Chapter 276 - Chapter 276: The Eleven-Tailed Fox, and the Exploding Cauldron

Under Sangonomiya Kokomi's call, the residents of Watatsumi Island gathered one after another.

Because a bridge had been built, it wasn't difficult to come up from the inner island. It just took a little time.

On the way, everyone began to discuss.

"Do you think it's true? The Divine Priestess said there's a new transport that can run on the sea. I heard it's a hundred times faster than our boats!"

"Tch... how is that possible? In my opinion... the Divine Priestess is rounding us all up! To hand us over to the Shogunate soldiers..."

"Who said that? Don't you feel like an idiot saying such things! When has Lady Sangonomiya Kokomi ever betrayed us? If she hadn't stepped forward that day, our Watatsumi Island would have been destroyed by the Electro Archon. If you have the guts, go challenge the Electro Archon in Inazuma City... if you don't have the guts, stop barking!"

Hearing someone slander Sangonomiya Kokomi, the soldiers couldn't hold back.

They had witnessed the pressure of the Electro Archon's descent. Don't look at how loud these people were shouting now. If they truly stood in front of the Electro Archon, they would probably wet their pants in fear!

An old man in the crowd fell silent, his face ugly. He naturally didn't dare to stand out. He only shouted slogans to bewitch people's hearts.

Because if he didn't do this, he didn't know how to do anything else! Only sowing discord came easy to him. Because he just needed to curse the Shogunate. Anyone could do that, right?

As for why he did this, it was because he was defeated by Shogunate soldiers decades ago, and he was unwilling in his heart.

After a walk of more than twenty minutes, the people finally arrived at the top of the rock wall.

Looking at the large white building built in the sea, everyone revealed shocked expressions.

"This... what is this?"

"Isn't that the sea? Why can a house be built there! It should sink, right? Even if it's made of wood, it shouldn't be this big!"

A station occupying hundreds of square meters. It shocked everyone.

This was simply building a small island out of thin air on the sea.

At that moment, people remembered the story Sangonomiya Kokomi had asked the soldiers to propagate these past few days.

It was said that from across the sea, a special transport would bring food and supplies. At that time, they only needed to work hard to completely get rid of their current impoverished life.

At first, people didn't believe it, but now they were dumbfounded.

So it was all true.

And at this moment, a piercing sound came from the distance of the sea.

People only saw a black dot constantly enlarging in their field of vision.

Clack-clack.

Clack-clack.

Clack-clack.

As the construction of the tracks entered a new stage, the train finally had its trial run. From seeing the shadow to the train's arrival, the whole process took only fifteen minutes!

What an amazing speed.

Thirty carriages arrived at the unfinished station.

With the opening of the door, a figure walked out.

"Unload the supplies first, be quick... we have a lot to do today."

"Yes, Lady Sucrose!"

The soldiers received the order and began to unload quickly.

Bags of grain were unloaded from the train.

And Sucrose found Sangonomiya Kokomi.

"You must be the priestess Big Brother Su Han mentioned? Because it's just a trial run, we didn't bring much food and supplies..."

"No, I should be thanking you!"

Sangonomiya Kokomi thanked her while asking her soldiers to open the packages.

As the bags opened, bags of rice and wheat appeared inside! Thousands of bags of grain piled up in front of the people of Watatsumi Island.

People looked at the grain and couldn't help swallowing their saliva!

Revenge? Fuck revenge!!!

They just wanted to eat their fill now.

Of course, rice and wheat were just the prelude. When racks of pork ribs were unloaded from inside, exclamations rang out from the crowd.

"Heavens... so much meat! I've never seen so much meat in my life!!!"

"If I can eat pork every day, I'll do anything..."

"Drool... me too, I... I haven't eaten pork in ten years!"

Listening to the voices of the people, Sangonomiya Kokomi nodded to Gorou and took out the prepared high-quality pearls.

"A total of three thousand high-quality pearls, and some coral! Please count them... it should be enough to exchange for these goods, right?"

"Mm, the number is correct! Then I'll leave this batch of goods to you..."

Their voices were very loud. It could be said that the nearby people all heard their conversation.

Wait. Transaction!

They almost forgot that those pearls could be exchanged for money.

At this time, Sangonomiya Kokomi said to her soldiers, "Men, distribute the goods..."

"Yes, Lady Priestess."

The soldiers opened the goods, took out the bags, and began to distribute them.

However, they were not distributing randomly. Instead, they called names by family.

"The Hiroyuki family, twenty catties of rice... five catties of pork!!!"

"The Ookubo family, twenty catties of rice... five catties of pork!!!"

"The Momoko family, twenty catties of rice... five catties of pork!!!"

