The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

At this time, Feng on the side spoke up: "Qiana, do you need to talk to me after breakfast?"

Kiana looked at Feng, who seemed to still be reading the newspaper. She looked at the sunglasses Feng was wearing and suddenly wondered if Feng wore sunglasses to prevent others from knowing where he was looking. Just like what Feng had just said, he had obviously noticed that his emotions were not right, but he did not notice when he was looking at him.

"Maybe... we really need to have a good talk." Kiana said.

"Before we talk, eat a good breakfast first. You used to eat more than this." Feng said.

After breakfast, Feng brought Kiana to a balcony. Looking at the scenery outside the balcony, Kiana asked with some confusion: "What is the castle over there..."

"The Shaniyat family's castle is something that almost all European nobles have." Feng said calmly, "Originally, Ivar and the others wanted Alicia and I to move into the castle. They built the castle for my return one day... Tsk, I don't know which generation of Shaniyat family head came up with this idea. Anyway, the architectural drawings were designed by Eden."

"So, why didn't you choose that castle?" Kiana asked. She could see that Feng was indeed a little distressed about all this, and she couldn't help but find it a little funny. It seemed that this highly respected ancestor of Shanyiat was not easy to be.

"I don't really mind it. It was Alicia who said she wanted to live like this for a few days. Or..." Feng looked at the ancient castle in the distance. "At least for now, let her and I live a peaceful life. Besides, there is another reason. She and I are a little worried that you will not be used to living in such a big castle with us. After all, it won't just be Alicia and I who will live there."

"Could there be another..."

"There will also be old friends whom I miss." Feng turned his gaze towards Kiana jokingly, "Some of them may still be old acquaintances to you."

Teacher Gray Shu and the others...

Speaking of this, Kiana couldn't help but look at Feng and said, "You obviously knew Teacher Gray Shu and the others before, but you didn't even mention a word!"

"It's important to maintain a sense of mystery. What's more, you wouldn't understand even if I told you at that time. Some secrets are better revealed at the right time, right?" Feng shrugged and said.

Kiana looked at Feng. Feng's expression was relaxed at this moment. There was no trace of the cold look in the memory space, nor the coldness when he wanted to use his own body to kill Siegfried. He was just like an ordinary...big sister next door?

"I still want to complain, what's wrong with your current body?"

"Well, you have guessed the reason, haven't you? It's just a little thought of Alicia." Feng said without any concern, "After all, I was too willful in that incident, and made her miss me for so long. In this case, what's wrong with indulging her a little? As long as she is happy."

"Is that so..." Kiana nodded thoughtfully, "But, since she has such a little idea, didn't she prepare a pink dress for you?"

She didn't believe that Alicia didn't prepare these for Feng. She obviously had them all. Feng's current carrier was a woman, so how could Alicia not prepare them? But now Feng in front of her was wearing a black suit, nothing more, which didn't fit Alicia's style at all.

Feng was silent for a moment, then looked up at the sky: "Well, uh... maybe it's still a little too fancy for me..."

I understand. Not wearing the pink skirt was the last bit of stubbornness Feng had when facing the female carrier that Alicia prepared for him.

"Alright, alright, these aren't really important questions. These aren't what you want to ask, right?" Feng turned his head slightly and looked at Kiana and said, "Talking about these won't solve your current mental problems."

Kiana pursed her lips and was silent for a while before she said, "Before, when you forced me to come out...what you said to my dad...are they all true? He really..."

Feng glanced at Kiana. Compared to her own identity, was she more concerned about Siegfried's affairs? That was right. After all, in her cognition, Siegfried was still a father to her. And thinking that one's father was powerful was an idea that every child would have when they were young. What she said when she beat up Siegfried was also a huge impact on Kiana's previous impression of Siegfried.

"At least from my perspective, that's how I see him." Feng said calmly, "As for how you view him, it's up to you. There's no doubt that Siegfried has the same strength as an S-class Valkyrie, and he did fulfill his duty as a warrior against Honkai on the battlefield."

"Then why..."

"During the Second Collapse, he fought hand in hand with the Anti-Entropy Leader. If Otto hadn't interfered, perhaps the Second Herrscher could have been killed earlier, instead of gaining stronger power and becoming a greater threat." Feng said, "This is his contribution, I don't deny it."

