Chapter 135 From Youth to Maturity, Calm and Composed

In the evening, Kallen and others walked into the city of St. Gemius and arrived at the residence prepared for them by the Discipline believers, finally ending their long journey.

Their residence is located in a towering Gothic building behind the Cathedral of St. Gemus. There are only a group of maids and Aponia and his team standing in the "lobby" on the first floor, ready to be dispatched.

The maid uniforms in this world bubble are also in plain black and white style, and the purpose is still to distinguish them from the bright and gorgeous costumes of noble ladies and ladies.

In a clean and tidy, yet somewhat dark room.

After taking a hot bath in the cedar wood tub, Xilin put on a set of loose and comfortable purple cartoon pajamas, wrapped her wet purple hair with a white dry towel with better water absorption, and then Walked out of the temporary "bathroom".

The facilities in the bedroom are very simple, but exquisite and elegant. It seems a bit empty and deserted. There are only a European-style princess bed, a bedside table, a wardrobe, a table and two chairs.

The wood used to make these furniture seems to be very precious. It looks heavy and full of weight. It is engraved with artistic patterns. The white marble floor is clean and there is no trace of dust visible to the naked eye. There was a golden rosin oil lamp, and a table of wine, food and water prepared by the maids in advance.

Bianca, who was also wearing loose pajamas, was sitting at the table, tasting delicious dishes alone.

Outside the Gothic stained glass window, believers seemed to be holding a grand celebration party. Even though the banquet was held far away from here, it still sounded very lively, and there seemed to be various performances. , cheers continued.

Aponya and others did not attend the banquet to welcome them. As "gods", they must maintain a certain distance from the believers. This is to protect the believers.

Of course, this is just an official statement. In fact, except for Xilin and Kiana, no one wants to attend. After being tired all the way, and finally taking a break, who has the intention to attend a banquet? Moreover, when attending a banquet, you have to put on a show and cannot let go. If you are too "relaxed", people may see "flaws".

Besides, they still have business to do tomorrow, so why not go to bed early.

"Oh my God, my dear Bianca, how could you eat secretly without waiting for your sister?!" Sirin covered her mouth, pretending to be shocked, and then quickly walked to the dining table.

Bianca paused with the knife and fork in her hand, frowned, and said, "Can you stop speaking in such a strange accent?"

"Oh~ okay, my dear sister." Siren moved the chair and silver tableware opposite Bianca and sat beside her.

"..."

Bianca moved her hips to the side uncomfortably, trying to get as far away from Siren as possible.

She took the bath before Xilin. At this time, Bianca's long hair was almost dry, but the floral scent of soap had not dissipated.

"Hmm~ It's comfortable. I haven't felt this comfortable for a long time." Xilin stretched, picked up the tableware, and prepared to enjoy the food.

"Your current enjoyment is based on the labor and sweat of countless people." Bianca's voice seemed a bit cold.

Her attitude towards Sirin is not very good, it's strange that she is good. Bianca originally planned to live in the same room with Mei, but it turned out to be good. Sirin, who wanted to enhance the sisterly relationship with her, carelessly carried her luggage with her. Personal belongings were "inserted" in.

Seeing this, Mei was too embarrassed to say anything and turned around to find Rita, which also made Bianca quite unhappy.

"Oh, just understand it in your heart. Don't say it out loud. It's too fun." Xilin opened a bottle of red wine and put it aside to let it wake up for a while. "Besides, the reason why we can enjoy this moment is because of our efforts. We have given valuable knowledge and promoted the progress of civilization. Knowledge is a priceless treasure."

"Pay? What have you paid? I seem to have only seen other people's contributions, and you are already thirty years old, right? Why haven't you graduated from university yet? Oh... that's right! It's because you don't 'pass' the knowledge."

"Bianca, your words today are so cold, and it makes me feel so cold, sister." Sirin looked at her with doubtful eyes and asked, "Did I make you unhappy?"

"No."

Bianca sighed and continued eating her dinner, no longer looking for trouble.

"Don't always sigh." Xilin used the unique tone of an elder educating a younger generation, and said earnestly, "I remember you were very lively before. You were still very lively before you came to this world! Why are you becoming more and more active? Are you deeper? Is it because of your knowledge and experience? Or is it because you have grown up? Or is it... pretending to be deep? Hey... you are not 20 years old yet. You are a little girl. Don't be like this. I still like you better before. Then How does this poem say, young man... what does it feel like to be sad... what... force you to talk about sadness? Don't 'force yourself to talk about sadness'."

