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

Chapter 345 Director Hua begins to advance the plot.

Dan Lei explicitly refused to get involved in Pinocene's internal ideological struggles, and that's fine.

After all, there are many planets in the universe where the upper class oppresses the lower class.

Not every planet can be like the Celestial Ship and Avalon, possessing a destiny of energy with virtually inexhaustible resources, greatly narrowing the gap between the upper and lower classes.

Moreover, even within the Immortal Boat Alliance, there are bound to be brainless idiots who look down on others just because they have money and power.

Embezzlement, bribery, and smuggling are all common occurrences.

On other planets, since resources are limited, classes will inevitably emerge. With classes come differential treatment, and the desires of the upper class will continue to grow, eventually leading to oppression.

This kind of thing happens on every planet with limited resources; it's just a matter of degree.

A prime example is the planet controlled by the Harmony Family.

Ignoring the special case of Pinocchio, if you asked other planetary families whether there was a hierarchy among their members, you would definitely get a negative answer.

"The family treats everyone equally, without any distinction of class or power."

In Hipper's compositions, every note is equally equal.

But in reality, this is only half of the sentence. The second half of the sentence is, "But even when we work together, we need someone to lead us, so family members have a distinction in the restorative scale."

Understanding, support, and cooperation are manifestations of a harmonious destiny.

Even believers in this path of destiny are divided into classes, which shows that class is an inevitable element of human civilization and cannot be eliminated.

You're saying that with such a vast universe, there aren't any planets with intelligent life where everyone is equal?
Dan Lei said that of course there are, but without class distinctions, most of these civilizations would be lifeless. Even with unlimited resources, they would become completely useless in their decline and eventually die in a cosmic catastrophe or be discovered and destroyed by other advanced civilizations.

Therefore, for Dan Lei, as the Dragon Lord of the Immortal Ship, it is a matter of principle not to interfere in the internal affairs of other planets.

Otherwise, Danlei will never be able to obtain entry permits for any planet in the future.

Because Danlei is too powerful, unless there is an envoy on the planet, who can guarantee that this Dragon Lord, who cannot tolerate any dissent, will not turn around and join forces with local forces to overthrow the current government if he sees any oppression after entering?

Of those present, Sunday, Robin, Himeko, and Walter would certainly understand Danlei's thoughts.

The ones with problems are the younger ones. You mean Gallagher? His age is unknown, but the thirteen-year-old in the main storyline might not be fake.

For Gallagher, the Star Train was just a story told by a watchmaker.

He has personally witnessed Danlei's development over the past few years.

The confrontation between Avalon and the Star Gods further convinced Gallagher that as long as Danlei was willing to stand on his side, the Star Core problem could definitely be solved.

Unfortunately, Dan Lei had already made it clear that the pressure from Pinocchio was none of his business, so Gallagher couldn't say anything more.

Afterwards, Dan Lei didn't ask anyone what the next steps were, and simply opened the door and left with Artoria and Huang Quan.

After Danlei left, the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, it was Sunday who spoke.
"Dan Lei is right not to get involved in Pinocone's internal affairs, because if he gets involved, it means that the Immortal Boat Alliance is involved."

In short, as the head of the Oak family, for the sake of Pinocene's bright future, I will ask the Dreamer about the Star Core.

The robin and I will immediately head to the dream and try to find the dreamer to confront him.

If the family truly deviates from the path of harmony, I will stand with you all, halt the Harmony Grand Ceremony, and personally repay the blood debt owed by Mr. Gofemu.

After all, the dreamer was also involved in Dr. Chadwick's affair.

Having made a statement on Sunday, Himeko, as the representative of the train crew, naturally also expressed her opinion.
"We have come here following in the footsteps of the nameless predecessor, and there is no reason not to continue following in his footsteps."

In any case, the Star Train is just a transit point for every world; it has no political affiliation.

Since Himeko had said so, March Seven and Hoshino naturally made some playful remarks to liven up the atmosphere.

Finally, Walter volunteered.
"In that case, Mr. Sunday, Ms. Robin, I am willing to accompany you on behalf of the Starry Sky Train. With a third party present, the negotiations should proceed more smoothly."

In case of danger... it's always good to have one more person.

Walter actually omitted half a sentence here. He originally wanted to say that if something dangerous happened, Himeko could use the contract to confirm whether she was really in trouble.

If a person is imprisoned, she can quickly find herself through a contract.

However, Walter had been thoroughly tormented by Otto in the illusion not long ago, so he instinctively didn't finish his sentence, keeping his guard up.

It's unclear what Walter was thinking on Sunday, but he didn't mind having another person with him.

With Metatron around, there's nothing to be afraid of as long as Dani doesn't make a move.

