Chapter 620 The World Breaks the Boy's Sword

"Uh...well, can't I go in?"

Chen Tianwu's face looked a little ugly. ɱ

Theresa glanced at the empty conference room, at Anna Shaniat who was a little overwhelmed in the conference room, at Hollander who was accompanying Anna, Amber as the recorder, and at herself at the door from time to time. Grandpa, who seemed to be silently urging her to come in with his eyes, looked at the worried boy in front of him again... and finally shook his head.

She approached the gloomy-looking young man and lowered her voice and said:

"You must have noticed that there is another [personality] in Anna's body. No, it is not so much a personality, but the will of the stigmata, just like Xi'er. But to explain Anna's situation, we must mention and a secret history of destiny, and then grandpa will also have some conversations with the will of the stigmata in Anna's body. This process will not harm Anna in any way. The reason why you are not allowed in... is mainly because the information is against In terms of destiny, it is quite... but it is not suitable for outsiders to know."

"Really? But I always feel that Bishop Otto... is particularly dangerous..."

Theresa laughed helplessly.

"Yes, grandpa, he does not give people a good feeling. Many Valkyries will regard that feeling as the charm or aura of the bishop because of the built-in filter. I was also like this at one time. But I didn't realize it until later. That's what beasts like venomous snakes and cheetahs inadvertently shed before preying on them. The coldness of the expression... Let's not talk about it. Don't worry. I am a half-destined person, so I am qualified to listen. I will ensure Anna's safety. What about you? Are you going to meet up with the jackal first or something? You haven’t contacted your World Snake friends for so long, they must be worried about you, right?”

Chen Tianwu's gloomy expression was slightly relieved, but what emerged was unusual embarrassment.

He scratched his head, with some helplessness in his voice:

"Sorry, World Snake is not the kind of place that talks about comrades-in-arms. Compared to teamwork, I'm afraid we prefer to act alone. If we have to cooperate with each other... I think everyone will regard their comrades as the ones who need to be vigilant most. The target...especially when the comrade is the woman who always wears a hood..."

Theresa could see that this boy who rarely spoke and only let others guess his thoughts with his gloomy expression had done his best.

But Theresa also understood what he wanted to express.

"That's it...if the World Snake doesn't object, are you willing to come to Counter-Entropy? We are willing to give you the same treatment as the World Snake..."

"this……"

Chen Tianwu continued to scratch his head, and then looked over Theresa's head to Anna in the conference room.

The corners of Theresa's mouth twitched twice, she cleared her throat, and quickly said:

"Ahem! It doesn't matter. There is plenty of time to think about this kind of thing after this. Since you don't want to be associated with the World Snake anymore, then I will find a Valkyrie to take you to visit the Tianming Headquarters Floating Port... I am not boasting, although I have now concluded...cough cough cough destiny, but the scenery of the floating port is really good——

"Standing at the first floating port, you can see the so-called Pillars of Hercules, which is the Strait of Gibraltar. Standing at the second floating port, you can see the entire European continent, and you can even see the cloud-shrouded mountains in the distance at the end of your sight. British Island. Standing at the third floating port, all you can see is the vast white sea, and the sea is surging with gold. The scales of light, and the Balkan Peninsula and Asia Minor Peninsula embracing the White Sea like two arms, can be seen at the junction of the third and fourth floating ports, the promised land called Canaan, and the only one in that desert. The green Nile Delta and the fourth floating port are undoubtedly facing the yellow continent of North Africa.

"How about it? Just listening to it, it's not a scenery that ordinary people can see, right? Let me tell you a secret. Anna is stationed in the Southeast Asia branch all year round. She only comes here every year during the Valkyrie assessment. She has no intention of seeing those scenery. If you want to date her, this floating port is a good choice. "

Theresa blinked slyly, Chen Tianwu tilted his head, narrowed his eyes for a while, and then nodded seriously.

