"I don't know."

Luo Bai did not tell Kokolia the truth, now is not the time.

Only when the time is ripe to tell her the truth is the most correct choice.

"...,"

Bronia breathed heavily.

"As Miss Xi'er said, the silver-maned iron guard has been ordered to withdraw to the ground, and here, I cannot act as an iron guard."

"Before we return to the ground, let's take a truce for the time being and join forces. I also want to know your true intentions through cooperation..."

"In order 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 this time, I always felt that something important was hidden. Bronia

spoke her reasons.

"Whether it is the city builder, the mother, or the silver-maned iron guard, there is always something unnatural."

"Therefore, I want to find the clues of loss through you—to solve my doubts."

She answered truthfully.

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

Luo Bai nodded and said.

"Okay, see you later."

After Bronia finished speaking, she followed Xi'er and turned and walked towards the distance.

"How's the chat?"

Danheng came over and asked.

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

Luo Bai answered truthfully.

"Did you say yes?"

March Seven asked softly, and Luo Bai nodded and repeated Bronia's words.

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

Danheng remembered that the place Xi'er said was the big mine mouth, but he had never been to the big mine mouth.

He could only turn his head to look at Sambo not far away, and let him help lead the way.

"Sorry, I'm still a little busy, and the fact of leading the way can't do anything."

Sambo casually made an excuse.

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

He has scooped up a lot of good things over the years, including underground maps.

"Yes."

Danheng reached out and took the map.

Then the three of them followed the map given by Sambo and came to the entrance of the big mine.

At the entrance, Ciel and Bronia were standing there, waiting for the arrival of the three.

"Hey, it's coming pretty fast."

Xi'er said with one hand crossed at the waist.

"Not very soon. Let's get down to business first, what does the geofire do in the mining area?

Danheng 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 took 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 many mining areas underground, but in recent years a type of erosion called rift has spread underground, and many mines have suffered and can no longer be mined.

Xi'er replied with her right hand lowered.

"The mining area we are going to has not been eroded by the rift. Where a group of homeless people whose hometown was swallowed by the rift made their home. "

It's nothing usually... But in the last two days, large-scale clashes have suddenly erupted between miners and homeless people, and the scene is quite ugly.

"The mine is the lifeline of the underground, and the supply of the ground must be guaranteed so that we can get the supplies on the ground from the transportation line."

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

"I was originally responsible for managing the security of the town, but the situation inside is tight, and I have to go to support."

She explained the matter of the large mine entrance.

"I see, let's go."

Danheng nodded and did not continue to ask.

"By the way, and you - just take this opportunity to let you see for yourself what the lower level has become of chaos now."

Ciel shifted her gaze to Bronia.

"I can't ask for it."

Bronia wants to solve the doubts in her heart and witness through her own eyes.

"Let's go."

Xi'er nodded, walked in front to lead the way, and walked towards the mouth of the mine.

Not long after, everyone entered the mouth of the mine and saw a group of wanderers.

"Huh? Isn't that the doctor's sister? March

Seven noticed Natasha in the crowd, who was seeing a homeless person.

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

Xi'er said to herself as she walked.

"Let's go find Natasha first."

At Luo Bai's suggestion, everyone walked towards Natasha's location.

"Nata! I didn't expect that even you came, where did Oleg go?

Ciel asked Natasha.

"Hey, Ciel, and... Sambo's guests. Looks like you already know each other.

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

"I haven't seen Oleg either. The miner said he took a group of people to the depths.

She answered Xi'er's question.

"Who are these people around?"

Luo Bai asked with some doubt.

When he first passed the plot, he didn't care too much, and the plot skipped a little quickly.

"They are the miners and the families of the mines, and they come here to talk to the provocateurs."

Natasha replied truthfully.

"In front of this was the gathering place of the homeless, and now the entrance has been sealed. I guess I am afraid of retaliation from the angry miners.

She said, subconsciously clasping her hands to her chest.

"How did you get to this point?"

Xi'er frowned and asked softly.

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

Natasha explained with a sigh.

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

Xi'er said in surprise.

"They don't want to make a noise. Most of the mining areas have been infested with rifts, and many have lost their jobs. If this news spreads, I am afraid that the miners will not squeeze their heads, how can they be loud.

Natasha couldn't help but shake her head when she said this, and then continued to say softly.

"But the mine team can't hide the wanderers here, after all, their eyes are not blind."

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

She sighed again.

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

Her gaze swept over everyone and asked the doubts in her heart.

"That's not their intention, they asked Oleg, and I brought them."

Xi'er answered her doubts, and then turned her head to look at Luo Bai and his group.

"Since you have something to ask for, it's not too much to help, right?"

“... Sounds so utilitarian.

March Seven complained with both hands.

"Equivalent exchange, which makes sense."

Luo Bai nodded and agreed.

"Okay, let's go."

Xi'er nodded, turned and walked in front to lead the way, heading deeper into the mine.
