31: Treasure chest obtained
Shortly after Princess Luna took her seat, the train smoothly began its journey.
Outside the window, the emerald green fields, winding rivers, majestic mountains, and bustling towns interspersed among them formed a flowing scroll of scenery in the fleeting light and shadows.
The rhythmic interweaving of wheels and tracks created a unique melody, becoming the most pleasant background music in the carriage.
Princess Luna's gaze was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery outside the window; she gently turned her head, and her eyes, as deep as the night sky, reflected the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Dragon Kingdom.
She couldn't help but sigh softly, praising sincerely: "The Dragon Kingdom is truly beautiful, more beautiful than many countries I have visited."
In this world, due to the existence of treasure chests, many countries have fallen into chaos and panic.
These treasure chests, like Pandora's Box, unleash countless rampaging monsters and rampant evil spirits whenever they appear, plunging the land into a scene of widespread desolation.
Therefore, whether it was towering mountains or vast wilderness, none were immune to this terrifying Qi, and the overall environment naturally deteriorated to an extreme degree.
However, due due to the existence of the Special Guard Team in the Dragon Kingdom, the domestic environment was relatively stable, with only some desolate wilderness areas possibly harboring ghosts and monsters.
"I wonder if the scenery of Tianhe City is also as beautiful," Princess Luna suddenly brought up her destination for this trip.
"I am very familiar with Tianhe City; it's very beautiful, and I studied there for several years of university."
Han Fei smiled, and at the same time, he asked curiously: "But honestly, Tianhe City is not a tourist destination, so why did you choose to go there?"
Luna seemed to be lost in thought, as if recalling something, then she said softly: "I want to visit the Martyrs' Cemetery in Tianhe City."
"Martyrs' Cemetery..."
Han Fei raised his eyebrows, recalling the Martyrs' Cemetery in Tianhe City.
The final battleground of the 'Devil King Extermination War' was what is now Tianhe City.
The intensity of that decisive battle was so great that it was said to change the heavens and earth, dimming the sun and moon.
The Heroic Faction gathered its strongest lineup, led by the Hero, to carry out a decapitation strike against the Devil King.
However, the Devil King's methods exceeded everyone's expectations; all the powerful individuals, except for the Shining Knight and Hero Ye Fan, perished at the Devil King's hands in an instant.
Ultimately, the Hero, burning all his bones and blood, miraculously suppressed and Sealed the Devil King in the deep, boundless waters of the Tianhe River, ending that century-long war.
That extremely tragic decisive battle was deeply etched in the hearts of the world, and to commemorate the heroes who bravely sacrificed themselves in the battle, people meticulously built a solemn and grand Martyrs' Memorial Hall in the bustling heart of Tianhe City.
Every year during specific seasons, people from all over the world flock to this place, either holding flowers or standing in silent tribute, expressing their deepest respect and remembrance for the fallen heroes in their own ways.
Thinking of this, Han Fei suddenly remembered that the annual Martyrs' Memorial Day in Tianhe City was only half a month away.
"Are you going to attend the Tianhe Memorial Day in half a month?"
Princess Luna gently stroked the magic cake treasure chest in her hand and smiled, stating frankly: "Yes, my trip to Tianhe City this time is to attend that annual Martyrs' Memorial Day."
"You should also know that the founder of our Radiance Kingdom was the sole survivor of that final decisive battle. He once said when founding the kingdom that every citizen of the Radiance Kingdom must visit the Tianhe City Martyrs' Cemetery once in their lifetime to commemorate the great heroes who rest in Tianhe City."
"I have always admired those martyrs who sacrificed their lives for world peace, so I specially arranged this trip, wanting to personally pay my respects to them and express my reverence."
Han Fei nodded and then said: "The Education Bureau of Tianhe City organizes all teachers and students in the city to visit the Martyrs' Memorial Hall every year, so we might even meet that day."
Luna gently stroked the invisible ring on her finger and said with a smile: "That would be wonderful; I hope to accompany Mr. Han on that day."
...Luna did not stay in Han Fei's carriage for too long; after only a brief conversation of about ten minutes, she quietly took her leave with an apologetic expression.
"Mr. Han, I'm truly sorry for taking up your valuable time. Please accept this treasure chest as my apology."
Luna placed the magic cake treasure chest on the table and slowly pushed it towards Han Fei.
"This, this gift is too valuable, how can I accept it..."
Although he politely refused with his words, the curiosity and desire for the treasure chest in his heart were hard to conceal.
Before his words even fell, his hand had unconsciously reached for the delicious-looking treasure chest, his fingers tightly gripping the cool yet smooth metallic edge, the subtle touch making his heart pound.
"Please accept it, Mr. Han. If you truly feel uncomfortable, then when we arrive in Tianhe City, if I encounter any trouble and ask for your help, please do not refuse," Luna said with a somewhat serious tone.
"This... alright, I promise you, if you truly encounter something, I can help you within my capabilities."
Han Fei nodded, then 'reluctantly' took the magic cake treasure chest into his hand.
Princess Luna smiled gently, her smile blooming like a spring flower, beautiful and dignified.
"Well then, Mr. Han, and this beautiful Young Miss, I will no longer disturb your journey. I look forward to meeting you again in Tianhe City."
Princess Luna elegantly bowed and, accompanied by her two attendants, left the carriage.
