Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

"It's all the same, all the same." Qi Bao waved her hand, signaling Siegfried not to care too much.

"..."

"Xilinlin~Are you in Ganshenmo?" At this moment, Kiana suddenly spoke.

"Um... I..." Xilin secretly used her power to transfer a little bit of the 'Water of Life' to her spoon and prepared to drink it secretly, but she almost dropped the spoon when Kiana shouted.

"Could it be... addicted?" Kiana poked Xilin's cheek and said, "Just a little bit just now, and you're addicted?"

If you think about it carefully, as a Belarusian, Xilin is, to various extents, what many people often call a "Maozi", and the inherent impression is that he is "someone who can drink a lot".

The little bit of wine just now might have awakened Xilin's talent!

"How is that possible?" Xilin shook her head quickly. "I just thought the first bite tasted a bit strange, so I wanted to try it again."

Mainly because when taking the first sip, Xilin felt that the wine was a little sweet and then very spicy... This strange feeling made Xilin feel a little novel.

Of course, she didn't think the wine was delicious, she just wanted to try it again.

"Oh~ I'm not blaming you, I mean why don't you just take it?" Kiana raised her eyebrows and asked. "You don't think you are still a 'little girl who is not old enough to drink'?"

As an adult, if Xilin wants to drink, she can just take it directly. Why does she have to use her power in a sneaky way?

"Ah..." Xilin blinked. She really seemed to...lack the awareness of an adult.

B.114 Kaslana

"Siegfried Kaslana, you have lost the qualifications to awaken, and there is no point in continuing the challenge." The white-haired man folded his arms across his chest, his blue eyes without any emotion.

"No, I must master this power!" Siegfried, who was once again 'easily' defeated by the man in front of him, put his fists on the ground and tried to get up.

"...It's meaningless." As everyone knows, the most abundant member of the Kaslana family is the Husky.

But the man's cold and indifferent look was completely different from Kaslana's preconceived impression.

He is the [Will of Kaslana's Stigma], accepting the challenge of every Kaslana who has the opportunity to awaken the stigma.

However, to this day no Kaslana has successfully passed his trial.

In fact, Kaslana's awakening trial is different from what Kiana complained about before. The trials of Kaslana and Shaniyat are no different.

Both are "stage rewards", but the difference is that the power of [Shaniat] is "contradictory", coordinated and relative to each other, dangerous and safe. As long as there are no too special circumstances, the power of [Shaniat] is stable.

Kaslana is different. Her power comes from the Brahma Beasts that Kevin carries. In other words, it is the power of "artificial collapse".

The "stage-by-stage reward" is to stimulate the Honkai factor in Kaslana's bloodline... and the result is that most Kaslana cannot withstand this power and go berserk.

Among them, Siegfried is one of the few Kaslana who still maintains his self under the baptism of the gradually activated Honkai beast factor, so Kaslana does not want him to continue to challenge, and the current strength is enough.

"This is not meaningless." Siegfried knew that his challenge had failed this time, and he admitted his failure, but only for 'this time'. "Five minutes and thirty-seven seconds."

Siegfried suddenly said a number.

"Compared to the first time I met you, when I was defeated in less than thirty seconds, I get stronger every time I fight you."

"..." [Kaslana] looked at Siegfried and was silent for a moment.

Indeed, Siegfried was getting stronger with every battle he had with him, and five minutes and thirty-seven seconds was like hundreds of rounds of fighting for them.

"But, it's meaningless." [Kaslana] lowered her eyes.

Siegfried's combat experience is accumulating, but as the [Kaslana Stigma], he records every Kaslana.

Therefore, no matter how Siegfried improves, his combat experience is the sum of all Kaslanas, including the Herrscher of the Fire.

"Such behavior will only damage your soul," Kaslana advised.

If it was an ordinary Kaslana, after the first awakening failed, her soul would be worn out, and the result of the soul being worn out would be that the power contained in Kaslana's body would run wild.

Eventually, Kaslana will be forced to seal the runaway Kaslana until she dies.

