Their commission was suspicious.

"Xiao Ou, um... uh, if it's alright, could you go to another world for a while?"

While Euthinus was lost in thought, Chen Luo came over.

"Hmm?" Euthinus frowned.

This matter is not simple.

Chen Luo rarely takes people to other worlds on his own initiative, especially powerful figures like Othinus who are strong enough to influence the development of the current world and cause serious damage.

Once this option appears, it means two things: either Chen Luo needs your help, or leaving is helping Chen Luo.

"Don't go."

"Free and unlimited golden roasted potatoes are available."

"Chen Luo, do you think I, Euthinus, am the kind of person who would be tempted by a golden baked potato?" Euthinus paused for a moment, then stared coldly at the person in front of him who seemed to have misunderstood him.

"..." Chen Luo glanced at the French fries that Othinus was still holding and shook his head.

"Of course not. I know you may not want to go to other worlds, but what if it's the golden version of the roasted potatoes made by the thousand hands of the Judah's Oath? And unlimited for 7 days."

“…Give me a real reason, and I will consider whether to agree to your conditions.”

"Actually... I just want to try my best and give Suigintou a few more sisters. But there's no rush, I can wait a few more days."

Good news: Through multiple time jumps, Chen Luo completed most of the exams for the Puppeteer profession certificate he obtained in the Abyss Passage. Chen Luo's puppetry skills have greatly improved, and he is expected to break through many of the puppetry's professional skills to the Grandmaster level in the near future.

Bad news: Chen Luo is likely to get beaten up by Othinus as soon as he goes to the world of A Certain Magical Index.

Chapter 1272 Mei is strong, so Mei won't cry...

Good news: Euthinus promised Chen Luo that he wouldn't join the angels in beating Chen Luo when Chen Luo was being beaten up.

Bad news: Euthinus is going to watch Chen Luo get beaten up by the angels.

"Are you crazy? What kind of conditions are these? You want me to notify you when I summon the angel, then let you witness the entire process of me being chased, and you even want the Judah Oath to be there to bake potatoes for you, and then let me take some time to turn the potatoes golden and give them to you... You might as well just kill me." Chen Luo said, sounding like he was giving up.

“What does it matter? I was just concerned for you as a friend, afraid that you would be killed by the angels,” Euthinus said.

"Are you afraid I won't be killed by the angels?"

"Fine, whatever you say, just agree. We won't sign any contracts. If you go back on your word, I'll lock you up on the third floor for three days."

"Hmph!" Euthinus snorted coldly, but did not refute.

Euthinus did not doubt Chen Luo's ability to do it.

The reason I lost to Chen Luo in the game of hide-and-seek was because Chen Luo used the Book of Friends to summon Othinus to the 3rd floor and then kept it locked up on the 3rd floor before I was able to catch Othinus.

If Euthinus himself didn't agree, Chen Luo might have found a spare moment to work hard and secretly complete it himself. But since Euthinus has already agreed, Chen Luo won't be polite if Euthinus goes back on his word.

After resolving the matter concerning Euthinus, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Suigintou doesn't seem particularly excited about having a younger sister, she doesn't get along well with the others. To keep Suigintou company, Chen Luo will have to create the other Rozen Maiden dolls as well.

If you really care about Suigintou, then don't make the remaining six Rose Dolls. Suigintou would rather have you all to herself than play with her sisters.

Although you now have more than one doll, isn't it true that you personally created and imbued Suigintou with a spirit?

"How could that be? I'm the creator of the mercury lamp. How could I not know what the mercury lamp is thinking?"

"You're just a puppeteer, what do you know about Suigintou?"

"Ahem, in short, it's really time to put the remaining rose dolls on the agenda. Even if it's just to give Suigintou some toys to play with when she's bored, it's time to put them on the agenda."

Younger siblings? Aren't they just toys?

Oh, there are no younger brothers in Rozen Maiden, only younger sisters.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't we go save Su now?" Thinking of the doll reminded Chen Luo of Sirin; thinking of Sirin reminded Chen Luo of the Second Herrscher; thinking of the Second Herrscher reminded Chen Luo of the Second Divine Key; and thinking of the Second Divine Key reminded Chen Luo of Su, who used it to observe numerous parallel worlds…

Sue is still on her way of observing countless worlds.

[Whatever makes you happy. If you're happy, what difference does it make when you save Su? Besides, the werewolf game in the Land of the Dead isn't over yet. Aren't you in a hurry?]

