The door of the residence slowly opened, revealing the huge figure of Swarro.

"You are... an unauthorized intruder."

Swarro looked at Kiana in front of him, and the red light of his one eye flashed.

The atmosphere in the courtyard of Swarro's residence was extremely tense. Kiana walked in leisurely, her eyes firm and confident.

"Swarro, we don't want to be your enemy. We just want to talk to you about the upper district."

Swarro's one eye flashed, as if examining Kiana.

"Analyzing... Analysis results: The target does not belong to the "Earth Fire" organization. Background: Unknown. Category: Unknown information. "

Swarro's voice was cold and mechanical, but Kiana did not back down.

"Look, as you can see, we are not from the "Underground Fire". Not only are we not from the "Underground Fire", we are not from the underground, let alone the ground. We came from the sky to help you solve the century-old gap between the upper and lower levels. "

Swarro's single eye turned slightly, as if digesting Kiana's words. After a moment of silence, he spoke again.

"Intruder, you are not qualified to negotiate with me."

Swarro's voice was still cold, but Kiana did not give up her efforts for peaceful negotiations.

"I understand, Swarro. It is my fault to trespass here without permission. But please believe that our arrival is not out of malice, but we sincerely hope to bring peace and change to this land. "

Then, Kiana immediately got to the point.

"Swarro, do you know "Star Core"? "

"Star core..."

Hearing this word, Swarlow's body seemed to tremble slightly, and the red light in his one eye flashed more frequently.

"Access blocked in the database... Talking about "Star Core" with unauthorized targets: forbidden."

There was an imperceptible fluctuation in Swarlow's voice.

"You are touching the secrets sealed deep in the world. Secrets that no human should know."

"Intruder! Leave immediately!"

Swarlow's warning echoed in the empty workshop, and the mechanical arm slowly raised, as if ready to attack at any time.

Kiana did not retreat at all and continued to speak.

"The so-called deepest secret is only for you. I just said that we came from outer space and came here to eliminate the barriers between the upper and lower levels. And the cancer that caused this barrier is the "Star Core". "

Swarovski's mechanical arm paused in the air for a moment, as if digesting Kiana's words. His single eye flickered again, as if re-evaluating the "invader" in front of him.

"Re-evaluating...Analysis results: The target may have important information about the "Star Core", but its authenticity and intentions cannot be verified. "

"Our intention is to open up the communication between the upper and lower levels and solve the source of all disasters in this world - the "Star Core""

Swarovski was silent for a moment, as if analyzing Kiana's words.

"In recorded history, humans have tried to contact the "Star Core" several times. Without exception, they tried to take the substance for their own use out of human selfishness - the city builder's order: Any attempt to contact the "Star Core" will have serious consequences. Re-evaluating - the target threat index has reached the highest. "

"Huh? This doesn't work? "

Kiana frowned slightly, obviously not expecting such a reaction from Swarro.

Obviously, the city builder gave Swarro a death order, and touching the word "star core" would directly trigger the highest level of threat response.

"I've said it before, we are not from "Earth Fire" or this world - and we are not the kind of people you said."

Kiana took a deep breath and tried to make her tone sound more sincere and firm.

"Swarro, I know you may not believe us, but please believe that we have no ill intentions. We really just want to help you and help the world."

"There is no evidence that you will be an 'exception'. Maintain the original calculation results."

Swarro's answer was cold and firm, as if there was no emotional fluctuation.

"The peace maintenance agreement is temporarily suspended...apply to start the eradication agreement."

"Eradication agreement? You are too unreasonable! "

Kiana frowned, looking at Swarovski in front of her, feeling helpless.

Swarovski's body slowly turned, and the cold mechanical arm

Aiming at Kiana, it seemed ready to attack at any time.

"Swarovski, are you really going to do this? We have no hostility, we just want to talk to you."

Kiana tried to communicate with Swarovski again, but Swarovski did not seem to be willing to give her a chance.

"Prototype No. 3 - "Supervisory Machine" Swarovski, the status of the application for the extermination agreement: approved."

"The program has been locked. Execute the command and annihilate the target. "

Swarovski's voice was cold and firm, and the mechanical arm began to slowly rise, ready to launch an attack.

Seeing Swarovski's actions, Kiana was indifferent, just quietly looking at him with her hands on her hips.

"It seems that the negotiations have broken down..."

Swarovski's one eye flashed red, and the mechanical arm moved faster and faster. However, Kiana did not seem to intend to dodge, but just stood there quietly, looking at the mechanical giant in front of her with a firm gaze.

Kiana just snapped her fingers simply,

Swarovski's huge mechanical arm suddenly paused in the air, as if it was bound by an invisible force, and then the whole body paused.

"Hmm?"

Swarovski's one eye flashed with doubt, as if analyzing the sudden changes in front of him.

