Eyes filled with abyss? Then why was it that every time she looked at Feng, her eyes were filled with him?
Is it because... can he fully accept her, the one who is not tolerated by the world and is called "a disaster to the world" by her grandfather?
At this moment, Davion suddenly understood.
It's not that my sister wears a mask, but that we wear a mask for her. It is we who want to stick the mask on her face forever. It is we who want to use the shackles called "expectations" to bind her in a cage called "Atagina's House" because we don't want the real sister. What we need is the sister who is always weak but deeply loves her family and always speaks in a soft voice.
She has worn the mask for too long, and now she can finally tear it off, break the shackles, and find her own world and her own real life.
For me, the past life was so beautiful, but for my sister who has always been wearing a mask, is it really a beautiful life? She has always suppressed her true self, but never compromised with the world. She would rather wear a mask than change her heart. This is part of my sister's true appearance...
Now that I think about it, that fairy-tale-like sister does seem a little unreal.
She is unwilling to surrender to the world, yet has to disguise herself and cannot break free of the shackles that the world has put on her. If this continues, sooner or later, she will choose to fight with death, no longer care about death, and bloom as freely as the flowers on the other shore before death comes, right?
But... now she is so free. She once told herself that she likes her current life and the person in her eyes very much.
Should I still thank Feng? Thank him for not letting my sister go to destruction, thank him for tearing off the mask for my sister and opening the shackles for her?
It would be better if there weren't so many girls around that guy.
Davion smiled. The problem that had been bothering him for a while seemed to be solved at this moment. What was he worried about? Why did he always force himself to bury everything in his heart and not think about it, but he always kept thinking about these things?
The answer is actually very simple. He is just worried that his sister will no longer care about him, but so what? If all this is forced upon his sister by everyone, why does he still ask for so much?
The life my sister is living now is what she wants, why should I put myself in shackles for her again?
Become a disaster to the world?
My sister can do whatever she wants!
Even if I am threatened by Mu Dalu, so what? They can't threaten my sister at all!
My sister is invincible!
Thinking about it this way again, I finally won't be a burden to my elder sister this time. My elder sister will still visit my younger sister and is still willing to wear the mask that she hates until my younger sister grows up. Isn't that enough?
He remembered the wish he made when he was a child. He hoped that one day he could become his sister's strongest support, so that his sister could freely choose what she wanted and no longer be bound by anyone.
Isn’t this what my sister is like now?
What else do you want a bicycle for?
Davion suddenly realized something and handed the document to Lionel with a smile. In the surprised look of Lionel, he almost laughed and said with a tense face: "I won't cooperate with you. Don't even think about it. I won't be a burden to my sister, and don't think of using me to threaten my sister. You can't do it, and you don't dare to do it!"
At worst, I'll just die. I wonder if you, Mu Dalu, dare to watch me die while my sister may completely break up with you guys!
Who is afraid of whom? Let's see who is annoying whom in the end! My sister may not care if I die, but you have to worry about the revenge from the Fire Moth!
Lionel watched Davion walk away in silence. After a while, he spoke as if to the air: "Your Majesty, it seems that we have no way to win over Lilith."
"Think of another way to attack from another aspect. We all underestimated her brother's respect for his sister. Threatening is the worst method. You have done your best, Sir Lionel. There is no need to blame yourself."
The king's voice came from a small instrument that Lionel placed on the table. Lionel lowered his eyes and looked at the document handed back by Davion in a daze. In the information he collected, Davion had never had such an expression. It was as if he suddenly had an epiphany while looking at the document and thinking.
Davion is actually... a severe sister complex, right?
Thinking of his stubborn sister who was still in Europe carrying out some unknown plan, Lionel felt that it was not difficult to understand.
Although she has always been so stubborn and doesn't like to listen to the best path arranged for her, isn't the life she has now what she likes?
So Lionel finally chose to respect Rovco's choice.
This is probably the understanding and resonance between a person who has a strong sister complex and a person who has a strong sister complex, right?
