A Beautiful Dream Spanning Ten Thousand Years

In other words, this Kiana Kaslana is a member of the Schicksal Kaslana family.

Moreover, judging from her snow-white hair and sky-blue eyes that are as clear as the sky, Kiana's bloodline purity is quite high.

In short, the other party is undoubtedly an elite member of the Schicksal.

As for the fact that Kiana is Siegfried's daughter, this is not something that can be easily investigated.

"Huh? Then I'll go kill her right now!"

In an instant, Xing understood the situation, and black light emerged from her hand.

She didn't understand Kaslana or anything like that, but she knew that all the bastards in Schicksal were enemies.

Bang!

Bronya subdued the girl with a single kidney punch, followed by a grappling move that completely restrained Anzu before continuing, "The captain said that Kiana is our friend."

She didn't know what secrets Kiana had, but she trusted Shi Hen's judgment.

And so far, Kiana has indeed not shown any hostility.

Even after our chance encounter last night.

Bronya didn't believe that the Kaslana family's elite would be unable to discern such a clumsy lie.

It must be said that the girl who was once the Ural Silver Wolf was indeed a smart person, and she never judged things by appearances alone.

But if Shi Hen Henyi were here, he would only tell Bronya, "Don't overthink things."

You might think Kiana is on the fifth floor, but she could very well have gone into the basement.

This white-haired girl simply wants to protect its secret.

As long as the secret of the Honkai can be kept and the nascent improvement in their daily lives can be prevented from being ruined, she is willing to accept any explanation that seems outrageous.

"What the hell does that bastard mean?!"

Hearing Bronya's explanation, Xing shouted even louder, attracting the attention of many people in the corridor with her captured posture.

Seeing this, Bronya had no choice but to release the other person.

She didn't want her and others' campus life to be ruined because of this, even though she didn't particularly like Senba Academy.

But Seele doesn't seem to dislike these peaceful yet somewhat noisy days.

"You'll understand later, or you can ask the captain when he gets back," Bronya said, her tone stern. "In any case, you can't make a move until Kiana takes further action."

It was precisely because Xing was impulsive that she was unwilling to tell the other party this part of the truth.

Otherwise, it would be easier to uncover the secrets hidden within the academy if the three of them investigated together.

Last night's alarm from the Honkai Energy detector indicated that Senba Academy is not as simple as it seems.

"Tch! I don't need to..." She pouted, about to say something harsh, but when her gaze met the girl's oppressive eyes, Xing hesitated for a moment and then chose to follow her heart, "Fine, I understand."

She didn't want to keep getting beaten up.

That punch to the kidneys earlier still hurts.

Xing silently rubbed her stomach, secretly gritting her teeth.

That bastard Bronya... One day, she'll work hard to become stronger and then pin her down to make her pay for all the bullying she's suffered during this time.

Thinking to herself, the girl snorted and strode back to the classroom with an air of indifference.

"Sister Bronya, Kiana... Is Captain Kiana really okay?"

Looking at Xing's retreating figure, Seele asked with some concern.

She had no prejudice against Kiana, who had a Schicksal background, but she was afraid that if this matter were exposed, it would cause trouble for Shi Hen.

Even someone as oblivious as her knew that they should keep their distance from Schicksal.

"Kiana must have some secrets we don't know about."

Bronya spoke softly, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

Shi Hen has never been an impulsive person.

Even if he treats Kiana differently because of his own feelings, he would never expect them to do the same.

Undoubtedly, Shi Hen was certain that his association with Kiana would not cause any trouble for either of them.

However, she has no idea what the reason is for this yet.

Moreover, there was something else that puzzled her— Kiana's performance was not at all like that of an elite Valkyrie.

If this appearance is considered a disguise, then this Kiana is far too terrifying.

But if this is the real Kiana... would the Kaslana family really tolerate this idiot running around everywhere?!

"Really? That's great."

Upon hearing this, Seele breathed a sigh of relief.

She likes Shi Hen and Kiana, and doesn't want her daily life to be ruined by some inexplicable things.

So even though the girl knew in her heart that this was wishful thinking, she still prayed that such peaceful days could last longer.

Chapter 112 Sweet Dream Spanning Ten Thousand Years

So, the world line has been reset again?

Standing at the entrance to Yae Village, looking around at the small village, Shi Hen's face showed obvious contemplation.

Let's continue searching for Yae Sakura; she's the key to this Stigmata Space.

Having made up his mind, the boy strode toward the Yae Shrine.

Having already visited the shrine once before, the second-time player Shi Hen, quickly found it.

After skillfully washing his hands, Shi Hen glanced around at the empty shrine before stepping into the main hall on his own.

Inside the spacious main hall, a brightly colored white fox deity statue stands out prominently on the altar.

This is the fox god that Yae Village has worshipped for generations.

Yae Village is just a small village, but this statue is exquisitely crafted, with every detail perfectly depicted, and it is obviously very valuable.

The fox spirit was believed to be efficacious, so people naturally worshipped it with utmost devotion.

