Chapter 181
Although the Onmyoji organization declined Freya's invitation, they still entrusted the administrator of the Asian Branch to give her a scanned copy of the compiled documents.
Among them are relics that Freya is somewhat interested in, which are said to be related to the Emperor Xuanyuan.
The document records that the sword of the Emperor Xuanyuan possessed incredible power, and the ruins also contain the Emperor Xuanyuan's real name - Ji Lin.
In the distant past, on the land of Shenzhou, humankind lived in tribal communities, and civilization gradually began to take shape.
One of the clans, the You Xiong Clan, possessed an ancient artifact called the Xuanyuan Sword.
Legend has it that this divine weapon was bestowed upon humankind by ancient gods to ward off evil and protect humanity.
The Xuanyuan Sword is undoubtedly the Tenth Divine Key.
The Tenth Divine Key is very special. Unlike the other Divine Key, there are a thousand of them, although the power of a single Tenth Divine Key is inferior to that of the Divine Key.
However, the Tenth Divine Key can harness the power of multiple Divine Key.
The two Tenth Divine Key Schicksal unearthed from a certain ruin possess the power to control the earth and the wind, respectively. The Valkyrie Cheng Lixue of the destroyed Snow Wolf Squad also possessed a weapon called "Ruoshui" that manipulated water flow, which was also Tenth Divine Key.
In the legend of the Emperor Xuanyuan, she wielded a golden sword and could summon wind and rain, thunderbolts, and meteors. Although it sounds exaggerated, it was indeed the power of the Tenth Divine Key. Perhaps the Tenth Divine Key possessed by the Emperor Xuanyuan was stronger than the other Tenth Divine Key.
It can only be said that there are still too many mysteries surrounding the Divine Key that have not been solved.
Of the Tenth Divine Key kept by Schicksal, only two are intact and one is damaged, making it difficult to determine the specific condition of the Tenth Divine Key.
Freya gained a lot from this trip to Shenzhou, but she still had some regrets.
She was very curious about the Immortal Red Kite the Onmyoji organization revered as their supreme leader.
Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, it was the Immortal Red Kite who stopped the invasion of the Schicksal, and it was also the Immortal Red Kite who protected the peace and stability of the Shenzhou from the invasion of the Honkai Beast.
Although some people in Shenzhou still have the custom of worshipping the Immortal Red Kite, no other legends related to the Immortal Red Kite can be found on the land of Shenzhou. It is said that the Immortal Red Kite perished together with demons from beyond the borders hundreds of years ago.
Of course, there are many other explanations.
Legend has it that Crimson Heron achieved perfect skill and ascended to immortality.
Freya was confused by this.
Even more bizarrely, the documents provided by the Onmyoji organization also contained speculation that the disciple of the Immortal Red Kite had murdered his master.
"What a pity... If only we could find the Immortal Red Kite."
The origins of the Immortal Red Kite are very complicated, but Freya is able to deduce some of them.
According to legends in Shenzhou, the Immortal Red Kite enlightened the people of Shenzhou land and taught them methods to fight against demons.
This means teaching ordinary people how to fight Honkai Beast, and after learning it, they become what are known as Onmyoji.
The Immortal Red Kite was clearly a person from Previous Civilization.
Moreover, it bears the responsibility of imparting knowledge to modern civilization.
Freya had no questions about why the Immortal Red Kite could live for so long.
Kevin Kaslana, the founder of the Kaslana Family, is not alive and well; he is said to be trapped in some special space.
There shouldn't be any problem with her, the Immortal Red Kite, living to this day.
Unfortunately, hundreds of years ago, Mount Tai Xu, where the Immortal Red Kite lived, was reduced to ruins, and there has been no news of the Immortal Red Kite since.
But!
Yes, but here's a "but"!
And please welcome the MVP of the war between Schicksal and the World Serpent, Jackal.
As one of the highest-ranking officials of the World Serpent, Jackal would naturally be interested in providing clues about Freya.
For example, World Serpent collected archives about the activities of the Immortal Red Kite in human history and analyzed her influence on the culture of specific regions.
