The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

Chapter 352 Master, how you look at men...

"Pa...Pado?"

Hua immediately turned to look at Mikael, but the latter shook his head at her, indicating that he did not know.

"What happened? No, how did you get up the mountain?"

"Uh...ahem! This is a long story...Okay, okay, let's keep it short...but with so many people, does it really matter?"

Pado's eyes swept across the seven disciples, and finally stopped on Mikael's face.

"Well, let's talk alone."

Mikael nodded, and in the blink of an eye the three figures appeared outside the house.

"Ahem!"

Padu took off his hood and softly whispered.

For each "pioneer", their lives seem to have stayed at that moment fifty thousand years ago, and time will no longer leave any traces on their bodies. But it is limited to "physical", and the wear and tear on consciousness is inevitable - except for Pado, she is the only one who can still live heartlessly after fifty thousand years of wear and tear, so that now when it comes to business, You also need to forcefully put on a serious look.

However, even though his expression could be forced to be serious, Paduo's wording remained unchanged:

"Ahua, we have a three-sentence version, a two-sentence version and a one-sentence version. Which one do you want to buy... uh, okay, the one-sentence version is - there is an abnormal Honkai Impact reaction in Australia, and people need to go there. Deal with it.”

"Australia?"

Hua silently recited the place name with an expressionless face, and then glanced at Mikael from the corner of his eye. She still didn't understand why Pado suddenly appeared in Taixu Mountain.

Among the original Yingjie, apart from Kevin, Su and Pado in front of her, she was sure that at least Mebius and Sakura were still out there.

According to Mikael's behavior, Pado should inform Mebius and Sakura as soon as possible...

As for the abnormality of Honkai energy, to be honest, Hua really didn't pay much attention to it. Australia was already sparsely populated when we first arrived, so even if a Honkai Beast appeared, the damage it could cause would be extremely limited.

What if the one who appears is the Lawyer? Hua couldn't help but take another look at Mikael. She didn't know what state Mikael was in now, but it seemed that he still had the power over the end, so the birth of the Herrscher was inseparable from him...even at this moment. The Herrscher was really born in advance, and Hua also believed in Mikael's judgment.

Of course, there is one thing that is equally important - what about the Herrscher? Which one of her, Kevin, Su, Mebius and Sakura has no ability to kill the Herrscher?

But she quickly shook her head. Recently, it seemed that she was always prone to falling into such a state of thinking alone. In fact, wouldn't you know the specific situation just by asking Pado?

"Time, specific location, Honkai energy reaction intensity."

She forced these three words out of her mouth.

"time……"

Padu frowned and began to count her fingers. After counting for two or three minutes, she smiled sheepishly:

"Ah...that...Ahua, I don't remember..."

"..."

"Okay, let Pado speak at his own pace."

Even Mikael, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it anymore. It's not that he was talking about anything else... but that Pado's performance was a bit too hard, but it wasn't a big problem. This was also Mikael's fault. As expected.

"Ahem! This is what happened!"

After receiving Mikael's instructions, Pado patted his chest, raised his head and explained in a recitative tone:

"That morning, I was preparing to go out to bask in the sun as usual, but before I even stepped out of the door, I saw the machine that Sister Snake gave me kept beeping..."

"What's the reading?"

"Eight...eight or nine hundred."

"Judgement level Honkai beast?"

"Probably... right? Oh, Ah Hua, please listen to me and continue! My first reaction was to notify Sister Snake and Sister Ying, but they didn't know what was going on and just couldn't get in touch. Where is Boss Mikael? , not to mention, I haven’t seen him once in hundreds of years, and I don’t know what I am busy with. I thought about it, I can’t go to Brother Kevin... Brother Kevin should think that I am dead, if If I suddenly appear like this, he might use heavenly fire to save me!"

The corners of Hua's mouth kept twitching, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with what Paduo said.

"So when I think about it, the only one we can find who can handle this matter is Ahuaqian! Boss Mikael told me that you don't have much time to go down the mountain, so I'll come to Taixu Mountain to find you. I’m sure to find the right one...so I’m here right now..."

Having said this, Pado proudly puffed up his chest:

"Let's just say, fortunately, we have learned some other skills in the past few thousand years besides eating and sunbathing. This time, flying for several hours in a row is really exhausting us... By the way, the air quality in your mountain is a bit bad, Ahua. It was terrible. I couldn't find the place even if I wanted to stop on the mountain. It was so gray that I couldn't see clearly. In the end, I had to stop at the foot of the mountain. The same thing happened when I went up the mountain. I couldn't see the road clearly and there were so many side roads. , Fortunately, there happened to be a family who was about to go down the mountain and kindly sent me up..."

"airplane……"

Hua couldn't help but cover her forehead. From the moment she heard about the plane, she knew that for a long time in the future, the legend of flying with a sword would spread in China...

But this is not important, it is just some rumors. There are many legends about Taixu Mountain, and this one is not lacking.

