Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

After leaving the sunny land, Fan Yu was transported back to the lower area along the pipeline.

The figures of the Silvermane Guardsmen he had defeated had almost completely vanished from the area. Judging by the changes in the devices around the pipes, it was clear that the Silvermane Guards had rescued their companions. This was undoubtedly related to the fact that Bronya had discovered him so quickly in the upper levels and came looking for him.

However, we did not encounter a new batch of Silvermane Guards when we returned this time. It is always best to avoid fighting and save time.

After leaving the pipeline, Fan Yu returned towards Panyan Town.

On the 2-kilometer path before Panyan Town, Fan Yu saw a naughty kid holding a digging machine and leading a few little kids to dig the ground on the snow-paved path.

As he approached, he heard a few little brats saying something confusing like "break through the ground from here". Then the naughty kid Hook put his hands on his hips, looking pleased, until Fan Yu came over and grabbed the back of his neck from behind.

"?" Hook's face froze for a moment, then he suddenly realized that his short legs had escaped the pull of gravity. He turned around and saw the figure approaching, his clear eyes filled with joy: "Big Brother!"

"Didn't Dr. Natasha tell you not to come over? Why did you sneak out of Panyan Town again?" Although Fan Yu was lecturing, his tone was friendly and without any coercion.

Hook said happily, "The old witch left with the people of the Underfire some time ago and it will take a long time for her to return, so the dark Lord Hook took advantage of the opportunity to bring his companions from the Mole Party on an adventure. Lord Hook has no natural enemies today, hahaha..."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Fan Yu thought of Dihuo's indignation towards the upper district service officer that morning and Natasha's words, and he couldn't help but ponder.

Natasha and Oleg won't start mobilizing the Earth Fire to do something big just because of my departure, right?

Just as his thoughts were dispersing, Hook's carefree little face had already fallen on the thing in Fan Yu's right hand, and his big eyes were full of anticipation for the new things: "Big brother, what are these?"

"Is that 'Snow Country Adventure Tales, Volume 1'?" asked a barefoot, silver-haired little girl. She was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket that stood out against the snow, like a snow elf from a painting.

Fan Yu discovered that there was a very special child in the town's mole gang.

The other person's features and quiet demeanor, completely different from Hook's carefree and carefree demeanor, reminded him of the name "Einzbern" in his memory.

Hook's little face was surprised: "Hey, Clara, do you know?"

Clara hummed hesitantly. "Mr. Swarovski told me it's a book about adventures. But it seems to have been banned in the upper district..."

"adventure?!"

Hearing these two words, Hook's adventurous cells seemed to be activated, and he stared with bright eyes.

Fan Yu was speechless when he saw the look on her little face that said undisguisedly, "In this lifetime, I can only go so far..."

"It's a gift for you, but it's dangerous to open it here. We need to go back."

Hook felt like ants were crawling on his body, and he couldn't help but want to go back immediately. But thinking of Clara, he still had some thoughts: "Clara, will you come back to Rock Town with me? We can go watch the adventure story together."

Clara shook her head slightly: "I have been out for too long, Mr. Swarlow will be worried."

Fan Yu's gaze fell on a corner at the end of the road ahead. The hissing sound coming from there made him think deeply.

"Swarovski, is that a robot from the mechanical settlement?"

"Well, Clara's father is the most powerful robot in the mechanical settlement. And Clara can repair anything, and she is also a member of our Mole Party!" Hook raised his head proudly, showing the majesty of the king of children in the lower area that he gradually ruled.

Clara: “…”

"Then you don't need me to take you back?" Fan Yu asked Clara.

Clara shook her head and said politely, "No, I've come here many times to look for repair parts and I'm very familiar with the road conditions. Thank you, Mr...."

At this point, Clara suddenly realized that the unreliable Hook had not yet told her the name of this very gentle adult.

"My name is Fanyu La."

Clara's little face was startled.

Ra?

From what she had learned from Mr. Swarlow, this was a very special pronunciation. Furthermore, it seemed that Beloberg wouldn't be able to come up with a word with this pronunciation.

"Thank you, Mr. Fan Yu."

Hook was alert: "?!"

As if suddenly experiencing the feeling that Clara's address was more powerful than his own, Hook suddenly said, "rua... Mr. Spicy."

Fan Yu: "?"

