Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

Xie Yan and Yingmei also nodded in agreement. The distribution of technology in the continent of Teyvat was not evenly distributed. Compared with Solstice and Fontaine, Mondstadt and Inazuma were like living in ancient times and lacked a mature industrial system.

But Yae Shenzi still had a smiling face and said, "Don't worry about the printing problem. All we have to do next is to put these spells in the book and emphasize them many times."

After she finished speaking, she took out a note from the desk drawer, as if she had prepared it in advance.

Seeing that Editor-in-Chief Yae had made such arrangements, the two did not dare to ask more questions. After she finished explaining, they left together.

Xie Yan asked curiously, "How are you going to solve the printing problem?"

"Hmph, I thought you would be smarter after your trip to the City of Wisdom, but I didn't expect you still needed the guidance of this fox fairy." The Son of God smiled provocatively. She always liked to tease Xie Yan like this.

But Shen Zi glanced at the two light bulbs, Ying and Paimon, and said seriously, "Yaedo's sales are very high. Inazuma's printing level has long been unable to keep up. We have actually been purchasing machines from Fontaine."

"But you can't create a machine in a short time, right? Or have you already placed an order with Fontaine?"

"Really? Don't we have your projection? Even if the quality is not as good as the real thing, it can always come in handy in a short period of time. You wouldn't just want to use the projection to make weapons? What a waste of resources, just like the idiot Ying!"

Yae Shenzi shook her head repeatedly. Why were all the people she valued martial arts fanatics?

But as soon as he finished speaking, Little Paimeng retorted: "Yajimiyaji, you are wrong. Xie Yan can also project black stockings!"

what?

While the Son of God was still surprised, Xie Yan had already glared at Paimeng fiercely.

Paimon, you don't have to speak if you don't know how to speak, but believe it or not, I will stuff something in your mouth!

Paimeng was horrified. She actually wanted to act as a wingman for Xie Yan so that Xie Yan would have a chance to put on black stockings for the Son of God. However, she would have thought that neither of them seemed to appreciate it.

Ying had a blank expression on her face, but she was gloating in her heart. Paimon obviously didn't know what dressing was, and Yae Shinko was not suitable for black stockings at all.

But thinking that Paimeng was being corrupted by the luxury of the Kande Bugyofu, Yingmei decided to wait and see for the time being and let Xie Yan spur Paimeng on, so that she would not be stopped by Paimeng when she wanted to leave a month later.

Whip hard!

While Xie Yan was organizing his words, hurried footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door.

"Master Palace Assistant, there is a citizen outside asking for help. His brother is possessed by an evil spirit and has become very weak. He himself has also been affected. In addition, there are several similar cases in the same village." Nana Shikano pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing Xie Yan was also here, she bowed quickly.

Yae Shenzi had expected this, and said calmly, "It's okay, at most it's just a sickness, and it will be fine after a few days. Didn't I tell you already? If anyone comes to visit in the next two days, just send them back."

"Master Palace Assistant, this..." Nana Shikano looked hesitant.

She was a very responsible girl. Even though she knew that the Palace Master's actions must have a hidden meaning, she still found it hard to accept such behavior that disregarded the people.

Ying and Paimon looked at each other and both thought that it was inappropriate. They had previously lamented the status of Narukami Taisha in Inazuma, but now the shrine was unwilling to help even with such a small matter. Wouldn't this have a negative impact on the shrine's image?

"Shikano Nana, you really should learn from your cousin." Shen Zi sighed and shook his head, "Did you find out what happened to that person outside?"

"That man's name is Kato Yohei, and his brother's name is Kato Shingo. It is said that the two brothers have practiced kendo for more than ten years and have finally made a certain reputation recently. I heard Zaoyou mention their names before, and I do have some impression of them."

"Oh? Is he the protagonist of a light novel who spent ten years honing his skills but no one paid attention to him, and then became famous overnight? I didn't expect that there was such a hidden master among the people of Inazuma."

"Master Palace Master, what do you mean..."

"Let's go out and have a look. It's a rare opportunity to have fun right at your doorstep."

After saying this, Yaesugi went out first, followed closely by Nana Kano.

Paimon couldn't help but discuss with Yingmei.

