After transiting through the Star Bridge Hall, it took Ash and his companions only ten minutes to board the Blood Moon Kingdom's sightseeing train. The transportation flow among the five countries was very efficient.
An Nan prepared the identity for them as Gospel Travelers. Fortunately, they were going to the Blood Moon Kingdom, otherwise it would not be so easy to get a tourist visa. The Abyss, Paradise, and Stars currently only allow business visas, and they are accompanied by official personnel throughout the journey. Only the Blood Moon has issued a large number of tourist visas, welcoming tourists from all countries to visit the Blood Moon Kingdom.
Although they can enter illegally, like last time when Ash went to Fanxing with Sonia on his back, no one found out. But this time they are here to travel, and if they want to enjoy social services, they must have a legal identity, and they can't let Vichy control the waiters every time.
Of course, they can also directly display violence. Anyway, heaven certainly won't dare to send angels down to earth to ensure that all beings submit wherever they go, just like the emperor touring the palace. But the price is that they can forget about vacation. Speculative and ambitious people will approach them and cater to them at all costs. Any intentions and tendencies they reveal will be magnified countless times, causing ripples at the social level... Just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.
It's nice to hide your identity and enter the Blood Moon as an ordinary traveler. You can enjoy a complete vacation and have the sense of superiority of 'Hehe, you fools definitely don't know that there is a supreme magician among you.'
The tour will go all the way through the Blood Moon Land, passing through many sites along the way, including the city of Kymon and Ash's novice village. Unfortunately, he was thrown into the Shattered Lake Prison in the Desperate Dungeon before he could have a good look around.
“17, 17… here!”
Diya opened the compartment and saw a four-person seat inside. Unlike ordinary carriages, the premium carriages in the sightseeing train are divided into small compartments, with four people sitting opposite each other in the compartments, a table in the middle, and board game cards on the side, so that if you get tired of the scenery, you can still spend a good time with friends.
The soundproofing of the cabin is very good, and loud conversations inside will not affect other passengers. If you think about it carefully, this design is unexpectedly good. Enjoying the speeding scenery with friends and family in a private space without worrying about other people's sight is the best way to start a wonderful vacation.
This kind of box is only sold to groups of three or more, not individually. Ash, Sonia, Diya, Weisser, Vichy, Felix, and Deda Rose, exactly seven people, so Annan booked two boxes for them.
However, when she looked inside the box, the sorcerer realized a problem:
A box seats four people, which means that in addition to Ash, only three more people can sit there.
"Ash," Sonia asked casually, "You are in charge of assigning seats. Which three people do you want to share a room with?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Felix looked at them and subconsciously held his breath. He was so nervous that he didn't dare to move, as if Sonia had not asked "Which three of the four do you choose?" but "Which one of the four do you want to give up first?"
But according to Ash's personality, he would probably say, "Let's squeeze together, the five of us." Actually, Miss Weisser doesn't have to sit down, she's a spirit and can float around... Well, there's another possibility that Ash would sit under the table and let everyone step on him...
While Felix was daydreaming, Ash glanced at the board game cards and asked, "Who wants to play the board game?"
With the table of board games? He actually threw the question back, but it was meaningless... Felix saw that all four operators raised their hands, even Sister Vichy was no exception.
"Okay, since you all want to play board games, then the four of you can share a room."
Ash opened the box next to him and said, "I want to watch the show, so I'll share a room with Deda Rose Felix."
The four Sword Princesses could only watch as Felix and Deda Rose entered Ash's box with an apologetic look on their faces, and then the four of them calmly entered their own boxes. Due to their seats, they had to face each other and couldn't even pretend not to see each other's depressed expressions.
"Weixi, how old are you and you still play board games..." Diya muttered.
"That's right, people who want to have children should stop playing board games." Weisser immediately followed up.
Wei Xi looked at them coldly, and suddenly a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Yeah, I don't actually like playing board games. I just raised my hand because I wanted to play with Ash. Who made me want to have a baby with him?"
"That's great since you both have no plans to have children."
She raised her chin, folded her hands across her chest, and said slowly, "That means my child will be Ash's first child... The first one always gets the most favor and the most attention, don't you think, Sword Princess?"
Diya and Weisser paused. They didn't expect that without Ash, Weisser would suddenly stop being shy. If this ghost prophet was shameless, they really had no way to deal with him. They looked at Sonia and could only hope that the female college student could suppress the maid's arrogance.
Sonia propped her cheek up and looked at the scenery outside. When the train started slowly, she said, "I don't agree."
"You still don't agree that his first kiss wasn't with you." Wei Xi smiled and said, "What's the point of you disagreeing?"
"If I don't agree, you won't have a chance."
"You can't stop him, it only takes one time--"
"Then I won't give it to you even once!" Sonia stared at Vichy with eyes wide open, and said word by word: "I will pester him until he has nothing left!"
Diya immediately followed: "Me too!"
Weisser covered her mouth to stifle laughter.
Wei Xi snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Just you? You underestimated me and overestimated yourself."
"What's the point of you guys arguing like this?" Weisser reached out and took a box of cards, and said with a smile: "Let's gamble something."
