The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

"——Then what? Who do you plan to do it for? To Benares who forgets you and only has Kiana in his heart? Or do it for yourself, so that you can get a little bit of yourself at the end of your life? satisfy?"

"Don't waste your life on this kind of thing, okay?"

"If you can't let her go, then take care of her yourself. Since that is the person you want to protect at all costs, then don't just hand it over to others, and be responsible for her until the last moment—— You said it yourself, until today I thought about killing you, but now I have no intention of killing you, and you don’t have to die at all.”

Siren: "......"

Is this person serious?

"You...really don't want to kill me?"

"Well, I won't kill you. If I have to say the reason, it's just that it's simply worthless - now, what can killing you bring us? Kiana is gradually mastering your power. If you kill you If this time can be shortened, then I will consider it, but obviously not, right? But if we go the other way and spare your life and let you and Kiana work together, the time will really be shortened. "

"Do you need me to tell you which side to choose?"

Siren: "...You expect me to help you? If you let me take control of this body, you will be the first person I want to kill."

"You can't do it. After all, you are so weak. You can't kill me even if I give you a hundred chances. What's more, I am still immortal and will be resurrected after death. Being killed by you will not only make me feel pain." There will be no impact outside." Alexia told the truth that shocked Xilin. "Besides, didn't I say it at the beginning? I will save Benares, because there is still a place to use it. , so I will take it home - there is no need for you to make a deal with me or anything."

Siren: "...You will regret it."

"The premise is that you can make me regret it." Alexia picked up Sirin and put her back on the bed. "That's it? That's all I want to say? Will Kiana come back instead?"

"...last question." Xilin pursed her lips, "You just said that because the container and I are the same person, I am also your lover. You said this seriously. ?”

"What do you think?"

Alexia threw the question back.

"You and Kiana have the same memory, so you should also know my attitude and approach - if you want me to be serious, then I don't mind."

72. Brother and sister honeymoon trip!

Is what Alexia said to herself sincere?

In the end, Xilin did not inquire into the details of this question, and she did not reply to Alexia's rhetorical question. After a moment of silence, she handed her body over to Kiana again.

Even if Kiana said that, Xilin didn't think she would really fall asleep, and whether Xilin, who was still sealed, could stay outside, all depends on Kiana's wishes. Instead of waiting and being forced back later, it is better to be honest and take the initiative to go back.

She is a lawyer, but in this family, lawyers are no different from ordinary people, and there is no need to ask for trouble.

After Kiana regained control of her body, as she and Alexia had agreed before, the two had a good relationship with each other before Bianca and the others came back.

In the room of my brother and my sister, I secretly eat my brother behind my sister's back...

Kiana always felt like she was about to awaken to something strange.

Then, very quickly, with the return of Bianca and others, the end of dinner time, and the complete fall of night.

The next day came in a blink of an eye.

After bidding farewell to Bianca and others who had returned to Valkyrie's army after their vacation, as well as Aponya and Graciu who stayed at home to look after the house, Exia and Kiana also headed directly to Siberia.

...

Siberia local time.

One forty-two p.m.

Near Old Destiny Babylon Laboratory.

"Buzz buzz buzz~~~~~!"

Amidst a buzzing sound, a military transport plane with the Destiny logo slowly landed on a relatively suitable ground.

Holding her hair down to prevent it from being blown by the cold wind outside, Kiana took the lead and walked out onto the snow.

"Oh~~~~It's so cold!"

The cold wind that blew at the first moment made her shiver immediately, and she quickly wrapped her cold coat tighter.

After walking down behind her and signaling to the pilot that he could return directly, Exia touched Kiana's head: "I told you it's quite cold here, so I asked you to come here wearing the Valkyrie armor. , you don’t believe it.”

Each piece of Valkyrie armor has a temperature regulator. Whether it is a cold environment of more than ten degrees below zero, or an ultra-high temperature of dozens of degrees, it can keep the Valkyrie wearing the armor at a suitable normal temperature without any worries. Temperature changes can have an impact on movement.

In the environment here in Siberia, it stands to reason that it would be impossible not to wear Valkyrie armor.

But Kiana, this idiot...

"Because I didn't expect it to be so cold here! Sneeze!" Kiana sneezed hard, and moved closer to Alexia, "Brother, hug me! Your arms must be warm!"

"How can I walk if I hold you?"

Alexia touched Kiana's neck as she spoke.

