Chapter 184

Klee: "Wow, then Klee also has a chance to become a Nameless, right?"

Klee: "So looking forward to it, so looking forward to it!"

Klee: "Klee wants to board the train now and travel the universe!!"

Paimon: "Uh... if little Klee boards the Astral Express, will she really not blow up the train?"

March 7th: "Bl... blow up the train?!"

March 7th: "Shh!! Can't let the conductor see this!"

Stelle: "What do you mean?"

Stelle: "Little sister Klee will blow things up?"

Klee: "Klee won't blow things up, but Jumpty Dumpty will!"

Miss Sushang: "Jumpty Dumpty?"

Miss Sushang: "What is that?"

Ying: "Cough, cough... Jumpty Dumpty is the name of Klee's bomb."

Stelle: "Bomb?"

Stelle: "Good grief!"

Stelle: "Playing with bombs at such a young age?"

Stelle: "This is a talent!!"

Stelle: "Don't say anything else, our Astral Express wants this kind of talent!!"

Paimon: "Actually... don't look at little Klee being so small; she is also the most famous Spark Knight in Mondstadt!"

Paimon: "Her bombs can even easily blow up all the fish in Cider Lake!"

Klee: "Dadada, Klee loves blowing up fish the most!"

March 7th: "So... sounds so dangerous..."

Klee: "It's okay, Klee won't blow up people randomly!"

Klee: "Honorary Knight sister can testify!"

Ying: "Seems like it... I don't remember seeing Klee blow up people."

Ying: "Of course, Hilichurls don't count as people."

Stelle: "Don't need to say anything else, sister, wait for you to come to the Express and bring little sister Klee."

Stelle: "Our Express crew needs this kind of explosive expert with sufficient firepower!"

Ying: "This... I have to ask her mother for permission..."

Klee: "Hehe, Honorary Knight sister don't worry, Mom will definitely agree!"

Albedo: "..."

The video continues.

The scale of time continues to walk,

the second act of the story,

happened during Mikhail's youth.

【Mikhail, where are you going?】

The train navigator's voice sounded.

【I, I'm going to the observation car to mop the floor!】

【I promised the conductor...】

Mikhail answered timidly.

【Stop.】

【Tell me first, did you fix this watch?】

The navigator held a watch,

and asked Mikhail.

【Uh... y-yes.】

Mikhail nodded stutteringly.

【I know what it originally looked like; the chain was broken, the back shell was damaged, and the scales were almost worn away... how did you do it.】

The navigator examined the watch repeatedly,

and the more he looked, the more surprised he felt.

【How did I do it... I find it hard to explain, but I know it can be fixed...】

【It's the hands, Mr. Amundsen; the hands are still good, they can still point in the right direction, so there is a way to solve the rest.】

Mikhail thought for a while,

and pointed to the still-rotating hands on the watch.

【...】

【From now on, you work with me.】

【I'll handle the conductor; haven't you always wanted to tinker with the train?】

【From today on, you are the train's mechanic.】

After being silent for a while,

the navigator gave Mikhail a new identity.

【B-but I only know how to fix watches...】

Mikhail didn't have much confidence.

【Don't worry, once you understand one, you understand them all; I'll teach you where to patch things up.】

March 7th: "Is this Mikhail-senpai in his youth?"

March 7th: "At this time, he had already boarded the Astral Express and become a Nameless."

March 7th: "And he was even highly regarded by the Express navigator of that time."

Furina: "It really makes one sigh with emotion."

Furina: "Who would have thought that the legendary Watchmaker of Penacony, in his youth, was just a shy and timid boy..."

Hu Tao: "Why else would it be called a legend?"

Stelle: "Come to think of it, this navigator named Falken Amundsen seems quite formidable."

Stelle: "I always remember seeing some introduction about him somewhere."

Himeko: "As a fellow navigator of the Express, compared to me, this senior is a legend in the truest sense."

Dan Heng: "Falken Amundsen was a navigator during the early days of the Cancer of All Worlds, codenamed 'Dawn Beacon'."

Dan Heng: "According to records, under his leadership, the Astral Express briefly recovered its former glory, with the number of passengers once reaching several hundred."

Dan Heng: "Moreover, he always fought for the cause of Trailblaze, never stopping."

Dan Heng: "Inspired by him, many people of that era voluntarily joined the Trailblaze cause and became Nameless."

Dan Heng: "It is a pity that such a legendary Nameless sacrificed himself on the path of Trailblaze very early on."

Welt: "This navigator senior was like the morning star in the dark night, bringing light to many in that dark era."

Xiangling: "Wow... he... he is a legendary hero!!"

Paimon: "Hmm... although it's just a brief introduction, Paimon can also feel that this navigator senior must be very great!"

Aether: "So, this navigator senior was the guide for young Mikhail..."

The video continues.

The scale of time continues to move,

The third act of the story,

Comes to Mikhail's youth.

【Lagwork, where are you going?】

【We should set off for the next stop.】

On the train,

Watching Mikhail packing his luggage,

The navigator named Granholm,

Could not help but ask.

【...】

【I... might not be leaving.】

【I plan to stay in Asdana, with Razalina and Tiernan.】

After a moment of silence,

Mikhail replied.

