Kapitel 26: Chapter 26 The First Member
[Although you promised Zhongli to set up an intelligence organization for Liyue, you have no experience in this area and are completely in the dark. After some thought, you decide that the first batch of subordinates should come from the trustworthy members of the Qianyan Army. You propose joining the front line, and Zhongli immediately agrees.]
[With Zhongli's help, you become a team leader on the front line, leading thirty Qianyan soldiers. Soon, you find yourself in the heat of battle, witnessing the power of the immortals firsthand.]
[For instance, there's a crane adept at using various mechanisms. His fairy mechanism, the Returning Machine, can cause a large number of monsters to be killed or injured with each activation. Then there's a girl with blue hair and black and red horns who uses fairy magic to enhance the Qianyan Army's strength, allowing them to effectively defeat monsters. Another notable figure is a masked dwarf wielding a spear imbued with violent wind elements, sparing no monster in his path.]
[You're amazed by the immortals' strength but quickly refocus on the battlefield.]
The Qianyan Army is stronger than I thought. Thanks to the immortals' blessings and their tactical expertise, they are able to steadily suppress the monsters.
[During the battle, you notice the impressive performance of a man in his thirties or forties. Unlike the other Qianyan soldiers, he doesn't engage monsters directly but uses fairy talismans to destroy them in groups.]
[You remember this man, Boyang, as a member of your team. He's quite popular in Liyue and initially didn't want to join the battle against monsters, but changed his mind for some reason and was recruited by Zhongli.]
I wonder if there are any techniques in immortal magic for monitoring others? If so, this could solve my urgent problem. I'll talk to Boyang after the battle.
[After over three hours of fighting, the Qianyan Army emerges victorious. Following the battle, there's a customary celebration banquet. At the banquet, while no one else is paying attention, you discreetly approach Boyang to inquire about immortal magic techniques.]
[To your satisfaction, Boyang confirms that there are indeed spells in immortal magic that can be used for long-distance information exchange and monitoring. Although you're pleased with this information, you don't immediately invite Boyang to join the intelligence organization. Loyalty is crucial for this role, and you're not yet familiar with Boyang, so you decide to observe him further.]
[You begin to ask Boyang indirectly why he decided to join the front line. However, he's become quite drunk and is incoherent. You have to turn to the Qianyan Army members who know Boyang well.]
[They reveal that one of Boyang's friends died battling monsters. Before dying, the friend entrusted Boyang with a task. To honor this trust, Boyang chose to fight alongside the Qianyan Army.]
[This general information isn't very useful, so you write to Zhongli in Liyue Harbor, hoping for more details about Boyang.]
[A few days later, Zhongli's reply arrives. The letter reveals that Boyang's close friend was the 68th head of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Upon learning about the monster tide in Liyue, he joined the Qianyan Army. Later, he was injured in battle, returned to Liyue Harbor to recover, but succumbed to the Abyssal corruption. He died due to his deteriorating condition.]
[It seems the head of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor entrusted Boyang with a mission before his death, which spurred Boyang to join the fight against the monsters.]
Boyang's dedication to his friend shows his loyalty and sense of duty. With this confirmed, I decide to recruit him as the first member of the intelligence organization.
[On the day you receive Zhongli's reply, you find Boyang but don't immediately offer him a spot in the intelligence organization. Instead, you approach him as team leader and mention that you know his reason for joining the front line was due to his friend's request. You offer to help with any issues he might have.]
[Boyang, still a bit shocked, jokingly asks if you can take him to Wuwang Slope. This is the opening you've been waiting for. You assure him that it's no problem and quickly pack your belongings. You inform the squadron leader that you and Boyang have a secret mission and head to Boyang's tent with your backpack.]
["I'm ready. We can set off now."]
[Boyang stares at you, surprised, and tries to explain that it was just a joke. However, you insist on going with him and leave the base.]
[So, you and the bewildered Boyang set off for Wuwang Slope. During a rest in the middle of the night, Boyang finally confides in you.]
[Half a month ago, before his death, the head of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor revealed a secret to Boyang. Wuwang Slope in Liyue is where the Yin and Yang worlds meet. Souls of those who die with attachments to this world linger at Wuwang Hill and cannot move on. The heads of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor are tasked with maintaining the balance between these worlds and regularly clearing out wandering ghosts from Wuwang Slope.]
[However, due to the monster tide, the head of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor could not tend to Wuwang Hill. With the increasing number of deaths from monster attacks, there is fear that the ghosts are accumulating and turning the area deadly. Since the current head of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is too young and lacks the strength to handle ghosts, the task was entrusted to Boyang, who possesses magical abilities.]
["I understand now. I'll escort you to Wuwang Hill. In return, you need to agree to one thing,"] you say.
["What is it?" Boyang asks.]
["Join the intelligence department established by Lord Tianquan and help with the secret collection of information about the Kingdom of Snezhnaya. You won't need to gather the information yourself; just teach the newcomers the spells for intelligence gathering."]
["Information about the Kingdom of Snezhnaya? Why do we need that? Has something happened there?" Boyang asks.]
["I'm sorry, but you must agree to join before I can provide further details. However, I can assure you that this intelligence organization is sanctioned by Tianquan and is meant to protect Liyue. I swear on the Geo Archons name."]
["Well… if it's truly for Liyue, then I'll join,"] Boyang agrees.
[Thus, you successfully recruit Boyang as the first member of your intelligence organization.]
