Chapter 542 Interlude: Lychee Herrscher

"In a flash, dozens of rail guns suddenly appeared in the sky in front of us, but Bronya, who had just mastered the power of the Herrscher of Reason, just waved her hand to construct the same number of artillery, so that the shells canceled each other out in the air. At this moment, the blind uncle suddenly shouted at Bronya to open the channel connecting the Quantum Sea and the Eigenworld, but Bronya didn't know where the channel was. The Herrscher core is the key, but if you can't even find the door, isn't it useless? Don't you think so, Guinevere!"

The plump girl with a bandage on her shoulder nodded excitedly with bright eyes. Although she felt that the "Seele" in front of her was completely different from the Valkyrie students described by Saint Freya, she still I continued to ask along with the other party's words:

"Yeah! Then, how did Sister Bronya open the exit of the Quantum Sea?"

"Of course it was thanks to Seele! Seele was trapped in the Quantum Sea for so long that she wasn't just sleeping. As long as Seele... I and Sister Bronya combined our strength, it would be easy to open the passage. Then the two of us took those two uncles who were just there for show and returned to the Eigenworld, leaving that bastard Mikael in the Quantum Sea! How about Seele, isn't she awesome!"

"Awesome... Awesome..."

Bronya sat aside and listened quietly, sipping her coffee gently, and leaving a small bite mark on the sandwich, looking completely listless as if she had just woken up.

"Idiot, even though Seele said she wanted to thank the other her for helping to open the passage, so she let the other her out to play for a day, this guy is too much... Will no one find out about it... No, people will just think Seele is mentally ill."

Bronya leaned over, her chin resting weakly on the stainless steel table. Although she had a lot to say, except for a few exaggerations, what Seele said was in line with the facts.

It's just a little unbelievable...

Obviously, what we have been taught in Saint Freya is to fight against Honkai... and kill the Herrscher...

Sister Mei has already become a Herrscher, and the idiot Kiana has also become a Herrscher, and now even Bronya herself... has become a Herrscher...

What's the point of calling it Valkyrie Academy... Just call it the Herrscher Class... If the current situation continues, Bronya will not be surprised even if Seele becomes a Herrscher next time.

But... I still feel that all this is unreal, just like a short dream...

The price Mei-sister paid to become a Herrscher was the entire Changkong City, and the price that stupid Kiana paid to become a Herrscher was heavy casualties at the Destiny Headquarters. If we count the second collapse before, then even...

In comparison, the process of her obtaining this power was too smooth. What is this power to Mikael? Is it a reward given casually after seeing a performance that complied with his heart, or...

What exactly did he mean by what he said at that time?

Although I have been telling myself not to care, Bronya still cares a lot... As the successor of this power.

There is no way, now I can only divert my attention.

"Come to think of it, Guinevere, what happened to your injury? Bronya heard that the battle the day before yesterday was not very dangerous, so you should be safe on the bridge."

"Ah, this..."

The chubby cheeks seemed to turn red, and a slightly awkward smile appeared at the same time:

"That... I was unlucky. When I was fighting with Cocolia's troops before, I was hit by a shell near the bridge. Although it was blocked by the shield, a piece of temporary armor beside me fell off in the vibration. The injury on my shoulder was caused by the rivets that fixed the armor... There were so many people on the bridge, and in the end I was the only one injured..."

"That's really miserable..."

Bronya sighed.

"That's really miserable..."

"Seele" on the side repeated it.

Guinevere smiled awkwardly, then said with envy:

"Speaking of which, since you have inherited the power of the Ruler of Reason, I will have to call you Lady Bronya from now on."

"Bronya thinks... it shouldn't be the case. However, it seems that not everyone welcomes Bronya to inherit this power."

Seele snorted coldly, turned her eyes, looked around, and forced back the eyes that were watching this side openly or secretly.

"Ah...ah...this can't be helped, after all, the power of the Ruler of Reason has a special meaning for Anti-Entropy...or maybe everyone is just worried about the Lord of the Alliance."

Bronya took a deep breath, raised her chin from the cold stainless steel table lazily, held the sandwich in both hands, and continued to eat it in small bites.

"It's not like Bronya wants this power. If she has a choice, Bronya would like to return the core to Walter, so that she won't be forced to stay in the Salt Lake City base on the grounds of 'practicing to master the power of the Herrscher of Reason', and can't go to Shenzhou to pick up the stupid Kiana." Bronya wanted to say these words, but she also knew that most members of Anti-Entropy were dissatisfied with her inheriting the power of the Herrscher of Reason. It's easy to give people the feeling that she got the advantage and still acted cute by saying this... "Seele" glanced at the silent Bronya with her peripheral vision, and suddenly snorted again, turned her head away, and complained in a low voice:

"Even if he is the leader, it's no big deal. After all, he is just a substitute for the previous leader. I heard that his synchronization rate with the Herrscher Core is not very high, maybe even worse than Bronya! Don't you think so, Guinevere?"

