Star Railroad: Great Guardian of Beloberg

"Don't forget. We were connected to the stars back then." Theresa smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Our technology comes from the city builders in the universe, but even if they have technology that is hundreds of times more advanced than ours, guess what they did after they discovered the star core?"

"They couldn't solve the problem, and with the invasion of the antimatter army, they left on their own." Alex nodded calmly. Although some tools were left behind, all the "aliens" were gone.

Who wouldn't be afraid of the cancer of the universe? Don't expect that everyone will stay and fight with you just because of your faith. Leaving behind a creation engine that is strong enough to fight against the antimatter army is already a kindness.

Cocolia showed a helpless look. Even the aliens who had appeared before couldn't solve the problem of the star core?

"All the guardians of the past generations knew that it was the source of the disaster," Theresa said. "But this incident has been erased from history books, because anyone who wants to touch and study the star core will be bewitched by it. Even I can hear it whispering in my ears every night when I fall asleep since I inherited the position of Great Guardian more than a decade ago. It tries to bewitch every Great Guardian, and I have to rely on my will to resist it. And... this is on the premise that I haven't touched it. If I touch it in person..."

Alex remembered that he seemed to have heard it before, but he didn't pay much attention to it and ignored it as a fart.

"It is a very dangerous existence." Theresa told Alex seriously, "Even if you can defeat the Doomdramon, you cannot resist it. It can easily freeze the entire world. Alex, promise me not to explore it or look for it. If you are bewitched, I think Beloberg will not see the sun the next day."

The core of a star is not so easy to solve. If it were possible, the talented people in the universe would have solved it long ago. Beloberg would not be here today. Even though the civilization had advanced with the help of alien travelers, it could not solve the core of a star. It is still difficult now.

How weak is Beloberg now? They can't even repair the fortress, let alone recreate the miracle of building it.

"Maybe we have other ways." Following her mother's advice, Kokolia held down Alex and said, "Don't go looking for it."

You're so worried that I'll be affected by the star core. Alex was silent for a while, then said, "Actually, when I first came here, I also heard the sound of the star core."

"So early?" Theresa was nervous and looked at Cocolia. Cocolia looked a little confused and said, "I seem to have had some strange dreams."

This is something that you should only hear after you inherit the title of Great Guardian.

"But it's gone now." Alex asked, "Mother, can you still hear its sound now?"

Theresa rubbed her forehead, shook her head in confusion, and said, "I haven't heard its voice since the last Rift Invasion."

"Sure enough." Alex said with a smile, "Because it is afraid of me, so it has to hide."

The star core is afraid of you? Both mother and daughter showed surprised expressions. A force that is powerful enough to destroy a world would actually be afraid of Alex?

"Sister, you know I don't believe in the guardian star god, right?"

Alex revealed some secrets and said, "I believe in the most powerful star god in the universe, Void XI. After being frozen, I had the honor of meeting the great star god at the moment of life and death."

Audience? Even though they didn't know much about the universe, the two women could understand the meaning of it. The Great Guardian of the past was given the miraculous power to build a fortress in the snow just by being glanced at by the Star God Klipper. If it was an audience...

Then wouldn't Alex be more powerful than the original Great Guardian?

This can reasonably explain why Doomdramon turned into a puppy in front of him. The two women finally understood where the miracle child's ability came from. Theresa rubbed her temple and said, "This matter cannot be known to anyone."

Everyone thought it was a miracle of preservation, but it was not, and it shook the people of the whole city.

"Although I am not sure whether I can defeat the Star Core, I will never be bewitched by it." Alex said directly: "The essence of my power is far superior to it. So mother, please tell me its intelligence."

Nothingness is the most powerful force in a sense, because it denies everything!

Chapter 17: The Quiet Doctor Natasha

After having meal.

Alex said something to the butler and headed straight for the lower area.

Theresa doesn't know the exact location of the star core, but she knows who knows. The "big guy" robot that once went underground with the Great Pioneer Group but has recently lost contact is the only clue to the location of the star core.

So, he was going to find it - Swarovski.

"It's Master Alex."

"Oh, Master Alex, here here!"

"Hello you all."

Walking out of Klipperburg, almost everyone he met saluted at Alex, and many people even greeted him directly and enthusiastically. Alex could only wave gently in response. He has been a celebrity since he came to Beloberg, from the miracle child to the musical genius, and then to the dragon tamer a few days ago. Nicknames are endless, and any movement he makes will occupy the headlines of major news media.

He looked at the map and thought, well, you have to take a bus to the lower area. So he went directly to the downward passage and prepared to take the bus to the lower area. However, when he arrived at the station, he realized a problem.

I have no money.

No, it's not just about having no money.

In the two months since he came here, he has never seen any money.

