Angel changed the appearance of this body, turning into soft black hair like a waterfall and eyes as dark as the night in the sea water. She became a 160cm tall, slim and well-proportioned, quiet and gentle beauty with a slight bookish air, as gentle as a Yamato brush.
"Yeah, it looks good. I like it."
The water near Inazuma was exceptionally clear, and it could actually reflect Angie's face at that moment, allowing her to appreciate her current beauty for a moment.
"Don't worry about your identity. This country is in the midst of war. Except for a few main cities, everything is in chaos. It's impossible to verify it if you make up a random name. Thunder God is not the God of Wind, so he doesn't have the ability to track down information. But I still need a name. What should I call him..."
"Kaguya, Kaguya of Mount Penglai, what a nice name."
Covering her lips lightly with her sleeve, An Qi, or rather Hui Ye, imitated the princess and smiled a reserved and beautiful smile.
"I already have a clone, and I'm far enough away from the other two. So here, I can try... the Eye of God."
Huiye raised his hand, and a water elemental god's eye materialized and fell into his palm.
In an instant, all kinds of knowledge about the Eye of God were quickly shared in the Anqi Network and Teyvat World Intranet.
After a moment, Kaguya smiled with relief.
"So that's how it is. It's much better than I thought."
The Eye of God is related to Sky Island, or more precisely, to the Law of Heaven.
However, identifying the beliefs of the creatures of Teyvat, releasing the Eye of God, and ultimately recovering the power of the Eye of God that holds dreams and hopes is an automated process.
No one was paying attention to the movements of every God's Eye throughout the process.
Actually, it makes sense. If everyone can see it and pay attention to it all the time, then it would be strange if Sky Island didn't come to hold you accountable for issuing the Eye Hunting Order, Thor!
Kaguya held the Eye of God, feeling the gentle water element flowing through her body. She simply waved her hand, and a ten-meter-long water dragon rose into the air, then dived into the water again and merged into the seawater.
"It's insignificant in quality, but it's interesting."
Huiye smiled slightly, and after a moment, he decomposed the Eye of God in his hand with thought.
Chihiro begs to save the country.
Huiye also felt that such a country was totally inconsistent with her aesthetics and it was time for a change.
Well, first of all, we should walk around this country and take a look, and we should not make arbitrary decisions about what to do. The Eye of God is too conspicuous in the crowd, so it is better not to take it out for the time being.
Furthermore, in the eyes of those who truly understand the matter, obtaining the Eye of God means that a certain will is so pure and strong that it has been recognized by the laws of nature. This is the highest evaluation and recognition of personal will.
Although I haven't figured out how to use this highest-level proof yet, there will always be a time to put it to good use, so don't waste it.
"Huhu~~"
Kaguya smiled slyly, then set off, deciding to take a look around the battlefield area first.
"Pfft!"
Then he tripped over his left foot and fell into the sea.
"Gululu~~"
Hui Ye: “…”
An Qi: [……]
Wendy: [……]
It was the first time for them to use a human body in this world, and the Houkai Energy they were given was only a little more than the energy of a Thousand Man Core, which resulted in poor control over their bodies. This was something they had anticipated, but they didn't expect it to be so embarrassing.
……
Anyway, after a long time, Kaguya finally walked on the battlefield.
"stop!"
Kujo Sara led the patrol today.
It should be said that as the frontline commander of the shogunate army, Kujo Sara, a general who had the loyalty of all the soldiers and generals, personally led his troops to conduct inspections and patrols on the most dangerous front lines where conflicts were most likely to occur almost every day.
It was difficult for Kaguya to avoid being noticed by the patrol team with his careless walking, which alarmed Kujo Sara who was leading the team.
Kujo Sara stared at this weak-looking woman with a shabby appearance and a lot of dirt on her clothes and face, and said warily:
"Who are you?"
"Me? I'm just... an unknown passerby."
Kaguya took off the gravel and leaves stuck on his head from falling repeatedly, and a trace of bitterness appeared in his sad eyes.
