Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

Fan Yu: "I can."

Before Natasha finished saying the word "you", Fan Yu took over the conversation.

She and Oleg were stunned. They didn't expect Fan Yu to agree so decisively.

Oleg said, "Then I'll gather everyone together, and now's the perfect time to make the announcement. It's the perfect time to bring everyone together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Oleg went out with his bandages on, regardless of his injuries.

"So, have you thought of what you want to say?"

"What?"

Natasha wasn't surprised by his reaction. "It's just some encouraging words. Oleg has been with the Silver Mane Guard before, and he knows how to bring everyone together. It's very inspiring."

"No."

Natasha: “?”

She took out her usual reading material from the drawer of the table next to her - "The God of Spring and the God of War Yalilo"

"I brought this from the upper district a while ago. You can take a look at it."

"Thank you!" Fan Yu took the book.

As they waited, more and more members of the Underground Fire gathered outside the clinic. When the open square outside the window was almost full of people, Oleg walked in.

"almost."

Fan Yu nodded and followed him out.

In front of the square, the captured Silvermane Lieutenant and Silvermane Iron Guard had been pushed to the side of the trash can.

Late at night, the street lights illuminated the square in front of the clinic, where nearly a hundred people had gathered. The old miner, who had been awakened in the middle of the night, looked confused, while the young "Underground Fire" members who had experienced the battle outside the pipeline entrance had undisguised excitement in their eyes.

Oleg said calmly, "I called everyone here because I need to explain something. I'm injured and no longer fit to lead. From now on, Fan Yu will take over my shift."

He did not intend to make any speech that would excite the residents like the speeches of the Great Guardian he had seen before. Instead, he spoke like a calm foreman about an ordinary matter of handing over a shift.

Some of the older members of the Earth Fire were stunned: "Huh?"

Oleg continued, "Of course, you don't have to worry. Fan Yu was actually a secret spy we sent to the upper zone a long time ago. He was seriously injured and fell into a coma after obtaining important information two months ago. He has actually always been a core member of the "Earth Fire" and often provides us with advice. He has only recently come into everyone's attention."

The members of "Dihuo" had different expressions when they heard this.

"So that's how it is. I knew that Fan Yu was no ordinary guy!" said a member of the Dihuo team who had the experience of exploring Rivet Town with Fan Yu seriously.

Another female member of the Earthfire, arms folded, said confidently, "It seems the boss (Oleg) assigned him to take care of those Huk kids to alleviate the trauma of the Upper District. I totally understand."

"There have always been rumors that Oleg is only the nominal leader, and the real leader is someone else. So it's him... This makes everything make sense!"

Oleg listened to the whispers of the people below, his face expressionless (completely dull): "..."

The reason for knitting seems to be simpler than imagined.

He was still thinking about how to explain Fan Yu's situation during the ten days after he woke up and the mining, so that everything would seem more reasonable. But now it seemed that there was no need for that...

Looking around at the people on the ground fire below, with their attitudes that showed no doubt at all, Oleg suddenly felt that his previous preparations were a bit funny.

That’s right—

Even if there is no need to weave together some behind-the-scenes leader, after today's events, Fan Yu will not be opposed to becoming the leader.

"Well, it's your turn as the new leader to speak!" Oleg patted Fan Yu's shoulder.

Fan Yu responded and walked a few steps forward to the door of Natasha's clinic. He couldn't see everyone's faces in the dark. He could only find Xier, who had obvious features, Joshua, whom he often met, and some colleagues who used to collect supplies in Rivet Town.

This kind of perspective is also the first time since my student days that I have looked down at so many people.

To be honest, for him, who had long since abandoned group life and returned to individuality in his original world, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

However, in addition to the pressure, the gazes from below also gave Fan Yu an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and something was surging from his heart.

"In the first month after I woke up in Rock Town, the thing I thought about most was that I couldn't get any sunlight here."

Everyone: “Huh?”

“Life on earth is very warm.”

Fan Yu's words seemed to be whispering to himself, yet also like he was reminiscing about something: "Even with frozen ground covering the earth, the sun's rays will illuminate the ground and bring warmth. As winter fades, the snow will slowly melt, and the insects that died of winter's freezing cold will become nutrients for the earth, until all things gradually grow under the cover of sunlight, bringing vitality..."

Oleg, who was standing beside him, seemed to be lost in thought. As far as he knew, Beloberg had welcomed the arrival of 'spring' a long time ago, and the cold wave had covered the place where they lived for at least 700 years.

This was probably the first time that Fan Yu indirectly explained to them the secret of being a "foreigner".

Natasha, who was standing behind the window, had a strange expression on her face: "Could this be the inspiration he got from that fairy tale book?"

"I hope to be able to bask in the blessings of the sun freely, and no one can stop us from enjoying it all!" Fan Yu slowly raised his lance.

His words were not like those of an orator who could mobilize the emotions of the masses. He simply expressed an ordinary vision.

But the meaning expressed in his words was that he had no intention of hiding his wolfish ambition to "go to the upper class area".

Everyone in "Dihuo" could naturally hear the hidden meaning in this statement. The older people might still have some concerns about the battle, but the radical young people were looking at Fan Yu with eyes that were gradually turning towards admiration.

This kind of 'ambition' makes them feel that they can go further.

Xier, who was in the crowd, was also attracted by the figure of Fan Yu turning his head high up. At this moment, the figure who raised his lance to respond to the crowd was as unexpected as his pupils.

All the members of the Earth Fire were infected, and she couldn't help but feel proud to be one of them.

"A great movement often starts from small places like this..."

Chapter 57 [Bronya]: Connection Depth 3

at the same time.

Belloberg, Upper District.

