A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

Yeah, it's not surprising that they're talking about marriage... my ass!

At that moment, an incredibly subtle expression appeared on Durandal's face.

“Alvitt, I don’t find this joke funny at all.”

Yulandel was well aware of what had happened that day during Gu Yu and Rita's first meeting.

Rita, following the bishop's instructions, took the initiative to test Gu Yu's strength.

If Gu Yu had reacted even a fraction slower, Rita's scythe might have already struck him.

Okay, even if their relationship improves later, given how little time they've spent together, how could they have gotten to the point of discussing marriage...?

When did the intelligence emerge?

About six months ago.

Yes, it really is fake.

Six months ago was the busiest time for Gu Yu and Rita. Rita worked overtime every day and had no time to date, while Gu Yu easily defeated several Herrschers.

What kind of mess is this? Has the intelligence service gotten this chaotic?

"Alvit, please pass on this message to the head of the intelligence department. If they make another blunder like this, I will ask the Archbishop to order a thorough overhaul of the intelligence department."

After saying this in an annoyed tone, Durandal lightly jumped off the hospital bed and walked out of the ward.

"Take care of the other matters for me for now. I'm going to find the Archbishop."

"If it were him, he should have a way to deal with these enemies!"

--------

A few minutes later, in Otto's room...

In Otto's room, he stared at the combat data in front of him, lost in thought.

Although Otto had a preliminary understanding of the enemy's strength after the Tranquility Gem was taken from him last time.

But now, after reviewing the data analysis submitted by the data analysis department, Otto realized that he had underestimated those eccentric people.

There is no doubt that the three monsters are extremely powerful, and it is also easy to see that their flying fangs can steal human life energy.

However, after these flying fangs absorbed the Valkyrie's life force, they were able to directly transform it into a mysterious power that rapidly healed the injuries on the monsters.

If those three strange people hadn't possessed this ability, the other two strange people besides the bat-like monster wouldn't have been able to leave so easily.

The reason why Destiny failed today is simply because these two strange people appeared for a shorter period of time than last time.

Otto realized that they were after Rita Losweiser.

Rita's importance to Schicksal is self-evident. After all, Kiana doesn't follow orders, Durandal isn't quick-witted enough, and Rita is the most suitable person to handle many matters, big and small, that are inconvenient for others to deal with.

Although she holds the prestigious S-class Valkyrie status, Rita, who handles all the dirty and tiring work, hardly gets any rest.

Simply put—she's the most powerful tool in Schicksal's arsenal, and it would be a shame if she really died.

It's a pity, but Otto wouldn't take the risk for a useful tool.

If the enemy hadn't touched one of Otto's sore spots, the Tranquil Gem, Otto wouldn't have considered provoking such a terrifyingly powerful being.

There are many ways to use a tool. If it can earn the friendship of a powerful person, then the price of an S-class Valkyrie is not unacceptable.

This time, however, Otto looked at the report in his hand and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Ah, I see. Although I don't know if this report is accurate, it seems that Rita's relationship with Gu Yu isn't as bad as I thought."

"In other words, when Gu Yu pressed Rita's head into the ground back at St. Freya Academy, it wasn't his intention."

"Two fearless brats...looks like they're just putting on an act for me."

Chapter 638. Magi A-Meng, please help me!

If this information is true, then the relationship between Gu Yu and Rita is indeed like that of lovers.

Well, continuing our speculation, the last time Otto was supposed to officiate at Gu Yu and Kiana's wedding, Gu Yu beat him up on the spot.

Well, on one hand, there's an engagement she can't refuse, and on the other hand, her lover is waiting for her.

That's amazing! So that's why I got so angry and beat him up back then—this kid had something to hide.

That makes things much easier. The last provocation wasn't enough, and Gu Yu seems to be hesitant to go all out for some reason.

If the intelligence this time matches my guess, Gu Yu will definitely rush out the moment her lover is in danger.

I'll wait until he and those weirdos have fought to the death before I consider whether to intervene.

As for Rita...

Hmph, not being absolutely loyal is being absolutely disloyal.

Rita dared to do other things behind my back before, it seems she already harbored ulterior motives towards me.

Even the best tool should not be kept if it poses a risk of turning against its owner.

Although she was clearly less dangerous to me than Siegfried, whom I failed to kill, a threat is still a threat.

Once Rita returns, I'll have to find an opportunity to let her carry out this final mission.

After squeezing every last bit of value out of this woman, I'll consider it an act of mercy and send her and Gu Yu to become a pair of doomed lovers.

