Rebirth of the original god: I became the son of the shadow

Chapter 4 Reaching Mond—The Blackfire Case

"I am a traveler and I am here to travel. Depending on the situation, I will always stay here." Shenyin answered truthfully.

"Please also prove your identity as a traveler. The city is currently very strict about some matters." The soldier said respectfully.

Shenyin opened his backpack and found a letter and handed it to the soldier. The soldier read it and returned the letter to Shenyin. "Welcome to Mondstadt, Inazuma's traveler."

"Can I go in?" Shenyin looked at the soldier and said with slight doubts.

"Of course, but you still have to go to the Knights of the West Wind to write down your identity certificate. Besides, Mondstadt is not very peaceful recently, so please be careful."

Shenyin asked curiously, "What happened to Mondstadt recently?"

The soldier looked around and whispered in Shenyin's ear, "Yesterday, the black fire from nowhere burned the diplomats of the Solstice Kingdom to death. Now it has become a diplomatic issue. Mondstadt is very nervous now."

"Huh? Isn't this bad? Hasn't the prisoner been found yet?" Shenyin asked in a low voice.

"Not yet, but it should be soon."

Shenyin nodded with a slightly skeptical tone, "Really?"

Just as Shenyin was chatting with the soldiers, a fast running figure passed by Shenyin.

"That's Deputy Commander Qin. What's wrong? Running so fast?" The soldier murmured as he looked at the figure running away.

Shenyin was stunned after hearing this: "Wait a minute you said she was the deputy leader?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Don't I need the deputy captain to check my registration? Who will check my registration now that she's gone?"

"Ah, that's true, but Miss Lisa should still be in the Knights. You can also find her."

Shenyin nodded, "Really? But I'd better go take a look. It seems very interesting."

After saying that, he turned around and left. The soldier was about to reach out to stop Shenyin, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided not to do it.

Shenyin quickly caught up with Qin, and then heard the sound of fighting.

"Oh~ what is this?"

Shenyin looked at the huge creature composed of huge armor?Sighed.

"Huh? Who are you?" Qin looked back when she heard the voice.

Shenyin looked at Qin and pulled out a bit of the thread in his left hand. "Vice-captain Qin, right? Please don't be distracted during the battle!"

Qin only felt a gust of wind rushing past her. By the time she reacted again, the huge armor had been torn apart by Shenyin.

There is a silver thread in each gap of the armor.

"You shouldn't be able to move like this. Vice-captain Qin, hello. I'm a traveler from Inazuma. I looked interesting and followed you." Shenyin touched his head and said with a smile.

"You are so strong!" The girl in red clothes looked at Shenyin with stars in her eyes. "Ah, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Amber."

Shenyin looked a little shy due to Amber's eyes, "My name is Shenyin."

Shenyin felt the vibration of the robot and his expression immediately became serious, "This thing is extraordinary!"

The flames in the gap in the robot directly burned Shenyin's silk thread. Shenyin immediately touched the Eye of God. The Eye of God, which was originally printed with thunder, instantly turned into water!

The robot at Shenyin's feet was assembled in an instant and waved its arm towards Shenyin. Shenyin raised his eyes and jumped back.

"Be careful, this thing is more difficult to deal with than the ruins guard!"

Qin glanced at Yin Yin and then immediately looked at the robot, "How can we defeat this guy?"

Shenyin touched the bracelet on his right hand, and the bracelet instantly turned into a one-handed sword. "Everything has a weakness, it depends on whether it can be found. I'm afraid it will be resurrected infinitely before the weakness is found."

Qin sighed softly, "Does this mean this battle will take a long time?"

Shenyin put the knife into the scabbard, slowly squatted down and stared at the robot, "No, I'm looking for flaws, please ask Deputy Commander Qin to crush it!"

"Just call me Qin." Qin chuckled.

Shenyin nodded lightly and took a deep breath, "Cut the fantasy with one sword!"

The sound of "Bo~" instantly alerted Qin and Amber. When they saw the two people around them, they were stunned at the same time.

The fish all around seemed to be swimming forward as if they were in the sea.