A movement sweeping across the town of Rock began to brew quietly, but the office of the Grand Guardian in Krippenburg was still waiting for the mobilization information in the evening.

Grand Guardian Cocolia Rand sat upright on a bench, facing the two extremely nervous Silver Mane Guards in the hall. Rubbing her brows, she asked with a headache, "You said Bronya hasn't come up from the pipe yet?"

"Yes, since the troops led by Lady Bronya set off four hours ago, there has been no sign of the elevator being activated there." The Silver Mane Iron Guard reported.

Cocolia frowned when she heard this.

The sound of Bronya and her arguing in the morning was still echoing in her ears.

Cocolia was very clear about the thoughts of her daughter whom she had taught. No matter how much she refuted her, when she chose to lead the team to carry out the execution, she must have made a lot of mental preparations.

Even if she was naive and didn't want to harm the residents of the lower district and planned to resist him peacefully, she would never let the mission fail and would refuse to come back to report.

In particular, this time she also ordered Perron, an experienced lieutenant who had served as Silver Mane for decades, to assist her. Although that living fossil was not as good as Jeppard of the Landau family, he was definitely enough to deal with the complex situation in the lower area.

A sense of uneasiness emerged in her heart.

"Boundary Rift..." Cocolia murmured.

Silvermane Iron Guard: "Huh?"

"Has the Rift Realm begun to devour?" Cocolia asked seriously.

Lieutenant Silvermane instinctively looked up, only to see the purple glint in his superior's eyes, as if possessed. Thinking he'd seen it wrong, he lowered his head and said honestly, "There's no sign of rift erosion around the pipe, Great Guardian."

"Then go search," Cocolia gave the order, then suddenly seemed to remember something. "Some time ago, you reported a stowaway from the Lower District who came to the Upper District to resell goods, right? Have the Silver Mane Iron Guard find him and have him lead the search in the Lower District."

Upon hearing this, the Silver Mane Iron Guard looked troubled. "Well... Great Guardian. Too many troops have been withdrawn from the city. If we need more manpower, we definitely won't have enough. And over in the Iron Guard restricted area, Commander Jeppard is fighting off some of the Rift's erosion and can't spare any troops."

Cocolia said coldly: "It's okay, I will go there myself to suppress the monster."

"Yes!"

Soon after, the order came out from Kripal Castle.

Late at night the Silver Mane Guards began to mobilize.

At the museum fountain in the upper area, two silver-maned iron guards blocked a flashy blue-haired young man carrying a leather suitcase.

Under the street lights at night, the green pupil of his left eye appeared very bright.

"According to Merchant Shakespeare's report, you are being arrested for trafficking in cultural relics, Bosang Zi!"

"Ahaha... Masters of the Iron Guards, you must have recognized the wrong person. My name is not Bosang Zi, but Huohua Lan." The man rubbed his hands with a flattering smile on his face.

But the Silvermane Iron Guard had no intention of listening to his explanation and slowly drew his weapon.

As the number of Silver Mane Iron Guards behind him increased, beads of sweat appeared on the man's forehead.

Just as he was about to throw a smoke bomb from the box and escape, two ice spears snapped and stood on either side of him in the darkness. Even the fountain at the entrance of the museum was completely frozen, and his face turned completely green.

It's just selling something, is there any need to make such a fuss and arrest me?

……

the other side.

Panyan Town.

Fan Yu was honored as the new generation leader of the "Earth Fire" organization. After giving his encouragement in the dark night, he let most of the "Earth Fire" members go home to rest.

The remaining group, including Seele, began to deal with Bronya's Silver Mane Guards and other captives.

"Leave it to us to get information from them!

Have a good rest here tonight, don't go back to the hotel, and think carefully about tomorrow's arrangements. "Oleg knew that this was his first time as a leader, and now was the time to clear his mind. He carried the injured Xi'er and the remaining members of the Earth Fire to transport the prisoners away.

Fan Yu returned to the clinic.

Natasha was disinfecting the tools she had used to treat Bronya. While she was finishing her work, she asked Fan Yu, "How do you feel?"

"There's something hard to explain." Fan Yu took a deep breath.

Natasha said ashamedly, "I'm sorry, Oleg and I put too much pressure on you."

Fan Yu shook his head. He had taken on this task on his own initiative, so there wasn't much pressure. Furthermore, while the consequence of this incident was the Upper District's desire for a qualified leader to use the Earth Fire as a prelude, the cause was his own intrusion into the Upper District.

"It's developed to this point in just one day. The process is faster than I imagined. We have to seize the time..."

Natasha: “?”

This person had already anticipated the conflict with the upper class?

A thought, 'Did we create the leader of the Earth Fire, or has he long been plotting to oust Oleg and me?', grew deep within Natasha, a thought she couldn't articulate. Her expression grew increasingly strange as she looked at Fan Yu.

"Oleg told me you can go upstairs and get some sleep. I need to deal with these things today, and I also need to refine some medicine that may be used later."

Natasha decided to change the subject.

Fan Yu hummed.

A few minutes later.

He came to Natasha's room on the second floor. The room smelled of many herbs, glassware, medical books, a simple wooden table and bed, and the doll that Hook had given her last time.

Sit in a chair and return to your own time.

Fan Yu consciously activated the harmonic spectrum connection under his right eye and began to check some of the gains from today's settlement.

Natasha

Connection level: Depth 4

Today's settlement gains: Tear +1, Spirit +1 (x3)

Hooke

Connection level: Depth 5.

Today's settlement gains: Strength +1 (x4), Agility +1

The gains and feedback that these two permanent residents bring to Fan Yu have become stable.

They can now be said to have accumulated funds in the early stages and have targeted channels for stable growth.

Then, there are only the new alternative connection targets that have emerged today.
