Honkai Impact: You still owe me a dance

Chapter 103 The Lost City

Europe, water city, evening.

A young man was sitting at the bar of a bar, savoring the special flavor here.

In front of him were two specially prepared cocktails.

"Would you like to introduce these two glasses of wine to me first? Brother Bai Yan?"

At this time, a girl with white hair and red eyes wearing a dress sat next to the boy.

The moment this girl with white hair and red eyes appeared in the bar, almost all the drinkers had already whistled for her.

But the girl didn't even look at these people, but walked to the boy's side.

"Spritz, a cocktail made from brandy, absinthe and soda. Bellini, a cocktail made from champagne and fruit puree. Such fruit wine is usually made from peaches, strawberries and other fruit purees." Okay, this kind of taste suits you better, Bai Ling."

Bai Yan pushed Bellini to Bai Ling.

Bai Ling took one look at the wine and drank it in one gulp.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Although this kind of wine didn't have much alcoholic taste, the alcohol in it made Bai Ling cough up. Her face turned red and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Don't drink in such a hurry if you haven't had a drink before, and don't ask to meet me at the bar."

Bai Yan took a sip of Spritz and signaled the bartender to make a Bellini and a Ramos Gold Fizz at the same time.

"Okay, boss."

"What kind of wine is Ramos Goldfish?"

"This drink actually doesn't have much to say about it. It tastes pretty good, but it's mainly just tiring. This is a very classic New Orleans-style cocktail, created by Henry C. Ramos in his 1880s. Created by Bar Mel Restaurant. The original wine recipe specifies that it needs to be shaken continuously for 12 minutes to produce a perfect foam with a firm enough texture. But now it is basically not shaken for too long, and the taste varies depending on the base wine. It will be different.”

"The Ramos Gold Fizz is added with fresh cream, which makes the taste even creamier."

After Bai Yan finished the Spritz, he continued to taste the Bellini while waiting for the Ramos Golden Fizz to be served.

"tasty?"

"Bellini's fruit flavor is too strong, which results in the original acidity and fruity flavor of champagne being masked. It can only be regarded as seven or eight points."

Bai Ling couldn't understand what Bai Yan said at all, and just looked at Bai Yan drinking.

By the time the Ramos Golden Fizz was served, although it tasted good, Bai Yan gave it a low rating.

"The cream was shaken too much, and the cream used was not fresh, so the taste was terrible."

After Bai Yan paid the money, he and Bai Ling left the bar and got on the water boat, the water city's transportation vehicle.

The two of them sat on the water boat and walked down the water. Bai Yan looked at Bai Ling in front of him. The situation between the two was completely different from what he had just walked out of the bar.

"So why are you here? Is it necessary to ask me to come?"

There are many situations now. St. Freya Academy is currently training the strength of the new Valkyrie. Raiden Mei is wandering in the paradise of the past. She doesn't know how long it will take before she can reach that point.

Otto is now preparing his plan in Klosten.

As for the situation of the Herrscher of Dominance, he still doesn't know yet.

"I'm just temporarily sealing my power and just taking a look around. I'm here to tell you about the things you have planned."

Bai Ling smiled, but the next words made Bai Yan frown.

"Next, mother will start a real assessment of you in this city. I hope you are ready."

"Is it finally going to start? I thought she would wait until the final battle before starting?"

Bai Yan stretched his body slightly and looked at the moon above his head. He already understood what was going to happen next.

"So, are you ready?"

"From the moment I made the bet, I was ready."

Bai Yan looked down at his hands, he had already prepared for this.

"Isn't this bet a simple matter?"

Bai Ling stood up from the boat, and after looking at each other with Bai Yan, the two of them left the boat with just a slight click.

The next morning, Bai Yan was standing on the guardrail of the bell tower at the highest point of the water city.

"are you ready?"

Bai Ling leaned on the guardrail, tilting his head and looking at Bai Yan.

"The battle has begun."

When Bai Yan finished speaking, Bai Ling smiled and disappeared.

The entire area of Shuidu was shrouded in black mist, and Bai Yan looked at Shuidu with a wry smile.

"Perhaps...if she knew that I used this method to get her back, I would definitely be beaten by her."

Bai Yan rubbed his shoulders and looked at the water city that was gradually being completely shrouded in black mist. He was still hesitant about whether such a bet was really appropriate.

