Star Railway: The story of Kaffa being born with two babies at the start shocks her.

"However, Bronya was a little disappointed before she left—"

Xi'er looked at Zhou Xingxing in front of her, her gaze carrying a hidden meaning.

"what happened?"

"Are you really that stupid or just pretending... I was there when Bronya left, but if you had been there too, she probably wouldn't have been so disappointed."

Seele sighed and shook her head.

"Although Bronya says it's fine, who knows how much the Star Core is controlling that High Guardian... I've tried to persuade her, but she's adamant, and there's nothing I can do. Besides, she said that if she doesn't come back..."

"Then we'll risk our lives to save her."

Stephen Chow smiled slightly and took over the conversation.

"Ha, well done, as expected of you, you thought exactly the same as me."

Hearing this, Seele nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't worry, Bronya will be fine. Although Starcore holds the title of Grand Guardian, the Silvermane Iron Guards have long harbored resentment towards it."

Bronya, on the other hand, is the commander who personally leads the Silvermane Guards in battle. If something were to happen to Bronya, not only us, but everyone in the Silvermane Guards would be outraged.

"With your words, I feel a little more at ease... *yawn*"

Hearing this, Seele finally relaxed, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense since Bronya left. People tend to get sleepy when they relax.

"Alright, you should go and get some rest. We still have a tough battle to fight later."

"Okay, I'll go to sleep now. Call me anytime if you need anything."

"OK."

Belloberg furnace core —

"What's the noise?"

The Silvermane Iron Guards, who were guarding the furnace core, were chatting when they suddenly heard the sound of machinery operating, and it was getting closer and closer.

"It seems to be coming from the hearth?"

"How is that possible? The furnace core elevator hasn't been used for many years."

However, before the Silvermane Iron Guards could finish speaking, the elevator had already arrived.

However, having been inactive for a long time, it stirred up a cloud of smoke and dust, causing the Silver Mane Iron Guards to retreat.

"Someone!"

Amidst the smoke and dust, someone spotted a figure and immediately shouted.

"Stop! Who is it!"

Several Silvermane Iron Guards drew their weapons, aimed them at the people in the smoke and dust, and shouted angrily.

"it's me."

A cold voice rang out, and the Silver Mane Iron Guards were first stunned, then overjoyed.

"That voice! It's Lady Bronya!"

"Lady Bronya, it's so good that you're alright."

The Silvermane Iron Guards' attitudes completely reversed, and they all surrounded Bronya, inquiring about her condition with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. The people in the lower district didn't do anything to me."

Bronya waved her hand, indicating that everyone could rest assured.

"The Guardian has been worried about you. She will be very happy to see you back."

"Is that so..."

Bronya couldn't help but smile when she heard that Cocolia was worried about her.

Sure enough, my mother still cares about me.

After bidding farewell to several Silvermane Iron Guards, Bronya left the Hearth and headed straight for Crepper Castle.

"Bronya! You're back! Where have you been? You've been gone for days without a word. Are you hungry? Are you hurt?"

Upon seeing Bronya, Cocolia hurried over to her, her eyes filled with worry.

"I'm fine, Mother. I'm sorry to have worried you."

Bronya felt a warmth in her heart and smiled at Cocolia.

"Because you mentioned earlier that you were going to hunt down those outsiders, I accidentally followed them and wandered into the lower levels..."

"So that's it."

Upon hearing the words "lower district," Cocolia's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

“You are right. In the lower zone, I witnessed firsthand that after those outsiders arrived, the creatures of the Rift attacked.”

However, those rift creatures seemed unable to control even the outsiders; they indiscriminately attacked towns in the lower zones, causing great chaos.

But regardless of whether those rift creatures were summoned by outsiders or followed them for some reason, I think we must capture them as soon as possible, otherwise the rifts in the lower levels will likely expand at an unimaginable rate.

After Bronya finished speaking, she secretly observed Cocolia's expression and glimpsed a hint of a successful conspiracy.

