The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

March 7 was moved by Natasha's sincere words and said with some emotion.

"I hope so. But speaking of which, where was this picture taken?"

Natasha changed the subject and asked.

“This picture was probably taken on a planet other than this one, Dr. Natasha. You know we’re extraterrestrials. This picture was taken by a friend of mine. Maybe she’s on vacation on some very comfortable seaside planet,” March 7 explained.

"Oh?" Natasha frowned, and said thoughtfully:

"Perhaps... your friend has also come here."

"How could that be? My friend is so far away from us, it would take light countless years to travel there. If it weren't for the existence of star trails, we might never have been able to see her again."

March 7th shook his head, completely rejecting Natasha's explanation. Back then, Bai Zhi had posted many pictures of the Immortal Ship in the train's group chat, which basically confirmed that Bai Zhi had indeed been inexplicably teleported to the Immortal Ship.

It's impossible that Bai Zhi would inexplicably reappear near the train crew in just a few days.

Although March 7th felt that the train crew was definitely capable of accomplishing something great, she didn't consider herself a protagonist in a novel or game, whose everything revolved around the train crew.

So even if Bai Zhi were teleported again, how could she possibly arrive here at this exact moment in this vast universe?

With that probability, what's the difference between that and winning the grand prize in the Galaxy Lotto?

She didn't think she was that lucky.

"Why do you say that, Dr. Natasha? What's your basis for saying so?"

It wasn't March 7th who spoke, but Dan Heng, who had long harbored suspicions. Bai Zhi's aura was too unique; he didn't believe others possessed it as well. But the universe was so vast that he couldn't be 100% certain.

“Look here,” Natasha pointed to a corner of the photo. “Do you see this kettle?”

The group gathered around, and then March 7 zoomed in on the image. Thanks to the hardware upgrades brought by the interstellar era, the resolution was greatly improved, so even when zoomed in, everyone could clearly see many patterns on the kettle.

"This style...it looks so familiar. I feel like I've seen a similar kettle somewhere before?"

March 7th scratched his head, thinking about where he had seen it before.

However, Natasha soon revealed the origin of the kettle.

"This canteen belongs to the Silvermane Guards. Judging from the extra patterns on it, the person who owns this canteen probably holds a very high position even within the Silvermane Guards, at least the level where they can frequently meet with the High Warden."

"Huh? You mean, this picture was taken in Belleburg?" March 7th exclaimed in surprise.

“Indeed, this kind of water bottle, March, do you remember Jepard who led us into the city? He had one of these water bottles with him back then... I even remember that when I was fighting him, I slashed the water bottle with my spear and left a mark on it.”

“Indeed, look, you can still see some scratches here. It’s probably just the wrong angle. If you look at it from another angle, you can probably see the marks you made on it, Danheng.”

March 7th felt like he had discovered a new continent and began to analyze the kettle.

"But how could this happen? Little Angelica has run into us again. But it's good, though. Little Angelica is like a magic bag, always able to come up with a solution when something happens. Why don't we just go find her?"

"No, we're wanted, and we even kidnapped that little girl. You can imagine how angry the Great Guardian Cocolia must be. If we go up there, who knows what kind of pursuit we'll face."

Danheng shook his head, rejecting the idea for March 7th.

93 How about we make Angelica dahurica the Great Guardian?

"What should we do? I really want to see Xiaobaizhi."

March 7th pursed her lips, appearing somewhat dejected.

"How about we just storm up there, defeat Cocolia, force her to tell us why she did this, and then mobilize everyone in Beloberg to search for the Star Core?"

Xing thought for a moment and said simply and bluntly, "Anyway, those Silvermane Iron Guards aren't very strong. At worst, we can ask Himeko-sensei to use orbital bombardment for support!"

Dan Heng helplessly covered his forehead. "Your method is indeed feasible, but we are pioneers, not interstellar bandits..."

Xing shrugged. "But it is indeed very efficient. Once the people are dealt with, all the problems are solved."

In fact, Dan Heng understood very well that with the power of himself and his fellow Destiny Walkers, it was practically wishful thinking for ordinary Beloborg soldiers to stop them, unless a large number of mechs or other Destiny Walkers were deployed to stop them. Otherwise, they could easily break through the city.

Unfortunately, while that kind of operation was indeed very efficient, it was also very inhumane. Perhaps some pioneers did do something similar, but as pioneers who rode on Archivist's Star Train, they received a lot of attention, so they absolutely could not do such a thing.

