Chapter 472
"Ugh, I'm so tired. I knew talking to those people was tiring, but I never imagined it would be this tiring... I feel like I'm about to collapse."
Finally leaving the "welcome banquet" prepared for the bishop, Shen Gonglin returned to Durandal and Rita's room and immediately collapsed onto the large bed, rolling around in bed. Yukari Yakumo followed her back, while Rita and Durandal were still dealing with other matters. Looking at Shen Gonglin, who seemed genuinely exhausted, Yukari Yakumo hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back. In truth, it was Durandal and Rita were truly exhausted.
"Well, if you hadn't accidentally betrayed your ally, I don't think this banquet would have been so exhausting. Why did you talk like that when you were talking to our own people? I saw that girl was almost crying."
Recalling everything that happened at the banquet, Yukari Yakumo sat speechlessly on the edge of the bed and patted Shen Gonglin. This guy was like an arrogant hedgehog as soon as he entered the banquet. The girl Anna was clearly an ally, but he shut her down so badly that she couldn't say a word. It made everyone think that the new bishop was going to use the Schariac family Shen Gonglin a scapegoat. This is what they call being unable to distinguish friend from foe. If Li Sushang hadn't interrupted at the end, that girl would definitely have run away crying. Even Yukari Yakumo couldn't explain Rin Jingu's actions.
"Who knew she was my teammate? I thought I was the enemy of the world. Rita told me to be more arrogant, so I had no choice but to be more arrogant. Otherwise, what would I do if others bullied me? Who knew things would turn out like this? Sister Purple, why don't you go and apologize to Anna for me?"
Shen Gonglin ran her fingers through her hair in frustration. All she remembered was Rita telling her to be a little more arrogant, and poor Anna ended up as cannon fodder. Now she felt really bad for her, but she was too embarrassed to ask Shen Gonglin to apologize. Maybe she should ask Yukari Yakumo to help her.
"Don't think about it, solve your own problems... Seele seems to have gone to comfort that girl, I think it should be fine. In the future, you should leave these kinds of things to others, this is really not something you can handle."
He reached out and patted Shen Gonglin's head. This matter should be left to someone who is good at it. Just as Rita said, Shen Gonglin does have problems with social skills. In the future, we will need someone with special talents to handle this.
"... That makes sense, but Sister Purple, who do you think is best suited for this kind of thing?"
Shen Gonglin had to admit that there were things in this world that Durandal Shen Gonglin Rita were indeed very capable, but they were also combat personnel. Entrusting these tasks to them would be a bit too much of a burden.
Chapter 249 Chief Operating Officer
The right person? Isn't that someone who's both far away and right in front of you?
Yukari Yakumo climbed onto the bed. The Sage was now approaching Shen Gonglin like a seductive little fox. Finally, they had a chance to be alone together. Durandal and Rita would probably not be back for a while, and this was her opportunity. They didn't think she was just a simple older sister, did they?
"What do you think of me? It would be very convenient to leave this kind of thing to me."
Yukari Yakumo volunteered to lie down next to Shen Gonglin. Since her combat strength hadn't recovered, she couldn't help Shen Gonglin much in other matters, except for things requiring intelligence. After some time learning and reading, Yukari Yakumo roughly understood Shen Gonglin and the others' current situation. She had only recently taken over Schicksal, and although the high-end combat power of Schicksal and the support of Anti-Entropy made her position as bishop very stable, there were inevitably some discordant voices. Simply suppressing them wasn't the most appropriate way to handle it; someone needed to deal with these people.
Clearly, that person was himself.
"Sister Purple, you?"
Shen Gonglin looked at Yukari Yakumo beside her with considerable surprise. When did she get so close? But that wasn't important. Yukari Yakumo had actually offered to take on these troublesome tasks. It wasn't that Shen Gonglin didn't trust her; although she had no memories of her past, her instincts told Shen Gonglin that this woman was completely trustworthy, and it was she who wanted to do these things...
"Of course it's me. You don't think I can't even do something like this, do you? Your older sister is Yokai Sage. Unlike some flower fairies who only know how to use violence, my greatest strength is my intelligence. Handling these matters and bringing you a prosperous Schicksal is very simple for me."
