The Crucifixion Cross

"It looks very cold? Hehe~ That's just not the disguise of Master Ulandal," the black-bellied maid said with a smirk: "Master Ulandelle is best at two things. The most direct violence is to destroy the enemy in front of you, and the other is to disguise yourself."

As if remembering something interesting, the maid's smile suddenly became softer and warmer.

"That child... no, Master Ulandal is like this. His way of thinking has always been a straight line, pure, straightforward, and never concealed... It's not that such a character is bad, but Master Ulandal is after all I am a talent who became famous at a young age, and I can't always be by Lord Youlandal's side, so I disguise myself with indifference--in this society, KY who can't read the atmosphere is still a minority, and the vast majority of people in After seeing Lord Youlandal's awe-inspiring and indifferent posture, they will leave wisely."

"So that's how it is..." Su Fei nodded thoughtfully, "Is this also a self-protection mechanism?"

"That's not the case, it's just that Master Ulandal doesn't like to communicate with outsiders." Rita shook her head lightly, with a bit of pampering and helplessness in her tone, "Sometimes, being 'excellent' can also become a burden ——In the beginning, Mrs. Urandale was just too lazy to talk to those guys who were courteous to the youngest S-rank Valkyrie from Destiny, but over time, Mrs. Urandale found that those people would be very interesting to face the indifferent self After walking away, she developed such a habit..."

"You mean, the original Ulandal was not like this?"

"Well, that's a good kid who likes to make friends with other people~"

Recalling her adventures in the world bubble of Quantum Sea, Rita's expression softened a bit.

This is an expression that Rita, who just stays by Su Fei's side, will never show. It makes people seem to be immersed in the tenderness like water.

"You really like Ulandal, Rita."

Su Fei said softly.

"……Eh?"

Rita was slightly startled and hesitated for a moment.

Just when Su Fei thought she was going to evade it with jokes or dirty jokes, Rita relaxed her expression and said with a light smile:

"Yes, I am, but I like Lord Youlandelle the most~"

"Then you are still so anxious to push her into my arms?"

"Isn't it good to fall in love with the person whom the person you like likes~"

"I'm a little confused by your corresponding relationship... Who likes whom, and who should like whom?"

"Well, it's up to you to think for yourself~"

Rita smiled slightly and took the conversation to the next stage:

"No kidding, Mr. Su Fei, attacking Mr. Ulandal should be the most suitable way for you to deal with it—you also know that facing Youlandai who has the second holy relic and the black abyss and white flowers in hand My lord, even you must fight with all your strength."

"I know that."

Su Fei nodded lightly. He didn't know how powerful the second holy relic was, but Youlandelle was issued a strong certificate by Master Haogui after all. Yuan Baihua has a deep understanding of the unreasonable destructive power.

Although Su Fei hasn't touched the edge of Heiyuan Baihua's rated power, Xilin has told Su Fei about the ability of "White Flower" to revive.

Not to mention 'Heiyuan', Su Fei has used it himself, its destructive power at the physical level is almost unsolvable, except for the more unreasonable ether, it is hard to imagine anything that can stop Heiyuan at the atomic level cracking damage.

But it’s not something you can use if you want to. The power of the small Moonlight Throne reactor of the Soul Sword is just that. It’s okay for ordinary Houkai beasts and A-level Valkyrie, but for S-level… let’s give it to Su Fei. Send a 'hehe'.

Taking a step back, even if Su Fei solved the power problem by exploding the seeds, Su Fei could not afford the consequences of using ether indiscriminately.

The overhead element——ether, this is the power that can 'change the world' in a realistic sense.

According to Kazama Jin, the savior girl who claimed to be "Penglai Temple Nine Heavens" was able to control the ether proficiently, and controlled the power just right within the range of not too much interference from "reality"—that is, using ether as Using pure 'high-grade energy' is something that Su Fei, who has only been in touch with ether for less than two months, cannot do.

To perfectly control this higher-level power than Honkai, Su Fei must rely on the help of Siren and Pneuma, but he can't drive Siren and Ulandal to fight each other, can he?

Isn't that looking for death?

Even with the help of Pneuma, Siren's flexibility cannot be compared to that of the human Ulandal, which is the fundamental reason why Su Fei regards Siren as the "anti-sky city" treasure—letting Siren fight battleships Fighting against the Floating Void City is naturally one-on-one, but if it is against an S-rank Valkyrie who holds the God's Key, it becomes the opponent's one-shot on him.

