角色故事•二（解鎖條件：角色等級40）
對年幼的格妮薇兒來說，她的整個世界就是護國公府邸和大宅前繁榮的街市。

老師們說，她的家族歷史悠久、聲名顯赫，這幢府邸也足有幾個琥珀紀的歷史。但歲月似乎未曾在上面留下分毫的痕跡，它仿佛獨立於時間的法則，將這家人庇護在永恆的平靜與美好之中。

父親要求長兄、二哥和長姐接受政治教育，他希望能將這顆星球的未來交給他們中的某一位。至于格妮薇兒和其他弟弟妹妹…父親只希望他們能在這個安寧的樂園中，度過平靜幸福的一生。

格妮薇兒愛父親。在面對政敵時，他像刺尾蟒一樣可怕；但面對女兒時，他又像極了一隻龐大又溫暖的山嶽絨兔。

在她的記憶中，父親願意為她做任何事，甚至肯在她盛大的生日會上，扮演被女英雄格妮薇兒斬殺的地靈。要知道，這種權臣家孩子的生日會，可是會有政敵到場的——為了讓她開心，父親根本不在乎落人口實。

後來，格妮薇兒長大了一些。她開始聽到一些風言風語——父親架空王權、謀害忠良、貪得無厭…她願意相信這些都是政敵的謊言，但她知道這些並不都是謊言。

但很快，這些就都不再重要了。

反物質軍團大舉入侵，父親率軍守護王都，寸土不讓。死訊傳來時，格妮薇兒暈倒了。再次醒來時，她已被塞進了一艘飛艇。弟弟妹妹們在身邊抽泣，長兄和長姐被繩子捆得嚴嚴實實，二哥無奈地說：「先別給他們倆鬆綁啊，他們不肯逃的。」

格妮薇兒望向舷窗外，母親身披戎裝，背對着逐漸升空的飛艇，指揮着不願坐以待斃的家丁。在稍遠一些的地方，虛卒們正在拆毀護國公府邸。在更遠一些的地方，整條街都在燃燒，焦黑的屍體像泥土似地散落各處。

對年幼的格妮薇兒來說，她的整個世界被人從銀河中抹除了。

……

我本來自那域外的朝廷卡美洛，有着兄弟姐妹一十二個。
日子本是平安又喜樂，怎料得那燼滅禍祖造作了兵禍。
父母親操起干戈抗敵報國，也無奈軍團勢如破竹我家亡國破。
長兄帶着弟妹幾個東漂西泊，流落到公司的礦星上傍人籬落。
爭搶些殘羹冷炙草間求活，也免不得風急天高牛衣病臥。
長兄本是個苦勞人，色厲膽薄，終被人逼成了草寇，銀海翻波。
他只劫商旅從不打家劫舍，人都說他是草莽的英雄濟貧扶弱。
他帶着那數百個窮鬼成群結夥，佔山為王將我們弟妹養活。

Character Story: Part II

• Unlocked at Character Level 40

As a child, Guinevere's entire world was the Lord Protector's mansion and the bustling streets before its doors.

Her teachers said that her family has a long and distinguished history, and even this mansion has stood for a few Amber Eras. However, time did not seem to leave any traces on its stones. As if it stood apart from the rules of time and space, it forever protected this family in eternal peace and joy.

Her father trained Guinevere's eldest brother, second-eldest brother, and eldest sister in politics. He wished to hand the future of this planet to one of the three. As for Guinevere and her younger siblings... He only wished they would have a quiet and happy life in this tranquil paradise.

Guinevere loved her father. He was as terrifying as a ridge-tailed python when facing his political enemies. Yet in her presence, he softened and became warm and cozy, like a big fuzzy mountain hare.

She remembered that her father would do anything for her. He would even willingly play the role of an earth spirit to be struck down by Guinevere, the heroine, at her birthday party. The birthday parties of upper-class children would often have the family's enemies turn up as well — However, her father didn't care at all about being a laughingstock for all the attendees. He was happy as long as she could be happy.

Then, Guinevere grew up a bit. She started to hear rumors — How her father made the king a puppet, persecuted the honest courtiers, and gluttonously gained riches... She was willing to believe that all these were lies spread by his enemies. However, she knew not all of them were lies.

Soon, however, these concerns ceased to matter.

Everything changed when the Antimatter Legion attacked. Her father led the army to protect the royal capital, refusing to back down. Guinevere fainted when she heard the news of his death. She was already sitting inside a space shuttle when she woke up again. Her younger siblings were sobbing next to her, while her eldest brother and eldest sister were bound tightly in ropes. Her second-eldest brother said to her in a despondent tone, "Don't untie them just yet. They are still trying to go back."

Guinevere looked outside the window. Her mother was dressed in armor and had her back turned to the space shuttle slowly lifting off, taking command of servants who were still willing to fight. Further away, the Voidrangers were tearing apart the Lord Protector's mansion. Even further, entire streets were on fire, with charred corpses scattered everywhere like heaps of soil.

For little Guinevere, it was like her entire world had been erased from the cosmos.

...