"How did you get into university?" Bianca was slightly surprised, "Is the admission threshold of St. Freya University that low?"

This poem by layman Jiaxuan is quite famous in China because it is included in ninth-grade Chinese textbooks.

"Oh, don't always pay attention to those details. Sister, I used to memorize it, but suddenly I can't remember it." Xilin waved her hand.

"Rita said you are a thoughtful person, but after being with you for so long, I have never noticed it."

"You~ did that kid Rita really say that?"

Under the dim oil lamp, Xilin's golden eyes seemed to shine even more: "She is right, I am indeed a beautiful and careful girl. Look

The reason why you don't come out is because you are not as careful as Rita and only look at the surface. "

Siren thought for a while, then reached out and scooped out a spoonful of thick white fish soup into Bianca's bowl. Her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile: "Sister, I used to be more delicate. When I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, I I even passed the top five in the class and received a big red flower as a reward from the teacher. Tsk, what a pity... Unfortunately, after becoming a Herrscher, my personality seemed to have changed a little, and my academic performance was not good either. La. Of course, my essence will not change, I am still so careful."

"Thanks."

Bianca took the fish soup, said "thank you", and then asked doubtfully: "Is there any relationship between your poor academic performance and your becoming a lawyer? Also, it seems that there is nothing to do with your academic performance and whether your mind is delicate. Relationship?"

"Oh, don't always care about those details! You just care about too many details and your mind is used in other places, so you look dull."

"Am I stupid?"

"Look, you don't even know this, why don't you stay still? Learn more from me, sister."

"I don't want to learn." Bianca said decisively.

She hesitated for a moment, but still did not add the word "idiot" to the end.

"There is definitely a relationship between the academic performance and becoming a lawyer." Xilin said confidently, "Before I became a lawyer, I knew that only by studying hard can I stand out. After becoming a lawyer, I and I Mom's life is already guaranteed, so why study? Naturally, she has 'degenerated'."

"..."

Xilin thought for a while and added: "Of course, you still have to study hard, don't imitate me and my godmother. After all, you are not as special as me. I am the Herrscher of the Sky, the most special Herrscher." , the most 'expensive' Herrscher in the heart of the Herrscher!"

Siren always likes to emphasize this point.

"I am the next generation head of the Kaslana family, and I am richer than you." Bianca said while eating her meal calmly.

"...Then, then, you have to study hard! If you don't study hard, the Kaslana family will fall in your hands."

"My grades in cultural classes are better than yours."

"..."

Xilin thinks why is this sister like a hedgehog, piercing her heart? Not cute at all, unlike those cute little sisters in cartoons!

Night always gives people a feeling of tranquility. The sound of people in the distance outside the window makes the silence inside the house even more obvious.

Silence circulated on the dining table, but neither of them felt embarrassed while enjoying the food.

After a moment, Bianca asked: "Will becoming a Herrscher really affect a person's character?"

"Huh? Well..." Xilin muttered, "There will definitely be some impact. Even if the Herrscher consciousness will no longer be born, after becoming a Herrscher, your thoughts and ideas will change to some extent compared to before. . Just like a child who has just celebrated his eighteenth birthday, he feels like an adult..."

While talking, Xilin suddenly realized and said: "Oh~ So that's it! The reason why you pretend to be so serious is because you just celebrated your eighteenth birthday a few days ago?! Do you feel that you will be an adult in the future? ?Pretend to be more stable and 'cool'?"

"...No, I'm not pretending." Bianca's eyes wandered for a moment and she whispered, "I'm different from you, I won't pretend."

"No." Bianca patted her forehead and wondered, "Why does the topic always go off track every time I chat with you? What I want to ask is, when we go back, Mei becomes the Herrscher of Thunder. Will your temperament change drastically?"

"Then who knows? I don't think so. That child in Mei Yi is very gentle. Hey... I wish she was my sister."

Seeing that Bianca was still a little worried, Sirin comforted her: "Don't worry, even if she becomes the Herrscher, Mei is still Mei and will not be replaced by another person."

As she said that, she picked up the red wine that had been awake for a while, pretending to be a "cultured person" and said, "Would you like a drink on such a beautiful night? My dear adult sister, you haven't drunk it yet." Going to the bar?"

"No."

Bianca had secretly drank Siegfried's wine before. She found it unpleasant and didn't like the taste of the wine.

"Haha, you are still a child and don't know how to enjoy it." Xilin happily poured herself a glass and took a sip, then her face wrinkled, "Why does this bad wine taste like wine and taste so bad? "

"..."

