On the outlying islands, the residence of the Kandai Executive.

Hiiragi Shinsuke still chose to meet this strange Sumeru sage.

After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't think it was necessary to pay attention to the art of speaking with Rama.

"Your Excellency, I didn't expect you to arrive in Inazuma here." He smiled and said, "What do you want from this country?" ”

After the closure of the country, there is no need for the three commissioners to do too much attention to things with these outsiders.

Anyway, externally, they hide under the general's naginata, and internally, they are the agents of the general's will, and there is no need to show weakness to anyone.

"My reputation is a bit odd, people think that I should sit in the office of Sumeru City as a great sage, but I haven't even returned to Sumeru much since I came to power." Rama calmly replied, "I want a longer life." ”

What to talk to whom.

Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke, according to the age of their two heirs, these two commissioners should now be regarded as the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period.

But it doesn't make much sense.

Hiiragi's eyes lit up, and even his expression was much gentler.

"The heirs of the Kujo family and the Hiiragi family have always sat in this position, and we are not the first to sit so steadily, and we don't feel that we are any special compared to our predecessors."

He did not hesitate to expose Inazuma's family heritage, Inazuma had long been accustomed to such a "stable and unchanging" model, and Hiiragi Shinsuke didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

Yes, he knew that Mondstadt's Knights of Favonius were free to be selected, and that the Seven Stars of Liyue allowed someone to rise to the top from scratch. But this is Inazuma, and Inazuma has its own rules.

"At this time, it's time to start thinking about the future. Whether it's cultivating an heir or arranging a marriage contract for an heir, this is a routine that should have been on the agenda for a long time. ”

"And we ourselves naturally need to consider when to give up the authority in our hands and return to the family to be an 'ordinary person'."

Rama looked serious.

When listening to the other party's speech, the sincerity of the expression is the most basic performance, and Rama is very easy to do - although he knows the follow-up answer.

This is by no means something that Shinsuke Hiiragi, Kujou Sara, or even anyone who has ever sat in this position likes to do.

The only reason they relinquished power was that their bodies could not support it, and like Zhongli, they would not choose to give up to Seven Stars in Morax's most powerful years.

Although the reasons are different, one is extremely confident and the other is power-hungry, the result is the same.

This is an overly ordinary answer.

"I've also learned a few things about Inazuma, and I'm afraid you're still far from the retirement you want."

Of course, Rama knew that Shinsuke Hiiragi didn't want retirement at all, but he said this because Rama didn't want to be misunderstood by the other party as belittling his pursuit.

This person's mouth is quite dirty, and the turn is not bad.

Hiiragi's impression score continues to rise.

"Your daughter, Miss Chisato Hiiragi, seems to be fond of Kujo Kamaji, the second son of the Heavenly Domain." Rama shook his head, "I don't know what Miss Hiiragi thinks, but since she has this kind of thought, I'm afraid you have to carry the great responsibility of Kanding on your shoulders." ”

Hiiragi Shen was silent, but he had actually suspected the Fatui.

Hiiragi is his only daughter, and if nothing else, she will probably take over the throne he has settled.

There is no problem with what Rama said on this point.

Just from this selection perspective, in fact, Hiiragi Chisato is no longer the best choice.

If nothing else, the future Hiiragi Chisato will definitely take over his position, and Kujo Kamaharu's brother Kujo Masahito will also be the best choice for the Heavenly Ryūryo.

The head of the Hiiragi family can't marry outside, and the love of this young man, even if it is considered in the best direction, can only end with Kujou Kamaji taking the initiative to come to the door.

At that time, this ordinary aristocratic marriage contract will become a marriage contract between the younger brother of Kanding and Tianling, not to mention the union of the two major commissions, just whether Hiiragi Chisato can suppress Kujo Kamaji, Hiiragi Shinsuke is not very optimistic.

If she can't suppress the Kujo family, then the future Hiiragi family will become a vassal of the Kujo family.

Because of this incident, he had suppressed Hiiragi's unnecessary thoughts, but this daughter tried to send a letter not long ago.

