Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

"Then next time, I have other work to do today."

Jackal must be having a really tough time with fate.

Although Raven wanted to earn some money for renovations, he had to give up due to time constraints.

"Please wait a moment."

Mei called out to Ziyao.

"Thank you for your kindness today, please accept this."

This is a light pink amulet, with cherry blossoms embroidered on it using three-color threads, and the words "御守" (amulet) written in ink below.

This is a talisman from Mei's hometown, symbolizing protection and blessings.

"I'll accept the return gift later."

"My name is Nightingale. Don't call me by the wrong name next time we meet. Miss Raiden Mei."

Like a raven or a jackal, Ziyao also has her own code name.

Book 1: Chapter Seventeen London

take off.

The buildings on the ground first turned into a bottle of mineral water, then a fingernail, and then gradually into gravel.

Leaving the overcast city of Changkong, the plane arrived over the permafrost.

Siberia, the birthplace of the Second Herrscher.

The enormous crater, visible to the naked eye, resembles an ugly scar, deeply embedded in this barren and impoverished land.

Mei, who rarely uses her phone, unusually kept it with her after boarding the plane.

The search bar was filled with words related to Ziyao.

#Who exactly is the white-haired girl who defeated the Herrscher?#

Is the mysterious video real?

#Debunking Rumors: Don't Believe the News! #

A video titled "Exposure, a world-shaking battle, the flames burn the heavens!" went viral online and was even turned into memes by netizens.

There are countless related discussions, with posts and topics flying everywhere.

Unfortunately, despite searching for a long time, Mei still couldn't find any valuable information.

The girl who fell asleep in her arms, the hero whose flames ignited in the video...

In the story of Zhuangzi's dream of the butterfly, reality and dream intertwine, blending together seamlessly and inextricably.

Is this reality, or am I still dreaming?

...

"Yay, we've arrived in London!"

As she watched the plane approach Big Ben in central London, Kiana pressed herself against the window and exclaimed excitedly.

She had only come here once before, when she was living on the streets and had little money.

Today is a day off paid for with public funds, so of course I should indulge myself a bit.

"Mei, where should we go to play later?"

"Hey, Mei, look..."

Kiana turned her head and saw Mei leaning against the window with a forlorn expression, and immediately fell silent.

"..."

The two girls each had their own worries, and they couldn't resolve their issues even after the plane landed.

Twenty minutes later.

Another plane landed.

London was basking in the summer heat today, and as soon as the cabin door was opened, a wave of sweltering air rushed in.

"Raven, proceed according to the Jackal's plan. I will assist you from the side."

Upon landing, the two separated again and proceeded according to plan.

According to the plot, in order to investigate clues about the second Divine Key in London.

Bishop Otto dispatched Rita Rossweisse, an S-class Valkyrie, along with Durandal, who was on vacation in London.

Both are the strongest knights in the Destiny.

Jackal deliberately set up false clues in the museum to lure Rita into a trap and distract Destiny.

Unfortunately, she overlooked one crucial detail: Bishop Otto would personally come with his Soul Steel body, feigning weakness to outmaneuver her opponent and ultimately seize the Second Divine Key.

"drop----"

"Jackal, how's the situation?"

"Hehehe, very good, those fools from Destiny have already fallen into my trap."

"Well done, let's proceed according to your plan."

Ziyao praised, saying that although there was a slight accident along the way, everything was still under her control.

She didn't tell Otto the jackal that he would get away with it.

After all, you have to deceive yourself first if you want to deceive others; it would be a loss if Otto found out.

Ziyao decided to turn the tables and make fun of Bishop Otto.

After all, in the visual novel, this guy had messed with Ziyao more than once, which disgusted her terribly.

The British Museum.

Curator Catherine stood in front of a broken stone tablet, explaining the history of King Arthur to the maid in Western dress beside her.

Legend has it that after Arthur drew the chosen sword, he became the king recognized by the gods.

The king was invincible and left behind countless legends.

Unfortunately, his ending was unlike his dazzling and glorious life; it was like Waterloo, full of regret.

"Oh dear, Miss Rita, my assistant is here. Please wait a moment."

Catherine is Jackal's woman, and Ziyao, as her assistant, was naturally informed in advance.

"Hello, Miss Roseweather, I am Director Catherine's assistant. Nice to meet you."

"Just call me Rita, please guide me."

Rita shook hands with Ziyao gracefully, her voice soft and gentle, like the murmuring of a country spring, exceptionally soothing.

"I am very sorry, the battle yesterday was too intense and damaged your museum's important collection."

The area around the stone tablet was a complete mess; it was no exaggeration to describe it as a terrible sight.

"It's okay, accidents are inevitable, I understand."

It's not like I'm the one paying for it~

"Hey, what's that glowing thing?"

Ziyao approached the broken stone tablet and discovered a piece of what appeared to be metal.

This is probably the legendary Soul Steel, a legacy left by a previous civilization.

If she had discovered this, Rita would probably have reported it to Fate long ago.

Actually, this was a trap set by the jackal, deliberately designed to lure Rita into following false clues.

Judging by the time, Otto should be arriving soon, right?

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Not long after, Rita's communicator was dialed.

"Has the help arrived? Okay, I'll be right there, thank you."

Destiny had searched for the second Divine Key in London several times, but without exception, all his efforts were in vain.

The bishop concluded that the Key to God was likely hidden deep underground, so he sent a Valkyrie skilled in exploration and excavation.

"I see. So, as long as we find clues about the location of the Divine Key in the museum, we can go and excavate to verify it, right?"

"Yes, you are very smart."

"Ms. Rita, you flatter me. I am merely the curator's assistant."

"By the way, I have a car, let me give you a ride."

We arrived at the airport.

The helper Rita mentioned was a blonde girl with a lively personality named Susana.

"Miss Rita, I have admired you for a long time!"

"And Lady Durandal, I... I'm going to faint! Do you remember me? I'm Susana from the Scale Sand Squad! You helped us before!"

"Hey, who is this?"

Susana finally noticed Ziyao, who had a low profile.

"A mere assistant, not worth mentioning."

"Instead of chatting, let's go back to the museum first. The curator has already found a clue."

"Sorry to trouble you."

Rita always greets everyone with a gentle smile, making people unconsciously lower their guard.

Even Ziyao herself almost succumbed to Rita's delicate voice.

This woman... is terrifying.