My home world, Court Camelot. My siblings, a dozen lot.
Our days, peace and joy to boot. Until Ruin Author led woes afoot.
Nation breached, arms they took. Legion marched, defiant we stood.
We siblings escaped without a root, into an IPC mine all covered in soot.
Meager scraps are what we fetch, homeless and foodless at a stretch.
Eldest brother, timid once was. Back-breaking work, to piracy he was forced.
Mercantile he waylaid, genteel he relayed. Hero among bandits, loots for people's benefits.
Hundreds of poor he led, us siblings he fed.

角色故事•三（解鎖條件：角色等級60）
小時候，父親總告訴格妮薇兒，人應當體面地活着。可誰又能在「洪堡特-σ」上體面地活着呢？

那是個荒蕪的行星。原始的藻類、真菌和地衣維繫着它勉強能支撐動物生存的大氣環境，而在那些堅強繁衍的原生物種中，幾乎沒有哪一種是對人類沒有威脅的。

如果星際和平公司沒有發現這顆行星所蘊含的礦產，應該也不會有人想要移居到這裏。

格妮薇兒在這顆貧瘠的星球上，度過了整個少女的時代。

她很擅長交朋友，與其他小孩子關係很好。窮苦人的兒子、流亡者的女兒、爛賭鬼的弟弟、殺人犯的妹妹…格妮薇兒並不在乎出身，畢竟無論他們出身於何種家庭，在這顆星球上，都同樣不一定能活到明天。

公司對此處的看管並不嚴格。除卻那些身負債務或罪案的倒霉蛋，只要交夠了應繳的稅款，公司並不會限制工人的自由。只不過，繳清了稅款之後，他們甚至未必有餘錢去鎮上的酒吧喝上一杯。

在故鄉時，父親是一家人最堅實的依靠。如今父親和故鄉都已不在，照護一家人的責任，就落到了唯一的年長者——「石牆騎士」身上。在逃離家園時，母親強硬地讓這位忠誠的老騎士與孩子們一同逃離，自己則留在故土，陪伴荒原的最後一縷塵埃。

老騎士曾是父親最親密的玩伴，而後是父親最勇敢的戰友，再來是父親最忠誠的家臣，現在…他成了孩子們的另一位「父親」。直到最後，格妮薇兒都沒能記住他的真名實姓，她更熟悉騎士的另一個名字——石牆叔叔。

十幾個飢餓的孩子，使本就捉襟見肘的經濟狀況雪上加霜。在某一夜的爭吵過後，石牆勉強同意讓三個哥哥姐姐同自己一起下礦，但無論格妮薇兒怎麼哀求，他也不肯讓她同行。

一個個夜晚過去，他變得蒼老、憔悴，肺部充滿難以癒合的創傷，脊椎再也無法像過去那樣挺拔，曾揮舞着動力錘虎虎生風的雙手如今扭曲到難以拿穩湯匙。

不久後，他死了。

石牆倒塌了，倒在黎明到來前，沒有發出一絲聲響。像沙灘上的城堡在潮汐漲落之間消退，像冬日的枯枝在風中輕輕墜地，像註定要到來的結局。

而石牆之外，是只有風雨冰霜的世界。

哥哥們變成星際海盜，是那之後不久的事。格妮薇兒能吃飽飯了，可她也隱約感到，自己進一步違背了父親的訓誡，走向了更加不體面的人生。

所以，當公司的士兵們給格妮薇兒戴上手銬，和弟弟妹妹們一起移交給雲騎軍的時候，她長舒了一口氣。

人們都說仙舟人特別善良，她想，雲騎軍一定願意讓我們一家體面地死在一起。

……

誰曾想長兄他一時昏了頭，竟劫了艘商船它來自仙舟。
仙舟人剛直嫉惡如仇，有雷霆的手段似風馳雨驟。
長兄他被人剿了匪，降心俯首，只求軍爺對我們弟妹高抬貴手。
剿匪的軍爺亦是宅心仁厚，將我全家都請回了仙舟。
寬仁了我家長兄的一顆人頭，更為了我弟妹的生計苦苦籌謀。
弟妹們進了學宮識文斷字，咱這兒的悠姐對我把本事傳授。
長兄勸我學完了本事高飛遠走，可知恩不報非讓人說我不如禽獸。
誰曾想在這金人巷我把能耐展露，從貧苦的兒女到如今那是名利雙收。

Character Story: Part III

• Unlocked at Character Level 60

When Guinevere was young, her father always told her that humans should live with dignity. However, who could manage that on Hombert-σ?

It was a barren planet. Primitive algae, fungi, and lichen maintained an atmosphere barely able to support animal life. Among the endemic species that stubbornly proliferated in that world, almost all of them existed as genuine threats to humanity.

Had the Interastral Peace Corporation not discovered the mineral ores hidden in the heart of this planet, no humans would have wanted to move here anyways.

Guinevere passed all of her teenage years on this poverty-stricken planet.

She was good at making friends and was on good terms with the other kids. The son of the poor man, the daughter of the refugee, the brother of the gambler, or the sister of the murderer... Guinevere did not care about people's background. No matter what kind of families people are from, they were equally at risk of perishing before the arrival of tomorrow on this planet.

The IPC didn't keep a tight eye on this place. Except for those with debts or criminal charges, the IPC didn't limit the workers' freedom as long as they paid their taxes. However, if they did pay their taxes, they might not have enough money left to even buy a drink at the town's bar.

