"In Lower Xavier! From the distant and romantic Fontaine... May I ask this beautiful young lady, your surname?

At this time, the blond foreigner in front of the general's eyes said so, with a polite smile on his face, and the whole person took the initiative to move forward and try to shake her hand.

Hearing this, the general was slightly stunned, and his first reaction turned out to be - the other party did not know himself?

But after coming back to your senses, it's normal to think about it.

After all, the other party claims to be from "Fontaine", a foreigner, in the continent of Tivat, where information is relatively closed, it is not surprising that people who do not recognize the country are even rulers, right?

"I... My name is Shadow.

After hesitating for a while, the general said so, and refused the other party's handshake request on the grounds of "holding a pet in his arms."

At the same time....

(Sorry, let's borrow [her] name for now.) Recalling

the creator of the puppet general, the true God of Thunder, a hint of mixed emotions flashed in her eyes.

After being decisively rejected by the general, Xavier also looked a little disappointed and began to take the initiative to find a common topic:

"Miss Shadow? Oh, what a ... It's a very special name, and it fits your temperament. And the one in your arms... Fox? Is it your pet? It's so cute, haha, then... Miss Shadow, what are you here for?

Not caring about the other party's forced smile, the general said casually: "I... Happened to pass by here. To

be honest, her reaction and answer seemed overly suspicious.

Seeing this, Xavier turned his head and glanced at the toolbox he brought without a trace... To be precise, it was all kinds of self-defense equipment in the toolbox, and then slowly approached the past, he smiled politely and said:

"Passing by? It seems that Miss Ying is not good at lying. This place is extremely dangerous, it has never been a place for 'sightseeing and moon viewing', where are the tourists? You still don't laugh. (

It was actually pierced in the face...?)

In this regard, the general was slightly surprised.

To be honest, since coming to this world and being reborn as the [Raiden General], she has received too much awe and compliments from others.

So it's inevitable....

Unconsciously, she was a little "floating", put herself in a very high position, and her personality was no longer the cowardice and humility of her previous life, habitually focusing on herself, and taking everything for granted.

- Of course, for the strong, "having personality" is not a bad thing.

However, in fact, if the person standing in front of the shogun at this moment is the dignitary of the shogunate....

Undoubtedly, even if it is seen that she is lying, those officials will deliberately pretend not to know, and take the initiative to "cooperate" with her to continue acting, and even give a thumbs up to praise.

——A "bold act" like Xavier, who exposed lies in front of his face, looked at the entire shogunate, and almost no one dared to do it, one by one, for fear of touching the general's "anti-scale", thus attracting divine punishment.

However

For some reason, even if his lies were exposed to the other party's face at this moment, the general did not feel embarrassed and angry, but rather missed.

- Nostalgic for this sparse and ordinary conversation. There is no need to put up a shelf, talk to each other in the same status and identity, say whatever you want, how free.

"Uh... I'm sorry. I'll be blunt—I'm from Narugami Island, from a forging family. I heard that the Mikage hearth of the Tatara Sand had recently been in a state of condition and could no longer produce forged steel, so I specially came here with curiosity and doubt, concealed the shogunate, and asked Mr. Xavier to keep it secret for me.

This time, the general quite "seriously" weaved a whole new set of lies, half-truths, and deliberately erased the most critical information.

- The effect is not bad.

Her "cautious" look dispelled a lot of suspicions from the other party, but...

The "temptation" does not end: "

So it is ... What a coincidence, the major forged knife genres that have been longing for Inazuma in Xia, and I have a deep admiration for the legendary [Raiden Five Den], I wonder if Miss Kage can tell me which genre you belong to? Oh, I don't mean anything else in the next day, I just want to visit another day and have a look.

In the end, Xavier's face was full of longing, that look was quite "real", it contained a trace of true feelings, if you don't understand his personality and details, you may be deceived.

(Good guy, the suspicion is great.)

The general could not help but sigh.

However, she seems to remember that in the plot, Xavier in front of her seems to have unconditionally believed the protagonist shortly after they met....

- Is it because of the "protagonist aura"?

Or does she really seem untrustworthy?

