"Yes, it's about an inheritance. I have to go to Liyue to get the notarized certificate first, and then go to Xumi. Anyway, it's very complicated. With my current status, I might even cause some diplomatic conflicts."
Kamisato Ayato looked much more serious this time, but he was not worried that Xie Yan would be bullied by Xumi...Among the seven countries, the armed forces of mankind are certainly important, but if a real fight breaks out, it will depend on the strength of the gods.
The reason why Liyue is so powerful is due to the war god Morax and the immortals. The god of Xumi passed away five hundred years ago, and there is no news about the new god who succeeded him to the outside world. Everyone only knows that he is called "Little Auspicious Grass King" and lives in Jingshan Palace.
There may be some secrets in it, but Kamisato Ayato can say with certainty that the gods of Xumi cannot defeat their own thunder and lightning generals, and the City of Wisdom cannot withstand Wuxiang's sword.
What he was concerned about was another matter, which was a document that he had prepared in advance today.
Kamisato Ayato leaned forward slightly and asked seriously, "Are you sure you want to go to Liyue?"
"Has anything happened in Liyue?" Xie Yan thought he was talking about the ceremony of inviting the immortals.
But Kamisato Ayato took a document from the desk and gave it to Xie Yan. It was a pile of sorted information. It looked a bit old and the paper was a little yellowed.
"What is this?" Xie Yan flipped through it. The information looked like notes or work logs.
Not to mention diaries. Diaries in games are just a form of expression. After all, no serious person would write a diary.
Kamisato Ayato introduced: "This is the news about your parents. Don't get me wrong, it's not that the community magistrate has any ulterior motive. We have the duty to comfort the people. Some people need special items, so we will write them down. I found this because I accidentally discovered it when I was sorting out your information. I picked it out because I thought it might be useful to you."
Xie Yan didn't care about these things. He just glanced at the notes carefully and frowned: "Spiritual Phenol Incense... I remember that this is a specialty of Xumi. It is a prop for scholars to practice in the forest. It can make people calm down. The description above says that my father's mental state is very unstable. Has he been buying spiritual phenol incense?"
"This was recorded by my father's staff. Although the person involved has been dead for many years, the information should be correct. I later asked your parents' neighbors and they all gave the same answer. In addition, they said that your mother mentioned the [Curse], which is why she fled to Inazuma. If you return to Liyue, you must be careful."
He didn't say anything extra. It is not a good thing to be a know-it-all.
Xie Yan put away the information thoughtfully and said sincerely, "Thank you very much."
Well, he knew that the task given by the system would not be that simple. [Searching for relatives] is not just a simple matter of recognizing a sister. There is a new main line hidden in it. Moreover, the introduction to his identity background also mentioned that his parents had extraordinary identities but chose to settle in Inazuma. Obviously, there was something wrong.
Damn, don’t tell me that this bloodline ability will be unknown in old age!
Imagining the scene of himself covered in red hair, Xie Yan shuddered and took the document mentioned at the banquet from Kamisato Ayato.
However, he did not understand government affairs, so he just took a cursory look and then left it to his civil servants to handle.
After chatting for a while about their ideas about the island, the two walked out of the study.
Kamisato Ayaka had been waiting outside for a long time. When she saw the two of them come out, she came over with some sobering tea.
"Tons, tons, tons."
Xie Yan was indeed a little thirsty, so he picked up the tea and drank it, which made Kamisato Ayato's mouth twitch.
This is the hangover tea that my sister carefully prepared. Can't you savor it as if it were a work of art?
Kamisato Ayato picked up the teacup, took two sips gently, closed his eyes and thought carefully, savoring the tea, showing his elegant temperament.
The next second, he heard his sister's praise.
"A warrior should drink tea in this heroic way."
When he opened his eyes, he saw his sister gently taking the teacup from Xie Yan, her blue eyes sparkling.
He seemed to be thinking about something, and quickened the pace of drinking his tea, gulping it down in gulps, waiting for his sister's praise.
Kamisato Ayaka looked at him in surprise and said, "Brother, why are you in such a hurry to drink tea?"
