The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

"So, according to this report, you joined the service of a god named Loki in that world, and you were given the favor of God by her... Can you show us?"

"Okay - sorry, Bianca, Rita."

Alexia stood up from the chair, took off her shirt and exposed her back to the people present, and handed a bottle of divine blood to Rita: "Rita, you drop a little blood on my back, like this Only then can God’s favor be revealed.”

The gods lock the divine favors of their children.

This is a way to protect the adventurer himself, because if the hidden ability value is not locked, the ability value will be exposed immediately when meeting someone who can read the words of God - if it is an adventurer with rare skills, It's easy to get killed by this.

According to Alexia's words, Rita carefully dropped a drop of divine blood on Alexia's back, and as the blood submerged, Alexia's divine grace appeared in front of the three of them.

"Is this...English?"

Bianca looked at God's Favor with some confusion. It was not any kind of writing she was familiar with. It was only in English, and she could barely distinguish some words.

"It is the universal text of that world. If it does not appear like this, it will be recorded on my back in the form of sacred text. As far as I know, only gods and some people can understand that kind of text. Unfortunately, I Couldn’t master the sacred text in three months in that world.”

"No need to blame yourself, three months to master a language from scratch is too much for you."

Otto said with a smile, staring at the words on Exia's back again and again.

(I see... This is the grace of God, which forcibly inspires human possibilities and embodies them in words - just like the content of the report, it is indeed partially similar to Stigmata.)

God's favor stimulates potential, allowing ordinary people to gradually gain the power to fight monsters. Artificial stigmata, on the other hand, can improve a person's resistance to Honkai energy and even their physical abilities, giving them the power to fight Honkai beasts.

The two are very similar.

"Okay, get dressed, Alexia. Also, I'm a little curious, this God's favor... is it possible to replicate it in our world? What I mean is, is it possible to apply God's favor to In the Valkyrie Army."

"...I don't think it can be done."

God's favor is bestowed by the gods, but exactly how it is bestowed, Exia is not clear about. The process is just dripping divine blood into the body, but is there a more complicated process... ..

"If the Bishop needs it, I can cooperate in the research on the favor of God. In addition, I have also brought back the divine blood of Goddess Loki from another world, totaling 380cc. After excluding the part I need to use, the amount available for research is About 200cc.”

"You are really very self-conscious, Alexia. You said everything I wanted to say, so much so that I don't even know what to say anymore." Otto said with a wry smile. With such a self-conscious subordinate, Otto I really feel like this saves me a lot of trouble.

Although occasionally he would feel that Exia didn't need to be so self-conscious.

"I will ask Amber to take you for a physical examination later. As for the more detailed research, I will talk about it later. I will notify you when I need your cooperation. As for the divine blood... well, it's like As you said, if you use 200cc samples for research and analyze the ingredients, you might be able to find out something."

"I see."

"Then the next thing - are the weapons on your body made with the craftsmanship of that world?"

Alexia nodded and pulled out the Loki Blade and the Smashing Sword: "The shorter one is a weapon with indestructible properties. It has high durability and will almost never break or be damaged. And this big one is Some black swords are made from materials dropped by monsters in dungeons."

"Although I don't understand the forging process, there is no doubt that these two weapons use metals that are not available in our world, and the technology may also have something special... I will take the initiative to send it to Saint 1504 for research later. Please leave it to Miss Changguang for analysis and research."

"Hahaha, Alexia, you are so considerate, telling me all my plans in advance." Otto laughed, "Indeed, as the Bishop of Destiny, I am very happy that you are so sensible and willing to be so conscious. It’s really gratifying to hand over everything I gained in another world.”

"Because I think this might be helpful in fighting Honkai."

"Well, yes, everything you get from the other world may become a powerful weapon for us to fight against Honkai. There is no doubt about this. I think so too, and I also thought that maybe we can use you to fight against the other world. Through exploration, we get a brand new way to fight against Honkai."

A new world means new possibilities. If the world here cannot defeat Honkai, then in a different world where there is no Honkai, there may be an unexpected possibility of fighting against Honkai.

