Chapter 503

【Even if... this has no meaning?】

The old man's spectral form asked again.

【Some things, even if meaningless, must still be done.】

【I've experienced too many similar things...】

【Please extend your hand, then close your eyes.】

Xing: "Use the words this old Sea Patrol Ranger once said to answer him."

Xing: "Tsk, looks like Quan-jie learned a lot from this old Sea Patrol Ranger."

Huang Quan: "Indeed, she learned a lot."

Huang Quan: "These are all precious."

Su Shang: "Alas... such a heroic figure must also come to an end?"

Fu Xuan: "He has fulfilled his wish; clinging to this obsession to remain in the world would be unbecoming."

Furina: "Miss Huang Quan will now guide him across, won't you?"

Furina: "After he vanishes, will the sky truly clear?"

The video continues.

【I will walk forward with your wish, and fulfill it.】

【Only this way can I lay to rest the final regret on this dead sea shore.】

Huang Quan extended her crimson right hand,

and gripped the palm offered by the old man's spectral form.

【Can I... see them again?】

The old man's tone held anticipation.

【You will.】

【Because the one who told me these things in person was you: about that train, your two former companions, the colonization that ended in insect plague, your narrow escape, and your meeting with the Sea Patrol Ranger...】

【And that homeland you can never return to—Pinoconny.】

Xing: "Holy shit!!!"

Xing: "I shit shit shit!"

Xing: "Wait, what is this talking about?!"

Xing: "Oh no, after hearing these lines, my scalp nearly exploded!"

Boothill: "Meow!"

Boothill: "He treasures that old Wuuuu-ba!"

Boothill: "Don't tell me your scalp exploded."

Boothill: "Even my alloy skullcap feels tingly and numb!"

Boothill: "So all this time... our old senior Sea Patrol Ranger... is actually someone we already know?!"

March 7th: "He... he is!!"

Himeko: "The answer may already be obvious."

Himeko: "But... could there still be coincidence?"

Welt: "It doesn't feel like coincidence."

Welt: "All the details match."

Welt: "Keep watching."

Welt: "See if he truly is the person we all suspect."

The video continues.

【Yes, countless times... I was shut out by my family, forced to pass by it without entering.】

【But I knew my companions were still there... alone...】

【Mikhail... are you still there...】

Gallagher: "Hah... Mikhail..."

Gallagher: "I never thought in my lifetime I'd hear that name spoken by... Tieernan..."

Gallagher: "For a moment, I felt as if I'd returned to those days when we were all still together..."

Gallagher: "Though conditions were harsh then, everyone's spirit was soaring."

Gallagher: "I still vaguely remember how vibrant Mikhail was back then..."

Gallagher: "Too bad..."

Gallagher: "Alas... time is merciless indeed!"

Furina: "Mr. Galah, don't say more."

Furina: "Watching this scene and hearing you speak, my eyes are already brimming with water element!"

Xing: "I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect it."

Xing: "This legendary senior Sea Patrol Ranger is actually Tieernan—one of the three Nameless Guests we've been searching for?"

Xing: "After surviving the insect plague, he didn't die—he even joined the Sea Patrol Rangers."

Xing: "And later joined the campaign against the Great Destroyer?!"

Xing: "This... this is too... legendary!"

Hu Tao: "Legendary Nameless Guest, legendary Sea Patrol Ranger..."

Hu Tao: "Insane. Truly insane."

Hu Tao: "Is this the real value of a Nameless Guest?"

Bo Tieou: "Meow, worthy of a Nameless, worthy of us Sea-Going Rangers!"

Bo Tieou: "A legend like this deserves to be remembered well by everyone!"

Pam: "Tieernan.... you guy!!"

Pam: "You even learned from Mihail!"

Pam: "But.... well done!"

Pam: "You didn't disgrace us Nameless, Pam!"

Pam: "The conductor is proud of you!!"

Pam: "Wuwuwu...."

Paimon: "Lumine, I'm so shaken I can't even speak... 0"

Lumine: "Paimon, me too...."

Lumine: "It's just.... after learning all this, I suddenly feel like crying."

March 7th: "I'm already crying!"

March 7th: "This scene is both moving and heartbreaking...."

March 7th: "Senior Tieernan, even after becoming a Sinnerspawn, was still thinking of his companions!"

Robin: "But the family repeatedly refused this senior's return to the homeland he had once fought and sacrificed for......"

Robin: "The family owes them far too much....."

Firefly: "It's fine, it's not too late to make it up now, isn't it?"

Firefly: "Heroes shouldn't be nameless; after death, they should be allowed to return peacefully to their homeland....."

The video continues.

【Take my hand, come with me.】

【We..... will leave this place.】

【You will set out on a very, very long road, and look around to see only darkness.】

【But don't be afraid, because you will see that at the end of that road there will always be a touch of red.】

【That is the color of existence; you must follow it, and it will guide you out.】

【Thus, you will surely be able to reunite under the sunlight.】

Gallagher: "Is this old fellow's final thought about to fade too?"

Gallagher: "Sigh... this guy too, even dead, just like Mihail, he ended up with an obsession."

Gallagher: "But.... if Mihail could know that Tieernan not only didn't die back then, but actually pulled off something earth-shatteringly grand, he'd be so happy he'd slap the table and leap up, right?"

Stelle: "He definitely would."

Stelle: "Senior Tieernan, until his life ended, the Sinnerspawn born of his obsession was still thinking of them."
