Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

However, just as Qi Qi was about to give Mora to Fang Xun, she suddenly withdrew her hand.

Fang Xun thought Qi Qi had realized it was a trick, but to his surprise, the next second, Qi Qi handed the small purse to Fang Xun.

"Fang Xun... Qiqi is giving you this little purse..."

"Hurry up...go and pay back the money..."

This adorable little girl doesn't understand any tricks or schemes; she's simply kind-hearted.

When Fang Xun needed Mora, Qi Qi was willing to take out all her savings.

What a silly girl, so silly that no one can bully her.

Chapter 369 Noelle, your sword is broken again?

After buying breakfast, Fang Xun stopped by Wagner's blacksmith shop to check on things, hoping to have Wagner forge a greatsword.

Because of the Wind Flower Festival, many customers have sought out Wagner to forge weapons.

It was barely dawn when the blacksmith shop was already bustling with activity.

Wagner is not a middle-aged man now; he looks like a young and strong man.

He wielded a hammer, hammering away at the red-hot sword blank.

Wagner was incredibly strong; each strike of his hammer sent sparks flying everywhere.

A bead of sweat rolled down Wagner's forehead, making a sizzling sound as it landed on the floor tiles.

The blacksmith's shop was very hot, and waves of heat would frequently hit you.

Fang Xun felt like he was in a steamer, but thankfully there was the cool and refreshing Qi Qi, so it wasn't too uncomfortable.

"Hello, I would like to ask your blacksmith shop to forge a greatsword."

"Here are the design drawings. As long as we can make the sword, the price is negotiable."

Taking advantage of Wagner's completion of forging a weapon, Fang Xun got straight to the point and explained his purpose.

After speaking, Wagner did not immediately agree to the deal. Instead, he picked up Fang Xun's design drawings and examined them carefully.

Wagner was a blacksmith who valued his reputation highly and would only take on orders within his capabilities.

If it's beyond his capabilities, no matter how much Mora the order offers, Wagner won't agree.

This is also why the blacksmith's shop is so successful; they either don't take orders at all, or they make sure the customer is satisfied.

All weapons crafted by Wagner were of superior quality in every aspect.

Of course, this statement doesn't apply to a certain little girl who uses a greatsword.

Wagner had been a blacksmith for many years, but he had a psychological trauma related to a little girl named Noelle.

Because the greatsword he painstakingly forged would break in Noelle's hands within days...

If we disregard Noelle, the weapons Wagner created were still quite good.

Wow...

Wagner lowered his head, carefully reviewing the design drawings provided by Fang Xun.

The first thing that catches the eye is the phrase "When the sound of pine trees rings out," which should be the name of this greatsword.

Next comes the sapphire-like appearance of this greatsword, along with its specific details...

As Wagner perused the book, he initially felt completely calm.

They assumed Fang Xun's order was no different from previous orders.

However, as he continued browsing, Wagner's mindset underwent a subtle change, and he could no longer remain calm.

The weapon design drawings that Fang Xun brought were extremely rigorous and professional from any perspective.

Wagner knew many famous weapons designers in Mondstadt, and they often did business together.

Wagner subconsciously compared the design drawings before him with the works of those masters.

The final conclusion is that

Fang Xun's design doesn't resemble forging a weapon; it's more like creating a world-renowned work of art.

This was the first time Wagner had ever seen such design drawings, and he was filled with immense excitement.

To the untrained eye, this might just be a blank sheet of paper.

Only those in the know understand how invaluable this design is.

Forging this greatsword would be something to boast about for a lifetime.

Time passed slowly, and Wagner examined each design drawing very carefully.

In fact, several details require repeated viewings to fully grasp their subtleties.

During this process, Fang Xun did not rush him; he knew this was a sign of Wagner's conscientiousness and responsibility.

"This design is perfect, without any flaws, but there's a very serious problem..."

Wagner put down the design drawings and shared his opinion.

“To create ‘When the Pine Trees Resound,’ ordinary sword blanks are definitely not enough; the finest two-handed sword blanks must be used.”

