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

"This is……"

Bending down and picking up the box, Gwen placed it on the cabinet, feeling it was cold. He blew off the dust on it and found that the lock on the box had been forcibly pried open.

After waiting for a while and not getting any response from Kevin, Gwen chose to open the box in front of him.

In the quantum ocean, Kevin, seeing the box that had been pried open, was filled with chills, his eyes as sharp as a knife...

The box was opened, and a chilling cold air hit him in the face. Even with Gwyn's physique, he felt a stinging pain on his face and subconsciously stepped back a few steps.

Fortunately, as the fire energy in Gwyn's body circulated, the cold air that entered his body was instantly dissipated.

Gwen almost instantly concluded that this thing was related to Kevin. Seeing that Kevin hadn't said anything, he simply went to the box again and looked inside.

Through the chilling air, Gwyn saw what was stored in the box. It was... four crystal flowers?

Four crystal flowers in blue, pink, gold and grey were neatly placed in a box that was obviously specially made for their storage.

The terrifying coldness that Gwyn had felt before was emitted from the broken blue crystal flower.

"..."

Looking at these four crystal flowers that gave him a sense of déjà vu, Gwen was silent for a moment.

He probably guessed what it was, but he would rather not know - Kevin was watching in the Quantum Sea.

In silence, Gwen closed the box and prepared to pretend that he didn't know what it was.

But just when Gwen was about to pretend nothing happened, Kevin's voice suddenly came -

"Put them away..."

Chapter 73 Alicia's Farewell Gift

"..."

Hearing Kevin's words, Gwen paused as he was about to close the box. After a moment of silence, he finally closed the box and whispered in his mind,

"it is good."

Although he was helpless about his accidental mishap, but now that it had come to this, Gwen no longer regretted wandering around here and could only console himself.

At least, the person who pried open the box did not destroy the four crystal flowers inside.

Based on Kevin's reaction, Gwen was basically certain that the four crystal flowers in the box were Alicia's dying gift—

After releasing the news about the "Thirteenth Herrscher," Alicia presented the four crystal flowers in the box as gifts to the four people who attended the final banquet she had prepared for herself.

In the storyline of the game's Paradise of the Afterlife, these four crystal flowers also carry the gift owner's memory of Alicia, laying the foundation for Alicia's resurrection and ultimately defeating the Herrscher of Corrosion, who is considered invincible in the data world.

In reality, these four crystal flowers may simply be exquisite creations constructed with Honkai energy, collected by Kevin. Later, because Kevin accidentally fell into the Quantum Sea, they remained in Kaslana's house and were not collected by the World Serpent.

Thinking about the reason why these four crystal flowers appeared here, Gwen closed the box and did not pretend to be ignorant and ask Kevin what they were.

It was as if Gwen simply regarded it as something Kevin had left behind, and took Kevin's change of mood as dissatisfaction and anger at the violent destruction of something he had left behind, and thus did not want to continue to anger Kevin...

Putting aside the fact that Gwyn knew some of the past events of the previous civilization and had more speculations about the four crystal flowers, what Gwyn did was not even acting, let alone deception.

Deep within the Quantum Ocean, Kevin, with Gwen's help, looked at the re-fastened box, and his emotions, which had just fluctuated, had calmed down again.

During these more than 50,000 years, Kevin recalled the experiences of the past decade over and over again, witnessing the tragedies time and time again, and even a world bubble was derived in the quantum sea.

Kevin still remembers every incident and every person in his heart, and still clearly remembers his own reactions and emotions, which have never changed.

However, Kevin, who already has greater ambitions, must force himself to calm down and not be moved by this.

If this box of extraordinary significance had not been forcibly pried open, Kevin would not even have shown any emotion.

Gwyn, who had no idea how Kevin felt at the moment, carefully held the box containing the four crystal flowers that could be said to be Alicia's relics, put on the Key of Domination on the cabinet in front of him, and left this secret vault that was more frightening than surprising to him.

After leaving the secret vault, Gwen did not stay in the manor for too long and quickly returned to the headquarters of the Destiny.

Compared to this manor that is being transferred to his name, the small house on the floating island is more likely to give people the feeling of being at home with Gwyn.

