Chapter 107: To the Void
The Void Peak, like a sword rising into the clouds, piercing and steep.
The peaks and clouds were harmonious, with the sky clearing after the rain. A long mountain path staircase extended into the misty heights, a marvel of nature and an air of enchantment.
"Hmmmm… Quite a nice scenery, It truly deserves to be the dwelling place of the Red Kite Immortal."
Sigurd surveyed the surrounding scenery, expressing his admiration.
Indeed, it was beautiful, but the focus was not here; it was on the special force field enveloping the entire mountain range.
On one hand, it seemed to carry functions related to "Feather Down." Those with insufficient Honkai energy levels and control would have their mind being subtly suggested upon entering, unable to find the real mountain gate. Subconsciously, they would want to leave, and after leaving, they wouldn't notice anything amiss.
On the other hand, the unique multiple-signal mixed force field effectively confused mechanical constructs, especially remote control and observation devices. Essentially, there would be no way for them to see the true scene inside the mountain.
The advanced technological capabilities of the civilization from the previous era were evident through this mountain range.
Sigurd had tried dispatching drones to investigate and had even assigned members of the Anti-Entropy in the Chinese region to visit, but they found nothing unusual.
However, after exhausting various methods and failing to find any traces of Suhua, he had to turn his attention back to Tai Xu Mountain, which he had suspected from the beginning. Coming here personally, he discovered the secret.
"Uaaa~ I smell something delicious over there. Sigurd, let's go check it out please~"
Kiana tugged at Sigurd's sleeve, attempting to walk in the direction down the mountain.
Sigurd stood still like a mountain, but Kiana didn't sense anything wrong and instead increased her strength, steadfastly heading towards the food.
Sigurd turned his head, raised his hand, and pressed it against Kiana's head.
Black substance spread from the black ring on her thigh, quickly forming a set of black armor that covered her body from the neck down.
Then, Kiana paused, blinked, and suddenly turned towards Sigurd with a confused look.
"Huh? It seems like… I can't smell it anymore..."
Bang!
Sigurd tapped her forehead, the force slightly stronger than usual—fortunately, this was Sigurd. For an ordinary person, it would have been impossible to achieve such precise control of force immediately after a fusion experiment.
"Ouch!"
"Looks like you're awake now."
"What do you mean by 'awake'?"
"You were just subjected to psychological suggestion."
"Huh?"
Kiana rubbed her forehead, looking bewildered, not understanding his high-level word.
Sigurd took the first step and ascended the staircase.
Kiana quickly follows right behind him,, still not understanding what is happening, but doesn't want to look bad in front of Sigurd.
"Um, I was just not prepared. I was careless for a moment. Look, I'm fine now!"
Kiana spoke with an air of seriousness, but Sigurd glanced at her.
"No, you are awake thanks to the black armor. Don't believe me? Try taking it off."
"No way! This mountain clearly has something weird about it. I have to maintain the best condition to protect you!"
Kiana spoke confidently, and incidentally, she pressed the touch switch on her neck, raising her helmet.
Her entire face was covered by the black armor, with only her eyes visible through the light blue eye mask. She managed to conceal her embarrassment.
Sigurd shook his head.
"You want trotect me? You should first master the abilities of the Herrscher of the Void and take control of her six cores, then you can try to 'protect' me."
In fact, the reason for bringing Kiana was simply that it had been a long time since they went out together like this. Sigurd decided to bring her along to relax a bit. That was all.
"You go ahead, I'll follow. Leave everything to this lady!"
Kiana stood with her hands on her hips, appearing confident, but her true intention was to let the reliable Sigurd take the lead and face any potential danger.
Sigurd couldn't be bothered to expose this foolish girl and continued walking ahead.
However, the staircase was indeed quite long, and after a while, the bored Kiana couldn't help but strike up a conversation.
"Sigurd, who is this Red Kite Immortal? Why are we looking for her?"
"Red Kite Immortal, a fusion warrior who has guarded Shenzhou for thousands of years, a survivor of the civilization from the previous era. Now, she is Otto's partner, cooperating with him to exchange her allegiance for the protection of Shenzhou. She is powerful, even with repeated severe injuries and amnesia, she can easily defeat ordinary Herrscher of this era."
Sigurd glanced faintly at this heavily armored stupid tuna.
In fact, Fu Hua can not only defeat a normal Herrscher of this Era, but she can even defeat the Herrscher Sirin who are empowered by 6 Herrscher cores.
He continued, "I am looking for her because she possesses the 'Divine Melody' , a technology discovered by the previous civilization. It allows direct control of Honkai energy with special musical notes. After centuries of exploration, Red Kite Immortal has evolved it into a unique martial art passed down through generations in Shenzhou. It gives ordinary people the possibility to wield Honkai energy. I think these techniques could be very helpful to us. If possible, I also want to try recruiting her and then curing her, gaining a top-tier combatant for our cause."
"Oh—"
Kiana nodded earnestly, pretending to fully understand.
"Got it, in any case, we're not here to fight."
She removed her helmet, returning to Sigurd's side.
"You are surprisingly straightforward. Is it because there's no danger that your courage has returned?"
"Uh— So what if it is!"
"You shamelessly admitted it."
"Anyway, it's just the two of us, and you won't dislike me. Right, Sigurd?"
"No, I do dislike you."
"Hehe! I don't believe you!"
With thick skin and a good self-esteem, Kiana suddenly pounced onto Sigurd's back, hugging his neck, and coquettishly said, "Sigurd, I'm tired of walking. Carry me~"
"Get down, you're heavy."
"Shouldn't be, the black armor is obviously quite light."
"I'm not talking about the armor; I'm talking about you. Haven't you noticed you've gained weight again?"
"I've gained weight in the right places; it's no big deal. You'll understand later."
"Do you believe I'll make you roll down the stairs directly from the mountain?"
Sigurd rolled his eyes, taking one step at a time without stopping.
Meanwhile, Kiana continued to laugh carefreely, sticking to Sigurd's face, laughing like a little kitten that just got a hold of some fish snacks.
She knew that Sigurd might talk tough, but in reality, his hands were holding her securely to prevent her from slipping off his back!
"Sigurd!"
"Hmm?"
"I'm hungry. Did you bring any snacks?"
"You really are a troublesome pain bringer. There's chocolate in the pocket of my jacket; grab it yourself."
Kiana then pulled out the chocolate, tore open the wrapper, and munched on it, replenishing her sugar levels.
Whether it was due to the good brand or psychological effect, she felt that the chocolate was very sweet. Sweet to the point that her whole being was melting, and she could only softly press against Sigurd's back, listening to the powerful heartbeat in her ears. Her face felt a bit warm for some reason.
"Do you want some?"
"No."
"Really not? It's very sweet! Plus, it has the taste of this beautiful girl in it! This is a treat, a treat! Don't you understand?"
Kiana shook the chocolate, playfully smiling, as she claimed that the chocolate she took a bite of was indeed a treat.
Today's Kiana remained as self-confident as ever.
"If you keep babbling, I'll throw you down the mountain."
Sigurd wore a stern expression and warned darkly.
Kiana stuck her tongue out, no longer teasing Sigurd, silently enjoying her chocolate.
Gradually, the mist cleared, and the stairs reached their end, revealing a broad, bright platform in front of the two.
