Chapter 144

[Whoa!]

[This rich black powder barbecue dipped in hydrogen peroxide flavor, it's... amazing!]

[Truly worthy of being the best sherry-cask-matured malt juice in the galaxy.]

Boothill took a sip of the drink,

showing a very satisfied expression.

[Black powder barbecue dipped in hydrogen peroxide flavor...]

[Is that really a flavor humans would like?]

Dan Heng listened to Boothill's words,

his expression very strange.

[Hehe, he doesn't understand at all.]

Boothill teased Dan Heng to the bartender.

[I hope you are satisfied, please enjoy.]

Furina: "Wait!"

Furina: "What... what flavor?!"

Furina: "Why didn't I understand?"

Boothill: "It's black powder barbecue dipped in hydrogen peroxide flavor."

Boothill: "You don't know, this flavor is unique!!"

March 7th: "Good guy, you're not drinking something humans drink!"

March 7th: "This taste, it's impossible to swallow, right?"

Stelle: "If you let me drink this."

Stelle: "Then I'd rather drink Sister Himeko's coffee."

Himeko: "???"

Himeko: "Stelle, are you praising my craftsmanship?"

Welt: "Uh... I suppose so..."

Hu Tao: "Too scary, just hearing this taste, my sense of taste is already going to be confused."

Diona: "Yay!"

Diona: "This drink sounds like it's not just usually bad!"

Diona: "If I can replicate it, wouldn't I be able to heavily strike those drunkards?"

Lumine: "But... with Diona's skills, I feel like she can't replicate such bad wine at all..."

Gallagher: "Looks like this little sister's bartending skills are not bad."

Paimon: "Not just not bad, she's a super bartender!"

Paimon: "No matter what strange materials are given to her, she can mix delicious drinks."

Stelle: "Oh... got it!"

Stelle: "It's a natural-born bartending saint body!!"

Stelle: "Not bad, after coming to the universe, it will definitely be popular!"

Venti: "Hehe, although the taste of this glass of 40-year-old Sinnon Valley sounds a bit strange."

Venti: "But as a drink, it might not be bad?"

Venti: "After all, good drinks need to be savored, and need someone who understands them, to taste the wonderful feeling."

Boothill: "Ha, Brother Venti's words are very much to my liking!"

Boothill: "Looking at your statement, you are a master of drinking!"

Boothill: "If there's a chance in the future, we must sit together and have a few drinks!"

Boothill: "Don't worry, my treat!"

Venti: "Hehe, since Mr. Boothill is so generous, how can I refuse?"

Venti: "Don't worry, if there's a chance, I'll definitely drink until I'm drunk!"

Lumine: "You get excited as soon as you hear about wine."

Lumine: "It's over, there's really no saving you."

Zhong Li: "Can only say, the name of drunkard is well-deserved..."

The video continues.

[We'll wait for that Memokeeper for half a system hour, if she doesn't appear, we'll think of other ways.]

[This time is enough for us to discuss the situation, in your opinion, where is the problem?]

Boothill and Dan Heng discussed where the problem lay.

[The situation is indeed not very clear.]

[Something must have happened to the Star of the Festival, but the public has no awareness of it.]

[There must be someone in a high position in the Family covering up the situation.]

[The Harmony sending invitations to other factions is already unusual, not to mention the IPC and Fools participating.]

[If the Nihility Emanator you mentioned is also true, the current situation in Penacony...]

[Is a bit too complicated.]

Dan Heng felt Penacony was almost becoming a mess.

[Actually, regarding Acheron, there is another thing that concerns me.]

[You also know that the faction that believes in the Hunt is the most untouchable group in the galaxy.]

[Any sane guy wouldn't dare to impersonate the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance or the Galaxy Rangers, this is completely looking for death...]

[Don't the Luofu Xianzhou people have a saying, the Reignbow Arbiter only uses light arrows to proclaim its wheelchair...]

