I'm so, so depressed!
Fang Yun was a little nervous, Meiyi, is that you?
It’s no wonder that after being nurtured by him, Lei Dianying’s original aloof and queen-like temperament has indeed changed, and she has become more charming like a young woman.
Coupled with that married woman's face, she now looked much gentler than before.
People like Yingmei, who have never had much contact with her, still think that Ying is a gold medal chef.
"What's with that expression? Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I would forge a magical weapon for you." Ying Xiu raised her eyebrows, feeling that this brat Fang Yun was criticizing her again.
Really, isn't it just that she can't cook? Is it necessary to target her like this?
If you say a few more words to her and make her angry, don't blame her for getting angry.
I'll go into the kitchen and give you a full meal!
Fang Yun and Ying had a perfect tacit understanding. After being glared at by Ying, he immediately came to his senses: "No, I was wrong."
Sister Ying, I don’t want to die.
When Dan Ying mentioned forging a divine weapon, Fang Yun also remembered it and asked curiously, "But I remember you said at the time that it would be troublesome to forge a divine weapon that would suit me, right?"
Divine weapons are actually not uncommon in Teyvat. Most five-star weapons can be related to gods, but when it comes to power and degree of compatibility, it depends on their respective positioning.
Take the artifact in Fang Yun's hand for example. The Rock Green is made of jade. According to the background story, it was originally a gift that Zhongli intended to give to an old friend. It was not a special killing weapon.
The Red King's artifact, which was formed by the fusion of the Red Sand Staff and the Key of Divine Manifestation, was not used for fighting. It was the Red King's attempt to simulate the principle of Phanes' creation of the world in order to create a golden dreamland. It was more of a symbol of power.
What Ying wanted to forge for Fang Yun was a weapon related to the element of thunder and specifically designed for combat. This kind of customization would naturally take a lot of time.
"The past is the past, and the present is the present." Ying shook his head slightly.
As she spoke, she waved to Fang Yun and Hu Zhaigong, motioning them to come forward.
Fang Yun came to her side and found that in addition to the various ores collected by Ying and precious materials for forging knives, the workshop in front of him also had many works that Ying had completed before.
After all, Inazuma's sword-forging skills, like her sword techniques, all originated from the god Kage. In addition to practicing martial arts, her biggest hobby in the past was sword-forging. All Inazuma samurai considered it a supreme honor to be able to obtain the imperial weapons.
"Mist Cutting Return of Light, Flying Thunder String Vibration..." Fang Yun's eyes swept over the two familiar weapons.
The authentic versions of these two weapons were bestowed more than 500 years ago, and what remains now are the "shadow strikes" left behind when Ying forged them.
Noticing Fang Yun's gaze, Ying introduced: "Usually, I will keep a Yingda sword as a backup and record the sword manual. If it can be simplified, I will give it to the Thunder Five Transmissions to try to forge it."
Fang Yun nodded slightly. This was actually adding to Inazuma's background.
The significance of the demon god to a country is not just military force. The power and knowledge system it possesses can be transformed into real national strength. The same is true for Liyue's final chance.
"It's a pity that the Thunder Five Transmissions suffered heavy losses. Although the Tianmu Style has solid skills, it also lacks some of the wild inspiration." Ying shook his head gently, "Since you are here, I will also tell you about my next plan."
She looked at Fang Yun first: "I had some inspiration for the casting of the Seven Sin Purifying Thunders when I was in Fontaine. After all, you have a lot of power. The weapon not only needs to have strong destructive power, but also needs to cooperate with you in various environments. Therefore, it is best to have the ability to change form."
Hey, this sounds more and more like it.
But looking at the scientist temperament revealed by Lei Dianying at this time, Fang Yun felt that there was nothing wrong with her leading the development of the "Key of God".
Ying continued, "I have basically prepared the materials for casting. Generally speaking, there won't be any problems. But as for the Five Legends of Thunder and Lightning, how do you think we should rebuild their heritage?"
"Wait, when did you prepare the materials?" Fang Yun was a little confused. After leaving Inazuma, he and Ying basically stayed together, but he didn't see Ying get any materials for forging the sword.
Moreover, the Seven Thunders of Purification are much more difficult to deal with than Mist Cutting and Flying Thunder. If you want to help the opponent Yun, the materials must at least be related to the Demon God.