"But Alexia, I think you can be more selfish. You don't need to hand over everything you have. It's okay to leave some for yourself. You are always so unreserved, which makes me feel guilty about you. Feelings and distrust - do you hope to get something from me by doing this?"

Almost no one in this world can achieve selfless dedication, and all efforts must be rewarded. Saints who do not ask for anything in return may exist, but at least they do not exist in this office now.

Otto held his chin with both hands: "You took the initiative to show me your sincerity. In my opinion, it was a little too proactive. Maybe I thought too much, but I have to think this way. You should understand .”

"Tell me, Exia, in exchange for your assistance in researching God's favor, God's blood, and providing weapons from another world, what do you want from me? Do you want to give you a salary increase as usual? Or a bonus? You I haven’t been back for three months. How about having dinner with Hollander tonight? I can recommend a good French restaurant.”

"...I don't intend to get anything from you, Lord Bishop." Alexia couldn't help but glance at Bianca, and then said, "I just want you to answer a few questions for me - — a question I’ve been asking you since I was a kid.”

"I want to know more about what happened seven years ago."

"For example...where is my sister who was really saved by me? What are my sister's name and my father's name - and so on."

"I think I have the right to know these things."

4. Names of former family members

Alexia's question made the other three people in the room stunned for a moment.

No one thought that he would ask these things at this time.

"It really surprises me. You still care so much about the past."

Otto smiled.

He knew that Alexia had always been obsessed with her past memories, and he had already asked Otto about it a year after Alexia woke up in the orphanage.

Although like Bianca, Alexia also lost his memory, his amnesia was not complete, and some fragments of what happened seven years ago remained in his mind. Therefore, this situation of being able to remember something but not being able to remember anything has always troubled him.

"I should have told you that when the time is right, I will tell you everything truthfully. Now that you are taking the initiative to ask me...could it be that you have remembered some things again?"

After Otto thought about it, this was the only reason that could make Alexia bring up this matter again.

Alexia nodded, then raised her right hand under the gaze of the three people, and a hexagonal ice flower condensed in the palm of her hand.

"This is......?"

"The power to control frost is one of the manifestations of the power contained in Kaslana's bloodline." Exia explained, "In the world over there, I mastered the power after receiving the favor of God. .....And, as I master this power, I remember more of what happened seven years ago."

During the month of temporary residence in the mountain village, apart from compiling reports about that world, the most important thing Ixia did was to explore her own power and recall her past.

And if what he thought was true, then combined, what happened seven years ago was roughly like this -

"Seven years ago, my father and sister, I boarded an aircraft for unknown reasons. While flying above a snow-capped mountain, the aircraft crashed for unknown reasons. Before the crash, my father handed my sister over to me and went there by myself. Try your best to control the aircraft for an emergency landing."

"Of course it failed. My sister and I were separated from my father. I followed my father's instructions and tried my best to protect my sister before I lost consciousness, and then..."

Looking at the ice flower in her hand, Ixia said: "It should be at that time that I first awakened the power to control the frost and protected myself and my sister."

Judging from what I recall, this guess should not be wrong.

"However, after that, for some reason, my power was sealed, and the sister I protected was also missing... I should have protected her well at that time, but ——”

According to what Otto said and what Exia had remembered over the past seven years, it seemed that he was the only one who was saved?

In the memory fragments that he recalled, did he fail to completely protect his sister in the end?

"My Lord Bishop, was it really me who was the only one who was saved in the snow-capped mountains back then?"

"...I can understand that you have made the corresponding psychological preparations? Alexia." Otto was like a father who was worried about his future life, with a slight concern in his solemn expression.

(Ah, is that really the case?)

Such thoughts suddenly flashed through Alexia's mind.

Since Bishop Otto would say this, it probably meant... that he would hear the answer he least wanted to hear.

"Please... tell me, Lord Bishop." Alexia clenched her fists slightly, "I want to know... what happened to my father and sister after that? What happened to them? Where are you now?"

"I see."

Otto sighed softly, closing his eyes as if he was remembering something. After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "Indeed, as you thought, the people who were rescued by our rescue team seven years ago, Only you. Neither your father nor your sister was anywhere when we found you."

Otto flicked his finger on his personal terminal, and transferred a folder to Ixia's terminal. After clicking on it, what appeared was a report and several photos taken from high altitude. .

