Honkai Biography - Vol 8 Chapter 127
late at night,
In a castle similar to the medieval European nobles.
More than 20 girls, including Karen, Rita, Anna, Kafka, Kiana, Bianca, Raiden Mei, and Bronya, sat around a worn-out oil lamp full of pine resin, dimmed by candlelight. They frowned and silently ate the military rations and compressed food they had brought before they came.
The girls are all wearing the latest multi-functional individual combat uniforms made by Tianting. The style is simple and capable, but not ugly, and it is very powerful.
It is said to be the castle of the nobles, but it is also for the people of this world. In their eyes, this is a slightly larger “broken pigsty”.
Although it is the best “pig pen” in the nearby Shili Baxiang.
The castle refers to the “city fortress”, which is not only the residence of the European nobles in the Middle Ages, but also used for military purposes. It is a paramilitary residence built for the purpose of war.
The main body of this castle is made of stone, and the walls are very thick, which can ensure no air leakage and is not afraid of being attacked by fire. There are two sentry towers and arrow towers also made of stone on the outside, and a circle of wood, which can be used for fire. A tall fence that supports standing people.
The specifications are not large, and it belongs to a relatively small and rudimentary castle.
From the outside, it didn’t look very good. When I entered the house, it turned out that it was not much better, but worse.
Not only was the house unfurnished, but the sanitary conditions were quite bad, dirty, messy, poor, and there was a disgusting smell, the composition of which was very complex, mixed with the fragrance of spices, the smell of livestock, the damp musty smell, The smell of burning wood, the smell of excrement…
It can be said that modern pig houses are cleaner and hygienic than this castle.
The original owner of the castle lived with the livestock he owned, and this was probably not his quirk. According to Karen’s guess, the nobles in this world may all live in this way, with people and animals living under the same roof. Down.
Karen has experience with this. When she was a child, she saw with her own eyes how the nobles of Europe lived. That’s how they lived, even the king. Of course, the king’s life will definitely be much better. At least his palace is big enough, there are enough servants, the food is relatively delicious, and he has more mistresses and illegitimate children.
The bad environment and smell brought back memories of Karen, memories that she didn’t want to recall.
In fact, her living environment when she was a child was much better than that of ordinary nobles and even kings, because her family was not comparable to those ignorant princes and ministers.
This world bubble is simply too bad, no wonder when she came, Lord Wutong once said that this place is also a difficult experience for her.
Living in such an environment would be better than pitching a tent in the wild.
In fact, last night, they spent the night outside pitching a tent, and tonight is their second day in this world.
They “come” to a small remote village. Due to the language barrier, they do not know the name of the place.
During the daytime today, a local noble may have learned that a group of beautiful and delicate girls had come to his territory, so he led the knights and entourage to capture them all.
This situation is normal. From the nobleman’s point of view, everything in his territory should be his, unless the backstage of these girls is harder.
But a group of people who can’t even speak “human words” and can’t communicate, the noble lords can’t imagine what kind of backstage they can have, even if they look well-dressed and more beautiful than princesses.
Even if there is a backstage, there is a high probability that it is the enemy of the empire. Because of the language barrier, it may be the son of the nobles of other countries.
In fact, the lord is very daring and fascinated. He has never seen or heard of such a beautiful girl.
Moreover, his territory, he has the final say, first grab it back and enjoy it. Even if someone asks later, he can say that he has never seen it. The big deal is that he will kill all the girls and bury them later.
Although it is a pity, in his opinion, his life is more precious.
The result is obvious, Karen and others did come to the nobleman’s house, but the nobleman lost his home.
Even Xier’s force alone can completely abuse the group of noble entourages who use simple firearms that are easy to escape and self-explode, let alone Apoonia.
It was Aponia’s gentleness and kindness that saved them a life. It was Aponia’s kindness and teachings to let them kneel on the ground and repent for their crimes for a day.
Really good intentions, out of good intentions.
