Staring blankly at Ekaterinya disappearing from his sight, Xing couldn't help but sigh at the diversity of human beings. He wanted to complain about something but didn't know how to say it.
After a long while, the common words on the interstellar network emerged in my mind.
Hard clam!
"…Hey, that's not right!" Xing suddenly glared, as if he remembered something, "That guy hasn't paid us yet!"
"Don't worry, the reward is here." Zishu stretched out two fingers, holding a card between his fingers, "No more, no less than 25 credit points."
Regardless of whether Ekaterinya was too excited to remember this, it is impossible to have such a good thing in the world if you give a commission without any benefits.
However, neither of them expected that this guy would cause trouble later on, which indirectly changed Shiluwa's fate.
128. A new chapter in history
Two days later.
In the center of the administrative district's square, around a temporary platform, the Silver Mane Iron Guards stood with their heads held high, their faces full of energy and spirit under their armor.
The succession ceremony of the new Grand Guardian will be held here.
At the same time, today is the day when all bridges between the lower and upper areas have resumed traffic.
Most people put down their work and flocked to the area around the administrative district's main square or even the buildings to look out from afar.
The succession ceremony of each great guardian will be recorded in the history books. Such a grand event may only be seen once in a lifetime, or even never.
"Wow! Is this the real blue sky? So beautiful!"
The little girl walked out of the passenger cable car and took off her big hat. Her extremely excited cheers infected the surrounding lower-level residents, who all showed emotional expressions.
"So this is the upper area... The smell of the air... is very different from that of the lower area." Clara looked around curiously.
“Hahaha, it’s because the smell of rust and earth dust is missing, right?” Oleg laughed heartily. “Take a deep breath, kids. This is the breath of freedom!”
I really didn't expect that he could return to the administrative district alive. What happened underground for so many years had made him unable to remember what the surface looked like.
Natasha held Hook's little hand, pushed her bangs behind her ears, looked up at the blue sky, her heart churning.
When she was sitting on the cable car, her mind was full of things she wanted to do after getting up, but now, she just wanted to find a place to sit down and daydream, watching the busy people passing by all day long.
Oleg waved his hand and said, "Enjoy this historic day. This is what everyone deserves!"
"Old witch...Sister Natasha, what is that?!" Hook pointed to the traffic vehicles on the passenger track in the distance.
"That's a car. It's the same type of transportation as the cable car we just took." Natasha explained gently.
"What about that one?"
"fountain."
“Is that water good to drink?”
“…can’t be drunk, only for viewing.”
The children who saw the blue sky and the world on the ground for the first time were all full of curiosity, as if they were politely reminding the world that they were new here.
At noon, the square, which was already packed with people, burst into cheers.
"Lady Bronya Rand's inauguration speech is about to begin - citizens, please remain quiet and help maintain order on the scene!"
Bronya came on stage in a gorgeous dress, her delicate face filled with vitality and prospects for a bright future, and her voice echoed throughout the audience.
"Citizens of Belloberg, please listen to me——"
"The reason why we can gather here today and celebrate this moment together is because a guardian made a huge mistake and finally sacrificed himself. And with the help of the noble from outer space, the evil that has been poisoning this city for seven hundred years has been permanently expelled from our home!"
Bronya stood straight and looked around at the smiling and expectant faces below the stage.
"A new chapter of history has begun. The snowstorm outside the city wall will eventually subside, and the expansion of the Rift will inevitably be suppressed by the offensive of the Iron Guards!"
"Therefore, I declare that the blockade of the lower districts that was blocked due to the Rift disaster will be lifted permanently from today, allowing Beloberg to return to its original state and allowing the people of the upper and lower districts to face the future together!"
"Of course, everyone in the lower district, I cannot ask for your forgiveness, because my own experience tells me that these ten years have left too many scars on you, but——"
"I crave your cooperation, because we all know very well that without your perseverance and sweat, the revival of Beloberg will be out of the question, and the survival of civilization will become empty talk!"