A critical hit!
The water from his own fountain was already attacking his front tower, and the brother-in-law couldn't hold it any longer.
However, Kamisato Ayaka was not hypocritical. She was really curious about why her brother suddenly became anxious. After she finished speaking, she suddenly laughed and said, "Brother, you finally acted more naturally. I always felt that you were hiding something from me before."
"Oh, forget it, I don't care." Kamisato Ayato suddenly waved his hand and walked towards his room, but before he disappeared, he turned back and said to the two of them: "Don't chat too late, we have to get up early tomorrow to go to the island."
77 The Other Side of Kamisato Ayaka
The brother-in-law left with a look of despair on his face, which made Xie Yan want to check his mental state.
Kamisato Ayaka gently played with the silver hair by her ear and said rather embarrassedly, "I feel like my brother has some misunderstandings about us."
"Well, if I were him, I would probably think so too." Xie Yan understood his brother-in-law very well. If he had such a cute and gentle sister, he would definitely become a sister-con.
After returning to the house with Kamisato Ayaka and putting away the teacups, the two of them walked out of the room tacitly, crossed the corridor and came to the garden.
The bright moonlight poured down, adding a touch of elegance and nobility to the silver-haired girl beside her.
Looking at the starry night sky, Xie Yan broke the silence: "Actually, I wanted to say hello to you that day, but I was too tired and the atmosphere was not right. I hope I didn't scare you?"
"No, no." Linghua waved her hands quickly. "I felt that something was wrong with you at that time. But speaking of this, I was scared when you challenged the general."
"It surprises you, doesn't it?"
"No, although I was frightened, I wasn't surprised, because the last time we met you said that you had found your answer."
"Well, since neither the general nor I are good at speaking, it is better to speak with the sword in our hands rather than empty talk."
The two of them strolled in the garden. The flowers and plants here were obviously carefully cared for by Kamisato Ayaka. They looked pleasing to the eye. The breeze blew, and the faint fragrance of flowers floated in the air.
Even though she had already imagined herself strolling in the garden with Xie Yan in her mind, Kamisato Ayaka did not have that shy and sweet feeling at this moment.
She has a heart as pure as ice crystal. To outsiders, she is the virtuous Princess Egret. But to herself, in addition to being a cute and gentle girl, she also has the persistence of a warrior. Therefore, even after obtaining the Menkyō Kaiden of the Kamisato Ryu, she still worked hard to practice.
The ancestors of the three magistrates were all recognized by General Raiden for their bravery, and this honor was also passed down in their blood. At least she believed that the Kamisato family had always been like this.
Xie Yan's words aroused the biggest question in her heart. She paced with her hands behind her back and asked, "Then, Xie Yan, why did you dare to face the might of Lei Ting at that time?"
Although she was not afraid of the challenge, her opponent was the god who controlled the creation and destruction of thunder, and Kamisato Ayaka found it difficult to muster the will to fight.
however.
"I have my reasons for challenging General Lei Dian, and I also shoulder everyone's expectations. But if it is about facing the might of thunder, I don't think too much about it." Xie Yan walked to the martial arts training ground, his eyes swept across the swords beside him, and then he turned around and said, "I have the answer, I have the direction, and I feel that I have a chance to win, that's enough."
Kamisato Ayaka originally thought that Xie Yan would tell her about his long journey of heart, but his answer was unexpected.
But she soon realized that thinking too much would make the sword dull.
At this moment, the girls who were originally planning to take a slow walk under the beautiful moonlight and express their thoughts to each other suddenly lost interest.
The scene of walking hand in hand and dancing under the sea of flowers in her mind was very beautiful, but at this moment, she wanted to show Xie Yan a side of herself other than "Princess White Egret" and "Girl Linghua".
"Please wait a moment." Kamisato Ayaka suddenly bowed slightly to Xie Yan, then left quickly.
When the girl came back again, the kimono on her body had turned into a skirt armor. She pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword and slowly drew out the black and purple interwoven katana. There were cloud-like patterns on the blade after it was recast.
Kirikiri's Return of Light!
