"Forget it, then you handle it yourself. Take good care of yourself first. I'll go find Zao You and ask her to help investigate and determine the implementation." She put the empty medicine bowl on the table, poured another glass of water for Xie Yan and placed it on the bedside, then turned and left.

After she left, Xie Yan had no choice but to call out the system menu because his body had not yet recovered the ability to move.

The first thing to do was to look at the newly generated data. The task interface [Defeat the Fatui Executor] had been completed and the lottery was over. The skills, equipment, and personal attributes updated his current status.

[Iwazo-style swordsmanship (140%)], [Seven-layered rings of blazing sky (60%)], [Shooting a hundred heads (40%)].

His swordsmanship of Keitsu-ryu and Isshin-ryu also improved, but this is due to his personal expertise so I won't go into details.

"I can understand that the Chrysanthemum Shield and the Hundred-Head Shooting Skills have been improved, but it's amazing that the Yanzang-style swordsmanship can be further improved." He guessed that the description, the stronger the will, the more powerful the swordsmanship, came into play.

Then there are the equipment, this one has an activated Avalon that grants the holder immortality, eternal youth and a rapid healing effect.

The system wasn't so tricky as to set up a money-charging factor here, but Xie Yan studied it carefully and found that his Avalon belonged to the ubw version. The blood recovery function was normal and the magic power consumed was not much, but it was impossible to instantly repair the heart like FZ.

The heart was able to recover this time mainly due to the power of the Heart of God injected by the Eightfold Son of God.

Finally, there are the personal attributes. Not only does the blue bar increase, but he also has an additional bonus of [Divinity: B]. However, I don’t know if it is a problem with the temporary version, and his description is very general.

[Divinity: At this time, you possess some of the characteristics of a god, are immune to instant death damage, and all attributes are improved. 】

"Part of the qualities of a god?"

Xie Yan waited for his body consciousness to gradually return, but after getting out of bed and moving his body around, he didn't feel anything special about himself.

It would be difficult to get an answer to this question even if one asked the Eightfold God Son. Xie Yan thought about it and decided not to worry about it.

Xie Yan came to the mirror and looked at himself. Thanks to Avalon, he did not have any scars and was still as handsome as before, except that he was suddenly dressed in different clothes.

Change clothes...

Xie Yan's face looked a little strange.

When I walked out of the door, I saw the shrine maiden Maki standing outside, and opposite her was Genfuyu Ringo, who was in charge of drawing lots.

Xie Yan remembered that Xuan Dong Ling Qin seemed to have a mission, but he, an old hand, had never touched it. He only remembered that his group friends said that this mission was related to the Fatui.

Hey, could this guy be a ghost?

And at the moment when he looked around, Xie Yan was slightly startled, and seemed to hear someone's voice in his mind.

"Ah, he actually came out of the palace chief's room again. Come to think of it, it seemed that the palace chief carried him back in a princess hug yesterday."

"Tsk tsk, does the palace official know that he has a close relationship with the girl from the Naganohara family? Zaoyou said that he took the same breast wrap as her."

Xie Yan frowned slightly. He clearly didn't see anyone speaking.

He tried to look at Gendong Ringo and the other priestesses again, but this time there was no sound, as if everything before was an illusion.

Even his heart was repaired out of thin air, so Xie Yan believed that he would not suffer from auditory hallucinations.

He made note of this anomaly in his mind, and then went to find Yae Shinto to say goodbye.

"Be careful today. I need to prepare the rituals for the Shinzaku purification and body reconstruction with Hanasari. Don't get hurt again."

"Don't worry, don't worry. If you get hurt again, I'll pledge my love to you."

Xie Yan’s words choked Yajyou Shenzi, and he could only watch him leave with a puffy face.

37 Human Heart

Xie Yan walked out of the Mingjin Taisha Shrine and went down the steps.

Perhaps because the Thunder Sakura Tree incident ignited the "national sentiment" of the Inazuma people, more and more people are now visiting the shrine.

