Fantasies That Descend on Collapse

Siegfried was holding a big sword and standing on the spot, while his daughter Kiyana knelt down in front of her, covering her face with her hands. It can be seen from Kiyana's trembling shoulders that she is now The heart is very contradictory.

She has no reason to give up on the life of the person she loves the most on the one hand, and the only family member on the other, but now she has to make her own choice between the two.

Should he obey his father's words, or... defy his father's order and walk the path he chose.

(My stupid daughter, I hope your final choice...don't let me down.)

Siegfried now knows exactly what is going on in Kiyana's heart. After all, when anyone encounters this problem, they should have this reaction, right?

Looking at Kiyana, who was kneeling on the ground and about to collapse, Siegfried also thought to himself, if this problem happened to him, what choice would he make?

(Can you give up the person you love the most in order to protect the world? What a ridiculous idea...)

As a member of the Kaslana family, Siegfried has learned from his parents since he was a child what the meaning of the name Kaslana really stands for.

The members of the Kaslana family are born to be warriors who protect the world. Because of their super high resistance to Houkai, they will always fight on the front line of the confrontation between human beings and Houkai, and it has been the same since ancient times.

But Siegfried is a different kind. He doesn't have such lofty ideals. His biggest dream is to walk around the whole world with his own legs, but Kaslana makes him have to be given the empty mission of "guarding the world". Therefore, he was not proud of being a member of the Kaslana family. On the contrary, he quite hated this ostentatious surname.

Until one night when he was 19 years old, he understood the true meaning of the surname Kaslana. The mission of the Kaslana family is not just to protect the world. Their mission is to protect the world for the people they love the most. .

Because only after protecting the one you love the most, this world is qualified...to be called the world.

Thinking of this, Siegfried felt that his eye sockets were a little wet. After making sure that Qiyana hadn't noticed his gaffe, he reached out and quickly wiped away the tears that pooled in the corner of his eyes before asking.

"Qiana, are you ready?"

"I've figured it out, asshole dad."

Putting down the hand covering her cheek, Qiyana no longer showed any confusion on her face. Just now, she thought of the promise she made with Siegfried when she was a child.

Kiyana, we have agreed that no matter what price we pay, we must protect the one we love the most.

The agreement between the two rang in her ears. Although Qiyana had forgotten when she made the agreement with Siegfried, the content of the agreement had already been deeply remembered in her heart.

"Whether it's a human being or a Herrscher, none of this matters, because... haven't we already made an agreement?"

After standing up from the ground, Kiyana grabbed the water goblin she had thrown aside, and pointed her gun at Siegfried, who was standing in front of her, holding the great sword of skyfire.

"We have to pay all the price to protect our most important person. The real father will never stop me from saving Mei, so get out of the way! You fake!"

The confusion disappeared from her face. At this moment, Qiyana has understood her choice. Her only thought now is to defeat the counterfeit in front of her, and then go to the battlefield to save the person she loves the most.

"...I finally made my choice, Kiana. I'm glad you didn't let me down."

After hearing Qiyana's choice, Siegfried was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled lightly, very happily, but his smile at this time made Qiyana a little puzzled.

"I've been gone for four years. You've grown a lot, Kiyana. You're no longer that little girl who needs my protection."

Turning the Skyfire Great Sword in his hand back into the form of two spears, Zieg quickly walked up to Kiyana, and looked at Kiyana whose height had reached his chest, feeling deeply moved in his heart.

Recalling the bits and pieces of his life with Qiyana four years ago, he even had an unreal feeling.

"Come on Kiyana, let your bastard father hug you again."

Without Qiyana's consent, Siegfried hugged her tightly in his arms without authorization, feeling the feeling coming from his arms, this time Siegfried still couldn't hold back after all, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, this time It contained the feelings that Siegfried had suppressed for 14 years.

"It's a shame to let my daughter see such a disappointing side of my father."

No matter how hard he tried, Siegfried couldn't stop his tears at all, but after thinking about what he had experienced before, he probably knew why he lost his composure like this.

"By the way, Qiyana, didn't you ask me, what would I do if the person I love the most is also a Herrscher?"

