"The Immortal Execution Sword?"
Bai Zhi tilted her head and then uttered a name.
Then Bai Zhi saw Huo Long shaking his head frantically, seemingly very unwilling to accept the name.
"That...Qingping Sword?"
The fire dragon shook its head even more violently.
Huaiyan also coughed lightly. This sword was entirely gold and red, and had nothing to do with blue.
"Xuanyuan? Forget it, that's not appropriate..."
Bai Zhi racked her brains. To be honest, she was terrible at naming things. The sword bestowed by the Emperor's Bow should have been given a better name, but she just bluntly gave it Storm Sword, a name that focused on functionality.
However, when Yun Li saw Stormsword last time, she said that Stormsword really enjoyed adventuring with her, so Stormsword probably doesn't object to his name.
"Alright then, I'll call you Chixiao."
Bai Zhi searched her mind for a long time before finally coming up with a name.
Chixiao is the sword of the emperor's way. Legend has it that the sword Liu Bang used to slay the white snake was called Chixiao. Whether from the perspective of the name's relevance or its pleasant sound, it is an excellent choice.
The fire dragon nodded repeatedly.
Then Bai Zhi saw that several characters for "Immortal Boat" appeared on the sword, which was Chi Xiao.
Bai Zhi then looked at the bow in the other box.
Like the Crimson Sky Sword, this bow also features a gold and red color scheme, with a gold main color and red accents on the edges, making it quite magnificent.
However, this sword does not have the effect of transforming into a fire dragon like the Crimson Sky Sword.
"This bow, though not as good as the Crimson Sky Sword, is still quite extraordinary. You can try drawing it."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi tried drawing the bow and discovered that as she drew the bow, a burning arrow automatically appeared on the bowstring.
"This bow can automatically attract fire elements in space and store them inside its bow. As long as the bowstring is drawn, it can shoot fire arrows. The power of these flames is also exceptionally strong. Just now, this arrow managed to burn through the high-strength defensive barrier being tested."
"This would be a good gift for Sister March 7th."
Bai Zhi casually fiddled with the bow and nodded in satisfaction.
"Thank you, General Huaiyan."
"Hehe, it's nothing. Forging a good weapon is what I want. But Little Baizhi, the forging techniques you acquired earlier are quite good. I wonder if you have any interest in crafting?"
"Craftsmanship?"
"Well, engineering is a huge help to our Immortal Ship Alliance in developing to where it is today. I see that you have exceptional talent, so I would like to ask what your opinion is on engineering?"
Huai Yan smiled, he still couldn't resist, mainly because Bai Zhi's ability to restore objects was too good to pass up.
For research in this area, the limitations are often in material preparation and various instruments.
If a person can revisit their mistakes an infinite number of times, it means they have countless opportunities to try and fail.
Bai Zhi's ability is practically a divine body created by innate craftsmanship.
"As General Huaiyan said, whether it is the Cloud Riders that protect my Immortal Ship or the various objects created for the benefit of the people, the involvement of craftsmen is indispensable."
"If the general were to ask me my opinion on construction... I'm actually quite interested."
Bai Zhi spoke the truth.
"Hehe, that's good, that's good. Little Baizhi, would you be interested in visiting my Zhu Ming Immortal Boat occasionally?"
Huaiyan stroked his beard happily. It was good that he was interested; what he feared most was that no one was interested.
"what do you mean……"
"It's nothing. My granddaughter Yun Li will be returning to the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship with me soon. The little one seems to have a good impression of Xiao Baizhi. As an old man, I am quite busy, as I am in charge of the Construction Department and also have to maintain the affairs of the entire Zhu Ming Immortal Ship."
"I just hope that Xiao Baizhi can visit Yun Li more often on Zhu Ming Xian Zhou, so that the child won't be too withdrawn on weekdays."
"Of course, you can also come and visit the Construction Department of Zhu Ming Immortal Ship. I and everyone else will not hold back any information."
Chapter 795 The Invasion of Chaldea
"Senior, it seems that the Lostbelt we detected earlier has expanded again."
In Chaldea, a purple eggplant-shaped shield girl served a cup of coffee to a girl with orange-red hair, and then whispered something.
