Chapter 541 The So-called Warrior
"His mental will is not as strong as he thinks, but I think you might have a lot to talk about with him."
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a certain Manfred slumped on the ground, leaning against the wall, his tattered clothes making him look even shabbier.
"Hey, he's a warrior, right? Are you sure he's not some noble?"
Manfred's face is still very attractive, with gray hair, gray pupils, and a slightly melancholy temperament, there is nothing to say about it.
So it was not a problem for Bianca to suspect that he was a noble. Li Ming spread his hands and said, "If I am correct, he should not be a noble. His salary may not even be as high as yours!"
"Sorry, Valkyrie doesn't count benefits as salary." Bianca just shook her head, and Li Ming just raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? Then I need to think more about how much betrothal gifts I should prepare when I marry Ji Zi."
"You and Senior Jizi haven't gotten married yet?" Bianca was a little surprised when she said this. Although Jizi and Li Ming both looked quite young, even so, since Ragnar's death, Jizi went to the French branch as a guide half a year later. It was also known that Jizi should be about 23 or 24 years old at this time. Based on this speculation, Li Ming should be older.
"Do you think Tianming is so busy that we have the time?"
These words made Bianca stunned. She had never thought about these questions. It could only be said that there were no such problems, so she had never considered them.
"Okay, I asked you to deal with him, not me! If you are worried about this kind of problem in the future, you can follow the British tradition. I think Rita is also good!"
Li Ming pushed Bianca and said, "I believe you. Use your mouth to convince him!"
"I..." Although Bianca had such a plan before, but for some reason, after being instructed by Li Ming, she had no motivation at all. Besides, Rita was also a good name!
But she still walked to Manfred's side and took out the Leviathan jerky that she was almost tired of eating. "Here, you must be hungry after drifting for so long. Do you need something to eat? Whale jerky, it should barely be considered a whale!"
While Bianca was still wondering what species Leviathan was, Manfred rejected Bianca's kindness without even looking at it, "Thank you, I'm full!"
"Hey, you haven't even eaten anything, how come you're full? You know, this is whale jerky, which is rich in nutritional value. It's high in calories, fat, and protein!"
Bianca gritted her teeth after being rejected. This guy was too decadent. He had a similar temperament to Ji Zi when she first came to the French branch.
"I mean!" Manfred looked up and his voice became weaker unconsciously, "...I just have no appetite!"
"Ha, you were almost skin and bones when we rescued you. Are you trying to say that you rely on the northwest wind to fill your stomach every day, or this inexhaustible sea water? Who would believe such nonsense!"
"...What do you know, little girl!" When facing Bianca, Manfred put away his melancholy a little. After all, it was too embarrassing to be despised by such a young girl.
"You haven't even introduced yourself, and yet you're discriminating against other people's age?"
Bianca lowered her eyes and said sarcastically, "It seems that I cleaned my face so well for nothing."
"...Manfred Albrecht von Richthofen, pilot, commander of the 1st German Fighter Wing."
Manfred stretched out his hand, and Bianca placed the dried whale in his hand. "Bianca Atajina, Valkyrie, captain of the Undying Blade Squad, is now the adjutant of the Lonely Panthalassa Special Expedition Team. The person you just met outside is our commander."
"【Destiny】and【Valkyrie】? What mythological era have I entered? It really is a world that has nothing to do with me!"
Bianca's words made Manfred even more depressed, and Bianca elbowed him in the head, "Hey, now that you're here, make the best of it. I'm not a native of this world, and now I can only stay on this ship. Hurry up and eat. With your current body functions, you'll be dead if you don't eat."
"..." Manfred was silent for a while, then looked at the whale jerky in his hand. "My comrades, in the past 53 days, we have no water to drink, no fish to catch, and have to rely on eating raw seaweed and small shrimps and insects to survive. At the worst time, we could only..."
Manfred paused, and Bianca naturally knew what he meant. In addition to daily training and fighting, the Valkyrie training also includes other courses, and survival in the wild is no exception. In the absence of water and food, it is hard to say what people will do.
"None of them gave up, but... I was the only one who survived as the captain of the squadron." Manfred was obviously more concerned about the fact that he had survived like this and could not do anything. "I know that anyone who can survive is lucky. Now I can eat these things, and they..."
Seeing Manfred's painful and numb expression, Bianca couldn't help but curl her lips, but when she thought of how Li Ming often did this, she suppressed her smile unnaturally. "Tsk, what a troublesome man. Let me put it another way! This is just a larger creature in the sea, and what you have in your hand is just the dried meat we made for easy processing. It's no different from the seaweed, fish and shrimp you mentioned."
After sighing, Bianca continued, "You come from a world that is at war, and our world has a situation that is more terrible than war, that is the collapse. It is a disaster, it has no feelings, and it will never stop on its own unless our civilization is completely cut off. The destruction caused by the collapse is greater and wider. It is said that I am an orphan of a certain collapse event, but I don't remember. As far as I can remember, "Bianca" has appeared in an orphanage in France, and I don't know where I came from."
"But you know, our director, Ragna, is a member of the Valkyrie Assault Troops. In fact, the so-called assault troops are the troops that face the most dangerous Honkai events. We originally thought that she would be very strict, but when she served as a volunteer counselor in our orphanage, she was unexpectedly gentle. She taught us how to plant lilies and gave us gardening lessons. It was an unforgettable time, although it was only for half a year."
When talking about Ragnar, Bianca's eyes were filled with emotion. Thinking of Ragnar's death, she spoke in a low voice, "She once taught us a poem, and this poem is also for you, [Can I compare you to summer? Of course you are more lovely and tactful. The wind will indeed destroy the buds of May, and the invitation of summer is always fleeting. Sometimes the sky's gaze is too hot, and sometimes the golden face is dim and invisible. All the beauty derived from the sunshine of youth will disappear one day. It cannot be disobeyed, or it may be bad luck or natural changes, but your summer will never fade. No one can take away your youthful vitality, and the god of death cannot boast that you live in his haze.]"
"Your legend lives on in immortal poems. As long as there are people alive and able to witness it, this hymn will be passed down and give you life!" Shakespeare walked in, clapping his hands. "Thank you for your praise. I never thought my poems would be so popular. I really feel that my life has come back to life along with the history of mankind. Of course, I am still alive now."
Shakespeare told a bad joke and was given a cold look by Bianca, who continued, "In the summer of the following year, the lilies bloomed as usual, but she left in the winter of the previous year and disappeared into history along with the organization of the assault troops. But we have never forgotten. So, if you, who even survived to the end, gave up, then as a soldier and as the captain of their squadron, who would know your story? Focus your brain on how to "move forward", Captain Manfred!"
Having said this, Bianca did not say anything else. She just looked at Manfred with his head down, thinking.