Her father was the most reliable backbone of the family back home. Now that both father and home were lost, the duty of looking after the family fell on the shoulders of the only senior in the group — the Stone-Wall Knight. Back when they had to flee their home, the mother sternly demanded that this loyal old knight escape with the children, while she stayed behind in their homeland to watch over the last speck of dust on their barren planet.

The old knight was once her father's closest playmate, then her father's most courageous comrade in battle, then her father's most loyal servant. And now... he became another "father" for the children. Guinevere didn't manage to remember his real name even till the end. She was more familiar with the knight's other name — Uncle Stone-Wall.

A dozen starving children made their dwindling finances even worse. After a night of arguments, Stone-Wall reluctantly agreed to have the three eldest children go to work in the mines with him. However, no matter how much Guinevere begged, he refused to let her go with them.

Night after night passed. Stone-Well [sic] grew old and withered. His lungs became full of incurable scars, and his spine no longer stood as tall as in years past. His hands, once able to swing a kinetic hammer majestically on the battlefield, have been deformed till he could no longer hold a spoon.

Soon, he died.

The stone wall fell. It fell before the dawn arrived, and it didn't make a single sound. It was like a sand castle receding as the tides swelled and fell, like the soft descent of winter's withered boughs in a breeze, like an ending doomed to arrive.

Only a world of hoarfrost exists beyond the stone wall.

Her elder brothers soon became interstellar pirates. Guinevere can fill her stomach again. However, she was also faintly aware that she had further strayed from her father's creed and embarked on a life even less respectable.

Therefore, when the IPC's soldiers put cuffs on Guinevere and handed her over to the Cloud Knights together with her younger siblings, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

People all claim the folks of the Xianzhou are very kind. She thought that the Cloud Knights would definitely allow her entire family to die together in dignity.

...

Folly befell my brother's mind. A Xianzhou ship, his raid entwined
Those of Xianzhou, just and upright. Thunder and storm, willed in their might.
To Xianzhou, my brother offered compliance. For us siblings, he pleaded forbearance.
Xianzhou knights, blessed with grace. Xianzhou fleet, we get to embrace.
Our brother pardoned, our burdens lessened.
To the school, our young'uns go. Teaching skills was my dear Ms. Yo.
A future elsewhere, brother urged me to prepare. Gratitude to pay, I chose here to stay.
In Aurum Alley I shine. Fame and fortune, I'm fine.

"She's quite an unusual kid, and I could sense it from the day she was born. It felt like nature itself was celebrating her arrival: The birds chirped, the moon and sun were together in the sky. The cards in my hand seemed to hint at the emergence of a soul steeped in nostalgia. Right from her early years, she had a fascination with stories from the past. She would delve deep into contemplating our origins, our creators, and even the very beginning of the world. Her questions would leave even the most erudite scholars scratching their heads. Sure, some other kids might poke fun at her for asking such deep questions, but aren't those questions important? Life is akin to a winding labyrinth, where memories serve as our sole companions."

— A mother's memories

Afflicted with amnesia, her mother struggled with forgetfulness, making it difficult for her to recognize her family or recall recent events.
Clutching the diagnosis of amnesia, she held her mother tightly, attempting to read aloud from the latter's diary. Her mother was physically present, but where was she in the realm of consciousness?

She stayed by her mother's side until the end of her life, realizing that her mother had been fading away as her memories became fragmented. If her own memories of her mother were to ever become blurred as well, her mother would completely slip away from her.

"Life is akin to a winding labyrinth, where memories serve as our sole companions." For the first time, she comprehended the profound meaning behind these words.

「我以探險家的身份來到這顆星球，一如既往，我會統計河流的走向如何，研究街巷的磚瓦是怎樣的材質，落差最大的道路有多少度，還有煙囪的個數和分佈…這些工作符合人們的想像，對於保存一個星球「記憶」的想像。

——但這遠遠不夠。

當我在人後真正開始工作，便頻繁見到那名少女。有時陽光透過葉尖，跟隨她的身影下顫動，最終消失在某個轉角處，那時路燈便會點亮；有時她目光跟隨一隻信鴿，每周第三天的傍晚它會從大祭司住處出發，第二天凌晨回到皇宮侍衛長的手中，而他們是明面上的政敵；有時她靜靜打量雨水落入下水道，損壞的痕跡來自從對岸發射來的火炮；有時浪花會打濕她的裙角，而河邊洗衣的老婦正吶吶自語上一代當權者和他五個私生子的故事。

——除了我們，很少有人知道星球會這樣把自己的「記憶」裹藏起來。

我跟隨她來到一處荒野上的石頭前，我覺得，是時候邀請她了。

『你看到了什麼？』我以她能看見的模樣，向她詢問。
她指着雜草生長的地方，那裏留着打磨的痕跡。
『一塊石頭，我覺得它曾是一座壁爐的一部分…但應該不止於此。』
我點點頭，幫她清除了石頭縫隙中的雜草與泥土。
『它還曾是一座紀念碑。』她撫摸着石頭上的刻痕。
『是的。但「記憶」仍不止於此。』

