Don't use yourself as payment for the commission!

Focusing solely on economic development without military development is just like the old saying goes: "If my neighbor hoards grain, I hoard guns; my neighbor is my granary."

Bai Xun's question made Hinterlea fall into deep thought, but she quickly realized that there was no need for her to dwell on it.

What does the fall of Kazimierz have to do with her? She's an orphan anyway, and she's already chosen the peaches.

The thought of the peaches of immortality suddenly made me feel the vastness of the world!

Of course, Bai Xun knew what the little pegasus was worried about, and patiently explained one more thing.

"Don't underestimate my network of connections. I have people in the Supervisory Council. There will be a deliberately left gap in the defense network, and the main force is Fat Snake. Even if you don't come to surrender, she will sneak in alone and take care of things."

Upon hearing this, Hinterlea glanced at Horhaya with considerable surprise.

"You can also use stealth?"

Hinterlea's gaze was mainly fixed on Holhaia's impressive chest, which seemed somewhat unlikely.

With her figure, even if she hid behind a telephone pole, her chest would still bulge out, and there would be no way she could squeeze into many narrow places... Looking at it this way, I really think my figure is the most perfect!

win!

Holhaia had no idea that Hinterlea was secretly thrilled with her victory; she simply smiled confidently.

"Who said you need to be a stealth expert to infiltrate? If I just kill everyone, no one will notice my infiltration, right?"

Hinterlea: "6"

"Cough cough, killing them all was the job of the three red berserkers, not the assassins... Damn, there really are three red assassins!"

Bai Xun clicked his tongue in displeasure.

"In short, Platinum, you can rest assured. Holhaya is, after all, a feathered serpent who has undergone super evolution after reverting to its ancestral form. Although she has not yet reached the level of a giant beast, she is not someone that Xuan Tie can do anything to."

"Hmph, Xuan Tie, I'll make sure he doesn't leave alive!"

Holhaya nodded in agreement.

The two's back-and-forth banter left Hintelya speechless, leaving her with nothing to say but a helpless sigh.

She chose to wear the collar and find Bai Xun in order to escape being hunted by Xuan Tie, so how come now she's the one who has to provoke Xuan Tie?

However, thinking of how Horhaiya could easily suppress her that day without even raising her hand, using only Originium Arts, and the unfathomable strength of Bai Xun, she could only comfort herself that she was still alive.

"Sigh, I feel like I jumped off one pirate ship and landed on an even bigger one..."

Chapter 137 Blood Knight: Jieyan Jieyu - I've Had Enough with Red tape! (4k)

Whether Hintelia accepts her current situation gladly or regrets betraying the Wuzha Alliance, she has already boarded Bai Xun's pirate ship.

Fortunately, Bai Xun's workload was many times less than that of the Wuzhou Alliance. Apart from the fact that Bai Xun, who was playing the role of the Grass Python Hero, and Holhaya's voices kept her from sleeping well every night, Hinterlea was having a much more comfortable time than before.

The fact that the Unarmored Alliance members didn't come to retaliate made Hinterlea, who had been living in fear for several days, wonder if she was just overthinking things.

Although the Wuzhou Alliance didn't come knocking, today Xintelaya is going against Tiangang and follow Horhaiya to actively cause trouble for the Wuzhou Alliance.

"Kurushi..."

Walking behind Feathered Serpent under the neon lights, the white-haired Pegasus couldn't help but let out a long sigh, stroking his almost flat chest.

"Why are you sighing and complaining? Don't embarrass your master!"

The large tail twitched against the back of Pegasus's hand, but Hinterlea had no intention of arguing with Horhaia anymore; she simply shook her head and said...

“I am just an ordinary Kuranta person. Without your great power, I... can't do anything.”

"If you said this in another world, something magical might happen, but we don't have that rule on the Terra server."

Recalling the experiences she had with Bai Xun in the Honkai Impact 3rd world, Horhaia couldn't help but wag her tail and laugh.

Not knowing what Horhaiya was saying, Hinterlaya looked up at the city that never sleeps, which was illuminated by neon lights and was almost bizarre and dazzling.

The colorful advertising screens that are usually so vibrant are now all playing the same image and the same sound.

"It's 8 PM in the Great Knights' Territory! Welcome to the 23rd Kazimierz Knights Special Tournament! I'm your old friend, Big Mouth Mob!"