Yukari Yakumo confidently straightened her upper body, patted her chest, and showed off to Shen Gonglin. Since she couldn't help in the battle, she would provide the strongest support to Shen Gonglin in other aspects. After being a couch potato for so long, it was time for Yukari Yakumo to have a big battle. This world was more interesting than she had imagined. The Sage was in the mood.
"I have no problem with that, but we need to arrange a suitable position for you, Sister Purple, and we also need Theresa's consent, after all, she is my vice-bishop."
Since Yukari Yakumo wanted to do it, Shen Gonglin was naturally willing to entrust all these troublesome matters to her. However, it wasn't a good idea to make the decision alone; she needed to discuss it with Theresa first.
"Oh, then I'll tell Theresa now what she thinks of the CEO position?"
As she spoke, Yukari Yakumo turned over, opened her phone, and started tapping away on the screen. CEO—this position sounded very good and would be very beneficial to her next move.
She typed her message to Theresa, which shows that Yukari Yakumo's social skills are indeed stronger than Shen Gonglin's. In fact, strictly speaking, Shen Gonglin's social skills are not weak at all, but unfortunately, he only interacts with girls. Moreover, his social approach is slightly off.
"Look, little Theresa agreed!"
As soon as her phone rang, Yukari Yakumo happily held the screen up to Shen Gonglin. It turned out that she really had been texting Theresa. How could she have agreed so quickly?
[If Sister Purple is willing, then go for it! I have faith in you!]
There are also Theresa's exclusive emoticons in the back. Without her knowing, Yukari Yakumo seems to have become familiar with everyone. Even the headmaster calls her Sister Purple. The seniority is completely messed up. Saying that she is unreliable, Shen Gonglin thinks that Theresa is no less capable than herself.
So this is the advantage of being the older sister. Before revealing her true identity, those girls will only see her as a powerful helper and ally, and they will definitely treat her gently. With the wise Yukari Yakumo in control, this development was already in her plan. She just didn't expect that little girl would also have such thoughts. Tsk tsk, she really is a femme fatale.
The term "femme fatale" refers to Shen Gonglin.
"Alright, that's settled. Rin, come give me a hug."
He tossed his phone aside; business was done, now it was time for personal matters. The night was too short to tell, and who knew when Durandal and the others would return? At Schicksal Headquarters, Yukari Yakumo had been staying with them, so he needed to move out quickly, especially since he was now the CEO.
If we don't move out, many things will be inconvenient.
"Give me a hug? Why do I need a hug... Wait, wait a minute, Sister Purple, wait a minute."
How did the topic suddenly turn like this? Shen Gonglin was caught off guard and was suddenly pulled into Yukari Yakumo's arms. The warm and sweet scent filled the surroundings, making him feel a little uncomfortable. He was held in her arms like a block of wood. Shen Gonglin counted the seconds and quickly pushed her away. Why is Sister Purple acting so strangely?
"Alright, I'm going to take a shower now that I've hugged you. Sister Purple, you can watch TV and play by yourself for a while."
Pushing Yukari Yakumo away, Shen Gonglin blushed slightly and ran away. Is this really her older sister? It doesn't seem like it.
"Make sure you wash yourself thoroughly. If you're taking a bath, don't turn on the water later, I need to shower too. Let's be mindful of saving water."
Yukari Yakumo smiled and waved her hand. Teasing her a little was quite fun. Could it be that Shen Gonglin also thought that she only had the identity of being a sister? That would be too naive. The so-called sister was just a disguise. When she revealed her true self, she would definitely surprise everyone!
"Okay, I understand."
Without questioning Yukari Yakumo's request, Shen Gonglin entered Durandal's bathroom and turned on the tap. "Speaking of which, doesn't the Bishop have his own private residence? Durandal and Rita are crammed together here..." The key point was that no one seemed to find it strange. In Schicksal's mind, it seemed perfectly natural for her to stay here. This wasn't right. What would happen to her reputation if she continued to live here? Sitting in the bathtub, Shen Gonglin was filled with worry. After all, her reputation was impeccable. If word got out that she spent the night here, how would she ever find a girlfriend?
Well, this is another form of worrying unnecessarily. Just as Shen Gonglin was pondering these random thoughts, a pink light suddenly bloomed on him, and a gem appeared from his chest. This is... Elysia?
As the pink light faded, a fairy girl suddenly fell into the bathtub. The two looked at each other, wondering what was going on.
