Their commission was suspicious.

Durandal fought off the Honkai Beasts ahead, while Chen Luo used his wind elemental power to accelerate himself from behind, allowing him to catch up with Durandal and then start collecting materials.

The zombies and Honkai Beasts are different. Honkai Beasts have a much higher chance of dropping materials. In fact, even if you kill hundreds or thousands of zombies, you might not get any decent materials. But Honkai Beasts are different. They have a higher probability of dropping materials, and the quality of those materials is also better.

Although Chen Luo is not yet at the point of using these materials to make dolls, it's always good to collect them first.

Half an hour later, Durandal, whose armor was somewhat torn, suddenly stopped after eliminating a Honkai Beast.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" After picking up some useful materials dropped by the Honkai Beast, Chen Luo rushed over.

“100 Honkai Beasts have been killed,” Durandal said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo glanced at Durandal's kill record.

103 Honkai Beasts.

301 assassins.

A total of 3555 crystals

This is only the profit from one hour.

The assassins were just there to deliver the goods; they were just side items.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Luo offered him an energy drink.

"It's not really strenuous, just a warm-up." Durandal stretched before taking the sports drink from Chen Luo.

"..."

What a Versailles this is...

No, Durandal shouldn't understand Versailles; that should be the truth.

It has to be said that Durandal is still the strongest.

In fact, the Herrscher of Knowledge might be stronger than Durandal, but Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge are so familiar with each other that he doesn't feel that she is stronger at all.

Chen Luo only knew that the Law Master didn't like washing dishes.

And they are very easy to fool.

No, it's that they're easy to coax.

"So what are you planning to do next, Durandal? Didn't you come here to catch me? But you should know you can't catch me," Chen Luo said after shrugging.

Hearing Chen Luo's rather arrogant and smug words, Youlandail couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

When did being fast become an advantage?

However, Chen Luo was indeed fast, and his various escape methods were impossible to guard against.

Although Durandal has become familiar with Chen Luo, it is precisely because of this that Durandal knows just how difficult it is to capture Chen Luo.

Capturing Chen Luo back to the Heavenly Mandate headquarters is an utterly impossible task.

"Next, I'll help you kill a few more Honkai Beasts, and then we'll go check out that survivor base you mentioned. I'm quite curious about it. I heard it's all children there, is that right?" Durandal asked casually.

"Yes, those are all children, mostly incomplete awakeners of the Holy Mark, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to survive the Third Honkai Impact. But because of this, they will have to stay in Changkong City for a while until a suitable place for them to live is found."

"But you said you helped someone else set up this survivor base, is that right?"

“Yes, it was set up for a mercenary named Raven. Although Raven is a mercenary, she seems to really like children. The first time I met her, she was with a child who had amnesia,” Chen Luo said.

“A mercenary has arrived in Changkong City, where the third collapse has occurred. You need to keep a close eye on her,” Durandal instructed Chen Luo.

"Don't worry, I've figured out her background for now," Chen Luo said, waving his hand.

"Beep beep!" Just as Chen Luo and Durandal were chatting, the communicator on Durandal's arm began to vibrate rapidly.

After a moment of surprise, Durandal switched directly from voice communication to video communication.

"Lady Durandal, is your video chat function working again?" Rita appeared on the screen once again.

Upon hearing this, Durandal glared at Chen Luo again.

Chen Luo always likes to use his name to swindle and deceive people, and he always succeeds.

However, considering that she was indeed unconscious at the time, Durandal decided not to bring it up again.

“Yes, it’s fixed again.” Durandal could only nod.

"So you caught... well, it seems you have caught it. We meet again, Mr. Traveler." Rita said to Chen Luo after seeing him on the screen.

“We meet again, Miss Rita,” Chen Luo replied.

"It can't be considered catching him. Although this guy is right next to me, his escape skills are top-notch. I doubt there's anyone in the world who can catch him." Now that she saw Rita on the video, Durandal was even too lazy to grab Chen Luo next to her.

LOL, you can't catch it at all!

"I see..." Rita nodded thoughtfully.

