The homeless people in the camp had already noticed them.

Or rather, they noticed him and Hiluva.

Those looks were very unfriendly.

There was vigilance, hostility, and an inexplicable... hatred.

Lin Si looked down at her uniform, which was clearly in the style of the upper district, and then at Hilva's clean and neat leather jacket.

have to.

It is indeed quite eye-catching.

Hiluva shrugged.

"That's just how it is, Miss Seele. It seems we'll have to ask you for help again."

"rest assured,"

Seele patted her chest.

"With me here, no one can touch you."

Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd.

The little girl with white hair and red eyes walked out from the crowd.

She was barefoot, stepping on the cold ground, yet she seemed completely oblivious to the cold.

The homeless people in the camp fell silent the moment they saw her.

Oleg had clearly noticed the little girl as well.

His expression softened, and he stepped forward, saying loudly:

“I am Oleg, leader of the Earthfire. Is Swaro here? We would like to speak with him.”

The little girl blinked and then quickly waved to Oleg.

“Uncle Oleg, it’s Clara. What do you need Mr. Schwarz for?”

Oleg clearly hadn't expected that it would be a little girl who spoke up.

He paused for a moment, then softened his voice.

"Clara, it's nothing, I just wanted to discuss with Schwarzro why we sealed off the heart of the furnace."

Clara was stunned.

Those red eyes glanced at Oleg, then at Seele behind him, and finally settled on Lin Si and Sylva.

She tilted her head, as if she was thinking about something.

Then I quickly realized what was happening.

“Clara doesn’t know why Mr. Schwarzroth would seal the hearth,” she said seriously, “but Mr. Schwarzroth is inside the camp, please come with Clara.”

After she finished speaking, she turned around, bowed to the homeless people in the camp, and thanked them one by one.

"Thank you everyone. Please rest assured, with Mr. Schwarzroth here, Clara will be safe."

The voice was soft, yet carried a heartwarming earnestness.

The homeless people's expressions softened slightly.

But he still looked at Lin Si and Xiluwa with an unfriendly expression.

Lin Si saw all of this.

This little girl should also be a key NPC.

Look at the pomp and circumstance, look at the treatment she received, and look at the way those homeless people looked at her—it was the way they looked at their own children.

It wasn't the kind of awe one shows to important figures, but rather a heartfelt care.

Schwarz's prestige among this group is probably half due to this little girl.

"Let's go."

Oleg turned and glanced at Lin Si, then whispered,

"Stay close to me."

Lin Si nodded, and Clara walked in front. She walked very fast, but would look back from time to time to make sure they were keeping up.

Clara,

Seele moved closer and asked casually,

"What has Schwarzlo been up to lately?"

Clara tilted her head.

"Mr. Schwarzlo is thinking."

"What are you thinking about?"

"Clara doesn't know either,"

The little girl's voice sounded somewhat disappointed.

“Mr. Schwarz has been speaking very little lately, he just stands there, thinking and thinking.”

Passing through piles of discarded parts, the four followed Clara to the deepest part of the camp.

It became quiet here.

There were no noisy human voices, no mechanical roars, only a giant robot.

His imposing figure alone exudes a sense of oppression.

This thing was much bigger than Lin Si had imagined.

Swallow glanced down at the four of them, then his gaze fell on Clara.

"Clara, come behind me."

Clara obediently ran over and hid behind Swallow's huge mechanical legs, only peeking out half of her head.

Schwarzschild's electronic eyes swept over the four people, his voice deep and resonant with a metallic quality.

“Target analysis,”

"Oleg, leader of the Earth Fire."

"Member of Earthfire, Seele."

His gaze lingered on Lin Si and Shiluwa.

"Analyzing... Analysis results: Background: Upper District Silvermane Iron Guard members, Upper District residents. Category: Upper District."

Hiluva looked at Swaro with shining eyes. He really was a robot that could think for itself!

She was even somewhat eager to try, and Lin Si glanced at her, her eyebrows twitching.

What are you so excited about?!

Schwarzlo was silent for two seconds.

"Given Clara's recommendation, I will give you a chance to speak."

"Let's get straight to the point and not waste this world's precious time."

Chapter 41 Social Skills!

"Listening to this guy talk is infuriating."

Seele muttered something to herself, then called out to Swallow:

"Hey! Schwarz! Why did you seal off the heart of the furnace?"

Schwarz turned his electronic eye toward her, his voice remaining flat.

"This is for the protection of the lower-level areas."

He paused for a moment.

"Seele of the Earth Fire, I will regularly inject Earth Essence, which will not affect the survival of the lower areas."

Seele frowned.

Regular distribution? Or charity?

Oleg took a step forward, his tone becoming somber.

"Swarovski, the Hearth belongs to everyone. You seized it without even discussing it with us. Are you trying to start a war with the Earth's fire?"

Just as Schwarz was about to speak,

"Dong dong dong."

A figure had somehow slipped up to him and was tapping his armor with his knuckles.

Schwarzkopf: "..."

He silently turned his head and looked at the leather-clad woman who had sneaked over there at some unknown time.

Hiluva completely ignored his gaze.

She touched Schwarz's mech shell, tapped it up and down, and then, not satisfied with just tapping it, touched it up and down again.

He then moved closer to examine the structure of the seams, looking thoughtful.

His expression was as if he had seen a toy worth taking apart and studying.

Clara looked at the woman in the leather jacket with curiosity and whispered, "Big sister, are you interested in Mr. Schwarz?"

Hiluva, interrupted from her thoughts, scratched the back of her head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Ah, haha. Clara, I'm just curious about the principles behind Mr. Schwarz's high level of intelligence."

She paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up again.

"Look at this joint structure and this reaction speed, this is completely unlike the technology of this era!"

Schwarz did not respond.

Oleg sighed, his face clearly saying, "Miss, can you be a little more serious?"

Seeing the scene unfolding before her, Xi'er leaned closer to Lin Si and lowered her voice:

“Bronya, this lady… she…?”

Lin Si shrugged.

He could understand how Shiluwa felt.

If a technician suddenly discovers that the robot around him has developed its own thoughts, he would certainly be curious about what principle enables it to have self-awareness.

After all, curiosity is the second driving force behind the development of human technology.

As for what is number one?

Lazy, what else can I do?

"Ignore her, let's talk about our own things."

Lin Si manipulated Bronya to take half a step forward, raise her head, and look directly into Schwarz's electronic eyes.

"Swarovski, I have a question for you."

Schwarz turned around and looked at him.

Those electronic eyes blinked, seemingly reassessing the level of authorization for this "Upper District Silver Mane Iron Guard".

“A member of the Silvermane Iron Guard,” he said, “I will answer your question as appropriate.”

This robot is quite arrogant.

Lin Si nodded.

"No matter what your logic is all about, I can roughly guess that you just want the people in the lower districts to live longer. Right?"

Schwarzkopf's single eye flashed red.

"That's right."
