The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"I'm sorry, the Lord is resting, you can't go in now.

"Oh? Then can't we just call him up? He kept saying that World Snake needs me, but he took me back to World Snake for more than two months and only asked me to do some chores. The most dangerous task was solved. A Honkai Emperor, does he think he is humorous?"

"Come on, my eldest lady, the remuneration is not less than yours. You are doing a safe job, and you are getting several times the remuneration you received when you were a Valkyrie. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

With a sneer, Meiyi pulled out a long purple knife from the void, pointing the tip of the knife diagonally towards the ground.

"Do you think I am you? Of course, I don't mind if you continue to block me. After all, there is still an unsettled account between you and me in Tianzhu City. Raven."

The raven spread its red claws silently, and the thick lower brim of the hood was pushed up a little to get a better view.

"I don't mind having a fight here. Even if you are no longer what you used to be, I still want to see if the Herrscher is really as durable as they say. Or will you continue to be suppressed by me? My Miss Raiden Mei!”

The electric arc and Crow Feather collided in the space, but did not make any sound.

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that the conflict had not yet escalated to the point where it had to be resolved by force. Even if it had reached that level, the entrance to the World Serpent's temple was by no means a good place to fight.

Mei just wanted to use this kind of conflict to force Mikael to show up. Of course Natasha couldn't help but see this, but she didn't care. She wanted to see Mikael helpless at the hands of the young lady in front of her.

But she didn't expect that she would soon become a clown.

"Raven, you seem to be very loyal to Mikael..."

"Huh? Really? Who asked him to pay him so much? You know, mercenaries, as long as the pay is enough, everything else is fine."

After saying that, Natasha blinked quickly at Mei.

She felt that her hint had been obvious enough, and if it went too far, it would be almost explicit.

However, Mei seems to be completely unable to understand her brain circuit:

"I said, in just a few sentences, you mentioned your reward twice. Is that kind of thing that important to you? Oh... I almost forgot, Xiao Kong told me, you saved money before The island I bought with money, the villas on it were almost completed, but they were sunk forever in the great collapse. What did Xiaokong say at the time——"

"That's enough, that's enough! Raiden Mei, don't say any more!"

Raven covered her face and begged, but Mei crossed her arms and showed no intention of giving in.

"Then you should get out of the way and at least help me wake up the guy inside."

"My Miss Raiden Mei, it's very difficult for me to do this..."

"'I still remember the teacher's appearance at that time. She was expressionless and silent, but she kept pacing back and forth in the room, running, rolling... She kept saying that it was okay, but she shed tears. Falling down in big drops.'"

"Ah ah ah ah please stop talking..."

"'Finally, the teacher couldn't help but rushed out, howling at the end of the sea, as sad as a child... She kept crying, and kept crying until her tears dried up and her voice became hoarse, and then she stood up. I will never stand up. I can't forget the oath she made to the sunset at that moment - no matter what the cost, humanity will definitely defeat Honkai!'"

Even though he covered his ears in despair, Mei's voice still reached his ears with a powerful penetrating power. Until the end, the raven's cheeks trembled, his lips parted in a straight line, and then he sighed heavily, whimpering and accusing. road:

“I can’t stand the online violence anymore!!!”

"Pfft——"

"?"

Mei covered her mouth with her fingertips and shook her head slightly to indicate that the person who laughed just now was not her.

Natasha put down the hands that were tearing her hair, and after looking at each other silently with Mei, they both turned their heads and focused on the huge stone door not far behind the raven.

The light from the distance shone obliquely, making the already gray stone door look like the skin of a dead person.

Meiyi tentatively put her hand over it, and the door opened inward with a loud "bang".

"It seems that you two have a good relationship after performing a mission together for a month."

The huge stone door only opened a gap, a gap just big enough to accommodate an adult man.

A shadow squirmed and lengthened from the deeper darkness until it finally turned into Mikael's figure.

The light in the distance wanted to illuminate Mikael's face, but the angle was not enough, and it barely illuminated the alchemy-colored feather-shaped brooch on the left collar of the coat.

"Haha, I just talked for a long time, and it turns out you were eavesdropping behind the door."

The main character finally appeared, but Mei Yi didn't feel very happy.

At this time, she couldn't help but think back to the game experience that Kiana and Bronya shared with her - for some level-breaking games, successfully reaching the level where the boss is located is indeed worthy of celebration, but as long as she thinks about the next boss Zhan didn’t seem so happy anymore.

Today's Mikael is like this to Mei.

Even if you know him well enough, even if you can accurately distinguish which of his words are true and which are lies, the effect it can have seems to be extremely limited.

She still couldn't figure out what Mikael wanted to do, and the communication with Mikael in this state only made people nervous and disgusting at the same time.

