A completely unfamiliar name and entity appeared amidst the flames.

Emerging from the flames was not any race known to Marna, but a unique Terran who appeared to have no distinguishing features. Her red hair flowed down her shoulders, and she wielded a giant sword. The flames, powerful enough to incinerate heaven and earth, had forged her armor and blade.

The being referred to by Bai Xun as the Herrscher of Flame slowly raised the greatsword. The terrifying pressure caused Marna's pupils to shrink instantly, and he pushed his sword and light to their limits.

He unleashed the most powerful strike he had ever delivered since wielding the sword, almost replacing the sky and bathing the surrounding area in a golden glow reminiscent of the afterglow of a setting sun.

But the golden light began to boil and burn, proclaiming that this world had already belonged to another, more powerful authority.

The authority belongs to Yan.

Bai Xun walked past the Herrscher of Flame, who was molded from Himeko's body, and lightly touched the golden sword light that rippled in front of him with the tip of his sword.

This caused the already peaked golden light to shatter completely, transforming into countless fireflies that filled the entire garden.

"A great battle. Even I felt my heart race."

Upon hearing Bai Xun's comments, the defeated Marner revealed a smile that was mostly one of helplessness and self-deprecation.

"What is this? Knightly humility?"

I'm so sorry I didn't make you go all out.

"Don't underestimate yourself, Laoma. You are the strongest opponent I have ever encountered in Terra."

Bai Xun waved his hand to dismiss his triple War Gods and said seriously.

"You are indeed very strong, but my strength surpasses yours."

Summoning the Triple War God also takes a toll on Bai Xun's current abilities, mainly not because of the Originium Arts, but because of the drain on Zi Shu.

The Dragon Talisman can offset the consumption of physical strength and magic power to a certain extent, but the Rat Talisman in Bai Xun's hand requires additional consumption of his life force once it is used, just like summoning the bionic teardrop.

In other words, he is a noble blood demon and a dragon stitched together, with a long enough health bar, otherwise summoning these three war gods would have been enough to burn his health bar to zero.

Especially the third Herrscher of Flame, the Herrscher of Flame that Bai Xun created with her current strength is even stronger than the pseudo Herrscher of Flame that Otto created by inserting the Plague Gem into the Blank Key, and the consumption of energy is naturally also extremely exaggerated.

I need to go back and suck some blood from the cute fat snake.

Bai Xun thought to himself.

Although the fat snake didn't sign any contract of servitude with him, it has to be said that Horhaya was truly his most perfect pet.

You can ride it during the day and at night. When you're not hungry, you can drink milk; when you're hungry, you can drink blood. It can also handle various other matters.

"Sensei! sensei!"

Maria, overjoyed at Bai Xun's victory, skipped and jumped over. Her unwavering jubilation made Marna, who was using his sword to support his body after exhausting all his strength, twitch slightly at the corner of his mouth.

If Maria is the most precious crystal, then he is the tusk tower before the crystal.

Now that the nexus tower has been destroyed, its own crystals have run straight to the enemy's fountain without saying a word, leaving the nexus tower in a very awkward position.

As for Zofia...

She no longer cared about the outcome of Bai Xun and Marna's fight. After their battle finally ended, she slowly walked into the ravaged garden, her voice trembling as she looked at the scorched and broken earth.

"My garden o(╥﹏╥)o My garden"

It's only because she's reserved enough, otherwise she probably would have started rolling around on the spot and crying her heart out the next second.

"Uncle, Sensei won, which means I can participate in the Knights' Tournament, right?"

The little pony turned its head to look at Marna, who stood solemnly with his sword in hand, and blinked its bright eyes expectantly.

But instead of directly responding to Maria's expectations, Marna looked at Bai Xun behind her with a serious expression.

"Your power... is so great that I feel you don't belong to this world."

Why...have you come here?

Looking at Marna, who was making a serious snow leopard-like roar, Bai Xun couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

This woman is so mean, damn it! Not only is she trying to steal our ex-husband's god-like status, but she's even stealing his lines!

