Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 416 Treasure: The Poor Lone Wolf

What kind of shady deal Old O'Connor and Scott were making was unknown to them. By the time Yun Zhi came to their door, their conversation had already ended, and Scott had left with a Memory Maker.

That kid didn't even dare to look at him.

"Ho ho ho ho, the True Lord has arrived."

Old Ao Di warmly poured Yun Zhi a brightly colored drink: "Welcome, welcome."

Yun smiled and sat down:

"Mr. Audy, I received your letter and have given it much thought..."

Old Emperor smiled, his eyes narrowing:

"Does the True Lord want to ask why I did this?"

"There's no need to ask that. It's all about money and power anyway, nothing more."

Yun waved his hand: "I want to know where you got that Holy Grail you're talking about."

Old Emperor paused for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"Hehehe, so the True Lord is interested in this. Well, it's not exactly a secret anyway."

He looked at the display screen in front of him:

"I got it from a masked fool."

Well, according to past practice, it should have come from Sambo.

These guys on the path of [Joy], from the Fool to their pinnacle Aha himself, seem to have the ability to break down dimensional barriers.

They can get all sorts of things from all sorts of places, and Yunzhi felt that she should get used to it as soon as possible.

He wouldn't be surprised if Aha found Earth that day.

...Speaking of which, didn't Hanabi find a familiar place a while ago?

Yunzhi still remembers Hanabi saying that she saw an older sister in Taiyi's Dream at Pinocchio and that she was going to find her... Did she find her?

"Beginning the summoning of Heroic Spirits signifies the official start of the Holy Grail War. Lord, would you like to summon now?"

Old Emperor quickly steered the conversation back to the Holy Grail War.

"Mr. Otti, who do you think I will summon?"

Yun raised her hand, looking at the bright red Command Seals on the back of her hand.

Old Audi shook his head: "I can't guess. Although I said I could summon heroes from Pinocchio's history, I really can't imagine what kind of people you could summon."

The hero who summons Pinocchio?

Not necessarily.

There are quite a few members in the Immortal Boat Alliance as well.

Old Emperor speculated that the servant summoned by the Clouds was most likely not one of Pinocchio's people.

and so……

"Controlling Servants requires drawing power from the Master, and I possess enough power to support just how many Servants you think I can control?"

Yunzhi's formulaic smile looked somewhat stiff.

Old Aude seemed to have guessed something; his expression didn't change, but he burst into laughter:

"Hohohohoho, I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of heroes the True Lord can summon."

"Yes—what kind of people can it summon?"

Are they historical heroes of the Immortal Boat Alliance? Although they are immortal beings, countless heroes and brave men have emerged in the battles against the evil creatures.

Those people will ascend to the Throne of Heroes, won't they?

"My Lord, Old Emperor Au also has a question he would like to ask you."

A glint of light flashed in the old man's eyes: "For some reason, I have a feeling that the Immortal Boat Alliance has been expanding outwards rather aggressively lately... Could you give me a heads-up? At least so that Pinocchio can weather this crisis safely?"

The Immortal Boat Alliance has indeed become a bit too aggressive lately.

The chaos caused by the Great Lord of Annihilation on the Immortal Ship was considerable, but it was easily suppressed. However, the biggest problem was that the Immortal Ship Alliance did not rest and recuperate, but instead showed its fangs without hesitation, tearing at any interests it could get its hands on.

Whether it's Yalilo-6 or Pinocchio, they've been trying every possible way to extract profits and hold them in their hands.

Thinking of the guardians of the Immortal Ship Alliance who could communicate directly with the Star God, Old Emperor felt he could ask them a few questions.

—Perhaps this True Lord knew something, which is why he did this?

Yunzhi did not pose as the riddle solver:

"In that divine war, [Procreation] perished, [Order] was assimilated by [Harmony], and the global situation underwent a major reshuffle. The followers of Taiyi declined and are now living in anonymity. [Gluttony] has disappeared without a trace, and countless planets were severely damaged, turning into dust and disappearing into the universe..."

"A war of gods is no small matter; when gods fight, mortals suffer. Before the next war of gods begins, I have to make plans for my Immortal Ship Alliance."

Old Aodi: Did I just hear some keywords?

"The upcoming...war of the gods?"

"I don't know if a fight will break out, but if one does, the Immortal Boat Alliance will have to gain the upper hand."

You'll either be easily eliminated as a side laner in the God War, or you'll draw power from the God War to become stronger.

You have to choose the right path from these two.

Old Emperor was deep in thought.

Did they weather the crisis safely?

If they can weather this crisis safely, the "family's" power can also rise dramatically.

Perhaps, the Pinocchio "family" still has a chance to compete with those "families" of higher rank.

"Thank you for your generosity, True Lord."

Old Austria expressed his sincere gratitude.

Yun Zhize stood up: "I've asked what I wanted to ask, so I'll take my leave now. Oh, by the way, Mr. Audi."

As she opened the door, Yunzhi turned her head, her eyes filled with eager anticipation:

"That guy from the market development department you called is a real loose talker. You'd better cut ties with him as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, if he provokes me, I'll inevitably take my anger out on several other people."

Old Emperor: Suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"You're joking. I just think that a show would be more eye-catching if an ordinary person could become the final survivor."

"To attract attention?"

Yun scoffed:

"If you hadn't invited me, this ending might have happened. Unfortunately, you invited me, and I accepted."

"Then the winner of the Holy Grail War, without a doubt, will be me, and can only be me."

Regardless of Old Emperor's motives in inviting him, the moment Yun Zhi decided to participate, the outcome was already predetermined.

Old Emperor certainly knew this.

But actually, the goal of "attracting the audience" has already been achieved, hasn't it?

He couldn't help but ask:

"My Lord, if it were you, what wish would you make to the Holy Grail?"

"What wish do you make?"

Yunzhi stepped out of the door and walked into the dark corridor.

But his voice lingered in old Audi's ears for a long time:

"If it truly has this ability, then let me become the Star God."

----------------

That's right, Old O'Connor brought Scott in to compete with Pinocchio shareholders, the head of the family, and a group of powerful figures in the world. To put it bluntly, it was just a publicity stunt.

But Yunzhi also knew that Scott was just a "backup".

His participation in the Holy Grail War was truly a major boost for Pinocchio.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that he has a Star God constantly by his side and N Star Gods randomly spawning around him...

Which one isn't more useful than Scott?

So, that unfortunate lone wolf probably didn't know that it was just a "backup plan".
