Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

"What kind of surprise is this? We're not even prepared at all!" Theresa held her head in her hands, a look of despair on her face. "There's only one day. How can we prepare a gift for you?"

"No wonder you got up so early to chop wood. So you were planning to leave." Karel also had a bitter look on his face, but then a smug expression returned to his face. "But luckily, I had anticipated this, so I had already prepared the gifts!"

"Wait for me, I'll get you the gift!"

After saying that, Karel turned and ran towards his room.

Michael, who had been silent the whole time, also raised his hand and said sheepishly to Theresa, "Well... I also prepared a gift in advance."

Then Michael also went to his room.

"Oh, by the way, I also prepared a gift for little Kainuo." The priest rubbed his chin with his hand and said with a smile.

"Wow, wow, so I'm the only one who hasn't prepared anything?!" Theresa squatted down with her head in her hands, a painful expression on her face.

"Well... don't be too sad, Tanya isn't prepared either?" Kayno looked at Theresa and pointed subtly at Tanya who was sitting on a chair and waving to him happily.

This kid probably hasn't figured out the situation yet.

"You make me even more sad when you say that!"

Theresa was almost crying.

"Here, here, Keno, here's the wooden sword I made myself!"

Karel ran out of the room, holding a two-handed sword made of wood in his hand.

"Hey, I don't know what you mean by 'Kaslana must use two guns', but the priest said Kaslana is a knight family, so giving you a greatsword is the right thing to do!"

"Ah, and mine too. This is a badge I carved myself."

Michael also came over and handed a badge to Keno.

The emblem depicts a large sword with wings-like features spread out on either side.

Kaino's expression was subtle.

This was Kaslana's family crest, the image of the liberated Holy Fire Judge... Of course, Michael probably didn't know that she gave him this crest because there was a sign hanging on the wall of the orphanage, wanting him to always remember the orphanage.

"Then, I'll give this to you, Keno." Theresa also stood up from the ground at this time, and handed over a cross with a chain from her pocket with a distressed look on her face. "This is a pendant that the priest gave me before... Now I give it to you."

"Okay, I'll accept it then."

Keno accepted the gifts from the three people, put the cross necklace around his neck, pinned the badge on his clothes, and then threw the wooden sword into the imaginary space.

"This is a gift from me for you," the priest said, smiling as he pulled out a box from under the table. "Although you're already very strong, it's better to have a weapon handy when you go out. Open it and take a look."

Kaino opened the box curiously, then his face froze slightly.

Inside the box was a pair of red and gold pistols - weapons exactly like the one Siegfried had shown Kaino many times when he was a child.

The Key of God? The Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire.

Chapter 11 Li Sushang

Looking at another caravan that left without caring about him, Keno sighed silently.

This is already the fifth team.

Using his ability to manipulate space, Keno traveled madly and arrived at the desert in less than a day.

Because the priest said that the immortal's former residence had been burned down, Kaino, who wanted to find the immortal, had no plans to go to the immortal's former residence to find out what was going on.

- Although Keno felt a little resistant because the priest looked exactly like someone, he would also admit that both the priest and the destined archbishop were extremely intelligent people.

If Theresa in the orphanage had not been so clever, Keno might have suggested that appearance determines a person's intelligence.

In short, since the priest specifically mentioned that the immortal's former residence had been burned down and that they should look for the immortal, Kainuo had the idea of ​​searching the entire Shenzhou bit by bit starting from the desert where he landed.

…Then Keno stumbled.

When he encountered the first caravan and wanted to inquire about the news of the Red Kite Immortal and get a ride with them, Kainuo truly realized how painful it was to not speak the language.

Fortunately, the Herrscher's power gave Kayno an unparalleled ability to learn and imitate. So, Kayno repeatedly intercepted caravans in the desert and tried to communicate with them in a friendly manner, trying to learn the Chinese language. After the caravans left, he would follow their route.

Finally, after three days and annoying the fourth caravan, the good news was that Kainuo had finally mastered the Shenzhou dialect - although his pronunciation was not quite standard, it was indeed the Shenzhou dialect.

And the bad news...Kai Nuo has run out of food he placed in the imaginary space. Although he can choose to go back to the orphanage to get more food when he gets too hungry...

