"The Builders have said that the selection of the Guardian's successor will take place throughout Beloberg, and that the process can be as short as a few years or as long as a few decades."

"During this time, every child in the upper and lower urban areas who reaches the grade level will be tested, and in the end, only one child who is eligible will be selected."

"I'm like... It was here that she was chosen, and then she was brought to the ground....."

Bronya's speech about the selection mechanism of the heir of the Great Guardian instantly caused the other two present to fall into deep thought.

"The children in the orphanage always come and go... I really didn't expect that there would be a future great guardian among us! Does Natasha know about this? Could it be that she has been hiding it..."

, finally finishing the sudden information today, Ciel spoke in surprise.

Hearing Ciel's suspicions, Bronya shook her head and gave a negative answer.

"I don't think she knows about it. The selection of the heirs of the Guardians is absolutely confidential, and the chosen children must say goodbye to the past completely.

"That's why I'm the daughter of Cocoria, and I have no identity other than the next Guardian. But, I'm too far off..."

As she spoke, thinking of something sad, Bronya lowered her head in a lonely manner, the corners of her eyes were red, and a layer of fog was covered in her eyes.

"Every day, I witness the warriors of the Silvermane Iron Guard die in the Elder Realm, but I have never been able to make up my mind to change my mother's mind."

Raising her head, Bronya turned, her gaze looking into the dimly lit Rivet Town.

"I knew that the lower city had been suffering all the time, but I couldn't help it. My former home has become peaceful, but I'm still completely in the dark..."

"In the end, I can't protect anything. Why was I chosen, how could I be competent....."

Lowering her head again, Bronya's voice was already choked.

"Hey—have you said enough!"

Listening to the angry shouts from the side, Bronya turned her head to look at Ci'er who was shouting angrily with a dull expression.

"Crying and chirping, it's noisy!"

Slowly lowering her head, Bronya didn't dare to look into Ciel's angry eyes.

"What? A few words of self-touched thinking that I would sympathize with you? You can hide in the palace and think nonsense, and you don't need to gamble with your life when you go to the front, but what about the people in the lower city?

"It's a blessing to be alive and not!" Although Qin Huairen did have great ambitions to abolish most of the power of Earth Fire, he did make life better in Xiacheng.

"What about you! What did the same Uptown do? Outsiders have helped us, what have you done? Blockade of the upper and lower districts?

Looking at Bronya, who was already stunned in front of her, Ci'er softened her tone slightly.

"[Even if you are only a half glimmer of light, you must illuminate others] ,—— this sentence is said by yourself. Don't you want to protect everyone? Isn't there anything more important for you to do than to cry here?

For a moment, Bronya felt something open in her heart.

"It's true that self-sentimentality doesn't solve any problems."

Taking a deep breath, Bronya calmed herself.

"Thank you, Ciel. Usually when I get caught up in negative thoughts, there is always a comforting emotion next to me; No one has ever dared to wake me up like you.

With a look of understanding and gratitude in her eyes, Bronya solemnly thanked herself.

"Humph! I won't be appeased, but it's okay to wake you up a few times.

With a subtle smile, Ciel reached out and patted Bronya on the shoulder in encouragement.

"I knew at a glance that the burden in your heart was too heavy. Why did you pull yourself out and force yourself to that point? "

Being................."

Star smiled, as he stood aside, with a crumpty smile on his face.

These two guys....... Why does it suddenly look so good?

Without saying a word, the star slowly took a few steps back, and continued to appreciate the distance.

At this moment, the phone in Cier's pocket suddenly rang.

"Hey, it's Oleg Chief, what's the matter?"

Picking up the phone, Xi'er said hello with great ease.

"Xi'er, come back quickly, something big is wrong!"

Ciel was very relaxed now, but Oleg on the other side of the phone was much more excited.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

Oleg, who has always been calm, showed such an anxious mood now, and Xi'er's heart also lifted.

At that time, even when the wanderer and the earth fire fought, Oleg did not react so much, which shows the seriousness of this matter.

"All the soldiers of the Steel Fortress are on the move, and there is a high probability that they will start a war against the Upper City of Beloberg!"

"What the hell!"

"What did you say?"

"Huh?"

Listening to Oleg's anxious voice from the phone, Xi'er was instantly surprised.

"Boss, are you really sure about this? Okay, Qin Huairen, why did that guy suddenly start a war?

Thinking that it might be because she was overly relaxed, causing her auditory hallucinations, Ciel spoke again to Oleg to assure him of the accuracy of the matter.

"The information is very reliable, and the recent movements of the Steel Fortress are all too obvious. This is a long story, you guys hurry back first, we need to discuss how to deal with this matter.

Xi'er, whose face instantly deteriorated, responded and hung up the phone directly.

"Xi'er, what's the situation?"

Bronya, who noticed that Cier's expression didn't seem to be quite right, asked worriedly.

"Qin Huairen is going to start a war, time is urgent, let's go back quickly!"

"Boss! Here we go!

With Xi'er's shouts and very hurried footsteps, the three of them quickly came to the long-awaited Oleg, Danheng and the others who had been waiting for a long time.

"You're back."

Looking at the three people in front of him, who were already a little out of breath due to the strenuous exercise, Oleg immediately began to tell the story of the incident.

"This matter is almost like this, Qin Huairen........."

"So we must now step up our operation to return to Shangcheng, once the war starts, it will be more difficult for us to get in touch with the star core."

Listening to Oleg's description of this matter, Danheng clasped his hands in front of his chest and said with a calm face.

"Chief Oleg, I wonder if there is any way to pass between the upper and lower cities?"
