Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 269 Snow Robe: Ordered to Escort Prisoners

Of course, it's impossible to actually ask Hipe to bring Tai back to life; that would be too much to ask of him.

But after saying so much on Sunday...

"Alright, you've said your piece. The people from Luofu should already be waiting outside—go ahead, I'm giving you the last bit of face."

Yun decided to end this long and pointless debate.

Before the debate began, Yunzhi sent a message to Jingyuan, asking him to send people from the Ten Kings Bureau to receive the prisoners.

The invaded starship was from the Immortal Ship Alliance, and the victim was Luo Fu. Yun Zhi couldn't possibly ignore it. After all, the criminal was right in front of him, and Yun Zhi would feel uneasy if he didn't send him in.

So he summoned the Ten Kings' Office early to wait for him, but in order to show his benevolence, Yunzhi allowed himself to go see them on Sunday.

He's such a good person.

Lan stood up, and the chair behind her turned into specks of light and disappeared.

There's nothing more to say, so it's time to move on to the next topic.

As for Sunday?

"Go ahead, I'll keep an eye on things. Don't worry, if the investigation finds it has little to do with you, I'll get you out of there. And don't be afraid, there are plenty of people to help you."

Go ahead and turn yourself in. Don't worry, Meng wants either to go to the Ten Kings Division together, or he can just die here.

To prevent people from thinking that the Immortal Boat Alliance can trespass at will, turning this secret location into a tourist attraction.

The robin tugged at Sunday's sleeve.

I understood what my sister meant on Sunday.

All that I've said so far is pointless. With the Star God in charge, the First Envoy will lash out, and no amount of reasoning will help.

(Yunzhi: Besides, all of his arguments are fallacies.)

"My brother and I will go."

The siblings have a good relationship, so it's not surprising that the robin is worried about her brother.

"I will tell them, don't worry, you won't suffer."

Yunzhi also made a guarantee.

Rest assured, the Alliance treats prisoners of war well.

Sunday and the robin left.

This really stunned everyone.

"Just when exactly were the Ten Kings summoned...?"

March 7th's eyes widened, and its head tilted, making it look incredibly cute.

Yun Zhi shrugged: "Actually, we called them a long time ago. After all, I still need to keep an eye on the distance between Luofu and here... Considering the current situation, there's no need to bring Luofu, which is currently docked, over."

Therefore, the Ten Kings' Office should send someone themselves; he said to try not to let others see them.

"However, Sunday is still one of the heads of the Pinocchio family. If you do this, the family will probably object."

Himeko then expressed her concerns.

Although they all knew that Yun Zhi was not afraid of these things, they wouldn't be foolish enough to hold Yun Zhi accountable.

They can only go directly to the Immortal Boat Alliance, and then there will be another round of calculations.

Don't say they wouldn't dare. If Yun Zhi really protected the alliance like the apple of his eye, Meng Zhu wouldn't dare send anyone to cause trouble.

Unfortunately, it wasn't.

It's one thing to protect them, but why are there so many demands?

"That's the Marshal's business; she has her own plans."

Sure enough, Yunzhi felt perfectly justified in passing the buck: "Besides, they'll only put on a show; they won't actually dare to make a move."

As Yun Zhi spoke, he suddenly lowered his head and thought for a moment: "However... I really should tell the others... I happen to have Otti Everfa's contact information."

Tell that old man that when he asks for a reward later, he won't need to write a 500-word preface.

Walter recalled the Pinocchio family structure: "This Otti Everfa you mentioned seems to be a very successful businessman."

"People who are greedy for profit are easy to deal with," Yun replied. "Anyway, Pinocchio will definitely be reshuffled soon, and I wonder if the Oak family is all [Order]—if he seizes the opportunity, he might be able to tear some scraps out of the company."

After all, the behemoths of the universe are not to be trifled with.

The Strategic Investment Department desperately needed this credit – they had already failed to recover Belloberg's debt last time, as it would take them far too long to collect such a bad debt.

But with a foundation, it evens out.

They seem to be internally discussing which department to assign to a massive project with profits that defy description.

The Strategic Investment Department and the Market Development Department are still locked in a stalemate, with the Strategic Investment Department reportedly having a slight edge.

Come to think of it, the head of the market development department is no good.

Of course, that doesn't mean diamonds are all good things; at least compared to Oswaldo Schneider, he's relatively normal.

Lan's gaze fell on Gallagher, who seemed to want to interject but couldn't bring himself to say a word.

"The mysterious child—what are you trying to say?"

Upon hearing the question, Gallagher closed his eyes.

"You and Zhenjun should have discovered this when you last came to Liumeng Reef; there is a place that is still sleeping here."

Lan looked to the other side: "Hmm."

That is the resting place of the "watchmaker".

The people of Liumeng Reef are the guardians of the "Clock Makers'" tombs. Since they don't allow that place to appear, Lan and Yunzhi won't say anything more.

It seems they're finally going to make it happen?

"On his deathbed, Mikhail instructed me to find the Star Train and send the invitation to the future nameless traveler. For this, he prepared a gift, a true 'legacy'... belonging only to the descendants of the pioneers."

Lan looked at the stars behind her.

Yun sighed, "Let's see."

Gallagher nodded and led the group back to Mikhail's tombstone.

The flowers that were placed here last time are still vibrant, perhaps because this is a dream world, and they still maintain their most beautiful appearance.

"To be honest, sometimes I forget he's dead. It's like he still had so much to say, so much more to live..."

Gallagher looked at the tombstone with a wry smile, as if Mikhail were still standing before him:

"But now, I've kept my promise and brought the descendants you've cared about your whole life. I don't know why you can never forget that train, but I still remember the last words you said before you left this world..."

"So don't let us down, old man."

As soon as Gallagher finished speaking, the platform beneath his feet suddenly shook.

March 7th was startled, stumbled a bit, and then steadied herself.

"What happened?"

She looked surprised.

The platform suddenly rose, taking nearby buildings with it, and finally came to a stop beneath the inverted Pinocchio Theatre.

In the night sky, the "core" of Asdna, the Pinocchio Theatre, is emitting a soft blue glow.

Across from the platform, a simple garden appeared, and a long staircase seemed to lead directly to the grand theater, but it did not reach it.

"That is the end of his life, everyone, go forward."

Gallagher's eyes were filled with nostalgia: "That was Pinocchio's last nameless customer—the watchmaker, Ragvolk Charles Mikhail."

Yun Zhi was slightly taken aback.

—Just now… did that invitation respond?