The Immortal Red Kite was indeed a warrior from the Previous Civilization fighting against the Honkai, just like Kevin.
Its name is Hua.
However, the other party disappeared again after the Second Eruption War.
The World Serpent's collection of information about the Immortal Red Kite's movements ends here.
However, the clues provided by the Jackal also proved that the Immortal Red Kite was not dead.
That's good news.
In any case, the Previous Civilization was definitely more experienced than the current civilization in fight against Honkai.
Freya naturally longed for the help of the Immortal Red Kite.
At least compared to Kevin, who wanted to cause trouble and form the World Serpent, the Immortal Red Kite, who Shenzhou the land of China for hundreds of years and appeared as a guardian, was more worthy of her trust.
To put it bluntly, the actions of the World Serpent Organization are nothing short of accomplices to the Honkai of the organization.
But what the heck is Fu Ermos?
Is the Immortal Red Kite also a detective?
I hope people won't die wherever I go.
The movement patterns collected from World Serpent are quite interesting, among which the Immortal Red Kite became a famous figure in history.
However, since the other party is not dead and is still missing, Freya doesn't mind using Schicksal's intelligence agency to search for them.
However, this matter cannot be rushed. She was unsure whether the Immortal Red Kite would be offended by her searching for her.
When the Schicksal Headquarters passed over the land of Shenzhou, it did indeed arouse the amazement of the people.
After all, the sight of the Floating Island passing overhead, their dark mass creating a sense of intimidation, could easily cause panic without a meeting with the leaders of Shenzhou.
When a headquarters with the function of a war fortress flew over the country, conspiracy theories flooded the internet.
Freya knew that the conspiracy theories on the internet were definitely people deliberately spreading rumors. Even though she was now the ruler of Schicksal, the wealth and scientific and technological capabilities that Schicksal possessed were still the envy of many.
If Freya hadn't already shown her strength and ended a global war in less than ten days, the Schicksal, having lost Otto, would probably have gradually declined.
If the Schicksal shows weakness, it will be besieged by various countries.
Therefore, Jackal is still the MVP.
At a time when Schicksal most needed a war to prove its strength, she instigated a global war.
Freya felt she had been too harsh on the Jackal.
This guy is a real hero.
If the Schicksal were to truly establish a nation, Jackal would certainly be considered a founding father.
She provided Schicksal with Schicksal to prove its strength, top-notch scientific research technology in the fields of medicine and biology, and tarnished the reputation of World Serpent and Shencheng Medicine for Schicksal's sake... and then pushed World Serpent to an abyss of no return.
If Kiana hadn't become the acting leader of World Serpent, Freya felt that if she continued fighting, she would eventually be able to kill World Serpent outright.
Do you think she's just the MVP of the war between Schicksal and World Serpent?
No, she is almost the greatest contributor to the development of Schicksal to its current state.
Freya felt like she was about to turn into Jackal and start bragging.
Therefore, she fully understands that if Kiana takes the Jackal away and sacrifices Jackal in front of the World Serpent members, even if Kevin escapes and returns to World Serpent, he will find it difficult to compete with Kiana in terms of prestige.
After all, for the members of World Serpent, Kiana is their acting leader who has gone through thick and thin with them and has dealt with the traitors in World Serpent. Kevin, on the other hand, is mostly a figure of faith created because Gray Serpent has praised him so much. As long as Kiana does not betray them, they will mostly tend to obey Kiana.
In fact, the worst thing for Kevin was that World Serpent was crippled by Schicksal.
But when the World Serpent needed Kevin the most, Kevin was still trapped somewhere, unable to provide the World Serpent members with a sense of security, nor could he make them continue to believe in the myths woven by the Gray Serpent.
Unfortunately, Kiana had no intention of killing the Jackal.
This caused her reputation to rise very slowly.
However, after she became the acting leader of the World Serpent, Freya intentionally stopped attacking the World Serpent, which could be considered as creating merit for Kiana.
