Chapter 1395

~6 min read 1,147 words

"Everyone from the train group, nice to meet you. No, I should say I have already met with you in my foresight."

"This one is one of the 【Six Charioteers】 of the Xianzhou, the Divination Commission, Fuxuan."

This pink little person is clearly petite and cute; at first glance, one would think she is a weak-willed little girl.

But when she speaks, she is full of competence and seriousness, creating a strong sense of contrast.

"Friends coming from afar, we should have poured wine to welcome you, but since the three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man are not in their proper positions, we can only push it back a few hours. Let's talk about business first."

March 7th was left with a head full of question marks after hearing these stiff, formal words.

She leaned over to Stelle's ear and whispered: "Can you... understand what she's saying?"

Stelle thought seriously, then nodded solemnly: "Even the Synesthesia Beacon can't translate it... Could this be the legendary 【bookworm】?"

The two's whispers seemed to have been heard by Fuxuan.

The pink little person coughed lightly: "If you have opinions about this one's way of speaking, feel free to say so directly."

Stelle: "..."

March 7th: "..."

Being caught red-handed bad-mouthing someone behind their back was truly embarrassing for the two, and they could only respond with silly laughs.

Fortunately, Fuxuan was not angry.

And Welt also changed the subject in time, shifting everyone's attention to Kafka.

Although Fuxuan indicated she would take over the job of escorting Kafka.

She also promised Welt that she would share intelligence with them, meaning the train group had the right to know every word Kafka confessed.

To ensure Kafka wouldn't lie, Fuxuan planned to take her to the Divination Commission and interrogate her using the Matrix of Prescience.

Because using the Matrix of Prescience required some preparation time, the train group temporarily parted ways with Fuxuan, planning to stroll around Exalting Sanctum while waiting for news from the Divination Commission.

During this time, Welt also discussed Kafka with Stelle and March 7th.

In his view, Kafka's sudden surrender was very suspicious.

Everything seemed to be within her expectations...

Speaking of this, the topic jumped back to that 【Elio】.

The final conclusion was no different from their guesses.

Kafka came carrying the 【script】 given by Elio, and everything that happened during this time was within the other party's 【script】.

Finally, the question arose again—

What was the purpose of the Stellaron Hunters going to such lengths to lure the train group here?

Behind this series of actions, what kind of future had the 【Slave of Destiny】 actually seen?

All of this could only be known after the Divination Commission finished preparations and interrogated Kafka.

While discussing.

The group had unknowingly arrived at the Exalting Sanctum plaza.

And here, they met a cute little doctor—Bailu.

Stelle: "Little one, are you treating them?"

March 7th: "Where did this child come from? Where is your dad?"

Bailu shook her head: "I don't have a dad."

March 7th: "... Ah? Then where is your mom?"

Bailu shook her head: "I don't have a mom either."

March 7th: "Ah, this..."

For the first time, she felt her mouth was truly clumsy.

Why did I ask that question... I really deserve to die.

"..."

And just as March 7th was feeling incredibly guilty, Bailu put her hands on her hips and said: "I understand, you see me as small and think I must be a little kid who ran out behind her parents' backs."

"Hmph~ This is the Xianzhou! You short-lived little sister from outside, don't judge a book by its cover! Our Vidyadhara race reincarnates on our own; we don't need any dads or moms!"

"This young lady has been studying medicine since I hatched from the water, and I am a properly licensed physician in the Alchemy Commission!"

Hearing Bailu say this, March 7th was directly shocked.

The children in Belobog were still playing in the mud underground, and the children on this Xianzhou could already skillfully treat people!

However, at this moment, March 7th also noticed that this little girl's art style was wrong.

There was a pair of cute little horns on her forehead, and she was dragging a tail behind her.

And she said she was 【Vidyadhara】...

Immediately after, the knowledgeable Mr. Yang explained to the two what the 【Vidyadhara】 were.

Afterwards, the train group met someone from the Alchemy Commission nearby and learned from him about a villainous faction on the Xianzhou, the 【Disciples of Sanctus Medicus】.

This was an organization that had been extinct on the Xianzhou for a thousand years, followers of Abundance who made it their mission to unearth forbidden alchemy formulas and revive the so-called secrets of the immortal path.

But recently, this long-extinct organization seemed to have risen from the ashes and started causing trouble on the Xianzhou.

Therefore, the Alchemy Commission hoped the protagonist would keep an eye out for clues regarding the 【Disciples of Sanctus Medicus】.

Sure enough...

As outsiders, the train group's clothing and temperament were completely out of place with the local Xianzhou residents.

Soon, a mysterious person automatically approached and started trying to deceive Stelle, this outsider.

"This guest from afar, please stay."

"Do you... crave immortality?"

Good heavens, they went straight to the point as soon as they opened their mouth, almost leaving Stelle speechless.

However, Stelle did not show any signs of being 【interested】, nor did she show impatience, but instead, the corner of her mouth curled up:

"I crave power."

"Uh..." The strange person was choked for a moment, but then lowered their voice and continued to deceive: "I understand! You mean you crave immortality, right! After all, immortality is also a kind of power!"

"No, I just crave pure power!" After saying this, Stelle's faint smile became even more... scummy.

"Uh..." The strange person was choked again; they had never met someone so... dull.

"You've left me speechless, sister..."

However, they soon returned to their big-deceiver demeanor: "Hehe, you are really interesting. To be frank, I can only provide immortality to outworlders here, but perhaps you are more suited to join the Antimatter Legion."

"But whichever you choose, we should lower our voices. After all, this isn't a decent topic on the Xianzhou."

After saying this, they turned the topic back to 【immortality】 and started deceiving again.

"... So, before gaining power, you must also crave to live forever, right?"

……

After a bout of deception, Stelle finally put on a thoughtful expression.

Coupled with her previously dull and silly appearance, she looked like an easy target for deception.

Sure enough.

Stelle only thought for a few seconds this time before nodding in agreement.

And that strange person took Stelle to a secluded place.

Once there, that strange person completely let go.

They no longer suppressed their voice and proudly introduced themselves.
