"Little Bai! You're causing trouble again! Running so fast and getting into trouble all by yourself?"
A childish voice rang out, and a red-haired girl, about the same height as Bailu, suddenly came into their view.
"Oh no! How could I have stolen someone's weapon! This is terrible, is this how you treat strangers?"
"I just want to solve the problem in the safest way possible," the white-haired youth said.
"This is not safe at all—" she turned around, "Three strangers, please relax, relax, relax. We're all human, there's no need to make things so tense."
Dan Heng frowned. It was hard not to suspect that one of them was playing the good cop and the other the bad cop; he had to be vigilant.
"Uh, this little girl who's talking doesn't look human..." March 7th said in the team voice chat, "She seems to be an elf like the priestess."
" Little Bai is worried that you might be bad guys from heaven, but 'we' feel that the three of you mean no harm. Ah, let me introduce ourselves first—'we' are Tribbie from Janusapolis."
"This is..." Tribbie tugged at the white-haired youth's sleeve, " Little Bai, apologize quickly!"
"Since Teacher Tribbie says so... I'm sorry, the way you three landed in a dangerous area and made your entrance in such a unique way, I was just being overly cautious."
"That's understandable. We come from outer space; we are the [ Trailblazer ] who have landed on this world."
"Wait, you just confessed like that?"
Xing also turned on the team's voice chat, looking completely bewildered.
"They saw it all; there's no need to hide it. If they were truly the ones who attacked us, they wouldn't be saying so much."
"... It didn't come from [heaven], but from [outside the heavens]?"
Tribbie was a little surprised, "Wow, this is even more incredible... Three friends, thank goodness you met 'us'."
"What's the meaning?"
"It means we won't harm the three of you, but we might not be able to do that to others. You're very lucky."
"... Let's talk in private. It's really not safe out there. As you can see, there are still quite a few refugees trapped inside the temple."
"We are here to rescue them and escort them to the [holy city] Okhema. That's why I asked the three of you to cease hostilities and repeatedly confirmed that you have no malicious intent."
Judging solely from their performance in the clash Cloud-Piercer Spear and the baseball bat, the residents would have been utterly powerless to resist should anything happen.
"I am Phainon of Aedes Elysiae. Please accept my apologies for any offense I may have caused."
"What a pity, we were so close to starting the fight."
Dan Heng turned her head, hesitant to speak, but she looked utterly dejected.
"You seem a bit like me..."
What a coincidence! -- In that case, we've become friends through a fight. Here, this is your weapon.
Xing retrieved the bat, weighed it in his hand, and a strange feeling welled up inside him.
As far as I can remember, her bat wasn't snatched away by the opponent; rather, it seemed to fly out automatically as if it were sensed... which is quite intriguing.
Given the unique nature of the mimicry bat, there are currently two theories about Xing:
First, the other party is an [ Eternity ] Walker like her, or even a [ Eternity ] Emanator may have received special care from Teacher Ye Yan.
Secondly, this child has always been strong, and the mimicry baseball bat thinks she's too weak and doesn't plan to make her the Galactic Baseballer's signature weapon anymore, leading to a bad ending!
Xing deliberately ignored the second possibility. Although she didn't bind her weapon to her own blood like in the Xianzhou novel, she wouldn't just betray it like that.
This was given to her personally by Ye Yan; it couldn't be that Ye Yan betrayed her...
Xing quickly dismissed the idea. Haha~ What was she thinking? It's definitely not good to have such a erratic mindset.
However, we need to find an opportunity to investigate the white-haired youth further.
"Don't worry, this incident has been determined to be entirely Little Bai's fault. If the weapon is damaged, he will definitely fix it for you!"
Tribbie stood with her hands on her hips and said from the side.
"Haha, now I'll have to treat Hatonus to a few drinks again."
"We are new here and still have many questions. If you two can guarantee our safety, traveling together would be the best option."
Please lead the way.
Dan Heng glanced back at Xing and March 7th, then followed them first.
"Hey~ You've been looking downcast the whole way, what's on your mind?" March 7th suddenly leaned over. "Is your weapon broken...? No, it isn't..."
"That guy named Phainon, I always feel like something's off about him. That power he had earlier is from the same source as mine..."
"Ah, could you be long-lost siblings?!" March 7th wondered wildly. "Or perhaps, he also has a [ Stellaron ] within him?"
I don't know.
Xing rubbed her temples. This [ Land of Eternity ] was indeed extraordinary. The local residents could disarm her in an instant and even react to Teacher Dan Heng's zero-frame Cloud-Striking Cloud-Piercer Spear. They were no ordinary people!
As for the red-haired elf girl... there's nothing suspicious about her at the moment.
What is certain is that both of them were very meticulous and maintained their distance throughout the conversation. Their attempts to extract information about Amphoreus were thwarted by their coordinated efforts.
The situation is constantly changing, so we can only take it one step at a time. In extreme circumstances, force will remain the Astral Express Crew's trump card.
"It's strange, isn't it? Even the Aeon of the Trailblaze has never been to a planet where the languages are mutually intelligible?"
It was only after March 7th that I realized, perhaps this place, like Jarilo-VI, was connected to the Silver Rail a long time ago?
But if that's the case, March 7th seems even less plausible... Oh no, if she keeps thinking about it, she's going to have another meltdown.
Sigh~ It seems these questions can only be answered when Teacher Ye Yan appears.
Scepter δ-me13 - [ Tomb of the Nameless Titan ].
Tell me your understanding of [ Cyrene ].
Ye Yan looked at Demiurge, who had undergone another 'evolution'. Not long ago, he had searched for [ Eternity ] without success, so he thoughtfully gave the other party a lesson, successfully changing the impression that [ Eternity ] was just [Milk Tea]. Congratulations!
" Cyrene is... pink hair, pointed ears."
" Cyrene is a girl, a priestess."
Cyrene doesn't like tears. Hehehe.
Demiurge paused for a moment, then continued, " Cyrene is gentle, loves beauty, can write poetry, and likes to drink milk tea."
"Milk tea, it's delicious." Demiurge looked at Ye Yan, as if she wanted to say something more.
Ye Yan did not respond, but simply waved for her to continue:
" Cyrene was someone who never grew tall, could talk, and whose spirit remained even after she was swept away by the wind."
" Cyrene is the one who keeps giggling at the end of every sentence, like a little Tail ♪"
" Cyrene was born crying, fragile, transparent, like crystal."
" Cyrene was smiling as she said goodbye, her face soft, pink, like a flower."
"Very good." Ye Yan stepped forward and handed a cup of milk tea to Demiurge. "Now, tell me your understanding of [ Eternity ]."
"[ Eternity ] is... sweet, delicious... no, it's an undescribed [blank space]."
"As long as there is [blank], [ Eternity ] will always exist, Peaches will always remain."
"[ Eternity ] is...∞, and can be written."
"We must preserve all the [ Eternity ] Remembrance!"
