......

Under the leadership of Felittis, everyone carried Bronya and quickly rushed to the road leading to the lower area.

Although they were still wanted, due to the presence of Felittis, they seemed to be on a picnic.

They played and fought along the way. The four of them caught a big duck and quickly walked through the passage connecting the upper and lower areas. They came to the town in the lower area. Felittis returned to the door of Natasha's clinic based on her memory and knocked on the door.

"coming."

A gentle call followed, and Natasha quickly opened the door. She looked at Felicity standing in the center of the crowd with some surprise. She didn't expect that the magical girl would bring back so many people in such a short time.

But then, her eyes fell on Bronya. The girl, who was wearing a uniform that was obviously Iron Guard style, was tied up by vines and lay quietly in Felicity's arms.

"she is......?"

She frowned subconsciously and asked.

"Hostages? Bargain?"

Felittis answered uncertainly. She really hadn't thought of a corresponding explanation yet.

"Hostages..."

Natasha repeated, kindly admonishing,

"It's best not to let her run around outside. The underground has been sealed for more than ten years, and the child has almost forgotten what people on the ground look like. Suddenly a girl wearing the clothes of the Silver Mane Iron Guard appeared..."

She didn't continue, but her meaning was clear.

"I'll keep a close eye on her."

Felicity assured.

Natasha nodded, but she didn't intend to dwell on this topic for long. Anyway, it was enough for her to know that Felicity had no bad intentions.

"Are you going to look for Oleg? He's probably in the big mining area now. If you want to find him, just go to the entrance of the mining area and look for him."

Natasha took out a map from the clinic and handed it to Felicity, who pondered for a moment and brought Danheng to her front.

"You're smart, come on."

Danheng: ...

Dan Heng reached out and took the map, on which their current location was carefully marked.

"If you still need help, you can go to Xi'er."

"it is good."

Dan Heng nodded, turned around and handed the map to Felittis.

"You found the lower area. We are new here, so it would be better for you to decide the next strategy."

"Ah? Should I decide?"

Felittis tilted her head slightly, she looked at Dan Heng, then looked at Bronya who was tied up by her.

Well, she really doesn't want to go straight to the main storyline.

She had originally wanted to take Bronya to see the miserable conditions in the lower districts first, to see if Bronya, after seeing such a scene, would still stubbornly and blindly believe in the words of the current Great Guardian.

"How about we just disband?"

"Disband, good!"

San Yueqi had wanted to visit the lower level area for a long time, but he was in a hurry when he came down just now and didn't have a good look around the entire lower level area.

When going on an outing, you should fully explore the area, visiting both the upper and lower areas. Only then can it be considered a complete outing!

"Yeah, trash can!"

Xing also cheered. She hadn't had time to empty all the trash cans in the upper section of Beloberg yet, so she was about to take this opportunity to empty a few in the lower section as well.

"..."

Dan Heng remained silent, but did not refute. He really wanted to investigate the lower level area and determine what kind of organization this so-called [Underground Fire] was.

"It seems that everyone has no objection. In that case, we will disband here and meet up here in a day."

Felittis announced.

"Okay." x3

Everyone left and went to find things that interested them.

Felittis untied Bronya, and then used a little bit of imaginary energy to wake her up.

"...What am I doing?"

Bronya looked around in confusion, and soon met a pair of beautiful emerald green eyes.

"You're awake? The operation was successful~"

"...It's you."

Instead of resisting fiercely or questioning angrily as one might have imagined, Bronya simply sighed after realizing her current situation, then lowered her head and fell into silence.

She had seen Felittis's power and knew that Beloberg's most outstanding guard officer could not last more than a few rounds at Felittis' hands.

What can you do if you resist?

As said before, she can't do anything.

Why did you shut yourself in?

Felittis was unhappy. She had gone to great lengths to bring Bronya down from the upper class area, not to see her being so sad.

"You just give up?"

Felicity's tone was one of disappointment.

"Don't you want to find out the truth of the matter? Don't you want to try to resist? Is this the extent of your ideals?!"

As for talking nonsense, you will naturally learn it if you watch too many anime.

"I......"

Bronya finally raised her head again and looked at Felittis in a daze. She didn't expect that after being kidnapped, she would be the one being lectured. She was a little at a loss for a moment.

"If your heart is still beating, then don't give up hope, Bronya. It is more important to protect the idea of ​​​​hoping for hope than to protect hope itself."

"..."

Chapter 32 What have you been protecting?

Bronya finally followed Felicity.

She still didn't understand what was going on, and just followed Felicity in a daze, only occasionally raising her head when Felicity called her.

But it's enough.