Clara glanced at Hook in confusion, but looking back at the voice coming from the corner, she realized something and bowed politely to Fan Yu: "Then I'll be leaving first, Mr. Fan Yu. If you have time, you can also come to our mechanical settlement as a guest!"

"If I have the chance, I will go."

Clara hummed, then trotted away from the group.

Fan Yu looked at his back and said, "A good kid."

He did not forget the vision in the harmonic spectrum. The color that Clara connected to was not as natural and naive as Hook's, who was close to red at the beginning, but it was much better than the resistance of adults.

Hook said proudly, "Clara is an important honorary member of the Mole Party."

"Then let's go back first, Lord Hook." Fan Yu said as he smiled and touched her tiger head.

The group gradually left from here.

When they returned to Rock Town, Fan Yu brought Hook to Natasha's clinic. The remaining children were frightened by the stern gaze of the female doctor in the clinic, and most of them fled back home, leaving only Hook's small body trembling.

Natasha: "Thank you for bringing the child back. To be honest, we really don't have time to look for them during this busy time."

Hook lowered his head guiltily and started playing with his sleeves.

"This child is actually very smart. She knows that she doesn't dare to run too far even if it is a dangerous place." Fan Yu said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Hook agreed.

But facing the death stare from the old witch (Natasha), she suddenly dared not speak.

Natasha breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, everything turned out well. However, we now have a problem, Fanyu.

When Oleg and his team went to take over, they found traces of fighting in the pipeline—"

She didn't say it very clearly, but the questioning meaning in her eyes was very obvious.

Fan Yu: "Yes, it's me!"

Chapter 45 We are "Earth Fire"

"..."

There was a brief silence in the clinic.

As Fan Yu took the suitcase to the table and opened it, he revealed medicine bottles of all sizes and packaged syringes, which almost filled the entire suitcase.

Looking at these, Natasha opened her mouth. This was just one box. Based on her understanding of pharmacies during her time in the upper district, it was probably a pharmacy that had been ransacked.

Many of these injectable drugs were ones she hadn't seen for a long time since she left the upper area.

Fan Yu laid out everything in the box and said to Natasha seriously, "If I hadn't seen Cruze stripping off the monster's armor and punching to earn money for treatment, I really wouldn't have any idea of ​​the resources I'm taking up here.

Natasha, I don't know why, but you've invested too much in me."

"So, you defeated those Silver Mane Iron Guards and sneaked into the upper area in return for the medical treatment?" Natasha asked helplessly.

Fan Yu said calmly: "I am just a human being..."

Natasha didn't know what to say, but looking at the face opposite her, she had a new discovery: the other party was more stubborn than she had imagined.

"You don't really need to feel that way."

She sighed and continued, "Honestly, the reason we saved you in the first place was simply because of my duty as a doctor. Furthermore, beyond that duty, it was also to give the residents of Rock Town hope. In this sealed-off lower district, too many people are feeling depressed as resources are depleted. Just like Hook's usual anticipation, do you understand?"

Hook: "..."

Although she really wanted to watch "Snow Country Adventure Tales" now, she knew not to interrupt the conversation between the old witch and the big brother even at her young age.

"Of course, I admit that this is just the initial idea," Natasha added.

During Fan Yu's awakening, Oleg and she had a new idea when they found something in each other's backpack that day.

However, the Dihuo people didn't intend to force anything on the other side because they didn't want to owe anyone a favor. They simply treated them as residents who had lost their homes. This situation continued until the mine incident...

"When you took the initiative to ask Oleg to join the Earth Fire, I also discovered your strong body, which contains great potential. Naturally, both as a doctor and as a member of the Earth Fire, I want to test the limits of your body!"

Although these words sounded a bit like those of a female hooligan, Natasha, a doctor, had no embarrassment in speaking them.

Listening to her words, Fan Yu's eyes fell on the red ribbon tied around Natasha, symbolizing the 'Earth Fire' group. He said with emotion, "Is this the first time you've admitted to me that you're a member of the Earth Fire group, Doctor?"

Natasha: "But you already noticed it, didn't you?"

Given Oleg and Xier's attitude every time they came over, anyone who wasn't a child like Hook would probably be able to figure out her identity. Of course, as for Natasha, she preferred to treat this person as a doctor, because that would make the other person less defensive!