Chapter 250 An Old Woman Tens of Thousands of Years Old
Thump.
With that sound, the Miss Pink Fairy fell into the bathtub. Although there was water in it, the girl still showed a pained expression when she touched the tub. But this pain surprised Elysia even more. Why did she feel pain? And... looking at Shen Gonglin in front of her, the fairy faked it and reached out to cover her chest.
"Ugh, H! Rin is so annoying~"
Her sweet, innocent voice carried no trace of anger; instead, it conveyed a strong sense of coquetry and a joy akin to surviving a catastrophe. Such emotions stirred within the girl's heart. She had thought her story was over, but unexpectedly, in this new era, there was still a ship that could carry her. Truly, Rin was worthy of being called Rin, truly worthy of being called human. He was indeed the greatest variable in this world, even Mei was not as special as him.
Despite saying she hated it, the fairy girl didn't care about their current situation at all. She moved closer to Shen Gonglin, wanting to get close, but Shen Gonglin reached out and pressed her face down. Shen Gonglin still didn't understand what had happened, why Elysia was here, or what was going on.
"Aren't you already dead?"
Shen Gonglin wouldn't admit it, but when he first saw Elysia, he was also filled with joy. However, his tsundere nature kicked in, Shen Gonglin, though he said one thing, did another. Wasn't Elysia supposed to have died back in the Elysian Realm? How did she end up here again? Shen Gonglin needed an explanation.
"Oh? I died... Oh right, I did die when Rin was driven out of the Elysian Realm by Vill-V, but no one believed me. Anyway, a lot happened. We should thank Mei; she brought the story of the thirteen to a perfect end."
The fairy girl revealed a perfect smile. Although the ending Mei brought her was the most perfect conclusion, there were still Elysia things in this perfect story that Alicia wanted to witness personally. In this world, Mei was not the only Herrscher fought for humanity, and all of this was due to her own efforts. Therefore, as the creator, Elysia wanted to see with her own eyes how her "children" were earnestly working hard for humanity, and she could realize all of this through Shen Gonglin.
"...Speak like a human being. In your current posture, I could hang you up and beat you."
It was that familiar riddle-maker speaking again. Shen Gonglin, expressionless, reached out and pinched Elysia's face. Since leaving Elysian Realm Shen Gonglin hadn't been bothered by the riddle-maker for a long time, but now, as soon as Elysia appeared, she felt that familiar feeling again. Speaking of which, was Shen Gonglin kicked out by Vill-V? Shen Gonglin had thought it was due to her constitution, but it seemed that quite a few things had indeed happened since she left Elysian Realm. However, Mei should be alright.
Otherwise, Elysia wouldn't be the way she is now.
"It is the extremely evil Vill-V and the Herrscher of Corruption reached a consensus. In order to achieve their goals, they had no choice but to remove Rin, who was undisturbed and had strong resistance, from the Elysian Realm. I must say that Vill-V is indeed Vill-V. As the world's strongest genius, she even considered such things. A genius among geniuses, a well-deserved genius. Even I have to pay the highest respect to Vill-V here. No matter which link, her efforts are indispensable."
Despite having her cheeks pinched, Elysia could still speak clearly, and her words revealed even more information: the extremely evil Vill-V? Was this another personality of Vill-V? And the Herrscher of Corruption? Herrscher had actually appeared in the Elysian Realm?
"It's Mei, do you remember? When Mei was still exploring Elysian Realm, she once contacted a girl far away in an unknown place through the Herrscher Core in order to help her friend. At that time, Mei was tainted with the Herrscher of Corruption. In the Elysian Realm, a world made of data, the Herrscher of Corruption was as happy as if it had returned home, and then it began to corrupt Elysian Realm. After a great deal of effort, everyone in the Elysian Realm defeated the Herrscher of Corruption and offered Mei the highest blessing. The only pity is that you were not able to be present at the final banquet."
She informed Shen Gonglin of what had happened during this time. As expected of everyone she trusted most, they all completed their tasks in their own ways. Elysia knew from the very first moment she saw Mei and Shen Gonglin that her decision was correct.
She sacrificed herself, using her Herrscher powers for the only time, to bring forth so many Herrscher with humanity who fight for mankind. She truly deserves to be called herself, truly deserves to be called Elysia.
"...It feels like a lot has happened. I can't quite take it all in at once."
