Chapter 207
"Mentor, I remember back then, many people were professing their love to you."
Tesla was confused.
Unlike Einstein, whose appearance had become completely fixed, Planck was in his prime at that time.
How could I not have met the right person?
From wealthy businessmen to British gentlemen, to princes of some country and handsome heirs of tycoons, Planck could choose whomever he pleased.
"..."
Planck raised his left eyebrow slightly.
She felt that Tesla deserved to be taught a lesson.
"Decades have passed, and you really haven't grown at all. Those people who expressed their love for me did so only because I am the de facto leader of the Anti-Entropy organization."
To be honest, it's really not easy for the Anti-Entropy organization to have grown from its original team to what it is today.
If the difficulty of Welt and Tesla coming together can be considered a unit, then Planck leading the former Schicksal North American Branch to its current state is a unit of difficulty.
Planck also felt that it would be easier for the two of them to be together than for her to develop the Anti-Entropy organization to its current state. Yet, despite developing the Anti-Entropy organization to this point, the two of them still hadn't gotten together.
Why?!
"They not only covet my body, but also our organization and our money."
Planck replied with a smile, naturally not revealing the real reason to Tesla.
During those most difficult and arduous years of Anti-Entropy, someone always had to step forward and bear the burden.
Is that so?
Tesla, as a pure researcher, is a typical example of someone who becomes endearingly naive when he is deeply immersed in his work.
Planck looked at Tesla tilting his head and looking confused, and suddenly laughed.
For her, just being able to see Tesla like this was enough to prove that the efforts of the veterans, led by her, were worthwhile.
Unfortunately, less than 10% of the original members witnessed Welt and Tesla's work.
Most of them perished on this path. After all, developing under the pressure of the Schicksal was no easy task. Since its inception, the Anti-Entropy Organization had experienced numerous conflicts, large and small, with the Schicksal, which also caused the Anti-Entropy to lose many important allies.
"I really wish they could see this too."
"Tutor..."
"Lord Planck..."
"Tutor."
Upon hearing Planck's remark, Welt and the others fell silent.
The fact that the two organizations are now working together is something that was completely unimaginable in the past.
This peace was hard-won, but the enemy Honkai still exists. The timing of the Third Great Honkai is still uncertain, and the hiding Otto is also an unstable factor. Will the suppressed World Serpent stir up new waves? Does the appearance of the first Humanoid Honkai Beast signify a new direction for Honkai?
"Tesla, how about we cancel our honeymoon?"
"OK..."
Tesla's answer was equally straightforward, and as a result, in order to stop the two from canceling their honeymoon, Ryoma and Siegfried practically beat Welt up.
238. I feel a bit out of place.
Welt and Tesla's wedding went smoothly.
Although the important guests at the wedding were momentarily startled by Otto's sudden appearance, Otto thankfully made a calm entrance and then left just as calmly.
The following day, Welt, who had grown up considerably, and Tesla prepared to go to Hawaii for their honeymoon.
The relocation of important facilities at the Schicksal Headquarters also began after Welt and Tesla left.
Freya and Ryoma plan to launch the Schicksal Headquarters into geostationary orbit.
Originally, after exploring the moon, Anti-Entropy and Schicksal discovered that the ruins on the far side of the moon were too dangerous and beyond their ability to handle, so they chose to block related information.
This is also one of the few important events in which Anti-Entropy and Schicksal have reached a consensus.
However, after the Second Eruption War, the exploration of lunar ruins became an urgent project.
However, the Second Eruption War a huge impact on the economies of various countries, and the economic systems of many countries collapsed as a result.
With the economies of various countries still in the recovery phase, it's even more difficult to vigorously develop aviation technology under these circumstances.
If the goal is simply to build Schicksal into a space castle, then some unnecessary facilities need to be moved from it.
Such as the Valkyrie's residential area and training facilities, including the A-rank Valkyrie's private residence, which will also be moved to the ground.
The Schicksal has always treated Valkyrie very well, especially after Valkyrie reach Rank A, when they gain various privileges.
The Schicksal will also allocate land for them on the Floating Island to build independent residences, which will be preserved even after they die in battle.
For example, Cecilia and Theresa both have their own detached houses.
Since most of the A-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal sacrificed themselves in the Second Eruption War, their relics and the remaining traces of their homes are of great promotional value.
Freya had no intention of directly demolishing the A-rank Valkyrie's residence.
Although the purpose of the Schicksal in retaining these residences was simply to strengthen the new Valkyrie' sense of belonging to the Schicksal.
However, for the Valkyrie who sacrificed themselves in the Second Eruption War, a house containing their belongings might be a more suitable way to commemorate them than a cold grave.
To avoid damaging the house during the relocation process, Ryoma has already led the construction team to conduct simulation tests.
Since this matter is mainly handled by Ryoma, and Welt and Tesla are on their honeymoon, Freya doesn't want to make headlines during this period, so she and Theresa will have a lot of free time.
At this moment, inside a traditional Shenzhou house with a courtyard—
Freya flipped through the calligraphy copybook of Cheng Lixue, A-rank Valkyrie Cheng Lixue.
After wandering around Cecilia's house, which lacked any sense of life, she arrived at the room of the Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie -A-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal.
"... I see, so that's how it is."
In this room, Freya also saw Cheng Lixue's photo.
Among the 13th batch of new students, there was a little girl named Fu Lixue who looked just like Cheng Lixue when she was a child and had a recommendation from the Asian Branch.