This is the advantage of high mobility and high firepower.

It is an inevitability of historical development that the giant cannon ships are replaced by mobile suits!

"If you can, it's better to avoid direct confrontation and use other methods to solve the problem."

"The best way is to call Youlandelle now, and everything will be solved." Su Fei spread her hands, "As long as you can confirm your safety, isn't it? She came here on purpose because she was worried about you. To the Oceania Branch which is closest to the Far Eastern Branch which has already been captured?"

"But in this way, Bishop Otto will also know about my plan with Lord Ulandal," Rita sighed, "For us untrusted S-rank Valkyrie, 'monitoring' is already considered a crime." It's a milder method, even if it's Lord Youlandelle, it's impossible to completely isolate the monitoring from the Destiny Logistics Technology Department, so it's impossible for me to contact Lord Youlandelle on my own initiative."

"I always feel that you are forcing me on the way to attack your house, Youlandelle..." Su Fei rubbed her chin, suddenly feeling something was wrong.

"Perhaps it is true, but..." Rita smiled, "You don't have a better solution, do you?"

Spend zero words: I swelled up. I finally swelled up after the lucky bag New killed the killing yard and sent stones to prostitutes for nothing. The second treasure failed so badly, o(╥﹏╥)o

Chapter 6. Please be happy

"Although what you said is correct, I really have nothing to do, but why do I always feel that you are deliberately pushing me down this road?" Su Fei narrowed her eyes and looked at Rita suspiciously, "You just So you want to push your Lord Ulandal into my arms?"

"Master Su Fei, you think highly of the Valkyrie's status in the destiny," Rita sighed, "The situation of the S-rank Valkyrie is not as good as the outside world imagines, and we are often not as good as the ordinary A-rank Valkyrie. ——It is true that they are only used as tool people for combat, but S-level tool people are not even as good as tool people, because Bishop Otto will not doubt whether his tools will rebel. Living in this environment, Mrs. Ulandal, almost It is impossible to talk about an ordinary love like a normal person."

"So you found me?"

"Because Mrs. Su Fei is indeed the most suitable," Rita smiled. "No matter your strength, family background or appearance, you are impeccable. Although you can't say 'perfect', the problem of being fickle is really a bit of a headache. But judging from the current situation, there is indeed no one who is more suitable for Lord Ulandal than you."

"cough--"

The word 'Huaxin' made Su Fei cough unnaturally, but after so long, Su Fei's skin thickness has already improved a lot, and his embarrassment and unnaturalness only existed for less than a second. time.

"Anyway, I still don't think you're a good 'matchmaker'—although Lord Youlandell's situation is quite special, maybe she will meet her true love in the future!"

"Master Su Fei...you seem to have a very high misunderstanding of the marriage rate of Valkyrie." Rita was silent for a while, showing a very complicated smile, "like Master Cecilia, who is married to Siegfried After all, the Valkyries whose families are destined to be together and finally reap happiness are still a minority. The vast majority of Valkyrie skipped this stage in their life history—they died on the battlefield without even a chance to feel "love" .”

"……what?"

"Destiny is not Mishima..." Rita lowered her head and said softly: "In Destiny, the Valkyries are never considered as human beings, they are only used to fight against Houkai—no, they are tools to fulfill wishes and obtain benefits , was cultivated like a tool, sent to the battlefield like a tool, and finally lost like a tool... This is the life of a 'normal' Valkyrie of Destiny."

She looked at the astonished Su Fei, with a trace of bewilderment in her eyes:

"Not to mention getting married and having children, even love is an extremely extravagant thing... After all, there are only a few Valkyries like Major Himeko who can still maintain themselves after countless battles, and the vast majority of Valkyries are in endless battles During the torture, I gradually lost the consciousness of being a human being, thinking like a machine, and 'existing' like a machine... This is why Lord Ulandal and I chose to betray the destiny."

Rita pursed her lips and said seriously:

"We can no longer accept Bishop Otto's madness. If we continue to stay in the destiny and use it for him, sooner or later, Master Ulandal and I will become accomplices in pushing mankind to extinction, and we will not even be allowed to think independently. The weapons we have... that's not what we want to see."

