"It's alright, let's keep going, we're almost at our destination," [Hanunu] said in a deep voice.
“There are self-driving bikes nearby, and also Sulphur Soda bottles that can be launched. Boss, can I use them to give those two a ride?” Assassin [Sambo] asked with a grin.
"No, his flying sword flies even faster. You can play with them slowly when you have time." [Hanunu] vetoed the idea.
"Exactly, real men fly with swords, why would they drive cars?" Meng Weiyu muttered to herself.
He deliberately told Caster [Xi Lian] what was on his mind, and then saw the other party chuckle with satisfaction.
The special manned flying sword was summoned again by [Projection Magic]. With the blessing of the level 110 [Escape Sword], the four of them flew towards the direction pointed out by [Hanunu] amidst the surprised and envious gazes of a group of passersby.
"We've arrived! This is our base camp!" [Hanunu] pointed to the fortress-like building in front of them and introduced it to Meng Weiyu and archer [Potio].
"It's actually [Morning Dew Mansion]!" Meng Weiyu was slightly surprised.
He didn't speak, but simply relayed this sentence and everything he knew and saw to Caster [Xi Lian].
【Hanunu】You really know how to pick a place... This is where the later Project Manager and 【Dream Master】Gopher Wood worked and handled daily administrative affairs.
"Damn it, you guys actually built a military fortress in this kind of interstellar metropolis!" The galactic cowboy showed an expression of surprise and admiration.
"We didn't build it; we just discovered it. Mr. Turdu (the first head of the Hidden Night Thrush) said that the building had been carefully modified and was very suitable for defending against outside invasions," [Hanunu] explained.
Upon hearing [Potio]'s words, Meng Weiyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
The construction of this "military fortress" and its subsequent transformation into a military fortress stemmed from internal strife within Pinocone after the expulsion of "Stone Boss".
It was in this conflict that Gopher, who had initially been devoted to the public good, was first attacked and injured by an assassin, and later lost his body in a murder attempt by the new generation of immigrants in Pinocchio...
No one can know the state of mind of the Sky Ring Clan's "Chicken Wing" old boy who experienced all of this. Perhaps it was the disappointment with reality, or the influence of the 12 star cores he personally divided, that transformed Gopher into a saintly, kind-hearted, authoritarian dictator with countless blood on his hands.
This priest-like man no longer showed tolerance or forgiveness towards his enemies. He used overwhelming force and cruel methods to suppress the immigrants while firmly grasping power.
He used every means to force everyone to take sides, making others believe in the "Same Association" and obey his commands.
He ousted Mikhail, who held differing opinions, from the management team, assassinated a large number of young dream-building talents in the Hidden Night Thrush family who refused to change their beliefs, and forced Fischer, the current head of the Hidden Night Thrush family, to make concessions.
Fischer's teacher was Professor Grax, and it was he and Mr. Turdu, whom Hanunu just mentioned, who established the [Hidden Night Thrush Family] and led dream-building masters to create wonders such as [Morning Dew Mansion]!
Looking at the black building before her, Meng Weiyu let out a soft sigh. The history of Pinocchio and her current predicament seemed like a giant circle, as if another new cycle had begun.
"What exquisite craftsmanship!" Perhaps deliberately misunderstanding Meng Weiyu's sigh, [Sangbo] flattered [Hanunu] on his behalf.
"Sambo, it's not like this is your first time here, why are you joining in?" [Hanunu] was somewhat speechless.
As they spoke, they had unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the [Morning Dew Mansion].
The gate was slowly pushed open by [Hanunu], and they were greeted by bouquets of flowers, cannon salutes, and applause.
Almost all the leaders of the resistance army gathered here to welcome the new caster and archer that [Hanunu] had mentioned.
At the back of the crowd, Meng Weiyu saw the somewhat timid rider [Huo Huo].
【Huo Huo】was also watching him at this moment. Their eyes met, and the girl, whose appearance did not match her age, smiled at him.
At that moment, a notification came from the system in my mind, the "Entertainer's Encyclopedia Box".
[Outer Territory Pioneer - White - Level 2 (0/10)]!
It really was her… Meng Weiyu breathed a sigh of relief. Among countless mysteries, finally one small stone had been untied.
She knew I wasn't Mikhail, but which historical figure did she represent?
Seeing the enthusiastic attitude of the people around her, Meng Weiyu also smiled.
He felt he didn't need to think so much; he figured he'd know everything after Hanunu's explanation.
Inside the conference room-like screening room, Ruler [Mikhail] was momentarily dazed upon seeing this scene, witnessing countless old friends gathered at [Morning Dew Mansion].
Since Gopher was invited by him from the Montor system after the Pinocone War of Independence, even the former did not know much about many of the people there.
After a moment of silence, even though Meng Weiyu and Ruler Gopher Wood didn't speak, he began to introduce himself:
"That bald old man is Magno, the head of the Oak family, a treacherous political prisoner."
"The lady singing is Asuna, the head of the Iris family, and a cosmic singer who was wrongfully imprisoned."
