角色故事•四(解鎖條件:角色等級80)
風波後的匹諾康尼,活力依然。
那座金碧輝煌的都市,是奢華迷離的商業天堂,也是她一直渴望拜訪的勝地。
「你也是逐夢客吧?這身裝扮可不多見啊。」
獵人穿著的異鄉人不知何時走到她身邊。
「當然,我也是。別看我現在這樣,總有一天,我會把克勞克影業買下來!你呢?」
「如此說來,小女子也勉強算半個吧……
「一直想著當有一日漫遊星海,去往不同的世界,聯結各地的貿易。可惜……」
她沒有再說下去,異鄉人若有所思地點點頭,舉起蘇樂達向她致意,一飲而盡後,轉身離開。
歸鄉之路本就漫長,但她還是選擇於此停留。
未來不止一路,她的渴望也不止於歸鄉。
「這位女士,來點蘇樂達?」
她轉過頭,是一個推著車的商販。
「…看您的穿著,應該來自羅浮仙舟?多年前我就跟著老闆去過一趟,那巨大的艦船,繁華的樣子,我到現在也忘不了。
「那一次我們前往鳴火商會拜會,接待我們的使者停雲小姐,倒是和您有幾分相似,不知道您是否認識她……
「女士,女士,你在聽嗎?」
她望向匹諾康尼的星空,在尚不可見的遠方,人們正在湧來,人們正在遠去。
「抱歉,我剛剛在想一筆能以小小槓桿撬動大鱷的『大生意』,一本萬利,卻也九死一生……」
「你在猶豫?」
她莞爾一笑。
「是猶豫過…不過終於是拿定了主意。
若是小女子此番登場,能迷了那些大手的眼,那麼也算是行往更遠的天際了。」
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."
