Chapter 152: The Aeon of Beauty and Their Knight!
: I just like the unruly MiHoYo!
: Oh my god, I thought it would be broadcast in the main drama.
: Why do I feel that the more Penacony plays, the more surprises there are.
: Including the main drama this week, at least additional three plots were broadcasted.
: And the new Myriad Celestial Trailer has not been released yet, so cool, so cool!
...
As the number of comments increases, the special episode, also starts on time at 11 o'clock.
---------------------
Still the same black screen and MiHoYo's Logo.
The story continues from the end of Fyxestroll Garden. Stelle returned to the express that was headed to "Washtopia".
According to Pompom's description, they had to leave the Xianzhou and go to the nearby Washtopia station.
As the name suggests, the Washtopia station is a service station that specializes in cleaning services for interstellar navigation equipment.
However, just after Pompom set the route, the express had a small problem.
"It's really strange. Pompom has already set the route, but now the direction of travel is a little off."
"We need to be more vigilant! I wonder if it is some kind of magnetic field that affects the movement of the Express!"
""Stelle, let's go to the control room with Pompom!"
Just as Pompom finished speaking, the camera showed the full picture of the Express.
But in less than a second, an unknown creature passed by the camera.
The originally stable Express suddenly shook.
When the vibration subsided, everyone in the Express group looked out the window. The outside, which was originally full of stars, was strangely dyed pink.
This was the first time they encountered such a strange situation.
Under Pompom's leadership, everyone scattered and began to confirm the situation of the Express and their own situation.
Not long after, Dan Heng brought the latest news.
"Unfortunately, we're completely off course."
"At the same time, the Express was rear-ended by a spaceship."
Listening to Dan Heng's words, even Himeko and Welt were a little confused.
"Rear-end collision… Well, this is the first time this has happened."
Welt pushed his glasses and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The barrage of comments also started to appear at this moment.
...
: Rear-end collision, hahaha, I can't hold it anymore.
: Will there be rear-end collision in space travel?
: Call the space traffic police!
: This red-haired handsome guy, is he a ghost fire boy?
...
Just as the audience was guessing, Argenti, who had boarded the Express due to the collision, officially appeared.
At the tail of the Express, a funny light shone on Argenti and the potted plant in front of him.
"The abnormal state on the other side of the shining universe"
"Spread out like colorful paint"
"You… are really beautiful!"
This tall man in armor was seriously praising the potted plant.
"Huh?" March 7th and Stelle behind were a little confused.
But the light suddenly illuminated March 7th again.
March 7th was shocked.
Not only because of the crazy man in front of her, but also because of the nonsensical light, which actually came out.
This short scene has made the audience feel that the night of Washtopia and the plot of Fyxestroll Garden are both funny plots.
The development of the story seems to confirm everyone's thoughts. Argenti noticed March 7th behind him and was immediately attracted by March 7th.
He walked forward with a flawless, bright and clear look in his eyes, and praised in the same serious manner, "Please allow me to sincerely praise you, you are like a flower in the winter snowfield."
March 7th smiled awkwardly and stepped back.
Until she bumped into Stelle.
"Oh? Another beautiful creature." After seeing Stelle, Argenti's eyes lit up again.
In front of Argenti, Stelle and March 7th were still a little confused.
But they still reported their names.
"Nice to meet you two! Excuse me, I was just explaining the meaning of beauty to this potted plant"
"Forgive me for being so abrupt, but out of habit, I want to ask you two: As life in the universe,"
"Do you know the pure and beautiful goddess Idrila?" Stelle and March 7th looked at each other, "Idrila?"
Seeing that the two of them were not familiar with the name of Idrila, Argenti did not show any emotion and continued to explain with a smile, "The Knights of Pure Beauty travel freely across the planets, spreading the name of Pure Beauty throughout the universe, making all living beings aware of Their existence."
"We strictly demand ourselves with the precepts of faith, temper our bodies and defend our honor."
Stelle took a breath and scratched her head.
Even if Argenti explained it, she still didn't know what Idrila was.
She turned to ask the most concerned question, "Wait a minute, are you really praising the potted plant?"
"Why do you ask? Please don't doubt yourself, Stelle!" Argenti frowned slightly for the first time.
"But you were just praising the potted plants.…" March 7th said from the side.
"What I said and did was absolutely true, I really believe that its heart is as clear as a mirror." Argenti said seriously, his eyes full of sincerity, and at the same time, he also asked the question he wanted to ask the most "Stelle, now that I have briefly introduced you to pure beauty, I am very curious whether you agree with this concept and believe in Idrila!"
