lost.
Lin Yide continued: "As a messenger of justice, I am determined to reverse the tragic fate of the people of Bayun Island."
"Can you explain it in more detail?" Kamisato Ayaka asked further.
Lin Yide calmly explained: "My plan is to have Fontaine pay to lease the entire Bayun Island and use it as our concession in Inazuma. The lease term is set at 100 years."
Kamisato Ayaka's first reaction was to refuse. Accepting such conditions would, in a sense, be equivalent to giving up the sovereignty of Yakushima Island.
However, she soon changed her mind.
If Yaejima Island could really become a concession of Fontainebleau, then the residents of the island would be able to escape the harsh exploitation of the Inazuma shogunate and live a better life.
"So, Mr. Ide, how much Mora do you plan to pay as rent?" asked Kamisato Ayaka.
Lin Yide replied: "One hundred million Mora."
Kamisato Ayaka frowned slightly, "One hundred million Mora in a hundred years is really a bit too little."
Lin Yide calmly corrected: "No, you misunderstood, I said 100 million Mora per year."
When Kamisato Ayaka heard this, a hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes.
One hundred million Mora a year is a very considerable amount!
Previously, the Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo had been squeezing the people out of here, and they could only collect about 100 million Mora in taxes every year.
She could foresee that if Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke heard this proposal, they would definitely agree to it without hesitation.
"Mr. Yide, I'm a little confused as to why you are willing to pay such a high rent?" Kamisato Ayaka directly raised the question in her mind.
As far as she knew, the man in front of her was not a generous person.
Lin Yide smiled slightly and said, "Once you walk out of this hatch, you will understand."
Kamisato Ayaka had to put aside her doubts for the time being and said, "Master Ide, I have understood your conditions. I will return immediately and report this to the Three Magistrates."
Having said this, she politely said goodbye and left the cabin.
When she walked out of the cabin and saw the familiar figure, the mystery in her mind was instantly solved.
