Chapter 140

Boothill: "Who's to say he won't actually pull a backstab?"

Miss Sushang: "I feel like that's very unlikely..."

The video continues.

[Facing death with equanimity; that man is a true hero.]

[Even if the Master of the Dreams is innocent, the corruption within the Family is already deep-rooted.]

[I won't repeat the mistake Mikhail made once. Wish him luck...]

Gallagher came to Himeko and the others,

watching Welt's resolute back as he left,

feeling somewhat sentimental.

[Mr. Gallagher, you should still have something to say to us, right?]

Himeko saw that Gallagher seemed to have more to say.

[Why do you think that?]

Gallagher asked in return.

[Before we left, the conductor asked us to inquire about the three Nameless in Penacony.]

[Now we already know the stories of Ms. Razalina and Mr. Tiernan, only the last one, Razalock, remains.]

[If I'm not mistaken... we've already met him, haven't we?]

Regarding the last unknown Nameless,

Himeko gradually guessed his identity.

[Hmph... "met" might be a stretch, but the answer is indeed easy to guess.]

[My previous hints were obvious enough.]

[Ever since I received the reply from the Astral Express, I have been paying attention to your news, including the great efforts you have all made to connect the worlds.]

[And now, you have reached this place safe and sound, which has already proven your strength.]

[Ms. Himeko, were you the one who repaired the train, allowing it to sail the galaxy once more?]

Gallagher asked Himeko.

[Yes.]

Himeko nodded.

[And these two young Nameless... their backgrounds are mysterious, and they possess unique skills.]

Gallagher looked at March 7th and Stelle again.

[Then do you know the other titles of this Bat-Hero?]

Stelle heard Gallagher say this,

and immediately couldn't help but ask.

[You... what kind of messy titles are those!]

March 7th retorted to Stelle.

[Heh, so full of energy.]

[As for that conductor named Pom-Pom... please give it my regards. Its friends always talk about the time on the train after they get drunk.]

[As for that last Nameless, he set off, stopped, and set off again... after a long journey, he finally returned to the starting point.]

[On his deathbed, he instructed me to find the Astral Express and send that invitation to the Nameless of the future.]

[For this, he prepared a gift, a true legacy... belonging only to the descendants of the Trailblaze.]

[Follow me.]

[Now... it is time for it to see the light of day again.]

March 7th: "Ah?"

March 7th: "Didn't you say there was no legacy?"

March 7th: "How come there is one now?"

Stelle: "For others, there is no legacy."

Stelle: "Didn't you hear?"

Stelle: "This is a legacy that belongs only to us, the descendants of the Trailblaze!"

Stelle: "Ha, as expected of an old predecessor, still thinking of leaving things for us juniors, how nice!"

Dan Heng: "Since it's a legacy... then it seems this person has already passed away..."

Pom-Pom: "Sigh... I didn't expect that the moment they got off the train, they would be separated by life and death, Pom..."

Pom-Pom: "I just don't know if they all fulfilled their respective wishes?"

Furina: "Based on the current situation in Penacony and the previous descriptions..."

Furina: "I'm afraid not."

Hu Tao: "Sigh, the three Nameless predecessors fought for Penacony their whole lives, only to end up like this in the end."

Hu Tao: "And all passed away with regrets."

Hu Tao: "It really makes one feel it wasn't worth it."

Stelle: "It's okay, the things the predecessors didn't finish, we juniors will finish!"

Welt: "Well said."

Welt: "Inheritance is also a form of the Trailblaze spirit!"

Pom-Pom: "On behalf of those three past Nameless, I thank you, Pom!"

Pom-Pom: "You are all the most excellent Nameless!"

March 7th: "Hehe, I got praised by the conductor, yay!"

Stelle: "Yay, Conductor, praise me more!!"

Stelle: "I love hearing it!"

Pom-Pom: "Mm-hmm, then from now on, I, the conductor, will praise you every day."

Himeko: "Ha, then Stelle's mouth is going to reach the sky."

The video continues.

[Back here again...]

The group followed Gallagher back to the three monuments.

[Old friend, sometimes I forget you're already dead, as if you still have a lot to say, and a lot of roads left to walk...]

[Now, I have kept my promise and brought the descendants you've been thinking about your whole life.]

[I don't know why you could never forget that train, but I still remember the last words you said before you left this world...]

[Don't let us down, old man.]

Gallagher looked at the nameless monument in the middle,

speaking with a complicated expression.

Then he directly activated the mechanism hidden here.

Suddenly, the platform they were on,

began to shake violently,

and started to rise.

[Ah? What's going on?]

This sudden situation,

left March 7th somewhat confused.

[Go ahead, his destination... is in the garden ahead.]

[Penacony's first, and also last Nameless...]

[The Watchmaker, Razalock Char Mikhail.]

Furina: "Mikhail?"

Furina: "That mysterious Watchmaker was actually the last Nameless predecessor the Express crew was looking for?!"