Boothill quoted a very strange Luofu Xianzhou proverb.

Stelle: "What the hell?!"

Stelle: "Wheel... wheelchair?!"

Stelle: "Good guy!"

Stelle: "You're a hater of the Reignbow Arbiter, right??"

March 7th: "Does Luofu Xianzhou really have such a saying?"

March 7th: "The Aeon of the Hunt, does he sit in a wheelchair?"

Miss Sushang: "We Luofu Xianzhou don't have such a saying!!"

Miss Sushang: "The Reignbow Arbiter, His old self, doesn't sit in a wheelchair!"

Furina: "Mr. Boothill, aren't you smearing the Aeon of the Hunt?"

Hu Tao: "Daring to smear even an Aeon, this is simply tired of living!"

Hu Tao: "How about it, do you want to order a coffin at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?"

Boothill: "Cough cough, damn it, I didn't smear the Reignbow Arbiter."

Boothill: "I remember that Luofu Xianzhou saying, it seems to be said like that."

Fu Xuan: "It's truly laughable."

Fu Xuan: "That sentence was originally 'The Reignbow Arbiter only uses light arrows to proclaim its divine sound'!"

Fu Xuan: "But when it got to you, it became a wheelchair, right?"

Miss Sushang: "I thought it was just me who wasn't well-educated."

Miss Sushang: "Now it seems, Mr. Boothill is not much better than me..."

Miss Sushang: "Hehe, suddenly I have confidence again!"

Guinaifen: "Hey, Miss Sushang, why don't you compare yourself with those who are educated?"

Boothill: "Meow!"

Boothill: "Who's not educated?"

Boothill: "Didn't I just remember it wrong?"

Boothill: "Just a joke... can I not know that the Reignbow Arbiter doesn't sit in a wheelchair?"

Miss Qingque: "You haven't seen the Reignbow Arbiter, how can you know that the Reignbow Arbiter doesn't sit in a wheelchair?"

Stelle: "That's right, maybe the Reignbow Arbiter sits in a wheelchair."

Furina: "So does the Reignbow Arbiter sit in a wheelchair or not?"

Jing Yuan: "Cough cough, everyone, let's stop here..."

Jing Yuan: "The Reignbow Arbiter is not something we mortals can speculate about."

Boothill: "Haha, sorry sorry, my fault, my fault."

Boothill: "Next time I remember a saying, I'll definitely remember it all!"

The video continues.

[Divine sound, proclaim its divine sound.]

Dan Heng corrected Boothill.

[Whatever, you understand what I mean.]

[In short, don't look at the Galaxy Rangers disappearing for so many years, we have been watching this piece of the universe.]

[Many fools would rather offend the Annihilation Gang than offend the Rangers.]

[But that Acheron... at least from what she did, she doesn't look like a lunatic.]

[On the contrary, she is very logical and organized, holding back when she should, and never soft-hearted when she should be decisive.]

Boothill felt this Acheron was not a fool,

and that was the problem.

[Do you think such a person using the name of the Galaxy Rangers has an ulterior motive?]

Dan Heng asked back.

[I didn't conclude that, just felt it was suspicious, maybe she really knows the Galaxy Rangers, or maybe she has some reason to draw us out... I don't know.]

Boothill guessed randomly for a few words,

then shook his head.

[I am more concerned about the anomalies of the Family.]

[Because of this grand event, travelers from more than ten paths were summoned to Penacony.]

[No matter how inclusive the Family is, they wouldn't make such an abnormal move.]

[Unless the invitation wasn't sent by them, then the Family insisting on holding the Charmony Festival in this situation... is even more thought-provoking.]

Dan Heng felt the Family's behavior,

was too abnormal.

[Maybe all this is the instruction of Xipe the Harmony.]

[You think this matter is unreasonable, that's because humans can't do it.]

[Humans will do stupid things because of irrational impulses, will abandon principles when touching their own interests, and will also believe in things they know they shouldn't believe...]

