I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 117 Moon Two, Three, Four... Seven, the Divine Child's Urging Phone Call, the Spark of War...

If a strange girl were hugged like this, she would definitely yell "pervert!" and call for arresting machine gunners.

Unfortunately, Chen Bo and Naxida were just too familiar with each other.

The kind that's perfectly ripe.

We spent nearly two months together, which is comparable to several years for others.

They truly spent every day together, inseparable.

In the dream, the two of them were always doing scientific research together, truly inseparable 24 hours a day.

Nasida leaned back in her chair, showing no sign of tension. This feeling of being completely protected actually made her relax.

"It's a very unique design, thank you."

The hatch closed.

The drone emitted a crimson tail flame as it rose from the ground and soared into the night sky.

The flight was smooth, without any turbulence. Nasita leaned against the porthole, looking out.

The city of Sumeru shrank in view, turning into a glowing sand table.

The lights of the Grand Bazaar, the tower of the Abbey of the Sangharaja, and the outline of the Jingshan Palace are all within view.

Although I've watched it many times, I still want to watch it again every time I take off.

The vast rainforest shimmered in varying shades of green under the moonlight. Rivers meandered through it. The night wind was kept out of the cabin, and she pressed her hand against the glass, tracing the contours of the mountains.

This is the beautiful land she wants to protect.

The secret base in the rainforest was nearby; ten minutes later, the drone began its descent.

The aircraft landed smoothly.

The hatch opens and the seatbelts unlock automatically.

As flames rose, the drone transformed back into Chen Bo's appearance.

He took out an enterprise-grade 3D printer from the storage space and brought out boxes of materials from a nearby cave.

"Time is of the essence, let's begin."

The raw materials, excluding metals, were mostly purchased from Dolly.

For Chen Bo at this point in time, the design of Luna One can be described as quite rudimentary.

Both the power source and the main materials are quite outdated.

Chen Bo was updating the design, while Nasita was drawing alchemy arrays and putting in alchemy materials.

Once the parts are printed, all the materials will undergo a refining process to become elemental metals, before final assembly.

Two hours passed.

Six stand-alone dolls, or rather six mechanical skeletons, are neatly arranged on the grass, eyes closed, waiting to be activated. They are Luna 2 through 7.

These six bodies, lacking skin, were also unclothed.

We've reached the point where we can fuse the gold skin.

The manufacturing process went smoothly, but a practical problem arose.

The body is unclothed.

Chen Bo rummaged through his storage space. He had accumulated a bunch of odds and ends from the lottery draws, which he hadn't organized before, so now he could only flip through the pages one by one.

"The uniforms for the frontline employees of Interstellar Peace Company are bulletproof and fireproof, but the size is wrong."

66

"The traditional robe of Xianzhou Luofu is made of good material, but it's a little too big. It'll do, though."

"The Pam train conductor's hoodie is made of pure cotton, so it's very warm, and the size is also good."

Soon, they found seven sets of clothes, but none of them were proper.

"Just wear these for now."

The dolls received instructions, began to put on clothes, and then fused with alchemical skin.

Remote access via consciousness.

Five minutes later.

Six "Naxida" stood in a row on the grass.

Nasita herself looked at this group of "herself".

What strange clothes are these?

None of them fit properly.

She tried to maintain her divine composure. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

When I opened my eyes again, I was still there, dressed in strange clothes.

She turned her head away and covered her face with her hands.

His shoulders were shaking uncontrollably.

Chen Bo rested his chin on his hand, looking at his masterpiece.

It's so spicy it hurts my eyes.

He coughed twice.

"Let's cover it up with a holographic projection first. These clothes don't fit properly, I'm sorry to have to make you suffer. Tomorrow, Senior Falushan and I are going to Fontainebleau for a trip, and we'll take care of this problem then."

"There's a very stylish designer in Fontaine. I'll go ask her to create custom-made outfits for the Moonlit series tomorrow. Everyone needs a different style. Those going to Inazuma will wear kimonos, those going to Liyue will wear qipaos, and those going to Mondstadt will wear knight outfits."

Although holographic projection is available, clothing is still very necessary.

You can't just go without clothes, can you?

Nasita lowered her hand and agreed to the suggestion.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do; this makes it easier for each of me to integrate into the local community."

As the holographic projection was activated, all six Nasitas, dressed in bizarre costumes, transformed into normal attire.

At least it fits much better now.

Nasita herself stood to the side, scrutinizing the group of identical versions of herself. She reached out and touched the hem of Number Six's dress, her fingertips piercing through the holographic image and touching the fabric of the Immortal Boat cheongsam.

"Optical camouflage can only fool the eye."

"For emergency use." Chen Bo dusted off his hands. "Tomorrow I'll go to Fontainebleau to have Qianzhi make physical clothes, ensuring everyone has a unique set."