However, Shi Hen scrutinized the clay sculpture for a long time without shifting his gaze, yet he still couldn't sense the slightest Honkai Energy emanating from it.

This is undoubtedly just an ordinary statue, only the workmanship is a bit more exquisite.

The so-called fox god is nothing more than a god in the hearts of the Yae Village.

"I've never seen you in the village before. Are you from out of town?"

A voice suddenly rang out.

Shi Hen looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, thin man, about thirty years old, emerge from behind the hall.

Yes, it's the Shrine Master with whom he shared a life-and-death bond in the previous reincarnation.

"My name is Hen. I am a scholar who has traveled from the other side of the continent to this place. I have met Your Excellency the Shrine Master Lord."

Nodding slightly, Shi Hen spoke in a gentle voice.

As a qualified Schicksal Knight, one should know how to conceal oneself when encountering unexpected situations.

"A traveling scholar?" Upon hearing the boy's words, the Shrine Master's face revealed a half-smile. "Since you are a scholar, then stay here for the time being."

A grand event will soon be held in the village; you are welcome to attend and enjoy it.

"I'm sorry to bother you."

Shi Hen nodded.

Since the Herrscher of Erosion also wants him to stay, it saves him the trouble of finding an excuse.

"Please follow me, sir."

Nodding in satisfaction, the Shrine Master led the boy toward the shrine's back courtyard.

Glancing at a katana placed in the main hall, although the blade was hidden in its sheath and not visible, Shi Hen could still tell from the shape of the hilt that it was Demon Blade.

No matter how the timeline is reset, the madness and sin stained on this sword have not diminished in the slightest.

Having understood, Shi Hen followed in the footsteps of the Shrine Master.

The Shrine Master led Shi Hen to the room where he had stayed in the previous cycle of reincarnation and said, "Please stay here for the time being, Lord Shihen. If you have any needs, you can ask someone in the shrine to let us know. I will take my leave now."

According to the script, the sacrificial ceremony will begin in a few days, and he, as the Shrine Master, has no shortage of duties.

"Please make yourself at my disposal, Your Shrine Master."

Shi Hen nodded slightly, naturally having no objection to this.

The play involving the Corruptor Herrscher still needs some time to prepare, and naturally, there are some things he needs to verify.

After seeing off the Shrine Master, Shi Hen continued to stroll around the back courtyard.

"It's spring again. Does everyone love cherry blossoms this much?"

Looking up at a cherry blossom tree in full bloom, gazing at the pink blossoms like clouds and rosy dawn above, Shi Hen couldn't help but sigh.

In the previous cycle, he met Yae Rin's ghost here.

But now... looking at the empty space under the tree, the boy pondered and stroked his chin.

The grand event mentioned by the Shrine Master should be the rain-seeking ceremony in which Yae Rin was sacrificed.

It was because of her sister's death that Yae Sakura was left with an unhealable void in her heart. After being corrupted by the Herrscher of Erosion brought by Kallen who had fled here, the series of events that followed occurred.

This is a tragedy belonging to a young girl, and also a tragedy belonging to the times and the world.

As he was thinking, Shi Hen's gaze suddenly caught sight of a slender, small figure with cherry-blossom hair behind a tree.

Yae Rin?

No, it's Yae Sakura in her juvenile form!

With a slight smile, Shi Hen walked towards the girl. "Miss Yae."

As the boy approached, the girl's face showed a mixture of confusion and fear, but a glimmer of clarity flashed in her eyes.

"Sir Knight, you should not have stepped into this place."

Looking up slightly at the boy, Yae Sakura sighed and said, a sadness on her young face that seemed out of place for her age.

"But I promised someone that no matter the cost, I would free you from this cycle." Crouching down, Shi Hen looked directly into the girl's purple eyes and said earnestly, "If the Saintess Maiden were here, she would surely agree with my choice."

Only by never forgetting the Saintess's teachings can Yae Sakura's spirit be stimulated to the greatest extent.

If even the other party chooses to give up, then the boy's operation will be very troublesome.

"Kallen..."

As expected, Yae Sakura's eyes flickered with emotion upon hearing the name.

But soon, the black mist in her pupils vanished instantly, replaced by confusion and helplessness that once again occupied her surface consciousness.

At this moment, Yae Sakura seemed to have completely transformed into a little girl who matched her appearance.

"Who are you..."

The girl involuntarily took a half step back, her eyes filled with wariness as she looked at the boy.

Did the Herrscher of Erosion make a move?

Looking at Yae Sakura, whose mind was restricted, Shi Hen made a guess in his heart.

The other party's authority in this Stigmata Space is truly astonishing.

With a sigh in his heart, Shi Hen smiled gently and extended a hand to the girl, "My name is Hen, and I am a traveling scholar from afar."

Miss Yae, I've heard about your sister.

In my hometown, people usually make a special food to pray for the health of the sick.

How about we give it a try together?

Based on some of the plants he saw along the way, he was able to make something quite unique.
