"Master, I understand. I will protect myself. You just stay in Saint Freya and take care of Qiana and the others... What? You want Uncle Ji Lin to come and protect me secretly? Uh, okay, thank you, Master."
An Qi finished the call with Fu Hua with emotion and "resistance", and Shan Shan returned to the bridge deck late.
Then she wrinkled her nose and looked at Bronya and Theresa with suspicion, both of whom had blank expressions.
"Did you guys just say something about me?"
Bronya: “No.”
Theresa: “Absolutely not!”
Angel blinked in confusion, then skipped the topic and held Bronya's soft little hand.
"Really? All right then. Anyway, Bronya, I will be careful to be lenient with your mother, so don't worry, nothing will happen!"
"Well, thank you, Angie..."
Bronya tightened Angel's hand and lowered her head, feeling guilty and remorseful.
Chapter 189 Anna: The Little Boat of Friendship...
Law is a natural disaster.
The hurricane that penetrated the sky and the earth swallowed up the clouds and the ice and snow covering the entire snowfield. The exploding thermal weapons created one melting pit after another, and the hole created by the black hole swallowing was so huge that it looked like the abyss of hell.
So let me emphasize again, the Herrscher is a natural disaster, and it is a conscious natural disaster that can accurately distinguish between humans and non-humans and then inflict destruction.
When the hurricane calmed down and the chaotic gravity returned to normal, the earth completely changed its undulating shape like surging waves. The damage caused by fluid filaments and black holes made the ground become like a piece of paper scribbled by a child, completely unrecognizable and shocking.
Delta was looking at the sky in the distance. Walter, who was smiling motionlessly, suddenly frowned and casually passed a piece of silk thread over.
The phantom was cut and disappeared without a trace.
"It's fine if you sneak attack, but you run away without even saying anything. You old man really have no martial ethics."
Delta sighed helplessly and descended from the sky.
When we arrived at a mound of earth, we saw the rubble and earth shaking. After a while, a dirty muddy hand emerged from under the earth.
"Wow! A famous scene from a horror movie. Why didn't I bring a camera?"
"Pah, pah, pah! Lady Delta, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."
The dusty Valkyrie crawled out of the pile of dirt, spat out the sand in her mouth several times, and replied awkwardly.
Delta spread out her little hands, then snapped her fingers, and a swift wind surrounded the opponent, quickly restoring the battle-damaged Valkyrie to a clean state.
"Do you know where the guy with the gem went?"
"Well, satellite images are no longer useful. We tried to track it with drones and mechas, but as you can see, they were all destroyed by the Herrscher of Reason. So..."
"So there's no way to catch up. Then find a way to contact Archbishop Otto. I've been working overtime all night, so let me get some sleep."
Delta fell on the other's back while speaking, and fell asleep peacefully as soon as she finished speaking.
The Valkyrie was left with a confused look on her face. She turned around and saw the cherry-pink face resting on her shoulder. She looked up and saw the messy and shattered land. She had no communicator in her hand and could not see the figures of her lost colleagues. She froze in place, not knowing what to do.
……
"Delta-sama...Delta-sama..."
"Hmm? Is it daybreak yet?"
"It's already light. It's afternoon now."
"Who am I? Where am I? Tsk!"
Delta sucked her saliva blankly.
The Valkyries who had gathered together immediately covered their mouths, their shoulders trembling, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
It was the Valkyrie who carried Delta on her back the whole way who was the most patient. She handed a communicator to Delta steadily.
"Lord Delta, the Archbishop...poof...looking for you."
Delta blinked blankly, then took it nonchalantly and saw Otto's image.
"Hello, can I go home from get off work now, Archbishop?"
"Wendy is on the Hyperion, heading to the Anti-Entropy East Sea Base. Judging by the time, she will be there soon."
"...I want triple overtime pay."
"I'll give you ten times the reward. Keep trying, Delta."
Otto ended the call with a smile, and it was clear that his mood had improved.
In the past five hundred years, he knew very well how stupid it was to be furious. If the Serenity Gem was thrown away, then it was thrown away. If it really didn't work, he could take the Plague Gem out of the True Red Knight Eclipse, or pay Delta to input the power of the Desire Gem, which could play a role in awakening the Herrscher of the Void.
Therefore, the actual losses are not that unacceptable.
Besides, isn't there still a possibility of getting it back?
There is no need to let this kind of thing affect your rationality. Instead, it is not necessarily a bad thing to use this accident to catch the big fish that are currently submerged in the water and take a good look at the real world situation.
Otto was very cheerful, but Delta looked depressed.
"Lord Delta, are you hungry?"
A Valkyrie asked cautiously, holding out some compressed dry food and bagged water.
"Gu~"
The sounds of hunger came from the Valkyries.
Delta looked around at the dusty and battle-damaged Valkyrie and tilted her head.
"You don't want to eat?"
"Well, the amount of food we found is limited, and we should give priority to the highest-ranking Valkyries. We have received strict training, so it doesn't matter if we go hungry for a few days. We will be fine once the reinforcements arrive."
"Forget it, I'm a Herrscher, it doesn't matter whether I eat it or not, just divide it among yourselves."
In fact, it’s mainly because their lives have improved, their appetites have become more sophisticated, and they have no interest in dry food.
