Only after hearing a woman's voice from inside did Sangbo lower his head and push the door open to enter.

Cocolia, who was sitting behind her desk working on official business, looked up at Sambo, who was wearing a helmet, and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Great Guardian, four citizens from the Lower District have come to the Upper District today. They have the necessary passes. Since no one from the Lower District has come up here for many years, I brought copies of their passes for you to see."

"Lower district?"

Upon hearing those three words, Cocolia's brows furrowed immediately. She took the document from Sambo and began to examine it carefully, while also glancing up at Sambo once more.

Your voice sounds unfamiliar.

Sambo explained with a smile, "I was only recently transferred by Lady Bronya to be in charge of security work in Kreberburg, so it's normal that you feel unfamiliar with me."

"Ah."

Cocolia replied calmly, then focused all her attention on the several half-body photos on the pass in her hand.

Apart from Seele's relatively normal half-body photo, the other three half-body photos are more like candid shots than photos intended for identification.

Moreover, the three men's clothing was completely unlike the local style in Belleburg.

Cocolia grew increasingly suspicious, so she looked up at Sambo and asked, "Where are these four people?"

Seeing that Cocolia had taken the bait, Sambo quickly and respectfully replied, "The four of them went with Lady Bronya to the front-line base in the north, saying they were going to help maintain the facilities there."

"north?!"

Cocolia's eyes narrowed immediately. It wasn't that she was being overly suspicious, but rather that what was hidden in the north was something that absolutely could not be found by anyone.

"I know, you go down first."

"Yes, Lord Great Guardian."

Sambo quietly left the room, and after closing the office door behind him, he finally couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"Hehehe, the plot is finally on track. Now the big boss should notice the main characters, right? Hmm, I should go get the camera and head north to film a blockbuster! If I can capture this battle, it will definitely make those guys in the tavern burst into laughter."

Sambo removed his Silvermane Iron Guard armor and hummed a cheerful tune as he skipped away from Crippleburg.

Inside the office, Cocolia stopped working on the documents she was working on and leaned back in her chair, looking out the window.

Her gaze fell on the glass, and she could almost see another version of herself, wearing an ice mask, whispering softly to her.

'You're out of time. You probably guessed it already; those three people aren't from the lower district.'

"Whether they are or not is unimportant."

'That's right, the north must not be allowed to pass.'

"I know, maybe it's time to move it up."

————————————————————

That night, Jepard felt it was the noisiest yet safest night he had ever had.

Every now and then, outside the city walls, rift creatures would be blasted into the air with a scream before crashing heavily to the ground with a thud.

Most of the Silvermane Iron Guards slept peacefully to the sound of the Rift creatures' screams, while Jepard thought how wonderful it would be if there were a few more Iron Guards on the front lines, then no one would have to sacrifice themselves.

Meanwhile, Xing He approached Bronya, who hadn't rested yet.

“Miss Bronya, I’ve come to collect my payment.”

Danheng and his group planned to make an excuse to return to Beloborg early tomorrow morning, and then slip away to the depths of the northern snowfield.

If we don't get our payment now, we might not get it later.

Bronya said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xing He, as you know, I came here to support the front lines. I didn't bring that many diamonds and emeralds with me, and I didn't bring many Winter City coins either. How about I give you an IOU first?"

"Yeah, that's okay."

Although he was somewhat hesitant, Xing He nodded in agreement.

Bronya isn't like him, able to carry a bunch of stuff with her. Besides, if the other party doesn't give it to her, then he shouldn't blame her for turning into a raider afterward.

By then, the entire Belleburg will be his! No one will owe Steve anything.

Bronya breathed a sigh of relief when Xing He agreed.

"Yes, please believe me, once you return to Belloberg, someone will immediately present you with your salary."

"That's fine."

After saying goodbye to Bronya, Xing He returned to his companions.

On March 7th, Xing He, who had just returned, glanced at him and asked, "Did you get the things?"

Xing He shook his head: "No, it was just as expected."

After a moment of contemplation, Dan Heng said, "After we seal the star core, shall we accompany you back to Beloborg? As for now, Xing He, can you sense the location of the star core?"

Xing He glanced at the mini-map, which didn't show any markers for the star core. Just as he was about to look away, a punctuation mark flashed across the mini-map.

Before the punctuation disappeared, Xing He noticed its name.

[Cocolia, the Mother of Deception]

Chapter 54 The BOSS is in position, let's set off immediately!

"Such speed, almost as fast as an Enderman teleporting."

Xing He muttered something and turned off the minimap, but the words "Cocolia" seemed somewhat familiar to him.

It seems someone previously said that Cocolia is the current Grand Guardian?

