Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 128 Entering Mondstadt

soon.

When Amber arrived at the scene of the explosion, the sight before her made her instinctively stop breathing.

"Hiss, what is this...!?"

She glanced around and gasped.

Looking around, all that could be seen was a Hilichurl corpse that had been cut in half at Amber's feet.

Everywhere you look, everything has been reduced to scorched earth, as if a devastating disaster had just occurred.

The scorching earth reeked of burning, billowing black smoke rose slowly, and embers still burning flickered gently in the breeze.

The group of Hilichurls who had gathered here had vanished without a trace, leaving no evidence of their existence.

At this time.

Lin Qiong stood in the center of that scorched earth, his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword, the Heavenly Fire Greatsword planted upside down in the ground.

Perhaps sensing Amber's arrival, he turned his head slightly and glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey, you've come at the right time. The Hilichurls blocking the road have been cleared out, so we can go straight into the city through this road."

Lin Qiong said it casually, as if he had just done something completely ordinary.

And that is indeed the case in reality.

Apart from the moment he arrived, when a Hilichurl wielding a wooden club suddenly appeared in front of him, catching him somewhat off guard, the subsequent battles caused him almost no major trouble.

After he swung his sword horizontally, he cleaved the wooden club-wielding Hilichurl in two.

The remaining Hilichurls immediately spotted Lin Qiong.

They picked up their makeshift weapons, roared, and charged towards Lin Qiong.

It seems they wanted to use their numerical advantage to eliminate this outsider.

however.

Faced with this situation, Lin Qiong simply swung his sword in an ordinary manner, without even using the zero rated power of the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

His sword erupted with devastating flames, instantly incinerating all the Hilichurls charging towards him, along with the surrounding environment.

And so, this scene unfolded before Amber's eyes.

at the same time.

Ying, Paimon, and the three members of the train crew arrived just in time at the edge of this land that had been ravaged by fire.

Compared to March 7 and Star, who had already witnessed the power of the Heavenly Fire being unleashed, and Walter Yang, who already had a deep understanding of the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

When Luminous and Paimon saw the scorched earth, their reactions were almost identical to Amber's at that moment.

Ying's brows furrowed, her eyes widened involuntarily, and she was overwhelmed by a strong sense of shock.

She simply couldn't imagine what kind of power could cause such massive destruction.

Paimon, floating beside Ying, was equally stunned by the sight before him.

He covered his mouth with both hands, his small face filled with astonishment, and whispered, "This...is this...the power possessed by the Fate Walker?"

Before coming here.

On March 7th, the mention of "commander" in front of the two women instantly piqued their intense curiosity.

Then.

Under their persistent questioning, Walter Young gave them a concise explanation of the relationship between the "Star God," the "Commander," and the "Destiny Walker."

After listening to the explanation, Ying and Paimon only had a basic understanding of these concepts.

They still find it hard to imagine what kind of power could destroy a planet, or even an entire galaxy.

But at the moment.

When the two women saw Lin Qiong, the "Walker of Destiny," display such astonishing destructive power, they were filled with shock.

The vague understanding that had been in my mind seemed to become clear at this moment.

But if they knew that this was just a casual strike from Lin Qiong, they would probably be incredibly surprised.

Sudden.

A shout from ahead interrupted Amber, Luminous, and Paimon's thoughts.

"The sun is about to set. Are you planning to stand here forever?" Lin Qiong asked, looking puzzled, as the three of them stared blankly at the scorched earth beneath their feet.

He had no idea what the three men were thinking; he just hoped to reach Mondstadt safely before the sun completely set.

Lin Qiong looked up at the sky and saw that night and dusk had drawn a clear line between them.

Countless stars twinkled in the sky on the other side, symbolizing that night was about to fall.

"Ah! They're here! They're here!"

Hearing the call, Ying, Paimon, and Amber snapped out of their daze, hurriedly stepped over the scorched earth, and ran quickly toward Lin Qiong and the others.

Finally, led by Amber, Lin Qiong and his group completed the last leg of their journey and successfully arrived in Mondstadt.

However, what Lin Qiong and the others didn't know was...

Shortly after they had all left, a gentle breeze suddenly swept across the scorched earth, and a green figure drifted down with the breeze.

"Sigh, it's not easy to enjoy a nice cider drink in peace."

The green figure sighed helplessly, while gently stroking the scorched ground with its hand.

As soon as a gentle breeze swept by, large patches of green shoots miraculously began to sprout from that scorched earth.

A short while later.

This scorched earth, once ravaged by flames, is now covered by lush green vegetation, regaining its former vitality.

"Hmm, that should be fine. If we hurry back now, we should still be able to have one last drink!"

The figure dressed in green nodded in satisfaction, then transformed into a gentle breeze and disappeared into the greenery.

......

Inside Mondstadt.

Shortly after arriving in Mondstadt, Lin Qiong and his group suddenly discovered something particularly embarrassing.

Amber told everyone.

Due to the recent frequent activity of dragons around Mondstadt, monsters often escape into the city under the cover of night, causing widespread panic among the residents of Mondstadt.

So every night, every household would close their doors and windows tightly and stay inside, fearing they would become the target of monster attacks.

therefore.

Mondstadt was deserted at night, and shops with no customers chose to close for the night, leaving only one tavern in the distance still brightly lit.

"The question is, where will we stay tonight?"

Lin Qiong stood under a dim street lamp, looking around with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He hadn't expected that Dvalin's mere flight around Mondstadt would have such a huge impact.

"Well... unfortunately, our hotels in Mondstadt have been booked by the Fools and they have announced a ban on all unauthorized personnel from staying there, which is why many travelers are unwilling to stay overnight in Mondstadt."

Amber scratched her head awkwardly, her face full of apology.

But soon, Amber seemed to have thought of something, and a look of excitement suddenly lit up her eyes.

She quickly continued, "Oh! By the way, if you don't mind, I know a tavern in Mondstadt called 'Angel's Gift.' It's comfortable, and the owner is really nice. You could probably stay there for the night."