Otto... this person is indeed quite complicated.

"However, at the end of the Second Collapse, he returned the First Herrscher Core that belonged to the Anti-Entropy Leader to Anti-Entropy." Feng looked at Kiana, "Do you think he did the right thing?"

"...I don't know much about anti-entropy, but from the perspective of destiny, anti-entropy is the enemy of destiny after all..."

"That's right. Anti-Entropy is the enemy of Destiny. That's enough." Feng said, "Otto doesn't like Siegfried because he didn't follow Otto's orders in the Second Collapse and prevented Otto from killing the Anti-Entropy leader. After all, he is a warrior of Destiny, but he openly disobeyed orders, which is what Otto can't tolerate the most. So, he used this to put pressure on the Kaslana family, trying to force the Kaslana family to take back the Skyfire from Siegfried. In the end, it was the Shaniyat family that stepped in and suppressed the matter. After all, Siegfried's wife was Cecilia, and Cecilia had just died at the time. Siegfried did something stupid, and Shaniyat could understand it. But the impact of this incident is not that simple... The rift between Shaniyat and Kaslana has widened little by little."

Kiana was silent.

"Then there was Siegfried's defection. I think you should know the process of his defection, so I won't go into details. This incident completely plunged Kaslana, who stood behind him, into the abyss." Feng continued, "A large number of Kaslana Valkyries were transferred from the front line to logistics and to idle positions. Because of the special nature of your and Bianca's children, Shaniyate completely broke with Kaslana. In the end, where can you see anyone from Kaslana's family in this destiny?"

Kiana lowered her eyes, she was also thinking.

"Perhaps from Siegfried's perspective, from the perspective of anti-entropy, he is a fighter with a strong sense of justice, and is willing to do anything for it, even at the cost of his own life." Feng's eyes moved to the distant sky, "But I don't like such people, because his sense of justice has never brought any good results. It only makes him suffer, and makes others around him have to clean up the mess for him. Before he defected, did he really not consider his family at all? His father, your grandfather in theory, is still alive. After his son, the head of the family, defected, he could only stand up, facing the cold stares of his clansmen, the ridicule of others, and struggling to support the current Kaslana."

Feng paused for a moment and added, "But it's hard to say how many years he can live. I heard from Otto that he may not survive this year."

Both of them were silent for a while, and then Kiana said, "Can I... go see Kaslana now?"

"Of course there is no problem." Feng spread his hands and said, "You want to know more about Siegfried. It's useless to just listen to my opinion. Why he has such a deep conflict with Shaniyat, or the relationship between Siegfried and Kaslana, you can see and think about it yourself."

There is nothing wrong with having a sense of justice, but you cannot let others pay the price for your sense of justice again and again. For such a person, when things are within the scope of his ability to handle, perhaps the situation will not be so bad, but once things are beyond his ability, his sense of justice will only become his sin and a disaster for others.

He is the ancestor of Shaniyat and the lord of the World Serpent. These identities meant that he could not look at Siegfried's affairs from the perspective of Anti-Entropy.

Chapter 64: Visit to Kaslana

Yulandel stood outside the territory of the Kaslana family, looking at the mansion inside the territory, and fell into hesitation.

How long had it been since she had set foot in the Kaslana family's territory and met the Kaslana family? Even though she had recovered her memories of when she was still called Kiana Kaslana, in her memory, some things about the Kaslana family were very vague. Except for her grandparents, she didn't know the other members of the Kaslana family.

I seem to have only been to the Kaslana family's territory once. I was quite young at that time, so the memory of it is quite vague.

Before she recovered her memory, she actually wanted to visit this once meritorious family that was gradually disappearing from the destiny and the eyes of the outside world. However, before she had achieved certain results, the Kaslana family had almost cut off most of their communication with the outside world. Moreover, due to the punishment from Bishop Otto on Kaslana caused by Siegfried's defection, such as all the Valkyries of the Kaslana family were not allowed to enter the front battlefield, she had no chance to contact anyone from the Kaslana family, so the idea of ​​visiting the Kaslana family was ultimately not realized.

After becoming a Destined S-rank Valkyrie, her grandfather Leopold had openly and covertly prevented her from visiting Kaslana's home. Also, as an S-rank Valkyrie, she didn't have much time to begin with, so this idea had been shelved until now.