Bianca thinks this cousin is just a joke, what else can the wine taste like? No matter how expensive the wine is, it still tastes like wine! Can you still drink the taste of sweet soy milk?

When she was full, she put down the tableware in her hands, touched her belly, then got up, walked to the window, and opened the window.

There are stars outside the window, the bright moon is in the sky, and people in the distance are singing and dancing. The cold air "flows" into the house along the window, which seems to make the room more deserted.

"We'll be going back soon, right?" Bianca said in a daze while looking at the moon.

"Well, what? Can't bear to leave here? When the 'Holy Book' is completed, we will probably go back." Xilin frowned and took another sip of red wine without giving up, but it still didn't taste good.

Apponia plans to leave three special books in the cathedral of St. Gemius. They are set in advance. Every five hundred years, a book will automatically open to help people "enlighten". These three books are based on this The power of people in the world cannot be destroyed, and people cannot open it in advance.

"That's not true, the moon at home is still brighter." Bianca said, "I'm just a little worried about Big Aponia."

It's just about people's safety. I don't know if she can survive the final 'experience'. "

"I think it can." Xilin's tone was very sure.

But when she said this, Bianca felt even more uneasy for some reason.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the person who really wanted to undergo the 'experience' would be Lord Aponnia. We were just passing by." Sirin put the cork of the red wine bottle back, "Before coming here, I thought that I would have to go through countless fierce fights. Woolen cloth!"

"That's what I thought when I came here," Bianca said. "I didn't expect that I wouldn't even use an ordinary revolver."

"Winter, winter, winter."

At this time, a polite knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two.

Bianca closed the window silently, picked up the two pistols placed on the bedside table, threw one to Sirin, then turned on the safety, put her hands behind her back, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door.

They have never experienced any fierce battles or dangers. Perhaps the biggest danger is the relaxation and discomfort caused by the passage of Honkai energy in the body and the "disappearance" of the stigmata. However, they have never relaxed their vigilance. Even now, there are people who take turns keeping watch at night, and before eating, they will check whether there are any poisons or drugs in the food.

There was a familiar figure standing in the corridor outside the door. It was a "girl" with a poetic and romantic temperament. There was a special jackdaw standing on the girl's shoulder.

"Oh, it's Miss Bianca... Your honor, Miss Bianca." Kafka took off his hat, put it on his chest, and performed a standard aristocratic salute from which country he didn't know.

After confirming that there was no one else around, Bianca and Siren relaxed their muscles and welcomed Kafka into the house.

"Good night, Lord Kafka, what can I do for you?" Bianca closed the door and put the safety on the pistol.

"Well...a little accident happened. I need a little help. Can you two trouble me?" Kafka said politely.

She turned a blind eye to the guns in the hands of the two girls. It was a good thing to be wary.

"Please speak." Xilin likes to help people the most.

"Just now when I was thinking about writing, I was unconsciously playing with a pistol with my left hand...well...it's different from the model you have." Kafka said slowly, "Then a little accident happened and the gun went off. , I accidentally shot myself in the body, can you two please go find Mr. Apponia? I need treatment."

"Um...why didn't I hear the gunshot?" Xilin was confused.

Kafka lived next door to the two.

"My gun has a silencer. As you know, I personally don't like too noisy sounds."

Kafka took out a black pistol the size of a palm and handed it to Bianca who was standing aside.

"Why don't I smell blood?" Sirin scratched her head.

"I did some simple bandaging, but the bullet was still in the stomach. The light was too dark, so it was difficult to find and take it out." Kafka opened a corner of his white shirt, revealing his belly wrapped in gauze.

There is also a delicate bow tied on the gauze.

Siren nodded clearly. She did not ask Master Kafka why he came over by herself, because she was probably the only one in Kafka's room, and her "roommate" was Jackdaw.

"Did you come here after you were fully dressed?" Bianca asked.

"Well, I also washed my hands and face. It doesn't seem good to be seen looking embarrassed." Kafka said with a calm face and a smile.

"Why are you so calm?" Bianca was particularly confused by this. She felt that the other person was more calm than herself, not like a wounded person.

"There's no point in being anxious, is there?"

"...If you don't rush, you will die easily."

Kafka walked to the dining table, picked up the bottle opener of red wine, and seemed to be planning to drink some: "No, I think I just broke a kidney, I won't die immediately, um... But I'm not either Pretty sure, it was in a hurry after all.”

"!"

Siren's eyes widened and she hurried out to find Apponia.

She didn't know how much Kafka was hurting, but she had the illusion that her kidneys were feeling a little uncomfortable.
