Chapter 280

Stelle: "What do you mean, it's easy to talk when you're not the one standing?"

Stelle: "You're already an Aeons' messenger of The Erudition, of course it doesn't feel hard to you!"

Paimon: "Huh?!"

Paimon: "So Ms. Herta is actually an Aeons' messenger of The Erudition?!"

Paimon: "Wow, so she's also a super big shot!"

Venti: "To actually become a messenger of The Erudition... just how brilliant must that brain be?!"

Zhong Li: "By ordinary reason, it must be the peak intelligence in the entire universe."

Nahida: "The peak intelligence of the universe... truly enviable..."

Lumine: "There really are too many big shots in the universe."

Lumine: "Feels like you could pull anyone out at random and they'd be an extraordinary figure."

Stelle: "Hey, feels like it won't be long before I can become a big shot too!"

Stelle: "After all, right now, the fame of me, Galaxy Bat Hero, has already started spreading across the universe!"

March 7th: "Look at you, so pleased with yourself — get stronger first before talking big!"

March 7th: "So you won't keep getting bullied in the future!"

Stelle: "Who dares bully me?"

Stelle: "Don't know my good brother is Topaz?"

Stelle: "Or don't know I'm friends with General Jing Yuan?"

Stelle: "Or maybe don't know that Ms. Herta of the Genius Society and I are close experimental partners?"

Xiangling: "Wh... what a tough background!!"

Hu Tao: "With this background, you could probably swagger across the whole universe!"

Silver Wolf: "Tch, just a tiger-skin-dragger waving a big flag."

Silver Wolf: "Scaring small fry might work."

Silver Wolf: "Big powers won't fall for this at all."

Stelle: "You're right, so setting the sea on fire is still more useful!!"

Stelle: "Firefly, if someone bullies me again in the future, you've gotta protect me!!!"

Firefly: "Uh... o... okay!"

Firefly: "With me here, I definitely won't let anyone bully you!"

Silver Wolf: "Tsk tsk, you just keep spoiling her!"

The video continues.

Before Boothill could finish speaking,

Brother Dan Heng walked over to the table,

and picked up the half jade pendant placed on it.

【Recognize this thing?】

Brother Dan Heng showed it to Boothill.

【Huh?】

【This is — his darling's, an Alliance Jade Sign?!】

【The Luo Fu Xianzhou actually gave this thing to you?!】

Boothill looked at the Alliance Jade Sign,

and showed a surprised expression.

【T-treasure....?】

Pom-Pom listened to Boothill's words,

and showed a puzzled look.

【This is the Jade Sign gifted to the train by General Jing Yuan of the Luo Fu Xianzhou.】

【With this object on the train, it serves as the Xianzhoulian Alliance's recognition of the Astral Express's identity.】

【Is that enough?】

Navia: "Alliance... Jade Sign?"

Navia: "What is this thing?"

Navia: "Why would Mr. Boothill be so surprised after seeing it?"

Boothill: "How could I not be surprised!"

Boothill: "This is an Alliance Jade Sign!!"

Boothill: "Didn't expect you guys on the Astral Express to actually get this thing, his darling!"

Boothill: "Looks like you've done the Luo Fu Xianzhou a huge favor!"

Diviner Fu Xuan: "Indeed, the Astral Express lent a hand some time ago, saving the Luo Fu Xianzhou from a great calamity."

Diviner Fu Xuan: "Therefore, after much deliberation, the General gifted this precious Alliance Jade Sign to the train crew as a token of gratitude!"

Furina: "So what exactly is this thing used for?"

Dr. Ratio: "The Xianzhoulian Alliance's Alliance Jade Sign..."

Dr. Ratio: "As far as I know, this is a treasure-grade token that can unconditionally grant you the Xianzhoulian Alliance's protection at a critical moment."

Hu Tao: "Gain the Xianzhoulian Alliance's protection?"

Dr. Ratio: "Simply put, as long as you hold this token, no matter where you are or what crisis you encounter, as long as you activate this token!"

Dr. Ratio: "Then the Xianzhoulian Alliance will unconditionally dispatch reinforcements to cross many layers of starry seas and help you escape the crisis!"

"Boothill:" "Heh, it's more than that."

"Boothill:" "If the crisis you encounter is truly great, then even a General of the Xianzhoulian Alliance would rush over in person without a thought for their own safety to help you!"

"Boothill:" "So... how important this thing is, you can understand now, right?"

"Furina:" "It can even mobilize a Xianzhou General!"

"Furina:" "Those are all super big shots at the Arbiter-General level!"

"Zhong Li:" "If that's the case, then this Alliance Jade Token is essentially a powerful golden ticket of immunity..."

"Venti:" "Ehe, it really is something beyond imagination!"

"Venti:" "If Teyvat were fortunate enough to obtain this thing, wouldn't we be able to rest easy?"

"Paimon:" "Bard, don't even dream about it."

"Paimon:" "There's no way a treasure like this could ever end up in our hands, right?"

"Diviner Fu Xuan:" "Alliance Jade Tokens are generally only issued to allies who have rendered significant favors to the Xianzhoulian Alliance."

"Diviner Fu Xuan:" "So, if you do something like this in the future, it's not entirely impossible for you to obtain an Alliance Jade Token."

"Yanfei:" "A great favor to the Xianzhoulian Alliance?"

"Yanfei:" "Mm... sounds like something Teyvat could never manage in this lifetime..."

The video continues.

【... Not bad, kid.】

【No matter how vast the galaxy, with just a light grip you can summon tens of thousands of Cloud Knights...】

【Holy crap, how magnificent would that be.】

Boothill was a man who knew his stuff,

and this Alliance Jade Token clearly sufficed to prove the Astral Express's identity,

so he put away his gun.

【Now it's your turn.】

Brother Dan Heng began to have Boothill prove his own identity.

【The Rangers have been away from the spotlight too long; we don't have this kind of universally recognized good stuff from the underground.】

【But I've seen plenty of these occasions, and the solution is very simple........】

【Come on, you can ask me anything you want and see if my answers can earn your trust.】

【If you really find me suspicious, it's not too late to let me leave then.】

Boothill gave Brother Dan Heng a method.

【Why should I cooperate with you?】

Brother Dan Heng retorted.