But kindness may not bring good results. If the lord has no remorse and wants to take revenge, his future will definitely be worse.
Apollonian didn’t know his past and actions, and didn’t have time to explore, so he gave him a chance to reform, and it’s up to him to figure it out.
How a person’s future will be depends on his own choice.
Ignorance can enlighten, stupidity can’t be cured.
Although under the guidance of Rita, the girls thoroughly cleaned the castle and drove the livestock outside, the smell in the room still did not dissipate, it was just a little weaker.
No way, the age of this castle is really too long, I don’t know how many generations it has been passed down.
They cleaned from day to night, and only now did they finally rest and have time to eat.
In fact, I can’t even eat, and I have no appetite at all.
But rice has to be eaten, “people are iron, rice is steel”!
It can also be seen from this point that the girls who came to experience this time are very strong, ordinary people living in modern civilization, in this environment, smelling this disgusting smell, can force themselves to eat, No complaints yet, most people may not be able to do it.
“Squeak, squeak…”
The sound of mice gnawing at wood.
In the quiet night, the sound of the burning oil lamp, the chirping of insects outside and the sound of mice grinding their teeth were particularly clear.
Karen frowned, feeling even more irritable in her heart. Eating non-disgusting food with nausea made her very upset.
Shouldn’t it be for enjoyment when tasting food? Why suffer like this? This is a desecration of food!
“Bianca, can you stop playing with the mice?” Caroline said, “What a dirty thing, throw it out.”
Apart from Aponia and Kiana, Karen was the eldest and most senior of the group of little girls.
Although her character is a bit “husky”, she can also put on a majestic and reliable appearance in front of the younger generation.
The girl with white hair and blue eyes, holding a wooden stick in her hand and teasing the big gray mouse, was taken aback for a moment, then she turned her head and said, “Uh… are you talking about me? I’m Kiana.”
“…”
“Ancestor, I’m Bianca, have you even forgotten what I look like?” Bianca on the side pointed to herself.
“…Sorry, the light is too dim to see clearly.” Karen explained, “You two look alike, and you still wear the same clothes.”
“But I’m sitting next to you!” Bianca looked innocent.
Karen’s face was a little bit unbearable: “Don’t talk nonsense, you and I are on duty tonight, you also hurry to eat, go to bed early after eating, rest early, and clean it up a few times tomorrow to keep the air flowing.”
In her heart, she was very puzzled, what happened to the girl, Lord Wutong? How do you look like you haven’t seen the world? Is it a novelty to see mice? Can you play with mice?
Karen likes small animals very much, but she doesn’t like mice. After all, when she was a child, she personally experienced the great plague of plague, called “Black Death”, that swept the entire medieval Europe.
Of course, the plague had a reason for its collapse, but rats were also one of the murderers.
She decided to throw this annoying mouse out tonight while the little princess Qiana was asleep.
Thinking of this, Karen came back to her senses and told everyone, “Although the sanitation environment here is very poor… um… Maybe in this world bubble, where there are human gatherings, the sanitation environment is very poor, you must Prepare yourself mentally in advance.
“However, no matter how bad the environment is, we must also pay attention to personal hygiene, and more importantly, physical health, and don’t get sick, because the medical technology and medical environment here may be worse and more ignorant, so ignorant that you can’t imagine.
“You must have already noticed that in this world bubble, there is no Houkai energy, and the “world” is still slowly depriving our body of the Houkai energy. This feeling is very uncomfortable and painful.
“I don’t know why this is the case, except for Lord Aponia, even me, has been affected by this.
“Therefore, even if we don’t engage in high-intensity battles, in a few months, the Houkai energy in our bodies will disappear. At that time, we will be no different from ordinary people in this world, and we will become extremely weak. A disease, a simple firearm, may threaten our lives.
“So, we have to be extremely cautious and careful.
“Of course, we don’t have to be too frustrated and disturbed. With the protection of Lord Apollo, no one can threaten our lives.