And with just such a touch, Kiana suddenly felt a warmth flow out of her body, and the coldness on her body was dispelled in the blink of an eye: "Eh? Brother, what did you do?"

"It's not me, it's Miss Aige. I asked her to use a little cold-resistant magic on you."

"Sister Ai Ge can really do anything, thank you!"

"You're welcome."

Sandiao Aige flew out of Ixia's body: "Compared to this, since we have arrived in Siberia now, it is almost time to start looking for the magic dragon, right? Do you need me to expand the search range? Prince."

It doesn't matter at home, but after leaving Tianming Headquarters, Shajo Aige has re-opened the barrier for perception, sensing all movements within a radius of one kilometer at all times.

"No, no need."

Alexia shook her head: When I went to talk to the bishop yesterday, the bishop had already told me the location of Benares.

It has been nearly sixteen years since the Second Collapse ended. For such a long time, Siberia has been an area where Collapse events occur frequently. This abnormal situation cannot fail to attract the attention of Tianming, so Benares' Existence was controlled by destiny long ago.

There are two reasons why Tianming did not completely eliminate this Judgment-level Honkai Beast.

One is the desire to harness its power. Just like after the end of the third Honkai Impact, the Far East Branch used Changkong City as a place for actual combat training. Siberia, where Benares exists, can be said to be a place where Honkai beasts are regularly refreshed, regardless of whether it is used It is a good place to train new recruits or collect Honkaimon materials for experiments.

If it weren't for the fact that Exia now needs the power of Benares, Bishop Otto would not let him come here.

The second is that it is thankless.

Even though he was seriously injured since the second Honkai Impact and has still not recovered, Judgment-level Honkaimon is still Judgment-level Honkaimon, and its power cannot be underestimated. Without dispatching the S-class Valkyrie, even if the army formed by the A-class Valkyrie can finally destroy it, it will still have to pay a heavy price.

Combined with the above reason... it can be said that destroying Benares will do more harm than good, so Destiny has never dealt with it.

Of course, despite saying it doesn't matter, in fact the situation in Benares has always been under the control of destiny.

Yesterday, Bishop Otto had handed over all the information on Benares that Tianming had collected over the years to Exia, so there was no need for them to go all over Siberia to find it.

not to mention--

"I don't think we're going to look for it either."

Alexia looked at Kiana: "Benares is the companion Honkaimon of the Second Herrscher and is considered her dependent. So theoretically, there should be some connection between the two. If you If the Herrscher of the Sky’s power is used here, I think Benares would be aware of it.”

"Then it will find itself, right?"

Kiana immediately understood what Alexia meant: "What a great idea, brother, should I start now?"

"Wait a minute - Miss Ai Ge, help us find a place where no one is around."

Siberia is sparsely populated, especially near the ruins of the old Babylon Laboratory. The population is even sparse, with almost no one visible. But even so, Exia also wants to reduce the impact on the surroundings as much as possible. After all, if Benares really comes for him as he thinks, the appearance of that judgment-level Honkai beast will have an impact on the surroundings no matter how hard he thinks about it, and it might even directly bring about a large amount of Honkai. beast.

It would be bad if some innocent people were hurt because of this.

This level of precaution still needs to be considered.

"Well... let's go north."

73.Give me the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ruler

Just when Ixia and Kiana started looking for Benares in Siberia.

Far away in North America on the other side of the Pacific.

Inside an apartment on a certain street in New York.

First floor——

"Hmph~~~Haa~~~~~"

Siegfried was lying on the sofa, purring loudly. His face was covered with a half-read fashion magazine. There was a half-eaten pizza on the coffee table not far away.

Seeing his appearance, the Thunder Ryoma who just walked in sighed helplessly, then picked up the briefcase in his hand and hit this guy on the head without mercy!

"Boom!"

"pain--!"

Siegfried immediately woke up from the sofa after being hit hard. He covered his face and rubbed it a few times before looking at Thunder and Lightning Ryoma: "I'm not telling you, Ryoma, you can change the way you wake me up next time." Yes, do you have to hit me with your briefcase?"

"You can't be blamed for your ordinary ways - you become so sloppy as soon as your daughters leave. You should be lucky that they don't see this side of you."

"Hey~~~ What a big deal, Kiana has never seen me drinking. Compared with that time, I can be said to have restrained myself now." Siegfried said as he got up from the sofa. He came down, grabbed the half-left cold pizza and took a bite, "By the way, why are you here? Do you know what time it is now?"

