Collapse Iron: What does it mean to broaden the fate of four people in one sentence?

No money for medical treatment? Earth Fire has food? Earth Fire has a canteen. Encountering trouble? Earth Fire has someone to step in.

He paused for a moment.

"Of course, it's not for free. Those who have the conditions will pay some dues. Those who don't have the conditions will be able to contribute in the future. Anyway, we will live together."

Lin Si's lips curled up slightly.

The once mighty Silver Mane Iron Guard, their fate uncertain, their journey fraught with peril, their spirits broken.

This Oleg is more than just a "local tyrant".

He was an idealist.

Moreover, he is an idealist who is willing to take action for his ideals, and Lin Si likes this kind of person.

Just then, a voice came from the doorway:

"Wow, it's so lively?"

A middle-aged man with white hair pushed open the door and entered.

The room fell silent for a second.

then.....

"happy birthday!!!"

Everyone shouted in unison, their voices so loud they seemed to lift the roof off.

Oleg was clearly stunned.

He looked at the room full of colorful balloons, the walls covered with blessings, and the children rushing towards him, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Grandpa Oleg!"

Happy birthday, boss!

"happy birthday!"

The children rushed over first, stuffing gifts into his arms.

Some are hand-folded paper flowers, some are pretty stones picked up, and some are simply crooked drawings.

Oleg fumbled to catch it, but a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

"This...this...I completely forgot today is my birthday!"

He scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Oh, thank you everyone! Thank you everyone!"

A young man with red hair squeezed in front of him and handed him a package.

“Master, this is my gift.”

Oleg took it and patted him on the shoulder.

"Good lad."

The atmosphere was instantly filled with joy and harmony.

Seele waited a while, and when she saw that most of the gifts had been given out, she stepped forward.

"Leader."

She took a map out of her pocket, spread it on the table next to her, and pointed to an area.

"We finished clearing this mining area last night. Tomorrow we can talk to the person in charge and arrange for people to start mining!"

Oleg went over to take a look and raised an eyebrow.

"This mining area? I remember there were quite a lot of Rift Monsters there. You cleared it out in one night?"

He looked up and glanced around behind Seele.

"Is anyone injured?"

Seele's lips curled up slightly.

"I'm not injured, but..."

She paused for a moment, then grabbed Lin Si's wrist and pulled him in front of Oleg.

"They did the most work! We just assisted them!"

Lin Si was pulled so hard she stumbled, and the hood of her duck-patterned pajamas swayed.

He and Oleg stood facing each other.

Eyes wide open.

Oleg remained silent for three seconds.

His gaze moved from Lin Si's face to the blue and white duck pajamas, and then to the duck head hat.

Then it was moved back.

There was another three seconds of silence.

He suddenly felt like he was falling behind the times.

Young people these days... what's wrong with their taste in clothing...?

Never mind, it's a personal preference. It should be respected.

Lin Si didn't care what he thought.

He opened his system inventory and took out an item.

It was a badge.

In Bronya's room, Lin Si basically put all the seemingly useful items into the game system's inventory.

Since Oleg was once a Silvermane Iron Guard, he would definitely recognize this.

It also saves some trouble of introducing oneself and announcing one's identity.

Medals for the City Builders

[Type: Special Item]

[Description: A badge of honor awarded by the builders to those who made contributions, symbolizing their dedication to Berlöberg.]

[Note: This may have profound significance for some people.]

Lin Si stepped forward and handed the badge to Oleg.

"Oleg, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Oleg looked down at the badge.

His pupils contracted sharply, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.

But he quickly returned to normal.

He looked up and gave Lin Si a deep look, but he didn't say anything.

He simply took the badge and weighed it in his hand.

Then he laughed.

The laughter was even more genuine than before.

"Well, since we're all in the lower district, let's all be friends."

He put away the badge and patted Lin Si on the shoulder.

"Welcome to the Earth Fire."

Chapter 26 I, Bronya Rand, will soon succeed the High Guardian.

Although Oleg's birthday party was lively, the essential conditions were clearly lacking.

Instead of a cake, they used a slightly larger suncake and made a wish while the children closed their eyes.

The children cheered when they blew out the little candle stuck in the pancake.

"What did Grandpa Oleg wish for?"

"It won't work if you say it out loud!"

"How would we know if you don't tell us?"

"Idiot, you can't say a wish out loud!"

Oleg laughed and patted the children on the head.

As Pera watched this scene, the smile on her face slowly faded.

She recalled the birthday party in the upper district. The exquisite cakes, the expensive gifts, and the elegantly dressed people clinking glasses.

Here, a pancake, a few handmade trinkets, and a group of children wearing patched clothes are laughing more happily than anyone else.

More ruthless than anyone else

Lingke also fell silent.

She looked at the children, her rabbit ears drooping, lost in thought.

Bronya herself has remained silent since arriving in Rocky Town.

She looked at the children, at their simple smiles, and at the white-haired middle-aged man who made a wish for them.

She suddenly remembered what her mother had said.

"Necessary sacrifices."

Is this the sacrificed lower zone?

Are these people, these children, "worth sacrificing"?

She didn't know how to answer the question.

She wanted to see what this demon king thought when faced with this problem.

After Oleg finished making his wish and dealing with the children, he glanced at Lin Si and the other two.

Then he quietly walked over.

"Chat?"

Lin Si nodded.

He stood up and followed Oleg outside.

Pera and Ling exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

Seele and the red-haired youth noticed what was happening and followed them out.

Sambo stood at the door and waved to them, but did not follow.

"You guys chat, I'll wait here."

Oleg led his group through several alleys to a building.

Lin Si raised an eyebrow, and Oleg pushed open the door.

"Nata, we have a guest. May I ask if you have a place to chat?"

A blue-haired woman was bandaging the wound of a miner with an injured arm. She looked up and paused, then paused, staring at the three people in animal pajamas behind Oleg.

But she didn't ask anything, she just pointed to the small room.

"Go ahead, but don't take too long. Keep your voice down, there are still patients here."

Oleg nodded and walked toward the small room.

Lin Si followed.

Seele and the red-haired youth exchanged a glance and then walked in.

The room wasn't large; it contained a table, a few chairs, and some medical equipment hanging on the wall. It looked like Nata's resting place.

Oleg sat down at the table and gestured for Lin Si and the other two to sit down.

"Please sit down."