Thinking of this, Hiiragi Shinsuke didn't even have the heart to suspect the Fatui.

Besides, this information is not classified, whether it is Kujou Kamaji or Hiiragi Chisasa, neither of them has any power.

Hiiragi Chisato can't attract any capable people for the sake of love, and Kujou Kamaji is the second son, and under normal circumstances, he can't touch the position of the Heavenly Leader in his life, but anyone who has a little idea must go to his brother Kujo Masahito.

Without rights, there is no reliable expert. With just the human hands they can use, not to mention like a sieve, it is actually not much worse.

It's not surprising that the information leaked out of nowhere.

"It's a secret what you're talking about, but knowing it in your capacity isn't a big deal." Shinsuke Hiiragi sighed cooperatively.

Rama gave him enough reasons, and of course he had to reciprocate the respect.

Anyway, this is also the great sage of Sumeru.

"My daughter, she's really a little too obsessed with these little things."

Hiiragi Shinsuke has nothing to describe about love, a player of his status, can't he be accidentally splashed by a maid when he was drinking tea, and then "woman, you are very special" and found true love in a frame, right?

To be reasonable, with the growth environment of the Hiiragi family, there is really such a maid, he is in a better mood to open people, and his mood is almost to get rid of people.

"She's still young, and you still have plenty of time." Rama said softly.

Being young is a good excuse to let a lot of unreasonable things be revealed temporarily.

However, Hiiragi looked at Rama with a strange expression, "From your mouth, someone is still young, and there is still a lot of time, I guess you can't imagine the weirdness of this." ”

When such words came out of Rama's mouth, it was not mockery, but really funny.

Rama, who completed the lower Keshang in Sumeru and led the Sand Sea to overthrow the rainforest rule of Adjara, is actually the youngest of the current upper echelons of the Seven Kingdoms.

He said that others were still young and had enough time······ Well, very quirky.

Rama was dumbfounded.

This can be regarded as a habitual finish, no matter how many problems Hiiragi Chisato has, she is also someone's daughter.

Hiiragi Shinsuke himself said it, Rama didn't really plan to follow along and scold other people's cubs.

It's so customary to be neutral and comforting, because there is a little problem with his age.

"Qianli, she is not very successful, but it makes you laugh." Shinsuke Hiiragi shook his head, "But you came to Inazuma, so you must have something important to do. ”

His eyes burned, and he almost didn't speak directly, "I don't know what I can do for you?" ”

Shinsuke Hiiragi knew that Rama was fishing, but he couldn't help but take the bait.

It has nothing to do with the Hiiragi family, he just wants to have a healthier body and a longer lifespan.

If Rama can offer such a price, he is certainly willing to become Rama's supporter.

Teyvat's famous alchemy masters are few and far between, and even fewer are willing to spend their time on ordinary people.

"That's right, I have some plans for improving alchemy potions, but because of the materials, I can only try to get them from Inazuma." Rama looked sincere, "I hope you can give me some support, and of course, the information on these alchemical potions will also belong to you completely." ”

His words weren't direct, but Shinsuke Hiiragi had already understood Rama's needs.

It's not that he already knows Rama well, it's that he's already heard similar requests from another partner.

As far as the finished product experiment is concerned, the research and development process may be difficult enough, but the human testing after the finished product is taken out is actually more difficult.

The drug apparently works on normal humans, and although Shinsuke Hiiragi doesn't know Rama, he doesn't think Rama will go to research how to extend the lifespan of Sumeru's mushrooms.

Since the main body of action is a human being, whether it is a preliminary experiment or a final verification, it is necessary for "fearless warriors" to charge forward - if there is not enough data to prove the safety of this medicine on the human body, such as Hiiragi Shinsuke and Kujou Takayuki, how can they choose to take it?

It's not a clever trick, but Shinsuke Hiiragi has it right.

He pondered for a moment before pretending to sigh: "We have actually seen such a method of yours from the Fatuida. ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it." Rama was interested.

War is a business.

With the exception of a few conquerors who had the war itself as its own purpose, a war is usually waged because it is profitable.

Profitability is the key, and the sword is just a means to gain benefits.

