Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 476 Elder Katniss

The "Garden of Life" that Xia Die speaks of is said to be a seed given to the holy city of Ohma by the Titan Thersis, who is associated with "reason." Now, this seed has become a garden, teeming with life.

Yun told the children to go and rest first, and then they could discuss their experiences on March 7th in Onphalus.

After all, they were exhausted from all that work.

He himself passed through the gates of the Marble Palace, walked through the rather long corridor, skillfully ignoring the Ohmers who came out of the bathhouse and sat in the courtyard... as well as the large group of little trinkets that had somehow followed behind him.

—It should be an animal.

According to Xing, these little animals are called chimeras and are very cute.

Very cute.

The star emphasizes the tone.

Yunzhi: ...

Once he's done with this busy period, he'll go back to the outside of mythology to adjust the puppets there.

After all, not being able to see anything is really unsettling.

The elevator smoothly transported him to the Garden of Life.

Yun immediately spotted Aglaia and Tibo above their heads, bearing their code names.

It's too obvious.

As for the person standing in front of them spouting nonsense—although she didn't hear what the other person was saying, Yunzhi felt that the other person wasn't saying anything nice.

Taking a few steps closer, Yun Zhicai finally heard what the other person was saying.

"...Think about the Golden War, think about the final fate of those 'heroes'."

Judging from the tone, it should be a threat, not a warning.

"Ms. Aglaia".

However, there are always some parasites in every place, and it seems they can't make a fuss. Yun Zhi ignored them and looked directly at Aglaia:

"I've come to confirm with you about the Golden Clan's next move."

The three people in front of her were still exchanging veiled barbs—Tibo seemed to be involved, but she didn't feel involved at all—when she heard Yunzhi's voice, Aglaia turned around to look at him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you again, Mr. Yunzhi."

What are the next moves of the Golden Clan?

Aglaia admitted that for a moment, she felt a bit disconnected.

While she was arguing with the Senate about whether to continue her journey to seek the fire, the distinguished guests from outer space wanted to discuss the next steps with her.

With the Citizens' Assembly imminent, she wasn't even sure if her journey to pursue the fire could continue.

The journey to pursue the fire had been interrupted before, for an obvious reason: it was related to the "Golden War".

"Which Titan is your next target? I'll lend you a hand while I'm in a good mood."

Yunzhi looked at Aglaia.

Tibo...was overlooked because she was too short.

Aglaia replied gently, "We just went to Nicardoli and we're all exhausted. As for the next steps... we'll need to gather the Golden Blood to discuss them."

Remembering that there was someone else standing next to her, Aglaia calmly introduced them:

"This is Lady Katniss of the Senate."

Yun Zhi didn't even raise an eyebrow.

It's just data, there's no number on its head, so don't worry about it.

However, Yunzhi still expressed some opinions:

"With external threats escalating, the fact that they still have time to fight for power and profit in such an environment makes me underestimate the complacency of the Onfaros. I really hope my children can learn from you, remaining calm even when mountains collapse, as carefree as the dawn machine carried by Kephale."

At this very moment, everyone watching the live stream: ...

Lan looked at Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan.

The general and the diviner being watched: ...QAQ We want to too, but we can't.

Aglaia was clearly taken aback by Yun Zhi's undisguised disdain:

"I'm sorry you had to see this."

It would be embarrassing for anyone to have their internal conflicts exposed to outsiders.

Yun sighed, "Delaying the march is a major taboo, but it seems you're not worried about the Titans' counterattack?"

However, it is clear that although Oronis expressed his dissatisfaction with the god-killing humans in the Temple of Fate, he did not seem to intend to kill them.

Aglaia replied, "The journey to obtain the fire is already halfway complete. Most of the remaining Titans are benevolent, so we need to think carefully before we acquire their fire."

Oh, the rest of the Titans are all good, so it's not good to just kill them without thinking, right?

It's a really simple reason.

"While considering this, let's also deal with the internal differences. Although it's true that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, if you poison the water, it won't just be the fish that die."

Yun glanced sideways at Katniss:

"You're none of my business. Get out of my sight."

Yunzhi's tone could be described as provocative.

Katniss didn't respond, only letting out a cold laugh:

"I knew you were a distinguished guest of the Golden Clan. How dare you run rampant in Ohma just because Aglaia gave you a guarantee?"

"Let me correct you. It's not that I'm relying on Jin Zhi's power, but rather that I'm in a good mood right now, so you don't need to act according to my mood."

Yun Zhi was indeed in a relatively positive mood: "To be honest, after looking into your actions, I really don't know whether you're right or wrong."

Katniss is the "Purger," which, as the name suggests, means assassin.

Or rather, they are assassins who specifically target those of the Golden Descendants who have golden blood flowing through their veins.

Assassinating someone with the "destruction" factor within them is hardly a bad thing from an outsider's perspective.

It's also because the fate of [Destruction] is infamous.

Yun's words were somewhat complex, and Katniss couldn't tell whether he was supporting or opposing them.

But she could still understand Yunzhi's first sentence.

—Do the Onphalus people have to follow his lead?

"Sir, aren't you a little too confident in yourself?"

Kaines said heavily, "You dare to be so bold because you helped Aglaia and the Golden Blood defeat the enemies of Ohma? Let me remind you, the Golden Blood's administration of the Holy City is only temporary, a temporary trusteeship of power during a critical period."

Katniss sneered:

"It is laughable that extraterrestrial visitors think that the Golden Blood are the rulers of Ohma and that they can boss people around under their protection."

Yunzhi: ? ? ?

He was starting to lose his composure.

No... if I'm not mistaken, this entire Holy City is now protected by the Golden Blood, right? Aglaia used golden threads to protect the entire Holy City so tightly that it's impenetrable, and then they say something like... "Entrustment of power during extraordinary times"?

Yunzhi had heard this kind of joke more than once, but each time she heard it, it brought her a new feeling.

Yun looked at Aglaia.

—Did you not tell the Senate what his personality was like at all?

Aglaia: ......

Although she couldn't see it, Yunzhi's gaze was so intense that Aglaia couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

The Senate also has spies everywhere in Ohma, so Aglaia certainly doesn't need to go out of her way to exchange intelligence with them.

Yunzhi and Katniss didn't exchange more than a few words, but it was obvious that he had given up on trying to communicate amicably.

He immediately changed the subject:

"While buying time is important, there's a saying: how can you truly eliminate a wild beast without first releasing it from its cage?"

Katniss never expected Yunzhi to change the topic so absurdly.

Ignoring Katniss's hesitant words, Yun said lazily, "So it's none of your business. If you have any other plans, please keep them to yourself. I will give Onpharos a chance to move towards the future. Although everything has a price, I believe—"

The handsome young man suddenly revealed a threatening smile:

"—You probably don't want to be the price."