She quickly extracted the information from Paduo's messy words:

"That is to say, the abnormal reaction of Honkai energy occurred only a few hours ago. The location is Australia, but the specific location is."

"Well... we don't have a map either... Oh, by the way! The plane I drove over should have the navigation to go back... Oh, no, that's our nest in Australia. Where exactly does the Honkaiju appear? We really don’t know, but..."

Pado's eyes turned quickly, and naturally his gaze fell on Mikael:

"With Boss Mikael here, this won't be a problem, right?"

Grogger Mikael shook his head decisively:

"I don't plan to interfere in this matter anymore."

Pado already knew this answer, and Hua was not surprised. She raised her eyes and met Mikael's eyes.

"I made some decisions on your behalf, but, Hua, the final choice, whether they go or stay, is still up to you."

"You want me to take them to Australia?"

"Um."

"Um...Boss Mikael, Ahua, what are you talking about?"

Padu rubbed the cat ears on her head. She was just acting according to the script given by Mikael, and she didn't know what happened on Taixu Mountain before.

Hua ignored her interruption. She closed her eyes and thought for a while, then nodded heavily.

Also, after being a disciple for so many years, although it is not a happy reunion, it is at least a good break-up. If they recall that the last moment with their master was that funny assassination, it would not be a good thing.

Besides...

"Is this all part of your plan, Mikael?"

"Um."

Mikael nodded without hesitation. Hua did not ask him what his specific plan was. Naturally, there was no need for him to deny such a thing.

"I understand...what about you?"

"I want to take a look at the Paradise. Kevin and the others should have also received a warning about the Honkai energy anomaly and rushed to Australia. Taking this opportunity, I want to take a look at the Paradise."

"Mikael..."

"Pado will also go with me to take Otto back to Tianming. Pado, just leave your plane to Hua. You shouldn't have forgotten the password Hua, right?"

"Well, that's it..."

Hua's eyes flickered. From these simple conversations, she could guess a lot of information...

"That's it. Goodbye, Mikael."

"No more."

The light and shadow in front of his eyes flickered, and by the time Hua reacted, the courtyard was already empty.

She stood there for a long time, bewildered, before finally accepting the fact that she was alone again.

It was strange to say that this kind of loneliness had been with her for five thousand years. She thought she was used to being alone. But Mikael's appearance shattered all of this in just half a day.

Of course, it didn't mean that as soon as Mikael left, she felt a pain in her heart and wanted to follow him. How could there be such a bloody plot?

She just felt a faint sadness lingering around her. Loneliness, which she had thought was normal before, now felt like nothing.

Her inner lake is as clear as ever, without any debris, but if you look closely, you will find a few shallow ripples disrupting everything - these are the traces left by Mikael's hurried coming and going.

"It doesn't matter, time will smooth everything out."

Hua said to himself.

In another five hundred years, perhaps everything that happened today will not leave any deep memories...

It would be great if that could really be the case.

After gathering her mood, she took another step and walked into the hut that was once filled with murderous intent.

As she reached out to push the door open, a strange thought suddenly came to her mind: Is it possible that everything that happened in the previous few hours was just a dream she had last night.

In fact, Mikael has never been there. Everything is just a dream she extended based on the future Mikael told her five thousand years ago.

Now, through a thin wooden door, she knew that there were seven people and seven swords inside. They were all the people she trusted most in this era, but what they were thinking was... they wanted to kill her. .

Just like people can never deny the existence of the brain in a vat, Hua can't prove that this absurd idea is not true...

No, it's not that there is no way to prove it... there is one - as long as you open this door, all the answers will be revealed.

With this thought in mind, Hua exerted a little force on her hand against the door. The door creaked and opened to both sides effortlessly.

There was no sharp sword energy, but she was met with seven pairs of complicated eyes.

The corners of Hua's mouth raised unconsciously. It seemed that everything was not a dream.

But soon, she forced herself to change back to her somewhat serious and stereotyped image. In addition, she didn't know what kind of image a master should have when facing his apprentice.

"Don't stay here. Let's go pack some things and get ready to go down the mountain."

"Go down the mountain..."

Lin Chaoyu, who was standing at the front, bit his lip and repeated the word.

"well……"

Hua knew they would think so:

"Chao Yu."

"Master..."

"Get ready, let's go down the mountain together."

"ah--"

"There is a demon causing trouble in the South China Sea. I will take you to kill it. After that... you will go your separate ways."

The light that had just rekindled in Chaoyu's eyes was completely extinguished at this moment.

"I see……"

After saying this, she lowered her head silently and took the lead to walk out. Su Mei wriggled her lips and took a step forward, taking Chao Yu's place. She and Hua were face to face with only half a step away from each other, but in the end she still couldn't do anything. Without saying anything, he bit his lip and followed Lin Chaoyu away.

Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister both expressed their obedience, and the others naturally had nothing to say. However, when they took steps, they heard Hua say:

"Ling Shuang, please stay here for a while."

