I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

We can't let that robot ruin the twisted crack that's about to be repaired.

Just like the Earthfire members who openly guard the rift, the girl wouldn't gamble on whether the protective barrier could withstand Schwarz's attack, nor would she think that "Hua Yi can repair the rift once, and even if something unexpected happens, he can still take action a second time."

If I can't even keep an eye on a crack that's under repair, then I'm really incompetent.

A battle could break out at any moment, but fortunately, Swallow stopped in time and left on his own shortly afterward, thus avoiding a conflict between the Earthfire and the Mechanical Settlement.

The tense crowd on the street regained its energy. Seele didn't intend to show herself or participate in the discussions, but that didn't stop her from being a listener in secret.

Then, the voice of a female member of the Earth Fire team soothing a child could be faintly heard from another direction.

"Hook, this is your candy as an early reward. Do you remember what I said?"

“I remember! Winter City…”

"No, don't shout that out loud now. Wait until night and find a secluded place."

"Hmm, so what kind of fox is the sister talking about?"

"It's an animal I saw in an old book. Back then, Beloborg hadn't been covered in snow yet, and various animals lived outside the upper district—you can think of it like the Adventure Mole Team, magical companions that only appear in specific places."

"Yay! A dare!"

Hook's tone was cheerful.

Even a girl like her could truly feel the joy of the people after arriving in Rivet Town, and was easily influenced by the atmosphere, becoming equally excited.

"If this adventure succeeds, the entire Lower District will see a turning point. We don't know the true situation in the Upper District, but Lord Hua Yi said it's not easy there either. Since the entire Beloberg is facing a crisis, how can a tyrannical ruler like Cocolia lead humanity to survival and create a future?"

"Uh……"

“It doesn’t matter if Little Hook doesn’t understand, just know that we are doing the right thing, and I’m not lying.”

"Don't treat me like a little kid! Even without adults, Hook can stand on his own!"

There's a problem; there's something wrong with these conversations.

Foxes again, future creators again... Does Natasha know what the others in the subterranean fire are up to?

Seele frowned, preparing to go to the secluded alley next door to catch the two guys plotting something and question them on the spot, when she suddenly remembered a detail.

It seems to be shortly after the children at Natasha's clinic finished their afternoon nap.

Therefore, Natasha must know that Hook has come to Rivettown.

Even if she takes a short break while the lower district welcomes its savior and the tense situation reverses, with the keen senses of a Fate Walker, she cannot possibly ignore Hook's movements.

Natasha was aware that the members of the Earthfire were secretly plotting something, but she did not stop them.

Then there's no problem!

Seele doesn't think she's any smarter than Nata.

Since the leader of the Earth Fire faction turns a blind eye to the actions of these people, it must not be a bad thing.

Don't think that just because the order in Rocky Town and Rivet Town is maintained by Earthfire, Earthfire members are superior.

After the Silvermane Iron Guards withdrew from the lower districts and the rift erosion spread here, there was far too much chaos in the underworld.

Tying on the red ribbon and joining the earth fire doesn't mean you'll gain much benefit. On the contrary, it's a responsibility that's destined to face all sorts of troubles, even confronting monsters from the rift, and where even your life can't be guaranteed.

Those who still act without hesitation in this situation should not be considered bad people.

Having confirmed that Natasha was fully aware of the changes inside the Earthfire, Seele disregarded what the organization members had told Hook and continued her mission of guarding the Rift.

Hook bid farewell to the older sister he knew, clutching the candy she had given him in advance, and kept recalling the things she had told him.

Lord Hook, in his dark form, is capable of handling things on his own and is a reliable helper. He will create a better future for the Lower District!

The girl wasn't some clueless fool who could be easily deceived; she was a journeyman, the captain of the adventurous mole team, and her intuition would tell Hook who the bad guys and good guys were.

First of all, Di Huo's sister is not a bad person.

Secondly, Hua Yi's brother is not a bad person.

So Hook readily agreed and prepared to find a way to escape the old witch's "surveillance" that night and run away to carry out an important mission.

This seems a bit difficult; perhaps I should find someone to help me?