於是我向她展示。荒野上的石頭，它曾是某戶人家的壁爐，在這之前，它還曾是一座紀念碑，一座花壇，一方祭台…而在更早之前，它是一處荒野上的石頭。

『要看見這些「記憶」，我會付出怎樣的代價？』
『在你願意現身前，人們將無從知曉你的存在。』
『就像人們看到黑天鵝前，從不知道天鵝不止白色一種？』
『就像那樣。』」

——一位探險家（憶者）的回憶

憶者們穿梭於諸多星球，在每一條路途，每一個轉角間採擷城市的記憶，他們會確保自己不留下痕跡，以免被城市記得。除非他們遇到具備憶者資質的人，並將他們從這座城市的記憶中帶走，帶去更廣闊的大海。

"I arrived on this planet as an explorer. My usual tasks involved observing the flow of rivers, examining the materials of the city's bricks and tiles, analyzing the steepness of roads, and documenting the number and distribution of chimneys... These duties aligned with people's imagination of preserving a planet's 'memories.'"

— However, such efforts were far from sufficient.

Once I started working in secrecy, I would often come across that girl. Sometimes, sunlight would dance through the leaves as she walked beneath them, disappearing around corners once the street lamps illuminated the surroundings. On other occasions, her gaze would follow a carrier pigeon, which left the High Priest's quarters every Wednesday night, only to return the following morning to the palace's chief of the guards — a known political adversary of the High Priest. Occasionally, she would quietly observe rain trickling into sewers scarred by artillery fired from the opposite shore. And sometimes, waves would dampen her skirts, while an elderly woman washing clothes by the river recounted the story of the previous sovereign and his five illegitimate children.

I trailed behind her until we reached a rock on the moor. I knew that it was the time to invite her.

"What do you see?" I asked, in a form visible to her.
She pointed at a patch of weeds and the lingering traces.
"I see a stone, perhaps once part of a fireplace... But it must hold more significance."
I nodded and assisted her in removing the weeds and dirt from the crevices of the stone.
"It was once a monument," she murmured, gently caressing the engravings adorning its surface.
"Indeed, but the 'memory' holds more significance."

Thus, I revealed to her that the stone on the moor had once served as a fireplace, a monument before that, a flowerbed, and even an altar... And before all that, it had simply been a stone on the moor.

"What price would I pay if I want to witness those 'memories'?"
"People will remain oblivious to your presence unless you are willing to reveal yourself."
"Just as people fail to acknowledge the existence of black swans until they encounter one?"
"Yes, just like that."

— An Explorer's(Memokeeper) memories

Memokeepers travel to numerous planets, collecting the memories of each city they encounter. They are careful not to leave any trace of their presence, ensuring that nobody remembers them, unless they come across someone with the potential to become a Memokeeper, whom they then take away from the city into the vast expanse of the stars.

「許多人沉湎於過去的美好，幻想能活在回憶中，所以他們想要成為憶者。可惜，這樣的人往往會變成為所欲為的焚化工，隨意將回憶篡改成自己喜歡的樣子。但她不一樣…我看到了她對於記憶本身的尊重，以及強烈的意志與決心。按照慣例，成為憶者前的三個問題，她的回答如下：

『你是否願意用盡你的一生去收集記憶？』
『我願意。』
『你是否願意為此放棄肉身，接受自我的異變？』
『我願意。』
『如果有一天你不復存在，你會給世界留下什麼？』
『我的記憶。那裏有過去的種子，它會在未來重生。』

有些記憶瑣碎而溫暖，有些記憶宏大而浩瀚，有些記憶像寵物一樣溫馴，有些記憶則像猛獸一樣難以控制…而她成為憶者的那一刻，她的記憶變得安靜而平和，仿佛洶湧的海浪遇到了屬於自己的港灣。」

Many individuals obsess over the glory of the past and aspire to become Memokeepers, longing to live within their memories. Such individuals often degenerate into unbridled Cremators, distorting memories to suit their preferences. However, she is different... I've sensed her unwavering determination and profound respect for memories themselves. Following tradition, I asked her three questions before making her a Memokeeper.

"Are you willing to dedicate your entire life to collecting memories?"
"I am."
"Are you prepared to relinquish your physical form and accept the transformation?"
"I am."
"If one day you cease to exist, what legacy will you leave behind for the world?"
"My memories. They are seeds from the past and will be reborn in the future."

Memories come in various forms. Some are trivial and heartwarming, while others are grand and expansive. Some are gentle and meek, while others are wild and untamed... When she became a Memokeeper, her memories became tranquil and serene, like the calm waves that finally found their destined harbor.

"What comes to your mind?" The Memokeeper asked.
As she opened her eyes, fragments of memories swirled around her.
"People tend to believe they are facing the present and the future, yet fail to realize that we are all, in fact, moving toward the past."

I closely observed her dreams... and they can hardly be called happy moments: gloomy skies, crumbling cities, ruined lands, and incessant rains.

The rain never stopped. Amidst the swelling tide, individuals wore smiles even as they were drowned, and within the engulfing darkness, I heard the distant rumble of thunder, until, at a particular moment, lightning shattered the veil of night. Below the fractured sky, I saw her once more: Within a world fading into oblivion, she elegantly swung her blade, eradicating the entire realm of dreams.

