Chapter 497

Botio: "Ha, such a small matter doesn't necessarily require the Xianzhoulian Alliance's involvement."

Botio: "Our Sea Patrol Rangers can handle it!"

Brother Dan Heng: "Indeed, the Sea Patrol Rangers are a group of resolute individuals!"

Brother Dan Heng: "They hold beliefs that never waver, never succumbing to the Dream of Taiyi."

Fu Ningna: "But the question is, how do you summon the Sea Patrol Rangers to come?"

Fu Ningna: "After all, didn't you say the Sea Patrol Rangers operate independently and rarely communicate with one another?"

Botio: "That's right, I did say that."

Botio: "Normally, I truly have no way to summon them."

Botio: "But... the version of me in the video has obtained something."

Botio: "With that thing, gathering the Sea Patrol Rangers to Penacony won't be difficult."

Hu Tao: "What is it?"

Hu Tao: "Why didn't we notice it?"

Huang Quan: "It's... his relic..."

The video continues.

【—No, there's no need.】

【No need to disturb the Xianzhoulian Alliance. Keep that treasure, usable only once in a lifetime.】

【Tens of thousands of free wills? Child's play—】

【Leave it to the Sea Patrol Rangers to resolve.】

Botio rejected Brother Dan Heng's proposal,

and confidently took full responsibility for the matter.

【Can you rally the Sea Patrol Rangers?】

Brother Dan Heng was skeptical.

【Ha! Outsiders think the Sea Patrol Rangers are elusive and disconnected from each other—I agree!】

【But precisely because of that, there's an unwritten rule...】

【Huang Quan, do you know what this is?】

Botio pulled out the item Huang Quan had previously handed to him.

【It's the relic I returned to you.】

Huang Quan replied.

【Yes.】

【Its owner must have told you this thing is worthless to anyone outside the Sea Patrol Rangers—only when returned to its rightful owner does it function.】

【Because it is a burial artifact, fit only for heroes who have achieved great feats for the Sea Patrol Rangers.】

【When its light appears in the cosmos, it signifies the fall of a great star, and the direction it falls...】

【Will be filled with countless meteors streaking across the sky—that is the firelight of the Sea Patrol Rangers gathering.】

【They come from all corners of the galaxy, asking no reasons, counting no costs, because we uphold a shared principle—】

【The Hunting Star only falls on the longest night, and behind it—dawn shall arrive.】

Fu Ningna: "Every time Botio speaks of the Sea Patrol Rangers, I feel a profound and romantic awe."

Xingqiu: "The Hunting Star only falls on the longest night, and behind it... dawn shall arrive!"

Xingqiu: "This is true chivalry!"

Xingqiu: "I'm filled with burning passion— I want to leap out of Teyvat and join the Sea Patrol Rangers, become one of them!"

March 7th: "It feels like Botio, in just a few words, gave the Sea Patrol Rangers a stunningly effective advertisement."

Stelle: "Maybe it's because the Sea Patrol Rangers are just really cool?"

Stelle: "Asking no reasons, counting no costs, just upholding a shared principle..."

Stelle: "Honestly, it's hard not to feel drawn to such a force."

Stelle: "If I weren't a Nameless Traveler on the Stellar Express, I'd probably join the Sea Patrol Rangers too."

Stelle: "After all, we've got the title 'Galactic Bat-Wielding Hero' too!"

Paimon: "In the cosmos, fighting for justice—every Sea Patrol Ranger must be a great hero, right?"

Botio: "Ha, hero? Don't flatter me."

Botio: "We're just ordinary people who love to stand up for the oppressed."

Botio: "If you want to talk real heroes, the owner of this relic—that's the true, unshakable hero!"

The video continues.

【We've been silent too long.】

【It's time to make the cowards, parasites, and oppressors across the universe remember the name of the Sea Patrol Rangers again—let me strike the first blow.】

Botio declared with conviction.

【After the dream was shaken, I will complete the second step of the plan.】

【I will tune the sleeping with the harmony of song, implanting the dissonance of exploration into their hearts, pointing them toward reality.】

【Though people differ in strength, if exploration is the hero's mission, then harmony's duty is to aid the weak—for the savior of Penacony can only be a Penaconian themselves.】

【Each person's happiness and path must be forged by themselves.】

【Though I am not a Nameless Traveler, I am willing to pass on the courage to soar to everyone who needs it.】

Fu Ningna: "Miss Robin has embodied harmony so deeply, it's in her bones."

Fu Ningna: "I think no one in all of Penacony is a purer practitioner of harmony than Miss Robin."

Stelle: "I said before that Pinokoni should have had the Robin as its Dream Master."

Stelle: "With the Robin leading them, these family members could actually do something true to strengthening the weak."

March 7th: "The Robin is a true Child of Concord."

March 7th: "I think Concord should bestow a blessing upon her, so she can better strengthen the weak!"

Hu Tao: "If the Robin is a Child of Concord, then Mr. Sunday is a Child of Order."

Hu Tao: "Tsk, I just remembered something Mr. Gallagher once remarked."

Gallagher: "It's all fate playing tricks—had it not been for this damned Path, we might truly have sat down for a drink together."

Hu Tao: "Yes, yes, that's the one—it's so fitting!"
