I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

Page 1175

Suspended Peak is a city of chaos and war, a city-state under the rule of Nicardoli, the Titan of Strife and Divine Retribution.

They revere force and consider death in war an honor; warriors hold a high status, while other professions are despised.

The royal family has a dark tradition of patricide, and almost every king is a talented individual who shows filial piety to his father and uses Frostmourne as a Noble Phantasm.

To escape the prophecy that his son would kill his father, King Euriporn simply threw his son into the River Styx.

However, Medemus, being a member of the Golden Clan and possessing an immortal body, survived.

He fought his way out of the River Styx and joined the Empire.

As for Suspended Peak City, Krydela refrained from launching an attack on them, considering that Nicardoli had been fighting the Black Tide on the front lines.

Although the Suspended Peak people admired force and looked down on Imperial soldiers who used firearms, they were not stupid and did not take the initiative to declare war on the Empire.

Dying on the battlefield is an honor, but feeding the enemy is stupid!

After a magic show by the great magician Velvet and a sermon by the Titis, Suspended Man was teleported to the Black Tide front line by the Titis using the Anywhere Door and the Hundred Worlds Door.

The warriors of Suspended Peak embraced their glory as they had hoped, dying on the battlefield to protect the world.

After those warriors received what they sought, the remaining Suspended Warriors voluntarily joined the Empire to protect its people.

Now that Xuanfeng is a province of the empire, although the people are still a bit fierce, at least... they are beginning to change those old ideas.

PS:

Volume 1: Chapter 910 The time for the performance has come again.

"At that moment, Xia and Wan Di?"

Compared to long, difficult names, Qiong chooses to remember names with fewer words.

"How are these two seeded players developing?"

"Xia is an alchemist whom Dr. Möbius praised as excellent... well, although Dr. Möbius taught her alchemy related to the soul, her research topics are somewhat..."

Tibo's little face scrunched up, as if searching for a less frightening adjective.

"understood."

Qiong nodded in understanding.

He remembered that the Devouring Serpent had heard Mebius mention that moment twice.

Scholars who can accept Möbius's ideas.

Every single one of them is a potential danger to ordinary citizens.

"However, Xia has indeed made groundbreaking progress in the field of soul alchemy. Aqiong can find his paper abstract on her phone. He has been nominated for the Ceris Award and is the most competitive person for this year's Ceris Award."

Tibo tilted her head in thought.

"Dr. Mebius shouldn't have forgotten, right? Let's go again later and let him prepare for the trial. Sigh, he's such a worrywart."

What is the connection between these two things?

March 7th blinked, unable to grasp the logic between Tibao's words.

However, after asking the question, my gaze was drawn to the small cakes in the shop window on the street.

Yes.

Tibo smiled slightly.

"Winning the Serhith Prize is a prerequisite for accessing the spark of reason."

Noticing March 7's sparkling eyes and the way she swallowed, Qiong gave Mimi a wink.

"Mimi~ (I know.)"

Mimi took its phone out of Qiong's pocket, flew towards the shop, and flew back with a box of cake a few dozen meters after the Earth Beast had walked away.

"Wow, it's a cake! Thank you, Mimi!"

March 7th hugged the little guy and rubbed against him, then gave Qiong a light kiss before happily eating.

Qiong picked up a piece of cake decorated with blueberries and fed it to Tibo.

"When did this condition become available?"

"The changes have been going on for a long time now~"

With her white and blue eyes full of smiles, Tibo's cherry lips parted slightly. The cake had a delicate texture, and its sweetness made the smile on her little face even brighter.

“If we remember correctly, it started around the time of the major reforms at the Divine Tree Garden in the year 4096 of the Light Calendar.”

The initial willingness of the Divine Tree Court to allow Caesar to take over was partly due to enticement and partly due to intimidation.

The scholars of that period had little loyalty to the empire.

Scholars remain detached and neutral in the face of national disputes.

Krydella was not annoyed. She used a slow and steady approach to transform Tree Court into the empire's highest institution of learning and the core of its think tank.

Many of the new generation of scholars who later entered the Tree Court benefited directly or indirectly from the imperial policies.

For example, tuition fees are waived for impoverished but exceptionally talented students, and generous scholarships are provided.

Unless they are inherently ungrateful, these students will naturally feel grateful to the Empire.

At that moment, Xia's skill in soul alchemy was second only to Mebius. She did not believe in the Titans or the Oracles, but she had a very high degree of identification with the Empire.

why?

Because the Empire saved his only relative—his sister—during the Black Tide's rampage.

Na Kexia was born in a remote small town. His parents died early, and his older sister made a living by raising animals. She saved money to buy him books and tools, and even borrowed money to entrust a merchant to send him to Shuting to study.

When he learned of the Black Tide's attack halfway through his journey and rushed back, he witnessed firsthand the harrowing scene of Titi rescuing her sister from the monster's clutches.

