The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

In the final analysis, the current Raiden Meiyi was just given a chess piece by Exia and became Exia's dependent [Knight]. Except for being excellent in agility, other aspects are not outstanding. The swordsmanship he practiced was also specialized for humans, so it would be difficult to face Honkaimon.

Even though both of them had received seals from Yingjie such as Hua, Ying, Alicia, etc., it would take time to awaken and master the true power of the seals, so the two simply started high-pressure training directly in the middle level.

Actual combat has always been the fastest way to become stronger under normal circumstances.

"By the way, are you coming back for lunch and dinner today? Yesterday Mei made a table of dishes, but you didn't come back at all. In the end, I had to eat them all."

"Can't you leave some for me?"

Alexia took a sip of water: "But... I'm not sure if I will come back to eat. After all, I don't know how much time I will spend on the Eleventh Herrscher and the Twelfth Herrscher. If If it goes well, it might be over in the morning, but if it doesn’t go well, it will probably be the same as yesterday.”

The experience of being entangled in an infinite chain of dreams for more than seven hours with the Herrscher of Knowledge is still vivid in my mind.

Compared with the Herrscher of Knowledge, the Herrscher of Restraint and the Herrscher of Corrosion will undoubtedly be more difficult to deal with - it will probably take a lot of time to rely on Exia alone.

"Anyway, I will try my best. You can act according to your own situation and don't have to take care of me. If I come back late, just leave me a portion of dinner and I will heat it up when I come back."

"Okay, I will-"

"Huh? I seem to have heard about the Twelfth Herrscher?"

Just when Leiden Meiyi nodded in agreement, a voice familiar to all three of them came from the door.

With an ice blue blade on her waist, Sakura quietly appeared beside the three of them.

Alexia was a little surprised: "Miss Sakura? Why are you here?"

"Because I have something to ask you about...about leaving the Paradise of the Past." Sakura explained, "Of course, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose, I just accidentally overheard something when I first came here... ...These are good ears for hearing.”

"I think so - then, what happened to the Twelfth Herrscher?"

Alexia asked.

Sakura paused for a moment: "...If you are going to face the memories of the Twelfth Herrscher period today, can you take me with you? Exia."

"Please, there are some things... I want to confirm with my own eyes."

78. Sakura’s Trap

In fact, every fire-chasing hero in the Paradise of the Past does not know his own ending.

wrong.

To put it more accurately, it should be "can't be sure of my final outcome".

In the pre-civilization period, in order to ensure the integrity of the memories of the memories in the Paradise of the Past, the Thirteen Heroes would come to synchronize their memories every once in a while. Therefore, theoretically speaking, once they did not come to synchronize their memories for a long time, That means that the Yingjie's body has passed away. Based on the memory of the last synchronization, one can roughly deduce his ending.

From this perspective, it can also be said that the heroes who chase the fire all know their own endings.

——Except one person.

That's Sakura.

Because of her previous experience, among all the memories, Sakura's cognitive deficit is the most serious one. After all, she first lost the memory synchronization from her main body. In terms of time, it was during the 12th Herrscher. Before the battle was over, so she didn't know a lot of things.

But, she can investigate it herself.

During her lifetime, Sakura belonged to an organization called [Poison Chrysalis] within the Fire Chaser Moth, which was responsible for cleaning up the house, eliminating traitors, and performing shady tasks. Sakura, who stayed in that department for a long time, developed strong intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities. In addition, the Paradise of the Past is a space of memory, and more than 50,000 years have passed since the end of the previous civilization.

Such a long time was enough for Sakura to investigate what she wanted to know.

Among all the cognitions that Sakura has recovered, there is one that Sakura cannot accept no matter what - [The Herrscher of Corrosion was killed].

The former civilization's Herrscher of Corrosion is now called Hitamamaru by Yae Sakura. The existence that resides in Jizo's soul, before becoming the Herrscher of Corrosion, was actually Sakura's sister, named [Suzuki].

Sakura loves her only sister very much, so much so that she would not hesitate to openly betray Fire Chaser Moth.

She didn't trust that the Fire Chaser Moth would take gentle measures against Ling, and finally chose to escape from the Fire Chaser Moth with Ling.

