Chapter 298

Stelle had no more questions for now,

so she prepared to end the conversation.

【The time scale of Flowing Dream Reef differs from reality—never let your guard down.】

【You're highly sensitive to memory essence; a single misstep... could cause you to lose yourself in this memory realm.】

Before Stelle left,

Flowing Fire spoke to her in a tone of deep concern,

offering a few final words of advice.

【If you have any worries, feel free to voice them—we can discuss them together.】

Stelle came to Welt.

【Uncle Yang, that slash from Huang Quan...】

Stelle recalled that previous slash,

still shaken by it.

【No wonder Miss Huang Quan never wanted to draw her blade...】

【I can't imagine such terrifying power hidden within such a plain scabbard.】

【Had Sandgold's power not originated from Preservation, the entire dreamscape might have been affected.】

【Don't feel burdened by this.】

【Even without the star core inside you, Sandgold would have found another way to achieve his goal.】

【For now, trust Miss Huang Quan.】

【Given her strength, we likely have nothing to fear.】

Welt was also deeply moved by Huang Quan's previous slash.

【Uncle Yang, what do you think of Gallahad...?】

Stelle now began asking about Gallahad.

【During your investigation, he provided key information: Mikhail—the former clockmaker—who, along with his family, helped establish today's Pinoconny...】

【But later, for reasons unknown, he broke ties with the family.】

【But here's the problem: you're investigating a murder, yet as a peace officer, why did he evade the subject and start recounting his past with the clockmaker?】

【Now this name appears again in Miss Flowing Fire's words...】

【It's hard not to suspect something.】

Welt found Gallahad highly suspicious.

【Uncle Yang, speaking of Flowing Fire—how did you meet her?】

Stelle pressed further.

【Before we found you, she had already revealed herself as a Star Core Hunter and shared much information.】

【The true form of that Flame Knight turned out to be a young girl... For her, this is surely a secret she cannot reveal lightly.】

【From this, we can believe she intends to cooperate.】

【Yet, she has also withheld some secrets.】

【I always get the feeling that this girl's state differs from ordinary dreamers... I only hope it won't lead to danger.】

Stelle: "Damn, when Sandgold got slashed, he somehow protected the dreamscape too?"

Stelle: "He really... I'm crying!"

March 7th: "Tsk tsk tsk—this is the true value of Preservation!"

Fornina: "Mr. Sandgold truly lives up to the name of Preservation!"

Silver Wolf: "What? Sandgold's gold content just went up again?"

Silver Wolf: "After all, his name literally has 'gold' in it!"

Miss Qingque: "Your name has 'silver' in it too—feels pretty good, doesn't it?"

Silver Wolf: "Good how?"

Silver Wolf: "Can silver be more valuable than gold?"

Stelle: "Then why not just change your name to Gold Wolf?"

Stelle: "Listen—that sounds way more majestic!"

Flowing Fire: "G... Gold Wolf??"

Flowing Fire: "Pfft!"

Flowing Fire: "S-sorry! I didn't mean to laugh out loud!"

Flowing Fire: "It's just... this is way too funny!"

Silver Wolf: "Gold Wolf..."

Silver Wolf: "Nice name, but don't ever name me again!"

Silver Wolf: "I can't handle such a lavish name!!!"

Stelle: "Sigh, I gave you such a great name."

Stelle: "Since you can't handle it, give it to Silver Branch."

Stelle: "Silver Branch, from now on, you're Gold Branch!"

March 7th: "Hahaha—Gold Branch, Jade Leaf, right?"

Silver Branch: "Sorry, dear friend, but I firmly refuse!"

Botio: "Holy hell, you're a real naming genius!"