"Our shop doesn't have that kind of item, and you probably can't find top-quality two-handed sword blanks even in Mondstadt, it's a pity..."

Wagner shook his head, preparing to reject Fang Xun's order.

To create 'When the Pine Trees Resound', both the design blueprints and a top-quality two-handed sword prototype are indispensable.

Such stringent conditions are currently unattainable by anyone in Mondstadt.

After all, it's a five-star level weapon. If it were easy to achieve, wouldn't it be commonplace?

However, before Wagner could finish speaking, Fang Xun said first, "Don't worry about the prototype, I've already made preparations in advance."

As he spoke, Fang Xun placed the prototype of the two-handed sword on the table.

This two-handed sword prototype was obtained by Fang Xun through the parametric quality change instrument, so its quality is naturally the best.

Wagner paused for a moment, then quickly took the two-handed sword prototype to examine it.

The main way to judge the quality of raw embryos is by looking at the content of impurities they contain.

The fewer impurities, the higher the quality of the embryo.

The two-handed sword blank that Xia Xun was preparing showed no impurities whatsoever, making it more than enough to forge the sword that would sound like a pine tree in the wind.

Looking at the design drawings and the prototype of the two-handed sword, Wagner nodded emphatically: "Sir, our blacksmith shop will accept your order."

Fang Xun continued, "How long will it take to build?"

Wagner thought for a moment and gave his answer: "Probably three days later, on the day of the Wind Flower Festival."

Due to the large number of orders at the blacksmith's shop, and the high difficulty of forging 'When the Pine Trees Ring Out,' it will take even longer.

Three days is the fastest possible time.

Fang Xun nodded and paid a deposit.

Just as he was about to leave with Qiqi, he suddenly stopped.

Fang Xun saw a little girl holding a greatsword broken in two with both hands, running hurriedly towards Wagner's blacksmith shop.

The girl had neat, short hair and a pair of large, bright eyes that blinked rapidly, as clear and bright as autumn water.

There were many pedestrians on the road, and the girl would softly apologize as she passed by them.

The heat from the blacksmith's shop hit her face, making her cheeks blush slightly, like a rosy sunset in the sky.

However, the girl didn't care about any of that. She seemed more concerned about the broken greatsword in her hand than the high temperature in the blacksmith's shop.

Seeing the girl arrive, Wagner's eyelids twitched: "Noelle, your sword broke again??"

Chapter 370 How much strength can such an adorable little kid have?

Looking at the greatsword broken in two, then at Noelle, the blacksmith Wagner let out a helpless sigh.

This is Noelle's tenth greatsword to have broken.

Any greatsword, regardless of its design, will break within a day of falling into Noelle's hands; without exception.

These greatswords work perfectly well in other people's hands, so why do they seem like paper in Noelle's hands?

Why is that?

Wagner smoked all night but still couldn't figure it out.

Nowadays, whenever Noelle is seen at the blacksmith's shop with a broken sword,

Wagner would begin to doubt his forging skills and at one point even considered quitting his job as a blacksmith to work in a factory making screws.

At this moment, Wagner stroked his chin and asked, "Noelle, how did your greatsword break this time?"

Little Noelle lowered her head and answered timidly, "This morning I took my greatsword to mine outside the city, and then it chipped..."

This answer would stump Wagner.

Mining alone caused the greatsword to break?

It shouldn't be,

Many Knights of Favonius have bought weapons from Wagner to mine, and so far, no one's greatsword has ever broken.

After pondering for a long time, Wagner offered his analysis: "Noelle, it must be that your swordsmanship is incorrect, which caused the greatsword to chip."

"If you use it incorrectly, even the best greatsword won't withstand the test. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Noelle shook her head repeatedly, looking aggrieved: "I've been careful about how I use the sword while mining, just in case the greatsword breaks again..."

"But the sword still broke..."

For a moment, Wagner was speechless, unsure of what to say.

If it wasn't a problem with Noelle's swordsmanship, what could have caused the greatsword to break?

"I suspect that the greatsword itself is not strong enough to withstand Noelle's power."
