Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 443 A Small Test

Aglaia, a blonde, blue-eyed, gentle-spoken yet icy...god-like figure.

Yunzhi didn't know if this description was correct.

The blonde hair and blue eyes were heard from Himeko, but the other person's voice could be determined by oneself.

Those who have long held positions of power speak in a condescending and self-righteous tone.

Yunzhi felt that the face looked somewhat familiar.

—Actually, this is very similar to him.

Having been in a high position for a long time, one develops a peculiar sense of looking down on everyone.

This is a behavior that cannot be ignored, no matter how approachable someone is on a daily basis.

"Allies... that's a good way to describe them, isn't it?"

Yunzhi pulled Xing, who was still grinning foolishly, behind her: "I am Yunzhi from beyond the heavens, nice to meet you."

Aglaia paused for a moment, then continued to smile.

"Mr. Yun, you are very strong."

The fact that a single shot could destroy Nicardi's clone was indeed impressive in their eyes.

—But Aglaia didn’t know that if Cloud hadn’t taken pity on him, Onpharos would have been destroyed by an arrow from a distant light-year when he was discovered to be the Lord of Annihilation.

"This welcoming banquet may not be considered elegant, but it has dispelled our doubts. From now on, you are honored guests of the Holy City and distinguished guests of the Golden Descendants."

Aglaia remained calm and expressed her welcome in a very ordinary way.

But Yunzhi was clearly not buying it:

"Let's skip the formalities, madam. Since you are the leader here, and I also lead a rather large force in the world, we can talk as equals in terms of status."

Yun was truly speaking against his conscience when he said this, because if you really think about it—at least in terms of power and size—they were not just unequal.

In terms of status, they are unequal; in terms of identity, they are even more unequal.

Aglaia shouldn't be the messenger, right?

After all, they are all currently inside the belly of a single messenger.

Xing looked curiously into Aglaia's eyes: "Your eyes..."

Danheng also noticed:

"He seems a bit disorganized, could it be...?"

Aglaia knew they were curious about her eyes, but she didn't find it offensive:

"Are you curious about these eyes? I'm not blind; on the contrary, I can see far more than most people."

"Those who have golden blood always have something different from ordinary people. In me, it is my senses. I don't need to measure the world with light. The wind will carry messages to me along the golden threads, sending countless threads to my fingertips."

"Just like right now, your virtues are like a warm current, pleasing my skin."

Xing: How artistic...

Dan Heng felt the name sounded familiar: "It seems to be on par with Sunday."

A Sunday spent immersed in watching together on the train: ...

"I don't think it's that exaggerated."

On Sunday, I felt that my speech was not as artistic as Aglaia's.

Himeko laughed and said, "Shouldn't it be like Silver Branch?"

Such a beautiful way of speaking makes one feel as if a clear spring is flowing through their heart.

It's not hard to see that this lady and [Chunmei] have some kind of relationship.

"Really? That's great."

Aglaia spoke very elegantly and poetically.

Having little artistic talent, Yun filtered out all unnecessary information, leaving only one sentence: I rely on infrared sensors to perceive the world.

Okay, let's change the infrared light to gold light.

"We are of ordinary appearance, and it doesn't matter whether we can see or not. We can sense everything through the golden thread—so tell me now, how do I feel?"

Aglaia remained calm:

"Your Excellency is very excited."

The message her golden thread conveyed seemed rather unfriendly: "I've seen this kind of excitement before—"

Aglaia's smile vanished, and her expression turned serious.

"—On those who think they can control Ohma."

The moment the words were spoken, the atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense.

Xing and Danheng exchanged a glance.

—They've already laid their cards on the table?

They all knew that the biggest reason for Yunzhilaionpharos's expansion was to expand, but they didn't expect that the natives would discover it so easily.

For a moment, Bai E was at a loss for words.

After all, he was the one who brought the people up here, so if anything happens, he will naturally be held responsible.

He already had his weapon in his hand, ready for the second fierce battle at any moment.

Yun Zhi stood with his arms crossed, unmoving as a mountain, but a smile played at the corners of his lips:

"Oh, I've been found out. It's alright, I was just trying to talk to you about this anyway."

He sighed insincerely, then quickly changed his tone to that of a negotiator:

"Come on, ma'am, let's sit down and have a proper chat?"

Yun Zhi revealed a standard tilted-head smile:

"You, who are completely unfamiliar with the outer world, surely wouldn't refuse this source of information."

Come on, come on, let me tell you how terrible it is outside. Please come and huddle into the embrace of our Immortal Boat Alliance!

Aglaia's vigilance was raised to the limit.

This is not surprising. As the protector of Ohma, she was almost fanatical in her protection of Ohma. But it was precisely because she protected it so tightly that this city, which was perpetually shrouded in darkness, was able to retain a glimmer of hope.

How much more can Ohmma withstand?

Once she falls, the city will probably be doomed as well.

Therefore, they cannot afford to have any more enemies.

----------------

Regardless of what Aglaia is thinking, Yunzhi and she need to have a long talk.

Xing and Danheng were sent out to play by Yunzhi.

Yes, setting up an anchor point before playing is a big step forward for [exploration].

As for Bai E... this poor little thing was preoccupied with Yun Zhi's words about wasting resources, and he had no intention of being a tour guide.

Perhaps knowing that Yunzhi's words were quite explosive for the natives, Xing and Danheng had no intention of joking around.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the headphones, Himeko went to look after Mitsuki, while Welt enthusiastically directed them to run around.

If you ignore the savior on one side, Onphalus is actually quite beautiful.

Marble Market was bustling with activity, with many vendors and people coming and going. Tibo was standing at the street corner and was somewhat surprised to see them come out so quickly.

"Have you spoken with Aya yet?"

Danheng replied, "Zhi told her that he is our elder."

Tibo nodded: "We understand. Oh, right, I almost forgot the important thing. We came to find you to confirm if you have the communication tablet. Without it, it's impossible to move an inch in Ohma."

Communication stone tablet?

At the same time, Xing and Danheng recalled the information they had seen in Luofu Linyuan Realm... well, the information that was casually carved on the stone slab.

But clearly, that's not what Tibo was talking about.

Xing took out his phone:

"You're not talking about this, are you?"

"That's it, that's it! Sure enough, from beyond the heavens... your city-states also have priests of Janusapolis!"

Tibo stopped herself from saying "from beyond the heavens" in time.

Xing didn't ask anything.

Before they came out, Yunzhi instructed them that they must never tell anyone that they were visitors from outer space. Absolutely not. No matter how much the other party tried to persuade them, they should only say that they were locals of Onpharos.

They're just characters in a play anyway, so let's not give them any hope for now.

Tibo quickly added them as friends on their phones, making it easy to communicate anytime.

"Alright, you two go and have some fun. Hmm... Little Enemy is at Marble Market right now, and Little Butterfly is in the Garden of Life. They are both excellent companions of ours. You can go and get to know them."
