Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

The layout of this Foundry Palace is very clever. At least Nan Dou doesn’t know why one can take a boat here.

Bai Heng and Nan Dou were taken by Ying Xing on a boat to the entrance of a dark circular hall. The other craftsmen left after entering the Foundry Palace.

At the entrance of the hall, Ying Xing picked up a piece of paper and folded it into the shape of a flying bird. He said something, and the paper doll quickly flapped its wings and flew away.

A moment later, as if an agency somewhere had received an order, there was a landslide-like vibration around the hall.

The circular walls of the hall kept separating and shrinking, and gradually only the base of the hall was left under the feet of the three of them. Light coming in from nowhere illuminated the entire room.

Although there was no vibration, Nan Dou inexplicably felt like he was riding in an elevator.

After a while, Nan Dou realized that the hall he was in was floating on an invisible track, and under his feet was a ball of light as dazzling as a star.

They were like clinging to a meteorite, slowly moving along the celestial orbit, floating above this [sun].

This ball of light kept rhythmically moving and changing, like a talking heart.

It speaks, it really speaks!

Nan Dou narrowed his eyes. Zhu Ming Xian Zhou, the sun... connecting them together made him think of something.

Bai Heng felt a little uneasy and subconsciously reached out and grabbed Nan Dou's arm. Nan Dou turned around and gave him a reassuring look.

Then, Nan Dou looked directly at the [sun] beneath his feet without fear.

Every ray of light from the Sun was dancing, like a turbulent torrent, or like the raging anger that had been suppressed since ancient times, biting, growling, trying to get into his consciousness.

But Nan Dou's will was so firm that that consciousness could not infect his consciousness at all without his permission.

However, Nan Dou saw that Bai Heng beside him looked dazed, so he thought about it and relaxed his resistance.

In an instant, countless scenes were like pages of a book blown to the ground by the wind, rolling madly and pouring into his sea of ​​consciousness: - a tree with no visible boundaries hanging down from the sky, with branches piercing through the starry sky.

——In the vacuum, the ships spewing the light of the sun and the moon were like fireflies chasing after flowing fire, rushing towards the ever-changing flesh and blood, as well as human-shaped birds with outstretched wings...

——Nan Dou heard the roar of the Cloud Chariot and Star Raft before they crashed from the communication earrings, [Protect the Immortal Boat!] [Cloud Riders Win!]...

——The hundreds-meter-tall golden giant strode forward, stretching out its cold iron arms to fight with the giant beast with countless eyeballs, sharp teeth and gelatinous flesh.

——In the sky, the brilliant warriors held spears and longbows that emitted blazing death. The genes of each of them seemed to have been carved and selected, and they possessed strength and beauty that surpassed the current people of Xianzhou.

——What was even more shocking was that they were covered in unnatural flames, as if they were the embodiment of their inner courage and anger. They charged again and again, sinking into the endless darkness one by one, and they never came back...

[…We take this oath and keep it forever!] The light roared like this, ringing in my ears.

Although the scene in his mind was spectacular, Nan Dou was not shocked. Instead, he felt as comfortable as if he had watched an exciting movie.

Bai Heng may not be clear, but he knows it very well. The scene that emerges in his mind is the fairy boat of the past.

During the Three Calamities period, the people of Fengzuo launched a massive attack on the Xianzhou Alliance. Just when the entire Xianzhou was about to collapse, the "Emperor Bow" (Hunting Star God: Lan) stepped forward again, and despite dissuasion, entered the prison deep in the Zhu Ming Xianzhou, and persuaded the imprisoned Sui Yang leader [Sui Huang] to make a deal with it, using his own body in exchange for the assistance of Sui Yang's power.

In addition to him, many people in Xianzhou also followed this method, dedicating themselves to Sui Yang in exchange for powerful strength.

A death squad was formed, and the whole team was wrapped in the fire of the sun. When they flew, it was like riding on clouds, so they were named the Cloud Cavalry.

The reason why they can now recreate this scene in their minds is, of course, because they took a look at the person involved and were dragged into the illusion by him.

Nan Dou was not worried at all, because he had sensed that a person who was as scorching as the sun was nearby.

The development of the matter did not go beyond Nan Dou's expectations. The next moment...

[Everyone! Keep your mind focused and do not look directly at the Emperor!] A voice as fierce as thunder sounded above the hall. Someone slammed a staff on the ground. After a heavy metal hum, an invisible barrier seemed to rise up, quickly blocking the light and illusions that filled the hall, returning the hall to its original quiet state.

Everyone woke up from their confusion. Huai Yan, the owner of the Foundry Palace, the oldest person in the Immortal Boat, and the craftsman among craftsmen, arrived late.

"I had planned to ask my disciple to bring you here to discuss weapons and assistance, but I forgot to cover up this [False Yang], and you two were almost deceived by it. It is my fault, and I apologize to you two."

