Original God, but the real world

Chapter 115 114-A Game
Compared to the story lines of Mondstadt and Liyue, the plot starting from Inazuma gradually becomes more interesting.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the plot line is getting longer and longer.

On the continent of Teyvat, everyone has more and more opportunities to perform, and the troubles of adventure are also gradually rising, so that the enemy needs to spend a lot of time to lay out, and the strength of the opponent gradually increases - and then they will run headlong into the big daddy Ying and die.

Jiang Qing thought.

He looked at Ying, and the girl seemed to notice his gaze and looked at him too.

After thinking for a while, the blonde girl tilted her head, as if asking what he wanted to say.

Jiang Qing remained silent.

The early story of Inazuma is not complicated.

Simply put, the eldest daughter of the shrine magistrate is compassionate but is constrained by the reputation of the shrine magistrate Kamisato family and cannot take action personally, so she finds a great adventurer who is not afraid of the identity of the third magistrate and has enough strength to fight against the shogunate army to solve the problem.

Given Kamisato Ayaka's identity, her sympathy for the suffering of the people is indeed worthy of mention.

At least in the early stage, she did influence Ying's actions, and later when Toma was captured by the shogunate and subjected to the Eye Hunting Ceremony, it was also an opportunity for Ying to have direct contact with the general.

There may be no distinction between big and small kindness, but the peace and joy that choices made because of kindness bring to the people can be seen at a glance.

But later, the young lady focused her main attack on the Eye Hunting Order rather than the Lock-Down Order, probably because she felt that things had to be dealt with one by one.

Due to the limitations of the status of the Society Magistrate's Office and the Kamisato family, she certainly couldn't lead the charge herself.

The title of Princess White Egret is very useful, but that's because she is the little princess of the Kamisato family.

Because of her status, she could not show any dissatisfaction towards the general, so even if she did not like the Eye Hunting Order, she would not express her opinion openly, and even had to support it wholeheartedly.

Because the Three Magistrates were not allowed to go against the will of the Shogun.

If Kamisato Ayaka dares to do such a thing, there must be someone willing to blame her personal behavior on the Society Bugyoshi Office and let the entire Kamisato family bear the responsibility.

A person can be brave and stubborn on a personal level, but rarely can he be fearless when it comes to his family and friends.

So she had to find a warrior to do what she wanted to do but could not do due to her identity.

This warrior and hero is Ying.

Of course, she will also take out corresponding chips during this process.

This is Ying's own business.

She is quite heroic and wants to accept the commission, so of course that's fine.

She didn't want to, and Kamisato Ayaka couldn't force her.

Noticing Jiang Qing's silence, Ying pursed her lips and prepared to leave the Death Star.

This was the third country she had visited, and every time she traveled, she was always able to have some magical contact with Jiang Qing.

However, at the beginning, Jiang Qing was just an ordinary person, and her only contact with Jiang Qing was when she was talking to Qin.

As time went on, Jiang Qing seemed to be growing up, and their interactions with each other increased.

So this time, will he still be a bystander who makes an occasional appearance and has no impact on his trip?
Ying has expectations.

Ganyu and Ying got off the Death Star.

At the port outlying the island, Thomas, who had once been unable to get up from his knees in the world of many people, was waiting.

In the plot, the character has to fight against Ming Shenqian after losing the elemental power. Many players have been stuck. As a result, Thomas could only kneel in front of the Thousand-armed and Hundred-eyed statue for a long time.

But fortunately I'm still alive.

In reality...it's hard to say.

The person kneeling there might not be Thomas, and Ying might not be able to save him.

"Well, the two guests have left, and you are the only one left."

Beidou patted Jiang Qing on the shoulder.

"I was curious about what you were thinking before. Now that we're already here, it shouldn't be a problem to ask, right?"

She was quite curious about Jiang Qing because she received a good return on her first investment.

"What do you think of the Eye Hunting Order?"

Jiang Qing asked casually.

