Pull, pull, pull, pull, pull!
If you dare release her, I dare pull until I explode!
This was Little Gui's first thought upon seeing Aglaea!
After completing all this.
She took a few steps forward on the water's surface, her back to the Strife Titan's remains, calm and composed.
"This is not Nikador's true form, merely one of its many divine vessels."
"The Kindling is not here."
The golden threads caught up to her.
Converging at her chest.
And at that moment, the Strife Titan's body dissolved into countless golden Fragments and vanished.
Outside the Holy City.
The monsters, sensing the dissipation of the divine body, began to scatter.
And behind a large tree...
Trianne cautiously peeked out half her head.
The small wings on her back fluttered and flapped.
Quietly following behind the monsters...
Seeing this scene,
Little Gui couldn't help but chuckle: "So those little wings really can fly, hahahahahahahaha..."
The scene shifts.
Aglaea slowly walked toward the group.
"Truly the leader of the Chrysos Heirs, just look at her presence!"
Little Gui was still marveling.
And Aglaea spoke:
"Two new allies of Okhema, welcome to Amphoreus."
"This welcoming banquet may not have been elegant, but it helped dispel our doubts. From now on, you are honored guests of the Holy City and esteemed friends of the Chrysos Heirs."
The last time we were honored guests was in Belobog...
At this moment,
Two options appeared for the protagonist.
[Hello, Miss Aglaea.]
[Her eyes...]
Although genuinely curious about Aglaea's eyes.
Her pupils seem very pale, and lifeless...
Similar to Kafka's vibe!
Could it be that this leader is also wearing the same colored contacts?
But after all, it's the first meeting,
And she's a prominent figure in Amphoreus. It would be quite rude to directly comment on her peculiarity to her face.
So Little Gui chose the greeting option.
Unexpectedly, the next moment,
Dan Heng stepped forward and said: "Miss, your eyes..."
No!
Dan Heng, Dan Heng!
Your emotional intelligence is just too low!
Who asks something like that upon first meeting someone?
You're really putting me in an awkward spot here!
However,
Aglaea didn't seem too bothered.
She smiled slightly: "Curious about these eyes? I am not blind; on the contrary, I can see far more than ordinary people."
"Those who carry the golden blood always possess traits beyond the common folk. For me, it is my senses. I no longer need light to measure the world; the wind carries messages to me along golden threads, delivering countless strands to my fingertips."
"Just like at this moment, the virtues of you two flow like a warm current, pleasing my skin."
"Whew..."
Little Gui let out a long sigh of relief.
Though she's a leader and has great presence,
She speaks so gracefully and is very courteous to us.
Now we can relax a lot more!
[She speaks so poetically...]
Dan Heng nodded: "Indeed, on par with Sunday."
...
"Brother Sunday making a guest appearance ("
"Sunday: ?"
"The Riddlers, a specialty of the psychic types."
"So what Aglaea means is... she can't see but can perceive?"
"More like she can see. But compared to sight, she relies more on senses like touch."
"I feel like sleeping whenever I hear Aglaea talk..."
"If only I could sleep with my head on Aglaea's lap [drooling]"
...
The pleasantries concluded.
Nearby, Phainon said with a hint of sorrow: "Nikador (the Strife Titan)'s avatar..."
"...Has the trial meant for me not yet arrived?"
Aglaea asked: "Following a single thread of fate, you have written the first stroke of the opening chapter. How does it feel?"
"To be honest, not great. I thought it would be more difficult."
"Teacher Trianne followed those fleeing soldiers. Was that also part of the plan?"
Aglaea: "Naturally. We had foreseen this attack and had no intention of wasting such a perfect opportunity."
"After Nikador, the Strife Titan, descended into madness, its fortress vanished into the mist, its whereabouts unknown to all. But now, defying all expectations, it has launched an assault on Okhema..."
"Then the Holy City shall unearth its hiding place and sound the horn of counterattack."
Seeing this.
Little Gui suddenly revealed a look of excitement!
"Hahaha, everyone!"
"My earlier research has finally come in handy!"
"While progressing through the Amphoreus storyline, the loading screens provide corresponding hints."
"And I've memorized every single one of them!"
"Among them was this piece of information—"
"[Castrum Kremnos: A massive mobile fortress, a city of warriors who worship Nikador. The Castrum Kremnos People take pride in fighting to the death and are renowned throughout Amphoreus for their strict discipline.]"
"That's right! Castrum Kremnos is a city that can move!"
"I suspect that back when Strife fought the other Titans, it carried its home along..."
"Not only does this avoid the awkwardness of being raided at the source, but it also allows them to fight with all their might in every battle—fighting while carrying their fountain, how could they possibly lose?"
"No wonder it became Strife!"
...
"So that's how it is, I wouldn't have known if you hadn't said it..."
"Is she actually a genius!?"
"I'm not the least bit envious that Little Gui can make a living streaming Honkai: Star Rail..."
"External brain, activate!"
"Xianzhou: I understand, a great victory!"
""Nikador's Moving Castle""
...
Phainon sighed: "It's all connected, one link after another..."
"I promised them that once the situation stabilized, I would explain everything about Amphoreus to our allies."
"But Okhema has just emerged from a calamity, and there are still many shaken citizens who need reassurance. Aglaea, could I trouble you to take over?"
Aglaea nodded: "Our two esteemed guests have given their all for the Holy City. I will naturally ensure they are well taken care of."
After these polite words,
she suddenly closed her eyes.
As if speaking to herself, she said:
"That which does not exist in the prophecy, yet was woven into fate by me, is not limited to just this one instance."
"Hmm?"
Dan Heng seemed somewhat intrigued but was interrupted by Phainon.
"You two, come find me at the Marmoreal Market when you tire of stories. Regardless, I owe you a proper reception."
A moment later.
Aglaea softly asked: "So, where shall we begin?"
At that moment!
Dan Heng's expression shifted!
He spoke up: "Miss Aglaea, could you wait a moment?"
"Since the turmoil has subsided, we would like to first fulfill a mission: to leave a Trailblaze beacon here."
"I assure you, it will not bring any negative consequences—please consider it a ritual of our journey."
Aglaea seemed somewhat puzzled.
Muttering these two key terms to herself: "Trailblaze... beacon..."
But she seemed to think the guests wouldn't cause any major disturbances and allowed them to proceed.
"It's fine. Please, go ahead."
After receiving Aglaea's permission.
Dan Heng quickly signaled to Stelle with his eyes.
Stelle immediately pulled out a glowing orb.
It hovered in the air.
Surrounding it floated a ring of Fragments like a stellar ring, refracting different spaces.
Then,
The substances fused and converged in an instant.
At the top and bottom, two conical masses formed the anchors.
This signified,
It had been planted.
Inside the live stream.
Players witnessing a Nameless placing an anchor for the first time were stunned!
They all stood up!
Real-time comments exploded instantly.
...
"?"
"!!!"
"So that's how it came to be!"
"Just planted it like that, all fresh and moist?"
"With this one insertion, the train will have energy from now on, wow!"
"So that's how it works!"
"The anchors on the map before must have been placed by Nameless of the past."
"Praise Aha! No… praise Akivili!"
"Aglaea: Wait a minute? What did you two just plant in my palace?"
"Aglaea: Is it too late for me to take it back now?"