Feeling like she understood, yet also feeling like she didn't, Shen Gonglin could sense that Elysia was trying very hard to explain, but due to the information asymmetry, it was indeed a bit difficult for Shen Gonglin to understand immediately.
"It's okay, I can tell you slowly. Although you didn't attend the banquet, there's still the second half. I've already told Mei the story of the thirteen Flame-Chasers. Now I want to tell you, I want you to remember all the things about those thirteen people. They are things worth remembering. Once you know their past, you will definitely like them too."
Elysia turned over in the bathtub and comfortably leaned against Shen Gonglin. She couldn't resist taking a bath, though it was a little uncomfortable being dressed. The girl tilted her head back and rested on Shen Gonglin's shoulder. Elysia wanted to rest.
"These things can be explained slowly. First, tell me why you are here. Aren't you an old woman from tens of thousands of years ago? Why are you now... truly present before my eyes?"
Shen Gonglin reached out and squeezed Elysia's arm. It was soft, warm, and elastic. This was definitely not something that could be made up of data. This was different from the feeling of the Elysian Realm. The Elysia in front of her was undoubtedly real.
When Shen Gonglin said those words, not only Elysia felt a pang of pain, but Fu Hua, who was far away at the Salt Lake Base, also felt a shiver. Even Yukari Yakumo, who was rolling around in the bedroom, suddenly trembled. Shen Gonglin had easily hurt three women with just one sentence. He was truly worthy of the title.
Chapter 251
Old woman?
How could he say such cold words from a mouth that's over 30 degrees Celsius? Elysia turned around and looked at Shen Gonglin in disbelief. The girl, who was incredulous, could only shrink into the bathtub, trying to warm her heart with the warm water. Rin really doesn't understand. Is it appropriate for a girl of that age to speak like that?
"Rin, you're wrong. I died back then, so my age should have been frozen at that time. I'm still a beautiful teenage girl now. Even you can't say such things. This is the only time, or I'll get angry... But it seems that Hua has lived on until now. She's an old woman through and through. I'm a little looking forward to seeing her. What kind of expression will the calm and reliable Hua have? I'm really looking forward to it!"
Elysia was very serious in correcting Shen Gonglin's question. It concerned a girl's age, and such things couldn't be said carelessly. Elysia also took a jab at Fu Hua. There were multiple Herrscher Core in Shen Gonglin's body, and the Herrscher Core was undoubtedly born in Hua's body. In order for the Herrscher Core to be born in Shen Gonglin's body, it was undoubtedly necessary to have the corresponding Herrscher merge with him spiritually, just like herself.
"The original me was already dead. Even in the Elysian Realm, I was just a piece of data. Now, the data in the Elysian Realm has disappeared, but I have crossed time and space to be reborn here. All of this is because of you."
Elysia turned and gently tapped Shen Gonglin's chest. The pink core glowed faintly through his skin. It was through this Herrscher of the Human core, which had been generated within Shen Gonglin's body, that she had been reborn in this world. As the first Herrscher, the first core, she was now resurrected within Shen Gonglin's body. Even Elysia, as the Herrscher of the Human, did not know the specific reason. However, based on the information she obtained from Mei, the fact that the core could appear within Shen Gonglin's body meant that she was undoubtedly one of his closest people...
Indeed, it is one of them. Elysia had already seen it when the cores awakened: the Herrscher of the Void, the Herrscher of Reason, the Herrscher of Thunder, the Herrscher of Flames, and the Herrscher of Consciousness. These cores were rotating and shining like star rings within Shen Gonglin's body. Now, with the addition of the Herrscher of the Human's core, Shen Gonglin has finally transitioned from a four-core driven system to a five-core new era.
"... If you want to live here, you have to pay rent."
What has become of my body now? So many things! Shen Gonglin feels like she's a spider's nest. Besides the Herrscher of Reason and Herrscher of Thunder Core, each core now houses a person. I can't let them get away with this; they all have to pay rent. The Queen helps me with spatial teleportation, and Little Herrscher of Consciousness keeps me company late at night, playing all sorts of games with me. Unlike the Class President's rigid approach, she knows a lot more tricks. As for Teacher Himeko, she's busy modifying her Honkai energy adaptability within her core all day, but Elysia —she has to pay rent.