Moreover, after obtaining the Key of Domination, which was most likely left there by Otto on purpose, Gwyn, who is still a pillar of destiny, needs to report to Archbishop Otto and ask for the Taixu Sword Qi, which is most likely prepared for him.

In fact, Otto is also working hard for this——

"Well, old friend, I need your help..."

Looking at the A-rank Valkyrie in the communication, who had delicate features, a calm expression, and ordinary gray hair and blue eyes, Otto rarely adopted an equal attitude to talk to her.

At this time, the only person who could be treated like this by Otto was obviously Fu Hua, who was currently "studying" at St. Freya Academy in the Far East Branch.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Fu Hua, who was indifferent to Otto's inquiries, interrupted Otto's chatter and got straight to the point.

Based on Fu Hua's understanding of Otto, this guy actually talked to her about so much useless things instead of giving direct orders. It was obvious that his motives were not pure.

Otto, who knew Fu Hua knew who he was, did not continue to talk nonsense and stated his purpose as Fu Hua said.

"I need the complete Taixu Sword Qi. If possible, I hope you can come and teach a child in person."

Although after reaching an agreement with Otto five hundred years ago, Fu Hua gave Otto the divine sound, which is the foundation of Taixu sword energy, at Otto's request.

After Otto's research, simplification and improvement, he has made it a part of Valkyrie training.

However, because he knew that Taixu Sword Qi actually had very demanding requirements for learners and was best taught one-on-one by an expert, Otto had never asked for the complete copy of Taixu Sword Qi in the past, and Fu Hua had not voluntarily handed it over.

Although in the future planned by Otto, the Key of Domination is not important.

Even if Gwyn cannot activate it, Destiny's current technology has reached the level of developing a weapon that can replace the Key of Domination.

However, if possible, Otto still hopes that Gwyn can activate the Key of Domination and learn something from his old friend.

As for which goal Otto wants to achieve more... perhaps only Otto himself knows.

“You should know that I have no interest in taking in disciples.

As for teaching, I cannot guarantee that the child you are talking about will learn it."

Faced with Otto's request, Fu Hua, who has always been calm and composed and could remain calm even when faced with a crisis, frowned and shook her head slightly.

Although many memories are blurred, some resistance deeply rooted in her memory still makes Fu Hua subconsciously resist.

However, Fu Hua did not refuse, leaving room for easing the situation.

"Of course, I know that not everyone can learn Taixu Sword Qi.

As long as you are willing to teach, it is all good. Whether he can learn it or not is his problem."

Otto, who was not surprised by this, nodded with a smile. Then, Otto said casually,

"By the way, Destiny discovered several Keys of Domination in a Fire Moth base some time ago. One of them should be in that child's hands now."

"The Key of Domination?"

Hearing this, Fu Hua raised an eyebrow, but did not ask Otto where the Key of Domination came from.

Since those things are in Otto's hands, how to distribute them is his business and has nothing to do with me.

"However, if I am asked to teach the child you mentioned, what will happen to my undercover mission in the Far East Branch?

Current technology doesn't allow me to remotely teach Taixu Sword Qi."

Suppressing the bad feeling rising in her heart, Fu Hua looked at Otto who was smiling in the communicator and asked in a deep voice.

"That's easy. I'll give each branch a few places to attend training at headquarters. Once you get them, just come over and start the training."

Chapter 74 Tesla: It must be Otto’s conspiracy!

Otto's answer highlighted his power and willfulness, but Fu Hua just nodded slightly without commenting.

Otto's willfulness is still within a reasonable range, and now the Far East branch... perhaps it really needs some changes.

Although Fu Hua also enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of Saint Freya, she, who had come from a previous civilization, knew that time was running out. If these girls wanted to survive the continuous great collapses in the future, they needed more training and strengthening...

However, although she did not object to Otto's decision, Fu Hua still reminded him,

“Practicing martial arts is not something that can be accomplished overnight, and Taixu Sword Qi is not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires years of practice.

With just the time for further training, I'm afraid I can only complete the introductory training at best."

"Ha... You can rest assured about that, old friend."