"Also, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere respect and gratitude to the noble people from outer space who came to Beloberg! It is their arrival that has brought hope to this world on the verge of withering!"
"..."
It was a rare opportunity that Zishu and his three companions did not have to disguise themselves. They sat leisurely on the open-air chairs at the edge of the square and cast their eyes towards the platform one after another.
"We have saved the world once again. Seeing the saved world come back to life gives me a great sense of accomplishment!"
San Yueqi withdrew his gaze, took a sip of the milk tea in his hand, then picked up the camera, pointed it at that direction, and pressed the shutter button one after another.
"Again?" Xing rested her elbows on the armrests, cupped her cheeks and teased, "Is this the nth time you've been saved?"
"Ah, Uncle Tang? What's that?"
“…I mean, this is your nth time to rely on others to complete the task.” Xing smiled sincerely.
San Yue Qi realized that she was being laughed at. She choked and coughed hard for a while before angrily saying, "What do you mean by lying down?! I have always been an indispensable member of the team, and I have contributed a lot!"
"Yeah, your technique of controlling the ice and condensing the shield is indeed good. The shield is quite strong, but it can't withstand a punch from the Creation Engine."
Xing nodded his chin rhythmically and added silently in his heart - and it's not as good as Zishu's formation.
You don’t have to worry about his formation being broken or getting hurt. As long as you are ruthless enough and trust him enough, you don’t need to worry about your own defense.
Don't worry, just leave your back to Zishu. He will never let his companions get hurt easily.
This is what it means to feel safe.
"Hey--"
"My name is not Hey, my name is Xing, Xing in Starry Sky Train. You can also call me Ah Xing or Sister Xing."
"Just you, Sister Xing?"
"Hey, dear sister, I heard it."
“Ahhhhh, I want a beating!”
Two girls next to him were fighting each other, but Dan Heng remained calm. He listened to the speech in the center of the square while turning the pages of the book in his hand and continuing to read.
Zishu folded his arms and seemed to be resting his eyes, but in fact, like Danheng, he was distracted by Bronya's inauguration speech.
Apparently, a lot of the reform directions suggested the day before were adopted. Once the countermeasures to the price differences between upper and lower class areas were announced, the entire square erupted in a wave of cheers and received unanimous support.
When it came to the major reforms to the work system, the residents of Beloberg, who had confirmed that they had heard correctly, were so excited that they almost shouted their throats out.
Countless people shouted in unison, and it was estimated that even people outside the city could feel the excitement.
While income has not decreased, working hours have been greatly reduced. Not only have there been more holidays per week, but several fixed holidays have also been added, and some holidays even include several consecutive days off.
As the excitement faded and calmness came, some people would doubt whether Bronya was just talking for show, but knowing that these labor reforms would be written into the law, the only emotion left in their hearts was trust.
Some subsequent reforms will include education, marriage and childbirth, individual social security system, etc.
Although the exact plan has not been announced yet, just a mention is enough to make people feel how determined the new Grand Guardian is to revive Beloberg.
"It seems that she is very suitable to be a leader, right Zishu?" Xing said with a smile.
"In time, her achievements may surpass those of all the great guardians of the past."
When will it be released?
129. Let go of the desire to help others
Since Bronya took office as the Grand Guardian, Beloberg began to get back on track after the disaster, which also meant that the train crew's pioneering journey was coming to an end.
While solving the problem of the star's core, it also preserved the spark of hope for this world that has been ravaged by disasters.
In a sense, this is the best we can do.
At least that's the case from the player's perspective. Compared with the space station plot, the pioneering journey of Yalilo VI can be said to make players who are experiencing this game for the first time full of energy and look forward to the next destination more and more.
In the real Beloberg, more than a week has passed since the Grand Guardian succession ceremony.
In the endless snowfield on the outskirts of the city, Zishu and his group stopped and looked at a woman who was hugging someone's thigh with strange expressions.
“5555…Lord Shiluwa, please take me away!!”
Ekaterinya cried with tears and snot, her voice was full of despair, which made people sad to hear and cry to see.
