People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 416: Heart of God Progress +1 Pink Fox's Invitation

The core of the Wolf Territory, the edge of the dense forest,

The slightly cold wind blew through the leaves and hit Lin Feng's face.

But even though the cool breeze brushed his face, it still couldn't dispel the doubts in his heart.

???

".The heart of a god with thunder attribute?"

".No, shouldn't this thing be in the hands of the Son of God?"

Looking at the information in the void, I quickly recalled the unique national conditions of Inazuma.
In addition to being surprised, Lin Feng also began to summarize the information he had obtained in the game in his mind:
——In fact, hundreds of years before the main storyline began, Inazuma was not what she is today.
The ruler at that time was not the Shadow of today, but her twin, the True One who was good at governing and developing the country.

As a warrior, Shadow generally does not need to think, he just needs to attack the enemy.

Five hundred years ago, after the Kanreya War.

It was as if they became alone overnight. Their friends died one after another, and even their significant other, Raiden Shin, left them forever.

Ying, who suffered a great blow in the process of "moving forward", decided to shut himself off and pursue the "eternity" of stillness with all his strength.

Later, because the puppet general body made by Ying and the Heart of God were incompatible, they could not be effective at the same time.

So she was ready to become autistic, so she threw this thing to a pink-haired fox before entering the Pure Land of One Mind.

Later, as the most useless heart of God in the entire Teyvat for the development of the country,

This thing seemed to be used in a very careless way to exchange the fainted little yellow-haired boy with the scattered soldiers.
".Well, from this point of view, my worth is still quite high.
Although I think the Son of God probably wants to send this thing out quickly to prevent the Fatui from bothering her any further."

After pinching his brows, he finally understood the cause and effect.

I never expected to get the fourth Heart of God under such circumstances.
Lin Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, and after saying something to Albedo, he decided to go back to Xumi to see what was going on.

At the same time, on the other side of the sea.

The slightly humid sea breeze passed through the thunderstorms around the island, and the spring cherry blossoms still bloomed vigorously in such an environment.
From the foot of the mountain, we passed through numerous vermilion wooden torii gates and arrived at the top of Yingxiang Mountain.
Inside the shrine where cherry blossoms were falling like rain, a pink-haired figure wearing a red palace priest's uniform shook his ears and looked at the sacred cherry blossoms in front of him with some sorrow:

——Under the national isolation order, the atmosphere among the people of Inazuma was extremely depressing.
The recently issued Eye Hunting Order and the two major executives who used the Eye Hunting Order to commit crimes have further fueled the public's panic.

Affected by the Kuroshio Tide five hundred years ago, the ground veins in Inazuma have always been unstable.

This kind of tense and high-pressure atmosphere can easily allow the filth in the earth veins to take shape, and then increase the burden on Shenying.
"."

Lowering his head slightly, his eyes swept across the cherry blossom forest in full bloom at the foot of the mountain, and across the land gradually awakening in early spring.
Yae Shinko's gaze finally stopped at Inazuma Castle in the southwest, as if he could see through the castle tower, and his words were filled with a bit of regret:
".What beautiful cherry blossoms! They are exactly the same as they were five hundred years ago when I was a little fox.
Having locked yourself up in the castle tower for hundreds of years, Aying, you probably haven’t been able to enjoy the sights of the outside world for a long, long time.”

"The two great principles are to be obeyed in secret, and the Kuroshio pollution is gone and returned.
Although "eternity" is good, your personal will will inevitably be distorted by the executor."

I can no longer remember how many urgent problems Inazuma had accumulated during the hundreds of years without development.
Yae Shinko sighed slightly, and even lost the mood to eat fried tofu.

I was slightly worried for a moment, but I didn't forget the image I had always shown to give the miko's confidence.

She waved the imperial coin in her hand, and forced herself to be alert as she looked southeast towards Kamisato House.

".As time goes by, the once meritorious humans will become completely different after a few generations.
I wonder if you can imagine, Aying, that there are only a few of the three great magistrates who can be trusted now."

