"This is?" Thomas looked at Jiang Bai curiously, waiting for Sora to introduce him.
"This is Jiang Bai, our friend. He defeated the Fool's Executives. Not only that, he also single-handedly defeated two Executives. He also helped a lot during Mondstadt's dragon disaster."
Kong pushed Jiang Bai to the front of the stage without hesitation, exaggerating Jiang Bai's various great achievements, trying to make Jiang Bai become Thomas' target, so as not to only focus on him.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. I'm just an ordinary worker. I don't even have the eyes of God. I don't have the strength to defeat the fools and the executive officers. I know how to joke." Jiang Bai looked at Kong with a threatening face.
There must be something wrong with bragging about him like this.
He turned to look at Paimon, "Paimon, please introduce this person to me."
Paimon didn't know what Xiao Jiujiu the two were doing. Hearing Jiang Bai's words, he took the initiative to introduce: "This is Thomas, a person from the society. We are grateful to him after we arrived at the outlying island!"
"Mr. Toma, I've seen you for a long time! Do you want to know about the cross-border package at the Rebirth Hall?" Jiang Bai stuffed a flyer into this new acquaintance as usual, confirming his identity as a worker.
What you say about defeating the fools and the executive officers is all unfounded. You can’t just talk nonsense!
Thomas simply scanned the flyer and put it away with a smile.
"I've admired you for a long time, thank you, I don't need it for the time being."
Thomas actually knew Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai's defeat of the fools did not deliberately ask to be concealed. Although not many people knew about it, it did spread.
They can know about Kong's deeds, and naturally they can also know about Jiang Bai, who also showed amazing results during the Liyue disaster.
It's just that compared to Kong, who can easily make waves as a traveler, Jiang Bai is lower in their wooing list.
"Kong, do you want one? You are so good at talking, you might need it at any time!" Jiang Bai held the flyer and looked at Kong with a smile.
Looking at Jiang Bai's kind smile, a drop of cold sweat left on Kong's forehead, and he waved his hands quickly.
"No, no!"
Jiang Bai put away the flyer, and the two brothers seemed to put their arms around his shoulders, "That's pretty much it! Do you think so?"
Kong smiled sarcastically, "Yes, yes, yes."
Thomas interrupted at the right time, "Mr. Jiang Bai also came to see the statue?"
"Yes, it looks different from the Seven Heavenly Gods Statue from a distance, so I came here to take a closer look."
When Jiang Bai said this, Paimon also reacted.
"Yes, it really doesn't look like the God of Thunder on the statue of the Seven Heavens!"
Several people looked at Thomas. At this time, only this local man could answer their questions.
"Who is the carving of this statue?"
"I don't know that either." Thomas scratched his head in embarrassment, "I only know that this statue is called [Statue of Thousand Hands and Hundred Eyes], and it was built under the order of the General. As for who carved it, I really don't know."
This matter also caused a lot of discussion among the citizens. In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that this may just be an artifact ordered by the General to suppress the Eye of God, and there is no specific reference.
Normally, everyone stays far away from here and doesn't come over to worship the statue or pray.
"What? You're just a local coward. You don't even know this." Paimon said with disgust.
Thomas defended himself, "I feel that this statue is just a symbol of the general's eternity, not the person who really has this message."
Jiang Bai poked Kong with his elbow, "Hey, does the unknown god who stopped you look like this?"
Sora shook his head, "It's not like this."
"That's really weird."
It is too abnormal to build such a large statue of a god in the main city of a country, but no one even knows who the statue looks like.
"Let's take a closer look." Toma walked directly under the statue, and Sora and Jiang Bai followed.
"These are all God's Eyes, right?" Kong asked with certainty as he looked at the several God's Eyes of different colors on the statue.
Thomas nodded, "It seems that you have also heard about the Eye Hunting Order. Yes, the confiscated Eyes of God will be placed here."
Jiang Bai's eyes fell on the God's Eye on Toma's waist, his brows raised slightly.
Even though you know the Eye Hunting Order and still wear the Eye of God so openly, do you think that you are one of your own people who follow it, so it won't be confiscated?
"Why did General Thunder and Lightning issue the Eye Hunt Order?" Paimon asked in confusion.
Thomas explained the reason:
"Inama is the kingdom of [eternity], and General Raiden is the supreme ruler of Inari and the god of Inari. The unchangeable eternity for thousands of generations is His will that governs this country.
"For this reason, the government relied on the Three Acts to stabilize the country, and the national lockdown order was used to cut off the flow of people. The general wanted Ina Wife to remain static, so he could let the long river of time flow by on both sides, but Ina Wife remained motionless until 【eternal】."
Looking at the statue in front of him that had many eyes of gods embedded in it, he continued:
"Of course, this is my own understanding. The reason for the recent Eye Hunting Order may be that the general believes that the Eye of God can provide the people with the power of [change], and the [eternity] in the general's eyes cannot allow such [instability] exist.
"So General Leiden sent [Tian Ling Shi Xian]'s men to collect them everywhere, and embedded the eyes of God into this huge statue one by one.
"Therefore, this [statue of Thousand Arms and Hundred Eyes] can be regarded as a symbol of Inazuma's [eternity]."
"For us, the Eye Hunting Order is something that should not exist. Miss Kamisato made up her mind to fight from the first day the Eye Hunting Order was promulgated."
Jiang Bai glanced at the Eye of God on his waist after listening to Thomas's words and said nothing.
The Miss Shenli he mentioned must also be the holder of the Eye of God.
It would be too high-sounding to make up the determination to fight on the first day.
Compared with the Eye Hunting Order, the Lockdown Order obviously has a greater impact on people's lives.
The so-called resistance is just because it involves self-interest.
To be honest, after witnessing the behavior of the shogunate army on Hachijima Island and the destruction of town objects on Kaijijima Island, and then hearing these words in Inazuma Castle, his heart did not waver at all.
Kong reached out and touched the statue, and the next moment, he covered his head with a headache.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Bai looked at him, what did he find again?
"So many voices."
"sound?"
Jiang Bai, who was thoughtful, also reached out and touched the statue. The next moment, countless voices rang in his ears, noisy and muddy, making his head buzz and hurt.
He quickly let go of his hand, feeling a little uncomfortable on his face.
Zhongli said that the Eye of God is the product of wishes, and these voices should be the wishes left in it by the owner of the Eye of God.
Putting so many wishes together is really extremely strong.
