I am a Herrscher of Ice, and I am loved by players.

"How many times have I told you that minors are not allowed to drink alcohol?"

A woman's helpless voice came from the bar. Her words made Ji Zi slightly stunned.

Yes, she actually always forgot that as a destined S-class Valkyrie, Anna was very young, even too young.

Among her students at St. Freya Academy, Anna is only slightly older than Kiana. However, Anna is not a student, but a seasoned warrior. What exactly does Honkai bring?

"It's okay. I'm an adult now. Speaking of which, it seems like you didn't give me a birthday present either."

Anna knocked on the sandalwood counter and held out her hand.

The woman at the counter sighed and placed a plate of cake on the counter.

"Time is short, so I'll just treat you to some cake. Happy birthday."

As he spoke, there was a sound of glass clinking and a glass of brandy was brought up.

Anna naturally drank it all in one gulp, but it wasn't because she liked drinking, she just thought it looked cooler, and at the end, she smacked her lips.

“It doesn’t feel as good as black tea.”

“That’s what people who don’t understand wine say.”

"Maybe!"

Anna said casually, not taking it seriously, and then gestured, motioning Ji Zi to come over and sit down.

"Another rum bar, my lady is craving it."

The woman behind the counter raised her head and glanced at Ji Zi.

Ji Zi looked at her, and their eyes met. From those red eyes, Ji Zi felt a hint of indifference, and then murderous intent.

But Ji Zi knew that this murderous aura was not directed at herself, but at the guy in front of her, who was a veteran mercenary and had experienced many battles. She did not look very old, with short gray hair and wearing a waiter uniform.

If someone who doesn't know her sees her, they might think she's just a waitress.

"This lady of yours is no simple matter."

"She survived the same guy as you, and she defeated him head-on. How could it be easy?"

"Oh?"

After hearing this, the woman couldn't help but look at Ji Zi a few more times.

Then a glass of rum was quickly placed on the counter.

"Thank you."

The person who spoke was not Ji Zi, but the woman at the counter. Of course, Ji Zi had intended to thank her, but was a little confused by the other party's sudden thanks.

"This is Natasha Xiora, the queen of the mercenary world and a survivor of the Second Honkai. She was able to survive because of Lady Cecilia's holy blood and has a certain resistance to Honkai."

Seeing that Jizi had drunk some wine, Anna introduced her to him.

"Hello."

Natasha at the counter didn't look up, but quietly packed up the wine utensils.

"This is Himeko Muruta, the Valkyrie of Destiny, a former member of the Valkyrie Charge. Her teammates all died at the hands of the Second Herrscher. She later served as a teacher and instructor at Saint Freya Academy. Not long ago, she fought against the Herrscher of the Void alone and successfully sealed him."

"It turns out to be you."

Natasha raised her head and looked at Ji Zi with a hint of respect in her eyes.

"It was just a battle that was not very successful. I paid a heavy price for it. It's not worth mentioning."

Ji Zi waved her hand and didn't ask anything else. After all, Anna also said that this person was the mercenary queen and she was naturally well-informed about the news.

"We are old acquaintances, so tell us why you are here!"

Natasha turned her eyes to Anna who was eating cream cake with relish. She didn't like too much politeness and she also knew that Anna was a decisive person.

"Then just say it."

"I want to arrange a job for my comrade Ji Zi at your place."

"I don't lack people here..."

"you sure?"

Anna looked at Natasha with a smile, her light pink eyes flashing with a light that seemed to be able to see through everything.

"I heard that your island is gone. Those children are so pitiful..."

Anna couldn't help but sigh.

It is indeed a bit pitiful. Those children were found by Raven in the ruins of Changkong City. They are children with a certain degree of resistance to Honkai. Logically, they should be taken in by the Far East Branch, but everyone knows that the Far East Branch is unreliable.

In addition, these children also have some problems. That is, they are not awakened with complete stigmata, so they do not have the qualifications to become Valkyries, and it is also very difficult to train them.

In short, these children are definitely problem children, although this problem is not their character, but themselves. Out of love and her own past, Natasha adopted them, left supplies for them, and built a simple shelter for them in the ruins.

Originally, Natasha completed missions like crazy and saved a lot of money. She bought a small island and decorated it. In this way, she withdrew from the World Snake and wanted to bring the children to the island and live out their lives in peace.

However, she did not expect that the great destruction caused by the awakening of the Second Herrscher would directly trigger a tsunami, submerging her island.

With no other choice, she had to return here and also returned to the World Snake, and the children in Changkong City could only be settled there first.

"It just so happens that my comrade Ji Zi has just lost his job and is homeless."

"Our comrade Jizi is an excellent teacher at Saint Freya Academy. She is good at educating and training children. Moreover, she has outstanding combat power and can easily defeat lower-level Honkai beasts. Apart from her poor cooking skills and her love of drinking, there is nothing wrong with her!"

"How about, think about it?"

Anna said with a smile, her words were just like those profiteers in her previous life, but she did speak the truth and prescribed the right medicine.

