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

Looking at Gwyn, who was solemnly inviting him with his white shirt revealing underneath, everyone was silent, except for some people who were breathing a little heavier.

Perhaps to the older people, Gwen's words made sense and also took everyone's face into consideration.

But in the eyes of young people, this is a naked provocation.

Normally we can easily beat several people at the same time, so how come you are so good at bragging?

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Gwyn simply stepped forward without waiting for them to make the first move, as if revealing a flaw.

Facing Gwyn who was full of flaws, Andrew looked at his brothers beside him and nodded vigorously. When Gwyn approached, he suddenly attacked and threw his fist as big as a casserole towards Gwyn.

At the same time, Andrew's two cousins, one kicking and the other sweeping, attacked Gwyn together.

However, the attack from the three brothers, which was enough to send someone to the hospital outside, made a dull sound when it landed on Gwen.

It was as if they were not hitting a person wearing only a thin shirt, but attacking the earth.

However, no matter how the three people reacted, their actions were like pressing the start button, making the other young people who were eager to move also unwilling to be left out, and they shouted and charged towards Gwyn who was standing there motionless.

As they watched the young people quickly become one, the old people, unable to intervene, could only sigh and silently retreat.

Judging from what Gwyn said before, he should be a sensible and sensible person.

In this case, let the children understand the differences in the world.

Just like that, the hall that had been relatively quiet just a moment ago instantly turned into a battlefield where a group of young people were fighting...

Chapter 71 Recognition and Respect

"I think I have proven my qualifications."

Gently shaking his right hand, Gwen simply straightened his wrinkled shirt, looked at the old men who had retreated to the back at the beginning of the fight, and asked calmly.

Gwen did not sense any malice from the old men, and could even sense a hint of kindness and appreciation.

Therefore, Gwen did not doubt that these young people were instigated by them.

Or rather, even if it was, it no longer matters now——

Now in the hall, except for a few old people, everyone else was lying on the ground, unable to even muster the strength to stand up. Only Gwyn, who was not even breathing, stood leisurely among the crowd, standing out like a crane among chickens.

"You are a remarkable young man..."

Looking at Gwen's face that inexplicably gave him a sense of déjà vu, an old man sighed, glanced at the younger generations who were lying on the ground but trying hard to hold their breath and not shout, shook his head slightly, and looked at the other old man beside him.

"Third brother, you guys stay and take care of the children.

I'll take this child to the back to explain some things..."

"it is good!"

Hearing this, the third oldest man of this generation nodded and asked several other elders to check the injuries of the tribesman who had fallen to the ground.

As for this energetic old man, he took Gwyn to a small room behind the hall.

"Ugh……"

After looking at Gwen for a while, the old man still felt that Gwen looked familiar, but he couldn't remember which of his own boys he resembled. He sighed and said,

"young people……"

The old man briefly introduced himself. It turned out that he and the previous head of the Kaslana family were of the same generation. He was the eldest, and the previous head of the family was his cousin, the second oldest.

After a few simple greetings, the old man got straight to the point and began to tell Gwyn some things that the clan leaders should know -

As a knight family of destiny, the patriarch of the Kaslana family has always had a high death rate in battle.

Therefore, many secrets that should have been known only to the clan leader had to be handed over to other clan members who did not go to the battlefield for safekeeping in order to ensure the inheritance of these secrets.

Although Gwen's actions today seemed to be a bit of an armed attack, the old man agreed with what Gwen said -

The Kaslana family cannot support itself solely with the young people in the front hall.

Only a genius like Gwyn...or a strong man, can uphold the dignity and glory of this knight family, which was once one of the three pillars of destiny.

Moreover, although he is not as good at fighting as his cousin, this old man has accumulated wisdom in his long life. He is also one of the few people who can be seen as pushing Gwyn to come here. It is very likely that he is the Archbishop of Destiny, whom the Kaslana family cannot afford to offend no matter what.

Since everyone has tacitly acknowledged Gwen's status in the Kaslana family, the old man doesn't see any point in hiding these so-called secrets.

Listening to the old man's slow and leisurely narration, Gwen, who was not very attentive at first, listened carefully out of respect for the old man and gained something, and could not help but become more serious.

More than an hour later, when the two returned to the hall, the young people and middle-aged people in their prime who had been beaten by Gwyn and could not stand up had stood up again, and their eyes looked at Gwyn with a bit more complexity.

However, before these people could speak, Gwen took the lead and said:

"Sorry, everyone. In order to make things as simple as possible, I have used some relatively rough methods. Please forgive me.

Of course, if you don’t want to accept it, you can just pretend that I don’t exist.

After all, the earth will continue to rotate without anyone, and life will not become unbearable just because someone like me is not around anymore."

"..."

Faced with Gwyn's sudden apology, everyone, who had a lot to say, fell silent.

Suddenly, a sneer came from the crowd. Gwen looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged man who looked more handsome than his peers and had a clean-shaven chin. He was looking at him with a smile.

"You're pretty good, more responsible than that brat Siegfried!"

As he said this, the middle-aged man smiled and gave Gwyn a thumbs up, then turned and left.

The middle-aged man's words seemed to be the beginning. The other Kaslana people either walked up to Gwyn calmly and patted his shoulder, or nodded with complicated expressions and then left the hall.

Finally, with the departure of the old man beside him, Gwyn was the only one left in the hall.

According to what the old man had told Gwyn before, this hall and this manor originally belonged to the assets of the head of the family, and were also the place for family gatherings.

With the defection of the former head of the family a few years ago, only the latter role remains.

Now that Gwyn has assumed the responsibility of head of the family, the manor will automatically be transferred to Gwyn's name.

"..."

After watching the old man's figure disappear in the distance, Gwen returned to the hall and looked at the building that looked majestic in the bright sunshine, and chuckled.