Kiana smiled slightly and said lightly: "Swarovski, it seems that your body needs repair. "

As her voice fell, Swarovski's whole body suddenly made a sharp metal friction sound, and then completely lost control and fell down powerlessly.

Swarovski's body trembled slightly, as if trying to regain control of his body, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not lift his arm again.

This scene shocked Swarovski. He had never encountered such a situation and could not understand how this "invader" did it.

Kiana looked at Swarovski in front of her and sighed helplessly.

"We just want to communicate with you peacefully, but you keep trying to attack us. Now, you should understand that we are not the kind of enemy you think. "

Swarovski's one eye flickered, as if digesting Kiana's words.

"If I really want to attack you, you will be gone before you can even see me. Or I can directly manipulate your body and make you do whatever I want you to do. "

Kiana's voice was calm and firm, and her words revealed a strong confidence and strength.

"I didn't do this to you because of Clara - Clara also said that you are her only relative, so I don't want to make her sad."

After a brief silence, the red light in Swarovski's one eye seemed to become deeper.

"Clara..."

He repeated the name in a low voice, as if recalling every bit of his relationship with Clara.

"Can we have a good chat?"

Swarovski was silent for a while, and then spoke.

"Re-evaluating... "Peace Maintenance Agreement" is back in effect. The eradication agreement has been lifted."

As Swarovski's words fell, Kiana also lifted the control of "Erosion" on him.

Swarovski's body slowly stood up, and the red light in his one eye dimmed a lot.

"It seems that we can continue to talk."

Kiana said with a smile, her tone revealed a sense of ease and confidence.

"The evaluation system is restarting...converting variables..."

After a brief pause, Swarovski's body resumed operation. His one eye flashed again, but this time the light seemed to be calmer.

"Variable 1: The outsider has not been recognized by Clara. Variable 2: The motivation of the outsider."

"Evaluation results updated: Before Clara's recognition, the "friendliness" of the outsider cannot be determined for the time being. The "core" related information and the upper zone channel cannot be accessed. "

Swarovski's body turned slightly, as if examining Kiana.

"However, based on the previous "peace maintenance agreement", I will no longer attack you."

Kiana nodded, showing understanding.

"That's good, we just want to understand some things on this planet, and we have no other malicious intentions."

"Don't worry, I came here to negotiate in advance. Clara and the others should be back soon. "

Swarovski nodded slightly, as if accepting Kiana's explanation.

At this point, the two fell into a brief silence.

"Uh..."

"Well, Swarovski, should we... continue talking?"

Kiana was the first to break the silence. She frowned slightly, as if thinking about how to continue communicating with Swarovski.

Swarovski's body did not respond immediately. He seemed to be thinking about Kiana's suggestion.

.

After a long while, Swarro slowly spoke.

"Allowed - please feel free to ask questions, "outsider." "

Although his voice was still indifferent, it revealed a different kind of emotion.

Kiana's heart moved, she knew this was a good start.

But there was one more thing, Swarro no longer called her "invader", but "outsider".

"The real relationship between you and Clara is..."

Swarro's body trembled slightly, as if recalling his past with Clara.

"Family." Swarro answered concisely, although his voice was still indifferent, but it revealed a deep emotion.

"Well... I know it's family, is that all?"

Kiana was a little disappointed. She originally thought that Swarro would share more stories about him and Clara, but she didn't expect him to simply answer with one word.

"After repeated calculations, the relationship between Clara and this machine completely meets the definition of "family" in Beloberg culture. "

Swarovski's answer surprised Kiana. She didn't expect that the mechanical giant would take this problem so seriously and even perform calculations.

"Calculate again - the result is consistent with the results of the last fifty-five calculations. The existing data will not be re-edited for the time being."

Swarovski's answer made Kiana smile bitterly.

"Okay, I understand."

She shook her head and stopped asking the question.

Swarovski's body turned slightly, as if observing Kiana's reaction.

"So, do you have any other questions, "outsider"?"

He asked, still without much emotion in his voice.

Kiana pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, I still have some questions I want to know. "

…………

In this way, one person and one machine had an in-depth conversation without touching on topics related to the star core.

Swarro introduced the history, culture and social structure of Beloberg in detail, and also shared his daily interactions with Clara. Although his tone was still cold, Kiana could feel his love for the city and his concern for Clara.

During the conversation, Kiana gradually understood Swarro's way of thinking.

"Mr. Swarro!"

A crisp shout broke the conversation between the two. Kiana and Swarro turned their heads at the same time, only to see Clara walking towards them quickly.

Her face was filled with a bright smile, and her eyes were shining with excitement.

"Mr. Swarro, I'm back!"

"I saw that the energy supply system of the settlement was back online. Thank you, Clara."

Swarro's machine bowed slightly and thanked Clara.

