Karin should be called the Great Sage of Settlement of Accounts by them behind her back.
The days passed peacefully. Kallen actively played the role of the justice messenger, the strange thief Ziyuan, while Li Mo served as logistics, making careful arrangements to prevent Kallen from leaving any handles.
Under Li Mo's coercion and inducement, most of the nobles chose to turn a blind eye and pretend to be angry to fulfill Karen's little wish.
The peaceful daily life ended when Kallen saw a noble from the Apokalis family robbing a commoner girl one day. So she did not follow Li Mo's plan to break into the Apokalis family's territory at night and take her out.
Just when he was feeling smug because he thought he had saved another person, Nicholas, the head of the Apokalys family, brought the girl to the territory of the Kaslana family and accused Kallen.
Even among the three great nobles, without the other party's consent, they would never easily set foot in each other's territory, let alone steal each other's property.
Kaslana was already in a weak position, and with this handle, the Apokalypses could take the opportunity to suppress her and seize Kaslana's few shops in Europe.
The expenses of soldiers are indispensable. Guarding cannot be achieved by just talking, but requires a real economic foundation.
The Kaslana family had already been tightening their belts in recent years, and with this incident, they would have to sell off their belongings...
But that would only be a temporary solution, not a cure. Over time, Kaslana would become a vassal and pawn of other nobles for financial support, losing its pure nature.
Kallen didn't know this, she didn't have the talent.
The family's financial situation has always been managed by Li Mo and his elders together.
Li Mo did manage to get some financial reserves outside the sight of the three nobles, but that was not presentable and at best could only sustain the food supplies for the members of the Kaslana family.
There is no other reason, the cost of purchasing and maintaining weapons and daily training is simply too high.
The only way to solve this problem is...
Compromise with reality and take advantage of each other.
Seize the era's emphasis on force and join the Apokalypso family.
Only in this way can the Apokalyps family avoid taking advantage of the opportunity to overthrow Kaslana.
The combat power of an S-class Valkyrie is much more valuable than several shops.
An S-rank Valkyrie could earn a fortune simply by leading a team to discover the remains of a former civilization and taking out any weapon from them. This was simply not something a few ordinary shops could compare to.
Not to mention the strategic value of the S-class Valkyrie.
On the day when the Apokalyps family was founded, many nobles gathered, including Kaslana.
On the stage, Nicholas, the head of the Apokalyps family, announced that the family would be welcoming a new member.
Everyone was very curious about what kind of talents the profit-seeking Apokalyps family would introduce and what kind of people they would be willing to introduce publicly at such an important festival.
When Li Mo walked in front of the crowd, they were speechless.
The air seemed to be stagnant. They were not unfamiliar with this outsider from Kaslana who had appeared in people's sight many times and had made great military achievements.
Why did Kaslana, who symbolizes chivalry, join the Apokalyps family, which has a merchant background?
"From this day forward, your name is: Otto Apokalis."
Nicholas' wrinkled old face was smiling brightly, and his smile became even brighter as he looked at the Kaslana family members gritting their teeth below the stage.
The Kaslana family has always been stubborn and is unwilling to betray the family no matter what treatment and compensation Apokalys offers.
But things are different now. Otto Kaslana, the second strongest fighter in Destiny, has changed his name and officially joined the Apokalis family.
This will greatly enhance Apokalis's reputation throughout Europe. Li Mo's joining will attract more talented people to join Apokalis and serve it.
Li Mo's betrayal caused the influence of the already weak Kaslana family to plummet, and it gradually became a tool of the Holy See and the Apokalypse family.
But, at least it's a living tool.
Nicholas valued him very much. When Li Mo served as a senior official in the Apokalypse family, he often used his power to obtain benefits and advantages for Kaslana.
In response, Nicholas did not point it out and chose to ignore it.
After all, having a weak spot makes it easier to control. Nicholas was worried because he didn't want anything.
Despite this, Kallen still broke with him and took the opposite path.
For her, she would rather die standing than kneel down and beg for survival in front of others.
Fate has Li Mo research the Black Box, hoping to extract even greater power from it. However, this plan is discovered by Kaslana, the family's strongest fighter. Taking advantage of her position and Li Mo's unpreparedness, Kallen approaches the Black Box to test whether it poses a threat to humanity.
"No need to test it. Once the contents come out, it will kill a lot of people. More than you can imagine. Perhaps even the Black Death, which killed a third of all Europeans, can't compare to it."
Li Mo did not hesitate and was as frank as ever, telling the conclusions he had drawn from his research on the black box.
After obtaining the Void Treasures, the records of previous civilizations suddenly appeared.
Herrscher, Collapse, and the End...
It's ridiculous. So far, humans are not even qualified to face the Herrscher, so how can they fight against Honkai and save the world... It's just a child's delusion.
Even the thirteen extraordinary, mysterious and powerful heroes of the previous civilization failed to do it.
How could two S-class Valkyries accomplish such an unfinished task?
"...What are you going to do?" Kallen's voice was not as gentle as usual. There was no expression on her face, and the words she spoke were only cold.
"Continue researching. I must come up with something to silence Nicholas and Bishop of Heaven's Fate."
"What if it fails? You know the stuff in here could kill a lot of people."
"I don't care..."
"Snapped!"
A loud slap echoed clearly in the laboratory. Li Mo tilted his head, his right cheek burning.
When he looked up, Kallen's eyes were already filled with tears. She pursed her lips and stared at him with disgust.
"You disappoint me so much! Otto! Kaslana is not afraid of power or death!"
After saying that, Kallen ran away holding the black box.
Li Mo did not stop him. He leaned against the wall and smiled silently. He took out the Void Wanzang Mimicking the Star of Eden.