Kujo Sara frowned, and murderous aura began to emanate from him.
"Nonsense! This is where the shogunate's army and the rebels are fighting. How could you be a stranger? Who are you?"
"I live in that direction, about seven or eight miles away, and I farm there. Today I heard the sound of killing very close to me, and when things calmed down, I came to see the situation... A lot of people died. I only walked such a short distance, but I have seen 774 bodies, and I don't know how many I haven't seen. There are shogunate troops like you, and there are also soldiers from Kaigi Island. So many people died, why did it have to be like this, why?"
Huiye looked at Kujo Sara dimly. The deep sadness and bitterness in her eyes made Kujo Sara hold back his murderous intent, and even looked away, not daring to look at her.
Chapter 28: Inazuma, I'm starving to death
"Sir, there is indeed a village there. We have already notified them to relocate, and most of the villagers have indeed moved away, but..."
But there are always some elderly, weak, sick and disabled people who cannot walk.
Although Kujo Sara was strict in his military administration, he was not a cold-blooded person. The shogunate army had limited manpower and could not escort the small number of villagers to evacuate. Forcibly driving them away would be equivalent to taking the lives of the elderly and weak. Therefore, they could only keep it like this for the time being.
Kujo Sara's brows relaxed and he said:
"Since you are villagers, please leave as soon as possible. This is a battlefield, and danger is lurking everywhere. The shogunate army will try to move the battlefield as far away as possible, and it will not affect the village, so please rest assured."
"The battlefield is zoomed out? Oh, what difference does it make? It's all the same."
"you……"
"Without trade, the imported high-quality grains quickly degraded on Inazuma's barren land. After just one or two rounds of planting, the yield had already dropped to a frightening level. Without the high-quality fertilizers brought by trade, the output of the land further shrank. At the same time, with the interruption of trade, the cheap grains from the six countries that were originally supplied in large quantities no longer entered Inazuma. Soon, we will starve to death. Not only our village that works hard to farm, but the entire Inazuma will become more and more hungry, and more people will starve to death every day. My lord, I see the hell of hunger, what about you?"
Kaguya said this calmly, while cleaning the weeds and gravel from his head as if nothing had happened.
Kujo Sara's pupils suddenly contracted, and he and the taxi driver behind him felt suffocated at the same time.
If they lose trade, will Inazuma starve to death?
For the first time, someone put this problem starkly before their eyes, and it was an undeniable and fundamental agricultural reality.
"San...San Bugyo will find a way. We won't let Inazuma become like that!"
"Really? I hope so, I hope so. I'm going back. The war is over. There are dead bodies everywhere. There's nothing to see. Goodbye."
Kaguya bowed and said goodbye, then turned around and continued walking slowly towards the village.
Only this time, Kujo Sara and the soldiers looked at her back as if they saw something extremely heavy.
"Go and get some people to follow her from a distance and escort her home safely. By the way, make sure she is not a spy from Haigi Island."
"Yes, my lord!"
"Also... the Three Commissioners will properly handle the food problem. At least so far, there has never been a mistake in the food supply to the frontline troops. This is proof. You must believe in the Three Commissioners' loyalty to the General. I will tell you that the Three Commissioners will properly handle the food problem!"
“Yes!”×N
Kujo Sara temporarily calmed the army in this way.
But after returning to the barracks, she couldn't help but pick up a pen and write a letter to her adoptive father, the head of the Kujo family, asking about the food problem that she had never understood before but was indeed a major issue for the country.
And this letter is destined to get no useful response.
As the most powerful of the Three Magistrates and the current de facto ruler of Inazuma, how could the head of the Kujo family not be aware of the plight of the Food Kingdom?
But what does it matter? Anyway, the situation at the bottom will not reach the general's desk. Anyway, as long as General Raiden is still sitting in the castle tower, Inazuma will be as stable as Mount Tai. The life and death of the lowly people are as insignificant as grass, and there is no need to care about them.
