Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

Diluke helplessly looked at Lu Ming, who was drunk and sleeping soundly on the table.

I was a little worried. Wouldn't this alcoholism damage Lu Ming's brain and turn him into an idiot? !

"Where's the wine? Waiter, give me another bottle of dandelion wine."

The waiter at the tavern looked at his boss, waved, and put the dandelion wine in his hand back on the counter.

"Mr. Lu Ming, wake up."

"Hmm? It's Diluk."

Seeing that it was Diluk, Lu Ming took out a reagent from the empty bag and poured it into his mouth. A few seconds later, Lu Ming, who had been talking incoherently and confusedly just now, immediately woke up and returned to the rational scientist state that Diluk had first seen.

Seeing Diluk curiously looking at the reagent bottle in his hand, Lu Ming casually explained

"This is a hangover cure I made. After all, I can't do research properly when I'm always drunk."

"A hangover remedy, perfect for Mondstadt's drunkards."

Seeing Lu Ming put away the potion bottle and seemed not to want to talk about this topic anymore, Diluk also changed the subject and told him the real purpose of his visit.

Although from Diluk's point of view, the hangover remedy in Lu Ming's hand is enough to make a poor man become the richest man in Mondstadt. After all, Mondstadt has the most alcoholics, so the hangover remedy is naturally easy to sell.

Diluk originally thought that Lu Ming would not wake up for a while, so he planned to send someone to take him to the room at the Knights' headquarters. But now that he was sober, there was no need to go through so much trouble. However, the topic they were going to discuss next was not suitable for outsiders to hear, so Diluk took Lu Ming to the second floor of the tavern.

The second floor of the Angel's Gift Tavern is usually not open to the public during the day. This is because the tavern has few people during the day, and the night is the time for drunkards to party. After all, drunkards also have to go to work.

"Mr. Lu Ming, I wonder which set of armor and weapons I asked you to make last time have been manufactured?"

"Well, the weapons are of course made, but Master Diluc, you need to give me the armor belt and summoner first, so that I can install the weapon system."

Diluk thought about the problem he had discovered before and couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Lu Ming, I hope you can design an anti-theft system for the Flame Dragon Armor, preferably one that only I can use."

"This is a bit troublesome..."

"One million Mora!"

"No problem, Master Diluk."

"Well, Master Diluc, please come with me to my laboratory in the Knights. I will use your God's Eye to design a theft-proof system for you. This way, not only can you summon the armor directly through the God's Eye, but you also don't have to worry about the armor being stolen and used by others."

Lu Ming looked at the reward offered by Diluk and was totally unable to refuse it. He had spent a lot of money on drinking these days and he was short of money.

"Eye of God?"

"That's right." Lu Ming explained. "After research, I found that the elemental fluctuations emitted by each of you original gods are completely different. This kind of fluctuation is difficult to imitate with Teyvat's current technology, but it is completely sufficient for anti-theft."

"And it's not just a rumor. Unless the original god's Eye of God is taken away or voluntarily given up, it will always return to its owner. In this way, there is no need to worry about losing the Eye of God. Wouldn't it be appropriate to use it to make the key to unlock the armor?"

Although Diluk had discarded his own Eye of God for various reasons, he had been using the Evil Eye from the Fatui since then. Diluk used some methods to avoid the defect of the Evil Eye that consumed vitality.

Diluk returned to Mondstadt after the Winter Solstice incident. Not long after that, Diluk found the discarded Eye of God in his vase.

This divine eye has witnessed Diluk's growth and is of great significance to him, but it is not indispensable.

Perhaps Lu Ming invited Diluk to his laboratory because of the importance the people of Teyvat attached to the Eye of God and the fact that the original gods did not want the Eye of God to leave them for even a moment.

Diluk happened to be very interested in Lu Ming's laboratory, and he had no intention of explaining this misunderstanding.

Lu Ming rode his modified electric scooter and Diluk rode a motorcycle as they drove on the streets of Mondstadt, attracting everyone's attention and gaze.

As the largest and most important city in Mondstadt, Mondstadt covers a large area. Even by bicycle, it takes about an hour to get from the street to the Knights' Order.

Following Lu Ming, Diluk looked at the guards in the corridor and at the door, as well as the belts around their waists, and his impression of the Knights' image slightly changed.

"Such a tight defense can probably deal with some petty thieves."

Let’s not talk about Diluk’s nitpicking and finding fault with the Knights.

Lu Ming took Diluk's Eye of God and belt and started working.

"You can look at the things in the laboratory, but remember not to touch them!"

Diluk looked at the items in the research room curiously. It was clean, tidy, and all the items were arranged in an orderly manner, which was in line with people's stereotype of scholars. It was incompatible with the sloppy and drunken Lu Ming that Diluk saw in the tavern.

Diluk couldn't understand most of the items in the laboratory.

The mechanically made wings of God placed in the cabinet?

Fruits with strange patterns soaked in green liquid?

The precious stone sealed by the glass cover seemed to have traces of wind element. There was also a smaller red stone next to it, which gave off a scent similar to that of the Flame Dragon Armor. Could it be the raw material for making the Flame Dragon Armor?

There was also a blue armor that was halfway through being made and had not yet been assembled. Could it be a new armor made by Lu Ming?

Is it the same type as the Flame Dragon Armor?

Seeing that Diluk was staring at his next set of armor, the Wind Eagle Armor, which he had not yet completed, Lu Ming explained:

"When I was drinking in the tavern before, a bard's poem gave me inspiration for the armor. Isn't there a rumor about the Guardian of the Four Winds in Mondstadt?"

"The dragon of the east wind, the eagle of the west wind, the lion of the south wind, and the wolf of the north wind. The eagle that protects Mondstadt and the wind of Mondstadt's freedom are worthy of my design!"

"But you already have the Flame Dragon Armor, which is the most suitable for you."

Diluk stared blankly at the unfinished armor in front of him, as if he saw the armored knight in the future who was as free as the wind and guarding Mondstadt.

"This armor doesn't suit me."

This is what Diluk thought and said it out loud.

"That's right. You have too many things on your shoulders. It's not easy to relax. Only a truly free person can unleash the power of this Wind Eagle Armor."

Diluk thought of the Knights' Captain Jean. That junior was so outstanding that he couldn't find fault with her. Maybe she was very suitable for this armor.

"That Qin..."

As if he had guessed what Diluk wanted to say, Lu Ming bowed:

"That Captain Qin is indeed very suitable for the Wind Eagle Armor, but unfortunately she is busier than you and is busy with official duties every day. It would be better if she could have more freedom."

Diluk looked ahead, imagining the diligent Captain Qin being as "free" as Kaeya and the bard, hanging out in the tavern every day, and he couldn't help feeling a chill.

"There's no hope for Mond like that."

"Great, it's finally done!"

Lu Ming's cheers interrupted Diluk's fantasy and saved him from the nightmare.

"Diluc, your weapon is complete!"

Diluk took the armor summoner and belt handed to him by Lu Ming and signaled him to summon the armor.

With blinding light pollution and dizzying sound effects, the Flame Dragon Man makes his grand entrance.
