Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 134 The Storm Dragon Attacks

"You just mentioned that Tianli won't pay any attention to us... What are your thoughts?"

Walter Young pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses gleaming with a look of inquiry.

Upon hearing this question, Lin Qiong was slightly taken aback, and then a helpless expression appeared on his face.

Who could have predicted that his casual remark would now be regarded as some important information by everyone?

That being the case.

In order not to reveal that he actually knew how the plot would unfold, he could only try to deceive the audience by mixing truth with falsehood, just like before.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiong glanced at Ying beside him and immediately had an idea.

So he slowly replied, "Oh, that? Didn't Ying say that she and her brother came from 'outside the world'?"

When Lin Qiong mentioned her, Ying nodded and gave a soft "hmm" in agreement.

She then added, "Yes, my brother and I did come here from another world, but that was a long time ago."

At this point, Ying's gaze began to drift into the distance, as if she were lost in memories.

Seeing this, Lin Qiong continued, meeting everyone's gazes: "So, we, like Ying, actually came to this world from 'outside the world.'"

"If that's the case, why did the so-called guardians of justice only prevent Ying and her brother from leaving this world, but not prevent others from entering it?"

"Why is that?" Xing asked at just the right moment, like the straight man in a crosstalk performance.

"Hmph~" Lin Qiong first smiled mysteriously, then spread his hands, "I don't know either."

"Uh... I don't know where to begin complaining." March 7 rolled her eyes at Lin Qiong and said helplessly.

Lin Qiong shrugged, a faint smile playing on his lips: "In short, since Heaven hasn't directly attacked us who entered this world, it means that as long as we haven't left this world, we shouldn't be considered a threat."

"As for why He would prevent people from leaving this world, the answer to that question may only be found when we leave this world."

After he finished speaking, he quickly glanced at the reactions of the others.

Ying was looking down, seemingly lost in thought, while Paimon circled around her, seemingly not paying much attention to what Lin Qiong had said.

Walter Young, on the other hand, frowned, as if he were analyzing the logic in the words.

As for Xing and March 7th... Lin Qiong looked at them with a helpless expression.

The two men were staring intently at Walter Young, clearly waiting for him to draw his conclusions.

After a while.

Walter Yang raised his head, slowly scanning the crowd gathered around the table, and said, "Qiong is right. We cannot draw any conclusions about the true intentions of Heavenly Principle at this time."

"We can only verify it after Himeko and Dan Heng have finished inspecting the train."

At this point, Walter Young paused, then turned to look out the window at the tranquil night.

The moonlight, like a curtain, gently shone through the window and covered the wooden table, adding a touch of coolness to the dimly lit room.

“It’s getting late.” Walter Young withdrew his gaze, a hint of fatigue appearing on his face. “Miss Amber will be taking us to the Knights’ headquarters tomorrow, so everyone should get some rest.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and began to look for suitable places to rest.

soon.

The sounds on the second floor of the tavern gradually subsided until they returned to silence, leaving only the occasional whisper of the night breeze passing by the window.

And so, Lin Qiong lay down on a wooden table and fell into a deep sleep, spending his first night on the continent of Teyvat.

......

The next morning.

As dawn broke, a series of loud, crashing sounds came from the windows.

Lin Qiong, who was closest to the window, was startled awake by the sudden sound. He quickly got up and opened his sleepy eyes to look out the window.

A sudden gust of wind enveloped the entire Mondstadt, the sky was filled with dark clouds, the clouds churned and rolled, and a huge black shadow could be seen faintly in the clouds.

On the street, shop signs creaked in the wind as pedestrians hurriedly searched for a corner to shelter them from the gale.

"What happened?"

At this time.

Walter Young's steady voice came from behind.

He gripped the Star of Eden tightly, strode to Lin Qiong's side, and looked out the window.

Walter Young frowned, a serious look on his face, and muttered in confusion, "How could such a strong wind suddenly come out?"

at the same time.

The others were also awakened from their deep sleep.

Hearing the commotion, March 7th hurried to the window, looking at Walter Yang and Lin Qiong with a tense expression, and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Were we wanted again?"

Her voice betrayed a hint of panic, suggesting that March 7's experience on Yalilo-6 had made her particularly sensitive to the current situation, mistakenly believing that she and her companions were once again wanted.

at this time

A series of hurried footsteps suddenly echoed on the stairs leading to the second floor of the tavern.

"Boom boom boom——"

Charles quickly climbed the stairs to the second floor.

He stood at the top of the stairs, looking at Lin Qiong and the others with concern, and asked, "Are you all alright, guests?"

“We’re fine, thank you for your concern, Mr. Charles.” Walter Young turned around at the sound of his voice and asked, “But…why did such a strong wind suddenly start blowing outside?”

Upon hearing this question, Charles couldn't help but sigh, his voice tinged with helplessness: "Oh, don't even mention it, that Stormterror is back again. Every few days it comes to circle over Mondstadt, stirring up a gust of wind."

“Although no one was hurt, how are we supposed to do business?” Charles complained as he clenched his right fist and slammed it hard on the stair railing with a loud “bang.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong's eyes lit up, thinking, "Isn't this a great opportunity?"

This is a good opportunity to resolve the issue of Tvalin's madness.

In this way, there's no need to borrow the Sky Harp or go to the Wind Dragon Ruins.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiong immediately suggested to everyone, "Why don't we help the residents here get rid of that dragon?"

"I agree!" March 7th stretched his stiff neck, his face full of displeasure. "If it weren't for that dragon, we wouldn't have had to spend the night in the tavern, and my neck is now numb from sleeping so much!"

Sleeping on the wooden table all night left March 7th feeling sore all over, as if her body was about to fall apart.

"In any case, let's go outside and check the situation first."

Although Walter Young did not express his agreement directly, his action of walking towards the stairwell indicated his choice.

He planned to go downstairs and go out to see the current situation in Mondstadt, in order to understand just how serious the impact of that dragon was.

At this time.

Seeing this, Charles, unaware of the group's strength, quickly advised them, "Guests, the Stormterror should leave on its own in a while. You should stay here; it's far too dangerous outside!"

however.

His attempts to persuade them to stay failed to stop Lin Qiong and the others. They walked past Charles one by one and headed down the stairs to the first floor.

As Lin Qiong, the last member of the operation, passed by him, he looked at him and said calmly, "Don't worry, we're very strong."

After leaving those words, Lin Qiong followed Walter and the others out of the tavern.

Charles was left alone on the second floor, listening with mixed feelings to the bell ringing as the tavern's wooden door was pushed open.
