Chapter 127 The Place of Discomfort, the Road of Trial

late at night,

In a castle similar to that of a medieval European noble.

More than 20 girls, including Kallen, Rita, Anna, Kafka, Kiana, Bianca, Raiden Mei, and Bronya, sat around an old oil lamp filled with rosin, dim candlelight Next, they frowned and silently ate the military rations and compressed food they brought with them before coming.

The girls are all wearing the latest multi-functional individual combat uniforms produced by Tianting. The style is simple and capable, but not ugly, and the functions are very powerful.

This place is said to be a noble's castle, but to people in this world, in their eyes, this place is just a slightly larger "broken pigsty".

Although it is the best "pig pen" in the surrounding areas.

A castle refers to a "city fortress". It was not only the residence of European nobles in the Middle Ages, but its more important role was for military use. It was a paramilitary residence built for the purpose of war.

The main body of the castle is made of stone, and the walls are very thick, which can ensure no leakage and is not afraid of being attacked by fire. Two sentry towers and arrow towers, also made of stone, are built on the outside, as well as a circle of wood. A tall wall supporting the standing people.

The size is not large and it is a relatively small and simple castle.

From the outside, it doesn't look very good. Once inside, it turns out it's not much better. It's better to say it's worse.

Not only was the house undecorated, but the sanitary conditions were quite poor. It was dirty, messy, and poor. It also had a disgusting smell. The ingredients of this smell were very complex, mixed with the smell of spices, the smell of livestock, and the smell of damp musty. The smell of burning wood, the smell of excrement...

It can be said that modern pig houses are cleaner and sanitary than this castle.

The original owner of the castle lived with the livestock he owned, and this was probably not a quirk of his. According to Karen's guess, the nobles in this world probably lived this way, with humans 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 in Europe lived. They lived like this, even the king. Of course, the king's life would definitely be much better. In the end, At least his palace was big enough, there were enough servants, the food was relatively delicious, and he had more mistresses and illegitimate children.

The bad environment and smell brought back memories that Karen 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 is simply too bad. No wonder Master Wutong once said when she came here that this place was also a difficult experience for her.

Living in this kind of environment is really not as good as setting up a tent in the wild.

In fact, last night, they spent the night outside in a tent, and tonight was their second day in this world.

They "arrived" in a remote small village. Due to the language barrier, they didn't know the name of the place.

During the day today, a local noble may have learned that a group of beautiful and delicate girls had arrived in his territory, so he led the knights and followers to capture them all.

This situation is normal. In the view of the noble, everything on his territory should be his by rights, unless the background of this group of girls is stronger.

But for a group of people who can't even speak "human language" and can't communicate, the noble lords really can't imagine what backstage they can have, even if they look well-dressed and more beautiful than the princess.

Even if there is a backing, there is a high probability that he is an enemy of the empire. Because of the language barrier, he may be a noble child of another country.

In fact, the lord was so bold and smitten that he had never seen or heard of such a beautiful girl.

Moreover, he has the final say on his territory. He will capture it and enjoy it first. Even if someone comes to ask in the future, he can say that he has never seen it. At worst, he will kill and bury all the girls afterwards, and there will be no evidence to prove it.

Although it was a pity, in his opinion, his life was more valuable.

The result is obvious. Kallen and others did come to the noble's home, but the noble lost his home.

Even Xi'er's force alone could completely defeat the group of aristocratic followers who used simple firearms that were prone to misfire and self-explosion, let alone the person who took action was Aponya.

It was Apponia's gentleness and kindness that saved them a life. It was Apponia's kindness and teachings that made them kneel on the ground and repent for their crimes for a day.

Really good intentions, good intentions with good intentions.

But good intentions may not bring good results. If the lord has no regrets and wants revenge, his end will definitely be worse in the future.

Aponya didn't know his past and what he had done, and he didn't have time to explore it, so he gave him a chance to change his ways and it was up to him to see if he could figure it out.

What a person's future will be depends on his own choice.

Ignorance can be enlightened, stupidity cannot be cured.

Although under the guidance of Rita, the girls cleaned the castle thoroughly and drove the livestock outside, the smell in the room still did not dissipate, but was just a little lighter.

There is no way, this castle is too old, and it has been passed down for many generations.

They cleaned from day to midnight, and only now did they finally rest and have time to eat.

In fact, I couldn't even eat, I had no appetite at all.

But you have to eat food. "People are iron, rice is steel."

"Well!

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, smell this disgusting smell and 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 grinding of mice's teeth were particularly clear.

Kallen frowned, feeling even more irritated. Eating non-disgusting food with nausea already made her very upset.

Isn’t it supposed to be enjoyable when tasting delicious food? Why do you have to suffer like this? This is food blasphemy!

"Bianca, can you stop playing with rats?" Kallen said, "What a dirty thing, throw it out."

Except for Aponya and Kiana, Kallen is the oldest and most senior among this group of girls.

Although her personality is a bit "husky", she can still appear dignified and reliable in front of her juniors.

The girl with white hair and blue eyes, holding a wooden stick in her hand and teasing a big gray mouse, was stunned for a moment, turned around and said, "Uh... are you talking about me? I'm Kiana."

"..."

"Ancestor, I am Bianca, have you even forgotten what I look like?" Bianca on the side pointed at herself.

"...I'm sorry, the light was too dim and I couldn't see clearly." Kallen explained, "You two look quite similar, and you wear the same clothes."

