They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 540 Extra Chapter (5): The Escaping Sun

Philin was adept at seizing opportunities; his polite refusal of Qin at this moment was a triple win.

Anyone with a sense of justice would feel that Flint is a responsible and dependable person after hearing his words, and their liking for him would increase greatly.

At the same time, he successfully declined Jean's plan to leave everyone in Mondstadt for observation, because neither the Star Train crew nor the Nordkalé quartet wanted to stay in Mondstadt for an extended period.

Then, Philins took the opportunity to tell the Starry Sky Train crew his thoughts and needs.

Although he only had contact with the train crew for a few hours, his extensive experience in judging people was enough to conclude that the Starry Sky Train Crew was definitely not an evil organization.

At the same time, Philinus also came to believe in the universe depicted by the Star Train crew.

He felt that the fact that each member of the Star Train crew possessed immense power yet was so easy to talk to only prove that, in the universe, the Star Train crew's strength was not enough to rank among the top, and they needed to use their relatively mild temperaments to get along with everyone.

Of course, Flins came to this conclusion because he really didn't understand what it meant to be a man whose fate was unpredictable.

One's understanding of the path one is on determines the temperament and personality of the person on that path.

Even powerful stars have a healer, the "Pharmacist," who is easy to talk to in every sense of the word. As long as you find Him, you can receive the blessing of longevity.

The Starry Sky Train Group represents the pioneering and gentle side, so they seem reasonable and easy to talk to.

Try replacing him with Oswald. Once he decides that invasion is more cost-effective than negotiation (time is also a cost), the planets he conquers will have to face the fleet of the Market Development Department.

However, reality unfolded exactly as Philins had predicted. Upon hearing this, Lauma immediately stepped forward, clutching her chest, and said...

Yes, that's what I think too.

The Moon Hunters were on Xixi Island when we fled, and I'm very worried about the Frostmoon Children's current situation.

Since both Philin and Lauma have said so, Jean naturally cannot force her to stay.

Because of Dan Lei, the Starry Sky Train crew mistook the Wild Hunt Disaster for the Blood Sin Spirit Disaster. Knowing the terror of such a void disaster, they naturally wouldn't refuse such a reasonable request.

Seeing that no one was planning to stay in Mondstadt, Jean said...

"Since that's the case, then you all shouldn't leave empty-handed. Take some supplies with you."

I have heard that supplies in Nordkare are scarce. Since they are facing a disaster, I would like to donate a batch of medicines and food to the Frostmoon Children in the name of Gunnhildr as a small act of assistance to my friends far away.

Moving these goods will only take an hour or two, so you can take advantage of this short break to explore Mondstadt.

Qin donated medicine and food in the name of her family, and Lauma naturally did not refuse, but only expressed her gratitude.

Since Nordkale is already considered a harsh and cold place in the north, it is indeed lacking in various resources. Faced with the crisis of the Moon Hunters' frenzied hunting, the more medicine and food the better.

Since Lauma agreed, Philinus naturally had no objections.

Since Himeko repaired the Star Train, the train's delivery time has been much longer than its exploration time, and hauling supplies is a piece of cake for her, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.

So, the Starry Sky Train crew exchanged some Mora with Jean using common trade goods like gems for their own consumption. Danheng and Lauma stayed behind to receive the goods, and then, led by Ying, began to tour Mondstadt.

The Star Train crew's short trip to Mondstadt went smoothly. March 7th bought a bunch of delicious food at the Stag Hunter, Star bought a complete set of Seven Sages Summoning Cards at the Cattail Tavern, Welt replenished the train's party carriage with alcoholic beverages at Angel's Gift, and Himeko bought some souvenirs at Glory Wind.

Finally, the group appeared in Mondstadt at Liben's location for a limited time. Each person bought a box of blind boxes with excellent value for money, and after obtaining beautiful Primogems, their short journey came to an end.

Similarly, on the supplies receiving side, Danheng and Lauma did not encounter any problems.

Jean donated the supplies in Gunnhildr's name, bypassing the Knights' cumbersome procedures.

In addition, the Gunnhilds were one of the founding families of Mondstadt and were quite wealthy.

It is worth noting that the first patriarch and priestess of Gunnhild personally crowned Barbatos, who had just defeated the Lone King of the Tower, Dekalapian, and ascended to the position of the Wind God.

Now that her mother, Frederica Gunnhildr, the Alder Knight, is stationed at Thornport, Jean is naturally in charge of the family in Mondstadt, and providing some supplies is a piece of cake.

