I thought "Forest of Swords" was just a pretty name, but now knowing it's a punishment given by the Ten-Lords Commission I wonder how it links to Blade

#Fragments and scraps #I talk too much #It's the punishment given to the criminal whose capture marked the beginning of the alliance between the Xianzhou and the Foxians iirc #which makes me even more intrigued given the‚ well‚ everything #It's also restricted to name Jingliu to this criminal which is interesting but several of such criminals had this warning listed #So I wonder if there's any particularity here or if she was 'just' the one to apprehend these people #and the story is not much more interesting beyond that. I would love to know though #There are several mentions and names thrown in this that intrigue me very much. I think they make sense #such as Huaiyan being permitted always to visit the Flint Emperor or the marshal of the Xianzhou being the one dealing with Shuhu #but it makes me wonder about them too. Yingxing being the one designing a binding for the criminal that formed delusions to imprison them #in one of their own is very interesting and I'd love to know more about this story. The concept and process. But I guess this will be all #Jing Yuan's name being restricted to be called in front of the criminal they use for interrogations works so well #with how the criminal is being used in exchange for seven days of freedom yearly. That feels such a Jing Yuan move indeed. I loved it #There was a Memorysnatcher that tried to steal the general's memory and I wonder who that was since it wasn't specified #I guess Jing Yuan since we're in the Luofu? That was intriguing too. The previous general was also mentioned at some point #The fact they wonder whether Shuhu is the one in the box is extremely intriguing #especially in the context of what Jingliu said about what Yingxing did #The silence around Imbibitor Lunae is extremely intriguing too but it doesn't surprise me at all. I wonder if it has to be with Jing Yuan #Because that too is a very Jing Yuan move I think. And I love him for that. I adore how he deals with things #I don't talk about him all that much I think but he's one of my favourite characters. Probably my second favourite #I digress... Everything else intrigued me but didn't surprise me all that much #The 'Forest of Swords' mention‚ though‚ I wasn't expecting at all. And maybe I should have‚ given 'Shuhu's gift' #and the mention of being reborn from a husk. Apparently weightless details that later on got a lot of development and importance #I love that they got that treatment. I say this a lot but I truly adore how this game deals with details and how they get developed #ANYWAY this was a joy to read. I see genius craftman Yingxing being mentioned and a reference to Huaiyan existing at all and I go 🥺✨💕 #I wonder if we'll ever meet Huaiyan. Oh‚ or see the Zhuming. I would love to #So many typos but I'm not sure I'll be fixing them. It's annoying #And sorry for not censoring but I go here to put down some thoughts while I play and it's such a hassle to remember to do so #Besides I always seem to forget doing so once or twice and that's enough for the post to appear in the tags anyway