Then a huge shadow enveloped Qin and Amber. Amber looked at the huge figure and said in surprise, "This is? A whale! And it's so beautiful here. How come we were on the ground just now and now we are in the sea?"

Qin squinted her eyes and looked at Shenyin who was accumulating power. "This is an illusion created by elemental power. It requires very powerful elemental power to form it. Who is this child?"

The illusion slowly disappeared and then gradually solidified on the knife. Shenyin swung the knife fiercely, and the water slash disappeared instantly. "Cut!"

Countless water jets instantly appeared in the robot that was rushing towards Amber, cutting his body into pieces!

The robot instantly broke into countless small pieces. Qin and Shenyin carefully searched for the core of the robot, but found nothing.

Shenyin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no reaction from the robot.

Qin suddenly thought that the robot seemed to be heading towards Amber, "Amber, did you take anything?"

Amber hesitated for a while and took out a emblem that looked like a bomb. "I found this by following the clues."

"This? What is it?" Shenyin looked at Amber with a puzzled face. "Why does it chase you after you hold this thing?"

Qin thought quietly for a while, "I felt something was wrong from just now. The sound of that joint was very unstable, and the flame might be the principle that drives him."

Shenyin suddenly realized, "That means destroying the manipulator in Amber's hand or completely beating him to pieces, two options, right?"

"You can't destroy it! This is a clue that I finally found!" Amber held the manipulator tightly.

Qin looked at Amber with a look of helplessness on her face, "That said, but what should we do?"

As soon as Qin finished speaking, the fragments of the robot formed a hook and rushed towards Qin. Shenyin chopped it into pieces with a knife and muttered impatiently, "It's so annoying! Even more annoying than a cat in heat!"

Shenyin touched the Eye of God, and the Eye of God gradually turned into thunder, and then turned the sword into a gun, and Shenyin turned around.

"No time to think about plans! I create opportunities, and then you destroy him in one go!"

"Okay!" Qin and Amber said in unison.

After experiencing the action of smashing the robot just now, the two of them already trusted Shenyin.

The thunder elemental power on Shenyin's body gradually wraps around the gun

"This is the first time I've used this move. If you can't stop, you have to stop me! So fast!"

In a flash of purple light, Shenyin appeared in front of the robot, and the tip of the gun penetrated directly into the robot's chest!

"Fall me down!"

Qin's sword was charged with wind, and Amber's fire element directly filled Qin's sword!

"Deputy Commander! In front of the robot is an explosive barrel!"

"I know! Shenyin!"

Shenyin took out the silk thread in his left hand and threw it on the robot. Shenyin injected a trace of elemental power into the thread!

The thread became sticky and stuck to every gap on the robot!

Shenyin turned the gun into a bracelet and grabbed the silk thread with both hands to pull the robot up!

Qin saw the right moment and used the wind pressure sword to directly push the robot to the explosive barrel, and the fire element wrapped around the sword directly detonated the explosive barrel!

The explosion of flames engulfed the robot in an instant!

"Wow~ It's so scary! Fortunately, it's elementalized. I didn't expect this explosive barrel to be so powerful!" Shenyin jumped out from behind Qin and Amber.

Amber trembled when she heard Shenyin's voice, "It scared me. I thought you couldn't get out of the explosion!"

"Elementalization is not something ordinary people can do, what are you?" Qin said seriously, looking at Shenyin's face.

Shenyin took out a letter from his elemental backpack, "This is a letter from my mother to Fengshen, but I don't seem to see Fengshen, so please ask Captain Qin to take a look."

Qin took the letter from Shenyin's hand, opened it and read it.

After a while, Qin returned the letter to Shenyin. Qin stared at Yin's face, "If the above is true, you do have the right to stay in any city-state, so why did the young master of Inazuma come to our Mondstadt?"

"Huh? The young master of Rice Wife? Is it a rumor that came out a few years ago? Is that true?" Amber looked at Qin in surprise.

"Did my mother even write this?" Shenyin took the letter and took a look at it before putting it back. "Is there any more rumors?"

Qin nodded lightly, "Yes, yes, but no one believes it. After all, they all believe that God has no heirs."

"Ah~ I understand, Amber, what are you looking for?"