"Okay, I can give you anything I have and anything I can do. But, speaking of which... as the first Herrscher, the one who made it possible for the Herrscher of this era to transform into humans, in a way, I am the mother of all Herrscher. Little Rin, are you sure you want to charge me rent? You're such a naughty child."
Elysia was spouting nonsense, Shen Gonglin already understood. She just wanted to avoid paying. What mother? What kind of logic was that? Besides, even if she was the mother of Herrscher, what did it have to do with him? He was the Archbishop of Schicksal, leading the world's largest organization against the Honkai. And now there was an incarnation of the Honkai right in front of him. Without a doubt, he should be punished immediately.
"Ugh! Hey, stop, stop joking... I haven't finished talking yet, really, I'm serious... Hahahaha! Stop, stop pinching me, I'll really get a stitch..."
Thanks to the efforts of Herrscher Slayer, the Shen Gonglin of Herrschers, the Honkai incarnation was quickly routed. The girl lay panting by the bathtub. The place was too small and not suitable for her ranged attacks as an archer. That's why she was at a disadvantage this time. She would definitely get her revenge next time. Elysia was not so easy to defeat.
"By the way, since Elysian Realm has ended... then what about the others, I mean Pardofelis, Sakura, and the others... have they all disappeared?"
Kicked the limp Elysia to the side; the girl was still quite heavy on her. Shen Gonglin thought of the others. Elysia could be resurrected here through the core of the Herrscher of the Human, but what about the others? How were they doing now?
"As I said before, Elysian Realm is where they store their data. The real people disappeared after that banquet, at the end of the last era. Our story has ended, but your story is unfolding. I want to see if you can get a different ending than us in your story... You can definitely do it, right?"
Elysia turned back and smiled, a hint of nostalgic sadness in the fairy girl's expression. The new era had no ship to carry them, but as pioneers, they were prepared to pave the way for their successors. Everyone in the Elysian Realm had already proven this. The mortal heroes Pardofelis, Chakravartin, Aponia, Eden, Sakura... they all did what they were supposed to do. The story of those thirteen people is worth remembering by everyone.
What she needs to do now is to tell these stories to everyone in this era. Although they have passed away, the story of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers should be widely spread. Elysia wants everyone to remember them.
"Ah, this seems a bit difficult, I don't have confidence."
Shen Gonglin, leaning over the bathtub, said, "This kind of behavior of wanting to entrust everything to others is just too unfair. Even as the Archbishop of Schicksal, I can't do that alone. Who is this guy trying to manipulate?"
"Huh? You shouldn't respond like that at a time like this. You should confidently promise me, 'Let's do it again, Rin, let's do it again. I'll scrub your back, okay? If it's you, you can definitely do it easily, okay?"
Elysia picked up the towel next to her in a flattering manner. It seemed that ordinary tricks were useless against Shen Gonglin Mei, even though Mei was so easy to fool.
Chapter 252 S-Class Ordinary Person
It feels like I've suddenly been exposed to a lot of strange things. I guess you can't truly understand these things without experiencing them firsthand. But now I can get some news too. Mei should have returned from the Elysian Realm. Should we bring her back next? Come to think of it, it seems like it's been a long time since they've fought as a whole. I kind of miss it.
While drying her hair, Shen Gonglin emerged from the bathroom. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that they hadn't been able to reunite since the Wendy incident. Back then, Wendy fought three Herrscher single-handedly, but now... it's just a matter of each new version having its own god. Suddenly, she had a feeling that a storm was brewing. Elysia didn't know where the Stigmata Plan was at. Was it just a matter of passive defense? If you asked Shen Gonglin, it would be better to gather all their forces and directly attack the World Serpent's lair. But they couldn't put the cart before the horse, since their real enemy shouldn't be Kevin, but the Honkai.
However, Elysia didn't know what the God of Honkai meant. Could it be that the concept of the God of Honkai Honkai n't exist in the previous era? Then who exactly did Otto make a deal with? Could he have been tricked?
How miserable.
"Finally finished washing? It's my turn now, so don't try to take it from me."
After coming out, Shen Gonglin realized that Yukari Yakumo wasn't alone in the room. Durandal and Rita had also returned at some point. Yukari Yakumo had been chatting with the two of them, but after seeing that Shen Gonglin had finished showering, she excitedly ran into the bathroom. She had to be second in line, otherwise what would happen if the two of them showered first? Yukari Yakumo didn't want to drink their bathwater.
