The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

"No, that one is still under development - the leader of the alliance has come to see you and said that he has something important to do. Come with me."

Leader?

(Walter?)

It’s not like Siegfried didn’t know the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance. During the Second Collapse, he and the man named Walter Young fought side by side several times, and they had a life-or-death friendship. He will be connected with Anti-Entropy, and he is currently receiving treatment at Anti-Entropy because he had contact with Anti-Entropy conservatives at that time and had a basis for cooperation.

(What can Walter do with me?)

Siegfried thought in confusion as he followed the lightning dragon horse out of the room. Unlike wounded people like him, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance is supposed to be very busy, especially now that the fourth collapse has just ended. There should be a lot of things that need to be dealt with by him. How can he have time to come here to see it? Is he a wounded person?

Moreover, it seems that he came to this base in person?

Is there anything worth talking to him personally?

"arrive."

After just a short walk, Thunderbolt Ryoma and Siegfried arrived outside the conference room.

Opening the door and walking in, Siegfried immediately saw the man sitting at the conference table and a petite blue-haired girl.

"Walter? Ms. Liesel is here too? What kind of wind brings you here?"

"Long time no see, Siegfried."

The man - Walter Young - stood up and said hello: "How are you?"

"There's no need for small talk, let's get down to business. I don't believe that you, the leader of the alliance, came to me just to chat about family matters." Siegfried sat down in front of Walter very familiarly.

Faced with the attitude of his old friend, Walter didn't have much reaction. He also liked Siegfried's straightforward style. After looking at Einstein, he gave her the opportunity to speak.

Einstein stepped forward: "Then let's get straight to the point, Mr. Siegfried - four hours ago, we received a communication from Tianming, and it was a communication directly initiated by Bishop Otto, using the line It’s the same old line from the Second Collapse.”

"Otto...initiated communication?"

"Yeah. It's hard to believe, but we have confirmed it several times and there is nothing wrong. In the communication, Bishop Otto made an application. We think you still have to make the decision on this matter. So I came to find you."

Apply? What application can Otto make to reverse entropy?

"Siegfried, Otto's original words were - [Siegfried, your dear daughter and son recently learned of your whereabouts while fighting side by side with Anti-Entropy, and now want to reunite with you. Destiny The outstanding Valkyrie Raiden Mei also wants to meet her father again. So, if you two have time recently, just designate a time and place, and we will meet then.]——That's it."

Einstein said.

"Not long ago, as Otto said, while staying in Manila, I had a conversation with Kiana Kaslana and Raiden Mei, during which I revealed your current situation to them. Ryoma, Mr. Siegfried. Now it seems......"

"...Is that all?"

After a moment of silence, Siegfried asked in a low voice: "Otto didn't say anything else?"

"One more note - [In addition, I will not go to this meeting. I am sure you don't want to see me, so please have a good reunion with your children, old friend. The application for this meeting is also yours You can rest assured that my son is asking for it from me]"

(This guy Otto...!)

Siegfried couldn't help but tighten his remaining hand.

Otto completely guessed what he would think before making this comment.

And because of this, Siegfried also understood why Walter and Einstein came to him - it was indeed up to him to decide to meet his children.

After meditating on the spot for a long time, Siegfried raised his head and looked at the Thunderbolt Ryoma who also ended his meditation: "Walter, can you reply to Otto for me?"

"Okay, what's your and Ryoma's reply?"

"[I will be waiting at Anti-Entropy in two days]."

17. Otto’s decision

"Anti-Entropy is here to reply."

Soon after, Tianming Headquarters.

In Otto's back garden.

Forwarding the information he received directly to Alexia who was sitting opposite him, Otto smiled and said: "It seems that Siegfried also wants to meet you, Alexia, Bianca, and Kiana. Time If it's two days later, if this address is...heh, it's probably a certain base of Anti-Entropy. Do you need me to arrange a special plane to send you there then?"

"Excuse me, Bishop."

After reading the reply given by Anti-Entropy with Bianca and Kiana, Exia breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm sorry, Bishop, for suddenly coming to you with this request."

"It's nothing. I said it. Considering the hope you brought back for me, what I am doing now is just a trivial reward. If you have any other needs, feel free to tell me and I will help you as soon as possible. Deal with it." Otto said while taking a sip of black tea. "Speaking of which, I haven't asked about Su Shang's situation yet. Has she caused you any trouble?"