Now, Shaniyat's ancestor Lucifer has returned. A while ago, Shaniyat raided Anti-Entropy's base in Mexico State and forcibly recovered the Holy Fire Tribunal from his father Siegfried. Then, the relationship between Shaniyat and Kaslana began to show signs of warming up, and Otto began to relax the ban on Kaslana's family.

She also felt that she might really need to come to Kaslana's house.

Regarding Shaniyat's raid on the Anti-Entropy Base, she heard from Aunt Maria about the general details. It was the ancestor Lucifer who led the team himself, and the recovery of the Skyfire was done by Lucifer himself. He seemed to have had a conversation with his father Siegfried. Aunt Maria was not very clear about the details because she was not among the Shaniyat family members who participated in the raid at the time, and only a few of the Shaniyat family members knew the inside story.

Aunt Maria only told her that Lucifer's last comment on her father Siegfried was this: "He is just a loser who never cares about the people around him in order to satisfy his ridiculous sense of justice."

Such a sentence made Yulandel feel extremely shocked at the time. She didn't know why Lucifer would make such an... extremely bad evaluation of her father in the end. In her memory, her father and the father evaluated by Lucifer almost became two different people.

Now recalling the experience of defecting from the destiny with her father, she even wanted to tell Lucifer that she was also involved in the matter at that time and she also chose to support her father's ideas, so should she also get the same evaluation as her father? If the decline of the Kaslana family now has a direct causal relationship with her father's defection, then should she also bear the part of responsibility that belongs to her?

There is another point, which was announced to all Shaniat family members by Lucifer on behalf of Shaniat, who participated in the raid:

Siegfried is not welcome in the Shaniyat family, not in the past, not now, not in the future, and never will be welcome.

When she heard this, she did feel a little overwhelmed.

She believed that her father was not such a person, but she also believed that Lucifer was not a person who would make such an evaluation out of malice or rashly. After all, it was Lucifer who saved her when she fell from a height of several thousand meters. In the battle of destiny, the control of her body was taken away by Lilith, and her consciousness was sunk into the depths of the consciousness space by Lilith. In the end, it was Lucifer who took Lilith out of his body.

In addition, she had read a lot of legends about Lucifer, so she really couldn't regard Lucifer as a bad person.

But she really did not agree with Lucifer's evaluation of her father Siegfried, but she could not see Lucifer now, so she had no choice but to find the answer herself.

Aunt Maria also said that Lucifer had actually wanted to kill his own father at that time, but in the end he gave up the intention because of herself and another person, and changed the original treatment of Siegfried to the current treatment.

The Shaniat family gave up the hunt for Siegfried. As long as Siegfried no longer appeared in front of them, they would pretend that Siegfried did not exist.

"The other person is..."

"It's K423." Aunt Maria's expression was a little unnatural at the time. "I don't know why, but Lord Lucifer is quite impressed with K423 and acknowledged her as a member of the Shaniyat family."

The implication of the words was that Lucifer did not occupy Kiana's body, or erase Kiana's consciousness. At the same time, he acknowledged Kiana's identity, which made Yulandel very happy. She wanted to contact Theresa who was far away in Saint Freya immediately to tell Theresa about these things, but Maria warned her that Lucifer's ancestor ordered that the matter concerning Kiana should be kept secret from the outside world for the time being, including Theresa.

"Ah..." Yulandel sighed softly.

"What's wrong, Lady Yulandel?" Rita said as she stood beside Yulandel, "Are you troubled by what happened recently again?"

Rita came with her.

"Rita, you tell me...my father, what kind of person is he?" Yulandel looked at Rita and asked.

"Lord Siegfried?" Rita put her hand on her chin as if thinking. "According to the records published by the Destiny Archives, before his defection, Lord Siegfried was very active in the fight against Honkai and saved ordinary people from Honkai beasts many times. During the Second Great Honkai, Lord Siegfried was also one of the main forces against the Second Herrscher."

"This is similar to what I have found in the past few days. So, Rita, what do you think?" Yulandel continued to ask.

"Siegfried is your father after all. If he were to comment on your father in front of you..."

"My ancestors have already described my father as a waste with only a sense of justice. Can you say anything harsher than my ancestors?" Yulandel said to Rita with empty eyes.

Are you directly calling Lord Siegfried a waste?