"Your Majesty Bishop!"

Just as Otto was about to continue thinking about his next move, Durandal, unusually, barged into Otto's office and looked at him anxiously.

"The enemy has already captured Rita. They dared to attack Destiny to seize the core, and they dared to kidnap an S-class Valkyrie. If this continues, I don't even want to think about what else they might do!"

"Please allow me to lead the Divine Machine Force and the Valkyrie Force to—"

"Durandal, you..."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Otto sighed helplessly.

"Impulsive and reckless. Do you think you can accomplish anything, even leading a large force, with your current broken body?"

"The enemy has interfered with our tracking system. Without the enemy, you are like a headless fly, unable to continue your mission."

"Meanwhile, an enemy lurking in the shadows could ambush you at any moment. Your injuries haven't fully healed, and you can't control the Black Abyss White Flower and the World Bubble within you. Now tell me..."

"—How can someone like you save Rita?"

Seeing Durandal hesitate to speak, Otto said earnestly.

“You are now the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal's current era. You represent not only yourself, but all of Schicksal's combat forces. Do you think that if you act recklessly at this time—how serious the consequences could be? Have you considered this?”

"Your Excellency... I'm sorry, I was wrong."

After being refuted by Otto, Durandal had no choice but to admit her mistake.

"Alright, it's not your fault. After all, Rita is your good friend, so it's perfectly normal for you to worry about her. Concern can cloud judgment, so there's not much more to say. I'll figure out how to handle things with Rita. For now, just focus on recovering."

"Yes."

After seeing Durandal leave, Otto devised his lines, which put him at ease for the time being.

Although both are chess pieces, Durandal is not only more capable than the quick-witted Rita, but also doesn't think too much and usually chooses to obediently follow Otto's orders.

Who doesn't like a brainless thug?

Furthermore, since Rita's life is now in danger, if the only person in the world who could possibly change Durandal's loyalty were to disappear completely, Otto would be able to use the girl in front of him more easily.

Although the conflict between Otto and Gu Yu had not yet fully erupted, he was well aware that the conflict between him and Gu Yu was already irreconcilable.

If that day truly comes, Durandal, as Otto's strongest trump card, absolutely cannot be lost before then.

........................

On the same day, at St. Freya Academy.

Inside St. Freya Academy, Gu Yu looked at the information sent by a stranger and fell into deep thought.

The intelligence indicates that Schicksal was attacked by the Fangbloods for the second time. Rook and Bishop stormed Schicksal headquarters, killed some Valkyries, and took Rita Rossweisse away.

Hmm, I don't know why, but the intelligence report specifically emphasized this point, as if it were hinting at something.

"Damn it, that scoundrel Otto, does he really think I don't know he's using this guy as a pawn for me?"

Gu Yu understood why the Tranquility Gem was taken away. After all, the Herrscher Core was a treasure in every sense, and it wouldn't be a bad thing to get it to enhance one's strength.

But what's the point of kidnapping Rita... kidnapping this hapless car crash king?

It's not that I look down on this hero who worked himself to death for humanity, it's just that...

Gu Yu thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any outstanding achievements Rita had to show for herself.

In terms of strength, she is inferior to Durandal; in terms of bloodline, she is inferior to Kiana, who possesses the dual titles of "Knight" and "Saintess." Among the three S-rank Valkyries, she is the weakest.

Unless the Vampire wanted to kidnap her and transform her into a Vampire, turning this S-class Valkyrie into a lackey of another race, Gu Yu couldn't think of any other reason why Bishop and Rook would take the risk of kidnapping Rita.

"Sigh, forget it, don't think about it too much. We still need to save people. But now, where should I go to dig for them... Oh well, I've got an idea."

After infusing Honkai energy into the Stigmata, Gu Yu lay down on the bed and fell into a coma.

When he woke up again, he was already in his own Sacred Mark space.

"Well, there are two ways. First..."

"—Doctor! Are you free now?"

Why are you shouting so loudly?

After hearing Gu Yu's call, Maki walked out of the laboratory, cursing.

Hmm, it's been a while since we last met.

"Doctor, you're practically a suicide squad member, could you at least offer some explanation...?"

"—Why do you still have dark circles under your eyes?"

"These are all minor matters. If you have something to say, please speak quickly."

"Well, I'll get straight to the point then. Doctor, I just want to ask..."

At that moment, after a moment's thought, Gu Yu asked the old man in front of him a question.

Do you have any equipment that can instantly locate a person's position anywhere in the world?