And so, the Star Train, fully loaded with medicine and food, as well as the Teyvat map given to it by Jyn, flew back to Nordkare once again.

With the map, the Star Train chose the sea route as much as possible when flying back to Nordkale, and soon returned to Nordkale.

However, when the train slowed down and Paha Island became visible to the naked eye, it was immediately discovered that there was fighting going on all over the island.

The Fools seemed to have come out in full force, fighting fiercely with the wild hunt outside.

Inside the Lunar Torque Test Design Bureau, bursts of light from explosions could be seen from time to time.

Seeing the battle in the distance, Lauma exclaimed in surprise.

"What's going on? Why are the Fools fighting with the Wild Hunt? Did the Wild Hunt infiltrate the Lunar Torque Experiment Design Bureau?"

However, just as Lauma was sighing, a red figure suddenly ran out of the passenger compartment, rubbing his eyes and saying...
"Huh, why did the train start moving?"

The newcomer was an incredibly cute little child, dressed all in red, carrying a brown backpack, with elf ears just like Demuse, and looking like he had just woken up.

The passengers on the Starry Sky Train exchanged bewildered glances upon seeing the child, before finally turning their attention to Sunday and Danheng, who remained on the train.

However, these two usually calm and reliable guys were completely bewildered at this moment, clearly unaware of when the girl got on the bus.

Fortunately, Ying recognized the girl, and she exclaimed in surprise.

"Klee! What are you doing on the train!?"

When Klee saw someone she recognized, she immediately walked up excitedly and said...

"Oh, it's Sister Honor Knight!"

Klee, the honored knight, was playing in the Knights when she suddenly discovered a huge train in the backyard.

Klee knocked on the door but received no response; however, the train door opened by itself.

So Klee went inside to explore. The train was so big that Klee got lost.

Then, Klee walked into a pink room filled with plush toys.

Because she was so tired, Klee fell asleep in bed. When she woke up, she found that the train had started moving.

"Waaah, weren't they saying trains won't run unless they're on the tracks...? Klee seems to have gotten into trouble again."

By the end, Klee was even pointing with her fingers, her adorable antics melting the hearts of everyone present.

After all, only MyHyper knows how many Travelers spent 648 RMB after Klee said, "Please! Please! Please help Klee!"

So, no one could bear to say a harsh word to Klee. It's normal for a child to run in and take risks when she sees something new and interesting.

Moreover, Klee said that she believed the train wouldn't depart if it wasn't on the tracks, and she didn't intend to sneak out of Mondstadt.

You can't expect local Teyvat kids to know what the Starship is, so Klee isn't at fault. The ones at fault are the two train attendants; they were negligent for not noticing the children running onto the train.

Of course, at this time, the Starry Sky Train crew did not know that Klee was not an ordinary child at all; her ability to sneak away was no less than her ability to make bombs.

Normally, train watchers don't patrol everywhere like security guards; going around twice a day is about right.

Ordinary people cannot escape the guard's perception, and those who can avoid perception cannot prevent others from entering.

The reason the train doors weren't locked was to facilitate the loading of goods onto the train later. So Danheng opened the doors to the cargo compartments at the rear early on, then went back to his room and entered the think tank to create documents related to Teyvat.

In his view, on Sundays, there were still people watching the train in the observation carriages.

However, the cargo hold was empty before the goods were delivered, so naturally no one answered when Klee knocked on the door.

The cargo hold was connected to the passenger car, so Klee explored all the way to the passenger car and went to sleep in March 7's room.

Coincidentally, after the train crew returned to the train, they stayed in the scenic and party carriages, and no one went back to their rooms, so no one noticed that little Claire had sneaked onto the train.

However, it's no use now that everyone has guessed the cause and effect of the matter, as Klee has already been taken out of Mondstadt.

Walter said directly

“Such a young child has gone missing. Her parents must be frantic with worry. It seems we need to go back to Mondstadt and take her back.”

"Nordkare is in such danger now; we cannot leave a child with us."

Walter's words made sense, but Lauma and Philinth were already extremely anxious upon seeing the fighting on Paha Island.

The Wild Hunt has even infiltrated the Fools' Lunar Force Experiment Design Bureau, so what happened to the Frostmoon Children's stronghold, whose defenses are far weaker than this place? And what about Summer Town?

Although the Star Train doesn't take much time to travel back and forth, Lauma and Philins really didn't want to waste a single minute.

So, Lauma said directly.
“Mr. Walter, I have no objection to sending this child back to Mondstadt.”