I must admit that she has ventured far beyond our progress on this path. The elusive Nihility beckons her toward self-annihilation, yet she subtly holds its reins. Perhaps she was prepared to confront the true enemy from the very beginning of her journey... Once, I asked her about the purpose behind it all, but she remained silent. Was she at a loss for words?

「別人一輩子也搞不出幾種新藥出來，你倒好，一天就能發明好幾種。」
「師父謬讚了，這是名為「九宮格」的鼎鑊藥式，製作簡便，效果奇佳。」

Rainsoar Lake, the Yaoqing.
In the misty rain, yellow floating heart foliage and blossoms decorated the lake as frolicking fishes leaped out of the water from time to time. At this lakeside abounds with lotuses and water chestnuts, old turtles basking on the pebbles were an everyday sight.

A foxian youth with a basket for storing harvested ingredients on his back rowed a small boat, raindrops running down his ear before being lightly flicked away.
As he scooped up floating heart plants and picked out lotus flowers, he peeled open wild rice stems and threw them casually into his mouth.
"So sweet and refreshing, it delights the palate...."
After harvesting the plants, he steered the boat to shore and crossed the lakeside with graceful ease before changing into the attire of a healer.
...
Inside the apothecary, misty steam hung in the air as tantalizing aromas filled the premises.
"Your pulse has become more stable since you last visited, but you should still work on getting more rest and nourishing your body. Care to try one of my new medicines?"
With a smile, he put away the wrist cushion and golden needles, bringing out a whole new set of medical tools.
As the elderly man gazed at the nine-squared cauldron in front of him, he couldn't help but break into a wry smile.
"Others can hardly even invent a few decent medicines in their lifetimes, yet a single day is all you need to achieve that and more."
"You flatter me, Master. This cauldron-based medicinal formula is called the 'nine-square grid.' Not only is it simple to make, but its effects are also wondrous."
The youth poured out the ingredients from his basket, cleaning them quickly before slicing them. As he did, the stock inside the cauldron began to bubble and boil.
"A tael of euphorbia, three mace of bitterwood, and four cash of desert cistanche... Boil with big bones, then pair with deep sea shellfish to dispel the bitter flavor. The concoction can aid one in achieving peaceful slumber." "As for the white loach and threadfin snapper, their constitution-warming properties are great for nourishing the qi and blood. We need only dip the slices in boiling water for two to three seconds."
"These green mushrooms, silver needle tea leaves, and snow lotus roots were all carefully cultivated with decoction dregs by me at Rainsoar Lake. Not only are they tasty and refreshing, but they also offer medicinal benefits."
As glistening fish slices met boiling soup, both master and disciple enjoyed a delicious meal that quickly made them forget about the damp coldness of a rainy day.

In the aftermath of the meal, the older man put down his chopsticks, seemingly having realized something.
"This meal that I've just had, the 'nine-square grid'... It seems there is more you wish to tell me with this meal than what I'd thought."
The youth stood up and solemnly bowed.
"Master, you are perceptive indeed. I have long since made up my mind about whether to join the Alchemy Commission."
"While the Alchemy Commission is a good place to be, it is ultimately not compatible with my wish to practice medicine for the masses. The one place that requires a healer the most is undeniably the battlefield where the Yaoqing's forces are."
"Among the many schools of healers, only practitioners of the Ranzhi School — such as you and me — place emphasis on the tenet of 'food is medicine,' using the joy of food to alleviate the pain of ailments... The 'nine-square grid,' with its convenience and effectiveness in dispelling the cold that ails one's constitution, was specially made by me to provide succor to those on the battlefield."
"For those who yet breathe, there is nothing more important than the preservation of life. If I could deliver the people from pain and suffering with a mere medicinal formula, the Alchemy Commission's time and effort spent in grooming my talents would be well-spent indeed."
The elder looked as though he wanted to talk the youth out of his decision, but he ultimately decided against it.
"The battlefield is a bitterly cold place... Don't forget to bring more foods that warm the constitution ere you depart."

The Yaoqing's troops perennially fought on outer planets. He continued to improve the cauldron-based medicinal formula in a multitude of ways so that he could adapt it to the increasingly challenging, complex, and unpredictable environments that the soldiers must brave.

The unusual yet profoundly effective formulation his medicine came in soon made his name a common utterance across the forces of the Yaoqing, winning him the trust of officers and soldiers alike.
Such achievements nevertheless failed to assuage his heavy heart.
Every day, when the bugle call for departure sounded, he knew the wounded that he had nursed back to health would have to step onto the battlefield once more.
Every day, when he heard the footsteps of returning troops, he knew he would be missing a few more familiar faces among those that gathered around his cauldron.
Just recently, even the soldier who always returned to camp yelling about wanting to eat from the cauldron had departed this world for good.
He finished up the day's consultation and left the field hospital, letting out a long sigh. The cold did not bother him in the slightest, even with the snow flurries pelting at him.
When the bugle call sounded yet again, the army was equipped and ready to depart. The field hospital will soon be burdened with grievously wounded soldiers like before. Yes, he has the skills to bring the wounded back from the gates of hell, but these young lives still end up lost in the endless, ravenous war.

