Original God: Being stepped on by Alechino at the beginning

　After all, Lu Li still couldn't adapt to the sudden change in his feelings.

　But now, after the embarrassment, Qianzhi's expression was still full of coldness, as if she didn't care about what happened just now at all.

　Lu Li nodded slightly, and at this moment he agreed to Qian Zhi's proposal and no longer took what happened just now to heart.

　"So, we're going back next?"

　Coming to Qianzhi and returning to Fontaine with her, Lu Li pretended to be indifferent and asked.

　Qianzhi nodded slightly. "It'll be evening after we go back and have dinner, which is perfect... I've got some new ideas for your next outfit. Also, if you're free, come to the shop and I'll take your measurements. Aren't you going to change your outfit for the new year? I remember Liyue has the Lantern Festival, right? As you said, we're both strangers in a foreign land. Although I can't help you much, I can still make you a new outfit. It's a commemoration of our friendship for over a year."

　"Haha, okay, I'll go if I'm free."

　After saying this with some emotion, Lu Li stretched slightly while speaking.

　"By the way, Chiori, I want to ask, will Clorinde come to your store soon?"

　"She left a coat with me to get the buttons mended. She should come over today or tomorrow to stay. What's going on? Do you have something to talk to her about?"

　Qianzhi didn't realize that if she said this in the past, she should still be calm, but now,

　After she finished speaking, she became a little impatient without even realizing it herself.

　However, Lu Li did not hear this. After all, Qian Zhi's tone was always straightforward and she rarely concealed anything.

　"Well, there are indeed some things. Not long ago, when I was on a mission, I happened to master a power that allowed me to control elemental forces even without the Eye of God."

　Lu Li explained softly at this moment.

　Qian Zhi suddenly stopped at this moment, and then looked at Lu Li with cold and serious eyes, "Evil Eye?"

　"No," Lu Li shook his head, "I don't need to pay any price to use this power."

　Hearing this, Qianzhi sneered, crossed her arms over her chest, and her face showed distrust.

　She knew Lu Li's hidden identity, or his other friends should also know it, but they didn't say it openly to each other, and Lu Li never inquired about their personal information, and was absolutely unwilling to involve them. This is why their friendship has been maintained so well.

　But today, Qianzhi was naturally a little angry when she learned that this guy was even willing to use such means in pursuit of power.

　Seeing her distrustful look, Lu Li said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll show you how to use it and you'll understand. Come closer, I can't control the power of my attack very well right now."

　Seeing that Lu Li didn't seem to be lying, although Qianzhi was a little confused, she still slowly approached him at this moment.

　But seeing her standing still some distance away from him, Lu Li was speechless.

　You helped me fall down just now, why are you still keeping your distance now?

　He simply reached out his hand at this moment and hugged Chizhi, who was smaller than him, into his arms.

　The cold and beautiful lady from Inazuma suddenly felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. She raised her head and was about to hit Lu Li a few times, but at this moment, she was surprised to see that the black eyes on the boy's handsome face suddenly turned golden.

　(This is...)

　Qianzhi didn't understand, but was shocked at this moment.

　As the holder of the Eye of God, Qianzhi is naturally very sensitive to elemental forces. At this moment, she clearly felt the sudden disorder of the surrounding elemental forces and the rapid rise in air temperature.

　The next moment, she saw that, with Lu Li and herself as the center, within a radius of five meters, as Lu Li finished chanting a series of unfamiliar characters, a violent explosion suddenly occurred!

　"boom--"

　Although this impact force was not aimed at Qianzhi, this cold and beautiful woman was able to clearly sense it -

　If this attack were to land on the street, or inside a building...

　This one strike alone could easily destroy a large block or even a building!

　Exaggerated power.

　Even some holders of the Fire Elemental God's Eye may not be able to master such a powerful force...

　At this moment, she raised her head, looked into Lu Li's golden eyes, and then said softly: "It really is not an evil eye, it is indeed of a very high standard. But don't tell me, you are looking for Clorinde to compete with her?"

　"That's not the case. I want to learn from her how to control elemental power and how to apply it in battle."

　Lu Li said sincerely.

　Qianzhi looked at the mess of burn marks around her, then nodded slightly, "That's right, this power does have room for learning and control... I understand. If I see Clorinde in the next two days, I will tell her."

　"Then I'll leave it to you, Chiori!"

　Lu Li uttered a soft thank you.

　Chapter 9: Lini's Request, the Noble Family of Lefebvre

　"Hey, Lu Li, where have you been today? Why haven't I seen you all day?"