Shenyin looked curiously at Amber, who was just looking for something in a pile of debris.

Amber said without looking back, "Maybe there are clues in it."

Qin and Shenyin looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Shenyin said with a smile, "Even if there were clues, they were burned to ashes. It was such a big explosion just now."

Qin helped Amber up and wiped the ashes from Amber's face. "Let's go."

Amber nodded heavily, "Yes!"

Shenyin suddenly felt something strange about the bracelet on his left hand. Then he turned the bracelet and looked at the threads inside and sighed softly, "Sure enough, too much elemental power was injected just now, and everything inside was stuck together."

Amber heard Shenyin's words and suddenly remembered Shenyin's fighting style, "You are so light when you fight. How do you do that?"

Shenyin threw away the broken thread and replaced it with a new one and then responded, "I have been a ninja for two years. Although I don't know ninjutsu, my physical fitness has reached the peak of ninja."

"What about the thread? What is that?"

"Hmm~ A specially made ninja tool, when injected with threads of different elemental power, it will look different."

"Speaking of which, I saw you used two elements just now, water and thunder."

"My god's eyes are special."

Shenyin and Amber chatted all the time, and unknowingly walked to the Knights of the West Wind in Mondstadt.

"who are you?"

The dark-skinned man walked step by step towards the girl with bandages all over her body.

"I..."

"Oh?"

The girl held the information tightly in her hands and hid it in her cloak. She looked at the man nervously, "Huh... I'm just a wanderer who got lost here. I'm not worthy of your inquiry, am I?"

The man chuckled lightly, "There's nothing I can do. Someone said something happened recently. There are so many people coming in and out of Mondstadt, so naturally you have to ask more questions when meeting strangers."

The man gradually approached the girl. "What about you? Wanderer? When did you come to Mondstadt?"

Amber, who was still chatting with Shenyin, saw her walking faster and stepped on the man's foot. "Senior Kaiya, are you bullying my friend?"

Kaia moved her feet away calmly, "Oh? That's really rude. What do you call your friend?"

"She screamed!!" Amber then realized that she didn't seem to ask. Amber turned around and grabbed the girl's shoulders and said, "Tell him!"

The girl said helplessly, "Ke Lai..."

Qin and Shenyin arrived at Amber's place. Qin said to Kaia, "Kaia, you happen to be also talking about this bombing..."

Amber quietly asked Cole, "Hey, did you find what you were looking for?"

Ke Lai responded subconsciously, "Ah? Found..." Ke Lai suddenly realized something and immediately covered his mouth, "... not found."

Kelai sighed inwardly, "There is nothing we can do." Kelai took out the information from the cloak, "Just now...she forgot to take this when she was sorting out the information."

Qin and Kaia looked over. Kaia took the information and glanced at it, "What is this?"

"This is the key clue we investigated. Lisa reanalyzed the case three years ago and found the same burning record, so Diluc is related to this case." Qin explained

Kaia thought for a moment and said, "So, that day happened to be his coming-of-age ceremony."

Dawn Winery

Diluc looked at the Cecilia flower on the ground and slowly told Lisa, "That day..."

Mond three years ago

"cheers!"

"Congratulations, Master Diluc! You have officially become an adult. Cheers, cheers."

Diluc smiled and refused, "Just wine, thank you."

Others laughed and said, "Hahaha, too. After all, you are still on a mission."

At this time, another red-haired man came out from the side and patted the man on the back who said he wanted to drink a toast. "Haha, if you want to drink, come to my winery and I will drink to your fill."

"Master Cripps is so generous!"

Cripps smiled and said nothing, then looked at Diluc, "Diluc, it's time to leave. Try to get back before it rains."

Diluc smiled and said "Yes, father."

Diluc prepared the convoy and drove towards the outskirts of the city.

A man in the town looked at Diluc's convoy with hateful eyes.

"Tsk..." The man took out a mechanical device from his arms and placed it on his shoulder.

The mechanical device turned into an iron bird, flew towards the Diluc team, and finally stopped on the team's carport and transformed into a device.

In the car, Cripps said, "I... also wanted to join the Knights."

After hearing this, Diluc became alert and looked at his father behind him.

