Despite the already emotional speech from Void Archive, Otto accompanied Kallen to give Francis a brief report.
However, Otto and Kallen hid the fact that God was right beside them.
After all, Otto was very afraid that if Tian Shi showed his face, the already severely injured head of the Kaslana family would faint from the shock.
It is not too late to talk about it later.
"Speaking of which, when you told Kallen: 'Sometimes things that don't look good aren't necessarily bad,' you were actually hoping Kallen would choose one of the other two, weren't you?" Otto asked thoughtfully.
"So, why didn't you say it more directly?"
"I'm afraid that if they force this child to eat it, she will be kicked out immediately."
Francis sighed, leaning back in bed and looking at Kallen, who was full of questions.
As a father, he was convinced that his daughter had never heard of this incident.
"If you want to eat those two dishes, you should know what is going on... After all, a normal person wouldn't choose them."
"Although they represent the legacy of wisdom, if someone chooses them without knowing the truth... in a sense, that person is already disconnected from wisdom, isn't she?"
"No doubt."
Otto reflected for a moment and nodded.
Although she was sure she could detect the strangeness if she cooked, after all, the difference between the three dishes was so great that it was obvious something was wrong.
But at Kallen's description of "black mass" and "green mass," Otto felt that perhaps she wouldn't have the courage to take a bite.
It certainly takes the courage of a hero to make that decision.
"(Eh... it's not the best way to put it, but maybe I should try Mobius's cooking.)"
Void Archive seems to have recovered a bit.
"(Dr. MEI's cooking would definitely kill someone, but Mobius's cooking shouldn't kill anyone: talent 1 should be greater than talent 0.)"
"..." Otto didn't think there was much difference.
Let's leave this topic here.
She had no desire to discuss this kind of matter with Void Archive before dinner.
"If there is nothing else, I take my leave, Uncle Francis."
"Alright, alright, take care on your journey."
Otto felt that now, inexplicably, she was becoming too involved with the Kaslana family.
After all, she even knew about the Kaslana family's best-kept secrets.
Unexpectedly, Otto had a bad feeling.
"Then I'll go back too."
Nagamitsu knew from her expression that she thought the same as Otto.
"I'll keep what happened today to myself."
"Me too."
...
Today, unusually, Otto returned home through the front door.
"You're back, Otto?"
Her own father, Nicholas Apocalypse, was waiting for her in the living room.
Moreover, it seems they were waiting for her deliberately, which is extremely rare.
However, Otto was not too surprised by this: she found that she seemed to have expected it from the beginning.
"Yes, Father." Otto, as always, showed seven parts fear and three parts cowardliness.
"You went out to play today with the youngest Kaslana daughter, didn't you?"
Although Nicholas, sitting in the chair, showed signs of aging, he still possessed a fierce and powerful aura.
"Have you seen your Uncle Francis?"
"I saw him."
"Hmm... Your Uncle Francis is severely injured this time and may not survive."
"..." Otto remained silent, not knowing for a moment what her father was trying to achieve by saying all that.
"In your opinion, what kind of person is the youngest daughter of the Kaslana family?"
Nicholas asked calmly.
"Great wisdom appears as foolishness," Otto replied after a moment's thought.
It was a bit against her conscience, but it wasn't entirely wrong.
"Great wisdom looks like madness... a good evaluation."
The Overseer, already showing signs of aging, stroked his beard.
"Otto, you can spend more time with the Kaslana family these days."
"If necessary, you can even stay overnight."
"Father...?"
Although Otto had already understood something vaguely, her face still showed surprise.
"There are some things you can't get involved in right now, so don't ask any more questions."
Nicholas refused to say anything else.
"Alright, if there is nothing else, go back."
"Yes." Otto nodded respectfully and turned to leave.
However, Otto deliberately slowed her pace as she walked out the door.
She vaguely heard words like "parliament... majesty... collapse... eastern expedition."
...
Four years have passed since Kallen received her inheritance.
In these four years, many important events have occurred throughout Schicksal.