"A useless order." Beidou replied, "If you are really asking about my attitude, I think Wanye may be able to give you a better answer."

“The Eye of God has always been called a gift from God. People cannot refuse this gift. Now it is being taken away inexplicably, and it may even cost them their lives.”

Fengyuan Manye, who was standing aside, spoke calmly without any intense emotions, "I think this is not fair."

As revealed in the plot, the Eye of God has nothing to do with the Seven Gods.

At least, it's not a gift from God.

But on the continent of Teyvat, everyone accepts this statement.

It doesn't matter.

"The Eye of God cannot be abandoned." Jiang Qing thought for a moment, "I met someone in Liyue. She has tried many times to destroy the Eye of God and separate herself from God."

Of course, this person is Keqing.

Keqing tried to destroy the Eye of God many times, but failed every time.

In Mondstadt, Diluk once abandoned the Eye of God and then experienced several years of wandering in the North.

When he returned to Mondstadt, the Eye of God was back in his hands.

These people did not suffer any loss due to [losing] the Eye of God. At most, they were temporarily unable to drive elemental forces.

But they will definitely not be like these unlucky guys like Inazuma, who have simply lost their minds.

"From what I know, simply because of [losing] the Eye of God, one has to pay the price of losing memory or even death. Inazuma's situation is very special."

The special thing is probably not the action of taking away the Eye of God, but General Lei Dian and the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue built by him.

This statue probably serves to completely isolate the connection between the Eye of God and its owner.

The Eye of God is connected to the so-called wishes. When a person loses the Eye of God, he also loses the memory related to the wishes.

After these people obtained the Eye of God, they used this power to move towards their goals. It can be said that almost all of them were working hard for their own wishes.

There were suddenly large gaps in their memories of their lives, so it was no wonder that they suddenly became sluggish in their behavior.

Jiang Qing did not dwell on the general's peculiarity. He avoided the topic and said, "Let me be frank. I am not an Inazuma. Although I have the Eye of God, assuming that I am just an ordinary Inazuma... I think the Eye Hunting Order is not a harsh policy."

"Of course you can assume that." Beidou was not surprised by Jiang Qing's words, "But you are not a rice wife man."

Well, she thought this was a fresh statement.

But Beidou still remembers Ningguang's evaluation. Jiang Qing is a person who rarely fights against power. He has the audacity to make deals with gods, but he is used to weighing the pros and cons of power.

The shogun was not a strong authority over him, but the shogun certainly was.

But Beidou was still very curious about where he was going to explain the general's decree.

"Only a few people possess the Eye of God. The Eye Hunting Order is certainly not just, but it is not very harmful."

"Because, after all, there are too few people who possess the Eye of God."

"Among these people, the shogunate will recruit some, and the rest are the ones that the Eye Hunting Order needs to eliminate."

"Even with the most brutal results, the casualties were quite limited."

You won't die if you lose the Eye of God, but it will feel like life is worse than death.

Wan Ye thought for a moment and did not deny Jiang Qing's words.

He was not angry at Jiang Qing's words, because Jiang Qing had already said before that he was not a wife-loving man.

A bystander can, of course, ignore emotional factors and consider the whole thing purely from the perspective of interests.

In this way, the harm of the Eye Hunting Order is indeed not as great as the Locking the Country Order.

The lockdown order made people's lives more difficult, but the Eye Hunting Order... the Eye Hunting Order did not interfere much with the lives of ordinary people.

"For ordinary people, the value of the Eye of God varies." Jiang Qing looked at the distant island, "But for the shogunate, the Eye of God that cannot be incorporated into the shogunate's samurai system is actually an unstable factor."

Collect all the soldiers in the world and weaken the people.

The general certainly did not do this for himself. No matter how powerful he was, he was at least one of the top seven gods in the current system.

But if it was the shogunate's rule...weakening Inazuma's resistance would not be unusual.