"This Yae-miyaji seems a bit like Wendy. He was so serious about the light novel just now, but he is so lazy when doing serious work."

"It's a bit like that, but I think there must be other factors involved."

Yingmei looked at Xie Yan while speaking, only to see that he was frowning slightly.

"It's nothing. This guy is a bit interesting. He even has a trace of evil spirit power. Let's go out and take a look." Xie Yan took Ying and Paimeng out together.

Outside the shrine, a young man named Kato Yohei gave a classic Inazuma bow, and then pleaded with tears in his eyes: "Master, please help us. My brother and I have been dependent on each other since we were young. Seeing him being haunted by an evil spirit, my heart is broken!"

Ying glanced at him. This guy had an ordinary appearance and nothing special in his temperament. Most importantly, he showed no signs of having received any combat training. He definitely could not be a master of swordsmanship.

She believed that Xie Yan and Yae Shen Zi could definitely see it, but neither of them showed any abnormality. Instead, they patiently asked the young man for specific details.

"We both feel that we have made progress in swordsmanship recently, so we have been challenging the famous swordsmen of Inazuma. However, after defeating the main disciple of the Meikyou Shisui Ryu, the elder brother suddenly started to behave strangely and his health became worse and worse. Even I was infected. However, he still likes to run around and often practices under the waterfall."

"We have dreamed of becoming sword masters and establishing our own sect since we were young, but we cannot let anything go wrong at this time! Please ask His Highness Xie Yan and Lord Palace Administrator to help us."

He kept coughing while talking, and his face was sickly pale, which really didn't look right.

"Really? But you don't look like you're behaving strangely. Instead, you seem to be carrying the power of a demon."

"I don't know either, but there are still several sick people in Konda Village. Maybe our village has been haunted by some evil spirit."

When Kato Yohei said this, he had already lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look at Yae Kamiko, and his tone was even more trembling.

Yae Shinto did not answer, but looked at Xie Yan with a smile.

"I see. Then take us to the village. There are quite a few people in Gandada Village. It would be bad if something happened." Xie Yan's face was calm.

Kato Yohei bit his lips tightly, and after struggling for a long time, he still didn't dare to tell the truth.

Afterwards, with the help of Xie Yan, everyone was teleported directly to Konda Village.

During the whole process, Ying was certain that there was something wrong with Kato Yohei, but she was more envious of the tacit understanding between Xie Yan and Yae Shenzi.

Faced with this sudden incident, the two of them obviously did not communicate at all, but just by making eye contact, they knew each other's thoughts and started to have fun.

Although he was Xie Yan's relative, he felt like a third wheel at this moment.

hateful!

Yingmei really wanted to say that it was obviously me who came here first, but when she remembered that Yae Shenzi knew Xie Yan earlier than her, she could only find comfort elsewhere... Humph, I have grass elemental patterns, do you?

Of course, she firmly believed that she would not yield to Xie Yan, but... by the way, it was because she had already formed an alliance with Xin Hai, and now seeing that the Eightfold Son of God was plotting to take over the eldest wife, she would naturally feel dissatisfied.

It’s all just to help Xinhai!

When Yingmei was determined, Xie Yan asked Kato Yohei to find his brother and took the opportunity to ask a few people from the same village.

At this time, the news of the evaluation institute's meeting had not yet reached villages like Konda Village, but they all knew yesterday that Xie Yan had returned driving the Susanoo, so they naturally treated him like a god, and they almost told everyone what kind of underwear the Kato brothers were wearing.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Lord Palace Master, the Kato brothers have always been idle. Kato Shingo once joined the Meijing Shisui Ryu after much persistence, but was expelled from the sect because he was lazy and gluttonous."

"But a few days ago, Kato Shingo became very diligent. He finished ten or even nine times the work of other people in one afternoon. He even kicked down a violet melon tree with one foot. He suddenly hated taking advantage of others."

"As for Kato Yohei, this guy is really shameless. Some time ago, he and several young people from the village went to Kannazuka and took the risk to get a samurai sword. Then he actually challenged an old swordsman in his seventies and used a fighting method to exhaust the old man's physical strength and made him admit defeat."

Yingmei was speechless after hearing this. Isn’t this the legendary “outlasting the old man” tactic?

