角色故事•四(解锁条件:角色等级80)
风波后的匹诺康尼,活力依然。
那座金碧辉煌的都市,是奢华迷离的商业天堂,也是她一直渴望拜访的胜地。
「你也是逐梦客吧?这身装扮可不多见啊。」
猎人穿着的异乡人不知何时走到她身边。
「当然,我也是。别看我现在这样,总有一天,我会把克劳克影业买下来!你呢?」
「如此说来,小女子也勉强算半个吧……
「一直想着当有一日漫游星海,去往不同的世界,联结各地的贸易。可惜……」
她没有再说下去,异乡人若有所思地点点头,举起苏乐达向她致意,一饮而尽后,转身离开。
归乡之路本就漫长,但她还是选择于此停留。
未来不止一路,她的渴望也不止于归乡。
「这位女士,来点苏乐达?」
她转过头,是一个推着车的商贩。
「…看您的穿着,应该来自罗浮仙舟?多年前我就跟着老板去过一趟,那巨大的舰船,繁华的样子,我到现在也忘不了。
「那一次我们前往鸣火商会拜会,接待我们的使者停云小姐,倒是和您有几分相似,不知道您是否认识她……
「女士,女士,你在听吗?」
她望向匹诺康尼的星空,在尚不可见的远方,人们正在涌来,人们正在远去。
「抱歉,我刚刚在想一笔能以小小杠杆撬动大鳄的『大生意』,一本万利,却也九死一生……」
「你在犹豫?」
她莞尔一笑。
「是犹豫过…不过终于是拿定了主意。
若是小女子此番登场,能迷了那些大手的眼,那么也算是行往更远的天际了。」
Character Story: Part IV
• Unlocked at Character Level 80
Penacony remains vibrant after the storm.
That gilded metropolis, a paradise of luxurious and indulgent commerce, is a destination she had always longed to explore.
"You're a Dreamchaser too, aren't you? I don't see many people dressed like you."
An outlander in hunter's garb approaches her before she realizes it.
"Of course, I too am one. Don't let my appearance fool you. One day, I'm going to buy Clock Studios! What about you?"
"In that case, you can also consider me as some sort of a Dreamchaser..."
"I've always imagined roaming the starry seas, traveling to different worlds, and establishing trade everywhere. Unfortunately..."
She falls silent and the outlander nods thoughtfully, raising the SoulGlad in her honor. After gulping down the can of SoulGlad, he turns to leave.
The road home is already long, yet she chooses to pause here.
The future holds many paths, and her longing is about more than simply returning home.
"Care for some SoulGlad, my lady?"
She turns her head toward a vendor pushing a cart.
"... Judging by your attire, you must be from the Xianzhou Luofu. I traveled there with my boss many years ago, and I still remember the massive ship and vibrant atmosphere."
"When we visited the Whistling Flames merchant guild, the messenger who received us, Miss Tingyun, looked rather like you. I wonder if you know her..."
"Ma'am, ma'am, are you listening?"
She gazes at Penacony's starry sky. People are coming and going in the distance yet unseen by her.
"Apologies, I was just contemplating a "major deal" that could leverage a small advantage to move giants — a venture with immense returns, but fraught with perils...."
"Are you hesitating?"
She smiles.
"Yes, I have hesitated... but I've finally made up my mind."
"If I can dazzle those powerful figures upon my entrance, then that would count as having journeyed to the farthest reaches of the sky."
