Zhuo Ye said, "If you can really help my people, then I will join."

"Okay, let's discuss this without further delay."

Arata Ichito asked, "First of all, roughly how many people are there in your tribe?"

Zhuo Ye answered truthfully, "There are the elders in the tribe, a few underage children, and young and middle-aged people with illnesses, a total of about 50 people."

Arata Ichito was a little speechless, "Well, to be honest, your number is a little beyond my expectation..."

Zhuo also scratched his head, "Too little?"

Arata Ichito shook his head, "It's a bit too much..."

"Zhuo Ye, you should know that the scale of monsters nowadays is not as large as before. Take Tengu for example. Five hundred years ago, he could even gather a main force of more than a hundred people. But what about now? If he could gather ten people, it would be a great honor for his ancestors. Nine Saras are the only ones to fight. Even if Tengu's ancestors were resurrected, who could he go to for justice?"

...............

The inner world...

Sasayuri's smile froze on her face. Miyu Chiyo patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't blame yourself. The decline of the Tengu clan is not your fault."

Sasalis had a strange expression on her face. Why did these words sound so familiar?

Oh, this is what he and Hanasari said to comfort each other before...

I was just comforting the other person, but in less than three minutes, he responded with the same words.

This feeling is really...

Sasayuri's heart was beating fast as she watched Ichito Arataki talking outside.

Lies are not sharp swords, truth is sharp.

If Ara Taki Ichito was just talking nonsense, Yuri Sasa wouldn't be upset.

But the problem is...what Aratake Ichito said now is true!

When someone has to start over in a game because of a momentary change of mind, their mentality is a bit unbearable, let alone the group of Sasayuri.

Before, Sasakura Anne had never seen a single Tengu, so she could still deceive herself or ignore it, but now Arotaki Ikto actually made the matter clear.

Sasayuri couldn't hold it in any longer and he even wanted to rush out and beat the other person up.

What about you M?

Why are you targeting my Tengu clan?

Isn't it okay to be a demon fox? Isn't it okay to be a demon fox?

Are you sick?

Thinking of this, Sasayuri frowned and looked indignant.

...............

Arotaki Ichito didn't know what Sasayuri was thinking, and was still discussing it with Takuya.

"To be honest, I admire you for being able to keep 50 people alive in this kind of place."

Arata Ichito said with admiration, "This land polluted by the remains of the demon god, let alone ordinary people, even if it's me, if I live here for a year or two, I'm probably going to get rheumatism, shortness of breath, cold legs, stroke, cerebral palsy, and you still have 50 left, your vitality is really strong."

Zhuo Ye said expressionlessly, "For a moment I couldn't tell whether you were praising us or insulting us."

"Don't worry about the details. Now let's talk about how to help you, Aoki."

Aratake Ichito suggested, "For your situation, I only have one solution, migration..."

Zhuo Ye asked in confusion, "Migration?"

Arata Ichito didn't care. "If you think this word is unpleasant, you can change it to moving or strategic transfer. Anyway, if you want to live, you must abandon this broken place. Here, you are lucky to survive one more day. You live in a place that even the Fatui dare not set foot in. If you don't die, who will die?"

Zhuo Ye was in a dilemma. "Then how should we migrate? Here we still have a piece of land to guarantee our food, but if we go to other places, how can we guarantee our lives and safety? Moreover, most of the people in the tribe are old and children, and the young and middle-aged are all bedridden. After walking all the way, many people will definitely die..."

"But you must go."

Arata Ichito replied, "If you don't leave, you can only wait to die here, and none of you will survive."

After saying that, Aratake Ichito continued to add,

"And as for the location of migration, I have two locations..."

Arata Ichito raised a finger, "First, it's Kaijima. This is the only place in Inazuma that can take you in. As far as I know, the person in power is a priestess named Coral Palace Xinhai. She is a very people-friendly leader and will most likely take you in, but..."

Changing the subject, Arata Ichito said helplessly, "You guys may be living in a difficult situation. Do you know why?"

Zhuo was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Arata Ichito chuckled, "Of course it's because they can't survive any longer."

"The atmosphere of war is getting stronger and stronger. I believe that during this period of time, the Coral Palace Heart Sea will declare war and resist the Eye Hunting Order and the National Closure Order."

"Wait, is there a connection between the two?"

In response to Zhuo Ye's question, Ara Taki Ichito continued to explain, "Of course it is related, because the land of Kaiji Island is also extremely poor. Although Kaiji Island is rich in pearls, they can only be sold to the nobles of Inazuma, and cannot benefit the lower-class masses, and cannot provide enough economic support for the people of Kaiji Island."

"The reason why Haiji Island has survived to this day is, firstly, thanks to the caravans that traveled to Liyue or Mondstadt and the Inazuma nobles selling their precious goods, and secondly, thanks to the annual aid from Mingjin Island, which is the so-called unilateral poverty alleviation."

"But now, due to the issuance of the Eye Hunting Order and the Closure Order, caravans cannot enter Inazuma's territory, and Kaiji Island cannot sell goods. In addition, the Kanto Bugyo has been obstructing it in recent years, and the funds for rescuing Kaiji Island are getting less and less every year. Now, the rescue funds are already a drop in the bucket for Kaiji Island."

"Even if Haizhi Island wants to become self-sufficient by transforming the land, it is completely a pipe dream. The annual funds they use to maintain Haizhi Island are a bit of a stretch. Where will the funds come from to do such a thing? Without sufficient funds, corresponding talents, and lasting patience, how can it be done? You can't expect General Lei Dian to heal the land with a lightning strike."

"So you know why Xinhai of the Coral Palace wants to declare war. It's not that she wants to fight, but she has to fight. The national isolation order is no longer just a decree. For Haizhi Island, it is a death warrant. They are digging up the roots of Haizhi Island and want Haizhi Island's life."

"Before long, the economic chain of Haizhi Island will be on the verge of collapse at any time. During the battle, if Haizhi Island cannot obtain victory in a short period of time, morale will inevitably fall into a slump. At that time, everyone will be in danger and their own food will be more important than their own lives."

"That's why I said that if you go there, your life will be a little tight. After all, it's hard to feed dozens of mouths for no reason."