As a memory, Sakura doesn't know the complete process and can only piece together conclusions from countless fragmented memory data, but from the conclusion... [Suzuki is dead].

The murderer is [Soldier of Fire Chaser].

Because a long time ago, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, Aponya imposed a commandment called "Never give up hope against Honkai" to all Fire Chaser soldiers. Her original intention was to hope that people could always There was hope, but this commandment eventually led to the soldiers' hatred of the Herrscher of Corrosion, and privately killed Suzu, who had not yet fully become the Herrscher of Corrosion.

When Sakura learned this, she felt unparalleled [hate] in her heart - that was her only sister!

But she had no one to vent her hatred to.

The soldier who killed Suzu died more than 50,000 years ago, and Aponya, who imposed discipline on the soldiers, has long been lost, leaving only a memory... There is nothing she can target with her hatred. object.

Therefore, Sakura kept it secret after that. She could see that the other heroes were reluctant to tell her these things mostly to take care of her mood, and she was not prepared to live up to her companions' concerns - but now, Sakura had an idea.

Originally, the data about the Herrscher War would have been impossible to reproduce.

No Ying Jie participated in all the Herrscher Wars, and the Ying Jies did not like to recall the Herrscher Wars often, so Sakura had no way of knowing the full story about the Twelfth Herrscher, and pieced it together. It is ultimately incomplete.

But now, because of Exia, Sakura has a chance - a chance to completely see the events of the Twelfth Herrscher with her own eyes.

So she wanted to confirm what her sister's final outcome would be.

Even if she was killed and made into the God's Key...she still wanted to have a look at the God's Key.

"...Please, Exia." Sakura requested again, "I won't cause you any trouble. Although I didn't contribute much in the battle of the Eleventh Herrscher, But it should be able to provide you with some help. And after experiencing what happened with the Twelfth Herrscher, I will also give you my answer."

"Um...Okay, I get it."

(It’s about eroding the Herrscher.)

Alexia didn't know what Sakura was thinking, but since it was Sakura, she couldn't help but think of the Herrscher's erosion.

After hesitating for a moment, and looking at Raiden Mei and Kiana, Exia said: "Then what... Miss Sakura, actually regarding the Herrscher erosion in your era, I am here There are some things I need to tell you first."

"Um?!"

Sakura's fox ears suddenly twitched: "Do you know about the erosion of Herrscher?"

"Well...not so much that I know...I actually fought against her last year. It happened to be not long after the third Honkai Impact happened - Ms. Sakura, who was the Herrscher of Corrosion Your sister is actually being kept in the Tianming Research Institute as the Key of God."

"——!"

Sakura's eyes suddenly widened uncontrollably!

(Ring...Ring was indeed made into a divine key...)

This is not a very unexpected result.

The creation of the God Key was led by Dr. Mei, and Dr. Mei was a rational and terrifying person. He would not stop making the God Key just because Suzu was Sakura's sister.

but......

"...Fighting?" This statement made Sakura frown, "Ling...could it be that she still has self-awareness?"

"Yes."

Alexia nodded: "According to Mr. Su, in fact, in the pre-civilization period, the Key of the Twelfth God was not completed. Because the consciousness of the Corrosion Herrscher has been resisting, until the world is destroyed, the Key of Corrosion They are all unfinished products - and they were completed more than five hundred years ago. The process is a little complicated, and I am not sure that I have no relevant information saved in my personal terminal. I will Go find it.”

"It's just that what is certain is that the Corrosion Key is different from other God Keys. The consciousness of the Herrscher in the core of the Herrscher still exists, and it can even be used to condense the appearance of a separate Fox God through Honkai Energy. To be honest. , because of this, Tianming has never been able to find a suitable user of the Key of Corrosion."

"But if... I mean if, if Miss Sakura wants to see her sister again, I can apply for the right to use the Key of Corrosion."

cherry:"----!!!"

79. What should I do if there are two Sakuras?

See you again...

Hearing these words from Exia's mouth, Sakura's brain was completely empty for a moment!

Goodbye Suzu! I can once again...see my sister who I would never see again!

"only--"

Alexia suddenly changed the subject.

"The Herrscher's consciousness has been imprisoned for more than 50,000 years, and she has accumulated a heavy hatred to this day... In addition, she was your sister more than 50,000 years ago. Maybe she has forgotten you as a sister, Miss Sakura."

