Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

"assistant?"

--------------

Tianming West Asia Branch, Phosphorus Sand Squad.

"Captain!! Headquarters sent an email, it's a transfer notice!" Sofia excitedly shouted to Mattila on the sofa.

"Great! It must be headquarters' recognition of the Phosphate Sand Team. They're going to transfer us to a more important battlefield! Susana, come out quickly! Our chance to advance has come!" Matila shouted excitedly, calling Susana in the bathroom to come and hear the details of the transfer notice.

“Martila, the only person mentioned in the email who was transferred is Susana…”

"what?!"

Matila and Susana, who had just run out of the bathroom, were both shocked and dumbfounded...

--------------

"Brother, you're awesome! You smashed a guy's head in the street with one punch. I'm truly impressed."

"Yes! It's such a waste of your talent that you're still hanging around with us!"

Inside the prison, a bunch of people gathered around Jiu Xiao, showering him with praise. Ever since someone tried to harm Jiu Xiao because of his fair skin and tender flesh, but was instead beaten and thrown out by Jiu Xiao, his name spread like wildfire throughout the prison, making him an instant celebrity.

After all, no matter where you are, strength always reigns supreme.

The way we show respect is just a little different...

"Don't turn your back on me, I'm not into that kind of thing." Jiu Xiao kicked all the burly men in front of him away. He wasn't so desperate as to associate with these people from the prison.

Although Jiuxiao kicked the person away, Otto's communication had already been connected before that.

As soon as the communication interface connected, Otto saw a group of grown men posing and flirting in front of Jiuxiao, looking incredibly smug. Otto almost threw up his lunch.

"Tsk, Jiuxiao, you're not allowed in my office anymore. No, you're not even allowed in the headquarters of Destiny."

"Hey, Otto, don't frame me! I don't have that kind of hobby!"

With a snap of his fingers, Jiu Xiao altered the minds of everyone present, erasing all memories related to himself. He then hurriedly explained to Otto that he didn't want his illustrious reputation to be ruined like that.

Otto: "I understand you less and less, Jiuxiao. I feel like you're from a completely different art style than us. We're a shonen manga, and you're a comedy manga..."

Jiuxiao: "Isn't it good to be happy and cheerful? People always try to find joy in hardship. There's nothing wrong with being optimistic."

"I'm too lazy to waste time arguing with you, let's get down to business. There's been a glimmer of news about the Second Divine Key, but everything's going too smoothly, unbelievably smoothly..."

The Destiny organization searched every inch of Britain but couldn't find the second key to God, yet now someone is guiding us to search for King Arthur's holy sword.

This is very strange. Add to that framing you and getting you imprisoned, and the attack Rita suffered… someone doesn't want us to find the Second Divine Key, but this only further exposes that the Second Divine Key exists here.

“I understand. As long as we continue searching for the Second Divine Key, Rita and Durandal will continue to be attacked. So, my mission is to protect them?”

"Similar, but not protecting Rita or Durandal, but protecting another little one."

After hanging up with Otto, Jiu Xiao rolled his eyes in exasperation. Why was he secretly protecting that little girl, Su Shana, again? Sure, she was very, very rich, but did she really need him to protect her in secret?

"Forget it, let's leave here first. After all, important business is more important."

Jiu Xiao waved his hand, and the entire prison seemed to come alive. The walls, several meters wide, opened like outstretched arms, welcoming Jiu Xiao's entry.

Cortana had already hacked into the entire prison's surveillance system, and Jiu Xiao had controlled all the people in the prison by controlling pollen.

In their minds, they would automatically conjure up the image of the criminal who had smashed the vendor's head in the street, who had been violently killed by them, while the real criminal, Jiu Xiao, had already left and was living freely in prison.

No, that guy exploded on his own, Jiu Xiao is innocent!

As Jiuxiao moved forward, the flying pebbles in the air gathered together and finally coalesced into a solid stone throne.

Jiuxiao tossed his hair, sat on the solid stone throne, and then flew out of the prison.

Jiuxiao was willing to be imprisoned because he was moral and followed the rules. But he is leaving prison now because rules are meant to restrict the weak, while the strong are there to create rules.

“Go back. Now is not the time for you to come out. They've gone to so much trouble to keep you there. If you run out, you'll alert them.”

"Okay..."

Jiuxiao had no choice but to happily fly back to the prison and stay there, relying on Cortana to remotely monitor Rita and the others' situation.

Chapter 210 Search

Upon arriving in London, Susana's eyes were filled with a mixture of clarity and confusion as she disembarked from the plane.

Susana wandered around the airport entrance, making herself dizzy. Fortunately, Durandal and Rita were nearby to pick her up.