The establishment of the Ice-bound Serpent organization gave the World Serpent, who could only hide in the shelter, a new opportunity to communicate with the outside world.
Freya suddenly felt happy, so she rewarded the Jackal with a lot of snacks.
I also installed a treadmill in her room.
She didn't want this great contributor to die from obesity; more importantly, her value would increase over time.
Moreover, she herself is a top-notch researcher, Freya herself intends to switch to a research career, so naturally she wouldn't let go of Jackal's talent.
Freya had no intention of letting her die a haphazard death, at least until she had truly squeezed all the value out of her.
After two days of movement, the Schicksal Headquarters was no longer over Shenzhou and was only a few hours away from the Far East.
In fact, after the departure of the Schicksal Headquarters, the leadership of Shenzhou also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it takes unimaginable courage to allow a mobile fortress with dozens of Honkai Energy Reactor, plus a dozen Giant Floating Battleship, hundreds of standard-class Floating Battleship, and countless Escort Ships to pass overhead.
Even though the agreement was signed a month ago, it's impossible not to feel uneasy given the current state of the Schicksal Headquarters.
As a major power, Shenzhou has a defense agreement with Schicksal. Unless the Asian Branch on the mainland cannot withstand the pressure, only three standard-class Floating Battleship are generally allowed to remain in the country.
In any case, the two thrilling days are over.
This applies to both Shenzhou and Schicksal.
205. Tsk tsk, as expected of Welt.
To be honest, Freya offered several scientific and technological advancements in exchange for Shenzhou's permission for the Schicksal Headquarters to fly overhead.
It should be understood that no major power would allow another country's military forces to pass overhead.
Even if the Schicksal did not establish a nation, its mobile fortress with dozens of Honkai Energy Reactor, plus a dozen Giant Floating Battleship, hundreds of standard-class Floating Battleship, and countless Escort Ships, was enough to launch a massive war.
"We've finally arrived..."
Freya, standing on the top floor of the central building of the Asgard Floating Island, looks down at the far east beyond her view through the huge windows.
It was only one day away from Welt and Tesla's wedding day.
Freya breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that she arrived the day before their wedding day.
"It seems we have plenty of time."
Freya couldn't help but sigh.
Since she switched to a research career, she has found that she never has enough time.
So much so that even her recent act of venting stress by beating up a monster three times stronger than usual required her to focus on studying...
After changing into the Acting Grand Bishop's formal attire, Freya planned to set off ahead of everyone else.
"Rita, get ready and let's go."
The maid who was tidying Freya's clothes was slightly taken aback, then lowered her head and said.
"Yes, Kiana..."
"After the battle of Nagoya City is over, I will tell you a secret."
Freya naturally decided to let her trusted maid know some of her secrets, just like Welt did.
Given that Liv was Bishop Otto's spy, Freya wasn't without the idea of testing Rita.
But in just six months, Rita did prove herself.
In fact, she had noticed some things. It must be said that Rita's senses were very sharp, and she was naturally suited to managing an intelligence agency. However, she would choose to remain silent when she learned things she shouldn't know.
"Yes--"
Rita was naturally in a very good mood.
Then he poked Freya's cheek and burst out laughing.
When the two are alone, Rita does not become subservient to Freya despite her growing authority, which is partly due to Freya's demands but also partly due to Rita's nature.
Similarly, Freya made the same request of Liv, but Liv, as a maid, took it too seriously, insisting that there should be a clear hierarchy between master and servant.
However, Rita's primary job is as her adjutant, and the Maid Dress is just a hobby for her. Liv naturally can't ask Rita to do that, since she's not a real maid.
Just like Laguna is the captain of the Assault Team and often wears Maid Dress, but it's just a hobby of hers.
When Freya left with Rita, she also informed Theresa, but as she had expected, her Theresa overslept.
When Freya left the Schicksal Headquarters, she did not take the Floating Battleship, but a smaller but faster Escort Ship.
The Escort Ship, several meters long, entered the Far East border at an astonishing speed, naturally receiving a notification from the Far East Defense Force and entering Level 2 alert.
