Where is the third collapse? ! !

"to make."

Otto handed over a bunch of green onions, hesitated, and then asked softly, "Can you answer a question for me?"

"say."

"Knowing clearly that you would be making an enemy of the entire destiny, why did you choose to stay and help, brother?"

The nights in medieval Europe were relatively dark, without much artificial light, with only the stars and the moon providing illumination.

The mountains in the distance are looming in the night, and the sounds of frogs and insects are intertwined to play a symphony of nature.

"Why do you want to stay and help?"

Fu Li, who was handling the ingredients, said nonchalantly: "It's a sunk cost."

It's that simple.

He spent a lot of money to find Alice to sneak into the Destiny Database. If he backed down just because of a few words, wouldn't all his previous investment be wasted?

Not to mention that this is just a virtual space, and he, a person who exists in reality, will not die.

Who plays online games and is afraid of their character's reading time? Since we've sneaked in, we have to check the clock in the bathroom - there is history and clock!

Oh, except Aincrad.

"I won't die..."

Otto narrowed his eyes as he muttered to himself, his tone strangely intriguing.

"But having said that, Tianming is really good at building a database. Let's give it some extra work."

Fu Li, who was frying eggs in a wok, reminded him.

Seeing the mimicking Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire bursting with tiny flames, the boy nodded in satisfaction. "It's fine for important characters like you and Miss Vera, but I didn't expect even a random NPC like Augustus to have such high intelligence."

"As long as there is enough computing power, it is not difficult to do this."

A malicious smile crossed his handsome face as Otto stir-fried the beef in the frying pan. "That 'me' out there has the luxury of maintaining such a vast virtual world, replaying everything that happened during this time over and over again. I'm sure Kallen's death must have been a profound blow to him."

"You seem quite pleased with your misfortune."

"Who brought you here, brother?"

The man said optimistically, "The moment I knew you were going to take Kallen away, I really felt that even if I died the next second, it wouldn't matter at all."

"Brother, you should also be the kind of person who wants to make her happy."

The glow of the Heavenly Fire was reflected in his pupils, and his gaze was blazing: "The kind of person who, as long as she is safe and sound, doesn't care even if he himself is never reborn, is the most important person."

After hearing this, Fu Li subconsciously had an image of a silly, white-haired fool smiling foolishly in his mind.

He was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Yes, I did before."

It's gone now.

Yes, even though Otto kept saying "fulfill your engagement with me" when he went to the dungeon to visit Kallen, Fu Li even came all the way from Shenzhou to the Far East to chase Kiana.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, the two of them didn't care whether they could get engaged.

Be it Fu Li or Otto, they have long known that there is no such thing as "I like you, so you must like me" in this world.

Love is multiplication. If one side is zero, it is always zero.

All they want is for the person they love to be happy, as promised to them.

Otto just wanted Kallen to survive, and he would do whatever it took to keep her alive. He was willing to do so even if she resented him or if it went against the beliefs she had always held.

And Fu Li just wanted an answer, even if that answer was, "Isn't this Xiao Li? Long time no see! Sorry, engagements and all that stuff were just childhood nonsense!", then he would cheerfully wave his hands and say he got it, then can we still be friends from now on?

Unfortunately, whether it is Kallen in history or Kiana in reality, they are unwilling to even give them this opportunity.

The former, who adhered to his beliefs, dragged his seriously injured body back to the execution ground, and eventually died at the hands of the Honkai Beast released by Otto while protecting civilians.

the latter?

"Who are you? I don't know you! Don't try to get close to me!"

"……hehe."

Fu Li smiled bitterly, shook his head, and turned the pot over using the skillful cooking skills he had honed over the past eight years, specially prepared to feed Kiana, the greedy little cat.

……

Chapter 32: Replicating the Holy Mark of Reason

The quiet time flowed by, and for a moment, the only sound left in the kitchen was the crackling of the burning fire.

"The sounds of cooking and simmering have stopped! Get to work!"

The loud urging from the living room woke Fuli and Otto, who were immersed in their memories.

Fu Li shrugged: "Well, hard work may not be noticed by the boss, but slacking off will definitely be noticed."

He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Honestly, we're pretty lucky. At least if the guy we like doesn't like us, we can just tell him directly. Isn't that a thousand times better than those stinky bitches who keep the guy hanging?"

Soon, he saw a confused look on Otto's face, and then he realized that given the status of women in medieval Europe, keeping men hanging was indeed a bit of a joke from hell.

"It's about the future world. In short..."

After hearing the boy's explanation, Otto reacted and smiled awkwardly.

"H-I see. I thought you were talking about my sister Lisa."

"what?"

Lisa Apokalis, the second daughter of Bishop Nicholas and sister of Otto.

In the near future, it was this person who persuaded Otto to release the Honkai beasts imprisoned in the lowest level of Destiny to attack the execution ground on the day of execution, eventually leading to the death of Kallen who was protecting the civilians; afterwards, he poisoned his own father and supported Marcel Apocalis, the son of his deceased eldest brother, to take the throne, starting a fourteen-year career of ruling behind the scenes.

And this Lisa is exactly the kind of expert at keeping men in suspense.

According to statistics, there were no less than a hundred men in the European upper class and the castle parliament who had ambiguous relationships with her. Multiplayer games in the name of private dances were held every few days, and there was an endless stream of guests.

She herself achieves various political goals by manipulating these men, and for this purpose she often forces Otto to use the mimic Black Abyss White Flower to help her stay tight.

"What is this? A hundred boyfriends who are super super super super into you?"

Fu Li couldn't help but complain: "Now all the birds are flying towards the seam."

