Chapter 304
S: "What?!"
Inside the Fire Moth base, Elysia stamped the document and secretly made an apologetic gesture.
Pardofelis, after thinking about the job of investigating the inner workings of the Fire Moth for a long time, I'm convinced you're the most suitable!
Sue: "So, Pardo is now the Fire Moth's chosen detective."
Su nodded in agreement with Elysia's decision.
Thirteen Flame-Chasers each fulfilled their responsibilities; few were capable of doing this. Cosmo was not good at communicating with people, and Chakravartin was completely incapable of communicating.
As for Sakura... perhaps she's better suited to dealing with the problem itself rather than gathering clues and finding evidence.
After much thought, I realized that only Pardo is truly suited to do this job.
Chapter 495 Who said Otto's Song was a coward?
Sakura: "What does a famous detective do?"
Elysia: "It's about gathering information, investigating which departments are embezzling funds, and whether any heretics have infiltrated them. Any useful information can be collected."
Kevin: "Then only Pardo is truly the most suitable."
As expected, Elysia has a way with things. Why didn't she think of letting Pardofelis use her strengths before?
Developing Pardofelis's fighting spirit and teaching her how to fight against Herrscher ultimately proved futile.
Eden: "Since Elysia and Kevin have both agreed, let's confirm it then."
Pardofelis: "Waaah, I was just mentioning it casually, how did I end up officially starting this job? Why is my life so miserable! crying"
Canned Food: "Meow."
Elysia: "Don't be sad, Pardofelis. This is an extra task, and it's paid for. Of course, if you don't want to..."
Pardofelis: "Wait! Sister Elysia, Sister Eden, I think I'm perfectly capable of being a famous detective!"
You should have said there was a salary!
Sister Eden, you're so generous, and Pardofelis is so capable. Asking for the highest detective salary seems reasonable, doesn't it?
[Q&A begins.]
[Who said that Otto, the Bishop of Schicksal, is a coward hiding behind the Valkyrie?]
[A: Kevin.]
[B: Welt.]
[C: Jackal.]
[D: Raven.]
Otto: "Oh?"
As soon as the new question and answer appeared, Otto couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
This guy's a bit too cocky!
Although he didn't know who it was yet, Otto had already made a mental note of it.
Kevin is a different story; he is the sovereign of the World Serpent, Flame-Chasers of the Previous Era, and is destined to defeat the great man of the Honkai.
Compared to the Flame-Chasers who truly sacrificed everything to pave the way for the future of the world, the Archbishop of Schicksal was indeed a coward hiding behind the Valkyrie.
Selfish, despicable, and unscrupulous in achieving their goals.
Kevin, and all Flame-Chasers, are qualified to make such a assessment of him.
But the remaining three people probably aren't qualified to judge his achievements, are they?
Welt, Jackal, Raven... Of the three, only the leader of Anti-Entropy is worth mentioning, but that's about it.
To call him a coward hiding behind the Valkyrie seems a bit too arrogant, given Anti-Entropy's actions.
Raven: "Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute, Bishop Otto, don't look at me! It really has nothing to do with me. Believe me, I absolutely didn't say that. I swear on my villa island."
At this moment, the Raven's will to survive is extremely strong.
As everyone knows, the Archbishop of Schicksal is no pushover, and the World Serpent has clashed with her quite a bit.
Raven has now resigned from the World Serpent.
She, who neither belonged to the World Serpent nor had a grudge against Schicksal, did not want to be targeted again.
Raiden Mei: "Raven, you're such a coward!"
Both having passed the trials of the Flame-Chasers and qualified to become executives of the World Serpent, Raiden Mei is ashamed to associate with Raven.
Raven: "I'm not like Lady Mei. I have a weak foundation, just a small villa island, and I even resigned from World Serpent. I don't want to get into any trouble right now."
Raiden Mei: "I can tell you're not the kind of person who would dare to openly provoke Otto."
Etc!
Raiden Mei suddenly realized something: didn't her words mean she was the kind of person who dared to provoke Otto?
Thinking back, it seems she had already provoked me a few days ago at the Schicksal Headquarters.
Moreover, their attitude was extremely arrogant.
She single-handedly wiped out nearly 90% of the Valkyrie in the strongest Immortal Blades Squad of Schicksal, leaving only Durandal was absent.
The crucial issue is that, subconsciously, she actually felt that this kind of thing was nothing special.
Raiden Mei was reflecting on her actions. She remembered that she should be a refined young lady from a prominent family, a lady of high society, right?
When did I start becoming so reckless?
Kiana: "If it's not Raven, then it must be Welt, but which Welt is this?"
Otto: "My dear granddaughter, are there many Welt?"
Besides the Anti-Entropy Leader, could someone else have inherited Welt's name and will?
Otto thought of the scientists from the Anti-Entropy, most of whom had split off from Schicksal, so he still remembered them somewhat.
But those researchers don't seem to have inherited Welt's potential.
Theresa: "I'm talking about our St. Freya Academy's benchmark scientist, Teacher Welt, who jumped ship from Anti-Entropy."