Although I've also borrowed quite a few of SilverAsh's lines myself.

During Bai Xun's brief moment of silence, Maria excitedly rushed to answer for him.

“I know, I know. Sensei is here to participate in the Knights' Tournament, win the championship, and then return to Lungmen to slap Governor Wei Yanwu in the face at the three-year agreement. He'll show him what it means to ‘change your fortunes over time, and never underestimate a young man’s potential.’ He'll also make his ex-fiancée, Princess Dayan, regret her scorn and stage a dramatic ‘chasing after her husband’ scenario!”

Maria, who was extremely excited, recounted the history of Bai Xun by piecing together scenes from some knight novels she had read, which made Marna's expression quite strange.

What's this about the Governor of Longmen and the Princess of Dayan?

Is Bai Xun really from a prominent noble family in the Great Yan Dynasty? Otherwise, how could his fiancée be a princess of the Great Yan Dynasty?

"Ahem, don't listen to this little pony's historical speculation."

Although Bai Xun enjoys creating his own history, he still feels somewhat embarrassed when he sees others taking his history and reworking it into even wilder versions.

After gently stroking the pony's soft, golden hair to calm her down, she straightened her back and, with an expression as resolute as a long-time vegetarian, stated her true purpose for coming to Kazimierz.

"I'm here to end the Business Federation!"

"Ok?"

The completely unexpected answer caused Marna's expression to freeze instantly, while Maria looked up at Sensei, whose expression remained firm, with a face full of confusion.

"Sensei, didn't you come here to be a competitive knight and participate in the knightly competition? Now that the Commercial Federation is gone, how are you going to become the champion and go back to Lungmen to slap them in the face?"

"I have never felt happy being a racing rider."

Bai Xun slowly shook his head and whispered under Xiao Ma's questioning gaze,

"Maria, have you forgotten what I told you?"

Upholding justice and punishing evil is my duty... and as a Sun Knight, the greatest evil I encountered in Kazimierz was the Commercial Guild.

Under Marna's scrutinizing and astonished gaze, Bai Xun's voice was mournful, filled with the deepest sigh for this land full of bitterness and darkness.

"I began my westward journey from the Great Yan Dynasty, passing through many countries, each with its own suffering, but the suffering of Kazimir..."

In this land of knights, I could hardly find a single knight in sight.

What people call knightly competition is nothing more than a game of capital, a gambler's carnival. The entire Kazimierz region is being alienated and distorted by capital.

While ending the Business Federation cannot directly save Qazimir, it can at least change many things and pull this nation back from the brink of ruin.

"I admit you're very strong."

Bai Xun's words made Marner ponder for a long time. The hostility and wariness in her eyes towards Bai Xun lessened considerably, replaced by helplessness and regret.

"But as I said before, individual bravery cannot stop the decline of the times. You may be able to demolish the high-rise building of the Business Federation, but you cannot kill people's desire for money, nor can you end the alienated knightly competition."

You can't do anything.

Are you giving me a buff here?

Bai Xun shrugged and smiled.

"This is the strength code for Honkai Impact 3rd, it won't work in our Terra region."

And I don't understand the idea that individual bravery can't stop the decline of an era. What if I could single-handedly defeat the entire Kazimierz region?

In the past, Marna would have simply scoffed at Bai Xun's arrogance.

But after his battle with Bai Xun, he looked at the confident and flamboyant young man in front of him and didn't think he was joking.

If it were him, perhaps he truly possessed the power to burn the entire Kazimierz.

"You may have the power to burn the entire Kazimierz, but such salvation would be no different from destruction."

The people of this country have been oppressed to the limit and cannot withstand any more devastation.

In response to Marna's sigh, Bai Xun spoke earnestly.

"This country is already at rock bottom; every step it takes is upwards."

Kazimir drove the chariot called capital all the way to the abyss of desire and destruction, and Kazimir only had one chance to revive.

If we cannot save this fallen kingdom of knights, then let it burn!

In the silence of Marner, Bai Xun walked up to him, patted the tall man on the shoulder, and laughed freely.

