Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

A woman with long wine-red hair sat under the sycamore tree with a smile on her face, her hands dancing gracefully on the luxurious piano in front of her. Waves of melodious and beautiful piano sounds rang out, echoing throughout this beautiful field.

Kainuo sized him up. His claim that she was beautiful was clearly not groundless; her appearance was indeed exceptional.

Her impeccably maintained skin is delicate and smooth, her long, satiny hair cascading behind her in the breeze. Her slender, white hands deftly dance across the piano keys, exuding an unmistakable confidence and pride. The subtle sway of her body-hugging burgundy dress, evoking the alluring prospect of a fine wine, adds a touch of luxury and mystery to its owner.

This look and aura embodied the word "beauty" to its fullest. Although not as stunning as Seele or Bianca, it was enough to captivate anyone who saw her for the first time.

That's what Kayno thinks.

only……

Kaino's eyes moved downwards, and his gaze fell on the other person's clothes, which looked a little strange.

Is it true that Pardo said they both designed their clothes? Why does she dress the most conservatively among the women he's met so far?

Suddenly, the piano music stopped. Eden opened her amber eyes, turned her head and looked at him and Padu with a smile.

"It's been a while, Phyllis. You look as lively and beautiful as ever."

"Ahaha, Sister Eden, please stop insulting me." Padu scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "How can I compare to you in terms of beauty? If you really want to praise me, just give me something substantial!"

"Okay, this glass of wine is my gift to you."

Eden raised the wine glass in his hand and smiled, then turned his gaze to Keno, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"So Kevin, you...ah."

After being stunned for a moment, Eden suddenly laughed.

"I remember now. Ellie mentioned a year ago that she met a friend who looked very similar to Kevin."

Raising the wine glass in his hand, Eden smiled and introduced himself as if reciting a poem.

"Hello, Mr. Kainuo. I am the fourth of the Fire Chasing Heroes—Eden, inscribed with the name of Gold. Of course, I am also a friend of Ellie's."

Eden drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and his smile became even brighter.

"Congratulations on our acquaintance."

Kaino opened his mouth.

"Sister Eden!" Padu suddenly interrupted with wide eyes, "Although it may not be nice for the recipient to say this... but you just said you would give me the wine!"

Chapter 235: Little Trumpet

"Haha, that's not a problem, Phyllis." Eden smiled and raised the bottle of wine next to him and shook it in the air.

"No matter what kind of expensive wine it is, I still have plenty here."

However, even after hearing this, there was no sign of joy on Padu's face.

"I know that. After all, Sister Eden, you are a wealthy person, but this is different." Padu said with drooping ears.

"That's the wine that went into Sister Eden's glass! Even though I don't drink, I can tell it'll fetch a higher price than regular wine!"

“…You.”

Eden was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed. Kayno also looked at Pado beside him with a strange expression.

I think Qi Ershan, you and Xiaozhi must have had a very good chat, right?

"Speaking of which, Keno, why did you come to the paradise this time?"

Eden spun the wine glass in his hand and looked at Keno with a little curiosity.

"If the purpose of the trial is to explore one's own limits, then the company of the Heroes should not be necessary, even if that person is Pado. As long as there is external interference, such a trial will not be recognized by the Heroes."

"Uh, I didn't think that much." Kainuo waved his hand quickly, "I came here mainly to find Alicia."

Before meeting Paddo and Eden, neither Alicia nor Kevin had mentioned to him that the Paradise could be used to train his strength. Kevin persuaded him to go to the Paradise because Mebius knew the secret of his stigmata, while Alicia offered the tale of a previous civilization and a delicious meal.

Of course, the reason why Kainuo chose to go to Alicia instead of Kevin wasn't necessarily because he preferred delicious food. It was just that Kevin outside was telling him riddles and asking him to find the answers himself, and Kevin inside might not tell him anything.

It would be more effective to let Alicia act as a go-between and ask Mebius directly.

