Chapter 121 Linghua's 3 Missions
"You three have traveled across the ocean and have been exhausted by the journey. Yet, you can only meet me in this way at my house. Please forgive my impoliteness."
A gentle female voice came from behind the barrier.
"I have been looking forward to your arrival..."
Hines suddenly interrupted Kamisato Ayaka's polite words.
"Sorry, there are only two of us now."
Ayaka:?
Thomas quickly explained,
"Miss, the white flying creature caught a cold yesterday and was not able to attend this meeting."
Catch a cold? Such a niche word.
Although Linghua wanted to complain, she held back and spoke again calmly.
"I've been looking forward to your arrival. From what Thomas has said, I'm convinced you possess the power to change the situation..."
Afterwards, Linghua briefly talked about how the society is committed to serving the people and how she couldn't stand Inazuma's implementation of the Eye Hunting Order.
"...Traveler, please lend me your strength, we will surely be able to..."
"We're only here to see General Raiden."
Linghua was interrupted before she could finish her words. Thomas frowned visibly and looked at Hines.
At this time, Chines was eating watermelon, eating watermelon in the physical sense.
Oh, if it’s not him this time, then it’s Ying. Why are these two guys so rude!
Ying continued,
"We have no interest in rebellion."
The ruthless rejection made Linghua, who was behind the barrier, suspicious for a moment. Thomas seemed to see through everything. He said,
"I told you, miss, that won't work."
Ying glared at Xines who was still eating melon.
"We're leaving!"
But she didn't hear the sound of Xines getting up, and when she turned around...
No? Is this melon really that delicious? Are you possessed by Paimon?!
......
"Ying: We should go. Xines: Wait until I finish eating this melon!"
"I'm dying of laughter. Ying is so embarrassed."
"I'm just curious about the taste of the violet melon now!"
......
Taking this opportunity, Linghua quickly spoke to persuade him to stay.
"Wait a minute! Please...don't go yet..."
Linghua's tone was no longer as calm as before, but rather a little anxious.
"I can introduce you to General Lei Dian, but the prerequisite is that you help me fulfill three small wishes."
Hines took out the handkerchief he carried with him and wiped his mouth, because he had to do another mission soon and couldn't continue eating melon.
"What wish?"
Ying is still somewhat interested in the wish of the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family.
"It's about three people who lost the Eye of God... Once you meet them, you might understand."
Thomas looked towards the barrier and sighed silently.
Linghua briefly introduced the three people: the warrior who guarded the village, the executor of the Eye Hunting Order, and the kendo master who aimed to be the best in the world.
"...Please help them as much as you can. I'll be here waiting for you to come back."
Hines stood up and walked to Ying's side. The two left Kamisato Mansion together. Thomas watched them leave and said goodbye to them warmly.
"Come on, man!"
As the gate of Kamisato Palace closed, Thomas relaxed.
"Miss, the exchange terms you offer are not what we agreed upon. No matter what, it is too risky to rely on their kindness."
Thomas was somewhat helpless about Linghua's sudden change of plan. According to the conclusion of the previous investigation, if Ying and Hines were rewarded with introductions, they would also help resist the Eye Hunting Order.
But now, after seeing the three people whose Eye of God was taken away, Ying and Hines are still unwilling to resist the Eye Hunting Order.
Then Thomas and Linghua couldn't offer any chips to make them excited.
"Thomas, we need more than just a mercenary. I want them to be our 'friends'..."
"...If they understand the pain of losing the Eye of God, but still choose to ignore it..."
Thomas understood what Linghua meant and laughed.
"As expected of a young lady, you are indeed thoughtful."
The perspective turns back to Ying and Hines. Following the information provided by Kamisato Ayaka, the two of them easily found their first destination - Konda Village.
"It seems this is Konda Village."
Ying looked at the village in front of her and put away the map in her hand. It is worth mentioning that this map was asked from the people of Shenli Mansion before they left.
The man still remembered that Thomas had specifically told them of their distinguished status when he brought them here. So within five minutes after Hines made this request, a map with extremely detailed markings appeared in the hands of the two.
"After all these years, why did you leave so suddenly?"
The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw a white-haired old woman hunched over, with another white-haired old man beside her, who together with her asked Mr. Teshima in front of them questions.
"It seems this is Mr. Teshima that Kamisato-san mentioned."
After saying this, Hines started walking towards the three elderly people, leaving Ying alone to think.
How did you know this person was Teshima?
Before Ying could figure it out, Hines had already started collecting intelligence.
"Hello, old lady, what are you doing?"
"You, are you also here to persuade Mr. Teshima to stay?..."
......
"What a way to keep them here! We've been protecting these villagers for thirty years, and you won't even let them go on a trip?"
"They've become so dependent on the island that they don't even think about improving their own strength."
"A bunch of unruly people, worthy of being an island nation!"
......
Ying and Hines listened quietly to the old woman's story about Mr. Teshima, then Ying's mouth twitched and she took Hines aside.
"Mr. Teshima has protected them for 30 years, and now they can't even leave? These villagers are really overbearing."
Hearing the disdain and contempt in Ying's tone, Hines turned his gaze to the two people who had stopped Mr. Teshima.
"People always take the efforts of others for granted. Once that person stops giving, their bad nature will be revealed."
After saying this, Hines looked at Mr. Teshima again and added,
"Of course, this is only true for some people. After all, there is no shortage of shining stars among humans."
Hines still understands the principle of not being able to speak too much.
"Never mind all that, let's go ask Mr. Teshima directly."
Ying didn't want to continue talking to these villagers who only wanted to leave behind a bodyguard, so she directly set her sights on Mr. Teshima.
By helping him, we have completed the task assigned by God.
"Mr. Teshima, why do you suddenly want to leave?"
Ying walked in front of Teshima, followed closely by Hines, who extended his hand to greet the security guard with 30 years of experience.
"Me? Rather than asking why I should leave, I don't know why I should stay here."
