Chapter 590
"Dan Heng, get into position!"
"Didn't I teach you beforehand?" ×2
Dan Heng stared blankly at the two faces, which were filled with expectation and foolishness, completely wasting the charm of the beautiful girls. He closed his eyes and sighed wearily.
"I'm sorry, being born a dragon... I simply cannot accept being human."
"What? Didn't you also receive pocket money from Lady Ninti?"
"That's right, how can you take the money and not do the job? Do you even qualify as Nameless?"
Xing and March 7th naturally refuted this, and then huddled together pointing at Dan Heng.
"Well..."
Dan Heng sighed again.
I feel that I am twice as tired as when I was with March 7th, or even more.
Perhaps he should have tried to vote against it when Little Gray got on the bus, at least put up a fight? Even if the outcome might not have changed, at least he could have the psychological comfort of "I tried my best"?
"Hahaha! Alright, stop making things difficult for Dan Heng."
The easygoing Welt stepped in with a smile to smooth things over.
He didn't think anything was wrong.
Being able to hold Ninti's hand and explore an unfamiliar Ninti together was such a dreamlike experience that he felt every snowflake around him was beautiful.
Then, Welt's expression turned serious. He took Ninti's hand and said to the three of them:
"Do you still remember the three rules you made with Himeko before you set off?"
Ninti is a member of the Genius Club, and her every move could cause a stir in the entire interstellar society. A slight misstep could bring unbearable consequences to the local civilization.
Therefore, for the sake of the locals, and so that you can fully experience the pioneering journey— Ninti and I will part ways with you, acting as observers and offering support only when necessary. You must rely on your own strength to explore, connect with the people of this world, and solve the problems here. Understand?
In fact, this is not just a one-time thing; it should be said that this will be a long-term policy for the Trailblaze Crew.
Weak civilizations cannot bear the gifts of genius, for greedy monsters will soon be drawn to them, and anything can happen. Powerful civilizations, on the other hand, will likely cherish and honor Ninti, but will certainly not allow an outsider Emanator roam freely on their territory.
This meant that Ninti would be an observer for most of the journey.
March 7th crossed his arms and said nonchalantly:
"I know, Uncle Yang! You don't need to repeat yourself. I'm not stupid!"
"Lord Ninti, I am unable to serve you any longer! But I will prepare local specialties for you!"
Xing gave a thumbs up, his teeth reflecting a clean, healthy glow.
Then the two "followers" exchanged a glance, acted in unison, and snatched Ninti from Welt's hands:
"It's such a shame we can't travel together anymore!"
"Yeah, yeah, what a pity! Hehehe!"
The two of them nestled Ninti's small head between their chests, stroking and nuzzling it, trying to replenish Ninti's energy as much as possible before parting.
Ninti: "(o'?`o)~~"
Finally, Welt, holding Ninti's hand, Dan Heng, dragging the other two by their collars, forced them to part ways.
"Dan Heng, they are too lively, you have to be more tolerant of them."
"It's alright, it's just that it doubled in March. Mr. Welt, please take good care of Ninti."
"Of course!"
The mature and reliable adults said their goodbyes, turned around, and went in different directions.
Ninti pulled Welt's hand and said:
"Joachim, am I okay with this? Can I even be considered a Trail Blazer like this?"
"Haha! The first Stargazer Train was personally led by the Star God Achiwill, Emanator naturally participated as well, so of course there's no problem! Whether you're Emanator or not doesn't matter; just enjoy the pioneering journey in the way that suits you best!"
"Um."
Ninti nodded gently.
It's clear that Welt is in a great mood right now.
Although Ninti would prefer to wander around by herself and cooperate with the local Anqi's script, considering the old man's feelings... well, at least she'll spend more time with him this time.
"Speaking of which, what is this?"
Welt suddenly stopped, holding Ninti's hand with one hand and pointing the other at a snowdrift by the roadside that seemed to have a strange presence.
"Phew~~"
A strong wind swept by, revealing a tuft of unruly blue fur fluttering in the wind beneath the snowdrift.
Welt touched his chin.
"Is that a person?"
"Uh... thank you both for your help. I am Sampo Koski. It is an honor to meet this gentleman and your lovely daughter."
"Ha! Isn't my daughter super cute?"
Welt instantly realized that the guy who crawled out of the snowdrift was not suspicious at all, and that he had good judgment.
Just as Welt was about to have a good chat with this fellow countryman, Arillo-VI, Ninti frowned and tugged at his clothes.
"Ninti, what's wrong?"
"The Follower of Joy, the Masked Fool, is a strange man. Joachim must not play with him."
"Um?"
Welt immediately became serious.
He instinctively believed Ninti at first. Then reason told him that Ninti was indeed stronger than him, and he should trust Ninti.
Sampo, his hand-rubbing motion gone, and said with a humble smile:
"Um, you two..."
"The Masked Fool".
"Old Sampo thinks you must have misunderstood something, right?"
"Do you intend to lie to the Emanator of the Vessel of Knowledge?"
Ninti raised her finger and pointed it at Sampo in a gesture that said, "There is only one truth."
'I've been kept in the dark for too long; the Genius Club has a new member? Oh no, this is an unexpected deus ex machina, a major taboo in scriptwriting! I should have contacted the other group of guests first!'
To fully immerse himself in the script, one cannot wield excessive power, so Sampo left his mask outside and didn't pay much attention to interstellar information. Therefore, he is currently in a state of panic.
Ninti, holding Welt's hand, walked past the stiff Sampo without looking back.
"Ninti, shouldn't we just leave it at that?"
"It's alright. We made an agreement with Himeko that we can't act rashly. We can leave it to Dan Heng and the others."
"That's true. But you're really amazing; you saw right through him— the Masked Fool!"
"No, Ninti only saw that he was Follower of Joy. As for the Masked Fool, she just tried to trick him, but she didn't expect him to guess right."
Ninti rubbed her nose smugly.
Sampo, already stiff all over, became even stiffer in the wind and snow.
