I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 110: Yae no Miko's phone call captured the doctor and Kujo Takayuki's conspiracy.

Tvalin gave Chen Bo a deep look, his gaze complex and unfathomable.

It didn't speak, but lowered its huge head, gently nuzzled Chen Bo's shoulder, then flapped its wings and flew high, stirring up a gust of wind, and disappeared into the horizon.

Just as it took off, a gentle breeze, audible only to Dvalin, whispered in its ear.

"Tvalin, you've suffered, you did a great job. Go back and get some sleep. I'll bring you some good wine later—uh, and some apples."

It was the voice of the wind god.

Dvalin felt a warmth in his heart, and his flight became lighter.

With Dwarin gone, the crisis that had been looming over Château de la Dawn was finally averted, and the tense atmosphere on site relaxed.

The troupe leader walked up to Chen Bo, sheathed his longsword, and solemnly gave him a knightly salute.

"Thank you, Mr. Anil. You not only saved Dawn Winery, but also the Guardians of the Four Winds of Mondstadt."

"You're too kind, acting leader. It was nothing," Chen replied politely.

Just then, that mischievous breeze quietly slipped into his ear again.

Wendy laughed heartily: "Hey, great inventor, you've really stolen the show today."

"Once you obtain the clone of the Formless Wind, if you don't mind, how about sending it to me? I'll help you cultivate the clone of the Formless Wind."

Tvalin has left.

Diluc stood still, turning his gaze from the sky to Chen Bo, who was inspecting the floating cannons not far away.

The Eye of God is the acknowledged source of power in Teyvat, a gift that mortals look up to from the Sky Isle, thus gaining the privilege of manipulating the elements.

Today, this simple mechanical creation, made of iron blocks, gears, and energy circuits, has actually defeated Dvalin.

This was beyond the Mondstadt nobleman's centuries-old understanding. If Sumeru scholars could mass-produce this kind of equipment, the balance of power among the seven kingdoms would be completely rewritten.

"Mondstadt's defenses need an upgrade," Diluc whispered to Kaeya. "Traditional walls and knight formations are meaningless against this level of firepower."

"Agreed." Kaeya straightened his cuffs. "But that's Jean's business. Our task now is to ensure that this great inventor remains benevolent towards Mondstadt."

Qin stepped forward, sheathing her knight's sword. She looked at Chen Bo and gave a flawless Favonius salute.

"Mr. Anil, you saved the Four Winds and averted a potential dragon calamity in Mondstadt. The Knights of Favonius owe you a debt of gratitude."

Chen Bo stopped what he was doing and looked up at her.

Qin spoke calmly: "In recognition of your contributions, I, in my capacity as acting commander, hereby formally bestow upon you the title of 'Honorary Knight.'"

Jean paused for a moment, then continued, "On the last day of the badminton festival, at the climax of the celebration, I will publicly recount your deeds to the entire city. The people of Mondstadt have the right to know who protected them."

"Then thank you, Commander Qin."

Chen Bo did not refuse. Reputation can often bring convenience.

As for Xumi's infiltration, Chen Bo also wanted some fame and took the opportunity to strive for the position of a sage.

Regarding the wine tasting event, Nasita and Wendy ultimately tied for first place, with neither side gaining a clear advantage.

Diluc meant that the reward would be split equally between the two people.

The barrel of century-old Dawn vintage was brought up. The oak barrel bore the marks of time and exuded a rich aroma of wine.

It's clearly a rare and precious item.

Chen Bo placed his hand directly on the barrel and pushed it in front of Wendy.

"It's yours now."

Wendy's eyes lit up, and she pounced on the barrel, as if afraid someone would steal it from her.

"Great Inventor, you're a real savior," Wendy transmitted telepathically, in a voice only Chen Bo could hear. "Leave your Anemo Hypostasis clone to me. I'm a professional; I'll make sure it's well-fed and healthy."

"I will take it to the place where the wind rises and nourish it with the purest wind elements."

An exchange of benefits was reached.

Chen Bo had absolutely no interest in alcohol.

The Wind God can help cultivate his clones personally, which is an extremely worthwhile deal. He will probably be able to learn a lot of powerful wind elemental spells.

The wine banquet competition ended, and Chen Bo did not attend the subsequent wine tasting banquet. Instead, he took Farusan and Luna One and set off on the road back to Mondstadt.

Farusan walked briskly beside Chen Bo. Watching her student shine, she, as the mentor, felt a surge of pride.

She crossed her arms and turned her head to look at Chen Bo.

"Things in Mondstadt are done, and the badminton festival is almost over. When are we going to hunt the Electro Hypostasis?"