But this is a frontline base, and Cocolia disappeared in the direction deep north of the snowfield. What was she doing there? For the Star Core?

Xing He immediately turned to Dan Heng beside him and said, "I just saw Cocolia heading north towards the snowfield."

"Cocolia?" ×4

Not only were Danheng and his two companions astonished, but Hilva was also quite surprised to hear the name Cocolia. She blurted out involuntarily, "What's she doing deep in the snowfield? What's worth seeing there... perhaps a star core?"

Danheng stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Obviously, this is the only possibility. Otherwise, I can't think of any other way to make a great guardian disregard his busy schedule and go to the depths of the snowfield. But why now?"

March 7th frowned, pouted, and muttered, "I have a bad feeling about this..."

“Me too,” Seele echoed, then turned to Xing He and asked, “Can’t we just leave tonight?”

Hiluva, however, had a different opinion and decisively rejected Seele's suggestion: "No, not to mention that leaving directly at night might arouse Bronya's suspicion, the temperature in the snowfield at night is extremely low, and there are a lot of monsters. I'm afraid we won't be able to safely reach the depths of the snowfield with just a few of us."

“While Hilva’s point is valid, judging from Cocolia’s strange behavior, we don’t have much time left.”

Dan Heng briefly analyzed the current situation and felt a bit of a headache. He then turned to Xing He and asked, "Although we don't know what Cocolia's purpose is, we must not let her succeed. Xing He, do you have a way to get us deep into the snowfield in the middle of the night?"

"Yes, it is, but I can't be sure."

Xing He took out a workbench and placed it aside, then began putting things into it to begin making the product.

When Hiluva saw such a big thing suddenly appear beside her, she was also taken aback and couldn't help but walk over and take a closer look.

"what is this?"

March 7th proudly explained to her from the side, "This is Xing He's workbench for making all sorts of amazing props, isn't it amazing!"

Xing He worked for a while, then took out a bunch of torches from the workbench and distributed two to each person.

"Try holding them in your hands and see if they warm you up."

Because the original Minecraft doesn't have a temperature setting, it only has a brightness value. He doesn't feel cold, and he doesn't know if a torch can provide warmth.

As soon as everyone picked up the torches, they could clearly feel the temperature around them rise considerably, but Hiluva was still somewhat worried about it.

"I'm afraid that won't work. You came here from outside the planet, so you probably don't know how terrifying the cold waves on the snowfield are. Any liquid will freeze into a solid in an instant on the snowfield, and your breath will turn into a cloud of ice mist. This torch will probably go out very soon."

Xing He grinned at this and said, "Don't panic. As long as you hold this torch in your hand, it won't go out even if you jump into the water."

"How can this be...?"

Hilva originally intended to refute, but when she thought about how Xing He had repaired the bridge mechanism and the alarm clock with just a little bit of redstone dust, and considering that they came from another planet, she wondered if they really had such technology.

"That works too. Shall we get started now?"

"That's natural."

Xing He immediately pulled out his pickaxe and dug four blocks in the ground. At the same time, he looked up and told the people above, "You guys take care of things up there. I'll dig a passage to the outside of the city wall first."

"no problem."

Hilva found a piece of paper and a pen, wrote down a random excuse to say goodbye to Bronya, and then placed the paper on the table with a heavy object.

After that, the group jumped into the pit one after another. Dan Heng was the last to jump in. He moved the table over to block the pit and then crawled under the table.

The group walked through the narrow cave, their torches illuminating the smooth, neat rock walls around them, which Shiluwa found truly amazing.

On March 7th, remembering Tie Ge still fighting the Rift creatures at the city gate, he couldn't help but ask Xing He, who was leading the way, "Xing He, what about that big guy? Are we going to leave it there?"

Xing He continued working, recalling how he had left Tie Ge inside the Rift Realm, and how it had still followed him to the front-line base.

"It's alright, it will catch up on its own. Even if the Silvermane Iron Guards notice that it keeps heading outwards, they will at most assume that it is venturing deeper into the snowfields to hunt down creatures from the Rift."

"Oh."

Meanwhile on the other side.

Bronya had been watching Irongo fight from the city wall for a long time when she suddenly saw it heading into the depths of the snowfield. She quickly came down from the city wall and went into the camp that was specially provided for Hilva and the others to rest.

"Mr. Xing He, the robot you created suddenly walked into the snowfield. Is it really alright...? Where is it?"

Bronya looked around but didn't find Xing He or the others in the camp. Instead, she saw a piece of paper weighed down by a heavy object on the table in the center.

Bronya walked over curiously, picked up the heavy object, and the thin paper fluttered to the ground in the wind.

Bronya instinctively bent down to pick it up, but out of the corner of her eye she noticed a hole in the floor directly under the table.