After exhaling lightly, "Seele" turned her eyes back to the front, but saw Guinevere grinning and looking desperate.

"What's wrong?"

"Ahem!"

Bronya lowered her head and put her hands on her knees obediently, and just coughed lightly as a reminder.

But it was obvious that such an ambiguous gesture could not let "Seele" understand what happened.

"Hey! Bronya! I think I said it right?"

"Ahem!"

This time, it was no longer Bronya who made the sound. The voice came from behind, and it was not unfamiliar.

"Bronya Zajcek, come with me. We can have breakfast on the way. We need you to master the power of the Ruler of Reason as soon as possible."

"Finished!"

…………

"That... Lord Alliance Leader, Xi'er is not like this usually. She may have been in the Quantum Sea for a long time, but..."

"Do I look like the kind of person who cares about every little thing? What's more, what she said is indeed the truth."

The man leading the way in front of him had a smile in his tone. It was not the kind of cold, aggressive and offensive smile, but just a gentle smile.

"By the way, I haven't thanked you since yesterday, Bronya. This time, I really thank you."

"No, Bronya didn't do anything. The core of the Herrscher of Reason was disguised as that thing and placed on Bronya, and it wasn't Bronya who did anything. After that, it was Su who awakened Mr. Walter's consciousness, and it was Mr. Walter's own power to reshape his body. In the final analysis, Bronya didn't do anything, and I really don't know how to accept this gratitude."

"But many things are like this. Although people always say that the result is not as important as the process, the target of gratitude and rewards is often not the process, but the result."

"Do you Herrschers of Reason need to be so difficult to understand?"

Bronya complained in a low voice, and Walter clenched his right hand behind his back and responded softly:

"Now you are also a Herrscher of Reason, you should say 'we'."

Bronya shook her head, followed Walter and turned to a training room.

"Well... before we start, can Bronya ask another question?"

"Of course."

Walter's expression did not change, but he pushed his glasses slightly unnecessary.

"Why should the core of the Herrscher of Reason be given to Bronya? Although the physical examination report has not come out yet, Bronya can feel that Bronya cannot fully control the power of this core. In the same situation, Bronya is still a beginner who knows nothing. In this case, it is obvious that this core should be given to Mr. Walter who has been using it for decades to exert its greatest power."

"When Walter Joyce chose to entrust the core to me, I also had this question."

"So?"

The man who inherited the name of Walter just smiled.

"There are always many reasons to do something. Although I have reshaped my body, I cannot bear the power of the core in a short time. Judging from the man's intention, he seems to want to entrust this power to you, although we don't know what he wants to do so far... It's not bad to treat it as a trick. Moreover, I personally think that Bronya Zaychek, you have some potential that is more suitable for this power than me, a potential that cannot be observed from cold data."

"Feel it..."

Bronya tilted her head. This vague statement was a bit uninspiring.

"Then... let's start training as soon as possible. In the current environment, you must master this power as soon as possible, and after the training, 'those guys' seem to want to find you to understand something."

"Those guys?"

"Well, the so-called pioneers."

A strange solemnity flashed across Walter's face, and Bronya was not surprised at all.

The next moment, a familiar Tokarev pistol was handed to her.

…………

When people get busy, time will pass at an unprecedented speed. Although lunch was hastily solved with emergency rations in the training room, when the not-so-heavy door opened, Bronya felt that it was only a moment away from morning.

Although she didn't "exercise" much, her whole body was soaked in sweat several times, her head was dizzy, and she felt tired as if she had taken seven exams in one day.

What made people feel even more desperate was that there was a woman waiting for her at the door that Bronya didn't want to face at all.

"Is today's training over? Do you mind walking with me again, Bronya?"

"In that case, this child will be handed over to you, Ms. Mei."

Walter followed him out of the training room, lowered his head and wiped his lenses with a silk cloth, and turned around with a steady pace, seeming to avoid eye contact with Mei from beginning to end.

Mei just leaned against the wall and nodded, and then glanced at Walter's gradually receding back with her peripheral vision.

Bronya was sandwiched between the two of them. She glanced at one and then the other, and was slow to answer.

Suddenly, Walter stopped, turned sideways, glanced back, then quickened his pace and disappeared around the corner of the base passage.

"Hehehe..."

Mei tilted her head and chuckled.

"why are you laughing."

Bronya kept her distance as always.

"I just feel that the successors to the power of the Herrscher of Reason seem to be some idealists. That little guy is probably angry with us 'pioneers' because of what happened in New Zealand."

"Huh?"

Bronya frowned, and it was not until five seconds later that she connected the "little guy" in Mei's mouth with the unshaven uncle who inherited the name of Walter.

