They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 319 A Battle of Fate, Inevitable Enemies

After reading the letter in Potio's hand, Danlei confirmed that it was written by Loretta.

Potio seemed to have been of great help in the search for the descendants of the seafaring knights, which is why Loretta wrote him a letter of introduction.

Loretta's letter made it very clear that Potio contacted her because he wanted to find out the whereabouts of a certain high-ranking official in the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

She has confirmed that the Potio are a native nomadic people of the planet Algon-Appash.

His adoptive parents and siblings who grew up with him all died in the Interstellar Peace Corporation's gunfire.

There was no problem with his hunting route.

Loretta clearly didn't know who Potio's enemy was, only assuming he was an ordinary high-ranking official. Otherwise, she certainly wouldn't have written to Dan Lei for help, getting him involved in the assassination attempt on the head of the market development department of Interstellar Peace Corporation.

However, since Potio helped Loretta, Danlei couldn't refuse to help with such a small favor as checking her in.

After all, Dan Lei earned enough fame for bringing back the relics of the Sea Patrol Ranger who killed Zhu Luo, but Loretta did all the actual work.

So, after reading the letter, Danlei said directly...

“I can help you check in, but that will count as using up the favor you did for Loretta.”

Potti had no objections, because he now had a better partner: a senior executive at a company that was clearly hostile to Oswaldo Schneider.

Danlei and Potio's conversations both took place on Sunday.

So he gave Danlei face, waving his hand to signal the guards of the hound family to retreat, and then smiled.
“Since Mr. Portio is a certified sea patrolman, Pinocchio is naturally welcome.”

Mr. Portio, I hope you have a pleasant time in Pinocchio.

With the word spoken on Sunday, there was naturally no problem with Potio's check-in.

The robin, however, responded to what the gold dust had said earlier, addressing Sunday as follows:

“Brother, I’ll show the guests of the Starry Sky Train around. After all, we can’t let others think that Pinocchio is a planet that doesn’t remember history.”

Sunday naturally had no objection to this, since Danlei was already cooperating with him and wouldn't reveal anything about the order.

Traveling alongside the people on the Starry Sky Train, Dan Lei couldn't openly take advantage of the Robin.

So Sunday said with a smile
"Alright, the passengers on the Starry Sky Train are now in your care."

After saying that, Sunday left with the gold dust.

After Sunday and Sand Gold left, Robin walked directly to the train crew and said with an unusually gentle and beautiful smile.

"Mr. Danlei, everyone on the Star Train, please come over here for a short rest."

The approach of the robin excited March 7th, who loves trendy things, so much so that he stammered.

"Um, excuse me, you... no, you are...?"

That singer, April Fernandez, the superstar… "Keep a Heart Free from Grief" is your song, isn't it?

The robin is quite gentle with regular fans, so it smiled.

"I never expected such a lovely lady to be a fan of mine."

However, it is my honor to meet everyone on the Star Train.

Seeing that the two sides were about to enter a more informal mode, Dan Lei immediately interrupted, since both sides judged people based on their actions rather than their intentions, and too much formality would be a waste of time.

"Alright, you two, please stop flattering each other. You are both lovely young ladies."

Of course, after saying that, Dan Lei looked at the three girls in front of him and added something in his mind.

"It's a pity that one is secretly cunning, one is silly, and the other... well, this one is already mentally unstable."

Danlei probably didn't voice his inner thoughts, but both the robin and March 7th possessed unparalleled sixth sense.

On March 7th, the first question was raised.

"Danlei, I suddenly feel like you were thinking about me in your mind just now."

After March 7th was finished, the robin immediately continued...
"Mr. Danlei, your eyes have betrayed your true thoughts."

Xing was unaware of Dan Lei's thoughts, but with the two beautiful girls beside her already "charging forward," she naturally wouldn't lag behind. So, filled with joy, she said...
"Abandon the evil thoughts in your heart, the robin and the seventh day of the third month are both my wings!!"

Xing clearly misunderstood something, so the atmosphere towards Dan Lei was instantly broken.

March 7th's speechless complaint

"Xing, what nonsense are you spouting? When did I become your wings?"

The robin thought Xing was deliberately being mischievous to help Danlei out of a tight spot, so it covered its mouth and laughed.

"Miss Xing is so funny. The Starry Sky Train crew is such an interesting family."

The robin proudly accepted the compliment, hands on hips, and said...

"Of course!!"

Seeing this, Dan Lei was too lazy to even comment that Xing had said the robin and March 7th were her wings.

