"Streamlined summary—"
Leon was no riddler; he knew this wasn't the time for long speeches.
"I was worried about you all, so I went to Luofu, met General Jing Yuan, reached an agreement, and by chance contributed a modest effort to Luofu."
"As for what I did, wait until things are over—then listen to my story; no rush."
[This is a reliable adult? Such a streamlined summary.]
[The "modest" in modest effort feels like the distance between the Milky Way and Centaurus.]
Stelle: "Fun much?"
Leon smiled: "Not much, not much—after all, serious business..."
All players: "..."
The community calls the 1.1 version main story the most fun plot since launch.
Countless people laughed from start to finish.
You call this... not much?
March 7th: "Great! After finishing this battle... bah, opening this Trailblaze, listen to Leon's story~~"
Stelle looked at her, wanting to speak but stopping.
"(Forget it; saying it might earn another elbow strike...)"
Ah Xian almost jumped from her chair.
"Little March, don't do this; I'm scared!"
[Star Rail meme way—this meme can't be played!]
[Possible it's not memeing?]
[Front, what do you mean—hinting March wife eats knife?]
Seeing barrage arguments, Ah Xian also wanted to speak but stopped.
These guys...
Possible—
March 7th's Flag includes Leon?
Either March 7th can't hear Leon's story, or March 7th can't hear Leon's story.
Dragon language is profound; same words often have multiple meanings.
Savor it.
No matter the meaning, she doesn't want it to become reality!
Leon smiled: "Alright, first listen to the general on business."
Jing Yuan returned a smile; expression gradually serious.
"When you arrived at Luofu, you said the Express Crew came to resolve the Stellaron disaster."
"At that time, Jing Yuan dared not agree, suspecting Stellaron Hunters had other motives. Now it seems I over-worried."
"Stellaron Hunters do have motives—ha ha, she sent you to deliberately escalate, so you fight alongside Luofu."
"Now, your sincerity is unquestionable. Luofu owes you gratitude; should not ask more."
"But—"
"As Diviner Fu said, Phantylia's appearance makes the situation uncontrollable."
"As Luofu General, I must borrow Dan Heng's power and ask your full assistance."
Welt was direct, expressing true thoughts.
"Even if Luofu's crisis unrelated to Stellaron, my personality wouldn't ignore—but my will alone doesn't represent the Astral Express."
"Explore, understand, establish, connect—the Trailblaze creed is these eight words."
"Journey perilous; upholding them harder than ascending heaven."
"Fear, danger, enemies, death... obstacles block the path; few Nameless continue."
At this, Welt's gaze slowly passed over companions' faces.
"Advance or leave—the Nameless' destination should be their choice."
"Like voting for the5 the destination on the Express—hand-cast vote."
Welt stated stance and attitude—he will help.
Stelle smiled at March 7th: "You 'principle-less' woman, what say?"
"Need you ask?"
March 7th proudly hands on hips, without hesitation:
"In such situations, this girl never retreats—you said it, heroes don't flee battle."
"Hmph, this girl will rise to the challenge."
"Sorry March, you're a woman of great justice!"
"Hearing praise from you is rare~~" March 7th cutely raised corners of mouth.
Then, both looked at Leon.
Camera followed—still familiar smiling squinting eyes.
He tilted head, shrugged.
"In the True Elixir Chamber, I said it."
March 7th: "This is a brand new choice; Express tradition can't be lost."
Leon's mouth curved higher, tone light and relaxed.
"Path full of thorns—how without a doctor?"
March 7th thumbs up, imitating Stelle: "Man of great justice~~"
Finally—
Except Leon, all looked at Dan Heng.
March 7th and Stelle together extended hands.
"Dan Heng, you... we..."
Seeing Dan Heng's face with more unusual emotions than before, March 7th ultimately didn't finish.
Jing Yuan sighed inwardly, turned to deep sea.
He said Dan Heng help with one thing—true.
But if Dan Heng unwilling, he wouldn't force.
Perhaps...
Precisely because it involves respecting Dan Heng's will, Leon appeared in Luofu?
Jing Yuan guessed so.
From his perspective review, Leon's appearance unrelated to Stellaron Hunters; original motive just revealed.
Just for companions' safety.
Motive same as Dan Heng, but essential difference in willingness.
Dan Heng was lured by Stellaron Hunters using Blade.
If even Leon manipulated by Stellaron Hunters' script, he wouldn't know what to think.
Fate's hand—unfathomable.
Dan Heng silent a moment, finally extended hand.
Jing Yuan complex inside, sincerely: "Thank you, Dan Heng."
Dan Heng noncommittal.
"I stand not as Nameless, for this trip's coming and going—I was manipulated, no freedom."
"But I will as Vidyadhara descendant fulfill my duty to Luofu."
March 7th relieved, smiled:
"Good, everyone as righteous as when arrived. So, general, any clever plans?"
"No clever plans—only a gamble. Gamble on Vidyadhara elders' half molting technique, gamble Dan Heng can regain High Elder memories."
" High Elder?"
March 7th stunned at Leon, then Dan Heng.
"...I thought Leon was just daily abstract, joking..."
"Indeed, I intended as joke—didn't expect Dan Heng really is High Elder."
Leon smiled:
"After this Trailblaze, you can have general tell old stories; if Dan Heng willing, he can tell himself."
"Wait—"
"Don't end up unable to tell everyone the story, okay?"
Ah Xian looked at camera.
"Brothers, am I overreacting? Imagination too rich, spirit too sensitive?"
[I think you are.]
[Hard to say; see if Murphy's law kicks in.]
[Done done, he just raised death Flag!]
[Young here, explain—what death Flag?]
[Heard of "after this battle, go home marry"?]