The dilapidated state of the lower area is not just one-sided. The entire underground area exudes a foul smell, and dilapidated buildings and facilities can be seen everywhere.

People in the upper area can look up at the sky and dream of one day being able to see the scenery that is not obscured by the disk, but for people in the lower area, they are deprived of even the right to look up at the sky.

“Is this…is this the lower level area?”

Bronya stared blankly at the surrounding scenery. She had never been to the lower area in her memory, but looking at the dilapidated things around her, her subconscious told her that this place should not be like this.

This place...should be more beautiful and more vibrant.

Bronya didn't know why she had such an idea, but she clearly realized that the decision of the Great Guardian did not seem to be correct.

“As you can see, this is the lower class area today.”

Felittis shrugged.

"As far as I know, under the order of the current Grand Guardian, the Silver Mane Iron Guards withdrew from the lower district and blocked the traffic between the upper and lower districts. You see, this is the Lower District today."

"this......"

Bronya rarely doubted her mother, but the cruel facts were right in front of her, and she had to start thinking deeply.

——Bronya, what you see is just the truth that others want you to see, but you treasure it!

Her mother's cold rebuke once again echoed in her mind, and Bronya fell into deep thought.

......Has what her mother told her all along been the so-called truth?

Bronya was at a loss.

In fact, it was difficult for her to believe everything Felittis said, because the nouns Felittis told her were too far away from Beloberg.

But the ability displayed by Felittis was too exaggerated, over and over again, washing away Bronya's cognition.

Just as she was lost in thought, several rough voices suddenly sounded from in front of them.

"Hey, look who's this?"

"So the guys from the upper district are still interested in visiting the lower district? I haven't seen them for more than ten years. I almost forgot what the uniforms of the Silver Mane Guards look like."

"Hey, Boss, do you think this little girl has anything valuable on her?"

"That makes sense, hehe, little girl."

Upon hearing this, the leading wanderer immediately revealed a disgusting and vulgar smile, and his tone was filled with undisguised arrogance and malice:

"I advise you not to resist. You don't want to be sent to Natasha's hospital tomorrow, do you?"

He raised his gun towards Felicity and Bronya.

"We're just borrowing a little money. Iron Guards like you who spend your days leisurely in the upper district shouldn't mind, right?"

"The Silvermane Guards are not just relaxing in the upper area!"

Bronya was immediately dissatisfied. Even if the lower district had indeed become so destitute because of Cocolia's orders, she couldn't put all the blame on the Silver Mane Guards.

They were actually fighting the monsters in the Rift on the front lines, and had paid countless blood and lives for this over the past decade.

"So arrogant? Then don't blame me for being rude!"

The leading wanderer heard the words and immediately pulled the trigger, and a bullet shot out.

Bronya's expression suddenly changed, and she stepped back subconsciously, but her movement speed was clearly not as fast as the speed of the bullets.

Felittis narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her hand, and was about to summon the Branch of Abundance to block the bullet for Bronya.

Although she doesn't like unnecessary killing, it doesn't mean she is an overly kind person.

However, the next moment, the space in front of her suddenly appeared with countless cracks like a broken mirror, and after stagnating for a moment, it suddenly shattered.

The flying bullet instantly dissipated into the void.

A purple light flashed and floated up, and a figure as graceful as a butterfly landed in front of Felicity and Bronya. She landed lightly, and the sickle in her hand spun a circle before being swung down fiercely, raising a cloud of dust.

"You dare to attack us on our territory... do you want to continue fighting?"

"Gua, it's Xi'er from Earth Fire, everyone, back off!"

The wanderer holding the gun recognized the girl's identity instantly, and panic appeared in his eyes. The wanderers who were aggressive just now immediately dispersed.

"...a scumbag who bullies the weak and fears the strong!"

Seele cursed, then turned around and looked at Bronya. Her gaze only stayed for a moment before shifting to Felicity beside her.

"Well, it's your turn to explain to me what's going on with this guy."

Seele's face was full of impatience, and she seemed very dissatisfied with Bronya's existence.

"She is my hostage, kidnapped by me from the upper district."

Felittis answered seriously.

"hostage?"

Xier looked at Felittis with some surprise. She didn't expect that someone like her could do such a thing.

But these have nothing to do with her. She doesn't like people in the upper area. Even if Felittis tied up the Great Guardian one day, she would only applaud.

"It seems that the Silver Mane Iron Guard really got used to the comfort of the upper area, and was actually kidnapped from the upper area by someone else."

A mocking smile appeared on Seele's face, and she stared at Bronya's beautifully maintained face and laughed.

Although he is a Silver Mane Iron Guard, he has such delicate skin. It is hard for Xier to imagine that he usually leads a good life.