Suddenly remembering Kiyana's previous questioning to him, Siegfried let go of Kiyana who was tightly held in his arms, and then he gave an answer that surprised Kiyana.

"If the person I love the most is Herrscher, I will protect her like you. If she turns into a monster that destroys mankind in the end, then I will choose to leave with her after killing her. I have already I don’t want to go through what happened 14 years ago again.”

After finishing speaking, Siegfried turned his gaze to the control room, where his friend Teresa was staying right now.

"Oh Teresa, long time no see! Did your heart beat faster when you saw me!"

Siegfried's words naturally annoyed Teresa. After a brief silence, a distraught voice came from the radio.

"You... what nonsense are you talking about! I haven't settled with you for taking Cecilia away! I hate you the most!"

"Hahaha, you really haven't changed at all!"

After hearing Teresa's complaint, Siegfried just smiled, and then asked in a flat tone.

"I will continue to trouble you in the future. You continue to guide my family's Kiyana. Although she is just a little fool now..."

Speaking of this, Siegfried looked at Qiyana who was sitting on the ground, and after discovering Siegfried's move, Kiyana stared back, not to be outdone, and her move made Qiyana Geoff felt a little amused.

"But one day I believe that she will grow into an excellent fighter."

After saying this, Siegfried looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to see the moon in the sky, but unfortunately, what appeared in his eyes was the gold and white ceiling of the training room.

"Is this training room built underground? It's a pity. It would be great if we could see the moonlight at this time..."

Although he regretted not being able to see the moonlight, when he thought of meeting the most important people again, those regrets in Siegfried's heart disappeared immediately.

"Okay, Kiyana, it's really time to say goodbye."

After doing all this, Siegfried hugged Qiyana who was sitting on the ground again, and then whispered in her ear with a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"In the days to come, get along well with your mother!"

After finishing speaking, Siegfried's projected body gradually turned into golden data and dissipated into the space, while Kiyana just sat there blankly, looking at the place where Siegfried stayed before.

"Qiana, are you all right! What did Siegfried say to you in the end!"

After confirming that the training program was completely stopped, Teresa left the control room and ran to Qiyana's side quickly, asking about her situation.

"I do not remember..."

"If you don't remember, forget it. The most urgent thing now is to save Mei. Hurry up and go to the equipment warehouse with me. I'm going to get Judas' oath!"

Involuntarily pulling Qiyana up from the ground, just as the two were about to leave the training room, a communication request popped up suddenly, interrupting Teresa's movements.

When Teresa saw the name of the contact person on the communication request, she was taken aback for a moment, and then read out the person's name softly.

"Otto...Grandpa..."

--------

"It's really troublesome..."

In the forest of St. Freya Academy, Luo Chen, who had taken off his disguise, was leaning against a big tree at this time. Thinking of everything that happened before, he could only sigh helplessly.

(Maybe I should just stay in the dorm and wait for Watt to visit...)

His disguise was ripped off by Qiyana in the training room, and the most important thing was that Siegfried saw his true face, but fortunately this Siegfried was just a simulated program. Thinking of this, his The mood just slightly improved.

(Luckily, the gel is still self-healing, though it doesn't work until four days later, and I just need a little care in the meantime.)

When Luochen saw the three words 'damaged' displayed on the gel, Luo Chen's first reaction was that it was terrible, but the next moment, when he saw the words 'repair time 95:50' displayed on the back, he didn't know what to do. relieved.

As long as it is not completely damaged, then I just need not to see either of Qiyana or Teresa within these four days, then there is no possibility of my appearance being exposed.

"However, the battle between Watt and the Third Herrscher is really fierce... Do you want to have a good time?"

Thinking of this, Luo Chen put the damaged gel into the system backpack, then paused slightly, and looked at the student dormitory.

At this moment, the purple lightning and a large number of Houkai can gather there, just like loyal courtiers are welcoming their emperor's arrival, which makes people daunting...

