The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

【Miss Raven! 】

【Senior Raven! 】

Hearing Raven say it so bluntly, Raiden Mei and Anna immediately shouted out shyly!

He quickly took the headset away to protect his ears, and Raven took it out a few times: "I'm talking about you...Miss Mei will not say it anymore, Anna, you are the first one to eat meat, why are you still here?" This reaction? We are all women, so we have nothing to hide, right?"

[That's what I said...]

[I think Ms. Raven is too direct...]

Both of them sounded helpless.

As for whether to go back and see Alexia off——

[Bronya thinks it’s not necessary]

[Sister Bronya...]

With Xi'er's agreement, Bronya said in her usual calm voice: "We still have a lot of tasks at hand, which cannot be dealt with in one day." Bronya decided it was better to prioritize completing tasks than satisfying our personal desires. 】

[Besides, the master probably doesn’t want us to go back to see him off]

Yes.

Not needed at all.

Compared to seeing him off, Ixia definitely wanted Bronya and others to give him a welcome home hug when he returned triumphantly - Bronya still had this level of understanding.

[Bronya is right]

Kiana also agreed with Bronya's statement.

[Brother doesn’t need us to send him off in such a lively manner, and it’s not like he won’t come back once he leaves. We can just wait for him to come back at home. It’s best to prepare a table of dishes or something]

[We don’t know when he will come back, Kiana]

Raiden Mei said.

[However, you are right - then, Vice Captain Anna, what is the next mission? 】

[Hmm...According to the information from the Oceania branch, the next mission location is New Zealand, where a Honkai Impact between a medium-sized Honkai Impact event and a large-scale Honkai Impact event occurred. The stationed team has persisted for three years. God, we need reinforcements]

[Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go! 】

Following the urging from the headset Regina, the members of the Sword of Victory team scattered across Sydney also took action.

Listening to the movement on the other side of the headset, Raven picked up the Honkai Impact sniper cannon and looked up at the sky.

(There are still three days... There are so many people here waiting for you to come back. Don't let us wait for you too long, my dear captain.)

93.World Snake·Departure

11 degrees 20.9 minutes north latitude

Longitude 142 degrees 11.5 minutes east

The Mariana Trench is the deepest place on Earth.

Here, there is a city with relics from the pre-civilization period - Haiyuan City.

At this moment, he was on a platform somewhere in the center of Haiyuan City.

"...."

Kevin was standing there, seeming to be overlooking and looking at this relic of his era.

He still remembered things about Haiyuan City. In pre-civilization times, this place was once part of the continent of Mu, the technological center of the world, and belonged to a city called Atla. But in the ninth collapse, the Ninth Herrscher's dying counterattack created an unimaginable pseudo-black hole, which eventually swallowed up the entire Mu Continent, and all the remaining parts sank to the bottom of the sea.

This Haiyuan City is one of the relics from that time.

"You're here, Kevin."

An old friend's voice came from behind.

Kevin looked slightly sideways: "What's the matter? Velvet."

"The stargate device leading to New Atla has been modified and debugged. As long as you use that device, you can go to New Atla on the back of the moon at any time - of course, it is one-way, and we are only responsible for sending you there. , if you want to come back, just find a way on your own."

New Atla.

It was a complex of buildings on the moon whose entire appearance was known only to the World Snake.

As mentioned before, Tianming and Counter-Entropy respectively conducted exploration and research on the moon in the last century, and finally discovered a huge relic on the far side of the moon. Because that ruin is surrounded by strong Honkai energy, ordinary astronauts cannot go there at all, so neither party has conducted in-depth exploration and research on that ruin.

But World Snake is different.

Regarding the ruins on the moon, the World Snake knows much more than Destiny and Counter-Entropy, including how to get to the ruins and what the ruins are used for - the World Snake knows all these things, and After welcoming back Velvet and Mebius, two of the top scientific researchers from the pre-civilization, the various devices and theories of the pre-civilization period that the World Snake has only been partially online so far can be completely reproduced.

[Stargate] is one of them - to put it more directly, it is an ultra-long-distance teleportation device that can go directly to the moon.

But before the final battle began, the star gate was destroyed. Fortunately, now we have the almighty Velvet. Although the one on the moon cannot be repaired, she can definitely repair the one in Haiyuan City.

This is also the fastest way World Snake can think of to send Kevin to the moon.

"That's enough. Thank you for your hard work, Velvet." Kevin thanked his old friend, "After I go to the moon, you all should evacuate Abyss City. Siegfried Kaslana can also do it. Release it directly back to the reverse entropy, and then wait for the results between me and Exia before deciding on the next course of action."

"We know it without you having to tell us."

Velvet glanced at Kevin as she spoke: "But... you are really cruel to yourself. You are exactly the same as you were more than 50,000 years ago. In order to increase your chances of winning, you actually accepted it again. Mebius' surgery. If I'm not wrong, you hope that Exia can defeat you, right? Then shouldn't you give him as much trouble as possible? Why do you continue to make it more difficult for him? "

"You don't know this, right? Vivi~~~"

Mebius, whose body has grown slightly larger and has transformed from the body of a young girl to that of an adolescent girl, is wearing height-increasing shoes and walking over with a smile, his hands in the pockets of his white coat: "This is a trial. A trial to prove." The guinea pig has a test to overcome the possibility of the end, and the test must be as difficult as possible."

"After all, the more difficult the trial is, the more reliable and capable the person who overcomes the trial is~~~"

This is indeed what Kevin thinks.

Since Exia came to defeat him, Kevin didn't mind giving him the most difficult trial. And if Exia can defeat even him now, then Kevin has no reason to continue to insist on the Stigma Plan.

"There should be no need for you to come, Mebius."

