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

Siegfried agreed without hesitation, so quickly that Anna was even a little stunned.

"Hey??? You trust me so much?"

"of course."

Siegfried said gently, and then scratched the back of his head with his only remaining right hand.

"You are Cecilia's child, and you still remember her. You are even willing to call me father-in-law. What reason do I have not to trust my child?"

Siegfried's frank and sincere words immediately made Anna blush.

This... Wow, she was still thinking about how to take down Bianca, but the father-in-law here chose to surrender directly? Although this father-in-law was of no particular use, this was too fast.

"Um....thank you!"

"Please wait a moment."

Anna said, raising the black abyss and white flower in her hand.

"I am the black from the abyss, I am the white from the sky, I was born before the creation of the world and will exist after the annihilation. I will give the water of the spring of life freely to the thirsty."

"God's Key, Black Abyss White Flower, Zeroth Rated Power——Heilge Lanze, die Welwitschie!"

A soft light emanated from the black abyss and white flower, shining into Siegfried's empty left sleeve. In the light, a brand new arm grew out.

Siegfried looked at the new arm with surprise in his eyes. He moved it a bit first, then quickly looked at Anna with worry in his eyes.

"Thank you, son...but...it won't affect you, will it?"

Although Anna seems to use the Black Abyss and White Flower with ease, in fact, controlling the Black Abyss and White Flower puts a huge burden on the Valkyrie, especially when she directly activates the rated power like Anna did.

You know, during the second collapse, Theresa would have been thrown off the plane directly after using Judas' rated power, which is conceivable.

"It doesn't matter. I have the same holy blood as my mother-in-law, and my recovery ability is also stronger."

Anna shook her head and smiled, but she still enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by her elders.

“Are you still getting used to it?”

"Haha, don't worry, I'm fine. The doctors from Anti-Entropy wanted to make a robotic arm for me before, but I refused."

After saying this, Siegfried moved his arms again.

"That's great, hahaha! I never thought that I would recover one day!"

Anna could feel that after his arm was restored, Siegfried's old age had faded a lot, and the wrinkles on his face had smoothed out a bit.

"That's good. I'll go in and find Fu Hua."

"Ah."

After making a gesture to Siegfried, Anna disappeared into the alley and soon appeared at the door of the stronghold. Without any hesitation, she pushed the door open.

The decoration inside the stronghold showed that this was indeed a tavern. There was no other person in the tavern except for one person sitting at the counter of the tavern and another person standing in front of the counter.

The person standing in front of the counter was undoubtedly Fu Hua.

Sitting at the counter was an A-rank Valkyrie from the Skyrim Central Intelligence Department, codenamed Wraith, or Ghost.

In addition, those in the Central Intelligence Department are like this, usually called by code names. In addition, there are actually many A-level Valkyries in Tianming, which is not very rare, but there are indeed few S-level ones.

Every S-class Valkyrie is of great combat significance and can be considered an anti-city weapon.

In addition, it is worth noting that at this moment, the ghost is dressed as Theresa, wearing ill-fitting clothes and has a very cute expression.

And the moment Anna pushed open the door, the ghost's attire changed, and Theresa's originally flat chest suddenly bulged.

"Look, look, the principal has grown a bunch of huge breasts—"

"It's not impossible for me to report to Lady Theresa if you need me to, Ghost."

Anna closed the door casually, with a warm smile on her face, and said slowly that it was not that she could not accept Theresa with big breasts, but... this was somewhat strange.

And...damn, the bulge is too big. When doing something like this, it should at least be reasonable!

"Uh... Lady Anna!?"

Seeing Anna's appearance, the ghost, who had been cheerful, suddenly changed his expression. His appearance was somewhat similar to Theresa who had made a mistake. It can only be said that the ghost's transformation technique was indeed very vivid.

As for why Ghost knows Anna...there is actually nothing much to say. Ghost has a base here, and this place happens to be the area where Anna's mission is carried out.

Naturally, the ghost also has a request to serve Anna.

However, she really didn't expect that Anna would appear here now. It was said that Anna was sent to the Far East Branch before and was the most trusted subordinate of Bishop Otto. She was also valued by Lady Theresa...

The ghost suddenly felt that he was finished.

If Lady Theresa and the Bishop knew how extravagant I was being, my career would be over, right?

"Lady Anna! I'm sorry! Please forgive me!"

The ghost kept apologizing, and Fu Hua on the side looked at her with some surprise. She was familiar with Anna and knew that although Anna liked to act weird sometimes, she had a good personality, was kind and easy-going, and there was no need for her to be like this.

However, Fu Hua naturally chose to respect other people's choices and habits.

"You want me not to tell the Bishop and Lady Theresa...Okay."

"As long as you agree to one condition of mine!"

"What conditions?"

The ghost suddenly felt as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"You turn into Yulandel, and then let me touch you."

As she spoke, Anna narrowed her eyes and a kinder smile appeared on her face.

Seeing Anna like this, the ghost shuddered. Even though she looked a little pitiful, she had no choice but to do as she was told. Soon, the ghost turned into Bianca's appearance.

Anna looked her up and down, and then - took action.

"You're not right! Bianca's breasts aren't as big as yours!"

"And your arms, with their thin arms and legs, are so fake!"

"That expression! Can you be a little more professional?"

"Too bad, too bad, I have doubts about your ability as an A-rank Valkyrie!"

Finally, Anna gave her own evaluation very seriously.

But the ghost felt like crying but had no tears.