Naturally, there will be no good look on his face.

"Now that you have heard everything, please tell me something quickly - what do you want me to do when you ask me to join the World Snake?"

"I find it a little strange, Mei, when did you become so concerned about the World Snake? From your position, you should be hoping that the World Snake will raise you in vain, right?"

Mikael's right hand slowly rose and disappeared into the darkness where the light could not reach, but Mei guessed that he was holding his chin firmly.

"Mikael, you won't forget the reason why I came to World Serpent, right? It was you who said that you wanted to stand beside Kiana and fight side by side in the next war, just with the power of Herrscher of Thunder It’s not enough at all, and there is a place in your world where I can gain more power.”

Meiyi didn't notice at all. When Natasha, who was standing next to her, heard the last sentence, she silently pulled down the hood she had just pushed up.

"Hmm... hmm? The World Snake has such a place. But Mei, have you made a mistake? I didn't say I would help you for free. You have to have a begging attitude when asking for help. I didn't teach you before. Do you want it? Your current attitude of asking for everything is not acceptable."

Meiyi's lower lip was bitten tightly, and the corners of her mouth kept trembling. Fear and anger were intertwined, and they were indistinguishable from each other. She even heard that the raven beside her was so nervous that she held her breath, and then...

"Dangdang! It's a joke!"

"call--"

“Let’s talk after we come in first!”

Mikael walked out with a smile on his face, but his eyes were narrowed, making it increasingly difficult to guess whether he was really happy because his joke scared Mei, or whether he was just covering up his inner feelings with such a detached attitude. Anger - this is what Mei Yi always finds a headache when getting along with Mikael. Once Mikael's emotions leave the scope of daily good-humored conversations and enter such a violently fluctuating situation, she has no way of distinguishing between them. Which attitude is false and which attitude is true.

After sighing again, Mei Yi and Mikael's bodies were intertwined, one facing inside the temple and the other facing outside.

This time, Mei Yi didn't talk too much. After stepping into the gap of the stone door, she looked back with a sense of solidity that the dust had settled.

Mikael casually lifted off Natasha's hood, pulled out the dull hair on her head, and then whispered:

"Okay, the task of standing guard for me is over. Go find Gray Snake No. [0137896] to get your reward."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Natasha raised her hand and snatched Daimao back, put her hood back on, stared at her helpless and innocent rose-red eyes, and started bargaining under Mei's unsurprising gaze:

"My hair just provided you with huge emotional value. Oh... no, my sad story is also included, so... look, should I open two more copies?"

"..."

Mikael retracted his hand in a pause, like an old-fashioned robot, but such an exaggerated movement didn't feel out of place on him.

"Okay, okay, anyway, you are just asking for money, and your requirements are much lower than someone else's."

Mikael clenched his fist, and when he opened it again, there were two Mebius ring-shaped tokens in his palm.

"Well, it's still the same old rules."

Natasha's face was filled with a rare smile. She quickly reached out to hold the two tokens, but used this action to get closer to Mikael and asked softly:

"Where are you sending Raiden Mei? Are you crazy? She is a Herrscher!"

"So what?"

Corresponding to her, Mikael did not deliberately lower his voice.

Mei Yi's hearing has not deteriorated to the point where she cannot hear the sound of breath clearly from three to four meters away. The reason why someone would do this is probably because they don't want the other person to find out that they secretly care about her?

"You...others are fine, but if...if Raiden Meiyi meets him...forget it, you should be better than me."

Natasha lowered her head and hesitated for a moment, then finally pulled up her hood and prepared to collect her reward.

Mikael watched her back quietly. It wasn't until she walked down the hundreds of steps in front of the temple that Mikael gently called out:

"Nata?"

"what happened again?"

The raven's voice was full of impatience - although the token for receiving the reward was already in hand, no one would be willing to get it a second earlier than later.

But Mikael was obviously not in a hurry. He slowly raised his hand and gently covered his head:

"Let me tell you a secret quietly - Alicia only likes cute girls. When you grew up, you wore a hood all the time. She thought you were not cute, so she stopped showing up."

"you!"

The raven turned quickly and walked away without looking back. But while walking, the hood was put down at some point.

Mikael closed his eyes and took a deep breath intoxicatedly, as if to snatch away all the wandering light particles from the gloomy space.

He then turned to look at Mei Yi's position and walked back behind her silently.

The moment his feet crossed the dividing line between light and darkness, the stone door quickly closed with a roar, until all the light dissipated.

"Gudu——"

Mei swallowed hard.

Darkness can dissolve all reason and replace it with fear. Mei turned her head nervously from side to side, trying to find Mikael.

"Don't worry, take your time."

There was gentle pressure on her shoulders, a feeling Meiyi was all too familiar with.

