Chapter 248: Conflict on the Outlying Islands
"That little brother named Thoma, since the formalities have been checked, can the hall master leave this island?"
"Master Hu Tao, I just checked the permission to land on the island, if you want to stay on the outlying island, you have to go to the Northern Supervision Division, and as for leaving the island, you also need the approval of the Northern Supervision Division."
Thoma leads the way as he explains the procedures to the crowd, and Paimon scratches her head when she hears Thoma explain a lot of steps, her unsmart little head is now in the paste.
"Uh... It's so complicated, so strict... ”
"After all, in Inazuma, foreigners are called strangers, and it's not difficult to see from the literal face that foreigners are not so popular in Inazuma, where the lockdown order is enforced, even on the outlying islands where strangers have settlements, so please understand."
Hearing Paimon's complaints, Toma smiled helplessly, in fact, he used to be able to buy specialties from some merchants from Mondstadt, but now let alone specialty, he hadn't even seen a Mondstadt merchant ship that could break through the thunderstorm around Inazuma for a long time.
"I remember that when the caravan of the Ka family came to Inazuma to do business, it seems that there were not so many rules on the island, right? It's only been more than two years, and the outlying islands have become like this. “
After the caravan returned to Liyue from Inazuma, Wakaban had heard the caravan's leader tell him a story about Inazuma, and Wakaban had never heard of such rules at that time.
"That's also something that can't be helped, if you don't know the virtue of Kanding, the Tong family, who manages Kanding, will set any rules in order to be able to collect money more efficiently."
Thoma smiled bitterly and explained in a low voice, the outlying island is the territory of the Tong family, and he has already attracted the attention of the secret when he comes to the outlying island as the housekeeper of the Kamisato family, and if he blatantly says this kind of thing, it will inevitably fall into the mouth.
As for the image of Inazuma in the hearts of the people of the Inazuma, Thoma felt that if the Inazuma people stayed in Inazuma for a few days, even if he praised the Inazuma perfectly now, the few people of the Inazuma would be able to know what the current Inazuma was like in a few days, and it would be better to be honest with each other directly than to praise the Inazuma with a conscience here.
"Letting a family manage a country's finances without supervising it, this Thor thinks everything too well, and Mora's temptation to ordinary people is definitely something that no one can resist."
As Mora's god of manufacturing, no one understands Mora's attraction to ordinary people better than Zhongli, and Zhongli thinks that it may be because the Thor is too young, and hopes that she can see all this as soon as possible.
"I've done all the procedures for landing on the island, if you want to go through the mainstream procedures, sign here and pay the mora."
At the formalities office, a woman was holding a light reading book, and when she noticed that someone was coming, she continued to look at the light in her hand without raising her head, without the slightest intention of looking at people.
The lightness of this book "The Young Master of Kamisato Falls in Love with Me" made her intoxicated, and every sentence in it was written in her heart, and the content portrayed in the book satisfied all her fantasies about Kamisato Ayato.
"Ying, how does this guy look even more dragged than you, it's really infuriating."
Paimon muttered something in Ying's ear, and Ying nodded approvingly, isn't she just a money-collector, what's there to drag, she's still an honorary knight of Mondstadt.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, if you pay the fee, it's a million per person."
"What!! A million per person?? What about you robbing??? “
Ying was taken aback by this number, she thought that after the 500,000 Mora she had saved recently was returned to Yae Miko 400,000, the remaining Mora would be enough for her to live an easy and good life in Inazuma, but now she was told that she would need 1 million Mora to go through the formalities, isn't this the one she should be the wrongdoer.
"It's only a million Mora, if you don't have it, you can ask your friends to help pay for it, those gorgeously dressed boys don't look like people who lack Mora."
Lily Hua, who was in charge of the formalities, silently put the book aside, when she was doing ordinary supervision on the outlying islands before, she had developed a sharp eye, as long as she glanced at a person, she could analyze whether the person was rich from the clothes and temperament.
It is precisely because of this skill that after the last person who sat in this position offended Yae Miko's friend and was transferred, she was successfully transferred to this fat position.
Just by looking at it, she immediately judged that the richest of the few people should be the handsome guy with golden eyes and black hair who looked very temperamental, followed by the rich young master who was dressed in Liyue's golden fur and holding a young girl, and these two people looked like sons from other countries.
"Aren't you bullying honest people? How can there be a procedure that costs a million Mora, the head of the parish is so big, and he has paid a fine for so many years and has not paid a million Mora. “
Knowing that Mona and Zhongli don't have a Mora on their bodies, this Mora finally wants her, the master of the Afterlife Hall, Hu Tao can't sit still at all, she didn't bring too much Mora with her when she goes out this time, if she really spends it here, not to mention the establishment of the Inazuma Branch in Inazuma, she Hu Tao may even have to sleep on the streets.
It's nothing for her to sleep on the streets by herself, anyway, she can still go to sleep with Ruoban, the key is that she can't accept the fact that Mona and Zhongli are sleeping on the streets, if even her own employees have to follow her to suffer, this is simply a dereliction of duty on her part.
Seeing that Hu Tao directly took out the staff of Goma, Lily Hua did not show any surprise, she had encountered this kind of thing many times before, she just clapped her hands gently, and a team of private troops of the Tong family immediately besieged Hu Tao and the others.
"Ahem, Miss Lily Hua, this is just a misunderstanding, otherwise, for the sake of the head of the family, how about letting my friends go? Handling fee or something, I'll treat you to a meal when I have time. “
At this moment of tension, Thoma stood up in time, although the three commissions are hostile to each other, but some small things will still be very tacit with each other to give face, otherwise it will be troubled to the general, and the three commissions will not have good fruit to eat.
"Ah, Mr. Thoma, why didn't I see you, since you are friends with Mr. Thoma, it seems that it was just a misunderstanding."
Yurika saw Thoma suddenly stand up, and his originally cold face immediately showed a bright smile, Toma, the housekeeper of the Kamisato family, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the second-in-command of the Kamisato family, Yurika wants to hook up with Kamisato Ayato, the head of the Kamisato family, and Thoma is something she must not offend.
"I didn't expect Miss Lily Hua to be so understanding, I will definitely tell the head of the family about this."
Seeing that her goal was achieved, Lily Hua walked in front of Hu Tao with a smile, and with the advantage of her height, she lowered her head and looked down at Hu Tao, and said sarcastically.
"Little girl, are you very good at fighting?"
"What's the use of you fighting, you have to have power and background when you come out to play, what background do you have in Inazuma? If it weren't for Mr. Thoma's presence today, you would have been arrested and sent to the shogunate's prisons. ”
Looking at the sneer on Lily Hua's face, Hu Tao's face was flushed with anger, and he noticed the fire element surging in the eyes of Hu Tao God, Ruo Ban stepped forward and gently shook Hu Tao's hand to soothe Hu Tao's emotions, and then looked at Lily Hua coldly.
"If Inazuma's hospitality is so rude, then I don't think I, Liyue's ambassador to Inazuma, need to stay in Inazuma either, and I will report what Your Excellency has done today to Liyue Qixing, and then I think Qixing will definitely consider the cooperation between Liyue and Inazuma carefully."
