A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

"It is speculated that they may have fallen into a strange dimension or a world bubble. Other than that, I can't think of any other possibilities."

"Then, Jackal, can you create the corresponding equipment? Let's not talk about the Gray Snake for now, but the importance of the Feathered Rabbit is self-evident."

"I can give it a try. With a treasure trove from an entire previous era at my disposal, I'll definitely find the technology to solve the problem."

230. Misterine's Lookout (Part )

Time flies quickly. Sometimes, a mind occupied by a full workload will not focus on the changes in the surrounding environment. Only the progress of the work at hand can still illustrate the changes in the world.

Not only are the things that people pay attention to changing, but there is also a butterfly effect caused by the actions of others outside of our field of vision. A slight flap of a butterfly's wings in a remote mountain area may become a tornado in the vast ocean. The changes in the world are unpredictable.

Just like for Misterlin, she didn't expect that the so-called lookout opportunity would come so quickly, just like a prisoner who had just been imprisoned for a short time and was eligible for parole after a while.

"As long as I sign this contract, I can gain the corresponding freedom?"

Misterlin didn't think there was anything wrong with what was written in the contract. She just felt that everything was happening too quickly. Was it because her research was too valuable, or was it that Sera had an extraordinarily kind heart?

"Well, Mistellin, don't underestimate this contract. If you violate it, even I will have to deal with some trouble."

It takes some trouble to mean that the cost of breach of contract is not high, but this is for Sera. If Misterine herself violates the contract, the punishment she will receive will be pain worse than death.

Sera was still very kind. She did not set up any instant death punishment. She just divided the pain into several levels based on the "Trial of Not Killing" she had accepted, and used the method of recreating the arrow of pain to restrain both parties.

The number of arrows will not be large. After all, it is a method of not killing Juejie. Sera's ability to replicate two arrows is a reflection of her special status as a trial-taker and her own wisdom.

"Hmm, I have a feeling that you, Sera, must have set some trap for me."

Mistierine blinked her pale blue eyes and lowered her head slightly to look at the girl sitting next to the table, but all she could see was a face full of innocence, as if it would be a sin to doubt her any further.

——How could such a child who is like an angel and the Holy Spirit be a big boss with a sinister heart? This contract is not an indenture, so there will be no problem.

"However, I still believe you. After all, a child like you should not have experienced the pollution of adults."

With a smile, Misterlin wrote her name on the contract. In an instant, she felt that the world had changed, as if the constraints had been lifted and the colors had become much more vivid, but what was even more eye-catching were the two arrows that existed in the dark.

It is difficult to distinguish between the real and the unreal. The deep green is not a symbol of vitality, but a carrier of something beyond human imagination, hanging high in the sky in the form of an arrow. In the moment of barely noticing, extreme pain flashes by.

Misterlin came back to her senses in a daze, and all that was reflected in her eyes was the peaceful scene of the bedroom. The girl beside her was still beautiful and dreamy, a cute thing that made people want to bully her.

"That's the price of breaking the contract."

Misterlin woke up in shock. This signing alone had broadened her horizons. A power completely different from Honkai could actually bring her such a feeling. She couldn't help but sigh, lamenting the fact that she had entered a den of thieves.

"As long as you don't violate the rules, it's fine. Anyway, this basically eliminates the possibility of you, Misterine, threatening our home."

"In other words, as a new employee, Misterine, you are already considered half a resident of the home."

"How are you? Are you happy? Here's the atlas of our home. Let me show you first. If you're interested, I'll take you around the home later."

The two copies of the contract were kept separately. Sera smiled brightly as she put away the contract. The kindness that Misterine had never seen before bloomed like a flower, and the clear female voice soothed the bitterness of seeing the arrow before.

A booklet was placed in front of her, right on the table with today's lunch, emitting an eye-catching luster. Misterlin gently opened it, and the first page she saw was a towering tree.

The paper that makes up the album cannot depict the majestic momentum that soars into the sky. It can only accommodate part of the oak tree's body and depict the vigorous vitality. The dazzling and deep green is rooted in the earth as the original vitality, climbing towards the sky along the space, so that the hanging aerial roots and the main trunk together support a new sky of deep green.

