Chapter 215 Simp Fantasy

What things can significantly change the lifestyle of people in a particular place?

Is it Honkai Beast?

No, if the Honkai doesn't turn into a very serious disaster but only occurs in very sporadic events, then it's just a kind of misfortune.

For the locals, enough bad luck has already happened.

There have been quite a few things that could have cost them their lives.

Adding more Honkai Beast would only make an already bad day even worse.

This is not enough to change their lives.

What can bring about change?

A large ship is arriving!

The arrival of large ships signifies the arrival of trade. Don't assume that trade was unimportant in an era dominated by small-scale farming and agriculture! Trade still holds an irreplaceable position in this era.

Yae Village was never an important port city.

The arrival of a ship was quite a surprise, naturally causing quite a stir.

Many villagers went to watch the spectacle.

After all, for the villagers, this was a rare and lively occasion, apart from the whole village eating together.

And so, Otto arrived in Yae Village amidst the stares of the villagers who looked at him like he was an alien. Although, in a sense, they were indeed 'aliens' to the villagers.

His purpose in coming here was very simple, and there was only one.

That means taking her back.

"Look, the simp is here." Li Pu stood on the high ground of Yae Shrine, looking down at the person walking in their direction, and said with no attempt to hide his sarcasm, "Looks like my suspicions were true."

"..." Kallen, who was standing next to Li Pu, didn't say much.

Her complexion wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either.

To some extent, the good things are somewhat comforting.

"Mr. Li," Kallen shook her head and said, "You seem to be more mysterious than I imagined, hiding quite a few little secrets."

"Everyone has their own little secrets," Li Pu said. "And I think you can trust me, although my background is indeed rather...difficult to explain."

"But I'm definitely not a bad person."

"How did you know Otto was coming?" Kallen asked curiously. "I'm really curious."

"Because I know," Li Pu said. "That's why I know."

"Because this is Kallen Fantasy."

"Kallen Fantasy?" Kallen was confused by Li Pu's answer. What was that? What did "Kallen Fantasy" mean? What did it have to do with Otto's coming?

Of course, they are very closely related.

Li Pu crossed his arms and looked at the blond boy.

In official historical records, Otto did not travel to the Far East during this period. He remained active in the West, and this period was a very important one for Otto.

In official history, Otto rose rapidly during this period and quickly seized real power in Schicksal after Kallen's sacrifice.

Subsequently, a top-down political reform was implemented in Schicksal.

In the game "Kallen Fantasy, "Otto travels to the Far East. In the story Kallen, Otto keeps a close eye on Kallen after she leaves Schicksal and goes east.

Although he did not choose to go east with Kallen, he actively worked within Schicksal.

This prevented Schicksal from thoroughly judging Kallen and condemning her as a traitor, thus preventing them from hunting her down.

After learning Kallen's exact whereabouts, he left Schicksal and went to the Far East to find Kallen.

In the game, Otto's arrival marks a significant plot point, signifying that the story is about to reach a minor climax. Otto's arrival is intended to bring Kallen back to Schicksal.

And of course, you can also bring the Demon in the Box.

This would clear Kallen's name, and he had also prepared a method to seal her away. He would bring the sealed box back to Schicksal and attribute the success of the sealing to Kallen, thus completely absolving her of guilt. If handled properly, Kallen could even become a hero of Schicksal Kallen.

However, things did not go as smoothly as Otto had imagined.

Upon arriving in Yae Village, a large-scale Honkai Beast attack occurred. Note that these are real Honkai Beast, not beasts infected by Honkai Beast. Although Otto, Kallen, and Yae Sakura are all trying their best to repel the Honkai Beast.

But there are just too many Honkai Beasts.

Although they eventually succeeded in killing all the Honkai Beast, the village also suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing the devastation in Yae Village, and already disillusioned with Schicksal, Kallen resolved to stay and protect the Yae Village alongside Yae Sakura.

Otto's attempts to persuade her were futile, and he also noticed the unusual nature of the box and Yae Sakura's unusual behavior.

At this moment, Otto unexpectedly discovered that the seal on the eight forms was not as strong as he had imagined, leaving a backdoor. These suspicious points led Otto to believe that this large-scale Honkai Beast attack was not a coincidence at all.

Otto decided to stay and investigate the matter as well.

Otto's arrival can be considered the most important turning point in the game, marking the shift from the somewhat mundane early stages to a tragic one.

The power struggle between Otto and Yae Sakura also began here.

'Speaking of which, the Honkai Beast attacked me were also prepared for Otto, weren't they?' Li Pu thought, rubbing his chin.

There's also a scene in the game where Otto is taking a walk alone by the river and unexpectedly encounters Honkai Beast attacking a child who is catching fish in the river.