Huai Yan walked up the stairs that kept appearing in the air with mountain-like steps, and slowly walked in front of Nan Dou.

"I have received General Teng Xiao's request. The war between the Immortal Boat Alliance and the Abundant Evil Creatures is raging right now. Luofu's supply of elixirs has never been cut off. I, Zhu Ming, will naturally not be stingy with the supply of military equipment."

General Huai Yan suddenly paused here, and Nan Dou knew that this situation was most likely to take a turn.

As expected, General Huai Yan said, "It's just that Zhu Ming just helped Yao Qing a few days ago. It will take some time to collect enough weapons. It's better for the two envoys to stay in Zhu Ming Xianzhou for a while. I promise to treat you well."

Bai Heng looked at Nan Dou and signaled with his eyes that he should make the decision.

Nan Dou did not shirk his responsibility and said, "This is related to the battle of the Immortal Boat. We still need to consult General Teng Xiao. I hope General Huai Yan will forgive us."

"It's okay, that's how it should be." Huai Yan smiled indifferently.

Nan Dou immediately contacted Teng Xiao. After the projection was made, everyone found that the background was a strange planet. It seemed that he was supervising the battle personally.

After hearing Huai Yan's words, Teng Xiao waved his hand nonchalantly: "Then you can stay on Zhu Ming Xianzhou for a while. We have Jing Liu and Dan Feng to support us, so the war won't be too difficult."

Nan Dou naturally agreed happily. There were not many opportunities to travel with public funds. If Teng Xiao was not in a hurry, he would not be in a hurry either. This was just the right time for him to carry out his plan.

After hanging up the phone, Nan Dou heard Huai Yan say with some envy: "Luofu Xianzhou has produced many talented people this generation. In terms of martial arts, there is the Chiming Longzun and Yunqi Jianshou, in terms of literature, there is the genius strategist Jingyuan, and in terms of logistics, there is also you, the number one doctor in the Xianzhou Alliance. It is really enviable."

It was the first time that Nan Dou was praised like this. He felt a little nervous after a long time. It made sense that Huai Yan could become a general and also the longest-lived person in Xianzhou.

"General Huai Yan, you are overpraising me. Zhu Ming's forging skills are the most important thing in the hunting journey. If I were lucky enough to get a magic weapon made by General Huai Yan himself, that would be truly enviable."

When it comes to mutual business promotion, Nan Dou is very confident.

Nan Dou and Huai Yan were not completely unfamiliar with each other before. On the contrary, with Nan Dou's special identity and abilities, he had dealt with generals from various immortal boats.

Of course, this was the first time the two met, but they hit it off immediately and chatted endlessly. This... is called skill!

Bai Heng and Ying Xing, who were unable to get a word in, were stunned by this.

I don’t know what was going on between the two of them, but they ended up talking about Ying Xing.

Nan Dou said casually: "This little guy was favored by General Huai Yan. He must be a rare forging genius in a thousand years, right?"

"Not only that, Ying Xing is a rare talent!" General Huai Yan had a proud look on his face and did not hide his love for him.

"If that's the case, then Ying Xing must be very popular in Zhu Ming Industrial Manufacturing Company."

Nan Dou turned his head slightly and asked knowingly.

When asked by Nan Dou, General Huai Yan instantly lost his temper and sighed, "Ah, this has always been a concern of mine."

Ying Xing is a short-lived person, but he also possesses talents far beyond ordinary people.

The people in Xianzhou are also human beings, with seven emotions and six desires. The abilities that Ying Xing has demonstrated now are still within the tolerance of the craftsmen of Zhu Minggongzaosi.

But if Ying Xing continues to show his talent, and even becomes Zhu Ming's "Bai Ye", then Zhu Ming's fairy boat may not have a place for him.

And this time is not too far away, Huai Yan knows this very well.

Even though Huai Yan was a general of Zhu Ming and could order the craftsmen of Zhu Ming's Engineering Department not to bully Ying Xing, there were many ways to isolate a person.

This is not only a contradiction between the Xianzhou people and the short-lived species, but also the result of the game between the various parties. The Xianzhou people will not allow an alien short-lived species to become the "Bai Ye", the head of the Industrial Manufacturing Division, which is entrusted with important tasks.

Perhaps the Luofu Immortal Boat or other Immortal Boats might accept it, but the Zhuming Immortal Boat, which is famous for its forging, would never accept it.

"Hahaha, that's all. General Huai Yan, why don't you think about it from another angle?"

“If you want to continuously improve any skill and reach the pinnacle, you can’t do it in isolation.”

"If Ying Xing can't stay in Zhuming anymore, he can come to Luofu. I can arrange it!"

Nan Dou smiled, patted General Huai Yan on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you so much. I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, just come to me!"

