Chapter 742

Stelle: "Seeing injustice on the road and drawing a sword to help doesn't even begin to describe us!"

Boothill: "Tsk, tsk. You Nameless, in a way, are even more like a knight-errant than we Galaxy Rangers!"

Boothill: "After all, we Galaxy Rangers aren't willing to step forward and put in effort for every little thing either."

Boothill: "But you're different—when something comes up, you really go all in!"

Boothill: "Holy smokes, you don't even care whether you know the other side or not, familiar or not—you just reach out a helping hand, even willing to lay down your life for it."

Boothill: "I really don't know what to say about you."

Boothill: "The Nameless really are the silliest bunch of soft-hearted good samaritans in this world."

Hu Tao: "Hehe, is Mr. Boothill implying those three Nameless predecessors—Mikhail and the others?"

Marani: "Those three predecessors really were great."

Marani: "When Penacony was still a border prison, they willingly stayed behind to devote themselves, helping the border prison achieve liberation."

Marani: "And back then, they were really just passersby passing through..."

Marani: "But they were able to charge forward without a second thought, just to help others..."

Furina: "Isn't Miss Stelle and the others the same now?"

Furina: "All the way here, it seems like they're either helping someone, or on the way to help someone."

Paimon: "Lumine... why does this sound kind of like us?"

Paimon: "It seems like we also, every time we arrive at a new place, always end up helping someone..."

Miss Qingque: "That just goes to show the two of you were born to be fine material for becoming Nameless!"

Miss Qingque: "Ha, maybe one day, I really will see the two of you on the Astral Express!"

Miss Qingque: "When that time comes, I guess it'll count as meeting an online friend in person, right?"

Miss Qingque: "Just thinking about it gives me a little bit of anticipation!"

The video continues.

【Next, the report mentions that the leader of the Medicine King Heresy, Danshu, harbored ill intentions, colluded with the Abundance's Lord, and used a Stellaron to revive the Jianmu.】

【But Danshu was nothing more than a mere Alchemy Overseer—how could he have such far-reaching influence?】

【Her colluding with foreign enemies and summoning a Stellaron is one thing, but the Ancient Sea Jianmu is the territory of the Vidyadhara. How did she bypass the guards?】

General Feixiao began to ask the second question.

【What else could it be? Clearly the Luofu Dragon Lord betrayed his trust, abandoning his duty to watch over the Jianmu, and colluded with the Medicine King Heresy.】

Regarding this question,

Stelle felt it was the result of the Luofu Dragon Lord's ill intentions.

【That's not impossible either.】

【But why not say it was General Jing Yuan who brought Brother Dan Heng, who had been exiled for so long, back to Luofu, and Dan Heng split open the Ancient Sea, causing the Jianmu to lose control and be reborn?】

In response to Stelle's explanation, General Feixiao continued to press.

【I originally had no intention of trespassing onto the Xianzhou, it's just....】

Dan Heng, who was nearby, upon hearing this,

wanted to open his mouth to explain.

But General Feixiao cut him off.

【If you had no intention of trespassing onto the Xianzhou, then why did you return to the Xianzhou before your exile order had been lifted?】

General Feixiao adopted a tone of interrogation.

【It was because I worried about my companions' safety that I had no choice but to act on my own.】

【The relevant crimes should be borne by Dan Heng alone.】

Dan Heng sighed and explained.

【Brother Dan Heng need not be nervous. If there truly is culpability, this isn't something you alone can shoulder.】

Stelle: "So the details that weren't recorded, this is what they refer to?"

Stelle: "But this question doesn't seem to fall within the scope of our answers, does it?"

Stelle: "How Danshu actually snuck into the Jianmu's interior—we wouldn't know."

Stelle: "That should be something the Xianzhoulian Alliance needs to investigate."

Stelle: "As for Dan Heng, at first, he really didn't get off the train."

Stelle: "It was only later, when Luofu fell into great chaos, that he had no choice but to come down."

General Feixiao: "What you've said, I naturally believe."

General Feixiao: "But unfortunately, some of the old fogeys in the Alliance insist on making wild guesses."

Miss Qingque: "What even is that—I say they just want to drag General Jing Yuan down!"

Miss Qingque: "What's in it for them?"

Diviner Fu Xuan: "In it for them?"

Diviner Fu Xuan: "The benefit, I suppose, might be that there's one less person getting in their way?"

March 7th: "Sounds like the corruption within the Alliance is pretty serious."

Black Swan: "Hehe, that's perfectly normal."

Black Swan: "After all, human desires are what they are—no faction can truly be harmonious and get what it wants."

Stelle: "That's not wrong. After all, even our Express crew has that—what's his name—Osvaldo, that kind of scum?"

The video continues.

【Actually, I met Shu once.】

【Her dearest friend died in the war of Fanghu, and she loathes the Hunt....】

【She had spent years preparing within the Alchemy Commission, all for the sake of taking revenge on the Xianzhou.】

Regarding the question just asked,

Stelle added some more details.

【"Revenge... this too is a kind of the Hunt."】

【"But that doesn't mean she had the ability to bring the Stellaron into the Scalegorge Waterscape guarded by the Vidyadhara."】

General Feixiao shook her head, finding it somewhat far-fetched.

【"But this question should be answered by Danshu herself."】

Stelle continued.

【"Unfortunately, Danshu is already dead—her remains have even crumbled into a handful of flying ash."】

【"But that's one more lead we can pursue gone."】

Miss Sushang: "The previous Alchemy Commission's Alchemist Superintendent actually hated the Hunt?"

Miss Sushang: "So there was such a hidden story?"

Sister Yukong: "Sigh... another poor soul whose mind was blinded by hatred."

Stelle: "Truly a tragedy."

Stelle: "I can even understand the sorrow in her heart."

Guinaifen: "I'm a little curious—sister, do tell?"

Stelle: "This Alchemist Superintendent named Danshu was blind from birth..."

Stelle: "But she had a very proud nature and didn't lose hope just because she couldn't see."

Stelle: "So, through hard work, she became the best Alchemist in Luo Fu at the time!"

Stelle: "Moreover, she had believed in the Amber Lord since childhood and was His most steadfast supporter."

Furina: "Then how could such a person become a traitor who hated the Hunt?"

Stelle: "The reason is simple."

Stelle: "You can probably guess—a person who couldn't see didn't exactly have a pleasant childhood."

Stelle: "When Danshu was young, she suffered quite a bit of discrimination and pranks because she couldn't see."

Stelle: "But she had a very close friend who always protected her."

Stelle: "It's just a pity... this friend of hers ultimately died an unnatural death as a medic in the war at Xianzhou Fanghu."

Hu Tao: "Although I sympathize with her, casualties in war are perfectly normal, aren't they?"

Hu Tao: "Is it a bit extreme for her to take out her anger on the Xianzhoulian Alliance just because of her close friend's sacrifice?"

Stelle: "Well... actually, there's a reason for that too..."

Stelle: "Supposedly... her close friend didn't die at the hands of the enemy... but rather..."
