"This, this is a misunderstanding, Big Sister Xier!"
Sambo, who originally had a sad face, changed his face into a flattering smile after seeing Xier coming.
"Oh? A misunderstanding? Those ancient robot parts you stole were a misunderstanding, and stealing the museum's collection was a misunderstanding? Even the singing... cough. Even Lord Barbatos's sacred object was a misunderstanding?"
Xier came closer with a sickle in her hand, and the look in her eyes looked as if she was considering where to cut the second piece of meat.
"You can't do that, Big Sister Xier, you know that our old Sangbo and that adult are indeed good friends!"
Sangbo was still begging for mercy, while the three nameless guests who were labeled as Sangbo's accomplices looked at each other in confusion. Dan Heng was responsible for the defense, while March Seven assisted in the evidence. As for Walter -
When he saw Xier, he froze in place.
Like, so similar.
If that girl had grown up, she would probably look like this. But although their appearance was very similar, their demeanor and temperament were completely different, almost like two different people.
Even compared to that child's other personality, although he gave people a similar impression of aggressiveness, the one in front of him was actually closer to the one who had been tempered by society. He was sharp but also calm.
If he hadn't known for sure that this planet was Yalilo-VI, he would have almost thought that he had entered a world bubble.
Perhaps noticing his gaze, the girl named Xier also glared at him, but she couldn't understand the complicated expression on his face, as if he had met an "acquaintance" he hadn't seen for many years and didn't dare to approach and talk to him.
"Hey—the one staring at me silently over there, have you seen me somewhere before?"
Xier always speaks her mind, and this also attracted everyone's attention.
Even San Yue Qi and Dan Heng showed a hint of curiosity. It was quite rare to see this veteran of the train crew being humiliated, so they had to record it well.
However, instead of panicking, which is the behavior of a beginner, Walter calmly apologized after being pointed out for his disrespectful behavior.
"I'm sorry to have made you all laugh. I just saw Miss Xi'er's face and thought of a younger generation from my hometown, and I couldn't help feeling emotional."
"Homeland? It seems you really are from outer space."
Compared to the Silver Mane Iron Guards who always thought they were fanciful and even thought most of them were just talking nonsense, Miss Xier was much more receptive to new things.
Of course, the greatest achievement was definitely not Walter's dry remark: "You look a lot like one of my juniors." This might sound fine at first glance, but in reality it could easily be interpreted as arrogant.
When March 7 showed her the photo of the planet with Yarilo-VI on it, Xier had actually already believed it.
After all, the last guy from outside Beloberg had become a savior. And this group of nameless guests, from all aspects, did not seem to be people with ulterior motives. She believed she could tell that.
After landing on this planet, he tied up the first person he met, the profiteer Sambo. This must have been an act of justice he took spontaneously after learning about what this guy had done.
What bad intentions could guys like this have?
Although there is definitely selfish motive involved, and the intention is to establish good relations with local law enforcement agencies, who would want to be labeled a criminal suspect for no apparent reason when they have done nothing?
More importantly, I wonder how that guy in the city would react when he knew that such a group of people showed up?
Thinking of this, Xier's mouth also showed a smile as annoying as Wendy's.
"Alright. Outsiders, follow me. Beloberg is just beyond this road. Be thankful that you don't have to walk through the vast snow and get your toes black and frozen."
On the way back, Walter asked Xier several key questions again.
For example, who caused such a large-scale change of seasons on this planet, were there also major changes in the political structure of the city, and who was Lord Barbatos who was repeatedly mentioned by the Silver Mane Guards?
Xier did not hide this.
“The first and third questions are the same thing, so I will discuss them together later.
Compared to this, the timing of your trip is actually perfect. If it were earlier, I wouldn't have thought this boring snowy scene would be so beautiful, but now the planet's climate has changed, and there are supposedly seasonal changes like spring, summer, and autumn. I'm sure there will be some beautiful scenery waiting for you outside.
As for the second question, although this is considered inside information, you will probably know it without asking once you enter the city. The current consul, or what we call the Grand Guardian, has indeed been replaced by a new person.
The bustling scene inside and outside the city today is half due to that guy.
Then there are the first and third questions I just answered. They are related to each other. After all, the singing man—ahem! Lord Barbatos is the one who blew away the snow, split the mountains, dissolved the long cold wave, and brought warm spring to Beloberg.
Even though Xier had an amazing lung capacity, she couldn't help but take a few breaths after speaking such a long paragraph.
