Chapter 9 Chongxi
Yae Ji was a little unaccustomed to riding a carriage again. In the world of giants, he was already accustomed to the "chugging, chugging" sound of steam locomotives.
For some reason, Arthur pulled him into the same carriage, while Yae Sakura and Kallen took the second one.
At this time, Arthur's eyes without sadness or joy were always on him, which made Yaeji feel his scalp numb.
It's really scary for an old man who is already bald to stare at you with such eyes.
Yaeji leaned back on the cushion in the back and realized that Arthur was not going to let him go...
"I admit that it was my fault that day. I shouldn't have taken Karen out to play secretly, but I really regret it..."
"What did you say?" Arthur asked after coming back to his senses.
Yaeji: "..."
"Ahem~" Arthur was embarrassed. He was actually in a daze just now and really didn't hear clearly what the pink-haired boy was saying.
"I heard from the eldest lady that you are going to the Yis District to find His Highness Ned?"
"Yeah." Yaeji said honestly, "I'm going to apply for the qualification of an inspection priest from him."
"You want to go to the military area?" Arthur frowned, then calmed down, "It's not a bad idea to go see your former teammates. The beast tide has just ended, so there's no danger in going there."
Yaeji nodded, but in his heart he expected to encounter danger, the kind of danger that would push his human body into a desperate situation.
Only in this way can the hypermutable factors in the body have a chance to be released.
When he becomes a fusion warrior and takes the Heavenly Fire Sword from the Kaslana family, his combat power should be comparable to that of the legendary S-class Valkyrie.
Arthur tentatively said: "Your...sister once told me that a warrior who can control the power of frost will soon appear, and by then he will become the new master of the Skyfire Holy Tribunal."
As Arthur said this, he observed Yaeji's expression, as if he wanted to get some clues from it, but unfortunately, the expression on Yaeji's face was just the right amount of surprise.
"Really? I really hope that the next warrior in charge of the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment will be as good as Uncle Francis."
Speaking of Francis, the God of War, there was silence between the two again.
In this matter, Yae Ji was still very cautious. He would never say something like "I will be the next one to control the power of frost, please hand over the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment to me immediately."
Arthur also followed Yae Ji's example and leaned back. This kind of relaxed posture was really rare for Arthur.
"Is the military area in a hurry?"
Yaeji couldn't understand Arthur's words. What did he mean?
"It's okay, it's not in a hurry."
"Then stay in the Yis District for a few more days. After the family has discussed it, we may hold a funeral for the master." Arthur paused, raised his head and stared into Yaeji's eyes, "You can't leave the eldest lady alone.
Is it there?"
"I heard that Uncle Francis may be resurrected!" Yaeji frowned and said, "Isn't it inappropriate to hold a funeral?"
"The things buried are old things from the past. They are not large in scale and come from the two major families of Tianming. As for the owner's body... it will still be stored according to what he said. We look forward to the day when we can be resurrected."
Se was silent for two seconds, then added: "It's just possible, it's not determined yet."
"Okay, I'll wait for news in Is."
Hearing Yaeji's promise, Arthur's old face showed a happy smile, and struck the iron while it was hot: "I will try to persuade the family to get engaged this time..."
"No, no, no!" Yaeji quickly interrupted: "It's so inappropriate to say this at a meeting discussing Uncle Francis's funeral."
"If there's anything inappropriate, the master's soul might be watching."
Arthur's smile was reflected on his retinas, and Yaeji shuddered. He still couldn't understand the thinking of these people.
Is this the legendary "happiness"?
...
The headquarters area of the Holy See of Destiny——Is.
Arthur has been sending the Yae brothers and sisters to Ned's manor.
After Kallen reluctantly said goodbye to the two brothers and sisters, the motorcade drove towards the old residence of the head of the Kaslana family.
Not far nor close to the Cathedral of Destiny.
Yaeji held his sister's hand and looked towards the cathedral in the distance.
The cathedral is indeed the highest-quality building in the entire Destiny region. Even if a corner of it was knocked down by a chariot-level Honkaiju, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Many buildings in the Yis District were crushed by tank-level Honkai Beasts, and Ned's manor was an exception.
There were still the same two guards at the door. The older one knew who was coming when he saw Yaeji's rather special pink hair.
Before Yaeji could speak, the guard had a smile on his face and said, "Sir, are you here to see His Highness?"
"Well, go tell Ned."
"Ouch~" The old guard winked at the young guard and hurriedly took it from Yaeji's hand as a salute.
"His Highness has given instructions that adults and young ladies can enter the manor at any time as long as they return. The previous room is being cleaned every day and is reserved for adults."
Yaeji smiled, took his sister's hand, and walked towards the courtyard.
The guard was carrying two people's small bags and was one step behind them. "His Royal Highness is next door. In a moment..."
"I'll go find him later."
As soon as Yaeji finished speaking, the small wooden door connecting to the manor was pushed open, and Ned's laughter could also be heard.
"Aji, you didn't even tell me in advance when you came back!"
The old guard quickly placed his things and left quickly with the young guard beside Ned.
"Isn't it too late?" Yaeji laughed and said, "Last time I took the military zone's car, and this time I took Kallen's car, I didn't even have time to notify."
Ned approached, his green eyes lit up, "Miss Sakura is here too?"
Yae Sakura nodded her head to Ned, and then ducked behind her brother.
"Where's Miss Rin? Didn't she come with you?"
"Rin also wants to help me manage Siti, so I'm temporarily unavailable." Yae Ji replied, patting Sakura on the shoulder at the same time.
Yae Sakura understood and walked towards the house.
After seeing Sakura leave, Ned also let go, walked over and took Yaeji's arm, "Come on, let's go have a drink today, and I'll also tell you about the Holy See."
"What about the Holy See?" Yaeji showed interest, "What are the details?"
"The old man wants to move the capital. He said that when things settle down, he will move the headquarters to Italy or Austria."
Yaeji's eyes brightened slightly, and he could analyze a lot from Ned's words.
Just when Yaeji was about to ask something, Ned suddenly lowered his head and sniffed his clothes.
"Are you wearing perfume? What style? It smells good, but it's too feminine."
Yaeji's face turned dark.
After saying this, Ned felt uncomfortable all over.
Taking his arm off Yaeji's shoulder, Ned took another half step back.
