Star Railroad: Great Guardian of Beloberg

"This is?"

"The Demon King's Army, right?" Xi'er said casually, "I met a group of people who claim to be the Demon King's Army. Kill them and help me calculate whether these are enough to upgrade the mercenary group."

"The Demon King's Army?" The receptionist looked panicked and said, "We need to notify them immediately. What if the Demon King's Army attacks here..."

"I told you, kill him."

Xi'er repeated: "Leave no one behind."

Regardless of the admiring gazes of the people around her, Xier continued to think about the problem. They had already figured out the situation of this world. There were only a few fate walkers here, and most people used a magical method to activate elemental power. But their goal was to confirm the location of the rift and the star core. Some traces were found in the rift - there was no fixed range of the rift here, but creatures called monsters would be refreshed, and they would be resurrected within a certain period of time after death.

As for the star core...

Xi'er and the others just had a guess that the source of magic, which the natives of this world called Skynet, was an invisible existence, and perhaps it was the power of the star core.

It is really amazing that a world with not so advanced technology actually uses star cores as a "source of magic". They are now looking for past information, trying to find out who established the Magic Skynet and how.

"Any news about ancient ruins?"

"Sorry, Captain Xier, there is no news on this matter for the time being."

"I have!"

A frivolous boy with brown hair came over immediately. Xier frowned. The boy waved his hand and stepped back a few steps, saying, "I know the whereabouts of an ancient relic."

Chapter 212: Demi-human Maid Selection

"Your coffee, Mr. President."

"Thank you." Bronya took the coffee from Alicia and glanced at her phone. Her expression relaxed a little. Alex had disappeared for several days without any news. Although everyone knew that Alex was very powerful, sometimes they couldn't help but worry about his situation - after all, he left in a hurry this time. Fortunately, the communication was finally restored now, and he sent a message saying that he would be back in a few hours.

"How's the situation?"

The Beloberg Republic's joint fleet has always been lurking quietly outside the observation distance of the "Magic Star". At present, Xier and his group have been stationed there for several days and have basically figured out the situation.

The strength of the countries on this planet is complex. Taking the four major continents as an example, the eastern continent has the Kingdom of Lugnica, the Kingdom of Holy Vlakia, the Karalaki City-State Republic and the Holy Kingdom of Gustiko. The western continent is the Agra Council, the Kingdom of Re-Estize, the Bahas Empire, the Silan Theocracy, the Holy Kingdom, and the newly emerging "Magic Kingdom".

The southern continent is more chaotic, with human countries such as Belzegu and Elrod, the Demon King's Army, the Demon Federation, the Orc Country, and the Dwarf Country. This place is a mixed bag, with all kinds of strange things. The northern continent is home to Kulodi, Melomag, Serutobul, and other forces.

There are a total of one hundred countries, big and small, and Bronya is also selecting countries that are truly powerful, have a say, and are worthy of cooperation.

To be honest, Bronya was overwhelmed by seeing so many countries. Different cultures, different languages, and even different species would make communication very troublesome. But compared to these forces, other information was more worthy of Beloberg's attention.

Magic, dragons, monsters, star cores.

Unlike other countries polluted by star cores, the star core of this world, apart from still blocking traffic, did not cause any adverse effects on the environment, but only gave birth to some monsters with elemental power. According to investigations, these monsters were between ordinary creatures and rift creatures. They would skip the development stage and regenerate regularly, just like rift creatures, but they had the same reproductive ability as ordinary creatures. It can be said that no matter what race a person is in this world, they all have the power of the star core in their blood.

And magic, that is, Skynet, became the source of star core power for ordinary people.

Dragons - Many countries that have never communicated with each other have the same legends, such as the Dragon Bolkenni, the Dragon Emperor, the Platinum Dragon King, etc. The legend of the Dragon King is everywhere in this world. According to calculations, the probability of this being related to the Immortal Descendants is as high as 95%.

The initial conclusion is that a powerful descendant of the Immortal used a method unknown to the Belobergs to transform the star core into magic and monsters for the entire planet, while also eliminating most of the effects of the Rift.

Therefore, their first goal is to find this existence.

"Director Xi'er has already sent back the logs from the initial investigation, and is currently preparing to explore the ancient ruins. She has requested a wide-area search."

"Wide-area search?"

