"Back to the [ The Hunt ], that's why I had to lure you here. I need you to have direct contact with General Luofu and help them resolve the Stellaron chaos, so the Alliance will owe you a favor."
"In this way... in the very future, at the most crucial moment, the Xianzhou will lend you a helping hand."
"How about that? Surprised? The infamous Stellaron Hunters did all that just to make you a hero of the Xianzhou. Who would have thought this would Script?"
Even Kafka herself was surprised when she first encountered the Script.
What is that future?
"I said: Elio didn't tell me the crucial information. The future is full of possibilities, and knowing the right thing at the wrong time could render all our long-term efforts futile."
"Regarding the future, I can only tell you one thing: in the best and worst of the future, you will eventually face Nanook, the [ Destruction ]. At that time, you will need all the help, because it will be a brutal battle belonging to the level of the Aeon."
Kafka looked at Ye Yan, realizing that simply by accompanying the Astral Express on its Trailblaze, he could influence Elio's prophecy...
Moreover, Kafka always felt that Ye Yan was not the only Aeon involved; there might also be [ Elation ] Aha, otherwise it wouldn't make sense for the people in the Tavern to appear in Jarilo-VI.
"That's a level that neither you, I, Astral Express can reach. In most futures, fate ends at that moment. But if we follow Elio's [ Script ], there will eventually be a glimmer of hope."
"Did you know... even a [ Aeon ] can be killed?"
On the other side of Luofu, since arriving at Cloudford yesterday and coincidentally rescuing the blonde merchant and the Cloud Knights girl, Fulisina has unknowingly joined their party.
The journey had been too smooth. After asking the Cloud Knights guarding the area, Sushang learned that the Abominations of Abundance and Fragmentum Monsters roaming nearby had been wiped out by the Knights together.
"Is the [ Eternity ] Knights... an organization similar to the Knight of Beauty Order?" Luocha looked at Fulisina was the person most closely associated with [ Eternity ] present.
"No, it's a guard force spontaneously organized by the Church of Eternity to ensure the safety of Church residents."
Luocha pondered, hearing what she said... it seemed the Knights' combat strength wasn't very high.
Seemingly sensing Luocha's thoughts, Fulisina rubbed a small black hole. "This is it."
"What is that?" Sushang leaned closer.
"The [ Eternity ] device, capable of absorbing a certain number of attacks, is applied to each knight's armor, sufficient to protect their safety."
"Ah, then that means I won't get hurt no matter how much I fight?" Sushang understood.
"Is that so..." Luocha remained deep in thought, seemingly now understanding the Church Knights' fighting style.
He takes full damage, but his armor is maxed out, so he can just go head-to-head with the enemy! That's a bit overpowered.
Then, Sushang led them to the last Starskiff: "Great, at least there's still one Starskiff left."
Where is this ship headed?
"Look at the route from the pier; the final stop is the central hub of Starskiff Haven. Hmm, we'll be safe once we get there."
"By the way, I haven't asked you two where you were originally planning to go." Sushang looked at Fulisina first; she couldn't have appeared at Cloudford for no reason.
"Find a teahouse."
" The Sleepless Earl? The tea there is indeed delicious, and you can also listen to Mr. Xiyan tell stories. Luocha, what about you?"
"I still have a few other orders for other Xianzhou, but... to be honest, I had originally arranged to discuss a deal with Ms. Tingyun of the [ Whistling Flames ] merchant group, but it seems that it won't be going to happen now."
"The existing orders don't offer much profit; they all go through the company, with most of it being deducted. Only one order goes directly to [ Fanghu ], which might have some value..."
"Miss Tingyun?" Sushang seemed thoughtful; she knew about the Minghuo Merchant Guild.
"Miss Sushang, forgive my bluntness... Is it alright to change the route?" Noticing the change in Fulisina's expression, Luocha changed the subject.
"I don't know... I think it should be alright. Anyway, let's get out of here first. Once we're in a safe place, everything will be fine. When we get to Starskiff Haven, there should be a special evacuation team to pick us up, and then you can just follow them."
Upon arriving at the Central Starskiff Haven, Fulisina bid farewell to Luocha and the other two, and rushed to Ye Yan's milk tea shop.
result...
Fulisina and Tingyun stared at each other, wondering if she had gone to the wrong place, and even checked to make sure.
This vintage architectural style, along with the completely non-existent shop name, definitely makes it their milk tea shop.
"Um... Ms. Fulisina, if you are looking for Mr. Ye Yan, he should be in Exalting Sanctum with several people from the Astral Express."
"Damn it, I'm too late..." Upon hearing this, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
Upon learning of Ye Yan's departure, Fulisina wasn't in a hurry to go to Exalting Sanctum. Instead, she planned to first buy a cup of Immortal's Joy Tea at the [ Sleepless Earl ] teahouse across the street.
Then...
Fulisina and Blake, disguised as Mr. Xiyan and who had just finished dealing with Phantylia, stared at each other, both clearly surprised.
Mengming was equally bewildered. " Mr. Xiyan, is this lady someone you know?"
"I guess so." Blake forced a smile from the corner of his mouth. Seeing their reaction, Mengming wisely made way for him.
"You... don't you care about the Church at all?"
"Hmph, foolish Blake, how could I abandon His Church?"
After a "pleasant and friendly" exchange with Blake, and receiving a complimentary cup of Immortal's Joy Tea from Mengming before leaving, Fulisina finally set off for Exalting Sanctum.
Um...
At a small stall, Screwllum, disguised as Blake, stared at Fulisina, who had come to buy lotus root cake, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Having gone through the first two rounds of turmoil, Fulisina was not surprised at all.
Ah, they're all acquaintances from the Church.
"Foufoufou... Lady Fulisina?!" After a long while, Screwllum finally managed to utter these words.
Having just finished dealing with the [ Disciples of Sanctus Medicus ] with Xing, Screwllum had no place to rest.
I was just thinking of browsing the food stalls when I ran into my boss.
Seeing that Screwllum was penniless, Fulisina pursed her lips and kindly reminded him:
"If you're looking for a place to go, you can try the [ Sleepless Earl ] teahouse. The proprietress is friendly and will definitely help you out."
"Lady Fulisina, you..." Unfortunately, Screwllum was an inorganic life form and couldn't shed tears, otherwise he would definitely be in tears right now.
"No need to thank me, all of this is a blessing bestowed upon us by the noble Lord Yite."
May you hold onto this faith; farewell.
Fulisina had only taken a few steps when the shop owner called her back, "Sir, you haven't paid yet..."
"Um..."
Watching Fulisina run off to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Screwllum smiled with relief.
"Ah, Lord Yite... I beg you to take me away from this sea of suffering..."
