"I was so scared, I almost thought the hero's debut was going to turn into a bad ending."
Lin Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to the side, where lightning was flashing.
Wherever the lightning struck, all the machinery shattered into pieces.
Clarinde walked calmly among the machines.
Seemingly judging that Clorind posed a greater threat, these machines disregarded Navia and turned their attack on Clorind.
Clarin held her longsword upright in front of her, her steps still light and slow.
The mechanical blade, imbued with lightning, swept across, sending bursts of lightning hurtling towards Clarinde.
Claudia easily dodged the attack with a mere sway of her body.
The next moment, it appeared behind the machine and severed its head and core.
"Wow, that's awesome!" Lin Qiu clapped and praised.
Having such a strong teammate made Lin Qiu feel no tension at all.
Lin Qiu gently placed Navia on the ground, then stood up, his fists itching to fight.
Lin Qiu took out a knife from the Eye of God space, even though he was following the path of a mage.
But for a college student, it's still good to carry a sword or other chivalrous weapon, just in case you need to show it off sometime.
Gripping his longsword, Lin Qiu flashed to the nearest machine in a few movements.
He struck a pose, then swung his long sword horizontally, aiming straight for the mechanical head!
This strike had no technique involved, it was pure power!
With a clang of metal striking metal, Lin Qiu's longsword struck the opponent with little effect.
He had been diligently training his elemental power, and what he exchanged through the system was stamina, not strength.
This meant he lacked the strength to break through the opponent's defenses!
Fortunately, Navia was unconscious at the time, and Clarinde was dealing with the remaining machines, so no one saw it.
"Ahem, that doesn't count."
Lin Qiu casually waved a water shield to block the fireballs fired by the opponent, then created some distance and reposed.
Fireballs pelted the water shield, but Lin Qiu pretended not to see them.
The front leg steps forward with a slight bend, the upper body is slightly arched, the knife is sheathed, and the hand grips the hilt.
"Water breathes, gathers forms, and flows endlessly!"
A water dragon coiled around the longsword. Lin Qiu swung the sword, and the water dragon bit off the mechanical head first, followed by the longsword slicing through unimpeded.
"I am terrifyingly strong now."
Lin Qiu deftly sheathed his sword, looking as if his swordsmanship was invincible.
However, the opponent was a machine, and although its head had been blown off, it was still attacking Lin Qiu.
Lin Qiu casually made a pistol gesture and fired a water bullet that pierced the opponent's core.
Anyway, we've finished pretending and had our fun, so there's no need to keep messing around.
"This thing still works well."
Lin Qiu glanced in Clorind's direction; the battle there was almost over.
The ground around them was littered with broken machine parts.
Looking at Navia's side again, there were also broken parts all around, and the number was no less than that of Clarinde's side.
After all, Navia fought until she was exhausted, while Clarinde clearly still had energy left, but the machines had all been killed.
Lin Qiu made a rough estimate and concluded that if he were surrounded, he would probably perform worse than Navia.
Although he had better elemental control and physical strength, he was completely outmatched by Navia in terms of power and skill.
If faced with a similar siege, Lin Qiu would find it difficult to find an opening to counterattack like Navia.
“I still need to practice.”
Lin Qiu sighed. He felt invincible when he was diving, and even thought he was already extremely strong.
"Are you alright?" Clorind asked as she walked over.
Although his tone remained indifferent, one could still sense his concern.
"It's alright, Navia is just unconscious."
Lin Qiu naturally assumed that Clarinde was asking about Navia's situation.
Clarin looked Lin Qiu up and down, and seeing that he had no obvious external injuries, she nodded and said nothing more.
Clarin walked over to Navia and picked her up in her arms.
"Should I take her home first, or wait for her here?"
"Let's send her home first, but to my house. We'll send her to the Rose Society after Navia wakes up."
Lin Qiu handed the key to Claurind and gave her instructions.
As he spoke, Lin Qiu even made the water dragon split into a miniature water snake, which wrapped around Navia's wrist like a bracelet.
The snake's head bites its own tail.
This little water snake will slowly restore the missing elemental power in Navia's body using elemental energy, allowing Navia to wake up quickly.
Lin Qiu asked Claurind to go to her house first because she was afraid that sending the unconscious Navia directly to the Rose of Thorns would worry Miles and Silver.
Anyway, everything's fine now, so there's no need to worry them anymore.
Navia will make arrangements for today's events after she wakes up, and she will also explain the situation to Miles, Silver, and the others.
Claudia nodded first, then asked in return, "And you?"