After a brief pause, he thought about the gamble he had made with the remaining chips in his hand.
Yae Shinto also turned sideways to the west, with a hint of hope in his tone:

".Old friend, you entrusted everything to me, but I am only a fox after all, and there are many things I cannot do."

".At this point, I just hope that the little cat can deliver the things as soon as possible.

I also hope that the 'helpful' god can understand the meaning of this letter."

I'm not worried about delivery failures at all, I just hope the efficiency can be higher.

When the God of Rock became active again, he thought of the route to Xumi through Liyue.
Yae Shinko was certain that once the Heart of God reached land, it would eventually be handed over to the right person no matter what.

As for whether the other party is willing to help her and her god,
That depends on whether her previous guess was correct.

On the other side, Xumi.

I don't know why a certain pink fox is so worried that the hair on its tail has become thinner.

Lin Feng rushed back at the speed of light and teleported directly into Jingshan Palace.

After greeting Nashida, he was now observing the gift box that seemed to be used to hold desserts:

——No matter how you look at it, this thing is just an ordinary box, and there is not even a trace of magic on it.
After thinking about it, Lin Feng could only think that the person who sent the gift was sure that it would be delivered to him.
In other words, the other party felt that anyone who could discover that the package contained the Heart of God would not snatch it and would even speed up the process of delivering the package.

".Did you come here from Liyue?"

".From my perspective, there is really no need to worry about anyone being able to snatch this thing away, but why is that pink-haired fox so sure?
Or do they think that the more strict and careful they are in protecting it, the more problems will arise.”

Whether it is the old man or Ruotu, even Osel in the sea, if they find this thing, they will definitely hand it over to him.

If there is anyone who can snatch the Heart of God in the territories of Liyue and Xumi, then Lin Feng really has to admire that guy as a character.

"No, this is the Heart of God that was once inside.

I was a little worried that it was a prank, so I opened the package before notifying you."

I have no idea why anyone would use a second-hand dessert box like this to place the Heart of God.

When Nashida received the package, she was in disbelief at first.
But after verifying the authenticity of the Heart of God, his face was filled with question marks.

"Ha, that's normal. After all, he's the only one in Teyvat who would do something like this."

"In fact, I wouldn't be surprised no matter what strange ideas she has. Who can guess what a fox is thinking?"

Without any proof of origin, Lin Feng confirmed the sender's identity in Nashida's puzzled eyes.

Although for him now, even if there is really only one heart of God in it, he can restore the whole story from the memory of the earth veins and breeze with some effort.

But something so obvious right before our eyes obviously didn't require any effort.

".fox?"

Nashida was a little confused when she suddenly heard an unfamiliar term.

"Yeah, Fox."

"——One of the most famous monsters in Inazuma, the current chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, Yae Miko." As he spoke, he mobilized the other three God's Hearts from their original locations to his side.

"Snapped--"

He placed them on the table one after another like ordinary chess pieces.
Seeing the blue, green, yellow, and purple lights flickering at almost the same frequency,

Lin Feng, who had a hobby of collecting, looked at this extremely neat scene and felt a sense of satisfaction for some unknown reason.

"."

I have become accustomed to the unpredictable information source of my own sage.

Nashida was full of questions and wanted to continue asking.

But as the light of the elements flashed by, the little guy couldn't help but be attracted by the luxurious scene of the four God's Hearts placed together in front of him.

".Unconsciously, there are already so many."

As the most important treasure in the country,
The Heart of God, which came in four different colors, were casually placed together like ordinary chess pieces, and Nashida had mixed feelings.

"Yes, but there are still a lot of troubles behind two of them."

Picked up the purple Heart of God,
Lin Feng, who had already noticed something was wrong, closed his eyes slightly.
The next moment, the information that was recorded by unknown means also appeared in his mind.

".What did you find? Is there a reason why this Heart of God was sent here?"

"."

"Yes, just like what I said, it's a commission. The request seems simple on the surface, but..."