So Theresa tilted her body, bypassed Chen Tianwu's not-so-tall figure, and looked at the Immortal Blade who was waiting in the corridor. His eyes passed through the unknown faces, and finally stopped on the faces of two Valkyries standing side by side and dozing.

"Arvette! Susanna!"

"Hey! Hey! Lady Theresa, what's the matter?"

Susanna quickly raised her head and stepped on the instep of Arvette beside her.

"Ah? What are you doing...Uh, Lady Theresa, what are your orders?"

Arvette raised her head and raised her chest, looking straight ahead, showing the qualities that a B-level Valkyrie should have.

Theresa looked at the sleepy faces of the two people, as if she had thought of something, and the smile in her eyes grew stronger, but it was not a mocking, nor a dangerous smile, but rather a certain kind of warmth, which made these two uncomfortable. The extremely famous rookie Valkyrie from Blade of Destruction unconsciously settles down.

"It's not a difficult task. You two don't have anything else to do for the time being, right?"

After the A-level Valkyrie, who was the administrative squad leader, nodded, Theresa pulled Chen Tianwu in front of the two rookie Valkyries.

"Then, please take care of him. Just take him to the floating port for a walk."

"Oh, tour guide! Don't worry, Theresa-sama, I, Susanna, am the best at this kind of thing!"

Arvette looked at her partner with a headache, but in the end she forced herself to nod. Although she had expected it - the more firmly Susana promised at this time, the more unexpected something would happen later...

But Theresa no longer cared about this. After getting the approval of the two Valkyries, she dropped everything and walked quickly back to the conference room.

Closing the door as she walked in, Theresa raised her head slightly and saw Otto looking at her with burning eyes.

She opened her mouth to say something, but Grandpa quickly withdrew his gaze, stared at the nervous Anna, and softly persuaded her in the same tone as he used to coax her to drink milk when she was sick:

"Okay Anna, relax, it's not a bad thing - come on, relax and give control of your body to Eleanor for a while, okay?"

"So...it turns out her name is Eleanor..."

Anna seemed a little confused about the situation.

"Um...Mr. Bishop, can I ask, what is her relationship with you?"

"Do you have to know?"

Otto's gaze became extremely sharp in an instant. Theresa clenched her hands into fists. For a moment, she wanted to quickly block Eleanor, but Otto quickly changed her attitude.

He chuckled and repeated:

"A-class Valkyrie Anna Shaniat, are you sure you must know the relationship between Eleanor and me? Are you sure you want to eavesdrop on the next conversation? I can't make any guarantees to you, but I I believe that a young, polite and sensible Valkyrie like you will make the right decision.”

Otto was smiling the whole time, but Anna's body trembled slightly, but the next moment, her body calmed down completely, and her eyes looked at Otto without any sign of weakness.

"Otto, so you like to embarrass little girls now, right?"

A coldness appeared on Anna's still childish face.

She breathed a heartless breath, like a short sneer:

"No matter what, she is a member of my Shaniat family. Even if I want to take care of her, it is not your turn, Otto Apokalis, to interfere."

"Don't forget, my current identity is the Archbishop of Tianming."

Otto picked up the red wine and took a sip. His golden bangs hung down, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly.

Theresa was a little at a loss as she watched the atmosphere in front of her suddenly turn negative in just a few sentences. It was clear that the conversation was still within the scope of conversation at the beginning, but why did tit-for-tat begin immediately afterwards?

But she saw Amber standing opposite her shaking his head slightly at her, signaling her not to act rashly. Theresa was silent for two seconds, feeling the hostility between the two that seemed to exist and yet did not exist, and finally just gently Sighed.

But she didn't realize that it was this almost insignificant sigh that interrupted the silence in the conference room.

Otto spread his palms flat on the cold table, and the dazzling fluorescent lamp blurred the boundary between his white hands and the metal table.

Eleanor's eyes were attracted by those white hands, but she quickly snorted and looked away.

"What? You, a fool who has committed so many sins, are you going to use this method to prove to me that your hands are clean?"

"..."