"A hundred birds are heading towards the seam?"

Otto was stunned and didn't understand what this meant at first.

It was not until he reacted with the help of Xukong Wanzang's vocabulary that he had a look of both laughter and tears on his face.

"Man, people from your generation all spoke so... uh, humorously?"

"It still depends on the language. Without Level B language communication, it's difficult for foreigners to understand the words and sentences used in our great country."

Fu Li squinted his eyes: "Look at you, it took you a long time to figure out what I meant."

I would rather not react!

Otto complained bitterly in his heart, but the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

after a while.

“Hey hey hey chicken soup is here!!!”

Fu Li laughed and brought out the freshly cooked chicken soup. His devilish smile made Vera unconsciously retreat behind Kallen.

"No matter if it's chicken soup, duck soup, or any other soup, serve it to me quickly!"

The hungry saint didn't care about this. She reached out and took the pot and ate it.

When a person is about to die, his appetite becomes as big as a bucket. He who eats food is a hero. Karen immediately began to eat with a vengeance.

Fu Li didn't refuse, and she took the chicken soup and drank it all in one gulp.

The White-haired Saint smacked her lips: "Brother, this tastes wrong."

"Why can't you get used to Shenzhou cuisine?"

"Maybe? We ate very light food in Yaemura before."

Kallen didn't take it too seriously, following the etiquette of not talking while eating or sleeping, but Kuku was just showing off.

Soon, a sumptuous dinner was served on the table.

The other people sat down one after another and discussed many matters concerning the invasion of the Tianming headquarters during the meal.

"My personal suggestion is to invade tomorrow."

Otto began by stating his point: "Tomorrow is the traditional Pentecost of the Church. Following the failure of the Crusade, this festival has been designated as a large-scale festival for the sale of indulgences. The Death Knights, who normally guard the headquarters, will be dispersed throughout numerous towns and cities to maintain order. This makes it the most vulnerable time for an invasion."

Vienna, where Klostern is located, is the capital of the Holy Roman Empire, known as the heart of Europe. Even with the traffic standards of the Middle Ages, it would definitely be very lively at that time.

Fu Li agreed: "Knowledge gained from books is always shallow. History in books is definitely not as good as your own personal experience. I'll listen to you on this matter."

Giving him a grateful look, the man continued, "Besides that, I just contacted the underground forces that have been secretly resisting the Church through Void Myriad Treasures. I'm asking them to use this opportunity to stir up unrest and contain the War Knights stationed outside the city."

Where there is oppression there will naturally be resistance, and there are many people who are dissatisfied with the arbitrary taxation and plundering of fate.

Although the war knight Zofia was named after war, in essence he had always been disgusted with meaningless invasions and struggles, and would rarely kill protesters unless necessary.

"Ah, it was Zofia who arrested me in the Far East."

Kallen added: "S-class combat power, super powerful."

Being able to eat voraciously yet still speak clearly is probably a unique talent of foodies.

"Being able to contain her is a big help."

Fu Li had also heard of this man's name and had witnessed his battle with his own eyes.

Five hundred years later in the twenty-first century.

Unlike the Seven Swords of Taixu, which were obtained by the best and were essentially just titles, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse can essentially be regarded as a special professional inheritance.

After the previous Knight of War/Death/Famine/Plague dies, a round of selection will be held within the Order to select devout warriors who meet the corresponding characteristics.

After the selection, these warriors will undergo various training sessions of varying durations and in varying ways.

Until the best one is selected, he will go to the lowest level of destiny to take over the inheritance.

In the next hundred days, no matter what the recipient originally looked like, her appearance and figure will become exactly the same as the first generation War/Death/Famine/Plague Knight, and she will also gain all the memories and powers of the first generation.

Just like Incresine who appeared earlier, she exists in this era, and she will still be there five hundred years later.

The advantage of doing this is that it can ensure the inheritance of power. The strength of the first generation of War Knight and Death Knight are both S-level, and the other two are also at the peak of the critical level.

No matter how bad the situation is, the Church of Destiny can always maintain this bottom line, overcome difficulties and wait for a comeback in the future.

As for the shortcomings, there are none at the moment.

The inheritance will only obtain the memories of the first generation of knights, and the recipients have undergone layers of selection, which greatly avoids the occurrence of scenes such as memory confusion and split personality.

If one really wants to find fault, it is that it will become extremely difficult to improve one's strength after obtaining the inheritance, and at the same time, one's potential is locked, and at best one can only reach the top S level.

As a price to pay for reaching the sky in one step, it is quite reasonable.

"The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated."

Fu Li sighed, "The Four Horsemen's inheritance also requires going to the lowest level of Destiny. This makes me even more curious about what is hidden there."

There is definitely no such opportunity in reality, but I didn’t expect to be able to find out in the virtual space.

The boy, lost in thought, grabbed a chicken leg from the plate to fill his stomach, but when he stretched out his hand, he found nothing.

Looking at it in surprise, the busty saint who had just stuffed a big chicken leg into her mouth turned her head away with puffed cheeks.

Then I looked down at the table——

Good boy! After just a few words, there’s still one tenth left!

The wind and the remaining clouds!

Kallen: Very introverted. She won’t tell you when she’s full and will just keep eating.

Otto was well prepared for this. Not only was there some staple food like bread left on the plate in front of him, but his mouth had also been moving all the time while he was talking.

Seeing Fu Li's look of shock, he kept a straight face and expressionless, but he was laughing wildly in his heart.

Vera's delicate and lovely face showed an 'expected' look.

The little girl came close to the handsome boy who was older than her and took the initiative to share with him the extra portion she had taken.
