You haven't even gotten the oath of judah yet, and you're already thinking about raising a Paramecium. Aren't you getting your priorities mixed up?
Let's check on the snake from afar first.
Luo Su thought, then logged into the Chat Group.
The content in the group was much the same as usual.
Quite quiet.
After all, there weren't many people in this group, and Valon, who usually talked the most, seemed to be offline.
He wondered if Valon had been caught by Jackie Chan while trying to steal the Shadow Mask in Section 13, beaten senseless, and lost consciousness.
Luo Su mourned for Valon, then began to private message a certain green snake's memory.
"Are you there? How have you been feeling lately?"
Such fawning concern naturally received no response.
Luo Su thought for a moment, then typed out a new message.
"I heard a senior say that she knows a rather unkempt, chaotic individual who really likes pink dresses."
"She told me that if I ever met her, I should give her two, and she would be very happy."
"Hmm, she also suggested that I must buy both adult and children's sizes simultaneously."
"?"
Mobius, far away in the Golden Courtyard, slowly typed a question mark as she looked at the latest message.
"Are you very familiar with Aili Xiya?"
The green snake slowly asked.
Aili Xiya, one of the few people who could make Mobius feel a sense of closeness.
Only she would constantly talk about wanting Mobius to wear pink dresses.
"Not familiar, I've just seen some of her personal vlogs, I guess. She seems to really like showing herself to others, and by extension, showing off her friends."
The young man said.
"If you were to come out, perhaps you could watch them together."
Personal vlogs?
Were they prepared before that battle?
Mobius felt a little wistful.
Aili Xiya was a Herrscher who died before the Final Herrscher's arrival—her goal was to unite people against a common enemy, and to explore a place that perhaps only she understood.
If there were personal vlogs, they must have been filmed before that.
She didn't share them with everyone immediately, but saved them for the next era, to tell future generations that there was an organization called the Thirteen Heroes in this world?
"You have successfully made me want to go out."
The snake-like woman said.
"Tell me, how is your chosen person doing now?"
"Although I'm not interested in so-called vlogs, familiar things still have some collection value."
"Hmm, the person has already been sent to Chang Kong City. Uh, she's currently undergoing some minor adjustments. She should be usable in three days at most."
The young man blinked and said.
"I remember that World Serpent had an executive named Grey Serpent, but it seems that due to some minor conflict, he seems to have fled Chang Kong City."
"This makes things quite difficult for me."
"Oh, is that so?"
Mobius, far away in the consciousness space, frowned.
Grey Serpent.
One of her creations, or rather, a failed experiment. Because of his desire for life, her past self gave him a chance not to be completely destroyed.
Subsequently, he also began to ponder his own meaning and decided to follow in her footsteps, becoming one of World Serpent's initial executives.
She didn't expect that little guy to actually fight with someone from Schicksal?
It seemed he was badly beaten, to the point where he didn't even want to show his face?
However, that didn't matter.
"It seems there are traces of other executives in Chang Kong City."
The true Serpent Lord thought for a moment and sent Luo Su the coordinates of a bar.
"Go find her. She will take your person to complete the final transaction."
Chapter 57: I am indeed the Vessel
Raven's Bar.
Raven's Bar wasn't called Raven's Bar at first.
But after Raven became the owner, the people of World Serpent started calling it Raven's Bar.
As for what it was called before, no one cared.
Among World Serpent's many executives,
Raven was also a relatively special existence.
Most of World Serpent's executives were a bit abnormal, either obsessively searching for the meaning of this land, or constantly engaging in bizarre biochemical experiments, and some individuals were simply the will of Stigmata, not even considered human... Raven was someone in World Serpent who had normal human cognition.
To be honest, she had no feelings for her organization—after all, the people in this organization didn't really do anything humane.
However, World Serpent was genuinely rich, and Miss Raven, who was determined to buy an island villa and retire, found that the income from the mercenary market was far lower than World Serpent's. She then humiliatingly knelt under Mobius's green shorts and became her lackey.
"Receive the Lord's 'Vessel' at noon at twelve o'clock, and take him into the Elysian Realm."
Raven looked at the clock behind her.
The clock had already struck one.
It was past the transaction time.
Had the other party encountered some problem?
Miss Raven's expression showed some worry.
This mission was very important.
In World Serpent, anything related to the words 'Lord' was definitely a top-level mission, usually handled by Grey Serpent alone.
This mission also mentioned the concept of a Vessel... Without a doubt,
the next part of the story would be the Lord's resurrection.
Thinking of this, Miss Raven also became increasingly anxious.
Lord.
Most people would assume this referred to Kevin, the strongest warrior of the previous civilization, but people like her, who had followed Grey Serpent since childhood, knew that Grey Serpent's attitude towards Kevin was only respect, not "fanaticism."
The Lord he worshipped was someone else.
For such a noble existence to return now, it was quite normal for him to be obstructed along the way.
Thinking of this, Raven's expression also became increasingly solemn.
Should she go to support?
Raven couldn't help but shoulder a certain God Key with a rather bad temper, falling into a kind of dilemma.
But just then, a smell of alcohol wafted from the bar's entrance.
Who?
Raven instantly became alert.
It was mission time, so it was quite normal for an enemy to be lurking.
"Sorry, I'm late."
The door was pushed open.
It was a person who didn't seem very old, wearing both Schicksal and World Serpent emblems, with a stone like an amulet hanging around his neck.
Raven relaxed a little.
The newcomer's appearance matched the trading partner mentioned in the mission; he would bring the Lord's Vessel to World Serpent.
This guy arrived safely, so it seemed there was no need to worry about having to carry the Third God Key into battle.
"You're half an hour late."
Raven's expression was a little displeased.
For mercenaries, the more punctual, the better.
"Something came up along the way, sorry."
The young man bowed politely and explained.
"It's good that you're alright."
Raven said.
In the mercenary business, dying in the street any day was normal.
It would be very strange for the guy in front of her, as the one delivering the goods, to arrive without a drop of blood on him.
"Something almost happened."
To this, the young man nodded, a look of lingering fear on his face.
"Because I wanted to gain some seniority, I went drinking with a classmate's father. I didn't expect him to be such a heavy drinker... It was a miscalculation. I could only use my ability to degrade others' alcohol tolerance and expel alcohol with my ability... Fake drinking, I almost got caught."
Wait.
You weren't late because you were fighting robbers.
Miss Raven, who had almost always lived a life on the edge, trembled slightly, and a look of disbelief appeared in her expression as she looked at Luo Su.
"You, you were late because you were drinking, not because you were attacked?"
"Attacked?"
The young man thought for a moment, a look of confusion on his face.
"I have bodyguards."
"Maybe they encountered something, but it's highly likely they didn't get past Rita, so I don't know if I was attacked or not."
Rita, Schicksal's S-Rank Valkyrie.
Raven's body trembled again.
No, why would you, a delivery person, have an S-Rank bodyguard?!
Also, you admitted that you drank before carrying out the mission, right?
Such dereliction of duty, and with a bodyguard.
"Whose young master are you?"
Miss Raven was silent for a long time, then asked.
In all her life, this was the first time she had seen an S-Rank Valkyrie as a bodyguard.
That statement made the young man fall into thought.
"Hmm, I'm sorry, I seem to be from an ordinary family."