Hearing Otto mention this matter, Alexia immediately raised her eyebrows: "It's not a lot of trouble. Considering that she came from more than five hundred years ago, most of the troubles are within my acceptable range - but next time I will I really hope, Bishop, you won’t beat around the bush and give me someone away like this. Just like you give me the green light in all aspects, I can also accept some requests that are not too excessive.”

"Hehehe~~~ Of course I know, then I assure you that Su Shang's incident will be the last time."

"...Your guarantee is really not convincing at all." Alexia sighed, "Speaking of which, since you are back now, Su Chang doesn't need to stay with me anymore. Right? Wouldn't it be good for you to take care of her yourself? Or you can let Miss Amber come."

"No, Su Shang will continue to please you."

Otto shook his head and said: "How should I put it... Just think of it as my little selfishness, Alexia. I hope I can leave Su Shang to you to [handle], and I The connection with Su Shang should have ended more than five hundred years ago. In the final analysis, Su Shang and I met by chance, and I had no intention of interacting with her at first. "

"The reason why I let her live until now is that I just hoped that she could be a helper for me and one of the means to keep me under control, but now I can no longer use it."

If you don't use it, throw it away.

It's that simple.

Especially for Otto, who only has Karen in his heart, everything can be abandoned, including himself.

"...Bishop, I really want to punch you now for Su Chang, you know?" Alexia's voice deepened, "I don't want to get involved too much in your affairs more than five hundred years ago. But you let her live like this, and then abandoned her. This is so unfair to her, isn't it?"

"For me, there is no such thing as fairness and justice." Otto's answer was still so plain, "Of course, I don't mean that I will not have contact with Su Chang at all. If she needs it, I can prepare it for her. Anything she needs in modern life. Identity certificate, residence, passport, clothing, furniture, living expenses... I can give her all these, and I am happy to continue to be her friend."

"——But they are just friends."

After saying that, Otto put down the tea cup in his hand: "And Su Shang probably won't accept what I said. She may accept the money, but she probably won't accept too much from me. You get along with her. After half a month, you’ve figured out her temperament to a certain extent, right?”

"That's true..."

"Then there is no need to continue talking about Su Shang, right? From now on, the child will be left to you. Place her in a suitable place as you like. I know you will make the best decision. "

(Is this a detention center?)

Alexia sighed softly: "Sushang will go to another world with me in the future - I made an agreement with her yesterday. She seems to want to go out and walk around, and the other world is also very interested. I tried her The strength is there, no problem. Bianca and others also agreed, right?"

Bianca and Kiana nodded.

Otto was surprised, but he soon laughed: "That's not bad... Su Chang will take care of you, Alexia."

"Until she can venture out alone, I have no plans to take care of her for the rest of her life."

That being said, if Li Sushang really wanted to live in his home for the rest of his life, Alexia would not drive her away. After getting along with her for half a month, he also quite liked this girl who called him his junior uncle every day.

With a chuckle, Otto changed the topic again: "By the way, who are you going to take with you on this anti-entropy trip? Bianca and Kiana, plus Raiden Mei, are there anyone else? "

"...Bronya and Xi'er are both from anti-entropy backgrounds. After I go back, I will ask them if they want to go back and have a look." Alexia thought for a while and said, "In addition, I am preparing this After the anti-entropy trip, I will immediately go to the Paradise to deal with things there, and I don’t plan to come back immediately. And Su Chang said before that she wanted to go to the Paradise with me, so I am going to take Su Chang with me."

"And if Bianca is going...does Rita want to ask too?"

"Hmm~~~I think I won't bring Rita with me this time." Bianca thought for a moment, "I don't mean to exclude Rita, but this time..."

Bianca didn't finish her sentence, but everyone knew what she meant.

If it weren't for Bronya and Xi'er's background and the previous promise to Li Sushang, Ixia wouldn't have even thought of taking them with her. After all, this meeting was to meet the fathers of the three of them, and it was a matter that only belonged to their hometown.

"In any case, you can handle this matter yourself, Alexia. I won't interfere. The special plane will be ready at nine o'clock in the morning two days later."

"Okay, Bishop."

"That's it. It's almost time for me to deal with government affairs - I haven't finished handling the ones I accumulated during my previous inspections."

Having said this, Otto looked at Aikesia with some questioning eyes, while Aikesia looked back innocently, feeling relieved in her heart.

Want him to help with government affairs?

There are no doors!

Just do your own thing!