Hearing this, Otto showed a somewhat smug smile.

"That child has already reached A-level strength, and his comprehension is quite good. He won't take up too much of your time, old friend."

"Already have A-level strength?"

Hearing this, Fu Hua couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and suddenly remembered something, and asked,

"Are you talking about the kid you've been promoting on the intranet lately?"

Although Fu Hua's personality easily makes people think she is an old-fashioned person, it doesn't mean that she is really an old-fashioned person living in the past. She is very proficient in using the Internet and even plays online games...

Therefore, Fu Hua naturally knew about the existence of Gwyn, who had been widely publicized before.

"I should have told you that it's best to practice Taixu Sword Qi from a young age. Once you grow up and your mind becomes distracted, it will be difficult to cultivate a sword heart.

However, considering the Kaslana bloodline in him, just learning to control the Key of Domination should be enough..."

Fu Hua, who knew Otto's true nature very well, estimated that the rumored Kaslana bloodline in Gwyn was true, so she took it into account.

If it was Kaslana, based on the speed of advancement reported, her talent should be quite good. Even without Kenshin's transformation of her body, her resistance and adaptability to Honkai energy would be acceptable. She wouldn't be harmed by the use of Honkai energy due to her cultivation...

Fu Hua's mind raced, and she had put aside her worries.

"It seems you've made up your mind, old friend. I won't disturb your student life. See you at headquarters."

Knowing that Fu Hua had accepted the task, Otto hung up the phone with a smile, and gave Amber the task of allocating temporary training places to each branch.

At the same time, Gwen's points balance, which was on his way back to headquarters, quietly increased without him noticing.

This kind of growth is not the first...

After returning to headquarters, Gwyn reported to Otto about his experiences and gains since leaving the headquarters. He learned the identity of the Key of Domination from Otto and then applied for a course on how to use the Key of God.

Otto, who had just persuaded his old friend to be his tutor, had no objection to this, but told Gwyn that it would take some time for the teacher to arrive.

Of course, Gwyn had no objection to this.

Afterwards, Gwyn, who had essentially become the new head of Kaslana, returned to his familiar life, exercising and practicing every day, occasionally going on missions, and competing with Orlandel for the title of King of Destiny.

However, although Gwyn had no further contact with Kaslana's people except for that day when he mingled with them, he left a deep impression on them and they couldn't help but mention him.

Therefore, although no one publicized this news, it was still learned by the anti-entropy intelligence personnel who paid close attention to the news of destiny, and reported it as if it were a treasure.

"ha?

The Kaslana family is suspected to have a new patriarch, and his identity is... a survivor of a catastrophe?"

Tesla, who saw this news in his spare time, couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

However, after a brief thought, the flaming red hair tied into twin ponytails, Dr. Super Lobster, frowned.

"No, this must be Otto's conspiracy!"

Although he wasn't good at power struggles or schemes, Tesla, having suffered so much, still had a certain intuition about conspiracy and intrigue. He looked up at the petite blue-haired lady who was leisurely drinking coffee across the table.

"Chicken Coop Head, you didn't tell that Siegfried guy the news, did you?"

"It has been handed over to Mr. Siegfried."

The petite woman who Tesla called "Chicken Coop Hair" and whose real identity was the famous great scientist in human history, Liesel Albert Einstein, gently put down the coffee cup in her hand and looked up at her anxious friend in front of her.

“Don’t worry, Dr. Tesla, I’ve already noted in the message that this is most likely Otto’s conspiracy.

Moreover, judging from Mr. Siegfried's reaction, he doesn't seem to be as impulsive as you thought."

"what?"

Tesla cried out in surprise again when he heard this.

However, this time Einstein did not explain any more. He just scooped a spoonful of sugar from the sugar jar beside him and put it into the coffee. He glanced at his friend's expression out of the corner of his eye, feeling a little happy in his heart.

In his boring life, teasing Tesla was one of the few joys that Einstein had.

At the same time, in a small room in the Far East, a middle-aged man with unshaven beard, messy hair, and a strong smell of alcohol, who looked like an unemployed homeless man, looked at the message on his mobile phone and drank half a bottle of beer.
