Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

Recalling some records in the ancient documents she had read, Pella had a vague guess about Gwyn's identity.

However, since the other party was brought by the Great Guardian Cocolia, Pella didn't plan to say much. She just kept a close eye on him and started her own course.

Although Pella is not a professional teacher, with the bonus of learning ability brought by Gwyn's mental power, it is not difficult for Gwyn to understand what she explains.

After half a day of study, although Gwyn was far from emptying Pella's stomach, he still gained a lot.

At noon, Cocolia did not show up again, but asked her adopted daughter Bronya Rand to take Gwyn to have lunch.

Compared to the traditional Bronya in Gwyn's impression, Bronya Rand does not have the indifference of a "three-no" girl or the coldness of the Ural Silver Wolf. She is a little more immature, but also has the calmness and affinity required of an heir.

Because of her strange guess about the relationship between Gwyn and her mother in the morning, Bronya was a little evasive when she looked at Gwyn at first, but she quickly corrected it after chatting with Gwyn for a few words.

It seemed that because Cocolia had specifically instructed her to do so, Bronya still trusted Gwyn, whose origins were unknown.

Bronya also cooperated very well with Gwyn's request to demonstrate his abilities.

After feeling Bronya's power, which was different from Pella's, Gwyn's face showed a thoughtful look, making this lunch, which was not extravagant but could be considered sumptuous, a little dull.

However, Bronya didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, she admired Gwyn's pragmatic style.

However, Gwyn is indeed seizing the time to increase his understanding of imaginary energy and strive to acquire the ability to use it as soon as possible.

However, without Bronya's knowledge, Gwyn secretly took a photo of her and sent it to Seele, who should have fallen asleep in the Quantum Sea.

After lunch, without wasting any time, Bronya took Gwen to the military camp in the lower city.

In addition to the Silver Mane Iron Guards originally stationed in the lower level, some incorporated Lower City vitality groups headed by the Underground Fire Organization are now also stationed here.

In the camp, Gwyn saw a blue-haired girl who was dressed differently from the other Silvermane Guards around her. She was wearing light clothes and still had a red ribbon tied around her arm.

"Xie'er!"

Seeing the blue-haired girl, Bronya, who had always behaved very properly in front of Gwyn, became a little more casual and enthusiastically greeted the girl who was half leaning against the weapon rack to rest.

"Ok?"

Hearing the familiar call, the girl with messy short blue hair immediately turned her head to look, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes sharp, and a bit of indescribable wildness.

However, after seeing that the person coming was Bronya, this wildness turned into impatience:

"Miss, why do you have time to come to my place?

And with a...

stranger?"

Although it seemed that the little girl from the lower city was treating the lady from the upper city differently, Seele's glance at Gwyn was obviously focused on asking about Bronya Gwyn's identity.

"Xi'er, this is Mr. Gwyn, a friend of the Great Guardian. He hopes you can cooperate in researching something."

After knowing each other for a while, Bronya, who had become accustomed to Seele's insincere words, gave Gwyn an apologetic look, then looked at Seele and spoke seriously.

"Looking to me for research?"

After hearing Bronya's introduction, Seele's attitude improved immediately. She looked at Gwyn with a friendlier look, but still with a hint of inquiry.

"If you're doing research, are you sure you're not looking for Clara?"

Although Xier, who grew up in the lower city, had no good impression of the upper city because of what she saw when she went there in her early years, she just regarded Gwyn as a second-generation rich man who came here to gain experience.

But if it seems that they are friends of Cocolia, the great guardian of life, who wants the people of the lower city to live the same as those of the upper city, then Xier is willing to give more patience.

Chapter 150 Xier: Deal!

With Gwyn's intervention, Beloberg's current trajectory seems to have deviated somewhat from its original trajectory—

The leader, Kokolia, hadn't rebelled, the upper and lower city districts hadn't been cut off, and the main force of the Silvermane Iron Guards was still there...