"The Valkyries of Destiny, are they in such a bad situation? But I heard Jizi say before that the Far East branch where she works now has established a Valkyrie dedicated to cultivating 'more like humans than tools' The college? I remember, it seems to be called St. Freya College."

"Yes," Rita nodded lightly, "Santa Freya College has indeed been established, but what's the use of it? After all, it's just a toy used by Bishop Otto to prevaricate his granddaughter...

"St. Freya Academy is not so much a school for training Valkyries, but an orphanage for poor children who lost their families due to the collapse...

"Her efforts have no meaning in improving the situation of all Valkyries."

She hooked the corner of her mouth and said with a wry smile:

"Those Valkyries who voluntarily sacrificed themselves in order to avenge the Houkai, like Major Himeko, would not mind being used as tools, but what about other children? Like me and Master Ulandal, just because they have" A child who was 'selected' by Bishop Otto for his talent...

"These children should have had a normal life like ordinary people, but because of the existence of destiny, their lives were forcibly distorted."

Rita sighed, the loss and regret in her eyes were almost beyond words:

"Miss Sirin is a good example. Without the intervention of destiny, how could Miss Sirin be brought to Siberia and be chosen by the Houkai consciousness as the host of Herrscher?

"Her tragedy was caused by Bishop Otto. What's even more tragic is that the purpose of Bishop Otto's doing this was not even the lofty 'for the future of all mankind'. He just wanted to realize his wish!

"Those children...those Valkyries should never be constantly sacrificed as a tool to satisfy someone's wishes-no, such deaths are not even 'sacrifices', their deaths, their lives have nothing at all. value!

"For these Valkyries who have been deprived of even the value of 'life', the so-called 'happiness' is really an unattainable luxury...

"Indeed, it would be the best if Lord Youlandell can find his true son in the future, but can Lord Youlandell really wait until that day?

"Lord Su Fei, it's hard for me to pin my hopes on the unreachable future—compared with the 'future' that I don't know if it exists, I prefer to believe in the 'now' that I have seen with my own eyes."

Looking at the silent Su Fei, Rita said quietly:

"Although I am a little sorry for Ms. Sakura, thanks to her, thanks to what I saw and heard in Mishima during this period, I can finally be sure of one thing—Master Su Fei, you are an existence that can bring happiness to others .”

The slender high-heeled shoes stepped on the wooden floor, and the 'da da' sound seemed to hit Su Fei's heart, making him suddenly want to look away, but Su Fei quickly restrained this inexplicable urge , looking seriously at Rita who was walking towards him.

Those rose-purple eyes are as soft as a dream...

A heart-wrenching smile bloomed on Rita's lips. She leaned her forehead on Su Fei's shoulder, and her gentle and soft voice was as thin as a pipe, but it still penetrated into Su Fei's heart very clearly:

"So, please, please make her happy, Lord Su Fei..."

Spoiler: I got 8 apples yesterday, and I finally got enough QP to fill up Earl and Skadi's skills... I originally planned to pay my salary and then make up for another order and two treasures, but the third anniversary of Onmyoji and Azur Lane The latest batch of skins made me change my mind...

Chapter 7. The Valkyries of Oceania

Since the end of the eighteenth century, Oceania has become the most important piece of the puzzle of Tianming's overseas expansion plan-no matter how much the Portuguese and Spaniards do, they just burn, kill and loot, and all they want is wealth.

The colonists from the British Empire were different. From the moment they set foot on this land, the sovereignty of this land was transferred to the destiny of the whole of Europe.

Otto Apocalypse officially entered the stage of history at the end of the fifteenth century (Karen died in 1477 at the age of 23) and became the actual controller of destiny, but at that time Europe was facing the ravages of the Black Death , the failure of the Eastern Expedition, the squeeze of indulgences...

Even though Otto had already made up his mind to ignore the ethics and morals of being a human being, the harsh external environment made it difficult for him to move forward.

From the outbreak of the Black Death to the beginning of the counterattack with the "special medicine" made by Otto using the stigmata of Kaslana's family as a sample, it took Europe 150 years to barely heal the wound.

Even Otto, who is amazingly talented, did not start to gradually extend his hand to farther places until Europe got a room to breathe.

In order to get out of the haze of the Black Death and indulgences as soon as possible, and also to expand the rule of destiny to the world, Otto used almost everything in that dark age. Burning, killing, and looting were just the most basic means of earning money. More often than not, Otto focuses on the land itself—the only thing more attractive than golden eggs in this world is the hen that can lay golden eggs.