Hu Tao: "Uh... it feels a bit unexpected, yet reasonable."

Pom-Pom: "Watchmaker... Watchmaker..."

Pom-Pom: "I didn't expect that the somewhat shy and introverted young man back then could become the famous Watchmaker of Penacony, Pom..."

Pom-Pom: "This really doesn't match the him in my memory..."

Pom-Pom: "It seems that after getting off the train, he also experienced a lot, Pom..."

Himeko: "Razalock Char Mikhail..."

Himeko: "As expected, the name this predecessor left behind before wasn't his full name."

Stelle: "The Watchmaker is the last Nameless predecessor."

Stelle: "Doesn't that mean the legacy he left us will be ridiculously large?!"

Stelle: "Could it be enough Credits to spend for several lifetimes?"

Stelle: "Or perhaps, ownership of Penacony?"

Stelle: "In any case, I feel like our Express crew is about to get rich!!!"

Paimon: "Wow!!!"

Paimon: "It feels like so much treasure is already waving at Miss Stelle!"

Paimon: "Wuwuwu, so envious, Paimon wants treasure too!."

Miss Qingque: "Stelle, if you become a rich person, don't forget us poor friends!!"

Guinaifen: "Right, right!"

Guinaifen: "We also want to bask in the glory of a rich person!"

Stelle: "Don't worry, don't worry, we're all good sisters, how could I forget you?"

Stelle: "Once I inherit the legacy, I'll take you out for the best food and drink!"

Welt: "Uh... I advise you not to be so optimistic."

Welt: "Based on the style of us Nameless..."

Welt: "It's unlikely he would leave behind such a mundane legacy..."

Amber: "Mundane?"

Amber: "So in the eyes of the Nameless, wealth is just the most mundane thing?"

Zhong Li: "Generally speaking, the Nameless who walk the Path of Trailblaze probably don't care much about material things."

Venti: "That's for sure, what they value most should still be the spirit of the Trailblaze!"

Venti: "So I guess... the legacy left by this Watchmaker predecessor should also be related to the spirit of the Trailblaze, right?"

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

March 7th: "But how can something as ethereal as a spirit be used as a legacy?"

Black Swan: "Hehe, Miss March 7th, have you forgotten?"

Black Swan: "In a dream, anything is possible."

Black Swan: "Even a spirit can be materialized."

Dan Heng: "Indeed... borrowing the hand of the dream, many things can indeed be done."

The video continues.

Stelle and the other two stepped forward,

to meet the Watchmaker Mikhail.

And at this moment, Mikhail,

in the garden closest to the full moon in the water,

was leaning on a recliner, silent and motionless.

He had already headed toward that endless long dream,

and no sound could wake him up again.

[As expected... the Watchmaker is the third Nameless, even I guessed it.]

Looking at Mikhail's peaceful face,

March 7th's expression was somewhat complicated.

[The legacy he left behind is a dream bubble. I guess inside it, there is something that only has meaning to the Nameless.]

[After all, when I checked the contents, I found there was nothing inside...]

[It's probably some Trailblaze cipher again, even more mysterious than me.]

Gallagher pointed to the dream bubble Mikhail was holding,

explaining a few things to the three.

[Mm, let's take a look.]

Himeko nodded,

then gave Stelle a look.

Seeing this, Stelle understood Himeko's meaning.

After taking a deep breath,

she began to walk toward Mikhail,

and touched the dream bubble Mikhail was holding.

However, she saw nothing from this dream bubble.

This made Stelle somewhat surprised,

but then she adjusted her state,

concentrated her attention,

and tried again.

But she still gained nothing.

This made her conclude that this was an empty dream bubble!

[Eh?]

[What's going on...]

[There's really... nothing in this dream bubble?!]

March 7th saw this scene,

and couldn't help but show a look of shock.

[...]

Himeko was somewhat silent.

[How could this be?]

March 7th couldn't understand.

[Hmph, rather, it's just as expected.]

[He always had an inexplicable confidence in the Nameless.]

[In his arrangements, the Trailblaze always had a place. I don't know where this confidence came from...]

[When he was still alive, he never successfully contacted the train.]

[I never understood what this old man was thinking, but this empty dream bubble is really his style.]

[Filled with nonsensical fantasies... and incomprehensible romanticism.]

[Old rascal... I never expected him to leave behind any backup plans anyway.]

Gallagher watched this scene,

and although he said he didn't care,

he was more or less disappointed.

[That's not true, Mr. Gallagher.]

[I think Mikhail must have left the most precious things for us.]

Himeko pondered for a moment,

and said to Gallagher.

[Heh, are you going to start preaching some big truths too?]

Gallagher felt Himeko was overthinking it.

[Just as Mikhail believed in the Nameless of the future, we will also unconditionally believe in the Nameless of the past.]

[They were willing to dedicate their lives to the land they loved, so how could they leave in a hurry with regrets for the future?]

[This dream bubble must have content, it's just that we haven't deciphered it yet.]