Cripps continued, "However, you are not strong enough and have not been recognized by God. But you are very good. Not only have you been recognized by God, you have also entered the Knights of the West Wind."

Diluc responded with a smile, "...With my father's current assets and influence, his contribution to Mondstadt is not inferior to that of the Knights."

Cripps laughed and responded, "Hahaha, that's true."

"Ah."

Cripps looked at the box in his hand in the carriage and was silent for a while. "Diluc, I'm proud of you."

Diluc turned around in surprise when he heard his father's words, "!"

"Perhaps this thing is no longer needed."

At that time... if the abnormality could be discovered earlier, if the power could be possessed earlier... it wouldn't be that kind of result...

While Diluc was distracted, the Qiuqiu man jumped out of the grass, accompanied by a dragon in the sky!

Although Diluc went to stop it, it was in vain. In the blink of an eye, the convoy was dead and injured.

Just when Diluc stood up again and challenged the dragon, Cripps came out of the carriage wearing a pair of gloves with black eyes. "Father!"

A black ring of fire appeared on Cripps' right hand, and then he raised his hand to the countless black and red chains in front of him and locked it directly!

Even though the dragon was locked, he stared at Cripps and Diluc. Diluc covered his arms and stood up slowly and looked at his father, "This power, in the end..."

At this time, the device on the carport lit up. When Long saw it, he broke free of the chains and attacked Diluc!

Before Diluc could stand still, his legs weakened and he fell to the ground again. Upon seeing this, Cripps directly stood in front of Diluc and withstood the fatal blow!

The dragon also escaped at this time!

Diluc stood up immediately and said, "Father, it's successful, we..."

When Cripps saw that Diluc was fine, his body slowly fell down.

"Father?" Diluc immediately squatted down to check Cripps' injury!

"Reinforcements are coming!! Didn't you..." Kaia looked at Diluc and Cripps' eye holes shortening instantly!

Diluc looked at the blood on his hands and the blood on the ground.

The gloomy sky finally rained down...

Diluc, who had been silent for a long time, said unwillingly, "...Damn it."

back to the present

Amber touched her chin and said, "Diluc's father is because of Ursa..."

Qin was silent for a while and said, "So this happened..."

Kaia nodded lightly, "Well, I was also there."

Amber immediately said, "But it was Diluc's father who won at that time, right? Then why did he win?"

Kelai said directly, "It's a backlash."

Only then did Ke Lai realize that something was wrong and immediately explained, "Ah, it's not just my guess. Don't pay too much attention to it."

Kaia immediately looked at Kelai, "Is it backlash?"

Kelai noticed that Kaiya looked at Kaiya with a trembling expression.

"You're not talking about the evil eye, are you?" Shenyin finally figured out their incident.

"What is the evil eye? Shenyin, do you know?" Amber looked at Shenyin and asked

Shenyin nodded, "I know, but there are very few circulating in the world. Although this thing will give people very powerful power, it will swallow your life."

"Who are you?" Kaiya looked at Shenyin

Shenyin immediately introduced himself, "I'm from Inazuma, just call me Shenyin."

Kaia looked at Shenyin with a slightly suspicious look, and Qin patted Kaia at this moment. "It's okay, Shenyin can be trusted. Returning to the previous topic, what is Diluc's reason for quitting the Knights?"

Amber immediately raised her hands and said, "Ah! I seem to know this~"

"Ugh?"

"That day, I hid in the cabinet in the office and wanted to scare grandpa...

When grandpa was still alive, Scout Knight was still a respected person. He was so busy with work that he often had no time to play with me...

I want to hide in the closet and wait for him to pass by to scare him...

But grandpa didn't show up that day. "

Amber's memories

Amber in the cabinet listened to the words outside and slowly crawled to the gap to look outside.

"This case must not be leaked to the outside world!"

"My father paid for this with his life! How could his sacrifice be buried in vain! And...the cause of my father's death also needs to be vindicated with facts!"

"Then the prestige of the Knights will be ruined! If the outside world knows that it was solved by a mere businessman, the ability of the Knights of the West Wind will be greatly questioned!"

"Just a businessman!?"

