Jiraiya's Heroic Stories: Genshin Impact

"Brother, look at the book that the witch gave me. It records that the old man with a red coat and a white beard who can sneak into other people's homes and give gifts really exists!"

In Kamisato's residence, Kamisato Ayaka said this jokingly, but she had already put the tip of the knife against Jiraiya's abdomen. She actually wanted to put it against his throat, but the height difference did not allow it.

Ayato put down his sister's knife immediately and asked Thomas to bring a cup of hot tea.

"Mr. Jiraiya, sneaking into the house of an official in the court like this would probably be a capital crime if you had to classify it.

Of course, it was just a joke. This is a special period, so it is a different matter. And even if I wanted to convict you, Inazuma doesn't have the power to do so now, right?"

It turns out that from the current situation, although the reason is unclear, it can be confirmed that the Inazuma shogunate has cooperated with the Fatui.

As for the Kamisato family, they were also part of the shogunate army, and Jiraiya was not sure of their position, so he chose to sneak in and meet with the Kamisato brothers and sisters directly.

The coarse salt that he hadn't had time to clean up along the way did look a bit like a gray beard. Was that why Linghua misunderstood him?

Of course, it is also possible that Ayaka was just joking. After all, without the traveler, Jiraiya did not know the siblings. Especially the elder brother Ayato, who looked shrewd and calculating.

Jiraiya himself actually hates dealing with this kind of people the most.

"Then Mr. Jiraiya is not here to assassinate us, and naturally he is not here to give us gifts. Do you have any instructions?" People like Ayato like to speak in a roundabout way.

This was what Jiraiya couldn't stand the most, so he asked straight to the point:

“Why did the shogunate order the country to be destroyed? Is it irreversible? Why did you shogunate officials not actively evacuate the people after knowing that the country was going to be destroyed in advance?

You even chose to completely block the coastline, leaving everyone in despair. If someone resists you just suppress them, it has come to this point, is there anything you can't say?"

Ayato did not answer immediately, but looked at the "salt snow" outside the window which was gradually stopping. He asked Thomas to dust off the salt residue on Jiraiya's body, and drank a sip of hot tea before speaking.

"You know what? As a politician, the thing I fear most is someone putting the problem out in the open like this. Politicians are mostly eloquent, so how could they be at a loss for words?

It's just that for some questions, silence is far better than knowing the truth. Your appearance is too late for Inazuma, I think you should have heard that Inazuma once implemented a period of isolation and the "Eye Hunting Order"? "

Jiraiya had indeed heard of the term "Eye Hunting Order", but after all, it was just a piece of history that had nothing to do with him, so he never paid attention to it.

Apparently Ayato also realized this, so he explained: "Blocking the country, depriving the "Eye of God" to build into the statue, making the people trapped in "eternity" without "future". So that they became public enemies."

As Ayato spoke, he took off the water element "Eye of God" from his waist, "In the eyes of ordinary people, I am a high-ranking official of Inazuma, but in the face of the truth of this world, I am nothing more than a consumable that can be consumed at will.

The more I know the truth, the more desperate I become. I put my dreams and wishes on this little stone. When I lose it, I will live like a walking corpse. "

Jiraiya also looked at the small stone that mortals were flocking to. Possessing the "Eye of God" means power and status.

Fortunately, perhaps because of the distribution of the Seven Gods, or for some other reason, most of the owners of the "Eye of God" are kind and do not oppress ordinary people.

"After the Traveler and Yae Miko worked together to convey the wishes of many people in Inazuma to the Shogun, the "Eye Hunting Order" was abolished. After that, I also learned a lot of the truth from the released documents.

Of course, these so-called "truths" of mine may just be the tip of the iceberg when compared to the real "truths" of this world.

Perhaps it was because it was too close to the legendary Dark Sea, or perhaps it was because of the history buried underground, the history in which the legendary demon god Orobas had to die just by looking at him.

Later, it was eroded by the abyss.

In short, Inazuma's leyline has long been on the verge of collapse. Facing Inazuma's imminent collapse, the general can only do his best to keep Inazuma as it is, and then try to use the "Eye of God" to repair the leyline.

It's a pity that Inazuma's existence seems to be not allowed by all parties. Be it the various countries, the abyss, or the ancient indigenous people, even the high and mighty being in the sky.

They no longer needed Inazuma. The general thought that the divine cherry blossoms that Istaru helped plant were to help Inazuma absorb the remnants of the demon and the "taboos" outside the world.

But now it seems that it is a tombstone for Inazuma! The one in the sky has already regarded Inazuma as an abandoned child, just like many civilizations in the past, becoming a patch to repair the abyss and maintain the operation of the world.

The people of Inazuma have long been eroded by the "taboo". When the land veins of Inazuma are completely destroyed, if the people of Inazuma leave Inazuma, they may be cursed with immortality by the "abyss"? Or they may be transformed into sad monsters like the hill people because of the "taboo"?

We don't know, but if we tell the people this sad fact, it will only make things more chaotic, right? By then, maybe even the last 10% of the fire will not survive.

Eternal life is too tempting for short-lived humans. However, to endure the pain and wear and tear forever is too cruel..."

Only then did Jiraiya realize that what Ayato was looking at was not the "snow salt" outside the window, but the sky island that had been floating in the air and that people seemed to have become accustomed to!

Ayato spoke for a long time, but as far as Jiraiya could understand, only one word quickly emerged in his mind - sacrifice!

Shar Findenir sacrificed people to the honeysuckle tree and to Morazes; the people of Heguan sacrificed Aru to the thunderbird; the fishermen of Liyue sacrificed Mrs. Octopus to the sea god...

Throughout the long history of humankind, there has never been a lack of sinful ignorance such as sacrificing human lives. But it seems that all ignorance has its roots.

Gods love humans, maybe this is really a curse from heaven? Because of love, they work hard to let humans reproduce and thrive on this earth.

Because of love, he could not bear to see humans disappear, so he bears a bad reputation and goes against humans.

Because of love, I followed the choice of mankind...
