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

No matter what means the other party used to come to the upper area, it must be related to Wendy. After all, as far as she knows, Wendy is one of the only two people who can freely return to the upper and lower areas.

The other one is the one who is often caught by the guard officer Jeppard, and his name seems to be Bosan?

He was a double-dealer who often traded goods in the upper class area. He occasionally sold things that had not been approved by the market and was involved in several fraud cases.

Although he often emphasizes that this is a buying and selling transaction, something that is consensual, how can it be called a scam?

But whenever the Iron Guards caught him cheating, they would take him back to jail for a few days. And this guy was extremely good at sweet talk, making up a miserable story about his life, which often aroused the sympathy of the trainee judges and often reduced his sentence.

According to the several versions of his life story collected by Pera, it is easy to imagine that he is a complete liar.

He feels like the kind of "bad buddy" who would hypocritically hang out with Wendy.

She had always wanted to find an opportunity to remind Wendy of this.

Those who said things like taking him in were probably out of a "loving mother's" concern that Wendy might learn bad things.

However, let’s not discuss the question of whether Wendy will “make the wrong friends” for now.

Under the current circumstances, she has heard many people discussing today's big news.

Silva, and Wendy. Her two important friends were actually wanted for treason...

It goes without saying that she is probably also a "person to be done" on the Great Guardian's side.

If you don't go now, when will you wait?

While catching her breath, Pera was also a little worried. At least Shiluwa had the support of Guard Officer Jeppard.

Even though she is in jail now and looks miserable, who would really dare to torture her?

Do you really think that the Langdao family will surrender just because you persuade them to? After all, they are a family of city builders. At most, they have been caught off guard. Wait for them to investigate.

They will definitely find this matter very strange, and they will definitely not let Shiluwa die in vain before it is investigated.

But Wendy is different.

He had neither status nor backing, and out of professional habit, she had investigated Wendy's background.

But the answer was nothing, as if Beloberg had conjured this person out of thin air.

Coupled with the poetry that always seems particularly whimsical and the character that pursues freedom.

Perhaps, the other party really is from another distant planet...

Thoughts like this naturally occurred to him more than once, but no matter what, the help from his hometown would certainly not be able to help him at this time.

If he was really caught by the Iron Guard, he would definitely be pushed out by the Great Guardian, no, Cocolia, as a scapegoat for execution.

A simple and naive guy like that must not lose his life for such an unfounded reason.

Pera clutched her round velvet hat tightly, and the Cecilia flower pinned on the hat swayed in the wind.

The girl's mind was so anxious.

until--

I finally met the well-groomed Wendy at the corner, and I finally put my worry aside.

She almost sprinted to the other person, then took his hand and prepared to continue running.

"There's no time to lose. I'll explain it to you later, but for now, let's—"

Before the girl finished her words, another huge force came from her arm, almost lifting her up.

She had only seen such power displayed in Garrison Officer Jeppard and a few lieutenants.

When she realized that the person holding her was actually a girl of about the same age as her, only half a head taller than her, Pyrrha spoke in surprise.

"What a great strength! Are you a female gorilla?"

"Putting aside that inexplicably infuriating adjective you used last time, are the upper echelons of the city full of suspicious people like you who can just grab someone's hand and run off?"

Xier replied with a dark face.

The person who stopped Pera could only be her. If it was Swarovski, Pera would probably be lifted into the air and do a ballet spin.

"Hey, isn't this the mechanical bird that Sister Wendy took from me?"

Then, a soft girl's voice sounded.

Pella looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl with white hair, red eyes, and a lovely, childish face. She was sitting in the arms of a humanoid robot taller than a wolf.

The rose-red single eye, the sturdy and tall fuselage, and the imposing old military uniform gave Pella a strong sense of oppression.

This automatic control unit, which can be seen at a glance as a relic from the Earth Marrow Development Corps era, is actually still able to move?

Pella took a step back in surprise, and Wendy, who was being pulled by her, introduced herself to her proudly.

"Hey, Perla. We're coming to find you! Don't be afraid, they're all my family, my family from the Lower District—"

Before Pera understood what he meant by family, Wendy dropped another bombshell.

"As you can see, I am the grave sinner who caused the Wind Demon Dragon to attack the city. I am now preparing to surrender. Do you want to come with me?"

"……what?"

The round-faced girl wearing glasses had her brain in a state of panic at this moment.

Chapter 78: Jail is like going home

In Pera's worried and pitying eyes.

Wendy, who was mistakenly thought to be "scared out of her mind," made the necessary explanations.

By having the mechanical bird play images, he told Pella about the star core and the truth that the great guardians had concealed in the past.

This information was originally intended to be stored in the mechanical bird, just waiting for Pera to dig it out, but it couldn't be better to use it now.

The amount of information contained in this made Pera fall into a long silence.

She held her forehead, unable to digest the truth for a moment.

However, these past events have already happened. Even if we want to find out the mental journey of people at that time, now is not the best time.

Compared to that, Pera was more focused on the plan Wendy mentioned.