Anyway, once the fireflies arrive, and the childhood sweetheart who suddenly appeared after flirting with her is reunited, the buffs will be fully stacked, and she'll be head over heels for him.

So Danlei spoke to the robin and the train crew.

"Alright, enough talk, let's have the little bird guide lead the way."

Red-haired mom and brown-haired dad, please take good care of your pink-haired and gray-haired daughter.

"We should go inside the Daydream Hotel."

The robin had no objection to Danlei calling her "Little Robin." Danlei helped her recover her voice and pointed out the pinocene problem that had been bothering her for a long time. The robin had already accepted Danlei as a friend.

As for the Starry Sky Train crew, they wouldn't hold such casual jokes against Dan Lei.

Dan Lei was clearly making a joke based on the statement that the Starry Sky Train is a family.

However, since Danlei had spoken, the robin naturally began to lead the way, and the subsequent check-in went very smoothly.

Soon, the robin finished its tasks of leading the way and introducing the place, secretly slipped another note to Danlei, and then took its leave.

Meanwhile, Dan Lei pretended to take his leave, but actually went to the VIP lounge, found a secluded booth, ordered three iced Sorida drinks, and began to wait.

Here, Danlei isn't waiting for a robin, but for another woman who hints at something he wants to talk about later.

After the Starry Sky Train crew members checked into their respective rooms, they had free time.

Soon, Himeko and Welt arrived together.

After the two sat down without saying a word, Himeko took a sip of her soda and teased...

"Danlei, we hope our meeting with you won't interfere with your upcoming date?"

When Dan Lei saw Ji Zi teasing him, he immediately retorted.

"Himeko, that's not very polite. I didn't know Welt would be coming."

I thought you were asking me out, so I decisively gave up and waited for you here.

Dan Lei's words startled Walter, who looked at him with an expression that seemed to say, "So I'm leaving?"

Of course, all three knew that what he had just said was a joke, so after thinking of a certain red-haired loli, Walter said earnestly...

"Danlei, I have no right to interfere in your love life."

But as a friend, I want to give you some advice.

Cherish the people in front of you; don't regret not spending more time with them after you've parted ways." Walter's words immediately made the atmosphere serious, and Danlei could only raise the Sullivan and say...

“I know, my beloved, I look forward to seeing you and her when you drive the Starry Sky Train home.”

Dan Lei's words almost made Walter spit out the Sulphurac he had just drunk.

He could imagine that Tesla must have been scratching its head and worrying about him every day for the past few years.

After returning home, she realized that she had been having a great time adventuring in the galaxy over the past few years, and if she had an emotional outburst, she was afraid she would be in big trouble.

So Walter instinctively shuddered, thinking about how to explain things when he got back, and had no interest in caring about Danlei's love life anymore.

Seeing that Walter was lost in thought, Himeko assumed he was missing his family back home, so she skipped this sad topic and went straight to the point.

"Danlei, you arrived at Pinocone a day earlier than us. Tell us about your findings."

You should know the secret message in the watchmaker's invitation.

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei declared that he would stop using secret codes, as he already knew the truth about the watchmaker.

However, in order to give them time on Sunday and to ensure that the Holy Grail War can be held normally, Danlei cannot give away any spoilers here.

So Danlei nodded and cajoled.

"Take in the impossible things in your dreams, find the legacy of the watchmaker who was the father of Pinocchio, and then answer the question: Why does life sleep?"

The cipher text on that music box wasn't difficult to decipher; I analyzed the one from the Eternal Flame Mansion shortly after I got my hands on it.

However, I am not interested in the watchmaker's legacy.

To be honest, my purpose in coming to Pinocchio was to receive information about the Holy Grail.

As for why I sponsored the Holy Grail to the Hot Sands preliminary rounds, as I said in the group chat, I didn't know beforehand.

I just wanted to use the five major family lines to activate the Holy Grail and see if its effects matched what I knew.

After all, testing is a risky thing, so it's definitely more appropriate to let someone else do it.

Of course, I have collaborations with senior executives at Pinocchio, which I can tell you. As for what those collaborations entail, I'm not at liberty to say; you'll have to find out for yourselves.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with the watchmaker's legacy.

Although Dan Lei was lying, no one could expose him. The only one in the entire universe who knew that Dan Lei understood the future was the Memory Star God [Fu Li].

It's impossible for him to come forward and prove that Danlei is lying.