Misterine had never seen such lush trees, nor such pure life, but more importantly, she felt a distinct spirit.

——The sea embraces all rivers and tolerates everything. As long as you identify with and join in, everyone is a resident of the forest.

This broad concept inherited from the forest firmly occupies every corner of the album, making the objects depicted both realistic and spiritual, which can be called a masterpiece and dispels all the grudges in the viewer's mind.

"Is this the fundamental rule here?"

Misterine asked Sera beside her.

"Yes, although as a person I may not be as broad-minded as Tree Mom, I am also doing my best to implement it accordingly."

Sera replied, her face showing recognition and admiration for the concept of inclusiveness, which allowed Misterine to intuitively feel the girl's intentions.

Without saying much, Misterlin, who felt a little hungry, drank a sip of the slightly sweet spring water and then continued reading. In this booklet, she seemed to see a new world, in which she saw the wonderful scene of dreams turning into reality.

The atmosphere became leisurely and relaxed. In the focused mind, time passed quickly, and Sera left here when Misterine was not paying attention and went to where she should go.

Misterlin was still looking at the album, but such a small booklet could not contain too many things. It didn't take long for her to finish reading it, and her curiosity was aroused.

There are springs gushing out from the ground, a teaching temple built in the forest, an observatory bathed in starlight, a mysterious garden with connected channels, and the recently opened Forest Winery.

It was as bizarre as the stigmata space, but filled with the vitality of nature. The incredible scene seemed to have walked out of a fairy tale book, making Mistletoe feel that she might be Alice who fell into the tree hole.

Beneath her relaxed brows were a pair of peaceful blue eyes. Having made up her mind, Mistellin picked up the cutlery and began to enjoy today's lunch. After filling her empty stomach, she was even more looking forward to going out for the lookout.

I wonder what it would feel like to actually walk in it. The natural scenery is very different from the real world, the ecology is unique, and the residents are unique. Even compared to the outside world, they are already miracles.

Such a leisurely job is not bad~

231. Misterine's Lookout (Part )

After finishing lunch, feeling the energy filling up her body and the feeling of emptiness fading away, Mistlindo had a thought. Once upon a time, as a stigmata, she didn't need to obtain the motive force of life from food in this ordinary way.

There is no need to eat regularly. A person's appearance is just the form he or she approves of. If the source of his or her birth is not human, it is hard to say what the stigmata form would look like.

I walked to the bedroom door and reached out to touch the ordinary door handle. It opened with a click, as smoothly as a hot knife cutting through butter, revealing the hidden road before my eyes.

And at that moment, Misterine felt the breeze blowing. The fresh and elegant fragrance blended with the cool wind, brushing against her skin and hair, passing through the bedroom inside the door, and injecting a burst of vitality into the Azfort shelter.

The door opened.

Saw the world outside the door.

So the place where I am is built among the trees?

Stepping into the new world, all Misterlin saw was an endless expanse of emerald green. The rustling sunlight danced on every leaf that made up the ocean. The mottled and bizarre light was like millions of crystals reflecting in succession, illuminating the splendor that could only be seen on the treetops.

The beautiful woman showed a look of surprise, and her light blue eyes looked around driven by curiosity. She wanted to see the scenery on the tree, and also wanted to peek at the scenery under the tree. Her posture was purely curious, and she looked a little childish. She didn't look like a brave and resolute warrior at all.

Click.

Huh?

After hearing the sound of the door closing, Misterlin suddenly realized something was wrong. Turning back, she raised her eyebrows, because the door that should have been set on the tree suddenly turned into a spot of light and disappeared, making the originally strong and rugged tree trunk less decorated with foreign objects and more vigorous.

This is, sent directly to me?

Coming up with a possibility based on the current situation, the quirky Misterlin cleared her throat and spoke according to her own thoughts.

"If you're watching me, Sera, could you please send me a guide? I'm new here, and without the help of locals, the effectiveness of my lookout will be greatly reduced."

