Chapter 113 The Trouble with the International Chamber of Commerce
Chapter 113 The Trouble with the International Chamber of Commerce
After a brief chat, Thomas learned that the three of them all wanted to meet General Lei Dian.
"Is this the purpose of your trip? Considering your status, this is indeed a grand goal..."
"...After all, General Lei Dian is a most noble and noble being, a god that all living beings can only look up to."
Thomas makes no secret of his respect for the God of Thunder, and this is also the view of the vast majority of Inazuma people.
Hines raised his head slightly and looked at the purple thunder in the sky.
"Even so, I have reasons why I must see Him."
Thomas could only offer words of encouragement.
"Meetings in this world are inherently unpredictable. Who knows, you might bump into General Lei Dian by chance one afternoon after a good meal and a few drinks."
Paimon saw through Thomas's consolation at a glance;
"How low is the possibility you are talking about..."
......
"Wendy: What is Paimon talking about?"
"Zhongli: According to general theory, he is wrong."
“The comments section is full of talent.”
"But let's be honest, aren't all the Seven Gods such weird characters?"
"Hey!"
"Wendy wandered into the comments section."
......
Ying glanced at Thomas suspiciously.
"Is there really no way you can get us to see General Thunder?"
"Well, I can tell you straight away, I have a way to introduce you to General Lei Dian."
Thomas was still a little embarrassed that he hadn't stopped a few people from being tricked. After all, he had promised Beidou to take good care of them.
Ying and Paimon looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.
Hines leaned casually against the wall by the roadside, quietly waiting for Thomas to tell him his way.
"Haha, if we mobilize all our resources, there will always be a way. But before that..."
"Connections are also a very expensive business, you understand?"
Ying and Paimon: I understand. Let's leave it to Sines to solve it.
The two men looked at Hines and gave him a thumbs up. Hines took out a bag of Mora and was about to throw it to Thomas.
Seeing this scene, Thomas was so frightened that he waved his hands quickly.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, the deal I'm talking about doesn't mean paying Mora..."
"If you want to get what you want, you must first help solve other people's problems."
Paimon listened to Thomas's long speech and raised his hand silently.
"So those people's troubles can be solved with Mora?"
Thomas was speechless for a moment. It seemed... indeed, it could work? But this wasn't a long-term solution.
"Mora can only provide a temporary solution to the problem, but what they need is eradication."
Thomas's eyes turned dangerous at that moment, but soon returned to his usual smiling face.
"I wonder if you have heard of the International Chamber of Commerce?"
After hearing Thomas's narration, the few people understood the current situation of the International Chamber of Commerce, but Thomas did not elaborate on the specific situation. He just asked them to find the president of the International Chamber of Commerce - Kurisu.
......
"It appeared. The familiar boring task of finding someone."
“As much as I hate auto-pathfinding in games, Genshin Impact could really use one!”
"Second, it would be better to add a function that automatically finds treasure chests!"
"No, what else would you guys do with all these features? Do we have to add an automatic monster-killing feature?"
......
Following the route indicated by Thomas, the few of them successfully found Kurisu, but Ying and Paimon had a question: why didn't Thomas come along?
"Oh? Friend, are you here to seek the protection of the International Chamber of Commerce? Could it be that the Supervisory Department of the Far Country has caused you a lot of money?"
When Kurisu saw that the clothes of several people were obviously not Inazuma style, his eyes became particularly gentle and he took the initiative to care about their situation.
Paimon scratched his head.
"Heavy bleeding? That shouldn't be considered a big deal. We only paid 300 million Mora."
Not counting, only, 300 million, that's all...
This short sentence gave Kurisu four shocks. He couldn't tell for a moment whether the world was crazy or he was crazy.
But there is no doubt that he and the world are normal, so the only problem may be with the people in front of him.
"Oh, damn that Far Country Supervisor, he even cheated the mentally ill out of their money!"
"?"*3
Hines coughed twice and took the initiative to explain,
"Don't listen to her. We have the help of local friends so we only paid 300 Mora..."
Hearing this finally normal number, Jiulisu breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Xines continued.
"I heard that the Chamber of Commerce has encountered difficulties recently?"
Kurisu described the recent difficulties he encountered with a dejected look on his face. Simply put, the taxes collected by the Kanjo Bugyo turned into crystallized bone marrow, and now only one merchant has stock.
When necessities are monopolized by one person, you can imagine how terrifying the interests behind it are.
As a result, the price of crystallized bone marrow skyrocketed, and the merchants of the International Chamber of Commerce were overwhelmed. At the same time, the amount of crystallized bone marrow that the Kanding Bugei needed to hand over increased...
"Oh, Fontaine, Fontaine, my hometown... I miss you so much..."
Kurisu almost choked up as he said this. Whether he was trapped in Inazuma by the isolation order or the oppressive laws of the Kanjo Bugyo, they all aroused this man's longing for his hometown.
Ying heard the familiar name of Fontaine and glanced at Hines. She found that his face was gloomy, so she pulled Hines' clothes and whispered,
"Don't be impulsive..."
Hines took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said with a smile,
"Where is that monopoly businessman?"
For some reason, Kurisu felt a little cold.
"If you want to find him, go look under the trees on the beach in the residential area..."
After getting the specific location, Hines turned around and left. Ying embarrassedly apologized for Hines' rudeness and said goodbye to Kurisu.
"This guy must have gone to help us solve a problem. We can't even thank him enough, so how can we blame him for being rude? Speaking of which, who are you?"
Paimon put his fist to his mouth and pretended to introduce a few people. Kurisu also expressed his shock politely.
Seeing that Hines had already walked away, Ying grabbed Paimon and chased after him.
Kurisu looked at the three people's backs and muttered to himself,
"Hines? That name..."
Being well-informed, he seemed to have seen this name in an ancient book before. It must be just a coincidence.
Ying and Paimon jogged to catch up with Hines, Paimon said breathlessly,
"Hines, why are you so anxious?"
"He is a Fontaine..."
Ying was standing aside with a puzzled look on her face, and so was Paimon.
Fortunately, Hinesh continued to add,
“…If He knew that His people were being wronged without cause, He would be remorseful.”
Paimeng and Ying: Why do I feel like I've stuffed a handful of dog food into my mouth...
