"I don't know. "

Lobai didn't tell Kocolia the truth, and now is not the time.

Only when the time is right to tell her the truth is the right choice.

Bronya's breath froze.

"As Miss Ciel said, the Silvermane Iron Guard has been ordered to retreat to the ground, and I cannot act as an Iron Guard here.

"Before we return to the earth, let's put aside a truce and work together. I also want to know your true intentions through cooperation..."

"To convince you, I can also answer all your questions.

She said with her hands on her chest.

"I don't have anything to ask.

Luo Bai shook his head and said.

"It's just that I'm a little curious, why are you willing to cooperate with us?"

"Actually... All the while, I always felt like something important was being hidden.

Bronya gave her reasons.

"Whether it's the actions of the Builders, the Mother, or the Silvermane Guard, there's always something unnatural.

"Therefore, I want to find the lost clue through you—to solve my doubts.

She replied truthfully.

"I see. So be it, we'll come back to you later.

Luo Bai nodded and said.

"Okay, see you later.

Bronya finished and turned with Ciel and walked into the distance.

"How's the chat?"

Dan Heng walked over and asked.

"She said she had a truce before leaving the underground and wanted to join forces with us.

Luo Bai replied truthfully.

"Did you agree?"

asked March Seven softly, and Luo Bai nodded, repeating Bronya's words.

"In that case, so be it. It's time to go to the "Earth Fire", let's go.

Dan Heng remembered that the place Xi'er said was the big mine, but he hadn't been to the big mine.

I could only turn my head to look at Sambo not far away, and ask him to help lead the way.

"Sorry, but I've got a little stuff to do, and the fact that I'm leading the way can't do anything.

Sambo casually made an excuse.

"But I can give you a map, and you just follow it. "

He's scoured a lot of good things over the years, including maps underground.

"Yes.

Danheng stretched out his hand and took the map.

Immediately after that, the three of them followed the map given by Sambo and came to the entrance of the big mine.

At the entrance, Ciel and Bronya stood waiting for the three of them to arrive.

"Hey, it's coming fast.

Ciel said with one hand on her hip.

"It's not very fast. Let's get down to business first, what is Earth Fire doing in the mining area?"

Dan Heng asked the doubts in his heart.

The underground route was more complicated than expected, and even with the map given by Sambo, the three of them had to go around for a while to find the entrance to the big mine.

"Didn't I say that? To make a long story short: there used to be a lot of mining underground, but in recent years an erosion called Rift has spread underground, and many mines have suffered and can no longer be mined.

Ciel replied with her right hand down.

"The mining area we're going to hasn't been eroded by the Rift. Where did a group of wanderers whose homes had been swallowed up by the Boundary make their home? "

Usually nothing... But in the last two days, large-scale clashes have suddenly erupted between miners and vagrants, and the scene is quite ugly.

"The mine is the lifeline of the underground, and we have to ensure the supply of the marrow so that we can get the supplies rationed on the ground from the transportation line.

In order to calm the gaffe, the leader of Oleg rushed into the mine with the "earth fire".

"I'm supposed to be in charge of policing the town, but the situation inside is tight, and I have to go to help.

She explained the matter of the big mine.

"I see, let's go.

Dan Heng nodded and did not continue to ask.

"By the way, and you—I'm taking this opportunity to let you see for yourself what the lower districts are like now.

Ciel turned her gaze to Bronya.

"I can't ask for it.

Bronya wanted to solve the doubts in her heart and witness through her own eyes.

"Let's go.

Ciel nodded and walked ahead to lead the way, heading towards the mouth of the big mine.

Not long after, the group entered the mouth of the large mine and met a group of wanderers.

"Huh, isn't that the doctor's sister?"

March Seven noticed Natasha in the crowd, who was treating the wanderer.

"Natasha is here... It seems that the situation is more serious than expected.

Ciel muttered to herself as she walked.

"Let's go and ask Natasha first.

At Lobe's suggestion, the crowd walked towards Natasha's location.

"Nata, I didn't expect you to come, where did Oleg go?"

asked Ciel to Natasha.

"Hey Ciel, and... Sambo's guests. Looks like you've already met.

Natasha, who heard the voice, turned around and saw Luo Bai and his party.

"I didn't see Oleg either. The miners said he had taken a group of people into the depths.

She answered Ciel's question.

"Who are these people around?"

Luo Bai asked with some confusion.

He didn't pay much attention to the plot when he first went over, and the plot skipped a little fast.

"They are the miners and the families of the mines, and they have come here to ask the troublemakers for explanations.

Natasha replied truthfully.

"In front of this was a gathering place for wanderers, and now the entrance has been sealed. I guess it's because I'm afraid of the retaliation of the angry miners.

She said with her hands on her chest subconsciously.

"How did it get to this point?" asked

Ciel, frowning and whispering.

"It is said that a vein of 'earth marrow' has been discovered, and the reserves are amazing... Preliminary estimates suggest that it is probably the largest vein discovered in the last three decades.

Natasha sighed and explained.

"Really, fake, such a big news, why haven't I heard a word?" said

Ciel in surprise.

"They don't want to make a noise. Most of the mines have been infested by the Rift, and many people have lost their jobs. If this news spreads, I'm afraid that not the miners will be squeezed out, how can it be publicized.

Natasha couldn't help but shake her head at this point, and then continued to speak softly.

"But the mining team can't hide the wanderers here, after all, they are not blind. "

There are ruffians who want to make a fortune and ask the mining team for hush money... This violates their bottom line, and the result is a conflict.

She sighed again.

"Are you here to help resolve the conflict in the mining area?" she

glanced over the crowd and asked the doubts in her heart.

"That's not what they intended, they asked Oleg, so I brought them.

Ci'er answered her doubts, and then turned her head to look at Luo Bai and the others.

"Since you have something to ask for, isn't it too much to help?"

Sounds like we're so utilitarian.

March 7 complained with two hands.

"Equivalent exchange, that's reasonable.

Luo Bai nodded and agreed.

"Okay, let's go.

Ciel nodded, turned and walked ahead to lead the way, heading deeper into the mine.