"Wake up, Marnna! Let's burn this city to ashes!"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Marna thought his passion had cooled after being utterly disappointed in Kazimierz, but Bai Xun's words reignited the anger he had suppressed for ten years, making his eyes shine with the brilliance of the sun once more.

“I told you, I’m here to end the Business Federation.”

Bai Xun looked at the man beside her whose eyes had reignited with fire, "Of course, I also need your little bit of help."

I am a raging fire, a blazing sun that will eventually rise, knowing only destruction and burning.

After the ugliness has been burned away and completely destroyed, how to rebuild order from the ruins is not something I need to consider. However, I think with the reputation of the Rinko family, they can at least find some suitable people to handle the aftermath.

Kazimir is not sailing towards the abyss, but has already fallen into it.

Bai Xun's words made Marnna re-examine this country that had utterly disappointed her and her father.

The kingdom, now shrouded in darkness, cannot contain the light, nor can it contain the father, nor the brother, nor the dazzling brilliance of Margaret.

Because they are so dazzling that they scorch the termites writhing and crawling in the darkness.

These parasites are relentlessly devouring this increasingly corrupt country, and a single ray of light cannot change anything.

But if it were a truly blazing sun...

He looked at the dazzling white-haired youth beside him, who was as radiant as the sun, and finally nodded slowly.

Perhaps, the time for light to break through the long night has come.

My friend's book

Chapter 129 Maria: I want to dance with your horse. Platinum: Ugh, kill me 4k

"I never expected my uncle to be so amazing."

In the living room on the second floor of Zofia's house, Maria sat on the sofa, her hands supporting her cheeks, her mind still replaying the powerful battle between Bai Xun and Manna.

After having some discussions with Bai Xun that she didn't quite understand, Marna went back to the company and it seemed like she was going to take a long leave, which surprised Maria quite a bit.

After all, in her memory, Marna was a super hard worker who had hardly ever taken a day off in the past seven years.

Although the surprise of this event certainly doesn't compare to discovering that Marner is actually a hidden master.

"My uncle has the ability to win the championship, yet he looks down on knightly competitions so much. Clearly, if he had participated, the Linguang family would not have fallen into poverty... I don't understand."

Little Maria shook her head in confusion.

This caused Bai Xun, who was standing by the French windows, to turn her gaze away from the garden below.

In the garden that had become ruins, a certain aunt was pacing back and forth with her head down, just like a small island crow.

However, speaking of Raven's Island, due to its own reasons, the deviation of the Honkai Impact 3rd world line is quite large. Kiana's awakening did not trigger a global collapse, so Raven's Island should still be fine now.

Tsk, that won't do. How can a raven that doesn't explode on a small island be considered a raven?

It seems I need to become a world plot corrector and find a way to blow up Raven's Island. Then I can secretly record her pacing, rolling around, and crying in a three-part sequence and make it into a stigmata so that she can be remembered for generations.

With a subtle smile, Bai Xun put aside his wandering thoughts and turned to look at the puzzled little horse, explaining,

“What disappointed Marna was not just the knightly competition or a few individuals, but the entire existing system of Kazimierz.”

The Business Federation was undoubtedly the ringleader, but the Knights Association, the Supervisory Council, and even the National Assembly were not entirely clean either; otherwise, your sister wouldn't have been exiled on such charges.

The system and rules of Kazimierz are corrupt. No matter how dazzling or how much one struggles within these corrupt rules, it is all in vain unless the system can be overthrown, and most importantly…”

At this point, Bai Xun paused slightly, reaching out to stroke the pony's soft golden hair, a gentle smile appearing on his lips.

“If Marna truly follows her heart and fights against anger, then who will raise you?”

He didn't choose to endure it for his own sake, but for yours and Margaret's.

Marner was a great man; he wanted to shoulder all the burdens and patiently cared for the two daughters left behind by his brother.

However, he is also a very nagging person, and he doesn't say many things out loud, which leads to some misunderstandings about him from both Margaret in the past and Maria now.