One of them caught Exia's attention.

"this is me?"

The main content of the photo is an ice tree, about two or three meters high. The branches and trunk made of ice are combined into a seat. The extending branches are like hands, holding a white-haired child. Put on the ice base.

"Well, that's you. Our rescue team found you in this state while conducting search and rescue at high altitudes using drones. And you are the only one. Of course, we have not given up looking for you. Dad and sister, we searched for a week after that but found nothing."

"..."

only myself.

In the end, the only one who is saved is himself.

Did the power he awakened in the beginning only protect himself in the end?

Alexia is certain that the reason why he awakened this power seven years ago was to protect his sister. He obtained this power to protect his sister, but the result was... .

"Exia..."

Looking at the silent childhood sweetheart beside her, Bianca subconsciously wanted to reach out to comfort him, but before she stretched out her hand, she retracted it first for some reason.

She didn't dare to touch him now - Bianca had this thought in her heart.

"As for your power..."

Otto said again.

"When we found you seven years ago, your whole body was exuding a strong cold that almost froze you to death. We were helpless at the time, but after dozens of minutes, the cold gradually disappeared. , we were able to successfully treat you... and based on my subsequent physical examination of your body, I came to the conclusion that this power was [suppressed] by something unknown."

"Although I don't know how it was done, thanks to this, you did survive. And after that, in order to ensure that the suppressed power would not break out again due to accidents, I was conducting follow-up treatment for you. During the process, I gave you psychological hints in several ways."

body and mind.

In order to prevent the young Exia from being swallowed up by his own excessive power and leading to self-destruction, he was placed under these two shackles.

"And the reason why it is unlocked now may be because you have been given the favor of God. The shackles that restrained your strength have been broken. And as your spirit has grown, my psychological suggestion to you has also been lifted. Part of it, you can correctly understand your own power and use it."

At this point, Otto smiled, like an old father who saw his child get a perfect score of 100 points in the exam. He looked at Alexia with a face full of relief: "Whether I am standing as a bishop or as your guardian. From a different standpoint, I feel relieved and satisfied that you can regain control of this power, Ixia."

"...Thank you, Lord Bishop."

After scattering the ice flowers in her hand, Ixia took a deep breath after turning off the report. As if she wanted to absorb all the negative emotions shown back into her body, she took a deep breath quite forcefully.

Then——

"Finally, may I ask you one more question? Lord Bishop."

"Excuse me."

"My father... and my sister... and even my late mother... what were their names?"

This is the question that Aixia wants to know the most right now.

"Siegfried. Kiana. And, Cecilia."

Otto said calmly.

"Siegfried Kaslana. Once the best warrior of the Kaslana family."

"Cecilia Shaniat. Once the most powerful Valkyrie, the saint of the Shaniat family."

"And their child, Kiana Kaslana."

"These are the names of your [former] family."

5. Miss Rita’s way of enlightenment

On the way out of the bishop's office.

Sitting in the vehicle prepared by Otto with Bianca, Alexia looked at the sky outside the window in ecstasy.

(Siegfried, Cecilia, Kiana...)

This is the first time that Alexia knows the names of her past family members.

No, it's not the first time I know.

Siegfried and Cecilia, whose names Alexia has seen too many times in the database, made great achievements during the second Honkai Impact in 2001, and finally He was a hero who did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to delay time and made a great contribution to defeating the Herrscher.

Alexia never thought that the two of them would be his parents, and no elder in the Kaslana family had ever mentioned this to him.

"...Want to go to the Tianming Memorial Cemetery? Lord Exia."

Rita asked, sitting in the driver's seat in front of the car.

Memorial Cemetery.

To put it bluntly, it is a cemetery, but no one is buried there, only monuments with names engraved on them.

After all, it is almost impossible for a Valkyrie to die normally. Most of them die from the collapse, and there are very few Valkyries who can retire at a normal age. And once you die in the collapse, not even the bones will be left.

Therefore, there are only commemorative tombstones.

"Lord Cecilia is Destiny's hero against the Second Herrscher. After her death, Destiny built a monument for her. If Lord Exia wants to, then I can take you there."
