God loves the world, but He cannot make people useless.

If they were allowed to become too dependent and regard the gods as a backup, then even without the Eye Hunting Order, this country would not be able to last long. That was why Hanasari had advised the general previously.

Xie Yan frowned slightly: "Then Hua Sanli, how do you think I should deal with the order problem? I am a Kande Bugyo and the heir of the Thunder and Lightning Five Sects. Someone will definitely ask me about this matter tomorrow."

"I'm not asking you to sit back and watch. You can't just use projection to make weapons to complete the order, but optimizing and adjusting the official forging department, increasing manpower, teaching the five traditions of lightning and forging swords, and making changes in the system and technology, isn't this the best of both worlds?"

"I understand. The main thing is to form a system that allows mortals to operate autonomously. It is impossible to completely rely on gods. Liyue's return mechanism was also invented by the demon god."

Xie Yan finally understood why Hua Sanli followed him back to the island today. She knew that she had always considered the overall situation before, but he was just a warrior back then. Now he wants to be a ruler, so he needs to understand the details.

In fact, this point was also mentioned by King Dacishu on the issue of talismans. At that time, Xie Yan thought it was just about creating jobs to revitalize the economy. Now that he thinks about it, this is the way of thinking that a ruler should have.

Uh, wait, Hanasari didn’t say these to Ying, but came directly to me... Damn, it feels like we’re getting closer to rebellion.

Xie Yan had mixed feelings, but Hua Sanli was completely relieved as he had achieved his goal.

She took out her pipe and subconsciously wanted to take another puff to liven up the mood, but by then the two of them had already reached the prison gate, and considering her own image, she put the cigarette back.

Smoking traditional cigarettes in front of Xie Yan, a junior, always made her feel that she was not innocent enough, and she had to sing a few songs at least to make up for it.

You know what, Xie Yan did think it was a bit strange that Ningguang and Hua Sanli smoked. After all, there didn't seem to be many people who smoked in the continent of Teyvat, but there were quite a few people who liked to drink.

If Yingmei dared to smoke, Xie Yan would definitely find a way to help her quit smoking. It just so happened that she had already tried the "substitute".

"It's just a bad habit I developed in the past. Smoking is not a good thing. I will try to quit." Hua Sanli coughed twice. She felt inexplicably tight in her heart.

No, that's not right. Why should I be afraid of Xie Yan? He can fight, but can he help me quit smoking?

If nothing else, can you help me find a replacement?

She then turned and looked at the shogunate soldiers in front of her.

During this period, Tenryo Bugyo was maintaining law and order on Mingshen Island and arrested many prisoners. The sky was gloomy at this time and there were still heavy troops stationed there.

In fact, the two of them had been noticed in mid-air a long time ago, but since they were both of noble status, no one dared to disturb them.

Hey, wait, wasn't it said that Lord Xie Yan had a close relationship with Palace Master Yae? Why was it that when he came back today, it was Palace Master Hanasari who received him?

A while ago, Inazuma's light novels were a mess, with countless samurai protagonists based on Xie Yan, but most of these books ended with the victory of the fox fairy Gongji, giving everyone the illusion that the fox fairy Gongji would definitely win.

Of course, with the rise of Lady Coral Palace, all of this becomes questionable.

As Lady Coral Palace went out less and less, the Inazuma women became more in awe of her. They felt that she was turning her back on everyone!

The soldiers had heard these rumors to a greater or lesser extent. Even though the shogunate army had strict discipline and dared not discuss them too much, it was inevitable that they would speculate in their hearts. After all, both of them were important figures in Inazuma, and ordinary people loved to eat such big melons the most.

However, when Xie Yan and Hua Sanli approached, the soldiers immediately saluted with fanatical faces.

"Your Majesty, Lord Palace Administrator!"

Xie Yan's return today caused a huge commotion. The airflow formed by the complete form of Susanoo flying past was enough to split the sea surface. His tall and majestic body almost cast a shadow over the dock on the outlying islands. Although he stayed in the castle tower until dark, the news had already reached Inazuma Castle.

Such a level and such great power can only be possessed by gods, but because Xie Yan has noble blood, everyone quickly accepted this.