"What's the bet?"
"Whoever loses the most will miss the next developer conference, how about that?"
Sonia immediately understood what she meant and asked, "Why can't the person who wins the most be the one to develop alone?"
"Because the three who lost will definitely not admit it. If you, Sword Princess, lose, you will definitely join forces with others to invalidate the result." Weisser said, "But now three of the four have won. In this way, you won't turn hostile even if you lose, right?"
Sonia blinked and turned to look at the scenery outside: "...No."
This guy is really as shameless as Ash, everyone thought.
"Speaking of which, are four people too many?" Diya discussed seriously: "Although one person is best, two or three people can also give up some comfort in exchange for more fun."
"Four people is just right, isn't it?" Weishi replied casually, "Left, right, left, top, and bottom, everyone is just fine."
"If you're the only one here, everyone will be there to serve you." Sonia said, "It's not as simple as 1+1+1+1. The feeling of being immersed in the ocean is incomparable... huh?"
She suddenly looked up at the walls in front and behind the box, pointed to the front and said, "Is the wall there lowered?"
Weisser and Vichy looked back and found that the wall behind them had indeed lowered a little. Weisser realized something and looked around the handrails. Sure enough, she found a button and pressed it hard. The wall behind them lowered silently, revealing the box on the other side.
They stood up. In the other box, Arc was immersed in the screen drama, while Deda Rose and Felix were flipping through magazines.
"Huh?" Felix turned around in surprise and looked over. "So this is a lift wall... Great, this way we are not separated into two rooms!"
Sonia pursed her lips, took a deep breath and asked, "How much did you hear?"
"What do you mean by heard a lot?" Felix blinked. "The sound insulation of these walls is quite good. We can't hear anything here."
The pink-haired maid suddenly asked, "Do you think four is too many?"
"It's a bit much—" Felix covered his mouth as soon as he said it, making a pitiful sound of begging for mercy. Deda Rose buried her head even lower, and Ash endured it for three full seconds, but still couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After throwing several bottles of mineral water at Ash, the four operators finally agreed to sit down. Weisser and Diya were fine, but Sonia and Vichy were blushing so much that they were about to bleed. They could only pretend to look at the scenery to reduce their embarrassment.
"Are you still playing cards?" Diya asked, "It's so boring just sitting there."
"……beat."
"Still gambling?"
"bet!"
"Wait." Sonia stood up and looked at Ash's compartment, narrowing her eyes slightly: "We'll have to sit on this train for several hours..."
"So?" Diya asked, "Do we exchange bets here? Whoever is last will leave and let Ash come in?"
"That's not what I meant, but it's close."
"I understand." Weisser knelt on the chair and looked at Felix and Deda Rose on the other side: "It is too risky to let Ash stay in the same space with two women."
"I won't mention your prejudice against me." Ash said with a smile: "But this is not a confined space. You can see me if you stand up!"
"To be precise, we can only see you above the table." Sonia said, "We can't see what happens below the table. Weisser, Weissi, you——"
"Can."
"That's fine."
Weisser and Vichy combined to perform a miracle, and three collars were placed around the necks of Ash, Felix, and Deda Rose.
Ash was stunned: "What is this?"
"Detection collar," Weisser said. "If you try to get under the table and the collar is level with the table, the collar will activate and cut off your head."
"It's a soul binding and can't be removed." Vichy added.
"Sonia hasn't even said what you're going to do yet, and you two have already pulled off this miracle?" Ash was shocked. "When did you two become so telepathically connected?!"
Felix was also anxious: "I won't crawl under the table, trust me! And why would I crawl under the table?"
"Anything is possible except picking up something." Vichy spread his hands, "Maybe you would like to drink something--"
"I'm not that mean!"
The next second, Felix was sure that he saw the god of death. Four dark murderous auras were raging in the box, and the second lady of Vosloda was about to be blown away like fog. Deda Rose lowered her head and tried to reduce her presence. Ash sighed, stood up, stretched out his hand and turned Felix's head towards himself, and said, "There is only one despicable person here, and that's me. Do you understand?"
"……clear."
The surging darkness behind him slowly subsided, and Felix then realized that his back was covered in cold sweat.
She lowered her head to look at the magazine on the table, and after a while she suddenly whispered, "I'm sorry."
Ash glanced at her and said casually, "That's enough. In fact, they were wrong first. It's fine if they suspected me of being a trash can, but how could they suspect someone of wanting to jump into a trash can on their own initiative?"
"……Um."
"No, I want to complain!" Ash suddenly realized a problem: "Why put a collar on me? I can't crawl under the table!"
Weisser popped up and glanced at him, "Wait a moment, let's discuss this."
Ten seconds later, Weisser popped up again: "After discussion, there is no problem with your collar."
“Why?”
"That is a reasonable risk assessment based on your performance last night."
Now not only Felix, but even Deda Rose couldn't help but look up at Ash. Ash opened his mouth, his face burning like fire, and silently took out a magazine from the side and held it upright to cover his face.
On the other side, the four operators high-fived each other to celebrate this small victory.