"Honor should be reserved for the living, that is the most practical and useful thing."

"And the honor of the Knights can protect the future of Mondstadt. If your father could survive, he would now be able to join the Knights of the West Wind that he dreamed of. Unfortunately, he did not."

When Diluc heard this, he was furious. Diluc held his coat and the Eye of God and looked at Ilok firmly in front of him. "Then I will quit the Knights of the West Wind! Don't forget, Mondstadt is Made of people like my father!”

"After that, people in the office also left one after another..."

Amber scratched her cheek in embarrassment, "I always feel like...the clue has been broken again."

Kaiya carefully looked at the information given by Kelai and said, "But the fuse is probably the Fools. Although the Fools have heard about the stuff they are developing, their taste is quite bad."

"I agree with this. By the way, is the Ilok of your knights that Amber mentioned just now dead?" Shenyin said with a smile.

But seeing this smile, several people present shuddered.

Qin helplessly looked at the young master of Inazuma and felt that he was very hostile to Ilok. It was probably because Diluc's incident made him feel uncomfortable. Qin sighed softly, "He has been eliminated."

"Really? That's good. It's okay. You continue." Shenyin waved his hand.

Kelai was not interested in getting involved in Diluc's affairs and asked Xiang Kaiya directly, "What is written on it?"

Kaiya looked at the information and said, "Ah, it says..." Kaiya suddenly took the information away and stared at Kelai, "It's written... You value this information very much... I'm afraid you are better than us." Learn more about this document. Wanderer."

"Ah! Senior Kaiya! Don't bully my friends!"

Ke Lai looked away with erratic eyes, "It's my friend... My friend was injected with that thing by the fools... If... if... we can find out what is written on it, maybe we can save her... .”

'Death to survive...'

'This child has been injected...'

'What a surprise. I thought the girl was injured because of something else, but I didn't expect that she was injected with the evil eye. '

"It turns out that I came to Mondstadt to help my friends. I'm impressed by you!" Amber looked at Kelai with stars in her eyes.

Ke Lai was really feeling guilty and looked elsewhere, "Ah, ah..."

Qin explained slightly awkwardly, "This is a document written in special characters. Maybe only Lisa can understand it..."

After a while Lisa came back and heard what Amber said, then she covered her face and explained, "Sorry, I can't understand it either."

Kelai looked at the floor with a disappointed face, and Qin also looked helpless.

Then Lisa said, "But my teacher at the Xumi Teaching Academy should understand. I can write to my teacher for help."

Amber hugged Kelai excitedly, "Great, your friend is saved!"

Kelai was held by Amber so that no one could see his expression: "...Yes." Finally, we finally caught the clue of that guy! '

Kaia and Shenyin looked at Kelai and then looked at each other, and then they fell silent silently.

"There are some bad things I want to report to you next." Qin posted a few pieces of information on the browsing board. "The first is the information about the Fools' visit in three days."

Amber and Kelai, who were still cheerful at first, also became quiet.

"The other party has already sent a letter. He must also want to find out the cause of this incident. Find out, or confirm which cause it is. For this reason, after I returned to the city, I gave the remains of the mechanism that Amber found to the other party. Members, we have just received news that countless similar mechanisms have been found in various parts of the city. I am afraid that Mondstadt was invaded long before the badminton festival..."

Lisa sighed, "I really picked a good day."

"If this is the case, the criminal in the Black Fire case must be found within three days."

Kaiya raised his hand and said, "Let's do it. I already have an idea about the prisoner, right, Shenyin?"

Shenyin nodded slightly, glanced at Kelai, then turned around and said, "If you believe me, I will accompany you."

"Of course." Kaia responded with a smile.

Qin nodded, "I understand, and we will do our best to assist you here."

Amber immediately said, "Ah! Me! I can help too!"

Qin interrupted Amber and said, "Amber has other tasks for you. You are the best at search tasks, right?"

"Oh...oh!" Amber looked at Kelai with a happy face and said, "Ke Lai, you will also come to help!"

"Then...the Badminton Festival celebrations have been carried out in recent days. I will assign other tasks to other people in the group. Never let the celebration be ruined. Please, everyone of the Knights of the West Wind!"
