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

At this moment, Fang Xun, who was standing to the side, gave the answer.

Noelle's backstory details that although she is cute, she is quite strong.

She can lift a bookshelf full of books with one hand, and she can also throw a truck full of goods into the lake.

This explains why the greatsword broke after only a few uses in Noelle's hands.

The reason is that Noelle is too strong; ordinary weapons simply cannot withstand her strength.

"Is Noelle very strong?"

Upon hearing Fang Xun's guess, the blacksmith Wagner paused for a moment.

This was a path he never envisioned.

How strong can a child be?

Especially little Noelle, who looks so cute and adorable.

He doesn't look very strong.

Upon hearing Wagner's question, Noel replied somewhat embarrassedly, "My strength should... should be quite good."

"Now take this greatsword and chop at these wooden stakes with all your might."

As he spoke, Wagner handed a greatsword to Noelle and then pointed to the wooden stake next to him.

To ensure the forged weapons were of good quality, Wagner specifically prepared wooden stakes to test their power.

Wagner now wants to see just how much power Noel possesses.

Noelle nodded slightly, then took the greatsword with both hands and began to chop at the wooden stake with an extremely standard knightly posture.

With a snap, the wooden stake split in two.

Wagner was somewhat surprised to see this.

Because these wooden stakes were custom-made for him, even an adult male might not be able to cut them in one stroke; it requires considerable strength and skill.

This also shows that Noelle's strength is astonishing!

However, Fang Xun did not seem surprised by the result.

He even felt that Noelle was being somewhat conservative, not showing her full power.

Fang Xun then looked at Noelle and said with a light laugh, "Please continue."

Noelle nodded slightly and continued chopping at the remaining wooden stakes.

One by one, the wooden stakes were cleaved in two by Noelle's greatsword; the entire process was swift and decisive, without any hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Wagner opened his mouth in astonishment, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.

Is this really the kind of power a child could possess?

Wagner would never have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

As more and more wooden stakes fell, Noelle's greatsword reached its limit.

With a snap, the greatsword broke in two.

At this moment, Wagner finally believed Fang Xun's guess.

It wasn't that Noelle's swordsmanship was flawed, but rather that this little girl was too strong; ordinary weapons couldn't withstand her power.

Noelle stared blankly at the greatsword broken in two, lost in thought.

She had sensed something was wrong when the greatsword broke its blade before, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Now that Fang Xun had analyzed it this way, Noelle suddenly understood.

It turns out the sword wasn't strong enough to unleash its power...

Thinking of this, Noelle looked up at Fang Xun with curiosity.

I've never seen this older brother in Mondstadt before. Is he here for tourism?

Chapter 371 That guy is none other than the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons!

"Ordinary greatswords simply cannot withstand Noelle's power..."

"If we want Noelle to use a sword properly, the only way is to have one custom-made..."

Wagner stroked his chin, lost in thought.

To solve the problem of weapon chipping, adjustments must be made to the materials used.

But what kind of weapon material can withstand Noelle's power?

Wagner could not provide an answer to this question.

Seeing Wagner's helpless expression, little Noelle looked dejected and fidgeted with the hem of her skirt.

Like Diluc's father, Noelle dreams of becoming a Knight of Favonius.

However, without a suitable weapon, joining the Knights of Favonius would undoubtedly become much more difficult.

Thinking of this, Noelle silently pouted, her eyes filled with sadness, as if her dreams had been shattered.

Fang Xun also noticed Noelle's dejected expression.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "The White Shadow Sword, a famous greatsword in Liyue Harbor."

"The White Shadow Sword has many advantages, one of which is that it is solid and sturdy enough."

"Someone once said that even after the chickens have finished pecking at the rice, the dogs have finished licking the noodles, and the fire has burned through the lock, the White Shadow Sword will not break in two."

"Although it was a joke, it proves that the White Shadow Sword is quite powerful."

"If Noelle's weapon were the White Shadow Sword, perhaps the problem of the broken blade could be easily solved."

White Shadow Sword, also known as Maid's Pleasure Sword

It is a greatsword that is relatively well-suited to Noelle among the four-star weapons.

Noelle is relatively young now, so you can use the four-star White Shadow Sword as a temporary replacement.

It's not too late to use a five-star weapon when she's older.

Wagner nodded thoughtfully: "I've heard a little about Liyue's weapons."

"The White Shadow Sword is renowned for its weight and sturdiness; its forging process demands an extreme level of skill from the blacksmith..."

"At present, the White Shadow Sword is undoubtedly the right weapon for Noelle."

As a renowned blacksmith in Mondstadt, Wagner had some knowledge of weapons from other countries.

If it were the White Shadow Sword, Noelle wouldn't break her weapon so often.

As the words fell, Noelle seemed to see hope again.

She looked up at Fang Xun and asked excitedly, "Big brother, how can I buy the White Shadow Sword? Do I have to go to Liyue?"

Seeing Noelle's impatient look,

Fang Xun had no doubt that as long as he nodded, Noelle would immediately set off for Liyue.

This little girl really wants a good weapon.

At this moment, Fang Xun gently shook his head: "Little guy, if you're going to Liyue just to buy a sword, it doesn't seem worth it, unless you're going to Liyue for tourism."

"Also, with the Wind Flower Festival just around the corner, are you sure you want to go to Liyue at this time?"

Fang Xun's two sentences calmed Noelle down.

She longed to obtain a White Shadow Sword right now, and she also longed to participate in the Wind and Flower Festival, which was just around the corner.

Seeing Noelle's dilemma, Fang Xun offered a solution: "How about this, I'll ask a friend to send the White Shadow Sword over."

"It won't let you miss the Flower Festival, and it'll also give you a handy weapon. How about that?"

"Brother, is it true?"

Upon hearing Fang Xun's words, Noelle's rosy face filled with joy.

However, her joy lasted only a second before Noelle became worried again.

"But... there are only three days left until the Flower Festival. Big brother, can your friend really arrive before the festival?"

As far as Noelle knows, Liyue is some distance from Mondstadt.

Even traveling by horse-drawn carriage day and night, it would probably take at least three days to get there.

This only accounts for the travel time; it doesn't include other preparation time.

Without even thinking, Fang Xun nodded: "Of course, no problem."

"After all, that guy... is the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons."

Only Xiao could deliver the White Shadow Sword to Mondstadt within three days.

Of course, Fang Xun didn't use Xiao as an errand boy.

Instead, they used this opportunity to let Xiao stay in Mondstadt for the Windflower Festival.

When Fang Xun took Qi Qi to buy breakfast earlier, the shop manager looked somewhat familiar. Fang Xun felt like he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place him.

Later, Fang Xun realized that the shopkeeper he had met was Fu She, one of the Five Yakshas.

Fu She put on his clothes and tucked his arms in; Fang Xun almost didn't recognize him.

With this, Fang Xun's plan became quite clear.

Have Xiao deliver the White Shadow Sword to Mondstadt, and then let Xiao spend the festival with his brothers and sisters.

Isn't this delicious?

...

Gan Yu and Xin Hai were re-released today. Did any of you manage to snag a copy?

The author specifically saved up 87 draws, intending to upgrade Gan Yu's constellation.

After all, who wouldn't like a girl who blushes easily and gets shy?

The good news is that the money was withdrawn; the bad news is that the 77 (presumably referring to a specific type of currency) was withdrawn.