“Moreover, you are all excellent fighters, carefully selected fighters, even if you can no longer use Honkai Energy, have no stigmata, and become no longer special, our physical fitness and combat experience are better than this world. human beings are too strong.
“Believe in yourself, our future is not bleak, after this experience, we will definitely be reborn, including me.
“Come on! Girls!”
Karen finally clapped her hands and gave a word of encouragement.
“Come on!” The girls forcibly raised their spirits and echoed.
Among them, Kiana and Bianca have the loudest voices, and they look very energetic.
Seeing this, Karen is very satisfied. The quality of these girls is really good. At least, they will not experience setbacks and hardships. Facing the unknown future, they will be hit by the difficulties and confusion in front of them. slumped.
“correct.”
Rita, who was standing in the corner, suddenly said, “We can eat the food we brought, don’t keep it, and don’t want to eat it. The food after that will be obtained from this world bubble.”
“Why?” Bianca tilted her head and raised doubts.
“Because, before we came here, most of the things we prepared in advance may not be available soon, including weapons and equipment and the God key to store items.” Rita explained with a patient smile, ” The world is not only depriving us of the Houkai energy within us, it is also depriving them of it.”
“…”
Bianca was silent for a moment, then turned her head and asked Xilin, “Is it really impossible to obtain energy from the imaginary space?”
“Um……”
Xi Lin, who was resisting the desire to vomit, nodded dumbly, and said weakly: “There seems to be no space for imaginary numbers in this world bubble, and, for some reason, I can no longer obtain a ‘link’ with the tree of imaginary numbers. My power Restricted, as if blocked by something.”
Since she came here, the lively, cheerful and flamboyant Xilin Er has become very low-key, because her power may be weakened the most.
Fortunately, due to Bianca’s reasons, Xilin had professionally trained her fighting ability in advance in the year before she came here, otherwise she might become the “tail of the crane” and become a burden to everyone.
But this is the case, her strength is also strong on the outside, and maybe soon, when she no longer has the Houkai energy in her body and can’t use the ability of the Herrscher, everyone will find out.
Xilin is the one who wants to find the imaginary space the most, but it seems that there is really no imaginary space in this world bubble, and she can no longer get in touch with the world.
“It’s impossible to have no imaginary space. If not, how does this world bubble exist?” Bianca scratched her head.
“Nothing is impossible, Miss Bianca. In this world, anything is possible.” Rita’s smile is still so meaningful and calm~www.mtlnovel.com~ Then you say, why didn’t Mrs Aponia receive influences? Where did she get and replenish her power? Why doesn’t she want to say anything? ”
“Adults don’t say anything, they have their own intention of not saying anything.”
“whispering sound!”
Bianca pouted, this Rita can really pretend, like she knows everything, see if she will be as calm as she is now after she has no strength.
At this time, Apollon opened the door and walked in with a lamp powered by Honkai Energy in his hand.
“Go to bed after eating, children, it’s already very late.” Her voice was still so soft and gentle, but irresistible.
“How is Xi’er?” Kiana dropped the stick in her hand and ran over quickly, still so energetic.
“It’s alright, the fever has subsided, and I also protected their consciousness, so don’t worry.” Apoonia comforted her softly, “Go to bed, you will get up early tomorrow, and I will wake you up.”
Being deprived of Houkai energy slowly and continuously is a very uncomfortable thing for the body, and most people can’t bear it at all.
Just like fish accustomed to seawater cannot adapt to fresh water.
Seeer was “sick” because of this.
This experience is multi-angle and multi-faceted. It will not only make them lose the strength to survive, improve the fit of the body in the environment without the collapse energy, but also hone their will.
As for what else, they need to think, think, and explore by themselves.
In this experience, Wutong didn’t tell them their goals and objectives, and threw them over irresponsibly without saying anything. The girls didn’t know when the experience would end or when they could go home.
Apponia’s words surprised Karen for a moment.
“Protect their consciousness? Who else is sick except Xier?”