But Siegfried is very different. His soul is extremely tough, to an incredible degree...even surpassing that of Kaslana who was almost awakened.

Although she failed in the end, she did use some of Kaslana's power and did not go berserk.

"You should be able to feel the changes in yourself." Kaslana would not refuse to fight, but she did not want to continue fighting with Siegfried.

A tough soul does not mean that it will not be damaged. If Siegfried continues to challenge Kaslana, the power in his body will continue to be activated. At the same time, due to repeated challenges, his soul will continue to be depleted, and one day he will go berserk because of the Honkai beast factor.

"Then tell me the truth." Siegfried, who had recovered a little, propped himself up and sat up, revealing a somewhat rogue expression. "Tell me the truth you know."

There are actually two reasons why he keeps challenging the [Stigmata Space]. In addition to needing this power, he also needs another "truth".

"..."He was silent.

The records of the stigmata will not lie, but...

At this moment, the boundaries around the [Stigmata Space] suddenly began to collapse.

Of course, it wasn't that the [Stigmata Space] itself was collapsing, but that Siegfried was being driven away.

"It's meaningless to just drive me away like this. I will come back again." Siegfried flicked the red sand under him, then disappeared into the [Stigmata Space].

"It's meaningless." The man was silent for a long time, and finally turned around and looked at the forest of steles in the distance. "The truth?"

There are some "truths" that even TA, who is the [Will of Kaslana's Stigma], is not clear about. Perhaps only when the trial is truly passed, the so-called "truth" will be revealed.

----

"Huh..." Because his wife was bewitched by his daughter, Siegfried, who had drunk some wine, ended up becoming the head of the living room.

Siegfried sat up from the sofa and felt sore all over, as if he had been poisoned by alcohol.

But Siegfried knew very well that this was not caused by alcohol, because he could clearly feel the power in his body growing stronger, but at the same time Siegfried could also feel the danger of this power.

It kept yelling in Siegfried's ear, "Kill Honkai," but if that was all, Siegfried didn't care.

After all, 'killing Honkai' is also a way of 'protecting', it's just a little too radical.

But Siegfried discovered that in the judgment of this power, Kiana and Sirin were both members of "Honkai".

As Siegfried gets closer to Kiana, the sound becomes louder.

This is why Siegfried challenges Kaslana again and again, trying to truly awaken.

In addition, Siegfried also discovered that there was a huge secret hidden in Kaslana. He wanted to get the truth, which was extremely important to him.

"Damn it." Siegfried gritted his teeth.

The power in his body became even stronger. If he could use the power in his body, Siegfried knew that he could even use [Judgment of Heavenly Fire] without burning himself like Kaslana who used to use [Judgment of Heavenly Fire].

If this power had no 'side effects', then Siegfried would certainly be happy.

But he was afraid of this power at the moment, because it was constantly urging Siegfried to "kill Honkai".

Siegfried was afraid that one day he would use this power and point the weapon at Kiana or Sirin.

This was something Siegfried was absolutely unwilling to do.

B.115: Activation of the Honkai Factor

"Ms. Kiana? Why are you up so early?" Bella, who had gotten up early in the morning to prepare breakfast, looked at Kiana in shock, who had been in a daze in the living room since who knows when. "Or did you not sleep at all?"

"No." Kiana waved her hands quickly. "I just woke up suddenly in the middle of the night."

In fact, Kiana didn't know why she suddenly woke up from her sleep.

"Woke up suddenly?" Bella walked to Kiana's side. "What happened?"

"It shouldn't be a big deal, right?" Kiana shook her head. "Did I dream yesterday? I don't think so."

It is very rare for a Herrscher to dream, and even if he does, the dream will be very clear.

So Kiana believed that she was not dreaming, she just woke up very suddenly.

"I'm glad you're okay." After carefully observing Kiana for a few times, Bella confirmed that Kiana seemed to be really okay and nodded with relief. "However, Lady Kiana, since you got up so early, would you like to go to the vegetable market with me to see what to eat in the morning?"

