Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

"cough……"

Being offended by this rebellious girl in front of him, Siegfried couldn't help but cough to hide his embarrassment. He didn't look at Kiana's little eyes, but turned his gaze to Gwyn, only to see Gwyn also looking at him with a smile.

Trying hard to ignore the smile on Gwyn's face, Siegfried expressed his feelings:

"It's true that the young are formidable. They already have such strength at such a young age.

When I was your age, I was probably about the same as Kiana..."

"Damn dad!"

Kiana, who was smiling just now, frowned and pouted in dissatisfaction when she heard this.

"What do you mean, almost the same as me?

Am I bad?

"Ha ha……"

Siegfried, who had only been able to observe and protect Kiana in secret for several years, couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw the girl's appearance.

"Kiana, you're certainly not bad. After all, with just my sporadic and incomplete teaching, you've already mastered the basics of the Kaslana family's spear fighting technique.

But humans can't compare with monsters."

"Say less..."

Gwyn had no objection to Siegfried calling him a monster, but Siegfried's loud laughter unconsciously stirred up the gradually calming Honkai energy in his body, so Gwyn had to ask him to be quiet for the time being.

"The Honkai energy that's running rampant in you hasn't been sorted out yet."

"it is good."

Hearing this, Siegfried stopped talking and fell silent.

Seeing this, Kiana calmed down temporarily and turned her gaze to Gwen who was treating her stinky father.

"Gwen, are you okay?"

"Do I look like I'm in trouble?"

Gwyn smiled when he heard this. One hand was still on Siegfried to help him sort out the Honkai energy, while the other hand was waving the Skyfire Greatsword and making a sword flower. A little firelight flickered, which was particularly eye-catching in the night. It reflected a bright red on the faces of several people, and even reflected a hint of gold in Kiana's eyes.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."

For some reason, Kiana suddenly felt that her thoughts were a little stagnant and nodded, but her words lacked some of the agility she had just had.

However, at this moment, Gwen did not notice these slight abnormalities in Kiana. His movements seemed casual, but he was carefully controlling the temperature of the Skyfire Greatsword in his hand.

It should be noted that in the history of the Kaslana family, many patriarchs died in battle, and the cause of death was this Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire—

When this divine key, which is completely dedicated to power, reveals its true face, the flames of judgment will certainly turn all the Honkai beasts or dead soldiers that are beyond human control into ashes, but those who use it will also turn into charcoal under the extremely high temperature.

Five hundred years ago, Kallen's father, Francesca Slana, Otto's childhood idol, was like this—

Although Kevin's ultra-low temperature gene, which was enough to withstand the high temperature of the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, was inherited, it did not show corresponding characteristics in his descendants.

Only Siegfried, with the help of the super-mutating factor and Kevin, was able to express this gene, thus avoiding the fate of dying in the high temperature after using the Skyfire once.

As for the annihilation form above, the Houkai energy supplied by the user's second Herrscher core is not something Siegfried can provide, so naturally there is no chance of harming Siegfried's life.

However, at this moment, the destructive flames did not appear on the Judgment of Heavenly Fire in Gwyn's hand. It even only gave Kiana and the other two a faint sense of warmth, but not the fatal high temperature. This was the result of his efforts to control it.

After all, one of the only two light and shadow stones in Gwyn's hands was a fire shadow stone.

Although the true power of the Herrscher core in the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire is not simply fire, the fire of the Hokage Stone is also just a manifestation of its power.

The insights that Gwen had gained from his previous experience in the illusion of the Scarlet Prison Pill came in handy at this moment. He suppressed the high temperature in the Judgment of Skyfire, leaving only a few people around him feeling warm in the night breeze.

Kiana, who was worried about her father, and Mei Raiden, who didn't know much about the Skyfire Judgment, didn't notice this. However, Ryuma Raiden felt something in his heart when he saw the Skyfire Greatsword, which looked as harmless as a child's toy in Gwyn's hand. Recalling the information he had seen, his gaze towards Gwyn changed slightly again.

Although he had not studied the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, Lei Dian Long Ma had read Walter's oral description and related documents unearthed from previous civilizations.

The comparison between the two made Raiden Ryuma feel horrified and he unconsciously agreed with Siegfried's evaluation of "monster".

At the same time, Thunder Dragon Horse was also curious, but because this was Siegfried's weapon after all and was still in Gwyn's hands, Thunder Dragon Horse didn't dare to ask any questions.

However, Raiden Ryuma had some concerns, but Siegfried didn't have to worry about them.

When Gwyn withdrew his hand, Siegfried, who had also been gazing at the Fire Judge for a long time, asked impatiently:

"how did you do it?

How could you hold this great sword and still maintain the same body temperature?"

At first Siegfried didn't notice it, but after noticing that his good daughter moved closer to the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire and nothing unusual happened, he finally noticed something was wrong with the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire.

Although it maintained the shape of a greatsword, it did not emit the terrifying high temperature that could turn a person into ashes.

"Just a little trick and a lot of strength."

Gwyn smiled and swung the Skyfire Greatsword across the two of them, allowing Siegfried to feel the difference firsthand.

"..."

However, Siegfried did not touch it, nor did he try to take back this old friend that had been with him for more than ten years. He just stared at it silently for a long time, and suddenly let out a long sigh -

"call……

It seems that you are his destined comrade-in-arms..."

