Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

The knight captain looked at Klee, who was cheering at the huge rock fragments that were blown into pieces, with a serious expression.

This kind of thing is no longer something that a small captain like him can decide. He has to report to Jean, the acting leader of the Knights Templar.

But before reporting, he wanted to consult the two experts present, hoping to get useful advice.

Lu Ming had no objection and walked towards Klee and Albedo with the knight captain.

I didn't think it was anything when I was looking at it from a distance just now, but now that I'm closer, I can truly feel how powerful Klee's bomb is.

The boulder was two people tall. Even the original God predecessors in the Knights could only leave a few scratches on it during training, and the deepest one was no more than half a meter. However, Klee's bomb directly blew up more than half of the boulder.

The Knight Captain felt excited when he thought that he might be able to use such a powerful bomb in the future.

Even the wooden shield of the Hilliard Thugs cannot block such a powerful bomb. Although the elemental armor has a full-power output mode of the powerful elemental gun, this mode consumes a lot of energy. Without energy, the elemental armor is just an ordinary armor.

Lu Ming touched Klee's head, looked at Albedo and said, "Did you notice just now? Klee didn't use elemental force when firing the elemental cannon shells."

After thinking for a while, Albedo understood what Lu Ming meant. His expression became serious and he rested his chin on his hand as he thought.

As a master of alchemy, Albedo is certainly not a fool. It's just that he usually spends his days doing research in the snowy mountains, and he usually comes into contact with the original gods with the Eye of God, so he subconsciously ignored this point.

After Lu Ming pointed out the key point, Albedo instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Think about it, what will the Knights do after learning this news?

Elemental cannons will certainly be produced in large quantities. Moreover, compared to elemental armor, this type of elemental cannon is cheaper. It is entirely possible to mass-produce so that every knight in the Knights Templar can be equipped with one. When encountering difficult enemies, they can provide fire coverage. Even enemies at the level of gods' followers may be injured under the artillery fire.

So what kind of situation will Klee, the inventor of this weapon, face?

Is it praise or criticism?

Will the overwhelming praise from everyone have an impact on Klee's growth? Later, the elemental cannon was widely used in the army. If a war broke out among the seven countries one day, the elemental cannon, as a large-scale and highly effective weapon of destruction, would definitely be used in the war, causing countless casualties.

As the inventor of this weapon, will Klee feel guilty? Will she be blamed? These are the questions that Albedo has to consider as a brother.

Just like in Lu Ming's previous world, a doctor invented the Maxim machine gun to reduce casualties among soldiers, but it became a meat grinder on the battlefield, famous for its high killing rate. In order to reduce casualties, it caused greater casualties, which was even more vulgar than the tragedy written by a third-rate writer.

But it was impossible to hide this matter from others. Let alone whether a captain loyal to the Knights Templar could give up the opportunity to make the Knights Templar stronger, just take the hundreds of knights in training in the training ground. Qin would definitely know the truth if she asked.

Klee invented this weapon to help her brothers and sisters in the Knights of the Order, so that Jean could relax a little and spend more time with Klee. As a good brother who dotes on his sister, Albedo doesn't want to disappoint Klee.

If given the choice between Mond and Klee, Jean will hesitate, but Albedo will choose Klee without hesitation.

Looking at the knight captain staring at the elemental cannon in Klee's hand with fiery eyes, you can tell the captain's attitude, but there is a solution.

The Abyss Mage Cao Yuan, who was hiding behind a rock disguised as a weed, was thankful that the rock he chose was big and hard enough, otherwise he would have been blown to ashes.

As the backbone of the Abyss, the Abyss Mage not only has excellent elemental attacks, but the iconic spherical elemental shield also provides superb defense. If it is not for the restrained elemental force, it will be like encountering a water elemental Genshin encountering a wooden shield hillock thug, and can only use physical attacks to slowly wear down the shield.

But once the Abyss Mage's shield is broken, his weak body will be exposed to the enemy's weapons and be easily eliminated.

When Kusanagi was in disguise, in order not to expose himself, he would suppress all the elemental forces in his body, so naturally he could not use the elemental shield to protect himself.

Cao Yuan also didn't think that his grass element shield could defend against the fire element bomb that was restrained by this element.

So Cao Yuan hid more carefully, and kept praying in his heart that the Prince of the Abyss would bless him.

Albedo pondered for a long time and came up with a solution to the problem, but he needed Lu Ming's cooperation.

"Lu Ming, I hope you can replace Keli as the inventor of the elemental cannon."

Lu Ming said with a surprised look on his face: "Do you want me to steal the credit for Xiao Keli? I'm not the kind of scum who would steal other people's achievements."

"No, Lu Ming, you misunderstood. Please listen to my explanation." Albedo explained calmly.

"Lu Ming, you are the inventor of the elemental gun. Klee's elemental cannon was modified based on your elemental gun. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the inventor of the elemental cannon."

"And I believe you have also discovered that Klee's modified elemental cannon still has many shortcomings, such as the problem of Klee's cannonball being bounced away by the recoil when she fired it just now. I think you can solve it, right?"

Lu Ming said confidently: "Of course."

"But don't try to change the subject."

Albedo continued to explain: "You, who solved these problems, made as much contribution to the invention of the elemental cannon as Klee did, and I am not completely depriving Klee of the credit."

"Klee, come here." Albedo called Klee, who was still studying the elemental cannon.

"Lu Ming, I can see that you like Keli very much, but Keli is still too young. It would be bad for her growth if she became famous too early. Can you bear to see her become a bad kid?"

Following Albedo's hint, although Klee didn't understand what was going on, she still cooperated with a pitiful expression with tears in her eyes:

"Brother Lu Ming, Keli is a good kid. She doesn't seem like a bad kid."

Lu Ming's fist hardened: "Albedo, you are really despicable now!"

But looking at the cute Keli, Lu Ming couldn't say no.

"Okay! I promise you, Albedo!"

Looking at Albedo who was relieved, Klee who didn't know what was going on, and the Knight Captain who was just watching the whole thing, Lu Ming said:

"But I have a condition."

“We need to tell the public that this elemental cannon was developed by a mysterious person and I. When Klee grows up, she can decide whether to make it public.”

Albedo nodded: "Of course."

Then Lu Ming and Albedo looked at the knight captain.

The knight captain was sweating profusely when he was stared at by the two men, and quickly said, "I have been training all the time, I didn't see anything."

Seeing that the Knight Captain was so tactful, Albedo silently put away the amnesia potion in his hand.

This drug has not been tested on humans and may have certain side effects, so it is best not to use it lightly.

The knight captain, who didn't know he had escaped, hurried to the office of the leader of the Knights after Lu Ming and Albedo agreed to it and told Captain Qin the news.

"This weapon needs further improvement." Lu Ming looked at the childlike elemental cannon in his hand and walked towards his laboratory with Albedo and Klee.

Seeing that everyone had left, Cao Yuan still did not let down his guard. It was not until late at night when dark clouds covered the sun and he was sure that no one would make a surprise attack that Cao Yuan quietly slipped out of Mondstadt and rushed back to his headquarters - the Wind Dragon Ruins.