"Which Lostbelt was detected earlier?"
The orange-red-haired girl seemed somewhat confused, after all, she was often dragged into strange singularities or Lostbelts, or even into space, by strange Servants.
So much so that when Mash mentioned Lostbelts, her first thought wasn't what it was, but which Lostbelt it was.
"Uh... it's that Ming Dynasty Lostbelt. According to the detection results, the current timeline of that Lostbelt should be 1547, during the reign of the Jiajing Emperor in history."
Mashu scratched her head and then explained in detail.
"That space-time seems to be strongly calling to us, senior, shall we go and take a look?"
"Mash, will the anomaly in that spacetime affect our world?"
"Hmm... According to Da Vinci-chan, it might be a world independent of our history, and even if we don't save it, it won't affect the history of our world."
"However, Da Vinci said that the source of such a powerful Lostbelt must be extremely powerful. If we could recover it, it might provide considerable convenience to Chaldea."
"after all……"
Mash gave a wry smile. "With the increasing number of Servants in Chaldea, the previously abundant resources are starting to become strained."
"Well……"
Fujimaru Ritsuka turned to look at the several Saber-like Kings who were enjoying their meals in the Chaldea Dining Hall, and a white-haired man who was constantly cooking, and thought that what Da Vinci said was quite right.
If Chaldea continues to squander its resources like this, it will eventually run out of power.
"In that case, let's go take a look and work hard for everyone's living expenses!"
The girl stood up, suddenly filled with a strange fighting spirit.
"However, are there any restrictions on that Lostbelt?"
Mashu shook her head. "Senior, the information we currently have is that in that Lostbelt, it seems that a strange event occurred in the early Ming Dynasty, causing this huge country to awaken prematurely and then extend its tentacles to the whole world."
"This anomaly disrupted the original established history, and the distress signal should have come from the original human history."
"We have little information to share, senior. We may have no choice but to log in first and see if we can use the power of the ley lines to summon native Servants."
"Is that so? Okay, Mash, let's go into the Lostbelt and see what's going on."
Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned, but she was still quite accepting of it. This wasn't the first time she had encountered a similar situation; as a Master, she was always at the forefront.
Inside the preparation room, Da Vinci looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a serious expression. "Master, this Lostbelt is on a very large scale, unlike the smaller Lostbelts of the past."
Da Vinci paused for a moment, then said, "Based on the information we have so far, the Ming Dynasty has changed so much in its early stages. It's possible that it was influenced by some god-like beings, or... it was caused by extraterrestrial civilizations."
"Only these two things can cause the correction power of human history in that Lostbelt to fail, so you must be careful!"
"Gods... if we could summon Gilgamesh or Scáthach, perhaps there would be a way?"
Mashu said cautiously.
"Perhaps, but these two are probably not so easy to summon. Given the current situation, Servants from the future human history of that world are more likely to respond to the summons."
"And what's worse is the possibility of interference from extraterrestrial civilizations."
Da Vinci gave a wry smile. "If it's interference from extraterrestrial civilizations, it would be extremely difficult to use the Noble Phantasms of Servants to counter it."
"However... the probability may not be high. Once you two get to that Lostbelt, you can observe it carefully and perhaps make a judgment based on the level of technology."
"Generally speaking, if the Lostbelt is caused by extraterrestrial interference, it may have an incomprehensible level of technology. If the technology there is understandable, or even somewhat backward, then the possibility of extraterrestrial interference is relatively low."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka confidently patted her chest. Her numerous experiences in Lostbelts and Singularities had given her an exceptionally wealth of knowledge.
She has her own set of principles for navigating this unfamiliar world.
Da Vinci smiled. "I believe in my Master."
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded slightly, then entered the frame and began preparing for the spirit particle transfer.
……
A flash of white light appeared, and Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu opened their eyes.
"here it is?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked around and found herself surrounded by bustling crowds. Ahead, before a grand gate, was a sign that read: "Great Ming Dynasty, Fusang Pacification Commission."
Fujimaru Ritsuka:......
Mashu: ...
After only a moment of shock, Fujimaru Ritsuka decisively headed towards the pacification command post.