【Oh... does this place remind you of your home?】

Granholm was a bit surprised.

【The Asdana people have only won a small victory; there is still a long way to go before true freedom...】

【Hanunu needs us.】

【Don't worry, not every journey has to lead to the sea of stars.】

【Even if we leave the train, our Trailblaze will not end.】

Mikhail seemed to be comforting himself,

And also seemed to be comforting Granholm.

【It's okay, I knew long ago that you few couldn't be kept.】

【Go in peace, friend, and take this with you.】

Granholm chuckled,

And handed the thing in his hand to Mikhail.

【This is... Mr. Amundsen's hat?】

【Why...】

Mikhail looked at the hat Granholm handed over,

Stunned and lost in thought.

【When he left, he said he wanted to leave it to his best student.】

【I think now is the time.】

【Goodbye, Lagwork, take care of Tiernan and Razalina.】

【Remember... to write to us.】

Hu Tao: "Mikhail in his youth had already arrived at Penacony, or rather, the Frontier Prison."

Hu Tao: "And decided to stay here."

Hu Tao: "Staying here meant staying for a lifetime..."

Stelle: "Damn!"

Stelle: "Mikhail-senpai's hat is actually a legacy left by the legendary navigator senior?"

March 7th: "My god, the meaning contained in this hat is simply a rare treasure for the Astral Express!"

Welt: "This is... the true inheritance belonging to the Nameless..."

Himeko: "When Mikhail left the Astral Express, the 'Dawn' was already gone."

Himeko: "Another legendary navigator took his place..."

Dan Heng: "Granholm, codenamed 'Light-Chasing Child'."

Dan Heng: "He was only seventeen when he became a navigator of the Express."

Dan Heng: "But he spent his whole life navigating for the Astral Express."

Dan Heng: "After the Swarm Disaster, during the period when the worlds were cut off, he took the initiative to extend a helping hand to countless worlds."

Dan Heng: "The reason why the Astral Express has such a good reputation in the universe today has a lot to do with him."

Amber: "Ah... another legendary hero!"

Amber: "The Astral Express is really a place that produces heroes."

Dr. Ratio: "These people were legends while they were alive."

Dr. Ratio: "But after they died, few people remembered them."

Dr. Ratio: "Sigh... this world is just that ignorant."

Robin: "Heroes should not be forgotten, let alone slandered."

Robin: "Just like Penacony, if those three Nameless seniors hadn't been willing to stay back then, how could today's Penacony have been born?"

Stelle: "That's right, no matter what, our Express crew will seek justice for the three seniors of that year!"

Stelle: "We must never let them die in obscurity!"

The video continues.

Time continues to pass,

The fourth act of the story,

Comes to Mikhail's middle age.

At this time,

He had already become the Watchmaker.

【Watchmaker, where are you going?】

Mikai looked at Mikhail who was about to leave,

His expression was very panicked.

【Don't worry, Mikai.】

【I'm just going on a long trip.】

【Someone has to rush to the front line of interstellar exploration. Now there is only one former Nameless left in Penacony, why can't it be me?】

Mikhail's voice sounded very calm.

【It's because we only have you left!】

【Have you forgotten Tiernan?】

【The galaxy is not like it used to be, it's too dangerous!】

【If we lose you too, what will happen to Penacony?】

Mikai did not want Mikhail to leave.

【If we can't find a way out, what will happen to Penacony?】

【Tiernan... how could I forget him? Every sleepless night I ask myself, why didn't I set off with him back then?】

【The footsteps of the Nameless cannot stop... rest easy, Mikai.】

【I'm just returning to my old trade, just wait for me to come back.】

【But if, I mean if...】

【If I can't make it back in one piece, then you be the next Watchmaker.】

Nahida: "Mikhail in his youth had to personally rush to the front line of exploration for the sake of Penacony."

Nahida: "And at this moment, he also understood the determination of the navigator Mikhail back then."

Welt: "If nothing goes wrong, the Family was sought out by Mikhail who went out during this period, right?"

Welt: "In the situation at that time, only by seeking foreign aid could Penacony be completely preserved."

Stelle: "Sigh, one cannot clap with one hand, and a single tree cannot support a house."

Stelle: "If the other two Nameless seniors were still here, it wouldn't have come to such a desperate situation."

Stelle: "If Mikhail-senpai could have held on for a while longer, until we arrived, it shouldn't have ended up like this."

March 7th: "He had already held on for too long..."

March 7th: "He really couldn't hold on anymore, right?"

March 7th: "After all... the safety of an entire galaxy was almost tied to him alone."

Fu Xuan: "A legendary hero who sacrifices himself for others is truly respectable."

Silver Wolf: "Actually, it was also at a bad time."

Silver Wolf: "It just so happened that during his most difficult days, the Astral Express suffered a great disaster, and the Nameless existed in name only."

Silver Wolf: "Otherwise, as long as the Astral Express was operating normally, as long as he sent a message, there would definitely be Nameless who would go to help him."

Venti: "Always breaking through thorns and thistles in the most dangerous environments, moving forward bravely, never retreating..."

Venti: "Sigh... this is Trailblaze!"

Venti: "Great, but also tragic..."