Undoubtedly, it is more pleasant to get along with these more open-minded people than a group of scheming guys.

"..."

In the Quantum Ocean, Kevin, who had watched the entire process, was silent for a moment, but after hearing Gwen's laughter, he still spoke,

"You may have earned their respect with your strength, but you haven't completely convinced them..."

"This is the best."

Gwen shook his head indifferently.

"Although I am now highly regarded by Otto, no one can tell whether I will be the first S-class knight of Destiny or the next Siegfried.

They are too close to me and I am afraid they will be implicated."

Gwyn did not deliberately hide the fact that he might fall out with Otto from Kevin.

After all, before the final doom comes, Kevin is also a good candidate for boss.

At least, Kevin can still improve Gwyn's attributes after a few levels.

"..."

Listening to Gwen's words, Kevin stopped talking and returned to silence.

Although the World Serpent was still able to contact Kevin after he fell into the Quantum Sea, it was quite difficult, so Kevin's understanding of Destiny or Otto was very limited and superficial.

However, in the few days after establishing contact with Gwyn, Kevin got to know another Otto from Gwyn.

Gwen, who had long been accustomed to Kevin's silence except when he was instructing him, didn't mind. He casually took off his coat and took out the key that Amber had given him a few days ago from his pocket:

"If nothing unexpected happens, this key is the key to the so-called secret vault..."

Thinking about the secrets the old man had just told him, Gwen muttered to himself and walked towards the location the old man mentioned.

Chapter 72 Crystal Flower?

Although Gwyn didn't have high expectations for the so-called secret vault, he was still very interested in opening the blind box... and seeing Kaslana's background.

After all, although the world of Honkai Impact 3rd is not a casual fantasy worldview, there is a previous civilization before it, and even Tianming can be said to have started from archaeology.

Furthermore, with the precedent of the Apokalyps family holding the Void Treasures and guarding the black box five hundred years ago, unable to use it, Gwyn still had some hope of discovering something valuable in the Kaslana family's vault...

Although it is basically certain that the valuable things inside were most likely taken away by Otto after the key was in his hands, but... what if?

With expectations that perhaps he shouldn't have had, Gwyn found the secret vault, opened the lock on the door with the key in his hand, and then took a lot of effort to push open the two heavy doors that two strong adults might not be able to push open.

After opening the door, Gwen surprisingly did not feel any dampness in this secret room that had not been opened for more than ten years.

During his conversation with the old man, Gwen learned that the key to the secret vault was lost by his cousin, the previous head of the family, and it had not been opened for more than ten years, which confirmed what Gwen had thought before.

However, although it is a secret vault, it was obviously built decades ago and has electric lights.

As the switch was pressed, the originally dark vault suddenly became bright. Although it lacked the feeling of exploring a mystery, it allowed Gwen to clearly see the things neatly placed on the cabinets.

Gwen strolled around and looked at the things on the cabinet curiously, but found that as he expected, most of them were things of little value to him.

However, some of them also attracted Gwen's attention -

Several broken swords placed together, judging from the hilts, are obviously products from an industrial assembly line, but they are full of the historical atmosphere of the years.

Next to these broken swords, Gwyn even found a complete and golden sword in a sword box, as if it were made of gold.

Looking at the golden sword that gave him a strong sense of déjà vu, a surprising thought suddenly emerged in Gwyn's mind -

Could it be...

"This is the Tenth God Key's Control Key. Although its strength is somewhat inferior to the other God Keys, it is sufficient for you now..."

If you can activate it."

Kevin's voice came from his mind, confirming Gwen's guess.

However, considering that he got the key from Otto, then... this intact Key of Domination was most likely not originally from the Kaslana family's secret vault, but was prepared for him by a certain Archbishop of Destiny who did not want to reveal his name.

Thinking of this, Gwen's expression became a little complicated.

So far, Otto has been really nice to him, very good even.

If Gwyn had not read the plot and knew that in the archbishop's mind, everyone except Kallen was just a pawn that could be used and sacrificed, and that he himself was already one of them, and even that a certain plan would be implemented in the near future, and that everything Otto gave him at this time was just a part of what he had to give first if he wanted to take it, he would probably have been stunned.

As for the origin of this Key of Domination, Gwyn did have some guesses—

It is likely that Otto dug it out from somewhere when he was exploring the treasure in Fu Hua's memory.

Guessing how Otto got the Key of Domination, Gwyn was not in a hurry to take it off.

Gwyn had not activated the super mutation factor and had not practiced the Taixu sword energy, so he would not be able to use it for a while, so he would just take it with him when he left.

However, Gwyn's gaze shifted from the intact Key of Domination to the broken sword beside it.

"Since Kevin recognizes this as the Domination Key... then you placed all these damaged Domination Keys here?"

Kevin did not reveal his identity as a pioneer of the previous civilization to Gwyn, and Gwyn did not take the initiative to reveal the idea that he knew his identity, as if he just treated him as an ordinary ancestor of Kaslana.

"...

Um……"

After a moment's silence, Kevin, who was observing the broken swords with Gwyn's eyes, replied in a low voice,

"If you need it, just use it..."

Although Kevin said this, Gwen, who rarely heard some emotional fluctuations in his cold voice, certainly didn't really believe it.

"Could this be part of the broken Keys of Domination that Kevin recovered from the lunar battlefield?"

Speculating on the source of Kevin's emotional fluctuations, Gwen continued to wander around the secret vault of Kaslana's house, wanting to see if there was anything else worth noting.

However, apart from the Key of Domination that Otto left behind, there seemed to be nothing in this secret vault worth Gwyn's "picking up" until Gwyn found a box in a corner that was not placed on the cabinet, but just quietly placed on the ground.