As for the content of the visit, it is basically to hope that the war will end soon, let life return to normal, or to pray for family and friends.

In the eyes of most Inazuma people, the biggest factor for the current rise in food prices is still the war. If there were no war, there would not be such heavy taxes and high food prices, and countless families would not be torn apart.

This inevitably made them resent the rebels, but they didn't know that the real reason for the sudden increase in life pressure in Inazuma Castle was actually the Tenryo Bugyo who was closest to the Shogun.

In fact, many low-level soldiers of the shogunate army did not understand the situation, and the resistance army was used from beginning to end. They believed whatever the Fatui said and caused havoc on Yamojima and Tamashii Sand, which intensified the conflict between the two sides and made innocent people bear the consequences.

If things go well tomorrow, Xie Yan's next step will be to end the war.

But he knew very well that the island side had not achieved the desired results, and even if the Eye Hunting Order was gone, they would probably not be willing to cease fire. After all, a ceasefire would mean returning to the days of being restricted by the shogunate, which would only lead to a slow death.

But what to do specifically, whether to convince Xinhai or to sleep with Xinhai, Xie Yan didn't have the mind to think about these. He just wanted to find the last piece of the puzzle in his mind as soon as possible.

Walking on the stairs under the torii, Xie Yan seemed to hear the sighs of nearby worshippers.

"No... No, it seems like it's another auditory hallucination?"

Xie Yan heard someone saying that the Thunder Sakura Tree had been repaired and had regained its ability to suppress evil spirits. He also heard someone discussing the changes in the terrain at Kamnozuka. These were not a big deal. The key point was that he also heard some criticisms of the Takagi family and the Matsukawa family, as well as some... rather embarrassing sexual intercourse between couples.

The wife dragged her reluctant husband to pray, hoping that he could regain his vigor every day. However, the husband thought that he just didn't get into the right state and needed to find some spellcasting materials to sharpen his skills before the battle.

This was sarcastically described by his wife as "the only thing that is tough in my body is my mouth."

This is a bit outrageous. It is normal for politicians to have conflicts with their families, but it is impossible to talk about it in such an occasion.

He felt more and more that something was wrong, but when he listened carefully, there was no sound again.

"Could it be related to that part of the divine characteristics?"

This was all Xie Yan could think of. It was not surprising that the gods could listen to the voices of their believers.

"Wait, if that's the case, I should be able to feel the power of vows like Yingmei, or even better."

Xie Yan nodded slightly, and then he would go to take a look at the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue later.

"No, let's go to Tenryo Bugyo first. Regardless of whether we fight tomorrow or not, the news from Sasaki is very important. Otherwise, if time passes, Shinsuke might have dealt with the dirty tricks."

Although Tianling Fengxing has its own special interrogators, Kujo Sara probably won't hand this matter over to anyone else. She herself is too upright, so Xie Yan feels that he has to do it himself.

Thinking of this, Xie Yan quickened his pace, ready to fly over first with the help of Lei Ji.

At this time, Xie Yan was more cautious. He had been deeply defeated in the previous battle, let alone something like the Wings of Wind.

Oh, by the way, before he set off, he also took a look at his remaining equipment. He didn't know whether it was because he was too excited at the time and exerted too much force or because the quality of the equipment was not up to standard, but the evil eye he snatched from the Nobushi was broken into pieces and he placed it in the system space as a souvenir.

"We don't need this thing anymore. What we are using now is the Heart of God."

Just as he was thinking this, Xie Yan subconsciously used the elemental power of lightning to attract Lei Ji, but his body directly turned into lightning and shot out at once.

"Is this the effect of divine power?"

The power of the Heart of God is residing in Xie Yan's heart. On the surface, his mana has only increased temporarily, but when he makes a move, he already has some divine power.

With a thought, he used the power of lightning element to wrap his whole body, and indeed achieved free flight, leaving a long purple trail in the clouds.

He tried it and found that he could adjust the output intensity to achieve an effect similar to "releasing magic power".