"You're welcome, Mr. Swarro. This is what I should do. "

Clara responded with a smile, her eyes moving back and forth between Swarovski and Kiana, as if she noticed the communication between them.

"Have you...finished the conversation?" she asked curiously.

Swarovski nodded slightly, and the single eye on the machine flashed a faint red light.

"Yes, Clara. I have had some exchanges with this "outsider". "

Hearing this, Seer and the others also looked at Kiana.

"It's over? Nothing unpleasant happened?"

"Yes, you didn't have any disputes and fought?" March Seven asked curiously, with a gleam of expectation in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to a fierce battle scene.

Kiana smiled and shook her head, and replied: "Don't worry, we are just communicating in a friendly way. But regarding the star core and the opening of the lower area, Clara still needs to think about it. "

Clara heard this, her face was a little timid, she walked to Swarrow's side, looked up at his tall body.

"...Mr. Swarrow said that he was willing to fulfill every wish for me, right? Clara's biggest wish is that people from the upper and lower classes can unite together, like... like a family."

"In the past period of time, Clara has learned one thing - the results of "calculation" may not necessarily bring happiness to everyone."

"Even if you know that the world outside the cage is not so beautiful... people still want to stick their heads out to see."

Swarrow's body trembled slightly, as if thinking about Clara's words.

"Clara, your wish is beautiful, but I must remind you that it is not easy to realize this wish."

Although Swarrow's voice is still calm, it reveals a deep concern.

"I know, Mr. Swarrow. But I believe that as long as we all work together, we can definitely do it. "

Clara's eyes flashed with a firm light, she seemed

As if ready to meet the challenge.

Swarro was silent for a moment.

"Please... please tell everyone everything you know... Mr. Swarro"

Swarro nodded slightly, and his body made a low humming sound, as if responding to Clara's request.

"Re-evaluating... re-converting variables - variable one: Clara's request... variable two: the motivation of the "outsider". "

"... Updated evaluation results: transfer the decision-making power to the outsider, and allow access to information related to the "star core". "

Kiana and Seele and others looked at each other, and saw surprise and joy in each other's eyes.

Seele couldn't help but lightly hit Kiana's shoulder.

"It seems that your negotiation skills are pretty good, Kiana."

However, Kiana's mouth twitched.

"Ha, it's okay... it's okay. "

Alas, they don't know how this Swarovski can complete the negotiation so easily. If they don't show some skills, Swarovski will not give in easily.

"So, is this considered a success?"

March Seven blinked his starry eyes and looked at Kiana, seeming to be a little surprised by the result of her negotiation.

"Well, it's considered a success. Without Clara's consent, Swarovski will not let us access this information."

Kiana nodded with a satisfied smile on her face.

"So this is the end, right... After so long, there is finally hope for the "lower area." Seele looked at Swarovski and Clara, with an expectant light in Seele's eyes.

"Then, Bronya... As the successor to the next guardian... You will soon know the truth about this world. "Kiana turned her head and looked at Bronya, her eyes full of expectation.

Bronya nodded slightly and walked forward. Although she still maintained a calm expression on her face, she was still a little nervous in her heart.

"Finally... it's time..."

Seele looked at her, as if she knew what she was thinking.

"What? Are you nervous?"

"Rather than being nervous, it's better to say... something in my chest is hurting violently."

Bronya frowned slightly, as if trying to suppress the emotional fluctuations in her heart.

"Is this feeling... "fear"? " She asked herself softly, revealing a hint of confusion in her voice.

Seele walked forward and gently held Bronya's hand without saying a word.

Bronya felt the warmth of Seele's palm, and the fear in her heart seemed to be slightly relieved.

Xing also spoke her mind: "The truth is always heartbreaking, isn't it?"

"The truth is always heartbreaking, but sometimes, we also need to face it bravely and move forward. "

Kiana said to Bronya and the others, clenching her fist.

Looking at her fist, she thought of the time when she and her companions fought against the Herrscher of Domination, and the annoying Herrscher showed her the Plague Gem on the armor of Teacher Himeko. Kiana's heart sank suddenly. The Plague Gem - the Herrscher of Flame Core, was the only relic left by Teacher Himeko, and it was also the eternal pain in her heart.

She recalled the days when she fought side by side with Teacher Himeko, and those warm memories pierced her heart like a knife.

But she knew that she could not indulge in the sadness of the past.

That was the moment when Kiana snatched the gem, inherited the teacher's will and the faith of her friends and became the "Herscher of the Inherited Flame", which means the flame passed down from generation to generation, burning herself and illuminating the road ahead.

Bronya looked at Kiana's firm eyes, and her heart seemed to be touched. She took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner fluctuations.

"Huh - then..." Bronya looked at Swarovski, "Swarovski, reveal the truth to me."
