Bab 73: Chapter 73: No Worries, Bella Will Take Action! (2k)
While discussing the issue of Stigmata Types with Welt, the group arrived at the meeting place with [Wildfire].
"Bronya already left?" Chase frowned slightly upon hearing Herrscher's account.
Knowing that Cocolia was highly likely to be influenced by the Stellaron, did she still choose to confront Cocolia alone?
It was understandable, but not wise. To put it nicely, it was like offering oneself to a tiger, and to put it bluntly, it was a futile endeavor.
"You should know about her relationship with the Great Guardian. There are some things she has to handle herself," Stella explained.
"What? She left us and went on her own? Why didn't you stop her then..." March 7th was a bit dissatisfied.
Meanwhile, Stella fell into a moment of silence before unexpectedly saying, "Didn't she leave Sampo behind too?"
"He still has value. We can send him away after we go up!" Chase suggested. Like Stella, he never found Sampo, the jester, pleasing to the eye. Besides, Sampo had a history of tricking them.
Sampo suddenly showed an awkward yet polite smile, trying to express his harmlessness. "Uh, Chase, I'm still here, you know..."
Chase ignored Sampo. At this point, he had already immersed his consciousness in the Stigmata and communicated with Sirin:
"Sirin, remember, people with thick eyebrows and big eyes like Sampo always manage to trick you at critical moments."
"Yeah, yeah, Sirin remembers." In the Stigmata space, Sirin replied seriously while eating the snacks Chase made, creating a movie-like atmosphere with the real-time broadcast of external situations, complemented by the snacks made by Chase.
Except for feeling a bit helpless when watching Bella sneak away, everything else was fine. Someday, she would come out and communicate with her family properly.
"Oh right, Bronya asked me to give this to you." Seele said, handing over a letter to the group.
Chase opened and read it, his expression becoming serious. After passing the letter around for everyone to read, he asked, "Who are the siblings of Landau?"
"Gepard Landau, the guard officer of the Silvermane Iron Guard. His sister is Serval Landau, the owner of the Upper Zone's Neverwinter Workshop," Dan Heng explained after reading the letter, crossing his arms with a cool response.
"So Serval Landau is Gepard's sister?!" March 7th was surprised; the difference in character between the siblings was too great.
"Maybe Gepard is the sister?" Stella' unexpected remark made everyone look at her in astonishment.
"???"
Chase looked helpless and silently said to Sirin in the Stigmata, "Sirin, don't learn from your sister Stella, especially her strange focus and peculiar habit of picking up trash!"
"Oh, okay." Sirin nodded quickly, observing the outside situation with great interest, and her gaze unintentionally fell on Bella, who had quietly held Chase's hand. She had a dark line on her face, gritting her teeth.
Sooner or later, I will triumph, and everyone will admire the glory of the Queen of the Void!
After getting a brief understanding of the situation regarding the Landau siblings from Sampo, Chase analyzed the current situation and said:
"No time to waste. Sampo, lead the way!"
If Bronya were to go find Cocolia like this, there were probably only four outcomes:
First, Bronya successfully awakened maternal love, and Cocolia woke up.
Second, Cocolia rejected Bronya's advice and imprisoned her, waiting for the entire train crew to come to the Upper Zone and capture them.
Third, Cocolia justified her actions by claiming family support. If her family supported her, it meant she was right; if they opposed her, they had become enemies.
Fourth, Cocolia let the [Stellaron] influence Bronya too.
From a general rational perspective, Chase leaned more towards the latter three options. After all, if maternal love could awaken Cocolia, it wouldn't make sense for the consciousness of a mother not to awaken.
As for Bronya betraying Cocolia? With her abilities and the [Stellaron] boost, Cocolia couldn't be dealt with by Bronya alone.
Now, they could only go to the Upper Zone first and break through!
With General Welt by my side, I will defeat Cocolia!
"Okay, friends, make sure to bring enough food and drinks. We'll have to climb quite a few stairs!" Sampo habitually rubbed his hands, smiling self-deprecatingly. "It's just a pity for old Sampo, at my age, I have to climb such high stairs."
"Then contribute your secret passage?" Chase frowned.
"Chase, my friend, I, old Sampo, have wanted to climb these stairs to exercise this old bone for a long time!"
...
After Sampo led everyone to the Upper Zone, he disappeared without a trace.
It wasn't that everyone had driven Sampo away, as mentioned earlier. Sampo had chosen self-exile. This... was fine?
Chase stared with interest at the sky. Since he crossed over, he had been staying in the Lower Zone, facing the same survival crisis as other wanderers. Looking for resources for survival while protecting the resources he found. As for the blue sky and white clouds, he couldn't see them.
The weather was perfect now, with blue skies, white clouds, a gentle breeze, and fresh air from a distance. Except for being a bit cold, everything else was excellent.
He suddenly understood the longing of the people in the Lower Zone for the Upper Zone. The yearning for beautiful things in the sky was hidden in the simplicity of despair, turning into an innocent dream.
"Where do we go next?" Chase knew nothing about the Upper Zone and began seeking opinions from the train crew.
"We can go to the Neverwinter Workshop to find Serval," Dan Heng suggested.
...
Neverwinter Workshop.
Chase and Welt stood on the side, quietly watching the negotiation between the trio from the train crew and Serval. Since they didn't know Serval, the task of negotiation naturally fell on Stella, March 7th, and Dan Heng.
Of course, Chase wasn't idle. He was discussing the next plan with Welt.
"Mr. Welt, Servalsaid that to reach the [Stellaron], we need to pass through the Iron Guard Restricted Zone and a large area of the Rift," Chase said. "Maybe we don't need to go through all that trouble."
"What do you mean?" Welt was puzzled, staring at Chase's pitch-black eyes, guessing something in his heart.
"After obtaining the approximate location of the [Stellaron] from Serval, Bella can directly send us there," Chase suggested. "Maybe I can use the abilities of the Herrscher, but it's not very safe. I haven't tried spatial transfer with multiple people..."
Welt's gaze shifted to Bella, who was standing next to Chase. He found Bella proudly hands on her hips, looking eager and ready.
This way, it seems not bad?