Wow, my current configuration is pretty cool!

In this way, traveling became an easy matter, and soon he arrived at the residence of Tianling Fengxing.

But Xie Yan felt a little uncomfortable that this pretentious way of traveling was not noticed by anyone. On the way, he had already thought about how to answer when asked about Huahong's flight!

When he walked in, he found that the Tianling Bugxing were practicing for tomorrow's military performance. After all, the general was coming to inspect, and everyone wanted to be in the best condition.

It was only after a while after he entered that several teams stopped to rest.

Inoue wiped the sweat from his forehead and chatted casually, "By the way, do you know that Captain Xie Yan and an executive officer named Sanbing had a fight in Shenwuzuka? Now the northwest corner of Shenwuzuka is connected to the Nashitan Beach. Although it can't be compared with the general's splitting of the Wuxiang Blade Gorge, it's not something that can be done by human power."

"When I heard the news yesterday, I rushed over to take a look overnight, and it was true. The seven sword marks on the ground were so scary. It turns out that Captain Xie Yan is so strong." Uesugi gestured with his hands, his expression very excited.

"Speaking of which, this battle is because we are investigating the Kanjo Bugyo for colluding with the Fatui and reselling important national materials. I never thought that the Kanjo Bugyo would be so dirty. This is simply a betrayal of the faith of Narukami."

"Yes, Master Kujo Takayuki was also extremely angry when he heard about it, and was about to send Master Kujo Sara to inspect the magistrate's residence and question him."

Xie Yan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard that. Kujo Takayuki was more anxious than he thought. He wanted to overwhelm Shinsuke with swift and decisive action. He didn't know if he had learned any dirt on Shinsuke from Sasaki.

At this point, Xie Yan could only go to Kujo Sara to find out what was going on.

As he walked along, Xie Yan attracted a lot of people's attention this time, just like a star who suddenly appeared on the street. A large group of people surrounded him and asked him about the details of yesterday's battle, followed by countless praises.

But this is rather embarrassing. Although most people do admire his strength, a few people don't think so.

He heard the inner voices of these people. Some people thought that he had a classic "bloodline awakening" and inherited the legacy of his ancestors, which was in line with the idea of ​​Inazuma bloodline theory. Some people thought that he relied on the power of the evil eye. After all, there were traces of thunder elements at the scene, and he did not have the Eye of God at all.

Xie Yan wasn't angry. He was cheating in the first place, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about admitting. The main thing was that the superficial praise from these few people was the most disgusting, as if they couldn't wait to become sworn brothers with him.

Just brothers on the surface, right?

After walking around in this crowded place, he finally learned how to turn on and off the believers' voices, and he quickly turned it off to avoid embarrassment.

Walking through the corridor, Xie Yan arrived at Kujo Sara's office.

"Thank you Yan!"

Kujo Sara was stunned for a moment, then rushed over and hugged him without thinking.

She hugged Xie Yan's back with both hands, hugging him tightly, as if Xie Yan would leave her in the next second. Xie Yan originally wanted her to relax first, but when he saw the tears in the corners of Sara's eyes, he stopped talking.

He knew Kujo Sara's character very well. One could imagine the psychological pressure he would be under after being left behind in yesterday's battle, not to mention having to worry about the tedious affairs after returning.

And...no one can resist Black Slime.

Oh, it's the big black slime.

"Calm down, I'm fine now."

"Was it that fox...Yae-miyaji who cured you?"

"That's about right. Let's not talk about that for now. I heard some news when I came here just now. Are you going to survey the Fengxing Mansion?"

Kujo Sara nodded and recounted in general what happened when Xie Yan was unconscious yesterday.

Just as he thought, Kujo Takayuki thought this was a good opportunity. He used his position to spread public opinion and waited until the news spread throughout the city in the afternoon before sending Kujo Sara to the Kanjo Bugyofu for questioning.

As for Sasaki, this guy is a smart man. Although he confessed some dirty tricks, he kept the important evidence very secret to prevent being suddenly silenced.