Siegfried reluctantly turned his gaze away from the Skyfire Greatsword, a smile appearing on his face.

"Since you have become the head of the Kaslana family, you should take this ancestral Holy Fire Judgment back with you. This will legitimize your position and help restore the family's reputation."

Chapter 293 Siegfried’s concerns and instructions.

"Ah……"

Hearing this, Gwyn put down the Judgment of Skyfire, chuckled, and shook his head slightly.

"Kaslana's bloodline has been passed down through the ages. A family will not prosper simply because of this name, nor will its life plummet if it loses it.

For the vast majority of people, the so-called family is more of a constraint.

For those who just want to live a good life, family is more like a mountain weighing down their heads.

And those who are talented and ambitious will naturally not be buried in this era.

I will bring the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire back with me and erase the old scores. As for the family...

As long as Kaslana's bloodline remains intact and there are still people fighting on the battlefield against the Honkai, then it doesn't matter whether there's a family or not, right?"

"...

Ha ha……"

Hearing this, Siegfried was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"I've lived for so many years, but I don't see things as clearly as you do..."

Siegfried was also a character who ran away from home in the past. He immediately understood the meaning of Gwyn's words, but after laughing, he also showed a bit of loneliness -

"That's fine, but without that atmosphere, the new generation will ultimately have fewer opportunities to embark on this path."

"That's not a problem. After all, over the past few decades, geniuses have gradually emerged among the general public. Humanity has become much less dependent on special families like Kaslana and Shaniyat, and there's no need to force those less talented members of the clan to fight for their lives anymore...

They have contributed to this world for hundreds of years, generation after generation, and it is time for them to take a break."

Gwen shook his head and spoke casually, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

“Moreover, the tide of the times is destined to fall upon us.

If we succeed, the threat of collapse will cease to exist; if we fail, even if we have a few more ordinary soldiers, it won't be of much use. It's better to let them live a few more days in peace..."

Gwyn's tone was not excited, but his calm words revealed a sense of dominance that no one else could do it better than him. Siegfried and Raiden Ryuma, two middle-aged men who had experienced many things in life, were both moved.

"call……"

After a moment, Thunder Ryuma came back to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief, a smile suddenly appearing on his serious face.

"I'm starting to believe what you said about seeing the future..."

After all, a person who is full of lies will not have such an attitude of being the best.

"Because your leader won't be deceived by a liar?"

Upon hearing this, Gwyn stopped looking up at the bright moon and looked at the old... gentleman who had a stern face most of the time since they met.

"No..."

Thunder Dragon Horse shook his head and looked at the calm and confident Gwyn with a gentle smile.

"But someone like you, who has the aura of a great man at such a young age, shouldn't be the type to speak nonsense."

Of course, Walter Yang's trust is also one of the reasons.

"Uncle, you are too kind."

Although he was somewhat puzzled as to why Thunder Dragon Horse's attitude had changed so drastically, Gwyn still humbly agreed and immediately brought the topic back to the right path.

"Now that the gambling fight is over, you two shouldn't continue to stop Kiana and Mei from staying, right?"

"..."

When they suddenly heard this question, even though Siegfried and Raiden Ryuma were mentally prepared, they still fell silent.

Finally, it was Siegfried who broke the somewhat stiff silence.

"I'm willing to accept the loss, but I still don't support—"

As he spoke, Siegfried looked at Kiana, who looked a little tired for some reason.

“Qiana, are you planning to stay here or go to America with Dad?

Although I'm not good at developing personal combat capabilities, there's a teacher over there who might be a good fit for you."

"me too……"

Raiden Ryuma sighed softly and looked at his daughter beside him.

"Mei, you must think carefully before making a decision—

For you, destiny is really dangerous."

"But only with me can they grow up quickly, resolve the dangers hidden in their bodies, and face a future destined to be full of crises."

Gwen also spoke at the right time, looked at the two girls with different expressions, and said slowly.

"Father, I have made my decision."

Faced with the choice that finally returned to her hands, Mei Raiden pursed her lips, looked at her father without hesitation, and gave her answer.

"Besides, I also believe that Gwyn can protect me in destiny."

"call……"

After receiving his daughter's answer without hesitation, Raiden Ryuma closed his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air. When he opened his eyes again and looked at his daughter, he felt a little more relieved, and his heart was not as bitter as he had expected.

"Mei, you've grown up...

In that case, father respects your choice.

Just remember, after making a choice, you must be responsible for your choice..."

Raiden Ryoma began to teach his daughter, but on the other side, Kiana did not give a quick answer like Mei, but just lowered her head so that people could not see the expression on her face.

"Kiana, what are you going to choose?"

Looking at his daughter who was keeping her head down and saying nothing, Siegfried smiled, patted her shoulder gently, and asked gently.

"I……"

Kiana looked up, her eyes swept across Siegfried's empty sleeves, and looking at the face that looked a little more vicissitudes of life, she felt even more panic in her heart.

Just now, for some reason, a terrifying image flashed through Kiana's mind—

In a devastated village, she, with a hideous face, tore off Siegfried's hand with one hand, turning her stinky father into the one-armed man he is today.

Although Kiana firmly believed that it was just an inexplicable illusion, the unusually real feeling made her panic. Facing Siegfried's gentle smile, she even shrank back and avoided it, and almost subconsciously gave the answer -

"Like Mei, I'm staying with Gwyn."

"..."