"As expected... it seems that, as Xing said, although the star core brought about the rift, it cannot be controlled. Otherwise, knowing that the rift in the lower zone has been destroyed, she would never have shown such an expression."

The thought that the Star Core was unable to control the lower zones immediately put Bronya's mind at ease.

What I need to do next is to take back as much power as possible to command the Silvermane Iron Guards.

“Very good, Bronya, you have not disappointed me. You have made the right choice. Those outsiders are the root of our planet’s scourge and must be eradicated.”

Cocolia smiled and nodded at Bronya.

“Mother, I request that as many Silvermane Iron Guards as possible be mobilized to lead them in capturing the outsiders from the lower districts. I will definitely succeed this time.”

Bronya said this with a face full of confidence.

Cocolia had no doubts, after all, she knew Bronya's personality best.

However, what Cocolia didn't know was that after going to the lower districts, her obedient daughter had become more cunning and clever than before, and was no longer the Bronya who was so loyal to the Great Guardian's creed.

“I will grant your request, Bronya. You were originally an officer of the Silvermane Guard and were deeply respected by them. Now you have withstood the deception of outsiders and witnessed their false veil firsthand. I believe you have grown even more. I am now at ease entrusting the entire Silvermane Guard to you.”

Cocolia said with a smile, but then changed the subject.

“However, I will not allow you to go to the lower levels again.”

"But...Mother, what about those outsiders?"

Bronya was somewhat anxious. If she didn't bring all the Silvermane Iron Guards to the underground area, it would be difficult to avoid a conflict between the two sides later.

Although they were officers themselves, the Silvermane Iron Guards could not disobey the orders of the Great Guardian.

However, Cocolia chuckled dismissively and waved at Bronya.

“I have my own way of dealing with them, so don’t worry. You must be exhausted after going through so much in the lower districts. Get some rest, Bronya, my dear daughter.”

I've come up with some great ideas that can be used on the Immortal Ship later, so stay tuned!

Chapter 53 Concealment and Disclosure

“Ah…”

As soon as she stepped out of Cripper Castle and turned a corner, Bronya clutched her chest, gasping for breath.

Although I had been trying to appear calm, this was, after all, the first time in my life I had lied to someone, and to my own mother no less...

Bronya felt her heart pounding wildly, making a constant 'thump-thump' sound.

Suddenly, an arm was placed on Bronya's shoulder, startling her so much that she almost screamed.

Bronya! You're back!

Bronya turned her head and saw that it was Pera looking at her with a surprised expression.

"Ah, it's Pera..."

Bronya let out a breath, nearly scared out of her wits.

"What's wrong? You look like you've been shaken."

Pera found it strange; it was the first time she had ever seen Bronya like this.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired from coming back from the lower level."

Bronya waved her hand.

"The lower level... By the way, how are those people doing?"

Pella's eyes were filled with complex emotions. At this moment, Pella was just like Bronya before. Although she didn't believe that outsiders would do such a thing, she had no choice but to believe it since the High Guardian had given the order.

Seeing that Pera wanted to know the truth but was also afraid to know, Bronya hesitated for a moment, then decided that she should continue to carry on with this lie.

Otherwise, if the plan were leaked along the way, it would all fall apart.

"As the High Guardian said, they are the culprits who brought forth the creatures from the rift."

"how come..."

Upon hearing this, Pera was struck dumb, her face turning deathly pale.

He couldn't believe it; those outsiders who helped the children and their families, and who had heart-to-heart talks with him and Bronya, were actually the culprits who attracted the Rift creatures.

Everything before was a disguise.

Seeing Pera's appearance, Bronya felt a pang of pity, but she could only bury the truth in her heart for the time being.

I'm sorry, Pera, you shouldn't have gotten involved in these things.

Bronya shook her head and could only offer a few words of comfort to the distraught Pella.

Next, I should talk to Hilva and Jepard.

Upon arriving at the mechanical house, Bronya knocked on the door.

"Who is it? It's not business hours now, come back later."

“Hilvah, it’s me, Bronya.”