"No. But Klein suddenly told me something. I thought it was very interesting, so I wanted to tell you about it and take a look at the last scene before you stepped onto the execution ground."

execution ground.

It is indeed a very suitable description.

Kevin ignored the cynicism in Mebius's words: "What did Klein discover? Is she in charge of the observation of the Quantum Sea now?"

"Well, I randomly arranged a casual job for her. I originally arranged it just because she wanted to work overtime. I didn't expect that she would bring me such a big surprise." Mebius smiled, "If you're not in a hurry, come with me. Rather than dictating it, it's better to show you the real thing."

"...I know, let's go."

Without any further pause or hesitation, after Mebius finished speaking, Kevin turned around and prepared to leave with Mebius.

[An interesting thing was discovered in the quantum sea]

Kevin remembered that incident many years ago.

More than 1,500 years ago, Su also said the same thing. He said that he found an interesting world bubble and wanted Kevin to take a look, but it turned out that Kevin was sealed into the Sumeru Mustard Seed. At that time, Kevin was aware of his best friend's intentions and knew that he had deceived him, but in the end Kevin took the initiative to step into the trap, giving Su the last chance to stop him head-on.

Suhe succeeded.

But now, Mebius's words and deeds are exactly the same as Su's back then.

Kevin didn't know whether this was a trap, but no matter what Mebius wanted to tell him, he would not waver at all and let his thoughts change in any way - unless Exia defeated him.

However, Kevin soon learned that he was wrong.

Because the world that Mebius showed him was...

——————————————————————————

after an hour.

After Kevin left Abyss City through the Star Gate.

In front of the star gate.

"You really have a bad taste, Professor Mebius."

Glancing at Mebius standing next to her, Velvet sighed: "Show Kevin the World Bubble before he goes to the execution ground... I have reasonable reasons to suspect that you are murdering him. "

"You can label me however you want. Anyway, I've been labeled enough. I don't care about one or two now."

"It's just...don't you think it's more interesting this way?"

An expectant smile appeared on Mebius's lips.

"You should have noticed, Velvet and Kevin, that he has no intention of coming back alive. He is already considered a living dead - but if this living dead is given a little hope to make him want to live, he will How would you choose? Aren't you curious about this kind of thing?"

"...I can't say I'm not curious."

94. Alexia Goes to the Moon

December 10, 2015

15:48 pm.

A rocket launch site under Tianming.

"The day has finally come."

Standing next to the launch pad, looking up at the rocket she was about to sit in, Exia sighed softly.

It has been several days since Otto gave him the oath to deliver Judas. Today is the last day of the agreed month.

Next, when everything is ready, Exia will fly to the moon on the rocket in front of him - this is his first time on a rocket, even though he has done many simulation trainings during this time. , now it is really necessary to directly engage in actual combat...

"Are you nervous?"

When he came to Alexia, Otto held up two glasses of wine and smiled.

"In a sense, the future survival of this world is now entirely up to you."

"Please stop putting pressure on me at this time, Bishop."

Alexia took a glass of wine from Otto's hand: "He even brought me a glass of wine..."

"Drinking can boost your courage, and it can also eliminate fear and tension. It is a very effective way to treat the symptoms. I think you should have a drink now." Otto said while raising his glass of wine towards Alexia, "In addition, , I also want to send encouragement in my own way to my son who is about to save the world."

son.

The name coming out of Otto's mouth made Alexia feel uncomfortable for a moment.

For a long time before, he had indeed regarded Bishop Otto as his adoptive father, and at the same time, he also regarded him as his mentor. It can be said that without Bishop Otto, he would hardly be what he is today. But since the things Bishop Otto did back then were exposed... How should I put it, although Ixia is still willing to regard him as her father, her respect for him is not that much.

However, Alexia was willing to accept his intention.

"bump......"

Their wine glasses clinked slightly.

After drinking the red wine in the glass, Otto continued: "Twelve hours ago, Mr. Su observed a special energy peak in the Mariana Trench. Its instantaneous intensity was not high, but it had great power. Clear directionality. According to Mr. Su’s observations and speculations, it should be the relics of the pre-civilization located in the Mariana Trench that were activated.”

"Mariana Trench...are there any remains of the Fire Moth there?"

"It is said that it was caused by the Ninth Herrscher of the former civilization. This is not important. What is important is that after further observation, Mr. Su judged that it should be the aftermath of Kevin's trip to the moon - he is indeed a world snake, we think You can only rely on rockets to go to the moon, but they can already achieve ultra-long distance transfers."

As a person who single-handedly led the development of all aspects of Destiny's technology, Otto was really convinced this time. He had read about the technology called [Star Gate] in Void Manzo, but because it was really A technology that was too ahead of its time, so he didn't think about developing it.

As a result, Exia is now a step behind.

"This time gap will probably give Kevin thirty-six hours of preparation time - which may be a bit disadvantageous for you."

"It doesn't matter."

Holding up the empty wine glass, Alexia smiled and said: "Whether it's thirty-six hours or seventy-two hours, as long as I make all the preparations."

"Are you ready to use the Oath of Judas skillfully?"

"Well, it's not difficult to use. With the instruction manual, I can master it quickly." Ixia patted the black box next to her - Judas's Oath was inside. "To be honest, I didn't I thought I might be able to use it one day, so I really want to thank Aunt Theresa for being willing to lend it to me even if I don’t know the details.”

In this case, we must repay this kindness with victory and return.

In addition, Alexia remembered that her aunt liked bitter melon very much, and her daily drink was bitter melon juice. She should bring some to her when she comes back.

[Your Excellency Bishop, Your Excellency Alexia]

Elizabeth's voice came over the radio.

[Adjustments in all aspects are about to be completed. Sir Alexia can enter the cabin. It is expected to be launched in thirty minutes]