The war between the shogunate and the rebels is one of the largest groups in Teyvat at the moment, and if things can develop to this point, the dominant side will definitely gain something from it.

"The Fatui are active on the front lines, and they have established an alchemy factory on the island of Yayu, from which they have produced a creation called the Evil Eye." Hiiragi Shinsuke lightly unveiled their role in it while observing Rama's expression.

"You should understand that the Evil Eye, under normal circumstances, this weapon that costs lives in exchange for strength is of little value." Hiiragi Shinsuke said, "The role of weapons and armor is to reduce the cost of victory, and the most basic requirement of the evil eye is to sacrifice his own vitality. ”

Rama bowed slightly, indicating that he would listen again.

In the end, it is the head snake of the ground.

When the Evil Eye is revealed, Sangonomiya Kokomi is able to quickly find the location of the Evil Eye Factory.

It's not surprising that Shinsuke Hiiragi was able to grab the other person's position.

After the lockdown of the country, no matter what the Fatui are capable of, if they want to do something big, the supplies still have to be collected from Inazuma itself. Following the tracking of the materials, the three commissioners could not catch the traces for no reason.

"Normally, we would stay away from the Evil Eye, but when we need to fight hard, the value of the Evil Eye is revealed." Hiiragi Shinsuke paused.

Of course, he was also curious about the power of the evil eye, and invested a certain amount of intelligence resources.

Because he understands something, Shinsuke Hiiragi is not interested.

This kind of power that requires krypton's life, even ordinary people will stay away, and they don't want to use it at all until they have to. And people like Shinsuke Hiiragi and Kujo Takayuki who have such great power and wealth will only have more expensive lives.

However, the Fatui are almost completely popularized within the Evil Eye, and even if their internal use can be somewhat moderated, the nature of the weapon is still the same.

The elite soldiers of an entire country are all ready to die······ What kind of thing is worth their so much effort?

Hiiragi Shinsuke didn't know, but he stayed away and didn't want to get closer.

The son of a daughter does not sit in the court, his life is so precious, there is no reason to fight with these people.

So when Rosalyn scolded him, Shinsuke Hiiragi could spit on himself.

Profit and the fear of death made him choose to obey the wishes of the Fatui in most cases.

"That's the value of war." Rama took over the topic, "But the soldiers of the Fatui seem to be equipped with evil eyes. ”

"It is impossible for them not to know the cost of the evil eye, and the whole Fatui from the bottom up, at least superficially, do not see any rejection."

Rama had an abrupt apology on his face, as if he suddenly realized that his words were out of place: "I'm sorry, I've seen the methods of the Fatui in both Mondstadt and Liyue, and I'm always thinking about how to handle things with them as imaginary enemies. ”

"But they always make me a little uneasy when they have such an attitude."

Shinsuke Hiiragi let out a sigh.

"It doesn't matter, how many people in Teyvat are wary of the Fatui, and your attitude is not abnormal." His smile was wide, "Let's go back to the question at the beginning, in the war between the shogunate and the rebels, the shogunate is clearly in an absolute advantage. ”

"The soldiers who had been bewitched by the shrine maiden and the serpent, and it was in such a situation that they proudly thought that they were fighting for the gods and their country, so they were impassioned and desperate."

Shinsuke Hiiragi lowered his eyes with a sneering look in his eyes, "They don't fear the cost of the Evil Eye, they will only resent why the Evil Eye can't squeeze more power out of their bodies, and they resent that they are not strong enough to protect the territory of Kaigon Island and the people of Kaigi Island." ”

When he raised his head, there was only compassion and admiration on his face: "Even if I take opposite positions, I still admire the bravery and fearlessness of these warriors. ”

"Your kindness." Rama praised, "The shrine maidens of the Coral Palace are so vicious that they use the evil gods who have long since died, and take advantage of the heroic and zealous sacrifices of these people to act for their own despicable purposes. ”

"You shouldn't let these valiant warriors be deceived."

Naturally, they ignored the Fatui led by the Black Hand and blamed the fault on the organizers of the Revolt on Kagi Island, the Sangonomiya.