Lionel glanced inconspicuously at the small instrument on his desk.
In fact, like this, Rofko's choice may not be a bad thing. At least she does not have to participate in the power struggle in the palace. She can do what she wants in the field she likes without worrying about the impact of the power struggle above on her, because the World Serpent has gradually begun to dominate the entire Fire Moth, and the high-level officials who are not dominated do not care how much power they have and only want to crush Honkai.
That's enough...
If she returned to Mu Continent now, not to mention whether she would be pulled over by her father as a bargaining chip for marriage, she might end up like herself now, having to be careful about her every word and action and being monitored all the time.
Of course, he understood why His Majesty the King did this. After all, Beffinger was his best friend. Beffinger defected just because he said so. His Majesty the King said he believed in him, but in fact, he himself thought that as a good friend of Beffinger, it was just natural for him to be suspected.
However, no matter how much pressure he faces, he has to stand up and someone has to take the lead.
Everything is done to protect the future of mankind.
What's more, he did have a private agreement with Beffinger, and with Beffinger's promise, he no longer had any worries and could go ahead and do it.
Chapter 265 Preparations for the Campaign
Lionel walked quickly into the Collapse Observation Center of Mu Continent, where Dr. Einstein was already directing researchers to add search parameters and expand the search scope.
"What's the situation? Have you found the location of the Herrscher?" Lionel asked.
"In the collapse that just happened, the instrument detected a signal from a Herrscher that had never been recorded before, but it disappeared in just a moment." Dr. Einstein said solemnly, "The only news that can be confirmed at present is that this is the signal sent by the Herrscher who was born this time at the moment of birth... We are now adding new search parameters. As long as she is still in Mu Continent, we will definitely be able to find her."
“Isn’t it Herrscher X…” Lionel frowned, but calculating the time, it was indeed the time when the ninth Herrscher was born. The trace of Herrscher X has not been found so far and it only exists in hypothesis, but Lionel is more inclined to believe that Herrscher X does exist and may be the original Herrscher.
This time, the Ninth Herrscher actually appeared in Mu Continent?
"Where was her first signal?" Lionel decided to attack from both sides with Dr. Einstein. "As long as we know where she was born and investigate all the survivors who were in that location at the time, we will always find some clues."
He did know that a collapse had just broken out in a city on Mu Continent, but because he had learned of the birth of the Ruler, he rushed to Dr. Einstein as soon as possible and did not have time to find out which city it was.
Dr. Einstein sighed softly and called up the location where the initial signal appeared. When Lionel saw the name of the city, he was stunned: "Murstein? This is... the city that Yanar went to investigate?"
Previously, witnesses said that they saw traces of Honkai beasts in Murstein, so Yanar took a team from Mu Continent to investigate. Could it be this city?
"We are still trying to contact Major Yanar and the local Honkai Observation Center in Murstein, but because the Honkai just broke out, the radio waves have been interfered and we have not received a reply yet." Dr. Einstein lowered his eyes and said, "Also, considering that the seventh Herrscher Uriel has a human way of thinking, the ninth Herrscher born this time is likely to be more human than Uriel. In addition, the reason why the signal disappeared so quickly after it appeared is most likely that the ninth Herrscher has not yet fully awakened, just like the fifth and sixth Herrschers."
Dr. Einstein paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "She is waiting for the right time. As long as time is delayed long enough, she will fully awaken... and we still don't know what power the Ninth Herrscher possesses."
"Besides, because the Herrschers are gradually beginning to have human thinking patterns, the people we contact... may not be trustworthy, right?" Lionel's expression also became solemn. "But, fortunately, we already have a countermeasure. After the Honkai breaks out, our army will immediately blockade Murstein, and the people inside will not be able to get out."
"The power of the Fifth Herrscher is to slow down or even freeze the movement of molecules. The power of the Sixth Herrscher, according to the performance of the Sixth Divine Key, the Black Abyss White Flower, can cause programmed cell apoptosis, decompose and destroy all inorganic matter. If it is released on a large scale, the consequences will be disastrous." Dr. Einstein looked into Lionel's eyes. "Sir Lionel, we don't have much time. We need more power! We must reduce the possibility of accidents to the impossible."
