People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 505 Lin Feng: Fate is indeed performing as consistently as ever.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, a major incident has occurred in the Haiqi Island region; an incident has occurred there."

"—Stop talking nonsense. I can see what happened. Tell me the valuable information your informant brought you."

"."

"I'm sorry, madam, our informant within the resistance has not recorded anything further."

"Aside from the fact that they took the dragon lizard and resurrected all the dead, the memory of that previous incident seems to have vanished into thin air."

The sinister Evil Eye Factory stands on the seaside cliffs in the southwest of Bayun Island.

The members of the Fools stood trembling and bowed to the side, their dereliction of duty so serious that they could hardly stand up straight in the face of the powerful aura of the executor.

".snort"

With a cold snort, the white-haired woman, wearing a black crown and mask, did not fly into a rage as the communications soldier had imagined. She seemed to have expected all of this, and simply showed an expression of "I knew it."

"Ha, I knew it. Even the two of us couldn't remember it, so how could ordinary soldiers possibly have any results?"

"This powerful opponent seems quite challenging. Perhaps I can go and find him once I've recovered from my injuries."

"I wouldn't mind giving Her Majesty the Empress one less foolish executor, especially you, Datalia."

"If you really decide to disappear, then compared to dying like an insect, I have plenty of ways to make you realize your final value."

His attitude was cold and harsh, showing no courtesy whatsoever to the young master who was still wrapped in bandages.
I've had enough of this idiot who's always disappearing and then shows up knocked unconscious.

Her only reason for not throwing this guy into the Evil Eye Furnace was the Queen's order and the fact that she and he were both Executors.

"I'll leave aside the fact that the traveler knocked you out for now, but it's astonishing that even an old, rudimentary device wandering in the wilderness could leave you in this state."

"If you are truly so confident in your strength, then you can try to snatch the Heart of God back from that general, instead of dying here at the hands of an elemental dragon that came from who-knows-where."

I have absolutely no faith in this idiot whose mind is filled with nothing but challenges and fighting.

From this method of silently erasing everyone's memories, Rosalind could clearly tell that the creature that appeared here was likely several times more powerful than the wind dragon that crushed the "Doctor's" slice.

"They took all the dragon lizards and then 'resurrected' all the dead."

"Resurrection. Ha, it's just some kind of trick, just like countless times in the past."

He shook his head, sealing his slightly wavering heart back into solid ice.

Throwing oneself into the grand cause of becoming Empress, one can probably only imagine the current situation being most familiar to one of one of one's colleagues.
After a moment's thought, she took out the communication device that she had used just a few days ago and decided to have someone explain the information he had obtained in exchange for the slice.

"An elemental dragon has appeared in Inazuma? And it's a 'water' elemental dragon at that? Rosalyn, are you sure your intelligence isn't flawed?"

"However, you're not that muscle-bound guy next to me. Considering the situation is so bad that you actually contacted me, it's probably true."

The projection of the test tube, swaying, emerged from the void and, as usual, mocked the person next to it who had become the least popular topic of conversation among the executives.

In any case, it's ridiculous to be defeated by mechanical puppets wandering in the wild, and Dotole certainly wouldn't let go of such an opportunity to kick someone when they're down.

"Your memories have been erased, all the dead have been resurrected, and dragon lizards are now willingly following you."

"The last piece of information is indeed one of the proofs of the elemental dragon's identity, but the first two are not things that can be easily dismissed."

"Considering the issue of the environment in which it was conceived, the identity of this 'Water Dragon' should be questioned."

Having recently read many records about elemental dragons, Dottore's understanding of these beings has greatly improved.

However, based on the secrets he knows, the elemental dragon capable of such a feat is likely not so simple in nature.
"Hmph, whatever that is, such an unknown variable will greatly hinder the achievement of the Empress's grand plan."

"Right now, you're the only one who's ever faced something like this. After that one failure, I don't believe you're planning to just sit here and wait to die the next time you encounter an elemental dragon."

"."

"Oh, of course not."

“But the power of intelligence has its limits. I don’t think you two have the ability or the need to fight against this kind of thing.”

