Adventurers seem to be respected only in Mondstadt. In Liyue, adventurers are no different from ordinary professions.
To ordinary Liyue people, a great adventurer is like a top master among carpenters and a famous treasure appraiser in the antique shop. Although worthy of admiration and respect, except for those who are interested, no one would go out of their way to understand him.
Not to mention when we arrived at Inazuma, Ember had been hanging out in the wilds of Inazuma for a while, and he didn't even see a little green man.
If it were Mondstadt or Liyue, that would be impossible.
This shows how few adventurers there are in Inazuma.
"Haha, the national lockdown order can block people's exchanges, but it can't block the flow of news. I still know a little bit about what's happening outside."
"The name of the Great Adventurer is still very resounding."
After Shikanoin Heizo said this, he puffed up his chest with confidence. In fact, the reputation of Ember is not that loud in Dao Wife. Now that Dao Wife is shrouded in the flames of war, how can ordinary people have the time to care about news from other countries.
But Kanoin Heizo is different. He is a detective. An important reliance for detectives to make deductions is the massive amount of information in their minds.
So even though Inazuma is in lockdown, Kanoin Heizo has not missed anything happening in other countries.
Naturally, he had also heard of the name of Ember.
"I see, but I want to correct one thing. I am not an adventurer now, but a social researcher!"
"What is it? Social research? Isn't this what Vahumana Academy likes to do? Why is it the Adventurers Association's turn?"
Shirkanoin Heizo took out his ears, his face full of doubts, why did he hear words that only Sumeru could hear from Ember's mouth?
"Fa...hu...mo...na...what the hell is your name, so hard to pronounce?"
Ember's expression was not much better than that of Kanoin Heizou. He found that he couldn't understand what Shikanoin Heizo was saying at all.
"Oh, never mind. I was just a little surprised to hear the word 'social research'."
"I thought only those scholars of the Karma School who spend all day in the library in Xumi would do such a thing, but I didn't expect the Adventurer's Association would do it too."
Seeing Ember's confused look, Kanoin Heizo explained.
To be honest, the names of the six colleges of Sumeru are really not something that ordinary people can come up with. Even the self-proclaimed genius Shikanoin Heizo spent a long time memorizing these awkward names.
"Xumi still does this kind of thing?" Yi Yan scratched his head. He originally thought that this "social research" was his own creation, but he didn't expect that someone else had already done it.
You really can’t look down on anyone.
"But this behavior is due to my personal interests and has nothing to do with the Adventurers Association." Ember said that such a great idea was his own and has nothing to do with the Adventurers Association.
With that said, Yan Yan took out a notepad. Then he put the end of his pen in front of Shikanoin's mouth and asked seriously:
"What do detective Kanoin Heizo think of this war between the shogunate army and the rebels?"
Seeing the pen that almost stuck into his mouth, Kanoin Heizo couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"How else can I watch? I'll just stand and watch."
"I see. Detective Shikanoin Heizo thinks the war between the shogunate army and the rebels is too childish."
"Regarding this war, Detective Shikanoin Heizo said that he was watching with a bird's eye view."
Moving forward with Shikanoin Heizo, the pen that had been sticking to his mouth was retracted.
The tip of the pen slid in his hand, and a brand new conversation appeared on the notepad.
"No? How did you..."
"Then what does Detective Kanoin Heizo think the cause of this war is?"
Seeing Shikanoin Heizo looking like he wanted to say something, Yan Yan took the initiative and suppressed what he was saying.
The research is important. As for other people, we will wait until the research is completed.
"..."
Shirkanoin Heizo became smarter now. His eyes moved slightly but he didn't say anything.
"Detective Kanoin Heizo is silent on the reasons for the war. It seems that he has been under some kind of pressure. Is it from Kaiji Island, the shogunate, or the Raiden General in the castle tower? I don't know."
In the sound of "swish, swish, swish" writing, Kanoin Heizo's inner thoughts and possible limitations were "perfectly" expressed by the ember.
At this moment, Shikanoin Heizo couldn't hold himself any longer. He stepped forward and tried to snatch the notepad from Yu Yan's hand.
"Give it to me! Who taught you to remember this?"
"It seems that the pressure on Detective Shikanoin Heizou is unusually high, and he doesn't even dare to express his opinions!"
Li Yan raised his hands above his head, still writing furiously.
What resulted was an even more fierce counterattack by Shikanoin Heizo. But it is a pity that Ember is not only taller than Shikanoin Heizo, but also faster and stronger.
Shikanoinhei was busy working around the embers for a long time without even touching his fur.
"Brother...brother, I'm really convinced by you. Even if you want to write blindly, you don't need to catch me, a little detective, and torment you, right?"
After the attempt to seize by force failed, Shikanoin Heizo changed his measures and began to show affection for Ember Akatsuki and start to act rationally.
He started with his tragic family background and then mentioned his elder sister who was raising a child alone.
Both inside and outside the words are filled with the word "tragic".
Although Kanoin Heizo's family background was not miserable, his elder sister was not raising children of his own.
[By the way, that tanuki ninja won’t hear it, right? ] As Luyein Heizang spoke, he glanced around uneasily.
Although the ninja his sister was looking after was young and lazy, maybe he was hiding nearby?
After all, they were ninjas!

"You are so miserable."
Hearing this, Ember looked like I believed him.
"Yes, I'm miserable. You Yan, please don't torment me."
Xiaolu also had a grimace on his face. Fortunately, he was a detective by profession. If he had been an actor, he would probably have started crying by now.
"Okay, I've deleted your name!" Ember drew a few more strokes, which made Luyein Heizo breathe a sigh of relief.
But soon, he stopped laughing.
I saw that on the Ember Notepad, all the places that read "Luye Yuan Heizang" were marked with several horizontal lines.
The horizontal lines are drawn crookedly, and the five characters "Luyeyuan Heizang" can be vaguely seen from them.
It is said to be hidden, but more like a marking symbol, which makes people notice the name of Shikanoin Heizo at the first time.
This is simply worse than no fight at all!
"There's no difference between doing this and not fighting at all!" Veins popped up on Luyein Heizang's forehead. If Yu Yan hadn't committed a crime, he would have had a heart-killing punch to test the level of Yu Yan, a "great adventurer".
"Don't worry about those details. Aren't you a detective? Look at other things." Ember waved his hand and flipped through a few pages on the notepad.
"Do you have anything interesting up there..."
Shikanoin Heizo just wanted to tease Yu Ember about what useful things could be found in this notebook, but after seeing the contents on it, his voice gradually became smaller.
Along with the sound of embers turning the pages of the book, Shikanoin Heizo's brows became more and more twisted, and his expression became more and more solemn.
"Huh..." When all the places with words on the notepad were read over, Luyein Heizo let out a deep breath.
"Is everything you wrote here true?"
Shikanoin Heizo touched his chin and asked seriously. The fact that his name was recorded has long been forgotten by him.
"Of course, but there are only witnesses and no physical evidence." Yi Jin nodded. He was very strict when it came to major matters.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to do any "social research". Wouldn't it be good for him to directly attack the shogunate army and the resistance army from the south to the north?
"This is troublesome. Witness evidence is not as powerful as physical evidence." Shikanoin Heizo rolled his eyes. If what was recorded in the book were true, then his attitude towards this war could not be so casual.
Destroy the seal of the evil spirit, conceal the news of the evil spirit's outbreak, silence them...
Both the rebels and the shogunate army went too far in this war.
"No, the Chou Shen's garrison can't be that vulnerable. How can a small team of the rebels kill all the garrison silently?"
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Shikanoin Heizang deduced it several times in his mind, and the result was a disastrous defeat for the resistance.
This is also consistent with his own understanding of the shogunate army. Although soldiers elsewhere may be undisciplined or even vulnerable.
But in important places, the elite of the shogunate were not ambiguous at all.
As the champion of the "Ten Ling Free Martial Arts Association", Shikanoin Heizo frequently competed with elite soldiers such as the Zoishin Guards and Okujizu.
In terms of their strength, Shikanoin Heizou is very clear.
"By the way, there is still physical evidence, this!" Yi Jin saw Luyein Heizang's entangled look, and suddenly thought that he seemed to have a few physical evidences in his hand.
With that said, Ember took out a scarred evil eye.
"Eye of God?" Shikanoin Heizo took the dim "Eye of God" doubtfully, but the doubt in his heart still did not lighten a bit.
So what if there are Eyes of God holders in the resistance? In front of the battle formation formed by the elite soldiers, there was nothing but hatred on the spot.
Not to mention that there are also owners of the Eye of God in the Soul God Guard.
He looked at the "Eye of God" in his hand carefully for a while. Shikanoin Heizang seemed to suddenly understand something. He took off the Eye of God from his waist and carefully compared it with the "Eye of God" in his hand.
"This thing... could it be the Evil Eye of the Fools?" Luyein Heizo speculated as he returned the scarred Evil Eye to Ember.
He had only heard that the elite members of the Fools were equipped with evil eyes, but if he had actually seen it, he had never seen it.
"That's right. I've pulled down several of them. They're exactly the same." Yu Jin produced several evil eyes like a magic trick.
These were all taken from Leiying Warlock and debt collectors by him when he had nothing to do, and they all had the same pattern.
"Okay... okay, you are really full of martial virtue." Luyein Heizo saw the evil eyes in Yu Ember's hand that were like copper coins, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
With this strength, can he only be called a great adventurer?
"So Detective Xiaolu, do you have any clues now?" Yi Yan looked at Luyein Heizo with expectation. Since he is a detective, he must have seen through the conspiracy now.
"Clues, which aspect are you referring to?" Luyein Heizo raised his eyes and looked at the embers, but said nothing.
"Aren't you a detective? You must have surmised the question I want to know, right?" Hearing Luyein Heizang's question, Ember asked directly.