Compared to when the protagonists arrived in the original timeline, Beloberg is undoubtedly in a better condition now, and he can survive longer even without external forces.

However, even though some developments have been distorted, some things remain unchanged—

The Dihuo, which has not yet become the largest force in the Lower City but is only an outer organization of the lower-level Silver Mane Iron Guard, has appeared. The "butterfly" Xier, who can dance like a butterfly in complex terrain and reap lives, has also debuted as a destiny walker and got his own scythe from old uncle Sambo, the cold-legged uncle.

However, compared to the original timeline, where Seele wanted to ask after Cocolia's family because of Cocolia's blockade of the downtown area, the current Seele is very respectful of Cocolia who is working to change the situation in the downtown area.

Therefore, after learning that Gwyn was not a gilded young master who came here to intervene in the new army in the lower city, but a friend of the Great Guardian, Seele's attitude took a 180-degree turn.

Instantly putting away her carefree demeanor, Xier revealed a temperament that matched this military camp. She confirmed with the two people whether they were looking for her.

Although she was already one of the best fighters in the downtown area, Xier did not sit in the well and look at the world from a narrow perspective. Instead, she knew clearly how insignificant she was in the world and that there were many things in this world that she could not do.

Compared to harvesting lives with a sickle, research is a field that Xier has almost never touched.

"..."

Hearing Seele's question, Bronya did not answer immediately, but looked at Gwyn beside her——

Although the two people who were in the same orphanage at the time had already recognized each other, after seeing and sincerely recognizing the style of the current Grand Guardian Cocolia Rand, Xier felt that her childhood playmate still had a lot to learn.

Therefore, although their relationship is actually very good, Seele's attitude towards Bronya is a bit harsh, so that Bronya, who does not know the whole story, chooses to leave the task of answering to Gwyn.

"Yes, there is a part of the experiment that does require your cooperation, Miss Xier."

Gwen didn't show any emotion because of Xier's scrutiny. He said seriously,

"In order to play a greater role in the upcoming military operations, I need to use imaginary energy...

This means conducting a certain amount of research on the energy you, as a destiny walker, use."

"Oh……"

After hearing Gwen's explanation, Xi'er nodded noncommittally, but the scrutiny in her eyes hadn't diminished much.

Although Gwyn was not considered a gilded young master because of his identity as a friend of the Great Guardian of Cocolia, Xier would not rashly trust him before personally confirming who Gwyn was.

"What do you need my cooperation for?

blood draw?

Or something else?

I'll be clear in advance, I'm not very clear about the Destiny Walker or anything like that, but I just don't know when my strength and speed started to increase, and my abilities started to come into play naturally."

In Xier's limited knowledge, having her blood drawn as a research subject seemed to be the only research she could participate in.

As for teaching others by personal example?

Xier is very self-aware and knows that it is not something she is good at.

"Don't be nervous. I'm not a professional researcher, and I won't draw your blood."

Gwen put his hands on Xier's body, comforting her and explaining quickly,

“What you have to do is simple. You will practice fighting with me. I will observe the flow of power in you during the fight.

Of course, it won't be in vain—

I have a good friend who has extensive experience using weapons such as sickles.

As a reward, I will select some of her moves and teach them to you. I believe they will give you some inspiration."

"……make a deal!"

Hearing this, Xier's gaze towards Gwen became a little friendlier.

Whether it was Gwen's courage to propose sparring with her, or his style of giving rewards while making requests, both made Xier like her much more.

However, no matter how pleasing it was, Xier still said:

"Let me be frank. I come from a background of my own, so I don't have many rules for fighting. I can't guarantee that I can stop in time during a sparring match."

"Hmm... To be on the safe side, let's first demonstrate our strength to each other so that they can be mentally prepared."