Lionel knew what the more power Dr. Einstein was talking about was, and that was to seek the help of the Fire Moth.
He knew that what the doctor said was right. This was the safest way. Mu Dalu and the Fire Moth could work together to annihilate the Ninth Herrscher as soon as possible. However... Dr. Einstein was a genius in scientific research, but seemed a little slow in other aspects... Mu Dalu had already broken with the Fire Moth. The vested interests would not want to share their power with the Fire Moth again. Moreover, many people were eager for Mu Dalu to kill a Herrscher alone for the first time. If he sought help from the Fire Moth at this time... it would only make Mu Dalu lose face, and he would encounter great resistance before that. Based on Lionel's understanding of the king, he might even be dismissed by the king the moment he proposed this idea.
The king himself might be the one who wanted Mu Dalu to kill a Herrscher alone to prove his ability. Mu Dalu had been preparing for a long time to fight against Honkai alone and was in urgent need of a victory to prove himself. How could he let the Fire Moth get involved?
If he had not personally been to the front lines to formulate and command the battle against the Herrscher, he would most likely have the same idea as the king, right?
If you have never faced the threat from the Herrster in person, and only look at the battle records on paper, it is indeed difficult to feel the direct threat from the Herrster, and it is easy to make people think that the Herrster is nothing more than this.
If a subordinate organization of the United Nations can do it, how could Mu Continent, as the center of the world, not be able to do it?
But... the facts are often contrary to what people imagine...
Dr. Einstein looked at the silent Lionel and said after a while: "Sir Lionel, you have changed...you are no longer the same as before..."
"That's enough, Dr. Einstein. No more talking." Lionel interrupted Dr. Einstein. "We need a big victory. No matter what the cost, we need a big victory."
Dr. Einstein just looked at Lionel and finally could only sigh deeply. It's not that she didn't understand Lionel's thoughts, she also understood Lionel's helplessness...Human society has never been simple. Even when facing a natural disaster like Honkai that threatens civilization, two organizations will split to fight against Honkai.
Lionel has done well enough in this position. He can certainly get in touch with the Fire Moth against all odds, but this is Mu Continent, and he still has to obey the king's orders. If the king does not allow it, even if the Fire Moth secretly provides help later, Lionel will inevitably be imprisoned after that, and someone else will take his place.
Can the person who was substituted in really do what Lionel can do?
"I will rush to Murstein with Hen immediately to organize the search and crusade against the Ninth Herrscher." Lionel turned and was about to leave. "Doctor, you stay here to monitor and contact Murstein. I will also keep in touch with you on the way to ensure that both parties can share information as soon as possible."
"I understand, Sir Lionel," said Dr. Einstein. "Then I will wish you good luck in your military career and wait for good news."
"Thank you for your good words." Lionel said and left.
Not long after, at Hen's home.
"Grayshus, I have to go on a long trip. For the next picnic... it seems that only you and mom can go." Hen squatted down and touched Grayshus' head. After receiving Lionel's order, he immediately prepared to leave home and go to Murstein. Originally, he and Blanca both had holidays during this period and could accompany Grayshus together, but he did not expect that the timing of the Ninth Herrscher's birth was so coincidental. As the only fusion warrior in Mu Continent, he had to go.
"Be sure to come back safely." Blanca's brows were full of worry.
"Don't worry." Hen stood up and said with a relaxed expression, "After all, I am Feng and Kevin's senior. Although I may not be as good as them now, I am also an old man who has experienced many battles. What's more, I even came back alive after the incident with Yuga, so I will definitely come back this time as well."
“You… Yuga is Yuga, and the Herrscher is the Herrscher. What’s more…” Blanca wanted to say something else, but in the end it all turned into a sigh, “Alas… There’s nothing we can do about it. Go, Hen, and make sure you come back safely. Grayshuin and I will be waiting for you here.”
