Supreme Bishop of Fontaine

Of course, if it was just a simple meeting, Ye could go see her at any time, but for the time being, Ye didn't plan to reveal his identity.

Ye is not bragging, he is quite famous in the continent of Teyvat. If people knew that the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine came to Inazuma, it might cause the entire Inazuma to be highly vigilant. Even General Lei Dian might come to his house and kill him immediately if he knew about it.

For General Raiden, although the Traveler is a variable, she doesn't care too much about it, because the power gap between the Traveler and General Raiden is too great, and he cannot pose any threat to General Raiden's eternity... Although it is precisely for this reason that Yae Shenzi can use Ying's attitude of both contempt and interest in the Traveler to complete her plan.

But it’s different at night.

First of all, although Ye is indeed not as strong as General Lei Dian now, he is definitely not at the level that can be despised by General Lei Dian. This alone is enough to make General Lei Dian want to kill him, not to mention Ye's reputation.

Ahem, of course, Ye is not saying that his reputation is very bad, but rather, his reputation in foreign countries is indeed a little bit bad, and he is self-aware of this.

Of course, don't get me wrong, it's just a little bit.

In short, that's it. Although it's just a slightly bad reputation, just in case, it's still necessary to strictly prohibit the exposure of one's identity.

See, not exposing the photos is indeed useful. Now I’m using it.

The evidence is that Ye himself went to Yaedo to submit his work, but no one recognized him at all.

Safety.

Basically, on that day, the novel he wrote fell into the hands of Yae Shinko.

"It's truly a rare light novel!"

After watching it, Yae Shinko couldn't help but be amazed.

Not to mention anything else, just the opening that directly fictionalized a different world was enough to surprise her.

She could not help thinking of the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine.

Inazuma...or in other words, many light novel writers of Teyvat are limited to using the continent of Teyvat as the background of their novels. There are very few works with an imaginary world view. Even for the few that exist, the background settings are not clear, and the plots are not very attractive, so they are completely unable to become popular.

But the Supreme Bishop was different. The three novels he passed down to Inazuma were all set in a fictional world. The settings in the books had nothing to do with the continent of Teyvat, and the world view settings of each book were very complete.

In this case, the plot of his novel is extremely imaginative, which makes people attracted into that strange world when reading it.

Because of this, his works are extremely popular.

Even though Inazuma has closed off his country to the outside world, there are still businessmen who smuggle his novels out of the country, which shows how popular they are.

In recent years, there have been light novel writers who have tried to imitate the style of the Supreme Bishop and perfectly create an alien world background to write their novels, but all of them can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

This is a kind of common sense constraint. When light novel writers set up the power system, they always cannot avoid the common sense they have been accepting since childhood since they lived on the continent of Teyvat.

For example, the most basic thing is that because they have the power of elemental forces, it is difficult for them to imagine how to set up a power system based on non-elemental forces.

Common sense limitations like these make it extremely difficult for novelists to create a fictional alien world background.

It's not that there aren't any, but there are traces of Teyvat everywhere, which can only be described as unsatisfactory.

Only the Supreme Bishop was able to smoothly set up several completely different world backgrounds, and then write wonderful stories based on them.

——But now, someone has created a world with a complete setting.

Moreover, the story begins with the image of a god that is completely different from the continent of Teyvat. Both the setting and the plot are fascinating.

In the minds of most people in Teyvat, gods are omniscient, omnipotent and supreme beings.

It is an existence that cannot be touched by mortals.

But in this book, the gods gave up their omniscience and omnipotence, allowing people to experience life from the perspective of humans, and even gods who live in hardship appear.

In order to live in the mortal world, the gods bestowed the power of "God's Grace" on the children of the underworld, and established a clan with the children, and jointly wrote the clan myth between the gods and the children - this background setting can only be described as awesome by the people of Teyvat.

In addition, this story also made Yae Shinko's eyes light up.

Unlike Yaedo's current light novels which are basically the same old thing, the approach of this light novel is truly amazing.

The final battle between the protagonist and the Minotaur made her blood boil.

Words like karma and destiny were added little by little by the author to this battle, which made it impossible not to feel excited and moved by the transformation of the protagonist, especially since he was rescued by the heroine last time, but this time he refused the heroine's help. Instead, he became completely aware of his unwillingness because of the appearance of the heroine, and chose to risk his life to fight alone... He is obviously just a naive teenager, but he is really too manly in this plot.