For example, Kallen succeeded her father as captain of the Schicksal Valkyrie squad, and Schicksal granted her the Oath of Judah.
For example... her older brother Ferdinand died unexpectedly, leaving the position of heir to the Apocalypse family vacant overnight.
For example, when the Black Death broke out, people infected with the disease turned into zombies in a short period of time.
The disease spread throughout Europe in just a few months.
For example... Schicksal's Eastern Expedition.
The devastation that has plagued Europe in recent years has allowed Schicksal to legitimately extend its influence to several European countries.
Driven by ambition and various considerations, the current Overseer of Schicksal, Nicholas Apocalypse, has decided to organize an Expedition to the East.
"At the current rate, Schicksal's army must have already gathered in great numbers and is preparing to march, right?"
Otto chuckled as she played with the syringe in her hand.
"I must admit, I still admire my father."
"Despite the recent loss of her older brother, Ferdinand, my father carried out the plan for the Eastern Expedition without delay."
"His willpower is truly terrifying."
"(You're not bad either, Miss.)"
Over the course of four years, Void Archive witnessed Otto's growth firsthand and was deeply impressed.
She is a genius.
Although she only received formal education at thirteen, she has already become a great scientist.
That's right, in Void Archive's eyes, Otto is now considered a great scientist with vast knowledge.
Furthermore, Otto, who is now eighteen, has become increasingly composed.
The only drawback... well, it's that she is still very flat.
However, Void Archive didn't dare say it; if she did, Otto would truly lose her temper.
"Cough... cough cough... please, please save me..."
Beside her, the girl in the hospital bed coughed and groaned in pain.
That's right, Otto is currently trying to find a cure for the Black Death.
"Don't move."
Otto held down the girl lying in the bed.
At the same time, she inserted the syringe needle into the girl's body.
Otto pushed the syringe to inject all the purple liquid into the girl's body.
"Cough! Cough, cough, cough...!" The girl coughed even more violently than before.
"(Miss, will your drastic treatment kill this young lady?)"
"(It can't be that bad... right?)"
This is knowledge Otto sought for a long time in Void Archive before finding it.
"(However, due to the lack of experimental data, the situation regarding death...)"
Suddenly, Otto felt sweat on her forehead.
This situation is not impossible.
But if this really happened, wouldn't it make God think I am incompetent?
"(If we can collect enough experimental data...)"
No!
Collecting data means I have failed, and it is absolutely unacceptable to show such a shameful state in front of God!
If Tian Shi hadn't been with Otto, she might have chosen to learn from her failures.
However, thanks to his support, Otto felt forced to increase the probability of the potion's success.
"Gah!" The girl lying on the bed arched her body in pain.
The next moment, she began to gasp for air.
"Sigh... sigh..."
Otto frowned as she looked at the pained face of the girl in the bed.
However, the girl's breathing eased considerably after a while, and she showed a look of surprise.
"Eh... no, it doesn't hurt anymore?"
The girl looked at her hands, which were now covered in white calluses, with a sense of bewilderment.
The girl's gaunt face, ravaged by disease, now revealed a look of surprise.
"I... am I cured?"
"(It seems it's not just a matter of being cured.)"
Suddenly, Void Archive spoke.
"(I swear, Miss, the dose you just injected was definitely too much, but this little girl didn't die.)"
"(Since she survived the Honkai disease, her body will most likely develop some resistance to the Honkai...)"
Valkyrie?
Suddenly, Otto had this idea; a peculiar thought appeared in her mind.
"Congratulations, Otto, you did it."
Looking at the gaunt girl who had already sat up, Tian Shi was also happy for Otto.
"You have defeated the Black Death."
"Tha-thank you... thank you for saving me."
A look of sincere gratitude appeared on the girl's gaunt face.
"No, all of this is a blessing from God."
Otto did not accept the thanks and instead attributed all the credit to Tian Shi.
Her Kaslana family was raised by those two women named Dr. MEI and Mobius as a family of followers of God.