Every night, he would always talk with General Yueyu. This day, however, he was uncharacteristically silent for a long time.
"Recently, I have been thinking... If the patients that I nurse to health are destined to hurtle toward death once more, what is my purpose as a healer?"

A dull cry sounded from the direction of the wards. It was only after blinking several times that he realized both his eyes had gone dry, probably since some time ago...
So dry that he no longer had tears to shed.

Tattered banners thrashed in the wind as the few remaining survivors gathered around the bonfire in silence.
Clank, clank, clank...
A strong gust of wind swept across, rolling a battered cauldron along the barren ground.

His body should have long acclimated to the frigid cold climate given the time he had been stationed on this planet. But he had never felt this cold before. He was cold from the inside out.
In a seasoned manner, he picked up the iron receptacle, filled it with water, and brought it to a boil before throwing in scraps of leftover ingredients.
"It's still so cold..."
The survivors ate their food in silence.
"Maybe I should add some spice."
With that, he retrieved the medicine pouch that he always carried with him.
"Not spicy enough."
He added more chili peppers to the mix.
"Not there yet."
He emptied every spice he had on him into the cauldron.
"That's it."
As oil from the chili bubbled, he picked up a herb from the cauldron to taste. When his already numbed sense of taste finally picked up on the spice, a jolt of current ran through him. He felt alive for the first time!
It was a sensation that bordered on pain.

曜青，飛雨湖。
荇藻開着黃花，游魚在雨絲中跳躍，菱角荷花肆意生長，湖邊石灘常有老龜曬背。

湖中，他背着藥簍，劃着小舟，雨絲順着他的耳廓流下，沾濕了他的衣裳。
他撈取荇菜，擷取荷花，剝開鮮嫩的茭白，隨手往嘴裏扔去。
「唉，太淡了……」他搖了搖頭。
「先生，有一位老人在食館找您，說是您的老相識——」
門童的聲音從對岸傳來。他嘆了口氣，撐船往回而去。

他豈不知來人何意，卻早已厭倦了重操醫業。
「師父今日前來，是要試試飛雨食館的鼎鑊嗎？我可要提個醒，這裏只有重辣和重重辣。」
老者坐在桌邊，嘆了口氣。
「我記得在從軍之前，你的口味還清淡得很。」
他端上鼎鑊，眼中一抹懷念之色轉瞬即逝。
「人…總是會變的。」
老者夾起一片紫魚，在紅油沸騰的鍋里涮了涮。
「那我也試試罷。但此次前來，並非僅僅為了吃食。還記得你救下的那個女孩麼？
「那位始終跟在前任將軍身邊的少女，飛霄。她如今已接任了曜青將軍，需要一個醫生追隨，沒人比你更合適了。」
他無奈地笑了笑，那日口腔的刺痛不知為何又翻湧上來。「即便救下了，不過又是一條上陣蹈死的冤魂。這樣的無用功，我不想再做。」
老者放下筷子，搖搖頭。
「你誤會了，我此次前來，並非勸你救治世人。我來，是想請這位將軍…醫好你的心死之病。
「她會告訴你…醫者的意義，究竟是什麼。」

Rainsoar Lake, the Yaoqing.
In the misty rain, yellow floating heart foliage and blossoms decorated the lake as frolicking fishes leaped out of the water from time to time. At this lakeside abounds with lotuses and water chestnuts, old turtles basking on the pebbles were an everyday sight.

With a herb basket on his back, he rowed a small boat out into the middle of the lake as the falling rain slid down the back of his ear, soaking his clothing wet.
Scooping up floating heart plants, picking out lotus flowers, and peeling open wild rice shoots, sending them all into his mouth to taste.
"Ugh, too bland..." He shook his head.
"Mister, there's an elderly man looking for you over at the restaurant. He claimed to be an old friend of yours..."
A disciple called out from the other side of the lake, to which he sighed and rowed his boat back to shore.

He is of course aware of the visitor's intentions, but he had long grown weary of resuming his old profession as a healer.
"Master, are you here today to try out the dishes cooked with Rainsoar Eatery's cauldron? I must warn you, though: We only serve very spicy and insanely spicy food here."
The elderly man sighed from his seat at the table.
"I remember you preferred bland food before joining the army."
As he readied the cauldron, a glimmer of nostalgia flashed across his eyes.
"People... tend to change."
The elder picked up a slice of threadfin snapper, scalding it in the bubbling red broth.
"I should try it then. But know that I did not come for that. Do you still remember the girl you saved?"
"Feixiao, that's her name. The girl that followed the former general everywhere. She has since assumed the role of General of the Yaoqing and now requires a healer by her side. There's no one more suitable for that position than you."
He smiled wryly, for some reason recalling the sharp pain he felt on his tongue that fateful day. "Those I saved only ended up as another dead soul when they dived head-in back into the battlefield. I prefer to no longer engage in such futile efforts."
The elder placed his chopsticks down and shook his head.
"You misunderstand me. This time, I'm not here to persuade you to heal the masses in this world. I'm here because I want this general ... to heal your despondent heart."
"She will tell you... what the true purpose of a healer is."

Character Details

The former chief representative of the Whistling Flames merchant guild in the Sky-Faring Commission who nearly lost her life in a strange and catastrophic incident on her return journey.
Her face, name, and identity were stolen by the one who orchestrated it all. Yet, by a twist of fate, a sliver of hope remained, and from the aftermath of the Destruction, she reclaimed her life.

