The 6626 Destiny fighter jet roared to life, its massive form beginning to ascend and speed towards the Great Mine.
The miners and refugees in the Lower City were stunned as the fighter jet zipped past—it was the first time they had ever seen a flying vehicle.
{Belobog lost much of its advanced technology due to the Great Cold and the encroachment of the World of Calamity.}
"What is that!"
The refugees exclaimed, pointing at the fighter jet whistling rapidly overhead.
"How should I know? But it looks pretty cool..."
"Yeah, it's tempting to look at, but there's nothing we can do about it. We can't fly, after all."
"Right, let's get out of here. But at least we have something to talk about when we're bored?"
The refugees muttered as they watched the fighter jet quickly disappear into the distance. They nodded with a mix of regret and envy before returning to their own affairs. For example, they might steal Geodough or food that others had dug up. They usually didn't go too far, leaving some Geodough, food, and water for the miners they robbed. It was all about sustainable development~
At this moment, the fighter jet was flying low and fast towards the Great Mine. Some wandering robots detected its rapid approach and sent a message to Svarog, who was also in the Great Mine. Upon receiving this intelligence, Svarog took it very seriously. The images captured by the robots indicated that this was a lost technology from seven hundred years ago: the fighter jet.
This led Svarog to calculate the fighter jet's flight path and wait with Clara at the largest Geodough vein in the center of the Great Mine.
Svarog was an ancient relic from the old world seven hundred years ago. Unlike most unintelligent machines that only followed commands, Svarog possessed complex thinking abilities. In the eyes of a perfectly rational robot like Svarog, probability, expressions, attitudes, and emotions could all be assessed—a form of "objectification," in a sense. As a robot, he was calm and made decisions based solely on his stored database before handling his own affairs. As for Clara, Svarog had found a young human female in a landfill southeast of Rocktown and named her Clara.
In this cycle, Svarog would focus on finding Clara's family. Although Clara repeatedly stated that she had already found her true family, Svarog would continue to gather information to locate Clara's real family as soon as possible.
He also considered Clara his most important family member and the human girl he cared about most, exhibiting the behavior of an old father. From left to right are Svarog, Clara, and Hook. As for why Svarog came to the Great Mine?
The reason was that miners and wanderers in the Lower City had clashed due to unequal distribution of Geodough veins. This vein could supply Belobog with energy for two hundred and thirty-one days, with a margin of error of seven days. Clara had summoned Svarog because she saw wanderers injured during the dispute and wanted Svarog to help them.
Svarog stopped the dispute between the two factions and temporarily controlled the mining area. Svarog told Clara that if there were no sudden variables within thirty days, there would be no large-scale armed conflict. Clara believed she wanted to do more for the Lower City, while Svarog believed in trusting data. He thought humanity was both hateful and pathetic, always repeating the same mistakes, which was why he never actively participated in human conflicts.
This was also why Svarog and Clara maintained a reclusive lifestyle within the Mechanical Tribe. Because of Svarog and the gentle and kind Clara, the Mechanical Tribe, which was originally deserted except for them, gradually attracted more people and formed a warm and harmonious community. Influenced by Svarog and Clara, the people here treated robots as their good companions.
Now, Svarog held Clara on his broad shoulder, protecting the girl. He looked up with his cameras at the fighter jet rapidly approaching from low altitude. He instinctively extended his hand to prepare an attack, but when Clara indicated that they hadn't confirmed if it was an enemy, she asked Svarog to hold off for now.
Svarog glanced at Clara on his shoulder. His cameras flickered, and he nodded, lowering his hand that was ready to attack.
Meanwhile, the Stellaron Hunters Seele and Bronya in the 6626 Destiny fighter jet breathed a sigh of relief. They had almost crashed, which wouldn't have been funny at all.
Theresa also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she had spent ten thousand Joy Points to buy it. Although the fighter jet's attack power was indeed impressive, it couldn't compare to Svarog's. This fighter jet could be easily dismantled by any S-rank Valkyrie.
The fighter jet slowly landed before them under the watchful gaze of Svarog and the excited, curious Clara. Clara's eyes sparkled as she looked at the peculiar fighter jet; it was the first flying machine she had ever seen!
Having been raised by Svarog, Clara's hobbies were completely different from other girls. Other girls liked playing house or chatting and doing typical girl things.
Clara, on the other hand, was interested in all sorts of machines and robots. The more peculiar the robot, the more it piqued her interest. She had also developed very impressive repair skills, which had helped Svarog a great deal.
{Clara, be careful. I will be vigilant towards the visitors.}
Svarog said cautiously to Clara. Clara knew her combat ability was practically nonexistent, and she obediently nodded.
"Mr. Svarog, you be careful too."
Clara's words made Svarog look at her dotingly and nod.
"Whoosh~"
The fighter jet slowly descended and landed on a relatively flat area of the mine.
Then, the hatch opened. Seele emerged first, bringing a smile to Clara's face. Svarog also relaxed some of his vigilance. Although they weren't very familiar with the Underworld Fire, they weren't enemies either.
"It's Sister Seele! Mr. Svarog!"
Clara's excited voice also reduced Svarog's hostility.
{Mm, but it's not just her. There are other heat signatures inside that fighter jet.}
As Svarog spoke, Bronya followed, stepping out. The young girl stumbled slightly on her first step, almost falling, but Seele quickly stepped forward and caught her.
"As expected of a young lady from the Upper City, you're quite delicate. If I hadn't caught you, you would have taken a big tumble!"
Seele complained playfully as she held Bronya.
"Thank you, Seele."
Bronya smiled at Seele, who was holding her.
"It's nothing, no need to thank me. Don't smile so sickeningly, really!"
Seele's face flushed slightly as she glared at Bronya, her voice a little flustered. She awkwardly let go of Bronya, who stood beside her with a smile.
Then, the beautiful and lovely Theresa, March 7th, Stelle, and the stoic Dan Heng also disembarked from the fighter jet. To everyone's surprise and Clara's disappointment, Theresa then recalled the 6626 fighter jet into the system space.
Theresa was very afraid that the fighter jet she bought for ten thousand Joy Points would be damaged. It was an excellent means of transportation, especially since most people present could easily dismantle it, making Theresa understandably cautious.
Today's beautiful picture. She looks so good under the moonlight.
