This was the first time he heard this statement.
"Yes, there are many foreigners who have come to Inazuma so far, but only a very small number of them have truly established themselves in Inazuma, and these people all have the same characteristics."
"What characteristics?"
"We are all attached to certain known large families of Inazuma and serve them."
Yae Shinto said seriously.
But what she said was not a lie. The most typical example was Thomas. After he joined the Kamisato family, his status in Inazuma rose sharply. Now his name has been put in front of General Raiden.
Although this is not a good thing, it is enough to prove the feasibility of doing so.
"In other words, you are now working for the Lord Palace Administrator?"
Bai Luo showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and gave his own understanding.
"I can't say that I work completely for the Palace Master, because my job is to be the editor of Yae-do, and Yae-do was established by the wise and beautiful Yae-sama."
When saying this, Yae Shinko didn't even forget to praise himself.
It fits her personality.
Afterwards, she looked at Bai Luo again and began her performance.
"So... what is the grudge between you and that magistrate? If you tell me, maybe I can help you. After all, I was given the surname [Yae]."
This is one of the reasons why she took the risk of being recognized and used the last name Yae. After all, only if her background was strong enough could she make the other party tell her the truth.
Otherwise, a lot of fun will be lost.
Bai Luo, who was putting rice into his mouth, paused for a moment, a hesitant expression showing on his face again.
When this hesitation was caught by Yae Shinko, a smile appeared on her face again.
She was not afraid of Bai Luo's hesitation, but she was afraid that this guy would be decisive.
As long as he hesitates, it means there is still room for negotiation and interesting things will follow.
"That guy is just an ordinary subordinate of Tianling Bugyo, and I am the confidant of Lord Gongsi. Just leave it to me, don't worry."ωω
The voice of Yae Shinko seemed to have some kind of magic. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have fallen for it.
But Bai Luo is different.
However, after realizing this, he quickly realized that it would be a bit unreasonable if he did not fall.
He can choose to wake up in the middle of the process, but he must never act as if nothing had happened.
Otherwise it would be too abnormal.
"It's because... my sister."
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Bai Luo murmured.
"younger sister?"
Upon hearing this, Yae Kamiko's eyes suddenly lit up, which means... ... there might be more than just Sora who came to Inazuma together.
And his sister.
As for what happened to his sister, perhaps it was related to that follower.
Ever since Inazuma closed the country off from the outside, and with internal interference from the Fatui, the country is no longer as peaceful as it appears on the surface.
Especially for foreigners.
It is not difficult to tell from "Kong"'s appearance that his sister should not be too bad looking, and it goes without saying what such a helpless foreigner will encounter in such a chaotic Inazuma.
"No, nothing..."
Speaking of his sister, Bai Luo seemed to come to his senses. He did not continue talking, but continued to eat with his head down.
But his silence made Yae Godson even more concerned.
But she didn't ask any more questions.
Since the other party was able to get rid of her magic, it means that his sister occupies a particularly large proportion in his heart, and can even affect her magic.
But if she continued to ask, it might have the opposite effect. She still understood the principle of playing hard to get.
"Do you have a place to stay in Inazuma?"
After making the decision, Yae Shinto asked about Bai Luo's residence.
It will also make it convenient for her to find the other party later.
"Well... I usually just deal with it in the suburbs, and there's no fixed place to rest."
Scratching his head, Bai Luo said with a little embarrassment.
This statement is not false. Apart from the Rock Tea House on Umi Island and Liyue, there is really no home in the true sense.
"Suburbs? There don't seem to be any extra houses there?"
Compared to Hanamizaka, where every inch of land is valuable, cheap houses in the suburbs are very popular. After the Fatui’s stronghold was destroyed, the place was quickly taken over by new buyers.
How did he settle there
"Actually... ... it's just competing for living space with some unfriendly creatures."
Bai Luo touched his head a little embarrassedly and said.
The so-called unfriendly creatures he mentioned reminded Yae Shinko of a certain existence - the Hilichurls.
In addition to the roaming wild people, the largest population in the White Fox Wilds is the Hillil people. Sometimes they even attack the suburbs and try to seize some daily necessities.
Could it be that... the unfriendly creatures he was talking about were the Hillichurls
"Captain Falga once taught us that the structure of the Hillock people is similar to that of us humans. As long as they can eat, we can eat it. Wherever they can live, we can live too. So we just need to find a way to drive them away, and then their camp will become our best shelter."
When talking about Grand Commander Falga, Bai Luo puffed out his chest with pride, and the admiration in his eyes was not concealed at all.
Although he had never seen this legendary man, it did not prevent him from bragging in the name of the other party.