Everything is ready.

Luna One then spoke up, saying, "I received a call request from the Divine Child. Your main body has asked me to transfer the call."

Answer the call.

A floating weapon flew over, and holographic projections intertwined, revealing the figure of the Divine Child.

"Great scientist, it's past midnight, where are you?"

Yae no Miko's voice rang out, her languid tone concealing a hint of impatience rarely seen in her.

Chen Bo has not yet set off, saying, "It'll be soon, we're making preparations for the battle."

After the call was connected, Shenzi was also able to see the background behind Chen Bo through the screen.

Hmm? The rainforest is still.

Is this... not yet?

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the communication channel.

Immediately afterward, Yae no Miko's voice rose eight octaves: "Don't tell me we agreed to meet at Narukami Shrine this morning, and you haven't even left Sumeru yet!"

The priestess stood under the cherry blossom tree at Narukami Shrine, clutching a communication terminal in her hand. She had been waiting for a month, practically day and night, but the other party still hadn't come out.

Is that correct?

"Don't rush, Divine Child," Chen Bo replied. "Don't you know my speed? If I say I'll arrive in the morning, I'll arrive on time."

"Calling me in the middle of the night, could something have happened?"

The goddess rubbed her temples, abandoning her joking thoughts. She sent over a set of coordinate data.

"No time for arguing. You don't need to come to Narukami Shrine. Go to these coordinates first. A batch of medicinal herbs was smuggled from Haiji Island to Liyue. My surveillance shows that the Haiji Island smuggling fleet has been targeted by the Kansei Magistrate."

"The fleet dispatched by the censors has already set sail to seize this shipment."

"The land on the island is not suitable for cultivation, and there is a severe shortage of food and medicinal herbs. If this shipment is lost, the already difficult situation on Haizhi Island will likely worsen, and it may even become the fuse for war."

Chen Bo asked, "Has the Eye Hunt Order been issued?"

The Eye Hunt Order will become the trigger for war, and Haizhi Island will recruit soldiers under the pretext of resisting the Eye Hunt Order.

During this period, Chen Bo hadn't paid much attention to Inazuma, so he asked her about it.

The divine child paused for a moment, then said, "The Eye Hunting Order? You mean the Eye Hunting Order issued a week ago?"

Chen Bo understood: "I will set off immediately to secure this batch of medicines. We expect to arrive at the target sea area in an hour and a half."

Divine Child: "Okay, as quickly as possible."

After cutting off the communication, Chen Bo turned to look at Naxida.

Nasita had already heard the communication. She looked up at Chen Bo, waiting for his instructions.

Chen Bo looked at Naxida and said, "Let Moon One, Two, and Three go to Inazuma with me."

"Number one will stay with the shrine maiden and observe Inazuma's situation from her perspective. Number two will stay on Umijima Island and serve as the assistant to the current shrine maiden. Number three will fight alongside me."

Naxi Da herself nodded, acknowledging Chen Bo's arrangement.

She herself will definitely remain in the Order of the Fathers.

She cannot leave, but her data clone can.

Even when disconnected, these clones retain considerable intelligence.

You can log in anytime.

"Go." Nasita walked up to the three clones, straightened the collar of the first one, and said, "See the outside world clearly, record the scenery I have never seen and the conflicts I have never experienced, and then tell me."

Chen Bo closed his eyes and issued new instructions through Luna 1.

Divine Armor, activate!

Chen Bo's divine armor is hidden in a natural cave in the nearby mountain.

A streak of light flew out of the cave and hovered behind Chen Bo.

This is a humanoid mech standing three meters tall. Moonlight shines on the metal armor, reflecting a chilling luster.

The mecha has seven fist-sized energy cores embedded in its chest, arranged in a ring, with seven distinct elemental halos flowing within them.

To create this divine mech, Chen Bo used countless rare materials and combined the most advanced mechanical and alchemy technologies of the Order Academy.

The mecha's head features a smooth, streamlined shape, with the goggles illuminated by a vibrant green light representing the element of grass.

That's where the central processing system is located, with computing power remotely provided by Nasita.

The back armor extends outwards, folding into wings covered with wind element patterns. On the keel of the wings are three shining wind element cores.

The main armor on the chest is the thickest, with patterns of water and lightning interwoven on the surface.

The left arm armor was ice blue, with a chill slowly seeping out, while the right arm was dark red, with multiple fire element cores at the joints, constantly radiating heat.

The legs are robustly constructed, forged from the strongest rock element alloy, providing unparalleled load-bearing capacity and explosive power.

Yes, this is a seven-element armor.

It is composed of seven sets of elemental armor, which can be dispersed into seven sets of elemental armor.