Thinking of this, the general smiled stiffly, sorted out his language a little, and replied truthfully:

"My genre has no name and no surname, and if you insist on naming it—it should be [Yuanliu] or [I-flow]."

"Source stream?"

After being stunned, Xavier began to test again -

the content was omitted for the time being.

As a result, he never expected that the general would answer like a stream!

The general's answer is comparable to a standard answer ... Even more accurate than the "standard answer"! Often able to draw inferences, say the techniques and mysteries of some of these genres, as well as some unknown secrets, as if she is the "party" or the creator of the genre, simply omniscient!

This really shocked Xavier, making him feel a little ashamed.

In Inazuma, everyone knows that in addition to the sword technique and the tai sword technique, Inazuma's knife forging technique is also directly handed down by Raiden Shogun.

The so-called "Raiden Five Den" is the collective name of the five schools of forging knives that were once the most skilled in Inazuma.

The skills they mastered were originally handed down by General Raiden himself, and were continuously improved and carried forward in the hands of many talented craftsmen, and finally gained the scale and fame of later generations.

In other words, at the root, including the "Five Denden of Thunder", almost all of Inazuma's forging sword genres are branches of the shogun's [Origins]!

Therefore, want to embarrass the general with knowledge of forging?

- It's really whimsical.

“...... Miss Shadow, you are so powerful! I'm sure you're the most experienced cutlers I've ever met! I'm sorry, I shouldn't doubt your identity under the bottom, it's really rude, and I ask for your forgiveness!

In the end, Xavier was completely impressed by the general's vast and profound knowledge, and he was ashamed of himself.

In this regard, the general, who had already seen through his details and what he thought in his heart, did not pursue it, but shook his head and asked again:

"It's okay, just lift the misunderstanding." So, Mr. Xavier, can you now tell me what exactly is wrong with the heart of the Shadow Heart?

"Well..."

Hearing this, Xavier's face almost changed, and finally, he couldn't help but sigh deeply:

"Alas, this matter is a long story. You should have seen a 'bubble' hood when you arrived, right? "

Well, it's the energy shield that enveloped the entire heart of the Imperial Shadow Furnace and even the surrounding mountain rocks, right?" Recalling what he had seen, the general nodded and replied thoughtfully.

"Oh? I didn't expect Miss Ying to be able to see it with the naked eye... To be honest, I thought I needed to use some kind of special observation method.

Xavier looked a little surprised.

Seeing this, the general couldn't help but ask: "Can't you also see it?"

"No, no, no, it's not seen with your own eyes. Instead, I used this "Trial Version of the Imperial Shadow Hearth Emergency Response Process Guide" to 'see'. I

saw him pat the thick book on the table and said at a glance.

The general was speechless for a while.

Xavier, however, seemed to have opened a "chatterbox": "

I have followed the steps above. The instrument reading shows that the shroud should have been activated smoothly as well. Ah, it is worth mentioning that the official name of this shield is [Imperial Shadow Hearth Special Emergency Barrier Shield], I don't know if Miss Shadow can understand it.

"And the heart of the Mikage hearth is..."

Immediately afterward, he began to talk endlessly about some words that "outsiders" could not understand at all, and the professional terms were one after another, which made people dizzy.

In addition, his identity, the purpose of coming here, etc., were all told to the general - it seems that as long as he successfully gains the trust of "Xavier", he will show his true appearance, and once he talks about his professional field, he can't stop talking.

In this regard, the general did not say anything to stop or forcibly interrupt, but listened to the whole process word for word and seriously.

From beginning to end, simply spread out:

the reason why this place is called [Tatara Sand] is because it has always been a smelter for the production of [jade steel] for forging weapons - this general knows.

It is precisely because of the addition of this [jade steel] in the forging process that Inazuma's sword is so sharp and hard, not only can it be used by the shogunate, but it can even be exported overseas, and it is quite famous on the continent of Tivat - this general also knows.

A few years ago, in order to expand the production scale of [Yugang], the shogunate officially hired a team of consultants from Fontaine, the country of water, and spent a lot of money to build [Mikage Hearth] that could make full use of the power of the gods—this general "seems" to understand.