Hu Zhaigong had been with the Leidian sisters for a long time and was very familiar with Ying's decisive personality. He had already guessed, "Ying, you're not saying... you're going to use the resentment of the thunderbirds on Qinglai Island as the main material?"
"Yes, his situation is somewhat special. He is not a demon god, but he is an elemental creature comparable to a demon god, just like a dragon. After death, he will lose control of his power and pollute the surrounding environment like a demon god. I set up a seal to suppress him on Qinglai Island just like when I killed Orobas."
"Although the seal has been destroyed, the core power of the Thunderbird still exists on Qinglai Island. If we use it as a guide and manipulate it a little, we can absorb the authority that has turned into resentment and use it as the core of the Seven Thunders of Purification."
"I'm making a low-profile version to try it out."
Fang Yun understood. Charge the Conquest Gem and make it the true core of the Herrscher, right?
Of course, this is just a joke. Yinghui chose the power of the thunderbird as the material, firstly because this pure elemental force can change its form freely, and secondly, it can solve the pollution of Qinglai Island and make it a habitable land again.
"When we were in Fontaine, you mentioned that you wanted to solve the problem of Qinglai Island after you came back. I originally wanted to let Ying take action, but I didn't expect that you had already thought about it." Fang Yun was quite moved that Ying was so smart.
Ying gave him a proud look that said "your master is still your master" and snorted, "Who told you to always look down on me?"
She is smart!
Fang Yun always thought she was stupid and didn't think about how many times Fang Yun had fallen into her hands.
Even without this general, I can still capture Fang Yun!
In the pure land of one mind, the general snorted coldly and said nothing.
Ying is always so unruly along the way, but in the end he still has to say "Please, other me", right?
“But this matter can indeed make Ying take action. An enemy like Thunderbird was no match for you and me even in its prime, not to mention the resentment we have now. There is really no point in fighting.” Ying had a good impression of Ying. Although he had only met her a few times in Liyue, her compatibility was much better than that of Apep, the stubborn but stubborn one.
Respond to me, sister!
Fang Yun thought about it and felt that it was a good idea. He was just planning to teach Yingmei the sealing skills and the techniques of using elemental forces, so he could use this actual combat opportunity to hone her skills.
After all, even if Fang Yun didn't strengthen her, Ying Mei of the three elements could beat the lady, and her strength was already very strong. How could ordinary people be her opponent? She could only be arranged to play in high-end games to train.
Kitsusai Palace thought more: "Since we have to deal with the problem of Qinglai Island, it is not enough to just solve the resentment of the thunderbird. We can summon the soldiers of the shogunate army to go together and sweep the monsters on Qinglai Island. We must also call the people of the community to take charge of the subsequent construction and farming."
She has always attached great importance to the construction of Qinglai Island, and Husai Palace had specifically mentioned this matter long before Fang Yun and Ying left Inazuma.
There is no way. Inazuma is an island country and has a natural disadvantage in terms of arable land area. It has been very sad to lose the output of Qinglai Island in the past five hundred years. Now that Inazuma needs to develop again, it is natural that the problem must be solved as soon as possible.
Ying nodded, then looked at Fang Yun: "Do you have any ideas?"
"Huzhai Palace has considered everything very carefully, so let her take charge." Fang Yun also had no objection. He absolutely trusted Huzhai Palace.
Feeling the trust in his words, Kitsusaigong didn't show any emotion. Given their relationship, it seemed strange. She just joked, "I used to worry that we would clash over policies. I didn't expect that you and Zhen would both be hands-off managers."
"What? Is it not enough to trust you? Do you want to say something like [Fang Yun, you will regret it] and then slam the door and leave?" Fang Yun complained.
However, considering that the current [Root Organization] is controlled by the Eightfold Divine Son, even if Kitsusai Palace said so, his bloodline is not pure enough.
"With that being said, how could I slam the door and leave?" Hu Zhaigong shook her head. No matter whether she was Fang Yun's subject or concubine, she could not slam the door.
and many more.
Why did she imagine herself becoming Fang Yun's concubine?
She still didn't want to lie down. If she fell, then no one would have to discuss government affairs in the main hall of the castle tower anymore, and they could just connect online in the bedroom (typo).
What a shame!
The traditional fox fairy Hu Zhaigong could not accept this way of working, just as she was unwilling to accept the new cigarettes Fang Yun wanted to give her.
