Collapsing Star Railroad: Obtain Herrscher power at the beginning

After confirming the list of supplies with Natasha, the three set off towards Rivet Town.

Along the way, Ciel and Bronia were talking to each other, and it was very interesting to scare back and forth.

Luo Bai used to be particularly fond of lilies, even now.

Therefore, he did not talk much along the way, so that the two could increase their relationship.

Not long after, under Xi'er's lead, Rivet Town was already close at hand.

"Here we are, this is Rivet Town... Alas, the familiar scenery..."

Xi'er couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's go, try to be as light as possible. I haven't been back for a long time, and I'm afraid there are a lot of monsters in it, which we can't deal with.

She reminded with a frown.

"There's nothing to see here... Find a high spot to watch. "

It's pretty high there."

Luo Bai stretched out his finger to the bridge not far away, raised his hand and summoned the portal in front of him.

"Go through my portal."

Passing through the portal saves a lot of effort and prevents monsters from finding it.

Bronia and Ciel nodded without refusing and walked into the portal.

When I came out, I was already standing on the bridge, and I could see all kinds of buildings.

"Over there, the house on the hillside in the distance is Natasha's former orphanage."

Xi'er stretched out her finger into the distance.

"After Uncle Oleg picked me up, he sent me there. I spent most of my childhood in an orphanage.

"The carefree days of my childhood, I really miss it now..."

she couldn't help but sigh.

Bronia

stared at the orphanage without speaking, which surprised Xi'er.

"Why don't you talk? Dumb? Wasn't it quite a lot to say before?

She complained habitually.

"It's okay, I just... It feels a little familiar, don't worry about me.

Bronia shook her head and said.

“... Kook.

Xi'er cut and said.

"You guys look down and see those cluttered stalls? It was the market square in Rivet Town, where the supplies Natasha wanted were probably piled up. Watch out for monsters and keep going.

After she said that, she continued to walk in front to lead the way, followed by Bronia and Luo Bai.

Along the way they encounter various monsters, but none of them bother.

"This is... Restaurant?

Passing by a badly damaged restaurant, Bronia asked with some uncertainty.

"If you remember correctly, it seems to be one of the best in town. Nata occasionally brings well-behaved children over to improve her diet.

Xi'er nodded and replied.

"Did she bring you here?"

Bronia asked again.

"Am I like that weird kid who behaves well? Of course not.

Xi'er replied with a pout.

"I think so."

Bronia nodded in agreement, which immediately attracted Xi'er's dissatisfaction.

Immediately after that, every time the two passed a building, they had to scare like this for a while.

Luo Bai enjoyed listening to it incomparably, and did not suspect that the two of them were arguing at all.

If Danheng were here, it would probably be unbearable to be noisy, right?

Along the way, Luo Bai saw all kinds of equipment, which was very well maintained by Pascal, and looked forward to people returning to the town.

Of course, Ciel and Bronia didn't know that Pascal existed.

"There are a lot of boxes piled up over there, and we might have what we're looking for."

Xi'er looked around and found that there were several rift creatures around.

"Leave it to me."

Luo Bai didn't want to waste time on the monster and killed it in seconds with the Spear of the Sky.

"Damn, why is it all empty? Do monsters still rummage through boxes? Ciel

walked over to the pile of boxes and opened them, finding them empty.

"Rift creatures don't need human supplies, and they won't grab things like that... Courtesy.

Bronia agreed with Xi'er's words, and her heart was also very puzzled.

"You mean, someone got ahead of us? Impossible.

Xi'er couldn't believe that someone in such a dangerous place would really dare to come in.

"Just guessing - look, there are still traces of stampede on the ground here."

Bronia stretched out her finger to the marks on the ground.

"The smell of the earth is still fresh, and the other party should not have been gone for too long."

Xi'er picked up the dirt on the ground and sniffed it, analyzing it based on her own experience.

"Go, even if you turn the market upside down, you have to find out things."

Not long after leaving, he met a little boy who seemed to be an acquaintance of Xi'er.

“... Eric?

Xi'er was stunned and said with some surprise.

"Hey, little ghost! How did you run to such a dangerous place alone?

"Hee, Xi'er? You, can you control me! It doesn't matter to you where I go!

Eric said stubbornly.

"It turns out that you hid all the supplies, no wonder I didn't find anything."

She noticed a pile of supplies behind Eric, bundled together by Eric.

"But what are you going to do if we don't solve the wandering monsters? Is a person shivering while hiding in a corner?

"Who, who wants you to be nosy?" I could have escaped right away, and I didn't need the help of you adults!"

Eric retorted duplicitously.

"Still so tough-mouthed, then tell me, how do you plan to take away these large bundles of steel plates in front of many monsters?"

Xi'er said with disdain.

"This, this..."

Eric was speechless.

"Okay, don't embarrass him."

Luo Bai smiled and looked down at the little boy, and asked softly in a soft tone.

"Can you share some supplies for my brother? My brother needs these supplies for urgent use.

"You don't have to be polite with him, this little devil is a famous furry thief."

Xi'er first turned her head to look at Luo Bai, and then turned her head to look at Eric.

"If I'm not mistaken, your dress was stolen from other children, right?"

Her tone was noticeably rushed.

"That, that's..."

Eric understood that what Ciel said was the truth, and he couldn't say it for a long time.

"Besides, what's the use of asking for steel plates and gauze? We're going to save people with it.

Xi'er said very seriously.

“... Two hundred...... Two hundred winter shields...,"

Eric said after a moment of silence.

"Huh?"

Xi'er was obviously stunned.

“... Did I hear you right? You actually want to negotiate terms with us?

"Two hundred winter shields is not much, but I don't have a wallet with me."

Bronia was forcibly taken underground, and there was no time to bring her wallet.

"Are you really going to give him money?" I told you that this is his usual trick-"

Xi'er hurriedly spoke up to stop it.

"It's not, it's different! I need money because daddy he..."

Eric didn't lie this time, he really needed a sum of money, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the risk and ran here alone.

"Move your dad out again as a shield... If you let him know about the broken things you did in private, you might not have good fruit to eat.

Xi'er retorted unceremoniously.

"Whew... Whew..."

As a result, Eric cried directly after hearing this, lowering his head and sobbing softly.

"Ciel! Enough, say no more. Bronia

really couldn't listen anymore, and loudly reprimanded Xi'er, making Xi'er very unhappy, but did not say anything to refute it.