Bronya thought for a moment. Wide-area search means launching 13,800 small probes into the interior of the planet to build a comprehensive network. It can quickly understand all the conditions on the ground and underground, and monitor all the information and intelligence of the entire world. But Bronya always felt that this was not a good idea. She did not want the appearance of the Beloberg to cause too much panic and unnecessary misunderstandings. She said, "Notify Director Theresa and have the CIA agents prepare to arrive in front of the rulers of all countries and forces tomorrow morning. I will go and say hello to the people of this world."

"Yes."

Bronya looked at her phone. Alex asked them about the situation. Bronya explained the situation truthfully. They had almost finished the exploration and all that was left was to find the real "dragon".

She introduced: This world has more intelligent races than any other galaxy, and there are all kinds of sub-human races. It's really strange, and it violates the universally recognized theory of biological evolution. It is likely that the races of the entire planet are inseparable from the star core.

"A subhuman race? The kind with cat ears on their heads or something like that?"

"what!"

Bronya was startled when she heard the voice behind her, but fortunately she recognized it as Alex's voice. She immediately turned around and said, "Uncle, didn't you say it would take another half a day to get here?

What's going on? You said you'd come back in a while, but you came straight to the bridge? Are you that fast?

"No, I was planning to go to Luofu to talk to Jing Yuan, but after thinking it over, it seemed unnecessary for us to meet, so I rushed back immediately." Alex walked to the panel of the bridge and took a look at the species analysis report on the magic star. Wow...

Lizardmen, well, forget about that. There are raccoon girls, cat girls, and even bird girls. Not girls with birds, but girls who turned from birds. They are not animals that walk upright like Yepera, but a sub-human race that retains a small part of animal features, and has faces and bodies exactly like humans.

Can the whereabouts of immortals be more important than the sub-human race? Just send a message to Jingyuan, it's more important here.

Bronya looked at her uncle suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong, especially since he was looking at some photos of subhuman races.

"Bronya, your mother is out on a business trip right now. You and Seele are both busy with work. If something happens to me, will there be no one to take care of Rose?"

Bronya didn't know how he got to that point. She nodded and replied, "Indeed, I can only spare time to have breakfast and dinner with Rose every day. Fortunately, she has her own friends now."

Rose really had no one to accompany her these days as everyone was busy.

"So, I didn't always want a maid, no, a housekeeper." Alex said in a persuasive manner: "At least when we are not around, she will have someone to take care of her. She is just a child who is less than one year old."

"But wasn't I supposed to match you with..."

"No." Alex shook his head and said, "You set the standard too high. Rose and I don't handle government affairs. Why do you have such high requirements for housekeepers and secretaries? In the end, they are all fleeced by other departments. Look, your aunt is the mayor now, and Celestine is busy all day long. It's really a match. In a few days, they will all be busy building Beloberg again."

"Stop, stop, stop, uncle."

Bronya stopped Alex from talking. She had understood. He just thought the sub-humans were cute and wanted to invite a few of them to his home. Why was there so much nonsense? She said, "You can find whoever you like. I have no objection."

"If your mother has any objections, remember to fight back for me. I said you agree."

"..."

Bronya sighed speechlessly, and Alex smiled and said, "I'm going to go down and play. You guys proceed according to your plan. It's good to proceed step by step. I won't get involved in the matter of the star core. Let's go."

Alex disappeared again. Bronya saw that everyone was looking at her, so she waved her hand and said, "Contact General Gerard and prepare food resources, quilts, new clothes, and some gold bars for 10 million people."

Greetings and gifts are necessary, but they must be delivered by the army. Bronya has no intention of starting a war, nor will she let anyone look down on her.

…………

"Elliot is right. This planet is really strange. Is the core dissolved?"

Landing, there is a lush green primeval forest. The ecological environment of this planet has not been damaged by the core, but has developed quite well. With such productivity, it can support such a large population. It can be said that it is basically a gift from nature.

Alex picked a fruit from the tree and took a bite. Although it could be considered a trace element, he could indeed feel a little bit of imaginary power.

The imaginary power is so weak that it will not have any effect on the body. Unless you eat it continuously for a hundred years, there will be no improvement in your strength.

As he was strolling, he saw a blue slime being held in the hands of a group of people dressed strangely passing through the woods. Alex maintained a nihilistic attitude, eating fruit while looking at the group.

