Xingtie, started with a guitar, and made a living by singing

More importantly, it always reminds Wendy of a certain Night Elf hero...

Yeah, although the voices are very similar, from a personality perspective, it’s really hard to imagine that Grandpa Diluk is a sister-con or something.

Wendy, who was secretly thinking about some impolite things in her heart, did not forget to greet others.

"Hello, Guard Officer Jeppard. We meet again!"

"...Uh, hello. I apologize for the inconvenience of having you come here..."

Jeppard's response seemed rather stiff, but it wasn't that he was deliberately giving someone a cold shoulder when asking for a favor, but rather—

"Huh?! Why did you start eating secretly while I was away?!"

Xiluwa looked at her younger brother who was holding the bowl and looked like he was in a dilemma after being interrupted by several people while eating noodles.

She couldn't help but laugh in her heart. Although she pretended to be shocked on the surface, the curved corners of her eyebrows completely exposed her true intentions.

...She was deliberately trying to bring them closer through this behavior.

For example, it turns out that the majestic guard officer is actually a big boy at home who can't wait for the delicious food to be served before he starts to eat.

This change in identity and the resulting changes in personality can easily give people a sense of affinity.

But when I think about my sister, she is still so caring and likes to take care of others.

Jeppard, who believed that he had become a man and did not need to be taken care of unilaterally like a child, had no choice but to "show off".

"This is my fair reward for helping you clean the house... and, sister, you really should pay attention to your usage habits. At least, you should be able to sort it out after you use it, right?"

"Ahahaha...I'm usually busy, so sometimes I forget about it after putting it down..."

Shiluwa slapped his head and showed the kind of stupid smile that is unique to hot-blooded characters.

Only Pera, who was quite familiar with the siblings, roughly deduced the truth of the matter from the subtle changes in their expressions, and then looked away in boredom.

Compared to her "silly" sister and "straightforward" brother who have always gotten along in this way, she cares more about the "again" that Wendy said.

"So you've met Guard Officer Jeppard?"

"That's right. I was performing on the street the other day, and I happened to see Garrison Officer Jeppard leading his troupe passing by. In an instant, they stole all my popularity!"

Wendy said to him jokingly.

"At that time, I thought, I have to get to know such a powerful person. If I get arrested one day, maybe someone will help me to intercede."

"Why do you always assume you're being arrested by the Iron Guards..."

When Pera was feeling helpless about Wendy's usual jail joke, she saw Jeppard speaking seriously.

"If I have the chance, I will. However, if you really do something wrong, I will also enforce the law impartially."

Even Shiluwa couldn't hold back her smile. When everyone was joking around, suddenly saying something so blunt would easily ruin the atmosphere, wouldn't it?!

Just as she felt sad about her brother's social experience, Wendy burst into laughter.

"That's how it should be. I'll be very firm and say I want to see Sergeant Jeppard. Without him, I won't say a word!"

"Can this actually continue from the previous chapter?"

When Pera was about to become the one to complain, Shiluwa said that if they continued talking, the noodles would fall apart, so she asked everyone to take a seat while she went to get the main course.

The inner room of the machinery house is actually a bit narrow for four people to sit around, but it reveals a warm feeling of home.

It is not difficult to see from the furnishings that the owner, Shiluwa, has a wide range of interests, from electric guitars to large wrenches, and even a half-dismantled automatic robot intelligent logic core.

However, from the latter point of view, it is more in line with Shiluwa's main business, or his interest in "running a machinery house".

After all, Shiluwa herself is not short of money, and she is fully worthy of the title of "rich woman" in the city of Beloberg.

By the way, the noodles that Jeppard had eaten before were not soup noodles, but dry noodles made with wide noodles, salt, black pepper, and Beloberg sausage.

The portion was quite large, almost piled high like a small mountain. Although it was normal for a guard to eat so much considering his daily consumption, Wendy found it relatively difficult to accept eating so much sticky, hot staple food.

After all, neither he nor Barbatos could handle hot and sticky food very well.

Hot cheese pancakes are especially popular!

Fortunately, in addition to the noodles, Shiluwa also made some meat pies.

This is just within the acceptable range for Wendy. Of course, as for pasta, a small amount can also be eaten.

After all, it’s not good to be so picky about food in front of the host’s house!

The dining atmosphere seemed quite relaxed and enjoyable, mainly because Shiluwa was not the type to sit idle.

After enthusiastically distributing the food to everyone, she also brought up some interesting stories from daily life. Although most of them ended up referring to Jeppard's embarrassing childhood, thanks to this, both the host and the guests were happy for a while.

It seems that no matter which world it is, it is common for sisters to tease their younger brothers.

As the protagonist of the topic, Jeppard often fell into embarrassment. He felt a little ashamed, but was too embarrassed to interrupt Shiluwa.

Fortunately, with Wendy's help, she helped him out several times and received the other party's "grateful" gaze.

This made Shiluwa thoughtful, while Pera finished her portion of noodles quickly and neatly, and then took out the pre-printed drawings.

Although he was a little unhappy that his little sister was talking about serious matters during dinner, he considered that as she said, reducing the casualty rate of the Silver Mane Guards was indeed an important matter, especially since this was heard by Jeppard who happened to be resting at home.

Well, she naturally couldn't continue to just eat and wait for death, she had to provide off-field assistance.

Shiluwa skillfully cleared the tableware and prepared a space for them to talk, while Pera spread out the drawings and looked towards Jeppard.

The young guard officer simply pushed his hand gently and said seriously, "Compared to me, Intelligence Officer Pelagea should be like Wendy..."