How could Otto settle for second place?
She also wants to give God an entire army of followers!
Moreover, she was not someone like Kaslana, whom people only knew by name but never saw. But a true follower who was genuinely bathed in the glory of God!
"...?" Tian Shi was surprised by Otto's line of thought.
"(You really are something...)" Void Archive suddenly understood Otto's thinking. But she made no comment on this line of thought.
"My Lord God?"
The gaunt-looking girl also showed a confused expression.
"Is it... is it God?"
As a commoner of the Middle Ages, the girl actually had a certain degree of faith.
"No, it is me."
"!" The gaunt-looking girl was startled to hear a helpless voice echoing in the air.
"This, this..."
Looking at the girl in front of him who might be calling him "God" again, Tian Shi felt that his current style might be a bit out of place.
...
"Eleanor, from today on I grant you the surname Schariac, and from today on you are a member of the Schariac family."
The next day, Otto addressed the kneeling, gaunt girl as if she were a knight in shining armor.
From today on, her name will be Eleanor Schariac.
"(Is it really worth trading the credit for the drug's development for this surname?)"
Why isn't it worth it? Otto looked at Eleanor, who had stood up and whose face, though still gaunt, now radiated a new light.
She was quite satisfied.
"(Don't you think the surname representing the saint is a good match?)"
"..." Void Archive was left speechless in response.
Tian Shi looked at Eleanor in front of him and felt a little strange.
Although she wasn't a true Schariac by blood, she left a significant mark on history.
Yes, many people mistakenly believe that the Schariac's abilities were granted by Otto, and that Eleanor was the ancestor of the Schariac family.
But in reality... just because a person has two legs doesn't mean a person with two legs is a human.
The same applies to the Schariac family.
Eleanor is the adopted daughter of Otto's mother, Sabrese Schariac.
In reality, this is a tactic used by the Schariac family to win the hearts of the people.
Since even the weakest Valkyries are still incredibly valuable these days.
If this were a fantasy novel, where a genius is chosen by a powerful clan and adopted, it wouldn't be out of place at all.
As a family that inherits the Abyss Flower, although the Schariac family has gone through hard times, they are not so poor that they depend on an adopted daughter to continue the bloodline.
In fact, Eleanor from the original timeline, as Otto's number one follower, could not have offspring.
In other words, Eleanor and the future Cecilia are not related by blood.
But then again, the Schariac surname... The three main families have interesting origins.
The Apocalypse family is known for its wisdom, and its coat of arms features an eye.
This aligns with the eye motif in Su's divine wisdom inscription.
Kaslana inherited its lineage from Kevin.
The stigma is simply an extremely high resistance to Honkai energy.
Its primary purpose is to connect with Kevin, receive revelation, and awaken the inherited power.
Schariac, on the other hand, inherited her family's stigmata.
Unlike the Kaslana family's direct approach, Schariac's manipulation of Honkai energy was quite elaborate.
But that's not the point.
The key point is that the Schariac family's crest is a flower pattern on a spear shaft.
Coincidentally, Elysia's inscription is a flower with more angular features.
Elysia is also the original wielder of the Abyss Flower.
Furthermore, stigmata originate from the power of Honkai.
For example, Seele's stigmata even contain the will of the Herrscher of Death.
The origin of the Schariac family's stigmata is quite interesting.
Originally Tian Shi was planning to enter Elysia's simulation, and now it seems like a great coincidence.
No, it cannot be considered a coincidence.
If God really wanted him to deepen his connection with the Schariac family Stigmata, then his simulated host this time should not be Otto, but Cecilia.
However, taking this opportunity to get in touch with the Schariac family of the Middle Ages doesn't seem like a bad idea.
But then again... isn't it too early to meet Eleanor now?
"My Lord God."
Otto's voice brought Tian Shi back to reality.
"Next, could you teach Eleanor martial arts?"
"Of course, what kind of weapon would you like her to learn?"
"Hmm... how about a spear?"
