Their commission was suspicious.

"what happened?"

“Otto is about to begin the second Divine Key test, so I’m inviting you to come and take a look,” Durandal said.

"Oh, we're going to see Su, right? Let's go. Yakumo Yukari, see you tonight." Chen Luo shook off Yakumo Yukari and left with his arm around Durandal's shoulder.

"Sigh, this man changes female companions faster than he changes clothes."

Chapter 1647 Chen Luo: You're telling me this is the figure of a 16-year-old (Yulandel)?

For the past 4500 years, the Second Divine Key has been used to observe other parallel worlds on the Imaginary Tree. What is prosperous must decline; once-glorious civilizations will eventually wither. The answer hidden within the Second Divine Key is slowly surfacing…

“…” Durandal’s eyes occasionally glanced at Chen Luo, who was slowly reciting his monologue beside her.

Are you sick in the head?

"Why are you looking at me like that? Shouldn't we commemorate this exciting day?" Chen Luo retorted without backing down.

"But don't you possess the powers of the Second Herrscher? Since you're so interested in the world bubble where Su is, why don't you go find it yourself? Why do you have to wait for the Second Divine Key to pave the way for you?" Durandal asked.

Durandal was one of the first people in the Honkai world to know Chen Luo's origins and information about the Honkai world... except for Xiao Shi.

Chen Luo's encounter with Durandal was legendary. If Durandal had punched Chen Luo back then, he probably wouldn't have been able to even leave with a whole corpse, let alone cry out in pain.

Fortunately, Durandal only wanted to capture Chen Luo at the time, and Chen Luo was lucky enough to draw a 5-star item, the Teleportation Anchor Point.

In addition, he had a Kiana tracking charm that allowed him to kite Durandal back and forth; otherwise, he would have been captured long ago.

Durandal knew a great deal, including that using the Second Divine Key would transport her to the world bubble—the Sumeru Mustard Seed—created by Su, the forerunner of the previous civilization.

The Second Divine Key can observe countless parallel worlds, but the Second Divine Key found by Durandal and Li Sushang in London has only one ability: to open a portal to the Sumeru Mustard Seed.

The Second Divine Key, which could originally traverse countless parallel worlds, has had its passage fixed.

“I do possess the powers of the Second Herrscher, but I cannot find the coordinates to reach the Sumeru Mustard Seed,” Chen Luo replied.

The library's ability isn't insufficient to find the exact coordinates of the Sumeru Meson from Secretary Akasha, but with such a large and special teleportation point as the Second Divine Key right here, why would Chen Luo ask about the Book of Akasha?

[Was it really not because you were scared off by being told that searching for the Book of Akasha would take 1 to 256 hours?]

"..."

Chen Luo admitted that this was indeed part of the reason.

Just as Chen Luo could never guess when he would achieve a great success in persuasion, he also couldn't guess when he would avoid a major failure at the library.

When Chen Luo used the library ability, his luck was the exact opposite of when he used persuasion; his luck was unimaginably bad.

Chen Luo also tried searching the Book of Akasha without using his library abilities, and instead searched the real library.

Chen Luo tried it out in the underground library of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and found that the upper limit of the search time after using the library was related to the size of the library itself, the difficulty of the search, the amount of information required, and whether the book owner welcomed the search.

Using his library abilities to search the first few entries of the Book of Akasha should not be affected, but the last one is beyond Chen Luo's control.

The Book of Akasha is a book that records everything; it is a tool belonging to the world.

Therefore, when Chen Luo searches the Book of Akasha, he will definitely be able to find what he wants, but how long it will take depends on the whims of the world's consciousness.

Stop making excuses for your bad luck. The world's consciousness can only determine the maximum duration; whose fault is it if you're just unlucky?

"..."

The humanized plugin is actually right; the world's consciousness really can't control how many points Chen Luo can roll when using the library ability.

Chen Luo actually doubted whether his luck in the library was guaranteed.

The fact that something can be found in less than a second is simply because the time limit is only one second.

As for the special world bubble called Sumeru Meson, the world consciousness seems to not want Chen Luo to know about it, so the maximum limit for querying it is very high, so high that Chen Luo dares not query it.

Looking back now, the value of the Sumeru Mustard Seed world bubble itself was at most 72 hours. The reason it was extended to 256 hours was probably because of Kevin, the agent who stayed in the Sumeru Mustard Seed.

In fact, after obtaining the second Divine Key, Chen Luo could immediately open the Imaginary Portal to Sumeru Zi, or use the summoning ability of the Book of Friends to summon Su directly and have him take him to Sumeru Zi.