Compared to traditional smelting methods, the "automated" machine of the Mikage Furnace Heart can refine the energy in the gods more efficiently and safely, and produce more jade steel at a faster speed, with remarkable results - this general knows nothing.

After the machine was put into production, most of the members of the Fontaine Advisory Group returned home, only the person in front of him, Xavier, chose to stay temporarily to prepare for his other career and hobby, and then he was accidentally trapped in Inazuma by the Lockdown Order, and after the accident in the heart of the Mikage, he accepted the commission from the Heavenly Lord, and has been to this day.

- This puppet general is completely unaware.

You know, thanks to the "blessings" of the nine filial piety, the information and intelligence and sources held by the puppet generals are all official documents and folds submitted in advance after being "screened" by the Heavenly Leader and many shogunate officials;

From the promulgation of the "Lockdown Order" to the precedence, in the past few years, almost all the puppet generals have been locked up in the "information cocoon" deliberately created by Kujo Takayuki and others, and they have little understanding or even nothing about what is happening in the outside world! As a result, wrong judgments were made and wrong instructions were given.

As a god puppet acting for the position of [Raiden General], he was actually blinded by his subordinates, a group of weak humans... In a sense, it is also a manifestation of "incompetence".

But today's general will not mock and belittle her like Yae Miko, but will take the initiative to take on the various mistakes committed by the puppet to make up for and redeem it, and to lead Inazuma and the people who have gone astray and suffered disasters back to the right track!

Back to business.

Ten minutes later, Xavier's explanation finally came to an end.

“...... To put it simply, the heart of the Mikage furnace behind us is a super smelting furnace driven by the core of [Suishin] built with the technology of my motherland Fontaine, and transported from Hachiyu Island. Thank you for your willingness to listen to the explanation, Miss Shadow.

"It's okay. Anyway, I'm part of Inazuma, and it's helpful to know more about Mikage's hearth. The general nodded and smiled.

"Uh-huh, let's slow down first, drink saliva first... Ah, no, the water sources and ecology in the vicinity have been polluted to varying degrees, and even the air may be floating [Sui Shen], it is not suitable to eat, and I almost forgot... I want to live a few more decades!

After that, enduring the discomfort caused by dry mouth, Xavier continued to explain:

"Probably because of the war, the heart of the Mikage Hearth is currently in a very unstable state..."

"Although every effort has been made to deal with it to a certain extent, even the 893-page "Trial Version of the Guide" does not record the emergency measures that should be taken in a war situation... Alas, it's really difficult.

"It seems that the next time we will organize the editorial team of the "Trial Version of the Guide and the First Supplement" to carefully study more contingencies..."

The general frowned, looking puzzled.

"Ah, sorry, I'm talking to myself again, habit of doing things haha. In short, now that the Imperial Shadow Furnace Heart is suspended indefinitely, the forging industry where Miss Shadow is located must have been affected, right? The soldier was also very annoyed by this.

In this regard, the general nodded in agreement:

"Yes, without Yugang, Inazuma's sword will lose its former sharpness and toughness, which is indeed not to be underestimated." And...... The gods are not effectively processed and consumed, and then piled up like this (whisper)... Ahem, may I ask Mr. Xavier, what do you mean by 'Mr. Soldier'? "

A shogunate officer named 'Toranosuke' and what he called 'Lord Fanbei'—I heard that the latter was also the shogunate commissioner in charge of issues related to the maintenance of the Mikage hearth. But in the next view, it is not at all like it. After all, how can any technician talk about processes, regulations, applications and the like all day long? Hehe.

Speaking of this, Xavier couldn't help but laugh, obviously resentful.

"And after the accident, the first reaction of the 'commissioner' was not to find a solution and deal with the problem as soon as possible, but to inform the boss in Inazuma Castle in advance, submit the relevant problem explanation documents, and shirk responsibility

..." "Alas, if the situation continues to deteriorate like this, maybe this island will become a gorgeous 'fireworks' that can also be seen in my hometown, the beautiful town of Petrico..."

Isn't that just...

At this moment, the general couldn't help but become serious.

"How serious is the situation?"