"Kamisato Ryu, Kamisato Ayaka." The girl's gentle voice sounded from the other side. As soon as the words fell, snowflakes condensed by the element of ice fell gracefully.
Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Kamisato Ayaka as if he was getting to know her all over again.
If his previous friendly attitude towards Kamisato Ayaka was only due to his good impression of the game character "Kamisato Ayaka" and the beauty and temperament of Ayaka's wife herself, at this moment he was truly attracted by this girl who was dancing like a white crane in the snow and wrapped in the cold frost.
"Tianmu Liu, thank you."
The projection was activated, and the most familiar Tenmoku Kage katana appeared in his hand.
Although it might seem a bit unromantic to practice martial arts with a girl when the moonlight is just right, he felt it was a good thing to get to know another side of Kamisato Ayaka.
When recalling this night many years later, Kamisato Ayaka believes that for her, it was like the frost on the tip of a sword and the light flowing on a sword, a turning point with a strong sense of destiny.
.....
The next day, early in the morning.
The sunlight refracted through the curtains, and Xie Yan slowly opened his eyes.
He glanced out the window. It was probably around seven in the morning.
In fact, considering the distance between the island and Kamisato House, it is already very late to set out at this time. If you row a boat there, you won't arrive there until night. However, Xie Yan and Kamisato Ayato, the two magistrates, don't have to worry about anything, as the cargo ship loaded with supplies had already set off last night.
Of course, in order to protect the safety of the community bugyos and civilian volunteers on board, Kamisato Ayato contacted the Tenryo Bugyo before the cargo ship set off and sent a team of soldiers to escort it.
Xie Yan didn't ask much about it. After all, this was the work of the society, and his brother-in-law always did things flawlessly, so he didn't need to worry about it.
Compared to these, the fight with Linghua’s wife last night was unforgettable.
Xie Yan called out the system panel and opened the swordsmanship skill tree.
[Secret Sword. Mist Cutting (5%)], [Kamizato Style Swordsmanship (72%)], [Shooting Hundred Heads (45%)]
The dynamic vision granted by the Sharingan can capture every detail of the enemy's movements. Sasuke used it to replicate Rock Lee's physical skills during the Chunin Exam. For Xie Yan, who has higher all-round attributes, just last night's competition has made him improve his proficiency in Kamisato's swordsmanship. He has basically figured out Kamisato Ayaka's... swordsmanship.
This was because he had mastered his brother-in-law's swordsmanship through the projection of Ha Rangetsu Bai Jingjin, but the Sharingan's ability to learn martial arts was indeed a bug. However, subsequent improvements had to rely on himself, because Xie Yan estimated that Kamisato Ayaka's level was around 80%, which was considered successful in swordsmanship, but not perfect.
As for the secret sword, Mist Cutting, it originated from the katana Mist Cutting Huiguang.
The weapons of the continent of Teyvat are not like the treasures in Fate that have only one owner. Naturally, they will be handled by different owners in the process. That’s why Xie Yan was able to learn the two schools of Keitsu-ryu and Kamisato-ryu from Hatangetsu Haku Keitsu-ryu.
The Kirigiri wielded by Kamisato Ayaka is a broken and recast version, but it can still sense some of the inheritance of the original owner. It is a "fast sword" similar to Tengu Tsou.
Xie Yan has now begun to shape his own swordsmanship style. There is no need to complete this incomplete inheritance. Just use it as a reference. His improvement in shooting hundreds of heads is also because he can learn by analogy.
"The sword skills won't be able to improve the overall performance of Shooting Hundred Heads. After all, this is Uncle B's martial arts style. There are other weapons skills as well. But with just the slashing sword skills, I can already achieve the same output as when dealing with scattered soldiers at a relatively low cost."
The disadvantage is that it still takes a long time to read, unless Xie Yan can fully integrate Shooting Hundred Heads into his own swordsmanship style.
"Imitating other people's martial arts will eventually be limited. Only by becoming strong yourself can you achieve the truth." Xie Yan realized this.