"With my wife here..." Hen pounded his chest and said with a smile, "Now I have 1000% of my strength!"
"Stop talking nonsense here!" Blanca rolled her eyes at Hen in annoyance, "Go quickly, don't waste time."
Suddenly, Grace spoke. She looked up at Hen and said softly, "Dad, can you not go?"
"Grayxiu..." Hen was stunned, thinking that Grayxiu was dissatisfied with him for breaking the appointment. He could only smile helplessly and said to Grayxiu, "I'm sorry, Grayxiu, Dad really has to go this time... Dad promised you that when he comes back this time, he will definitely accompany you more, so you have to stay with mom and wait for Dad to come back."
Grayxiu looked into Hen's eyes. At a certain moment, Hen even felt that the person looking at him was not his nine-year-old daughter, but a teenage girl. She seemed to know something that she should not know at her age.
But soon, Hen put this idea behind him. What was he thinking? He had seen his daughter from birth to now, how could she be a teenage girl? He must be overthinking it.
"Then...Dad, please make a promise with me that you must come back."
Gray Xiu stretched out a little finger, and Hen also stretched out his little finger to make a pinky promise with Gray Xiu: "Dad promises you, Gray Xiu, I will definitely come back."
Greshu and Blanca watched Hen leave. Blanca looked at Greshu, thought for a while, then squatted down and said to Greshu, "Greshu, can we postpone our picnic today? Mom needs to go to Dr. Einstein's place. You can come with her, but you must be obedient, understand?"
She was still worried about Hen, but she was relatively familiar with fighting Honkai, so she might be able to help a little by going to Dr. Einstein.
Gray nodded: "Yes."
After getting on the car with Blanca to the Mu Continent Collapse Observation Center where Dr. Einstein was, Grayshu looked up at the sky outside the window.
"Brother Yufeng promised me that he would let Mom and Dad stay. He will definitely do it." Grayxiu thought in her heart, "But...Brother Yufeng, you must stay too..."
The commotion caused by the emergency mobilization on Mu Continent soon spread to the Fire Moth.
"Mu Continent has sent a statement. This time they will deal with the Ninth Herrscher completely independently, and they don't need the Fire Moth to intervene." Mei said as she looked at the message from Mu Continent in her hand. "Also, Mu Continent's coastal defense line has been urgently blocked by Mu Continent, and it is difficult for us to sneak into Mu Continent to carry out operations."
"This is difficult for ordinary people, but it should be easy for fusion warriors." A council member said, "What's more, judging from their current movements, they should be focusing on the subjugation of the Ninth Herrscher. We are not without a chance."
"Why do we want this opportunity? To do something thankless?" Another congressman frowned and said, "Mu Continent has said that they will deal with it on their own and are still so wary of us. Why should we go and try to please them? What's more, they have been preparing for this for a long time. Everyone can see that Mu Continent is determined to win the Ruler this time. There is no need for us to do such a thankless task. Anyway, they will be the ones who suffer the loss. What does it have to do with us?"
"But Honkai is a threat to all of humanity. We can't just do nothing!" said the congressman, but no one else chose to speak. He could only turn his gaze to the leader of his faction, Beffinger, "Sir Beffinger, say something too!"
"Me?" Beffinger raised his eyes. "His Majesty the King has directly said that if the Fire Moths interfere with the actions of Mu Continent, I will be dismissed. What else can I say, Lord Edward? And even if our warriors can enter Mu Continent, I am afraid that the first enemy they will face after entering will not be Honkai, but Mu Continent's own people."
The congressman was silent. He was from Mu Continent, so he couldn't just turn a blind eye to his motherland falling into danger. But his motherland didn't want his help! He was also desperate!
What's more, Mu Continent has already broken with the Fire Moth. If it weren't for Lord Beffinger's best efforts, the members of the Mu Continent faction would probably have been squeezed out by other members of the Fire Moth. But... even if they retained their seats as members of the faction, they are now on the edge of the power of the Fire Moth and basically have no say.