But Kainuo always felt that if he did that, he would lose in some aspects, and lose badly.

So, with a glimmer of hope, Keno waited for the fifth caravan.

Then I truly understood how true the saying "without money you can't move forward" is.

Kainuo squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, in pain but without tears.

There was no other way. As the eldest son of Kaslana, he could just swipe Siegfried's card to buy anything in Tianming - or even swipe his face. In that case, the retired Valkyrie selling the items would give him some extra things.

After arriving at the orphanage, although Kayno often went out with the priest to clean out the dead soldiers, Honkai beasts and some people who had gone astray, Kayno never bought anything. The priest was responsible for purchasing the goods.

The management of the orphanage's account books is also the responsibility of the eldest child, Theresa, while Kayno is only responsible for chopping wood and occasionally cleaning.

And then... the moon d*yi ya another fin is chess ixv5 锛...

"Haha, is this the reason why I was locked up here?"

The brown-haired girl squatting on the ground burst out laughing and kept laughing at Kaino who was also squatting on the ground in front of her.

"Because you were completely broke, you snuck onto a caravan. After being intercepted by the Jinsha Gang, you simply followed them and ended up in this dark cell... all just to get a meal? Are all you Luosha people so weird?"

"Besides, if you just sell this strange thing to the caravan, they will take you with them."

The girl said as she poked the night light that Kaino had placed beside her.

"I didn't expect that. And eating... doesn't make you shiver."

Communicating with the other party in the Shenzhou dialect he learned from the caravan, Kainuo looked up at the girl opposite him.

"I'm done, so how did you get locked up here?"

The girl was dressed in a white dress with a yellow outer layer and a purple cape draped behind her. She was definitely pretty, but unfortunately, there were faint traces of blood on both cheeks.

Her long brown hair was tied into two ponytails with a yellow ribbon. Although the yellow dress almost covered her upper body, it only exposed her chest, which was trembling with laughter.

Looks shivering.

Looking at the girl's face, which was about the same age as his, and the front armor that didn't seem to suit her age, Keno once again felt sad for his aunt.

"Hey, where are you looking?"

Noticing Kaino's gaze, the girl frowned and stepped back a little.

"Also, 'boy' is only used to address men in Shenzhou dialect. The corresponding word for women should be 'yatou'."

"So why did you deliberately expose that part... But thanks, I learned a new word."

Kaino nodded and continued to ask questions.

"So how did you end up here, girl? Also, my name is Kaino."

"Kai... Nuo? You Rakshasa people all have such strange names. I'd better just call you Rakshasa. By the way, my name is Li Sushang."

"As for the clothes, they were knitted for me by my master."

"Then you really have a good master."

Kaino blinked, then smiled.

"Of course, Master is very good to me!"

The girl named Li Sushang nodded and began to describe her fantastical journey of being captured. "As for me? My master asked me to defeat Eagle, the leader of the Jinsha Gang, as my first sword test target. However, Eagle has over a hundred subordinates, and he might not accept my challenge..."

"and many more."

Interrupting Li Suchang's words, Kainuo frowned and immediately took a big step back. "What kind of evil ways are you and your master using? Why are you going against the government of Shenzhou?"

"Eh?"

Li Suchang was stunned for a moment, then slowly understood what Kainuo meant, and then looked at Kainuo with a hint of disbelief.

"What on earth did you learn from those caravans? The Jinsha Gang are robbers, committing murder, looting, and other atrocities. Why do you treat them like government officials?"

This time it was Keno's turn to remain silent.

Those caravans always said they were from the Jinsha Gang, and he kept saying that because the merchants who entered the country illegally were worried about being caught by the government.

It's because this desert has no border line.

"You Shenzhou robbers are so arrogant, don't the government do anything about it?"

After a while, Kainuo turned his head and spoke slowly.

"This desert is on the border of Shenzhou. How can we control it?" Li Suchang sighed again. "But I do know why you were brought here... I say, you're not expecting them to give you prisoner food, are you? We are prisoners."

"You go on."

Kainuo sighed, then raised his head and looked at the top of the black cell.

