Genshin Impact: What, the one we need to save is Focalors?

On a quiet morning, Lin Yide and Chiori quietly stepped into the solemn Grand Narukami Shrine.

This time, they didn't need to wait for an announcement, because as soon as Inagi Hotomi caught sight of them, she took the initiative to greet them and lead them to Yae Miko's residence.

As soon as Lin Yide stepped into the room, he was met with Yae Miko's cold eyes.

Her face was as cold as ice, and her eyes flashed with sharp killing intent.

He remained calm, sat leisurely on the wooden floor, and faced Yae Miko directly.

Chiori followed closely behind Lin Yide and sat peacefully beside him.

"Yide, you are too insane. Those were a thousand lives!" Yae Miko's words were full of anger and condemnation.

At the same time, she exuded an extremely powerful pressure, enveloping the entire room in a heavy atmosphere.

Faced with Yae Miko's anger and pressure, Lin Yide's expression remained natural and calm.

However, Chiori, sitting next to him, felt the weight of this pressure.

She felt as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on her, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Her face was slightly pale, and her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and fear.

Just then, her slender hand was suddenly enveloped by a somewhat rough big hand.

A warm current was transmitted from Lin Yide's hand, and at the same time, the pressure on her body disappeared in an instant.

She looked up at Lin Yide, her eyes couldn't help but be a little dazed.

Lin Yide didn't bother to pay attention to Chiori's gaze, his eyes were fixed on Yae Miko.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a hint of unfathomable meaning, and he slowly asked, "High Priest Yae, do you know the population of Inazuma ten years ago?"

Yae Miko was stunned by his sudden question, and after a little thought, she replied, "About six hundred thousand, right?"

"The exact number is about six hundred and fifty thousand." Lin Yide calmly corrected, then he changed the subject, "Then, do you know the population statistics for Inazuma last year?"

Yae Miko was silent. She knew the number in her heart, but it was difficult to say it.

Because the cruel reality represented by that number made it impossible to face directly.

Lin Yide did not wait for Yae Miko's response, but revealed a cruel fact by answering himself: "The population of Inazuma last year was less than 500,000, which means that Inazuma has lost 150,000 people in the past ten years.

So, where did these 150,000 people go?

High Priest Yae, have you ever thought deeply about this question?"

The pressure on Yae Miko had dissipated, and she no longer seemed so strong, and her face showed undisguised guilt.

Lin Yide continued: "Since Inazuma issued the isolation order a year ago, the number of people who have died of starvation on Watatsumi Island has exceeded 10,000.

Moreover, you may not know that due to the shortage of food, many Watatsumi Island residents who were not originally fishermen were forced to go out to sea to fish.

However, the Shogunate army of the Tenryou Commission took Inazuma warships and wantonly crashed the small fishing boats they encountered.

The number of Watatsumi Island people who died as a result is countless, far more than a thousand."

Yae Miko's face became even more dim. Faced with Lin Yide's questioning and the revelation of the cruel reality, she was speechless.

In the end, she could only let out a heavy sigh.

After a long silence, she said solemnly: "I agree to your plan, but I have one condition."

Lin Yide raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What condition?"

Yae Miko took a deep look at him and said seriously: "In the end, this country must be managed by the people of Inazuma themselves."

After hearing this, Lin Yide couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "High Priest Yae, do you mistakenly think that I have any ambition for this country? In fact, if it weren't for Chiori's request, I wouldn't have set foot here at all."

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that he was still holding Chiori's slender hand tightly, so he quickly let go and gave her an apologetic look.

Chiori shook her head gently, indicating that she didn't mind, but a sense of inexplicable loss welled up in her heart.

The thoughtful Yae Miko keenly captured this scene, and a sly look flashed in her fox eyes.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Lin Yide coughed lightly, and then continued: "Inazuma, as a country, should be ruled by the people of Inazuma in the future."

Hearing him say this, Yae Miko no longer hesitated, "The Grand Narukami Shrine will do its best to provide you with support, but please remember the promise you made here today."

Afterwards, the two sides further discussed the details of the cooperation, involving many practical operations and implementation levels.

As the sun gradually set and the golden afterglow shone on the earth, this detailed and comprehensive discussion finally came to an end.

As Lin Yide prepared to leave, Yae Miko suddenly asked, "Why are you doing this?"

Lin Yide paused for a moment. Naturally, he couldn't say that he was doing it to earn experience points.

So, he replied concisely and firmly: "Because I am Yide, that's why I do things."

Yae Miko naturally wouldn't believe this inexplicable answer. She always felt that there must be a deep reason behind Lin Yide's actions.

This made her even more interested in this man.