The woman's voice melted into the wind, and together with the soft rustling of leaves, it formed a natural rhythm that repeated itself but was difficult to repeat. Suddenly, an apologetic voice sounded from the branches of the big tree.

"Ah, I'm so sorry. I was teaching the new kids and didn't notice you coming."

"What's the view from the tree? Even the mentor and her companions sometimes come here and sit on a branch to watch the changes in the forest throughout the day."

The steady and full-bodied voice is quite similar to the image of an elderly wise man, but the self-promotional content reveals the temperament of an old naughty boy. The laughing oak tree shows a kind smile on the book body. The unique way of greeting is refreshing. Even Misterlin has a pleasant feeling of seeing something new.

"This experience is really interesting. It feels like I'm standing on a mountain top overlooking the world, but when I think about being in a tree, there's an added sense of novelty."

In response to the kind comment, Misterine smiled gently and gracefully, and her expression was particularly relaxed when dealing with Oak Bartek, as if they had been old friends for many years.

"That's fine, that's fine."

The wrinkles on the face of the tree were as dense as annual rings, but the instantaneous expansion and change was like the blooming of a flower. Baltek devoted his attention to carefully observing the outsider who had signed the contract, and could find a 30% resemblance in appearance.

Alas, why would such a human being who looks like the mentor do something that is detrimental to his homeland? Fortunately, he has now come to his senses and given up his previous evil thoughts.

"It's easy to find a guide. Someone over there happens to be free, and it's about time for you to come over now."

Baltek calculated the time very accurately. After a while, a purple-haired girl familiar to Misterine appeared on the tree with a bag of snacks. Her golden eyes seemed to glance at her casually, but she could not hide her curiosity about Misterine.

"I'll take over. Serah really knows how to order people around."

"Misterine Shaniat, right."

Having known the woman's life, Xilin tried her best to distinguish her from Cecilia, but the sense of déjà vu in her heart was still strong, making her feel complicated.

"Yes, Miss Xilin, please don't look at me like that, okay? After all, I'm not the Valkyrie you have such a deep entanglement with."

Holding up a finger as if to give an example to emphasize this fact, Misterlin, who was still smiling, didn't know that her smile was the culprit for Celine's strange look. A gentleness similar to but different from Cecilia's always triggered hallucinations in girls.

What a pity! If Cecilia were still alive and saw what Sera had created, she would definitely smile more gently than Misterine.

"Okay, then I won't waste any more time. For the next while, I'll act as your guide and take you wherever you want to go. Whether it's direct teleportation or walking, it's all fine."

"But I suggest you walk over there so you can see the real home."

From time to time, she would grab some exquisite little cookies from the snack bag and throw them into her mouth. The leisurely Xilin showed her true colors after leaving the workshop area where Sera was watching closely. In this regard, she might have to thank Misterin for making the request, otherwise she would still have to face the busy boat project.

"Well, I think walking is a good idea too, Mr. Shu. We'll talk later if we have time." Mistlin made her choice. After saying goodbye to Baltek, she told Celine her next destination. "Miss Celine, can you take me to the observatory?"

"Oh? You have good taste."

After saying something that was particularly likely to arouse people's curiosity, Xilin, who obviously knew that the observatory was special, chewed the snacks in her mouth, but did not continue to reveal the information about the observatory under Misterlin's curious eyes. Instead, she reminded her.

"The observatory is an important part of our home. We have to be careful even when eating there. Sometimes, even though the intense power of the stars can bring benefits, the process can be unpleasant."

After a brief reminder, Xilin stepped forward and grabbed Misterine's wrist. While she was puzzled, a mysterious power began to emanate.

The girl called upon the ubiquitous wind in the forest, and Mana, which was close to Sera, pushed Misterine's body in an instant, causing the two of them to enter a vertical descent.

"This light descent is not bad, right? If you want something more exciting, I can remove the wind protection."

Xilin said lightly, and Misterlin responded with a smile that said "That's not bad."

232. Misterine's Lookout (Part )

As they walked along, the green trees and vines were exceptionally clear and bright. Although the lush treetops absorbed the sunlight from the ceiling, they did not deprive the ground of its brilliance. This wonderful phenomenon touched Misterine deeply.