Yes, thousands of years ago, Lord Xie Yan’s ancestors were able to fight alongside Emperor Yanwang. Now that he has restored the glory of his family, isn’t this a very normal thing?

People from other countries might be curious and analyze Susanoo's abilities and explore Xie Yan's growth trajectory, but the Inazuma people were surprised for a moment and then took it for granted.

Xie Yan knew that the Inazuma bloodline theory was deeply rooted and did not say anything about it. After all, it was the foundation of the Inazuma hereditary system.

Of course, it is impossible to completely block the upward channels, so Inazuma has a classic culture of "the lower ones overthrowing the upper ones".

After nodding to the soldiers stationed at the gate, Hanasari explained the situation: "The General has already ordered the Kanjo Bugyo to handle the matter of the Kujo family and the evil swordsmith."

"Yes, sirs. Please follow me." The leading soldier bowed slightly and led Xie Yan and Hua Sanli into the prison.

The prison of Tianling Fengxing was far away from the base, located in the southeast corner of the island, but it was quite large. Xie Yan made a rough estimate before coming in and found that the space was not much smaller than the dormitory building of Tianling Fengxing.

But it is a prison cell after all, and you can imagine what the environment inside is like. As soon as you enter the door, you are hit by a pungent smell.

Hua Sanli frowned slightly, silently recited the command in his heart, stretched out his hand, and immediately an invisible magic circle formed around him to isolate the smell outside.

The soldier leading the way quickly turned around, his eyes full of admiration, and the same was true for the soldiers stationed in the prison corridor.

They did not look at Hanasari's tail and fox ears strangely, but instead made them even more awed, as if they had returned to the most prosperous era of Inazuma.

"Some time ago, the general personally appointed me as the chief priest of Mingshen Taisha Shrine. What was announced to the outside world was that I was a disciple of Kitsusai Palace and also possessed the bloodline of the Baichen Demon King." Hua Sanli's voice suddenly sounded in Xie Yan's ears.

This kind of sound transmission technique was too easy for Xie Yan, who controlled the power of dreams. He followed the connection and asked curiously, "Doesn't that mean there are two palace officials?"

"So what if you two are the chief ministers? Inazuma is the general's Inazuma after all. Etiquette, rules, and those noble families all exist because of her. What she says is Inazuma's truth." Hanasari said calmly, "Xie Yan, I hope you can understand more details, because this is the foundation for becoming a wise king, but you must also remember that you can't get yourself confused because of the rules."

Xie Yan nodded. As a superior who makes the rules, he must maintain a transcendent position. If he said, "The Court of Judgment can even judge gods," like the Water God, he would get himself into trouble sooner or later.

Wait...Hana Sanri, are you really training me to be the third generation Thunder God?

Fast forward to "Xie Yan, I am the Thunder General."

As they were talking, the two of them walked through the corridor and came to the next floor, where the two swordsmiths were imprisoned and the weapons they forged were stored in the warehouse.

It was similar to what Hanasari said. As we walked along, we found that the cells were almost full. When they saw someone coming into the corridor, many disheveled prisoners threw themselves directly on the railings.

"Sir, I am innocent! I just accidentally did it, I definitely didn't kill anyone on purpose!"

"My Lord, I was also wronged. It was the merchants from the International Chamber of Commerce who deliberately framed me. That's why I didn't rob their caravan!"

"Sir, I went robbing because I couldn't afford to eat...Yes, it was the people of Zhidong Country who ordered me to do this. It was all done by Zhidong Country!"

These people cried bitterly, their hearts were broken, as if they had suffered a great injustice, but unfortunately, Xie Yan used his dream power to read their thoughts a little, and what he heard was something else.

In fact, even without mind reading, Xie Yan could still see clearly. He had seen too many people like this when he was working in Tianling.

The soldier leading the way originally wanted to turn back to explain, but seeing Xie Yan and Hua Sanli looked calm, he immediately knew that the two adults had their own ways of distinguishing.

However, as the distance got closer, many people recognized Xie Yan’s identity and immediately exclaimed: “Don’t cry, God of Death!”

The cell suddenly fell silent for a moment. All the ronin who had just been wiping their noses and seeking justice shrank back, which made Hanasari extremely surprised.

"The Crying Death God, this name... is really good." Hanasari tried hard to suppress her smile.