This Heart of God had been in the hands of the Son of God for hundreds of years. Lin Feng was not surprised that the other party would use this one-time method to deliver the message.
But even if you have foreseen what the other party wants you to solve,
After seeing the unclear meaning of the commission, he couldn't help but sigh that the pink-haired fox was worthy of being able to come up with such a roundabout way.

"So, what is the commission?" Nashida asked curiously.

"——It's very simple. They invited us to open a branch of the Church of the Holy Spirit in Inazuma City. They will provide all the necessary materials and land.

When our branch is built, this Heart of God will be traded to us."

???

".You mean, the other party used a God's Heart as a reward,
With all the supplies provided, you invite us to build a branch in the most prosperous main city of Inazuma?"

".Isn't this the same as bees using honey to invite brown bears to live near their homes?"

For a moment, I couldn't understand why anyone would do such a transaction that would lose money no matter how you looked at it.

Nashida blinked, thinking she must have missed something.

"You're right. Of course it can't be that simple."

"——In normal times, this kind of thing is naturally a win-win or even a win-win for us.
But given the current situation in Inazuma, do you think it is possible for our staff to build a branch in Inazuma City?"

"——The essence of the isolation order is to prevent foreign forces from causing changes.

Building a branch of the Religious Court in Inazuma Castle will never be possible unless the isolation order is abolished."

"After all, she only provided "supplies" and "land" in this information.
Even if the chief priest votes in favor, it will be almost impossible for us to get approval from the Thunder General."

".So, the real commission is actually to change the isolation order, or the gods' ideas?
The reason for taking such a detour could be..."

Considering the reputation of that god in the outside world, Nashida suddenly had a guess.

"——It's simple, because the god now has a stubborn temper.
If she is not defeated by someone stronger than her, she will not listen to anything."

"But the Yae Palace Priest who sent us the package, as a follower of the god and the head of the shrine, couldn't possibly ask others to come and find a way to beat up their own god in exchange for the god's heart.
No matter how good the relationship is, if the gods find out about this, they will be ripped to pieces.”

"."

A moment of silence,
Although he had some guesses in his mind, he did not expect Lin Feng in front of him to speak so bluntly.

I never thought that such a strange situation would occur.

As long as Nashida thought about the hellish scene where her sage used the Heart of the Grass Elemental God as a reward to hire someone to beat her up,

Suddenly I began to understand why this kind of thing needs to be handled more tactfully.

".Are you really prepared to do that?

Or is she not afraid that we will breach the contract with this verbal commission that has no binding force?"

I'm sure Lin Feng said so, but it's impossible for him to do it in practice.

Nashida was very curious about what this Yae Palace Master, who seemed to be unfriendly to his own god, was thinking.

"——Of course she is not afraid, or she no longer has the room to be timid."

"——Today, Inazuma is on the verge of collapse. I don't even want to list how many problems there are that need to be dealt with.
Natural disasters, man-made disasters, and even historical relics, if we don’t deal with all of these now, we will lose the opportunity to deal with them forever.”

"She just did the last thing she could do under the circumstances.

Regardless of success or failure, after she sent the Heart of God away, she was no longer able to interfere."

Suddenly, I admired the courage of this pink-haired fox.

According to the stubborn thinking of many gods' followers,
Even if the country is really about to perish, they probably wouldn't dare to use the gods' own things to ask others to beat them up.

".But, Nashida, you are right.
Of course, I can't just rush up and beat up the Thunder God, and it's not even convenient for me to do it myself in front of the public."

"The god of one country came to defeat another god in public.
Unless you think that the current Xumi territory is too small and you want to start the great cause of integrating the seven countries, you should never do such a thing.

Once the beginning is made, the remaining countries may all feel insecure.”

"Well, of course, Mondstadt and Liyue are not included. It's already very troublesome to keep them from retiring there."

As he spoke, he looked out the window.

I had already sensed a strange presence lingering nearby.
Lin Feng, whose cat-stroking soul was burning, stretched out his hand and grabbed a "kitten" on the tree branch before the other party could react.