"...In other words, you're only pretending to be caught, but you're actually planning to use this opportunity to tear off the Guardian's facade in one fell swoop?"

Pera pushed her glasses up, her expression a complex mixture of disbelief and trying to believe.

"And she's still calling me Lord Guardian? I wonder if she's in a good mood towards you loyal Iron Guardsmen."

Xier's expression was a little playful.

"She's wanted without hesitation, without a trace of past sympathy. In that respect, it fits my stereotype of her perfectly."

"...Alas. I used to be unable to understand why Lady Cocolia would change so drastically, but if the culprit behind all this is the star core, then perhaps that explains it."

Pera didn't want to sigh, but she felt helpless at the moment.

Her eyes, as blue as the sky, also had a hint of melancholy.

"To be honest, I'm still a little dizzy. Although Beloberg wasn't rich in the past, at least life was stable.

But in the blink of an eye, the world seems to have suddenly changed. People face more severe survival challenges, friends are caught up in conspiracies, and even the most respected and trusted Great Guardian has become such a mastermind.

Even if reality doesn't respect logic, such a dramatic change is too bad..."

If it were compiled into a novel, it would probably be placed at the bottom of the bookshelf after publication and would be a piece of bad work that no one would read.

As for Xier, although she also knew these truths for the first time, her mental journey was not as complicated as Pera's.

For her, who grew up in a lower-class area, she had to be the "boss" of everyone.

Naturally, he had to be responsible for the people under his command, not just his subordinates, but also the people in the town, the mining teams in the mining area, or even just the wanderers he had just met once.

For the Dihuo led by Oleg, these people all need to be protected, and their lives themselves make no difference.

Even Natasha behind the scenes, if it weren't for her compassion as a doctor, with her talent, why would she condescend to stay in the lower class area? She could have worked in the hospital where her adoptive parents worked, lived in the villa in the safest administrative district of Beloberg, and led a leisurely elite life.

Therefore, if I really have to say what I feel about Cocolia, it would be at most - she has become a puppet that doesn't even know whether she has a self or not, so what else can I expect?

All the hatred and dissatisfaction turned into a kind of contempt for the hopeless at this moment, and she was unwilling to give even a trace of unnecessary pity.

The only thing left was a stronger determination to overthrow such a foolish ruler.

At this time, Wendy also spoke to Pella at the right time.

"Anyway, although I really want to say that I understand your feelings, after all, these are just words of comfort based on friendship. Moreover, given the tacit understanding between us, saying these things would be a bit too clichéd-"

He looked at Pyrrha, whose eyes seemed to brighten a little, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"So, cast aside those insignificant worries and concerns. My friend, as long as you are willing to place your trust in me, I will surely bring you the beauty of all things in the changing seasons."

"..."

Pella held her breath and pondered for a moment. Amidst the gazes of those who were either expectant, bored, or considering, she finally chose to hold Wendy's hand.

"It's probably too late to quit now, right? It's really like forcing the drummer to go on the shelf—"

The girl's palms were warm and soft, while the poet's hands were slender and smooth.

When the two hands are put together, something brilliant seems to be born.

But soon, another hand intervened, and Xier slapped her hand on the back of Wendy's hand a little roughly.

At the puzzled looks from the two, she tilted her head and said.

"Why, naturally I have to be included in this kind of thing, right? This is the style of the lower class district."

"Well, Clara counts as one too."

This time, even Clara covered it with her little hand, and then looked at Swarovski with anticipation.

The latter was silent for a moment, then knelt on one knee and lifted up the other four people with his huge mechanical hand.

"It seems that Pella has been dragged into this pirate ship by us."

Wendy, who reacted the fastest, said with a smile.

"When the atmosphere is so good, please don't suddenly say something that will cause people to worry about the legitimacy of the organization!"

Pera argued with him as usual.

"Hey, who said our Earth Fire is not serious?"

"Hey, but Mr. Swarlow and I are from the mechanical settlement, right?"

"According to calculations, Intelligence Officer Pelageya Sergeyevna was merely joking with the poet."

"That's right, we are all family from the lower class district."

Wendy emphasized in a sticky voice.

"So, next time you have the chance, you must hold a welcome ceremony."

"You're just saying this to get some free drinks, right?"

Xier and Pyra said almost at the same time.

Then, out of some kind of intuition between women, the two of them met eyes, as if there was an invisible contest.

Wendy looked at the two of them in surprise.

"Why does it feel like you two aren't meeting for the first time? I'm almost jealous of how well you two mesh together."

You know, he spent a lot of effort to gain the trust of these two people.

However, neither of them answered the poet's question, but simply changed the subject tacitly again.

"Compared to that, right now, business is more important, right?"

"That's right. If we delay any further, Lady Kokolia might do something even more drastic. Then Silva's suffering will be in vain."

Afterwards, in this double act, Xier expressionlessly found the rope to tie the person up, while Pera also fully exerted her subjective initiative as an intelligence officer.

Perfect some details that may be exposed, striving to make Wendy look flawless.