But the Valkyries around him clearly didn't think so. No one knew what was going on in their minds, as they all looked flattered and moved.
"You are different from what we imagined."
"Oh."
"To be honest, we just found out that the new S-rank Valkyrie is a so-called artificial Herrscher. We can't accept it. After all, common sense tells us that Herrscher is humanity's greatest enemy."
"You have a high level of authority, and you can even know my true identity."
"I am a senior A-rank Valkyrie after all. Unfortunately, after carrying out a mission with Lady Rita, I knew that I would never be able to reach S-rank in this life."
"It's a pity, S-rank soldiers are entitled to long-term vacations... But I suspect I've been cheated. I've only been an S-rank soldier for a few months, and I've already been out of commission several times. It's not as free as promised when I was recruited!"
Delta said with deep resentment.
Although, the reason for the business trip is that I am the one causing trouble.
After complaining, Delta looked at these young ladies with some guilt - not only did they play guerrilla warfare with me for a whole night, but now they are still so desperate and have to blow the cold wind in this wilderness for a day or two.
But the drama in the East China Sea has already begun. If stupid Wendy doesn't watch out, she might end up in danger.
It is most reassuring to take care of your own people yourself.
Delta sighed, flew up, said goodbye to them, and headed towards the East China Sea.
……
The East China Sea Base, an increasingly large and solid offshore fortress, is still under active expansion.
In the noisy and bustling fringe area, Anna went down to the deck on a safety rope to hammer in steel nails. With a well-fitting helmet tied tightly around her chin, she blinked blankly at Yulandel and Yaesakura who were sitting on the steel bars opposite her.
"Yulandel, why are you here?"
"Anna, why are you here?"
A pair of close friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time asked at the same time, blinking their big, innocent and confused eyes.
Yaesakura tilted her head in confusion, and question marks popped up one after another on her head.
"Anna, have you finished hammering in the reinforcement nails?"
"Boss, we're almost there. Go look at the steel plate over there first. I just forgot to count. I'll go up there myself after I finish here. I'm an A-rank Valkyrie, so I won't get hurt."
"Okay, then you work hard."
"Sure!"
Anna skillfully dealt with the foreman, then holding the electric drill, thought for a while, and excitedly swung on the safety rope.
"You are here to save me, right, Yulandel? That's great, I thought you had forgotten about me. I knew you would save me. We are good friends, hahaha!"
"Uh, not really. We're here to find the Serenity Stone."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Anna hung there motionless.
Yulandel also lowered her head in shame.
Only Yaesakura looked at the two of them, and regretfully discovered that she had not brought potato chips and Happy Water, which was a real mistake.
Chapter 190 Rita has nothing to say
"You said they were your fellow villagers and came to seek refuge with you?"
"Yeah yeah!"
"But they look so delicate, are you sure you can do it?"
"Hey, boss, you are underestimating me! Since you are from my hometown, you must be as strong and hardworking as me. I will definitely not let you down! Just tell me whether you want it or not."
Anna assured the foreman with a pat on her chest.
The foreman touched his chin, thought for a moment, frowned and said:
"I still find it weird. Don't they have jobs? Why would they come here to work on a construction site?"
"Uh... well... it's mainly because the original job wasn't going well for me, just like me."
"What do you mean?"
"Ah, the work there is so complicated that I don't even want to say anything. It's not like on a construction site, where good is good and bad is bad, just one brick at a time and one shovel of mud, it's all clear, right?"
Anna adjusted the little yellow hat, looking serious and distressed.
Yes, it's too complicated out there.
A close friend whom I have known for so many years, I can forget him just like that.
Anna almost lost hope and wanted to become the Herrscher of Gray.
But she is a gentle and good child. Even though Youlandel had betrayed her first, at the request of her best friend, Anna had no choice but to agree to be a ladder for her friend and help Youlandel "?qun<>舞≌悟)7;#$溜+凌≮林¥j¤⒌⌒令^" and Yaezakura break into the construction site.
The foreman's sister sighed when she heard this, looking like someone who had experienced it before.
"That's true. I'm tired of those idiots who only know how to draw pie-in-the-sky pictures, so... ahem! Forget it. I believe in your judgment, but do the higher-ups agree? We are a military base, we can't do anything rash."
"Well... think about it, if they don't have permission, can they come ashore? Can they swim all the way across the sea and climb up? Don't worry, I know Lady Cocolia very well. I wait for her at her doorstep every day!"
Anna suppressed her guilt and lied to the foreman who had always been kind to her.
These words are clearly effective.
After a while, Yulandel and Yaesakura received their work clothes and yellow hats.
So, as a skilled worker, Anna was responsible for guiding the two newcomers.
Seeing Yulandel and Yaezakura, who were dressed in work clothes, cleaning the dust seriously but not skillfully under her command, Anna pressed the little yellow hat, and for some reason, she felt a sense of accomplishment.
"It seems like I'm getting closer and closer to the white hat!"
Anna muttered a little happily.
There are different levels of hats on the construction site: red represents senior leaders, white represents site managers and supervisors, and yellow represents ordinary workers. The hierarchy is strict and inviolable.
"Ahem! Anna, you just said that you are very familiar with Cocolia?"
"Well, what's wrong, Yulandel?"
