The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 40: The Boss is Dead

Diluk took the family crest in his hand and rubbed the emblem on his training uniform.

"It is indeed the family crest of my Leggenfend family. Is it left by other family members?"

“Forget it, let’s not think about it. Let’s finish our practice and go to bed early.” Diluk put away the badge, placed it together with his Eye of God, then picked up the greatsword and started training.

Diluk is indeed very talented. He has a heavy sword, or a training sword that looks like a door panel. Other untrained people have to take a break after swinging it dozens of times.

But as a teenager, Diluk could swing the huge training sword nearly a hundred times in a short period of time, and only needed a short rest before he could swing it again.

"What a talent, isn't it?" said Fugate, holding the grape juice.

"He is indeed very talented, much better than Lefen was back then." Hetala also picked up the grape juice and said.

Lefen is Hetala's husband, and his full name is Sleifen Legenfind.

A former legendary knight of Mondstadt (LV75+).

Well~ In Fuget's eyes, she is just a gigolo. If it weren't for Hetala's help back then, she wouldn't have been able to learn the Blood Moon Breathing Technique, several brain development potions, and undergo brain development treatments.

This guy's life is at most LV50+.

After all, without the Eye of God, the breakthrough is too slow, and mortals have their limits after all.

Slifen was killed by the dragon during the expedition, but he avenged himself. At the last moment, he used his sword energy to cut off the dragon's head.

All I can say is that it is worthy of Mondstadt, with its tradition of dragon disasters.

The two were not far away from Diluk who was training, but Diluk seemed unable to see the two people who were drinking grape juice.

"The perfect sword technique is not suitable for him." Fuget observed for a while and said, "You may need to create a sword technique that suits him."

"Hmm~" Hetala nodded, "This isn't a difficult thing."

After marrying Slifen, Hetala also learned the swordsmanship passed down by the Leggenfind family.

"It seems that the family swordsmanship of the Leggenfend family has been lost now." Hetala said with emotion, "It seems that the Leggenfend family has not been doing well in recent years."

"Although it is already a leading company in the business, it is only limited to business," said Fugate.

In the world of Teyvat, although business is also very important, the world of Teyvat is ultimately a world of "high magic". Compared to money, military force is more important.

When Baanka, the apprentice of Fuget, became the richest man in Xumi through business, he faced an extremely serious situation.

If he himself was not an extremely powerful original god, he would not have been able to maintain his position as the richest man in Xumi.

There was even a time when Baanka was assassinated several times by LV60+ assassins because he retaliated against other businessmen and chambers of commerce who did not play by the rules. Many of the thirty-man team guarding him died.

Although the assassin was solved in the end, Baanka had to give up expanding his business. Then, under the guidance of Fuget, he started to do charity and attracted many powerful people in the Gilded Brigade in the name of charity.

In this way, Baanka could spend his later years in peace and contentment, although he still died in the forest king's maze in the end.

"Then you can have fun with your younger generations. I'm going to bed first." said Fuget.

"Teacher, you have become more like a human being." Hetala sighed, and then she disappeared.

Her body is a projection created with psychic energy, anchored on the family crest that Diluk picked up.

Only one sentence was left.

"Come to think of it, the divination showed that there were still people from the Lowefat family, but why can't we find them in Mondstadt?"

On the other side, Diluk finally finished his extra training.

I went back to the dormitory and went to sleep.

Diluk seemed to hear a chuckle in his sleep, and then he appeared under a green shade.

A girl? appeared in front of Diluk, then the girl? said something about basic swordsmanship, and then slashed at Diluk with a two-handed sword.

Diluk didn't know when a big sword appeared in his hand.

Then Diluk wielded his greatsword to resist.

But his swordsmanship is obviously much worse than that of the girl?

The "Wind Swordsmanship" girl continued, and then she slashed out with a sword wind, and Diluk didn't know how he held on.

"Loefat, Noble, Wind Swordsmanship" girl? She continued.

Then the girl's greatsword seemed to be used as a one-handed sword, this time it was a quick attack, and it became more difficult for Diluk to parry.

Finally, the girl? left a sentence: "The foundation is too poor." Then the girl? disappeared.

When Diluk woke up the next morning, he found himself covered in cold sweat.

"Oh my god, how could I have such a dream?" Diluk complained.

“But…” Diluk recalled the many sword skills he had learned in his dreams, and those sword skills became clearer and clearer.

"What are the three types of swordsmanship, Basic Swordsmanship, and Lowfart Noble Wind Swordsmanship? Who is that girl? I seem to have seen her somewhere before."

After finishing the next day's work, Diluk fell asleep again.

He followed the guidance of the light and met the girl again. This time, the girl seemed disappointed with his talent, so she began to teach him something else.

"What is this, alchemy?" Diluk said uncomfortably, covering his head.

"That's a lot of ingredients. This is just a potion? [Fuget's Advanced Concentration Potion]? Permanently improves a person's concentration? Is there really such a thing?"

