Could It Be That Everyone Around You Is a Herrscher?

This was mainly due to the astonishment caused by the stark contrast between the familiar image that appeared in my mind when I heard that voice and the image I saw now.

It was a set of exquisite clothing with an ancient feel, in three colors: blue, black, and white. The Tai Chi elements that could be seen everywhere on the clothing made the visitor appear even more otherworldly. The hairpin in her hair and her flowing long hair further enhanced her ethereal quality.

Not only Rita, but even Durandal, who is usually a bit dull, almost didn't recognize her old friend.

Durandal had sparred with Fu Hua back when she was at Schicksal Headquarters, after all, Fu Hua was truly a perfect sparring partner.

But this was the first time Durandal Fu Hua like this.

But Durandal had a strange feeling, as if this was Fu Hua's true form.

"Class President, what's this outfit of yours...?" Kiana looked at Fu Hua's outfit and didn't know how to describe it for a moment.

"These clothes were left at my hometown. I don't know why they ended up here. It seems like they were given to me by someone named Madame Green Lily. Anyway, this is the only outfit I have left, so I'll just have to make do with it," Fu Hua said calmly.

Because all the other clothes that fit were stolen by some bastard.

Rita, who was standing nearby, raised an eyebrow when she heard the name "Madame Green Lily".

"Durandal, I'll accompany the students for training from now on. For some reason, I always feel like I have excess energy after putting on this outfit, and I need to release it," Fu Hua said, somewhat puzzled.

For some reason, Fu Hua felt much more energetic after holding the outfit in her hands, even though the material was the same...

"Okay, no problem." Durandal nodded.

However, for some reason, Durandal glanced at Fu Hua's clothes with a strange look, but her focus was not on the clothes themselves.

"..." Standing in the private room reserved for the academy president, Chen Luo paused for a moment after hearing Fu Hua's words, then glared fiercely at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

The Herrscher of Knowledge sensed this strange gaze, turned his head, and upon discovering Chen Luo's [Death's Gaze], turned his head away with a somewhat complicated feeling.

Looking at the Herrscher of Knowledge in this posture, Chen Luo opened the ledger that recorded the Herrscher of Knowledge's compensation and wrote down "[Portable Enhanced Teleport Anchor], Price: 110 Primogem".

Or you could call it the 7-day Divine Statue without a statue.

That's right, this is the same Teleport Anchor that saved Durandal and Tevyat.

Chen Luo spent 10 Primogem to add a portable function to it, allowing it to be fixed to items, such as clothes.

This can be considered as compensation that Chen Luo made for those Herrscher of Knowledge.

Fu Hua appears to be in perfect physical condition, but saying that Fu Hua has 30% of her peak strength is actually an exaggeration.

With this 7-day Divine Statue, given enough time, the opponent's injuries will eventually be fully healed.

While it can't be said to be 100% curable, it should be no problem to easily defeat a Herrscher at that point.

In fact, most serious Flame-Chasers can defeat Herrscher, provided they are not functional Herrscher.

The Herrscher of Restraint is not something a human can fight, but at least the first 7 Herrscher are no problem.

Of course, there are some Flame-Chasers.

Yes, I'm talking about you, Pardo Phyllis.

Therefore, it is not a problem to record these 110 Primogem in the account of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Moreover, perhaps because of the special relationship between Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge, and the special relationship between the Herrscher of Knowledge and Fu Hua, the effect of this 7-day Divine Statue on Fu Hua was better than the effect on Durandal.

Chen Luo didn't know the underlying principle, but that was indeed the case.

So this should be enough as a way to apologize, right?

This thing must be more expensive than a dormitory room, right?

Of course, Chen Luo didn't completely give the item away. He could take it back when the other party was almost fully recovered or when Chen Luo needed it urgently.

If we were to ask whether Fu Hua or Durandal was more popular among the students of the St. Freya Academy, Durandal might have had the upper hand when she first appeared. However, when Fu Hua appeared in her fairy attire, she successfully stole the spotlight from Durandal.

Although Fu Hua doesn't care about things like popularity.

Kiana and Durandal, who had exhausted a lot of energy, went to find a place to rest, and the place happened to be Theresa's special private room.

After all, this private room is the most comfortable, at least Kiana doesn't have the strength to walk home to rest.

As soon as the door opened, everyone saw Chen Luo staring down at the training ground below.

"Ah Luo, I just got beaten up so badly, did you see it?" As soon as Kiana saw Chen Luo, Mei quickly helped her over for comfort.

Kiana didn't want to walk so fast either, but the key was that Mei was walking towards Chen Luo in a hurry.

Kiana, supported by Mei, was naturally carried much faster as well.

So poor Kiana didn't rush towards Chen Luo on her own initiative, but rather passively.

However, Kiana was clearly not one to be passive, so she turned the tables and started crying to Chen Luo.

"So?" Chen Luo withdrew his gaze from Fu Hua and tilted his head at Kiana.

"Help me get back at them!" Kiana declared confidently.

"In other words..."

"Substitute player?" Upon hearing Kiana's request, Chen Luo glanced at Durandal.

The younger sister wanted to fight her older sister, but she couldn't win, so she asked someone to help her.

Tsk tsk tsk.

The older sister is kind and the younger sister is filial.

"Yeah, yeah, Aro, you must have been watching for quite a while, right? Durandal beat me up really badly just now, I got beaten up for half an hour!" Kiana let go of Mei and hugged Chen Luo's arm pitifully.

