Chapter 119: The Princess’s Encouragement

“Not dangerous for me? There are hints like this too? Interesting. Does that mean it’s very dangerous for others?”

Ye Qiyan casually closed the Light Screen, pulled out a Train Coin, and tossed it onto Wall-E’s head, who had been ready for a while.

Regardless of whether it was dangerous or not, letting Wall-E go out to hunt for treasure was the first thing to do after arriving at every station.

After all, most of the time, the rewards from the Mission Platform couldn’t even compare to the Treasure Chests Wall-E brought back.

“Be careful.”

Wall-E waved its machine arm and wobbled away.

Under the cover of the drizzling rain, it vanished from sight.

“Next…”

On both sides of the wooden Platform, a few people were already watching their two Trains.

Among them, some of the bolder ones approached closer and gently tapped on the Train’s doors and windows.

“Ex—Excuse me, are you the adventurers who came to help us?”

Adventurers? Is this the identity assigned by the system for this station?

Ye Qiyan wasn’t in a hurry to get off the Train. He snapped his fingers, and the Devil Card: Pride appeared, hovering in his hand.

Second ability triggered.

[Devil: You deserve to look down on anyone]

The world Ye Qiyan saw changed. His perspective overlooked this space like a god.

Judging by the appearance, three carriages of the neighboring Train were rather special, likely carriages with special abilities.

Driven by his ability, he was actually able to pierce through the Train and directly see the man inside it.

At this moment, the other party was also using a telescope to look at his Train.

Both of them coincidentally chose to observe each other.

This was very normal.

In this world, easily trusting others was tantamount to courting death.

It was better to be cautious.

Seeing that no one had gotten off either Train, the natives outside looked at each other in dismay, thinking some mistake had occurred.

Ye Qiyan opened the Train door, held up an umbrella, and walked out of the Train.

If no one got off, were they supposed to spend this station in suspicion?

Since it was called a cooperative Platform, at least before this station ended, the two of them should meet up.

Seeing Ye Qiyan appear, the man opposite also breathed a sigh of relief, put away his telescope, and ran out draped in a raincoat.

The appearance of the two attracted the attention of many natives on both sides of the Platform. A male knight wearing medieval armor ran between them and spoke toward the largest tent not far away:

“Respected Adventurers, please come this way. Her Royal Highness the Princess is already waiting for the two of you.”

Following behind the knight, the two entered the tent together.

Sitting in the main seat was a woman, who should be the princess the knight mentioned.

“Hello, two Adventurers. I am the Third Princess of the Aphaloth Empire, Grant Winnie. One month ago, the Empire’s Smarfa Fortress was captured by those damned Goblins. That is an important border fortress of the Empire, so I organized an army to take back Smarfa Fortress from those disgusting green-skinned monsters.”

“Now, we have encountered some trouble. We have already broken into the middle zone of the fortress, but there, the Goblin Legion Commander and a Goblin Champion are blocking our way forward. They are too powerful for ordinary soldiers to withstand, and even my personal guards have suffered heavy casualties. Therefore, I used this.”

She took a cloth bag from the tray held by a maid beside her.

Opening the mouth of the bag, inside were a full forty Train Coins.

“The Adventurer’s coins. As long as enough Adventurer’s coins are gathered, one can summon Adventurers riding things called Trains to solve all troubles at any time. So, the two of you, are you willing to help us? Take back the fortress belonging to the Empire!”

The princess’s voice gradually grew high-pitched.

The knights by her side were inspired by her, each becoming incomparably fanatical.

Ye Qiyan glanced at his personal information.

[Mental Power: 150 (Witnessing Truth and Falsehood)]

[The Princess’s Encouragement]: Under Princess Winnie’s encouragement, people would find it easier to choose to die in battle for the empire.

[The mental gap is too large, this effect is ineffective on you]

An ability that can influence Mental Power, encouragement? Brainwashing is more like it.

Ye Qiyan sneered inwardly. He didn’t care, but the Train Captain standing next to him clearly didn’t have the Module from System Binding and didn’t know his Mental Power was being influenced by that princess.

Looking at the firm and indignant expression on his face, he was most likely affected by this encouragement.

So, did a cooperative Platform mean two Train Captains completing the same mission?

No, or rather, two different missions.

The Goblin Legion Commander and the Goblin Champion.

These two monsters should both be around Level 7. According to the princess, the two high-level Goblins were even together.

If it were an ordinary Level 6 or Level 7 Train Captain, it would be impossible to defeat them simultaneously.

Is that why she looked for two people?

“I…”

“Princess Winnie, this is what we Adventurers ought to do in the first place. We accept the 40 coins. We will help you deal with the trouble of the Goblin Legion Commander and the Goblin Champion, but before that, we need a troop to send us over.”

Just as the man was about to speak, Ye Qiyan preemptively interrupted him.

This guy, who still didn’t know his Mental Power had been influenced, who knows what kind of stupid things he would say.

Ye Qiyan definitely didn’t want this person to affect his gains.

Winnie nodded, somewhat surprised in her heart that Ye Qiyan hadn’t been influenced by her.

Summoning Adventurers to help her do things wasn’t the first time, though emptying the empire’s savings and spending a full 40 coins like this was a first.

But these two Adventurers seemed to have a considerable gap between them.

“Very well, I will dispatch the knight guard to escort you into the frontline of the fortress. How about setting out right now? The empire’s soldiers are still struggling in desperate resistance, awaiting the two of you for support.”

“Of course.”

Ye Qiyan stepped forward, took the money bag filled with Train Coins amidst the vigilant gazes of the knights, and then turned and walked out of the tent.

The other Train Captain was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly chased after him.

“Wa—Wait!”

In the drizzling rain, Ye Qiyan stopped in his tracks and looked at this peer of his.

“We—We need to understand each other. Those two Goblins Princess Winnie mentioned just now definitely won’t be lower than Level 7. What—What level is your Train? What kind of weapons and items do you have? We must act together, otherwise, we will never be their opponents! You should have seen it, the Platform’s warning for this station is dangerous, it’s extremely dangerous!”

“Right, my name is Qin Qiang, and my Train level is Level 7.”

Extremely dangerous?

Ye Qiyan silently glanced at his own prompt.

A Level 7 Train Captain would find this Platform extremely dangerous, but he was completely different.

He took out a medal from his backpack and held it up in front of Qin Qiang.

“My name is Ye Qiyan, and I am a Judge of the Inquisition of Solomon City.”
