Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

Two Blades Against the World, progress cleared (100%)

Unveiling the Edict of Nothingness: Progress (30%)

In just a few tens of minutes of contact, he had already completed the analysis of the "main body" part. It wouldn't be too difficult to replicate the first fourteen imperial edict swords now. However, even if he replicated them, they would only be toys similar to the Divine Keys. Only the two swords of the World-Bearing Swords would be somewhat useful.

In fact, with his current strength, ordinary Divine Keys and Guardian Blades are basically useless. Although he has not stepped into the realm of Commanders in his destiny, his strength has undoubtedly reached the level of a Commander.

Regarding star rating,

It's basically a foregone conclusion.

“In the dream, I accepted your commission. Although I don’t have this memory, I have a way to preserve it.”

"You need me to find the Sea Ranger and lure him to you, right?"

"Yes."

Huang Quan nodded, and then explained to Emiya without any attempt to hide anything.

“I have a relic from the Sea Patrolman that I need to return to him.”

"A bullet."

"You know a lot."

"Of course, I even know that the person who gave you the bullets never told you where he came from."

"...All I know is that his name is Tiernan."

"His name is Boreklin Tirnan."

Emiya told Yomi the person's full name, and then said directly, "He is a meritorious official who made great contributions to the Sea Patrol Knights. He achieved a lot of results in the battle to assassinate the Great Lord of Annihilation, Zhu Luo. In addition, before becoming a Sea Patrol Knight, he had another important identity."

"The nameless passenger of the Star Train, one of the three nameless passengers left behind in Pinocene ten Amber Ages ago, one of the heroes of the prison's successful independence, and a close friend of the clockmaker Mikhail."

"The bullet he gave you represents the merits he made as a Sea Ranger. As long as a Sea Ranger fires it, all Sea Rangers will rush from all directions of the universe, regardless of the reason or the cost. It has the power to reverse cause and effect. At the moment it is fired, all Sea Rangers in the past timeline will receive a signal, giving them time to respond to the signal. When the gunshot resounds across the starry sea, the short-sighted Sea Rangers will swarm in."

"So, could I see that bullet too?"

After a moment of contemplation, and also based on her inexplicable trust in Emiya, Huang Quan finally took out the bullet that Tirnan had entrusted to her to deliver to the sea patrol ranger. Emiya clearly detected the presence of "spirit" on that bullet.

Suddenly,

He laughed.

"I cannot overcome the blockade of nothingness, but ultimately, there are other forces that can resist 'nothingness,' and this is one piece of evidence."

The power of the hunt is fighting against the "nothingness," so its function and spirituality have not been completely eroded.

"Huang Quan, next, I will let you see two old acquaintances at the same time."

As he spoke, Emiya took out another relic from his storage room: a cell phone he had once sent out, which still retained a faint trace of spirituality.

"I refuse the return of the Twin Heavens Shield!"

Having extracted two portions of spiritual energy, Emiya immediately activated Fullbring to begin repairing them.

The power of the Void Residual attempted to destroy the activation of Fullbring, but... it was ultimately based on the power of the Star God, and even contained the 'remains of the Star God's body' as the foundation for the creation of the Shield of the Six Flowers.

Blocking that faint power of nothingness, the Fullbring ability was quickly activated, and in about twenty minutes, Emiya had restored the two complete souls.

A white-haired girl,

A brown-haired young man.

"Him!! And that child is also 393..."

Even though she couldn't extract much emotional depth from the scene, witnessing this miracle still made Huang Quan instinctively stand up. Her gaze fell on the two spiritual entities, and a long-lost, burning warmth began to surge within her chest.

In a daze, I could see streaks of color...

The deceased,

Will they be able to return?

Then,

you……

My comrades, my kin... Will you one day return like them?

She lowered her head, gazing at the Wuzhi Decree Blade in her hand. Although she didn't realize it herself, a slight, unintentional smile crept onto the corners of her lips.

In the desolate and barren scorched earth of despair,

A vibrant green shoot is struggling to break through the soil.

"One day, I will go to a deeper place, and then... sever 'nothingness'."

By then, with his abilities, perhaps he will be able to win you all back as well.

"wait for me."

She murmured softly, and at the same time, the two souls floating in front of Huang Quan opened their eyes simultaneously.

then,

The moment their eyes fell upon Huang Quan, they almost instinctively spoke.

"What are you doing here? Have you also completely fallen into nothingness?"

Chapter 297: I really like one of Tirnan's quotes.

Memories were severed the moment I was plunged into the icy, stagnant water.