"Turdu of the Hidden Night Thrush family is a scholar who caused the company to lose a lot of money. He was retaliated against by the company and imprisoned here. Many people say he is crazy, but I think he is a pure scholar."
"Razzaka, with his gold teeth, is a corrupt official in the company's project department. Although the first head of this alfalfa family was a damned scoundrel, he was undeniably good at managing money..."
"That old liar (the fictional historian) ran away as soon as he showed his face; he's probably off sneaking off to mix drinks again..."
Mikhail introduced the familiar faces in the Morning Dew Mansion to the two people beside him in a calm tone, his voice calm and indifferent, like a stream that flows gently year after year.
Neither he nor the others at [Morning Dew Mansion] noticed that in the shadows of their blind spot, a dark mass was quietly moving!
Chapter 85 Servant and Faction
Inside the Morning Dew Mansion, Hanunu introduced Mikhail, played by Meng Weiyu, and Ternan, played by archer Potio, to the crowd, and then introduced the members of the resistance present to them one by one.
In this situation, he did not directly tell everyone that Caster [Xi Lian] was seriously injured and unable to move. He simply mentioned that Miss Lazarina was injured and was currently receiving secret treatment and recuperation.
Archer [Potio] quickly became friends with the rugged men who would later establish the hound family lineage, and began to "curse" the little cuties of the Interstellar Peace Company using his specially made synesthetic beacon's incredible speech.
Assassin Sambo boasted to those nearby about the battles they had encountered, as if he had personally participated in every single one.
"Is this guy just going to stand by and watch the whole thing?" Meng Weiyu listened silently to his boasting, feeling a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.
However, he really liked the scene in front of him. It felt like he had returned to his hometown and was having a lively reunion with relatives and friends at a wedding or a gathering of old friends.
A large hand pressed down on his shoulder with a slight force. Meng Weiyu turned around and saw the werewolf of the Habek tribe, Hanunu, behind him.
The rebel leader led him and Archer [Potio] to a corner of the mansion's hall and began the real introduction:
"As you can see, Sambo Koski is our side's assassin, the fox girl named Hoho is the Rider, and Suiyang, who is with her, calls himself 'Grandpa Tail'."
"The Berserker on guard duty on the edge of the city claims to have connections with the End faction. We all thought she was the [Omen Vanguard], but she denied the title and did not elaborate."
Upon hearing this, Meng Weiyu frowned slightly. Among the forces he knew of that worshipped the Doomsday Star God, the Doom King, aside from the [Ominous Vanguard] who focused on interpreting the Doom King's prophecies, he couldn't think of many other forces...
Is it the "Funeral Guide" scattered throughout the universe, recording the world of death?
In a flash, Meng Weiyu simultaneously informed the caster [Xi Lian] next to the system panel in his mind of his inner thoughts, and simply told her all the relevant information he knew about "Honkai Impact: Star Railway" in the form of [memories] without reservation.
It's probably based on the character design of the other party's main body in the game; I have complete trust in this girl who was summoned with [Phlia093] as her main body.
"From now on, I have no secrets about this world in front of you." The illusory figure projected in Meng Weiyu's mind smiled at her.
"Partner, I'll help you interpret and study this information properly." Caster [Xi Lian]'s illusory and transparent ritual sword emitted white light, turning the memories Meng Weiyu passed on to her into a book.
Seeing this scene in his mind, Meng Weiyu was momentarily stunned. For a moment, he even thought that the book was "As I Write".
Ultimately, they're pretty much the same thing...
He was somewhat lost in thought as he watched Xi Lian flipping through the pages of her book, engrossed in reading. At that moment, he felt a strong urge to find a camera to capture the scene.
“Berserker’s strength is quite terrifying, but I suspect there are similar beings in the opposing camp, so I’ve kept her as a trump card and plan to call her up for the final battle,” [Hanunu] said in a deep voice.
Meng Weiyu's attention returned to reality, and he realized that he had been momentarily distracted because of his conversation with Caster [Xi Lian], and had missed [Hanunu]'s introduction to the Berserker.
"Damn it..." Meng Weiyu cursed himself inwardly. He wasn't sure if the caster [Xi Lian] could help him recover the memories he had just ignored, or if he could perceive the outside world through [magic].
He turned his gaze to the distant assassin, Sambo, and decided that if Xilian couldn't help him later, he would ask this Masked Fool, who might not even have the Fool's Mask, and try to "exchange hearts" with him (Sambo's own term for this behavior in the game) to find out more about him.
"I've only met the Saber-class one once. She's the most terrifying being I've ever seen. She's not really interested in any of this. She didn't help us, but there are occasional rumors about her dealing with the company's jailers. Nobody knows where she is now," Hanunu said with some regret.
Meng Weiyu frowned slightly. Was this Saber from her own faction walking the path of [nothingness]?
Or perhaps she has already seen through the fact that this is the Holy Grail War, not Pinocchio's return to the past!
Not long ago, I had asked [Hanunu] if she knew what this world was, and her answer clearly indicated that she regarded this place as the Pinocchio of the past.
As for Archer [Potio], it's clear from the fact that this sea ranger was initially unsure whether the person playing "Lazarina" was Caster [Xilian] or herself that he felt like he had woken up to find himself transported into the body of a train guard [Tiernan] who looked remarkably similar to him.
