"Gathering intelligence? What kind of information do you need a child to help you find out?"
Xier looked at Zhou Xingxing with a suspicious expression.
"Hooke isn't a child anymore."
Hook protested, looking aggrieved, but this time his protest in front of Seele lacked the smugness he had shown before.
"This matter cannot be explained in a short time. Why don't you introduce me to the leader of the Earth Fire?"
Stephen Chow got straight to the point.
However, without Sambo's introduction this time, Seele didn't seem so easy to talk to.
"Are you looking down on me? And who are you, the leader who immediately mentions the Earth Fire? What are your intentions? You're not trying to deceive Hook, are you?"
As she spoke, Xi'er's gaze towards Zhou Xingxing instantly turned sharp.
"Hey, no, no! Sister Seele! The honorary team member didn't lie to Hook! The honorary team member even gave Hook lots of delicious candy!"
As he spoke, Hook pulled a few candies out of his pocket and showed them to Seele.
Upon seeing this, Seele couldn't help but cover her forehead. She said she wasn't being tricked, but she was completely fooled by a few candies.
Chapter 25 Earth Fire
“Sister Xi’er, Brother Xing didn’t lie to you, they really are good people.”
Seeing that something was wrong, Julian quickly ran over to explain to Seele, and also told her how they met.
"So that's how it is... You were brought here by Sambo. Alright, in that case, I'll trust you for now."
Xi'er nodded, and her gaze towards Zhou Xingxing softened.
At this moment, Bronya returned everything to the miners and walked over to Zhou Xingxing.
"Hello, your name is Seele, right? My name is Bronya."
Bronya introduced herself to Seele.
"Hey, wait a minute, don't try to get close to me, you Silvermane Iron Guard. I can't handle it."
Seele deliberately turned her head away from Bronya, seemingly harboring great resentment towards the Silvermane Guards.
"I... don't need to look down on the Silvermane Iron Guards so much."
Seeing Seele's repeated attitude, Bronya also became somewhat angry.
"I look down on the Silvermane Iron Guards? Don't be ridiculous. Aren't we the Silvermane Iron Guards looking down on us from the lower districts?"
Upon hearing this, Seele's tone was filled with anger and resentment.
"You Silvermane Iron Guards withdrew from the Lower District, isolating it from the Upper District, while you yourselves live comfortably up there. But do you know how hard we Lower Districts have suffered all these years, young lady of the Silvermane Iron Guards?"
"I will not allow you to insult the Silvermane Iron Guards like that! They are warriors who are fighting bravely against the Rift creatures on the front lines. They are protecting the people of the entire Upper and Lower Berloburg districts!"
Bronya was agitated, and the two immediately clashed, the atmosphere thick with tension.
"Calm down, Bronya, we didn't come here to argue."
Stephen Chow grabbed Bronya's wrist and pulled her behind him, separating the two; otherwise, they would probably have fought like cats.
"Humph."
Seeing that Zhou Xingxing had pulled Bronya away, Seele snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.
Bronya, who had been pulled behind Stephen Chow, took a deep breath and calmed down.
“I’m sorry… I got carried away. The changes in the lower districts are far greater than I imagined, but the people in the upper districts are definitely not just indulging in pleasure as you say. I believe the High Guardian has her own reasons for issuing this order.”
Bronya sounded somewhat guilty, but she still persisted in defending the Silvermane Iron Guards.
"Sigh... Never mind, I don't know what the Great Guardian is thinking. I only know that in recent years, many people in the lower districts have even found it a luxury to get a decent meal. Otherwise, why do you think the wanderers would rather take a beating from me than risk stealing the miners' food?"
Seele shook her head, and both sides took a step back, which could be considered a reconciliation.
"You can see the leader, but in our lower district, we believe in an equal exchange. You help me, and I'll introduce you to the leader of the Earth Fire. Is that alright?"
Xi'er then looked at Zhou Xingxing and asked.
“No problem, I know that the lower district is most lacking in various daily necessities, and I can provide them.”
Zhou Xingxing nodded; the Huanyu Jiapin gift package he had bought earlier was meant to come in handy at this moment.
