In the sleeping place, Sandonie, Chenxi and An, who had left the inner world, came back to their senses from a brief trance.

Chen Xi rubbed his head and said, "No matter how many times I go through something like this, I can never get used to it."

"The change of space will inevitably lead to physical discomfort. It is unavoidable." Sandone was also a little dizzy. She leaned lightly against the building behind her to support her body.

An was obviously in a very depressed mood and didn't say a word.

Looking at An like this, Chen Xi frowned slightly: "So, what is the reason for that guy staying in there?"

"It's something that must be obtained. It concerns the future of all Fontaine and even the entire Teyvat." Sandoni said it in general terms.

Chen Xi shrugged: "You are so weird, can the sky fall?"

"Who knows?" Sandoni said, looking at An who was still silent, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

When An heard her voice, he raised his head timidly: "I'm a little confused."

"Confused?" Sandoni tilted his head, seemingly not understanding.

Ann considered her words carefully, and then said, "I don't know why, but I always recall things that I haven't experienced. Marian...she makes me feel very kind and familiar, and this name always makes me feel a little excited, as if...we are connected by fate."

“…” Sandonie pursed his lips and asked after a while, “Do you want to know the reason?”

"Yes." An answered without hesitation.

Seeing her like this, Sandoni didn't intend to hide it: "Because, you are Marian."

"What?" Ann was a little confused. This was the first time she had heard of this statement. She subconsciously wanted to question it, but a voice in her heart told her that this was true. "Are you saying that Marian is fake?"

Chen Xi shook her head slowly: “She is Marianne, and so are you. You were originally one, but later you were separated.

The memories you recall are actually Marianne's memories, but something happened later and you became what you are now."

Ann tried hard to digest the information she had received. After a long while, she murmured, "Marianne... I am... Marianne... Those painful and happy memories are all things that happened in the past...

Al... Jacques... and cabbages... No, there are no cabbages at all. Al is Alain, and cabbages are actually me. "

"An..." Chenxi felt that something was wrong with An and wanted to stop her from continuing to reminisce.

Sandoni shook his head at her. "Let her figure out her identity. It will be good for us too."

An's trance state lasted for a long time, so long that even when Saphir left the tower and returned here, An had not yet awakened from his memories of the past.

As soon as he came out, he saw An who was obviously not in good condition. Saphir was a little confused: "What happened?"

Chen Xi spread his hands towards her with a helpless expression on his face: "Recalling the past. Suddenly, I started to have a burst of self-awareness."

"Is that so..." Saphir frowned upon hearing this. "Although recovering those past memories can help us understand many unknown things, strong emotional stimulation may cause her cognitive impairment. We are not that anxious, are we?"

"Don't worry about it for now. Did you get the things?" Sandone didn't care that much about Marianne's condition. She cared more about Marian's heart.

Saphir nodded immediately and pointed at Ann: "It's this little girl. We have to take her away."

"Well...unexpected, but reasonable." Sandoni raised his eyebrows slightly and quickly accepted the fact.

After waiting for a long time, An gradually came to his senses. When he opened his eyes, he saw several people waiting quietly.

"Ah!" An was startled, then quickly calmed down, "Have you... been waiting for me all this time?"

Saphir folded his arms and looked at her: "Otherwise, should I leave you here alone?"

"It's okay for me to be alone. I've come this far after all these years." An looked away awkwardly, as if he didn't dare to look Safir in the eye.

Her reaction was somewhat intriguing in Saphir's eyes.

After staring at An for a few seconds, Saphir finally chose not to ask any more questions. Instead, he turned to the others and said, "Let's go. It's time to go back."

"That's true. The Narcissus Cross Adventure Group has been delayed for so long, I guess everything over there has been almost prepared." Sandoni nodded in agreement.

Chenxi followed Saphir with her hands behind her back, staggering with every step, while An floated beside her.

The three people plus a pure water elf embarked on the journey back home.

Three days later, the Furnace District.

The forging equipment has been completely completed in the past few days. After some experiments to ensure its safety, Saphir called Xier and others to gather here.

