Chapter 370

Lumine nodded.

Heaven knows how shocked they were when they saw the Raiden Shogun, who looked almost exactly like Big Sister Makoto; they nearly couldn't help but run up and shout, "Big Sister Makoto, protect me!"

"Do you remember what I just said?"

Paimon replied subconsciously: "What did you say?"

"Inazuma has had two generations of Raiden Shoguns, Baal and Beelzebul. Unlike the other seven Archons, they are twin Archon sisters."

Upon hearing this, Lumine and Paimon were completely stunned.

After finishing, Luo Li waited patiently for them to digest the information. Sangonomiya Kokomi, who was nearby, had never met Raiden Makoto and was quite puzzled, not understanding why the two were so shocked.

After an unknown amount of time, Lumine gave a start and suddenly realized.

"So, Big Sister Makoto is the first Raiden Shogun, Baal?!"

"You're very slow to react."

"Big Sister Makoto is actually the first Raiden Shogun."

Lumine was somewhat dazed; it turned out that back in Mondstadt, they had already encountered the Raiden Shogun.

The Raiden Shogun was right beside me?

"The news that the Raiden Shogun is a pair of twin Archon sisters is known to only a handful of people; you had best not spread this information."

Luo Li's instruction was quickly met with nods from the two.

Sangonomiya Kokomi, however, was lost in thought; looking at it this way, Father's identity was quite limited, to be able to know so much.

No wonder he was so confident in agreeing to her request.

Thinking of this, Kokomi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Why Father had this identity was not important; the only thing that mattered was that he had the ability to end this war.

The war itself had started rather like a farce; because of the Vision Hunt Decree, although the Sakoku Decree was somewhat inconvenient at first, the Watatsumi Island side had no intention of rebelling.

At worst, it was just a bit troublesome, but once the Vision Hunt Decree was issued, some high-ranking officials and capable generals naturally disagreed.

That was no different from taking their lives.

Thus, the situation reached a stalemate, old hatreds were dug up again, and the issue of religious conflict became increasingly clamorous.

Regarding this, Kokomi always felt it was somewhat strange; it seemed as if someone was fanning the flames and causing trouble.

Originally, the people of Watatsumi Island loathed war; even if the Vision Hunt Decree was issued, it actually had nothing to do with most of them, and they would have just endured it and moved on.

Unfortunately, the soldiers initiated the war themselves, and under that coercion, Kokomi had no choice but to oppose the Vision Hunt Decree.

Moreover, this order was not normal to begin with; depriving the people of their wishes was hardly the act of a qualified ruler.

Of course, she could not reason with Raiden Ei; the other party seemed not to care about the demands of a small group of people at all, only aiming to achieve the Eternal Kingdom.

"What does Father plan to do next?"

Having learned that the two newcomers were trustworthy, Kokomi naturally did not need to hide anything and immediately asked about his intentions.

Luo Li pondered for a moment and said: "If I remember correctly, you mentioned some time ago that there were several batches of material aid from unknown sources?"

"Yes, the supplies were not signed; they were sent across the sea by several merchants, which solved our urgent needs at the time."

Kokomi actually did not want to use supplies of unknown origin, but there was really no other way at the time; if it had dragged on, the army might have collapsed.

The other party had spotted this exactly, and their timely help solved her predicament.

"I once sent people to search for the person behind the scenes, but unfortunately, I gained nothing."

Speaking of this, the young girl felt somewhat ashamed.

She could manage military, political, and civilian affairs in an orderly fashion, but she was powerless when it came to espionage and reconnaissance.

Fortunately, those hidden guys did not put forward any conditions, merely wanting the resistance army to continue the stalemate with the Shogunate army.

Luo Li held his daughter's hand and squeezed it, signaling her not to blame herself: "No one is born knowing everything; for things you aren't good at, just learn more about them, and you will surely have strengths in the future."

"Mm, thank you for your understanding, Father."

The young girl leaned against Luo Li, her soft, sweet words very gentle, fully expressing her attachment to her father.

Lumine and Paimon looked on with question marks, blurting out: "Does Big Sister Makoto know you have a daughter?"

"Of course she doesn't..."

"Uh..."

As expected of you, easily doing things others wouldn't even dare to imagine.

With the first Raiden Shogun as the main wife, he could still go around provoking women and even raise an illegitimate daughter.

You really are something!

Lumine had to admire his courage and ability.

Finding their respectful gazes amusing, Luo Li shook his head gently.

They didn't understand Makoto's personality and thoughts, so of course they would misunderstand.

In reality, Makoto didn't take his philandering to heart at all; she focused more on maintaining the feelings between everyone, as well as the pleasure brought by the long passage of time.

Exclusivity stems from limited time, and although an Archon's time cannot be called infinite, it is enough to share among a few people in this long life.

"Let's not talk about me; let's talk about you first. Since you've arrived at Watatsumi Island, I assume you've already been put on the wanted list. If you want to get rid of these shackles, go help me do two things first."

Lumine: "..."

Paimon: "..."

This was completely different from what they had imagined just now.

Since you are the Raiden Shogun's brother-in-law, why not go directly and persuade the other party to abandon the Vision Hunt Decree?

Presumably, for the sake of her sister, she would consider it at least a little bit, right?

The two had wanted to cling to a powerful figure, after all, this guy seemed to be a big shot everywhere.

In Mondstadt, he was brothers with the Anemo Archon, and the Knights of Favonius all respected and admired him.

In Liyue, the immortals were respectful, and he chatted and laughed with the Geo Archon.

Who knew that when it came to Inazuma, it would get even worse; the Raiden Shogun directly became his sister-in-law.

Lumine sighed helplessly: "Speak, what is the task this time?"

Luo Li couldn't help but laugh at her headache-inducing appearance: "It's not a difficult task. Currently, the resistance army and the Shogunate army are confronting each other; to me, the casualties are all my own people—the palm and the back of the hand are both flesh. So, I'll trouble you to go to the Shogunate side and cause some destruction, so they'll be too busy to organize a war for the time being."

"By the way, on the resistance side, I will also have Kokomi issue orders to restrain them."

Paimon touched her head and said: "Just like that?"

"Otherwise?"

"Fine, I agree!"

Lumine agreed decisively; she had originally thought it would be some complex task, but it was just this?! ===== CHAPTER 372 =====