Damn it, he had lived too comfortably and didn't realize that he needed to use currency when traveling. He should have asked Peña for some before leaving. He held his forehead helplessly. He didn't plan to use facial recognition to get on the bus. He would have to buy food when he got off the bus. He couldn't rely on his face for every step.

Forget it, let’s go back and get some money.

"Huh, Alex?"

"Aunt Vanessa." Hearing the familiar voice, he turned around and found that it was his original attending physician Vanessa. She was now traveling with a medicine box, accompanied by a black-haired girl two years older than her.

The girl imitated Vanessa and wore a white coat, and she also carried various first aid tools in her hands. Alex's expression changed slightly when he saw her.

This quiet-looking girl is the one who once used him as a trainee, Vanessa's daughter, Natasha.

"Are you planning to go to the lower level area? Do you want to join us?" Vanessa walked up to Alex and said, "It just so happens that I'm taking Natasha to the free clinic."

"Is Natasha old enough to provide free medical services?"

Alex asked in disbelief. This girl was a little older than him, but only thirteen years old at most. The age of a junior high school student.

"Of course, Natasha already has a lot of experience in treatment."

No, no, no, it can’t be that this is accumulated from me in that month, right?

"Master Rand, please give me your guidance." Natasha said gently, her ladylike temperament was evident at a glance, but Alex was a little afraid of her. Anyone who was poked with several needles would have a psychological trauma.

"Well, I was just about to go to the lower area, but I forgot to bring my wallet. Sorry to bother you, Aunt Vanessa."

With someone willing to pay for the trip, Alex naturally didn't bother to go back and forth again. He followed Vanessa and her daughter and took the underground line to the lower district, heading towards the lower district that he had never set foot in before.

"Master Rand."

"Hmm." Alex instinctively shrank back when Natasha, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke. The experience of being examined by Natasha while being bandaged was a bit too humiliating, and he wanted to use the power of nothingness to erase this memory.

"Is there a problem?"

"How was that dragon tamed? Can all Rift Creatures be tamed?"

Natasha raised the question she was concerned about, which was the topic of discussion in the entire Beloberg. Everyone was curious about how such a ferocious creature could become so docile.

"Not all of them can be done. I don't think other people can do it. It's my little secret."

If he injected his power into other Rift Creatures, they would probably collapse and disappear. First of all, one must be intelligent to understand the void, and some guys in the Antimatter Corps can do that. Many people associate Rift Creatures with Antimatter Corps, but they are actually two different things.

If one day Alex becomes strong enough, even the Lord of Destruction will look at him with different eyes.

Natasha nodded thoughtfully and asked, "I heard that dragons are full of treasures. Can you allow me to dissect them? No, take some samples? I want to see if there are any parts that can be used to make medicine."

She was really brave. Alex noticed that Vanessa's expression was a little tense after hearing this, and said, "That can't be considered a living thing. It was made. There are only bones and energy bodies on its body. There is no usable part."

"So that's how it is." Natasha showed a disappointed expression.

If a giant dragon really appeared in front of Natasha, she would probably dare to take it apart and use it. Is a girl who aspires to become a doctor so scary?

As they were speaking, the rail vehicle had already driven out of the darkness and arrived at the hollow area below Beloberg, which is what people often call the lower area.

Alex looked out the window. The yellow rocks formed the walls of the underground town, while the thick stone pillars and the central tower became the pillars, supporting everything in this underground city. He looked at all this in a trance, and at the same time he was a little confused.

The underground pioneers were so powerful back then, why didn't they dig a little further? However, he solved this puzzle himself immediately.

There were also countless cracks and fissures underground. Without the high walls and the intricate passages, there were also dangers everywhere, even more dangerous than the upper areas.

"Although the last attack was repelled." Vanessa put on a mask and said, "But because most of the underground defense forces were transferred to the surface, only miners and a small number of automatic soldiers were guarding the underground town on their own, resulting in many casualties. I also followed the order of the Great Guardian to come here first to check the situation, so as to confirm the shortage of medicines and mobilize resources to support the lower areas."

"Shouldn't we just send support down?"

This is such a waste of time.

Natasha, who had been silent the whole time, said, "We don't have enough medicine. We don't even have enough doctors."

That's right, otherwise why would a junior high school student be an assistant doctor? Alex thought helplessly: Beloberg's problem really can't be solved by super combat power. This is a comprehensive lack of resources.

And he knew that the medicine would be given priority to the Silver Mane Guards, that was for sure. He also had to reserve enough stocks for the residents of the upper district. Beloberg's situation was far more complicated than he thought. Even if he could solve the problem of wind and snow, it would take hundreds of years for the planet to recover. This did not take into account the complex human heart and the resources needed, as well as the extinct species.

The friendship between the upper and lower classes that existed hundreds of years ago is no longer there.