He paused slightly.

Dotole showed no mercy when his colleague exposed his shortcomings.

Even ignoring a vague suspicion in his heart, he was still certain that if all the power of the Inazuma Fatui were poured into it, they wouldn't even be able to scratch the opponent's scales.
Not wanting to waste his energy on something that would have absolutely no result, he looked at the woman who was clearly losing her composure and finally offered a more practical suggestion:

"As wielders of elemental authority, elemental dragons and gods don't always have a harmonious relationship. Their appearance may not be a bad thing for your actions."

"Compared to you who are hiding in the shadows, the forces that are in the open are the ones that need to be dealt with more right now."

"I will tell you how to increase the production capacity of the Evil Eye."

"If you want to create chaos and make your actions easier, you can spread the Evil Eye among the people and speed up your original plan."

"As for making contingency plans or simply confronting this enemy, my advice is not to have unrealistic dreams."

"You don't even have the right to remember the other person's features, so you don't need to think too much about it."

Although the remaining fragments were not very optimistic about the clown in Mondstadt, thanks to his sacrifice, they were able to get a general idea of ​​the elemental dragons' power level.

It's certain that the real headache right now belongs to the gods, who sit high on their thrones.
His two colleagues were too weak; they weren't even qualified to have the other party take action personally.

Since I wasn't there, I can't verify my suspicions.
Dotole recorded the information that "the Water Dragon appeared in Inazuma" and prepared to report this information, confirmed by the two executives, as the truth for the time being, to the "clown" who had been researching something recently.

"Lord Kujo, something strange has happened on Kaiji Island."

"According to our inside informant within the resistance, the legendary 'dragon' seems to have appeared there."

"But the other intelligence is far too vague and has little practical value. Should we report this information to the General?"

On the east side of Nashiina Beach, the Shogunate army camp. They were equally confused by the intelligence before them.

For a moment, they even suspected that the fact that this report about "the dead coming back to life" and "the appearance of a giant dragon" was in their hands meant that someone had switched the letters of their secret agents.

However, given the unusual celestial phenomena and the vague sense of oppression that had gripped Haiji Island some time ago, even those here could feel it.
Faced with such a huge change that could affect the entire war situation, no matter how unbelievable it seemed, the intelligence officer still gritted his teeth and delivered the information in his hand to his general.

"."

"The planned military operation is to be postponed. The intelligence should be verified and left for the Grand Master to review. It should not be treated so lightly."

"The rumor that 'a water-controlling dragon has appeared on Haiqi Island' is also widely circulated among the pirates we've captured. If it's true, then we must consider how this will affect our operations."

Having recovered from his injuries thanks to the Tengu's regenerative abilities, he was originally planning his next offensive.
But when Kujo Sara discovered that the information before him had already spread widely even among the pirates,

While deciding to report it to the general, she suddenly worried that it might cause some unexpected reactions among the people.

Several days later, Inazuma Enkai's fluctuations in the laws completely dissipated.

I'm not worried that the increasingly outrageous rumors might cause trouble for the real "water dragon."
Lin Feng recalled the rumors about Inazuma Castle that he had gleaned from the wind, and felt that the information was so exaggerated that it had no real impact.
"Phew, it's finally done. Although it took more effort than I expected, the results were quite considerable."

"However, how did the rumors escalate into such absurd things as 'the Sea Dragon King is enraged and will flood the entire Inazuma region' and 'soaking in water has a chance of turning you into a dragon lizard person'?"

Although at least I didn't see any abstract stuff like "offering young boys and girls can avert disaster,"

But Lin Feng felt that if these rumors were allowed to continue, they would likely turn into horror stories that parents used to dissuade their children from playing in the water.
"Speaking of which, Sora should have taken those two prospective employees somewhere else by now."

"The elemental fluctuations at that time were too intense; probably no one around me could withstand them."

After surveying the deep ocean, they tried their best to restore the empty surroundings to their original state.

