Star Iron: The Past and Present Life of the Gender-Swapped Dragon Lord

Hearing this question, which he had encountered countless times on the road, Danheng helplessly rubbed his forehead and explained.

"Station Master Estella, please introduce yourself."

"My name is Danheng, Dan as in painting and Heng as in jade balance."

Pointing to Dan Heng, who had the same expression, she said, "His name is Dan Heng, the same Dan as in 'perseverance,' but Heng as in 'perseverance.'"

"First of all, we're not siblings, we're not related by blood at all. If I had to say..."

"They should be considered the same person..."

Estelle: ...

Qiong:?

March 7:?

Dan Heng:......

"Let's not talk about that for now. What's the current situation on the space station?"

Clearly not wanting to continue the topic, Dan Heng asked.

Estella glanced at Shuangdan and took over the conversation.

"The situation is currently under control. The damage to the security system was minor; the intruders only rewrote a small portion of the core data. Therefore, it is easy to repair."

"The potential danger lies with the crew... They trusted Lady Black Tower implicitly and never imagined the space station would be suddenly attacked by the Legion. Compared to physical injuries, the psychological fear is far more terrifying..."

Dan Heng nodded to himself from behind, thinking to himself that as expected of Aistar, anyone who can be a stationmaster must have some skills.

Someone like her who only knows how to eat, drink, and sleep won't do.

Himeko: "Let's go talk to the crew on the space station. In this situation, nobody wants any more accidents to happen inside the space station. Have you tried contacting the Black Tower?"

Estelle: "I sent countless emails, but they all went unanswered. Lady Himeko knows her; the space station is just a warehouse for her followers and artifacts, and she doesn't care about it at all."

Estella's voice was somewhat helpless, with a hint of complaint.

Himeko nodded in agreement.

“I knew it… It’s okay, I’ll also send a message to the Black Tower to say that we’ve brought all the artifacts she wanted. At least this one still holds some appeal for her.”

"That would be a great help."

Estelle's expression relaxed, and she went back to handling her work.

Qiong originally wanted to ask Estella some questions, but seeing that Estella was busy again, she was too embarrassed to ask.

So the people on the Starry Sky Train dispersed to talk to the staff at the space station.

What kind of one-on-one psychological counseling service?

Danheng and Qiong came to the two little ones' side. Danheng looked at the little girl who was wailing and raised an eyebrow.

I vaguely remember her, I think her name was... Wen Shiling.

This is Xing Tieliben! Someone who deserves the prestigious title of "father".

Seeing Qiong looking somewhat bewildered, Danheng nudged Qiong beside him with his elbow.

The child's clear gaze fell upon Danheng, almost choking Danheng's prepared words.

"Um... well, why don't you think it's possible for that boy to win over that girl?"

Qiong was initially unsure of what to choose, but seeing the confident look on the young male clerk's face, she hesitantly made her decision.

"It might work?"

Wen Shiling was still upset because the gift she gave to Bo Shao was in a cabin where monsters still roamed. Upon hearing this, Adler put his hands on his hips and confidently offered words of comfort.

Qiong thought that Adler's momentum was in the bag.

But his next words completely surprised him.

"Let me tell you, there are dozens of different kinds of monsters attacking the space station this time, including some new creations that aren't even listed in the station's existing genealogy—"

Qiong was deeply shocked, his mouth agape, unable to say anything.

Not buddy! ?

Is this how you comfort girls?

I'm only a few hours old and I can already sense the atmosphere better than you.

As expected, Wen Shiling cried even harder upon hearing Adler's words.

"Ugh, you're so annoying! I don't want to hear any of that! Waaah!"

Qiong originally thought that was enough, but she didn't expect there to be another expert.

"Oh dear, how old are you? You're still like a little kid."

"Can you stop crying? I'll dress up as a monster for you, okay?"

Danheng: Pfft~

Qiong:?

Even though things are already like this, why are you still trying to provoke her?

Adler: "Ughh ...

Wen Shiling: "Wow..."

The entire space station was filled with Wen Shiling's heartbreaking wailing.

The newborn Qiong was greatly shocked. His brain, which was not functioning at all, could not understand the situation in front of him, but he felt that something was wrong.

Qiong couldn't understand it for a moment, so she went up to ask.

Before he could even say a word after walking up to Adler, the other man gave him a look that seemed to have seen a lot in his life.

"Do not ask……"

You'll understand when you reach my age.

"..."

What kind of idiotic talk are you spouting?

Qiong, who was unaware of the concept of immortal beings, looked at Adler, who was not even as tall as her knees, and originally wanted to refute him, but after seeing Dan Heng covering his mouth and chuckling to himself, he decided to play it safe.

I had a feeling that his smile was a little malicious...

Next, after observing a large group of space station staff, Qiong concluded that...

Some are normal, but many are not.

"Sister Danheng? Don't you find it strange that there are so many people on the space station with excellent mental states?"

Qiong mimicked the way March 7th was called, and looked at Danheng, who was standing to the side with a lollipop in his mouth.

Upon hearing the question, Dan Heng's lips curled into a smile.

"Don't ask... You'll understand when you reach my age."

"What adult isn't crazy?"

Qiong: ...

I didn't understand it, but I was deeply moved.

The two met up with Estádio, where March Seven and Himeko were already there.

Just as they were about to exchange a few words, a large red exclamation mark suddenly appeared on the screen in front of Estelle.

warning...warning...

One huge warning symbol after another appeared, densely covering the screen in front of Estella.

A sizzling sound came from somewhere, and a huge creature with a pair of enormous wings and a body of legion-style purplish-black color appeared on the screen.

A claw was attempting to attack the space station's protective shield, and Estella quickly turned to Himeko and shouted.

"You will travel by train."

"I stayed."

An intense seriousness emanated from Estella's eyes. Himeko glanced at Sora, who was still standing there in a daze, then grabbed her and led the train passengers away.

……

"The protective shields on the support section won't last much longer either, you need to hurry..."

"This...is...handed over to..."

"You need to hurry..."

Dan Heng listened to the intermittent sound coming from the headset and tapped it.

Seeing that even the restart technique was ineffective, Dan Heng had no choice but to take off his headset.

"Communication is down."

Dan Heng looked at Dan Heng, who crossed his arms.

"Do you want to go back? Just a reminder: those are Doomsday Beasts, the Legion's anti-planetary weapons."

"This space station was built by the Black Tower. As long as the Great Lord of Annihilation doesn't intervene, there won't be any major problems here."

"We can't just run away like this..."

During the train crew's discussion, Dan Heng closed his eyes and sensed the strength of the shield.

"We can't stop them; it'll only take a few minutes at most."

A comment suddenly popped up, and Danheng nodded in agreement.

"The legion came prepared; even with Nanuk's blessing, this place cannot be held."

Himeko did not refute, but instead looked at Sora to the side.

"That's why we have to leave—and take Sora with us."

Suddenly being called upon, Qiong pointed a finger at herself and blinked her clear, foolish golden eyes.

Huh? Me?

"I understand, he—is crucial?"

"He's the one who broke the deadlock... Of course, I might be wrong."

"...If that's the case, then what's the next step?"

Danheng handed over the task entirely to Himeko and Danheng, then leaned lazily against the wall.

Having an external brain is great; she just needs to follow orders.

I wish Xiaobai could be this smart someday...

After some discussion, they decided to head to the platform and meet up with Walter.

Time was of the essence, so the group checked the mission one last time and set off.
