Xingtie: My mission master joins the chat group.

This happened far too quickly.

The Lawbringer shouted:

"Don't think I didn't notice. You can hide your thoughts, but they can't!"

Even without consciously reading, the instinct of a Herrscher of Knowledge allows her to know the thoughts of those around her.

"Take a hit from me!"

"Thank you, but I won't eat it."

Lin Mao disappeared from the spot, and the attack of the Herrscher of Knowledge missed.

Kiana turned her head and complained, "I feel like the way they talk is a bit abnormal."

Raiden Mei didn't know what to say, and gave an awkward smile.

Bronya said expressionlessly, "They're doing smut."

Lin Mao and the Herrscher of Knowledge have both disappeared, and no one knows what they went off to do.

Himeko felt an urge to facepalm when she thought about how the reliable Fu Hua had turned out to be the unreliable Herrscher of Knowledge.

In terms of strength, the Herrscher of Knowledge might indeed be stronger than Fu Hua at present.

However, in terms of reliability, not even one out of ten Law Masters of Consciousness might be as reliable as Fu Hua.

"We also know how she got in here, and where she took the real Fu Hua."

Himeko shook her head slightly, thinking that with Fu Hua's abilities, she shouldn't suffer too much.

His gaze swept over Kiana and the other two, lingering on Kiana and Raiden Mei for a moment, before Wendy's image reappeared in his mind.

I couldn't help but mutter to myself.

Is St. Freya still the place to fight against the Honkai? Why are there so many Honkai Apostles—Herrschers—increasing in number?

I remember there was a Herrscher of Ice stationed on Coral Island.

The First Lawrence, the Lawrence of Reason, belongs to humankind.

The Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void, now also belongs to humanity.

The Third Herrscher - Herrscher of Thunder... The Fourth Herrscher - Herrscher of Wind... The Fifth Herrscher - Herrscher of Ice...

They all belong to humanity, and the Herrschers stand on the side of humanity.

'If I were to collapse, I'd like to smash my head against a wall and die.'

Himeko smiled and shook her head, her gaze falling on Kiana. "Go change into your diving suit and send a message to the Herrscher of Consciousness, telling her to catch up with us later."

Given the strength of those who understand the laws, this matter should not be difficult.

"It's Aunt Himeko."

Kiana jogged into the changing room.

Himeko's eyes twitched violently. "Himeko...Auntie?"

Am I already an auntie at only thirty?

"This little bastard!"

Himeko cursed under her breath, making no attempt to hide her concern about age, and turned to look at the smiling Raiden Mei and the expressionless Bronya.

Do you also think of me as an auntie?

When he said this, his eyes revealed hostility, as if anyone who dared to admit it was prepared to face their doom.

Raiden Mei's lips twitched. Who would dare admit to this?

pat!

"Mei! Help me! I'm the class monitor!"

The Herald of Knowledge leaped out of the void, covered in dust and dirt, and reached out towards Raiden Mei. Sensing the movement coming from the void, he rushed towards Raiden Mei using both hands and feet.

Lin Mao appeared from the void, carrying the three weapons of the Herrscher of Consciousness: a spear, a sword, and a chain blade, plus a hoe to store them.

From their high spirits before their disappearance to their current disheveled state, with all their weapons taken away.

Only a few minutes had passed.

"No, this doesn't make sense, it's completely illogical! How can the difference be so huge? They're both Herrschers of Knowledge... but you're not a Herrscher at all!"

The Herald muttered to himself for a long time, then turned his attention to Lin Mao, saying that this guy was not a Herald at all!

Which lawyer looks like this?

Lin Mao's lips curled into a forty-five-degree smile as he stored the three weapons inside the hoe, tossed it to the Herrscher of Knowledge, crossed his arms, and shouted:

"Just practice more cooking!"

Himeko originally thought it would take a while for the two to decide the winner.

Unexpectedly, the results came out so quickly.

"However, since the treasure is here, Jiuyou should be safe. I..."

"Don't!"

Kiana, wearing a diving suit, rushed out and stopped Lin Mao from going back to slack off. She had gone to great lengths to get Lin Mao over, and she couldn't let him go back.

"It's safer to go together!"

"What if there's some ancient monster that's lived for thousands of years hiding inside?"

Kiana shouted.

More importantly, Lin Mao went back to slack off, while she had to go out of her way to search for some ancient ruins, which made her feel resentful.

Lin Mao looked at her and shrugged. "Fine."

Anyway, I have nothing to do when I get back, so I might as well follow Kiana and see what's going on.

The Herald of Knowledge returned to his usual appearance and leaned closer. "Didn't you say you could do divination? Let's see what's down in the Nine Netherworlds."

Lin Mao glanced at her sideways and pretended to count on his fingers, "Ancestor Ji Lin of Shenzhou."

The Herrscher of Knowledge, who had originally wanted to see Lin Mao make a fool of himself, gasped.

"No way, you actually know how?!"

She always thought Lin Mao was faking it!

As for the reactions of others, they were merely playing along with his act.

And you're telling me his divinations were all true?!

The Lawbringer of Knowledge firmly believes and is certain that very, very, very few people in this world know about Ji Lin's affairs.

To be precise, apart from her and the old antique, no one knows anything about Ji Lin in the Nine Netherworlds.

As a result, Lin Mao pinched his fingers and blurted it out.

Lin Mao snorted, "Do you think I'm bluffing? Don't you know that my original title was 'The Oracle Who Can Predict Five Hundred Years Before and Five Hundred Years After'?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana turned to look at him, asking curiously, "Did you have this title before?"

"There's none?"

Lin Mao asked a question in return, and Kiana thought about it but couldn't come up with an answer.

What happened to Ji Lin?

Kiana didn't tell you?

Lin Mao looked at Ji Zi, who had asked him, and explained, "To put it simply, the Nine Nether Ruins you are going to are inside a super-giant Honkai Beast. It is currently sealed, and the person who sealed it is Ji Lin, also known as Ji Xuanyuan, a person from Shenzhou thousands of years ago."

"Huh?" Raiden Mei exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that very dangerous?"

Kiana chimed in, "That's why I called Lin Mao! With him here, we can treat it as a vacation."

Himeko looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge and Lin Mao, "With two Herrschers protecting me, this is probably the easiest mission I've ever done."

"And there's the matter of the Holy Marks."

The Lawbringer felt he should say something, otherwise Lin Mao would steal all the limelight.

"Ji Lin is a born Saint Mark holder, so the Saint Mark you're looking for is unsurprisingly on her, but..."

The Herald of Knowledge paused, shrugged, and said, "Several thousand years have passed. You'd better not have too much hope. Ji Lin and her Holy Mark may have already disappeared."

"That's not necessarily true."

Lin Mao interjected, and the Herrscher of Knowledge's eyelids twitched, "You don't mean to say that Ji Lin lived inside Chi You's belly for five thousand years, do you?"

Looking back at Lin Mao, I saw that his gaze was focused on something in front of him, as if there was something there.

[Ding! Request detected...]

"?"

Who's so kind as to help me find work?