It's just uncertain how much he actually knows about this Holy Grail War...
"Damn, so you're Lancer. You don't look quite right. Your 'gun' isn't that infinitely firing musket (rocket launcher), is it?!" [Potio] blurted out.
“Yes, I am Lancer, and I do have a gun, but I think a rocket launcher is more efficient.” [Hanunu] nodded, then explained expressionlessly.
This development and Hanunu's answer surprised him somewhat, and Meng Weiyu did not expect that his doubts would be answered so quickly.
"Damn, that's efficient! Senior Hanunu, you and Miss Samuel (Firefly) must have a lot in common." Meng Weiyu thought to herself.
He wanted to press for more information about his servant's abilities, but for some reason, a vague unease crept over him, so Meng Weiyu decided to ask the most important question first:
"Senior Hanunu, do you know which Servants are in the opposing camp?"
"So far, we only know that the other side has five Servants that have been exposed, and the remaining two have never appeared yet." [Hanunu] was very satisfied with Meng Weiyu's question.
“Three of them are the company’s warden and two of his ‘notable figures’.” [Hanunu] snorted coldly at this point. “The other two are a True Stinger, whose strength has reached Wang Chong’s level, and a meme monster capable of killing without a trace.”
"Galach's pet [Sleepy] - [What is heading towards death]? Or the monster that Lazarina encountered again [I don't know]?" Meng Weiyu's knowledge in the relevant area was very limited, and she could only think of these two boss-level meme monsters in Pinocchio.
Just then, [Grandpa Tail] suddenly appeared beside Huo Huo not far away, and shouted in a certain direction on the second floor:
Chapter 86 Dream Death (Part 1)
Upon hearing the words "enemy attack," Hanunu, standing next to Meng Weiyu, immediately pulled out a rocket launcher, while Archer Potio drew his pistol in an instant, like a cowboy about to engage in a duel.
Meng Weiyu's eyelids twitched as he looked at the rebel leader who was ready to launch a rocket launcher at any moment.
Such skillful movements, Mr. Hanunu, are you really Lancer?
"Or have times changed, and this rocket launcher really is your 'firearm'?" Meng Weiyu muttered.
While mentally complaining, he projected layers of transparent barriers around him in case of unforeseen circumstances.
The crowd within Meng Weiyu's sight stirred up quite a bit, but it did not descend into complete chaos.
Hanunu's men maintained order. Although no one spotted the enemy, everyone seemed to have complete faith in Tail's judgment.
This doesn't seem to be the first time something like this has happened. Meng Weiyu frowned slightly.
He quickly scanned his surroundings and found that there were no hidden people or objects nearby, within his field of vision where he could easily detect fluctuations in [magic power].
Is it another guy who can hide? Or is this enemy a real assassin?
"Partner, be careful! The opponent must be very confident to show up in a place like this!" Caster [Xi Lian] solemnly reminded him beside the system panel in his mind.
Meng Weiyu took a deep breath and focused his mind. At this moment, with the amplification of most of the [magic power] provided by [Xi Lian], he already had the stats and abilities of a Demi-Servant from the First Holy Grail War.
Earlier, while talking with others, he pretended to listen to them, but secretly checked his own panel as a Demi-Servant.
Within the [Performer's Aphorism Box] in his mind, the aphorisms on his panel hadn't changed much compared to previous battles; however, his current Demi-Servant panel was noticeably different from the first time:
[Sub-Servant (Temporary status can be lifted at any time)]: Meng Weiyu
[Job Category]: Caster
[Strength]: C
【Magic】: A
[Durability]: C
[Luck]: A (This ability decreases as the difficulty of the Holy Grail War increases)
[Agility]: C
[Noble Phantasm]: Unknown (Unable to use Noble Phantasm due to the effect of [Anti-Star Noble Phantasm - Pinocene])
[Team]: Red Team
[Inherent Skills]: [Territory Construction C+], [Item Creation B+], [(Pseudo) Demigod of Time A]
After Fu Li glanced at Caster [Xi Lian], after fighting Berserker [Jing Liu] and another version of himself, and after winning the first Holy Grail War and being strengthened, Meng Weiyu's [Strength], [Agility], and [Endurance] all received a slight increase.
Although he possessed less [magic power] than when he was a Demi-Servant, the total amount of [magic power] actually increased for both of them because they were in the Caster [Xi Lian] who was pretending to be seriously injured and leaving the stage!
Thinking about her current panel and the various abilities that could work together, Meng Weiyu calmed down with a serious expression.
Even though Hanunu and Archer Potio were right beside him, he dared not relax for a moment.
The other party's forceful appearance in this situation is very likely aimed at him!
There was an even worse scenario he didn't want to consider: that the other side had the formidable strength to wipe them all out!
A minute passed quietly, and nothing happened.
The quiet and orderly crowd began to make noise again, and the danger seemed to have been eliminated because of Suiyang's [Grandpa Tail] awareness.
Just as [Hanunu] was about to speak to maintain order, a sudden change occurred!