She is a member of the Yangwu faction!
Ying didn't know that Kitsuzai Palace was studying Ying Pa's opponent. After seeing that both of them agreed, she continued, "In fact, in my conception, the authority of a thunderbird alone is not enough. If there is a chance, we can continue to improve it later."
"How do you want to improve it?"
"There are many ways to improve it. When my strength goes further, perhaps I can try to go beyond the limitations of the throne, separate the power of thunder that my sister gave you, and integrate it into the weapon, so that it can surpass the original limitations." Ying sounded much more excited when talking about his area of expertise.
As for stripping Fang Yun of his power of thunder, this is not a bad thing. After all, Fang Yun now possesses the divinity of the World Tree and the divinity of the God of Thunder. With his current strength close to that of a top demon god, the incomplete power of thunder can no longer play any role. It is better to use it to strengthen Fang Yun's weapons.
Even if the situation changes and Fang Yun needs to demonstrate the realm of "half Nibelung", he can just use the energy of the Sword of Justice to imagine it.
Fang Yun had no objection to this, but Ying's statement made him complain... Ying had even thought of transcending the limit to become the Seven Thunders of Purification, Ming Leijian. If this was really possible, with Ying's realm at that time, he might be able to give him a time-stop effect.
However, he was still very happy when he thought that he could forge and over-limit his weapons without drawing cards or using the guaranteed bonus.
This is the true original god!
"It seems that the trip to Fontaine has really inspired Ying a lot. She has also studied clockwork mechanisms. Perhaps she can put them into practice in the future." Fang Yun thought.
Just as he was thinking this, Ying returned to the topic that had been interrupted just now: "You and Kitsunayori haven't discussed how to re-establish the Five Lightning Transmissions. I intend to improve the blacksmithing skills of Inazuma and let them learn some new techniques."
It is unrealistic to copy Fontaine's clockwork mechanism completely. Even if Yingneng can improve its energy system and no longer rely on Aramaic energy, Inazuma does not have an assembly line factory like Fontaine to produce parts, but Fontaine's technology still has many advantages.
"The biggest problem of the Five Lightning Traditions is the lack of inheritance. Even Kaedehara Manye is not familiar with the many skills of Isshin Chuan." Fang Yun said thoughtfully, "Let's gather the blacksmiths of Inazuma first to see if there is any talent that can be cultivated."
There is no other way. After all, the Five Transmissions of Thunder and Lightning are skills passed down by gods. Not everyone can learn them. Even the most basic Tianmu Style requires an extremely strong mind.
Kitsusai Palace gave Fang Yun an idea: "We can ask the community magistrate to do this. Although the Kamisato family suffered turmoil before, the swordsmiths of Inazuma are still under their jurisdiction."
Fang Yun touched his chin. Both the next action on Qinglai Island and the matter of the swordsmith would require the participation of the community magistrate. In this case, he needed to communicate with Kamisato Ayaka first.
As for the assessment meeting...this kind of large-scale policy is of course discussed in a small meeting in advance, and the general meeting only announces the discussion results of the small meeting.
Small meetings are held for big matters, and big meetings are held for small matters. This has always been the case from ancient times to the present.
However, Fang Yun found that his schedule was quite busy. If he went to see Kamisato Ayaka, he couldn't miss Tengu Kujo Sara. Moreover, he also planned to go to Narukami Taisha to see Kamiko and Hayate.
Especially the Son of God, Fang Yun knew that she was actually waiting for an opportunity to be alone with him.
If she plays duo with Ying... Ying does bully her a bit, and when she's tired, she'll ask Shen Zi to help push her.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Hu Zhaigong and I came to see you for something else." Fang Yun told Ying about the sacred seal.
Ying originally wanted to continue studying the forging of the Seven Thunders of Purification, but she also knew that this involved Fang Yun's future handling of diplomatic affairs, so she stopped temporarily and walked towards the main hall of the castle tower with him and Kitsuneya.
"General!"
"Your Highness Fang Yun!"
"Lord Huzhai Palace!"
The maids along the way bowed respectfully.
At first, Ying still looked like her usual cold and elegant queen, but after noticing the way the maids looked at her and Fang Yun, a slight blush gradually rose on her pretty face.
The general did not hide the fact that he was replenishing the demon that day, and he brought Fang Yun into the bedroom openly.