"Oh, you're here to see Ellie? I was wondering why. Pado shouldn't get involved in anything involving fighting." Eden nodded.

Eden then tilted his head to the side, looked at the field where only the three of them were, and shook his head.

"You probably came here to look for Ellie, right? I'm sorry to disappoint you. As you can see, Ellie isn't here right now."

This is obvious.

Kainuo gave Padu an inquiring look, and Padu raised the can high and looked at her in surprise.

"Can, Can, why is your nose not working? Sister Ellie is clearly not here!"

"Meow……"

Can-Girl's tail drooped, and his limbs hung listlessly, allowing Paddy to hold him up, as if he had lost his cat life.

"Ah, Phyllis, your cat wasn't wrong about that," Eden said. "In fact, just before you came here, Ellie was drinking with me. The song you heard when you arrived was just the farewell song I played for her."

"Hey, was Sister Ellie still here just now?!" Padu's eyes widened. "Could it be that she ran away in a hurry because she didn't want to see us?"

"Farewell song?" Kainuo was also surprised. "Do you have to play a farewell song when someone leaves here?"

After saying this, Kaino and Pado looked at each other again, as if they were shocked by his imagination.

"It's not like it will be difficult for us to meet in the future. Who would play music when saying goodbye?" Kainuo said as a matter of course.

You know, even Xiaoshi wouldn’t do that!

"Sister Eden is a great artist!" Padu complained. "It's normal to play music when leaving. Besides, everyone in the paradise doesn't see each other very often, so it's normal to feel a little reluctant when leaving!"

Kainuo opened his mouth to refute the other party. Although they had not been together for a long time, Alicia's enthusiasm still left a deep impression on him - not many people would prepare birthday wishes for each other after only meeting once.

But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Paddo, Ellie's long-time comrade, had more say, so he just nodded in the end.

"Well, Paddo, you're right."

In an instant, Padu lost all hope, and the whole cat showed signs of turning black and white.

"Ah, it's over. Sister Ai Li is actually starting to dislike me? As expected, I am still..."

The cacophony of Keno and Padu seemed to give Eden a headache. She watched helplessly as they argued, then finally spoke up to stop them like an old mother who had been fed up.

"...You two, please calm down."

A rather majestic voice came out of Eden's mouth, and Keno and Pado fell silent instantly.

"Different civilizations have different ways of living. It's not a good idea to use your own civilization's customs to judge ours, Mr. Kainuo."

He stared at Keno until his eyes glanced away unnaturally, then Eden moved his gaze to Padu and raised his voice slightly.

"And then, Phyllis—"

"I'm here!"

Like a student being called by the head teacher during class, Padu straightened her back instantly and looked at Eden nervously.

Eden was stunned, and his voice gradually softened.

"Don't be nervous. It's just Ellie, don't you understand? How could she hate someone so much that she would run away?"

"Well, after all, after all..." Paduo's face turned slightly red.

After hesitating for a while, she finally put her hands behind her back and, under Eden's subtle gaze, tremblingly took out two extremely beautiful purple crystal flowers.

"After all, I went to Sister Ai Li's place before going to Sister Snake to buy goods. I thought Sister Ai Li didn't want to talk to me anymore after she found out."

After once again confirming that the other party would definitely become friends with Xiaozhi, Kainuo sighed, looked at Eden and changed the subject.

"So Eden, can you tell me where Alicia went?"

"Ellie, after leaving one friend, she naturally went looking for another." Eden said with a smile, "By now, she should have reached the abyss, right?"

"The deepest place?"

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Kainuo subconsciously looked at the pathfinding assistant Pado who was holding his head beside him.

"Ahhh, Sister Ellie actually went there!" Padu held her head with a look of despair.

"What happened there?" Kainuo was puzzled.

"It's super deep in the paradise!" Padu said. "If you go there, you're likely to run into Brother Jie, who's just woken up and has a bad temper, Sister Ying, who's nice but allergic to cat hair, Ah Mo, who's guarding Grace, Sister Snake, who found something she lost and came looking for me... and the incredibly scary Sister Nia!"

