Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 157 Treasure: Speaking of the Sea Patrol Knights...

Yunzhi was puzzled, but Lan did not offer any opinion on the matter.

He wasn't good at these things either; such matters naturally had to be left to experts.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, and the learned and knowledgeable person should be very willing to listen and do the calculations.

Yun's doubts persisted for a long time.

But soon, he gave up thinking about it.

"Never mind, I'll ask Bianzhi Tianjun when I have time... or maybe I'll talk to the Genius Club or the Knowledge Society sometime."

For these kinds of academic questions, you should consult an expert.

Yunzhi's brain circuits strangely overlap with Lan's.

Let's put these incomprehensible things behind us.

As for the voice from the abyss?

that's not important.

"They completely forgot that the original discussion was about March 7th."

Yun couldn't help but sigh, realizing she had once again inadvertently forgotten about her fellow train crew members.

"They're used to it." Lan remained nonchalant. "However, the Star Train will set off after the New Year, and I'll have to return to my original body then."

The immortal boat has been explored and helped; this wisp of consciousness has been outside for too long, it's time to go back.

"Is that so..." Yunzhi's voice lowered.

Lan smiled and said, "The reunion came sooner than I expected, but I've always been here. The nameless guests of [Exploration] have to be at ease. Besides, [Hunting] is, after all, hunting the starry sea. Even a wisp of consciousness shouldn't stay in one place forever."

"I know, it's just that being on this starship with you these days inevitably brings back memories of the past."

Yun raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "It's just that back then, we had to consider far more than we do now."

"You're thinking about a lot these days too." Lan glanced around and sat down on a nearby bench. "When we won before, we had to consider the soldiers' merits and rewards, the families of the fallen soldiers' families, and how to deal with those higher up, trying to get more military funding and credit..."

Yun interrupted silently, "Lan, please don't forget, it seems like I'm the one who did all these things."

It's not "we".

Lan's talent is indeed outstanding in combat, but she is a bit slow when it comes to personnel matters.

Of course, it's not that he's completely clueless; it's just that he has an all-powerful adjutant by his side, and he can't help but want to dump all the things he's not good at on him.

Lan wasn't annoyed: "Yeah, but I don't think I did nothing at all."

"That's true."

Although I didn't do much, I was still able to help.

Lan continued, "However, once we arrive here, we encounter enemies spreading the message of immortality, and I have to consider Luofu's ability to withstand it. We also encounter Chiming colluding with external enemies, and you're thinking about their contributions... It's never easy, no matter what."

"This world is full of contradictions, and being human means facing all sorts of messes."

Yun said, "Do you know 'Algen Apash'? It's a resource-rich planet where the native cowboys refused to cooperate with the company, so the company resorted to force and massacred the natives."

"But the records in the universe say that the nomadic people of Argonne Appashe disappeared in an unknown disaster."

"I don't know how many people stayed behind, but among the sea patrol knights, there is one who is a descendant of those people."

Lan recalled the organization she barely remembered, but had followed a few times because of Yunzhi:

"Pottior...right?"

That seems to be the name, a cowboy who's good with guns.

His hatred was soaring, and his resentment towards the Interstellar Peace Corporation truly lingered wherever he went.

Upon hearing the name, Yun Zhi nodded: "His enemy is that former unknown customer of the company, Oswaldo Schneider... I think Sand Gold is also... I think I remember correctly."

Lan's thoughts drifted, and soon she gleaned a fragment from her not-so-complex memories: "I seem to have heard that he once went to the Flowing Light Memory Garden in order to find his enemy?"

"Yes, it's said that the memory retainers of the Flowing Light Memory Court were in a real bind that day trying to salvage those precious memories."

Yun Zhi spread his hands and said helplessly, "But he didn't hurt any innocent people—you heard right. Even though his elderly adoptive parents and his adoptive daughter, who had just learned to walk and couldn't even speak yet, died in the company's gunfire, he was still able to control his hatred and didn't take revenge on the world."

However, it is probably only people like this who are qualified to become sea patrol knights.

"As for the head of the market development department, I have never had any dealings with him, not even on the Starry Sky Train."

In fact, the supervisor did try to contact him.

However, Yunzhi had no interest in market expansion and disliked those old foxes who were always eyeing the Immortal Ship Starship, so they never met.

Lan leaned her arm against the back of the chair, propped her head up with her hand, and her gaze became nonchalant again.

"The law of the jungle... If I remember correctly, those followers of Cripper also proposed cooperation."

"But I was rejected," Yunzhi replied quickly.

Lan sighed: "The resources of that planet can be used to make extremely powerful weapons."

That's why it's coveted.

"Yes, that's why Potio hates the company so much... but no matter how much he hates it, it hasn't affected the entire company."

Yun shrugged and sighed: "Who your enemy is doesn't matter. No one is a necessity in this world. Oswald Schneider is inhuman, but he's not entirely inhuman."

It's not that I haven't helped people; even if it was just for a better reputation, I have genuinely helped others.

Today, a significant number of people still depend on others for their livelihood, and the consequences of Oswaldo's death will be difficult to manage.

And ultimately, you still have to kill your enemy yourself.

When Yun first heard this story, she felt utterly disgusted by this previously unknown guest.

but……

It's impossible to overstep one's bounds; I have no grudge against Oswaldo Schneider.

So, if Potio were to actually put a gun to that guy's head someday...

Yunzhi wouldn't mind secretly helping him out.