"What about New Zealand?"

"Ah. If it were him, once he realized that New Zealand would collapse soon, he would definitely relocate all the ordinary people at all costs."

"Bronya remembers that before the Honkai outbreak, Su and Ying went to New Zealand and encouraged more than one million people to leave early. The transfer speed has been very fast. Only ignorant politicians would think that More than a million people can be transferred in just twenty-four hours."

"However, there is still a clear gap between more than one million people and five million people."

Bronya didn't nod or shake her head, she just turned around silently.

"Bronya needs to go back and take a shower."

"Okay, then... let's talk as we go."

Mei walked ahead with her hands in her pockets, but her steps were still slow, which made Bronya very unhappy.

"Can you walk faster?"

"I'm sorry. As I get older, I want to walk slower. It seems that as long as the pace slows down, time will also slow down."

Even so, Mei quickened her pace slightly. This made Bronya realize something in her heart. It seemed that what she was going to talk about today was no longer the same long speech. She instantly felt that her head no longer hurt.

However, there is still one thing that must be said and must be said:

"I always feel that you are more suitable to be the Herrscher of Reason than Bronya."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because your speech is difficult to understand."

"Pfft - if that's the case, it's not impossible, it's just...it can't be done."

Mei's tone was inevitably a little lonely. Perhaps, for her, it was indeed a pity that there was no possibility of possessing the power to change the world from the beginning. Even if this power comes with more dangerous possibilities.

"How's it going? How does it feel when you first try to master the power of the Herrscher of Reason?"

"Bronya thinks it's okay. Some familiar firearms, weapons and daggers are relatively easy to construct."

Although Bronya wanted to get to the point as soon as possible, when she thought about the identity of the woman in front of her, and that she might have some unique insights into the power of the Herrscher of Reason, she could only suppress her temper and answer.

"That's it...it seems that the little guy is training you according to his own training method. There is no problem in the beginning, but I still hope you pay attention to one thing: even for the exact same weapon, different People will also have different experience in using it. After all, Mikael is also the Lawyer, but he has different opinions on power. The way of using it is completely different from that of the two people in the modern era. Therefore, Walter's understanding and application of the power of reason are indeed valuable experience, but you should also pay attention to exploring the path that suits you while absorbing it. This method can indeed improve your strength in a very short period of time, but sooner or later you will suffer a loss."

"Bronya knows. Is there anything else?"

"Um……"

Mei snorted softly, as if she was assessing how much Bronya had listened to her words.

However, this girl's nerves have become quite dull, so it seems that it is not impossible to get to the point now.

"Bronya, I have read the report you submitted yesterday. Is the so-called heavy-armed bunny a creation of the power of reason, or does it have other principles?"

"At first, Bronya thought it was something constructed by the power of reason... But when she temporarily handed over the core in order to save Mr. Walter, the heavy-armed bunny did not disappear, and..."

Bronya didn't speak, but the sound of mechanical parts rubbing against each other could be heard in the air, and the girl's footsteps suddenly disappeared.

Mei turned her head and saw that the mechanical body of the heavily armored rabbit almost filled the entire passage, while Bronya was already floating without touching the ground.

The purpose of the display was achieved. The color on the heavily armored rabbit gradually faded, gradually turning into a vaguely discernible transparent outline, and finally disappeared completely, and Bronya also fell back to the ground.

"Is that so... Although the specific principle is not clear yet, it seems to be related to the Quantum Sea. However, I do have the impression that the gloves you and Kevin mentioned were indeed used by Mikael. arms."

Just when Mei was holding her chin in thought, Bronya suddenly passed her position and walked forward.

"That's it, Bronya has to go back and take a shower."

"No, wait, Bronya, wait a moment."

"Huh?"

Bronya stopped in response. This was the first time she heard such an urgent and pleading tone from Mei's mouth.

However, when she thought about it carefully, she really didn't hear a few words from Mei.

"As for the other thing mentioned in your report, the pink-haired girl you saw in Mikael's memory, are you sure she really talked to you?"

"Well, Bronya can be sure, 'You are not him,' she said. There should be another sentence after that, but Bronya can't remember it. What does it mean? Is there another consciousness in Mikael's mind, or in the core of the Herrscher of Reason?"

Unexpectedly, Mei did not answer, but kept tapping the back of her left hand with her right index finger.

"Well, I think...it may be because...Mikael himself split a "her" personality. He often says something with a strange tone, doesn't he?"

"That's right, but what Bronya saw should be the memories in the core. It can't be said that the core of the Herrscher of Reason in the current civilization is still connected to Mikael's brain...this is too...eh?"

What surprised Bronya even more than before was that Mei actually ignored her words, leaned forward, and quickly disappeared from her sight. (End of this chapter)
