"When I was afraid before, Sister Bronya would hold my hand like this."

Seeing Bronya's bewildered expression, Xier held her hand.

"If it's a painful thing, don't think about it. Xi'er will always be with Sister Bronya, just like her sister used to be with Xi'er."

Seeer showed a big smile, soothing Bronya's heart.

"...Thank you, Bronya is fine, just a little confused, but Bronya has decided to face it."

Bronya smiled back, turned around, and moved towards Theresa's position, but she didn't realize that the smile on Xier's face behind her gradually disappeared, and vaguely, those beautiful sea-blue eyes radiated A strange scarlet appeared.

Bronya came to the hillside and looked for Teresa's figure. In the falling snow, when her ears moved, her expression suddenly changed.

"Father—! Father—! Wake up, wake up..."

Bronya took Seer across the hillside following the sound, and saw Theresa, who was kneeling on the snow, and…

"Father... I beg you, wake up!"

With strange purple lines all over his face, Father Otto was unconscious.

Bronya, who was limited in her strength, had no strength to bring the priest back. The three discussed it for a while, and Theresa and Sheere took care of the priest. Bronya returned to the orphanage and asked the older children to come and carry the priest. .

On the way back to the orphanage, Bronya discovered the traces of the Honkai Beast. When she felt bad in the dark, she saw that the Honkai Beast seemed to be being manipulated, turned dully, and returned to the depths of the snowfield.

Bronya noticed something strange in the air, and then she saw—

"The Eighth God's Key, Yu Duchen?"

"You have traces of feathers left on your body. It let you see me and let me know everything about you. It's amazing. You don't belong here."

Yu Duchen held a feather and informed it of its identity.

"I am one of the three thousand feathers left by Yu Duchen. I sensed the man's protection of Xinyi and appeared here..."

Chapter 69 The Seriously Wounded Hero

Hearing Yu Duchen's words, Bronya immediately understood.

It was Yu Duchen who had been protecting the orphanage from the Honkai Beast's attacks, but then he had questions.

Why does the priest have Yu Duchen's feathers?

"She is kind to Yu Duchen's master, and in return, she left a feather in his heart."

As if he had the ability to read minds, Yu Duchen answered.

"He brought me here. I have always followed his will to protect this snowfield, but now, his time is approaching, and my strength will come to an end along with his spirit."

"Father... is going to die?"

Bronya was dumbfounded. Even though she had not been with the orphanage for a long time, she could feel the nostalgia and love for the priest from everyone in the orphanage.

The priest is the support column of the orphanage. Once he collapses, Bronya can't imagine what kind of tragedy will happen to the orphanage in the future.

"He still has concerns and memories, but what binds him the most is a void in his heart, that man wants to entrust me to another person, a person he recognizes, to pass on my power, however, he There is an insurmountable estrangement between him and that person."

It was only then that she realized why the priest wanted Joachim to inherit the orphanage. It turned out that he had no time.

Moreover, the priest really does not want Joachim to leave. If he leaves, the two of them will always carry this knot in their hearts.

"...This is not only their knot, but also yours. What you really want to find is not someone else's answer, but your own answer - this is also the reason why you chose to jump into the eye of the abyss at that moment. One day, you will step out of the past and find your own path."

The familiar figure disappeared in the light, leaving only the reverberation echoing in the snow field.

Yu Duchen knew Bronya's purpose in entering this world. In order to inherit the core of the Herrscher of Reason, what Bronya had to face was no simpler than the two of them.

On the villa island, Bronya stopped taking notes.

With a look of disappointment, it turned out that she entered other worlds, not only to save Xier, but also to inherit the core mission of the Herrscher of Reason. Although this is inappropriate for her, is it too much to carry out two big things together? Barely.

... Also, jumping down from the Eye of the Abyss is a necessary condition to save Xier, so you must remember it well.

and…

"Squad leader, from the time you appeared to the time you disappeared, you said a lot of compelling words, but I can hardly understand what you are trying to express, can you be more straightforward, or you can help me translate it, I have a good idea. be ready."