[Damn it, humans will even break the rules they just set!]

[But Aeons won't.]

[Aeons will only walk one path to the end, never looking back even if they hit a south wall—and won't look back even after hitting it!]

Boothill had a different understanding of this matter.

Asta: "Haha, Mr. Boothill's metaphor for Aeons is really interesting."

Stelle: "Never looking back even if they hit a south wall, and won't look back even after hitting it."

Stelle: "Got it, Aeons are all iron-headed babies!"

March 7th: "Tsk, but the heads of Aeons, aren't they more than just usually iron?"

March 7th: "I feel that for them, breaking through a wall is also an easy thing."

Furina: "But speaking of which, why are Aeons so rigid?"

Zhong Li: "It cannot be said to be rigid, because they themselves represent the will of their respective paths."

Zhong Li: "If they were not practicing their own will, that would be the problem."

Dr. Ratio: "That's right, Aeons will only practice their path forever, for them, there is no such thing as flexibility."

The video continues.

[Do you think the will of Xipe is pushing behind this incident?]

Dan Heng's face showed a solemn expression.

[It doesn't necessarily have to be him, but there must be a metaphysical consciousness at work.]

[Don't say I'm pessimistic, if human free will is reliable, then what are the Galaxy Rangers for?]

[Attributing everything to Aeons and paths, things wouldn't be so complicated.]

[Just like Lan always walks on the path of the Hunt, just like Akivili, although whereabouts unknown, the train still travels on the path of Trailblaze, never derailing.]

Boothill didn't affirm that this matter was done by an Aeon.

He was just guessing.

[...]

[But I think Akivili's fall is also a precious legacy he left for the Nameless.]

Dan Heng pondered for a while and said.

[Oh, I guess it's because after losing an absolutely correct leader, the Nameless must be responsible for their own choices?]

Boothill guessed Dan Heng's meaning.

[Yes.]

[I think the meaning of the journey is not to walk on an absolutely correct path...]

[But to choose the path that suits you as much as possible among countless paths, relying on your limited knowledge and judgment.]

Dan Heng nodded,

his tone somewhat emotional.

[Although I don't know what you experienced, but people must be responsible for themselves, I agree with that, no one can do it for you.]

[And precisely because of this, the Galaxy Rangers must personally find that fake...]

[And figure out what she is trying to do.]

Stelle: "Dan Heng, I didn't expect you to have so many insights?"

Stelle: "Why don't you usually say them out?"

March 7th: "What else could it be?"

March 7th: "Of course it's to maintain your cold image!"

Dan Heng: "Cough cough... just suddenly talked about this, so I felt it."

Dan Heng: "It's not an insight."

Welt: "But I have to say, you in the video are very right."

Welt: "The meaning of the journey is by no means for a so-called correct path."

Welt: "In fact, I don't think there is an absolutely correct path in the world."

Himeko: "Or rather, for everyone, there should be different correct paths in their hearts."

Himeko: "And these different correct paths will also bring different results."

Nahida: "But these results, perhaps not all are correct, perfect..."

Nahida: "If so, can it still be called a correct path?"

Paimon: "Should... not be able to, right?"

Acheron: "People can't change much, the good or bad of the results is sometimes already destined."

Acheron: "As long as you insist in your heart that what you are doing is the correct path, then no matter what the result is..."

Acheron: "It should be correct!"

Silver Wolf: "Subjective, right?"

Silver Wolf: "It is indeed a good way to strengthen your own beliefs."

Stelle: "Thanks to Master Acheron for the guidance, I understand!"

Stelle: "From now on, as long as I think from the bottom of my heart that staying up late is correct, then even if I die suddenly, it must be correct!"

Stelle: "In this way, I can stay up late comfortably and without any guilt!"

March 7th: "???"

March 7th: "Hey, you understood it wrong, right?!"

Acheron: "Uh... although it's a bit strange... but it seems to be the logic?"
