To learn about Belobog's history, that's actually the simplest, isn't it?

All we need to do is find a library or a place that sells books.

There are definitely records.

I just didn't react for a moment.

This book happens to be a history book that records everything from Belobog's founding.

While it's certain there will be a lot of deletions, like the scandals of some Guardians, the most basic information is still there.

Chapter Forty-Six: Lin Nai: He's so real, I'm crying.

Lin Nai flipped to a page, pointed at the text above, and said:

"Look here."

"The Geomarrow grows beneath the surface of this planet, mined by specialized teams from the lower district, and then transported to the surface via pipelines."

"Conversely, the upper district uses the same pipelines to send essential supplies found only on the surface down below."

"Upper district? Lower district?"

Xing tilted their head, completely confused.

Seeing the puzzled expressions on their faces, Lin Nai flipped to the first page again, which contained a rough diagram of Belobog's upper and lower districts.

Things might have changed over seven hundred years, but the general structure should be the same.

Belobog's city structure is like two large discs connected together.

The upper district is responsible for administration and trade, while the lower district handles energy supply and resource extraction.

"...But why is the heater outside?"

March Seven still didn't quite understand.

"Who knows, but undeniably, it works this way."

It's unclear whether it's the Geomarrow that's useful, or if the power of The Preservation is protecting the city.

Afterward, Lin Nai turned the book in his hands to the third page.

"And I also saw the list of past Supreme Guardians here. The current Supreme Guardian... the so-called leader, is named Cocolia Rand."

"Cocolia Rand?"

"Mhm." Lin Nai nodded and began reading the text: "The eighteenth Supreme Guardian, Cocolia, originated from Belobog's lower district. After being chosen as the successor Supreme Guardian, she moved to live in the administrative district of the upper level."

"She attended the Belobog Military Academy. During her time there, Cocolia, along with Serval Landau and several others, formed a rock band."

"Subsequently, she graduated from the academy as the top student in her class."

"Wow! She sounds like a very accomplished person!"

March Seven exclaimed in surprise.

Dan Heng, however, noticed something crucial: "This Serval Landau, could it be..."

"Yes, she's the owner of the workshop I met last night."

"Is that so..." Dan Heng frowned slightly. "Is there a risk of exposure?"

As soon as Lin Nai went out, he ended up interacting with two rather significant individuals.

Lin Nai shook his head, certain. "No."

It's different from Pela.

Pela, after all, holds an official position; she's an intelligence officer for the Silvermane Guard.

But Serval is different. Although she was once a researcher in the City Construction Technology Department, she later fell out with Cocolia.

If things are explained properly, there probably won't be any issues, right?

As long as it doesn't harm Belobog, there shouldn't be any problem.

"Let's get back on topic and talk about Cocolia."

Lin Nai put on his gloves, took out a bag from System Space, and then took out a newspaper from it.

The newspaper was almost entirely yellowed, with various oil stains and other marks on it.

"Ew!!"

March Seven covered her nose and retreated to Lin Nai's bed.

Xing blinked, detecting a familiar smell.

Dan Heng frowned almost imperceptibly. "Where did you get this newspaper?"

"The second trash can in front of the Goethe Hotel."

Lin Nai looked helpless. After buying the book, he saw a familiar blue-haired person hunched over by the trash can.

Out of curiosity, Lin Nai went over.

But upon realizing it was Lin Nai, Sampo promptly fled.

Lin Nai looked curiously at the trash can, just in time to see the newspaper with Cocolia's name on it.

Wait...

This is bad.

Xing didn't dig through the trash can, I did.

"Wow..." March Seven wore an unnamable expression.

Lin Nai got dirty...

Lin Nai: What are you talking about! I'm wearing gloves, okay!!

"Ahem, let's not dwell on that. This is an old newspaper anyway."

Lin Nai placed the newspaper on the table.

This table won't be usable later either.

"Looking at the date, it's from a few years ago. Someone probably just threw it out today."

"I can tell."

Dan Heng unconsciously shifted a couple of steps to the side.

Lin Nai looked at him helplessly. Are you serious about moving two steps?

I'm being completely serious!

"Anyway, this newspaper says..."

"Cocolia withdrew the Silvermane Guard from the lower district to gather strength for a full assault on the Great Rift, but it was a suicide mission, likely a complete annihilation."

"And when it came to the lower district, Cocolia simply issued a lockdown order, prohibiting movement between the upper and lower levels."

Lin Nai summarized the newspaper's content in a few sentences, then tossed the newspaper and gloves into the trash can.

No.

It's just too disgusting.

I really don't know why Xing likes rummaging through trash cans so much.

It doesn't even smell good.

"But what does that prove?"

"It proves Cocolia has issues, of course."

Lin Nai lightly tapped the table: "Why did she withdraw the Silvermane Guard, and why did she issue the ban?"

"And not only did she prohibit the movement of personnel between the upper and lower levels, she even forbade discussion about the lower district."

"What happened in the lower district? You know, Cocolia herself came from the lower district. What's her objective in doing this?"

"Come to think of it, it is indeed very suspicious."

March Seven tapped her chin with her index finger, lost in thought:

"Won't this affect her reputation?"

Aren't leaders like these, besides tyrants and devils, quite concerned about their reputation?

"Obviously, she doesn't care."

To be precise, the Stellaris doesn't care.

And it's been pestering Cocolia all day.

Lin Nai sat down on the chair: "So, next, I think we need to investigate Cocolia."

"But... how do we do that?"

March Seven asked. They couldn't possibly contact the Supreme Guardian, right?

Just after March Seven finished speaking.

She, Xing, and Dan Heng all looked in sync at Lin Nai, who was drinking tea.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Lin Nai looked surprised.

March Seven, Xing, and Dan Heng exchanged glances.

"Lin Nai!" March Seven bounced over to Lin Nai's side and patted his shoulder: "The organization has decided to send you to contact Serval!"

"Huh?"

No.

Wait, why did I get assigned a task just by talking?

"After all, you see, Cocolia and Serval were in the same band, so Serval must know Cocolia very well, right?"

March Seven had a "you're the chosen one" expression.

You serious?

Do you want to play Pokémon too?

"Lin Nai, you're the one among us who's had the most contact with Serval, so you're the most suitable person for this,"

Dan Heng said, crossing his arms.

Xing put her hands on her hips and suggested, "Or, Lin Nai, why don't you be a bit bolder! Just take Serval into your harem!"

Xing: Just take Serval into your harem!

"What harem do I have?!"

After all.

He still hadn't kissed anyone…

Wait, he was kissed by Topaz in his dream.

That almost made him want to wash his mouth out with cement.

"Anyway, it's all up to you, Lin Nai! The mission codename will be… Pangolin!"

Xing and March Seven cheerfully assigned Lin Nai the mission.

Lin Nai sighed, "Alright, I'll go and talk to Serval. What are you two going to do then?"

"We'll be waiting for your good news, Lin Nai~" March Seven stretched lazily. "Ah, looks like we'll be staying on this planet for a while longer."

This was also a common occurrence.

How could the journey of trailblazing ever be easy?

It was normal to stay on a planet for ten days or half a month sometimes.
