Collapse, the beginning will avoid 500 years of detours

"No need to be so polite." Siegfried stood up. He was half a head taller than Otto, and the aura he exuded was more like that of a terrifying beast.

"Otto, tell me your purpose."

Siegfried did not choose to fight immediately. He had to consider the possibility that Kiana had fallen into Otto's hands. If Otto used Kiana to threaten him, he would have no choice but to surrender.

"That's my purpose." Otto smiled. "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you... or little Kiana."

Siegfried's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, Kiana's existence could not be hidden from Otto, but was the truth really as he said?

he does not know.

"My goal is your Heavenly Fire Judgment."

Otto directly expressed his purpose. Although it might be better to knock Siegfried out with a club in the middle of the night, there were not many people in St. Freya's Academy who could knock Siegfried out with a club. It was impossible to let the Death Worm knock Siegfried out with a club.

Therefore, it would certainly be better if Siegfried could hand over the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire peacefully.

but.

Siegfried frowned deeply. He had no obsession with the Holy Judge of Skyfire, but if Otto wanted to harm them father and daughter, the Holy Judge of Skyfire was his only hope to break out of the siege with Kiana.

"why?"

Siegfried suspected that once he handed over the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, Otto would let his men capture him.

"Because I don't want it to fall into someone's hands." Otto smiled. Even the Death Worm was so afraid of it, so how could Otto let Kevin get the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire?

Suddenly, Otto thought of Cleo's arrival.

Cleo's arrival was very unexpected, and the assassination attempt on her seemed completely impulsive. So why did they come to the Far East at this time...

Could it be that they are actually coming for the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire?!

Otto suddenly realized that since even the End Worm knew the importance of the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, the World Serpent must also know it.

So, his assassination was actually an unexpected disaster?

Otto frowned and looked at Siegfried, and Siegfried frowned. He didn't understand what Otto meant, but it was impossible to ask him to hand over the Judgment of Heavenly Fire like this.

"This is not enough reason for me to hand over the Heavenly Fire Judgment to you."

Siegfried took a deep breath, stared at Otto, and made a plan in his mind.

But before he could make his request, Otto spoke first.

"I can exchange a piece of information for your Holy Judgement of Heavenly Fire."

Otto didn't want to bargain with Siegfried.

"I can assure you that this is news that will definitely be worth your money."

One message and I want to exchange it for a divine key.

Under normal circumstances, Siegfried might have thought Otto was dreaming. He was about to make his own request, but when he saw Otto's calm eyes, his heart trembled for no reason.

"...What news?"

Otto didn't answer, but simply held out his hand calmly.

Although Siegfried's mind clearly told him not to hand over the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire to Otto, a possibility inevitably arose in Siegfried's mind. Perhaps Otto's current attitude was enough to prove that possibility. However...

Siegfried slowly drew his two guns from his waist.

He took a deep breath.

Place the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire in Otto's hands.

Siegfried wanted to hear Otto speak of that possibility himself, because only Otto could confirm that possibility.

"Very good." Otto nodded with satisfaction. "Then..."

"Your daughter is still alive."

!

Siegfried held his breath, his heart beating violently. He had always thought that his daughter had no chance of survival, but he actually heard this news from Otto.

Yes.

As to whether the child lived or died, neither Theresa's nor Siegfried's opinion counted; only Otto's opinion counted.

So...his child is really still alive!?

Siegfried covered his mouth. This tough guy who had been strong all his life actually had red eyes at this moment. He took a deep breath and looked at Otto with a complicated expression. In fact, he wanted to grab Otto's collar and force him to tell him the whereabouts of his daughter.

However, Siegfried found that he was unexpectedly able to remain calm.

He adjusted his heavy breathing.

Then, speak carefully.

"Is the child... okay now?"

PS: Good night

95. Play Again

Siegfried was willing to believe Otto. After all, before he left the Fate of Heaven, the Bishop of the Fate of Heaven had said that he had wanted to get rid of him, and his frankness left Siegfried speechless.

He had no need to deceive himself with lies, so the girl he thought died in the accident must still be alive.

"She's fine. We rescued her from the snowy mountains three years ago and gave her treatment. She's very healthy now."

The only aftereffect is the loss of some insignificant memories.

"Really..." Siegfried breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved. This might be the best news he had heard in these years.

"Then can I see..."

Siegfried opened his mouth to say the name, but he suddenly swallowed the words back.

Damn it.

He suddenly realized that something seemed to be seriously wrong.

For a moment, he didn't know how to start.

Otto didn't understand his father's complicated psychology. He weighed the Judgment of Heavenly Fire in his hand. The divine key with the strongest firepower felt a little cold to the touch. He was considering how to deal with the Judgment of Heavenly Fire.

After all, if you use the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire to fight Kevin and he is disarmed, then he is doomed.