Welt: "Um... Bishop Otto, hello, I'm Welt, the history teacher."
Otto: "..."
At this moment, Otto and Welt, though separated by almost half a world, felt as if they were right next to each other.
So it was you, kid!
Without a doubt, Otto would bet that this person is definitely his mortal enemy, the Anti-Entropy Leader, Welt!
No wonder Anti-Entropy has been splitting up but Welt has never appeared; apparently he's been slacking off with Theresa!
If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, Otto would have loved to ask, "Tsk tsk tsk, long time no see, Welt, how have you gotten so shabby?"
Theresa: "Grandpa, do you two know each other?"
The headmaster glanced at the two of them suspiciously, sensing that something was off.
Otto: "I don't know them. I'm not familiar with the people from Anti-Entropy."
Welt: "I have a deep impression of you, Archbishop of Schicksal. Your [glorious deeds] still echo in my ears, like three horses sharing the same trough!"
Welt: "I don't know if you need a new Soulium body. For your safety, Anti-Entropy can forge a new one for you at any time."
Of course, it's for women!
As long as Otto dares to nod, Welt dares to deliver it; it will be delivered to the Schicksal Headquarters tomorrow!
Otto: "Heh, you should worry about your own problems with Anti-Entropy. Radical Faction, Conservative Faction, who's right and who's wrong? Has your leader made up his mind?!"
Otto's words were like a sharp knife piercing Welt's heart, leaving him speechless.
The current era Honkai in severe disarray, with Herrscher arriving one after another, and even revealing truths that the Flame-Chasers had not yet revealed to them.
Anti-Entropy is also swept up in the tide of the times.
They lack the resources of Schicksal and the foundation of the World Serpent. Anti-Entropy a lone sail in a stormy sea, they are uncertain of where to go, and Welt dares not make a decision lightly.
Kiana: "Auntie, don't you think it's really hard to understand what they're saying?"
Theresa: "Actually, I didn't understand either."
Raven: "So, did the Anti-Entropy Leader actually say that?"
If so, confirm it quickly and help clear her name!
Gray Serpent: "Of course not. Anyone who says something like that is most likely Jackal."
Chapter 496 The Herrscher, Schicksal, Nothing More Than This
[Correct answer.]
Raven: "Jackal? That arrogant woman, that's something she would say."
Otto: "So, you're one of the World Serpent."
Raven: "It's her, a woman who's gone mad with her desire to study the Honkai, though she does have some abilities. If you want to cause trouble for her, I'll wholeheartedly support you."
In the past, the Raven might have cared more about the Jackal's feelings.
But now that she's separated from World Serpent and Jackal isn't in the Chat Group, Raven is just hoping Otto will teach that arrogant woman a lesson.
Otto: "It seems she's not very popular among you guys either."
Raven: "I see."
Gray Serpent: "Unfortunately, Archbishop of Schicksal, for the current World Serpent, Jackal is a rare and valuable cadre."
Mobius: "How important is it?"
Gray Serpent: "Of course, compared to you, she is merely one of the many fools who has managed to glimpse your footsteps—a truly mad one."
The Jackal's experiments were inhumane, and all she got in return was the development of drugs that helped the Stigmata adapt.
But this is already a remarkable achievement, a field that many scientists cannot reach in their entire lives.
[Congratulations to Gray Serpent for receiving the reward: Death Immunity Medallion.]
[Description: This can offset one system penalty upon use.]
Otto: "Oh? There are such props?"
Durandal: "Indeed, it's very rare to see it. To date, it has only appeared three times in total."
Bronya's was used up by Raven later got one but never used it. In the end, it was the one that Gray Serpent had.
Kiana: "So, Raven, you really are a coward. The system has punished you so many times, and you've actually endured it all."
Raven: "Nonsense! What if the island gets blown up again if I don't keep it?"
Raven rarely answers questions, let alone uses his get-out-of- Raven -Death Immunity Medallion, for fear of accidentally using up his trump card.
Gray Serpent: "Taking a step back may allow you to be content with your lot, but you'll lose your edge. How can you succeed without trying?"
Raven: "It's easy for you to say that when you're not the one suffering the consequences."
When his island is destroyed, Gray Serpent won't care at all; he might even be secretly delighted.
Having lost the island, she had no choice but to return to the World Serpent as a mercenary to earn money and do hard labor for them.
Raven snorted coldly. Gray Serpent's wishful thinking was perfectly executed; she wasn't going to fall for it!
[In the scene, at the Shencheng Pharmaceuticals Base, Raven walks silently through the cold laboratory and then opens a communication with the Jackal.]
"How's it going? Shencheng Pharmaceuticals' secrets have been exposed, and time is running out for the experiments."
Behind the screen, the Jackal removes half of his mask, revealing half of his profile.
"I've already committed all my manpower to the operation. I'm not Magician; I can't conjure up magic tricks. The Valkyrie of Schicksal left me with a mess, slowing us down, but that's not the key issue."
Raven shook its still trembling arm.
Before Rita fled, she ordered the warship to ram into Shencheng Pharmaceuticals, which destroyed the entire industrial park and even affected the Raven in the shadows.