This method is often used in chess games that require high-intensity calculations. It is specifically used against older opponents. You don't have to do anything, just drag it out for most of the day and the opponent will become mentally exhausted and have no choice but to admit defeat.

Inazuma is so unethical here!

But on second thought, it seemed that Xie Yan did the same when dealing with the Daci Tree King. He pretended to discuss serious matters with the Daci Tree King, but suddenly attacked from behind, causing the King to be careless and unable to dodge. He was tied up tightly by Xie Yan, and finally beaten severely with five lightning "whips".

This is like suddenly pulling out a musket from your arms during a sword fight, telling the enemy that times have changed.

What? That's also Inazuma, so it's okay!

But when Yingmei heard their fellow villagers reveal their secrets, she had some guesses.

Not long after, Kato Yohei hurried back. He had just found his brother meditating at the waterfall, and took everyone there to perform exorcism treatment on him.

After arriving at the waterfall, Ying discovered that Kato Shingo did not have any evil power, and his aura was a bit similar to that of Yae Shinto.

"It's demonic power. He's possessed by the residual spirit of a demon." Yae Kamiko smiled faintly and looked at Kato Yohei meaningfully. "Did your brother start to behave strangely after defeating his opponent, or has he been like this for several days? As far as I know, the symptoms on the first day would never be so severe."

"It became like this five days ago, but I really don't know what happened."

"Really? Seeing that your loved ones who depended on you suddenly became a different person, you actually waited five days before coming to us for help... So your loved ones really need extra money, right?"

Kato Yohei's psychological defenses finally collapsed and he told the truth.

"My brother and I tried the spell from the True Psychic Notes five days ago and made a wish. The spell really worked. I saw a ball of light enter my brother's body. His behavior became very strange, but he did achieve his wish to become a swordsman."

"I'm worried that my brother will lose his swordsmanship when he recovers, so I'll let him challenge the main disciples of the Mingjing Shisui Ryu first."

A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the Eightfold Son of God. The monster now was only a remnant soul, but it was able to complete the ritual, which meant that this person intended to gain something for nothing.

But Inazuma's monsters will not harm ordinary people. Even if they temporarily possess a body, they just want to wander around the mortal world for a few days. That's why Arikakusai made the spell public, thus realizing the last Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

This is actually nothing, everyone makes mistakes, and it is normal to want to find shortcuts when in a hurry, but Kato Yohei is too good at calculating, and he still hides some things.

"I thought I caught a petty thief, but I didn't expect to disturb the old nest." Xie Yan said slowly, "Take out the things. Your brother's fate of getting something for nothing is right in front of you. You don't think you can get away with it, do you?"

Kato Yohei was completely desperate and took out something he had been hiding from his arms.

In fact, he had a premonition that Xie Yan, as a god, could see through everything, but seeing that the other party's expression never changed, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

Paimon covered his mouth and exclaimed: "Isn't this the Eye of God? No, the color seems a little strange, and how could the Eye of God be broken?"

The holder of the Eye of God will be regarded as a person favored by the gods. In addition to being able to mobilize elemental power, the Eye of God itself is also a very magical item. It cannot be destroyed by lightning or fire. Even if it is discarded, it will automatically return to the holder.

This is equivalent to another shadow of a person, which is why it is called the crystallization of desire.

Yae Shinko said coldly, "This is a fragment of the evil eye. The Kingdom of Zhidong has always had plans in Inazuma. They obtained the national strategic material of crystallized bone marrow through transactions with the Kanjo Bugyo, and opened an evil eye factory with the help of the other party. Some of the evil eyes were used to give to ronin warriors to disrupt the situation in Inazuma."

"What? So the raw material of the evil eye is crystallized bone marrow?" Paimon looked at Ying quickly, "I remember the righteous man used the evil eye, and so did that young master, but they didn't seem to have any side effects."

Xie Yan explained: "The holder of the Eye of God can have a certain resistance to various energies. The Evil Eye is considered to be of the same level of power, so it can naturally hold on. However, if it encounters the power of the abyss, it will be helpless."

And the matter itself is thus made clear. Kato Yohei obtained a katana and the evil eye fragment during his adventure in Kannazuka, and like his brother, he planned to use this power to become famous.

As a result, he was too weak and had to endure the pain of fighting a man in his seventies. He was also infected with the power of a ghost. Several guys in the same village should have had similar experiences.