Just as Freya had predicted, the 13th batch of new recruits included a large number of special clones created by Otto.
Furthermore, there are different ways to St. Freya Elementary School.
Some entered through Aristocratic Faction channels, some through formal examinations, and some through internal promotion routes.
"What the bishop does is really annoying..."
Although the clones provided by Otto all possess extremely high Honkai Energy adaptability, it can be said that once the 13th generation of new recruits grow up, they will definitely be able to become the backbone of the organization. However, this approach is too easy to arouse disgust.
"Fortunately, none of the mother's clones were mixed in among the newborns."
Of course, if Otto actually did that.
Freya will definitely disregard everything and fight Otto right there at the wedding venue.
However, Otto was well aware of Freya's personality.
This kind of behavior, which would absolutely disgust everyone, would actually not cross Freya's bottom line. Under his influence, Freya is a thorough pragmatist.
Of the more than 130 new students, only half are normal.
"... Tsk, what a bastard."
Freya didn't know whether she was cursing herself or Bishop Otto at that moment.
While clones of great people may not necessarily become great themselves, those with talent are indeed more likely to grow than those who are mediocre.
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration, but that one percent inspiration is the most important, even more important than the ninety-nine percent perspiration.
I apologize to those who work tirelessly.
But people are not born equal.
Skin color, physique, race, family background, and other innate differences can also have an impact on later life.
Freya admitted that she had a crush on the 13th class of freshmen.
Just as she was quietly supporting Otto's experiments, Otto was also quietly supporting her decision.
I ask you.
What consequences would occur if the pace of civilization's development were accelerated?
Since Honkai is highly linked to civilization.
Therefore, accelerating the development of civilization will inevitably lead to a faster Honkai.
In Freya's hypothesis, the Honkai was already a highly advanced Honkai Civilization, but this civilization was excessively arrogant, and its unified consciousness was like that of a god.
When faced with a developing civilization, confront it with a corresponding enemy.
This enemy is not much more advanced than our civilization.
Therefore, the only way to defeat the Honkai is to develop modern civilization to the same level as the Honkai Civilization, while simultaneously blocking the Honkai Civilization's attacks time and time again.
Alternatively, they could find another way to enter a higher dimension and defeat the 'Honkai Consciousness' in that space.
Freya chose the first option.
But she doesn't simply block the Honkai's attacks; instead, she seeks ways to coexist with the Honkai, developing modern civilization into one that coexists with Honkai.
"The first people we need to win over are the survivors of the Previous Civilization. Hello, my chef, or rather, the guardian of the land of Shenzhou — the Immortal Red Kite."
With the help of the super MVP Jackal and the intelligence provided by Kiana, the acting leader of the World Serpent, Freya easily obtained information about the other party.
Freya had been reading the Soul Steel brought back from the Previous Civilization during the Second Eruption War Final Battle the Anti-Entropy Organization, and she had been thinking that her cook looked familiar.
From Jackal and Kiana, she learned that they were warriors from the Previous Civilization fighting against the Honkai, just like Kevin.
"... The Immortal Red Kite?"
A beautiful woman with gray hair and blue eyes appeared outside the house, speaking with a puzzled tone.
Upon entering Cheng Lixue's residence, she gazed with nostalgia at all the furnishings in the Shenzhou- style house.
"I'm sorry, Your Acting Grand Bishop, I have no memory of that."
"What?" Freya's mouth dropped open; the other party's reaction was completely unexpected.
It wasn't even part of Freya's plan at all.
Because her Great Ancestor had some neurotic tendencies, Freya felt that the warriors who fought against the Honkai in the Previous Civilization must all have mental problems, and she was mentally prepared to have a long negotiation with them.
"What does it mean to have no memory?!"
For Freya, this was the worst possible reaction.
This is because it means her plan could very well fail, which is crucial for cooperation between the current and Previous Era.
Compared to her unreliable Great Ancestor, Freya has a much better impression of the guardian deity who Shenzhou.
If the Immortal Red Kite has no understanding of the Previous Civilization, where can she find a starting point for cooperating with Previous Civilization?
In fact, rather than digging up ruins all over the world, obtaining the locations of important ruins from the warriors who fought against the Honkai of the Previous Civilization is the simplest way to inherit the scientific and technological achievements of the Previous Civilization.
In fact, digging for relics all over the world does not guarantee that the relics discovered after spending a lot of time and money will contain useful technology.
"I regret to inform you, Your Acting Grand Bishop ... Although I came to the Schicksal at the invitation of Miss Laguna, before being guided by her, I was searching for my memories. I was invited by the Grand Bishop of Schicksal, who told me that I was once Valkyrie of Schicksal ... and this is the residence of my disciple."
"..."
It's that bastard again!!
Freya was so angry she almost wanted to pin Otto to the ground and beat him.
Freya did not sense any deception from this beautiful woman with gray hair and blue eyes.
In fact, the warriors who fought against the Honkai from the Previous Civilization had no reason to lie to her.
"So, you really have no memories of the Previous Civilization?"
"Yes, not only do I lack memories of the Previous Civilization, but I also have no memories left from before the Second Eruption War... I have been searching for my memories. I have searched for the legends of the Immortal Red Kite, but I don't think I am such a great person."
Although very few people know about the Immortal Red Kite now, as long as you make an effort to search, you can still find related legends throughout Shenzhou land.
Even the beautiful woman with gray hair and blue eyes managed to buy a figurine of the Immortal Red Kite.
