Void Archives Raises the Banner of Rebellion
As for Kallen getting to know him better and asking who his sweetheart is, he can simply show her his heart then.
As long as it can be put back in within 15 seconds, it won't kill it.
It lasts longer than food that has fallen on the ground.
"That devilish man, you really have a twisted sense of humor. You truly are a devil." Kallen felt a mix of emotions when she learned that her soul was being used as a dowry.
"Thank you for the compliment."
The execution of Kallen was not made public beforehand, or at least not many ordinary people knew about it.
Now that people know about it, it has indeed caused a huge uproar.
"How could Lady Kallen commit such a crime? There must be some mistake."
"Two years ago, it was Lady Kallen who saved our village from the monster."
Such voices rose and fell.
"It seems Kallen still enjoys a high reputation among the people." Chen Luo stood on a rooftop outside the crowd, looking at Kallen kneeling beside the gallows.
"Yes, Kallen was well protected. Under the protection of her father and me, she was not affected by the darkness hidden in Schicksal. Moreover, due to her nature, she has hated evil since childhood and is very concerned about ordinary people."
"Because of the Kaslana family's belief in protecting the people, Kallen cared deeply about the people and was even willing to give her life to protect them, and her fate just happened to prove this point."
"So in the eyes of those corrupt nobles, Kallen was so simple-minded, was like a stupid fool. But among the people, Kallen was extremely popular, and everything she did was out of the purest and kindest nature."
"And it is precisely because of this that there is no fault to be found in any aspect that the resistance to her being named a saint was minimal."
"Kallen is the ideal hero, as if she were born to fulfill the wishes of the masses, but if I could, I would wish she were a little selfish," Otto sighed.
But if Kallen really becomes selfish, then...
Perhaps it is precisely because Kallen does not become selfish that Kallen is Kallen.
The world is not simply black and white, but if even heroes need to think about these issues and weigh the pros and cons, then they can no longer be called heroes.
"So the other person is just too oblivious when it comes to relationships?" Chen Luo asked with interest.
"Slow to react? Certainly," Otto said ambiguously.
In Chen Luo's opinion, Kallen's statement at the council meeting that she had "fallen in love with Yae Sakura, the Herrscher," was not only genuinely affectionate but also likely a ploy to seek death.
This is the Middle Ages, and Schicksal is a religious system. Even if Kallen is slow-witted, she should be able to imagine the consequences of saying such a thing.
"Speaking of which, Otto, have you ever confessed your feelings to Kallen?" Chen Luo suddenly became interested.
"...No." Otto paused for a moment, then shook his head.
"You deserve to be single."
To be honest, they were childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree, and even had a bit of mutual affection.
If you just go up there, you're bound to lose.
Sometimes, feelings need to be explicitly stated.
Especially for a girl as oblivious as Kallen.
Things like this happen in every class, such as "the whole class knows he likes you, but you don't know it yourself."
As for the relationship between Kallen and Yae Sakura...
Sorry, Chen Luo has never been in a relationship, so he doesn't know.
The reason Chen Luo was able to barely understand the relationship between Kallen and Otto was because he had been one of the "entire class".
Among Chen Luo's 1,000 commissions was a matchmaking task.
Of course, Chen Luo couldn't guarantee that his guess was correct, because Chen Luo really didn't understand anything about matters of the heart.
"It's almost time for the Honkai Beasts to appear, I'm going to go join the fun."
"Well, I'll also go to the underground chapel to make sure nothing goes wrong." As Otto spoke, the Void Archive in his hand transformed into a greatsword, which Otto then held in his hand.
"Emmm... this is for you." Looking at Otto, who seemed more like he wanted to cause an accident than to ensure things went smoothly, Chen Luo hesitated for a moment before handing him something.
"What is this?" Otto asked, taking the Primogem that Chen Luo handed him.
"Puppet Mark".
"And the results?"
"The effect is to transform a Valkyrie whose individual strength does not exceed that of B-rank Valkyrie into a puppet."
"A doll..."
"Similar to the Thousand-Man Herrscher, I can control the other party without their knowledge."
If its individual strength is no greater than that of B-rank Valkyrie, then this thing is indeed quite precious.
"But why give me this?"
"Because if it becomes my puppet, I can bring it back to life if anything happens to it." Chen Luo gave Otto a somewhat resentful look.
"Big brother, please, please stop causing me trouble, okay?" Chen Luo was almost in tears.
Tell me, do you think it's easy for me to complete a five-star mission?
He brought two people with him, and both of them were up to no good.
The Herrscher of Knowledge was supposed to beat up Otto, but he forgot to deal with the Void Archive, so Chen Luo has to clean up his mess.
Now she's gone after her seven apprentices.
Of course, this is not the worst thing, because at least Herrscher of Knowledge knows to notify itself; the worst thing is Otto.
Although Otto was behaving himself just now, Chen Luo could see that Otto was now filled with murderous intent.
"Take this. At least it can guarantee that if you accidentally kill your sister or someone else, I can resurrect her and ensure that history is not distorted." Chen Luo sighed.
"...Thank you." Otto nodded to Chen Luo, holding the Primogem, then turned and left.
"Tsk, aren't you going to argue with that?"