The appearance of Yu Duchen, whether it is the special effects of appearances, or the topics raised, and the actions of his gestures, all show that this person is not simple.

The temperament of the fairy guiding the way is perfectly set off.

But if the parties don't understand it, it's useless.

What are you trying to say?

Bronya hates the Riddler.

"Huh? Don't you understand Bronya? I think it's very straightforward." Fu Hua tilted his head and felt a little puzzled, but he still explained: "I briefly introduced my origin, and then encouraged you , don't forget the original intention, and move forward bravely."

"...No?" Bronya couldn't help but ask when Fu Hua stopped speaking, she couldn't believe her ears,

In the co-authored video, you eloquently said a lot of things, but you didn't have any substantive information, just to encourage you?

Really blinded the fan of the immortal guiding the way.

"Ahem, I didn't expect Bishop Otto in other worlds to be not bad. I respect this kind of person. It's a pity that he was infected with Honkai, and he will die soon. If possible, I really don't want to see such a person. Good people die."

Kiana coughed a few times and changed the subject, but she couldn't bear it any longer.

"Yeah, in this world, good people don't live long, and disasters are left for thousands of years. If Otto and priests in our world can be exchanged, the world will be a better place."

Einstein sighed, she and Otto are considered to be old acquaintances, excluding the things related to Carlene, Otto said the last scourge will never be wrong.

But in the video, Father Otto's sincerity towards the children is admirable, and his relationship with Joachim is regrettable.

She looked very pleasing to the priest.

However, Einstein she missed one very important thing.

If there is no Bishop Otto and this inhuman madman, what will happen to the world today?

Regardless of Otto's assessment, today's world cannot be without this madman.

The video continued, and soon the children came running and took Father Otto back to the orphanage to rest.

The priest soon woke up, thanked the children who cared about him, and told everyone that he was just a little sick. With the trust of the children in him, he quickly sent the children to rest.

There were Teresa, Seeer, Bronya, and Father Otto lying on the bed in the room.

Bronya stared solemnly at the purple lines on the priest's body with a very bad expression. She knew exactly what these lines represented.

Suddenly, the door of the room was slammed open,

Joachim rushed in anxiously, and did not return to his normal expression until after confirming that the priest was safe.

He stood by the bed with his head lowered, the priest tried to touch his head with his hand, but Joachim subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

The priest touched the cross on his chest.

"You will be leaving early tomorrow morning. Rest early tonight. I hope you will keep this cross for me."

The priest took off the cross, but Joachim did not reach for it.

"...I went to the village today and wanted to choose a farewell gift for you. In the end, I felt that this cross was the most suitable. It prevented a lot of disasters for me. I hope you can also be blessed by God."

"God's blessing...? If you kill someone in the name of goodness, can you be blessed by God!"

Joachim did not accept it, and Teresa spoke for the priest, wanting him to understand the priest's intentions, but this aroused Joachim's resistance.

He rushed out of the room, everyone was stunned, the priest struggled to get out of bed, but lost his weight and fell to the ground.

Theresa needs to stay to take care of the priest, Bronya volunteered to find Joachim, but at the same time she found him, she was also attacked by the Honkai Beast.

Bronya reluctantly maintained the situation in front of Honkai Beast, but she was alone and could not fully watch the battlefield.

A Honkai Beast broke through Bronya's line of defense and raised a butcher's knife towards Joachim.

At the time of the crisis, the priest who appeared out of nowhere, staggered, endured the pain, and came to Joachim.

On the snowy field, the blond man raised the burning holy spear in his hand. Aimed at the head of Honkaiju.

boom-

Chapter 70 As if I saw my former self

On the snow field of fire and frost.

"Clam...that's great...you're all fine..."

Raising the Mimic Skyfire Holy Inquisition with one hand, Otto panted heavily, and with one eye closed, the exposed skin was covered with dense purple lines.

"Haha... It's really not easy to escape Theresa..."

"Father..."

Joachim stared blankly at each other, unable to believe that the person in front of him was the priest who always kept a warm smile and took care of everyone.

The priest staggered down, Bronya rushed up and hugged him, only to find that the man had lost consciousness.