Does that slime look like a mascot? No, judging by the power it has revealed, it should be the leader of this group. It is the most powerful one among them. It is probably equivalent to being able to massacre an army of 10,000 people and destroy a small country. It is at the level of a good player among the Destiny Walkers, but not the top one. The top one must be a Star Destroyer at least.

Alex looked at the team curiously. The composition was quite complex. There were large wolves, men and women of the ghost tribe with horns on their heads, and green-skinned goblins... no, to be more precise, goblin sub-humans. Real goblins were even shorter, and these people had evolved to be more like humans.

"Hmm, it looks like they are the people from the Demon Federation that Bronya mentioned." After looking at them for a while, Alex felt that they were boring and there was no cat girl, so he walked away.

Let’s go find Xier first.

Xi'er had been here for a few days and had already bought a large villa from scratch as the base of her mercenary group. They were located in a city called Axel on the southern continent, a circular city surrounded by city walls. This was a novice city in the kingdom, but it was also on the front line against the Demon King's army, and there were all kinds of strange adventurers.

For example, there was a beautiful girl adventurer with aqua-colored hair who looked like she was drunk. She was now holding two fans and performing a water spray show for others.

"Give."

Xier took out a bag and put it on the table, saying, "This is the most popular currency in this world. Uncle, if you want to go out for a walk, it will be useful."

"It's heavy, a lot, Captain Xier." Alex glanced at the beautiful girl spraying water, put the bag of gold coins into the compressed space, and said, "Thank you, it seems you have been very busy recently."

"This money is not earned." Seele rubbed his head, looked at the noisy adventurers, and said, "The currency here is very easy to counterfeit. Bronya gave it to me before I came here."

Just like what the company likes to do, destroying the monetary system to force others to cooperate. Belloberg also has the ability to collapse the world's economy in an instant. With a physical gold coin, their precious metal reserves and technology are enough to imitate more metal currencies than the world circulates.

"Uncle, if we take the star core away." Xi'er was obviously notorious. Although it was a very busy restaurant, the tables next to Xi'er were all empty. No adventurers or mercenaries dared to provoke the leader who was in the limelight recently, so she didn't need to cover up or avoid others when she spoke. She said, "Then has the order of this world collapsed?"

"Will you consider this now?" Alex looked at Seele with a smile. Normally, Seele would avoid such questions and let Bronya make the decision.

"It's still a little different." Xi'er didn't know how to describe this feeling, because this civilization had never had any contact with the stars, and she was the first outsider to arrive. And all her judgments would affect the fate of countless people. Even if she judged that everyone here was a bad person, then Beloberg's cavalry would destroy everything here.

A heavy responsibility? That's probably what it feels like. Seer explained, "The disappearance of the star core means the disappearance of magic and monsters. The original order and rules will be rewritten, and countless people will die in chaos and war. It's hard to have this feeling when looking down from the Beloberg. Only when you step on this land can you understand that the population statistics we see and the dots on the satellite map are all living, complete people."

She has grown up. Alex looked at Seele with satisfaction. He didn't expect that Seele would consider such a thing. He said, "The star core of this world may not exist in the form of a star core. It may not be taken away. Your mission is to find the existence that created all this in the legend. Don't worry, we are Beloberg, and Bronya will probably communicate with this place in a more gentle way."

Seele and Bronya's generation were also born in hardship. They know that stability and peace are hard to come by, and they will not easily start a war.

"Ah."

Xier smiled and decided to trust the judgment of the Rand family. She turned her eyes to the side and found a knight with golden hair and a high ponytail walking towards Alex. She narrowed her eyes and showed a warning look, but the knight's face suddenly turned red and trembled slightly.

"What's wrong? Someone you know?"

"No, just an ordinary pervert. Uncle should not contact him."

"Okay, then I'll change continents and go to the largest slave market here."

Most countries on this planet still maintain the feudal slave system, that is, slaves are allowed to be bought and sold. Regarding the change and progress of civilization, this kind of thing does not need Beloberg to take the initiative. When new knowledge and new ideas are introduced, social unrest and progress are inevitable. In the eyes of interstellar people, the slave system should still be destroyed - everyone prefers to sign a lifelong contract.

The only force in the universe that openly claims to have slaves is the Fertile People, who are hated by everyone.

Alex would not free all the slaves right away, because the slaves here were not just poor people, but many of them were criminals who had committed heinous crimes.

