Having become an ordinary knight, I recorded everything I saw and heard, and provided many methods to restrain the knights, which I personally handed over to Grand Master Falgar.
If I had to say who I trust most in the entire Knights of Favonius, it would be Jean, and the person I admire most would be Grand Master Falgar. He single-handedly held up Mondstadt, which was on the verge of collapse. Only he truly understands me, and I have high hopes for him.
The following day, I received a written order personally approved by Grand Master Falgar, expelling me from the Knights of Favonius and stripping me of my knighthood.
That day, my God's Eye completely lost its light.
Honkai Impact 3rd Serpent Solo Fan: Chapter 64 Small Goal
Mondstadt, a free city-state located in the northeastern part of the Teyvat continent. Amidst mountains and vast plains, the free winds, carrying the scent of dandelions, sweep across Cider Lake, bringing the blessings and favors of Barbatos, the god of wind, to the city of Mondstadt situated on an island in the lake.
It's been so long since I last visited Mondstadt. I don't think I've ever been there before. Before I turned fifteen, I was trained among the Gunnhilds, and after joining the Knights of Honour, my life revolved around the same routine of home, work, and home.
Now that I am no longer a knight, let me see what Mondstadt, which I protect, truly looks like.
I walked past the Great Faith of the West, where the choir of nuns echoed with their faith in Barbatos; I beheld the colossal statue, where bards sang praises of Barbatos' greatness; I climbed the steps of the windmill, where the blades swayed in the breeze, bringing a soothing melody to Mondstadt.
The citizens have freedom, they laugh heartily at will, the aroma of alcohol permeates every corner of the city—how free, how wonderful, how... disgusting.
I must be sick, otherwise Mondstadt would seem so repulsive to me.
He curses a passing blue-haired girl with the most vicious language, orders a girl dressed as a maid with an arrogant attitude, and has no sense of being the one being protected; he runs taverns all over the city, reveling day and night and drinking heavily. Is this freedom?
I can't stand the way my family behaves, I can't stand the inaction of the Knights of Favonius, I can't stand the infantile nature of Mondstadt, and the abnormal laziness that is called the yearning for freedom.
Mondstadt, in my eyes, is like a rotten, withered tree imprisoned by freedom. Too many termites and inactive birds and beasts just get by, relying only on a few green plants for support. Without the awareness to make a decisive move, it will eventually rot and fall completely one day.
I am utterly disappointed in Mondstadt. Fortunately, not everyone has given up on themselves. My sister Jean, Diluc, Kaeya, and other new knights have not completely lost faith in Mondstadt like I have.
I never returned to my family, and it seemed that they had forgotten me as well.
I became an adventurer, rented a one-bedroom apartment, and met many new friends: a chuunibyou (delusional) girl with raven feathers, an unlucky adventurer leader, a clueless alchemist...
I thought my future was to become a common citizen of Mondstadt, until I heard the news of Cripps Legenfind's death.
I stormed into the Knights' headquarters. Even though I was stripped of my knighthood, no one dared to stop me because of Gunnhildr's noble status. Then I witnessed firsthand that absurd order.
In order to uphold the honor of the Knights, the death of a hero was publicized as an "unfortunate accident".
At that moment, I didn't think about anything, but I also remembered a lot of things: my past life, the plot of Genshin Impact, the scheming and plans of the seven gods in what seemed like the journey of the Descendants to find their relatives, and the darkness and despair hidden within.
In an instant, the dim wind-attribute divine eye at his waist transformed into a deep blue ice-attribute divine eye.
Without making a sound, I left the Knights and quietly returned to the Gunnhild family's territory, where I pulled out the divine artifact sealed in the storeroom, the Ancient Oath of Freedom.
It was the special weapon that my family should have given me on my coming-of-age ceremony, and it is also part of the "Grand Movement of a Thousand Years" in the drifting wind, the sincere song of the north wind.
[Even if someone pulls out your tongue, you can still sing with your eyes; even if someone blinds you, you can still see with your ears; but if anyone dares to take away your freedom to sing and to see—then, absolutely, absolutely, cannot be forgiven.]
I stormed into the Knights' headquarters, broke through Grand Master Falgar's defenses, and in front of my sister Jean, personally killed Inspector Iroq, who had been corrupted by the Fatui, declaring that from this moment on, I would abandon the surname Gunnhildr and would no longer be a Mondstadt citizen.
No one stopped me. They all knew more or less about the inside story of the incident, but no one expected that two young men who should have been the future pillars of the Knights would choose to leave the Knights. One of them still had hope of returning, while the other completely severed his ties with Mondstadt.