While they may not necessarily have to abide by local laws, they should still adhere to the most basic human rights principles.

"Before that, I think we should ask Bai Zhi on our phones how she got to Belleburg and what she's doing. Maybe her activities can help us."

Danheng thought for a moment and then made a suggestion.

“That’s right, Xiaobaizhi posted it on her WeChat Moments, so why don’t we just ask her directly?”

March 7th patted his head and then took out his phone.

March 7th: [Little Angelica, have you arrived in Belleburg?]

A few seconds later, Bai Zhi's reply appeared.

Bai Zhi: [That's right, Sister March, when I arrived, I even saw you guys breaking through.]

March 7th: [Even though Xiao Baizhi saw us, she didn't contact us. Humph, it seems Xiao Baizhi doesn't love you, Sister March, anymore.]

Bai Zhi: [How could that be? I just considered that your situation was very urgent at the time, so I didn't contact you rashly. Besides, I really miss Sister March's embrace~]

March 7th: [You're right, but where was that photo you posted on your WeChat Moments taken? I don't remember there being a place like that in Belleburg, right?]

Bai Zhi: [This is difficult to explain. Brother Dan Heng is from the Immortal Ship. You can ask him about the cave-heaven technology; he can answer your questions.]

Bai Zhi: [I came here mainly because Aha assigned me some tasks. This guy seems to value me a lot, always giving me tasks and perks.]

"A grotto-heaven? Danheng, do you know what that is? Xiaobaizhi just mentioned it."

Upon seeing this, March 7th asked Danheng a question.

"A grotto-heaven?" Dan Heng frowned, but then suddenly realized what was going on. Seeing the puzzled expressions on March 7th's, Natasha's, and Xing's faces, he explained:

"The 'Cave Heaven' is actually a kind of spatial technology, a small space created by various complex immortal boat spells. Except for the sky, which is fake, most of the natural conditions inside are no different from those of a normal planet."

However... I remember that creating and maintaining a grotto-heaven requires a huge amount of energy. An ordinary cultivator can only create a small grotto-heaven a few hundred meters in diameter at most, and even that prevents them from using any additional power.

"But the cave in Xiaobaizhi's photo doesn't look to me like it's only a few hundred meters in diameter."

"Then I'll ask."

On March 7th, he immediately typed a message and asked Bai Zhi about the matter.

Bai Zhi: [Sister March asked me how big the cave I created was? Let me think... it seems quite small, probably only about 300 square kilometers.]

"It seems...not that big?" March 7 blinked, agreeing wholeheartedly.

"This area... is indeed not large, but it's not something the Pathfinders can afford. At least a large antimatter reactor would be needed to supply the energy, and this area is probably only this big in the Beloberg area, right?"

Dan Heng naturally knew that 300 square kilometers was nothing compared to the grotto-heavens on the Immortal Ship, which were often the size of a planet. It was at most equivalent to the size of a district-level unit in an ordinary city.

But as the saying goes, everything must be compared. For example, the last human stronghold on Arillow 6, Belloborg, might not even be this big if you only consider the urban area.

In other words, this cave could fit all of Belloberg's people inside.

"Although I'm completely confused, if my comprehension is correct, the angelica you mentioned created a space, and it's a warm coastal place like the one in the picture, with an area of ​​about 300 square kilometers?"

Natasha couldn't help but chime in. Although the cave technology was difficult for her to understand, she could understand that it might give the people of Beloborg, especially the poor people of the lower city, a new home.

"If what Xiaobaizhi said is true, then that is indeed the case."

Dan Heng hesitated for a moment. He saw what Natasha was thinking and reminded her, "Although the area is very large, the cave heaven needs energy to support it, and the energy requirement is not low. If Bai Zhi cannot provide the energy, the entire cave heaven may rapidly decay and then collapse in a short period of time."

“But… Little Angelica said that the energy that pays for those things comes from the power of the Star God of Joy, Aha.”

"...That's all."

Upon hearing the words "March 7th," Dan Heng was speechless for a long time before finally managing to utter the sentence.

But that makes sense. A cave of this size could only be provided with enough energy by either a dragon lord like him who possesses great power, a powerful envoy, or a large antimatter reactor.

Bai Zhi clearly does not meet any of these conditions, so there is only one possibility: just like the cave heaven of the Immortal Boat was powered by the power of the Emperor Bow Master, the cave heaven here was powered by the power of Aha.

