Ragnar struggled to adjust her expression and cautiously posed her question, "If I heard correctly... Jingwei? That legendary Immortal from the ancient era of Shenzhou, is that you?"
Fu Hua smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes..."
"Wow..."
The former captain drew in a sharp breath, glancing again at the image on the projection screen—a slowly moving "active volcano." She muttered, "No wonder Jixuanyuan could live until now..."
Fu Hua hastily waved her hand, "It's because of my unique physique; it's different from Jixuanyuan's situation..."
"Hmm."
Ragnar wore an expression of "whatever you say."
As for Theresa, she was already showing a dead fish expression from the overload of information, her gaze fixed on the Book of Fuxi nestled against Fu Hua's chest.
Bianka relaxed her guard, and at some point, her weapon appeared in her hand, hanging silently behind her.
As for the ELF herself, she wore a face of pure happiness to the point of almost shedding tears.
Fuxi rubbed her cheek against Fu Hua's chest, murmuring, "Elm head, you haven't grown up at all in all these years, huh?"
"...?"
Fu Hua was still in a daze, but suddenly hearing this from someone who might be an acquaintance snapped her out of it, causing a burst of agitation in her mind. She involuntarily clenched her fists.
Jingwei chuckled and asked, "Um... I haven't asked for your name yet."
Fuxi's eyes welled up with tears, "Have you forgotten even that? Jingwei, how many times have you used Fenghuang Down..."
"Uh... I don't know..."
Fu Hua subtly averted her gaze and touched her empty nose.
"Then let me reintroduce myself."
The Book of Fuxi sat back on the soulium levitator and addressed everyone present, "My name is the Book of Fuxi, an ELF created by Master Fuxi and Master Nuwa—according to your terms, I should be considered a robot, responsible for taking care of Jingwei's daily needs..."
Everyone was shocked, "A robot!?"
When it came to robots, the first things that came to mind for the Valkyries were AE Titans and Aesir Mechs, one being the mass-produced battlefield mainstay (albeit expensive), and the other being the finely crafted elite (even more expensive).
But both of these robots/mechas were quite large, and it was well-known that in the field of technology, making something extremely large or extremely small was very difficult.
So the Valkyries stared at the small figure of the Book of Fuxi, speculating about what might be inside her.
Luo Lin was also surprised, but not in that regard. The Valkyrie couldn't help but question, "You're like that? Responsible for Fu Hua's daily needs?"
It was hard to imagine that this little guy who spent all day lounging on a levitating ball had this function.
"Don't look at me like that! I only behave like that to save energy!"
Luo Lin raised an eyebrow, "Oh...?"
Fuxi blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed, and started counting on her fingers, "When my energy was still abundant, I took care of at least half of Jingwei's daily needs... tailoring clothes, cleaning, handling food, building houses... oh, I only provided blueprints for that. Of course, the most important thing was being a bridge between Jingwei and ordinary people..."
At this point, Fuxi placed her hands on her hips, glaring at the somewhat bewildered Fu Hua nearby, "You, elm head, lived alone in the deep mountains for years. You kept worrying that your identity as a Immortal would affect human development... so I had to step in as Jingwei's proxy, communicate with people, purchase food, cloth, ironware…"
Luo Lin smirked, feeling a sense of familiarity... Did the Book of Fuxi act as the mouthpiece for Jingwei?
The girl glanced at Fu Hua, who was wracking her brain to extract clues about the Book of Fuxi from her memory—obviously with no success, as the cognitive strain from Fenghuang Down was well-known.
Fuxi sensed Luo Lin's disbelief and said, "Wait... let me show you some evidence!"
The ELF tapped on the soulium levitator under her buttocks, and amidst the flickering of faint light, several guns and cannons fell down. Luo Lin immediately recognized these weapons as artifacts manufactured with previous era technology.
Wow, weren't these the weapons that the Book of Fuxi mentioned, the ones Jingweiý used instead of fists and feet because they were too powerful?
Fuxi's body stiffened as she looked at the weapons, embarrassedly muttering, "Oops, sorry, it's not these... How did I forget to change back after using them?"
With that, the ELF reached out and lightly tapped on the firearms, causing them to twist and deform in front of everyone's eyes, turning into a pool of metallic liquid.
The little ancestor then waved her arms like a conductor guiding an orchestra, scattering the radiance of Honkai energy. The liquid metal reassembled, forming a very advanced... uh, sewing machine?
"This is what I use to make clothes for Jingwei! As long as you input the raw materials, the data, and use Honkai energy as an aid, you can make very good clothes!"
Fuxi raised her nose proudly, "My database contains many patterns of clothes, enough to make Jingwei different styles of clothes for hundreds of years!"
"So, does that mean you made Azure Empyrea set for her?"
Luo Lin expressed her respect, "Thank you for giving Fu Hua such a beautiful outfit!"
The graphics and designs of Honkai Impact 3rd are really something.
At least Fu Hua's Azure Empyrea can be said to be a very representative set of Battlesuit, perfectly matching the aesthetics of the Shenzou people—perhaps it just lacks white hair?
No, no, Luo Lin felt that Azure Empyrea had to have that flavor.
However, before the transmigration, the appearance were excellent, but after arriving in the Honkai world, who actually provided Fu Hua with such ahead-of-its-time clothing?
The answer is now revealed—it was the Book of Fuxi.
But Fuxi was a bit puzzled by Luo Lin's words, "What is Azure Empyrea?"
Luo Lin clapped her mouth, realizing that she had brought Honkai 3 terminology with her.
After a moment of thought, the Valkyrie extended her hand and used her Edge of Taixuan to create a one-to-one projection, forming a figure—a person with wide sleeves and an ethereal aura, exactly like Azure Empyrea
The only problem was that this figure was glowing with a translucent white light, like an unpainted model... After all, this was a projection formed by Luo Lin's Taixuan Ki, and she hadn't yet mastered the technique of coloring her Ki yet...
"This is the outfit, remember it?" Luo Lin asked.
Of course, Fuxi remembered. She hurriedly opened her scroll and found a picture of Fu Hua wearing this outfit, walking on the land of Shenzhou.
At that time, Fu Hua had already left the secular world and lived alone for many years, busy exterminating the Honkai beasts that emerged all over Shenzhou. With sharp eyes and a fierce aura, she exuded a forbidding presence, with a face that said "don't come near," paired with this obviously surpassing the contemporary aesthetic and clothing production technology...
Just wearing this flowing outfit alone would probably make people think she was a deity!
Not to mention, Fu Hua was indeed the genuine Immortal!
Theresa widened her eyes. She compared this image with the one of Fu Hua in her training clothes and fake glasses from Saint Freya Academy before. She couldn't help but feel admiration.
—No wonder she's in the intelligence business, she really nailed that rustic girl look before!
If Luo Lin knew what these two were thinking, she would probably retort harshly: Is it possible that Fu Hua is actually a rustic girl at heart?
At that moment, among those present, the brainiac Ragnar Lothbrok supported her chin.
When the Book of Fuxi said she was a robot, she had some strange guesses in her mind.
When Fuxi touched her little ball and dropped those guns, she recognized the characteristics of the previous era on those weapons, strengthening her confidence in her speculation.
When the ELF projected the image into the air using the scroll, Ragnar turned her head to look at the projection screen floating beside her captain's chair, squinting her eyes.
"Previous Era...?"