People who received supplies cheered one after another. No one expected to get supplies just by coming here.

However, as households received their items one by one, people gradually discovered that some people did not receive resources. And these were the people who usually shouted revenge slogans the loudest.

Until the roster ended, resources were no longer distributed.

Seeing that most people had received resources, while they hadn't, those people shouted one after another.

"Unfair!!! Why don't we have those resources..."

"It's all rigged..."

"Sangonomiya Kokomi, you are colluding with outsiders!!!"

"Don't believe her..."

Faced with these accusations, Sangonomiya Kokomi sneered. "Why don't I give you food? Don't you know in your hearts? You shout about revenge all day long, but why didn't I see you when we went to the battlefield? Now that there is peace, you refuse to admit it. Still agitating people's hearts, trying to start a war."

"Men, arrest them and interrogate them strictly. If anyone tries to spread rumors in the future, their status as residents of Watatsumi Island will be cancelled. Those people will not be included in the distribution of supplies! Including their families..."

"Understood!"

The soldiers had just received benefits, so they naturally wanted to work hard.

In a few moves, they arrested those eighty or so people.

Today, Sangonomiya Kokomi not only wanted to establish authority but also declare her status! Anyone who dared to cause trouble would absolutely not have a good end.

However, her judgment was correct. Among these people who shouted slogans every day, half of them had been infiltrated by the Fatui. Some even still had connections with the Fatui.

"Simply seeking death! Expose them for me, and post those letters on the bulletin board..."

Sangonomiya Kokomi was about to explode with anger. It was one thing for there to be many traitors in the army, but there were so many in her hometown too!

She hoped this would be the last time, because she didn't want to bear the crime of killing her compatriots...

The incident ended.

Sangonomiya Kokomi took out the Transponder Snail and reported her results to Su Han.

The other party replied with one sentence. "Well done, keep working hard..."

Receiving the reply, a bright smile appeared on the Little Jellyfish's face. She didn't expect that a whim would have such a good effect.

However, all this was thanks to the help of her idol. If he hadn't contacted Liyue to send supplies, it wouldn't have been so simple for her to end it perfectly.

For the next two days, Su Han was handling official business. In his spare time, he accompanied Ningguang and the others to enjoy Inazuma's delicacies.

It is worth mentioning that the cultivation techniques brought by Kamisato Ayaka were very important to Su Han. Especially the alchemy method inside; this was something he had been waiting for for a long time.

With this knowledge, he could refine the Dragon Pearl into pills.

Previously, to save Rosalyne, one-tenth of the Dragon Pearl was used. But there was still a lot left.

Basically, after handling official business every day, Su Han would go into a room alone to refine pills. Until late at night, when he returned to the Shogun's bedroom to sleep.

As for other techniques, Su Han also made a detailed classification.

There were sealing spells. Sword techniques similar to the Myriad Sword Technique. Techniques for making talismans.

In short, Xu Changqing gave a lot of things this time. It could be considered diverse.

On the other hand, the techniques from Zixuan were a bit regrettable. Humans couldn't cultivate them at all.

However, a "non-human" like Yae Miko fit perfectly.

During the time he was busy, the sly fox's strength broke through again, growing from nine tails to eleven tails. At the same time, her pink fur was also evolving towards white.

Foxes respected the number of tails. The more tails, the stronger the power.

And the same was true for fur. White-furred foxes were the strongest.

The Kitsune Saiguu was like this back then!

A few hours before the mission refreshed, Su Han was trying to refine pills, but suddenly a violent explosion occurred. Not only did the pill furnace shatter all over the floor, but it almost poked a hole in Tenshukaku.

Swish.

A bolt of lightning lit up.

The Raiden Shogun appeared in front of him. Looking at the fragments all over the floor, she asked in surprise, "Are you doing some experiment? Did something explode..."

"Sigh... I originally wanted to refine pills, and I was familiar with the technique, but unfortunately... when refining the Dragon Pearl pill, the furnace exploded... If I'm not mistaken, the furnace couldn't withstand the power inside."

Su Han looked helpless. He hadn't expected the Dragon Pearl to be so domineering.

The Raiden Shogun asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hmm... does your Inazuma have something very hard, that is difficult to destroy, can transmit temperature, and can also be used to refine things? Even ore is fine..."

"Hearing you say that, I remember something... not only does it meet your requirements, but it is also very strong."

"What?"

"The Mikage Furnace!"

The Raiden Shogun spat out three words.

That was something that could even forge ores infused with Archon power. Refining small pills would be simple.

"But wasn't the Mikage Furnace destroyed by you?"

"Mm, but there are still fragments! Maybe we can find them..."

"Then what are we waiting for? Take me to find them!"