Anyway, Assassin, who had managed to evade Metatron's senses, was now on his last legs.

Having been grazed on the head by Metatron's attack, and given that its Master is a fictional historian whose identity has been exposed, it will automatically dissipate soon afterward.

A Servant who has lost its Master and lacks the ability to act independently will quickly dissipate. Even if this Assassin has a host, it will dissipate more slowly and will no longer pose much of a threat.

With the agreement reached, Walter left Dream Reef with Sunday and Robin.

Asna was very familiar with this memory realm; at first, she just couldn't find her way here.

Now that we're here, we naturally know how to get back.

After all, this memory domain is a one-way concealment of the Twelve Dreams, and the Twelve Dreams do not have any mysterious power to hide themselves.

After the three left on Sunday, Gallagher spoke very bluntly to Black Swan and Firefly.

“Miss Firefly, Miss Black Swan, I have some personal matters to discuss with the Starry Sky Train crew. What do you think…”

Gallagher's intention to get rid of him was so obvious that Black Swan naturally didn't insist on keeping him, and smiled.
"Understood, I'll leave then. Mysterious guy, always so secretive no matter what position he's in."

After saying that, the black swan opened a door for itself and disappeared.

Liu Ying smiled and then left with the Grammer cavalry.

Seeing this, March 7th gently nudged Ying with his arm and whispered...
"Ying, use your elemental vision to see if Miss Black Swan is still around."

If the person who remembers wants to hide, we really won't be able to find them.

Upon hearing this, Ying immediately activated her elemental vision to look around, then shook her head slightly to indicate that no one was around.

Gallagher chuckled softly at this moment.

"Don't worry, Miss March 7th, I'm quite sensitive to the methods of the Memory Clan; I can smell their scent."

My old dog, these days, only my sense of smell is still somewhat useful.

However, I don't have much time left, so let's get straight to the point.

On his deathbed, the clockmaker instructed me to find the Star Train and send the invitation to the nameless passenger in the future.

For this purpose, he prepared a gift, a true legacy, a legacy that belongs only to the pioneers and their descendants…

Leaving aside the fact that Gallagher left the true legacy to the train crew's watchmakers, the scene shifts to the black swan.

After leaving the square, the black swan did not leave Liumeng Reef directly, but instead opened the gate on a small path in Liumeng Reef.

At this moment, by the roadside on the path, Sand Gold and Archer were each holding a Sky Ring Wing Fortress and commenting on the social conditions of Dream Reef.

Upon seeing the Black Swan appear, Sand Gold immediately took out a Sky Ring Wing Burger from the takeout bag beside him and said with a smile, "Miss Black Swan, you've worked hard. Have a burger to fill your stomach first. I think the burgers here taste very good."

Black Swan didn't seem to mind the hamburger Sand Gold offered, but she still jokingly said...

"Director Sand Gold treated me to this? I thought it had to be at least a three-star restaurant certified by Interstellar Peace Company to be qualified for you to entertain your friends."

Sand Gold agreed with Black Swan's teasing; after all, for him, problems that money could solve weren't problems at all, so he simply laughed.
"My warrant hasn't been withdrawn yet, so I can't go to the big hotel in Pinocchio."

"Once this is over, Miss Black Swan, come to Pierpoint, and you can choose any three-Michelin-starred restaurant you like."

The black swan was very satisfied with this, and pulled out a chip from somewhere, saying...

"I've recorded everything you wanted, it's absolutely top-notch."

"You've got some nerve! Chadwick's fortress is about to collapse, and you still dare to slip this stuff to me in the chaos."

Sand Gold smiled even more broadly upon seeing the chips, and after taking them, replied...

"In subsequent negotiations between the company and Pinocchio, the more bargaining chips on the table, the better."

I doubt anyone else would suspect that I had formed an alliance with you long before I was even wanted by the police.

Black Swan immediately corrected him on this point about gold dust.

"It's not an alliance, it's a deal. Don't forget what you promised me."

You are an excellent businessman. In this vast world, no one values ​​integrity and contracts more than a businessman.

After hearing this, Sand Gold gave an "OK" sign and then said...

"Don't worry, Miss Black Swan, I will not go back on my promise."

However, would you like to make another deal with me? Would you like to find out what Dan Lei's real purpose is in coming to Pinocchio?
The more I watch this Holy Grail War, the more bizarre it seems to me.

An all-powerful wish-granting machine that can grant any wish.

Listen to this, doesn't it sound like a clumsy business scam?

It's only in remote, impoverished places like Yalilo-VI that such tricks can actually work.

But Danlei is taking the Holy Grail War very seriously, so there must be a big secret behind it.

After all, at his level, I can't imagine what he could accomplish by making a wish.

