Chapter 523

Bo Tieou: "Damn it all, the atmosphere on your Astral Express crew is so good, it's making me want to join."

Bo Tieou: "But then again, I'm a dashing cowboy who wanders the cosmos — I have to stay solo to keep up the image."

Paimon: "Compared to being alone, I much prefer having companions by my side."

Paimon: "I really, really, really want to join the Astral Express!!"

Miss Qingque: "Miss Paimon, the life of a Nameless is so harsh — has it not scared you off yet?"

Paimon: "Uh... it really is harsh, and pretty scary too."

Paimon: "But for some reason, seeing Miss Stelle and the others being so reliable, Paimon isn't scared at all anymore."

Stelle: "Don't be afraid — worst case, we die."

Stelle: "If we die, we die together."

Stelle: "Think about it that way — aren't you a lot happier?"

Silver Wolf: "Ahem... you sure know how to arrange a joint burial...."

【In Eternal Memory】

【Lazarina Jane Estella】

【A former Astral Express cartographer — a vibrant, curious young scholar.】

【She hailed from the Zhorei Naulde star system, a world ruled by an enlightenment of memory and an academic aristocracy, and specialized in mnemokinetic dynamics.】

【Seeking broader academic horizons, she joined the Astral Express and devoted herself to building Asdena, launching research into mnemic matter.】

【In the final days of the War of Independence, she set out alone in a shuttle to uncover the secrets of the Primordial Dream, and vanished into the Mnemosyne Realm.】

【Her research laid the theoretical foundation upon which Penacony developed to this day, exerting a profound influence on the prosperity of later generations.】

【She is the true founding figure of the Land of Dreams.】

Hu Tao: "So detailed!!"

Hu Tao: "This part is different too!"

Ying: "This time not only are the names complete, they've even given us a rundown of some of their deeds."

March 7th: "The true founding figure of the Land of Dreams!"

March 7th: "I just knew it — none of the predecessors on our Express were simple folk!"

Dr. Ratio: "This is the true spirit of scientific research — worthy of respect."

Miss Ruan Mei: "The fact that Penacony can wield mnemic matter with such ease today is thanks to the indispensable contributions of Miss Lazarina."

Robin: "Indeed — without the theoretical foundation this predecessor provided, the construction of Penacony would not have gone so smoothly."

Herta: "If she hadn't been lost in the Mnemosyne Realm, she'd probably have become an authority on mnemic matter by now."

Herta: "What a shame — Heaven envies the talented."

Stelle: "The predecessor went out to explore!"

Stelle: "She surely had no regrets left behind!"

【Borel Kling Tieernan】

【A former Astral Express guardian — a gunman of extraordinary skill.】

【He hailed from the frontier world of Flati, where he idolized the legendary local gunslinger Oakley, and boarded the Express because of her deeds.】

【He was one of Penacony's outstanding wartime commanders, and the sole holder of the Hunter's Fang Medal — the highest honor — personally bestowed by Hanunue.】

【During the civil unrest, he accompanied the Lampmoth Family in re-opening the Silver Rail, and was attacked by a swarm of insects along the way and went missing, later rescued by the Cruising Rangers.】

【He took part in the campaign against the Annihilation Lord 957 Zhuluo, survived that brutal battle, and vanished from sight thereafter.】

【Until a Self-Annihilator found his relics.】

【He was a truly pure, noble, and selfless great warrior.】

Brother Dan Heng: "Gunslinger Oakley...."

Brother Dan Heng: "If I remember correctly, she was also a legendary navigator in the history of the Astral Express."

Furina: "He idolized a legend — and in the end, became one himself."

Furina: "That is truly inspiring."

Yae Miko: "All three of the Nameless who came down from the Express back then became legendary figures."

Yae Miko: "I have to say, 'Nameless' really is synonymous with 'hero'...."

Venti: "Ehehe, I think if the Astral Express came to our Teyvat, the Gujiye Society would lend a hand without hesitation, right?"

Stelle: "What — you folks in Teyvat have trouble too?"

Paimon: "We do!"

Paimon: "There's this weird Shenyuan Sect eyeing Teyvat!"

March 7th: "The Shenyuan Sect??"

March 7th: "Sounds pretty troublesome."

Brother Dan Heng: "Unfortunately, the Astral Express's route hasn't discovered Teyvat."

Brother Dan Heng: "So there's not much we can do to help."

【Lagvolk Sharmikhail】

【A former Astral Express mechanic, and the legendary Penacony magnate clockmaker.】

【He came from the ocean planet Lushaka, and was the adopted son of the legendary navigator couple Mikhail and Sharm.】

【He boarded the Express by chance, befriended many companions along the journey, and made tremendous contributions to Penacony's prosperity and development.】

【Beyond mechanical repair, he often claimed he had no great skills, only a knack for spinning tales.】

【The Clockmaker was his greatest lie, and the Nidesheng Society of Penacony was his final lie.】

【The man did not wish his homeland to stray from the path of freedom, and intended to cleverly borrow lies so that the varied destinies might endure and persist here.】

【But he never lived to witness Penacony's ending with his own eyes.】

【He passed away quietly in a corner where no one was around, and only a handful of people attended his funeral.】

【In accordance with the Trailblazer's tradition, his Crew Pass was returned to the sea of stars.】

【Meanwhile, Penacony remained brilliant and resplendent, and the dreams of children would go on forever.】

【May this journey end in reunion.】

Guinaifen: "Senior Mikhail really is being modest."

Guinaifen: "His knack for spinning tales can't even be described as a knack."

Miss Qingque: "With just two lies, he single-handedly propped up this mess of a Penacony."

Miss Qingque: "Now THAT'S what you call legendary??"

Furina: "Just two lies, and he actually managed to save Penacony."

Furina: "Thinking about it now, that really was absurd enough."。