However, the current timeline for obtaining the second Divine Key is more than a year earlier than the original storyline, so there is still a year before Su Shou dies, so there is no rush.

besides……

"Are you nervous?" Chen Luo asked, standing beside Youlandel.

"Yes. Some." Durandal nodded.

"Don't worry, Su is a very easy person to talk to."

"But after Kevin becomes the proxy, is it really necessary for Su Zhen to give me the Sumeru Mesa? If I don't get the Sumeru Mesa, what about the world bubble inside me..." Durandal began to ponder.

Durandal is a little nervous now because Chen Luo said that as long as Durandal can obtain the Sumeru Mustard Seed, he can start helping Durandal hang the world bubble in her body on the Imaginary Tree.

Because the world bubble within Durandal had lost its foundation, the only way for it to survive in the Sea of ​​Quanta was to revert the entire world bubble back into Durandal's body.

Such a special opportunity has never occurred even in the thousands of years of the Honkai world, and the power of the World Bubble has greatly helped Durandal.

However, Durandal herself has always been somewhat worried about this power. It's not that she's worried that this power will harm her, but rather that if Durandal dies, wouldn't she be dragging countless friends in the world with her?

With this worry in mind, Durandal never dared to stop training in the past.

Durandal had also read the spin-off comics about Honkai Impact 3rd and knew that in the original timeline, Su would help Durandal stabilize the World Bubble, but now Kevin has become her proxy.

Therefore, it is actually quite likely that Sue will not choose to help Durandal.

"Don't worry, even if Su doesn't help you, there are still solutions. Actually, I can help you reattach the world bubble within your body to the Imaginary Number Tree right now. Whether or not you have the Sumeru Mustard Seed, the only difference is whether you have to pay a higher price," Chen Luo comforted him.

Now, Durandal has a sister, a house, and her parents are both busy; she lives a happy and fulfilling life.

The only worry is that this world is gone, which is probably the last big commission Chen Luo was able to get from Durandal.

“Although you’ve never said what price you’ll have to pay, it must be quite a lot, right? I feel a bit unworthy of it, so I’ll try my best to do it myself first,” Durandal said, shaking her head.

In fact, according to the original storyline, if Otto continued his research on the Imaginary Tree, he could have changed Durandal's current predicament where the world bubble would perish if she died.

The world bubble will only disappear when all those who have become recognized by the world bubble (Durandal and Rita) die.

"You don't need to worry about this at all. Anyway, you already owe me a lot, so owing me a little more won't be a big problem," Chen Luo comforted Youlandail.

"..." Yulandel knew Chen Luo was telling the truth, but she still felt something was off.

Are you really trying to comfort me?

"Alright, don't think about it so much. Everyone else has placed too many expectations on you, unlike me. I only feel sorry for my sister."

"...You are older than me."

"Oh, right, you're only 16, aren't you?" Chen Luo looked Yulandel up and down, his tone inevitably carrying a hint of disbelief.

You're telling me this is 16 years old?

"Where are you looking?" Durandal glared at Chen Luo.

"Ahem, I was thinking about the Sumeru molecule." Chen Luo would never admit that he had just been slightly shocked.

"I'll need your help then. I hope Pioneer Su will agree to let me take the silver Sumeru Coin with me." Durandal sighed.

On one hand, there's Chen Luo, who already owes a lot, and without the Sumeru Mustard Seed, he would have to pay an even greater price. On the other hand, there's Su, whom he doesn't even know, who insists on asking for her precious item (the Sumeru Mustard Seed). In the end, Youlandel chooses to refuse both!

If Durandal only needed to pay a higher price to hang the world bubble on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, she would not have chosen to accept the Sumeru Mustard Seed and would have borne the cost herself. However, it was Chen Luo who had to bear these higher costs.

However, Sue did not have an absolute reason to give Durandal the Sumeru Mustard Seed, so Durandal chose the silver one and was willing to pay a price.

In fact, Durandal did not want a higher-level Sumeru Mustard Seed; Durandal just wanted the original body. However, Durandal felt that the original Sumeru Mustard Seed might have special significance for Su.

I didn't really want to trouble Chen Luo, but in the end I still had to ask him to summon a new Sumeru Mustard Seed.

Ultimately, he still couldn't escape the vicious cycle of needing Chen Luo's help.

But just as Chen Luo said, Youlandail already owed Chen Luo quite a lot, so having more debts is nothing to worry about.

Speaking of which, after this matter is over, should we try to make it up to Chen Luo?

It seems like Chen Luo's birthday is coming up soon, right?

"Chen...Chen Luo?" Durandal was just about to discuss with Chen Luo what kind of help he needed, such as killing 100 million Honkai Beasts, when she turned around and Chen Luo was nowhere to be seen.