"The biggest harm of collecting the Eye of God is actually reducing the potential power of the people, making them even more powerless when facing natural disasters and man-made disasters."

"For example, there is a group of wandering samurai around Konda Village. If the shogunate fails to rescue them in time, there is a swordsman with the God's Eye in the village who can keep the whole village peaceful and stable and minimize the losses."

"Without the Eye of God, even a swordsmanship master facing a group of wandering warriors will most likely be killed."

This is also the only value of God's Eye to the shogunate at this level.

Simply deal with ordinary wandering samurai or monsters to reduce the possible violence problems under the shogunate's rule.

The Nobushi and Kairanki here are certainly not opponents of the "let me try my sword" level. Samurai with sharp blades are certainly tricky for ordinary people, but for those who possess the Eye of God and have received normal training, fighting ten alone is not a difficult task.

As for those at a higher level, like Jiang Qing and Youla, they certainly can't defeat the enemy alone, but if they want to retreat, it should be no problem.

Leaving Jiang Qing aside, Eula is already a special case where her talent has reached the pinnacle under normal circumstances.

To rely on one person to defeat the enemy army... To be honest, this is not something that can be done with the Eye of God alone.

If hard work and practice could lead one to the level of Dardalia and Rosaline, then the gods of this world would have been ready to retire long ago.

"This is the positive effect of the Eye of God, but it doesn't mean that people with the Eye of God will definitely do good." Jiang Qing said, "People who can obtain the Eye of God may have a strong will and the tenacity to realize their wishes, but this does not mean that they will definitely do good things."

The Eye of God can only be regarded as a kind of power, but people's choices can undergo tremendous changes due to different experiences.

If a warrior with the Eye of God can protect a village, then conversely, if this warrior joins a group of wandering warriors, the harm he can cause is far simpler than protecting a village.

"Issuing an eye-hunting order directly for something that didn't happen, this is really..."

Kaedehara Manye sighed.

This is not something that is particularly difficult to understand. It is just a matter of how to view the generals.

If the general is regarded as a tyrant, the Eye Hunting Order is a harsh and unreasonable policy.

But if we follow the logic that God loves people, the Eye Hunting Order should have a greater effect.

Of course, these are all speculations. What the general really thinks depends on how his own logic works.

"If we consider the general's strength, the Eye of God is dispensable." Jiang Qing said in a relaxed tone, "But the people who rule this land are the shogunate, and the shogunate's strength is completely not at the same level as the general."

"Confiscate all the God's Eyes and bring all those who can control elemental power under the command of the shogunate. The shogunate's military power will be unprecedentedly high, and it will be much easier for them to suppress the enemy."

The only problem is that this comes at the expense of war potential.

After leaving Inazuma, I found that there were a thousand [Original Gods] with the Eye of God in the outside world, but Inazuma might only have six hundred or seven hundred.

It may even be less.

Weakening the latent power among the Inazuma people would certainly make it easier for the shogunate to rule Inazuma, but it would also make Inazuma weak and powerless.

But it's not a big deal.

Because there is no problem of invasion war between the seven countries of Teyvat.

The core military force of the shogunate is the shogun. The shogun does not have to worry about opponents that the shogun can handle; the shogun does not have to worry about opponents that the shogun cannot handle.

As long as the position of General Raiden does not change, Inazuma can always play by herself.

They don't have to worry about external enemies, nor do they have to worry about the disaster that swept the entire continent five hundred years ago. They only have to deal with Inazuma's internal affairs, so naturally the weaker the Inazuma people are, the better.

"Now that I think about it, the result of the Eye Hunting Order is indeed good for the shogunate." Beidou spread his hands.

She was not an Inazuma either, so naturally she did not need to be too sympathetic to the cruelty and unreasonableness of the Eye Hunting Order towards those who possessed the Eyes of God.

From the perspective of the shogunate and ordinary Inazuma people, the harm caused by the Eye Hunt Order was not great.