This was one of the reasons why Miss Xia and Miss Titi respected them so much at that moment.

Titi is the Holy Maiden of the Empire. Under such circumstances, how could Na Ke Xia not recognize the Empire?

Incidentally, Titi later became good friends with Na Ke Xia's older sister.

Teachers became one of the few who could suppress and control this genius problem student.

That summer's situation can be seen as a microcosm of some of the new generation of scholars in the Shuting school.

After nearly a century of subtle influence, the Tree Garden has fundamentally transformed into the Tree Garden of the Empire.

As times progress, ideas also evolve.

I no longer believe in God.

To be precise, they are no longer as ignorant and superstitious as the people of the Middle Ages.

They believed in the power of the Titans because they truly existed.

As long as something exists, it can be observed, learned, and even mastered.

They still respect the Titan of Reason, Thersis, no longer for His divine status, but for His wisdom and knowledge, and His generous sharing of that knowledge and wisdom with others.

In 4096, Caesar decreed that the Tree Court establish the Serhith Prize, the highest academic honor, to encourage scholars.

The Earth is more than any Nobel Prize on Earth.

It is the crown that countless scholars dream of.

In fact, once the Tree Court is fully integrated into the Imperial system, the spark of [Rationality] can be said to be the Empire's possession.

Krydella could simply take it and use it for the trials of the Seed of Fire, but the Scholars of the Tree Court are now all on our side, the pillars of the empire.

Considering the scholars' respect for Cersis, Crydella did not do that, but instead set the requirement for undergoing the Trial of the Fire as receiving the Cersis Award.

"As expected of Little Dela."

Qiong crossed her arms over her chest.

It must be said, this was a brilliant move.

It is both legitimate and demonstrates the majesty of Empress Caesar, and it can also inspire scholars to strive for excellence and serve as a selection process.

After all, the most basic requirement is that those who can pass the trial of the flame of reason reach the level of a sage in terms of knowledge.

This is also why the seed of rationality needs a longer time to grow.

It can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

As for the disputes, there's not much to say.

The Titanic is still alive.

“We have had several negotiations with Lord Nicardoli.”

The Titis are among the pilots of Dezezeon. Almost every day, one Titi stays at the front line and often encounters Nicardori and the fusion god Seneos, who are fighting against the Black Tide.

They're still fighting the Black Tide to protect the world, we can't just stab them in the back and kill them for the sake of the spark, can we?

Even someone as cunning, ruthless, and vicious as Kelidestra found it difficult to strike.

However, Nicardoli truly lives up to his Titan reputation.

Although he had no memories of his previous life, he possessed the honor of a warrior and a pure desire for battle.

To describe Nicardoli in one sentence.

The battle was awesome!

Like the fusion goddess Seneos, He was corrupted by the Black Tide and showed signs of going mad.

Therefore, He took the initiative to make an agreement with the Empire.

He will fight to the very last moment, until he goes completely mad.

At that time, the Empire will liberate Him from madness and take away the flames of strife.

In this way, He could fight to the very last moment while fully conscious.

Kerudela had no reason to refuse such a request that was granted.

"This also reminded Little Caesar that we need to find the successor to the Skyfire in advance."

Help the goddess Seneos find peace when she descends into madness.

"Fortunately, someone has already been chosen."

"who is it?"

"She is a descendant of the Sky Clan, named Yacintes. However, she is still young, only 8 years old this year. It will probably take some time before she grows up enough to shoulder heavy responsibilities."

“We found her through prophecy.”

Tibo tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then broke into a beautiful smile.

"Does Ah Qiong want to train her personally? With your abilities, she will definitely be able to grow up in the shortest amount of time."

Tibo and the others are the teachers of all the Fire Seeds, and the gentlest, most responsible, and most approachable teachers—the kind of teachers all students would love.

However, she admitted that she was no match for Qiong in cultivating the Seed of Fire.

Just look at the examples of Caesar and Aya.

Caesar became a demigod in his teens, making him the Moth of the Fireflies to achieve this feat in the shortest time, bar none.

Aya was nurtured by both of them, so the fans could better appreciate that Aya's growth when facing Qiong was much faster than Qiong's.

Should I train them?

Qiong rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

"Huh? Is this appropriate? It's not appropriate..."

On March 7th, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a strong degree of skepticism, perhaps even nine-tenths.

"Ah Qi, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting the training abilities of the world-renowned and influential Empress Caesar's teacher?"

Qiong was unhappy about being questioned.

"I'm not doubting your ability to train students, I'm just doubting whether you'll teach them well."

On March 7th, hands on hips, eyes rolled back.

She felt that Tibo, who had reversed her aging to 12 years old, was still too naive, and that a Fire Seed of this age should be nurtured by Qiong.