Stepping out of the gates of Mondstadt, I had no idea where to go: Liyue, so similar to my homeland; Inazuma, the island nation in the sea; Sumeru, teeming with scholars; Fontaine, the romantic France; Nata, where I danced with dragons.
Ultimately, I chose to go to the winter when God had no mercy.
Let's set a small goal first: kill the 'Doctor'.
......
......
My name is Solomon, the younger brother of the current Demon King of the Demon Realm, the Death Abyss. My hidden identity is that of a reincarnated transmigrator, whose original name was Bai Zhi.
The world I live in is a very standard Western fantasy adventure world. It is a world where, in addition to humans, there are also various other races such as fairies, orcs, demons, and angels living together.
Naturally, there are also shops selling the customs of various ethnic groups here. Yes, shops selling the customs of various ethnic groups.
Legend has it that in the distant past, when gods still existed, the world was invaded. To resist the invaders, the succubi among the demon race took on the great task of building up their own army. After hundreds of years of invasion and counter-invasion wars, every surviving race contained some succubus blood, and therefore their openness to customs was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
This had a profound impact on Bai Zhi's values, at least for Bai Zhi, who possessed the memory of reincarnation.
That's right, when I learned about the past from my sister, the Death Abyss, my expression was incredibly interesting and twisted. I realized what kind of holy crap world I had been reincarnated into.
A guide to the customs of different races, this is a Western fantasy-style erotic comic that records the 'adventures' of a small team of humans, angels, elves, dwarves, and snake people.
I feel saddened by the yellow atmosphere of this world. If a normal person with sound values is reincarnated into such a world, they will either fall into depravity and become trapped in it, or resist to the end.
I, on the other hand, am the latter. Since I don't intend to be a minotaur, I've decided to remain single for life. Isn't it said that men who don't touch women before the age of thirty will become magicians? I've decided to become a magician ahead of time.
As the Demon King's younger brother, before I came of age, I spent my days buried in the Royal Library. With the blessing of my bloodline and the combination of evil attribute magic and gravity magic, in a world where many powerful beings roamed, apart from the gods, few could reliably defeat me, except for my older sister.
On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, my older sister entrusted me with the responsibility of revitalizing the Demon King's bloodline. She also summoned a group of beautiful, hourglass-shaped, and elegant female demons from the demon realm, ordering me to make her my aunt within a year.
Yes, I've seen a few of them, in the Devil's Quarters.
I resisted, but compared to the eight-meter-tall loli demon queen sister and the violent coercion of the Death Abyss, the resistance of a 1.5-meter-tall boy was as laughable as a child.
However, if I can't resist my sister, can't I resist these female demons?
So I decided to compete with my older sister for the position of Demon King, but unfortunately I was outmatched. In terms of subordinates, strength, and ideology, I was at a complete disadvantage.
Sigh, when will I be able to stand up again?
Honkai Impact 3rd Serpent Soloist: Chapter 65 An Abnormal World, Normal is Abnormal
"You don't know how lucky you are, Versailles."
Carbonis scratched his head frantically, then put his hands on Solomon's shoulders and shook them vigorously.
Why should he have to struggle to make a living, living in the smoke-filled Gobi Desert every day, and now he has to risk his life to repay the debt of saving his life, and incidentally save his stubborn best friend, while this guy was born as the younger brother of the Demon King, with no worries about money, no worries about food, and even has his own sister to help him with women.
Such a colorful life, yet he puts on a "woman stay away, don't come near me" face.
Carbonis almost shed tears of blood.
"Stop talking nonsense. The impact of soul reincarnation on us is undeniably significant. Leaving aside those who regained their memories just days after birth, including myself, Bai Zhi, who has lived in a new body for a long time, still has her values and personality as a human being, and her fervent pursuit of adventure, freedom, and the unknown, which are always etched deep in her soul."
With a cat-like gait, Eevee glanced at Carbonsis. He had once lived by human values, keeping his distance from Sadwind. Many female Eevees courted him, but he ignored them all. He set a grand goal: to gather 18 types of evolution stones, master the evolution forms of each type, and, with Arceus as his benchmark, become the next generation of Eevee, the creator god.
"Besides, everyone is Bai Zhi. If you were to be reincarnated into a world of different races, your choices and decisions would only repeat Solomon's path, making you a candidate for the Great Lord of all races who uses rebellion against customs and rejection of yellow as their election manifesto."
After finishing speaking, Kiritani grinned, unable to believe that one day he, who prided himself on rationality, would utter such strange and incoherent words.