The forging of Suqiu Jinbimei has been delayed for a long time, and it must be completed today.

Sandogne returned to the temporary base he had established in Fontaine, and after a short rest he went to Merlot Petersburg to inspect Donoa's transformation.

After making sure everything was OK, she informed Leosley of the situation and now was waiting for news from Saphir.

After An returned to Fontaine, he met Ying and Xiao Paimeng. The three of them hit it off immediately and quickly became good friends.

Saphir didn't pay attention to what was happening over there for the time being. Her energy was currently focused on forging weapons.

"The materials have been prepared. Let's check if there are any omissions and make sure everything is fine, then we will start forging." Looking at the group of people standing in front of him, Saphir said seriously.

Shuanghua had moved the materials needed here early. He motioned for Saphir to look over and introduced, "I have prepared some of Inazuma's precious materials. See if there is anything missing. If there is, I can go back and get it."

He said he was going back to get it, but in fact he was just going to Chen Ge Hu to fleece Ying.

Saphir checked carefully: "Hmm... purple crystal blocks, magic crystal blocks... Hmm? Shuanghua, why are all the materials you prepared related to the element of lightning?"

"Uh... Inazuma is rich in these, so..." Shuanghua stretched out her index finger and scratched her cheek. This was bound to happen.

Saphir sighed and said, "Forget it. Inazuma does have a lot of this kind of stuff, but you have to know that Suakijinbimei is a special weapon of the water element, and it doesn't really need materials related to the thunder element...

You go ask Ying if there are any special materials from Haizhi Island. I remember the coral pearls there have the ability to increase affinity with water elements, and then get some crystallized bone marrow."

"Crystallized bone marrow?" When Shuanghua heard this thing, his face became strange. He still remembered very clearly that in order to deal with Hiiragi Shinsuke, Saphir accused the other party of insulting the remains of the demon in the name of Orobas' old friend.

In the blink of an eye, is this guy planning to target Crystallized Bone Marrow? What a fickle woman.

Saphir didn't care what he was thinking. Seeing his embarrassment, he simply said, "If it doesn't work, go find Xin Hai and draw blood from that shameless snake. It will be the same."

"Cough cough..." Shuanghua almost choked and quickly waved her hands to get ready.

He left, and Saphir looked at Furninna and Krevy, who were standing aside with a curious look on their faces: "You two..."

"Any instructions? I will definitely help!" Finina's eyes lit up. Krevy also nodded vigorously.

Safir hesitated for a moment, then pinched his brows. It was probably too late for them to go hunt the alien species in the original sea now. Besides, neither of them had the Eye of God, and it would take too long to go back and forth.

"You go find Linny and ask him to arrange for someone to send over a batch of heterochromatic crystal stones of better quality." Saphir waved his hand and sent the two men off to run errands.

Then she looked at Kunfeng again: "Should the white iron ore be prepared?"

"Don't worry, sir. We'll give you as much as you want!" Kunfeng immediately patted his chest and promised.

Kunfeng had forged weapons with Saphir and knew very well that no matter what kind of weapon it was, the basic materials were the same. There was a reason why tin blocks could become the basic material for most weapons.

Soon, the people arranged by Linny delivered the materials, and then Shuanghua came back with an awkward expression.

He thought Ying would be surprised when he asked for the crystallized bone marrow, but he didn't expect that after Ying heard it, he would directly ask someone to go to the treasury to get it.

There was actually a certain amount of crystallized bone marrow in the Inazuma treasury, which made Shuanghua feel that she might not have known Ying as her mother at all before.

Although Ying seems dull, he actually has a clear distinction between public and private affairs in his heart, and knows clearly what is interest and what is politics.

Noticing Shuanghua's expression, Saphir slightly raised the corners of his lips but did not comment. Naughty kids always have an inexplicable filter for their parents. They either think their parents are invincible or think their parents are useless.

In the eyes of old monsters like Saphir and Zhongli, Ying is indeed a little naive or immature, but that doesn't mean she is stupid. On the contrary, Ying is not much inferior to other gods in terms of skill.