"Let's not talk about him. What's wrong with Rita calling me so urgently through the emergency communication channel?" Durandal asked.

“Oh, here’s the thing. His Holiness the bishop said that if you can’t be sure you can catch this traveler, you should return to headquarters as soon as possible. Headquarters has been robbed.” Rita’s expression turned serious.

"Didn't you say at the beginning that it was just a little mouse?" Durandal asked, puzzled.

Durandal knew her adjutant quite well and could fully affirm her abilities.

“It seems I underestimated them. They did leave many loopholes at first, but I only recently discovered that these loopholes were deliberately left to lower our guard and make us think they were just petty thieves. Just now, they stole something very important,” Rita said seriously.

"What is that?" Durandal's heart skipped a beat.

"I heard it's the prototype of the Godslayer Armor, but we don't know its exact name yet. Also stolen along with it is the Plague Gem, and it seems that something that has caused the bishop great anxiety has also been lost." Rita's expression was rather grave.

"...I'll be right back."

Rita understands.

After ending her call with Rita, Durandal looked at Chen Luo beside her.

"I might not be able to accompany you in hunting Honkai Beasts anymore; I need to go back quickly," Durandal said to Chen Luo.

"I understand, I understand." Chen Luo nodded hurriedly.

“But there’s no need to look so serious. If you want to see me, just come to the tavern. You can come anytime you want as long as you imagine this tavern. But first of all, I usually open at night, so I probably won’t be here during the day,” Chen Luo said to Youlandai.

"Really? That's really convenient. Alright, I'll contact you when I have time. I should go now." Durandal nodded slightly.

"Wait a minute," Chen Luo suddenly said.

"What's wrong?" Durandal asked, who had just been about to inform Alvitt.

Do you need me to give you a ride?

"Give me a ride?" Durandal was taken aback.

……

When Durandal followed Chen Luo out of the tavern again, they arrived at an unfamiliar place.

"Where is this?" Durandal asked, staring blankly at the house in front of her.

“This is St. Freya Academy. Now that such a big thing has happened, even St. Freya students should give you face and provide you with a faster flying vehicle to send you back to the Destiny Headquarters, right?” After Chen Luo finished speaking, he stepped forward and knocked on the door of the residence.

"Who is it?" The homeowner came out when he heard the doorbell.

"Oh, isn't this Himeko? Long time no see."

"Long time no see? I just saw you yesterday. Wait, Chen Luo, what are you doing at my doorstep?" The woman who opened the door after seeing Chen Luo rubbed her eyes hard, thinking she was seeing things.

"You'll have to ask Kiana about why I was able to get to your doorstep, but now's not the time to talk about that. You should know Durandal, right?" Chen Luo shifted his body, allowing Himeko, who looked like she was in a deep sleep, to see the Valkyrie behind him.

"Durandal?" Himeko was clearly surprised when she saw Durandal.

Himeko and Durandal had met before, and in a way, Himeko was Durandal's guide to Schicksal.

That's right, it's 0.1.

"Major Himeko, long time no see. You've had too much to drink again? You should be on the Hyperion by now, right?" Durandal said after glancing up at the sun.

"Ahem, you might not believe it, but I took a day off," Himeko said somewhat awkwardly.

The person behind him felt a little embarrassed to see his hair all messy, especially since it was this somewhat stiff and old-fashioned Durandal.

Himeko could already imagine Durandal calling her name for ages because of this.

"As the captain of the Hyperion... never mind, Major Himeko, does St. Freya Academy have a fast enough aircraft? I need to get back to Schicksal headquarters immediately." Durandal had originally intended to give a lecture, but it was clear that something more important was at hand.

Although there is indeed a flying machine prepared by Heaven's Mandate in the neighboring city of Changkong City, it is not known for its speed.

That's why Durandal came with Chen Luo.

"Yes, of course, wait here, I'll go get it for you right away." Seeing that Durandal had no intention of lecturing her at all, Himeko hurriedly ran back into the house in her slippers.