"But I'm sitting next to you!" Bianca looked innocent.

Kallen's face was a bit lost: "Stop talking nonsense, you and I will stay on duty tonight, and you should eat quickly. After eating, go to bed early and rest early. We will clean it a few times tomorrow to ventilate it."

She was very confused in her heart, what happened to Master Wutong's daughter? Why do you look like you have never seen the world? Is it surprising to see a mouse? Can we also 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 plague known as the "Black Death" that swept across Europe in the Middle Ages.

Although the plague had its causes, rats were also one of the killers.

She decided to throw this annoying mouse out tonight while the little princess Kiana was asleep.

Thinking of this, Kallen came back to her senses and told everyone: "Although the sanitary environment here is particularly poor...well...maybe in this world bubble, there are places where humans gather, and the sanitary environment is very poor. You have to Be mentally prepared in advance.

“However, no matter how bad the environment is, we must pay attention to personal hygiene, and more importantly, physical health, and never get sick, because the medical technology and medical environment here may be even worse and more ignorant than you can imagine.

"You must have noticed that there is no Honkai energy in this world bubble, and the "world" is still slowly depriving our bodies of Honkai energy. This feeling is very uncomfortable and painful.

“I don’t know why this is the case, except for Lord Aponya, even I am also affected by this.

"Therefore, even if we don't engage in a high-intensity battle, the Honkai energy in our bodies may disappear in a few months. By then, we will be no different from ordinary people in this world and will become extremely weak. A disease or a simple firearm may threaten our lives.

“So, we have to be extremely cautious and cautious.

"Of course, we don't have to be too depressed and uneasy. With the protection of Mr. Aponnia, no one can pose a threat to our life safety.

"Moreover, you are all excellent warriors, carefully selected warriors. Even if you can no longer use Honkai energy, no longer have the stigmata, and become no longer special, our physical fitness and combat experience are better than those in this world. Human beings are too strong.

"Believe in yourself, our future is not gloomy. After going through this experience, we will definitely be reborn, including me.

"Come on, girls!"

Kallen finally clapped her hands and offered words of encouragement.

"Come on!" the girls cheered up and echoed.

Among them, Kiana and Bianca were the loudest, and they looked very energetic.

Seeing this, Kallen was very satisfied. The quality of this group of girls was indeed very good. At the very least, they would not have experienced setbacks and hardships. Facing the unknown future, they would not be hit by the difficulties and confusion in front of them. Devastated.

"correct."

Rita, who was standing in the corner, suddenly said: "We can eat all the food we brought first, don't keep it or be reluctant to eat it. Then we can get the next food from this world."

"Why?" Bianca tilted her head and raised doubts.

"Because most of the things we prepared in advance before coming here may not be used in the near future, including weapons and equipment and the God's Key to store items." Rita explained with a patient smile, " The world is not only robbing our bodies of Honkai energy, it is also robbing them of it.”

"..."

Bianca was silent for a moment, then turned to ask Sirin: "Is it really impossible to obtain energy from the imaginary number space?"

"Um……"

Xilin, who resisted the desire to vomit, nodded numbly and said feebly: "There seems to be no imaginary number space in this world bubble, and, for some reason, I can no longer get a 'link' with the imaginary number tree. My power It’s restricted, as if it’s blocked by something.”

Since arriving here, Siren, who was originally lively and cheerful, and loved to boast, has withered and become extremely low-key, because her power may have been weakened the most.

Fortunately, due to Bianca, Siren had received professional training on her fighting ability in the year before she came here, otherwise she might become a "crane" and become a burden to everyone.

But even so, her strength is also strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Perhaps soon, when she no longer has Honkai energy in her body and cannot use the Herrscher's ability, everyone will discover it.

Xilin is the one who wants to find the imaginary number space the most, but there seems to be no imaginary number space in this world bubble, and she can no longer get in touch with the outside world.

"It's impossible that there is no imaginary number space. If not, how could this world bubble exist?" Bianca scratched her head.

"Nothing is impossible, Miss Bianca, everything is possible in this world." Rita's smile was still so meaningful and calm.

"Then tell me, why was Lady Aponnia not affected? Where did she obtain and supplement her strength? Why is she unwilling to say anything?"

"The adults' silence has its own purpose."

"whispering sound!"

Bianca curled her lips. This Rita really knows how to pretend, pretending to know everything about her. Let's see if she will be as calm as she is now after she loses her power.

At this time, Aponya held a lamp powered by Honkai energy in his hand, opened the door and walked in.

"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 wooden stick in her hand and ran over quickly, still very energetic.

"It's okay. The high fever has subsided. I have also protected their consciousness. Don't worry." Aponya comforted them softly, "Go to bed quickly. We have to get up early tomorrow. I will wake you up."

Being slowly and continuously deprived of Honkai energy is a particularly uncomfortable thing for the body, and most people simply cannot bear it.

Just like fish that are accustomed to sea water, they cannot adapt to fresh water.

Xi'er became "sick" because of this.

This experience is multi-angle and multi-faceted. It will not only make them lose the power they rely on to survive and improve their body's adaptability in an environment without Honkai Energy, but it will also hone their will.

As for what else, they need to think, ponder and explore by themselves.

Wutong didn't tell them the purpose or goal of this experience. He threw them over irresponsibly without saying anything. The girls didn't know when the experience would end and when they could go home.

Kallen was taken aback by Aponya's words.

"Protecting their consciousness? Who else is sick besides Xier?"
