She patted the black tower doll, which was already turned off, and asked curiously, "Is this amazing doll your work, shop manager? Who did you base it on? It's quite beautiful."
"This is not something I made. It is the work of a genius in some other world, renowned throughout the universe, based on herself."
"No wonder I couldn't break through their defenses."
Toyokawa Shoko was quite shrewd; "After all that fighting, she didn't even mess up her hairstyle."
Luo Zhen said, "Hei Ta is a rather narcissistic person. The most technically advanced aspect of the dolls is the maintenance of their beauty. Even top hackers cannot leave any traces on the dolls."
"Therefore, this will be the best shield."
Among the materials used to make the Black Tower Doll are some very rare metals. Luo Zhen activated the Word Spirit Sword Control, and the Black Tower Doll immediately began to hover around him.
This is something no one else can do, even if their ability to control metal is a thousand times stronger than his, because the Black Tower granted him access, allowing him to control the puppets at will.
"Sigh, I didn't expect Black Tower to be so obedient. I'm a little ashamed."
Upon hearing the story, Toyokawa Shoko asked, "You virtuous gentleman, what have you done?"
"I projected a magical girl transformation device and swapped it with this doll. By now, the transformation device should be gone."
Luo Zhen said, "No rush, I'll make it up to her next time I see her."
Just then, the door opened, and a girl in a bright purple dress, carrying a sickle, walked in. Just by looking at her face, you had the feeling that she might fly her head off and hit someone.
It's you, Seele, who has no surname!
Seele covered her head, feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information. What was all this? It was so hard to understand.
(I陆I3陾陾^ (九)尔“Anyway, this is a place where we can ask for help, right? Can you help the lower city provide some food, medicine and fuel?”
[Request: Seele wants some supplies]
[Reward for Commissioning: 1000 Commission Crystals]
With just a glance from Luo Zhen, Fengchuan Xiangzi went to prepare, while he talked to Xi'er, intending to squeeze more commissions out of her.
Seele was a little reserved. The cottage was not luxuriously furnished, but for the resource-poor downtown area, it was a magnificent building that had never been seen before.
“I also know a little about Belloberg’s situation.”
Luo Zhen said, "The reason why the lower city lacks supplies is because the upper city has imposed a blockade on you, but before, the upper city was not blocked, right?"
Seele nodded. She was still a little dazed. She remembered that she had only intended to go to see Dr. Natasha. How did she end up in this place after opening the door?
"Do you know why the current High Guardian, Cocolia, is sealing off the Lower City?"
Seele shook her head: "I don't understand those profound principles. I only know that she's forcing us to die."
After the upper and lower city areas were sealed off, their food supplies were extremely limited, and they had to mine more earth marrow in exchange for meager rewards.
Many people fell ill from exhaustion in the mining area. After falling ill, they had very little medicine and lost their ability to work. If no one helped them, they could only wait to die.
"You guessed right, her goal is to force you to die."
"what?"
Seele's eyes were glazed over, as if her brain was overloaded. Others might have pressed for details, but Seele was different; she was uneducated.
After finally realizing what was happening, she slapped her sickle: "What else is there to say? Let's get her!"
However, after she finished speaking, she sat down again.
The lower city is living such a hard life, if they could have resisted, they would have done so long ago. Why are they still maintaining the blockade and not attacking? Do they like suffering?
Of course we can't beat them!
On one side are sickly men who can't even get enough to eat, lack medical care and medicine, and have to go down into the mines every day.
On one side were the Silvermane Iron Guards, clad in armor and well-equipped.
It goes without saying which side has a higher win rate than Erling 2 Yi (3) Ling | Ba Yueyi.
Seele asked hesitantly, "Can you help me? Help me defeat Cocolia and make everyone in the lower city live a good life. What price do I need to pay?"
Even if she were completely ignorant, she knew how difficult it would be. If she really wanted to accomplish this, even giving her life wouldn't be enough to make up for it.
[Request: Seele wants to defeat Cocolia and save the lower town]
[Commission Reward: 20,000 Commission Crystals]
"We can talk about the compensation later."
Luo Zhen said, "Just because you can't afford the price now doesn't mean you can't afford it later. I opened this consignment shop purely out of a desire to help people, not to take advantage of their kindness."
He stood up: "I will help you, but Seele, you also need to work hard."
Seele nodded vigorously; she was willing to do anything to save everyone in the lower city.
After Xiangzi delivered the supplies, Luo Zhen and Xi'er arrived in the lower part of Beloborg and gathered a large crowd under the pretext of distributing supplies.
Looking at the gathered crowd, Seele felt a little nervous, but remembering Luo Zhen's words, she mustered her courage.
Even if Luo Zhen helps defeat the Silver Mane Iron Guard and Cocolia, maintaining order and ensuring the normal operation of the upper and lower city areas still requires manpower.
She looked at the group of people gathered around her and said:
"I've decided to attack the upper city and cut off Cocolia's dog head!"
One of the members of the Earthfire team asked, "Isn't this too radical?"
Seele stared directly at him, raised her scythe, and he retreated in terror, fearing that Seele would suddenly lunge at him and sever his dog's head.
Have you ever been to the market? Do you know how much bread costs in the downtown area now?
"Five hundred thousand Winter City Shields! A full five hundred thousand Winter City Shields! That amount of money can't even fit in a carriage!"