"What's the rush? The Golden Garden summer event hasn't even started yet, why rush to the Paradise of the Past?" Chen Luo's current focus has shifted to the dream world constructed by the Eighth Herrscher.

The Golden Garden was supposed to have thirteen guests, each corresponding to one of the thirteen heroes.

To maintain the purity of the Golden Garden, Chen Luo didn't even include himself in the series.

Chen Luo is just a nobody downstairs. What does Chen Luo know about Golden Garden?

Chen Luo's job is only to gather the thirteen heroes together. What kind of sparks they will create before they are fully familiar with each other is up to the thirteen heroes themselves.

It is precisely because this is a story created by the Thirteen Heroes themselves that Chen Luo is even more excited.

If the world hadn't collapsed, what kind of lives would the thirteen heroes have led?

However, Chen Luo inadvertently encountered a difficulty. While others might be corrupted by words, how could Chen Luo get Qian Jie to join this grand feast? Without Qian Jie as the chef, the Thirteen Golden Gardens wouldn't be perfect.

Chen Luo did leave Qian Jie a spare terminal so that Qian Jie could occasionally search for recipes, but that terminal doesn't seem to be powered on right now.

No, we need to have Aponia urge Qianjie to learn new cooking skills so that we can have a chance to legitimately pull Qianjie into the dream world.

Or, find another reason.

Moreover, Chen Luo's emphasis on this Golden Courtyard is not merely due to sentimentality.

Besides being able to farm the number of times he could become a shady merchant in this dream world, Chen Luo also needed the Golden Garden to help him achieve other goals, such as... making Su Guai Guai obey him.

Sue will soon become a Fusion Warrior, but once she does, her difficulty in dealing with opponents will increase significantly.

Chen Luo then decided to ask Su if he had any experience on how to threaten him.

Isn't this a bit inhumane?

That's asking as if Chen Luo had never been a human being.

“Durandal…” Chen Luo walked towards the St. Freya Academy camp.

"What's wrong, Master? Is something the matter?" Xiao You, who was engrossed in being surrounded by countless beautiful girls, still managed to steal a moment to give Chen Luo a perfunctory reply.

"I was calling Bianca." Chen Luo sat down between Bianca and Mei, then put his arm around Little Sirin, who was pointing at Kiana, and rubbed his face against hers.

“Xiao You, you’ve gotten used to being called that and to Chen Luo calling him that,” Bianca said, patting Xiao You’s head.

"I feel like there's something odd about the title 'Master'," Mei said, stroking her chin as she sat next to me.

"Or do you, Luo, prefer this strange style?"

"You can't say things like that. Xiao You calls me 'master' just out of habit. When all the other dolls around her call me that, it would seem out of place if she didn't." Chen Luo quickly shook his head.

"Mei, you know me. If I wanted to fool people, Kiana would be the one calling me master now."

"Hmm?" Kiana noticed something.

"Would you like another serving of fried chicken?" Chen Luo asked Kiana.

"Yes!" Kiana nodded and immediately gave up thinking.

"Do you understand...? Lolo, it's been a long time since you've been to St. Freya Academy. Even though we meet at the bar every day, it always feels like something's missing." Mei began to think.

“Is it because you don’t see Chen Luo all day except at the bar?” Bronya said.

"Yes, that's it."

“Okay, I admit I’ve been quite busy lately. My main focus right now is on the previous civilization, because only if the previous civilization remains intact will your current world remain safe. Although I could simply leave the previous civilization, I can’t ignore the billions of people still alive there.”

"To put it selfishly, I would say I'm unwilling to give up on these billions of potential believers..."

Although Chen Luo had always felt that the power of faith was not very useful, the fact that he turned all the people from the previous civilization into puppets did indeed bring such benefits.

“No, I believe that given your personality, Lolo, you definitely wouldn’t save the previous civilization for that reason. These past few days, I’ve gotten to know the other heroes in the Land of the Past, and through the scattered information they’ve shared, I’ve glimpsed a corner of the previous civilization… It truly was a time of despair.” Mei shook her head.

The more Mei and Kiana learned about the past of the Thirteen Heroes of the Paradise of the Past, the more melancholy they felt towards the previous civilization.

Therefore, Mei, Kiana, and Bronya all deeply understand why Chen Luo has basically stopped coming to the previous civilization.

Besides, what right do they have to make Chen Luo come all the way to St. Freya just for them?