It's past six in the morning.

Who would be awake now except those who had to catch up with early work?

"For work, of course."

Work.

Hearing what Thunderbolt Ryoma said, Siegfried suddenly became more energetic.

Although Kiana and the others only left yesterday for Siegfried, before they left, Siegfried, who had fully recovered, had been appointed as a special executive officer of Anti-Entropy by Walter Young, which was considered official. The addition of reverse entropy.

However, as a special executive, there is nothing in Counter-Entropy that Siegfried can be responsible for.

Unlike Tianming, because of the founder, most of the executive officers of Anti-Entropy are scientific researchers, and most of the people they are responsible for are scientific research projects. Siegfried is a pure warrior and cannot help in scientific research. When it comes to fighting against Honkai, each Anti-Entropy branch in North America has Titan mecha developed by Anti-Entropy. Even the Emperor-level Honkai Even bad beasts can be stopped.

For a while, there was really no suitable position for Siegfried.

Therefore, after much thought, Anti-Entropy arranged a sinecure for Siegfried - to open an office near the Anti-Entropy headquarters in New York.

On the surface, this is a Wanshiwu house that simply undertakes various private commissions. Whether it is investigating extramarital affairs or finding lost pets, it can be regarded as the scope of the firm's work, as long as the money is sufficient. And secretly, this firm is also responsible for solving various anti-entropy tasks, such as eliminating Honkai beasts in a certain place, solving strange Honkai incidents, and so on.

It was a job Siegfried was familiar with.

As a teenager, while running away from home, he did something similar for a while to make a living. I didn’t expect that people now in middle age, in their forties, would still have to go back to the old profession when they were young.

Of course, that’s what it says——

"I actually have a job. I thought you were just looking for an excuse to send me away." Siegfried joked.

It's not that he is complaining, it's just that he has been with Anti-Entropy for a few days. Generally speaking, he should start working on the first day of employment, but he has not done any work until now, so he is inevitably a little concerned.

"Of course the work will be arranged for you, so isn't this coming? - This commission comes from World Snake."

"World Serpent?"

Siegfried frowned.

It's not that he has never heard of this organization, but he only knows about it in the past few years, and because the World Serpent is hidden very deep, whether it is Siegfried or Counter-Entropy, he doesn't know much about the World Serpent and can only capture it. It's just a clue, incomparable to Tianming, who is now almost on the line with World Snake and has an actual cooperative relationship.

The most that can be learned is that the World Snake is a mysterious organization hidden in the dark side of the world.

"What does World Snake want from me?"

"You can ask yourself, the client is outside - please come in, Mr. Gray Snake."

As soon as Raiden Ryoma finished speaking, the door of the office was opened.

Gray Snake, who was holding a black umbrella and with red light from his mechanical prosthetic eyes, walked into the room, put down the umbrella and put it away, then looked at Siegfried.

Siegfried's slightly weird dress made Siegfried raise an eyebrow: "Is he the client? Is it raining outside?"

“[It’s not raining on the streets, but it’s raining in my heart].”

Gray Snake said in a somewhat sad tone, and then quickly changed to a relaxed tone: "Just kidding, I have read some...painful literature recently, don't worry about it, Zig. Sir Fei. Holding an umbrella is just a little hobby of mine, just like some people like getting tattoos or having their ears pierced."

"This...this is really a strange hobby, hahaha."

Siegfried smiled awkwardly: "So, what is the matter that World Snake wants to entrust me with?"

"It's not an important commission. I just hope that you can serve as a bodyguard for a distinguished guest of the World Snake for a period of time. The time will not be long, two or three days. Of course, the remuneration is very generous, and we will also pay part of it in advance, just as It’s a deposit.”

"Being someone's bodyguard for two or three days... Well, it sounds like a fairly easy job. But let me ask, who do you want me to protect? If so, what do you want me to protect? If you are a heinous person, then I will probably betray you."

"Hey, Siegfried..."

Thunderbolt Ryoma immediately wanted to dissuade Siegfried - how could he discuss business like this? Was he trying to break up the topic?

Listening to what Siegfried said, Gray Snake seemed to smile, and after shaking his body, he said: "Please rest assured about this, Your Excellency Siegfried. The person you want to protect, if you must say it, is A person who deeply hates [evil] can be said to be a partner of justice. I believe that it will never make you feel disgusted or disgusted."
