The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

As soon as Ying finished speaking, the warriors who had confiscated the Eye of God made another threat. The man seemed to be scared and had no choice but to obediently hand over the Eye of God.

This situation caught Ying off guard and left Paimon, who appeared out of nowhere, feeling helpless.

"How could this happen... In the end, I still got taken. Huh? Why is he here?"

Just as Paimon and Ying were puzzled, the person whose God's Eye had been confiscated came running over excitedly and thanked Xiaogong profusely.

It was only at this moment that the two of them realized that the Eye of God that had been confiscated earlier was fake.

"It was just a false alarm..." Paimon said, his hands behind his back, then looked at Kiana, who had once again failed to see through the prophecy. "Did you see right through me this time, Kiana?"

"Kiana, you... you can tell at a glance whether the Eye of God is real or fake?"

Seeing how incredibly accurate their explanations were, Yoomiya, finding it quite amusing, also joined in.

"Huh? Kiana, judging from the name... is she a foreigner? Wow, she sounds amazing, could she be an alchemist from Mondstadt?"

It must be said that these three people were incredibly enthusiastic.

Kiana thought for a moment, then casually replied:

"Ahem, I only have a slight understanding of the Eye of God. I just guessed correctly based on my intuition. You guys overestimate me."

Ying and Paimon, used to such modesty, exchanged glances and gave each other helpless smiles, deciding not to press the matter further.

However, Yoomiya, whom he had only recently met, was unusually perceptive:

"Really? I don't think so. Actually, I noticed you were different from others just now! You must be the omnipotent high-level alchemist described in the books, who can easily make a bomb and level a city, right?"

"You mean Klee? No, someone who can easily make a bomb and level a city? That's probably Miss Alice, isn't it? You've mistaken me for someone else, I'm not her."

Upon hearing Kiana mention this so-called Alice, Yoomiya paused for a moment, then smiled and asked:

"Miss Alice? Who is she? Does she have a lot of expertise in fireworks making? Wow... I hope I can meet her someday."

Song of Flames and Lightning (Genshin Impact Inazuma Main Story): Chapter 44 This is called infiltration

Perhaps Yoomiya doesn't realize just how powerful Miss Alice is; if she did...

Wouldn't Inazuma Castle become the next Mondstadt?

What kind of chain reaction would occur when alchemy and gunpowder science were combined?

It's truly terrifying to even think about...

"Miss Alice is currently missing. You might run into her again someday, but right now... what should we do?"

"Eh? Sorry, sorry, I was actually thinking about making fireworks at a time like this..." Xiaogong remembered the rescue and felt embarrassed.

"It's okay. Fireworks are your favorite and your best thing, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just... don't go too far."

After pondering for a while, Kiana gave this answer.

We should be thankful the fireworks weren't bombs, otherwise Inazuma Castle would have gained another demolition genius, and everyone would have experienced the terror of Tsar Bomba...

"You seem to know me very well... Is that just my imagination? Anyway, let's get going."

"Let's go?" Ying, who had been silently listening to their conversation, looked up, very curious about where they were going next.

Seeing that she was unclear about the specifics, Xiaogong chuckled and began to explain the matter of the fake God's Eye, from its production to its distribution and finally to the producer being arrested.

After listening, Ying and Paimon realized that the most urgent task was to rescue the counterfeit master from prison.

"A replica of the Eye of God? That sounds amazing. How did he manage to replicate it?" Paimon muttered to himself, scratching his head.

"I don't know, let's ask after they're rescued."

"That's the only way..."

"Then let's set off quickly." Seeing that the three of them did not refuse to help, Xiaogong smiled and began to act as the guide.

During this time, she asked many questions about Alice, Luminous, Paimon, and Kiana.

Although I didn't know everything, I did understand what an alchemist was.

"It feels so amazing... If I could ask her to teach me how to make gunpowder, could I create the most beautiful fireworks in the world?"

"Absolutely not, or what we make might not even qualify as fireworks..."

Kiana was covered in sweat, and for some reason felt that Yoru Palace was gradually heading down a path of no return.

What's this? A fireworks shop owner turning into a bomb maniac?

No, no, no...

"Eh? Really? But I still hope to witness real alchemy. Oh, right! I heard from you... she has a daughter, right? And she knows alchemy too?"

Hearing Xiaogong mention this, Paimon curiously leaned closer and asked:

"Are you talking about Klee, Yoomiya?"