The core can be filled with ordinary elemental crystals, which are then further compressed and used as a power source.

You can also use phaseless elements directly.

Going a step further, it can contain the heart of God.

Its peak form consists of a body composed of seven formless elements, carrying seven divine hearts, all combined together.

However, Chen Bo has only mastered the Flame of No Form at present.

And the Heart of Thor, which I'll be getting soon.

Chen Bo's Formless Flame clone's main body structure collapsed, and its humanoid shell transformed into a pure crimson stream of fire, drawing an arc in the air before drilling straight into the fire element core in the mecha's chest.

The mecha received its master's consciousness.

Beside the emerald green light in its eyes, a scarlet dot appeared, and the seven energy cores accelerated their operation simultaneously, their deep humming echoing through the night sky.

Accompanied by high-frequency energy vibrations, countless streams of light shot out from the depths of the cave.

One hundred and eight rhomboid floating cannons, like a swarm of bees emerging from their hive, quickly formed a formation in mid-air, hovering and flying around the mecha.

The wind elemental wings on the back of the mecha spread open, and a gale howled, causing the surrounding trees to bend and sway.

Fire elements spread along the patterns on the surface of the machine to the wings, and the turquoise wind wings transformed into two huge fiery wings.

The wings folded forward, creating a semi-transparent protective shield made of composite elements.

Or, to put it another way, fairing.

Without Chen Bo's main mech's wind-breaking ability, the speed of the floating cannons and the Moon series would be limited to below twice the speed of sound.

Any higher and it will melt.

"Follow me, let's go."

"Set off to give the Kanjō-bō-ch ...

After saying that, Chen Bo's legs and winged dragon bones emitted dazzling light, and flames shot out, causing the huge mecha to rise from the ground.

The sound barrier was broken the instant of takeoff, and the shockwave created a white sonic boom cloud in mid-air.

The three little girls and hundreds of floating cannons accelerated together under the protection of the fairing, leaving a long trail of fire in the sky as they headed straight for the Inazuma Sea.

Inazuma—

The waters east of Haizhi Island.

The sea breeze carried a salty, fishy smell. Dark clouds obscured the moonlight, casting a gloomy shadow over the sea.

Five Atakebune ships of the Shogunate army lined up in a crescent shape, blocking three dilapidated merchant ships from the island of Kaijima in the reef area.

On the deck of the merchant ship, the soldiers from Haizhi Island gripped their rifles tightly, guarding several cargo holds filled with wooden crates behind them.

Goro stood at the very front, his dog ears perked up, never letting go of the bow and arrow in his hand.

There was no other way; the merchant ships were piled high with cargo, and their speed was slower than that of the larger ships that were being transported by the Imperial Envoy.

They were caught up with very quickly.

Although it was a ship designated for inspection and enforcement, the soldiers on board were actually soldiers of the Heavenly Order.

The one leading the group was Kujo Sara.

"Give up resistance," Kujo Sara shouted, urging them to surrender. "Hand over the contraband, and I can guarantee your safety. If you resist, we'll have no choice but to open fire."

She did not want to start a war here; the duty of the shogunate army was to maintain the stability of Inazuma, not to massacre.

However, the origin of these supplies is unknown. The report submitted by the military commissioner pointed out that these were contraband items used by Haiji Island to expand its military capabilities.

Therefore, Kujo Takayuki, the head of the Kujo family, dispatched her to lead a team onto the ship, determined to seize this batch of smuggled goods.

Goro gritted his teeth and refused to back down an inch.

"Kujo Sara, stop pretending!" Goro retorted loudly, "This ship is loaded with medicines for treating common diseases, not contraband."

Kujo Sara's eyebrows twitched slightly.

The intelligence report sent by the magistrate did not mention that this shipment contained medicine for treating common diseases.

Along with Kujo Sara, there were also members of the Hiiragi family, who were the magistrates of the Kansei clan, but they were relatives of the imperial family.

Hiiragi Sōjirō stood to the side and behind Kujō Sara, shouting loudly, "Lord Kujō, why waste your breath on these unruly people from Kaigi Island! The rules of the outlying islands are clear: any goods without the official seal of the Enforcer are smuggled! Just order an attack!"

Kujo Sara glanced at Hiiragi Sōjirō: "Shut up. The Tenryō Magistrate is in charge of the affairs; it's not up to the magistrate to tell us what to do."

Then, they tried to persuade him to surrender once more.

"I'll say it one last time. Lower the sails and submit to inspection."

"If you do not surrender in ten minutes, we will take coercive measures."

Goro did not answer, but instead drew his bowstring taut in response.

The soldiers on Haizhi Island also raised their weapons, preparing for a final, desperate battle.

This batch of medicines must be preserved.
