Original God, eternal guardian

"We have investigated, and Escher...has found no such person. In other words, he has lied to us from the beginning. Now that the swordsmith is like this, it is definitely related to his short sword skills!" Niwa was filled with indignation. said.

"What are you going to do? I'll listen to you." The Qingqi man definitely couldn't come up with any good ideas.

"I have told Lord Changzheng about this, Qingqi...are you from the General's Mansion, right?" Niyu said suddenly.

"Well... yes, I am from the General's Mansion." Qingqi Zhe replied.

But in fact, this is all he knows. The golden feather on his neck can prove to some people that he is a creation of the shadow. To normal people, they can only conclude that he is a person from the castle tower. This conclusion

"I hope you go to the castle tower or Narukami Taisha Shrine to find some reinforcements for us. He must be executed on the spot!" Niwa was quite angry, with anger written on his face.

"I'm leaving...what will you do?" Qingqi was not at ease with Niyu.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. The earlier you find help, the less dangerous we will be."

"…Okay, okay, be careful."

Tenshukaku, Hozai Palace sits in front of the temple

"Yingbao, your little doll is in trouble. Do you want me to help him?"

"...I don't have the energy to care about him for the time being. My finished product is in the final stage now. If you want to do anything, just do whatever you want. Also, Zhai Gong, don't call me Shadow Treasure."

"Hmm, what, isn't Yingbao used to hearing this?"

"..."

Naruto Shrine

The Enchanter is talking to the pink-haired miko.

Yae Shenzi—she is the last Baichen fairy fox except Foxai Palace. 500 years ago, she was still young and did not participate in the war.

No, just as he was able to transform into a human being, he was assigned to the Narukami Taisha Shrine by the Foxsai Palace.

If you go to the castle tower directly with this golden feather, you probably won't be able to get in. After all, it's impossible to get into the castle tower with just a jewelry. However, Narukami Taisha Shrine can be regarded as the most prestigious place in Inazuma, so I'd like to The strange man plans to come here to ask for help.

"I understand what you said. I will report it to Lord Narukami. The rescue will be over soon," Yae Kamiko said.

After receiving such a promise, Qingqi naturally planned to go back.

And when Qingqi returned to Tatarsha, everything was different from what he thought. Niyu disappeared...everything disappeared.

Escher told Qingqi Zhe that Ni Yu fled out of fear of crime. Although Qing Qi Zhe didn't believe Escher in his heart, Ni Yu disappeared. If he didn't run away, then where did he go?

Escher then gave a special device to Qinqi, hoping that he would solve the demonic residue in the furnace of creation.

The Qingqi is not a man who is good at scheming. Under Escher's deception, he entered the oven of creation.

After doing all this, Escher transformed into his original appearance, a green-haired masked man: "In this way, my mission is completed."

Before the Qinqi Zhe came back, Niyu and Escher met

"It's been a while since I came to Tatarsha. Whether it's you or Yu Changzheng, it can be said that everyone here has a kind heart."

"The Tatarsha you lead is like a warm gathering place, a huge village, where people live busy and meaningful lives with passion."

"As far as I know, Lord Thunderbolt General has dealt with many evil spirits raging on the land of Inazuma over the years. The place of Tatar Sand was originally established to consume crystallized bone marrow."

“Then the forging industry arose, and generations of swordsmiths were born, becoming world-famous or unknown, and then passed on.”

"Technology, blood, dreams...all the craftsmen involved in this industry are seeking themselves in knives and steel. So you accepted my and Mr. Akame's proposal." Escher said very humbly, as if he was interested in Ta Tao Sand loves it very much.

"Mr. Escher, Akame mentioned that if you hadn't come to Inazuma and accidentally became friends with him to study technology together, he would not have thought of a plan to optimize the forging technique so quickly."

"You put the technology jointly developed by both parties under Akame's name, and later he sold the technology to me. Nowadays, the heart of the Treading Sand Furnace is all about the ore smelted with new technologies."

"And you also stay here as one of the consultants of Shoeshao, accompanying us. Your arrival has changed our production and forging model." Niwa also praised Escher's selfless dedication.

"You are flattering me. Inazuma's forging industry is worthy of my appreciation, and it is an honor for me to become friends with adults." Escher said that everything he did was insignificant.

"...But, is that really the truth?" Niyu said suddenly.

"What do you mean by this, sir?" Escher didn't know why.

"Before today, I never connected everything together because I didn't want to speculate like this, and I didn't want to believe that things would develop like this."

"What did we get when we adopted new technologies and put them into experiments? Weird black smoke, extrusion problems... The proportion of workers' physical losses and casualties increased, and the rate of increase was getting faster and faster."

"Until recently, as you know, someone died due to the weird filth in the heart of the furnace. We suppressed the news and did not let outsiders know the truth, but you should be clearer than me."

"... None of the people who went out to ask for help came back. Your friend and I, Qingqi, took the golden feather to Narukami Island to ask for the general. This is our last hope."

"Even so, Mr. Escher, you must not be afraid of anything, otherwise, why would you be smiling like you are now?" Niyu asked.

"But I am surprised that my lord said such sincere words to me. Such speculation must have been hidden in your heart for a long time, right?" Escher's answer was calm.

"Master Yu Yu Changzheng may have noticed the commonality behind a series of events... that is you, Mr. Escher. It's just that Lord Yu Yu has been upright throughout his life, and he is more cautious in his actions than me."

"It is said that Gogo-sama is the adopted son of the witch Tora Chiyo who was killed by the general. He is fighting to clear the family's reputation. You should act cautiously." Escher's voice was already a little disgusting when he spoke.

In fact, he had already figured out what Niyu meant, but Niyu didn't know what to say, and he didn't intend to say it directly.

"...You even know the steps involved, but you're just a mechanical craftsman who came all the way from Fontaine. Aren't you overqualified and overqualified?" Niwa began to tell Escher clearly.

"Niwa-sama, are you suggesting that I find a job as an official? It's a pity that my heart is about crafts..."

"Okay! Escher!" Niyu was angry.