After all, he is a thousand-year-old monster, so he can't do these things too badly.

What Shuanghua saw was just the tip of the iceberg. When he was willing to start understanding his mother, the things he didn't know in the past would slowly emerge, breaking his cognition again and again.

"Xier, fire." With Saphir's command, the pure white spiritual fire began to burn fiercely.

Looking at the strange flame, Shuanghua couldn't help but take a step back.

When he backed up, he bumped into Fushe behind him and had to stop. When he looked up at Fushe, Fushe just stared at the flames with burning eyes: "To forge a weapon, the first thing to do is to adapt to the fire you are going to use.

Look carefully, Miss Seele's flame is something you won't be able to find anywhere in Teyvat, it's an almost impossible gift."

Shuanghua calmed down and began to observe quietly.

The spiritual fire condensed into a ring and suspended in the air.

Saphir picked and chose from the pile of materials and began to throw one ingredient after another into the fire circle.

The material was stained by the flames and quickly took on a touch of white, then began to rise and fall in the air following the fluctuations of the flames.

The spiritual fire coated all the materials with a layer of silver. Xier's eyes were shining with golden light. When Saphir recognized the last material, he raised his hands and chanted the magical dragon script: "Spirit of Words, Heaven and Earth are the Furnace!"

In an instant, the laws of heaven and earth paused, and the laws of this small area suddenly changed.

The burning of the spiritual fire became more intense, and the materials suspended in the air were gradually "killed" and then "resurrected".

After the cycle of life and death, the strength and toughness of the material have undergone tremendous changes.

But this is just the signal for the forging to begin.

"Fushe, Kunfeng!" Saphir shouted.

When the two heard their names, they immediately stood up, also holding huge forging hammers in their hands.

"Come on, sword embryo!" Saphir said, and Veronica suddenly turned into a sledgehammer, which she raised and smashed directly towards the molten material.

"Just hit it like this? Won't sparks fly?" Funina was shocked.

Xier chuckled: "Don't underestimate the cooperation between me and my elder sister!"

Saphir swung his hammer and smashed at the molten material. Xier's world as the furnace began to exert its power. The material that was about to be scattered by Saphir's smash was restrained by the invisible force and its shape began to change.

Seeing this scene, Krevy immediately understood: "So that's how it is!"

"What did you find?" asked Furninna in surprise.

Krevy nodded and explained: "Although the material has melted, it is not so easy to shape it. Feifei gave the material a force with the hammer in her hand, and then Xier used the force field to confine the material. In this way, the material that has become a fluid will inevitably deform along the shape of the force field..."

"I see. If we continue like this, these materials will be completely integrated. When the integration is completed, the sword embryo will take shape..." Finina also understood, and there was a hint of admiration in her eyes when she looked at Saphir.

Who on earth came up with this idea? It's a bit ingenious.

There is actually nothing that can be done about it. Xier's control over the furnace of heaven and earth has not reached perfection. If she wants to forge, she must rely on hammering. However, she cannot control the temperature of the materials when hammering, especially the materials refined by the spiritual fire. As long as the temperature does not meet the standard, they will be completely scrapped.

The spiritual fire acts on the soul, and even Saphir cannot last too long in such a fire.

Therefore, they worked out a replacement plan, which is to process the material through the application of force field to achieve an effect similar to stamping.

After Saphir's hammer, Fushe followed with another hammer, and then Kunfeng.

The three of them took turns hammering, and the material trapped in the air was still being heated up. Gradually, the material merged together and formed the shape of a sword.

"It's almost done." Shuanghua, who witnessed all this, was shocked beyond words. This was the first time he saw Saphir forging weapons. To be honest, it was far beyond his imagination.

With repeated hammering, the weapon embryo soon took shape. Activating the spiritual fire again, Xier checked the status of the embryo and nodded to Saphir.

Seeing that Xier had confirmed it, Saphir stopped what he was doing and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

She had been entering and exiting the realm of spiritual fire. Even she could hardly bear the scorching temperature. Now that the forging of the embryo was finally completed, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