Rita almost couldn't hold back her expression as a perfect maid when she heard that. She asked why Yulandel wasn't in a good condition these days. She guessed that it was related to Siegfried. After all, she also knew about the final treatment of Siegfried by the Shanyiat family. But she really didn't expect... that Lord Lucifer actually gave Lord Siegfried such an evaluation directly?

"Ah..." Seeing Yulandel's serious look, Rita couldn't help but sigh and said, "Since you asked me this, Rita can only be a little offended. From the information Rita knows, Lord Lucifer's evaluation is indeed reasonable. From the perspective of an ordinary person like Rita, it may be a bit too harsh, but from the perspective of Shaniyat and Kaslana, this evaluation may not be so excessive."

Especially the Shanyiat family. Before Lucifer returned, whenever you heard the Shanyiat family mention the word "waste", you didn't even have to think about it, it was almost 100% certain that they were referring to Siegfried.

"Tell me in detail." Yulandel said.

"Well... Lord Yulandel, you know what Rita does. In the intelligence department, Rita and Lord Ivar are colleagues. Rita also knows some news that is inconvenient for outsiders to know." Rita replied, "For example, in the Second Collapse, Lord Siegfried once fought against the Second Herrscher together with the leader of Anti-Entropy, the Herrscher of Reason."

"I know this. At that time, Destiny and Anti-Entropy also formed a brief alliance." Yulandel nodded and said, "Then, is there any hidden story behind this?"

"In fact, at the end of the war, the Herrscher core of the Anti-Entropy leader fell into the hands of Destiny." Rita said with a helpless look, "However, this core was not delivered to the bishop or sealed in Destiny's research institute. Instead, it was returned to Anti-Entropy privately by Lord Siegfried."

Yulandel was stunned. This had never appeared in the files open to the public.

"After all, under the bishop's intention, the propaganda about Anti-Entropy within Mandate is basically in a negative state. Lord Siegfried's behavior is not big, but it is not small either." Rita said, "Lord Siegfried could use some means of the Kaslana family or the Shaniyat family to create momentum and force the bishop to recognize the achievements of the Anti-Entropy leader in the Second Collapse, so as to return the Herrscher core to Anti-Entropy openly, or at least discuss it with the Kaslana family or the Shaniyat family. But he chose the worst way to deal with it and returned the core to Anti-Entropy privately. And this scene was delivered to the bishop's desk by the scouts of Mandate."

Yulandel was silent. This...

"The head of the Kaslana family gave important strategic materials to Anti-Entropy without telling the family and the bishop." Rita said, "This is the final conclusion of the matter within the Mandate of Heaven. As for why it was not made public, it was actually the old head of Shanyati who stepped forward to suppress the matter. Otherwise, if it was made public, as long as the bishop wanted, he could make Kaslana lose face at any time. But this will more or less affect your future growth, so the old head of Shanyati chose to step forward."

Rita paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, the bishop just didn't do anything about it at the time, but the top leaders of both Kaslana and Shanyat knew it very well. The defection that happened afterwards completely made it almost impossible for Kaslana to continue to appear in Tianming."

"As a result of that defection, not only did you have an accident, but four Valkyries in the Shanyat family were disabled for life, and one Valkyrie was seriously injured and died. And... including the one who died, there were a total of three A-rank Valkyries. This was a huge loss for Tianming and Shanyat at the time."

"Then in your opinion, will the Shanyat family forgive Lord Siegfried? From the perspective of the Shanyat family, what kind of person is Lord Siegfried?"

In that era, the rating and assessment of Valkyries was quite strict. At least now it is definitely a lot more relaxed than before.

Not to mention, whether in the past or now, A-level Valkyries can be regarded as the elite among the Destiny Valkyries. Just like now on the front battlefield against Honkai, the majority of the Valkyries are still composed of B-level Valkyries.

After Rita finished speaking, she looked in the direction of the Kaslana family's mansion and said, "From what Rita knows about the Shaniyat family, the Shaniyat family has always been committed to fighting the Honkai, and they regard this as the glory of the family... To be offensive, Rita feels that most of the people in the Shaniyat family are arrogant. They think they are descendants of gods and are different from ordinary people. But compared to those stupid arrogant people, the arrogance of the Shaniyat family should be regarded as a kind of aristocratic arrogance. Because they are noble, they are born with the mission of protecting humans against Honkai."