The best option is to destroy it, but destroying a Key of God is not worth it. As for hiding it somewhere, Otto feels that Siegfried is obviously hiding in St. Freya's Academy, but Cleo would come here. The World Serpent may have a way to find their Lord's weapon.

What a headache.

Anyway, carry it with you first.

Otto inserted the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire into the gun belt under his clothes, which made Siegfried's eyelids jump. He had tied the gun belt before coming here, which meant he was completely sure of victory.

However, let alone one pair of Heavenly Fire Judges, even if there were ten or a hundred pairs, in Siegfried's heart, none of them would be safer than the news that his daughter was safe.

But when Otto turned around and prepared to leave, Siegfried quickly stopped him.

"Otto!"

Otto stopped and turned to look at him in confusion.

And Siegfried took a deep breath.

".......Where is Kiana now?"

How could the mere knowledge that his daughter was alive satisfy him?

"Which Kiana?"

However, Otto's words made Siegfried feel upset.

Yes.

Which Kiana?

Siegfried already regretted in his heart why he gave the name "Kiana" to K423. He could have given her a new name. At that time, did he see the shadow of his daughter in her as a clone?

"Hmph." Otto looked at Siegfried, whose face was struggling, and let out a trembling sound as if sneering at him.

"She has a new name and a new life now, and you are no longer necessary to her."

The girl who was once called Kiana now has a new name "Bianca", and Otto is a little confused as to why Siegfried gave his daughter's name to another girl. Even if he approves of the other person, couldn't he give her a new name?

"What do you mean?" Siegfried frowned deeply.

"Literally, she can no longer remember you," Otto said calmly. "You can consider this a side effect of the treatment."

Of course, the aftereffects also include changes in eye and hair color, but that's also not worth mentioning.

"...So that's how it is..." Siegfried clenched his fists and thought carefully. Falling from a high altitude into the snowy mountains and losing his memory, he was lucky to be able to save his life.

That way, she wouldn't feel any pain during the years I'm away.

A little relieved.

But...as a father, I still have to make it up to my daughter.

"What's her name now?" After the Holy Judge of Skyfire was handed over, Otto didn't seem to show any signs of attacking him and Kiana. Siegfried wondered if this meant that he and Kiana no longer needed to hide?

Once we find our daughter, the three of us will live a good life together.

He fantasized about a happy life, but when faced with Siegfried's question, Otto just shrugged his shoulders. He did not intend to answer Siegfried's question.

"Take care of yourself from now on, Siegfried."

Otto turned and left. He had no interest in Siegfried, and Skyfate did not need a fighting force from him.

"Otto..."

Siegfried did not stop Otto from leaving. He took a deep breath, but his mood was not heavy, because although Otto did not reveal his daughter's current identity, couldn't he find her biological father?

So easy!

It's not even difficult at all. Can parents not recognize their children after being separated from them for a few years?

Not to mention, there is Kiana as a reference.

Moreover, Kaslana's white hair was very conspicuous, and Otto couldn't possibly prevent his daughter from becoming a Valkyrie. He only needed to stare at the white-haired Valkyrie with outstanding destiny to find his daughter.

Thinking of the touching reunion after finding his daughter, Siegfried couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

However, this matter cannot be told to Theresa first. When Theresa hears the news, she may impulsively find Bishop Otto, which will complicate things.

Siegfried understood the meaning of Otto's last words, which meant that everything was clear. From now on, no matter what happened to Siegfried, even if he was treated as a stray dog ​​on the roadside and kicked to death, fate would not care.

Although Otto did not reveal his daughter's identity, he also did not say that he could not find and contact her.

So... have I reconciled with Otto?

Siegfried smiled with a complicated expression. Yesterday, he was still lamenting that there seemed to be a possibility of reconciliation between Otto and Walter Young, but he did not expect that he and Otto would reconcile first.

In Siegfried's eyes, he could completely reconcile with Otto.

He rebelled against Destiny because he could not accept Otto's actions and the fact that he had touched his daughter. However, in Siegfried's heart, everything Otto did was to fight against Honkai.

Now, both of his daughters are fine, so there is no need to let his daughters and himself wander around in the pursuit of destiny.

So, reconcile.

I... reconciled with Otto.

As if all the strength in his body had been drained, Siegfried sat back in his seat, his head tilted back. The heavy haze in his heart that had been weighing on him seemed to have dissipated.

If Cecilia were still alive, she would definitely make the same choice.

However, thinking of Otto's assassination yesterday, Siegfried suddenly felt that the next period would be troubled, but he would protect his daughter even at the cost of his own life.

Siegfried made up his mind.

But... now that I have reconciled with Otto, do I still have to continue working as a gatekeeper?

Thinking of Walter Yang who was still a teacher, Siegfried sighed. If he didn't behave properly, Theresa might become suspicious. He would wait until he found his daughter and then tell Theresa.

Siegfried was in a good mood. He took a look at the meat bun given by Otto on the table, and without caring whether it was poisonous or not, he picked up the meat bun and started eating it.

tasty.