Judging from the result, it was all their own fault, but Xie Yan still helped the Kato brothers and the people in the village to drive out the evil spirit.

The power of the evil god can cause too much harm to ordinary people. After all, they are still the people of Inazuma. They haven't done anything bad after gaining the power, so they shouldn't let others lose their lives for it.

Of course, some small lessons were inevitable. Hanasari had the shogunate issue a decree long ago, listing the evil eye as a controlled item. Even fragments had to be turned in and finally destroyed by the shogunate.

These people secretly hid the fragments and according to the law they must be imprisoned for at least three months.

Moreover, Xie Yan has proposed today at the assessment institute that these people in prison be sent to Qinglai Island for labor reform, so as not to waste these great labor forces.

Under his leadership, these matters were quickly carried out. After receiving the news, the shogunate army soldiers stationed in Konda Village escorted these people back to Inazuma Castle.

"Hey, wait, why are there shogunate troops stationed in Konda Village? What new decree have you issued?" Xie Yan asked.

"This is Hanasari's idea. The shogunate army is not in a war right now, so they have plenty of manpower. If we station some of them in various villages, it will make the local residents and caravans feel more at ease." Shen Zi pointed to the newly built arrow tower outside the village. "In this way, even if we encounter monsters, each place can resist them first."

Xie Yan nodded slightly. This was equivalent to a police station.

If it were the Inazuma of the past, no matter if it was a monster or an ambush, someone would have to report it first before they could resist, but by that time the damage had already been done and it would be too late to kill the enemy.

In this case, it would be even more necessary for him to strengthen the equipment of the shogunate army. If enough talismans could be provided, the shogunate army would be able to turn encounters into tower defense battles with their quality.

After mentioning this plan to Shen Zi, she was also very interested in it. However, when Xie Yan said that they could go back to the island to discuss it together, her expression suddenly changed.

"Are you trying to trick me to an outlying island?" Yae Shen Zi looked at Xie Yan suspiciously.

In fact, when Xie Yan came back this time, she was already prepared to refine the weapon. Even if she couldn't get the refinement 1, the refinement 2 should at least belong to her, right?

But the problem was, Shen Zi felt that this lacked a sense of ceremony... She and Ying had been competing for the title of eldest wife for so long, and she had shown Ying her clever schemes many times. It would be too boring if she sneaked away and took Xie Yan.

She wanted to capture Xie Yan in front of Ying and achieve a killing spree!

Yes, Yae Shenzi was very confident about this. How could a diamond player lose to an iron player? It was impossible for Ying to hire a king-level player to level up, right?

Of course, this was also due to the fact that she was not prepared.

Even though he talked tough, when it came to actually going on the field himself, the Son of God got scared again.

This made Yingmei next to him shake her head repeatedly. What a shame! She originally thought he was a king, but turned out to be just a bronze!

If she were given this opportunity, she would definitely let Xie Yan see what a female knight is!

Ahem, Ying was just making an assumption, she didn’t want to have a party at all!

With this thought in mind, Yingmei followed the Son of God and Xie Yan to the desolate sea again.

This was mainly the work of Xie Yan. He simply combed the veins of Inazuma's land and gathered all the energy in the desolate sea area to prevent monsters from being born again in other places.

However, changing the direction of the earth veins would take time. He estimated that the swordsmanship masters he wanted would be generated in the desolate sea by noon tomorrow.

This is actually not just the use of earth veins, but also includes some of the power of death of [Hell]. However, it cannot truly resurrect the dead, it can only create an empty shell. The effect is a bit like the Ruler of Death next door.

This was also the power of a follower that Xie Yan wanted to assign to the Son of God, but this guy’s defense was too low. After agreeing to meet again tomorrow, he left in a hurry. Xie Yan could only take Yingmei back to the island by himself.

Ying saw a lot of Inazuma customs today and completed half of the legendary mission. She was very satisfied with the improvement in exploration level, but when night fell, she couldn't help but apply to join the online game.

There’s nothing we can do, it’s all due to the influence of the grass element patterns!

The impact of the emperor-class beast of burden was still powerful, but this time Xie Yan seemed to be intent on creating an automated mode, allowing Xin Hai to learn to function on his own.