"It's even less reliable than your sister's death and the Abyss's declaration to stop using magic." Taking a few steps back, he sat back down on the sofa, straightening his disheveled suit, and sighed, "Resisting magic and abandoning force to declare world peace might have a chance of success, but opposing Sether will make you an enemy of all races. Do you have the courage to take on the whole world alone?"
Solomon remained silent.
"The villains who declare their intention to destroy the world are easy to deal with; defeating them is enough. But the ones who declare their intention to transform the world and make it a better place are troublesome. Such beings have their own logic, denying all those who deny them, because they only believe in themselves. And you, my friend, I see the shadow of the latter in you." Cupid jumped up and patted Solomon on the shoulder, his gratitude overflowing.
He not only provided the demon's magic and increased the possibility of condensing the Seven Deadly Sins emblem, but also personally demonstrated a comparative experiment of an individual fighting the world alone.
thank you.
Solomon remained silent.
“I thought I was the most hardworking ox among us, but I never expected you to insist on showing me what a miracle it would take.” Andercher sighed, staring into Solomon’s lifeless eyes.
"Awesome, bro, awesome!" Paimon clapped in celebration. Adam sheathed his one-handed sword: "Don't let desire defeat you. You must believe that in the world of the Tauren, you can definitely find pure love... Pfft."
With the initial laughter, waves of wild laughter echoed throughout the Baizhi Space, and Solomon silently withdrew from the Baizhi Space.
He vowed that once he dealt with his sister, the Death Abyss, he would get his revenge on those bastards!
The laughter subsided, and Paimon, clutching his stomach, had to go back to face the final preparations. Suddenly, he remembered something: "Speaking of which, everyone who turned around and traveled through time had their own ailments. Adam, you and Solomon don't seem to have similar symptoms. Could it be that ailments are just a symptom that only a few of us unlucky guys have?"
"...No, if frailty refers to a different kind of abnormality, then my frailty is mostly an extreme of emotion." Adam explained his uniqueness: he either loves or hates, with no room for compromise, which is why he was abandoned by everyone and forced to leave his homeland, Mond.
"Solomon's illness was a testament to his unwavering commitment to pure love."
No one refuted Adam's statement.
In an abnormal world, maintaining normal values is itself abnormal.
It's a pity that Bai Zhi, the only one who seemed to have no symptoms of illness, lived in a world that was already abnormal.
-------------------------------------
Opening his eyes, Paimon saw two prominent mountain peaks occupying most of his field of vision, and the soft, smooth touch on the back of his head made him involuntarily shift his position a few times.
"Lord Paimon, you're awake. Would you like to rest a little longer? Rita doesn't mind~"
"No, I can handle it. You have a harder time today, dealing with Honkai Beasts along the way, assassins from Chiba Academy, and you also have to take extra care of Kiana and Mei."
Rita chuckled and patted Bai Zhi's head, then casually brushed it aside. Bai Zhi got up expressionlessly, stretched, and then pushed Rita down onto the sofa. The latter tried to struggle but was stopped by a single sentence.
"The maid must obey her master's orders, or I will enforce the family rules."
The young master raised his hand and aimed it at the maid's excellent buttocks.
"Hehe~ Lord Paimon, you've grown up~ Lord Durandal will be very pleased."
"And what about you? Even though it's a wonderful time and a beautiful view, I cherish the time we have together."
Lifting Rita's chin, the smooth feel was intoxicating. Her beautiful face was forced to lift, revealing a blush of shyness. Bai Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately let go, moved away from the sofa, and walked a few steps away from the teaching building, heading towards the aura of someone she sensed.
The key to unlocking the World Serpent's secrets lies tonight, coinciding with a full moon hanging high in the sky.
“Lord Paimon, you have a secret. When I’m with you and Lord Durandal, it’s one of the few days that Rita can truly relax. I long for more, and I hope that you won’t disappoint Lord Durandal… and that you won’t disappoint me either.”
Inside the teaching building, Rita stroked her chin, the smile on her lips fading slightly as she pondered something. The sound of footsteps mingled as Kiana and Raiden Mei quickly washed up and prepared to rest.
"Huh? Where's my cousin? Did he go out to keep watch? He didn't even wait for me. There are some things I was planning to ask him about."
“Paimon, he’s probably gone to check on the remaining zombies in the academy. Just now, Miss Rita cleared out the zombies in the corridors and some classrooms. There should be quite a few zombies in various corners and clubs. This is a necessary procedure to ensure safety at night.”
Kiana leaned closer to the window, scanning the playground but not seeing the white-haired boy. She was puzzled and curious but not worried. Bai Zhi's strength was enough to suppress her with one hand, so Kiana had no reason to worry.