"Oh? You can provide supplies? How much?"
Upon hearing that Stephen Chow could provide supplies, Xi'er immediately became interested.
"Filling this square wouldn't be a problem."
Zhou Xingxing pointed to a large open space at the entrance of the mine.
"Really? How could you possibly have brought so many supplies to the lower levels?"
Seele was so startled that her eyelids twitched, and then she raised a question.
With so many supplies, it's impossible to hide them even if you wanted to. And even if you did manage to hide them, it would be disastrous if the homeless found them.
Zhou Xingxing smiled, said nothing, and simply pulled out an apple from thin air and handed it to Xi'er.
"Taste this."
Xier stared in surprise at the apple that had appeared out of nowhere in Zhou Xingxing's hand, and then reached out and took it, somewhat dumbfounded.
"This is delicious! Sister Seele, please try it!"
Hook licked his lips as he saw the apples. He had just eaten two himself and they tasted even better than candy.
Click.
With a crisp sound, Seele chewed on the crunchy, sweet food called apple.
"I've never eaten anything like this before! What is this? It doesn't even need cooking, yet it tastes so delicious!"
Seele stared wide-eyed at the apple in her hand, unable to contain her surprise.
"This is called an apple. It's something Belloberg doesn't have. This star came from outside our planet to help us solve the crisis our planet is currently facing."
Bronya spoke, also mentioning Xing's identity.
"Outside the planet..."
Seele frowned slightly. She had thought these people came from the upper zone, but it turned out they were from outside the planet.
If it were before, I might not have believed it.
But after eating the apple, Seele had to believe it, because she had never seen or even heard of such a food since birth.
"Alright, I'll trust you for now. I can take you to see Oleg, but I have some things to do before that."
Seele nodded and said Oleg's name, which also represented her trust.
"Thank you, Xi'er."
Bronya smiled and thanked her.
"Hmph, no need to thank me. I didn't agree because of you. I only agreed because Xing was able to provide us with supplies."
Seele said with a haughty expression.
"Ah."
Bronya smiled but didn't say anything.
After a brief encounter, Bronya knew that the person in front of her wasn't a bad person, just a bit sharp-tongued but kind-hearted.
"Did Seele find what the old witch... um... Natasha needed?"
Seeing that the atmosphere among the three had eased, Hook was relieved.
"Yes, I found some remaining medical supplies at the clinic in Rivet Town. I was just about to deliver them when I saw that they were being robbed by homeless people here."
Seele smiled and nodded at Hook.
"But Hook, be careful what you say in front of Natasha so you don't let anything slip."
"Hmm! Hook will be careful!"
Hook quickly covered his mouth.
"Then shall we go with you?"
Seeing that Xi'er was preparing to deliver medical supplies, Zhou Xingxing also prepared to follow.
"As you wish."
As Seele spoke, she turned and walked toward Rocky Town, and Hook quickly called for Zhou Xingxing and Bronya to follow.
Following Seele, we arrived at Natasha's clinic, where Natasha was busy preparing various medicines.
"Nata, I brought back what you asked for."
Seele placed a cardboard box on the table and called out to Natasha.
"Thank you, Seele. We were just about to run out of medical supplies, this is a real lifesaver."
Natasha wiped the sweat from her forehead, turned to Seele, and smiled.
"Hey, who are these two?"
Seeing Zhou Xingxing and Bronya following behind Seele, he asked curiously.
"Ah, I met him when I helped the miners recover the supplies that the wanderers had taken. This one is a Silvermane Iron Guard, and this one is said to be from outside the planet."
Seele looked at the two of them and introduced them to Natasha.
"Outside the planet...?"
Natasha was somewhat surprised when she heard the identities of the two men.
The Silvermane Iron Guards are fine, but what's the meaning of these guys coming from outside this planet?
"Actually, I can't explain it very clearly either. You should let him explain it himself."
Xi'er was a little troubled, since she herself didn't really understand, so she simply passed the buck to Zhou Xingxing.
"Hello, Miss Natasha, my name is Xing, and I am a pioneer from outside your planet."
Zhou Xingxing nodded and began to introduce Natasha.