Edward sighed deeply, feeling guilty that his remarks might have implicated Lord Beffinger. At the same time, he could only pray in his heart that Mu Continent could quickly capture the Ninth Ruler without suffering heavy casualties.
Zhu Yufeng, who was pulled over to attend the meeting as a representative of the fusion warriors, glanced at Edward, who looked a little guilty, and was a little speechless. It was obviously Beffinger who sold them all out, but in the end they were still thanking Beffinger...
Kevin, who was sitting next to him, cast his eyes on him, wanting to know what he was going to do. After all, Kevin didn't care whether Mu Dalu was sinking or not. If it wasn't for Mu Dalu, how could Mei have added so much workload... And Kevin's main concern was that Hen's family was all in Mu Dalu...
They had to find a way to at least make sure that Grayshull and the others would be okay.
"If Mu Continent can really handle it on its own, we don't need to worry too much." Zhu Yufeng said, "But the power of the Ninth Herrscher born this time is unknown. Considering the abilities of the first eight Herrschers, the Ninth Herrscher's ability is probably not simple. What's more, the Honkai energy level of each Sequence Herrscher is higher than the previous one, so it's always a good idea to be more prepared. Honkai can fail countless times, but humans don't have many chances to fail."
The plan had actually been discussed long ago, and it was impossible for Mobius to let Grayshuin get hurt again like in the previous life.
However, this time the blockade of Mu Continent is even stricter than the last time, directly prohibiting all people from entering and leaving, which will cause considerable trouble to subsequent operations.
"I don't care whether Mu Dalu sinks or not, but I promised Grayxiu that I would bring her parents back." Zhu Yufeng thought to himself.
"Is it necessary, Feng?" The congressman who had opposed earlier asked, "They have treated us like this, and we still have to welcome them with a smile?"
"If they mess up, someone has to clean up the mess." Zhu Yufeng said calmly, "If we didn't kill the Seventh Herrscher in time during the Seventh Herrscher incident, what would be the consequences? ... You're right, they don't need our assistance, and we don't have to do those thankless tasks. But if something happens, someone has to clean up the mess in the end."
He was going to say the congressman's name, then realized he couldn't remember the congressman's name...
The congressman was silent for a moment, then said, "That's right. If Mu Continent gets into trouble, they will suffer, but at least we can't be implicated."
It's another day of internship at a hospital dozens of kilometers away... Although it is the last internship of this semester, my exam week starts on the 1st of next month. Although I will update in the next few days, I will definitely not be able to update in the first week after July.
Of course, there will definitely be more chapters in July, so that the previous civilization volume can be completed before August and then we can move on to the current civilization volume.
Then, about the name Mavis... After reading the comments, I found that it was really a coincidence. In fact, I didn’t think much about it when I chose this name. This is the meaning of thrush in Celtic and Old French, which implies happiness, beauty, sincerity and kindness (although Mavis herself is set to inherit the dark side of her father's side...).
I thought of this name a long time ago, and it can be traced directly back to the article I wrote on Bilibili.
Chapter 266 Zhu Yufeng: I am the Ninth Herrscher?
"The assault team and I have arrived at the outskirts of Murstein. Dr. Einstein, what is the current situation inside Murstein? Is there any news from Yanar and the Honkai Energy Observation Center in Murstein?" Lionel, wearing a special combat uniform, said to Dr. Einstein on the screen in the temporary camp.
"During the time you were rushing to Murstein, we have been trying to contact possible survivors in Murstein. However, it may be because the Herrscher has just been born and the concentration of Honkai energy in the surrounding environment is too high. The signals we received have been intermittent. If we want to establish a communication channel, you must install a signal base station on your side." Dr. Einstein said in a deep voice, "At present, from the intermittent contacts we have received from the Honkai Energy Observation Center, we can basically know that the location where Major Yanar led the team to exterminate the Honkai beasts may be very close to the center of this Honkai outbreak. Even though Major Yanar and her team are well-equipped, facing the Honkai outbreak at close range..."
