"A short sentence?" Sunday raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised.
Welt watched Sunday's every move closely. "I need to make sure there's no dangerous undertone in your words."
On Sunday, a slight self-deprecating laugh escaped her lips. "Have I really left such a strange impression on everyone...?"
Then, he put his hands behind his back, his fingertips interlaced.
"Please believe me, I have not returned to this place with malice, and [ Order ] can no longer descend upon Penacony."
"After you've used the power of [ Harmony ], I'm afraid I'll find it hard to believe this explanation."
Welt remained vigilant, and even slightly increased the force of his cane.
Previously at the Penacony Grand Theater, when he fought Dominicus of the [ The Choir ], he unleashed more than just [ Order ]; he also used [ Propagation ].
Answer my question: Why are you here?
Sunday paused for a moment, a complex light flashing in her golden eyes, and took a soft breath:
To gain your trust, I suppose... I only have one choice.
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't make any big movements. He simply flicked his wrist, and a spotless white soap with a faint fragrance appeared out of thin air in his palm.
On Sunday, the soap was carefully guided to allow its abundant and pure Imaginary Energy to leak out slightly, in order to prove its authenticity.
He then proceeded to recount to Welt, in a clear and unreserved manner, the reasons for his rescue by the Church of Eternity, his forgiveness, and his return to Penacony.
"So, it was the Church who saved you?"
Welt's gaze was fixed on the strange bar of soap, sensing the pure imaginary number fluctuations within it. His wariness eased slightly, but his doubts remained.
Sunday nodded, his eyes open and honest. "As you can see, I've returned to my hometown simply to say goodbye."
"Would you be so kind as to give me a chance so I won't have any regrets?"
Thinking that this might be the decision of an [ Eternity ] Emanator, Welt fell silent for a moment.
He slowly withdrew the cane that had been resting against Sunday's back, and the pinkish-black light quietly faded away.
"To be on the safe side, you must stay with me until you completely leave Penacony."
"I am extremely grateful."
"I left my hometown in a similar hurry, so I can understand that feeling. But this is just my personal opinion; my companions also need to know about this."
Welt paused, then added, "Furthermore, I will verify this with relevant Church personnel later."
He was always meticulous in his actions, and the lesson of the Masked Fools's forging of tokens to fool others was still fresh in his mind.
On Sunday, he was slightly surprised. "The controversy Planet of Festivities has subsided, and the Astral Express should be embarking on its [ Trailblaze ] journey again. What is it that has kept everyone lingering in Penacony?"
"Could it be that someone else has stirred up trouble after me?"
"If so, what would you do?" Welt asked.
"I don't seem to have a position to make any suggestions. I'd like to leave the judgment to the Nameless."
"Don't worry, Penacony is not in danger. We haven't set off yet; we're just gathering intelligence on the next stop on the train—"
Before he could finish speaking, Welt seemed to realize something, and suddenly turned his head, his gaze refocusing on Sunday with a new look of inquiry.
Perhaps this former the Family head who spent some time in the [ Church of Eternity ] can provide some unique information?
"Regarding [ Land of Eternity ] Amphoreus..." Welt asked directly, his voice low, "Did you hear anything about it during your time at the Church?"
Upon hearing this on Sunday, his body paused almost imperceptibly, and he frowned slightly, as if searching his Remembrance.
After a moment, he raised his head, his gaze becoming somewhat distant, as if repeating some solemn proverb, and slowly said:
"The prologue to the War of the Aeons..."
"Um?!"
Welt's pupils suddenly contracted. Such a bombshell right off the bat? That's very much in line with the usual style of the [ Church of Eternity ].
Meanwhile, the Xianzhou Luofu
"Alright! Teacher Ye Yan, let me test you. What day is it today?"
At the Starskiff Haven Harbor, the Astral Express [ Trailblaze ] team and Yanqing gathered together, and March 7th, who was in charge, cleared his throat.
"Days of drinking milk tea," Ye Yan replied.
"No, no~ Although we can't live without milk tea in our daily lives, today is different!"
As he spoke, March 7th pulled out a bag of Soda Bean Juice from behind his back.
"Today is the Soda Bean Juice... cough, the day the future Sword Champion of Luofu bids us farewell!"
"What?" Xing scratched his head. "Today?!"
"Hey~ With the [ Wardance ] coming to a close, it's time to say goodbye to them."
"I never imagined that Luka's ancestors had such a little-known past with General Jing Yuan... Oh, I'm so touched."
As she spoke, March 7th took a Soda Bean Juice, and the next second, her expression instantly became complicated.
After much deliberation, she switched back to milk tea. The allure of this drink was simply too great; even a young girl's taste buds couldn't resist it.
"This Wardance was marred by too many unexpected events..." Yanqing recalled the previous experiences, "But fortunately, we had the assistance of the Astral Express. Please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to everyone!"
" The Astral Express Crew crew has traveled to and from Luofu many times, so there's no need for a farewell. We can be casual about it," Dan Heng said.
"A sense of ritual is always necessary, right? I wonder when I'll be able to come to Luofu again next time."
March 7th sighed, after all, they were the Astral Express that had been constantly " Trailblaze " the world.
"But did you know? The envoys from the Yaoqing Xianzhou and the Zhuming Xianzhou are also returning."
"I didn't expect it to happen today. Wouldn't it have been better if they had just stayed in Luofu?"
"It's alright that the pink-haired fox, the raven-feathered monster, and Master Yunli are staying here..." March 7th said, hands on hips. "But the two generals certainly can't stay in Luofu forever!"
On March 7th, the tone shifted, "So I suggested that we save the Astral Express Crew's farewell for last! Let's first see off our guests who have come from afar with Master Yanqing."
"Excellent, that's truly the best way to be a good host."
"This is Dan Heng's hometown, so we're practically locals here. Look, I learned swordsmanship here, and you've made quite a few friends here... Luofu, you could say it's our hometown too."
March 7th has already designated Xianzhou Luofu as his second hometown. I wonder what Ye Yan thinks. If his milk tea shops are all over the world, then there must be one that is his headquarters, right?
" Merlin's Claw and Flaming Heart General have already bid farewell to General Jing Yuan at the Seat of Divine Foresight. The two generals wish to travel light and simply, without the need for the Cloud Knights to draw too much attention."
" Yanqing initially felt it was somewhat impolite to come to Linzhou alone for a farewell... but now that I have all of you fellow train passengers with me, I feel much more at ease."
"What are you saying? We're practically family. If you ever need any help, just ask. I'll show you what the power of [ Trailblaze ] really is."
"Unfortunately, I was in a rush and only bought some drinks that the locals at Luofu love to drink as souvenirs."
"You know, they've come all this way, and it must take them quite a while to get back to their other Xianzhou. If they get thirsty, they can finally enjoy authentic Luofu tea..."
" Soda Bean Juice... I'm a little worried I'll throw up if I drink it on the way..."
"Is it really that bad? It's all from the heart! We can't let our guests go home empty-handed."
"We do like Teacher Ye Yan's milk tea, that's true, but when it comes to the most beloved drink among the old Luofu locals, it's definitely [ Soda Bean Juice ]!"
"Hmm, I wonder if they have milk tea with a [ Soda Bean Juice ] flavor..."