"In that case, I will go with you to inspect the magistrate's office this afternoon."

"Forget it. You're seriously injured. You'd better rest for a while."

"No, you've seen how ruthless Shinsuke is. You alone probably can't handle him. Besides, I want to meet him..."

Xie Yan thought that under the current special circumstances, he should be able to find out some secrets of the Kande Bugyofu, so that he could reveal the explosive news tomorrow.

Afterwards, he asked Kujo Sara about the location of Shikanoin Heizo, and turned to Kodeka to ask about the results of the account book.

38 God's Will

Xie Yan was quite confident in Shikanoin Heizo's ability to solve cases. Now that he was doing well, with his help, he would be able to do both well.

But after finding him, Xie Yan realized that he had still underestimated him.

Xiaolu took him to the desk, where in addition to the account books there were also confessions and evidence from yesterday's investigation.

"Captain, I found the account book yesterday as you said. Later, I used it as evidence to threaten Keijiro and Werner, and they confessed everything."

"But these two are just minions. The real mastermind is still the leader of the Kande Bugyo."

"I originally planned to investigate step by step, but after thinking about it, even if I investigated thoroughly, it would only be auxiliary evidence in the end. After all, it only proves that they embezzled taxes from the International Chamber of Commerce, and it cannot prove the transaction between the Kanjo Bugyo and the Fatui."

Xie Yan nodded. This was not wrong. Moreover, due to the influence of the isolation order, the Inazuma people were quite hostile to foreigners, and not many people cared about the situation of the International Chamber of Commerce.

In the main storyline, the Far Country Supervisor clearly expressed his attitude towards the handling fee quotes from foreign merchants.

"So how did you deal with it later?"

"I decided to change my line of investigation and traced back to the Fatui who was in charge of communicating with Shinsuke. He must have left some correspondence... But this guy is very slippery. I took people to look for him yesterday, but he had already escaped."

"Any other clues?"

"I suspect he is still in that residential area. He may be hidden by a spy of the Fatui. Last night I notified a few brothers to keep an eye on him, and asked Jiuqi Shinobu to get information. I will go over and see the result later."

Shinobu Kuki is a member of the Inazuma folk organization "Aratake Faction". Her status in the gang is quite special. She is more like an "old mother" who helps the boss Aratake Ichito to clean up the mess. However, she has strong personal abilities. She once went to Liyue to study law with Yanfei, and obtained certificates in many fields such as cooking and tailoring.

Shikanoin Heizo spread his hands and said, "After all, gangs like them know the news in the market best. Oh, by the way, yesterday, Kuki Shinobu asked me when I could release Aratake Ichito. What do you think, Captain?"

It can be said that Aratake Ichito goes to jail every day, and even Xie Yan is used to it. Jiuqi Shinobu has asked him for help more than once.

I don't know which colleague told this story, but later on, there was a trend in Yaedo of posts like "XXX, you don't want your boss to go to jail, do you?"

But Xie Yan has no interest in Jiuqi Shinobu's figure. He still prefers older sisters like You... Of course, Nashida is an exception.

"It seems that Aradaki Ichito will be released from prison in two days, but are you sure it's okay for Aradaki to investigate this?"

"Captain, are you remembering the Fatui spy?"

"Don't mention it. I will never believe Aratake Ichito's report again."

It was not long after Xie Yan joined the Tenryu Bugyo that Ara Taki Ito reported a Fatui spy to Xie Yan. Xie Yan believed what he said so seriously, but when he went to the place, he found out that the person he reported was the owner of a snack stand, because the other party suddenly took over the shop, but his cooking skills were so poor that he failed several times even when making a pancake, so Ara Taki Ito thought he had ulterior motives.

Araki Ichito had a loud voice to begin with, and his shouting attracted the attention of everyone around him. The snack stand owner was almost irritated to death, and in the end, Xie Yan took his place and sold snacks at the door for a long time before the matter was resolved.
