Xu Qiong suddenly turned his head; Phainon was holding a 'Communication Tablet', messing around with Mydei.
The latter covered his forehead with his hand, looking completely speechless.
The footage playing in the livestream had clearly entered the territory of Okhema, and even Mydei made an appearance at this time.
Xu Qiong suddenly smiled, then gave Cyrene a helpless expression.
However, Cyrene only let out a 'hee' sound; having her conversation interrupted didn't make the smile on her face disappear.
Instead, because of Xu Qiong's reaction, she looked as if she had successfully played a prank on him, her expression gaining a bit more secret delight.
Immediately after, Cyrene sincerely took Xu Qiong's hand: "There's no need to rush to promise me anything."
"Because we still have tomorrow, the tomorrow after tomorrow, the tomorrow after the tomorrow after tomorrow, and many more unknown tomorrows."
"I will always stay by Trailblaze's side, by your side~"
The pink-haired girl in front of him tilted her head and smiled.
If possible, Xu Qiong hoped this was the true eternity, rather than the predetermined cycles of the future.
"Alright." Xu Qiong gripped her hand with a sense of relief, "Then wait until that time to share your wish list with me."
"I also need to invite you to visit the Astral Express as a guest, oh wait..."
Xu Qiong wanted to say that perhaps he should ask Pom-Pom for another Astral Express passenger ticket.
Or, as Xu Qiong put it, he wanted to fulfill in the future the Trailblazer journey that hadn't been realized in the dream.
Of course, it was still too early to say these things.
The Astral Express Crew had just entered Amphoreus, and his side was still trying to let the Aha Star ascend and be reborn.
Rather than an end, it was more like the true beginning!
Leaving the unfinished words for the future, Xu Qiong pulled Cyrene up, preparing to see how the outside world was doing.
Phainon and Mydei were paying attention to the main storyline.
In Guinaifen's livestream, after Dan Heng and Stelle met Phainon and Tribbie, they followed them through many twists and turns, finally saving the residents of Januspolis and preparing to bring them back to Okhema. Along the way, Tiresias's true name was revealed for the first time.
During the process, they learned from Phainon's narration that the end of the world was approaching, the Titan had turned into the Mad King, and the minions of strife were threatening the world at every moment.
The Chrysos Heirs would defeat the Titan, reclaim the Primal Fire, and then complete the Re-Creation!
The background was grand, and it sounded decent enough, but who knew it would get real? As soon as Guinaifen entered Okhema, a big scene appeared!
Falling rocks were everywhere in the sky, the followers of Nikador of strife were attacking the city in force, Okhema was engulfed in the flames of war, and wails echoed everywhere.
[My god! How is it like this as soon as I open my eyes? Is this a movie-level opening?]
[Is it for real again? Isn't saving the world just a joke? It's actually the apocalypse!]
[I will replay "The Absolutely Safe Okhema" on loop!]
[Meteorites, meteorites are falling!]
[Help, I'm not being a Trailblazer anymore. I like to tell little lies; actually, I've always been a kind citizen of the Xianzhou!]
In accordance with the virtues of Trailblazers, they save what they encounter. Facing the minions of strife, Dan Heng and Stelle naturally chose to fight Nikador together.
The two went forward and met Trianne and Trinnon in turn, and then Mydei.
[I recognize this! This looks like the Three Children of Fate from the previous PV! Three lolis, triple the happiness!]
[Trinnon is so cute, Trianne is so cute, they're simply cute to death!]
[Upstairs, open the door! The Cloud Knights are here to bring warmth!]
[Is this red one that lion from the PV? So arrogant?]
[Move aside, don't stop me, let me spar with him!]
[Upstairs, no one is stopping you...]
After watching the CG of Mydei's appearance.
Phainon pointed at the comments on the tablet and then looked at Mydei in front of him. He didn't speak, just smiled.
"Mydei, haha..."
As he laughed, he started mimicking the dialogue inside, even deliberately lowering his voice to make his tone more oppressive:
"Listen... I've told you since we met, whether in the past or the future, the Xuanfeng People will never agree to shake hands and make peace with you!"
"Hahaha~ Mydei, shake hands and make peace..."
Mydei: "..."
Mydei crossed his arms with a serious expression and didn't speak, but his heavy breathing could be heard.
Everything either erupts in silence or perishes in silence.
If not for the soundless silence, it would be deafening.
In the main storyline, Mydei's first appearance involved mocking Phainon while saying some very cool words to himself.
At first, it might seem very domineering, but listening to it now only felt exceptionally hard to keep a straight face.
But it made sense back then; after all, the Xuanfeng People were still pursuing meaningless glory, so they would naturally have that attitude.
"Family, the character models in this game are so detailed?"
"Since the Trailblazers are playable, will the game Author sell these characters in the future?"
"This lion named Mydei looks ridiculously strong at first glance..."
In front of the screen, Guinaifen was already starting to itch for action.
She didn't want to spend money, but she really couldn't help it.
Along the way, she had a blast farming mobs with Imbibitor Lunae and the Harmony Trailblazer.
If the free characters were already like this, what would the game Author's paid characters be like?
For example, these locals on the scene looked varied and interesting, making Guinaifen genuinely look forward to it.
While thinking this, everyone had already arrived at the Cloudstone Market.
Seeing the mess nearby, which was full of monsters, it was clearly a tricky situation.
"There's no one nearby; the citizens should have been evacuated."
"But this is the Cloudstone Market, an important residential and living area of the Holy City. If we force a breakthrough, it will definitely cause unnecessary losses..."
Phainon thought for a moment: "However, our reinforcements are here."
[Eh?]
[There are reinforcements?!]
As the words fell.
"Lord Phainon, and... two guests."
Looking ahead, purple butterflies fluttered around fancy pauldrons, and antiling flowerss bloomed step by step like a dark path at the end of the long road.
The sea of death flowers was immersed and enveloped in fragrant murmurs as that person walked out from beyond the line of sight.
Step by step, wherever she passed, all living things withered and fell.
"Welcome to Okhema."
The livestream froze for a moment.
[Uh... reinforcements? Just this? One person?]
But soon, someone realized something.
They started spamming the chat.
[Holy crap! Isn't this the mysterious butterfly woman from the PV? The Ashen Hand attendant who carries a dragon, she actually appeared here?]
[This pressure... her ability seems very easy to identify, right? Those monsters just withered instantly upon touch?!]
[Wait, it's too scary, family! I feel like I'm going to be corrupted through the screen! I can't breathe!]
[Did the final boss actually appear in the starting village? Interesting. Get ready to fight, kids...]
[This is clearly one of our people, are you all blind?]
Castorice's arrival instantly cleared the path.
She would lead everyone to continue forward.
"In the face of death, even strife will hesitate. I... am the shadow of death."
Dan Heng and Stelle followed behind, but the next sentence made everyone gasp, their hair standing on end.
"Please keep a distance of five paces."
Xu Qiong stared at the number of online viewers in Guinaifen's livestream, which had exceeded ten thousand, but felt someone tugging at him at that moment.
"Lord..."
He turned his head.
He found that Castorice was tugging at his sleeve, looking a bit nervous and uneasy.
She was staring at the screen. Xu Qiong seemed to understand something, so he reached out and pulled Castorice into his arms, then covered her eyes:
"There, there, we won't watch. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid~!"