Of course, this does not include the four members of the train crew and Shiluwa who were present.
Shiluva tried to pull her thigh out of Ekaterinya's arms, but it felt like it was fastened in a vise and she couldn't move.
"Ekaterinya, can you please let me go first?"
"No! I am afraid of the days without Master Shiluwa, I am afraid of the life without Master Shiluwa holding the leash around my neck... Can you take me away? How can I live without you?!!!"
Fear…
Xing looked so shocked that he couldn't help but hide behind Zishu.
She was not afraid of Cocolia being eroded by the star core, nor was she afraid of confronting the huge creation engine, but the one who clung to Shiluva's thigh was... you know.
She naturally recognized who this guy was. He was the girl who had asked her and Zishu to take a photo of Shiluwa a few days ago. She didn't know where she got the news that Shiluwa was leaving, and she actually followed him here secretly.
By the way, how did she, an ordinary person, manage to follow him without losing him?
Thinking of this, Xing glanced at Dan Heng beside him who didn't have any special reaction, and finally looked at Zishu's profile.
Their expressions seem to be similar. Could it be that they both knew that someone was following them?
Shiluwa has lived for decades and has been playing music for more than ten years since leaving the City Builders, but this is the first time he has seen such weird fans.
"Let's talk about this girl. You might be a little too extreme. Calm down." March 7 was the person who least understood what was going on.
She only knew that Xiluwa was going to join the Star Train, but she didn't know who this young woman who suddenly appeared was.
"How am I being extreme? My beloved Lady Shiluwa is leaving forever and I will never see her again. How can I stay calm? How can I stay calm? Wuwuwu——"
Xing's index finger quietly poked Zishu's back and asked in a low voice, "Did you know that she was following us?"
"I noticed it before I even left the city."
"Why didn't you say so earlier? If you get rid of her, there won't be so many problems."
"Well... you can dump it, but it's not necessary."
"I don't quite understand."
"It's okay, you'll understand soon." Zishu didn't choose to explain in detail.
Leaving it for Aha to watch is only one aspect. The bigger reason lies with Shiluwa. She still doesn't have a clear understanding of what she wants.
Those who have truly let go of the past will not have any extra nostalgia in their eyes. However, deep in Shiluwa's eyes there was still attachment to Beloberg and his family.
"Go back, Ekaterinya. I can't give you anything... Go back before you leave the safe area and there are no threats from the rift monsters around..."
"No, what's the difference between a life without Lord Shiluwa and death?"
This…
How could the eldest daughter of the Eckhardt family become like this? I don't think I have done anything to her, so why would she pester me to this extent?
If left alone, judging from the other party's terrifying posture, it seems that they may really rush out of the safe zone and chase after us regardless of the consequences.
Shiluwa had a big headache.
They had finally made up their minds to leave, and they had already come this far. It was impossible to send Ekaterinya back, but if they ignored her, if anything happened to her, it might cause a conflict between the Landau family and the Ekater family.
After a few minutes of struggling, Zishu sensed several familiar auras nearby, rushing towards this side rapidly following the traces of movement.
"Hey, hey, hey! Aha finally got the chance!"
The strange mask that had been silent for a while popped out from a gift box that appeared out of nowhere.
"Choice 1: Helping others is a virtue. Immediately take Xiluwa back to the Starry Sky Train and help her realize her idea of leaving Yalilo VI. Reward: The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. After boarding the train, Xiluwa's favorability towards you will greatly increase."
"Choice 11.4: Leave Sylva behind and flee immediately to prevent her from becoming a passenger on the Star Train. Reward: Soul-bound Light Cone "Permanent Single Noble", which increases the damage by 114% when used in single state, and increases the damage to adulterers who exude the sour smell of love by %."
"Choice 1: Let go of the desire to help others, respect the fate of others, do nothing, and watch the situation develop. Reward: entry to the Aha Treasures Collection lucky draw~~"
To be honest, Zishu originally wanted to choose three, but when he saw the rewards, his head really swelled.
Ahaha's treasure house?