Otto didn't answer, he just kept that action and looked directly at Eleanor with extremely calm eyes.

Eleanor felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and Anna's face as the host also trembled slightly. I don't know if it was caused by Eleanor's will, or because the girl named Anna heard these words unpreparedly and already I couldn't help but fear that I would be killed and silenced.

After a few seconds of silence, Eleanor quickly snorted again:

"What? Do you still want to say that you did this all for Karen, so you hope that she and I can forgive you? Let me tell you Otto, no matter what happened was a simple accident, or someone had ulterior motives conspiracy, and at the end, sacrificing ourselves for millions of lives on the Bohemian plains, this is what Kallen and I relied on our own will. The decision made by our will. And everything you have done in the past five hundred years has undoubtedly trampled our will over and over again. If the current situation did not allow it, I would really want to kick your ass with my boot... You... …You were clearly the smartest one among us, but why? Why did you end up making the stupidest decision among us?”

"I never said I was smart."

Otto's tone was not subdued at all.

"Perhaps I was once proud of my wisdom, and therefore committed the crime of arrogance. But from the day I made that decision, I was destined to be a person who let my sensibility dominate my rationality, and relied on superhuman rationality to give birth to He is just a fool who has committed countless sins.”

Otto finally made some moves. He raised his right index finger straight up, and then slowly pointed at Eleanor:

"Also, Eleanor, you are still as stupid as ever."

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Otto's mouth.

That was not the exaggerated smile of the past, nor was it a joke that matched the context.

It's just a smile that can't help but be born in a situation called [Glad].

"I haven't started asking yet. Eleanor, isn't this the same as telling me that Kallen is still alive? So, Kallen is still alive, still alive."

No doubt, just a statement.

It states that Otto Apokalis is extremely convinced at this moment... No, no one needs to believe that Karen Kaslana is still alive, this is a fact.

The smile overflowed on Otto's face, but then faded away very quickly, leaving behind that handsome and pale face, like a dry and barren river bed after the water receded.

He stopped laughing.

The world once broke his sword, but at this moment, he got everything he wanted again.

Although everything about him is actually only one.

Just five hundred years is enough for a young man to change a lot. Even if he gets the message he has been longing for, even if his long-cherished wish of five hundred years comes true at this moment, he still...

I didn't feel much happiness.

Why? Is it because I haven’t actually seen Karen’s real smile yet? Or was it Eleanor's words that forced him to rethink, if he really saw Karen again, how should he respond to her?

Kallen must hate what she did...but that's not right.

These are things that Otto Apokalis already understood when he made the decision that determined everything five hundred years ago. How could it hinder him five hundred years later?

But he did not feel happiness, let alone any sense of satisfaction.

Is it because it is not your own efforts that realize your long-cherished wish? Maybe, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Since he has already chosen to do whatever it takes, why should he care about whose means Kallen survived?

So what is this feeling of emptiness in your heart?

Otto's eyes wandered around the conference room.

Teresa, Bianca, Amber...Eleanor.

I always feel like something is missing...

【I always feel like something is missing...】

There is a person who should share this information with him at this moment. Perhaps only by sharing the information that Kallen is still alive with her can he feel joy, happiness and satisfaction... And now that she is not here, no matter what he gets, No news brings happiness…

Is it Kallen herself?

No……

But that person's name is not important. What is important is that at this moment, only she can understand him, only she can know everything in his heart.

Otto squinted his eyes and covered his forehead. He carefully controlled his thoughts, controlling them to bypass the name that seemed taboo at the moment like a river bypassing the islet in the middle of the river.

But it was a pity for him because he had promised her that he would let her witness this moment.

"Hehe...hehehe..."

Otto laughed for no reason, why should he laugh...

In fact, it may not be for that reason. In fact, it is entirely possible that he has already guessed the news of Kallen's survival through Eleanor's existence, and a few months have allowed him to accept this reality invisibly. , so his mood will not fluctuate much at this moment.

Yes, yes, that must be the case.

