The Kaslana Family Legacy (Continued)
However, Nagatsugu cannot be entirely blamed for being in this state Nagatsugu. His own Lord God seemed to have been manipulating the sword in some rather... fancy and flashy ways just now?
Anyway, Otto said that he was a complete novice and couldn't understand it at all.
"It's probably something like a dimensional slash," Liu Bai remarked.
The abilities granted by possession are quite suitable for weapons like knives.
"Alright, Miss Nagatsugu, snap out of it." Liu Bai vibrated the longsword.
"Hehehe..."
"Hey Otto, wouldn't you say she's hugging Lord God?"
Kallen tilted her head and discovered the blind spot.
Otto: "..."
Now that you mention it... it does seem to be true!
What the hell?! I've been with the Lord God for over a year and I've never even hugged him. How come a foreign swordsmith like you can hug the Lord God so casually?
You're even drooling!
That's incredibly disrespectful!
"Miss Nagatsugu —!!!"
Otto grabbed Nagatsugu's ear and shouted into Nagatsugu's ear in a voice he had never shouted before.
"Waaaaah! Are you trying to scare me to death, Miss Otto?"
Startled Nagatsugu nearly jumped up in fright.
"Phew... Miss Nagatsugu, would you like to wipe your drool—that's quite disrespectful." Otto cleared his throat and retorted with reason and evidence.
"Uh..." Nagatsugu wiped his mouth, immediately revealing an embarrassed and guilty expression, "Gods, please forgive me... please forgive me..."
"In that case, should we stay here as atonement?"
Liu Bai continued speaking, following Nagatsugu's lead.
"Moreover, I can also provide you with some advanced weapon concepts... Come on, Wanzang, do it right."
Imaginary Archive: "..."
With his father speaking, Imaginary Archive could only reluctantly emerge from Otto's body, transforming into a screen to show Nagatsugu a future battlefield filled with the smoke of gunpowder.
Sure enough, the guns shooting out sparks in the picture immediately caught Nagatsugu's attention.
"This is... a musket? A musket of the future?"
Nagatsugu looked surprised.
Nagatsugu is still a very proper knife maker, and he makes only genuine knives.
It wasn't until ten years later, when Kallen arrived in the Far East, that Nagatsugu's art style became less serious.
Seeing Nagatsugu's surprise, Xukong Imaginary Archive didn't even need Liu Bai to say anything. Instead, he very sensibly created a scene of an indistinct white-haired man wielding a flaming greatsword descending from the sky.
"Um... this seems to be my house..." Kallen looked at the picture, a little unsure.
Is her family's Judgement of Shamash really that powerful?
... No, right?
Nagatsugu's eyes were now shining.
"That greatsword... could that greatsword really be made by a human?"
Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Imaginary Archive immediately shrank back into Otto's body.
(Call...)
Imaginary Archive had no desire to have much interaction with Liu Bai, that old codger.
Hmm, it seems like revisiting the "three no's" attitude from back then is actually quite good?
After all, I can't always act so aloof.
"... Sorry, I still have to go back."
Unexpectedly, after hesitating for a moment, Nagatsugu still did not intend to change his mind.
"The path you showed me is very tempting, but... this is not what I need."
Nagatsugu spoke cautiously, afraid of displeasing Liu Bai.
Although she respects the gods, Nagatsugu would never do something like abandoning his principles for the sake of the gods.
"There is really no way to obtain the corpses of monsters here... I know Miss Kallen's father, Mr. Francis, because I met him by chance when I was purchasing parts of monsters before, and Francis ... didn't approve."
Nagatsugu somewhat helpless.
To be honest, as long as you provide enough materials, she doesn't care where she goes.
If it weren't for the fact that she was preparing to earn travel expenses these past two days, she would spend her days forging iron, sleeping, forging iron, sleeping, a cycle that others might find tedious, but she could enjoy it nonetheless.
But the problem is... we really don't have the materials here.
Even Francis, a big shot in the fight against Honkai Beast, doesn't support her. What can she do?
Pack your things and run away.
"Hmm... in that respect, there shouldn't be any problems now."
Liu Bai thought for a moment and then said.
Now that Francis is paving the way for Kallen, things won't be so tight-lipped anymore.
"And just yesterday, Francis personally defeated a Honkai Emperor—in your words, the strongest kind of monster in the human world right now."