Northern continent, Serutobul.

This is where mercenaries, merchants and slaves gather. The most famous thing about this place is the crowded arena every day and night. No matter how much civilization evolves, the excitement of violence and gambling will always stimulate people's senses.

"Oh, my dear guest." The slave trader, a short, fat and shrewd old man, immediately showed a flattering smile after Alex paid the deposit, and said, "We have many slaves here, whether they are human or subhuman, and we can provide them for you if you need service or guards. Please follow me and you can choose whatever you want. Of course, the best quality ones can only be obtained at the auction."

"What do you use to restrain your slaves?"

"There is a contract. It seems that you are a guest who has traveled across the ocean. We have the most complete set of services here. Please rest assured that there will be no problems."

"By the way, where did all these slaves come from?"

Alex asked as he walked. The slave trader did not hide anything and said, "The majority of human slaves are criminals who were stripped of their names and personalities by trial. A small number are poor people who have nowhere else to go and just want to get a meal from their masters. As for the subhumans, it's a bit more complicated. There are criminals, people who want to be slaves and have no worries about food and clothing, and some who were trafficked here because of war, famine, and robbery."

"Recently, for some reasons, the price of subhuman slaves is very high. It depends on what you need. I can introduce them to you."

Below the store was a huge empty warehouse. Dim lights illuminated one iron cage after another, which held all kinds of slaves. Some slaves even posed coquettishly to attract attention when they saw Alex coming in. Some were disheartened and some showed hostility towards Alex.

After all, it was a "commodity", so it was well taken care of. There wasn't much odor here, but it was indeed treated just like a commodity. Alex glanced around and said, "I have a daughter at home, and I'm looking for a maid who can take care of her."

"Well, then I have to recommend someone to you." The merchant took Alex to a cage and pointed at the skinny brown-haired girl inside and said, "The fallen noble Liurikawa Tsubaki. Someone as imposing as you must be a great noble. This kind of noble is the most suitable for you. Don't worry, this is a professional slave trading place, and we will not abuse slaves in any way."

Alex looked at Liulichuan Tsubaki in the cage. Her eyes were a little empty. It was obvious that she had lost hope and had no hope for the future. When she saw Alex looking at her, she raised her head and looked at Alex.

"Implicated?"

"Businessmen like us dare not say too much about political matters."

Alex looked at the girl and said, "Want to come with me?"

"..."

The girl didn't answer.

Alex shook his head and took a few steps away before he heard a faint voice coming from behind him.

“Will you leave the country?”

"meeting."

In the girl's eyes, compared to some strange people, this handsome man in front of her was a very good choice. She was silent for a while, then said, "I am willing to go with you."

"Count it in."

"Hey, Mr. Rand." The slave trader said cautiously, "She was supposed to attend the auction in a few days, so this price..."

"Count it in. I'll look at something else."

Alex will take anyone who is willing to follow him and trust him. Beloberg doesn't have to eat alone, and the welfare system is also very complete. As for whether you can be a maid in the Rand family, you still need training and assessment. After Alex walked a few steps, he stopped in front of a cage.

Inside was a little red-haired girl, lying there with her eyes closed, looking very painful.

"We are a legitimate business." The slave trader explained quickly, "This girl suffers from an incurable disease. She always falls into strange pain, coma, and even internal bleeding. She became a slave voluntarily. If you buy a lot, I can give this to you."

For the slave traders, this girl was also a hot potato. Besides looking okay, she even had difficulty getting up. He tried to arouse Alex's sympathy and said, "Her mother committed suicide by jumping off a building in front of her. She also committed suicide before. Finally, my men saw her and she decided to become a slave and let others decide her fate. She is also a poor child."

Alex looked at her and said, "Open your eyes."

The girl opened her eyes with great effort. When the green eyes fell on Alex, she showed a look of surprise and asked in a low voice: "God?"

As expected. The imaginary power was too abundant, causing a backlash on the body. This girl's talent was extraordinary. She had no destiny but had already begun to absorb the imaginary power. Once she determined the direction she wanted to go, she would instantly become a powerful destiny walker - I thought there were no destiny walkers here.

In terms of strength, other people on this planet are useless after leaving their local area - they cannot perform magic outside the planet. But this girl is different.

Alex crouched down and asked, "Want to come with me?"