Xie Yan's mouth twitched, and he corrected himself: "Wrong, I am now called Overlord. If it doesn't work, you can call me Great Auspicious Overlord, which is better than the Crying Death God."

Hanasari always felt that the title of the Great Auspicious Overlord was a bit strange. She rolled her eyes and said, "By the way, this is the name given to you by the Sumeru people. We Inazuma don't recognize it. The general was angry with the winter envoy today because of this matter."

"General, are you planning to give me the divine name of Inazuma?"

"The name and title of God are of great importance. You are the third generation Thunder God by default. How can we sit back and watch the Xumi people take the lead?"

Although Xie Yan is still in the transformation period, he is already able to fight against demons and possesses the three elements of divine power, divinity, and authority. He should indeed be treated as a true god.

Xie Yan felt that it was still too early for this, so he shook his head and signaled Hua Sanli to get down to business first.

The soldier leading the way stopped and bowed to Xie Yan and said, "Master Xie Yan, these two guys are the swordsmiths who committed the crime. One is called Liuye Old Ghost, and the other is called Shimada. They took advantage of the surging earth veins to go to the desolate sea and awakened a lot of relic mechas."

Willow Leaf Old Ghost?

Xie Yan's name sounded familiar to him, as if he had heard it before when he was on a mission with Sha Luo. He didn't expect that the other party would be thrown into jail this time.

But when he turned around, he saw that the two people inside were both white-haired, with dull eyes and an obvious aura of the abyss. It was unknown how old they had been, and they would not live for many months.

Xie Yan shook his head gently and said, "No need to interrogate them. Their minds are almost wiped out. The power of the abyss is not something that mortals can withstand."

"Alas, in fact, there were many such swordsmiths 500 years ago. They embarked on the evil path of sword forging in pursuit of the ideal weapons in their minds... Little did they know that the original intention of the Tatarsam smelting furnace was to consume the crystallized bone marrow and wear away the power of the evil god Orobasi." Hanasari sighed sadly.

If the different attributes of God's Eye have their own personality traits, then Lei is paranoia.

As for Inazuma, who is from the Land of Thunder, there are too many tragic stories caused by paranoia. On a small scale, it is the inheritance and grudges of these swordsmiths. On a large scale, Heguan and Qinglai Island were destroyed because of paranoia.

Xie Yan couldn't help but fall into silence. A thousand years ago, Ying killed Orobas. Later, he set up many seals on Bayun Island and opened a smelting furnace in Taliangsha to dissipate the power of the evil god.

If it could be run normally, Inazuma would not only not have to worry about the influence of the evil spirit's power, but could also use it to make a breakthrough in the smelting industry. However, human desires are unpredictable. The dignitaries in the city treat it as a cash cow and often let Ta'ersha overload production. Even Alice complained about this in the travel guide.

Therefore, the monitoring system is still very necessary. God's original intention is good, and there is nothing wrong with its approach, but when mortals carry it out, it brings disaster.

Although Xie Yan had asked Jiutiao Sara to legislate before he left last time, what about a few years later? There would definitely be people who would take risks.

Making a note of this in their minds, Xie Yan and Hua Sanli turned and left.

Hua Sanli didn't say much. She brought Xie Yan here just to teach him. The two swordsmiths were already dying, so there was nothing worth paying attention to.

"By the way, do you want to take a look at those two demon swords?"

"Demon sword?"

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows. Although he knew that this was at most a four-star weapon, his curiosity was still aroused.

Entering the warehouse, there were many pieces of evidence stored there, and the two demon swords were sealed with a magic circle specially set up by Hua Sanli, so there was no need to worry about affecting other people.

What came into view were two swords, one black and one purple. Even though they were sealed, they still exuded a ferocious aura. According to Xie Yan's estimation, their power was probably no less than that of "Ping Long Diao Yi Xin" in its heyday.

Of course, an ordinary person would probably be killed first after just a few swings of these two swords.

“These two swords have indeed absorbed the power of the abyss, but the craftsmanship is too poor. They are actually just semi-finished products.” Xie Yan brushed his fingers across the sword.

After thinking for a while, he exerted a little force with his palm, and a surging thunder gushed out and completely destroyed the two swords.