As for this calmness, part of it is out of genuine loyalty and sincerity.
……
Kaguya walked to the village near the battlefield.
Although she stumbled along the way and fell so often that the taxi driver behind her couldn't help but want to step forward to help her, she finally got there.
There are indeed not many people left in the village.
They were all lonely and helpless elderly people. The young people in their families moved away to avoid the war, but they stayed behind to die.
It would be hard to even say that this is unfilial.
The villagers already have scarce resources, and they have to migrate long distances to avoid the battlefield, and then rebuild their homes in a distant and unfamiliar place. The whole process will be extremely difficult.
The shogunate army only notified the people but did not help with the arrangements. Therefore, young people could easily die in the process, not to mention the elderly. Bringing them along would only put the whole family at greater risk.
For the sake of young people and children who deserve more protection, most of the elderly people voluntarily asked to stay.
They are guarding their roots here. If the war fades away in time, they may be able to wait for the young people to come back and reunite with their families. If they can't wait, they just want to know that the young people are living well in the distant place.
These are the lower class people under the background of ancient production conditions.
They even have to thank Kujo Sara for his tolerance, otherwise if the shogunate had forcibly driven them away, these old people would not even be able to survive like they do now.
"Kaguya-chan..."
"Little Huiye is back..."
"Kaguya-chan, I picked some delicious wild fruits. Everyone is in for a treat tonight..."
The few elderly people left in the village all greeted Huiye warmly.
Kaguya responded politely one by one.
Yes, she came here before she met Kujo Sara on the battlefield. She was a refugee from a distant place, and now she is the only one left in the family. With a little psychological suggestion, the old people tend to regard her as a substitute for the young people in the village. Otherwise, there would not necessarily be such harmony.
It is not an insult to say that poor mountains and bad waters produce bad people, but when people are in dire straits and have no other options, they can really do anything. This is human nature, and we just need to face it.
"I have found out that the battle outside is over and will not affect the village for the time being. Everyone can sleep well tonight."
Kaguya spoke gently to the old men, while taking a piece of wild fruit handed to him and taking a bite.
It was sour as hell, but Huiye remained calm and even smiled.
"Thank you, that's sweet."
"Eat more if they're sweet. There aren't many things that can fill my stomach right now. I don't know how much food I can harvest from the fields this time... Ah, maybe I won't even be able to wait until they're ripe. Then I'll have to trouble you to harvest them, Huiye-chan."
A few old men in simple clothes and a young girl who was equally dirty walked and talked as they entered the village.
Outside, several soldiers who had followed here for protection looked at each other silently, then turned back to report.
……
Kaguya plans to use this as a starting point to learn more about the current situation of this country, then travel around to see the world, and finally formulate a plan for this country.
Unexpectedly, she only stayed in this village for three days.
"Crackle~~"
The flames burned the village, and there was a sound of grass and trees bursting.
Huiye had only gone far away to gather wild fruits and catch some fish to provide some nutrition for these old people. When he came back, he had become like this.
"Field, my field..."
An old man looked at the burning rice seedlings in the field with pain and despair, and also at his future food supply. He staggered and threw himself into the sea of fire.
"and many more……"
Hui Ye rushed over to stop them, but it was too late... or she didn't know how to stop the old man who had lost everything. With his family gone and his fields burned, where can they go from now on?
Chapter 29 I Want to Exterminate
The cause of the incident is simple.
The Umijima rebels searched for a breakthrough point, and the shogunate surrounded them. Then the two armies met, and the shogunate's rockets covered the place.
No one deliberately targeted the village, but its existence was a mistake, even though the people who built the village had actually come here to settle and farm long before the two armies.
Kujo Sara failed to fulfill her promise.
Kaguya looked at the wild fruits that fell at his feet and the still-jumping sea fish, then looked at the village where there was nothing but flames, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
"call--"
The wind brought news from all directions.
There were many other villages reduced to ashes around Ta'ersha.
