Era of Breakdown

"The Pillars of Heracles, the Peaks of Tariq, the End of the World, we have arrived at a tiny place with many names - Gibraltar!"

Shakespeare was speaking impassionedly in her dramatic voice, but no one in the audience was interested in watching the captain's show of friendship.

"This is the first time I've looked down at Gibraltar from the air." Layla said with emotion: "Is this the bird's perspective?"

"The world that birds see is slightly different from the world that we humans see." Bianca looked down, "But who can tell me what that wall, that energy wall is?! It can surround the entire Coastline!”

Looking down from Bianca's perspective, a lavender "strip" symbolizing the color of collapse surrounds the entire coastline. The wall entrenches the continent like a long dragon, making it endlessly visible.

"To be precise, it surrounds the entire European continent. People who fled to North Africa called it the 'Wall of Asgard'." Shakespeare explained: "It is said that this energy began to appear more than a hundred years ago. It just surrounded a certain city. From then on, it continued to expand outwards every moment, slowly extending until it enveloped the entire continent. Maybe in a few years, the Mediterranean Sea will be cut off from the Atlantic Ocean."

"Alas~" Leila, the sexy and beautiful boatswain, looked sad and sighed: "Gibraltar used to be a very important trading point, but I didn't expect it to be abandoned like this. Tangier, Ceuta and Tetouan are on the other side. , and how long can it last?”

"Tetouan is the hometown of Miss Leila." Shakespeare explained why Leila looked sad.

"Hey! Xiaoyou, when did you climb up there? It's very dangerous!" Bianca quickly supported Chi Xiaoyou who was lying on the railing. Only then did she realize that this little guy is obviously much stronger than her. Even if You won't be hurt if you fall...

At this time, Chi Xiaoyou was leaning on the railing with his hands and feet, looking at the "Wall of Asgard" with eyes full of longing, so much so that tears of dissatisfaction flowed from his mouth.

"Cookies! Eat!" Chi Xiaoyou pointed at the purple energy wall below and shouted to Bianca.

Bianca had a black line on her head, "That thing is inedible no matter what, right?"

Chi Xiaoyou shook his head quickly to express that this was not the case.

"Uh-huh~"

Ya Zhongji, who didn't know when he came behind the two of them, stretched out his hand of fate, grabbed Chi Xiaoyou's back collar and lifted him up. After the little guy struggled hopelessly like a dog, he chose to be restrained by fate. Neck.

"Eat, eat, eat. I know how to eat it all day long. There is no sauce on that food. It tastes like dirt. What's so delicious about it?"

Hearing his father's words, Chi Xiaoyou raised his head and asked cautiously: "Can, can I put strawberry jam on it?"

Ya Zhongji didn't speak, and the sharp look in his eyes made Chi Xiaoyou feel at ease, and he shrank his head and stopped talking.

Chi Xiaoyou's astonishing words put Shakespeare to shame.

"The first mate said about the energy wall. The average energy density of the cross-section is about 1,000 watts per square meter. Direct contact will cause immediate death. I don't understand the terms she used, but in short, it's scary, isn't it? ? That thing probably can’t be used as food.”

That being said, Shakespeare's seventh sense told her that Little Yona... didn't seem to be lying.

"1,000 watts per square meter has reached the critical value for the birth of the Herrscher." Yazhongji held Chi Xiaoyou in one hand and rubbed his smooth chin with the other, "The energy did not leak out. This kind of stable and efficient operation of Honkai energy Technology and destiny at this stage cannot do it.”

"As expected of Mr. Instrument, his analysis is extremely thorough." Bianca replied, whether it was a compliment or a mockery.

"Is it because the energy was restrained that the Honkaimon was not born?" Rita was very concerned about the energy wall below.

"Rita, you're here too!" Bianca walked happily to the adjutant, as if she had found a helper.

Yaeji spread his hands and said: "The Hestia uses the Honkai Furnace driver. If it is not restrained, most of the people on the ship will become dead soldiers."

As if thinking of something, Rita's face turned slightly red and she smiled at Yaeji.

Yaeji felt that Rita's smile was a bit forced, similar to that "awkward yet polite smile". He didn't care, just thinking that Rita was thin-skinned. After all, the difficulty of the question just raised was really not in line with her identity.

"Rita..." Bianca asked in a low voice: "Is yours here?"

"Huh?" The maid lady was confused by Bianca for the first time.

This was the first time Bianca had seen Rita with such an expression.

"I just... feel like there's something wrong with you. If you feel uncomfortable, go and have a good rest."

"No, no!" Thinking again of the mysterious gift Yaeji sent last night, Rita felt slightly flustered, but then she immediately adjusted herself.

"No, Lady Bianca, the Valkyrie dormitory on the Hestia is great. I had a good rest." Rita smiled intoxicatingly: "Thank you for your concern."

Bianca looked at Rita suspiciously. Rita made her feel... something was wrong today!

After finishing off Bianca, Rita looked towards the clouds in the distance, but she was paying attention to Yae Ji from the corner of her eye.

‘We obviously don’t know each other very well, why would he give me that kind of clothes? What are you implying to me? ’ Rita, who had heard about the legend of Yaeji, felt very complicated. She never thought that Yaeji’s character could be so “free and easy”.

Yaeji noticed a line of sight behind him, but he was already accustomed to being noticed and didn't care.

Ai Yi's clone, who has been observing secretly, is rapidly building a personality database of everyone present.

"Based on the comparison of valid data, the gift given to the Captain yesterday was correct." Aiyi's clone said to himself in human language: "The Captain will praise the main body after knowing it, and it is very likely to increase the salary of the main body. I also have a chance. With more computing power support..."

. . .

When Ai Yi's eyes turned back, Shakespeare took out a knight's rapier from nowhere and was telling its legend and greatness in the form of an opera.

Nothing more than that - Shakespeare happened to pick up this "artifact" and then forcibly used its power, causing the cores of the artifact to split and turn into a "waste sword". She listened to the first mate's prophecy and wanted to use it. Give the sword to Bianca or Rita and let them shoulder the responsibility of saving the world...

"It sounds like gathering seven dragon balls can summon a dragon." Yae Ji complained.

"Dragon Ball? Shenlong? What is that?"

"Oh, I mean it sounds like a royal manga."

While Shakespeare and Bianca were still arguing, Yaeji took the artifact "Durandal" and felt familiar from it.