As Mikael whispered, cold flames suddenly lit up in the darkness on both sides.

Two flames were ignited in a dark night without even the moonlight. Human beings hundreds of thousands of years ago relied on them for warmth and lighting. But would the first person who saw two fires at night mistake them for the eyes of an unknown giant beast hiding in the dark night? Mei Yi has never seen humans hundreds of thousands of years ago, so she naturally can't give any answer, just like she doesn't understand why her legs can't stop shaking at this moment.

Are you afraid? Are you afraid of the darkness in front of you or the beast in your imagination? In fact, needless to say, the only thing that can make a Herrscher feel afraid is the person behind her.

"Are you afraid? Your belief is nothing more than this... Although it is undeniable that it is a bit scary, but now, listen to me - move forward."

Mei Yi bit her lip tightly, but her body unconsciously took a step forward.

In an instant, countless flames lit up in the darkness, and the flames extended deeper into the darkness until they illuminated the lonely stone seat a hundred meters away. The light also ran wildly to both sides, but touched nothing.

Mikael didn't say anything else. He walked past Mei Yi, who looked at his back dullly for two seconds, and then quickly followed.

"It seems that you and Raven have had a good relationship over the past two months."

"It's okay. It's not as difficult to get along with as I thought, and it's probably because... we have some common topics because of some common experiences."

Mei Yi's heartbeat gradually slowed down, and her answer was a little absent-minded, as if she was feebly concealing something.

"The so-called common ground...forget it."

What they have in common...isn't it Mikael?

The sound of the friendly collision between the heels and the ground continued to echo. When he came to his senses, the two of them had arrived under the stone seat.

Mikael waved his hand, and the runes of unknown meaning on the stone throne lit up. The space was torn apart by the dim starlight, and the huge star gate floated silently, like a strange and ominous mirror.

Before Mei could say anything, Mikael grabbed her hand and pulled her directly across the star gate.

When I opened my eyes again, the empty temple turned into a deserted hall. Looking around, I saw a leisure area dominated by orange sofas on one side and an office emitting blue light on the other. Such a layout is really puzzling. , but if they have anything in common, it is the absence of human beings. In the entire hall, she only saw Mikael standing next to her like a sculpture.

"You are lucky to have caught up with the major renovation here. Otherwise, you would have had to walk with me in a sewer-like tunnel for a long time to get here."

"Then my luck is really good."

Pretending not to hear the sarcasm and ridicule in Mei Yi's words, Mikael touched her forehead unexpectedly, and then whispered:

"This is the paradise of the past, that is, the place where you can make yourself stronger. Here, you will meet many interesting people, and they will guide you on how to gain power and how to use power - no matter what Is it on the physical or conscious level? Of course, some people may be too enthusiastic, and some people may be too cold, but the reality is that they don’t know how to communicate with others. But for you, Mei, these are not the case. No problem, as long as you make more ramen, curry rice and desserts, there is no problem that cannot be solved.”

"Even if I'm a Herrscher?"

"Uh-huh! Let's go, let's go, I still have important things to discuss with someone."

Leaving Mei enough room to think, Mikael waved his hands and disappeared in front of her.

"what the hell……"

Mei Yi shook her head and was about to shout "Is there anyone there" at the top of her voice? Suddenly, a strange swelling and pain came from her brain. A lot of things seemed to have happened in that short second, and something squeezed It entered her brain, and it seemed like nothing happened.

What dispelled this strange feeling for her was a voice that was so out of the ordinary that she felt a little unhappy when she heard it:

"Hi!"

Mei Yi turned around slowly, and there was already a pink figure on the orange sofa on her left.

However, the other party's uninvited attitude made Mei frown slightly, and couldn't help but think of what Mikael called "people who are so enthusiastic that they cause trouble."

"Who are you……"

"This is my first time meeting this visitor. I am Alicia. My name means Eternal Paradise. Do you remember it?"

The pink-haired girl was sitting relaxedly on the sofa, her legs crossed, her right arm resting on the backrest, and her head slightly tilted to the right.

Suddenly, her lovely facial features wrinkled together, and she flashed in front of her before Mei Yi could make any reaction, and before Mei Yi could draw her out of the void, she pointed the black muzzle of the pistol at Mei Yi's forehead. .

"Sure enough, I feel right. You are a Herrscher... Haha, do you dare to come here even if you are a Herrscher?"

For a moment, Meiyi's mind was blank and at a loss... She almost subconsciously swung the knife, but found that her body did not move with her consciousness at all.

This meant that she could only watch the girl in front of her pull the trigger——

"boom!"

A bright red rose jumped out from the gun, and the petals followed the fragrance and flew straight to Mei's face.

"Dang!" (End of this chapter)
