They had been busy for a long time.
They had used the power of the trailblazer.
Ji Zi and Xia Ye finally completed the refinement of the Dusk Ancient Beast’s fragments and integrated them with the train.
Looking at the “unicorn” pointing towards the sky from the Star Rail train’s head, Xia Ye was very satisfied!
According to Ji Zi's calculations, this unicorn had a negligible effect on the train’s defense, but the boost to its attack power - at least it could easily pierce through an ordinary planet, if Pam allowed it…
Moreover, after contacting the virtual tree just now, the Dusk Ancient Beast’s fragments seemed to activate something incredible. Xia Ye could feel a primal aura from it. He had a feeling that this thing would definitely be useful!
“Everyone!”
Ji Zi clapped her hands:
“The train is also repaired. After Aisthe completes our supplies, we will leave for Pinokonni. If you have any other matters to attend to at the space station, please deal with them quickly. I won't wait for you when the time comes!”
“Okay!”
Everyone responded in unison.
The trailblazer’s journey is full of constant meetings and partings.
The previous Star Rail train, once it set off, would not likely turn back, unless it was a necessary place like the Black Tower Space Station.
But now, with Xia Ye’s magic network, returning to the nodes of past journeys is much easier than before.
Ji Zi announced the disbandment.
March 7th suggested going to find Aisthe.
She still owed everyone a meal!
On the star passage leading from the platform to the main control section.
March 7th was pulling A-Xing ahead, behind them, Xia Ye put his arm around Dan Heng's shoulder, a smile on his face:
“Dan Heng ah~"
“Just say what you want to do!”
Dan Heng was a little awkward. This kind of intimate action, he hadn't done it in this lonely life, not even in his previous life during the Cloud Knights. After all, they were all gentlemen back then!
“Look—"
Xia Ye waved the [Xinyan] in front of him:
“Isn't this a great sword?”
“Indeed…”
Dan Heng nodded. This sword, in terms of forging technique, is not top-tier, but it is almost god-level in other aspects, especially the sword intent, or the sword soul, even more full than the one in Jingliu’s hands!
“That's right!”
Xia Ye excitedly patted Dan Heng’s shoulder hard!
“Such a good sword, shouldn't it be paired with a top-level swordsmanship? So, Dan Heng, you quickly join the magic network and pass me the highest-level Cloud Knight swordsmanship!”
“I don't know it.”
“Ah?!”
“I don't know Cloud Knight swordsmanship.”
Dan Heng’s face was calm. He knew this kid was waiting for this. But he wasn't lying. In his previous life, Yuelun was proficient in long-range spells, and only excelled in spear techniques in close combat. He really didn't know swordsmanship.
“Really?”
“Of course it's true.”
Seeing his disappointment, Dan Heng asked:
“Why do you have to learn swordsmanship? With your current abilities, continue to develop the magic network, and one day you will be able to match the Envoy, even the Stellaron, and swordsmanship to achieve these—it can be said to be extremely difficult!”
“Dan Heng, that's where you're wrong—”
Xia Ye sighed:
“I grew up in a country with a sound legal system and a stable society, so I longed for the feeling of a swordsman in white clothes, roaming the world. Now that I have the opportunity, of course I have to learn swordsmanship and fulfill my childhood dream!”
“Hmm…”
Dan Heng fell into thought.
March 7th, who had been secretly eavesdropping on their conversation since just now, said:
“Dan Heng, do you have a way?”
“There is indeed a way—”
Dan Heng said in a flat tone:
“I have a set of top-tier swordsmanship, ‘Wuxi Fei Guang’, which can even cut away time when practiced to its peak. However, if you practice it, you will have to bear a certain karma. I'm not sure if it’s good or bad. Xia Ye, you decide. Do you want to practice it?”
“Of course!”
Xia Ye really didn’t expect that he could learn Jingliu's peerless swordsmanship from Dan Heng. Thinking about himself holding the [Xinyan], illuminating the thousands of rivers and the Milky Way pouring out dreams, he was already a little impatient!
As for the karma that Dan Heng mentioned —
It's actually nothing.
Jingliu wants to slay gods and kill Abundance. The Star Rail train, in all likelihood, will eventually face the destructive Nanook. They are all walking the same path, maybe they could even team up!
“Since that’s the case, I'll give it to you!”
Dan Heng felt a pang in his heart. The long-living species of the Xianzhou, humans have the disaster of the magic shadow, and dragons have the time of metamorphosis. But all in all, the dragon's metamorphosis is later than the magic shadow. So, Jingliu gave the "Wuxi Fei Guang" swordsmanship to Yuelun, to prevent its loss—
I don’t know if Xia Ye can learn it?
“Thanks, Dan Heng!”
Xia Ye gave Dan Heng a bear hug!
“…”
Dan Heng’s eyes were distant, as if he had traveled through time.
During the Cloud Knights, Yuelun got along with those companions like this, right — but that was just Yuelun's life.
Now I have companions too, the past, I should let go…
“Yay!”
March 7th clapped her hands and said:
“Xia Ye can learn top-tier swordsmanship, this is really a joyous occasion, let’s go find Aisthe, let her arrange a table of delicious food, and we will celebrate!”
“Okay!”
…
Aisthe’s process of connecting the Black Tower Space Station’s stellar core to the magic network went smoothly.
Xia Ye felt that the magic network had already covered the entire space station and even started to break through the atmosphere toward the blue planet.
At this rate, it will be able to reach the surface of the blue planet in a few days.
Then, by incorporating the core as a node into the magic network, a planetary magic network will be formed. Then, the next step will be to build a galactic magic network!
However, that will require Aisthe's efforts.
“You're leaving ah!”
After dinner, Aisthe heard March 7th say that the Star Rail train was going to leave. It was visibly reluctant to say goodbye.
At the space station, the Black Tower was not an object of conversation, Alan even acted as a servant, and the other staff members need not be mentioned. Aisthe couldn't find anyone she could have an equal exchange with.
But the Star Rail train is different. The members are all interesting, and they speak nicely, she really likes it!
Now they are going to separate, how could she not be concerned!
“It's okay, with the magic network, Aisthe, you want to come to the train to play, it's easy, but the energy you consume will be paid by you, it's like a ticket~"
Xia Ye said with a smile.
“Then it's a deal!”
The node permissions of the magic network have different levels, but only Xia Ye can transform into virtual energy and move between nodes, so Aisthe wants to get on the train and play. Of course, Xia Ye has to invite her—as for the consumed energy, for the stellar core, it's not extravagant!
Hmm?
While everyone was chatting, Xia Ye suddenly looked up at a certain direction.
“You guys chat, I’m going out for a stroll!”
Walking alone to a secluded corner of the base station, Xia Ye said softly, “You dare to come back, do you really think the Black Tower can’t do anything to you?”
“How could that be, I'm an Envoy, but as long as her main body is not here, I can still escape!”
A pile of mosaic appeared in front of Xia Ye, then quickly combined into a cyber game-style girl—
The familiar turbocharged ducktail hairstyle, rabbit ear-shaped hair accessories, black and white asymmetrical patchwork underwear, white fur collar cropped jacket, low-waisted fishnet shorts, revealing a slender waist and white, round thighs—yes, that's the feel!
“So hot!”
“Ah?!”