"If there hadn't been a rebellion on Kaijima, the shogunate would have been able to implement the Eye Hunting Order quickly."

"At this time, they turned around to deal with these nobushi and kairanki. The shogunate had absolute violence, and its rule over the people was naturally consolidated."

At this point, the only thing worth worrying about is the corruption and degeneration within the shogunate.

"It's a bit cruel to be safe." Fengyuan Manye sighed slightly.

He still resisted the Eye Hunting Order because he and his old friend were the direct victims of the Eye Hunting Order.

But this did not affect his understanding of the meaning of Jiang Qing's words.

It doesn’t mean that those who possess the God’s Eye are not Inazuma’s people, it’s just that compared to those who don’t have the God’s Eye, there are too few people who possess the God’s Eye.

The general's actions were tantamount to directly abandoning the interests of the majority of people with God's Eyes, and simply creating a more stable environment for ordinary people.

Stability does not necessarily mean happiness, but it definitely eliminates many variables, making all resistance and disasters within the shogunate's ability to cope with.

Jiang Qing nodded in agreement, "It is indeed cruel."

The Eye Hunting Order essentially only requires taking action against those who possess the Eye of God, but this does not mean that the shogunate will really follow this standard when taking action.

For example, the news that Kujo Sara, Kamisato Ayaka, and Kamisato Ayato possess the Eye of God is almost out in the open.

But the shogunate army would definitely not regard them as enemies of the shogunate and forcibly confiscate their God's Eyes.

The one who controlled the shogunate army was the Lord Tenryo Bugyo, who expressed his attitude towards the Eye Hunter Order with a very simple sentence.

"Use the Eye Hunting Order to weaken the enemy."

This is a very simple operation. It can’t be considered as lip service, but it’s almost the same.

Ultimately, the decision of whether a person's God's Eye should be confiscated immediately, or temporarily counted as the shogunate's fighting force and allowed to be retained to fight for the shogunate, is made by one person.

And this person is Kujo Takayuki.

Just a simple question, are you willing to surrender to the Kujo family and be loyal to them, and serve them?

If you wish, the talented young men and retainers in your family can all become the fighting force of the shogunate and retain their own God's Eye.

If you are unwilling, then you are the enemies that the Eye Hunting Order wants to hunt, and the evil people that the general wants to hunt.

The nobles of the shogunate must also have the Eye of God. Although Ningguang also said that power is more useful than strength, after the Osel incident, she would also add the restriction of "most cases".

The nobles of the shogunate may not attach much importance to the military force represented by the Eye of God, but they absolutely cannot do without it.

Of course, Kujo Takayuki was not really so rampant. If he used this excuse too often, he would inevitably be criticized.

But if it is just to make an example of someone, it is not a difficult thing to do.

Any political decree, no matter how well-intentioned it is, will inevitably be misused for personal gain and become a tool and weapon in the hands of an ambitious person if it encounters an executor like Kujo Takayuki.

However, this is the difficulty that Jiang Qing has to face, and there is no need to talk too much about this topic with Fengyuan Manye and Beidou.

"Inazuma's environment is really complicated." Beidou shrugged. "Now that you mention it, I don't want to accept the commission from the [Current Human Goddess] on Kaiji Island anymore."

After a deeper understanding, I found that chaos is indeed a kind of order.

Inazuma may seem chaotic on the surface, but that's just because someone wants it to be chaotic and wants to gain benefits from it.

It is indeed a game between big shots.

Jiang Qing sighed slightly.

If we really want to talk about chaos, in fact, as long as the shogunate is determined, it may be possible to quell the resistance in a short period of time.

In the worst case scenario, he didn't think the rebels could win.

No matter what, the shogunate's pillar of support is still General Raiden.

If he remained silent, the resistance might be able to be delayed, but when he became serious... the great power in the narrow space of the Wuxiang Blade still reminded everyone that mortals are powerless in front of gods.

But if he's lucky, he only needs to win one game.