"I am not afraid of power or death..."
"But I don't want you to die in vain. I hope you can lead your people to live more confidently and embody the spirit of Kaslana."
"Eden's Star, thirty times the gravity."
As Li Mo gave orders, the laboratory began to collapse. Li Mo was instantly crushed to the ground by the powerful gravity. His internal organs began to tremble and his blood pressure rose rapidly.
The wound that had been prepared long ago burst open, and blood oozed out from the wound and the corner of the mouth.
"stop."
Gravity returned to normal, and Li Mo stood tremblingly, holding onto the wall.
This way, there is an excuse for the black box being stolen.
He was defeated by Kallen and his black box was stolen.
"She will go to Shenzhou to seek help from the Red Kite Immortal. I just need to mislead the pursuing team a little bit to buy Kallen some time. With her speed, she should be able to escape easily."
"Cough...cough..."
Li Mo covered his mouth and coughed twice, then came to his senses and looked at his palm, only to see a large pool of black blood gathered in his palm.
"Karen, I hope you enjoy your journey. The ways of dealing with people that I taught you should come in handy."
"And... I sent someone to announce the news about the Saint. You should be very satisfied."
Li Mo smiled bitterly, sorted out the data in the laboratory, and staggered away.
Within the next year, he must immediately make achievements that satisfy Bishop Destiny and Nicholas, otherwise he will only face death.
The two of them are moving forward on their own paths.
Kallen went to Shenzhou to seek help from immortals and helped many people on the way to escape, most of whom were civilians who were also fleeing in Europe. As a result, the reputation of the righteous thief Ye Yuan became more and more prominent, and his fame spread to Vienna and the headquarters of Tianming.
(14) Judgment: Elegy for the Sinner
That was her proudest time, when she enjoyed the satisfaction brought by the fame of a phantom thief and a saint.
Li Mo worked day and night in the laboratory.
In order to give a satisfactory answer to the Church of Heaven and the Apokalis family as soon as possible, Li Mo worked all year round. When he felt sleepy, he would rest in the small room next to the laboratory and continue his research after waking up.
Is he gifted? I'm sure he is, but is he a genius? I'm afraid not.
Known as a genius inventor, he has only been able to reach where he is today with the help of the BUG-level knowledge repository, Xukong Wanzang. Without the ability of a genius, he can only make the efforts of an ordinary person.
Now, he has no one around him and nothing to worry about.
You can let go and do things that are not accepted by the world, or extreme things, such as human experiments.
A year later, Li Mo developed a drug that could effectively cure the Black Death and handed it over to Nicholas, who then presented it to the Vatican.
The Holy See issued the medicine in the name of the Holy See and did not mention Li Mo's name at all.
They said that we should be grateful and thank the Holy See for fighting the devil Satan and pulling the sick out of hell.
They said that one must know how to worship, respect and admire the members of the Holy See, and follow the leader.
They say that one should know how to give, not care about personal gains and losses, and work hard for half one's life for dreams and justice.
they said……
they said……
they said……
"The sinner Otto Apocalis stole the secret black box of Heaven's Mandate, causing the spread of the Black Death, insulted the nobility, assassinated the leader of Heaven's Mandate and the head of the Apocalis family, plundered the nobility's private property and slaves, and sent them away from Europe, among many other crimes..."
"Today, under the fair trial of the Holy See, he was sentenced to death!"
On a desolate day, human feelings are indifferent.
In the center of the square, a simple yet tall wooden platform stood alone, as if specially constructed for today's unfortunate victims. On it, Li Mo, bound tightly by thick iron chains, stood in tattered clothing. His face was streaked with dirt and blood, his eyes hollow. His long, tangled blond hair covered most of his face, yet it couldn't conceal a tenacity and loneliness unbecoming of this era.
Li Mo, covered in wounds, hung his head. After enduring all kinds of torture in the dungeon, he no longer had the strength to resist.
For him now, death is actually the best relief.
But... he still doesn't accept death.
because……
Li Mo raised his head with difficulty and scanned the crowd with blurry vision.
The sky always seemed to be covered with a light haze, and the sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, weakly and decadently onto the crowded market square.
There were a lot of people, but Li Mo could still see a street far away, where a ray of white was rushing towards him.
With the sound of heavy drums, the execution ceremony officially began. Members of the Vatican stepped forward and began to read the accusation filled with prejudice and lies. Every sentence was like a sword piercing Li Mo's heart.
Fortunately, Li Mo didn't care. He had long been disgusted with the hypocritical Church.
Reactions from the crowd varied. Some expressed disgust, believing that Li Mo deserved the punishment; others whispered, questioning and expressing their disbelief at the trial.
However, no matter how noisy the outside world was, Li Mo always maintained a strange calmness, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
The final verdict was pronounced, and a sharp silver sword pierced his throat.
Then the limbs, the heart...
However, Li Mo on the stage had already lost his vitality, and his eyes became cloudy and unfocused.
Karen rushed to the scene, only to see Li Mo's lifeless body riddled with holes.
"Ah..."
Kallen was almost speechless and stood there in a daze.
Time passed silently, most people in the square left, but Kallen still stood there without moving.
At this moment, she could no longer understand Li Mo.
He died, taking the warm and beautiful times of the past with him. From then on, she was the only one moving forward and no longer had the chance to understand Li Mo.
The dead are gone, but their thoughts remain forever.
Angry curses rang in their ears, and people praised the grace of the Church of Heaven for saving them from the despair of the Black Death.
But Kallen knew that the Black Death had always been Li Mo's research topic. Now, without any signature, it seemed that fate had appropriated his fame.
Finally, Kallen sees the children who grew up in the slums.