"Go and fulfill my promise to her," Lin Qiu said matter-of-factly.
Since we agreed to help Navia find evidence today, how can we go back on our word?
As a Liyue native, Lin Qiu stated that he has a strong sense of contractual responsibility, and those who break their promises should be punished by being eaten by rocks.
Well, as a half-Liyue person, Lin Qiu doesn't actually believe in the [Contract] that much.
Lin Qiu simply knew that this matter was very important to Navia.
As the search area has been narrowing over the past few days, the remaining area is not large.
Even without a boat to pick him up, Lin Qiu felt that his physical strength was sufficient.
Anyway, all he needs to do now is find Vasher's factory; he doesn't need to go inside and explore it.
The exploration will have to wait until later, once the exact location is found, Navia will go and sue Marcel (Vasher).
Once Marcel is confined to the opera house, then we can explore and search for evidence.
At that point, Marcel won't be able to escape!

Character Voice Line - Lin Qiu: About the [Contract]
"I don't believe in the God of Contracts. I just think that people should keep their word. After all, once a person makes a promise, it is a promise."
Chapter 40 The eyepatch is a pirate's genetic inheritance
Lin Qiu went to sea to find Vasche's factory.
Meanwhile, the others began watching another of his masterpieces—"Love and Teyvat".
The first story is about Kaeya, one of the starter Pokémon, 'The Peacock Feather Chapter: Pirate Treasure'.
Upon seeing this title, Ying immediately adopted an "I knew it" expression.
I told you this guy was a pirate! And sure enough!
Kaiya himself could only manage a wry smile.
It seems my plan to use the Traveler's Apprentice for fishing is about to be exposed; I'll have to come up with another plan to catch the thief.
"Sigh, it seems I need to revise my plan to catch the thief. Even if I tell the traveler there's treasure now, she won't believe me, will she?"
“Why don’t you just handle it yourself?” Diluc said.
“Since we can solve the problem anyway, why not use a less strenuous and more fun method?” Kaiya said with a smile.
"..." Diluc fell silent. He always prioritized efficiency, but his sworn brother was the complete opposite, only caring about results.
"That's why I said your Knights are slow to act." Diluc finally mocked the Knights.
The story of the 'pirate's treasure' is actually quite simple.
However, it was just that Kaeya told the Traveler that his grandfather had a treasure map and asked the Traveler to go and find it.
"Actually, my grandfather was a pirate!"
"Look, this eye mask was passed down from my grandfather."
This is why Beidou still hasn't been able to buy the book in Inazuma.
Otherwise, she would have laughed heartily and invited Kaiya to sit on the ship and chat about the topic of 'genetics'.
Diluc glanced at Kaeya indifferently and said in a flat tone:
"Your grandfather was a pirate? How come I didn't know that?"
Kaeya, unusually, didn't refute Diluc, but instead smiled.
"Maybe it really is, I've never even met him."
Diluc remained silent.
He knew Kaiya's secret and that Kaiya was actually a very conflicted and self-blaming person, so this time he unusually refrained from criticizing her.
Silently, he placed a bottle of wine in front of Kaiya and said, "After you finish your drink, get to work. Don't slack off."
Kaiya laughed; he'd managed to get the drinks he missed out on last time.
At this moment, another person present widened his eyes. This person was Barbatos, the wind god who regularly spawned in the tavern.
"Huh!?" Wendy was shocked. Could this really be done?
“Boss Diluc, I’ve never met my grandfather either,” Wendy hinted.
"..."
It would be strange if you'd seen it before, wouldn't it?
In the book, Kaiya is still boasting about his grandfather's achievements.
It is said that he used a divine sword to kill the 'Silver-haired Serpent Demon', the 'Eight-Headed Sea Serpent', and the 'Abyss Evil Dragon'.
This is why Ocel is still sealed away; otherwise, one would think Morax already has a grandson.
After boasting for a while, Kaiya finally revealed his purpose.
[“A group of treasure hunters has been very active recently, and artifacts have been stolen from several historical sites.”]
"If they discover it, that divine sword..."
As the saying goes, the onlooker sees most of the game, and Ying finally understood after reading this far.
The truth of the story is not the point; the point is the treasure-hunting group!
If you were to talk to Kaeya face to face, you'd probably be so focused on the story's veracity that you'd overlook the existence of the treasure-hunting group.
Those who play tactics have dirty minds!
Paimon, however, still didn't realize the problem and reacted much like in the book.
"That won't do. It's better for us to..." Paimon said.
She wanted to keep it for herself.
"Hehehe, that's so me!"
