People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 514 Lin Feng: Din won't do anything unnecessary unless he craves true "death".

"Phew, it's been several days, and I can still feel the chaotic aura of the elements. The commotion on Inazuma's side is really quite significant."

"."

"However, as expected, the wine here is still the best, sir. I will definitely come to Liyue to visit you more often when I have time."

In front of the teahouse at Huyan, next to the table on the viewing platform.

He uttered two completely unrelated sentences in a very natural tone.
A green-skinned liquor bottle let out a burp, frantically pouring more liquor into its glass while simultaneously casting its gaze towards the southeast of the harbor:
"It won't be easy to collect all the power of the Inazuma sisters. My friend told me about the general plan before."

"Sigh, if the situation over there weren't so unusual, I might have been able to help a little."

As one of the gods in Teyvat most adept at sensing information, Wendy has been paying close attention to the various developments on Inazuma's side lately.

The turbulence when the water elemental authority was activated, the disturbances when the lightning elemental severed the ley lines, and the dark aura that covered the entire country and then quickly dissipated.
It's easy to imagine how many people would be drawn to the turmoil over there. Wendy had to admit that Lin Feng's ability to create a big stir was truly far superior.

"You have more concerns than others. After all, from your perspective, the anomalies of that land cannot withstand too much interference."

"If it weren't for my young friend's ability to resolve everything, someone would have already stepped in to stop it."

Selectively ignoring the fact that the drunkard in front of him had secretly poured his own wine into his glass, Zhongli felt a pang of emotion at the current situation:

Inazuma is a very special land, which is exceptionally isolated for most gods.

If it's true that while the twins' other half is still alive, they can still have normal exchanges as neighboring countries,
But after that upheaval, they lost their former God of Thunder.
Not only is the ideology of the current rulers gradually approaching "natural law," but the "fate" of that country has also been anchored long ago, no longer allowing any interference.

"Well, we won't go there on our own until the right time comes."

"But it's not the first time anyway, so no one can stop him from doing what he wants."

"If I had to say, the worst-case scenario would probably be a sharp increase in the number of people working overtime."

He understood that with that kind of unreasonable power, there was practically no problem on Teyvat that his friend couldn't solve.
The once seamless "fate" system had already been thrown into chaos when he arrived.

But if at the very beginning, the ruling party was probably hesitant about how to treat this new arrival,
Now that we've reached this point in time...

The power to decide the fate of the world has long been handed over to our friends.

"Speaking of which, I remember you said, Grandpa, that you would help him find that Floating Yaksha after he came back, right?"

"Quite a few people have left Liyue, old man, don't you have any other thoughts?"

“I remember when we first met, this place was much more lively than it is now.”

He put down his wine glass, slowly stretched,
As if it were an unintentional, casual remark, Wendy turned her gaze to the old man in front of her.

"This time of year may not be a good time."
This was especially true of my old friends, those who had spent most of their lives on the battlefield.

"However, if the right time comes, I might give it a try."

His tone remained calm, and his expression showed little change.

But to Wendy, there was a particular heaviness in those words.

It is clear that even the Kanria catastrophe five hundred years ago was far from devastating for Liyue, so issues related to the past have always been avoided.

But as long as "memory" is not completely forgotten, as more and more laws come together, everything that has been submerged in time may still have a chance to change.

"Hmm, that's true."

"Even I wouldn't be happy to be woken up at this time, since work is a troublesome thing just to think about."

I deeply agree with the view that the present is not a good time.

Wendy even wanted Dvalin to cover for her so she could sleep in until her friend solved all the problems.
I've never longed for others to become stronger so quickly, to the point where nothing can stump them.

Wendy turned to look in Inazuma's direction, sincerely hoping that her friend could, in the process of becoming stronger, also resolve some problems that would normally be hers to handle.
"Hmm? The wind is 'blessing' me. What strange thing is Wendy doing now?"

"Even if it's just a guess, it's probably related to drinking and slacking off."

Inazuma Castle, Fuchigami Sweet Shop, courtyard and corridor.

Lin Feng, who was chatting with the person in front of him, paused slightly after sensing the change in the wind element, wondering what Wendy was up to now.

Unlike a certain reclusive girl who relies almost entirely on her eyes for reconnaissance, Mondstadt, this lazy, drunken girl, is at the other extreme, finding people in other countries with remarkable accuracy.

Although it's generally normal for him and Wendy to communicate or greet each other via the wind,
But for nonsensical messages like "Good luck" that are unclear today, he could only assume that Wendy was drunk again and pondering some abstract thing.

"."

"Never mind him, just continue."

“I know Dain is looking for you right now. He helped defend the village before, which was a way of covering for those shogunate soldiers.”

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, you probably want to ask me how to 'deal with' him?"

The aftershocks of the previous invasion have gradually subsided.
Having probably received numerous invitations to meet with Dain, Sora took the initiative to come here.

As a travel companion who had journeyed together five hundred years ago, Kong knew very well that Dain's fighting strength was far greater than most people expected.

Revealing the plan to Dain could easily cause unforeseen circumstances, but if someone of his fighting prowess firmly stands on the side of "fighting the abyss,"
Although it may not have much impact on the outcome, it is definitely an issue that cannot be ignored.

"In reality, those who actually attacked Inazuma City this time were just cannon fodder made up of the remnants of filth. It doesn't matter how many we kill." "But Dain has been hunting down your order for hundreds of years, so he is indeed very experienced in dealing with apostles."

Understanding Kong's true concerns, Lin Feng also knew that the "Sword of the End of Light" could kill an ordinary Abyss Apostle in just one or two moves.

Without the intervention of the Abyss Prince Kong, the Order members alone would find it difficult to deal with him.