Chapter 938: Send the bill to Yaedo
Seeing the little guy in front of him say such a thing as a matter of course, even Yae Shinko, who was just having fun at first, felt a little bit reluctant.
Although the other party said it lightly, she was very clear about how big the risk was.
Creatures like the Hilichurls sometimes do not have very good fighting power, but when they gather together, they can often burst out with power beyond people's imagination.
In addition to the Hillicre Shamans who possess elemental powers, some tribes even give birth to Hillicre Thugs, which are creatures that even the original gods find very troublesome.
The reason why the guys from the Aradaki faction can run rampant in the White Fox Wilderness is largely because their boss has the capital to do so.
But this little guy
He couldn't even defeat a single follower.
Apart from his peculiar hiding ability which he had developed to facilitate reconnaissance, he could be said to be an ordinary person with no combat power.
"Would you like to find a safe and comfortable place to live?"
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that there are still quite a few vacant rooms in Yaedo.
Originally, these rooms were prepared as accommodation for overseas authors who came from afar, but since the issuance of the lockdown order, they have been basically idle.
Apart from the fact that Yaedo staff would stay there when they worked overtime, this place had long lost its original function.
It’s not impossible to clean up a room for him.
"Um?"
Hearing this, Bai Luo did not show any happy or excited expression, but instead there was a barely noticeable hint of vigilance on his face.
And he just kept it at a level that could be noticed by the Eightfold God's Son.
It is true that people who often live in the open air would generally be very happy to hear that there is a new place to live.
But the [Kong] played by Bai Luo is different from others.
As an oppressed outsider, even if the other party is likely to be his fellow countryman, it would be unreasonable to trust the other party without any reason.
Otherwise, it would be easy for the Eightfold Divine Son to notice something was wrong.
He wants to make sure every detail is perfect.
"Yaedo happens to be short of staff. If you are willing, you can stay there temporarily. As for the Palace Administrator, I will go talk to her."
Yae Shinko's pause was just right, which showed that it was not that easy for her to "persuade" Lord Palace Administrator.
If Bai Luo really accepted her favor, he would definitely owe her a big favor.
The speed at which he ate rice gradually slowed down. After licking the rice grains from the corner of his mouth, Bai Luo pretended to think for a moment.
The slightly confused look in his eyes became determined.
"If there's anything I can do to help you, please feel free to do it!"
Hearing Bai Luo's reply, Yae Shinko smiled again.
This is exactly the effect she wants.
"Eat first, and I'll take you there after you finish."
Her mood suddenly improved, and she was generous for once, letting Bai Luo eat as much as he wanted.
However, because of what she said, she didn't dare to invite anyone to dinner for a long time afterwards.
Even if you invite someone, they still have to pay.
"Thank you for your patronage. The total is 660,000 Mora."
"How much more?"
Yae Shinko, who had already taken out his wallet, was slightly stunned and asked in a puzzled voice.
It's just a meal, why is it so expensive
Could it be that the reason I’m dressed like a Mondstadt person is that the other party thinks I’m easy to bully and they want to trick me
"See for yourself."
The boss seemed to see through her thoughts. He took out the bill and handed it to her with both hands.
After reading through them one by one, Yae Shinto fell silent.
She glanced at Bai Luo, who was touching his belly with an unsatisfied look on his face, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
One person ate 660,000 Moras worth of food and still looked hungry.
Is this guy still human
"Let's send the bill to Yaedo later..."
After signing her name on the bill, she said with a hint of helplessness.
The shop owner was a smart man. After seeing the signature above, he knew who this seemingly ordinary fox-eared woman was.
"Okay, thank you for your visit."
After a greeting, the shopkeeper took the bill.
As for the money, we must get it. After all, 660,000 Mora is not a small amount. But at most we will charge the cost price, and we will not really ask for 660,000.
"Did I...eat too much?"
Seeing that Yae Shinko and the store owner actually talked for so long, Bai Luo said with a slightly "embarrassed" tone.
But he was already laughing in his heart.
Although his friends often invited him to dinner, he always paid the bill to his friends after the meal.
Yae Shinko is truly the only one who dares to treat him directly in the store like this.
If I wasn't worried that eating too much would make Yae Shinko give up, it probably wouldn't be a big problem to finish all the stock in this restaurant.
"I promised you a good meal, so I won't break my promise. When you're done, follow me. I'll take you to Yaedo."
Originally, Yae Shinko wanted to tell him to eat his fill, but when he thought of the other party's unsatisfied look, he changed his mind temporarily.
She even suspected that the little guy was lost by the expeditionary force not because of the wind and waves, but because of his appetite.
With his appetite, if he were in the Shogunate army, he could eat the entire army's day's rations in one meal.