　In the underground training ground of the Bufadi Mansion, after returning with Qianzhi, Lu Li plunged into the training ground and began to practice fighting and the use of weapons.

　Although he has obtained the power of [Word Spirit·Jun Yan] and can control fire from now on, this does not mean that Lu Li will over-rely on this ability and abandon his previous accumulation.

　At this moment, during the sword training exercise, Lu Li suddenly heard a familiar male voice behind him and turned his head to look over.

　What caught my eye was a handsome young man with teardrop moles at the corners of his eyes, a good figure, and wearing stockings and boots.

　Don't think this is transvestite. In fact, this is a very distinctive dressing style of some people in Fontaine. Lu Li once saw a group of tough guys from a remote town wearing plaid skirts when they entered the city, revealing a lot of leg hair.

　Therefore, it is not surprising to see the magician Linny wearing stockings.

　Sheathing his sword and wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, Lu Li said calmly, "It's you, Linnie. Today is finally a day off, so of course you have the whole day to yourself. What's up? Do you want to talk to me about something?"

　"Well, let's talk while we practice."

　Linnie took out the training sword from the weapon rack, waved it, and then spoke.

　The longsword wasn't his preferred weapon, Linnet was the better swordsman, but that didn't mean Linnie couldn't use it.

　At this moment, seeing that Linnie obviously wanted to spar with him, Lu Li probably realized that he wanted to talk to him while sparring to avoid looking too conspicuous, so he agreed.

　Both of them were taught swordsmanship by the "Servants" among the Fatui, and their standard swordsmanship, which mainly involves stabbing and slashing, was quite impressive when they practiced against each other.

　“想

　Please do me a favor, Lu Li. You happen to be free during this period, so you don't need to accept the task assigned by your father. I shouldn't have entrusted you with this task when you are resting, but I really don't have anyone suitable to ask for help in this matter.

　The swords collided with each other at this moment, sparking sparks, and Linny spoke solemnly at this moment.

　"We are all friends. Tell me, what is it that you need my help with?"

　Lu Li spoke softly at this moment as he swung out several sword strikes against the sword blade.

　"It's about Linnet, the Lefevere family. Do you remember what I told you?"

　Lu Li was slightly stunned, and then his eyes turned cold. "Is it that group of bastards and perverted nobles? Could there be some fish that have slipped through the net?"

　The Lefevere family is an aristocratic family in Fontaine.

　Once, when Linny and Linnet lost their parents and were wandering the streets performing magic, a noble family took them in and used them to perform magic at dinner parties, attract the howlers, and adjust the atmosphere of the party.

　But as the two of them couldn't make much progress in their skills, people became a little tired of watching them. The head of the family also gradually realized that the value of this pair of siblings was getting lower and lower. After a magic show, the head of the family sent the siblings away and took Linnett to the Lefevere family mansion, intending to hand her over to the patriarch of the Lefevere family, **. After all, that guy was a pedophile pervert, not to mention that Linnett had the ancestral cat ears and cat tail characteristics.

　Fortunately, at that time, the servant Alechino was carrying out a vigorous assassination mission, and his target was the current head of the Lefebvre family. He happened to see this pervert trying to do something bad to her, so he naturally executed the pervert and rescued Linnet who was almost killed.

　After that, it was natural for him to act as an adoptive father and take in the brother and sister, allowing them to join the Hearth House.

　Linnie whispered, "We were packing up to leave during a routine magic show when we overheard a few people discussing these matters. We learned that there were still members of the Lefevere family who had slipped through the net and were plotting to seize the family's legacy left in the wild."

　"Whether it's out of personal vendetta or to avoid possible trouble for Hearth House, we must investigate and then deal with it."

　Linny's eyes were full of coldness.

　Lu Li understood his thoughts and nodded slightly. While discussing with him, he said in a deep voice, "I understand. I'll help with this matter as well. What do you need me to do?"

　"Are you free tomorrow? If so, we'll launch our operation tomorrow night. Since we're deliberately avoiding Linnet and need to split up, I came to you specifically."

　"Of course, if the situation worsens and it becomes clear that we are not fit to continue advancing, we should be ready to withdraw and discuss this later."

　Lini said, "No matter what, you still have to be careful. This is not your only chance."

　Lu Li nodded slightly, and then said softly at this moment: "I have no problem, but are you so sure that you won't disturb Linnet? She must care about you as her brother."

　Linnie said somewhat awkwardly, "That's why we're moving at night. We'll gather here after she falls asleep and then set off."

　That's it!

　Lu Li suddenly understood, then nodded without any objection.

　Is this a member of the Lefevre family who slipped through the net?