He paused slightly, as if hesitant about how to address Wendy correctly, while the latter smiled and said cheerfully, "Just call me Wendy."

"Is that so? In that case, you can just call me Jeppard."

He nodded in agreement and continued, "So, back to the previous point. I think it would be fine for Intelligence Officer Pelageya to answer the questions on my behalf. She's more familiar with you and is well-versed in these calculations. I believe this will make the conversation more efficient."

After all, in terms of position, as a guard officer of the Silver Mane Iron Guard, Jeppard has more say than the intelligence officer Pera. According to Beloberg's rules, it is natural that the superior speaks and the subordinates listen.

But it was already very rude to invite them over without permission. If I left my colleagues aside, it would be too arrogant. It would be better to give the initiative to Intelligence Officer Pelageya to show more sincerity and respect.

Such a frank behavior naturally won Wendy's favor. He nodded gently and agreed to the other party's proposal.

At the same time, Pella, who had been prepared, spoke at the right time.

"Well, let's get started—"

Chapter 49 Comedian

“First of all, I want to thank you Wendy for this gift.

The technology inside is very important to the current Silvermane Iron Guard. It can help many warriors survive in the Rift. This alone is enough for us to pay you our sincerest respects. "

Pera's expression was sincere and serious, and so was Jeppard. Even though he didn't understand it that deeply, he could easily understand the significance of these two technologies from the data on paper.

"I'm glad I could help you. After all, without the Silvermane Guards protecting the people, there would be no audience to listen to my performance."

Wendy joked with a playful wink.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid within three days I'll be homeless on the streets, relying on striking matches to dream of the days of being praised and applauded."

As if amused by his words, Pyrrha smiled and said subconsciously.

"If that day ever comes, I will take you in as an unemployed poet."

However, perhaps he sensed that the words were too intimate, and that Silvana's teasing gaze was too intense.

It really made her feel a little embarrassed, but as the saying goes, "Once the Winter City Shield is spent, it is like water poured out."

Pera was too embarrassed to revise it again, so she just pretended not to care about this little episode and continued.

"Ahem. Let's get back to the point. I have a few questions for you. If Wendy doesn't feel comfortable answering them, you don't have to. How about that?"

"Of course, no problem. I always answer any questions my friends ask for."

Wendy didn't continue teasing her, but answered with full loyalty.

"Thank you for your cooperation! So, the first question is—"

Pella glanced at him gratefully and spoke rapidly, her slender fingers sliding towards the names of the two technologies summarized in the blueprint.

"Where did Wendy find this technology, or rather, the mechanical bird?"

"You got it from a little girl by telling her a story?"

"Is this true..."

Pella originally thought that was just Wendy's excuse. How could she possibly get such important technology just by casually strolling around the lower area?

In that case, she might as well just go to the lower level area every day!

"However, the little sister's identity is not as simple as you think."

Wendy touched her smooth and clean chin and spoke mysteriously.

"She's the main figure in the "Mechanical Colony," one of the most powerful factions in the Lower District. She's a genius mechanic who single-handedly supports many people."

These words made everyone in the field fall into a kind of subtle atmosphere that was not quite silent, but it was unclear whether Wendy was joking or telling the truth.

"Ah...you don't have to praise me in such a roundabout way, right?"

Big Sister Shiluwa scratched her blushing cheeks, seeming a little embarrassed.

"No, this topic has nothing to do with you from beginning to end, right?"

Pyra pushed her glasses and said helplessly.

"Sister, please be serious."

Even Jeppard added.

Seeing her kindness being "ruined", Xiluwa puffed up her lips like a girl and muttered something under her breath:

"When I was in school, I was a well-known genius girl", "I am also the owner of the perpetual motion machine house. People nearby bring their geothermal heaters to me for repair!", "There are still many young people who love to listen to our rock music."

Suddenly the atmosphere became cheerful again.

"...But, speaking of which, could it be that she actually took these two pieces of technology from the mechanical settlement..."

Pyra frowned slightly, pondering the connection between the two.

"But why did that little sister give such a valuable thing to Wendy?"

Could it be that this little girl named Clara knew that Wendy had a very good personal relationship with her, so she specially handed it to her in this way?

If we talk about their relationship, it might be that Wendy mentioned it by chance and the other party remembered it, but why did she do that...

Logically speaking, there has been basically no news from the lower-level areas since the blockade order was implemented.

Most people in the upper district had no idea how the lower district had been doing over the years; even intelligence officers like her knew very little.

However, now even the city is experiencing the phenomenon of rift erosion, how can the lower areas be spared?

In this situation, it would be good enough if the lower districts did not hate the upper districts. Why should they aid the Silver Mane Iron Guards who no longer protect them?

Her keen intuition as an intelligence officer told her that there must be some important information hidden in it.

"Um... um, can I get a word in?"

Seeing that Pella seemed to be stuck in a rut, Shiluwa couldn't help but raise her hand.

However, although this move did divert Pera's attention, what was unexpected was that even Jeppard had a look of astonishment.

Instead, it was the Wendy boy who looked at her curiously, his pure eyes revealing a spirituality that most people in the city did not have.

Being looked at like this, even though she was already an old lady, Shiluwa felt a little embarrassed for no reason.

"Yeah, even I'd feel a little shy if you looked at me like that."

"What did you say?"

Pyrrha asked, looking at her hesitantly.

"Being looked at like that hurts—"

"It's not this sentence, it's the sentence before that."

"Ah? Why that? Hey! Can you please let me say something too? You can't have such a happy conversation here while I'm just staring blankly."

Shiluwa felt embarrassed and said it awkwardly.
