The more she learned about the ruling structure and operating methods of the Shenzhou Empire, the more Yae Kamiko had a feeling that the management model of the Inazuma shogunate was like a child playing house.
Ning Qingxuan was not surprised at all. Just think about it and you will know that for a country to function normally, it is impossible that only three principles are enough.
The Kanjo Bugyo was in charge of diplomacy and trade, the Tenryo Bugyo was in charge of military affairs, and the Sha Bugyo was in charge of sacrifices, rituals, and various ceremonies and festivals.
And then what? That's it? Is this all a country needs to take care of?
This can no longer be described by the four words "rule by doing nothing", this is completely open.
Of course, the continent of Teyvat naturally has its own unique social conditions. The prerequisite of "gods walking on the earth" alone is enough to make the human countries there embark on a completely different path from the humans in this world.
No matter what you do, there is a God looking down on you, so what are you worried about?
Gods are the biggest and most solid backup for the human kingdom of Teyvat, but it is undeniable that their existence to a certain extent greatly influences and even limits the various possibilities of the countries they rule.
But this is not what Ning Qingxuan cares about. He turned off the holographic projection and looked sideways at the Eightfold Son of God: "You came to me in the middle of the night, not just to say this, right?"
"Of course not! Where's that feather? I'm particularly interested in angel feathers! Show it to me~"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a gust of fragrant wind accompanied by the jingling of jewelry.
As the palace maids called out "Greetings, Miss Ying", the general walked slowly into the hall, came to Ning Qingxuan and sat down next to him.
After all, he had been out of the palace today and was inevitably contaminated with dust, so after returning to the palace, Yun Xiao arranged for the general to take a bath.
The original large furisode kimono was taken down and washed, and the general was naturally replaced with a gorgeous Han palace dress.
Her long purple hair was tied into a simple bun, and she adorned herself with a high-standard headpiece that was clearly not something that ordinary noble ladies were qualified to wear. It perfectly magnified the various advantages of the general's already excellent face.
As she walked, the flying phoenix hairpin on her head swayed gently, shining brightly under the warm light.
The peony flower ornament between her eyebrows, the sparkling gold-carved earrings, and the extremely tight-fitting gorgeous palace dress almost made Yae Shinto fall off the windowsill.
——She ran ahead out of curiosity, why did the general change so much?!
After seeing the general sitting next to Ning Qingxuan, the Yayoi Son of God felt a subtle sense of disharmony becoming more and more intense.
She was keenly aware that if Ning Qingxuan was not around, the general's behavior would be no different from that of a normal person, but once Ning Qingxuan was with the general, the general would often become mute, and unless others were clearly talking to the general, it would be Ning Qingxuan who spoke most of the time.
The general would just watch quietly from the side, his eyes gentle and calm as a virgin.
It was as if she was the same gentle and heartbreakingly quiet figure in my memory.
Thunder and lightning are real.
"I would have let you come even if you didn't tell me."
Ning Qingxuan's words interrupted the Eightfold God's Son's thoughts, and then she saw Ning Qingxuan taking out an extremely exquisite small box from under the table.
I don't know what Ning Qingxuan did, but she just lightly touched the box with her fingertips and the lock opened.
At the bottom of the box, a white feather was lying quietly.
Even under the bright lights in the hall, it can be clearly seen that there is a faint milky white halo around the feathers.
Yae Shinko jumped directly from the windowsill and landed silently on the table. She walked to the box with her short legs and put her nose close to the feathers and sniffed.
Well, like a puppy.
It seems that after becoming Miss Fox, some canines' instinctive habits can no longer be suppressed.
Ning Qingxuan took out the feather and placed it on the table, then she and the general looked at the Eightfold Son of God: "Then, please start your performance."
Although the general was there, it would be fine if it was the real Lei movie, but since it was actually Ning Qingxuan inside, even if Ning Qingxuan used the general's body, there was no way she could really do anything to the feather.
Things like this involving the occult are better left to professionals.
The Eightfold Son of God rolled his eyes at Ning Qingxuan, squatted on the table, looked down at the feathers in front of him, his purple eyes flickering.
It was not obvious at first, but soon, the purple light in Miss Fox's eyes became extremely bright.
At the same time, the milky white halo from Gabriel's angel feathers also increased in brightness by several levels, and even floated in the air.
"General! Quick, quick, quick! Try to guide the lightning element through this feather. It doesn't take too much!"
Yae Shinko suddenly realized something and spoke quickly.
The general tapped his fingertips, an arc of electricity popped out, and in an instant the angel's feathers glowed white. At the same time, the Eye of God that served as a pendant on the fox ear of the Eightfold Son of God also emitted a bright light!
Ning Qingxuan: "——!?"
Isn't this the special effect after the character's ultimate skill in the game is fully charged?
"Wow… so awesome!"
There was an uncontrollable surprise in Yae Shinko's tone: "After passing through this feather, the lightning element in your body that I always felt was missing has been replenished! This feeling is stronger than directly contacting the elemental power of Teyvat itself!"
When Ning Qingxuan heard this, her heart moved and a certain guess began to take shape.
Although many years have passed, he still remembers that the underlying logic of Teyvat is Gnostic mythology.
Putting this aside, according to the analysis of some archaeologists in his previous life, combined with the information revealed in the game before he crossed over, the basic structure of Teyvat is composed of the so-called three realms.
The realm of light, the realm of man, and the realm of nothingness.
According to the story descriptions of some holy relics and breakthrough materials, as well as an in-game book called "The Past Life of Sun and Moon", the "Light Realm Force" that exists in the Light Realm is actually the original and most primitive tyrannical elemental force.
After some kind of transformation or neutralization, this power evolved into the so-called seven elemental forces of Teyvat.
It's like light is scattered and becomes up to seven colors.
The seven elements filled the continent of Teyvat, directly leading to the birth of various elemental monsters among the creatures living there.
(Could it be that the missing thing that the Son of God could not even explain clearly was actually referring to a certain characteristic left after the original light world force was harmlessly transformed into elemental force?)
Ning Qingxuan felt that she had grasped some truth.
Elemental power is decomposed from the original light world power, and the same is true for the thunder element. Therefore, it can be inferred that the so-called thunder element power must also contain certain components of the original light world power.
——You can't say that the purple light scattered from white light is not light, right?
Ning Qingxuan looked at Gabriel's feathers again.
(…So, the holy light of angels, to some extent, has a certain degree of commonality with the original light world force? It stands to reason that the original light world force cannot be normally accepted by the creatures of Teyvat, otherwise there would not be so much trouble to disassemble it into the seven elemental forces.
But considering the characteristics of creatures like angels, perhaps the holy light contained in it is milder than the violent original light world force, so this fox is now like taking a tonic?)
As soon as this thought came to mind, Ning Qingxuan and the general heard the Son of God scream:
"I...I feel like I'm going to change back!!!"