However, could the train first drop me off at Xixi Island? I'm very worried about the Frostmoon Children's people.

After Lauma finished speaking, Philin immediately followed up.
"I'm getting off the train too. The current Nordekare needs my fighting strength."

Lauma and Philin's request was reasonable; it was just a simple landing, which wouldn't take much effort, so Himeko immediately agreed.

However, immediately afterward, Ying raised her hand and said...

“Well, Mr. Walter, actually, as long as Claire stays on the train, you don’t need to worry too much about her safety.”

She is actually a member of the Knights of Favonius, a demolition master in Mondstadt, and is known as the strongest fighter in Mondstadt.

Also, I have a Dodo communicator that can contact Wendy, so I can use it to let Mondstadt know I'm safe.

Klee's mother is a witch who has been stationed on the border of Teyvat for many years; Jean is usually taken care of by her.

Upon hearing Ying's words, the others immediately looked incredulous, their faces practically screaming "Don't talk nonsense!"

However, Klee was a smart child with her own ideas. The moment she heard the words "Nordkare," she didn't want to leave. After Ying finished speaking, she immediately said...

"Knight of Honor is right, Klee is very strong."

No matter what kind of enemy she encounters, Klee can blow them away with her Bouncing Bomb!
Furthermore, my brothers Abeddo and Dulin wrote to me saying they are currently in Nordkale, and that Claire should help them if they encounter any danger!

Klee's words were met with strong opposition from the Starry Sky Train crew.

Out of basic moral principles, the Starry Sky Train crew would not allow such a young girl to participate in the battle.

However, the four members of the Nordkalé group seemed to be pondering Claire's words, with Flint even muttering to himself...
"Another genius girl like Aino? Specializing in explosives?"

At this moment, Columbia, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

"Actually, I also want to get off the train. I'm a little worried about Sandonne. Please drop me off when you fly over the Lunar Moment Force Test Design Bureau."

Don't worry, I can fly, I won't fall to my death.

No one agreed to Columbia's plan. Sending Columbia to the Moon Moment Experiment Design Bureau to face the Wild Hunt was like throwing lambs to the slaughter. The reason the Moon Hunters were fighting the Luminaries was because of the attack on Columbia.

At this point, the Starry Sky Train hesitated somewhat in the face of various demands.

Fortunately, Himeko made a quick decision.
"Given the extremely critical situation in Nordkalé, returning to Mondstadt is not advisable."

Thus, we split into two groups. Xing, Sanyue, and Danheng, the three of you will accompany Columbia to the Lunar Moment Force Test Design Bureau on the island ahead.

"This place is by the sea, Danheng. Your Moon-Drinking form should be able to contend with the Moon Hunters to some extent."

Himeko is using a declarative sentence here; she is very certain that Danheng is not afraid of the Moon Hunters.

After listening, Dan Heng nodded in reply.

"If the Moon Hunters are only as strong as they were last time, I can indeed contend with them using the seawater. Moreover, I am not afraid of group battles, and ordinary Wild Hunt creatures cannot break through my waves in a short time."

After Danheng finished speaking, March 7th also spoke.

"Himeko, don't worry. If it doesn't work, I can use the power of my other self. Although it's not as powerful as hers, it won't be difficult to clear out those Wild Hunt creations."

After March 7th finished speaking, Xing didn't say anything. She just took out a baseball bat and beckoned Demuse to look like she was itching to use the baseball bat.

However, Ying said at this moment
"I can also get off at the Lunar Moment Force Test Design Bureau; I have wind wings to glide down."

"But Xing and Sanyue, I remember you can't fly, how will you get down?"

Regarding this question, Xing confidently stated...

"Ying, don't worry, the power of pioneering will ensure that we land safely on any planet we fall from outer space."

In March, he once fell directly down, smashing through a stadium. After being reprimanded, he still had to do half a month of community service at the stadium as compensation.

The star was referring to the incident on March 7th where the Taikoo An Stadium was vandalized.

This was one of March 7th's most embarrassing moments, and she immediately covered Xing's mouth in exasperation, complaining...
"Uh, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, the area below is almost destroyed by the Wild Hunt, so it doesn't matter if we smash three holes."

However, the conversation between Star and March 7th really shocked the locals of Teyvat.

Some people may not understand what outer space is, but they do know that the people on this Star Train seem to treat falling from great heights as a daily occurrence.

Clearly, the path of exploration is very useful, and Yingdu wonders if he can follow the path of exploration and become an anonymous traveler.