　I never thought that even after the Hearth House had completely fallen into ruin after the patriarch and many of its key members were assassinated, there would still be survivors amidst the vendettas waged by hostile forces...

　Linny and Linnet had helped him more than once, and they had collaborated with each other on many occasions. They were true friends.

　In this case, there is no reason to sit idly by when a friend asks for help.

　Lu Li's eyes turned cold.

　Chapter 10 Clorinde's Help

　The next morning, while drinking coffee and eating breakfast at Luze Cafe, just like yesterday, before I finished my breakfast, a mysterious visitor suddenly sat down in the seat in front of me.

　She has a mature and voluptuous figure, and her impressive bust makes people wonder why the buttons of her white underwear can actually hold up instead of bursting...

　The standard cape and side hat revealed her identity as a fighting agent, while her delicate, serious and stern face declared that this queen was not someone to be trifled with.

　She is none other than the last Shadow Hunter of Fontaine, the strongest duel agent - Clorinde.

　"I heard Qianzhi say that you came to me and wanted to learn how to control elemental power," Clorinde said softly at this moment. She reached out and slightly lifted the brim of her hat, looking at Lu Li curiously. After a moment of silence, she continued: "She told me that you don't have the Eye of God, but you don't control elemental power through the Evil Eye either. Is that correct?"

　Lu Li nodded slightly, "That's right... However, the Evil Eye... I might be assigned to use it later, but at least for now, my power definitely doesn't require any price."

　"I understand," Clorinde nodded slightly, then took out a booklet from her pocket, placed it on the table and pushed it towards Lu Li. "Unfortunately, I've been quite busy lately, so I probably won't have much time to meet you. In that case, I don't know how to even start training."

　"However, regarding how to control elemental forces in battle, after learning about your situation yesterday, I spent the entire night writing this booklet. I hope it will be helpful to you.

　It helps.”

　Clorinde said softly, "It contains a systematic training method. Combining my personal experience and my assessment of your physical fitness, I have developed a training plan that is most suitable for you at this moment."

　Lu Li was a little surprised, and then said excitedly: "This is really...helpful...Thanks, Clorinde!"

　"Well, you're welcome. After all, you're one of my few friends." Hearing this, Clorinde smiled softly and then said softly, "If you follow the training methods above, you should be able to strengthen your elemental power control. You may see rapid progress at first, but it will slow down later... Also, I hope we won't go to war with each other in the future."

　Lu Li was slightly stunned, then said softly, "No. If I really receive such a mission one day, I will either stay home due to illness or go far away... I won't make things difficult for either of us."

　A complex expression flashed across Clorinde's beautiful eyes upon hearing this. She nodded and said softly, "That's enough for now. My identity is somewhat sensitive. Some tabloid reporters might discover my whereabouts at any time and create unimaginable gossip. I'll be leaving now."

　"Remember, follow the training methods, and don't be too ambitious or plan ahead."

　"it is good!"

　Lu Li stood up, watched Clorinde leave in a hurry, looked at the booklet on the book, and clenched it slightly at this moment.

　If you want to disobey orders in an organization like the Fatui and not do things you don't want to do, you must be strong enough to ignore the so-called rules.

　That is... at least up to the level of an executive officer.

　He doesn't have this ability now, but that doesn't mean he won't have it in the future.

　Just as he told Clorinde, if one day he had to take action against a friend... he would never choose to resort to violence.

　Anyway, he is a lonely man without brothers, sisters, parents or relatives. If he is really forced to take that step, he will just start running.

　Although doing so would be tantamount to betrayal, the price to pay would definitely be painful...

　After taking a deep breath, Lu Li began to look through the training method notes left by Clorinde.

　After reading just a few pages, Lu Li raised his eyebrows in surprise.

　I have to say Clorinde is truly remarkable. It turns out there's a way to train elemental power, and to apply it in combat. There's actually such a quick shortcut, and there are no side effects...

　Elemental burst, elemental enchantment on weapons, so this is what it is all about...

　While flipping through books to expand my knowledge of elemental power, I was also thinking about how to use elemental power in battle.

　Soon, after briefly reading the booklet in his hand, Lu Li took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

　It was decided that we would go back to the training grounds of the Bufadi Mansion to practice.

　If you follow the above records, you will probably be able to roughly achieve elemental enchantment on weapons in just one afternoon. In this way, your strength can be easily improved to a new level!

　In this way, we will be more confident when we act together with Linnie at night.

　Chapter 11: Linnet's Joining, Underwater Factory and [Les]

　At night, in the early hours of the morning

　Linnie quietly left the dormitory and walked along the dark corridor, looking back every few steps to see if anyone was following him.