Natasha really needs a teacher like this to take care of and protect those children. As for cooking, it is not a problem. The children can cook, and they also have supplies prepared by her.

As for drinking, that's easier said than done. She runs a pub. As long as drinking doesn't interfere with her work, she can drink as much as she wants!

Judging from Himeko's reputation, she would surely not be late in taking care of the children.

"You are so kind?"

Natasha looked at Anna suspiciously, a little bit incredulous.

"Hey, hey, hey, why can't I be so kind? Let me tell you, I am the saint of the Shaniyat family! My reputation is known throughout the world........."

"Yes, yes, a nice name, but you're a money-grubber, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are!"

"The controller of the Tianming Shanyiat Consortium actually knows this?"

Natasha pretended to be surprised, but her expression was full of sarcasm.

"Hey, you...Salt is..."

In order to prove that she was telling the truth, Anna actually quoted the prices of some daily necessities and even gave the name of the cheapest supplier. This move made Natasha look at her with admiration and dumbfounded.

Yes, the two words do not conflict.

She thought Anna was joking, but unexpectedly, Anna was serious!

"Okay, okay, stop reading it. I believe it."

Natasha finally stopped Anna's behavior. Although she had dealt with many children before, she was the only one that she couldn't deal with. She couldn't win over her through talking or beating her.

In fact, even if Anna lied to her, she could only accept it, because Anna was so strong.

"So, regarding salary......"

"You can talk to her, but the salary has to be paid into my account."

Anna said faintly.

"After all, even if you call her, she won't be able to spend money in that godforsaken place."

"........."

What she said made so much sense that I couldn't refute it!

Natasha said so in her heart.

Volume 1: Chapter 78 - The Possibility of Coming to the Present World

"Okay, we'll leave this respectable teacher to you."

Anna supported her head with one hand and smiled at Natasha.

"You talk like I'm some kind of commodity."

Ji Zi on the side started to complain, which helped to ease the atmosphere.

"How dare I treat you as a commodity? If Kiana knew about this, I'm afraid she would beat me so hard that I couldn't get out of bed."

Anna said pitifully.

"Well, that's not necessarily the case."

Jizi crossed her arms over her chest and pretended to be angry.

"Oh my, but I am indeed petite and fragile, so please don't bully me."

Anna still maintained that pitiful look, looking quite pitiful, but unfortunately, neither Natasha nor Jizi bought it.

"Come on!"

This time, Natasha and Ji Zi said the same thing at the same time, then looked at each other and laughed.

Anna looked at the two people with a smile. This scene made her feel happy. In a sense, the two people did have many similarities. However, it seemed that the two people should be able to get along well, so she felt relieved.

"Anyway, I'll leave Jizi to you. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Anna stood up, waved her hand, and walked towards the door. As the door of the tavern closed, Anna completely disappeared from their sight.

Natasha looked at Anna's departing back, took out a glass of absinthe juice that had been prepared long ago from the bar, added a few ice cubes, and savored it carefully.

"How much do you know about your student?"

Although he didn't look at Himeko, there was no doubt that these words were directed at Himeko.

"She is not my student at all. She is clearly my immediate superior."

Ji Zi spread her hands. Are you kidding me? Let Anna be her student? What can she teach? She is better than herself in terms of experience and ability. Even Theresa's strategic vision is not comparable.

"I don't know her well, I just know she's reliable, so I just need to trust her."

"so--"

Ji Zi turned her head and looked at the woman behind the counter again.

"You are also a reliable person."

"That's what she said."

"........"

Natasha opened her lips slightly. To be honest, the word "reliable" didn't seem like an evaluation that guy could give. When she was in World Snake before, she always complained about it and hardly heard any compliments from him.

And she actually told Ji Zi that she was reliable?

"If it was really reliable, I wouldn't be unable to protect my own assets."

Natasha said with some self-mockery.

"Unexpected events happen all the time, I understand."

Ji Zi didn't take Natasha's words to heart. To be fair, she was a reliable teacher. However, in the end, it still turned out like this.

It required his boss and colleagues to pay a lot of price to save him. Perhaps, in her eyes, he was not as reliable as Miss Natasha beside him.

"Also... another drink, boss."

.........

Just like that, Anna sent Ji Zi away, and she was relieved of a worry. But in this worry, Anna felt that she had nothing to do.

Kiana has the most reliable Red Kite Immortal in Shenzhou, and it’s not her turn yet. As for Haiyuan City... it’s too far away. Besides, I promised Gray Snake not to care about their business.

Of course, as a reward, she got the opportunity to meet the World Serpent Lord.

Of course, this reward was not a reward at all. Anna simply didn't want to get involved in the mess in Haiyuan City. She had just offended Cocolia and taken away the Gem of Desire. Given the style of that petty-minded bad woman, she would definitely not let this go easy on her.

Besides, Kevin's return was inevitable, even if the Desire Gems were here now.

Kevin just needs an anchor point that can let him know the anchor point of the intrinsic world. It is too easy to do this step. Those guys who like to jump around in the anti-entropy must have someone who wants to enter the quantum sea.