[Desperate and lured by his sister Lisa Schariac, Otto releases Honkai Beasts on the day of his execution, attempting to abduct Kallen amidst the chaos.]
Lisa Schariac seized power from the Schicksal, poisoned Nicholas before Kallen's execution, and installed Marcel Apocalypse, Otto's nephew and Otto brother's son, as a puppet bishop, thus beginning her dark reign.
Bishop Otto, being rational, wouldn't shift the blame onto others, but wanting to punch someone is only human nature, right?
After all, when people are unhappy, they can find any reason.
You stepped on my cockroach! I'll kill you!
Of course, it's also possible that he went to find someone else, not his sister Lisa.
"Sigh, putting myself in their shoes, if I could travel back in time, I'd probably... uh, tell my parents to buy more Bitcoin?" Chen Luo muttered to himself uncertainly.
Chapter 530 The Void Archive Raises the Flag of Rebellion
"Roar!"
"Help!"
"Murder!"
"!!!"
"..." Kallen didn't understand.
Kallen didn't understand why things had turned out this way.
The deadly noose was already around his neck; with just a gentle pull of the lever, he would be gone from this world.
The closing ceremony of this event will not be a grand finale.
Or there is another option...
On the way here, the executioner, Grandpa Arthur, who was standing beside him, whispered in his ear that he had prepared a ship for him to go out to sea. He would create chaos during the execution and then rescue him.
Then, as long as you run along the alley to the port outside the city, you can successfully leave.
However, most of the time plans can't keep up with changes.
The terrifying Honkai Beasts that suddenly appeared out of the street instantly dragged the crowd watching the execution into the abyss, turning the scene into a hellish place.
Everywhere, there were screams of ordinary people, the sounds of fighting and the flames mingling together.
"Help! Kallen!"
A bloodcurdling scream, which was quite close to Kallen, brought her back to Kallen senses.
Kallen looked around and saw nothing but devastation.
Amidst this chaotic scene, a ghost floating in the air stood out conspicuously. Instead of being afraid of the Honkai Beasts, the ghost was observing the gallows with great interest.
Grandpa Arthur instantly swept past him and ran towards the Honkai Beasts.
"How could Honkai Beasts appear here? There's a tight security perimeter around this city!" Kallen exclaimed incredulously.
"Kallen!" Otto's voice rang out, tinged with excitement.
"My Kallen, I've come to greet you." Otto ran to Kallen's side with a trembling voice.
"Ah, a job's here, a job's here!" Chen Luo knew his job had come when he saw Otto running over.
Chen Luo also promised Otto to twist the things that the current Otto would say to Kallen.
According to Otto's initial statement, if it weren't for the possibility that personally beating up the other party could alter history, Otto would have already done so.
Is there really a law that your future self will definitely want to beat up your past self?
Although Otto didn't care about his merits or demerits, it's only natural for any man to want to improve himself in front of his lover.
Perhaps Otto simply didn't want to see his past self making a fool of himself here, and he couldn't beat him up, so he chose to deal with something else.
After all, Otto sometimes feels like he deserves a beating when he looks at his past self.
Otto was deeply aware of his past self; he wasn't stupid, but he was far too arrogant.
"Otto, what are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm here to save you, my Kallen," Otto said quickly.
"As for the Honkai Beasts, my father... tsk, that old devil, the bishop, thought his plan was foolproof. He thought that by transferring your former subordinates and Valkyrie units to distant missions, no one would have enough power to save you."
"Yes, but he forgot that there are terrifying monsters in the basement of the cathedral. Those are the Honkai Beasts you captured. I can just unlock their shackles and use some sacrificial animals to lure them out."
"The chaos they've created is enough to dismantle all of Schicksal deployed in the city. Then we can leave here legitimately. Come on, let's leave together, Kallen," Otto said with considerable confidence.
The current Otto is an Otto that hasn't yet experienced the harsh realities of society.
Simply put, he has low emotional intelligence but high IQ.
If Otto had put himself in Kallen's shoes, he would have known that saying such things would only provoke her resistance.
So Chen Luo could only clean up the mess left by the other party.
100 Primogem, 100 Primogem.
"No, I'm not leaving. If we let these Honkai Beasts run rampant here, they'll hurt a lot of ordinary people," Kallen resolutely refused.
Although Otto spoke arrogantly, what Yan heard from Kallen with Chen Luo's help was an incomplete version of what he said.
Chen Luo only let Kallen hear Otto's words that he wanted Kallen to leave with him.
Chen Luo has really gone to great lengths to help Otto.
"Oh, don't joke around. This is such a great opportunity. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."
"No! Kaslana is the guardian of the people, their shield. I will not run away without regard for their safety."
After saying that, Kallen rushed out, completely ignoring the cries and attempts to stop the guards who had been knocked down by Arthur and were barely able to stand up.
"Phew, Otto really should thank me. And in this way, the conversation hasn't really changed much. The two of them are just talking past each other."
Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the threat level progress bar had not changed because of this incident.
"Mr. Devil, please help me get rid of these Honkai Beasts!" Kallen subconsciously asked Chen Luo for help as she rushed down.
Within two hours of Chen Luo appearing in front of Kallen, Chen Luo was incredibly accommodating to her Kallen and often provided Kallen with all sorts of help that she herself couldn't have imagined.