Is this the girl?

"Yes, that's her. Yoomiya, Klee is very sensible, you'll definitely like her."

"Huh? Really? Hmm... I definitely want to meet her someday and see how amazing alchemy is! Thank you, Paimon."

Before entering the prison's secret passage, Paimon and Yomi had a very friendly conversation, which aroused the suspicions of Ying and Kiana.

Is this Paimon deliberately sowing the seeds of crisis?

However, Xiaogong was unaware of their doubts. She quickly lifted the disguise of the secret passage entrance and then looked at the three of them.

"We're here, let's hurry."

What's down there?

"I don't know either, but we have to rescue Master Zheng Sheng. Please help me... okay?"

Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance, then slowly nodded.

Seeing that they already had a plan, Kiana didn't say much, but took the lead and jumped down into the secret passage, leaving only one sentence behind.

"Let's go, time is of the essence."

The environment inside the secret passage was very dark and enclosed, which made people unconsciously tense and eager to move forward.

This tension only eased upon reaching the destination, the prison where Master Zheng Sheng was imprisoned.

Kiana stood at the entrance to the secret passage, staring at the samurai patrolling beside the prison fire, ready to set off at any moment.

Before long, Xiaogong arrived with Yingpaimeng.

"What should we do next? Should we infiltrate or charge straight in?" Yingjian asked nervously, seeing that Kiana hadn't taken any action.

Paimon, standing nearby, offered a somewhat fearful suggestion upon hearing this:

"Let's sneak in. It wouldn't be good if we caused a riot; I don't want to be wanted by the whole city like I was in Liyue..."

"Mm." Ying nodded.

"Let's sneak in then, but be careful not to be spotted by the samurai."

After Kiana finished speaking, she began to sneak into the prison very carefully, but the four of them walked in so swaggeringly.

Even if you do nothing, just standing there might still make them notice.

Sure enough, as they passed through the corridor leading to the prison, several armed samurai suddenly jumped out from behind the screen.

"Huh? Who is it?"

These samurai were just on a routine patrol and clearly did not expect to actually discover intruders.

The two sides stared at each other for a long time before the samurai came to their senses and raised their swords and spears.

Seeing this, Kiana covered her forehead, realizing that skipping class was no longer an option.

Now comes the real infiltration time...

"As long as we take down all the people who discover us, there is no possibility of failure in the infiltration."

After giving those dutiful samurai a good beating, Kiana began to take Yoomiya and the others on a grand tour of the prison.

Anyone who dares to charge at you is basically destined to get a beating and then fall to the ground unconscious.

Of course, Luminous, who is capable of using various elemental forces, also contributed a lot in this process.

The two individuals' infiltration this time was characterized by arrogance and domineering behavior...

It was thanks to their performance that Yoomiya realized just how formidable her helpers were.

After a reassuring infiltration, the group successfully collected all the magatama. Kiana also took the opportunity to open several treasure chests in the underworld with Ying.

Once all of this is done, the crucial moment for saving lives will arrive.

As the distinctive gate of Inazuma slowly opened, one after another, screens that could be pushed open and moved appeared before everyone's eyes.

After successfully moving east and west to open a path forward, Kiana and the others finally saw the main target of their rescue mission.

Master Zheng Sheng, the master of forgery with the Eye of God.

At this moment, the key figure in creating the replica of the Eye of God was slumped on the ground, seemingly having suffered a significant injury.

Two samurai from the shogunate stood guard by his side, mocking him while also expressing their concerns about the current situation.

As a result, everyone learned that within the shogunate, there was actually skepticism about the so-called Eye Hunting Order.

However, their opinions are actually irrelevant, because only General Thunder has the right to make the decision.

After seeing Master Zheng Sheng's distressed appearance, Xiao Gong looked at the three of them with great concern:

"What's next? Knock them out like before?"

Song of Flames and Lightning (Genshin Impact Inazuma Main Story): Chapter 45 I'm not leaving. How about you take me to see your general?

"Hmm, knock them out. If that doesn't work... just make them disappear from this world..." Ying's voice suddenly turned cold.

"Hey, you're so scary, Ying..."

"Really?" Ying glanced at Paimon and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Well... to be honest, a little. Although we're here to rescue people, please don't do anything to them. Otherwise, if it gets found out, my fireworks shop will be out of business."

Xiaogong smiled somewhat awkwardly, clearly not wanting the hostage rescue incident to escalate too much.