This is the third reversal brought to the audience in this short plot.
From thinking it was a comedy to misunderstanding Argenti.
Until now, the audience suddenly found that Argenti seemed to have a problem with his brain.
Stelle and March 7th looked at each other and didn't say anything.
But in Argenti's eyes, this meaning was already very clear.
"Since you don't know the existence of pure beauty, I can only make it appear in the way of chivalry!"
"I beg you to challenge me to a contest of chivalry, and if I am fortunate enough to win, I ask you to acknowledge.…"
"The pure goddess Idrila, with unparalleled beauty!"
March 7th and Stelle were both dumbfounded.
How could one spread faith like this?
They wanted to fight even though they had never heard of the aeons name.
"Sorry, I am not good at speaking." Argenti apologized sincerely, and then a fire ignited in his eyes.
It was a fire born to spread the name of pure beauty.
...
: Damn, when I saw Praise the Potted Plant, I thought it was pervert, but it turns out he is a fanatic.
: No! Now he also likes pervert, let's start the fight.
: It is indeed a fun character.
: The character of Argenti has a bit of the flavor of a medieval knight.
: It seems that this guy really praises everything he thinks is beautiful. Idrila must be very happy to have such a believer.
: But for the Aeon, is this kind of belief really useful?
: When Argenti first appeared, he gave the audience the feeling. He was just a silly handsome man who kept practicing the way of pure beauty.
...
As a result, the audience became more curious about the Aeon Idrila.
On the screen, seeing that the two groups were about to fight on the Express, Welt arrived in time and stopped the fight between Stelle and Argenti.
At this moment, the two groups should be more united and find a way out.
Argenti did not insist on fighting with everyone, but stopped the intention of fighting very sensibly.
He began to look for strange things on the Express.
Stelle, who asked Welt to send him away, talked to another character, Velite.
From the conversation, we learned that Velite was an ordinary IPC employee.
During the journey, he accidentally fell into a cave and was rescued by Argenti driving the 'One and Only'.
In Argenti's mouth, Velite has become a loyal follower of the pure goddess.
However, checking with the actual person in question, the audience saw a realistic and extremely real person.
So real that this person does not seem to be a character that can appear in the Honkai: Star Rail.
His childhood dream was to become a pilot, but when he grew up, under the pressure of his parents and reality, he finally chose the safest path.
Take the civil service exam. Oh no, it's to join the IPC and seek a stable life.
In Honkai: Star Rail's universe, there is no difference between joining the IPC and taking the civil service exam. In the brief conversation, Velite was a man who was completely defeated by reality and lost his ideals while working on the assembly line. He only thought about going home to eat all day.
During the conversation with Stelle, he was always impatient, depressed, and indifferent.
He also felt very bored with Argenti's belief.
Such an ordinary person whose edges have been completely smoothed out by reality, when facing Stelle's request, he was particularly flustered.
"Don't! Don't use that tone, that's moral kidnapping, you know that! Moral kidnapping!"
"Forget it, forget it, I have nowhere to go, so I'll just stay with you guys for now…" Velite shook his head, complained, and started looking for clues with everyone.
In short, this ordinary character still aroused the empathy of the audience.
At this moment, they could not empathize with Argenti, nor could they understand Argenti's enthusiasm for Idrila.
But they could completely empathize with Velite.
...
: It's exactly me.
: If I traveled to the world of Honkai: Star Rail, I would probably be the same as Velite.
: From being full of dreams when I was a child, to being beaten by society… Alas.
: In fact, the complaints and impatience in his mouth can't cover up the fact that this guy is actually a goody-goody.
: Just like us, he shouts every day, but in fact, he will go up to help when he sees someone in need of help…
: Speaking of which, Argenti is too easy to fool. If we faint and have difficulty in traveling to the world of Honkai: Star Rail, and shout Idrila, won't Argenti come to save us?
...
A knight with firm beliefs and a rich spiritual world.
A IPC worker.
A strange group was established at this moment.
The audience is looking forward to what will happen to these two in the next plot.
And the core of the plot.
It also quietly revealed a clue.
As everyone investigated. Strange things happened in the Express.
For example, another identical March 7th.
When everyone, under the leadership of Argenti, drove away the illusion.
They found that it was insects of propagation that caused the accident!
The audience is no stranger to the insects that appeared in the Swarm Disaster.
They just didn't expect that although the aeon of propagation has been dead for so long.
This universe is still full of these insects.
Then, in the process of solving various incidents, Argenti's own uniqueness and charm gradually emerged.
Facing the insects in the room, he was still spreading the way of pure beauty.