Kiana is also the type of character whose favorability is easy to raise, and she even gives favorability as a reward for giving out quests.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Teach Durandal lesson]: Defeat Durandal and give Durandal a memorable defeat.

Reward: 210 Primogem + 21 Affinity

Difficulty: 3 stars

Look, they're starting to give you favor points again.

However, both the Primogem reward and the favorability reward are somewhat subtle.

And are you misunderstanding something?

Is the quest to defeat Durandal only three-star difficulty?

Who are you criticizing?

Looking at Kiana, who was clinging to his arm, Chen Luo had no interest in feeling the arm trapped between him; instead, he felt a bone-chilling cold.

The source of this chill was naturally Durandal, whose gaze gradually turned hostile after seeing Chen Luo and Kiana in close contact.

So you're the one who wants to hit on my sister, huh?

"... Ahem, Mei, pull Kiana away." Chen Luo tried to break free from Kiana, but Kiana held on tightly, as if she was determined to make Chen Luo accept this request.

"Hey, Aro, aren't you the Omnipotent Traveler? Don't be too scared to go up there, go face her head-on!" Kiana, who was helplessly pulled away by Bronya and Raiden Mei, encouraged Chen Luo.

Go to hell!

Although Chen Luo really wanted to say that, he couldn't just not complete the mission since it couldn't be issued, right? However...

"Hmm? Alo, do you want to have a match with me?" Durandal, who didn't feel particularly tired, looked at Chen Luo with great interest.

Durandal became even more excited after seeing Kiana acting cute towards Chen Luo.

Durandal plans to teach Kiana the 19th point in combat: don't blindly trust your teammates and helpers.

Furthermore, Durandal was quite interested in testing Chen Luo's abilities, since Durandal hadn't actually faced Chen Luo directly during the time Durandal was chasing Chen Luo.

"Uh, that..." Chen Luo glanced at Kiana and the others out of the corner of his eye, and then saw that Bronya, Mei, and Kiana were all looking at Chen Luo with encouraging eyes.

"..."

"Bianca, a gentleman never takes advantage of someone in distress. Since you're so tired from the fight, how about we find a different way to determine the winner? How about... playing chess? How about Gomoku? I'll give you a three-piece handicap." Chen Luo suggested.

"Gomoku, you're giving me a three-piece handicap? Are you mocking me?" Durandal's forehead veins bulged.

"Huh? Not satisfied? Four characters will do too." Chen Luo was surprised.

"...Alright, let's play Connect Four! You don't need to give me a four-piece handicap, I'll go first!" Durandal accepted Chen Luo's somewhat excessive provocation.

Although Durandal said that Kiana couldn't accept being provoked, Durandal herself seemed to be unable to accept it either.

Yeah, they're all idiots in the same vein.

Chapter 254 Is it possible that you are surrounded by Herrscher?

Chen Luo admitted that if he were to fight Durandal head-on without using some tactics, it would indeed be quite difficult to deal with Durandal, who was so reckless and impulsive.

The main point is that if Chen Luo were to fight Durandal would probably engage in close combat and then use the Black Abyss White Flower to poke several holes in Chen Luo's body.

However, Chen Luo's attack method is probably to use the Void Archive Projection to send out dozens or even hundreds of Insanely Modified Thermobaric Bomb, along with Modified Fireball Technique, to attack the opponent.

Although he could indeed defeat Durandal, Chen Luo was somewhat worried about the St. Freya Academy.

Let alone St. Freya Academy, Chen Luo was starting to worry about this island nation.

Therefore, it's better to win by using intelligence.

At least Chen Luo is confident in his chess skills.

After all...

"You lost, the five stars aligned."

"No, this can't happen again! You gave me a penny."

"No, I'll give you a four-point handicap."

"..."

"You lost again."

"This is not scientific!"

"But this is really Honkai."

"Durandal, how about I play chess?" Rita couldn't stand Durandal's confidence being completely shattered to the point of doubting her own intelligence, and decided to teach Chen Luo a lesson in chess.

"Sorry, Five-Star Combo... General! No, Absolute Kill! There's no way to stop it!"

"..."

"Again!"

"Sister Ta, don't come anymore. Playing games will only ruin your life. Calm down."

"No! Let's try again!"

Chen Luo suddenly felt a pang of regret, regretting that he hadn't refused Sister Tazi back then.

Chen Luo originally thought that Rita would be fine after losing once or twice, but Rita insisted that Chen Luo play with her 10 times. Please, it must be tiring to throw half a pound of chess pieces onto the chessboard every time.

While complaining about Sister Ta's unwillingness to admit defeat, Chen Luo poured the half-frame of chess pieces in his hand onto the chessboard.

"Alas, how lonely it is to be invincible."

"..." Sister Ta looked at the chessboard in front of her and fell into deep thought.

Rita didn't understand why she lost so quickly. Rita felt something was strange, but she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

"See? I've made Durandal question her existence," Chen Luo said, turning to Kiana behind him.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Well, it's more than just questioning her existence; Durandal is practically becoming withdrawn when it comes to playing chess.

Durandal still doesn't understand why she could lose even when her opponent gave her a four-point handicap.

[Half a Catty of Chess Supremacy]

Even if you were to play chess against the heavens, you could still defeat them by half a pound.

The effect is that when playing any board game, it can be transformed into Gomoku, and the user will receive half a pound of pieces each round.

At the start of the round, half a pound of chess pieces are poured onto the chessboard. The player who achieves a five-star straight wins the game.