那護身的玉鐲業已碎裂，祈福的鈴鐺滾落泥淖，鮮妍的摺扇化作朽灰。
而她只能看着無明的幽火燃燒
——自己曾擁有的一切都在燃燒。

她一時只有惋惜，自己仍舊比人生走慢了一步。
「剛和那行商談成的大生意，白白浪費了機會……
「可惜了這保養已久的尾巴，如今都成了浮雲……
「連答應給大家帶的禮物…居然也要食言了……」
千頭萬緒，身體動彈不得，只有眼角漸漸濕了。

記憶走馬燈般閃爍着，黯淡着。
「真想看看馭空大人帶着我送的弓飛上天空，那是她最想做的事吧……
「岩明啊，以後仙舟商團…都得仰仗他了……
「夢茗的茶種，我也尋到了，她一定心裏歡喜……
「還有燕翠大娘，她的刀也該換把新的了……」
淚珠滑落，在觸到地面前蒸發。

視野漸漸被黑暗吞沒，她已經辨不明仙舟的航向了。
「小女子本想選擇行向更遠的天際，但到最後連敵人是誰都不知道，可真不甘心吶……」

宇宙間的各處，每分每秒都有海量的生命逝去。
在命途行者掀起的偉力前，凡人猶如一粒微茫的塵埃，隨風逐浪，身不由己。

「但也正因如此，這是給予她的『選擇』，也是給予我們的一線生機……」
——那是很久以後發生的一場對話，發生於一位行商與一位天才之間。

The jade bracelet that once shielded her lay shattered, the blessing bell had tumbled into the mud, and the vibrantly adorned folding fan had crumbled to ashes.
She could only watch as the ghostly fire of darkness consumed everything she had ever possessed
— reducing all of it to flame and ruin.

For a moment, she only felt regret that she remained just one step behind life.
"I just sealed a major deal with that traveling merchant... such a wasted opportunity..."
"All that effort for this well-maintained tail, now reduced to nothing..."
"Even my promise to bring gifts to everyone... will now be unfulfilled..."
A thousand thoughts raced through her mind, but her body remained still, motionless, as tears quietly gathered in the corners of her eyes.

Memories flickered and dimmed like a dying candlelight.
"How much I wish to see Madam Yukong soaring into the sky with the bow I bought for her... It's what she longed for most..."
"Yanming... From now on, the Xianzhou Merchant Guild will have to depend on him..."
"I finally found Mengming's tea seed... she'll be overjoyed..."
"And Yancui... It's time to get a new knife for her..."
A teardrop slid down her cheek, evaporating before it ever touched the ground.

Her vision was gradually engulfed by darkness, and she could no longer make out the path of the Xianzhou ship.
"I had hoped to journey deeper into the skies, but in the end, I don't even know who my enemy is... How could I be at peace with that...?"

Across the universe, oceans of lives fade away with every passing minute and every fleeting second.
Before the presence of the immense power wielded by the Pathstriders, mortals are but specks of dust, carried aimlessly by the wind and waves.

"However, because of that, this is a 'choice' for her, and a risky opportunity for the rest of us..."
— This is a conversation that took place much later between a traveling merchant and a genius.

角色故事•二（解鎖條件：角色等級40）
少女微弱的意識徘徊於黑暗。
前方，是不見盡頭的長夜，背後，似是近在咫尺的歸途。

她向後退，那裏是她熟悉的繁華花燈，故友在遠方呼喚，等待自己重拾商人之業。黑霧自前方湧現，街市轉瞬化作朽木死灰。
她向後退，星槎的甲板於腳下顯現，她欲乘風而上，卻見詭異的星體懸於天空，熟悉之人化作怪物，舉刀相向。
她想如從前那般能言巧辯，此時卻無法對着面前的怪形發出半分聲響。

「只能向前去吧。」她同自己說道。
「但我如何向前？」她向自己發問。
「抬起你的手。」冷冷的聲音從遠方傳來。
她低下頭，看着貫穿於手掌的傷痕。手中捏着的仍是那把摺扇，她記得它於火中成了灰白，但如今它就在那，就在自己手上。

黑霧再次向她席捲而來。
「向前去吧。」
她抬起手來，穿透掌心的傷痕亮起。那光穿透了黑暗，但也照亮了她自己。
「向前去吧。」
她舉起扇子，那乘涼消遣的摺扇如今卻要冒出火來。

黑霧綿延不絕，但她愈是往前，光芒便愈盛。
「向前去吧。」
那冷冷的聲音愈發清晰。
「不要回頭。」
她向前奔去。
「這星海間萬千世界，我還遠遠未看夠呢……」
她的背後，五條絨尾在此刻徹底綻放，化作烈焰照亮了將她困住的漫漫長夜。

實驗室。
少女的指尖微微顫動，一滴晶瑩的淚從眼角滾落。
那位清冷的科學家望向艙內，表情終於有了些許變化。
「恭喜你『選擇』這邊的世界。」

The young girl's fragile consciousness drifts through the darkness.
Ahead lies an endless night, while behind her, the path home feels just within reach.