"...Indeed."

This sentence made Sakura calm down smoothly.

Alexia is right.

More than 50,000 years have passed since then. Even if Ling has forgotten her sister and her past experience as [Ling], that is a normal thing.

Such a long span of time can already make a person become another person who has nothing to do with the original self.

What you can see is not necessarily the [Bell].

"but......"

even so--

"I also want to see Ling again."

Sakura looked at Aikexia seriously: "I will leave the Paradise of the Past with you, Aikexia. Within my ability, I can also help you do something, but... if possible, In exchange, I would like to ask you to let me and Ling meet again."

This can already be said to be pleading with Exia.

And this also shows how much Sakura values ​​her only sister.

"You are exaggerating."

Alexia shook her head.

"It's just a matter of applying for the permission to use the Ksitigarbha Soul. It's just a matter of words for me. I said before that no one can use the Ksitigarbha Soul, but that didn't include me. After all, I already had Having conquered the Seven Thunders of Purification, and now having the King of Victory, the power of Jizo Yuhun is not particularly needed."

In other words, if Aixia wanted to, he could use Jizo Mitama at any time, but he just didn't think it was necessary.

And if Sakura wants it, then Exia doesn't mind getting the Jizo Mitama - it's really just a matter of words.

"Miss Sakura, you don't need to make any transactions with me, and you don't need to think that I need you to do anything for me. This may be a bit shameless, but I think I am quite helpful. If you want to meet my sister, I Happy to help.”

"Exia..."

Sakura's eyes trembled a little.

She knew that she and Alexia were not related, and there was no reason for him to help her realize her wish unconditionally, but now he said this...

"——Thank you, Alexia."

Grasping the hilt of the knife at her waist, a serious smile appeared on Sakura's face: "No matter whether Suzu recognizes me in the end, I will always remember your kindness in helping me."

"It's not necessary." Alexia waved her hand, "If my guess is correct, when you go to Tianming, you should live in my house before you find a place to live. Since we may be a family in the future, then Don't worry about favors or anything like that. Helping each other is normal. Don't take it too seriously, Miss Sakura."

After saying that, Alexia put down the tableware, stood up and walked out of the restaurant: "Then it's almost time for me to go to the Paradise of the Past. See you later - By the way, Miss Sakura, if you decide to go out, you'd better go Find Professor Mebius and Miss Velvet to reserve your spot."

"Well, I understand."

"That's it~~~"

After waving her hand, Alexia walked out of the restaurant completely and came to the hall of the Paradise of the Past.

(This should be enough.)

In terms of helping Sakura and Ling meet, the result is also good for Alexia. After all, if Sakura really recognized Ling, it would be almost equivalent to subduing Jizo Yuhun in disguise and solving a big problem for Tianming.

Although it is okay to let Alexia handle it, now it is OK to grant one of Sakura's wishes, and Alexia doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.

The only question is...

(If there are two [Sakura] at home, how do you tell them apart?)

According to Alexia's expectation, if these heroes from the Paradise of the Past really leave with him, then at least those who have Second Life, the most likely destination is probably Destiny and the World Snake. One.

Sakura, on the other hand, will definitely follow Alexia to Tianming, and will definitely live in Bishop Otto's house under the arrangement of Bishop Otto - but there is already a Yae Sakura in Alexia's family.

I feel like there will be a lot of problems by then, but we can’t just let Yae Sakura or Sakura change their names...

"Oh~~~Forget it, let's think about this kind of thing when the time comes!"

Alexia patted her face.

The most important thing now is indeed...

"The Lawyer of Restraint."

In terms of ability, this can be said to be the most restrained Herrscher of Exia.

The Herrscher of Restraint's ability is to create a barrier with a radius of one hundred kilometers. Within the barrier, Honkai energy will be completely ineffective, and energy of any other nature will also be weakened to varying degrees. If a fusion warrior is exposed to it, he will die within a minute. General soldiers will also die due to the disappearance of the bioelectric voltage, and it will become extremely difficult to use the God Key.

In a word, the Herrscher of Binding is a Herrscher that was born entirely to target Fusion Warriors and God's Key.

As for Exia's current power, it is almost entirely based on the power of the God Key, Chimera and the Sekiryuutei.