Then Otto stepped forward and chose to defeat the Honkai Beast to save the brat.

Otto was also fighting a pig-type Honkai Beast.

Just when victory was within reach, Yae Sakura stole the kill.

'Hmm, interesting, very interesting.'

Li Pu squinted.

'Kallen Fantasy.'

Li Pu felt he should have thought of this game sooner. Since Otto made it, the guy certainly wouldn't just create a game haphazardly.

Therefore, Otto generally wouldn't venture into the gaming industry; even if he had the inclination, it would mostly be for his own amusement.

He created such a game and then promoted it vigorously.

That's where the problem lies!

"Aren't you going down to take a look?" Li Pu said. "After all, those down there are your comrades."

"At least it used to be."

"Actually, more than going down there," Kallen said, seemingly lost in thought, "I'm more curious about you. You've fooled me before."

"That familiar-looking thing about you is from the Kaslana family!"

"And this feeling you have!"

"It looks exactly like me!"

Even if it's darkest under the lamp, there's always a time when you can see it. Now that she's realized that Li Pu is no ordinary person, Kallen has been thinking very seriously about everything that has happened since she met him.

This guy seems to have some kind of precognitive ability, and that's the feeling I get from him.

Although it was a group of several people, there was one whose aura was clearly exactly the same as his!

"My Li Pu," Li Pu said. "I'm not a bad person."

"It won't harm you."

"Actually, I think," Li Pu tried to change the subject, "Miss Kallen, instead of focusing your attention on me, you should focus it on Otto."

"Because his arrival foreshadows a bloody storm."

The first major scene in the game environment.

Honkai Beast are attacking the city.

It's coming soon!

Chapter 216 The Question of Staying or Leaving

The far east.

This is not actually the name of a country, but a geographical concept.

This geographical concept is centered on Europe. With Europe as the geocentric coordinate, the Far East includes Ming Dynasty, Japan, and parts of East Asia.

This is a very general geographical concept.

The most powerful country in the Far East was undoubtedly the Ming Kingdom.

Similarly, the farthest country in the far east is naturally the island nation of Japan.

This is no longer the era of geographical discovery, nor the Age of Exploration, when Europeans began to venture out to sea. Our understanding of the Far East is also not very clear.

The previous concept was roughly about being wealthy, rich, and civilized.

However, this was followed by the failure of an eastern expedition.

A new concept has emerged in the Far East: invincible!

In the Far East, there is an invincible nation: Ming!

When there was no clear concept of the Far East, Ming's attitude almost represented the attitude of the entire Far East. This was because Ming had issued a decree against the Schicksal in the Far East.

Otto always felt that this would be the biggest and most insurmountable obstacle on their path to finding Kallen.

But we only realized it when we got here.

Ming was merely a country in the far east.

This country is unusually large and ridiculously powerful. However, Ming's existence will not hinder their search for Kallen, because there are many other countries in the Far East.

Although these countries were vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, they were not actually completely aligned with the Ming.

Ming didn't care whether these countries were on his side or not.

The Ming Dynasty only cared about their tribute; it didn't care about anything else.

Therefore, although the Ming Dynasty issued a ban, these countries did not actually enforce it. Even within the Ming Kingdom itself, the ban was not fully implemented.

Because some of the coastal cities of the Ming Kingdom developed through maritime trade.

As for the country where Kallen is from, Japan.

They completely disregarded the Ming Kingdom's ban. Even if they wanted to, there was no unified central government to enforce it!

As for the local vassal kings, their enforcement of this ban was practically nonexistent.

They're too busy with their own affairs to handle anything else.

Who has the leisure or inclination to carry out orders from the Ming Kingdom?

So Otto arrived at Yae Village without much trouble. In Yae Village, Otto truly experienced a different local culture and customs for the first time.

However, Otto didn't come here to experience a different culture!

He came here to find Kallen!

He doesn't concern himself with the local villagers' trade affairs; he came under the guise of trade, so naturally they have to engage in trade as well. If they didn't do trade...

There is absolutely no reason for the ship to remain anchored here for long.

Because the local Daimyo didn't particularly like these outsiders, and wasn't very interested in maritime trade. However, even if he wasn't interested, the Daimyo knew it was an important way to obtain better weapons, more money and provisions, and of course, some luxury goods.

So they were still allowed to stop broadcasting here for a few months.

Otto must bring Kallen back as quickly as possible.

After disembarking, he went straight to Yae Village.

Having arrived here, he already knew a bit about Yae Village; it was an autonomous village under the jurisdiction of a local Daimyo. The village's Chief Priest Jito considerable power.