"Wow, Lady Anna, most people don't remember it so clearly and know so much."

"So, you can't deceive or attract Fu Hua. That's your problem."

Anna said bluntly, scolding the ghost harshly.

"Okay, let's put your affairs aside for now."

After saying that, Anna turned her gaze to Fu Hua.

"An old friend is waiting for you outside. Change your clothes and go meet him. Don't keep him waiting too long."

Fu Hua blinked, a little confused, but looking at Anna's expression, she didn't look like she was lying.

"There's a set of clothes in the back room that's convenient for combat, though it's not as good as the Valkyrie armor."

After hearing Anna's words, the ghost seemed to have found an opportunity to show off. He quickly raised his head and spoke loudly.

"You don't want to carry out the mission in this state, do you?"

Anna looked at Fu Hua, who was wearing a loose security uniform, and shook her head with an ambiguous look in her eyes.

"Go quickly. I'll feel bad if others see you naked, Fu Hua."

Fu Hua nodded, but for some reason, she always felt that Anna's words were a little strange.

Volume 1: Chapter 81 - The deal with Siegfried, Anna's promise

However, Fu Hua still did it.

Looking at Fu Hua's departing back, Anna had a faint smile on her lips.

"She is very strong-willed, and she is strong for the people, so if you can, help her as much as possible. You don't need to consider my mission."

Anna said, picking up a bottle of wine from the counter.

"Yes, Lady Anna."

The ghost said respectfully, and he also had a feeling of awe for Anna. For an intelligence department like hers, although under normal circumstances, the base was very important and could not be abandoned.

But if someone with higher authority requests it, we can abandon our base and make our best effort.

Here, Fu Hua has the authority, but it is not enough because Anna is also active and carrying out tasks in this area. Therefore, Anna's decision means that Ghost can fully cooperate with Fu Hua's mission.

The two of them are old partners and old friends. They know each other's temperament and habits, so Ghost naturally doesn't want anything to happen to her.

"How about you, Lady Anna?"

The ghost's eyes showed doubt and worry. The mission level and requirements sent by Bishop Otto clearly showed that Lady Anna's mission was more dangerous and more important.

"It's okay. I'm familiar with this area and don't need your support."

Anna waved her hand. At the same time, Fu Hua also walked out, having changed into a neat combat uniform. Although it was called a combat uniform, it was actually similar to casual wear, and only had a slight defensive effect.

But Anna and Ghost both knew that Fu Hua didn't need any so-called defense. Ordinary attacks could not hit her, and her physique as a fusion warrior also allowed her to ignore many attacks.

"Let's go!"

Fu Hua said to Anna in a deep voice.

Anna nodded and led the way, only taking two bottles of wine from the ghost counter. In addition, it is worth mentioning that although there is funding for the construction of this base, the purchase of these wines is generally paid for by the Valkyrie herself.

So, Anna was actually taking away the ghost's property.

However, perhaps because he was frightened before, the ghost did not notice that Anna took away two bottles of wine. Of course, it is also possible that he was just angry but dared not say anything.

And when they went out, Anna casually put away a bottle of wine.

If it is for my father-in-law, one bottle is enough. It is inconvenient for him to carry more. And I will keep this bottle as a gift for Raven. After all, that guy likes to drink.

As for the wool-pulling, how can it be called wool-pulling? This is clearly hush money and protection money. Not to mention what will happen if she tells Theresa and Otto about the ghost's transformation, if Fu Hua and Siegfried fight, she will lose her base.

I just took two bottles of wine from her as a favor, which was nothing.

At least, she saved the tavern and her salary. What? You said Fu Hua wouldn't fight with Siegfried? Come on, then wouldn't she use Yu Duchen? Wouldn't this also protect Fu Hua?

"The friend you are talking about is......"

Fu Hua had just opened her mouth when she was attracted by the surging Honkai energy in front of her. There stood a silver-haired man. His aura was so powerful and terrifying that Fu Hua also felt threatened.

This kind of threat is different from Anna's. Anna is persistent and a more difficult opponent, but the one in front of him is aggressive and fiery. A fight will definitely result in mutual losses.

"Father-in-law! Go on!"

Anna strode towards Siegfried and threw the wine in her hand to him.

Siegfried reached out to take it, without any further politeness, he took it and poured it into his mouth as if he was drinking water, and in a few gulps the whole bottle of rum was empty.

"You're taking so long, Anna."

After finishing the drink, the man generously touched the wine at the corner of his mouth, then threw the bottle casually on the ground in the distance.

Anna silently mourned for the city's cleaning staff in her heart, and then smiled.

"Fu Hua needed to change clothes, so she was delayed."

"Fu Hua, this person, I don't think I need to introduce her too much, right?"

Although she said no introductions, Anna still said it with a smile.

"My father-in-law!"

He does not mean that.

Fu Hua looked Siegfried in front of her up and down, then looked at Anna beside her, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Fu Hua had no recollection of the mess Otto had made during the second Honkai Impact. She didn't know that the real Kiana was Bianca, she only knew that the current Kiana was a fake.

So she thought back to the relationship between Anna and Kiana... Well, although it was a little strange, it was not incomprehensible, but she always felt something was wrong.

If it was really Kiana, Ana's performance would be too uncompetitive, but if it wasn't, then...

"Hello, Mr. Siegfried."

"However, this is not the place you should come to. As one of the three wanted targets by Bishop Otto himself, your head is very valuable."
