On this planet, there are few things that Otto wants to know that can be hidden from him. At least the information Angel puts on the surface cannot escape the intelligence network of Schicksal.
"A rare natural stigmata awakener, and she has reached the evaluation index of a B-rank Valkyrie in just two months after contacting Honkai Energy. Is she another genius Valkyrie? In addition, she has been bullied for a long time and is a victim of the Eruption in Nagazora... Hmm, old friend, your disciple is quite interesting."
On a warm afternoon, Otto held a teacup and read Angel's information, suddenly laughing with a touch of mischief.
Raiden Mei is the direct cause of the Nagazora incident, and she has a close relationship with K423. Then Theresa also placed Angel in the same room as Raiden Mei and K423.
The more Otto thought about it, the more he felt that interesting things would happen to this group in the future.
However, his smile soon faded and turned into a slightly concerned expression. "There have been two records of Honkai energy erosion? It seems that fate is particularly cruel to this little genius. So that's why my old friend has made up her mind. She hopes that she can cultivate the Edge of Taixuan to prolong her life?"
Otto couldn't help but take a look at Angel's birth time.
Born in 2000, she is 14 years old this year.
For the Edge of Taixuan, even if you are talented, it is best to cultivate the sword heart from adolescence.
Fourteen is not too early, but not too late. If she is really talented, she might really achieve some results.
Just look at Cheng Lixue, who reached only the first level of the Blade Mantra and became the strongest A-rank Valkyrie. If she were equipped with better Valkyrie armor now, she might not be inferior to Rita. It's a pity that things got out of control during the second eruption, and Otto failed to save her.
He owed Fu Hua a lot and had no chance to make up for it.
Thinking of this, Otto spoke to Amber:
"Prepare a set of equipment for treating erosion disease near Saint Freya. If the Edge of Taixuan cannot be practiced... it's better to give up the path of the Valkyrie and let this girl live."
Otto didn't have any sympathy for Angel, but he didn't want to see Fu Hua lose another disciple. What's more, this time Fu Hua might not be able to forget it, which would become a long-term psychological trauma.
Of course, all this assumes that Angel does not appear in the K423 plan.
...
"A-choo!"
"Delta, what's wrong with you? The weather has changed quickly these past few days. You should keep warm."
In the Oceania branch, Wendy stood up with some difficulty, holding the handrail. After hearing the sneeze, she blinked her beautiful blue-black eyes and whispered to the person next to her, with some concern on her face.
At this time, Wendy was trying to regain the ability to walk through rehabilitation training.
Accompanying her was a beautiful girl with blue hair and red eyes. Her name is Delta. As far as Wendy knows, she is a recently promoted A-rank Valkyrie. It is rumored that she is powerful.
The most important thing is that she is suspected to have some connection with the branch chief and has an extraordinary origin.
However, Wendy does not care about the rumors about her identity. She only knows that Delta is a Valkyrie who will participate in the experiment like her. She is a little curious about the confused but innocent and cute colleague.
Delta touched her nose and looked around. She didn't find anything strange, so she tilted her head blankly and said in a childish and slightly lazy voice:
"It's not because of the weather. Maybe someone is thinking about me? Ah, come to think of it, it may be Wendy who said bad things about me in her heart."
"I won't do that kind of thing, Delta, you are too much!"
"Oh. Then keep moving forward and try to let go of your hand. Don't be afraid. Rehabilitation is shaky."
Delta stood in front and stretched out a white and tender hand with distinct knuckles to Wendy who was holding the railing. Wendy refocused her attention, took a deep breath, and then walked towards Delta step by step, finally tentatively letting go of the handrail.
"Delta... Ah!"
As soon as she let go of the railing, Wendy felt her legs suddenly lose their response, and her body fell forward without warning.
Delta stepped forward in time and supported her body.
"Are you okay, Wendy?"
Wendy did not respond, but just leaned on Delta's soft body.
'It smells so good...'
Wendy had this thought in a trance, and then an unspeakable sadness surged into her heart, and she seemed to see the endless darkness and cold approaching.
"Delta, am I unable to stand up again... Am I already a useless person?"
Wendy's lips trembled, and tears slowly soaked Delta's chest.
If there were only researchers with indifferent and contemptuous attitudes around her, Wendy would instead develop the proud and strong side of her heart and swallow all the pain and tears into her stomach. But Delta was her most recent friend, and the only one who didn't mock her because of the poor progress of the experiment.
In front of Delta, Wendy suddenly couldn't maintain her strength and exposed her fear and unwillingness.
Delta hugged Wendy's head, gently stroked it, and said in a lazy but reassuring voice:
"I don't know. The fusion experiment of the Herrscher Gem is not only done by us but also by the headquarters. Recently, I heard some information that anti-entropy seems to be doing it, but no successful example has been seen so far. The whole world is groping. This is an unfamiliar field. Maybe I will come out of the laboratory in two days, and I will be the same as you. Ah, maybe I will die by then, and you will have to overcome this situation alone!"
"What are you talking about! Okay, okay, it's nothing. As early as the first day of participating in the experiment, I knew that the success rate was very low and anything could happen. At least I'm still alive now, and you will definitely be fine!"
Wendy raised her head, smiled with tears in her eyes, and then wiped her tears. However, she also found that her tears had wet Delta's shirt, and she could see the outline of her white underwear, and even vaguely see the tender but round and cute curves.
Wendy's face suddenly turned red.
"Yes... yes... sorry, let's go back and change clothes!"
Delta seemed to have just realized the situation, lowered her head, blinked her eyes half a beat late, and then said blankly:
"Well, no one else is using the rehabilitation room today, so let's do it."
"No! But, but this is too..."
"It's so troublesome to run back. I'm so tired, and my clothes will be dry when you finish today's rehabilitation."
"Okay."
Wendy scratched her face. Although she didn't agree with Delta's laziness, she didn't say anything else.
In this way, Delta accompanied Wendy to complete the rehabilitation, pushed the wheelchair back to the room, and then walked slowly towards the direction of the branch director's office.
'Report, it has been basically found that the Oceania branch has no effective treatment for erosion. But I hinted to the senior management here and invited Dr. Maki to come over for a discussion. We can investigate again later.'
'Well, I am Cocolia. We have completed your identity patch as much as possible. In addition, with the guarantee of the branch chief under our control, your identity as an illegitimate daughter should not be easily discovered.'
'Wrong, it is not perfect now. The truly perfect file is dead without evidence... Let's find a time to let this branch chief drown or something.'
If it's for Maki, we can just point it out when the time comes. After all, he has a granddaughter who is a Valkyrie. It should not be difficult for him to start researching the serum in advance. Don't use hypnosis and suggestion. After all, we have to go back to the headquarters. If something is found out, it will be over.
'The Gem of Desire has been implanted in Wendy's body. It will take some time to transfer it to our bodies. Be patient, don't rush, and be safe.'
'Otto, he's really hard to deal with.'
Delta walked slowly, suddenly turned back, and glanced at Wendy's door. In theory, a complete Herrscher is more suitable for Angel to seize power, because the power will be more complete, and the cost of using power will be borne by the plundered Herrscher, so Angel can use it as much as she wants. In addition, if the Herrscher of Wind is not Wendy, the Gem of Desire will disappear at the same time as its birth, which means that the power obtained through the gem will only be temporary.
However, let it be.
Anyway, when the new Herrscher of Wind is born, Angel should have accumulated power to a certain extent, and then she can go to take it again. Just treat it as doing good deeds occasionally.
A good little girl, a talented Valkyrie with a promising future, why must she be tortured crazy by the Gem of Desire, right?
