"It's really lively here. We just got out of the Family's [ Charmony Festival ], and we've already received new invitations."
"Although [ Trailblaze ] brings us joy, this whole thing has given me a psychological aversion to the word 'grand event'."
As Xing spoke, he sighed. The experience of Penacony, the " Planet of Festivities," seemed like only yesterday. His only regret was that the " Church of Eternity " had such a short time on the scene.
"Me too." March 7th and Xing shared the same thought. "And also, isn't attending two [grand events] back-to-back seem a bit like neglecting our duties?"
"The train's main task is to restore the star charts and flight route data, and perhaps conduct some serious scientific research on the side?"
Dan Heng, hands on his chest, said, "Then let March 7th stay and maintain the train?"
"I... I didn't say I didn't want to go."
On March 7th, with hands on hips, doesn't that bring us back to the point?
"I do enjoy joining in the fun... I just hope that the next place we go to join in the fun won't have some kind of enemy called Friday or Saturday popping up to mess with us, and I don't want any [ Intellitron Administrators] or anything like that either!"
March 7th was quite impressed with ' Lycurgus ' from the [ The Radiant Feldspar. Who would have thought that this Intellitron administrator was actually the [ Masked Fools ], who could win with an overwhelming advantage in the Origami Bird Clash.
"Besides, Teacher Ye Yan is also in Luofu. The Astral Express Family can't be without him!"
" The Xianzhou Luofu has just weathered a crisis, and holding the Wardance is also a way to demonstrate its peaceful and secure state to the outside world," Welt analyzed.
"That's what everyone said before we went to Penacony!" March 7th mimicked the Robin's tone, "[There won't be any danger under the protection of the ' The Family '~]"
"There's no need to be overly suspicious. The Wardance doesn't hide as many secrets as the [ Charmony Festival ]. It's simply a festival to commemorate the heroic deeds of the Reignbow Arbiter and Cloud Knights in fighting against the Abominations of Abundance and saving the Xianzhou."
"Aside from the Starskiff cruise performance, the ceremony and the surrounding area consisted mainly of martial arts and sword fighting competitions. It was no different from the Tayzzyronth Club we saw before."
"Cough cough~"
Himeko, acting as the navigator, coughed lightly, and all eyes turned to her.
"Since the Xianzhou Luofu has extended an invitation, then as a friend, the Astral Express should also accept."
"My plan is this: Pom-Pom will send everyone to Luofu first."
"As luck would have it, Ms. Herta facilitated the connection. Afterwards, Mr. Welt and I will bring back an ancient beast skeleton from [ Ginnungagap ] for Ms. Ruan Mei, member of the Genius Society #81, as a favor in exchange."
"Xing, March 7th, and Dan Heng can attend the ceremony as representatives from the train. Of course, it would be even better if they could learn some information about [ Amphoreus ] from Ye Yan."
This statement is not a denial of Trailblaze the unknown, but rather that the Astral Express does not fight battles it cannot win; a completely new world is certainly far more dangerous than imagined.
"Yay! The [ Trailblaze ] team has successfully assembled!"
"It's a pity, I was really looking forward to playing with some ancient beast fossils..." Xing sighed, looking down.
"If I see any interesting ancient beast fossils, I'll bring a few as souvenirs for you," Himeko replied with a smile.
"Hey~ Himeko and Uncle Yang are off doing serious scientific research! Ancient beast fossils are nothing compared to watching martial arts demonstrations and sword fights!"
"Besides, you have the most friends in Luofu. If you don't go, I won't know where to go! You have to show me the way."
The way March 7th looked at Xing changed; Xing felt that she was being affectionate with him.
"Now that all passengers have reached an agreement, let's prepare to jump to the Xianzhou [ Luofu ]!"
"[ Ginnungagap ]... What is she trying to find there? All current research on ancient beasts only proves that we know nothing about this kind of life..."
Welt stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"Ignorance is the domain of genius. Science's job is to pierce a hole in the veil of ignorance..."
Listening to their conversation, Xing covered her forehead and looked distressed.
"My head hurts so much, it feels like my brain is growing out..."
The adults' conversation was filled with complex jargon, ranging from "hypothetical astrobiology" to "transdimensional evolution," and even discussing the composition of the " Church of Eternity's " star-destroying soap weapon...
The carriage was filled with a dull and incomprehensible atmosphere. If she listened any longer, Xing felt like she was about to be stared at by the [ Erudition ] Nous.
To avoid embarking on a path of " Erudition " Path, Xing hurriedly left the Parlor Car and went to the guest car.
She looked at March 7th, who had already packed his luggage and was ready to leave, and fell silent.
Is this the speed of [ Trailblaze ]...? I've learned something!
" Himeko really understands people. Hehe~ Between ancient beast fossils and Wardance, the latter sounds more interesting."
"Oh, right..." March 7th suddenly remembered something and pushed open the [ Data Bank ] car door, " Dan Heng, when we go to Luofu this time, you'll get off with us and walk around, right?"
"Even though Ye Yan is there to back me up, I'm not comfortable letting you and Xing wander around Luofu like that."
"Moreover, Mr. Welt is right. The calamity at Ambrosial Arbor has just subsided, and both the Long-Life Species and Short-Life Species are still wary of the disaster. Jing Yuan's choice to hold the Wardance at this time is clearly to demonstrate the stability of Luofu to the outside world."
"Since he extended the invitation, it's only polite and reasonable for me to go and see my old friend."
The scene shifts, and the three of them are back on the Xianzhou Luofu.
"Returning to this familiar place, I am truly filled with many emotions..."
"Next, please welcome Miss March 7th to recite a poem."
Xing voluntarily gave up the center position, and March 7th quickly waved his hand:
"Oh, it's not like I need to compose a poem for this situation! It's just that I'm thinking about the twists and turns and the horrors I experienced when I arrived at the Xianzhou last time..."
"This time we weren't coerced or tricked, we weren't chasing any wanted criminals, and we weren't even landing at a cargo dock. Such a smooth journey... it's truly remarkable!"
Inside the milk tea shop opposite the [ Sleepless Earl ] teahouse in the Central Starskiff Haven.
Ye Yan stood by the window, looking at the suddenly bustling crowd outside, and immediately changed the status of the milk tea shop to [Closed].
Most of the people gathered at Starskiff Haven were from out of town. Such a large influx of customers should be given to the [ Sleepless Earl ] teahouse; his small shop can't handle it.
Ye Yan then turned to look at Yunli, who was sitting at the table trying to feed [ Old Iron ] milk tea, and his lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
"Sigh~ There's still some time before the opening of the [ Wardance ]. What should I do in the next few weeks...?"
"Miss Yunli, would you like to experience working at a bubble tea shop?"