"I'm thinking, why don't we just bestow the imperial robe upon Xiao Baizhi and elect her as the new Great Guardian? Then we can mobilize the masses to search for the Star Core. What do you think of this plan?"

Xing quickly proposed her new idea, which was immediately adopted by Natasha.

“I think this plan might actually be feasible. If that cave doesn’t collapse so easily, then it can bring more hope and resources to the people of Beloborg. Electing Bai Zhi as the new Great Guardian is no problem at all!”

94 Angelica dahurica cards

"Hey, what is this?"

In a secluded spot near Rocky Town, Bronya crouched down and, somewhat inexplicably, picked up a card.

She had just escaped from Natasha's clinic, and like Natasha, she had also seen the rather unfriendly looks she received from the people in the lower districts, which puzzled her.

According to her mother, Cocolia, even though the upper and lower city areas were under lockdown, the necessary supplies were still plentiful.

However, judging from the reactions of the people in the lower city and the clothes they wore, it had nothing to do with having sufficient supplies.

That's why she fled to this secluded place, trying to think carefully about what exactly happened.

However, just as she was about to calm down, the card floated down from the sky.

She hadn't paid any attention to the card at first, but for some reason, it seemed to possess a magical power that was calling to her.

Following this attraction, Bronya picked up the card.

The card seems to have a metallic texture, but it is not heavy. The front is printed with a dog that looks full of life, and the surrounding patterns have a strange color and are very gorgeous. On the back, there is a ferocious dragon head, which contains a kind of evil feeling that makes people feel a chill.

"What a strange thing..."

Bronya shook her head, because the moment she picked up the card, it seemed that the method of using the card had entered her mind.

This is an "immortal" card. As long as you sincerely pray to the great creator of magical girls—the Dragon Girl of the Divine Capital—you will receive a blessing that will prevent you from dying once within 10 seconds. It will be destroyed after being used once.

"To be immortal, to be spared from death..."

Bronya couldn't help but find it hilarious. What could possibly be immortal? That doesn't exist, does it?

She wanted to throw away the strange card, but a voice in her head told her, what if the card was real?

This strange thing is definitely not an ordinary object.

Anyway, this card isn't heavy, so there won't be any problem carrying it around.

Looking at the dragon head on the back of the card that seemed to come alive, Bronya hesitated for a moment, but still put the card into her possession.

After putting the card away, Bronya continued forward. She knew that although the upper and lower city areas were supposedly sealed off from each other, they actually exchanged supplies every so often. She could go to the exchange location, identify herself to the Silvermane Iron Guards guarding there, and then return to the upper city area.

She had to give her mother, Cocolia, a direct report on what was happening here.

Of course, she didn't believe that the situation here was caused by the orders she had given, but rather that her mother had been misled. Therefore, both for public and private reasons, she had to return to the Upper City and explain everything in detail.

Then we'll find those who harm the people and deal with them one by one!

At the same time, it's also good to clarify things with the people in the lower district and resolve the conflict.

However, before they had taken more than a few steps, a clear, crisp sound rang out.

"Hey, Lord Black Hook is right here, can't you see him?"

Bronya followed the sound and looked down in surprise, only to see a small girl staring at her menacingly.

"The pitch-black...Lord Hook?"

Bronya was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant.

"Sorry, I'm quite busy right now and don't have time to play with you. Your name is Hook, right? Do you know where the place is for exchanging supplies between the upper and lower city areas?"

After hesitating for a moment, Bronya still asked Hook the question, although based on her experience, she could roughly guess the location where supplies were exchanged between the upper and lower city areas.

After all, the areas around such institutions are usually quite bustling.

But it would be even better if you could get guidance from the locals, especially for innocent children who are generally not good at lying.

"Hmph, you should call me Lord Black Hook. Besides, big sister, you're not from here, are you? We don't dress like that here."

"Yes, my sister is from the Upper City and wants to go back, so Lord Black Hook, could you take me to the place where supplies are exchanged?"

Bronya did not choose to lie. First, there was no need to lie to a child, and second, she knew that children are often much more sensitive than adults and might be able to tell that she was lying, and then start to throw a tantrum.

"Hmm, big sister, you have a good eye. I am the leader of the Mole Gang, Lord Black Hook. I am happy to lead the way for you, but... I would like to ask you to help me collect some cards. Just three cards, and I will take you there."

"card?"

Bronya suddenly thought of the card she had just picked up, but then shook her head. It couldn't be that much of a coincidence.