"Hmm! My head hurts even more."

Over the next few months, Diluk would see the girl in his dreams every one or two weeks.

The girl seemed to be very distressed by Diluk's lack of understanding.

Xumi, in the six-story manor.

"Oh~ Really, I should have thought of the consequences of marrying into a knight family. It would turn my offspring into savage gorillas. That guy has good physical talents, but his psychic talents are really not good." Hetala snatched the milk tea from Xia Mian and couldn't help but say.

Xia Mian didn't get angry and asked robot 233 to make him another cup.

Thanks to the machine soul, even after five hundred years, robot 233 is still as clean as new.

"Come to think of it, is it okay for you to come out like this?" Xia Mian said.

"It's okay. I have had a possession since His Majesty the Tree King moved in. Even if I don't enter the Tree King's divine domain, I can still obtain the power to support my free movements." Hetala said.

"That's great. I didn't expect that we could all get together hundreds of years later."

"Come to think of it, you and your mentor are in a better situation. You're still alive and well now." Hetala said with emotion.

"After all, the technology is not very mature. I was able to successfully transform it thanks to my being a Tinare." Xiamian said, "I also inherited the power of Hermanubis from the Tinare."

In the dark disaster, many Tinar people and warriors of the Temple of Silence merged with the power of Hermanubis, and much of the power of Hermanubis disappeared in the dark tide of beasts.

According to what Xiamian had learned, even in the Temple of Silence, only one or two of the relatively complete powers of Hermanubis remained.

Anyway, there are not many of them, and the Tinale people are even more miserable.

When Xiamian went to meet the patriarch of this generation of the Tinale people, he learned that the Tinale people no longer had the power of Hermanubis passed down to this generation.

In the end, it was Xiamian who condensed a portion of the power of Hermanubis and sent it to the Tinare people, which prevented the inheritance of the power of Hermanubis among the Tinare people.

Well~Xamien can condense a complete essence of the power of Hermanubis every hundred years.

Shamian himself also developed technology that could recreate the essence into the power of Hermanubis.

"Didn't the mentor go back to Xumi some time ago? Why didn't anyone stop by?"

"That guy... took the phonograph and some vinyl records and ran away."

At this point, even Xia Mian couldn't help but hold her forehead. The current Fuget is very different from the serious and solemn mentor/husband they remembered, who was either studying or doing experiments. You know, when Fuget was old and traveled around several countries, he never put down his books and never forgot to study and research when traveling.

It’s nothing like now, when he was like a playful naughty boy. It doesn’t seem right to say that. Most of the time, he was more like a salted fish, only becoming lively occasionally.

"It seems that the mentor caused quite a bit of trouble in Liyue, otherwise he wouldn't have returned to Xumi so soon." Hetala's astrology skills were at the highest level, and since Fuget didn't deliberately cover up anything, she could clearly calculate what Fuget had done.

"That guy... I really don't know what to say." Xia Mian shook his head.

It was dark in a short while.

"I'm going to teach the younger generation of the family. You can go and do your business, Xia Mian." After Hetala disappeared, Xia Mian was left alone in the six-story manor.

Let’s go back to a month ago. At that time, Fugate, who was not in a hurry to take up the office, was still touring Liyue Harbor.

As a result, I happened to meet an old friend whom I had met more than 600 years ago.

"Sir, have we met somewhere before?" asked the confused Coconut Sheep, no, Ganyu.

"My sincerest regards, Miss Ganyu. I am Fuget. If there is nothing wrong, we should have met each other more than 660 years ago." Fuget said
The orderly had a headache and the boss seemed to be having another attack.

"Oh~ I seem to have some impression of you." Ganyu finally remembered something. "Are you the alchemist master?"

"That's right." Fugate nodded with a smile. "You have a very good eye. I was not as young as I am now."

When we first met, Fugate was already very old.

"I can still see some of it, and you seem to have grown a lot taller." Ganyu said.

Then the two of them started chatting.

The orderly was bewildered, as were the secretaries of Yue Haiting behind Ganyu. Then the orderly felt that things were getting serious, and urgently notified the Fatui Company under the command of the executive officer 'Rich Man' who were carrying out some plans.

And then nothing happened. After Fugate's information was leaked, he himself didn't care much, but many of Liyue's wealthy merchants and warlock families were almost crazy about wanting to live forever.

The fools who ran the Northland Bank held their noses and quickly sent this plague god away.

Later, those warlock families and so on did send people to attack the Fatui fleet that was escorting Fuget, but they were then easily dealt with by the Fatui that were escorting Fuget.

It’s not that these people are mediocre, but the main thing is that these fools are extremely unreasonable under the blessing of Fugate’s Six Water Magic.

Fuget's Six Water Magic can almost permanently bless thirty-six people. During the period of being blessed by Fuget, these thirty-six people can completely ignore the side effects brought by the evil eye. After their strength explodes, they are almost equivalent to thirty-six original gods.