“To sum up, this is what we, the Earth Fire, think of you.

Xier was supported by Oleg from a young age and gradually grew up to become a cadre. When Luka was still a rascal, Oleg gradually tamed his temper and made him a disciple.

The same goes for you. We never intended to kidnap you.

Your growth, and the medicine used on you...are simply the result of your being a member of our Earth Fire, and your excellent talents, not any other factors!"

These words were very calm, but they came out of Natasha's mouth with a strong and powerful tone.

Even Hook could see that the old witch seemed to be shining at this moment. She was ignorant and didn't know what that meant, but in Fan Yu's eyes, he felt that apart from Natasha's usual dark personality, this was the first time she truly showed the temperament of a leader.

Fan Yu couldn't help but feel a throbbing emotion in his heart: "Thank you for telling me so much, Natasha."

Natasha: "Well, now you should understand our thinking."

"Hmm... but this also proves that I should have gone to the upper areas sooner," Fan Yu responded calmly. Facing Natasha's bewildered look, he expressed his thoughts, "Everyone has a sense of shame, and I haven't shared your hardships. I've only been with the Earth Fire for less than a month. How could you possibly think I could accept all this with such a clear conscience?"

Natasha raised her eyebrows: "You are really stubborn..."

She didn't want to dwell on this topic any further and instead looked at the medicines on the table. "These medicines can alleviate the symptoms of most patients in Rivet Town. But, Fan Yu, you know that the problem now is no longer that."

"The main problem comes from the upper district?"

Natasha was very pleased with his understanding and held up her chin. "It seems that these medicines were not chosen on impulse."

Fan Yu responded, "I've considered the possibility of being hunted down and the consequences of that. I've also considered several methods. I think I can deal with them individually."

Natasha paused. "What?"

"I've only been in Rock Town for two months, and all the residents can testify to that.

Furthermore, I've never revealed my origins. Even if they investigate, they'll discover something unusual about me. By then, the upper echelons will be concerned not just about the rebellion of the lower echelons, but about the potential significance of me, a 'foreigner.'"

This potential meaning is very important not only to the Everlasting City [Beloberg], a fortress that is about to be swallowed by the Rift, but also to the entire Yalilo VI civilization.

Natasha frowned. "Are you going to be alone?"

"I've been to the upper district, and the troops there seem to be in urgent need of manpower... When faced with someone like me, they can only mobilize a portion of the Silver Mane Guards. They can't assign too many people to me, and I'm confident I can handle it."

Natasha looked at him helplessly: "This is really your style."

If it weren't for the frank conversation they had just had, which had led to mutual understanding, she would probably have thought that the other person was the kind of troublesome person who "didn't like to owe favors to others."

Fan Yu said seriously, "This isn't about cutting ties with you guys, but it's more convenient for me to be alone. Existing as a shadow is the most reasonable thing to do!"

Besides, this was something he had done himself.

Even though these medicines were for the residents of Panyan Town, Fan Yu never had the idea of ​​letting the people here pay for his actions!

“But sometimes, reasonable is not necessarily appropriate!”

Just then, a voice came from outside the clinic door, interrupting Fan Yu and Natasha's thoughts and making them look back.

"Oleg?"

Not only Oleg, but also Butterfly.

Xier leaned against the door of the clinic and said, "That's right, your individualism is unacceptable. If you bear it all alone, then one day someone else will be able to bear it all alone, and then this career will be meaningless."

"Don't forget, we are the 'Earth Fire'!"

Chapter 46 Towards a Great Career

Xier's words have some of the immature nature of a young girl, but they also express her thoughts simply and directly.

This passion is what Oleg and Natasha lack.

Natasha pulled her back from her state of 'preparing to embark on a great undertaking' and curiously asked the two, "How long have you been here?"

"It's about the same time as when you mentioned 'medicine' and Fan Yu explained the plan." Oleg glanced at Fan Yu.

He had never thought that this usually taciturn young man would actually go to such lengths for their lower class district. However, at this moment, Oleg was also filled with relief. This was the so-called sincerity for sincerity.

Hook, who had been ignored, asked naively, "Doesn't that mean you were eavesdropping?"

Xier glared at the naughty child and snorted, "We're not here to eavesdrop. We just happened to have something to explain and didn't want to interrupt."