How about we invite Clara? She's also a member of the Adventure Mole Team.

With this thought in mind, Hook sprinted towards the mechanical settlement.

Chapter 184 Each Has Their Own Thoughts

Clara, having received help from her powerful older brother in the large mining area, returned with a full load, ensuring that Hook didn't come away empty-handed.

With the recapture of Rivettown, a large number of townspeople returned home from the mechanical settlement. Schwarz will check the situation of the rift, and Earthfire will also be busy rebuilding the town.

Hua Yi knew that turmoil had already broken out in the lower district.

Just as he carefully considers every move he makes, he also keeps a sense of proportion when he brings about changes in the underworld.

The protective power is just right to repair the rift, which meets the actual needs of the lower zone and will not cause conflict between Schwarz and the Earthfire.

The star core brought pain to Beloberg, but the civilization itself displayed a tenacious vitality, forging suffering into a magnificent epic.

The robots are considering the survival of humanity, but they tend to be overly rational, while the Earth Fire is still acting in a protective manner.

No one is driven by selfish desires to fight for power and profit.

Over the past seven hundred years, there have been treacherous officials in Belleburg, several of whom are recorded in the information collected by Hua Yi alone. However, there are always outstanding individuals who emerge to make amends and bring everything back on track.

Therefore, Belloberg's [protection] is all the more precious.

"The monsters in the Great Mining Area have all been wiped out, and I have also suppressed the Rift."

Inside the clinic, Hua Yi shared the situation with Natasha, the leader of the Earth Fire.

Xing sat down next to him and started playing a single-player game on her phone. March 7th would glance at her phone screen every now and then, and then look towards Hua Yi.

Hiluva hummed a song she had written softly, thinking about what style of shoes she should make for Clara.

Bronya was sitting the most upright; anyone who didn't know better would think she was being scolded.

"Having dealt with many rifts, I've become quite skilled. The estimated repair time for the large mining area will be a bit faster than that for Rivet Town."

You can master this through practice?!

Listening to Hua Yi's narration, Natasha blinked twice, then quickly suppressed her surprise.

After all, it's him; it seems like he can do anything.

"The fire is still helping the residents of Rivet Town return to their homes, mainly through the distribution of daily necessities. The town's buildings and streets are basically well preserved, and they will be able to settle down soon."

"The resources in the lower levels are insufficient to complete the reconstruction. After I contact Swaro and we exchange ideas, I will return to the upper levels to persuade the High Guardian to lift the blockade and allocate resources to aid the underground."

March 7th loves taking photos, so this is a good opportunity to show the photos to Cocolia and let her understand the current situation in the lower district.

Hua Yi is very good at appealing to people's emotions and reasoning with them.

If sincerity fails to move the Great Guardian Lady, then the only option is to use magical gadgets to reason with her.

For example, railguns.

"persuade……"

Natasha couldn't read minds and didn't know that Hua Yi had already threatened Cocolia with the Truth Cannon.

She felt that the hero who brought hope to the lower districts was too gentle. Even when he was questioned by the townspeople when he first arrived in the underground world by cable car, he did not use his power as a Destiny Walker to look down on them. Instead, he went straight to Rivettown to help the displaced people reclaim their lost homes.

Others were skeptical, but he responded with a miracle.

As a member of the lower district as well, Natasha naturally benefited from this; conflict was avoided, a miracle suddenly occurred, and the doctor was sincerely grateful.

But if it were the High Warden of Cripper Castle...

If Hua Yi is too gentle, wouldn't that embolden the other party to take advantage of her?

Xing and March 7, who were by his side, were both simple-minded girls who were clearly not good at the political intrigue.

Although Bronya showed some consideration, she still seemed immature due to her age, and as a member of the Silvermane Iron Guard, it was still unknown whether she would side with Hua Yi or the Great Guardian in the future.

The remaining Sylva appears mature and reliable, but she is closer to Bronya and her stance is likely biased towards the High Guardian.

Therefore, the Earth Fire, and even the entire lower district, are needed to support Hua Yi.