General Huai Yan responded generously. He had been worried about Ying Xing's situation for a long time. Now that there was a possibility of a solution, he naturally felt relieved.

Nan Dou also showed a happy smile on his face. He was waiting for Huai Yan to say this.

The two of them were laughing happily, but they didn't notice that Ying Xing, who had been listening to their conversation, had a strange look on his face.

"Master Huaiyan, don't you want me anymore?"

After all, Ying Xing is only a teenager who is devoted to learning forging skills. When he is excluded, he just thinks it is his own problem and cannot see the interests involved.

Now that he was "sold" by Huai Yan, one of the few people in Zhu Ming Xian Zhou who treated him well, he naturally felt miserable.

Huai Yan looked at Ying Xing who was looking at him with stubborn and aggrieved eyes, and his heart softened. He sighed and said, "Ying Xing, your teacher is a general of Zhu Ming, and there are too many things to take care of. I am destined to not be able to pay attention to you all the time in the future."

"Besides, what Nan Dou said is correct. Forging is like any other path. If you want to reach the pinnacle, you need more experience and more understanding. If you only work behind closed doors in Zhu Ming, it will be difficult to become a master and reach the great road!"

"Even as your teacher, I traveled the universe when I was young and went through countless hardships before I finally acquired the abilities I have now."

Everything Huai Yan said made sense, but how could a child who only believed in logic think carefully about his true meaning? He turned his head and ran out of the Foundry Palace.

“Ying Xing…!”

Bai Heng was calling out from behind him, but he didn't stop at all.

"Godfather..."

Nan Dou nodded to Bai Heng: "Go, don't let that kid do anything stupid."

"I see."

A green light flashed across Bai Heng's body, and he put on light armor and turned into a shadow to chase after him.

Nan Dou felt relieved when he let Bai Heng go find Ying Xing. Who said that a fox can’t be charming unless it has nine tails?

It was not clear whether Ying Xing had been captured by Bai Heng in Nan Dou, but when he saw Huai Yan staring at Bai Heng's back, he suddenly felt something strange.

"General Huai Yan...?"

Huai Yan came back to his senses from his thoughts, looked at Nan Dou's strange eyes, and quickly explained: "I'm sorry, just now I saw a strange set of armor suddenly appear on Ling Qianjin's body, as if it had life. It was the first time I had ever seen it, and I couldn't help but be distracted."

In fact, it was not the first time that Huai Yan saw the kind of armor on Bai Heng. There were many people in Fengrao with such vigorous vitality, but it was the first time he saw one as peaceful and regular as the one on Bai Heng, so Huai Yan did not think of Fengrao people at the first time.

"Hahaha, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the general. The armor on my daughter's body was made by me personally a hundred years ago. My skills are not so good that it actually makes you laugh."

Nan Dou looked ashamed on the surface, but he felt extremely happy in his heart. Being praised in person by a big shot in the forging world is an opportunity that many craftsmen would never have in their lifetime.

"You are too modest. Although your forging skills are not very good, you have created such a forging skill. You deserve to be remembered in history."

"I have never met you before. I only thought you were an expert in medicine, but I didn't know you also did such in-depth research in forging. I really regret not meeting you earlier."

After seeing the [Eternal Armor] forged by Nan Dou, General Huai Yan's attitude immediately became extremely warm, and even the way he addressed him changed.

Originally, the two of them mostly praised each other's business, but now that they had a common topic, they naturally had something to talk about.

As a general of Zhu Ming, Huai Yan was naturally busy with many affairs, but at this time, Zhu Ming Xianzhou and Fengraomin had just finished a great battle and happened to have some free time.

Huai Yan didn't think twice and immediately pulled Nan Dou into the forging area of ​​the Foundry Palace to exchange forging skills with him.

Nan Dou followed Huai Yan into his exclusive forging room, looked around, and found that there were no magical weapons placed in it, which made him curious.

Huai Yan saw Nan Dou's eyes and guessed what he was thinking in an instant, so he explained: "I have created hundreds of works that I am satisfied with in my life, and I have already given them to capable Yunqi warriors to slay demons and monsters."

"Don't be afraid of you laughing at me, my skills have not improved for a hundred years, and it has become a knot in my heart."

"I am very happy today because I see the possibility of further progress in you."

Nan Dou scratched his head. He didn’t expect that he was so important in Huai Yan’s eyes. It seemed that his magic weapon plan had been realized.

"I have heard that the Dragon Master Yan Tingjun of Zhu Ming Xianzhou is also a master of forging. How about..."

Before Nan Dou finished speaking, Huai Yan said excitedly, "Yes, Yan Tingjun's forging skills have also been stuck in the same place for a hundred years. I asked him to come over. I'm afraid he's more excited than me!"

Nan Dou stood there with his mouth wide open. He never expected that after thinking for a long time about how to trick Yan Tingjun into working for him, now it seems to be successful?