The collapse eroded his cells, the harsh environment destroyed his body, and the Canaan hole in his heart emptied his soul.

She struggled to hold the priest up, this tall man was so weak at the moment.

"He passed out, came to help, he saved you just now..." Bronya shook her arms and asked Joachim to help.

But seeing Joachim sitting there and trembling constantly, his appearance caused an unnamed fire in Bronya's heart.

She grabbed the cross on the ground and threw it at Joachim angrily.

"What are you running away from! Your past? Or the priest and everyone in the orphanage?!"

Bronya was very angry, and felt disgusted by Joachim who showed her ugly appearance, and the disgust from the bottom of her heart.

Because it seemed that he could see his own figure from Joachim's body.

"...I don't know...what should I do right..." Squatting on the ground and hugging his knees, Joachim buried his head in his knees, his tone trembling and fearful.

"There are not so many right and wrong in this world... Only things are right and wrong, people are not..." Bronya's tone was ethereal, she seemed to be explaining to Joachim, and seemed to be admonishing herself.

"The so-called right or wrong of a person is just the responsibility he has to take after he has done something wrong. Bronya knows it is difficult... Bronya was the same as you before..."

She remembered the scene where Cocolia's mother used the chip in her brain to attack Raiden Mei and Kiana.

When the Walther clones invaded St. Freya, she hesitated.

Bronya can't imagine what kind of malice they will hold to herself when she comes to Qiana and others again one day...

She's scared, she's scared...but...

"Since you're afraid, then say it's coming, don't keep silent, and don't insist that it's okay... Go and tell those who care about you, who also care about you, and your family... Don't wait until everything is irreversible. time to regret it."

It's like Bronya now, Xier has not yet rescued, her friends have left her, the family's anger and confusion, the laughter and happiness of the past, have gone, and the only things that await her are incomprehension and regret...

Soon after, the children who found the priest missing rushed over in a panic, and together they sent the unconscious priest back to the orphanage.

"Didn't you say that the bishop of this question and answer is Bishop Otto? Why is it Bronya who exposed this question?!"

Bronya's tender hands trembled slightly, what she saw, Seeer was talking to herself like a schizophrenic, and she herself confessed to everyone in the orphanage and everyone in St. Freya.

Should it be the future? Bronya feels socially dead.

"Dr. Einstein, do you have any explanation for the anti-entropy invasion of St. Freya?"

With one hand on her chin, Teresa's expression is very serious, you can tear up my cartoons, you can destroy my bitter gourd fields, and you can laugh at my height and age.

However, she can't allow anyone to take action on her Saint Freya, anyone!

"Ms. Theresa, you know me, I pursue science, and I want to expel the collapse. I won't take action against friendly forces. I think the person who invaded St. Freya College is the radical Cocolia. With the Walter clone as a trump card, it is difficult for Tesla and I to control her intelligence."

Einstein felt a little pain in his skull.

What the **** is this woman thinking?

The Thunderbolt Ryoma who defeated the anti-entropy faction, and Saint Freya, who will invade the established friendly army in the future, is she crazy? Or do you think that anti-entropy can be forcibly ruled by just relying on Walter clones?

"Tsk tsk, worthy of anti-entropy, even the Herrscher training academy dares to invade, under the eyes of the Herrscher, being a jumping clown, you are not afraid to wake up a few Herrschers in minutes to suppress the shock."

The raven smacked his tongue disdainfully. To tell the truth, he knew that there were multiple Herrschers or Herrscher Reserves in St. Freya.

Even if it is the gray snake with the idea of ​​'respectful and invincible', if it is not necessary, let the people of the world snake withdraw from the sphere of influence of Saint Freya. Let's all play together.

Hearing this, Einstein and Teresa's eyes focused on Kiana (Herrscher carrier of the sky), Raiden Mei (third Herrscher), Fu Hua (Herscher reserve), Bronya (Herrscher) or reservists).

Damn, there are more Herrschers than normal people present.

With complicated emotions, everyone turned their attention to the video together.

The next day, Theresa knocked on the door of Bronya and Seele and took them to Joachim's room.