As Tirnan gazed at the girl before him, the hazy memories in his mind gradually began to resurface.

he died.

There is no doubt about this.

The moment he sank completely into the stagnant water, he had a premonition that he would never have the chance to open his eyes again and see this world.

but,

The current situation,

But it felt unfamiliar to him.

The lavish decor and brightly lit halls...

No,

So, the lowest level of your nothingness is actually a hotel?

Tirnan fell into deep thought.

He didn't know how to describe the complex feelings he was experiencing at that moment.

"So this is what the world at the end of the stagnant water looks like? Amazing! I'm starting to understand everything; I've reached a place even deeper than Aquitaine!!!"

"Ok?"

Hearing the shouts beside him, Mr. Tirnan turned his head slightly, glanced at the unfamiliar white-haired girl, and couldn't help but ask,

"Are you also an anonymous visitor?"

“An anonymous visitor? I’m not. I’m just a simple pioneer.”

The white-haired girl answered cheerfully, then restlessly turned her head, constantly looking around.

"I plunged into the depths of the stagnant water, trying to reach its lowest point, but it seems I overshot it and ended up in a new world. Could this place be somewhere in that new world?"

"Rushing into the depths of stagnant water—the stagnant water you're talking about, is it the one I understand? Inside IX?"

"That's right!!!"

This girl's brain is even more abnormal than Mikhail's.

Mr. Tirnan immediately had a feeling of keeping his distance. Although he had fought with many factions in the universe and even assassinated the Extinction Lord, he had never thought of challenging Ix. Not to mention him, even the Navigator, who was known as the Light Chaser, probably never thought of such a strange way of suicide.

Does this girl have a grudge against her own life?

This isn't how you expand a business.

but,

Perhaps for her, this pioneering spirit also holds some kind of significance?

Although it's incomprehensible, everyone has a different philosophy about exploration.

Tirnan had no intention of interfering, but it was better to keep a distance from girls who weren't quite as bright as they seemed.

"I've brought you back from the New World. This is Pinocchio."

Once their excitement had subsided somewhat, Emiya spoke to the white-haired girl.

"Do you remember? You found my phone when you were in the deep, stagnant water."

...Found a cell phone in the depths of stagnant water?

Are there any experts? !

Tirnan turned his head and looked at the man who had spoken. His appearance came into view; he was very handsome, the kind of handsome that's striking, even more handsome than Mikhail. He scrutinized the man, then his gaze lingered briefly on his chest.

of course,

It wasn't that he had any particular fondness for men's chests; he simply saw something familiar.

Golden ticket,

Without a doubt, it's a ticket for the Star Train.

"You... are the Nameless Guest?"

"This ticket is displayed in such a prominent position, is there any need to question it, senior?"

"Senior, um... so this godforsaken place really isn't the bottom of stagnant water, hell, or the underworld, but Pinocchio?"

Looking at the magnificent decor and bright, spacious design, Tirnan couldn't help but fall silent again. Back in the day, most of the houses they lived in in Pinocchio were simply converted shipping containers.

It's not that we're asking you to suffer the hardships of the older generation, but you can't just be upgraded to this level of treatment.

damn it,

Even I, a veteran in this field, have never experienced this!

"How many years have passed since that time?"

After a moment of silence, Tirnan couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "The changes at Pinocchio are obviously not something that can be done in three or five years; it must take at least several decades, right?"

"Ten Amber Ages".

"...You mean Duo Shao??"

[Mood value from Tirnan +55]

"More than 1,100 years ago."

A thousand years can pass in the blink of an eye?

[Mood value from Tirnan +88]

"We are currently in the Amber Period 2157."

"Mikhail, what happened to Mikhail afterward?"

After being held captive for a good twenty or thirty seconds, Mr. Tirnan suddenly remembered his dear friend. Ten Amber Periods had passed, and Mikhail probably didn't even have an urn anymore. But his first thought was still to know what had become of his dear friend who had been left behind in Pinocchio.

"He's still alive. I just saw him jumping around in the lobby, saying, 'Welcome to Pinocchio.'"

"??????"

[Mood value from Tirnan +99]

Bush doves,

Is your emotional threshold always this high?

As the nameless old man kept piling up emotion points, Mr. Emiya happily accepted them, but also inquired for a while about the other man's mental state.

"And there's Senior Lazarina. When I first came to this star system, I seemed to have some kind of dream entanglement with her. She left me a set of coordinates, and it seems that she is also alive and kicking in the depths of the memory domain."

"ah????"
