"Bronya? You're back. I heard from Jepard that you went with the outsiders to the streets that were being corrupted by the rift? Are you alright?"
Hiluva's voice grew louder as she approached, and then she opened the shop door.
As Cocolia's former best friend, Sylva often played with Bronya when she was a child, so to Bronya, Sylva was like an aunt.
Furthermore, since Shiluva does not currently hold any political position, Bronya trusts Shiluva implicitly in all aspects.
It's not that I don't trust Pella, it's just that as an intelligence officer for the Silvermane Guard, Pella has to deal with high-ranking officials and even the Grand Wardens every day. Keeping Pella in such an anxious state makes it less likely to arouse suspicion.
"I'm fine. I came here today because I have something I want to discuss with you."
Bronya nodded to Sylva.
"Alright, come in and talk."
Hiluva sensed that things might not be so simple, because ever since she had fallen out with Cocolia, she had no access to matters at the higher levels.
Inside the perpetual motion machine house, Bronya recounted the events in detail to Hilva, who listened with repeated exclamations of amazement.
"So that's how it is. I knew those outsiders didn't seem like bad people. It was Cocolia causing trouble again..."
Hiluva was slightly troubled, but she also understood why Cocolia had undergone such a drastic change.
"Mother has been bewitched by the Star Core. I believe that as long as the Star Core is destroyed, she will return to the way she was before."
Bronya's firm tone left Hilva stunned.
"Sigh, no wonder. I told Cocolia about the Star Core a long time ago... It seems that it was already... You made the right decision to go to the Lower Zone."
Looking at Bronya, who had grown considerably, Sylva smiled.
Because of her previous falling out with Cocolia, Bronya has had very little contact with her since then.
But to her surprise, Bronya came to her first for such an important matter. It turned out that she had always been so important to Bronya, which warmed her heart.
“After the Rift creatures attacked Beloborg, Jepard came to me to complain. He always felt that there must be some misunderstanding, but unfortunately he was caught in the middle and couldn’t do either side.”
Hiluva shook her head. This was the first time she had ever seen her younger brother come to her with such a worried look on his face.
"Hehe, speaking of which, when I received the order that day and personally led the team to capture them, Jepard was the first to stand up and persuade me."
"That kid... he's so stubborn. He's convinced those guys are good people, so even if the Great Guardian gives the order, although he'll carry it out, he'll still firmly believe in his heart that they're good people. That's why he felt so guilty that day."
Hiluva smiled helplessly.
Bronya couldn't help but chuckle when she thought about that day.
At that time, I had clearly made up my mind to obey my mother's orders, but in the end, Xing easily got the better of me.
"I wonder what they're doing now..."
Bronya picked up her teacup and took a sip. Even though she had only been gone a short while, she found herself missing her days in the lower district.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you make that face. Looks like you're having a pretty good time in the lower levels."
Seeing Bronya's expression, Shiluva laughed.
"Huh, is it that obvious?"
Bronya felt a little embarrassed, wondering when she had become so bad at controlling her emotions.
"Although your expression didn't show it, your eyes don't lie. I could see the happiness in your eyes whenever we talked about things in the lower districts."
"That wouldn't be good... What if Mother sees us..."
Bronya quickly patted her face, regaining her usual aloof expression.
dong dong dong.
There was a rapid knock on the door.
"At this rate, this kid's back pretty quickly."
Hiluva got up and opened the door, and standing outside was Jepard.
"Sister, Lady Bronya, it's so good that you're alright."
Jepard nodded to Hilva, then walked in and gave Bronya a slight bow.
“Jepard, there’s no need to be so formal in private. Come and sit down.”
Bronya waved to Jepard.
"it is good."
Jepard nodded and sat down at the table.
Hiluva looked outside the door, saw that no one was around, and then locked the door from the inside.
"So, everyone's here. Bronya, what are you planning to do next?"
After the three of them sat down, Hiluva asked with a serious expression.
"Next, the lower district will launch a counterattack against the upper district. I'm going to have the Silvermane Iron Guards put on a show for me."
Bronya looked at the Landau siblings, who were speechless with surprise, with a confident smile on her face.
Chapter 54 Treasure Hunt and Hide-and-Seek
Lower area.
In a corner of a mine, Qiong was squatting and staring at a small gadget in front of him.