Of course, Kainuo didn't know the regional characteristics of Shenzhou, and Li Suchang had never captured anyone, and their knowledge of the Jinsha Gang was limited to hearsay. Therefore, neither of them knew that even Jinsha Gang prisoners were provided with meals.

It was just that Li Suchang had previously provoked the Eagle a few times outside, which not only resulted in her being slapped twice, but also caused the two of them to lose their meals.

"Exactly. I want to duel with that Eagle one-on-one... But there are more of them. I want a chance to meet Eagle one-on-one before asking him about the duel."

At this point, Li Sushang's face was clearly filled with pride. "Luckily, I was smart and quickly figured out how to sneak into the dungeon and then confront Eagle one-on-one. In the end, I succeeded."

"Then why did you come back after being slapped twice?"

"Uh... this,"

Hearing Kainuo's question, Li Sushang's expression froze, and her eyes darted around. "To appear more convincing, I not only handed over my Xuanyuan Sword, but also took the Qi-Intercepting Powder they gave me... I originally thought it would be useless to me, after all, I cultivate the unique Taixu Sword Qi!"

"But it seems that it's because I haven't practiced my Taixu Sword Qi to the fullest... After I provoked that eagle, I wanted to circulate my Qi but couldn't. As a result, he slapped me twice and locked me up again."

Kaino narrowed his eyes slightly.

Chapter 12 Go to the kitchen to get something to eat

Taixu Sword Qi...

Different?

"Then you are really smart." Kainuo nodded.

Not to mention the so-called Taixu Sword Qi, you just take the medicine when someone asks you to. Just looking at this level of honesty makes Kaslana feel ashamed.

Even Kiana is not so easy to fool.

"Ah, thanks for the compliment... Wait, Rakshasa, are you insulting me?"

Li Suchang was about to nod when she suddenly realized something was wrong and stared at Kainuo with wide eyes.

"Oh? Are you reacting now?"

"I'm not stupid... Wait, what do you mean this time? What did you learn from those caravans?"

Kainuo shrugged and said casually, "I'm not very familiar with your Shenzhou martial arts or things like the Qi-Severing Powder, but what you call martial arts is a way to use Honkai energy, right? Who gave you the confidence to think that your Taixu Sword Qi would be immune?"

"I heard that there's a Red Kite Immortal in your Shenzhou who's very famous even in our country. Since that Qi-cutting powder is designed to target the Collapse Energy, then logically, even that Red Kite Immortal wouldn't be immune, right?"

"Wow, you Rakshasa, if you don't understand anything, stop talking nonsense. I will explain it to you in detail."

Li Suchang frowned and pouted, looking very dissatisfied.

"Let's talk about Taixu Sword Qi first... Taixu Sword Qi is different from ordinary martial arts. It doesn't train the body to hold the upper limit of true Qi. Instead, it allows the body to have no true Qi left at all. After all, if you keep true Qi in the body all the time, there is a risk of going astray."

"Taixu Sword Qi trains a person's speed in absorbing true Qi. When it comes time to fight, practitioners of Taixu Sword Qi can absorb large amounts of true Qi from their surroundings at any time and use them in battle. Jieqi Powder, on the other hand, prevents the body's stored true Qi from being utilized, which is why I said it wouldn't be useful to me."

"Oh, true Qi should be what you call Honkai energy."

"As for the Red Kite Immortal, hehe, the Taixu Sword Qi I practice is the immortal technique she personally passed down. So that Qi-breaking Powder will definitely have no effect on her!"

"Now that I've said this, you should understand why I said Taixu Sword Qi is unique, right? You can also understand to a certain extent how amazing the Red Kite Immortal is, right? Hehehe!"

You've explained it so clearly, how could I not understand? I absolutely understand.

It seems that what the priest said is absolutely right. Although I still don’t know whether this Red Kite Immortal can help me return home, her skills will be of great benefit to me!

Sure enough, the three days in the desert exposed to wind and sun were totally worth it.

"Since your Taixu Sword Qi is so powerful, it seems that you haven't mastered it enough. That Qi-breaking Powder is mainly aimed at the collapse of the body... oh, the true Qi, but it still has an effect on you."

Kainuo nodded and mocked Li Suchang.

"Ahahaha, that's exactly what happened."

Li Suchang laughed twice again and then lowered her head.