Chapter 21 Individual Thoughts

In a certain hotel in the Far East, Siegfried was lying on the hotel bed with a pair of head-mounted glasses on his face, and several data cables on it were connected to an open laptop beside him. The room was very quiet. , the only sound was the roar of the fan from the computer that was still running.

After a while, the word 'disconnect' was displayed on the screen of the laptop, and Siegfried, who was lying quietly on the bed, also moved at this time.He took off the glasses on his face with his only remaining right hand, got up from the bed, and looked at the glasses he used to invade St. Freya Academy in silence.

Thinking of what happened in Teresa's dedicated training room before, a long-lost smile appeared on his face from the bottom of his heart.

(If Teresa and Kiyana know this situation, they should be very happy...)

Putting the glasses on the table beside him, Siegfried took out a cigarette from his pocket. After putting the cigarette in his mouth and lighting it, he took a deep breath, and at the same time the thick smoke drilled into his lungs along his mouth, His thoughts gradually drifted away.

His current mood is very complicated, including the joy of reuniting with his lover, the sadness of knowing his lover's identity, and the hatred for the instigator Otto.

"By the way... Cecilia never agreed with me smoking before..."

Suddenly remembering what his lover had told him, after hesitating for a moment, Siegfried extinguished most of the cigarettes and threw them into the ashtray on the table.

Since Cecilia's death 14 years ago, Siegfried's life style has become worse and worse. Things like staying up late and drinking too much have become commonplace for him, even for him who didn't smoke much before. Over time, he gradually became a smoker.

"Forget it, let's quit..."

After making this decision, Siegfried threw the box of only one cigarette in his pocket into the trash can. He used to smoke just to numb his nerves, but now it seems...it seems that he has no need.

After doing all this, Siegfried buried himself in the sofa of the hotel, and began to think about his future plans.

(Looking at the current situation, she should be the same as Walter Yang...)

Walter Young, the leader of Anti-Entropy, is also the First Herrscher. Siegfried and him fought against the Second Herrscher in Siberia 14 years ago. Although the result was not satisfactory, after that incident, Ziegfeld Fei has a new understanding of the creature Herrscher.

A creature like the Herrscher can become a demon king who destroys the world, and at the same time it can also become a god who protects the world. There may only be a difference of one thought between the two.

"Ok?"

The vibration from his pocket interrupted Siegfried's thoughts, he reached out for the phone, saw the caller ID on the screen, and connected the call.

"Siegfried, this time I admit it. I really can't find any information about the Fourth Herrscher, and recently there has been a big move inside Anti-Entropy. Maybe for a long time in the future, I will There is no way to contact you again..."

After connecting, a slightly tired and helpless voice came to Siegfried's ears from the phone. There is no doubt that it was one of his friends in the anti-entropy conservative faction who contacted him.

"I said Siegfried, you don't have to care so much about the Fourth Herrscher, maybe it just looks the same as your lover, if you continue to be so persistent..."

Hearing what the other party said on the phone, Siegfried fell silent. He knew what his friend wanted to express. After all, according to the records, among the four known Herrschers, only the First Herrscher Walter still retained human consciousness.

But after seeing the other party with his own eyes, Siegfried had an inexplicable idea in his heart, an idea that made him feel extremely absurd.

The Fourth Herrscher...maybe has the memory of his lover.

(Obviously I just met her for the first time, but she was able to call out my name, and she actually promised me to take care of someone who had nothing to do with her at all. Does she have Cecilia's memory?)

The more he thought about it, the more Siegfried felt that his idea was correct, because the other party's actions could only be explained by this one reason.

(As for why she didn't admit her identity... Probably she thinks that she, who has become a Herrscher, is not qualified to live with us...)

14 years ago, she was a Valkyrie, and she died as a hero after the decisive battle with the Second Herrscher, but who knows, 14 years later, she became the same existence as the Second Herrscher, and her identity The gap, the average person is probably already crazy.

(If only... I was stronger then... And...)

"Siegfried? Are you there? It's nothing. I won't contact you recently. After all, it took me a long time to collect information about the Fourth Herrscher. Done."

It wasn't until now that Siegfried remembered that he was still on the phone with the other party.
