Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Then how about a glass of today's special [Glass Village]? Classic Sorida paired with bursting lemon juice, it's refreshing and suits your cool and aloof temperament."

"Please wait a moment."

After waiting for a while, the drinks were served.

Potio drank it all in one gulp and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Ah~"

"This rich, gunpowder-roasted meat with a hydrogen peroxide flavor is absolutely amazing! It truly deserves to be called the best pear barrel-aged malt juice in the entire galaxy."

Danheng looked at Potio with a somewhat disgusted expression.

"Black powder mixed with hydrogen peroxide...is that really a smell that humans would like?"

Portio looked at the bartender in front of him and smiled slightly:

"Hey, he doesn't understand at all."

The bartender returned the smile:

"I'm glad you two are satisfied."

After Potio finished drinking, he said to Danheng:

"Let's wait for that person who remembers for half an hour. If she still doesn't show up, we'll think of another way."

"This is enough time for us to properly assess the current situation. In your opinion, where does the problem lie?"

Dan Heng pursed his lips:

"The situation is indeed unclear. Something must have happened to the star of the event, but the public is completely unaware of it."

"There must be a powerful figure in the family covering up the situation."

Dan Heng continued his analysis:

"It is unusual for Tong Xie to extend invitations to other factions, especially with the involvement of companies and fools."

"If Huang Quan's identity, which you mentioned, is also confirmed, then Pinocchio's current situation... becomes far too complicated."

After thinking for a moment, Potio discovered another blind spot.

"Actually, there's something else about the Yellow Springs that I'm concerned about."

"As you know, the Faith Patrol faction is the most formidable group in the galaxy."

“No one who’s out of their mind would dare impersonate the Immortal Ship Alliance or the Sea Patrol Knights; that would be suicidal…”

"Don't the people of the Immortal Ship have a saying? 'The Emperor's Bow merely uses a beam of light to signal his arrival from his wheelchair—'"

Dan Heng corrected:

"Lunyin, announce its lunyin."

Potio rolled his eyes.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you understand what I mean."

"In short, even though the Sea Patrol Rangers have been gone for so many years, we've been keeping an eye on this universe."

"Many fools would rather offend the Extinction Gang than dare to offend the Wanderer."

Potio then changed the subject:

"But that Huang Quan... at least from what she did, she doesn't seem like a madwoman."

"On the contrary, she is logical and methodical, knowing when to hold back and when to be ruthless."

Danheng understood Potio's meaning and said:

"Do you believe... that such a person is using the title of the Sea Patrol Knight for ulterior motives?"

Potio denied it:

"I'm not so sure, I just find it strange."

"It's also possible... that she really knows the Sea Ranger, or that she wants to lure us out for some reason."

Seeing that Potio's attention was entirely focused on Huang Quan, Dan Heng couldn't help but remind him:

“I’m still more concerned about the unusual things happening in the family.”

"Because of this grand event, more than a dozen travelers on their respective paths were summoned to Pinocchio."

“No matter how tolerant a family is, they would not do something so unusual.”

“Unless…the invitations weren’t sent by them, then the fact that the family still insists on holding the Harmony Festival under these circumstances…that would be even more intriguing.”

Dan Heng frowned:

"I now strongly suspect that my companions have been drawn into the center of this incident."

Potio joked:

“Perhaps the family is doing these things on [Tong Xie] Hippie’s orders.”

"You think this is unreasonable because no human being could do it."

Dan Heng immediately denied it:

"No, people with mental problems really can do that."

"Oh?" Potio immediately asked curiously.

"You know this kind of person?"

Chapter 726 It Was You All Along

Potio then said:

"People can do foolish things due to irrational impulses, abandon principles when their own interests are involved, and believe things they know they shouldn't believe."

"Holy crap, people will even break the rules they just set for themselves!"

"But the Star God will not."

"The Star God will only ever go down one path to the bitter end, never turning back until he hits a brick wall, and even then, he won't turn back!"

Dan Heng pondered:

"Do you believe that Hipper's will was driving this incident?"

Potio smiled:

"It may not necessarily be Him, but there is definitely a metaphysical consciousness at work."

"Don't call me pessimistic. If human free will is believable, then what's the point of having sea patrols?"

“If you attribute everything to the stars and fate, things become less complicated.”

"Just as Lan is forever on the road of [hunting], just as Akivili is nowhere to be found, but the train is still running on the road of exploration, never derailing."

Dan Heng added:

“But I believe that Akivilli’s fall was also a noble legacy He left for the nameless one.”

In the spacious VIP lounge, Danheng and Potio, oblivious to everyone else, discussed such a private topic.

Some guests who passed by were astonished when they heard these words.

"It's a conspiracy theory about Pinocchio...!"

A blond-haired man immediately raised his glass and stood next to the two men, trying to strike up a conversation:

"What are you two talking about? It seems to be some very interesting topics. Why don't we discuss them together?"

Potio glanced at him and said disdainfully:

"Meow, I forgot there were people here."

Dan Heng's gaze was solemn:

"You were just about to say 'damn,' right?"

"Hey, you little darling, you're really sharp!" Potio looked at Danheng and praised him.

"How about it, would you like to consider becoming my translator?"

Ignoring the blond man, the two slowly moved to a corner of the VIP lounge.

"Alright, nobody usually comes here, let's continue."

Potio continued to ask:

"Let's continue our previous topic."

"I guess it's because after losing their [absolutely correct] leader, the nameless ones have to take responsibility for their choices?"

Dan Heng admitted:

"Yes, I believe the meaning of a journey is not about finding an absolutely correct path..."

"It is not so that, among countless paths, one can, with one's limited knowledge and judgment, try one's best to choose [the path that suits oneself]."

After hearing Danheng's insights, Potio couldn't help but praise him:

"Although I don't know what you've been through, I agree that people should take responsibility for themselves, and no one can do that for you."

"That's why the Sea Patrol Ranger has to find that imposter himself... and figure out what she's up to."

Potio took out his phone, glanced at the time, and said helplessly:

"Just in case, if the Memory Maker never appears, I have a backup plan... This is the last one."

Dan Heng commented:

"You have quite a few backup plans."

Potio smiled:

"I'm not really good at going through the motions. If I could go back to my old profession, many things would become much simpler."

"Brother Danheng, you took a walk around the hotel earlier. Did you see any guests... or any guests of particularly distinguished status?"