"If she finds out that I took people there, she will definitely pluck out all my hair!" Padu looked desperate.

I agreed to Kainuo's request to help find someone, but my purpose was just to get some silver coins from the trial-takers. I didn't really think about going to the deepest place!

Sister Ai Li clearly hasn’t been there for a long time, why did she go there again today!

"Ah, this." Kainuo scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Well, Phyllis, you don't need to worry about that." Eden smiled and picked up a delicate and small speaker from the side.

"If you're scared, I'll lend you this. Ellie said she bought it from you, so you should know how to use it."

Chapter 236 Line

In the pitch-black and silent darkness, the expressionless nun was kneeling on the ground, her head bowed and her hands clasped together.

She was not praying to a certain god. Having witnessed the end of the world with her own eyes, the Fire Moth no longer believed in the existence of gods. She was not praying for the future of everyone. As someone who could glimpse into fate, she knew that the future could not be changed.

She was just repenting for her mistakes and lamenting her past incompetence.

At the same time, she longed for the variables that were almost impossible to appear again and that she could not see.

"Hey, Aponya, guess which lively and beautiful girl is here to see you?"

Suddenly, a clear and lively voice broke the silence, and at the same time, the darkness that enveloped the area quickly faded away.

As if to welcome the arrival of the beautiful figure, sunlight poured down from the dome, illuminating the holy floating island and revealing the figure of the nun with long light brown hair.

"You're here, Ellie."

Aponia stood up and smiled at the girl walking towards her from a distance. Her voice was as soft as a butterfly's wings, but it was filled with unconcealable joy.

"Uh-huh, of course. Did you miss me?"

Alicia walked towards them with a smile on her face. But when she was a few steps away from Aponia, she suddenly stopped and brought her hands, which had been hidden behind her back, holding something, to Aponia's eyes.

A bottle of red wine and two wine glasses.

"Clang clang! I brought some wine! I managed to get it from Eden!"

"That's great." Aponya smiled, looked around and shook her head, "But... I don't have a table or chairs here."

"So, it would be great to go out and meet everyone." Alicia complained, and before Aponya could respond, she winked playfully, "But, this is just a small matter!"

Alicia tapped the ground twice with her toes, and three pink crystal pillars suddenly rose from the ground, one high and two low, forming a set of tables and chairs.

Without saying anything, she placed the glasses and poured the wine. She handed one of them to Aponya, then quickly clinked her own glass with Aponya's.

"Well, cheers!"

Alicia smiled and drank the wine in her glass in one gulp, and Aponya did the same.

"Mmm, it's really delicious."

Sitting on the crystal pillar, Alicia shook her head left and right, suddenly turned around to look around, and then sighed.

"What a beautiful view, it's a pity that it's usually pitch black." Alicia lay on the table and looked at Aponia with her head tilted.

"My dear Aponya, can you at least turn on the lights? It's always pitch black and I can't see anything. If you stay here for too long, you'll definitely get sick!"

In response, Aponya just shook his head slightly.

"Ellie, you know. Compared to this beautiful and brilliant look now, I'm usually more accustomed to staying in a place like that."

After a pause, Aponya continued, "Besides, this is the seventeenth time you've said this."

"Well, of course I know. I remember clearly every word we said to each person." As she said this, Alicia suddenly looked pitiful.

"Aponia, you're not going to get bored after just seventeen times, are you? I'll be sad if I do!"

"How could that be?" Aponya laughed.

She knew the girl in front of her very well.

No matter how many times she repeats it, the girl is always thinking about the other person; no matter how many times she repeats it, the girl will definitely stop before the other person gets bored.

How could she possibly be tired of such a person?

But what she had said before was indeed the truth. Compared to the light around her, she was more accustomed to the darkness. At least for now, she was not ready to leave that prison.

Then she changed the subject and talked about another thing.
