He came to the bottom of the dry well in Konda Village. Although it was locked at first, it was split open by Manye's powerful brick.

However, the noise here attracted the attention of the villagers. The village chief, Densuke Konda, ran over hurriedly with a cane: "Who are you?!"

Manye: "We were asked to check the barrier here."

In Konda Densuke's eyes, he had a preconceived notion that Manye was a bad person who came with malicious intent. Therefore, even if Manye covered his eyes with a bandage, he could not prevent Konda Densuke from seeing the endless malice emanating from Manye's disguise.

"I don't care who you are! Get out of Konda Village! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" Even though he knew that the person in front of him was very dangerous, when he thought about what had happened in Konda Village recently, Konda Densuke didn't care about anything else. He made up his mind and shouted at Manye with his crutch.

Because a group of young people in Konda Village recently got drunk and robbed the shogunate's transport vehicle. As the village chief, Konda Densuke was afraid that the whole village would be implicated, so he concealed the matter. He now believes that Manye is likely the person who came to investigate.

Manye looked like this and had indeed done something wrong just now. He thought it would be very difficult to verbally make the village chief of Konda Village understand his purpose. Just when he was about to ignore Konda Densuke and jump directly into the well, "Kyotan" spoke.

"Hey, old man, we were commissioned by the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine to solve the problem of the polluted barrier. We have to take emergency measures and we have no way to prove our identities. How about you just come with us?"

[The chief priest of Narujin Taisha Shrine... well, he is just bullying others.]

[That was a shrine maiden just now, isn't that the Narugami Taisha Shrine? The request from the shrine maiden of Narugami Taisha Shrine, isn't that the intention of the chief priest of Narugami Taisha Shrine? ]

[Okay, okay, let’s play like this, right?]

"Barrier?! Contaminated?!"

After being called out by 'Kyotan', Konda Densuke calmed down: "Is there something wrong with the barrier?! Lord Yae-miya called you here?!"

『Xu Tan』: "Ah, yes, yes, if you don't believe me, come down the well with us."

After calming down, Konda Densuke also realized that he had just thought wrong. How could the people from the shogunate who came to investigate directly split the well? If they were really investigating secretly, they would definitely not make such a big fuss. But if it was not a secret investigation, they would definitely meet with the village chief of Konda Village to inform him.

Then the person in front of me might really be the one sent by the chief priest of Narugami Taisha Shrine to investigate the barrier...

Konda Densuke coughed dryly to ease the embarrassment and said, "Not many people know about the history of Konda Village. I trust you. Messenger, I am too old to go down the well. You should take care of it."

"If you need any help, please tell me. Although I have difficulty walking, there are still many strong young men in the village."

If those bastards helped the envoy of Yaenomiya, even if the robbery of the shogunate's transport vehicle was exposed later, the envoy would surely say a few good words for them in consideration of their help, right?

To be able to become the messenger of the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine and be sent to purify the barrier, his status must be very high.

"No need." Wan Ye shook his head. He wanted to end the conversation like this, but he seemed to have thought of something and said, "How about you tell me about this barrier? The miko didn't tell me too much detail. She only said that there is a barrier in Konda Village and I need to take a look."

When Manye refused at first, Konda Densuke was a little disappointed. Later, Manye gave him another surprise. He grinned and said quickly, "Oh, of course, please don't use honorifics to address a small Konda village chief like me. I am a little nervous."

Without waiting for Manye to say anything, Konda Densuke quickly told Manye the answer to her question:

"The barrier of Konda Village you mentioned is actually related to the Thunder Sakura. It is said that in ancient times, there was a root of the Thunder Sakura under our feet. It was one of the five tree roots that protected the safety of Narukami Island. And protecting it and its barrier is the responsibility entrusted to our Konda clan by Lord Kitsusai. But this matter happened too long ago, and I don't know any more details. I hope this information can help you."

[Lei Ying? Hu Zhai Palace? New information, keep it in mind]

[Kousaigu, a person I have never heard of]

[Sounds like a fox]

What's the difference between you saying it and not saying it?

[Isn't it a beast-eared girl? Hehehe, after all, it is based on the Inazuma of x book]

[Animal-eared girl?! I guess she’s my new wife]

Manye nodded, acknowledging the information given by Konda Densuke, and then jumped into the well.

Konda Densuke watched Manye disappear into the darkness, and suddenly thought in confusion: Come to think of it, why did it feel like the messenger's voice just now seemed inconsistent?

Hey, after all, he is the messenger of Lord Palace Administrator, so it is not surprising that he has any magical properties.

He even had a bandage covering his eyes! It didn't seem to affect his walking at all. The envoy was really amazing.

Konda Densuke shook his head and returned to his own yard with a cane.

By this time, Wan Ye, who had come down to the well, had already taken off his bandages. After all, he might need to fight for the purification barrier in a while.

Although wearing a bandage does not affect normal walking, the restricted vision will have a great impact on combat.

Although the impact might be reduced to a minimum after getting used to it for a while, Manye had no intention of practicing blindfolded combat just for this reason.

The task assigned to him by Xu Tan did not take too long, and when he was forced to fight in public, his identity would be exposed. Xu Tan had a lot of ways to solve this problem...

Well, as for how to solve it, everyone knows it, and Wan Ye has not thought about it in detail. After all, this is not what he really thinks.

"Didn't you say you never lie?"

『False Talk』: "What? I didn't say I never lie, but that's what I said at the time, right? I would still lie when I had no choice."

Man Ye didn't believe it at all: "Being threatened by a powerless old man from Konda Village is considered a last resort? Are you afraid of hurting the villagers of Konda Village? How come I didn't know when you became so kind."

『False Talk』: "I never said I was lying just now~"

Manye raised an eyebrow: "'The chief priest of Narugami Taisha sent us', isn't that a lie?"

Xu Tan laughed out loud: "If you ask the Son of God this question in person, she will also give a negative answer."

The son of God...? He addressed the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine in such a friendly manner, and the attitude of the shrine maiden named "Hana Sanri" just now, "Kyotan"... What secrets are hidden in you?

and many more? !

Could it be that you are the former chief priest of Narugami Taisha, Kitsunesaigumi-sama? !