"But that should be called pride, not arrogance, right?" Yulandel said with a frown.

"Well, Rita can't explain it to you right now. Now that you have recovered your memory, you will definitely have to come into contact with other Shanyat family members in the future. But you are also a Shanyat family member, so it may be difficult for you to have the same perspective as Rita." Rita shook her head gently and said, "In short, perhaps in the eyes of the Shanyat family, the only family that can be equal to them is the Kaslana family, but when Master Siegfried was 15 years old, he chose to run away from home because he resisted the family's mission. This behavior of abandoning the family's mission is also one of the reasons why most Shanyat have always had a bad attitude towards Master Siegfried. In contrast, Master Siegfried also can't stand the way Shanyat is bound by family bloodline and mission."

That being said, it seems that...

Now that I heard what Rita said, after visiting Kaslana's house today, maybe I should go visit the Valkyrie Shaniyat who was affected by the defection incident that year.

"This is just Rita's own little speculation about Lord Lucifer. Perhaps in Lord Lucifer's eyes, even if Lord Siegfried didn't have him, there would be others who could have achieved the same results. However, the negative impact caused by Siegfried was basically caused by Lord Siegfried's own impulsiveness and recklessness, so... that's why he gave Lord Siegfried such an evaluation in the end." Rita lowered her eyes and said, "Lord Siegfried fulfilled his duties as a warrior, but it's hard to describe in other aspects. Although he can't be called a waste, at least he should have made more thorough considerations for the people around him."

Yulandel sighed again and said nothing more. Instead, she and Rita walked towards the Kaslana mansion. As soon as they reached the door, they heard a girl's voice coming from inside.

"Please... don't come here again. Who do you think caused Kaslana to be like this now?... Go away and don't come here again... Siegfried abandoned Kaslana, and Kaslana... doesn't welcome Siegfried, or his daughter."

My father’s daughter…but am I not here?

Yulandel was stunned, and then the door of the mansion opened and Kiana walked out. Their eyes met at this moment, but after just a glance, Kiana looked away and walked outside in silence.

"Kiana..." Yulandel reached out and held Kiana. She wanted to say something, but in the end she only said one sentence, "Okay, can you wait for me and Rita outside for a while?"

Kiana was stunned for a moment, nodded, but didn't say anything.

Chapter 65 Kaslana

"Mom, Dad, when I grow up, I want to be a hero like Saint Kallen, a warrior who fights to protect the people! Then one day, I can fight side by side with Master Siegfried!"

"Haha, Leonie, Dad believes you can do it."

……

"The final decision has been made... All Kaslanas must leave the frontline immediately. From now on, no one from the Kaslana family is allowed to join the frontline Valkyrie troops."

"But, husband...Leonie..."

"What can we do? What can we do? As you know, you have been dismissed from your position as the Valkyrie instructor, and I have been transferred to a sinecure... From that time on, the current result... can only be said to be expected..."

"...Really...there is no other solution?"

"Where can we find a solution? How can we solve this problem? The head of the family defected to Anti-Entropy with important figures of the Destiny, and the Skyfire that has been passed down from generation to generation was also taken away. Not to mention that this time, an A-level Valkyrie died in Shaniyat, and four Valkyries were disabled... Kaslana must give an explanation to the Destiny and Shaniyat."

"…But Siegfried has not had any communication with us in these years, right?"

"Because he is the head of Kaslana family, his last name is Kaslana..."

"I'm not young anymore, so retiring doesn't really matter to me, but how old is Leonie? She has been working hard to become a qualified Valkyrie until today. How should we tell Leonie about this? How long will this ban last?"

"……do not know."

"..."

"Alas... Let's be optimistic, Sarah. Leonie is still young, right? At least... maybe she can still wait until the ban is lifted. It's just... a pity for Laura and the others who just joined the Valkyrie Corps."

"…Why on earth would he do that?"

"?"

"Why did Siegfried do this? Did Kaslana do him any wrong? Does the family really mean nothing to him? He left the family casually when he was young, but we didn't say anything because he took up the Skyfire after he came back. After he married Cecilia, he rarely came back to the family, and we didn't say anything because he took up the Skyfire, because he is the leader of this generation of Kaslana."

"..."