After countless challenges and struggles, countless victories and defeats, tonight, after three years, Casimir will be crowned another champion!

Tonight! It will be a sleepless night for Kazimierz; tonight, new legends and heroes will be born!

"Tonight is Bai Xun's final match, aren't you worried at all?"

Hinterlea glanced at the feathered serpent humming a cheerful tune as it walked toward the dark path, and couldn't help but ask a question.

But unexpectedly, his arm was slapped by that flexible tail again.

"Remember to call me Master~"

Holhaya emphasized something that made Hinterlea think to herself that this feathered serpent might have completely transformed into Haku Xun's shape.

She had to call him "master" behind his back; she didn't even dare to think about what he should call her to his face.

However, Horhaya didn't think there was anything wrong with her attitude. She looked up at the tall, muscular knight in blood-red armor on the neon screen.

"Let us welcome the legendary warrior of Minos from the Crimson Goblet of Casimir, the Blood Knight—Dicaio—Polis!"

The person introduced by Mob was Bai Xun's enemy this time, but Holhaia only glanced at him and shook her head with disdain, scoffing.

"What do I have to worry about for my master if the enemy is of this level?"

The Mother of Winter, draped in stars, the Savior clad in the world's armor, the Divine Bishop who rules the world—none of these are a match for the Master. It is an honor for this minotaur to fight against him.

"I'll just take it as fact for now."

Hinterlea didn't understand, but since Horhaia was praising her like that, she decided to take it seriously.

Anyway, she can't beat Horhaiya or Bai Xun, and since she's already on this pirate ship, the bigger and stronger the ship, the better.

Thinking this, Hinterlea shook her head to suppress her thoughts and quickly followed Holhaya toward the core city's power furnace.

Concentrating her aura and thoughts, she was now in a state of complete focus, ready to furrow her brow and shield Horhaiya in front of her at any moment should she encounter a powerful enemy.

Anyway, she can beat Horhyahya just as easily, and she definitely can't beat Horhyahya either. So, it makes no difference whether she's on the front lines or not.

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

While Platinum and Holhaya were beginning their work, Bai Xun had already stepped onto the stage of the Knights' Arena Finals.

"Rejoice! He is the embodiment of chivalry, a classic knight who seems to have stepped out of a legend, the Sun Knight from the Great Yan Dynasty—Bai Xun!"

According to insiders, this Great Yan Knight possesses the blood of a true dragon and has a close relationship with the princess of the Yan Kingdom. Could he be the first Great Yan person to win the Knight's Championship?

It's only in an entertainment-obsessed environment like Kazimierz that someone could say something like that. If it were the Great Yan Dynasty, daring to use the blood of a true dragon as a gimmick would probably get the Imperial Guards coming to investigate.

Although Bai Xun does indeed have the true dragon blood from Chen Huijie in his body, strictly speaking, there is no problem.

I just don't know how my relationship with Chen Huijie was discovered. Did Maria accidentally let it slip while bragging at the bar, or are these paparazzi so persistent that they actually found out the truth when they were really investigating me?

Where is Wei Lao Er? Where is Wei Lao Er? These are all spies from Kazimir, aren't you going to do anything about it?

After mentally complaining about Wei Lao Er's lack of work, Bai Xun ignored the noisy chatter of Da Zui Mo Bu and the audience, and began to examine his opponent in this final.

A crimson suit of armor emerged from the shadows, standing beneath the lamplight.

The tall Minoan made no fancy moves; he stood on the field, feeling the temperature of the soil and the dampness of the air.

However, the overly bright lights annoyed him.

There was no fragrance of soil, no soft chirping of insects, no gentle evening breeze, and no starry sky.

All that exists is noise and restlessness.

De Caiopolis pulled himself back from his memories of his homeland, gripping the heavy axe in both hands as he looked at Bai Xun, his deep eyes filled with scrutiny and astonishment.

"Although I have analyzed all your match videos, actually standing in front of you still feels...very strange to me."

The Blood Knight frowned slightly, seemingly considering his words.

“You are different from the competitive knights; you have no desire for victory, no pursuit of wealth and glory.”

You are different from that Radiant Knight. She only wanted to be a lighthouse illuminating the darkness for others, but you... why have you come here?

