Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 286 Sai Fei'er

I spent 20,000 stones to fight against 01 Heather, and only got a 00!

It's all crooked! My stone!

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

Stikosia, the land of the dead.

Here, deathly silence swallows all sound, with only the invisible wind howling and passing over the waters of the River Styx.

In the distance, a bright full moon hangs high in the sky, its cool light piercing through the clouds and falling precisely upon a ruined ancient city.

At this moment, in front of the main gate of the ancient city, stood four people from the realm of the living, who seemed out of place in this environment.

"All done! All three have been delivered safely! With that, the task assigned by the seamstress is complete."

The speaker tossed the coin in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Lin Qiong stood to the side, hands on his knees, eyes fixed on the ground, panting heavily, still shaken.

His heart was pounding like a drum; he was clearly still reeling from the shocking scene that had just unfolded...

Just recently, Xia Die touched Xing again in the treatment room.

After a brief moment of sensing, Xia Die uttered a statement that shocked everyone—

Xing's soul did not dissipate, but instead fell into a strange state, as if trapped in a maze, unable to find its way back.

The most crucial point is that the soul of the star did indeed remain in the world of Onpharos.

This means that the authority of the Titan of Death can influence the star, helping her break free from the shackles of death and return to the world of the living.

Upon learning this, the heavy atmosphere that had filled the treatment room instantly vanished without a trace, as if blown away by a gentle breeze.

After a period of waiting, until Xing's body fully recovered and she was able to move freely.

After bidding farewell to Feng Jin, the group left the Dim Light Courtyard and strode towards the Cloud Stone Palace, eager to deliver the news to Aglaia as soon as possible.

Although it was still unclear where Xing's soul was trapped, Lin Qiong and the others had no time to worry about that now.

It would only take two days for Lai Gushi to repair the carriage, while the power that Fu Li left on Xing could only last for fifteen days.

This means they can't waste a single second; they must act immediately...

Upon hearing this, Aglaia, without hesitation, immediately decided on the safest option available at the moment.

First, retrieve the spark of the Titan of Death, then have the Butterfly participate in the trial and allow her to take over Cenatos's authority.

In this way, the demigod Xia Die can use the power of "death" to accurately locate the soul of the star.

Finally, after finalizing the action plan, Aglaia immediately introduced a demigod named "Saifeier" to everyone.

It is said that only she can lead everyone unimpeded to the realm where the dead reside.

That's why Lin Qiong looked so disheveled just now—

He was carried on Saifei's shoulder like a sack, speeding all the way from Ohma to Stikosia.

Although the whole process took less than half a second, Lin Qiong still felt dizzy after landing.

"Ugh... No, I really can't stand this..."

Lin Qiong slowly straightened up, and after the dizziness subsided slightly, he mumbled weakly.

He really never wanted to experience that feeling again, which was like being on a roller coaster going through a dozen or so loops.

After he had fully recovered, he looked up and saw Sai Fei'er standing on a boulder.

She was gazing at the surrounding scenery with great interest, occasionally sniffing the scents wafting in the air.

"Hehe, I think I smell treasure."

Sai Fei'er gazed at the ancient city in the distance, her eyes suddenly lighting up with excitement.

She immediately turned around, gracefully leaped down from the boulder, and landed steadily in front of them, saying:

"Alright, you guys go ahead and do what you need to do."

"Given that seamstress's work style, I should have to get you all back safely before I can get the commission money from her."

"So, before you finish your business, I'll go to the city and see if I can find anything of value."

Before anyone could react, Sai Fei'er flicked a coin from her hand.

The moment the coin was thrown, she flashed and disappeared from the spot as if by teleportation, leaving only a gentle breeze behind.

Upon seeing this, the people present were slightly taken aback, and it took them a while to come to their senses.

Lin Qiong raised his hand and scratched his hair, breaking the silence first, and said helplessly:

"Great, our guide has run away. Does anyone know what to do next?"

His gaze slowly swept across the completely unfamiliar area, finally landing directly on the dilapidated ancient city in front of him.

"To find a spark in such a large ancient city, the three of us alone would probably not be enough in fifteen days."

"unless......"

Lin Qiong narrowed his eyes slightly, and stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

"Unless what?" Xing asked curiously.

“Unless that demigod from earlier is willing to help us search,” Lin Qiong shrugged and replied calmly, “at her speed, she could probably search the entire city in just a few minutes.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Die's face fell, as if she had recalled some unpleasant memories, and her body trembled involuntarily.

She then quickly rejected the suggestion:

"Well... if we want to persuade Lady Saifeier to help, I'm afraid we'll have to pay a considerable price."

"The price?" Lin Qiong looked at Xia Die, his eyes full of doubt. "What price?"

Xia Die gently bit her lower lip, her expression somewhat solemn as she slowly spoke:

"Gold...the price of money."
