I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

Page 1093

"You helped me to be crowned, and your achievements are outstanding. Now, you may ask for anything, whether it be treasures, land, or anything else... I will bestow it upon you."

Are you sure you want me to take whatever I want?

Qiong immediately leaned back tactically and squinted.

"Your Majesty Caesar, a monarch's word is as good as his bond."

"cough."

Kerudela's heart skipped a beat when she saw that look. Her deliberately maintained imperial demeanor instantly softened, and her tone involuntarily became weaker.

"Naturally, it is within the limits that the empire can currently bear."

She knows her teacher too well!

He's really daring to ask for that!

Even if the teacher wanted her, Keldera would give it to him.

But the national treasury, which had just been emptied by Rival, needed money for military buildup and people's livelihoods, and could not withstand the teacher's outrageous demands.

"Then let's do it next time. I'll save up all my merits and exchange them for something bigger later. His Majesty Caesar shouldn't renege on his promise, right?"

Qiong smiled.

"..."

As Krydella looked at that smile, a strong sense of foreboding arose within her, but the dignity of the newly crowned queen forced her to grit her teeth and maintain her composure.

"……Can."

"Caesar, the throne is secure, and power is in your grasp."

That amount of wine, enough to down two cups in a single valiant soldier, was drunk like tap water by Heather.

"Next, where will you lead the empire's school of fish?"

Without a doubt, the person who understands Caesar best in the world is the king, and the second is Hathaway.

She felt that Caesar would not stop there.

"I will make all the snow in the North my banner."

Taking the throne back from Rival is, in her teacher's words, just a placement match, and Crydira won't stop there.

"You want to unify the fish populations of the North?"

Hazel was not surprised by Krystyra's answer.

"Huh? Are you still going to keep playing?"

March 7th slightly widened her eyes.

"We just finished a battle, shouldn't we rest and recuperate?"

After thinking about it, explaining to March 7th and relaying the question was obviously easier, so Qiong immediately became a repeating machine.

When Kyū first visited the Golden Garden, he introduced the existence of March 7th, and Krydela explained to the empty air.

"Our army has won two epic victories in a row. The soldiers are still full of fighting spirit and their morale is high. Such morale can make the army unleash a powerful force of more than 30,000 men."

"Secondly, the five northern kingdoms are all in the midst of war, making this the perfect opportunity to strike Dingwall in the back with lightning speed."

During the month of strife, all the states of Onphalus are at war.

Huppel is bordered to the north by Dingwall and Libreville, two countries currently locked in fierce combat.

Once the scouts detected that Hubbard was heading south, both cities lowered their guard against him.

His southward journey failed, and Hyperion was half-buried.

Even if the southward journey is successful, it will take some time to consolidate the gains.

They lacked the military strength and resources to intervene in the wars in Dingwall and Libreville.

That is indeed the case.

However, both battles in Krydela were major victories, and the casualties of their own forces were far less than expected due to the devastating impact of the AK47s.

In this way, a surprising move can be made.

Why not rest?

"If the prey is already lame, should you put away your bow, or shoot it through the heart?"

In the world, only two people know Krystal's true origins: Sora and Hazel. Both of them would never betray her.

Moreover, nowadays, even if someone spreads the truth, it will be considered a rumor.

Having spent some time as a beggar, Kerudela knew the thoughts of the people at the bottom of society.

"I will end this chaotic game in the North and rule the entire land with my laws!"

The aura emanating from the young woman instantly drew the attention of everyone at the banquet.

Even on March 7th, one could see the burning flame of conquest in the girl's bright blue eyes.

Then, Kerudela suddenly smiled brightly, a smile as radiant as the rising sun, yet with a hint of cunning, instantly drawing everyone's attention to Qiong, who was watching the show from the sidelines.

"teacher."

She spoke with a smile and a clear, melodious voice.

"As my queen, you will certainly continue to offer your full support, won't you?"

"The Empress?"

Having caught the key words, Miss Changyeyue instantly appeared behind Qiong.

"Darling~, weren't you the royal tutor? When did you become queen? Hmm?"