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not do these useless things.
But Argenti is different.
Whether it is a creature with or without wisdom, he can discover its inner beauty and sincerely spread the good name of Idrila to it.
This kind of stupid and meaningless behavior in the eyes of the audience has a sharp contrast with the various good qualities of Argenti's own chivalry.
Let the characters in a certain real work gradually overlap with Argenti.
But the good qualities he shows when practicing knight virtues are exactly the same as Argenti now.
And the pure beauty of Argenti's belief is the real Aeon in Honkai: Star Rail.
...
With this weird perspective, the audience continued to watch.
After dealing with the bugs in the Express, Argenti somehow read out the death words of the true bug before it died.
It turned out that they had been swallowed by a Giant Sting, and now they were inside the bug.
Everyone in the Express crew, as well as Argenti Velite, fell silent.
It is very difficult to escape from here.
If the Express warps, it will inevitably attract nearby Sting insects. Although the Aeon of prpagation is dead, the bugs left behind still have terrifying breeding capabilities.
If things go wrong, the Express may be occupied by this group of bugs.
At the same time, this huge stomach is also continuously digesting the Express.
If you stay there for too long, the Express may be melted!
The atmosphere of oppression and despair completely enveloped the Express.
But everyone in the Express crew, at this time, still united and thought of ways, even Velite, an ordinary person, was making plans.
Argenti was watching with a smile on the side.
It seemed that he had made some kind of choice.
He called Stelle aside "Please forgive my abruptness, Stelle. It is very strange for me to ask to talk to you alone."
Argenti sincerely put his hand on his chest and said seriously, "In fact, I had a strong feeling that as a pure and beautiful knight, this was a battle I had to face!"
"I think I can get on the Express and face the giant stinging insect head-on, attack its stomach wall, make it spasm, and send out the Express!"
Stelle's eyes widened at once, "You alone?!" Argenti lowered his head, and then looked at the potted plants next door.
In his opinion, the people in the Express group are the real pure and beautiful seeds. If he wants everyone to understand him, he must explain himself clearly.
"It is difficult for me to describe this feeling, but when I see certain things, I will have a beautiful emotion, which is vague and can only be perceived by instinct."
"Perhaps I have been alone for too long, but… as a knight, my duty is to protect the seeds of beauty and defend Them against everything."
"The Astral Express is this seed. It makes me feel a sense of belonging and the warmth of home."
Argenti said, looking up at the ceiling slightly, but the emotion in his eyes had obviously penetrated this place and went to an unknown place.
His tone gradually became extremely sincere.
"Therefore, I vow to use my body as a shield to defend this ray of warmth. I am willing to protect the seeds of beauty again and again."
"I watch over Them and let Their pure flowers bloom to prove my devotion to Them…"
"It's bound to happen!"
Stelle's eyes flickered: "They are… Idrila?"
Argenti smiled and nodded.
"This is our belief, our life's desire, to defend the beauty of the universe, when we lose our minds in battle."
"I have seen Their footprints countless times, spreading from under my feet and rising to the unknown front."
Stelle asked again "Are they... An Aeon?"
Argenti's eyes showed uncontrollable sadness, "Reason tells me that it is not, but I hope so."
"In that old illusion, I kept running; Their footsteps on the muddy road made me sadder than any cry, and each time, I was just a little closer to seeing Them."
"To see Them, this is my selfish desire"
"It is my duty to protect beauty."
"Fall down, stand up, fall down again, stand up again, wander between life and death, just to get closer to pure beauty."
No matter how abstract Argenti had been in the previous plots, praising flower pots, praising insects, praising everything.
But at this moment, in the eyes of the audience, it has completely changed.
This is just a person, not an Aeon.
But when these words came out, Argenti's tone had been raised to the highest level.
The audience finally understood why Argenti would praise everything.
Pure beauty is not as simple as the literal meaning, but refers to all the beauty in the universe, even regardless of organic or inorganic.
And Argenti, who practices the way of pure beauty, is just a person, not a Aeon.
He also emphasized his selfishness, and even emphasized that in order to fulfill his wishes, he might have to die.
But even so, Argenti is still willing to practice his faith.
This sober and rational state is far better than sacrificing in a hot-blooded manner, which shocked the audience.
Is this the path strider of the pure and beautiful Aeon?
If so, what a noble existence is the pure and beautiful Aeon Idrila themselves.
Just when the audience was completely infected by Argenti's faith, they learned a bombshell from Himeko.
"The Aeon of Pure Beauty Idrila? It is said that they have already fallen"

Happy New Year!!!
