Wanjie plays Collapse Iron: It is very simple to fill it in next time

What a coincidence...

Even if it is put into a novel, it will be criticized by picky readers, right?

"But Silva was recommended by Bronya. There's nothing strange about her knowing the information about the star core, right?" Bronya rolled her eyes at Kiana, thinking she was making a fuss out of nothing.

Kiana argued angrily, "But Bronya herself doesn't even know the existence of the star core!"

Bronya sighed:

"But she knew that Shiluwa was expelled from the Silver Mane Guard by Cocolia for inexplicable reasons."

"After watching Swarovski's video with the train crew, it's normal to speculate the real reason why Sylva was expelled from the Silver Mane Guard, right?"

"What's normal about this?!"

Kiana wanted to retort, but she also knew that once she said this, she would appear stupid.

…………

"When I was a member of the City Builders and working in the Research Department, I was researching star cores."

“I never thought that after being expelled from the City Builders, I would hear this word again…”

【Shiluwa couldn't help laughing twice】

"Come, I'll tell you everything I know."

[Shiluwa took a big sip of water and continued:]

“Few people in Beloberg know of the existence of the star core; even if they did, they wouldn’t connect it to the source of the rift and the cold wave.”

"But according to the data stored by the robot Swarlow... the City Builders had actually discovered the truth long ago, but they deliberately hid the results to ensure they were not known to the outside world."

"It's just bad luck... out of so many options, I chose the Star Core. It seems anyone who tries to touch the truth about the Star Core will be expelled and dealt with."

Shiluwa said self-deprecatingly, "Perhaps I should be grateful to Cocolia. She simply drove me away and didn't take more permanent measures..."

…………

Teyvat Continent,

Mondstadt, Cat's Tail Tavern,

Under the disgusted gaze of the cat bartender, Rosalia picked up a glass of spicy-looking drink and drank most of it with her head tilted back.

The bad nun, with blushing cheeks, finally opened her mouth:

"That guy Sambo must know that Xiluwa once studied star cores."

Next to him, his drinking buddy, who was wearing an eye mask, nodded in agreement:

"But the result is good, and that's enough."

…………

"Can we talk to Jeppard?" Star tries to add his teammates.

Who knew that Xiluwa's brain worked faster than an electric fan?

"Jeppad? Don't... He's a very honest man, but he's known for being stubborn."

"My brother takes orders more seriously than anything else. Even if you shove Bronya's letter in his face, he won't waver."

"Talking to him requires skill. If I want to convince him, I'm afraid I'll have to take action—"

[Speaking of this, the smile on Shiluwa's face became a little awkward.]

"But I haven't figured out a strategy yet."

…………

St. Freya Academy,

Theresa, who was sitting in the dean's office reading comics, shuddered and subconsciously stuffed the Homunculus comics spread out on the table back into the drawer.

"Alas~ It's all the fault of that stubborn girl Youlan Dell."

"When I hear the word 'stubborn', I feel uncomfortable all over, as if someone is trying to lecture me..."

…………

"Do you know Cocolia's purpose?" Xing continued to ask.

【But Xiluwa shook her head again:】

"Cocolia... We haven't spoken in years. We used to be very good friends, and we could talk about anything."

According to Shiluwa, Cocolia has become a completely different person since taking the position of Grand Guardian.

All the faith and passion I once held have vanished.

After personally issuing the order to expel Shiluwa, he refused to see her.

[Shiluwa even thought that Kokolia, who was sitting in the position of the Great Guardian, was actually someone else]

"Perhaps the guardian is a consciousness passed down from generation to generation, and the real Cocolia has disappeared."

[Shiluwa spread his hands and joked]

[Xing asked again: "How much do you know about star cores?"]

"I figured out the Star Core is related to the Rift, and I'm very close to the truth." Sylva sighed regretfully, "It's a shame I was expelled from the City Builders before I could prove the Star Core was the origin of the Rift."

"Before I was fired, I was applying for a field survey of a stellar core. Although it was my research topic, I had never seen one in person. All my research was based on historical data and simulations built in the laboratory."

"I was disciplined not long after I submitted the initial research report and application. It was clear that someone didn't want the research to continue."

Applying for on-site survey of the star's core?

[Xing's eyes lit up instantly]

She immediately asked, "Do you know where the star core is?"

[Shiluwa nodded as a matter of course: "I know."]

…………

"what!?"

At St. Freya Academy, Kiana screamed.

So... we've found the location of the star's core?

"Isn't this too smooth?"

Kiana scratched her ears, feeling that everything in front of her was so unreal.

"After all, she's Jeppard's sister, Cocolia's best friend... and someone recommended by Bronya. It's normal for her to know the location of the star core."

Bronya nodded proudly.

…………

"Although I haven't seen it in person, I've made a rough estimate of its location using simulations and field surveys."

"According to survey results, the star core is probably located north of Beloberg—somewhere in the vast snowfield."

[For the train crew, the faster they find the star core, the better, preferably before Cocolia takes action.]

[But Shiluwa said with difficulty that this road is far from being as easy as it sounds.]

Chapter 137 Jeppard's Raid

According to Shiluva, the area north of Beloberg was almost completely swallowed by the Rift.

[“To reach the northern snowfields, you must first pass through the Silver Mane Iron Guard’s front-line restricted area.”]

"Even if we manage to get through the Iron Guard restricted area safely, there's still a massive Rift Barrier blocking the way."

[The Iron Guard restricted area is where the main force of the Silver Mane Iron Guard is stationed]

The vast rift world that Shiluwa mentioned was completely different from the alleys and Rivet Town next to the Goethe Hotel. It was a truly fragmented and lifeless rift world.

[In other words, to reach the location of the star core, you need to break through the two lines of defense of the Silver Mane Iron Guard and the Rift Creatures in succession.]

…………

The world of Akame ga Slash,

Leone spread his hands expressionlessly:

"I don't feel surprised at all..."

Lubbock sat in his chair and shrugged.

"After all, the rift was caused by the star core, so it's natural for it to form around the star core."

Myne, leaning on the sofa, added:

"It is only natural that the Silvermane Guard, responsible for defending the Rift, would be stationed between Beloberg and the Rift."

…………

Sanyueqi looked troubled upon hearing this, and hesitated, "It sounds like... just the three of us plus Xi'er isn't enough. Should we go back underground and have Dihuo join us?"

Dan Heng immediately poured cold water on him: "I'm afraid time won't allow it."

[The expression on Sanyueqi's face froze]

【Shouldn't it be sent?】

[Xing read this meaning from Sanyueqi's despairing eyes.]

[This is not the case of March 7th, where you boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige]

[I don't think the train crew plus Seele can't defeat the Silvermane Guards and the Rift Monsters.]

[The main thing is that they have to arrive before Cocolia and the Star Core are destroyed, and they can't be slowed down by the Silver Mane Iron Guards and the Rift Monsters.]

[And the train crew, who are upright and compassionate, cannot kill innocent Silver Mane Iron Guards.]

[It’s not that March 7th is afraid of them]

[At this moment, Shiluwa's heavenly voice was heard:]

"Well, don't be so pessimistic! When I was in public service, I often traveled around the north and got to know the soldiers and officers at the front very well."
