Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

“No… empty?” Seele frowned.

Yan, who was riding on the back of the Rift Creature and relentlessly swinging his hammer, couldn't help but laugh:

"Ha, that's hilarious! Everywhere we go, someone gets supplies beforehand, right? I saw that coming! Hahahaha!!"

"..."

……

Chapter 78 I... I can't do anything.

"Let's look around some more; the boxes here are too scattered," Seele sighed.

We only came to Rivet Town to collect three batches of supplies, but two of them were snapped up by others.

If it's somewhere else, then forget it.

But this is a rift!

What are these people up to? Are they deliberately choosing to rush into the Rift today and go against them?

not far away.

Yan remained mounted on the enormous, frost-giant-like creature that had cleaved the realm, and continued his eloquent discourse:

In my humble opinion, I'm afraid it's...

Bronya quietly interrupted Yan's spellcasting:

"Executive, don't be so pessimistic. Maybe no one will come to collect it ahead of time this time."

Seele and Bronya looked around, continuing their search for clues about the supplies.

It's quiet here now. The last rift creature that was wandering nearby was brutally killed by Yan.

Night fell slowly.

Under the warm light, only the sounds of the two searching could be heard.

As she searched, Bronya's movements became slower and slower.

Finally, he stood there, lost in thought.

"Hmm?" Seele looked up and asked.

"what happened to you?"

Bronya gazed at her surroundings, remained silent for a moment, and then murmured:

“This building, and these children’s play equipment… I feel like I’ve seen it before.”

Seele put down what she was holding and immediately smiled:

"Huh? Come on, the upper and lower levels have been sealed off for over ten years, and not a single Silvermane Iron Guard has come down. If a young lady like you were to grace the underground with your presence, that would be big news."

She continued:

"Unless, it was before that! Wait... that's impossible, right?!"

Bronya nodded in deep agreement:

"Hmm, that's a possibility... and that's the only way to explain it... but why is my memory so blurry?"

She looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar scenery and said wistfully:

"Let me take another look."

At this time.

Not far away.

Yan waved his hands happily:

"Sir! Look what I found! Hahahaha!!"

Amidst the laughter, Bronya only saw Yan Huan holding up a small object.

The two walked up to Yan Huan and then they could see what it was.

"What is this... a brooch?" Bronya asked uncertainly.

Seele looked at the object clearly and immediately understood:

"Oh, this! I remember now, Natasha often taught us crafts, this must be one of the children's masterpieces!"

"Come, come, come." Yan handed the brooch to the two of them. "Even if we can't find supplies, bringing some souvenirs means our trip wasn't in vain!"

Seele took it and handed it to Bronya:

"Yan Huan is right. Let's keep this for Bronya as a souvenir from our trip to the lower district."

Bronya took it in a daze, and couldn't help but worry:

"But this was made with great effort by someone else, wasn't it? It's unacceptable to just take it like this..."

"You're so inflexible. Just accept it when I tell you to," Seele scolded.

Now, influenced by Yan, Xier has also given up hope of finding alcohol.

It would be better to listen to him and bring something else back.

They traveled all the way to the dangerous Rift, bringing Eric a steel plate and bandages, along with 200 Winter City Shields. They also shared half of the painkillers with Clara. They haven't found any alcohol yet, and if they don't get any, it would be a huge loss not to bring something else.

Bronya gazed at Seele's expression and couldn't help but sigh:

"Why are you becoming as pessimistic as the CEO?"

Seele shrugged:

"This is called cutting your losses in time."

Soon, Yan's shouts rang out again.

"Hiss, wait? There's another box here, holy crap, holy crap?!"

Seele led Bronya over and asked:

"What the hell... Oh my god!"

Following Xi'er's gaze, Yan opened a box in the corner, which was filled with neatly arranged, undamaged bottles of alcohol.

Bronya was also somewhat surprised, but still reminded her:

"It's best to check the expiration date of alcohol; it's ineffective once it's expired."

Seele nodded:

"Alright, let's take out a few bottles and have a look."

She reached in and suddenly felt something round and smooth at the bottom, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Ah? What is this?"

When she pulled out the item, the three of them immediately realized that it was a perfectly round crystal ball.

The crystal ball is pure white, and inside there is a cartoon image of a little white eagle swooping down on a little white rabbit.

Bronya was stunned.

"This is……"

"This looks like... something from when I was a kid."

Seele looked at her in shock:

"You...you when you were little?! Are you sure?"

Yan spoke up:

"Is it possible that they're just the same model?!"

Bronya shook her head, took the crystal ball, and felt a deep sense of melancholy.

"No, I remember now."

Her voice was hoarse:

“I used to live here, right before the Builders took me away and Lady Cocolia adopted me—I lived here, I…I am from the Lower District.”

Her words made Seele's eyes widen in disbelief.

Bronya is from the Lower District? Is that true?

Seele exclaimed in shock:

"You really are... from the Lower District? No, wait, you were originally the adopted daughter of that Great Guardian, not his biological daughter?!"

Bronya nodded:

“Yes, but I am now the designated successor of the Builders. In the future, I will become the guardian who leads Beloborg.”

“Huh?” Seele exclaimed in disbelief.

Mr. Yan was immediately delighted. He sat down next to the firecrackers, took out a lighter, and lit them one by one.

Suddenly, a burst of firecrackers went off behind them, creating an extremely lively atmosphere.

"Hey, what a stroke of luck! Seele, I knew you had the makings of an emperor! The next Grand Guardian will live in the same orphanage as you, and that'll definitely boost your background!"

Then countless fireworks burst in the sky, and Seele, bathed in the colorful fireworks, was still in a daze.

Bronya covered her forehead, the glow of the fireworks reflecting on her cheeks:

"Why, why did it take me so long to remember? My childhood memories are so blurry..."

“The builders said that the selection of the guardian’s successor will take place throughout the entire Beloborg, a process that could take anywhere from a few years to several decades.”

"During this period, every child of the appropriate age in both the upper and lower grades will be tested, and only one child will be selected in the end."

The silver-haired girl looked around at the scene and sighed:

"I think... I was chosen here, and then brought to the surface..."

Seele, having recovered her senses, stroked her chin and asked in confusion:
