Chapter 259 The Decline of the Five Legends of Thunder

"I see, now I finally understand."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Abedo chimed in.

"Everyone, I was just thinking that the story of the Five Song Immortals is more or less connected to the things happening around us. So, in reality... could there also be a [Black Master]?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Ye, who had been silent, seemed to suddenly realize something. He was about to speak, but after a moment of consideration, he dismissed the idea.

This small action was spotted by the sharp-eyed Barbatos.

"Manyo, is something on your mind? Does the story of the Five Song Immortals remind you of anything?"

Upon hearing Barbatos's question, Manyo finally put aside his concerns and began to explain.

“I do have some things I want to say, but those are just old stories from my family. Although I don’t mind telling everyone, I don’t want to trouble you all to worry about me anymore.”

"Wanye, what are you talking about? We are all your friends, there's no such thing as trouble or not."

Paimon said, waving his hand with a smile.

"Fengyuan, please forgive my impertinence, but is what you're thinking about related to [Thunder and Lightning Five Transmissions]?"

Ayaka Kamisato put away her fan and then looked intently at Manyo.

"That's true. It seems that Miss Ayaka is also thinking about this issue."

Manyo nodded in agreement.

The others on the side scratched the back of their heads in confusion.

"Five lightning strikes... what is that?"

"Miss Linghua, this matter is also closely related to the company magistrate. I wonder if you would agree to let me tell you about it?"

Seeing that the group was confused, Wanye decided to ask Ayaka Kamisato for her opinion first.

"Everyone here is a trustworthy friend, so there's no harm in speaking out. However, this matter is rather complicated, so let me first explain the origin of [Thunder and Lightning Five Transmissions] to everyone."

After taking a deep breath, she continued speaking.

"As you all know, the Shaman Magistrate is mainly in charge of ritual activities and cultural inheritance, and Inazuma's [sword-forging skills] are an extremely important part of that."

"[Raiden Goden] was once the five most outstanding sword-forging schools in Inazuma. Although these five families were sword-making families, they also held considerable official positions in the shrine."

"Unfortunately, of the five lineages of Raiden, only the [Tenmoku-ryu] lineage still has masters and disciples to carry on the tradition. Although the [Isshin-ryu] lineage has lost its techniques, fortunately, there are still descendants living in the world. And the Kaedehara family are the descendants of the [Isshin-ryu] lineage."

After hearing Ayaka Kamisato talk about herself, Mango simply picked up the conversation and continued to add to it.

"Yes, but that was a long time ago. [Isshinden] declined during the generation of my great-grandfather, Yoshiyoshi Kaedehara."

“My grandfather was dissatisfied with my great-grandfather’s inaction, so he traveled to Teyvat in his youth in search of a way to revive the family business, but unfortunately he failed. And in my generation… we even lost the only remaining ancestral home.”

After saying that, he sighed helplessly.

"My brother told me that the [Thunder and Lightning Five Lineages] declined very quickly. In just a few decades, three families met with misfortune and eventually disappeared completely. Then some people speculated that these misfortunes were the result of someone's secret manipulation, with the aim of eradicating the [Thunder and Lightning Five Lineages].

As she spoke, Ayaka Kamisato looked at everyone.

"However... since the Five Lightning Transmissions have not completely disappeared, this claim is just considered a rumor."