Sadly, the novel ends here.

Yae Kamiko really wanted to continue reading, but this was all there was to this volume.

This volume is actually quite a lot. If it were any other light novel writer, it would be enough to publish three volumes.

No, from the plot point of view, this is probably the content of three volumes, just merged together.

"Interesting, is it to become famous in one battle?"

Indeed, even Yae Shinko has to admit that the effect of these three volumes released together is definitely much stronger than releasing them one by one.

But... he's really confident.

Besides that, there is also the author's pen name...

Yae Shinko smiled and looked up at the sky in the distance where lightning and thunder were flashing.

Inazuma's current situation cannot be changed. Although she wants to stop it, she is helpless until a variable appears. The eternity that Ying has painstakingly created is not so easy to break.

Yae Shinko has been waiting for this change for hundreds of years. It was not from the time General Raiden decided to close the country and issue the Eye Hunting Order, but from the time she never saw Ying again. She has been waiting for hundreds of years.

Yae Shenzi is very clear about the current situation outside, but her decision will not change. She will continue to wait. Apart from this, she has no better way.

But... she had a feeling that this change was about to happen.

After reading this light novel, her premonition became even stronger.

"Ye... the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine Cathedral..."

"Is it just a coincidence, or did the Archbishop of Fontaine really write a book in Inazuma using his real name?"

"If it really is him, then what is the purpose of this?"

"Want to get my attention, to talk to me? With his power, why would he be so roundabout? Couldn't he just come directly?"

"So... you don't want to reveal your identity, but you still want me to know that he's here with Inazuma?"

Yae Shinko was guessing in his heart, and then at the same time he walked down the mountain.

"What his purpose is...is not important at all."

"What's important to me now is that he's a variable enough."

"It doesn't matter what he wants to use me for, as long as I use him in return."

"That's fair."

"And as long as it's fair, there's no problem."

"But, of course, before that, I have to go and confirm it myself...whether this is just a coincidence or not."

Thinking of this, Yae Shinko suddenly smiled sweetly.

"Oh, that's really interesting."

So, let’s see whose method is more sophisticated.

Chapter 73 Bishop vs. Palace Master

"You must be Mr. Ye, you are so handsome."

"Palace Master is also very handsome."

At the agreed meeting place, Yae Kamiko, the editor-in-chief of Yaedo, met the new light novel writer who was bound to be a big hit.

As soon as they met, she couldn't help but squint slightly.

"Come to think of it, when I first saw your pen name, I was quite taken aback. You actually chose the same name as the legendary Archbishop of Fontaine. You're quite audacious. Even though this is Inazuma, and we're in isolation, if it were the Archbishop, he'd still come after you."

Ye's face was calm, and he replied without any disturbance: "Oh? The legendary Supreme Bishop of Fontaine is actually called Ye? This is the first time I've heard of this. As expected of the Palace Master, he even knows such a secret matter."

"This isn't really a secret. If you ask carefully in Fontaine, you can easily find out."

"I didn't expect that the Palace Master actually had people stationed in Fengdan. He's truly worthy of being the Palace Master."

"Haha, it's not like I've planted any agents. I'm just a little curious about the Supreme Bishop, so I sent someone over to inquire about him. Anyway, before you publish the book, do you want to change your pen name?"

"Of course it has to be changed. After all, he is a foreign figure as high and mighty as the Palace Master, so we have to be a little cautious."

"So, what pen name would you like to change to? Do you want me to help you come up with one?"

"No need to worry, Master Palace Administrator. I've already thought of it. Let's call her Ying."

"Ying...what a good name, what a good name."

"What's so good about it?"

"I heard that the traveler whose name is known to all nations is called Ying."

"Is that so?" Ye frowned. "But it shouldn't matter, right? Inazuma is now in seclusion, so it shouldn't be possible for her to come to Inazuma, right?"

"It's hard to say. He's a traveler after all."

"Well, now that I think about it, it's hard to say. If it was that famous traveler, even if he broke the news and made Inazuma break out of her isolation, it might not be surprising."

Yaejinko narrowed her eyes fiercely, her smile growing even more charming, her heartbeat accelerating. "Yes, after all, he's a traveler who has solved various problems in both countries. Perhaps it's really possible. But I think that if it were the Supreme Bishop, he might be able to do the same thing. It's just a pity that he doesn't seem to have any reason to do so."