For the first time in five hundred years, Otto Apocalis made an unprecedented move.

No one knew that so many thoughts were passing through his mind at this moment.

Everyone thought that his body and heart had already been assimilated with this body, as hard and cold as soul steel.

Everyone took his expressionless face as a restraint of emotions, whether it was Theresa, Bianca, Amber, or Eleanor... No one discovered the truth that was not difficult to find at all——

The man named Otto Apokalis is so sad and lonely at this minute and this second.

"hehe……"

Otto's expressionless laughter continued. He gently covered his face. When he took his hands away, the old joking and frivolousness returned to that face.

"What's wrong, Eleanor? Are you shocked by my IQ? Are you thinking: [I obviously didn't say anything, right? Why did Otto guess at once that Kallen was still alive?]"

"Um?"

Eleanor's brows were raised, her expression paused for about two or three seconds, and then she shook her head seemingly coolly:

"It seems that time has not cured your narcissism."

"Time has not been able to cure my narcissism. I apologize to you on behalf of the god who controls time. But if I remember correctly, you seemed to have liked someone so narcissistic before, right?"

"puff--"

The bitter melon juice that Theresa had just taken into her mouth spurted out instantly. She quickly hid the [Portable Bitter Melon Juice Cooler] under her skirt, and then hurriedly wiped a pile of green liquid on the table in front of her with her sleeves while panicking. Apologize selectively:

"Cough cough cough! I'm sorry, I didn't know grandpa you were so popular when you were young...ah, I didn't say anything just now, don't worry about me..."

Eleanor shrugged, ignoring Teresa's violent reaction.

"I admit that I was blind when I was young, but to be honest, aren't you curious? I could have told you this matter long ago with the will of the stigmata, but why have I kept it hidden until now?"

"Huh? I don't think it's a big deal. After all, you and Kallen never get along."

[Anna] There were already blue veins bulging on her fair forehead, and Eleanor suddenly raised her foot and stepped directly on the table:

"Otto, if you don't behave any more, I...I...I will stuff the heel of my boot into your nostril-"

"You've used this threat before, try another one!"

"Bang!"

The metal tabletop shattered directly.

"Then I'll shove the heel of my boot into you... into your asshole! Don't think I don't dare to do it!"

As soon as the voice fell, Anna's cheeks were already red. She quickly took back control of her body and waved her hand to apologize to the bishop, but before she could say anything, her body was taken away by Eleanor again.

"Let's pause for a moment, everyone calm down, how about that?"

Yulan Dale stood in front of Eleanor at the right time.

Looking at the face of the girl in front of her, recalling her figure holding the black abyss and white flower in her mind, Eleanor's eyes suddenly stared at her face, and then smiled strangely.

"Forget it, let me say one more word, I don't like to keep people in suspense."

Eleanor pushed Yulan Dale's body away, walked in front of Otto, and looked him in the eye.

"The reason I didn't tell you earlier was because the girl who saved me and Karen... well, let's just say it was the girl's request."

Eleanor paused, closed her eyes, and quietly recalled the original words of the pink girl:

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. You shouldn't have to bear all this. But you shouldn't have lived through today. I really don't want to watch your lives dissipate, nor do I want to watch more tragedies repeat in this world, and I don't want to watch the tragedy between me and him repeat in your generation. But, I really want to see his ending, to see him and [me] reunited... So I can't stop all this, because I... am just a selfish [human] after all. So... even though the following words sound like me I don't know how to repay a favor, but can you please accompany me, a fairy, for five hundred years in this world called Eternal Paradise? "

When she became the will of the holy scar with the help of the old dove and tried to interfere with the world, the girl appeared again:

"I'm sorry, but can you wait until you can't hide it anymore before telling Otto that Kallen Kaslana is still alive? This is really important to me. For the rest, trust Su, he will definitely show you a way to the end. Then... we really have to say goodbye. Keep moving forward, your era will definitely defeat the collapse"

In response, the old dove replied:

"No matter what, please believe her, just like you believe me. "
