Chapter 130 The Lord Must Be Very Pleased!
Otto picked up the teacup and took a sip happily.
He glanced at Stan and the little white-haired doll on the table, then continued to sip tea without any concern.
A kitten with Rita-level combat power fused with Honkai beasts, and an ELF that could compete with Durandal—if the time was a hundred years earlier, or even just fifty years, Otto would have been very interested in conducting research.
But now, the Second Divine Key has just been obtained, and his plan will continue to move forward. The long-cherished wish of five hundred years is coming to him step by step. At this time, the rest of the things are no longer worth his attention.
Whether it is Stan or the exhausted Shamash, if Durandal likes it, just keep it as a toy for her. Otto has no desire to interfere.
"Lord Otto, Rita wants to ask, what kind of organization is the World Serpent?"
Rita brewed the tea and cast her watery eyes at Otto.
In the past, she only thought that the world was a stage for Schicksal and Anti-entropy, in which Schicksal was the absolute protagonist and Anti-entropy was a fly that copied others' words. But the twists and turns encountered in this mission proved that there was actually a third party, and it seemed that the water was still very deep.
For future missions, Rita thought it was necessary to increase some understanding.
Otto smiled when he heard this.
"That is a group of mystics with a long history. You don't have to worry too much. In most cases, you won't meet them, and they won't interfere with our actions."
"Long history? Isn't our Schicksal longer?"
"It's hard to say. They have a deep connection with the previous era. Maybe they are the backhand left by the previous civilization."
"Huh!?"
Rita was really surprised, and her rosy lips opened slightly.
She was familiar with the history of Schicksal. It's not an exaggeration to say that it is the source of modern European civilization.
But the backhand of the previous civilization is really scary.
The current world's main technologies to fight against the Honkai, such as the Divine Key, Soulium, Stigmata, Valkyrie Battlesuits, etc., all started from archaeology.
Who doesn't know the power of the previous civilization?
It is a kind of brilliance that makes people amazed the more they understand it. If the World Serpent originated from the previous civilization, then this organization is too deep, and it is probably far more of a threat that can be compared to Anti-entropy.
"Does Lord Otto know their purpose?"
"Either to continue the glory of the previous civilization or to defeat the Honkai in the current civilization and avenge the previous shame, there are only these purposes. Don't worry, everything is under my control, you just need to know it, don't worry about their existence."
Otto said with a smile, with a calm expression.
Rita then put down her heart again.
Otto can say this, she naturally believes it, she will just remember it for the time being, and wait and see what happens in the future.
Durandal was stroking the cat and eating snacks, puffing her cheeks and saying:
"Lord Otto is right. No matter who they are, they can't stop our determination to protect the world. If they dare to stop us, I will defeat them!"
"Lord Durandal, how many times have I told you not to talk while eating? Cookie crumbs are falling out."
Rita lowered her body with amusement and helplessness, carefully wiping the food crumbs left on Durandal's mouth and the high part of her chest.
Durandal smiled embarrassedly.
Everything was very harmonious.
But the sound of slightly hurried footsteps suddenly approached.
"Lord Otto, you are here? The Cosmic Juggernaut has been moved to the main island of Helheim as planned. The next arrangements, the Tower Bridge destroyed by Lord Durandal when she subdued the ELF, and other important matters that you left aside during your absence need to be dealt with as soon as possible."
Amber hurried over with a serious expression and a powerful aura that was impressive.
The smile on Otto's face disappeared little by little.
Durandal and Rita also looked serious, one sitting straight, the other standing straight, and they all looked at Otto.
Otto coughed dryly. "Ahem! Well, I just came back after all, and my new body seems to have not been fully adjusted. Why don't we wait two days to..."
"Lord Otto, this is something that can be handled in parallel. Please move to the Archbishop's office. The entire Schicksal is waiting for your decision!"
"I... uh... oh, by the way, I remember I have something very important to deal with! I'll go to the laboratory first, and you can come to me later. You can handle other things first!"
"Okay, move the office to your laboratory! Amber understands, and I'll arrange it now!"
Amber said decisively. Under the exquisite and beautiful golden eye mask, the perfect half of her face did not show any joking meaning.
And Durandal stood up. "Lord Otto, there is no time to lose, please leave immediately!"
"No! Wait!"
"The Archbishop's work cannot be slacked off, so I'll go over and help!"
"No need! I am fully capable of handling it, you continue your afternoon tea, goodbye!"
Otto showed an unfathomable smile, pressed Durandal's shoulders, and let her sit down again.
Then, Otto and Amber left the pavilion, and their steps seemed a little full—Amber's stare was enough to kill him, and with Durandal's honest and serious attitude, he wouldn't be able to catch his breath for the next two days!
"Lord Otto, is he really okay?"
"Haha, Lord Otto's wisdom is as deep as the sea, and he can handle some small things easily. Lord Durandal doesn't have to worry, just continue to enjoy afternoon tea. I also prepared Black Forest cake, I will go get it now, how about asking Lord Durandal to taste it for me?"
Rita smiled and poured Durandal a cup of tea.
Durandal swallowed her saliva when she heard about the cake, and she didn't care about Otto.
"Cake...Is the calorie content a bit too high? But my vacation is over, so I have to do a few more sets of physical training to warm up my body. Okay, then bring it up quickly! Hahaha, Stan, come and try this cookie!"
Durandal gave up thinking, and while waiting for the cake, she teased her new pet with a smile on her face.
Stan ate the biscuits meekly, licked Durandal's slender and white fingers with his cat tongue, and made a sweet and lovely cat cry.
Rita turned and left, shaking her head and sighing helplessly.
Alas, my Lord Durandal! You turn the table when the leader picks up food, and you brake when the leader drinks water. If you were not really invincible, you would have been kicked out of the headquarters years ago!
Speaking of which, there is another strong man in the Oceania branch who is the same. Fortunately, she is not in the headquarters, otherwise it would be chaos.
...
"A-choo!"
"Hmm? You have a cold?"
"Which cold virus do you think can survive in a body implanted with the Herrscher Gem?"
"How should I know? But I know that idiots generally don't catch a cold, so you probably don't have a cold."
In the Oceania branch, Wendy pushed her wheelchair, strolled on the road, and basked in the sun, nodding seriously.
A second later, she let go, turned around, and ran for her life.
"Wendy! Stop right there!"
"No way! Slightly~~"
Under the sun, the wheelchair and the Valkyrie's speed race started again.
...
When Durandal put Stan on the table to enjoy the cake, Stan finally touched the Kevin Doll when no one was paying attention.
'Hey, little Kevin, I'm sorry, please have a good sleep! I'll take this body for now, and I'll give you a better one when I have the chance in the future! Hehe, I'm just making good use of your body, instead of letting it gather dust in the warehouse like in the original timeline, you will definitely be very pleased if you know it!'
Angel has long been drooling over a body that can fight against Durandal head-on, without a clear winner, until it's energy is exhausted.
Stan's claws touched Shamash's small body, and no one saw it.
Then, Stan lazily lay on the table, looking lazy and asleep.
And Shamash's tiny eyelashes trembled slightly, and when no one knew, it fell silent again, as if it had never reacted.