"Of course not. One country's isolationism will also affect another. How can you say that Inazuma's isolationism has nothing to do with Fontaine? I think the Supreme Bishop might be thinking about how to resolve the Inazuma issue through diplomacy."

Ye and Yae Shenzi looked at each other and said lightly:

"But even if he wanted to, it would be useless. After all, the General's will cannot be changed by ordinary people. Although the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine is said to be as powerful as a god, he obviously means nothing to our General of Inazuma."

"Power doesn't tell you anything. Is it because of his power that the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine inspires fear in other nations? I think the important thing is that even if Inazuma's isolationism truly did affect Fontaine, the Supreme Bishop wouldn't become an enemy of the General and interfere in Inazuma's affairs simply for that reason, would he?"

"Then, Lord Palace Administrator, what reason do you think the Supreme Bishop would have to interfere in Inazuma's affairs and become an enemy of the Shogun?"

"For example..." Yae Shenzi turned his face forward, across the table, and faced Ye. They were so close, their eyes met, and he exhaled softly and said, "Heart of God?"

Feeling the orchid-like breath of the Eightfold God's Son on his lips, Ye's heart was calm.

This was just a small amount, not enough to make him feel uneasy, so Ye's tone remained as calm as ever: "What is the Heart of God? I've only heard of the Eye of God. Is there any connection between the Heart of God and the Eye of God?"

There is a truth in this world, that is, force is mutual.

Naturally, in turn, when Ye spoke, his breath also touched Yae Shenzi's lips.

Instead of seeing the reaction she expected, Yae-san, who was outmaneuvered, felt a slight ripple in her heart, but only a slight one. Her expression remained unchanged as she distanced herself from him again, smiling sweetly, "It's normal that you don't know. The Eye of God is an external magical organ for mortals, and gods don't use such low-level magical organs. Instead, they have the Heart of God, a magical organ that can connect to Sky Island."

"What use does the Supreme Bishop have for the Heart of God?"

"It doesn't seem to be of much use, but I heard that the Ice Queen of Solstice really wants the Heart of God from another country. If I can get Inazuma's Heart of God, maybe I can strike a good deal with her. Or maybe, because I don't want the Ice Queen to get the Heart of God, I'm collecting it in advance. Isn't that possible?"

"But the Heart of God is in the hands of the General. Even if it's the legendary Supreme Bishop, does he have the ability to snatch the Heart of God from the General?"

"Well..." Yae Shenzi tilted his head and smiled: "If the Supreme Bishop can find me, then maybe he can trade directly with me for the Heart of God?"

Ye picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said softly, "Perhaps it is true. It's a pity that I don't know if the Supreme Bishop can come to see you, Lord Palace Administrator. By the way, aren't we here to discuss the publication of the light novel?"

"Haha, indeed, I accidentally talked about some insignificant things."

Yaejinko chuckled softly:

"Mr. Ye, oh no, Mr. Ying, regarding this light novel you wrote, I want to talk about your plan for the next plot."

"Actually, there's not much to talk about regarding the plot. I'll just say this: the relationship between the protagonist and Niu Mei is far from over. They'll fight again in the future."

"Oh? Cow Girl means the Minotaur, right? Isn't he dead?"

"As the true heroine of this book, how could she die so easily? The monster's soul will reincarnate in the dungeon, and Niu Mei's soul will also be reborn. And like a few monsters called heretics, she will be reborn with her most profound memories and aspirations. And her memories, her aspirations, are to fight the protagonist again."

"Ohhhh, just hearing this makes me feel so excited..."

In the Mulou Teahouse, various discussions about light novels continued slowly, and the previous chat topics were never mentioned again until the end of the meeting.

Chapter 74 Worth pondering

The response to version 1.5 was enormous.

Not to mention the remakes of Venti and Tartaglia, as popular characters of Genshin Impact, their remakes are welcomed by both new and old players.

Especially Wendy.

New players did not catch up with the Wendy pool, while some old players who are fans of Wendy but do not have the money to spend too much at one time finally saved up enough primogems and wanted to draw a constellation.

The same goes for Tartaglia. Although he is not as good as Venti, he is at least much stronger than Albedo's pool.

Well, even if it is a remake, there is still more water flowing than Albedo’s pool.

However, this is only secondary. Even the activities of the Wind Flower Festival and the Pure Water Wish are secondary.