"Well, you two can talk first. I need to go back and continue killing soldiers." Chen Luo waved to Durandal and then walked back to the bar door that wasn't closed properly.

"Mm." Durandal nodded, watching Chen Luo disappear before her eyes.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Saving Private Kiana

Rewards: 1000 Primogems + St. Freya's Student Teacher Certificate + Random Stigmata.

1000 raw stones acquired.

"Alright, come out now. It's amazing you even managed to steal the Blank Key back." After returning to the bar, Chen Luo shouted to the second floor.

"Hehe, I already told you, this time I'm going to pull off something big." The Herrscher of Knowledge slowly walked down from the second floor with her hands behind her back and smiled at Chen Luo.

"Well, you really pulled off something big. You stole someone's Blank Key."

"How can you call it theft? The Blank Key is the property of the Flame Chaser. Didn't Otto also find it through archaeological excavation? Archaeology, to put it nicely, is actually just tomb raiding, isn't it?" The Herrscher of Knowledge sneered.

"That makes some sense," Chen Luo said, speechless.

"And guess what I'm holding in my hand? This is the real gift I brought for you," the Herald of Knowledge urged Chen Luo.

"Hmm, it can't possibly be Otto, right?"

"Tch, how perfunctory." The Herald of Knowledge curled his lip and then tossed a golden cube to Chen Luo.

"???" Chen Luo stared at the golden cube, his mind going blank for a moment.

How did you manage to steal this?

Chapter 101 Getting to Know Chen Luo's Void Treasury

"How did you manage to steal this?" Chen Luo stared incredulously at the golden cube suspended in the air by wind elements.

"How about it? Surprised?" the Herrscher of Knowledge said with a grin.

"There was some surprise, but more of a shock. Where did you get this thing?" Chen Luo was completely baffled.

However, upon closer reflection, it's clear that while Otto is indeed incredibly powerful, the Herrscher of Knowledge is no pushover either.

“Otto is indeed a formidable opponent, but who am I? I am the Herrscher of Knowledge, I am omnipotent.”

"In the end, Otto lost the Void Treasury, the Key of the Void, and the Plague Gem. I also managed to smuggle a few Soul Steel bodies from his collection for you. I must say, Otto really has a lot of Soul Steel reserves," the Herrscher of Knowledge remarked.

After hearing the Herrscher of Knowledge's lament, Chen Luo sighed and finally reached out his hand to the golden cube that was being held up in the air by the wind element.

This was, after all, a token of the Lawgiver's goodwill, and now that it's been seized, it's impossible to return it.

"Aren't you disrupting the plot by doing this?" Chen Luo complained.

Actually, it's quite strange. It wasn't Chen Luo who wanted to maintain the Honkai Impact 3 storyline. Chen Luo didn't care about these things. It was actually the Herrscher of Knowledge herself who wanted to maintain the storyline.

Chen Luo never knew what the Herrscher of Knowledge was thinking or what it wanted to do, but he generally wouldn't object to what the Herrscher of Knowledge wanted.

"Hey, I only want to maintain the current storyline. If the storyline suddenly breaks down, wouldn't we lose the chance to see the old man's amusing expressions?"

"The only chance that the Blank Key will appear is when Himeko battles Kiana, the Herrscher of the Void, which is several years later. Besides, with the two of us causing trouble, it's basically impossible for that to happen. So I took it back."

"And then there's that Void Treasury. Otto's been playing with this thing for 500 years. He should have learned almost everything he needed to know. He's not a martial artist, so what would he need it for? Instead of keeping it for Kevin later, why not give it to you? You're just missing a Key of Domination, aren't you?" the Herrscher of Knowledge said.

"You still remember this?" Chen Luo replied casually, while keeping his eyes fixed on the First Divine Key in front of him.

"Of course." The Herrscher of Knowledge nodded proudly, then waited to be praised by Chen Luo.

The Taixu Sword Qi without the Sword of Domination is not the complete Taixu Sword Qi. In particular, the meaning within the Taixu Sword Qi requires the Key of Domination to work in conjunction with it, which is the Xuanyuan Sword.