He needs to integrate hundreds of martial arts and forge his own path... But before that, there is another important task today that requires him to accomplish by shooting hundreds of heads.
After stretching, Xie Yan got out of bed, but as soon as he opened the door, several maids waiting outside came up to him enthusiastically and helped him change clothes and wash up.
These services are actually as he should receive. After all, he is now the Lord of Kanding. If he goes to stay overnight in another family, those bureaucrats who claim to be big shots will probably want their wives to sleep with them. To say the least, they will at least send a few smart and beautiful maids to warm the bed. If he likes someone, he can bring her home.
After lamenting the luxury of today's life for a while, Xie Yan followed the maid to the main house.
Kamisato Ayato had already ordered people to prepare breakfast. When he saw Xie Yan coming, he extended his hand and gestured for invitation.
"Why don't you see Linghua?"
"I still want to ask you."
The elder brother-in-law stared at him like a grudge: "You and Linghua didn't chat until very late yesterday, did you?"
"Brother, you misunderstood. We just wasted time taking a shower." Kamisato Ayaka walked in from outside the door.
78 Stepping onto the ladder of adulthood
Compared to yesterday, her eyes now seemed brighter, reminding Kamisato Ayato of a girl in love.
But what do you mean by taking a bath?
Xie Yan quickly explained, "Linghua and I practiced martial arts last night and sweated a lot, so of course I need to take a shower."
Kamisato Ayato knew that this was a misunderstanding, but she couldn't help feeling sad when she saw her cabbages being taken away by others.
"Let's eat first, and then we'll get on the boat from the pier near Kamisato Yashiki."
"Huh? We're going by water? It'll take a long time to row there."
"Don't worry. I have already found two holders of the Eye of the Wind in advance. With them, we will catch up with the cargo ship in no time."
What? Can you still play like this?
Xie Yan had asked Xiaolu to do this before, but he didn’t expect that he could hire someone specifically to do this. It really is different when you have money.
Although he had already received an advance of 300 million yuan in salary for one month and recharged it into the system, Xie Yan still didn't dare to spend a penny.
"By the way, in this case, please put me down first when we get to Bayun Island. I have some things to do."
...
The southwest corner of Bayun Island.
Evil eye factory.
The location here is in the "Snake Bone Mine" on the Inazuma map. The terrain is concealed and it is convenient for the Fatui to mine crystallized bone marrow and conduct experiments and production.
Of course, as the cooperation with Shinsuke deepened, the Fatui no longer needed to mine it themselves, as large quantities of crystallized bone marrow would be delivered to them regularly.
However, the situation in Inazuma changed too quickly during this period. First, the two executive officers, Lady and Sanbing, were seriously injured and the other disappeared. Then, Shinsuke, who provided them with supplies, was executed by General Raiden, causing the operation of the Evil Eye Factory to come to a standstill.
"Luckily the Doctor is here. I had the honor of working under him for a period of time in the Kingdom of Winter. The Doctor's wisdom is comparable to that of a god. I heard that he even studied at the Academy of Teachings. Ha, the Xumi people are really short-sighted."
"Not only is his wisdom comparable to that of a god, but in terms of military strength alone, Master Doctor is also capable of securing the position of the second executive officer. It's just that every time I see Master Doctor, I feel a little strange."
"But why did the Doctor suddenly gather all of Inazuma's Faints here? And why didn't the Lady come? Paulenka, you called us here, do you know what's going on?"
The one called Paulenka is a marine warrant officer of the Fatui. He looks like Thunder Hammer, but is more muscular. Previously, he was in charge of the liaison work with the executive officers.
Glancing around at nearly a hundred colleagues, Baolianka explained, "A shrine maiden from an island came to me. She showed me the doctor's mask and letter, and asked us to ambush the shogunate as a surprise force."
He was very clear about the overall strength of the island, and they had no right to force the Doctor to make a decision, but this action was indeed strange. Now even the Fatui knew that Xie Yan ended the war with the artifact, which meant that General Lei Dian had already set his sights on this matter.
To put it another way, the person in charge of the handover is Xie Yan. With the strength of these soldiers, can they stop him?
