"That's an answer that really has your style. No wonder that Dr. Ratio often calls you a gambler."

Lumine retorted.

Aventurine shrugged indifferently, looked toward Furina, and explained:

"Lady Furina, you heard wrong earlier. I don't really intend to seek death."

"I was just curious about the Family's guarantee."

"The Family tells the Dreamchasers that they guarantee that every Dreamchaser who comes to Penacony's sweet dream will not encounter any danger, let alone die in the sweet dream."

"And I am a suspicious person by nature, so I wanted to try whether the Family's guarantee is really that powerful. So I tried to commit suicide in Penacony's sweet dream."

"Hiss." Paimon gasped and said:

"How can you say such things in such a relaxed tone?"

"So did you succeed or not?"

Aventurine spread his hands and said: "I am still standing here, so you know I didn't succeed."

"So, the Family's guarantee is certain; Dreamchasers can't even commit suicide in Penacony's sweet dream."

Venti rested his chin on one hand and said with interest.

"If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself."

"I guarantee you will only wake up in a shock from the Dreampool in reality."

Aventurine said.

"Who would want to commit suicide for no reason?"

"Even in a dream, I couldn't possibly commit suicide."

Paimon crossed her arms and retorted.

【Kaveh: You can't even commit suicide in Penacony's sweet dream? The people of the Family are really capable.】

【Dori: If they couldn't do that, Penacony wouldn't be the Star of Grand Events that Dreamchasers yearn for, right?】

【Wriothesley: Fontaine might establish a Star Rail route with Penacony in the future. If the people of the Family can't guarantee the safety of dreamers, I will also be very troubled.】

【Arataki Itto: No, Lord Luo Feng hasn't even returned yet, why do you Fontaine people think Lord Luo Feng will establish a route to Penacony in Fontaine? Why can't it be us Inazuma establishing a route with Penacony?】

【Wriothesley: Why don't you ask your Electro Archon, Brother Itto, if she is willing to allow Lord Luo Feng to establish a route to somewhere in the universe in Inazuma?】

【Arataki Itto: ……】

【Kuki Shinobu: Sigh, stupid boss.】

【Alhaitham: So, as long as one enters Penacony's sweet dream, one's spirit will not die due to any accident?】

【Dehya: Before, when Venti entered the sweet dream, he fell from a height of ten thousand meters without any injuries. The point that people won't die in the sweet dream is not incomprehensible.】

【Xilonen: Even if someone really encounters danger in the sweet dream, I'm afraid they would just wake up in reality like Aventurine trying to commit suicide in the sweet dream.】

………………

"You guy, you actually wanted to trick me into committing suicide?"

"Hmph, I must complain to Luo Feng later."

Paimon crossed her arms and pouted at Aventurine.

"I didn't intend to trick you into committing suicide in the sweet dream."

"But since my words made you unhappy, I think I should apologize and compensate for it."

"Unfortunately, I don't have any funds in this dream, so I can't compensate you with money or anything like that."

Aventurine said with slight helplessness.

"That's not right, weren't you quite generous at The Reverie hotel in the real world?"

"You even bought a Light Cone from Luo Feng for 40 billion credits before."

"How come you have no funds now? Could it be that those 40 billion credits made you bankrupt?"

Paimon asked curiously.

"That's not the case; it's just that everything I brought from reality to the dream is currently in the stage of being checked by the people of the Family."

"Unless that Mr. Sunday returns those things to me, I can only think of a way to compensate you after returning to reality, little Paimon."

Aventurine explained.

"Ah?" Paimon blinked: "Why are the people of the Family checking you? They didn't check us."

"I think it should be because Mr. Aventurine is from the company, and Penacony used to be the company's frontier prison."

Clorinde said.

"That's right. The people of the Family are worried that the company will do something bad while Penacony is holding the Charmony Festival, so they are extra strict with me."

"Sigh, this is really a misunderstanding of me. I actually just want to have a good vacation here."

Aventurine sighed, looking quite helpless.

"Really? Could it be that the company isn't interested in the Watchmaker's legacy because they were invited by the Watchmaker, which is why they came here?"

Sigewinne looked up and asked.

"... Hehe, I don't know how to answer this lady's words."

Aventurine smiled.

"So you really came here with a purpose, no wonder the people of the Family are so guarded against you."

Furina put her hands on her hips and said.

While still on the train, Luo Feng told them what was wrong with the so-called Penacony invitation tickets, and that music box used as an invitation ticket even had information about a Nameless asking other Nameless for help.

Even Duke Inferno received an invitation ticket for the Charmony Festival; a behemoth like the Interastral Peace Corporation must have also received an invitation ticket.

To say that Aventurine, representing the company, only came to participate in the Charmony Festival, Furina, Arlecchino, Clorinde, and other Teyvat passengers would not believe it.

"Oh my, it seems that in your eyes, whatever the Family does to me is self-inflicted."

"This is really a sad thing."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Did you come here at this time to find Robin?"

Aventurine asked Furina.

"How did you know?"

Furina asked.

"Naturally because you have been singing together frequently lately."

"And this direction is the direction to Miss Robin's room."

"So I guessed that you are going to find Miss Robin at this time."

"By the way, I am a loyal fan of Miss Robin."

"So, can you allow me to act with you and go see Miss Robin?"

Aventurine asked with a smile.

"If Sunday knew, he certainly wouldn't allow you to see Robin, right?"

"Besides, if you want to see Miss Robin, you don't necessarily have to go to her room to see her, right?"

Arlecchino, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that the Aventurine in front of her was a bit strange; every word he said seemed to have a hidden meaning.

"Indeed, if I were a bit more polite, I shouldn't go to Robin's room to find her."

"However, I am really worried about Miss Robin's physical problems, so I have to go and ask her in person."

"I think you should also know that Miss Robin's voice has a problem, right?"

"Although I heard that she improved her voice because she got a Light Cone exclusive to her from Lord Luo Feng."

"But relying solely on the power of the Light Cone to keep her voice normal should be a situation of treating the symptoms but not the root cause, right?"

Aventurine said sincerely.

Penacony now has problems. Apart from the rumors that some people died in the sweet dream, the most obvious thing for Aventurine is Robin's voice.

Robin is a singer who sings for Harmony. In this territory of Harmony, Penacony, her voice should have been more resonant and crisp.

However, she lost her voice and could only rely on some mechanical devices to speak.

If it weren't for Luo Feng's arrival changing Robin's status quo, Aventurine feels that Robin would still be in a state of relying on equipment to speak, let alone singing on the same stage as Furina.

So if he could find the reason why Robin lost her voice in this land of Harmony, perhaps it could also be used as a bargaining chip for the company to negotiate with the Family.

"Now that you mention it, it seems that is indeed the case."

"Oh no, because Robin's voice returned to normal, I forgot to pay attention to her physical health."

"No, I have to find her and ask her properly."

Furina left a sentence and ran directly past Aventurine to the room of Robin, who had become a friend, and the other passengers followed Furina's footsteps. ===== CHAPTER 1719 =====
