Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 37 Title: He tried to kidnap Liuying again, but was discovered by Ye Tianyu. In the end, he was hung up and whipped repeatedly.

"Okay, I understand. So why are you here?" Cocolia asked.

"We are here because the Star Train is blocked. We need to solve the problem here before we can leave safely." Ji Zi said.

"Okay, I understand. But can you explain in detail what caused it?" Cocolia asked again.

"According to our predecessors, it's an object called a star core that makes the track unusable. After it's resolved, we can leave when the star track stabilizes." Ji Zi explained.

"I see... so you have a way to solve this disaster?"

"We can't do it alone. But the seniors on the train can," Himeko explained.

"Okay, I understand. It's getting late, and you must be tired. I have arranged for you to stay in the most comfortable hotel in the city and have a good sleep. I will send someone to invite you all at noon tomorrow, and we will discuss this important matter in detail." Cocolia said with a smile.

"Okay, we would like to thank the Great Guardian for his recognition." Ji Zi also said with a smile.

Then several people walked out of Klipper Castle. However, Xing seemed to feel something before leaving, but he was not sure.

"Hmm? Why do I feel like someone is watching me..." Ji Zi looked around strangely.

"What's wrong with Sister Ji Zi?" San Yueqi asked puzzledly.

"Nothing. Maybe it's just my imagination." Ji Zi said. "Let's go! Let's go to the market here."

"Great! This is the happiest time of our pioneering journey!" said March 7 happily.

"We girls are planning to go shopping, Danheng, what about you?" Ji Zi asked.

"I'll just stay in the hotel." Dan Heng said.

"Okay, Danheng, you go to the hotel by yourself. We will come later." Ji Zi smiled and patted Danheng's shoulder.

"I understand." Dan Heng nodded and said.

The three then walked towards the nearest Everwinter nameplate to take a look.

"Look, that ice sculpture is so special! It somehow fits in with this city." March 7 said with some surprise as he looked at the ice sculpture in front of him.

"It is indeed very suitable. However, according to the system's investigation, this ice sculpture is not actually made of ice, but a kind of energy crystal and some mechanical parts."

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the intelligence officer of the Silver Mane Guards and the temporary guide of the [Beloberg Historical Tour], Pelageya Sergeyevna." A girl wearing a beret and thick-bottomed glasses said. "You can just call me Pella."

"Sister Perla~" the children shouted cutely.

"Sister Pera~" Xing also shouted.

"Please, adults, don't imitate children as if nothing has happened!" Pera said speechlessly.

"Okay, kids, please look: this is the [Eternal Winter Monument], it was erected to commemorate the great city builders." Pella recovered and explained to the children. "The city builders were followers of the star god Klipper. It was they who foresaw the crisis, built high walls, established Beloberg, and preserved the fire of human civilization..."

"Does anyone have any questions?" Pera asked.

After listening to Pera's story, several people walked towards the [Perpetual Motion] Mechanical House that Jeppard had mentioned before.

"We've arrived at the [Perpetual Motion] Mechanical House! Didn't Jeppard say there would be a performance here?" March Seven asked puzzledly while looking around.

"It seems there will be no performance today." Ji Zi said to San Yue Qi with a smile. "Ah... I really want to watch it..." San Yue Qi said with some regret.

"By the way, look over there. I wanted to complain just now - this city is so weird, why are the heaters piled outside the supplies?" March 7 said puzzledly.

"Normally, shouldn't this kind of heating equipment be installed indoors?"

"Do they want to use this thing to resist the cold wave?" Xing expressed his thoughts.

"If you say so, these city builders are quite naive."

Ji Zi didn't say anything, she just kept trying to hold back her laughter.

"Ha, you can still chat for so long in front of a broken heater?" A lady with blond hair, a small tuft of blue, and blue pupils who looked very heroic walked out of the house.

"Wow! What a pretty sister!" Sanyueqi looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise.

"Hi, hello." Xing said politely.

"Hello. My name is Shiluwa, and I'm the owner of this mechanical shop." Shiluwa said. "If you have any broken equipment, you can come to me, but I can't guarantee that I'm interested in repairing it."

"No, no, I'm just curious about this heater..." said March 7.

"The heater... curious? Isn't this just an ordinary earth marrow heater? There are so many of them in the administrative district." Shiluwa said in confusion, but then she suddenly realized something. "Ah! I know! I heard from a guard who was not very tight-lipped that several [outsiders] met with Cocolia - you guys, right?"

"This is such a rare guest! Come in! No matter what it is, I want to have a good chat with you~"

Then everyone entered the machinery room.

"What you just saw was the most common earth marrow heater in our Beloberg. Don't be fooled by its inconspicuous appearance. It is the life guarantee of the people here." Shiluwa knocked on the working earth marrow heater and said.

"You know, the snow and wind outside are so strong. If there weren't some reliable heating methods, the whole Beloberg would have become a dead city long ago."

"Is there a distinction between upper and lower Beloberg?" Xing asked doubtfully.

"You don't know because you just arrived. The structure of the city of Beloberg is like two large discs connected together. The upper area is responsible for administration and trade, while the lower area is responsible for energy and resource extraction." Shiluwa explained.

"Alas... But since the order issued by the Great Guardian many years ago, there has been no personnel communication between the two places for a long time..."

"Well, why are you talking about these awful things...just treat me as me talking to myself."

"It seems that Miss Shiluwa is very dissatisfied with this order? And from your tone, it seems that you know the Great Guardian?" Ji Zi asked doubtfully.

"Alas...my former friend is now...just a stranger who goes against my way..." Shiluwa said helplessly.

"Sorry... for bringing up some of your sad stories." Ji Zi said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's all over. You guys seem to be free, why don't you try to help me fix the heater? Just treat it as a handicraft activity, it's very interesting." Shiluwa passed it over and didn't discuss it any further.

"Can I try it? It seems very interesting..." Xing said, looking at the device with some curiosity.

"Okay, let's try it!" Shiluwa said happily.