"You talk too much, but considering this is the unholy Terra, it's not surprising."

Bai Xun slammed his fist in annoyance. Even after so many years of transmigration, he was still somewhat unaccustomed to the customs of this unholy Terra region.

No matter what you do, the other person will always start by spouting a long, ambiguous string of lines.

Fortunately, this minotaur was just a bit talkative, unlike some lynx spirits who were all riddles.

It's not too annoying.

Considering that this Blood Knight was different from himself, a fake knight, but a noble being worthy of the name of knight, Bai Xun unusually showed a good attitude in the arena.

"I have said it many times: we should uphold the good and punish the evil without hesitation."

Without asking how this answer had anything to do with the knightly arena, the Blood Knight simply nodded, then slowly raised his giant axe and pointed it at Bai Xun.

"Blood Knight...that's the title they gave me based on my Originium Arts."

But I've heard that your abilities are somewhat similar to mine; it's just a pity I haven't had the chance to fight you before.

"Many people say that you are more suitable for the title of Blood Knight than I am. I have always had a slight doubt as to whether you are really stronger than me."

Now it seems the opportunity has arrived!

Before the words were even finished, the giant axe, shrouded in blood, crashed down with overwhelming force, and two blood-red blades materialized at the same moment, closing in on Bai Xun.

The jet-black straight sword parried the giant axe's slash, and crimson blood tentacles lashed out from Bai Xun's back, knocking the blood blade away and easily neutralizing the Blood Knight's fierce attack.

With a slight exertion of his arms, Bai Xun forced the Blood Knight back. Looking at the tall, blood-soaked minotaur, Bai Xun thought for a moment, then surprisingly put away his Jizo Soul, crossed his arms, and laughed.

"Heh heh, it seems to be the same type of Originium Arts as mine."

"Then let me show you my Originium Arts."

Instead of displaying overwhelming power to end the match directly, Bai Xun refrained from using many of his powers and relied solely on his Originium Arts to fight his opponent.

"Blood donation!"

The scalding blood was splashed out by Bai Xun and burst into flames in mid-air, causing the Blood Knight's expression to darken suddenly.

They immediately took countermeasures.

"Blood returns to my body, and filth is returned to me."

Accompanied by Minos' ancient sacrificial incantation, a huge pool of blood, almost occupying half of the arena, suddenly appeared, and the boiling blood turned into countless viscous threads that wrapped around Bai Xun.

But all Bai Xun could do was shake his head and smile dismissively.

"Thanks for the Blood Pool donation, bro!"

As the Blood Knight suddenly realized something, Bai Xun's crimson eyes blazed with blood-red light. The blood threads that were originally aimed at him not only failed to wrap around him and bind his body, but also failed to create an opportunity for the Blood Knight to attack.

Instead, they fluttered and danced around him as if in worship.

"The Sun Knight chose to lay down his weapon, but the Blood Knight's trap also failed. Compared to close combat, is the Sun Knight actually more skilled in Originium Arts?"

He's a sorcerer?!

"Who are you calling a warlock?!"

Bai Xun couldn't help but glare fiercely at Mobu with his big mouth, while the Blood Knight seized the opportunity and charged forward with his giant axe.

The high-speed charge of a two-meter-tall, fully armored giant is no less impressive than that of a dump truck pulling a full load of steel coils, leaving a huge dent in the ground with every step.

But when he stepped into the blood pool he had summoned, the once calm pool suddenly churned, and viscous blood tentacles continuously formed, slamming onto the blood knight from all directions.

It forcibly stopped his charge, leaving him trapped in the pool of blood, his limbs entangled by blood tentacles, making it difficult for him to break free.

But what Bai Xun found hard to look at was that, under his subconscious control, these bloody tentacles had learned the turtle (*) binding technique that Horhaiya had used on Bai Jin that day, wrapping around the burly man's body in a way that looked incredibly awkward.

"How can it be!"

The blood pool summoned by the Minos incantation was instead controlled by the opponent. How could a true dragon whose main skills are light and fire also have such strong control over blood?

unless...

"Don't say it! Don't say it!"

Bai Xun interrupted the Blood Knight before he could blurt out his answer, but this also confirmed the other party's guess.

With white hair and blood-red eyes, and the Originium Arts that control blood, this guy is clearly a Blood Demon!