"You're back. How did things go? Anna shouldn't be crying anymore, right?"
Tossing the towel aside, Shen Gonglin greeted them with practiced ease. After the previous meeting, Shen Gonglin returned with Yukari Yakumo, leaving everything else to Durandal and Rita. Her previous blunders seemed to have made Anna cry, so the aftermath could only be handled by Durandal and Rita.
"Make it clear... Lady Rin just misunderstood her as an enemy. Now that the Schicksal leadership has completed its integration, you can rest assured that no one will try anything underhanded."
Although Shen Gonglin's previous actions gave many people the wrong impression, thanks to Durandal and Rita's efforts to turn the tide, Schicksal's current structure is still quite complete. It can be said that the bishop's authority has been re-established, and he has control over all of Schicksal's high-end combat power and Valkyrie forces. Shen Gonglin cannot possibly lose no matter what. This is clear from Durandal and Rita's perspective. Even with the Apocalypse family involved, they still want to bring Theresa out to take charge... Sigh, does he really not understand their relationship?
"That's good. Rita, I've always trusted you with your work. By the way, as I told you before, don't focus all your attention on the World Serpent. The Stigmata Plan should be aimed at all of humanity. How's the investigation on that?"
After praising the maid briefly, Shen Gonglin recalled the incident. After talking with Elysia, Shen Gonglin felt that their focus might have been slightly off. Perhaps they shouldn't just focus on the movements of the World Serpent, but also pay attention to ordinary people around the world. After all, the Stigmata Plan is aimed at all of humanity. Whether it was the decoy carried out by Jackal or the modified version of the true Stigmata Plan carried out by Kevin, the target was all of humanity.
"This is exactly what I'm about to say. Under Rin-sama's guidance, I mobilized all the branches of Schicksal to conduct an investigation, and we did discover some abnormal things. Within the world, an unknown number of people have fallen into a mysterious slumber. Their mental index is stable, but they just can't wake up. This is just the recorded report. Based on the probability, there should be many more people like this."
Rita straightened her face and took out the report. The investigation couldn't prove anything yet, but she had a feeling that all of this was related to the World Serpent's Stigmata Plan. Had the Stigmata Plan already begun?
"Sleeping... It's possible that his consciousness has already been absorbed into the Stigmata Space. Rita, keep an eye on this and continue to investigate. No matter what, this Stigmata Plan must be stopped."
Shen Gonglin also considered the possibility of World Serpent's involvement. Raven and Gray Serpent had gone on a mission, the specifics of which even she herself didn't know. However, according to her speculation, it might be a subsidiary branch of the Stigmata Plan. She said she would be notified of any progress, which was the advantage of being a spy. She just didn't know how Raven would notify her.
Text message? I don't think so, that would be a bit low-class.
"I understand. I will go to the scene of the incident tomorrow to conduct an investigation."
The maid nodded in response. Although she had thrown a little tantrum earlier, she was very serious when it came to important matters. Seeing the maid like this, Shen Gonglin opened her mouth but didn't say the spoilsport. "Rita, it's good that you're confident, but don't be too confident. Several previous missions have proven that Rita is very likely to fail. On the surface, she seems to have a clear mind and think things through, but in reality, she is just reckless when carrying out missions. In the current world, a mere S-rank Valkyrie seems a bit inadequate."
However, such words cannot be said. Even if Shen Gonglin lacks emotional intelligence, she knows that she absolutely cannot say them. Rita was already being sarcastic today, and if she were to say anything more hurtful, she might actually cry. Shen Gonglin still has some conscience today.
"Okay, just be careful in everything. Take the Immortal Blade squad with you to investigate. Contact me if anything happens, or Durandal if you really can't. Also, if you encounter anyone from the World Serpent, just say my name... If it's Raven, she should give you that favor. If you encounter a trap, don't blindly rush in. If you see any strange buttons, don't press them. Don't eat or drink anything given to you by strangers... Do you understand?"
Shen Gonglin muttered to himself, he couldn't discourage Rita's enthusiasm, but he was really worried about Rita, so he could only focus on these things. He even told Rita about the spies he had left in World Serpent, he was just too worried about Rita, she was always making mistakes.
Rita was speechless, while Durandal couldn't help but laugh. It was such a hilarious scene.
