……

On the other side, Yan sat on a bench in the square of the administrative district, patted his pocket, and found that he had run out of Furongwang cigarettes.

"Oh dear, I'm out of cigarettes."

Yan frowned.

I wanted to take a smoke break and ask the passersby about the current situation in Belleburg.

At this time.

A beautiful figure stopped in front of him.

The girl was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with delicate features, and was elegant and stylish.

Her silver-white curly hair was tied into three strands at the back.

"A triple-turbocharged duck?!"

Yan looked up abruptly and discovered that the person who had come was Bronya.

The girl seemed to be in a bad mood, but she still asked Yan Huan:

"Who are you? I don't think I've ever seen you before."

Yan's eyes widened:

"No, I mean, isn't it normal that you haven't seen me before? There are so many people here, do you remember every single one of their faces?"

"Yes, I remember them all."

"..."

"So, who are you?"

"..."

"please answer my question."

"It all started on a cold winter night. Have you ever heard of Furongwang cigarettes? Adults and children alike love to smoke them."

Chapter 47 Great Guardian, want one?

after awhile.

Administrative region.

At the entrance of a convenience store.

A pretty young girl is quietly queuing up.

The residents ahead of her in line panicked.

They hurriedly finished buying their things and quickly escaped from the line in front of Bronya.

They ran to the back to observe.

What exactly will Bronya, the commander of the Silvermane Iron Guard, buy at the convenience store?

Finally, Bronya arrived at the window.

Her eyes were red, as if she had just been crying.

"Um... hello, what would you like to buy?"

Bronya clutched her sleeves, lowered her head, and stammered:

"One pack... Furongwang."

In the distance, Bronya was seen receiving a pack of Furongwang cigarettes at the entrance of a convenience store.

Pera, an intelligence officer for the Silvermane Iron Guard, immediately took off her glasses, wiped them, and put them back on.

"Good heavens, am I seeing things? Bronya is buying cigarettes?!"

As Bronya's friend, Pera quickly went over to her.

Hearing footsteps, Bronya looked up and saw Pella running towards her.

"Pera, why are you running so fast?"

"That's not the point. What are you holding in your hand?!" Pera pointed at the packet of Furongwang cigarettes, her expression incredulous.

She thought she had misread it because she was too far away, but it really was smoke.

“This is King hibiscus, hasn’t Pera seen it before?” Bronya said casually.

"No, I know it's Furongwang cigarettes. What I mean is, why would you buy Furongwang cigarettes?"

Pera's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Bronya had always been a well-behaved girl, always acting elegantly and properly. Why would she be queuing up at the convenience store to buy Furongwang cigarettes?

She...she hasn't gone astray, has she?!

“Pera,” Bronya sighed, “what do you think the lockdown has actually brought to the lower districts?”

"what?"

Pera pulled Bronya aside and asked suspiciously, "Why would someone of your status ask this? What would ordinary people think if they heard this?!"

Bronya put the Furongwang candy into her pocket and sighed, "Just now, I met a reclusive doctor. He left the city when he was very young and now plans to come back to use his medical skills to benefit everyone."

At this point, Bronya felt extremely distressed:

“Pera, you should know how difficult it is to survive outside the city.”

Pera nodded:

“I understand. The area outside the city is almost completely swallowed up by the Rift, and it's full of monsters.”

“Mm,” Bronya replied, bowing her head.

"It was in this environment that a reclusive physician, raised by his master, returned to the city today. He said... he used to be a child in the lower district orphanage, and asked me how the lower district is now, saying he misses it very much."

Pella: “…”

Bronya: "He also said that as a member of the Lower District, he would repay the builders when he returned. When he entered the city gate, he used his superb medical skills to heal a large number of Silvermane Iron Guards' hidden injuries without charging any fees."

Bronya lowered her head and whispered:

He also said that his master had passed away in the snowfield. When his master was alive, he loved to talk about Furongwang cigarettes. So he thought of buying a pack to remember his master.

Pera suddenly realized:

"Bronya, so this is why you bought cigarettes? I thought you..."

Bronya looked up and blinked:

"What do you think I am?"

Pera: "Haha, it's nothing."

Bronya continued with a melancholy tone:

“Pera, can you imagine the pressure I felt when someone like him asked me how things were in the lower districts?”

Pera nodded and fell silent.

The lower levels have long been abandoned, with only the earth marrow and the furnace core conveyor belts for supplies still in operation. The Silvermane Iron Guards have also retreated to the upper levels more than a decade ago, and the situation below is probably in dire straits.

“Then… Bronya,” Pera looked up and said earnestly, “did you tell him about the situation in the lower districts?”

Bronya shook her head and said self-deprecatingly:

“I didn’t dare. As someone from the underground, he was still devoted to Belloberg. But we have already let down the lower district. I don’t know how to face him now.”

Pera swallowed hard; she finally understood why Bronya had been so anxious.

If it were her, she wouldn't be able to stay calm either.

“Then let’s go together. We can’t let such a respectable doctor stay in the dark forever. It’s our responsibility to take on this responsibility.”

“Okay.” Bronya nodded. “Then let’s go find him. Hopefully… he won’t be too disappointed in us after he finds out the answer.”

……

Administrative region.

square.

Yan sat sprawled out on the bench, waiting quietly.

Finally, he saw Bronya, with a girl wearing glasses next to her.

"Um, Yan Huan, I've bought the Furongwang cigarettes you wanted."

Bronya handed the Furongwang cigarette to Yan Huan, who happily accepted it and immediately opened it.

I gave one to Bronya and one to Pera.

"Thank you, you guys smoke too, you guys smoke too, don't be shy with me."

Bronya and Pera: "..."

The two looked at each other, neither of them wanting to refuse, so they each took a cigarette and put it in their pockets.

"Thank you for your kindness," Bronya said politely with a smile.

"I don't know, what are your plans now? Do you have a place to stay in the upper district?" Bronya continued to ask.

Yan shook his head and put the Furongwang cigarette into his clothes. "No, I originally wanted to stay at the Goethe Hotel, but I did some calculations and I know there will be trouble there in the next few days, so I don't want to stay there."

Pera's eyes widened:

"You can tell fortunes?!"

Yan waved his hand:

"Oh, it's nothing to brag about. I know quite a lot of things, like healing people, fighting, and escaping, I know a little bit about all of them."

Bronya nodded.

She originally wanted to tell Yan Huan about the lockdown order right now, but after thinking about it, she decided to let Yan Huan adjust for a while, which might make it easier for her to accept.