After what happened just now, no one dared to guess the master's thoughts, and no one dared to disobey the master's decision. But when Hua turned around, he saw that besides Ling Shuang, sisters Wanxi and Wanru were also standing at the door. Not left yet.

"What's wrong?"

Hua raised his eyelids and asked in a deep voice.

"Well, Master...this is our bedroom..."

"...Ling Shuang, follow me to the main hall."

The main hall was only a few steps away from this small courtyard. Of course, the passage of time seemed to be far slower than Hua expected. When she led Ling Shuang through the extremely smooth stone brick road, she pushed away the main hall. When I entered the main door of the temple, I saw that all the candles in the temple had not been burned out.

Seeing that no one else was present, Ling Shuang's originally lifeless face gradually gained some life. Although she still pursed her lips tightly and did not say a word, she did not ask why the master called her alone. She just let her eyes move around. All the details in the palace are covered.

After entering the main hall, Hua stood at the head of the bed and did not make any move for a long time, nor did he say anything. However, Ling Shuang started running around in the main hall without any scruples.

Even when she saw that the master had no intention of stopping her, she actually threw herself onto Hua's bed. If other people saw her like this, their jaws would probably be the most understated description.

After all, in the eyes of others, she is a person who is infinitely close to the master in terms of strength and personality. At best, she has a calm personality, and at worst, she has an indifferent personality, not like a child at all.

"Huh?"

She grabbed a handful of blue silk from Hua's sheets.

"Is this the hair that Master just cut off?"

While Hua was still thinking about other issues, Ling Shuang ran behind Hua holding the pile of hair, stared at the break at the end of her hair for a moment, and said something shocking:

"The cut is not clean and neat. It can be seen that the person wielding the sword has mediocre swordsmanship and only relies on strength and brute force to swing it. This doesn't look like Master's style...Master, couldn't it be that guy who cut it for you?" "

"..."

Even though Hua boasted that she had experienced five thousand years of ups and downs, when facing Ling Shuang's question, she felt a trace of fear in her heart, but she still answered truthfully:

"how?"

Ling Shuang tilted her head and pursed her lips:

"Master, you don't have a good eye for men."

"..."

"Uh-huh, master, I'm just kidding, you don't need to take out the Xuanyuan Sword..."

Seeing Hua take out the Xuanyuan Sword without saying a word, Ling Shuang kept retreating out of self-consciousness.

But it was obvious that no matter how speechless Hua was, she would not take out her sword for this matter - she turned her wrist, held the hilt of the sword, and handed the sword to Ling Shuang.

"Uh-huh, Master, what are you..."

"Your sword is broken. I'll give you a new one."

"Thank you, Master! Uh, so Master, how many Xuanyuan Swords do you have?"

"..."

"Uh...Master, um, nothing happens. I'm going to pack my things first."

"stop."

Hua sighed.

"What do you have to pack? Come and talk to me."

"Ah...ah?"

Regardless of whether Ling Shuangtong agreed or not, Hua said to herself:

"Among the seven disciples, the one who has been with me the longest is Chao Yu, the smartest is Su Mei, the kindest is Su Yi, and the one with the best talent in martial arts is Yan Qing, but the only one who has become the Taixu Sword God , the only one whose sword heart has reached the Taixu realm is you, Ling Shuang. Why do you think this is?"

"Master...I don't know if you ask me..."

Hua shook her head. She was not asking a question.

"Zhao Yu, I will let her create her own mountain gate under the name of 'Taixu Sword Sect'. Su Mei may never return to Taixu Mountain in the future. With Yanqing's character, I am afraid he will go with her." ...Only you, Ling Shuang, I want you to inherit the mantle of Taixu Mountain."

"ah?"

Ling Shuang rubbed her ears, thinking for a moment that she had misheard the master's words.

After a brief thought, she gave an answer that Hua had expected:

"I do not want!"

Hua smiled slightly:

"I know what you are thinking, but I have already passed on all the Taixu Sword Qi to you. The so-called mantle is not a skill or wealth, it is just a secret... About me, about more people, It's just a dusty past - you also want to know why Mikael seems to be obsessed, but he can maintain his sanity and human form, including the girl who appeared earlier who looked like a monster, and even your master... …Myself……"

"But...why did Master just tell me this?"

"It's simple because he glanced at you in the house."

"ah?"

Ling Shuang frowned and took a long time to understand this sentence.

"He won't be aimless. You must play an extremely important role in the future he wants, or be related to an extremely important role. As for me personally...

"After all, you are my best disciple. Master wants to tell her secret to her best disciple. Is there any problem?"

In fact, there is a third reason - I don't know when exactly it started, an indescribable premonition enveloped Hua's heart. This premonition can't be said to be good or bad, but it is different from the first two times she used Yu Duchen. The premonition before the first rated power... is too similar.

How is that possible? There shouldn't be any enemies on earth today that require her to use Yu Duchen's first rated power to defeat...

But no matter what, if things really come to that point, she hopes that before she regains everything, someone can keep these memories for her and protect this piece of China for her...