"What is this? It feels like high-tech."
"Beep~ Beep~ Searching for possible users, beep~ Voiceprint detected, detecting the identity information corresponding to the voiceprint... Oh my god, it's an alien."
"Wow, it actually knows I'm an alien!"
Qiong was shocked; this little thing seemed to have something special about it.
"Beep~ Hello, I am [Home Object Finder, Richard, Version 0.63, Expert Edition, Annual Deluxe Edition], you can also call me by my nickname [Cha Bao]."
"A lost object device? A treasure detector? Interesting."
Qiong stared at Cha Bao, looking him up and down.
"Beep~ Voiceprint owner's call for ChaBao detected. Voiceprint is now bound and personalized voice service has been customized. ChaBao, a home AI-powered item finder, will serve you wholeheartedly!"
Hearing the sound, Zhou Xingxing walked over. Just now, Qiong said she was bored and wanted him to accompany her to look for live gem lizards and cave salamanders.
Unexpectedly, after only a short time away, instead of finding the Jewel Lizard and the Cave Salamander, Qiong found a treasure.
"Girl, take my advice and throw this thing away right now."
Stephen Chow gets a headache as soon as he sees Cha Bo; this thing is too noisy.
"Why are you throwing it away? It looks usable. Let me play with it for a bit. What can you possibly find?"
However, Qiong ignored all advice and instead told Cha Bao to look for any dropped Winter City Shields.
Subsequently, Qiong actually found a lost wallet with more than a dozen Winter City Shields under Cha Bao's guidance.
"Look! It's real! I'm not going to throw it away!"
Qiong immediately perked up; it seemed that Cha Bao wasn't lying.
Seeing how much fun Qiong was having, Zhou Xingxing could only shrug helplessly. It seemed there was no way to persuade him otherwise; as long as it didn't bother him, it was fine.
"Beep beep~ Beep beep~ There's nothing you can't find on ChaBao."
"Wow, it's just a lost item device, but it's making quite a fuss about it."
"Don't underestimate Cha Bao, Cha Bao can find anything!"
Seeing Cha Bao's arrogance, Qiong suddenly had a good idea and hurriedly took Cha Bao to Panyan Town.
Where Qiong ran, passersby could only hear a series of beeping sounds.
"Hmph, trying to play hide-and-seek with Hook again? Although the Sky Honor Team members hid very well last time, that was just hiding. It will be very difficult for them to find us."
When Qiong arrived at the square in Rocky Town, Hook and a group of mole gang members were preparing to play hide-and-seek as usual.
But just as I was about to start, I saw Qiong running over.
“This time it’s different. I’m going to find you all.”
Qiong smiled smugly, hands on his hips, seemingly oblivious to the existence of any opponent.
"Beep~ Hide and seek mode activated, mode adjusted to the level of no escape after wings are removed."
"Huh, what's this?"
Hook looked at the strange machine floating in the air beside him with a puzzled expression.
"Beep~ ChaBao isn't a thing! ChaBao is a [home-use item finder, ...]"
Qiong saw that Cha Bao was about to let something slip, so she slapped him so hard he spun him around 360 degrees.
"Alright, enough talk. You guys go hide. I'm going to show you what I'm capable of."
"I didn't expect that the honorary team members of Qiong would actually volunteer to be the ghosts. In that case, don't blame us for hiding too well later."
Hook was all smiles. As the leader, he was always the one to be "it" in the first game of hide-and-seek every day, but he never expected that such a sucker would come knocking on his door today.
"The Mole Party! Get out of here!"
After saying that, Hook and the mole gang scattered in all directions.
Qiong, with her back to everyone, gradually curved a smile into a smirk.
"3...2...1! Search for treasure, start the search!"
Without saying a word, Qiong handed it over to Cha Bao. After all, these little guys were really good at hiding. Although they weren't as good at hiding as she was, they were still a little bit hard to find.
"Beep beep beep~ Hides detected 213 meters ahead, Julian."
Qiong followed the directions triumphantly to a place where items were piled up. She opened one of the boxes, and inside was Julian.
"Hey! How come you're so fast! I just heard your footsteps coming!"
Julian looked indignant because he had been caught after only one minute, and he would be the one to be the "ghost" in the next round.
"This is my strength!"
Qiong stood with her hands on her hips, looking smug.
"Cha Bao, next."