Gwen didn't think Seele's words were directed at him, and offered additional advice:

If this Seele was as weak and polite as the Seele who was still soaking in the Quantum Sea, Gwyn would suspect that the other party had been switched.

"Okay, the training ground is next door, come on."

Hearing this, Xier nodded, picked up the sickle beside her, turned around and walked towards the training ground in the military camp.

"Mr. Gwyn, swords have no eyes, please treat them with caution."

Although the two seemed to get along well, Bronya, who was not sure about Gwyn's strength but was quite familiar with Seele's strength, still spoke up to remind Gwyn to prevent her mother's friend from getting accidentally injured.

If that were to happen, Xier would probably be punished to some extent...

"Don't worry, Miss Bronya, I'm not that fragile, otherwise I wouldn't have come to Beloberg..."

Gwen responded with a smile and followed Seele.

The scene where Seele brought the future Grand Guardian Bronya and a stranger into the training ground was also discovered by many soldiers who were resting.

The two of them then demonstrated their strength to each other, attracting even more soldiers to watch.

Although she is not very good-looking because she doesn't take good care of herself, Xier's strength is recognized by everyone in the military camp.

In the military camp, strength may not be everything, but it is enough to solve many problems.

In addition, many of the soldiers here were recruited from the lower city, and many of them had been helped by Xier, so Xier even had a high popularity here.

Butterfly, who was tacitly regarded as the best fighter in this military camp today, and even in the minds of many people, was unmatched in the entire Lower City, was actually defeated in the competition, which attracted even more onlookers.

Fortunately, the camp commander Oleg came forward in time, dispersed the gathered soldiers, and prepared for the afternoon training.

Gwyn and Seele, who had a basic understanding of each other, also left the training ground.

Chapter 151 Xier: Ah?

Because the training ground of the military camp was to be used by soldiers who were still in training, and the sparring with Gwyn was bound to be quite noisy, Seele simply took Gwyn to an open area.

Although the downtown area has ushered in a new round of development with the implementation of Cocolia's plan, there are still many places that are rarely visited but large enough for the two to display their skills.

As for Bronya, seeing that the two of them were getting along quite well, she returned to the upper city to continue her work.

As the future Grand Guardian, Bronya's job is not easy either.

"You seem to be quite strong, so I won't hold back next time."

When they arrived at the place, Seele took out her sickle and spoke to Gwyn seriously.

However, even though she said this, a layer of protective cover had been put on the cold and shining blade of Seele's sickle, obviously because she was worried about hurting Gwyn.

"Don't be fooled by the protective shield, but my power isn't completely under my control. Sometimes it can be more powerful than I anticipated."

Gently waving the scythe, Seele warned Gwyn not to be careless.

"clear."

Gwyn nodded slowly and raised the training sword he brought from the barracks.

Because the use of the Key of God also requires Honkai energy, Gwyn did not bring the Xuanyuan Sword this time, so he could only find a weapon at random.

"..."

Looking at the training sword in Gwyn's hand, Seele narrowed her eyes slightly, and did not answer, but silently took an attacking stance -

Xier has used this thing before... It's quite heavy, but the quality... is really hard to describe. Using it in battle is almost a joke.

Gwen chose to use this thing to practice against herself. Even though Xier recognized that Gwen might have a good strength, she still felt a little unhappy.

Who do you look down on?

Especially after Xier's reminder, Gwen still chose to use this thing, which made Xier even more angry.

"I'm about to start..."

Xier warned, lowered her body, lowered her center of gravity, tensed her muscles, and prepared to attack.

Although Xier, who is almost an adult, is still almost flat due to malnutrition since childhood, her skinny body now unexpectedly shows a cheetah-like strength.

"bring it on."

The five elements of power in Gwyn's body circulated continuously, and the heavy earth-attribute power slowly poured into the training sword in his hand, making it tough while also adding a bit of sharpness.

At the same time, Gwyn quietly used the unique perspective gained from his practice and looked at Xier who was ready to go.