This wasn't a high-stakes gamble, or even a significant sacrifice; the people simply made the choice they hoped for, wanting to follow the hero.

"Can Seele and I accompany you to the Upper District? To represent the Lower District people and negotiate with the High Warden as necessary?"

Are you sure it's just negotiations?

Hua Yi sensed a certain attitude hidden in Natasha's words.

She and Seele are also Destiny Walkers.

"I'm fine on my end, but what if the Earth Fire is without a leader and a key combatant, even if it's only temporary? Won't it become disoriented?"

“The people on the lower levels aren’t bad people; they just want to live. In the past, the double oppression of the rift and monster invasions caused people to become impulsive, irritable, and give up on themselves. Now that they see hope, things are naturally very different. Actually, compared to maintaining order, Di Huo mainly helps out with small tasks and does small things now.”

"You deserve the most credit for managing the underground fire so well."

Sealing the star core is not so simple. Suppressing the rift and eliminating monsters are not enough to completely change Cocolia.

Even if the lower-level areas are pacified, it will only be an extension of these two points.

Hua Yi had a pretty good idea of ​​what choice the Great Guardian would make. He gazed into Natasha's sincere and gentle eyes for a moment, then looked at Bronya.

"This Silvermane Iron Guard has always felt guilty, believing that the Builders failed to fulfill their duty of protection, and hopes to do as much practical work as possible for the Lower District. Bronya has experience in clerical work and also has the ability to eliminate monsters. If Miss Natasha has any work to do, you can entrust it to her."

“Then—please help me compile the Rivet Town report.”

"it is good."

Sitting upright, listening intently, Bronya's face lit up with joy. She got up and went to the table Natasha pointed to, picking up the pile of papers.

The above are all reports from members of the Earthfire team, covering the status of supplies and personnel return. They lack a unified format, and the reports look messy when put together. However, Bronya is the successor to the High Warden and has received special training, so she can handle it more than enough.

Instead of competing with her to do things, Hua Yi took out his own terminal and started playing online games with Xing via the local area network.

Seeing this, the others breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction. Hiluva also moved closer to them.

"What are you guys playing? Teach me!"

The hero who brought about a great turnaround to the lower districts finally got a moment's rest, but another group of people were very busy.

That night, fires were lit in the wasteland outside the town, and eerie cries carried far and wide in the silent air.

"Awoo—Winter City rises, King Hua Yi! Awoo—Death."

Chapter 185 Natasha: I'll handle it.

"Did you hear the mysterious sounds echoing outside the town yesterday?"

"That area between Rocky Town and the Mechanical Settlement, right? I not only heard it, but I also saw will-o'-the-wisps burning in the distant wasteland. It's really scary in the middle of the night—so what exactly is that sound? Awooo, awooo, even Mad Groundhogs and Jewel Lizards don't make that sound."

"It is said to be a fox, an animal that does not live underground."

"The animals from the upper level ran down? How is that possible? The furnace shaft was sealed off by Boss Schwarz, and the cable car hasn't been restarted. How could the animals have run down?"

"Anyway, before the upper and lower levels were sealed off, I never heard of many animals in the upper area. It's freezing cold outside in Belberg, how could they survive?"

The next day, when Hua Yi walked out of the Goethe Hotel, he heard a lot of people talking about it on the streets.

"Who can say for sure about such things? Maybe it's a blessing from the Amber King? First, he sent his apostles to suppress the rift, and now he's protecting all sorts of small lives."

"I heard it fairly clearly at the time. The howling was Dongcheng Xing... cough, I'll tell you in private, it might really be the Amber King's miracle."

Apart from a few specific types of underground organisms, there are not many small animals in the lower layers.

In fact, the same is true for the upper districts. Outside the city, the wind and snow raged, and the environmental conditions were extremely harsh. Only seven hundred years ago, before the cold wave appeared, were there books describing the diverse natural ecology.

What kind of materials did people in the lower classes see?

It's worth noting that even after Hua Yi bought all the newspapers and books from the bookstores in the upper district and compiled them into a database, he could only retrieve a few scattered descriptions of the once spring-like city of Belleberg.

Also, do foxes howl?