"..." Chen Luo raised an eyebrow at the last sentence that appeared above Mei's head.

【How could I possibly deserve you coming all the way to St. Freya just for us? Mei is strong, so Mei won't cry...】

"???"

Chen Luo was taken aback by the sarcastic tone of the "humanized" plugin.

[But it's no problem, Mei is still young, Mei can wait, as long as Lolo occasionally thinks of me, and remembers that there was once a girl waiting for her Prince Charming to fall from the sky...]

"!!!"

Although Chen Luo felt he hadn't done anything to Mei, he couldn't hold back anymore when the humanized plugin added fuel to the fire.

"Alright, let's not talk about the ancient civilization for now. The main reason I came to see Durandal... Bianca is about the world bubble inside her," Chen Luo said, somewhat troubled.

As long as the topic of Chen Luo's long absence from St. Freya Academy wasn't brought up, the atmosphere at the table remained relatively normal. However, once that topic was touched upon, the atmosphere at the table began to turn strange.

"The problem with the world bubble? Lolo, do you have a solution now?" Upon hearing Chen Luo mention this matter, Durandal asked excitedly.

For Durandal, the World Bubble she carries within her body is her greatest pressure. After possessing this World Bubble, Durandal has no choice but to force herself to exert all her strength to move forward in this world.

Because if you relax even a little, there is a possibility of failure. If you fail or even die, the bubble of the world that you once shared everything with will also disappear.

When Durandal decided to reverse that world, she took on the fate of an entire world on her shoulders.

“Yes, this Stigmata contains the answers to all questions about the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of ​​Quanta. It can even turn your World Cannon into a real number world, but let’s leave that aside for now; those things are still too far removed from our reality,” Chen Luo said.

As long as you dare to "add money", not only can you turn the world bubble into a real world, but you can even make that world bubble replace the Honkai world as the intrinsic world without any problem.

But Chen Luo "couldn't afford it".

"Okay, let's put everything else aside for now. Go find something first."

"What is it?" Durandal asked.

"The Second Divine Key, the Thousand Realms Transmission! It's that locomotive. Speaking of which, do you have time to go to London recently?" Chen Luo asked.

“I haven’t had any holidays lately,” Durandal replied.

"Oh, then I'll approve a leave for you."

“But… never mind, it’s nothing.” Durandal was about to say that as the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, it wasn’t easy for her to ask for leave, but when she thought of Chen Luo now being the mastermind behind Schicksal, she gave up trying to persuade him.

However, before Durandal goes to find the second Divine Key, she will first eliminate the Honkai Beasts around the world.

Let's set a small goal first: eliminate one million Honkai Beasts!

"Did you send me to find the Second Divine Key so that I could find Su?" Durandal, who had been to Chen Luo's world before and was familiar with the plot, asked.

“That’s right. Before the problem of the world bubble is solved, you need to stabilize it. And then, that’s my job.”

"...Thank you." Seeing Chen Luo's expression, and knowing that what Chen Luo was about to do might not be as simple as he made it sound, Durandal didn't say anything more.

Rather than offering repeated thanks, Durandal prefers to give something tangible.

such as……

[Like herself. Okay, I'm just kidding.]

[Although it was a joke, you're definitely her top choice for a partner right now. After all, you're the only man her age around. Good luck!]

Chapter 1273 Eighth Herrscher Dream Game Test Code

Actually... there is a method in the Imaginary Number Stigmata that can fix the World Bubble without stabilizing it first, but Chen Luo did not reveal it, as he also had his own selfish reasons.

This selfish motive wasn't directed at Chen Luo.

Although the Honkai is no longer an invincible enemy, who can say what the future holds?

In case Durandal and the others face even stronger enemies in the future, Chen Luo naturally needs to prepare in advance.

Although Durandal felt that carrying the weight of an entire world was indeed a great burden, it must be said that the Undying Star Cat (Anchor) armor, once stabilized, was truly powerful.

Therefore, it doesn't make much difference to let Durandal use the World Bubble ability for free first, and then fix the World Bubble. In fact, this is beneficial to Durandal.

Durandal is like the chosen one of the planes who sends rare and precious materials everywhere.

Durandal has a lot of good stuff on her.

Leaving aside the untransferable talent that can be strengthened through hard work, the Sixth Divine Key, the World Bubble, and the Holy Sword Durandal alone are extremely rare treasures in the entire Honkai world.

In addition, the Path of Heavenly Origin was established here...