No wonder Kokolia was so scared before. Theresa's mother had to handle official business until late at night every day. It was not easy to maintain this peace.

Actually Alex has a solution.

But that would also require solving the star core problem and eliminating the interference in interstellar communications.

That is [Company].

According to the intelligence from the IXth Agency, the only ones who still remember Yalilo VI are the Interstellar Peace Corporation, which is also on the road of preservation and is spread all over the universe. According to the intelligence, there are still people who are constantly trying to send intelligence here.

Anyway, the company has people in the IXth Agency, and they are quite familiar with the information there. Moreover, in the early days of the disaster, the [Company] once tried to fight against the star core together with the people on Yalilo, but failed. If we can get in touch again, maybe there will be a turnaround.

So what exactly is it like to use the power of nothingness to make the core of a star disappear? This thing is called the cancer of the universe, and the company is helpless.

Hey, don’t ask Mr. Zero about this kind of technical issues in the future.

It's like if my Lord bumped into a star core, he probably wouldn't even have to move, the star core would just bump into him and disappear. If you ask me how he did it, my Lord would just stare with his cute eyes, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.

Forget it, let’s find out where the core of the star is first.

"arrive."

The train slowly stopped, and after Vanessa said something, she asked, "Put on a mask, Alex."

The air here is filled with harmful dust.

Panyan Town.

The largest gathering place in the underground, it was filled with all kinds of people. The most powerful were the miners, who were once called the "Great Pioneers", the people who mined the earth's marrow ore underground and brought warmth to the earth. The rest were gold diggers who made a living by picking up garbage underground and near Beloberg, ordinary people who lived underground all year round, and some businessmen from the upper area.

The sky here was gray and yellowish, and the biggest light source was the warm yellow light emitted by the huge pillar in the center burning the earth's marrow ore. The whole world seemed a little dark.

Compared with the upper district, which is now singing and dancing, the lower district has obviously had a hard time these days. Alex walked on the road and found that no one even looked at him for a few seconds - this shows that even if the channel is still there, the communication has become blocked. The upper and lower districts are only concerned about their own lives.

"Sorry, sorry!" A boy about the same age as Alex suddenly bumped into him, who was dressed elegantly. He had blue hair and lowered his head while running and said, "Sorry."

Alex touched his pocket and turned back speechlessly and said, "Dude, I don't have a wallet. What you took was my hand towel."

The running boy almost fell flat on his face when he heard this, and then he quickly sped away. Vanessa turned to look at Alex and said, "Be careful here. Most people are kind, but there are still many who will do anything to survive."

"I know." Alex nodded and said, "If he could take my money, his legs would be frozen by now."

Fortunately, I have no money.

"Let's go to my clinic first. My son is there." Alex declined: "No, I have something else to do. I will come over before you go back."

"Okay then." Vanessa didn't force it. Alex wasn't a child who needed to be taken care of. Instead, Natasha took out some food from her pocket, handed it over, and said, "Eat on the way."

"Thank you."

Although she was very scary when holding the needle, she was usually a nice girl. Alex wrote down the location of the clinic, waved goodbye to the two, and started his journey.

Find Swarovski!

"If I can't find it, I can only use the radio to call for help, Mr. Swarlow."

Chapter 18: Extermination Protocol: Not Activated

According to Teresa, this robot named Swarro was once a loyal partner of the original underground pioneer group. It was also an advanced robot with complex thinking ability, created using technology brought from [alien]. Of course, for some reason, the Silver Mane Iron Guards stationed underground now seem to be unclear about the whereabouts of this robot, and they don't even remember the name Swarro.

"Hello, have you ever seen a cool robot that is taller than a human, thinner than an ordinary robot, and likes to wear a black coat?"

"Hello, may I ask how I have met ..."

Alex asked someone directly. It would be easier to find the robot by saying its image rather than a name - no one would remember the robot's name.

He went around the Goethe Hotel and looked in all the bars and restaurants in Panyan Town, but found nothing except a few vague "I think I've seen her" answers.

Some said they had seen it at the garbage dump in Rock Town, some said they had seen it in Rivet Town, and some said it appeared in the Great Mining Area. But there was no doubt that the locations pointed by everyone were not consistent. Swarlow seemed to exist throughout the underground, but he had no fixed residence.

How to find this?

He had the impression that Swarovski should be quite famous. Could it be that it was something that happened later? Now Swarovski was just a monk who had lived incognito for hundreds of years? What should he do?

Ah, such a thorough search is not in line with my character.

Alex stood in the middle of the street, took a deep breath, clenched his fists and shouted, "Help me Mr. Swarlow!"

The people around him suddenly looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Hey, that looks like Alex Rand."

"The dragon tamer in the upper area? Are you sure?"

"What is he doing?"
