The Sonatas of Thunder and Flame; the White-Haired Dumpling Finally Learns Everything
Faced with the wary gazes of the two girls, Durandal couldn't help but show a helpless expression.
But thinking of the mission she bore, Durandal sighed softly and then asked, "Which of you is willing to join the World Serpent?"
Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Sonata of Thunder and Flame – The white-haired girl Finally Knows Everything
"Are you here to make a joke, Durandal?"
Mei sneered mercilessly as the Seven Thunders of Sin's Purge in her hand glowed with a hazy purple light.
The World Serpent Organization—is that a place normal people would go?
After only a few months in World Serpent, Durandal has completely abandoned her Valkyrie in the Anti-Honkai, and is now wholeheartedly devoted to serving [Welt White]?
Looking at the former strongest Valkyrie, clad in white armor and exuding an aura of purity like Saintess, Mei's eyes revealed deep disgust.
"If you want to fight, just come at us! We're not afraid of you!"
With a sharp shout, Kiana summoned a silver pistol and a crimson longsword from her hands.
For Herrscher, the appearance of a weapon is irrelevant; what matters most is the power it embodies.
Therefore, after fully mastering the power of the Plague Gem, Kiana chose to shape her weapon into the form of the flying sword that the boy once used.
"No, you've misunderstood, actually..."
Seeing the two Herrscher who looked ready to fight her to the death, Durandal hurriedly explained, her mind involuntarily recalling what had happened before she set off.
"Go to Changkong City to recruit a Herrscher?"
Looking at the Gray Serpent in front of her, Durandal blinked, somewhat bewildered.
Do these World Serpent have some kind of misunderstanding about the reputation of their organization?
Do they really think anyone would want to work for World Serpent?
Even when Welt White tricked her into coming here, he knew to use all sorts of tricks.
Upon realizing this, Durandal's heart sank.
"Is Bai up to something again?!"
He asked in a deep voice, Durandal's expression quickly turned serious.
Thinking about it carefully, she realized that it had been a while since she had seen [Welt White] at the base.
Even though the other party doesn't appear at the base very often, and it's common for him to be nowhere to be seen for many days in a row, when combined with this mission... Durandal is certain that the guy is definitely plotting something in secret again.
After all, the other party had even borrowed her holy sword, Durandal.
"This task should have been completed by White Dove, but he overestimated himself and went to challenge the Lord."
Upon hearing the girl's question, Gray Serpent immediately sneered.
"Bai... he lost?"
Having discerned the outcome of the battle from Gray Serpent's attitude, Durandal asked incredulously.
Even though she had been exploring the Elysian Realm for some time, after seeing the Asura form of [Welt White], she found it hard to imagine that there could be power beyond that.
"A shadow is just a shadow after all; he will eventually pay the price for his overstepping his bounds."
The Gray Serpent spoke coldly.
"Bai, how is he?"
Quickly calming down, Durandal asked in a deep voice.
Throughout history, the transfer of power has been incredibly cruel.
For example, someone who forcibly usurped the position of Anti-Entropy Leader reduced his predecessor to just one core.
Thinking of this, Durandal couldn't help but sigh.
Even she had to admit that Welt White was indeed not a good person, and he acted quite arbitrarily, seemingly without any bottom line or principles.
Such a villain will eventually be defeated by people who believe in justice, right?
But whenever she thought of similar scenarios, the girl felt a dull ache in her heart, as if something was blocking her.
Clearly, she was one of the people who most wanted to defeat [Welt White].
"..."
With some surprise, Gray Serpent glanced at the worried golden-haired girl and sneered, "He's not dead."
In any case, the power of the White Dove is also an important asset to the organization.
Moreover, His Majesty has the ability to suppress any dissent.
Suppression...
That's clearly not a nice word, is it?
As Kaslana, are these guys only capable of using violence?
While inwardly complaining, Durandal asked with an unchanged expression, "You just said you went to challenge Kevin for nothing. Has Kevin returned to reality yet?"
As she spoke, Durandal's voice couldn't help but betray a hint of nervousness.
Having explored the Elysian Realm for a long time, she was well aware of the heavy price humanity would have to pay for Kevin's Stigmata Project.
"Of course. Recruiting Herrscher is precisely the will of the Lord."
The Gray Serpent answered without hesitation.
"Hmm..."
After a moment of deep thought with a slight frown, Durandal asked in a deep voice, "Why does Kevin need Herrscher?"