And most importantly, the Six Water Magic can also put the opponent in a negative state. When the real fight comes, with the addition and subtraction, those people will die very quickly.

All I can say is that it was extremely brutal.

These simple-minded soldiers immediately surrounded Colonel Fuget.

These warriors are not debt handlers. Due to the special nature of their work (agents), the evil eyes that debt handlers possess are of a higher level and the backlash to the body is much smaller.

The evil eyes wielded by these warriors consume a lot of vitality, but their vitality consumption is slightly better than that of the evil spirit weapon users of the Gilded Brigade.

But it wasn't much better. With Fuget's power, they were able to use the evil eye without damage, which was enough to make them love Fuget.

Then they quickly sent Fuget back to Xumi.

In fact, Fuget has always wanted to say that there is no need to be so anxious, but unfortunately these guys really don't listen at all...
······
Fugate is in a boat, currently on his way to Hearth House.

The Hearth House is a courtyard located deep in the mountains of the Lifei District. It is managed by the current [Servant] Kugavina, and Fugate does not know much about this person.

I just know that this guy's reputation is somewhat polarized.

But this is not Fgate's business. He chose Hearth House mainly because it is very close to Xumi.

As for why he did not choose the Fatui branch in Xumi, it was naturally because the executives did not trust him.

Among the other options given, Hearth House was the one that best met Fugate's requirements.

More importantly, Hearth House is a subordinate organization of the Fatui, not the Fatui itself, so it is relatively more independent.

As soon as he joined, he became the second-in-command, and had the power to control the number one person [servant] Kugavina.

Emmm, it can be said to be extremely amazing.

However, this naturally has certain disadvantages. For example, as soon as Fugate arrived in Fontaine, he was blocked by people sent by Kugavina.

He was directly invited to go to the Hearth House. Originally, Fugate was thinking of going to Fontaine City to eat and drink before going to the Hearth House.

The plan was interrupted immediately.

"What a troublesome guy." Fuget was a little unhappy with his servant Kugavina.

The several weeks of travel were over quickly.

One night, when Fugate had just turned overland, the orderly said, "Sir, we can already see the Hearth House from here."

"Hmm~ Is it over there?" Fuget said, touching his chin and pointing in a direction.

The orderly was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems to be over there."

"Then let's continue to dawdle for a few days."

Fuget could sense that two powerful auras were fighting there.

"Did Kugavina fight with the Fontaine people? It doesn't seem like they have the aura of the Fontaine people." Fuget muttered a few words and didn't pay any more attention.

In the second half of the night, Fuget was stunned.

"Has the winner been decided? It seems that Kugavina's aura is gone. Is this guy so lame?" Fuget couldn't help but complain.

Then Fuget went to sleep. An unknown colleague and superior did not attach as much importance to sleep as Fuget.

After all, Fgate only began to enjoy sleep, the ultimate enjoyment of relaxation, after his resurrection. He had no time to allocate to sleep before his death.

The period from death to resurrection is not considered sleeping. That state is even more awake than when one has a physical body.

However, Fugate was a little hesitant about whether he should continue in office.

After all, the top leader seemed to be dead, and it would seem awkward for me, the second-in-command, to go there. Moreover, given the intensity of the battle, I would definitely be beaten if I went there myself.

No matter how weak the Fatui's executive officer is, he will have a strength of LV80+, and can beat a man of this strength to his knees. Wouldn't it be terrible if I met him?

But what cannot be avoided cannot be avoided.

After three days of procrastination, I still haven't arrived at the Hearth House.

"Colonel [Fuzhu], this is the order from the [General Officer]." A debt handler handed a roll of parchment to Fugate.

"Really?" Fugate shook his head and took the order. "This time there's no way to avoid it."

[It is known that the former 'servant' Kugavina was killed by the adopted child of Hearth House, Peruvili. Now please ask Colonel 'Fuzhu' to go to 'Hearth House' to arrest 'Peruvili']

"Well, I'll just put on a show when the time comes." Fugate muttered.

"Boss, it's not nice to say that." The orderly couldn't help but interrupt, after all, the person hadn't left yet.

Along the way, the orderly was completely won over by Forget. Although he did not become a die-hard fan, he had a general level of loyalty.

"It's okay. They'll know once they know." Fuget said sadly. "Anyway, I can't defeat an enemy of the executive officer's level. I can only be an instructor and help the gangsters."

Having said that, Fugate didn't waste any more time.

He turned into a stream of steam and quickly headed towards the Fireplace House.

"Wow~ It really is a scene of ruins." Fuget saw the huge ruins and felt a little unbelievable. The battle scene was a bit too exaggerated.

Well~ After all, as far as Fugate knew, Hearth House was a vast courtyard, which not only had dozens of training grounds, a large number of dormitories, but also warehouses, gardens, and so on.

Especially at the Hearth House headquarters, there are additional guards, instructors, and servants.