"After all, he's someone you know. You probably don't want me to completely 'kill' Dain."

"However, I think you don't need to be so troubled. Judging from his previous actions, he should be able to guess what you're going to do."

He examined the incomparably dazzling purple Heart of God in his hand and responded to Kong's question.

He figured that this Abyss Prince, like Dain, probably couldn't forget the time they traveled together five hundred years ago, so he was a little flustered by concern.
Lin Feng shook his head and shared a piece of information extracted from the earth's veins with the empty space in front of him:

"This is the number and types of monsters he has killed before. His record is roughly the same as that of a slightly stronger holder of the Eye of God. Compared to his true strength, this is not even a perfunctory statement."

"You don't need to worry that he will do everything he can to help the gods, nor do you need to worry that he will have any real influence beyond finding you."

"—Although his guess about my identity was slightly off, as a descendant of Kanria, he knew very well that the 'Curse of Immortality' was something that could be easily crushed by power beyond a certain level."

“I don’t think he would willingly come to accept death until his own obsession is fulfilled.”

I've seen Dain proclaim himself a "Nibelung" in front of the blond-haired guy more than once.
While it may not be entirely wrong to call oneself the "King of Dragons" at this point in time, it can only be described as a lucky accident.

But regardless of his true identity, after meeting Kong several times, Dayn must have realized that the Order was now under his command.
However, if he excessively obstructs the organization's actions, then he must be prepared to confront the forces behind the organization.

Whether it's the Dragon King or the Descendant, the more you know, the more hesitant and timid you become.

When it was determined that the "curse of immortality" was not worth relying on,
Dain's behavior speaks volumes about his attitude towards his life and his purpose in coming here:
—I'm just confused about the changes here and want to find some time to ask for an explanation.

'.'

"It was my oversight. Indeed, he had something more he desired than death, and he wouldn't be too reckless at a time like this."

"I will meet with him at an appropriate time."

"I think even if I don't say anything, as long as he understands that this was indeed the work of the cult, Dain will stop those actions that disrupt the plan."

I finally discovered the source of that sense of unease in my heart.
After Kong had completely processed Dain's actions in his mind, he was no longer worried about any negative impact from him.

—In his memory, Dain always acted with impunity when targeting the cult.
Even in the most dangerous environments or in any country where a god resides, he shows no fear, which often gives the religious order a major headache.

But ever since he learned that the cult had abandoned its original plans and had acquired a new superior, his actions suddenly ceased to be mere verbal attacks.
During this long period of time, there were no further records of casualties among the apostles or even the mages of the order.
"So, this is actually because his actions are no longer reckless; he is wary of this power that he suspects he possesses."

There was a feeling of being hindered by past habits, but now the barrier had suddenly been broken through, and the anxiety of emptiness vanished without a trace.

Knowing full well that Dain had something she needed to accomplish, she would never easily give up her life.
Therefore, when faced with beings that transcend those "shadows,"

The decisions he can make now are actually quite limited; he can't hunt down the apostles as recklessly as he imagines.
"Heh, it's not that complicated. It's just that you've been dealing with him for so long that you've overlooked his true motives."

"Moreover, after collecting the authority of the God of Thunder, there is no need to pay special attention to the obstacles that Dain can pose when facing a mimic god who has superimposed the power of the abyss and complete authority."

The final enemy's strength is set based on the standard of a shadow uniting the will of a nation, and Dain's role in it is extremely limited.

Even if he really intends to make his move, at most it will be before the civil war of the "God of Thunder" that the gods of the abyss will deliver a thoughtless blow to the troublesome guy.

"."

I finally understood the inconsistencies in my old friend's actions and wanted to say something more.
But before he could speak, he heard the incredibly loud commotion outside and couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of the street:

"Is this... targeting the dismissal and arrest of officials?"

"While it's true that the Inazuma army's combat capabilities are poor, the scale of the capture operation is so large. Could this create a vacuum during future invasions?"

Naturally, they could clearly hear what the people were discussing, and they could also see the groups of shogunate officials being escorted through the buildings.

While in Canria, I had encountered similar purges targeting state officials and organizations before.
But even if layoffs are implemented, it depends on the circumstances.

The monsters in the surrounding wilderness have been relentlessly attacking, and the already volatile situation could escalate further if the existing officials are dismissed.
"As expected."

"When you catch one rat, it's hard to ignore the swarm that gets caught along with it; and when you catch a group of rats, it's inevitable that you'll implicate even more accomplices."

"Many people can choose to temporarily turn a blind eye to evil deeds because they are useful, but the gods of Inazuma are clearly not among them."

Based on the number of people outside, it was discovered that the Tenryo Magistrate's Office had been almost completely purged from top to bottom, and the Kujo family was estimated to have very few members remaining.

It's clear how furious those dealing with such problems, accumulated over decades, will be when they all come to a head.
Lin Feng felt that the fact that only a small number of people had been cleared out and that no one had drawn their swords and killed them on the spot was already quite tolerant of the otaku girl.

"Let's slow down the invasion of Narukami Island for now and give them some time to recover their fighting strength."

"It's just the right time to use the rampaging monsters from the outside world to relocate people from outside Narukami Island to this place."

"I have stored the divine power that Dahuang brought back into the Heart of God for preservation. All preparations for the final plan are complete, and waiting a few days is not a big deal."

He knew he couldn't expect too much from this homebody, after all, he hadn't changed the people in the Order of the Church one by one.

Being able to recognize that Inazuma has problems is already a big step forward.

Perhaps only through such a thorough cleansing could Ying, amidst the frantic, all-night work he himself had done, truly begin to come into contact with everything about the common people.