"Forget it this time." Kiana, who was about to agree to Bella, suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure on the avenue. "I have something to do now."

"Well, then we won't delay Lady Kiana." Bella nodded slightly. She couldn't force Kiana to do anything.

"Let's go shopping together next time." Kiana tapped Bella on the forehead and disappeared from Bella's sight.

...

......

"Hey! Uncle, are you okay lately?" Kiana caught a glimpse of Siegfried doing morning exercises at home and quickly teleported out. Now was a good time to "catch" Siegfried.

When Kiana quietly probed Siegfried's body, she found that the activation of the Honkai factor in Siegfried's body was not normal, and it had even reached the level of "artificial collapse".

'Man-made collapse' is a very terrifying force.

In the 'original world', Sirin, who possessed six powers, was completely unable to fight back when facing Siegfried who had entered the 'semi-collapse' state.

Although this is also related to the fact that 'Xilin's' mastery of power is not very high, it also shows how terrifying the power of 'artificial collapse' is.

But this also made Kiana feel strange, because Siegfried's Honkai Factor was so abnormally activated, but his body did not show any signs of abnormality.

But no matter what, Kiana must pay attention to such abnormal situations.

"Huh? Why do you ask?" Siegfried, who had a fight with Kaslana in the middle of the night last night and was sore all over due to the power of the stigma, was doing morning exercises.

However, although it is called morning exercise, it is actually just running.

If it were a normal day, he would probably warm up with Yulandel and then practice with her for a while.

But today he got up to run because he couldn't sleep, so Yulandel is still hugging her mother in bed.

"Still pretending?" Kiana raised an eyebrow. "The blood of the Kaslana family has the Honkai factor."

"What's the matter with your abnormal activation of Honkai Beast Factor?"

"As expected, you found out after all." Siegfried scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

"Huh, it seems you wanted to hide it from me from the beginning." Kiana crossed her arms across her chest. "Tell me, what happened?"

Kiana and Siegfried looked like a daughter who caught her father saying he would quit smoking and drinking, but secretly smoked and drank.

Fortunately, at this time, most of the Valkyries are still asleep, or have left Saint Freya early to go home for the New Year.

"It's not a big deal actually." Siegfried shrugged. "It's about the awakening of the stigmata. Kiana, you know a lot about stigmata, right?"

"I heard that little girl Anna had a problem with her stigmata some time ago, and you helped her solve it."

"Is it really the awakening of the stigma?" In fact, in the 'original world', Kiana was not very clear about the situation of 'Siegfried'.

She only knew that Siegfried had been injected with an active agent during the [Second Sequence Great Collapse], which activated the Honkai energy in his body. He was defeated in the trial with the [Stigmata Will], thus losing the chance to awaken and being tortured by the Honkai factor. Finally, he was sealed up by Kevin.

As for the specific situation, she didn't have time to ask.

"So, what's the result?"

...

......

"It turns out that the reward mechanism of [Kaslana] is similar to that of [Shaniat]." After listening to Siegfried's description, Kiana realized that her previous complaints were wrong.

However, while the reward mechanisms are similar, Kaslana's awakening is dangerous because of the difference in the 'prizes'.

"But uncle, something is not right with you."

"The Houkai factor in your body has long exceeded the limit... If it were normal, your body would have already entered a state of abnormality."

"Come on, stand still and don't move." Kiana held Siegfried's...arm.

There was no way. After all, Siegfried was almost twenty centimeters taller than Qiyana, so it was a bit difficult to hold down Siegfried's shoulders.

After holding down Siegfried's arm, Kiana activated the [Power of Death] to detect Siegfried's physical condition.

"Are you kidding me? The activation level of the Honkai Factor has increased by at least 20% compared to yesterday?!" Kiana's eyes widened in disbelief.

But what makes Kiana feel weird is...

The proportion of Siegfried's Honkai factor after activation is already ridiculously high, but Siegfried's body has not undergone any abnormal changes. He is just like a... Herrscher.

Actually, it’s not a very appropriate analogy.