These days, apart from Chiyou Himeko the legends of Shenzhou and Himeko, who is still in the Schicksal Black Box and is currently still Firyukimaru, there are no other beings that have risen to the top—that is, those of Emperor-Class Honkai Beast or higher.
This is the ironclad rule these days.
After all, Chiyou was caused by Danzhu Cangxuan's forced growth, Himeko was a relic of the previous civilization.
This kind of thing isn't available everywhere.
In other words, the names Niugui and Huodou that Nagatsugu talks about may sound impressive and may look strange, but they are essentially all low-level Honkai Beast.
The Honkai Emperor is the highest-ranking lower-level Honkai Beast.
If they are demonic beasts, then the Honkai Emperor is a demon king.
In this era where no Great Emperor (Emperor-class) appears, Quasi-Emperor (Honkai Emperor) is enough to suppress an era.
"Is it really possible to do this?"
Nagatsugu was somewhat excited.
The strongest monster in the human world... This kind of description sounds incredibly awesome, doesn't it?
It should be noted that before this, Nagatsugu's life goal was to forge an ultimate treasure sword using the strongest demon beast.
Um... before that.
Nagatsugu now feels that his career has been completely fulfilling—he witnessed the birth of the divine sword!
This is something that deserves to be recorded in history... no, it's a myth!
(Tsk, this old man really knows how to fool people, it's just a low-level Honkai Beast...)
(Should I relay this message?)
Otto said coldly to the Imaginary Archive in his mind.
I've disliked you for a long time, and now you dare to speak ill of the Lord God so directly?
You've gone too far!
Imaginary Archive: "..."
Although this is the kind of development she wants to see, she still feels like she can't get along with a simp.
"The body parts of the Honkai Emperor..."
Back at Kaslana's house, Francis indeed showed a thoughtful expression when faced with Nagatsugu's request and Kallen's support.
"Is just a little bit enough?"
"That's right, just a little bit of shell... or even powder will do."
Nagatsugu adopted a very humble stance.
Although Nagatsugu wanted to pick out some important parts herself, she knew that she was asking for a favor, not buying something from a butcher shop, and therefore had no right to be picky.
Just grab a couple to get a feel for it.
"Just a little bit... that's easy."
Francis nodded.
"After all, this Honkai Emperor is going to be sent to Apo... uh, a special place."
Francis's slip of the tongue made Otto raise an eyebrow slightly, but he immediately took it for granted.
(So, my family has also done research on this...)
This isn't entirely unexpected, given that the Schariac Family has gradually become more of a mascot, with Kaslana handling combat and the Apocalypse Family naturally taking over research and logistics.
In a sense, the transmission of the "infinite wisdom" of the Imaginary Archive is indeed timely.
Honkai... Does Honkai even have scientific disciplines?
Otto fell into thought, but then smiled again.
Of course it exists. The attitude of the Imaginary Archive and the understanding of the Lord God regarding this matter both confirm this.
This... is really quite intriguing.
Francis glanced at Otto, who was deep in thought, and then continued, "But speaking of which, Kallen, you're fourteen now..."
"?" Kallen tilted her head, revealing a blank and adorable expression.
"..." Francis looked at his daughter's dazed expression and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, middle-aged men generally have a strong ability to self-regulate.
After a pause, Francis continued, "It's about time you reached the age where you're sensible, and besides, you're the future head of the Kaslana family... Here, this is the key. Go take a look at our family's sanctuary—by the way, sometimes things that don't look good aren't necessarily bad."
Nagatsugu was slightly surprised.
This silly girl is actually the future head of the Kaslana family?
You really can't judge a book by its cover.
"A sanctuary?" Kallen thought for a moment, then finally remembered that she actually had such a place at home. "Just open the door? And what's wrong with that..."
"..."
Francis's lips twitched slightly. He now seriously doubted that his girl had any awareness of accepting the family head's inheritance—even though he had clearly stated it!
"Yes, just open the door."
Francis sighed, "As for how much you can learn, that's up to you."
That's it—or rather, that's the Kaslana.
"Oh..." Kallen nodded, still seemingly understanding.
"..."
"Is this what they call the 'Teachings of the Sage-Teacher'?"
Once outside, even Otto couldn't help but say something that was hard to bear.
She simply couldn't bear to look at Kallen's dazed expression any longer.
"Ah... we have to study?" Kallen frowned belatedly.
"..."
"Kaslana has her own way of being silly, you'll get used to it."