"But...for her, just like what Kevin said, I am willing to pay any price to defeat Honkai, and I am also willing to pay any price for her return."

Bai Yan slowly raised his hand, and a thunder from the sky struck the bell tower behind Bai Yan.

As the entire water was shrouded in black mist, the entire water seemed to have lost its voice, leaving only silence.

The moment this place was shrouded in black fog, all organizations in the world discovered this situation.

There is no communication method that can contact Water City, and even the Honkai energy in the center of Water City is still rising.

World Snake, Tianming and Anti-Entropy all sent people to the water city at the same time.

World Serpent sent Yutu, Destiny sent Youlandel and Immortal Blade, and Anti-Entropy sent Seele and Tesla.

But when the three parties arrived at the Water City at different times, they found that the Water City had completely disappeared from the map.

The world snake party that arrived first:

Yutu: "Since the water has disappeared and there is nothing left to investigate, let's go and rest first."

Yutu then ran away, leaving only Gray Snake, who had accompanied her, to start investigating.

Tianming Fang arrived a day late:

Youlandel: "The Immortal Blade belongs to investigate around the water city to see if there is any specific situation. Let me know as soon as possible."

Then Youlandel also left, leaving the members of the Immortal Blade team who had just completed special training here to investigate, with Arvette in charge.

The latest anti-entropy party arrived, even three days later than Tianming:

Tesla: "Since Destiny and World Snake are here, let's go back."

Then she took Xier back.

None of the three parties know what happened to Water City. Now the entire city has disappeared. Even Honkai Energy had almost reached the state of Herrscher, but now there is no Honkai Energy left at all. .

Now everything has disappeared. Even though Gray Snake and Immortal Blade have been collecting information for more than a week, the result is still nothing.

But during this week, Kiana and Bronya on the Anti-Entropy side didn't know these things. Now the two of them were purchasing supplies with Xi'er in a city far away from the Anti-Entropy headquarters.

"So, sister Kiana, do you like sweets that much?"

Xi'er looked at Kiana, who had already eaten her fourth parfait. This was the first time she had seen someone with Kiana's appetite.

"Xier, why don't you eat?"

Bronya looked at Xi'er and looked at the parfait in front of her. She hadn't taken the spoon yet. Even Bronya had eaten half of the parfait and a portion of ice cream.

"Sister Bronya, is it really okay for us to use Brother Bai Yan's money like this?"

It's not that Xi'er doesn't want to eat, she just simply feels that the cards Kiana swiped today seem to be Bai Yan's cards.

"It's okay. This was originally given to me by Brother Bai Yan. I checked it and there is no upper limit on how much it can be spent, so you can spend it however you want."

But for this point, Kiana didn't care much. Anyway, Bai Yan spent money on her, so naturally there was no big problem.

"Xie'er, don't worry about these things, just eat them well."

At Bronya's signal, Xi'er still had a good meal.

"Ok."

Xier still finished the parfait in front of her, but when she finished, Kiana finished two more cups.

"Sister Kiana, why do you eat so much?"

Seeing the empty cup in front of Kiana, Xier was a little stunned.

"Because eating sweets makes me happy."

“When the human body eats sweets, it is because sweets can stimulate the brain to release dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter. When the brain feels the excitement brought by this substance, it will release more dopamine, making people feel happy. and pleasure. But dopamine neurons are also activated, and when the brain feels the high from the substance, it craves it more, making the person feel happy again."

Bronya explained appropriately, and then looked at Kiana.

"But before coming out this time, Principal Theresa told Bronya not to let Kiana eat too many desserts."

Listening to Bronya's words, Kiana looked at Bronya subconsciously.

"Bronya, will you betray me?"

Kiana held Bronya pitifully, trying to keep her secret.

"Sorry, Bronya's video has been sent to Principal Theresa."

Bronya has sent the video of Kiana eating to Theresa.

"Bronya! You don't play like this! Xi'er, look at your sister Bronya!"

Kiana pointed at Bronya, and she severely condemned her behavior.

"I'm sorry, this is a task given to Bronya by Brother Bai Yan. He is responsible for supervising Kiana, and the reward is limited to Homu."

Bronya gave Kiana a thumbs up, and the heavily armored rabbit behind her also gave a thumbs up.

Looking at Bronya's (? ? ?) expression, Kiana ran to a corner in despair and drew circles.