"Do you gentlemen have any business to conduct here?"
Inside the Pacification Office, a woman dressed in what appeared to be a uniform asked Fujimaru Ritsuka a question.
"senior!"
Mashu shouted somewhat anxiously, "Wouldn't it be too reckless to just barge into this organization?"
"you……"
The woman glanced at Mashu and frowned.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
Upon being looked at by the woman, Mashu nervously waved her hands repeatedly.
"Is this armor in the style of the European Pacification Commission? It's quite interesting. Are they sold here in Japan as well?"
"Uh...yeah."
"Haha, I knew it! Some of the clothes in Europe are quite interesting. Although they are not as gorgeous as those in my Ming Dynasty, they have their own unique style. Sigh, speaking of which, I used to dream of becoming a fashion designer, but I ended up passing the civil service exam and becoming an employee of the Pacification Commission in Japan."
"You two, what business do you have at the Pacification Commission? Are you here to become citizens of our Great Ming, or something else?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka swallowed hard and said boldly, "Sister, I'd like to see the naturalization requirements first."
"Oh, no problem. Our Great Ming welcomes any talented person to join us. This is our citizenship handbook. Take a look at it first. If you meet the requirements, we will review it quickly and grant you the glorious citizenship of the Great Ming."
The woman smiled and took a rather thick book from a shelf behind her, then handed it directly to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Chapter 796 The Lostbelt Created by Bai Zhi
Fujimaru Ritsuka gave Mash a wink, and Mash immediately understood and followed Fujimaru Ritsuka to a chair in the office hall of the Pacification Commissioner's Office, where she opened the booklet and began to read.
[The Great Ming Dynasty, a nation blessed by Heaven, saw the celestial being Bai Zhi descend to earth during the reign of Emperor Hongwu. This immortal possessed unparalleled supernatural powers; ordinary people could be healed of minor injuries and illnesses simply by offering a small prayer to her statue. Furthermore, the immortal enabled Emperor Hongwu of the Great Ming Dynasty to reverse time and regain his youth.]
"An immortal has descended to earth, senior. The source of this external interference is probably this Immortal Bai Zhi."
Mashu stared at the booklet with shining eyes. This time, the information came much more easily than ever before, even ridiculously easily.
In the past, if you wanted to figure out the background of the Lostbelt, you would almost always have to fight.
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded excitedly. Because of Chaldea's special circumstances, she had a very good grasp of history. Just thinking about it, she knew how many changes the founding emperor's rejuvenation would bring to the future.
"Senior, let's take a look at the rest."
Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately turned to the next page of the booklet.
On an auspicious day, the Hongwu Emperor was summoned to the celestial realm by a celestial being. He enjoyed a pleasant conversation with the celestial being, who then bestowed upon him the secrets of steam engine manufacturing. Overjoyed, the Hongwu Emperor immediately issued an edict throughout the land to extensively construct water conservancy projects, build railways, mine and smelt steel, and manufacture weapons and equipment. From then on, the Great Ming Dynasty was freed from the constraints of agrarianism and embarked on the path of steam-powered civilization.
By this time, our Great Ming Dynasty is no longer the nation of the past. The Pacification Commissions are spread across three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa, from Japan in the east to Rome in the west, from Arabia in the south to the Tatars in the north. Wherever they go, they treat people with benevolence and righteousness, and promote civilization through education. The officials of the Pacification Commissions are all selected from the elite of the court, some knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, some skilled in commerce and industry, and some proficient in both literary and military arts. Their actions are all aimed at benefiting the people of their respective regions and promoting exchanges between different places.
"Indeed, these technologies were bestowed by that Bai Zhi Immortal, but... why did that immortal disappear without a trace after that?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka flipped to the back and found that it was nothing more than the Ming Dynasty recruiting talents, saying that the current environment was very good and that a large number of talents were needed, and that they hoped that talented people would join the Ming Dynasty.
"Senior, why don't we ask that lady?"
Mashu suggested that the woman seemed very approachable and just an ordinary office worker, so she probably wouldn't do anything to them.
"okay."
Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment and immediately agreed to Mashu's suggestion.
