Chapter 709: How is it that this Raiden Shogun seems like a completely different person

~5 min read 959 words

And afterward.

Arlecchino walked down the streets of Inazuma with a hint of disappointment.

Using the name of the Tsaritsa, she had successfully met with the Raiden Shogun and engaged in discussion and conversation with her.

She hoped to exchange knowledge regarding Celestia and the world for the Gnosis.

Unexpectedly, that Raiden Shogun merely pondered for a moment.

Then she revealed a smile that was not quite a smile, indicating that this information was not enough.

It would be best to show some sincerity.

Then, in the ensuing conversation, Arlecchino was successfully led around in circles, being played back and forth, which allowed the Raiden Shogun to propose a new price; as long as that requirement was met, the Gnosis could be obtained.

Finally, when Arlecchino came to her senses, she was dumbfounded. This wasn't right!

Is this still the Raiden Shogun who ignores worldly affairs and only knows how to pursue martial prowess?

What happened to leaving everything to the Tri-Commission to handle?

How is she as shrewd as a ghost!

That abacus of hers was calculated so well that even a woman who had lived as long as she had suffered a loss.

One must know that she had founded that orphanage and taught batch after batch of Fatui; her age was not as young as she appeared, and in reality, she was also an old hand.

Yet, like a ghost, she had been played by the Raiden Shogun?

It's outrageous.

This Raiden Shogun is a bit off.

It's completely different from what she had imagined!

Logically speaking, shouldn't the normal development be that after she arrived here and used those materials as exchange conditions, that Raiden Shogun would neatly and readily exchange the Gnosis?

After all, the Gnosis is not critical to these gods.

And the Raiden Shogun doesn't have a great relationship with Celestia either.

The Tsaritsa once said.

Because of that position of the Seven Archons.

This current Raiden Shogun had actually committed suicide, letting her sister be the first Raiden Shogun.

Later, she also followed orders to head to Khaenri'ah, which led to the death of the first Raiden Shogun.

Therefore, she is not part of the faction that is close to Celestia.

It's just that she says on the surface that eternity is closest to Celestia, to avoid Inazuma becoming the next Khaenri'ah.

And regarding the actions of the Snezhnaya nation, the other party should logically have gone with the flow.

Even if she didn't support it, she wouldn't refuse.

That was the attitude.

As a result, she had been fleeced.

How is it that this Raiden Shogun seems like a completely different person.

Damn it.

Not to mention that at the time, there was also a purple bird beside the Raiden Shogun, eating something there.

It had an attitude of completely ignoring her.

For some reason, Arlecchino even saw the indifference in that bird's eyes, as if it were looking at her like air.

It was unbelievably arrogant.

But Arlecchino dared not have any objections.

Because her intuition told her that the bird made her feel a bit creeped out; it was quite dangerous.

It was an extremely terrifying creature.

Strange.

How could there be such an elemental creature beside the Raiden Shogun?

It's completely different from the Raiden Shogun in the files.

It was clearly said before that the Raiden Shogun didn't manage affairs much, but looking at it now, she's an old monster!

Sigh!

So she could only sigh here.

This means she has to go back to Snezhnaya again to ask for the opinions of the Jester and the Tsaritsa.

If they agree, then she will have to return to Inazuma once more.

It's truly an errand job.

She's just a middleman.

Forget it.

Anyway, the subsequent matters are for those higher up to consider; she doesn't need to think so much.

She might as well wander around the current Inazuma a few times and then go back.

She heard that the Onmyoji of Inazuma have started to become popular again, picking up the glory of hundreds of years ago.

And thus have become an existence that is in no way inferior to, or even superior to, a Vision?

If she could witness powerful Yin-Yang Arts, it wouldn't be a wasted trip!

Let's see what the difference and gap are compared to Vision holders.

It should be a completely different style from the abilities of a Vision, right?

It's just that not much time has passed.

She doesn't know if anyone can reach that level.

Ultimately, it would still be that Seimei taking action that would best reflect the standard of Yin-Yang Arts, right?

It's a pity that during the process of going to meet the Raiden Shogun this time, Arlecchino did not see that elusive Onmyoji.

Just like the rumors, he is still so mysterious.

Without some luck, one really can't see him.

Unless one stays in Inazuma forever.

After all, she heard that the Seimei from before had appeared at the port.

While thinking about these things.

Arlecchino did not notice that the people around her were getting fewer and fewer.

And even gradually.

The few Fatui subordinates following behind her had disappeared.

It was only at this moment that she suddenly woke up.

She struggled out of that state where her perception was affected, and her cognition returned to clarity.

Then Arlecchino looked around, and was directly startled.

The street that was clearly bustling to death just before, with people coming and going, and stalls and sellers everywhere shouting and greeting customers.

There were also all kinds of Inazuman people on the road.

Among them were many tourists from other countries.

As a result, now, they were all gone!

This place had become completely empty.