She spoke quickly, with the fervor of a scholar: "Because you said you wanted to hunt the Lightning Hypostasis, I recently had a new idea about the conduction mechanism of high-pressure lightning element, and I need a pure lightning element core to conduct experiments."

"Think about it, if you connect the core of the Thunder of the Impermanence to your floating cannon system and use a matrix of high-voltage transformers, the resulting lightning might be able to pierce through the clouds."

Chen Bo shook his head and said, "Senior, the plan for the Lightning Element is postponed. I want to prioritize hunting the Water of No Form now."

Farusan stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowed, her face full of confusion.

"Water? Why water? Water's destructive power is far less than lightning's. Your mech build leans towards high burst damage, and water's characteristics don't suit it."

Over the past few days, Chen Bo has consulted a large number of ancient Mondstadt alchemy documents in the Knights of the Order library and, combined with leyline data, deduced the underlying logic of Teyvat.

"Destructive power is only the surface; elements are not only tools of destruction, but also the authority that governs the world."

Chen Bo explained: "Water corresponds to life, fire corresponds to death, wind corresponds to time, and rock corresponds to space."

This was not unfounded; the Wind God possessed a portion of the power of time.

The ability to create grotto-heavens is a signature feature of the Liyue Immortals, and their ability to manifest three eyes and five powers is a gift from the Emperor. Zhongli also possesses spatial powers.

Water is the symbol of creation.

Chen Bo explained: "The alchemical texts of Old Mondstadt mention the relationship between the water element and the transformation of life forms many times."

Traditional alchemy attributes this transformation to a miracle, but the essence of science is to analyze miracles.

Farusian was stunned. This theory, which directly links elements to the underlying laws of the world, is a cutting-edge and even somewhat esoteric topic in the Order of the Church.

After all, the four powers of life, death, time, and space are all difficult to find research subjects for, and it is even more difficult to write papers on them.

This is a topic that ordinary scholars cannot study; it requires a doctoral degree to research.

Chen Bo continued his explanation: "The water element possesses the power of creation. Creating slices and nurturing clones is essentially a process of creation from nothing. If the creative power of the water element is lacking as a neutralizer, the clones will ultimately be flawed. In fact, my first slice should have been the formless water. Once I mastered water, creating other slices would be much easier."

Nasita nodded in agreement.

"That's right," Nasita's voice was clear. "After fusing with the Flame of No Form, your mental fluctuations increased by 30%, and your mental strength decreased by 20%. I suspect that if you continue to categorize your mind, it may cause a severe mental tear."

Only Naxida could perceive Chen Bo's mental changes in the dream world.

Chen Bo said, "That's right. After splitting off the formless fire, although I didn't feel a headache, I did get tired more easily than before."

"If I were to split my spirit and merge with the Lightning of No Form again at this time, I might be tormented by severe headaches. Therefore, I think it's better to wait until the gestation of the Fire of No Form is finished and my spirit recovers before merging with the next Fire of No Form."

"Furthermore, I anticipate that after fusing with the Water of No Form, my recovery speed will increase significantly, and the speed at which I fuse with my clones will then accelerate considerably."

Upon hearing this, Farusan's mind raced. She was over a hundred years old and had seen and experienced much.

But the theoretical system presented by her apprentice made her feel that she had learned something.

She coughed twice, cleared her throat, and adopted the airs of an elder.

"I see. To be able to extract this underlying logic from the alchemy books of Mondstadt, not bad. You are indeed a student I have taught. Since there is a risk of mental breakdown, let's do as you say and deal with the water elemental first."

The attempt to save face was very successful.

Night fell over Mondstadt.

The library of the Knights of Favonius was brightly lit.

Chen Bo and Falushan are reading in the library again.

Lisa sat behind the counter, reading a banned book, but occasionally yawned.

Chen Bo sat in the most secluded corner, several thick ancient books piled in front of him: "Analysis of the Flow of Water Element Veins," "The Evolutionary History of Pure Water Spirits," and "A Study of the Hydrology of Ancient Fontaine."

He flips through books extremely quickly, yet he has a photographic memory.

During this time, with Lisa by my side, I read quite a few banned books.

The bracelet emitted a unique vibration frequency.

Chen Bo glanced at the screen of the bracelet.

Call source: Inazuma. Caller: Yae no Miko.

Oh, it's the Goddess's phone call.

What's wrong, Divine Child?

He stood up, walked over to Farusan, and tapped on the table.

"Senior, I'm going out to take a call, I'll be right back."

Fiona nodded.

Leave the library.