After letting Xiaobai the Waste Recycler devour the giant seaweed in the distance, Lin Feng located Kong's current position and decided to go find Chiyo, whose body had been successfully reconstructed, and the Puppet Sword Demon, which was given as a gift.

"Where am I?"

"."

"I think I had a very, very long dream, the content of which..."

A moment later, in an open area next to the snake bone mine.

Lin Feng stood beside Kong, looking at the ghost girl's body that had regained its vitality, and helped her soul and memories return to their rightful place.

The Grass Element Authority itself also possesses a portion of life attributes, and now, after resonating with the Water Authority belonging to Navelette, it further strengthens the original power of both parties.

The restoration of life, soul, and memory has almost no shortcomings.

After coordinating all the modules, Lin Feng looked at the slightly trembling eyelashes beneath Chiyo's Crimson Demon Horn and decided to let her complete this final step on her own.

"The purpose of this trip is about to be achieved, and there will be no further setbacks."

"But you asked me to bring this puppet along, as if you had anticipated this?"

From the beginning, it wasn't clear why they brought that aging mechanical puppet; they only suspected that it might be related to the resurgence of the demon race.

But now that he has arrived in the area where the agency often lingers, and looking at the "memories" that have been gathered from the earth's veins, Sora discovers that the connection between the two may be far closer than he imagined.

"More or less. This magic puppet is indeed not as simple as a mere mechanism. The technology it uses is quite unique. I don't know how it came to be in Inazuma."

"Since you started going out much earlier than your sister, you should be quite familiar with everything from five hundred years ago."

"Based solely on your impression, what do you think of the Inazuma homeland after the Kanria disaster?"
Given the technology available at the time, how would one create a mechanism that encapsulates all the memories and swordsmanship of a master swordsman and could operate for hundreds of years?

I had anticipated this when I first heard it from the Divine Child, and later events confirmed my suspicions.

Lin Feng looked at Kong beside him, wondering what his answer would be.

"If it's about enabling machines to carry everything that belongs to a person and to perform combat capabilities no less than when they were alive, such technology would be a top-secret even in Kanria. I don't think Inazuma could have developed such technology so easily back then."

"If we take into account all the failures of subsequent imitations and the vague descriptions of key technologies..."

He bowed his head in deep thought.
It seems they finally realized something.
His thoughts had been drawn to "mechanical technology" from the very beginning; he paused slightly, then instantly understood what he had overlooked:

"I see. You probably noticed that from the beginning."

"This isn't some kind of magical puppet; it's merely a vessel for 'spells.'"

Over time, after hundreds of years of erosion, the original sword demon in front of me no longer had any remaining runes. My attention would immediately be drawn to the exposed mechanical joints.

But these things are ultimately just insignificant disguises; the real driving force and the secret of integrated memory that have supported its activities for hundreds of years are far more important.
"—If I'm not mistaken, this is essentially a soul vessel forged using special methods."

"And the soul atop it is the missing swordsman you mentioned earlier, 'Miyuki Michiki'."

I have seen similar things before. Even before the Curse of Immortality, the means of prolonging life were not an extremely rare technology in Kanria.

Having bypassed his long-standing blind spot, Sora looked up at the silent, mechanical puppet standing in front of him, which could receive "treatment" as if it were a living being. Most of the doubts in his heart were finally resolved.

"."

"To entrust one's soul to a mechanism in order to climb to a higher peak of swordsmanship, such a desire is indeed in line with the identity of a swordsman."

"If he hadn't accidentally killed his 'mother,' whose appearance had been altered by the abyss due to the sluggishness of his mechanical body, and indirectly inherited that nightmare, perhaps Inazuma would truly have produced another remarkable master."

"."

He gleaned the cause and effect of everything from the ley lines and the remaining memories, explaining it as if he were giving an explanation.

Turning around, Lin Feng looked at Chiyo, who had opened her eyes at some point.

Thinking back to when the other person finally fell into the nightmare, drawing their sword against the "beast" to save their child, but after escaping Wuxiang's attack, they were tragically killed by their own eldest son, causing the son to lose control.
He shook his head slightly, feeling that fate on Teyvat was indeed performing as consistently as ever.
