Astral Express, Parlor Car
The leap ended with a painful cry as March 7th fell, and everyone's attention was drawn to the enormous celestial ship.
"Wow!" March 7th dusted himself off. "This is the Xianzhou? It looks even bigger Jarilo-VI!"
Among those present, Dan Heng, who was most familiar with the Xianzhou, explained, "To the Xianzhou native, this ship is their [planet]."
"The earth is an indispensable cradle for the survival and development of civilization. However, some civilizations can transcend their childhood and pilot starships to roam the void... The Xianzhou Alliance is one such example."
"I've only seen it a few times, but it's still so magnificent..."
Mentioning the Xianzhou brought back a flood of memories for Dan Heng, his voice filled with emotion.
"What's wrong with you? You look so nostalgic and lonely."
The sigh that escaped Dan Heng's lips drifted into the carriage, which made March 7th even more Curiosity.
Himeko was trying to contact the management of the Jade Gate: "This is the Astral Express, I repeat, this is the Astral Express. I have arrived in the Xianzhou's airspace and am requesting landing permission for the ground... or perhaps I should say [deck]."
The communication signal came through. "Welcome to [ Luofu ] Airport. The Jade Gate is opening. On behalf of [ Xianzhou Alliance: Luofu ], I welcome you, guests from afar. Please follow the instructions and dock in an orderly manner to prevent stampedes..."
"Huh, so smoothly? Aren't the beginnings of horror movies usually about a spaceship arriving at an empty spaceport, and then..."
"Don't overthink it." Dan Heng also wanted to complain. What the hell is this about preventing stampedes? Are they worried about traffic accidents happening in space?
Recalling the scene when Ye Yan into the car, Dan Heng felt even more strongly that this slogan was not simple, and that there must be forces other than theirs involved.
Not far away, Kafka was timing herself with a stopwatch, and whispered a compliment, "Very punctual, Silver Wolf."
"The signal is down, and they haven't said anything."
The group began preparations for their departure. Kafka wisely refrained from eavesdropping on the discussions; now that the [ Script ] had taken an unexpected turn, whatever happened was up to fate.
Oh well... since Elio didn't say anything, she doesn't need to worry about it.
Xingxian chatted with March 7th: "The second stop of the [ Trailblaze Journey], I hope it will be enjoyable for me."
"Wow~ You're pretty confident in your abilities."
"The universe is so vast, yet we happened to run into the Xianzhou that Dan Heng and Ye Yan once sailed on. It must be fate! Let's take this opportunity to go to the Xianzhou and find out more about them, shall we?"
"They seem to have a mysterious past, and we've just happened to stumble upon Luofu; we absolutely have to find out!"
"Absolutely!"
"Hehe, I knew it! When it comes to gossip, nobody can beat you! How about we rename Galactic Baseballer to Galaxy Gossip Man?"
Xing fell silent for a moment; the girl seemed to have completely forgotten that she was going down to carry out a mission.
"That's all for now, let's go pack our bags!" After watching March 7th leave, Hoshi found Himeko again:
"Now you'll get to see [ Uncle Yang's ] skills. Haha, I feel very reassured with him traveling with you."
"Don't worry, I will protect him and March 7th... and Dan Heng." After the battle with Cocolia, Xing clearly felt that his strength had made a qualitative leap.
The Galactic Baseballer, burdened with multiple Path, is invincible!
Xing thought about the Astral Express Crew, but she didn't know much about Ye Yan and Welt: "So, could you tell me more about Uncle Yang's story?"
"He rarely talks about his story. When you ask him, he'll just say he works in animation."
"Actually, it's far more complicated than that. His experiences are much more exciting than mine." Himeko kept him in suspense for now, saying that it would be more interesting for Hoshi to explore these questions himself.
Xianzhou [ Luofu ], Cloudford
Sitting atop a small hill formed by countless Mara-Struck soldiers, the [ Eternity ] Aeon once again began to contemplate the philosophy of divine life.
After several days of travel, passing between the Herta Space Station and Jarilo-VI, He finally returned here.
Along the way, he cooperated with the Knights of the Church of Eternity to clear out some of the Fragmentum Monsters, and in return, he obtained a large quantity of Church- produced soaps and laundry detergents.
"May [ Eternity ] protect you, my friend." The lead cavalryman gave Ye Yan a standard knightly salute. He could sense the surging energy within Ye Yan, combined with his performance in the battle just now...
This must be a powerful [ Eternity ] Walker, whose combat strength is no less than that of their Grand Master.
Thinking of this, the cavalry captain nudged the knight next to him.
"Ahem... My benefactor!" The silver-helmeted knight removed his helmet, revealing a slightly immature face, indicating that he was a newcomer who had recently joined the knightly order.
"Since you are already walking on the Path Eternity, why not join the Church and walk with us?"
The knights standing nearby were inwardly giving them a huge thumbs up. Well done! All those days of training were worth it!
Under the arrangement of the Church of Eternity's Knights, not only do they train for a full ten hours every day, but they also have special training courses during their rest time to hone their eloquence.
It can both promote [ Eternity ] virtues and has a chance to recruit people into the Church.
Incidentally, apart from the Grand Master, who is a legitimate [ Eternity ] Pathstrider, the other knights, including the Vice Grand Master, are just ordinary residents with rather special physical constitutions.
The fact that ordinary people can go to the battlefield is thanks to the Church's advanced yet primitive level of technology. Even today, they still fight with the most basic lances and don't even have a single long-range crossbowman.
In their words, the goal in battle is to make the enemy feel the " Eternity " of every punch landing, so they engage in close-quarters combat.
Their armor was modified using the black hole that Ye Yan had thrown, so enemy attacks would be completely absorbed and rendered useless against them.
Seeing the Church knights' enthusiasm, Ye Yan smiled with satisfaction.
"Where is your commander...? Isn't he here?"
"Ah, it seems he's been put in solitary confinement by Chair Blake..."
Snap!
The leading cavalry captain kicked the rookie knight hard in the backside.
"Don't wash your dirty linen in public! If word gets out now... how will this guest view our Church?"
Ye Yan:...
Oh well, as long as they're happy.
Returning to the present, Ye Yan declined the cavalry captain's invitation, but to express their sincerest gratitude, they gave him a large bag of Church specialties.
However, Ye Yan had no use for these things, so what to do with these local specialties became a problem.
Letting it gather dust in his bubble tea shop? That definitely won't do.
Then... how about giving it to someone who needs it? Sure!
Without further ado, Ye Yan picked up a large bag of Church specialties and, after relieving the soldiers of the symptoms known as " Mara-Struck," prepared to set off for the " Sleepless Earl " teahouse to give Mengming soap and laundry detergent.
Just as He reached an intersection, He heard a melodious voice calling to Him:
"Hey! Guy! Come help me out!"
Ah, it seems something interesting is about to happen...