Chang Yeyue lifted Qiong's chin with her slender fingers, her dark red eyes gleaming with a sickly, alluring light as she gazed at him.

"It's just a nickname for a chess piece."

Using a nonchalant tone to show that evil is not afraid of evil shadows, Qiong quickly changed the subject.

"Unfortunately, your empress needs to temporarily step down for maintenance."

The sky embraces the long night moon on the left and the seventh day of the third month on the right.

This is to appease Miss Changyeyue's jealousy, since no one can see them and no one will be jealous.

"I will be in a deep sleep for a while."

"Nui! (Partner?)"

The purple Rubik's Cube bounced up.

"Sleeping?"

"A-Qiong, what's wrong?"

"Sir, are you injured?"

As soon as Qiong finished speaking, the red-haired beauties and Xiaodie immediately gathered around, their worry evident.

“As you all know, March 7 and I come from outside Onphalus.”

This was no secret to the people in the Golden Courtyard.

Given the current lack of clarity regarding the world's true nature, Qiong has not yet revealed to everyone that Onpharos is from the Data World.

However, he had briefly mentioned the concept of the difference in the rate of time flow.

“We entered Onphalus in a special way, so…”

Qiong told everyone that she needed to sleep to relieve the mental stress caused by the time difference.

Although he can still operate easily for another nine years, that's the limit.

You can't wait until your phone battery is down to one percent before charging it, can you?

On this side of the Milky Way, cell phone batteries are practically unlimited, but before crossing over, Qiong suffered from cell phone battery syndrome.

I feel uneasy when my phone battery is below 90% when I go out.

He calculated that it would take Xingbao and the others at least several hundred years to enter the interior, and that didn't even take into account the time needed to break through the firewall.

Qiong needs to save more time for later, or for crucial moments.

"I see……"

After Qiong finished explaining the whole story, Xia Die and the Saintess ladies all breathed a sigh of relief.

Ah Qiong/Your Excellency, it's good that you're alright.

It's simply a matter of sleeping to rejuvenate the spirit.

"However, although I will be logging off for the time being, our chief alchemist, Miss Tirispius, is always ready to serve."

As if a magician were inviting a guest, Qiong pushed Titi in front of Krydella.

"Little Dela, didn't you just ask me what I wanted? I suddenly remembered, so I'll use a little bit of merit to exchange for it."

"Change what?"

"Your turn..."

This pause caused everyone's expression to change, becoming tense, wary, and expectant.

Keludela blinked.

If you put it that way, I might actually give it to you!

"Join the Moths of Fire."

The light in the blue-haired girl's eyes visibly dimmed.

He looked utterly bored.

"can."

She was already a half-member of the Firemoth, but she had never been formally invited or acknowledged.

"In the name of Caesar, I will embark on a journey to seek fire!"

The girl solemnly made a promise to her teacher.

"That's perfect, isn't it? From now on, you can fully support Little Caesar and start the war against Fire with maximum efficiency."

Qiong clapped her hands, as if she had completed a jigsaw puzzle.

The Tirispius and the Velves, as the kingdom's alchemists, provided weapons, while Cerudela commanded the army to fight against the gods.

Titan?

How many divisions did the Titan have?

The Tirispians exchanged glances. "We will fully support Little Dra!"

They suddenly realized that Qiong's decision to take Krystalla as her student/daughter seemed to be more than just a game.

Or rather, while playing, Qiong laid the foundation for the Fire Chasing Journey.

With just her, Teacher Velvi, and Caesar working together, the journey to the fire can unfold at a terrifying speed.

As expected of A-Qiong!

The joyous feast in the Golden Courtyard was tinged with a faint sadness of parting after Qiong announced her decision to go into slumber.

Qiong didn't let this emotion spread. He clapped his hands, instantly attracting the attention of all the girls.

"There is one more thing to do before I fall asleep."

"teacher?"

Krystal's heart tightened, and a barely perceptible trace of longing and emptiness flashed deep in her icy blue eyes.

The thought that she might not hear that voice, which always carried a touch of cynicism, for a long time filled her with a feeling of reluctance.

I had an urge to rush into my teacher's arms and hug him tightly.
