It's unclear what Welt said to the others, but he simply left on his own. "A true hero, fearless in the face of death," Gallagher remarked.
"Even if the Dream Master is innocent, the corruption within the Family is deeply entrenched. Mikhail made a mistake once, and I won't make it again. Wish her luck..." "Mr. Gallagher, is there anything else you want to say to us?" Himeko asked, looking at Gallagher.
"Why do you think that?" Gallagher's words held a hidden meaning. "Before we left, the Conductor asked us to inquire about the three Nameless in Penacony. Now we know about Ms. Lazarina and Mr. Tiernan, only the last one, ' Lagwork, ' is missing." Himeko paused, then continued:
"If I'm not mistaken... we've already seen him, haven't we?" "Hmph... it's not quite accurate to say we've seen him, but the answer is indeed easy to guess. My previous hints were obvious enough." Gallagher's voice held a hint of regret.
"Ever since receiving the Astral Express's reply, I've been following your news, including the immense efforts you've made to connect the various realms. And now, you've arrived here safely, proving your strength."
Gallagher changed the subject, turning to Himeko: " Himeko, was it you who repaired the train, allowing it to run through the galaxy again?" "Yes," Himeko readily admitted. "And these three young, Nameless... have mysterious backgrounds and possess extraordinary skills."
"Mr. Gallagher, you flatter me. However, I am currently just a temporary Nameless." Yan Bai cupped his hands somewhat embarrassedly. "Thank you for the compliment." Qiong scratched his head. "My background... I don't know yet, but this young lady does indeed possess extraordinary skills!" March 7th replied somewhat rashly.
"Heh, so energetic. As for that Conductor named Pom-Pom... please give him my regards. His friends always reminisce about the train journeys after the train has departed." Gallagher turned to his right. "That last Nameless, he set off, stopped, and set off again... going in a huge circle, only to return to the starting point in the end."
"On his deathbed, he instructed me to find the Astral Express and send the invitation to the future Nameless. For this, he prepared a gift, a true 'legacy'... belonging only to the descendants of the ' Trailblaze '."
"Come with me." Gallagher's voice was tinged with disappointment, yet also with relief. "Now... it's time for it to see the light of day again." With that, he walked towards the nameless monument, and the others followed him.
"Back here again..." March 7th murmured with emotion. "Old friend, sometimes I forget you're dead, it's as if you still had so much to say, so many roads left untraveled." Gallagher gazed at the blank monument, tears welling in his eyes.
"Now, I've kept my promise and brought the descendants you've worried about your whole life. I don't know why you could never forget that train, but I still remember your last words before you left this world: 'Don't let us down, old man.'"
In an instant, the ground trembled, and the entire building began to move upwards. "What's going on?!" March 7th sensed the commotion around him, while Hanxing opened the Eye of Time and stared ahead. As the commotion slowly subsided, a staircase connecting to a towering building appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Go forward, his destination is in the garden ahead. Penacony's first and last Nameless— " The Watchmaker, Lagwork Charles Mikhail." The group climbed the long staircase step by step until they reached the last step.
Beneath the surface of the sea in the Memory Zone, in the garden closest to the full moon reflected in the water, an old man reclines silently in an armchair. "So, the ' Watchmaker ' was the last Nameless..." Yan Bai's voice held a hint of respect. "His legacy was a dream bubble; I suspect it contains something that only the Nameless could truly understand."
"After all, when I checked the contents, I found nothing inside... It's probably some kind of ' Trailblaze ' cipher, even more mysterious than me." "Then let's take a look." Yan Bai suggested, glancing at Qiong beside him. The latter took a deep breath, looked at " The Watchmaker," and then reached out and gently touched the Dream Bubble.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Qiong seemed to have achieved nothing. His brows furrowed, and he squatted down again, pressing his forehead against the dream bubble. After several attempts, Qiong finally stood up and shook his head helplessly.
"Really... it's empty?" Hanxing looked at Qiong, who had stood up. "How could this be?" March 7th asked doubtfully. "Hmph, rather than saying, it really is like this," Gallagher sighed.
"He always had an inexplicable confidence in the Nameless. In his plans, ' Trailblaze ' always had a place, and I don't know where this confidence came from... He never managed to contact the train while he was alive. I've never understood what this old man was thinking, but this empty dream bubble really does have his style, filled with nonsensical fantasies... and an incomprehensible romanticism."
"Old rascal... I never expected him to leave any tricks up his sleeve," Gallagher said with a hint of self-deprecation. "No, Mr. Gallagher, I think Mikhail will definitely leave us his most precious possessions," Himeko said earnestly.
"Heh, you're not going to start spouting some grand theories now, are you?" Gallagher chuckled with a hint of mockery. "Just as Mikhail believed in the Nameless of the future, we will unconditionally believe in the Nameless of the past. They were willing to dedicate their lives to the land they loved, so how could they leave with regrets for the future?"
"This dream bubble must have something to it, we just haven't figured it out yet, Mr. Gallagher. You're the same way when it comes to believing in the ' Watchmaker,' aren't you?"
"I'm a believer in 'mystical' Path; my philosophy of life is to disbelieve in nothing," Gallagher retorted with a touch of arrogance, but then added, "... So I also understand what 'belief' means for ' Trailblaze.' I also want to know what he left behind. Heh, it's up to you."
"..." Himeko was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "Could I borrow your pet for a moment? I need to go back to ' Golden Hour ' to check some things at the Dream Shop... for Mikhail, and for Penacony's future."