If her close relationship with Fang Yun was still a matter of speculation before, it is now completely confirmed.
Ying was not actually shy about people knowing about this relationship, but she was just a little embarrassed... The maids all knew that Fang Yun was her disciple, but now her master was being insulted by the rider, which really made her feel ashamed.
Fang Yun rarely saw Ying, the queen-like queen, showing her shy side, and he couldn't help but hold her hand.
"You..." Ying glared at him unhappily, feeling that she had lost face in front of the maid again. Even if they wanted to hold hands, she should be the one to take the initiative.
But since Fang Yun had already held her hand, she had no choice but to hold hands with him and walk into the palace with him shyly.
Fang Yun smiled and walked into the office in the main hall and sat down. Only then did he realize that Hu Zhaigong was following them with a blushing look on his face.
No, why are you blushing?
Fang Yun gave her a speechless look, which made Hu Zhaigong come back to his senses... Perhaps it was because she came to the bedroom to find Fang Yun every day, and the maids seemed to think that she was taken by Fang Yun, which made Hu Zhaigong immersed in the fantasy of becoming a "royal concubine".
But she couldn't help but think like this. Ever since that night when she saw her most familiar Eightfold Divine Son and Yingdu lying in front of Fang Yun, this scene would always appear in Huzai Palace's mind.
No, to be precise, ever since he spied on Fang Yun taking down the Eightfold Divine Child, Hu Zhaigong has had a psychological shadow towards Fang Yun's Judgment-level beast of burden.
With a helpless sigh, Hu Zhaigong entered the Grandmaster realm again, and then took out the documents he had prepared before.
As she had said before, the more difficult aspects of these government affairs were the talisman factory and some diplomatic matters.
The former is mainly about site selection. Taking into account issues such as raw material transportation and guarding, Kitsusai Palace plans to set the location in the shogunate army base in Kujo Jinya, but this requires the expansion of the base.
The latter is the follow-up to some agreements signed with Liyue. Now that Liyue has stabilized the domestic situation after the death of Geo King, it has begun to free up its hands to deal with relations with other countries and plan for the future.
After all, the Golden House has stopped production, and Mora is not only currency, but also an excellent medium for casting spells. It is consumed in large quantities every day. In the short term, it may be able to support it by relying on Liyue’s inventory, but as time goes by, Mora will become less and less, and it will inevitably affect the entire economic system of Teyvat.
Although Liyue has not yet found a way to restore the operation of the Golden House, it cannot respond passively, especially now that Zhidong has seized the opportunity and seems to want to launch a new currency.
For this reason, Ningguang mentioned in the letter that she wanted Fang Yun to host a summit meeting with the current allies. Whether it was to create a new currency or to work together to restore Mora production, it had to be resolved as soon as possible.
There is actually no need to rush this matter. After all, although Zhidong has the ability to launch a new currency, Zhidong has offended many other countries. Even if Fang Yun has not formed an alliance, other countries will not buy into their new currency.
But the decreasing number of Mora would indeed bring a lot of trouble, so Fang Yun thought about it and replied in agreement. It happened that Qin was already on the way to Inazuma, and Xumi and Fontaine Fang Yun could also be notified.
"It's a pity that the meeting is held in Liyue. If it was held in Xumi, it could be named the Teyvat Forest System." Fang Yun complained as usual.
As for the sacred seal used for signing, Ying demonstrated it to Fang Yun and he understood it. It was essentially an application of divine power.
Afterwards, Fang Yun handled the remaining miscellaneous government affairs.
Ying originally wanted to deal with it together with Fang Yun, but after she made several "bold decisions" in succession in the shocked eyes of Hu Zhaigong and Fang Yun, Ying also realized her level of "cooking small fresh food" to govern the country.
But she felt a little embarrassed to be looked at by Fang Yun like that, so she reached out and lifted Fang Yun's chin, hummed in a queen-like tone, "I'll deal with you tonight," and went back to continue studying forging the sword.
Fang Yun smiled and continued to handle government affairs.
He was now familiar with the task and completed the work in no time.
"Secretary Xuan Ying, come here. I want to take her out for an inspection." Fang Yun asked the maid to inform Ying's sister that he wanted to take Ying to see Kamisato Ayaka.
As for the sealing technique that Ying wanted to learn, Fang Yun naturally planned to teach her the Lanaro Chain.