Driven by Otto behind the scenes, a colonial frenzy sweeping the world kicked off.

Oceania is just an insignificant part of that dark history.

To this day, even though it has gained "independence" in name and the so-called colonial system has long since vanished, in fact, the branch established by the Mandate of Heaven in Oceania still has great and terrifying power.

It is no exaggeration to say that the heads of state in Oceania are no different from the servants of destiny. They are just puppets used by Otto to control this actual colony.

This extremely distorted political system has endowed Destiny with the capital to do whatever it wants throughout Oceania. Even if it is just an A-level Valkyrie, they have to provide food and drink, and when even Destiny only has three S When the super Valkyrie came to the Oceania branch, those high-level government officials showed up in full force, and they couldn't wait to offer their loyalty to this upstart.

The current time is 47:12 in the morning, and the Perth International Airport, located [-] kilometers northeast of Perth, the capital of Western Australia, is already crowded with senior officials from various countries in Oceania, which usually only appear on TV At this time, the big characters on the screen were crowded together like pieces of fish in a can of sardines, almost filling the entire VIP hall.

Looking at this messy scene, a leader who often gave various speeches in front of reporters wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice:

"Bianca Yolandale Atagena, the legendary S-rank Valkyrie, the holder of the God's Key Black Abyss White Flower...I didn't expect that such a big person would come to this small Oceania branch."

"It is said that this big man is here to find someone..." The secretary beside him lowered his voice and whispered in the ear of the potbellied leader: "Oceania is just a transit point, and her destination... is the Far East. "

"Far East—!?"

The leader's complexion changed, and a strange look suddenly flashed in his eyes:

"That is to say, her target this time is Mishima? Is this news reliable?!"

"I'm sorry, I'm just hearing about it..." the secretary said awkwardly.

"Hearsay?" The leader frowned, "...who did you hear it from?"

"This..." the secretary coughed lightly, and lowered his voice to the point where he could hardly hear it, "It's a friend of the classmate of the son of the foreign minister of a neighboring country... don't rush to get angry, I also know, no matter what you say Whether it is true or not, those guys must have no good intentions, but... for us, this is also an opportunity, isn't it?"

"..."

Even if the leader didn't speak, the secretary understands the truth. Of course, a big leader like him would not understand.

The world structure 20 years ago was still dominated by Tianming’s family, only Anti-Entropy with Midi as its backer (Anti-Entropy originated in the North American branch of Tianming, and the sponsor of the branch at that time was Edison, the number one wall-hanger in Beng 3, you can directly Treating the North American branch as a subordinate department of **Dickson, basically refusing to listen to the will of the European headquarters) can barely compete with it, but today is no different from the past, and now they have one more choice besides destiny and anti-entropy...

In the not-too-distant Far East, an ancient family that has been silent for thousands of years is waking up from its slumber, announcing the opening of a new era to the world with ferocious minions——

They are not like the brutal destiny and the anti-entropy that puts the interests first. This ancient family that has existed for 2000 years knows better than anyone how to maximize the benefits without losing the interests of both parties. At the same time, what he offered The conditions are also the most exciting among the three parties.

Beyond that, even violent means...

Recalling the cold edge that seemed to freeze time, the leader's eyes could not help showing a bit of fear.

But after this deep fear, there is even more excitement...

His last term, his last term, his last term... For a full 2014 years from 500 onwards, every leader in this land is a puppet of destiny, no matter whether each new official has No matter how determined you are, how much you want to change this humiliating political situation, you will inevitably end up being taught to be a human being.

The Mishimas are different. Although they and Tianming also require benefits and military privileges, there are still decisive differences-the Mishimas are not interested in 'power' itself.

In layman's terms, Mishima is just adding protection fees while expanding the territory, while Destiny and Anti-Entropy want to make them sons.

The gap in this is nothing short of exciting.

After pondering for a long time, the leader said slowly:

"...I will think about these things carefully."

"Then please."

The secretary bowed deeply.

At this moment, the sound of the turbulent air flow reached the ears of everyone present at the same time.

That wild roar was like the roar of a giant beast, and just listening to it made people feel palpitations.

I don't know who shouted, 'Master Ulandal is here! ', in an instant, everyone listening to the VIP rushed towards the tarmac impatiently like high school students rushing to the cafeteria.