The other three looked at each other in confusion. Although it was obvious that Miss Xier had a close relationship with the Lord Barbatos, even to the extent of using a nickname for him, it seemed that due to certain regulations, she had to use a more official term to introduce the other party.
"I see. Thank you for your advice." Compared to the gentle and refined Walter, Xier preferred to chat with the pink-haired girl next to him.
Who would want to say such a long paragraph only to be replied with “I’ve learned something”? It’s just as old-fashioned as those old city builders!
In comparison, this girl named March 7th is more sensible.
"Sure enough, there's something like this going on. It seems like even though we're late, we're not too late. We should at least be able to make it to their celebration party in no time!"
The pink-haired girl has a sweet smile that makes people feel friendly.
"Wow~ The scenery along the way is really nice. Although the plains don't have much to offer, for some reason, this breeze makes me want to take a nice nap too. Ha~"
As March Seven spoke, he stretched. There weren't that many planets like this one that could communicate peacefully. Often when an unknown traveler went to an unknown planet, they would either take the initiative to fight or be forced to fight. There weren't many peaceful adventures.
It’s nice to be able to experience the beauty of an alien planet like shopping every now and then.
Dan Heng also agreed with this point. It would be better to say that although he was still wary, Walter could see that he was in a good mood.
He also continued to be in charge of the inquiry work, allowing the two young people to have more time to relax.
"By the way, could Miss Xier please tell us more about Lord Barbatos?"
"Well, you'll find out after you enter the city and talk to the Great Guardian in person. She's the most popular Barbatos fan in the city right now. She keeps raving about him all day long, and I'm almost getting calluses on her ears."
After saying that, Xier led everyone to the foot of the wall of Beloberg, slightly turned half of her face, with a serious and solemn expression.
"Now, welcome to the 'City of Preservation and Freedom'—Beloberg."
Chapter 95: Xier~Sister~Sister~
What appeared in everyone's sight was the Everlasting City, which looked like a miniature of the Frozen Age.
The huge outer wall is covered with various scars, and the artillery fire mounted on the wall is cold and carries a murderous atmosphere like gunpowder smoke. It is not difficult to imagine that before the cold wave receded, the people here used such primitive means to resist certain existential threats.
In order to better understand this last bastion of mankind, Beloberg, the nameless guests chose to enter the city.
The scene here is completely different from that outside the city.
If March 7th were to be described, it would definitely be "Everyone is working hard!"; but if Dan Heng were to describe it, it would be "People all have some common beliefs."
But for Walter, he could accurately sense that the wind flowing in the city was no different from the wind outside, always a pure and soft breeze.
It is this breeze that seems to supply the blood for the city to operate, giving people unimaginable power.
"Announcement! The people of Beloberg, the Great Guardian will hold a fireside chat tonight in West Wind Church via the Earth Marrow Receiver. Please tune in!"
"In order to open up the plains north of the city, we need to contribute more strength to the Guardian!"
"Shop curfew hours can be extended to midnight, and some banned items will be gradually restocked this month! Also, please note: The commercial area has been tidied up, and everyone is welcome to move in. Those from the lower-level areas will receive additional subsidies and rent reductions upon application!"
"The Great Guardian deeply loves all her people. Not only does she have the watchful eye of the protector star god, Krippo, but she also brings us all the chances of a turnaround and a breeze of hope: Lord Barbatos! May [Beloberg] bid farewell to winter snow and enjoy spring all year round!"
As the crowd moved forward, one could always see soldiers dressed in Silver Mane Iron Guards making loud announcements on the streets.
According to Xier, that was a branch of the intelligence department and a messenger of the propaganda department.
Basically, there is someone saying something loudly every few meters.
Most of the topics are related to revival, such as military service, medical care, office work, transportation, and production. No matter which one, there is guaranteed to be remuneration that matches the labor, so please be sure to maintain work enthusiasm.
At the same time, patients who have suffered from miners' diseases due to working in the lower mining areas for many years are also required to be sent to Renxin Hospital in Beloberg for treatment. The cure rate is guaranteed to be high and no fees are charged. This is partly related to the fact that their new director also comes from the lower area.
Moreover, the former great guardian of this city, Cocolia, was mentioned without reservation.
According to these propagandists, the Great Guardian now knows that treating his people differently is an extremely wrong choice, and is willing to compensate for the mistakes made during Cocolia's rule. He will never let Beloberg repeat the same mistakes. All people, regardless of their status, will be treated equally as long as they work.
There are also many oral accounts from people who have experienced it firsthand.
"I'm just an ordinary homeless person from the lower class area. In the past ten years when the lower class area was blocked, guys like us have been worried about survival problems countless times.
