Chapter Ninety-Nine: Otto Returns
When Xiu woke up, it was already dark.
His first reaction was to spit out all the sour liquid in his mouth, grab the water bladder and pour a few mouthfuls to make the sour taste of the mouth muscles ache.
What the hell is going on...
He carefully recalled how he felt before going to bed, but he didn't remember it anymore.
It seems that you are still eating bread before going to bed?
Glancing back at the bed, a flattened loaf of bread lay there. He grabbed the loaf of bread and pinched it. It already feels like a dough cake.
"Don't look, you fell asleep with bread in your hand." Otto's muffled voice sounded, "I want to help you take it down, but you still hold it tightly, so I will give up." ”
Xiu turned around to see Otto sitting on the bed half-leaning on the head of the bed, bending his legs to put the book on his lap, pressing the pages with one hand and chewing the bread with the other. The bread brought by the companions was still piled up on the table like a mountain.
"When did you come back?" Xiu swallowed the water and asked.
"After you fall asleep. I don't know how long you've been asleep. Otto snapped the book and put it aside with the bread in his hand, "This time, Xiu, I need your help..."
"If it's the same thing from last time, I'd like to refuse."
"It worked out this time."
"I... Already successful? ”
"yes, I made a small version and I tried it myself. It can be fired, the target is more accurate than a gunpowder projectile, more powerful than a gunpowder projectile, and has a longer range. Now I'm doing this, and it's for the size of your Kaslana handcuffs. Otto rummaged through the large bag beside him for a moment, and pulled out a delicate box.
The box is inscribed in Latin: Till death. Beneath the text is a blooming rose, and the central clasp of the box is carved from a brilliant sapphire cutout.
This is obviously a jewelry box, such a box is used to hold the queen's wedding ring, what does Otto want to do with such a thing? Xiu looked at Otto's mysterious smile suspiciously.
When he opened the box, there were two rows of new ammunition he had made, and there were only three in each row.
Xiu picked one up and examined it closely, and found that its tip was also engraved with strange lines.
It feels pretty good.
"I've made six of these things right now. I can give you one to try. By the way, I've named this thing: Bullets. ”
"Oh, bullets." Xiu responded lightly.
Otto was suffocated by the coldness of being repaired, "So what does it mean to be cold?" Do you know what that means? That means a shot can be fired in a second! You know how much of an increase in the rate of fire this is? "Otto grabbed the bullet in front of Shen Zaixiu" The most important thing is that as long as it is strengthened deeply, it is possible for him to penetrate the skin of the Honkai Beast! In other words, it can deal direct damage to Honkaimon! Straightforward: Do you know what that means? ”
"That means if I use your bullet, my hand might have to burst open again." Xiu reluctantly put away the bullet, "Otto, I have an injury to my left hand, and I can't help you test it." It will take at least a month for this wound to heal... At least Suzanne Instructor said it would take more than a month. ”
"How did you get hurt?" Otto frowned, "Who hurt you?" ”
"Rodria."
"Rhodría?" Otto said in surprise: "He is the number one swordsman of Destiny!" He is very measured in his fight, it is impossible to have such a big mistake? ”
"Then it seems that I am still very good, I let him make a mistake." Xiu smiled, gently brushing his bandaged hand. When the finger brushes the wound through the bandage, you can still feel a little pain.
"By the way, Otto, you said that the first swordsmanship master of the Mandate of Heaven... What does that mean? ”
"You don't know? He hurt you, and you don't even know about him? Otto looked at him incredulously, "Your wound is really in vain." Don't you even ask? ”
Xiu scratched his head embarrassedly, "I thought he was the instructor, how could he think so much... But this destiny first... Did he surpass Kaslana? ”
"Does anyone in your family still use a sword?" Otto shrugged, "Your spearfighting skills are much stronger than your swordsmanship. After all, the sword still has to be close, and the gun only needs to pull the trigger. Who would go out of their way to hone their swordsmanship, do you want to use your sword to discuss your skills with Honkaimon? Otto said indifferently.
"Then why is he..."
"It's swordsmanship, not combat power. The top combat power is all you Kaslana's people, what is there to say. I don't even want to remember names. ”
"Otto, you know so much." Xiu said with some admiration.
"You think my money was spent for nothing?" Otto seemed to think of something, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked distressed, "With so much money, if I didn't even understand the basic situation, I would have saved this money to do research." ”
"But you also succeeded, didn't you." Xiu patted Otto on the shoulder, "If it's really as you said, if we fight in the future, maybe we won't have to worry about the invasion of the dead, and we can concentrate on dealing with the Honkai Beast with all our might." If it's a little stronger... Maybe Honkaimon isn't a threat anymore. ”
"That's it." Otto raised his chin proudly, "I am the first researcher of the future of destiny. Later, I'll do your weapons! ”
"Then you're going to make me a better weapon." Xiu smiled.
"Who are you and me, I can't get rid of the garbage." Otto smiled confidently, "When I become the principal investigator in the future, I will share this honor with you."
"When I become the first knight of the Mandate of Heaven in the future, I will also share this glory with you. But compared to this glory..."Xiu smiled bitterly, "I hope that when you go out in the future, you will remember to put your equipment away." You don't know, after you left, Instructor Gerald was a night raid that night, and the instructors rushed in at once. I'm glad I put things away for you, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to explain them. ”
"Okay, got it." Otto patted Xiu on the shoulder, "I'll pay attention next time, thank you." ”
"Alright, I've got to feed the horses. I'll be back a little later in the evening, and I don't know how late it will be. ”
"Where are you going?"
"I fell asleep in the examination room, and I basically handed in a blank paper for the cultural course assessment, and now I'm going to make up the class." Xiu cleaned up his textbooks, "I'm not like you, I'm hiding here safely, I can go to the classroom if I want, and I can go out of the training city if I want to." I'm still going to follow the rules here. ”
"If you want, you can do it at any time." Otto suddenly said mysteriously, "Tell me, you can go out of the city at any time... But if the instructor finds out, you have to explain it yourself. ”
"Then I still don't want to go out, I don't know what to do when I go out anyway, I might as well train for a while." Xiu grabbed the textbook and bit a piece of bread, "I'm leaving, I haven't fed it for a day..."
"Don't worry about your horse, I've added a little bit of forage." Otto said suddenly.
"You added it?" Xiu looked at him incredulously. Otto would actually help him feed the horses? It's hard to imagine.
"I think your horse is really handsome, and I like it so I feed you, but your horse is very vigilant, when I used to go hay, it was far away from me, and it didn't pay attention to me at all, I walked for a long time before I ate a little, this is a loyal good horse. Where did you get this horse, it's good luck. ”
"This is what I brought from my family. When it was first brought out, it hadn't finished training yet. Xiu walked out the door, his voice drifting softly into the room.
"What? You dare to bring it out if you don't finish the training? "Otto couldn't believe it.
"That's right. If I hadn't done it, I would have lost it. "Gently close the door" may be what the doctrine says: the will of God. I remember you asked, forgot? ”
"I have to focus on my research every day, and I don't have the extra mind to remember a horse." Otto responded.
"Divine will?" After Xiu walked away, Otto repeated the word. He smiled sarcastically.
If there is God's will, then what is God's plan for me?