Xilin led the way, and as usual, she munched on snacks from time to time. However, when she met other residents begging for food, the girl was not stingy with her food. She distributed the food generously, throwing the hard biscuits into the air in an instant, making it look like a fairy scattering flowers.

Misterlin could sense the unusual wind. No matter how bold and undetailed Xilin's movements were in throwing the snacks, the subtle breeze would always blow away the disordered movement of the snacks and send them lightly into the hands of other residents, causing dragonflies to scatter and animals to howl.

As they approached the observatory, Mistlin saw large residents again. Unlike the small creatures she had seen before, big guys like bison and wild boars did not like the small snacks in Xilin's hand.

——Because if they asked for it, Xilin's snack reserves would most likely end up being desolately empty. At that time, even if the girl did not pursue it, she would inevitably look at them with a pensive look. The quiet gaze seemed harmless, but it would be uncomfortable to be stared at for too long.

"Moo."

His hair was smooth and soft, shining with a shiny luster, and his sturdy muscles were filled with a strong aura. This was an old cow that liked to hang out near the observatory. After seeing Xilin, he ran over happily. Most of his exchanges with the girl were greetings between friends, and at the end they did not forget to give each other some gifts as a sign of friendship.

The honest and persevering eyes watched the finished wooden sculpture being put into the pocket of the alien space by the other person, and the honest old cow let out a happy cry. As for Misterlin, he just didn't look at her. His direct behavior directly explained the general attitude of the current residents towards this outsider.

She ignores them, but she is not hostile either. If she wants to gain recognition, she needs to show her integration through her actions.

"Ms. Xilin is really popular with everyone."

It feels good to be a bystander, Mistlin thought in her heart. At the same time, her teasing voice was responded to by Xilin.

"It's all thanks to Sera. I don't actually have anything particularly appealing about myself."

The slow and leisurely footsteps made some crisp sounds on the ground. Perhaps the uncleaned land was filled with fallen branches from the trees. Xilin kept saying that she was useless, and she seemed to be extremely humble, but she did not hide the fact that she was enjoying it at all.

The girl likes to touch and appreciate the hairy residents, and cats are the best among them. The fluffy touch always arouses Xilin's love for beauty, making her unable to let go.

"Okay, Misterine, do you see that? That's the observatory."

After giving the hint that they had arrived at the destination, Xilin, who had lost her snack bag, stretched out her hand and pointed to the dim starry night sky. A tower shrouded in mysterious starlight stood tall, crossing the treetops and rushing towards the sky, like a sharp sword, pointing directly to the boundless sea of ​​stars.

The bright day and the silent night blended vaguely, giving people the illusion of traveling in a different world. As they got closer step by step, Misterine confirmed that her feeling was correct.

The surrounding light is indeed changing, the surrounding atmosphere is indeed expanding, and a power that touches the essence of existence and the structure of the world is spreading, forming a wonder that stands in the world.

The moon, hazy and dim, like water, embellishes the appearance of the world with its celestial body, adding a beautiful haziness. This is the gentle night.

Deep and gloomy, the darkness that devours light, in the vast darkness, gathers boundless power. At its dark foundation, a terrifying explosion is dormant. This is the terrifying starry night.

Soft on the outside, explosive on the inside, subtle transformation constitutes the way the mechanism operates. As soon as she stepped into this vicinity, Misterin, who tends to be a spiritual life, came into contact with the harmonious breath of the stars. Deep in her body, it seemed that a new power pulsation was being generated.

Huh?

Xilin looked at Misterlin who suddenly stopped beside her, with a hint of doubt on her face, because, in her perception, she did detect a wonderful spiritual fluctuation, like a spiritually inspiring ritual, unearthing the source of power buried deep in existence, and explicitly displaying the innate power of living beings.

"Sera, are you paying attention here? What's going on with Misterine?"

Xilin sent a unilateral communication request to Sera. They were like Yue and Yang, and as long as the distance between them was not too far, communication between them was very easy.