But now that the Great Guardian has opened the cable car to the lower area, we can see the light of day again. We no longer have to worry about survival. With hard work, we can even own our own home! We've been waiting for such a long time to live a stable life without wandering around!
"Nostalgia! This year marks the first anniversary of the establishment of the Lord Barbatos Fan Club. Initially, I was also obsessed with some self-proclaimed elegant music, until I heard Barbatos's public performance in the square that day. Then I realized what true heavenly music is. Lord Barbatos's music is truly beautiful and spicy!"
If you join the fan club now, you will also receive the same white stockings as Lord Barbatos. Let us all become the bards of the Pastoral City!"
Although there seemed to be something strange mixed in, in short, with the propaganda machinery of the entire city in operation, the streets of Beloberg were crowded with people.
Everyone was busy with their own work, walking hurriedly, each doing their own thing. When they met each other, they would call each other comrades. The prosperity of the city was even greater than many cities that the nameless guests had seen. It was hard to believe that such a city had experienced a world-destroying battle not long ago.
This city, constructed from two giant gears, has experienced a disaster that nearly caused it to fall apart. Now, it is more united than ever before. People are put into the machine as tightly as screws, allowing it to run at full speed.
"Hmm, I always feel like the atmosphere here is too heated..."
Perhaps it was because she had caught a glimpse of the real corner of the city that the ice girl looked helpless, as if she was about to melt.
"Hmm? Really? I think this lively atmosphere is quite nice."
Xier's mouth corners curled up slightly, and she seemed to be in a happy mood.
"You may not know, but not long ago, there was not a single soul to be seen on the streets. Back then, people were shivering in shelters like moles, praying that the end of the world would not come. However, their trusted former guardians chose to abandon them and throw themselves into the hands of the disaster.
In the past, Beloberg was always shrouded in a shadow of despair. No one could escape from this cage. Even if they could, the outside world was filled with endless wind and snow. No one could survive. Everyone's soul was suppressed—"
"And after this long period of repression, what we are greeted by is the current scene of overflowing vitality, right?"
Walter said aloud.
"Yes."
Xier nodded indifferently, showing a lack of interest in Walter.
And he could naturally feel Xier's discriminatory attitude, but surprisingly - he was not surprised. After all, Xier in his world was not the type who was particularly good at talking to strangers.
There are only a few people she is close to, and the one she likes and trusts the most is Bronya, the heir she chose.
The feelings between them obviously go beyond friendship, and even go one step further, to the feelings between lovers... Well, this is just a common phenomenon in that world.
Of course, it is undoubtedly arrogant to apply past cognition to the current situation.
However, the appearance of this similarity always brings some comfort to his homesickness.
If he could provide some help within his ability to this newly born city after the disaster, he would never refuse.
During the visit, many children also discovered them and came over happily, with some of them eagerly calling Xier's name.
"Look, it's Sister Xier. She's back from outside the city. She must have brought back a lot of new achievements!"
"Sister Xi'er is so handsome. I really hope I can marry her in the future..."
The purple-haired girl, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed her smug expression and glared at the place where the voice came from with some embarrassment and anger.
The girls standing over there also looked back at her with sparkling eyes. There was no doubt that if Xier invited them to go home, they would definitely nod immediately, and even go home to pack their bags and send themselves over.
——Even bolder than those boys.
March Seven was trying hard to hold back her laughter, Dan Heng had no choice but to cover for her, and Walter thought it was normal.
Many citizens who came to join in the fun also cast their attention over here and chatted from time to time.
Most of them are in the nameless guest's outfit, which is novel and trendy and is in line with the style of Beloberg's transformation.
This situation of going from being a visitor to being the one being visited is really laughable.
After a little commotion, everyone's topic inevitably fell on "cold wave", "world-ripping monsters" and "Legion of Destruction".
But the person who took over Xier's job was another petite intelligence officer with round cheeks.
"Greetings, everyone. I have received word from the messenger accompanying the team and have reported the matter. The Lord Guardian has expressed his willingness to negotiate with you. The responsibility for leading your troops will now be transferred from Lieutenant Xier to me."
She pushed up her glasses, which were as cute and round as her face, and introduced herself seriously.
"I'm Pelageya Sergeyevna, intelligence officer of the Silvermane Guard. You can call me Pella—"
Chapter 5 Bronya and the Outsider K
"We're here. This is Krippleburg, the heart of Belloburg, the headquarters of the city builders—and also where the Lord Guardian works."
After saying several titles in a row, Pella turned around and looked at the three nameless guests following behind her.