"The power of the abyss is unknown, so it is better to be careful. If the sword spirit develops after a long time, it will be troublesome again." Xie Yan is not the kind of person who will leave troubles for future generations. Besides, in his opinion, these two swords are too shabby and there is no value in keeping them.

Naturally, no one dared to question his decision, and the soldiers guarding the warehouse immediately registered the damage.

Afterwards, Xie Yan and Hua Sanli walked out of the prison.

Hua Sanli asked curiously, "I just remembered that although you fight with projections, your sword-forging skills are also very good. Even the general has praised you. In this case, why don't you try to forge a weapon of your own?"

"Your own weapon?" Xie Yan looked hesitant.

In the past, he felt that it was meaningless and treated projection weapons more as consumables, but now that he has mastered multiple divine powers, he can completely learn the method of teaching Lingyuan to create the Mountain-Slaying Sword and then input the divine power after making the outer shell.

A weapon forged in this way might not be as good as Meng Xiang Yi Xin's complete divine weapon at first, but as Xie Yan's understanding of the divine power deepens, the weapon will also grow.

After some consideration, he decided that he could give it a try. Anyway, he had to ask Ying about the Mountain-Slaying Sword this time.

"I'll give it a try. Let's experiment with the more docile grass element first." Xie Yan nodded slightly, then paused, "Wait, Hua Sanli, are you still going to follow me?"

Hua Sanli frowned slightly: "Why? I can't go to the island with you?"

She was originally planning to return to Mingjin Taisha Shrine after finishing teaching, but after Xie Yan said that, she didn't want to leave anymore.

Good boy, I tried so hard to teach you just now, but you didn’t even let me leave the island?

Xie Yan was choked and scratched his head: "Well, of course I welcome you to come to the island, but it's past dinner time now, I can't entertain you if you go there."

"I don't need your hospitality. I mainly want to meet your wife. The shogunate has been talking about her recently. It would be a pity not to meet such a wonderful woman." Hanasari didn't care.

"But you also know that I haven't seen her for a month. Aren't you just being a light bulb?"

"I'm just asking a few questions, how could I possibly delay the two of you? Oh, let's put it another way, even if I was right beside you, so what? Young people are really too embarrassed to do that."

After finishing the serious business, Hua Sanli also entered the foxy mode.

The corners of her mouth curled up into a provocative smile: "Tsk tsk, you're not worried that your performance is not good enough, so you're afraid of being seen by me, right?"

Having said that, and since Hua Sanli is the elder, Xie Yan couldn't refute it.

Humph, today I will let you see the essence content of the gold medal ADC!

...

Since they were free of burden, they both flew at full speed and soon arrived at Kanjo Bugyofu.

After not being home for a month, Xie Yan was filled with emotion when he stepped into the Kande Bugyo Palace again. He stood at the gate for several seconds.

The warriors and maids had been waiting for his return, and when they saw him they all bowed respectfully.

Xin Hai's two personal maids came over. They glanced at Hua Sanli and then whispered, "Sir, Madam Coral Palace is bathing in the hot spring, and Miss Ying is also here. What do you think should be done next?"

What? We're going back to the hot springs now?

Xie Yan was slightly stunned, but when he came to his senses, he immediately swallowed his saliva.

Although the maid didn't say it explicitly because of Hanasari's presence, her meaning was very clear: Lady Coral Palace has prepared a party, do you want to join?

Xie Yan naturally chose to ignore the danger and continue his visit!

"Ahem, Madam Coral Palace and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally I have to go see her right away. And Miss Ying is a distinguished guest, so of course I have to receive her well." Xie Yan pursed his lips.

Hua Sanli was silent. She felt that Xie Yan had brought the level from 12+ to 18+.

But this put her in a difficult position. She had originally wanted to meet Xin Hai to see if she had turned her back on everyone as the legend said. But now she could only retreat. She couldn't just stand by and watch Xie Yan have a party, right?

However--

Xie Yan, who had already taken a step forward, suddenly stopped and turned to look at her: "Hua Sanli, why don't you follow me?"

"I...I feel a little unwell. Let's go back to the guest room and rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Hua Sanli turned her head away.

Although she has never tried it, she knows that Xie Yan is definitely of great value.