"Wow...Wow wow wow!!" Susana blushed deeply upon seeing Durandal and excitedly hugged her. "Lady Durandal? It's Lady Durandal!!"

"Do you remember me? I am Susana, a member of the Phosphate Sand Squad you helped during the Dubai Collapse! I witnessed your heroic actions from the aircraft!"

"I don't remember..." Durandal glanced at Susana a couple of times before answering seriously.

“That’s true…” Susana’s body stiffened, and she froze on the spot.

Rita walked over with a smile, breaking the awkward silence. "It seems this is the Valkyrie sent by His Excellency the Bishop."

"Miss Rita!" Susana turned around and excitedly took Rita's hand. Durandal and Rita were both her idols! She never expected to meet them today.

"I am Susana, sent by His Excellency the Bishop to assist you in exploring the Divine Key!"

Rita: "Nice to meet you."

--------------

Inside a hotel, Rita helped Susana arrange her luggage and accommodation.

“Miss Rita, I’ve brought Schicksal’s most advanced detection equipment to assist you with your investigation.” Susana opened her backpack, which contained various surveying and mining equipment.

"His Excellency the Bishop said that during the five hundred years that God ruled England, he had already searched the entire country thoroughly, but to no avail. Therefore, he speculated that the Key of God must be located deeper underground."

Therefore, His Holiness the Bishop has instructed us to reinvestigate the ruins of England, determined to find the whereabouts of the Second Key of God.

“My family, located in the Middle East, is in the business of gem prospecting, and His Holiness the Bishop says I am the most suitable candidate! Please trust my abilities, Miss Rita!”

Susana kept talking nonstop ever since she entered the nest, not even giving Rita a chance to interrupt.

Finally, Rita managed to find an opening to speak, but Susana had already changed into her gear at lightning speed, fully equipped with a helmet, searchlight, digging pick, and so on.

"Miss Rita, I'm ready! Let's get going! I can't wait to begin our adventure!"

"Please wait a moment..."

Rita grabbed the rushing Susana, then turned around and took out a stack of documents that were taller than the two of them combined.

"Before that, we need to find clues to the location of the Key of God in these documents."

"Ugh... Ah, this..."

Looking at the piles of documents filling the room and reaching the ceiling, Susana fell into deep thought...

“Reading is the thing I’m worst at…” Susana was on the verge of tears, completely despairing.

"Please rest assured, in addition to Miss Susana, we have also invited an assistant."

Rita opened the door to the room, and outside, the museum curator, Catherine, had just arrived.

After Susana and Catherine briefly introduced themselves to each other, the three of them began searching for clues about the Key of God in the sea of ​​books.

After some time, Rita asked the question first.

"Miss Catherine, what are your thoughts on the whereabouts of the Divine Key?"

“There are countless places in England today associated with the legend of King Arthur. Jentagel Castle, the birthplace of King Arthur. Snow Mountain, where King Arthur made his name by slaying the giant. And Glastonbury Castle, now considered the most likely location of Avalon. All of them are famous because of the legend of King Arthur.” Catherine said, listing the pictures one by one.

"Do we have to go to all these places?" Susana's eyes widened as she forced herself to finish reading the books. "It feels like it'll take a long time... Miss Catherine, do you have any suggestions?"

"Hmm... if what you're looking for is King Arthur's holy sword..."

Catherine stood up, picked up the historical record that Susanna had been looking at for a long time, but the book was completely turned upside down.

They turned to the page about Avalon, which was presented to Rita and Susana.

"Glastonbury Rock, located near Glastonbury, is the legendary entrance to the fairy kingdom of Avalon."

Merlin gave Arthur the holy sword, forged by fairies, making that place, like Glastonbury, considered the closest to Avalon. It can be our first stop.

Rita thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "In that case, let's go."

"Yay!" Susana cheered happily, finally free from having to look at these lousy documents.

--------------

"The Valkyrie of Destiny has arrived at the designated location; we can begin implementing the plan."

"I didn't expect them to take the bait so easily. You've really worked hard. In that case, let's treat them well."

Jackal hung up the communication and looked at the screen in front of him. Jiuxiao and Durandal had been marked with a big X, but Jackal didn't care about Rita and Susana at all.

Jiu Xiao was imprisoned, and the power of public opinion prevented Tianming from getting him out. Jiu Xiao himself would also voluntarily stay in prison for moral reasons.

Durandal's vacation was abruptly interrupted due to the Honkai Beasts that World Serpent released into the outside world, and she left to deal with the Honkai Beasts in various places.

"With such power, yet bound tightly by people, blinded by Otto's utter nonsense, wandering the world. Nine Heavens, Durandal, what pitiful banners... But soon it will be your turn. The serpent is coming..."

On Glastonbury Rock, Susana was using a detector to search around.