"Su Chang, have you grown taller again?"

"Is that Mr. Guardian Spirit? He hasn't grown taller, but he might have gained some weight. After all, he's been drinking too much milk tea lately. Looks like he'll have to exercise more for a while."

"..." Yulandel narrowed her eyes as she watched Chen Luo, who had just gained some favor with her, run off to another girl.

Should we... find Chen Luo some work to do?

Chapter 1648 Durandal: Chen Luo, are you confident you can help me put on the Valkyrie armor?

"...Why do I have to help you put on the armor? Can't you put it on yourself?" Chen Luo pouted.

“Yes, but it’s unnecessary.” Durandal glanced at Chen Luo.

It's all to give you something to do, so you don't end up patting every Valkyrie's butt in the entire Schicksal Headquarters.

The last person to be rumored to be involved in this incident was Durandal's father, Siegfried.

But Siegfried later explained in every way that he really did not do that, and that it was all a rumor spread by Shigure Kira!

"If that's your point of view, then I can only say that there's really no need for you to wear this armor. After all, this trip isn't about fighting, it's just about visiting an old friend and incidentally getting you a cheat code." Chen Luo said to Durandal after putting the last module of her Moonlit Armor on her.

Chen Luo actually thought that the casual clothes that Yulan Dale wore when she came to the bar to find him were quite nice.

Especially Durandal's single ponytail.

“That won’t do. After all, she’s a senior. We can’t just visit her in our training clothes,” Durandal said, shaking her head.

"Whatever makes you happy. By the way, do you want me to help you upgrade your Moon Soul Armor?" Chen Luo asked.

"Will the Valkyrie armor's appearance change after the upgrade?"

"There may be some minor adjustments."

"Are you confident you can help me put on the new Valkyrie armor?"

“…Never mind, this suit of armor is good enough for you anyway. I’ll upgrade it for you later. Or I can just upgrade the suit of armor that I created using the power of the World Bubble,” Chen Luo said.

"After the World Bubble is reattached to the Imaginary Tree, will I still be able to use its power?" Durandal asked.

Durandal wasn't reluctant; more than the power she could gain, she hoped that the world bubble would be safe. Durandal was simply asking a question.

Durandal is truly the protagonist of Destiny. Not only is she the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, but she also enjoys all the privileges that a protagonist should have.

Including but not limited to being an orphan from a young age, having the talent to become stronger through hard work, being a stigmata holder, the power of the Heavenly Origin, the power of the World Bubble, the Holy Sword Durandal, the Sixth Divine Key Black Source White Flower...

Therefore, the power of the World Bubble is not something that Durandal cannot accept if she loses it.

"Okay," Chen Luo nodded.

Or perhaps the golden Sumeru spore was originally prepared by Chen Luo for Durandal so that she could better utilize the power of the World Bubble.

Chen Luo did not tell Youlandel the truth.

From the very beginning, Chen Luo had no fewer than 10 ways to help Durandal stabilize the bubble within her body, knowledge he had acquired from the Imaginary Tree Stigmata.

Although not all of these methods can be used by Chen Luo, several are indeed highly feasible, especially after Chen Luo possesses the aura of the origin, making the problem much easier to solve.

Sumeru particles do indeed offer some help in stabilizing the world bubble, but the difference lies in whether Chen Luo sacrifices ten strands of root essence or nine strands of root essence in order to solve the problem more quickly.

Moreover, this is simply leaving everything to the source aura; if Chen Luo were to intervene, the consumption would be even less.

Given that a wisp of primordial aura is worth around 20 raw stones, Chen Luo will most likely take action personally.

Therefore, the role of the Sumerian meson in hanging the stable world bubble on the tree of imaginary numbers was not as significant as Durandal had imagined.

Chen Luo wanted the golden Sumeru Mustard Seed only so that Durandal could still borrow the power of that world when the world bubble gradually transformed into a real world.

After the world bubble transforms into the real world, it becomes more difficult to borrow its power, so it requires a Sumeru mustard seed, specifically a golden Sumeru mustard seed; a silver one will not suffice.

In short, obtaining the Sumeru meson would be more beneficial to Durandal than to that world bubble.

Anyway, Sumi is not that important to Su, and Chen Luo only wants the golden one, so it's fine.

Brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes...

I've seen people missing arms and legs, but who's ever seen someone running around naked?

Well, the main problem is that the Sumeru Mustard Seed isn't very effective for Su.

Of course, finding Su is also very necessary, because the second Divine Key currently placed at the Destiny Headquarters is not complete, and a part of it is still in Kevin's hands. Chen Luo forgot to ask for it after summoning Kevin last time.