Chen Bo walked to an empty open space and activated the bracelet.

Mech components flew in from all directions, rapidly assembling with crisp mechanical clicks. Streamlined armor covered the entire body, with grass, fire, wind, and lightning illuminating different parts.

The peregrine falcon's wings spread out behind it.

The thrusters activated, spraying out a crimson tail flame.

Chen Bo leaped into the air.

It flew directly to an altitude of 1,000 meters.

There will be no disturbance here.

Communication is established.

"Oh, busy man, you've finally answered my call?" Yae Shinko's characteristic languid voice came from the speaker, the last syllable drawn out with a hint of teasing.

Clearly, she was a little annoyed that she had been made to wait.

"Divine Child, a late-night communication, you can't be just looking for a casual chat, can you?" Chen Bo said calmly.

"How utterly clueless you are." The goddess chuckled. "Come and see the show I've prepared for you."

Subsequently, the Divine Child initiated screen sharing.

Chen Bo accepted the offer without hesitation.

The perspective is extremely unique, looking down on Inazuma Castle from a very high place. The camera zooms in and finally focuses on a reception room deep inside the Tenryo Magistrate's residence.

However, the floating telescope was positioned too high; it couldn't see the people inside the room, only their silhouettes on the windows.

Mechanical mosquitoes are too small, so they only have a listening function and no camera function.

However, you can still tell who the two people are by their voices.

Nine acts of filial piety, and the executioner of the foolish crowd, Doctor "Dotole".

Dotore's voice was hoarse, with a metallic quality to it. "The Fools' sincerity is laid out on the table. I need the supply of crystallized marrow tenfold."

Kujo Takayuki snorted coldly, slamming his fingers heavily on the table: "Ten times? You want me to just send shogunate soldiers to collect it?"

"In that case, that sincerity isn't enough."

He's waiting for the right price.

Dotore let out a low laugh: "Then double the sincerity. Also, I need you to do one more thing."

Kujo Takayuki: "What happened?"

Dotore: "It's simple, launch a full-scale war against Haizhi Island."

Kujo Takayuki remained silent, weighing the pros and cons.

Or rather, he was calculating how much benefit he could gain from it.

"Deal." Kujo Takayuki's greed was impossible to conceal. "Anyway, the people on Umijima Island aren't entirely loyal to the Shogun; keeping them around is a threat. Eliminating them now will perfectly demonstrate the majesty of the Heavenly Territory Enforcer!"

Dotole stood up: "It's a pleasure doing business with you, Lord Kujo."

The deal was done. Dotole turned and walked towards the door.

Just as he was about to open the sliding door, he stopped in his tracks.

The silhouette on the window paper turned its head slightly. The direction of the bird-beak mask was directly facing the location where the mechanical flying insects were hiding under the eaves.

Dotore's voice was low and dangerous, "Have you noticed—more than one strange, extremely faint elemental fluctuation near the room? Like flying insects?"

Chen Bo, high in the air, was stunned for a moment.

Could it be that it has sensed the mechanical mosquitoes I use for listening?

That's amazing, they can actually sense the elemental power of mechanical mosquitoes.

Kujo Takayuki looked around blankly: "Flying insects? There aren't any. The Magistrate's Office is cleaned every day, and they even use insect-repelling incense. Where would flying insects come from? You're overthinking it, Doctor."

"Shouldn't there be flying insects? I understand now." The doctor didn't press the matter further and left.

The crisis is over.

The surveillance footage was cut off.

The image of Yae no Miko appeared; it was late at night, and she was soaking her feet and checking the surveillance video along the way.

Upon discovering the crucial information, they immediately initiated a communication request to Chen Bo.

"See?" the priestess sighed. "The situation in Inazuma is getting more and more chaotic. The Tenryo Magistrate has completely become a pawn of the Fools for his own selfish interests. If the war with Umijima is fully ignited, the entire Inazuma will be dragged into the quagmire."

She looked up, her gaze meeting Chen Bo's eyes through the screen: "I can't manage all this by myself. Little guy, when are you coming to help me?"

"After all, the reward I promised you is a genuine Heart of God."

"If you take someone's money, you have to solve their problems. Now that I've taken your God's Heart, I'll definitely find a way to help you with Inazuma's troubles." Chen Bo readily agreed.

"However, I need you to wait for me for a month."

The divine child's eyes flickered: "A month? Isn't that too long?"

Chen Bo said, "No problem. Preparations for war take time, and I also need to go into seclusion during this period to improve the power of my clone."

"Furthermore, I will use this time to make some targeted preparations and upgrade my technology."