He can't possibly wish that all his girlfriends would get along well...

Damn, thinking about it that way, it's actually quite possible!

Black Swan, listening to Sand Gold's embellishment of Dan Lei, broke out in a cold sweat and interrupted him abruptly.
"Stop talking. Aren't you and Danlei on good terms? Why are you trying to uncover his secrets and making up stories about him like this?"

To this question, Sand Gold simply laughed.

"I only dare to make up stories about him because we have a good relationship. After all, he seems to have some connection with one of my benefactors, and I hope he can take responsibility."

As for exploring his secrets, who says friends can't be curious about each other's secrets? Besides, Danlei is playing a big game this time, and I feel really uneasy not knowing anything about him.

You know, at his level, if he tries to cause trouble and gets caught in the crossfire, my fate won't be much different from that of ordinary people.

Black Swan's mouth formed an "O" shape after hearing what the gold dust said.

Black Swan didn't hear a word of what Sand Gold said after that; her mind was only occupied with one thought: "What do you mean, that Danlei and Sand Gold seem to have a connection?"

As everyone knows, Danlei only dates women who are either geniuses or sycophants.

Is it a benefactor or a messenger of gold dust? Could it be a diamond? No, I can't think about it anymore, or I'll attract the attention of some powerful being in the dark.

However, although Black Swan has wild thoughts and is good at starting fights, she still has a clear mind. She knows who she can mess with and who she can't.

Dan Lei is clearly someone you shouldn't mess with.

Dan Lei was originally a memory path seeker, and also had a special skill to burn the spirit body's memory spirit (Dan Lei lied to her).

Moreover, if Huang Quan really made a move, he definitely wouldn't be able to hold out much longer, so he couldn't go to gather information about Dan Lei no matter how much Sand Gold offered.

So the black swan simply shook its head and refused.
"Forget it, I can't afford to mess with Danlei, and I suggest you don't mess with him either."

"A messenger is a messenger; if we anger him, we'll both die."

After Black Swan finished speaking, Sand Gold was about to encourage her further, but a shrill female voice suddenly came from the shadows of the alley.
"I think Little Peacock is right. Danlei should investigate this thoroughly. People think he might be the culprit behind all these Pinocchio incidents."

Upon hearing the sound, Archer immediately shot an arrow toward the source of the sound, then quickly drew his twin swords as a precaution.

However, the arrow he shot was knocked down from the sky by a gunshot, and two red-haired twin-tailed girls emerged from the shadows, namely Hanabi and Kurumi.

Upon seeing Kurumi, Archer immediately issued a stern warning.

"Berserker, don't come any closer, or I'll let you experience what it feels like to be pierced by a thousand arrows."

Kurumi was naturally unafraid of Archer's provocation and tried to continue forward after summoning Zafkiel.

However, Hanabi raised her hand to stop her and smiled.

"Hey mistress, don't be in such a hurry. We're here to find a sucker...hehe, to find a helper to cooperate with. Be gentle."

When Hanabi said that, Kurumi rolled her eyes at her, tapped her on the head with the barrel of her spear, and protested.
"I've told you so many times, don't shorten my name to Little Flower."

Hanabi and Kurumi are practically born Master and Servant; one is called Servant Kurumi, and the other calls her Master by a name that's usually used for dogs.

And Sand Gold really wants to complain right now, you Fireworks aren't looking for helpers, you're looking for suckers, you just said it on purpose.

However, it was still a bit of a surprise that fireworks would come knocking on their door and gold dust would come knocking on their door.

You know, when I approached Hanabi for a collaboration before, she ridiculed me thoroughly before giving me even the slightest improvement.

Therefore, adopting the attitude that fortunes change, Sand Gold immediately adopted a disinterested attitude and said...
"Originally, I wanted to investigate what Danlei was trying to do."

But since you, Hanabi, said you would investigate, then I won't investigate.

The Masked Fool does things only for fun. Since investigating Danlei is fun, it proves that what I'm worried about is also just fun.

Upon hearing this, Hanabi immediately laughed, then mocked...
"Little peacock, your voice is still as unpleasant as ever."

However, Dan Lei's ultimate goal at Pinocchio involves the Immortal Star God.

Do you still find this funny now that I've said it?

　The statement that "a good merchant is one who keeps his word and values ​​gold" is a direct quote from Black Swan.

　　Black Swan: My perspective may surprise you.

　　Black Swan: In my opinion, he is a trustworthy person, not for any other reason than that he is an excellent businessman. In this vast world, no one values ​​integrity and contracts more than a businessman.

　　Black Swan: But you should also be careful, especially when entering into contracts with them. Outside of contracts, they won't consider your rights... They will stop at nothing to maximize their own interests.