"And now you're telling me my proposal is too radical?"
She looked around: "Ask yourselves honestly, do you have enough to eat every day? Do you have medicine to treat your illnesses? Look at yourselves, look at your families and children, and tell me!"
"Now is not the time to remain silent, it is time for us to rise up!"
She clapped her hands, and Luo Zhen appeared. After opening the space, bags of white rice fell in front of everyone, piled up very high, almost touching the ceiling of the tavern.
Next came a dazzling array of roast chickens, and medicines packaged in boxes.
"Start distributing supplies now, everyone will get some!"
Seele said, "Everyone will have a bag of rice and ten roast chickens! The medicine will be kept by Dr. Natasha; those who need it can go and collect it themselves."
Seeing the supplies that almost filled the entire tavern, most people lost their ability to think. Having been used to hardship, they had never seen such a sight before.
Especially when the roast chicken was piled up, the aroma filled the entire tavern, and their stomachs couldn't help but rumble.
Seele raised her right hand at a 45-degree angle and shouted, "Loyalty!"
Everyone was in a frenzy, raising their hands high, and shouts of "loyalty" echoed throughout the tavern.
Next came the distribution of supplies. Seele really kept her promise: a bag of rice and ten roast chickens for each person!
There was so much roast chicken that it was impossible to carry it all. Everyone was devouring it, their mouths dripping with oil.
"Don't rush, and don't think about taking them back to your family. Everyone has one, and even those who didn't come have one. You can just inform Ling Yi Qi Si Wu Jiu Si Cu Ba later."
In this downtown area where even a bowl of chaff is considered a delicacy, the moment they tasted the roast chicken, they were already prepared to give their lives.
Oleg, the leader of the Earthfire, quietly approached Seele with a worried expression: "I understand how you feel, Seele, but we really can't defeat the Silvermane Iron Guards."
"That's not a problem."
Seele said, "I don't intend for everyone to fight the Silvermane Iron Guards; that would be suicide. I just want to organize everyone to maintain order so that it will be easier to take over Belloberg."
She glanced at Luo Zhen: "He brought the food, and he also took care of the Silver Mane Iron Guards."
Oleg asked in confusion, "Who is he?"
"he is my friend."
Seele said, "A good friend I met by chance."
Oleg racked his brains but couldn't figure out how Seele could make such an awesome friend. But after thinking it over, he felt that not only Seele, but nothing in the entire lower city was worth this person's attention.
Even if they wanted to rule the lower city, they wouldn't need this much grain. If they gave half of it, plenty of people would be willing to give their lives for it.
After eating and drinking their fill, the people from the lower city gathered together and charged aggressively towards the passage between the upper and lower cities. Before the Silver Mane Iron Guards guarding the passage could say anything, Luo Zhen used his Taixu Sword God technique and fell into a deep sleep, soundly enjoying himself.
He didn't kill the Silvermane Iron Guards. The members of the Silvermane Iron Guards were all people who sacrificed their lives to fight against the Rift creatures, and many of them were deliberately killed by Cocolia. They were in the same boat as the Lower City.
The group then advanced rapidly, making rapid progress.
When Cocolia received news of the rebellion in the lower city, her first reaction was disbelief.
I've already collected 95% of the taxes, how can these old, weak, sick, and disabled scoundrels still muster the strength to rebel? This is outrageous! They're no ordinary scoundrels; we must strike hard!
She didn't take the rabble in the lower city seriously at all; the Silvermane Iron Guard had the advantage over the old, weak, sick, and disabled!
"Where's Jepard? Send him to quell the unrest!"
boom--
Less than three minutes after the order was given, the door to the High Guardian's office was kicked open.
Cocolia saw the captured Jepard, as well as her adopted daughter, the chosen successor, Bronya Rand.
Cocolia roared, "Bronya, why are you standing over there? Have you betrayed us?"
Bronya hesitated, unable to speak. She hadn't betrayed them; she had simply been captured by Rōjin during the suppression of the rebellion and told Rōjin about Cocolia's manipulation.
Yes, unlike the Honkai Impact 3rd world where Cocolia is a complete idiot with a screw loose, this world's Cocolia is actually doing things.
She was a very competent guardian in the past, but she discovered that the earth marrow was being mined less and less, and it was very likely that it would be completely depleted in a few decades. When Bronya came to power, the situation of the complete extinction of the Beloberg would be faced.
Considering that Bellob had persisted for six or seven hundred years, and the situation was getting worse and worse with no hope in sight, she was bewitched by the Star Core, which promised her to destroy the old world and create a new one.
In Luo Zhen's view, this was indeed something that could not be helped. Anyone who has looked back on history and felt hopeless for six or seven hundred years, and was walking step by step toward death, would feel despair.
Bronya didn't dare look at Cocolia. She didn't actually believe it, but faced with Luo Zhen's fist, which was as big as a casserole dish, she had no choice but to believe it.
However, she was, after all, her adoptive mother who raised her and chose her as her successor. Bronya begged Rozen to spare Cocolia's life, which triggered the request.
[Request: Bronya begs you to spare Cocolia's life]
[Reward for Commissioning: 1000 Commission Crystals]
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you betrayed me."
Cocolia said, "You simply cannot understand my good intentions, nor can you comprehend all the power I possess right now."