She steps back into familiar ground, where bustling lanterns glow and the voices of old friends call to her from afar, urging her to return to her trade as a merchant. Before her, black mist creeps in, turning the once lively market instantly into rotting wood and dead ash.
She steps back again, and the deck of the starskiff appears beneath her feet. She longs to ride the wind upward, but a strange astral body looms in the sky, and the people she once knew become monsters, raising swords against one another.
She wishes to be as articulate as before, but now, facing monstrous forms before her, not a single sound escapes her lips.

"I'll just have to move forward," she whispers to herself.
"But how?" She asks herself.
"Raise your hand." A cold voice echoes from afar.
She lowers her gaze, eyes tracing the scar that pierces her palm. The fan still rests in her hand, though she remembers it turning ashen white in the fire. Yet here it is — whole again in her hand.

The black mist surges toward her once more.
"Go forward."
She lifts her hand, and the wound that pierces her palm begins to glow. The light cut through the darkness but also illuminates herself.
"Go forward."
She raises the fan — Once a source of leisurely comfort, the fan now threatens to burst forth with flames.

The black mist stretches endlessly, but the more she moves forward, the more the light intensifies.
"Go forward."
That cold voice is growing clearer.
"Don't look back."
She runs ahead.
"I haven't seen enough of the countless worlds in the starry seas..."
Behind her, five fluffy tails completely unfurl, igniting into fiery flames that cast light into the long night that ensnares her.

The laboratory.
The young girl's fingertips tremble slightly as a crystal-clear teardrop slips down the corner of her eye.
The aloof scientist peers into the cabin, and her expression shifts at long last.
"Congratulations on 'choosing' the world on this side."

「甦醒，不過是你邁出的第一步。
「『毀滅』的烙印仍影響着你，你必須更快熟悉這副新的身軀，才能使力量為你所用。」
日復一日，她遵照那位科學家的指導，以舞蹈配合那奇特的糕點，她以肉眼可見的速度開始痊癒。與日俱增的，還有她的疑惑。

她在不安中等待着仙舟的消息，許久之後，阮•梅向她確認了星核災變的噩耗——
那被稱為「幻朧」的令使以她的樣貌混入仙舟，掀起災禍，荼毒眾生。

「所幸，星穹列車和仙舟合作，已擊敗幻朧，並未造成嚴重後果。」
她怔怔地聽着「自己」的故事，感覺荒誕而虛幻。
「如此說來，她不僅奪走了我的性命，還奪走了我的一段人生，小女子本不應該以如此面貌回到羅浮，與虹車相遇……」
「幻朧對你的『毀滅』從未停止。你雖在肉體上暫時戰勝了『毀滅』的力量，但她對你意志的折磨才剛剛開始。」
那冰冷的聲音中，似乎藏着一絲不易察覺的感嘆。
「小女子不明白，為何是我？」
「只是命運擲下的骰子，偶然落在了你的身上。」
「…所以小女子的命運，也因此與他們聯繫在了一起。」
「我只是受人所託，將你救下。回到羅浮之後的事，都在於你。」
「但無論如何，小女子已是這些大人物棋局中的一子了吧？」
「無可否認。」

她沉默了許久，盤算着，思量着。
「生意講究你來我往，小女子既與往日不同，可還有選擇的機會？」
阮•梅看着少女，搖了搖頭。
「我不知道。那是你的『選擇』，也只有『你』才能選擇。」

"Awakening is only the first step.
The scars of Destruction still affect you, and you must learn to familiarize yourself with this new body swiftly to harness its power."
Day after day, she follows the scientist's instructions, pairing her dance with the strange pastries. She begins to heal at a pace visible to the naked eye. Yet, with each passing day, her doubt grows stronger.

She waits anxiously for news from the Xianzhou. After what feels like an eternity, Ruan Mei delivers the grim confirmation about Stellaron calamity —
The Emanator known as Phantylia had infiltrated the Xianzhou with her guise, unleashing calamity and poisoning the living.

"Fortunately, the Astral Express and the Xianzhou joined forces and defeated Phantylia before any serious repercussions."
She listens to "her" story in a daze, feeling as if it were absurd and unreal.
"So she not only took my life but also a part of my time... I should never return to the Luofu with this face and encounter the Chromatic Echelon..."
"Phantylia's 'Destruction' of you has never ceased. Although you have temporarily overcome the power of Destruction in your body, her torment of your will has only just begun."
There is a subtle sigh hidden within that icy voice.
"I don't understand — why me?"
"It's simply a roll of fate's dice, and it landed on you."
"...So now my fate is entwined with theirs."
"I was entrusted only to save you. What happens after you return to the Luofu is entirely up to you."
"But in any case, I'm already a pawn in the game of these powerful players, aren't I?"
"Undeniably so."

She remains silent for a long time, lost in thought.
"Business is a two-way traffic, but since I am no longer the same as before, do I still have a choice?"
Ruan Mei meets the young girl's gaze and shakes her head.
"I don't know. That is your 'choice,' and only 'you' can make it."

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。」
獵人穿着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……
「一直想着當有一日漫遊星海，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，是一個推着車的商販。
「…看您的穿着，應該來自羅浮仙舟？多年前我就跟着老闆去過一趟，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……」

「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。」

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."