In terms of combat power alone, the World Serpent already has her and [Welt White], plus Kevin, whose strength is even above [Welt White], so its position is unshakeable.
Even if they are Herrscher, unless the Herrscher that are born later can exceed 10,000 HW in terms of power, they will not be able to cause much of a stir.
"His Lordship has his own considerations, which is not something you should inquire about."
Faced with the girl's question, the Gray Serpent's response was extremely cold.
Durandal: "..."
Is it because she doesn't communicate with the Gray Serpent enough? Why does this guy's speaking style feel so similar to the riddle people in the Elysian Realm?
However, if it weren't for considerations of combat strength, then the reason Kevin needs Herrscher...
Subconsciously, Durandal wanted to slack off during the mission.
Even after joining the World Serpent, the girl still had no intention of harming innocent people.
"If you're thinking about how to make the mission fail, I suggest you save your energy."
The World Serpent needs a Herrscher; this is the will of the Lord.
As if seeing through Durandal's thoughts, Gray Serpent said coldly, "And if you fail to bring back a Herrscher for World Serpent, then the next one to act will be White Dove."
"Hmm..."
Upon hearing this, Durandal frowned instantly. "I will bring the Herrscher back."
As she spoke in a deep voice, the girl's expression was extremely serious.
Knowing Welt White's style of doing things, she absolutely did not want him to get involved in this matter.
Otherwise, who knows how many more innocent people would lose their lives because of [Welt White].
Even though he pays more attention to those who become or are qualified to become Herrscher, for the vast majority of ordinary people, [Welt White] never cares about their lives or deaths.
Even for those who have already become Herrscher, [Welt White]'s level of concern might not be that high.
Thinking of Raiden Mei and Wendy, who had once been on the verge of death, Durandal's mood became even heavier.
"That would be best."
The Gray Serpent nodded slightly and said, "You carry the bloodline of the Lord, so I hope you will not bring shame upon the Lord, Golden Penguin!"
"..."
There was a distinct pause, Durandal's eyebrows twitched wildly. "How do you know this name!?"
Isn't this something Welt White used to fool her?
"Isn't this the cadre code name you submitted yourself?"
The Gray Serpent asked in return, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Durandal: "..."
Who the hell would use such a name as a pseudonym?!
Moreover, no one had ever told her about applying for cadre code names, right?
She's been at World Serpent for three months and hasn't even received a single penny of salary!
"That bastard!!"
Unable to hold back her clenched fists, even if Durandal used the Phoenix Incinerator to think, she could understand which acting lord was behind this.
I'll beat that guy up sooner or later!
Not daring to look at Gray Serpent's glowing red electronic prosthetic eye, Durandal turned away in shame and anger and headed towards the base exit.
Let's go back to the present.
"In fact, Bai has already failed. The current ruler of the World Serpent is Kevin Kaslana, the strongest human from the Previous Era."
Durandal sighed and explained.
"[Welt White] that bastard is dead?"
Mei couldn't help but ask, her expression a mixture of surprise and delight.
Durandal: "..."
Just how much do you want that guy to die?
Knowing perfectly well the feud between Mei and [Welt White], Durandal explained earnestly, "He didn't die; he simply failed in his challenge against Kevin."
Upon hearing this, Mei's face immediately showed obvious disappointment.
"So what? We're not going to a place like the World Serpent!"
Kiana's attitude was resolute.
Due to a series of actions by a certain villainous boss, the girl had absolutely no liking for World Serpent.
Even if she heard that the other side's leader had changed, she didn't think that the place would become any better.
"What if we disagree?"
Mei asked in a serious tone.
"Then I'll have no choice but to resort to force."
"I must take one of you with me today, no matter what."
Durandal shook her head and said.
She had to try to prevent Welt White from getting involved in this matter.
"Is this how the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal behaves? She really hasn't changed at all?"
Upon hearing this, Mei immediately sneered, "Ah, sorry, I almost forgot that you have already left Schicksal and bowed down to someone like [Welt White]."
Hearing Mei's undisguised sarcasm, Durandal's expression only darkened slightly, without any anger showing on her face.
She's long past the age where she gets angry over things like this.
Moreover, what Mei said wasn't entirely wrong.
"Kevin's style of doing things is different from Bai's. What he needs is a Herrscher who can be used by the World Serpent."
Furthermore, I swear to you, I will do everything in my power to ensure your safety in the World Serpent.