After all, Kiana should be worried about her elderly father right now.
A disheveled, white-haired, one-armed middle-aged man.
Siegfried.
Honkai Impact 3rd Serpent Solo Fan: Chapter 66 Uncle and Nephew Meet
The night in the ruins of Changkong City was filled with constant noise. The clearing of the assassins and Honkai Beasts was not even in the first stage. It was extremely dangerous for ordinary people to walk around. However, Bai Zhi was completely unaware of this. She strolled away from Qianyu Academy and followed the aura she sensed, her hands never stopping.
"Elemental power has been converted into pure Honkai energy. The sword techniques of the Knights of Favonius, the travel guide of the adventurer, and the power sharing of that guy Adam are barely acceptable. But Solomon, the dark magic indicated the total amount of Honkai energy. Just the synchronization of gravity magic with the control of gravity alone has obvious benefits for training. If Durandal finds out, I'll probably be forced to stay in the training room even during my rest time, taking my role as a tool to the next level."
Bai Zhi muttered to herself as she familiarized herself with the power shared from the Bai Zhi Space. The piercing ice crystals and the raging storm of Kuang Xi condensed in her palms. The precise control of the magic power shared with Solomon even transformed the ice and storm into two elemental seals of Teyvat, although the essence of the power was still Honkai energy.
The other Angelica species did not make significant breakthroughs in their ability updates, so this sharing was useful, but not much.
A day of missing Jason.
The blessings of the Greek gods were too great for all Angelica dahurica.
Before she knew it, the route had changed from a main road to a winding alley. After turning a few corners, she threw an empty Coke can she had grabbed from a convenience store into the trash can next to her and waved to the figure at the end of the alley.
"Oh, it's been a long time, Lord Siegfried, or should I call you Uncle? Your scumbag charm in seducing Lady Cecilia is still as good as ever."
The other person had stubble on his chin, wore a blue jacket with white shoulder pads, a tan zippered undershirt, dark blue trousers, and black knee-high boots with white patterns engraved on them.
“Who are you? I don’t remember you, and judging from your age, you’re probably a little one of the same generation as my daughter, Kaslana, or Shaniat.”
Siegfried was just about to lash out at the scoundrel who was eyeing his daughter when he was stunned by the sudden recognition. He looked Kiana up and down but couldn't place her. Of course, he'd been away from Schicksal for so long; he barely knew any of the younger members of the Kaslana clan. If Kiana were still alive...
The old man's eyes held a deep, unyielding sadness.
His wife died, his biological daughter died (in his opinion), and his adopted daughter is mentally ill (the Herrscher of Sirin). Having lived to this age, he feels his life has been a failure.
He thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile.
“Paymon Schariac, a member of the current Schariac direct line. My mother is from a collateral branch of the Kaslana family. By blood, you are both my uncle and my maternal uncle.” Bai Zhi performed the standard salute of a knight of destiny. Otto took the ceremony quite seriously, although not a single word he said was true, and even the name was fake.
"Sorry, I can't remember. I leave most of the family affairs to my mother." Siegfried scratched his head, looking quite embarrassed.
“I understand. After all... your existence is an indelible stain on the family, Kaslana, and Destiny.”
Because of you, Lady Cecilia voluntarily relinquished her responsibilities as Saintess of Shaniat; because of you, the patriarch, who should have been enjoying her retirement, once again shouldered the burden of Kaslana; because of you, two families whose destinies had endured for centuries lost face, and Kaslana, which prided itself on chivalry, saw its patriarch become a wanted criminal. Could there be anything more ridiculous?
The boy's respectful attitude vanished, and his words, sharp and biting, pierced Siegfried's heart, tearing away the veil of pretense.
"Aren't you curious about the reason why the rumor that you touched the buttocks of all the Valkyries in Schicksal has spread so widely?"
"That was a rumor spread by Shigure Kira... Wait, you know it's a rumor?" Siegfried, who was vehemently refuting the rumor, suddenly froze. Not only had this rumor brought his family status to its lowest point, but Cecilia had also ignored him for several days. So now the truth of the rumor has been revealed? That's great.
"No, no, no, you've got it wrong." The old man's expression shifted so dramatically from astonishment to relief that Bai Zhi broke the silence to avoid giving him false hope: "From beginning to end, everyone except you and a few others knew this was a rumor."
Siegfried, the Kaslana's candidate for chieftain, is someone everyone agrees is irresponsible, but no one would believe he has character flaws. Just think about it: if Siegfried were to grope every Valkyrie of Destiny, the first person to teach him a lesson wouldn't be Cecilia, but the entire Kaslana clan.