As for the others, since Danlei knew that the future was only a possibility of one path, it was also cut off at the last part of the first half of Onfaros.

Since Danlei has no connection to the final destiny, no one believes that Danlei can predict the future.

Moreover, even if the deal between Dan Lei and Sunday is exposed later, it only proves that Dan Lei did not fully explain his purpose for coming, rather than it being a complete deception.

Moreover, Danlei is already layering armor for his future self.

From Himeko's perspective, Danlei's statement that he has no interest in the watchmaker's legacy is definitely true.

With Danlei's current wealth, he really wouldn't be interested in the watchmaker's meager inheritance.

As for driving out the family and taking over Pinocene himself, Dan Lei doesn't seem to have such an idea at the moment.

Unless Dan Lei originally decided to use the Holy Grail to wish for control of Pinocchio.

Himeko breathed a sigh of relief. After seeing the news that Danlei was sponsoring the Hot Sands Audition with the Holy Grail, Himeko's biggest worry was that Danlei would conflict with the purpose of the Starry Sky Train.

Having known Dan Lei for so long, Himeko is very clear about what it means to be Dan Lei's enemy.

Dan Lei is completely shameless towards his enemies and opponents, and he resorts to all sorts of underhanded tactics.

In short, Himeko felt she couldn't outmaneuver Danlei, and if things were hopeless, she'd rather give up searching for the watchmaker's legacy than become enemies.

Now that Danlei has no interest in the watchmaker's legacy, that's the best outcome.

It can only be said that Himeko is oversimplifying the Pinocchio situation.

Danlei wanted to ensure the birth of a fetus that maintained order. After inheriting the watchmaker's legacy, the train crew could not allow Pinocchio to become a puppet of order.

This is a battle of fates; the train crew will definitely face off against Danlei.

Of course, Danlei will try to avoid a formal match against the train crew. Fights are inevitable, but friendly matches are fine; there's no need for a life-or-death struggle.

After all, I'm not a believer in order, so why would I risk my life for nothing?

However, since Danlei and the train crew currently have no conflict of interest, Himeko then casually asked...

"Danlei, if I'm not mistaken, the invitations we have weren't actually sent by our families, were they?"

Danlei can answer this question directly, because Jizi already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

So Danlei nodded.
"Yes, when I checked in, Sunday told me that the watchmaker had not consulted with the five major families when he sent out the invitation."

They only found out after the invitation was sent out.

After all, how could a family possibly send an invitation to the Annihilation Gang? This watchmaker's invitation must have been sent by a force outside the five major clans.

Seeing that Dan Lei gave an affirmative answer, Ji Zi smiled.
"Understood, Danlei, thank you for providing so much information."

Therefore, I will also explain our needs here.

Because you brought Tirnan's letter back to the train, we now know the fate of two of the three nameless travelers who remained in Pinocchio: Lagewock, Charles Mikhail, Lazarina, and Tirnan.

Now, watchmaker Mikhail has sent out invitations for the train to search for his legacy, so we will do our best for both reason and emotion.

Furthermore, we need to investigate Mikhail's current situation, and if he is deceased, what his final story was.

The train crew's purpose was not unexpected for Dan Lei.

The original purpose of searching for the three people who got off the train years ago was no longer needed, but the train crew took Mikhail's plea for help more seriously.

Ji Zi didn't tell Dan Lei that the cipher text was sent using a distress signal commonly used by the Nameless Guest.

Clearly, they didn't want to reveal the information that Mikhail might still be alive (from the train crew's perspective).

However, Dan Lei is very clear that the real watchmaker is dead, and Misha, who is still active now, is just a meme that is a microcosm of the watchmaker's life.

Moreover, he can only be seen by those involved in the pioneering work.

Danlei hasn't seen Misha yet, which clearly indicates a lack of drive.

All I can say is that, having traveled through time using the Holy Grail and confirmed his arrival in the world, his purpose was very clear.

Therefore, Danlei lacks the pioneering spirit.

However, Danlei has now clarified his path. Pioneering was never the path he was meant to take, so he will not force anything.

So, Dan Lei said in a double entendre at the end.
"Himeko, I already know the train crew's purpose."

As a friend, I must remind you that Pinocchio has a lot of influence.

They each have their own purposes, and when their destinies intersect, conflict is inevitable.

Therefore, you must be prepared to fight at any time, because trouble is something that follows the Nameless Guest.

　I worked on it from 1:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. and finally finished writing the two chapters.

　　I went to my maternal grandfather's house with peace of mind today.