"Bishop, can I ask one last thing?"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Xian Kami Island...the altar of [Holy Annihilation], have you chosen it for the previous trip?"

"Of course." The corner of Otto's mouth raised slightly, "I have chosen a very suitable location. In theory, it will be the most perfect place. I will first modify the design drawing and finally come up with a The design is suitable for our world, and the actual construction... will wait until we defeat Honkai."

"——I hope that when Kallen comes back, she will see a peaceful world with no more collapse."

18. Arrival in North America

After the conversation with Bishop Otto, Ixia, Bianca and Kiana returned home and explained the meeting with Anti-Entropy to everyone at home.

Faced with Alexia's invitation, Li Sushang readily agreed, and Bronya and Xi'er also agreed after thinking for a while.

Although Bronya said that before, she is accompanying Alexia now, so she does not object to returning to reverse entropy.

Then, time quickly came to two days later.

...

New Mexico.

Inside an abandoned commercial airport owned by Counter-Entropy.

"call------!"

Accompanied by the roar of the atmosphere and engines, the aircraft with the Destiny logo landed slowly on the airport.

The first one to step out of the aircraft, Li Sushang, who had taken off the Valkyrie armor called [Jade Knight·Moonhen] and was wearing a simple sportswear, looked at the surrounding scene with curiosity.

"Is this the place called [America] you were talking about? Are we here?"

"Um."

After stepping down from the aircraft with five other people and indicating to the pilot that they could return first, Aixia came to Li Sushang: "To be precise, it's New Mexico in the United States - so Sushang, you don't understand geography either, right? You haven’t learned the knowledge yet.”

"Then when you get back, little uncle, will you continue to teach me?"

"Okay. But let's wait until you memorize some common English words first."

"I know~~~!"

Li Sushang deliberately prolonged the ending, which sounded very cute, but she herself has always been very cute.

Standing not far away and watching the interaction between the two fellow disciples, Kiana was a little jealous: "Brother, is he doting on Li Sushang too much? What do you think, sister?"

"Really?" Bianca didn't feel anything at all, "Maybe it's because Miss Li is very lovable. You know it, Kiana. Alexia is like this now."

"makes sense......"

Kiana still knows her position.

If Alexia wasn't like this, then she would really have to be a sister for the rest of her life. How could she be her brother's underground girlfriend like she is now? In this regard, he wished that Exia could continue to be like this.

(By the way, I haven’t been intimate with Alexia for a while, right?)

During the half month in Manila, Kiana was extremely busy. In the past two days after returning, she only focused on resting. Coupled with Bronya's promotion and Bianca's actions, Exia was... Accompany Li Suchang during the day, and accompany Bronya and Bianca after returning at night.

Kiana was somewhat greedy.

(But... now is not the time to think about such things.)

After shaking her head a few times and stuffing the scraps into the corner, Kiana asked: "By the way, what should we do next? Wait here?"

"Well, it seems that the Anti-Entropy side will send someone to pick us up - Su Shang, don't run around. You will listen to my arrangements as you said." Ixia said as she held her back and was given something unknown. Li Sushang attracted attention, "Calculating the time, it should have arrived not long ago...he's here."

Hearing what Exia said, everyone looked in the direction he was looking.

Two cars were parked at the exit not far away. Stepping out of the cars was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with brown hair and brown eyes, giving people a very mature and steady impression. In addition, Dr. Einstein, who had previously had contact with Kiana and others in Manila, also appeared from the car.

Alexia led the group of girls behind her and walked over: "Are you two the receptionists of Anti-Entropy? I am Alexia, Alexia Messiah Kaslana."

"Welcome to Anti-Entropy, Mr. Alexia." The middle-aged man - Walter Yang - extended his hand to Alexia, "I am the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, Walter Yang. I have been waiting for you here for a long time. .”

(He is the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance... Indeed, he can feel some Honkai energy, but...)

Alexia frowned.

He has dealt with the Herrscher many times. If it is really considered by the Herrscher's standards, Walter's power is really quite...and for some reason, Alexia can feel that Walter's There is a strong sense of "disintegration" in my body, as if it has been dismantled and reconstructed many times.

"...It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader." Alexia held Walter's hand, "I'm sorry for the sudden request for a visit this time. At first, I thought that the two of us would Because of the family relationship, you will refuse."

"From our standpoint, we are indeed opposed to this meeting. But it is Siegfried and Ryoma who make the final decision, so we respect their choice."
