Cocolia's eyes moved toward the window.
In the distance, the Great Rift blasted by Orbital Cannon still emitted high temperatures, fighting against the ice and snow.
"Do you know what this blow means?"
"A large number of Void creatures have been eliminated, Silvermane Guards can relax a little."
"No, this means that Himeko has the power to destroy Belobog. That abyss is worth half a city. Even if she claims to have controlled the power of the railgun, it is an exaggeration. The current power is the limit. If the attack target is changed to Belobog, the Order in the city will collapse, the people will be displaced, and we can no longer protect anything."
Hearing the subtext in the words, Bronya immediately defended Outworlders.
"They did not destroy Belobog City. When they were clearing Void creatures in the alley, both Xing and March 7th restrained themselves to avoid affecting the street buildings. Himeko did not take action. Why do you want to imagine that kind of future?"
Because the seven-hundred-year history of Belobog has proven time and time again that reality is extremely cruel.
Because the Preservation Aeon of Preservation we believe in, as Hua Yi said, have never lowered our eyes for this Isolated City.
"Stand back, Bronya."
"Mother!"
"You must be tired, please step back."
"... Yes."
In the office and living room belonging to Supreme Guardian, Cocolia was finally the only one left.
The murmurs that were definitely not human voices suddenly sounded, telling something.
Cocolia was calm, as if he had expected it.
The voice came to her when she was a little girl.
At that time, it was a gentle and kind female voice, which made the listener lower his guard unconsciously. As the girl Cocolia responded again and again, until she became Supreme Guardian, and followed the guidance of the voice, Lower District Silvermane Guards was adjusted to Upper District. The female voice gradually became distorted and became the murmuring rant now.
The content never changes.
Strength, nourishment, new world.
For a long time, that was One's lifeline.
However, the information provided by Hua Yi changed the taste of this straw.
Cocolia looked at Great Rift, who watched the heat gradually decrease and snow began to appear. Great Rift would soon be buried by Wind and Snow again..
Chapter 150 Already expected
After leaving Kliperburg, we learned from the Administrative Department officials the location of the hotel mentioned by Himeko. They declined their offer to lead the way and said that they would still have to wander around. Hua Yi and his party finally ended their negotiations with Belobog officials and walked freely in the city.
The sound of Orbital Cannon reverberated in all directions. Even though the view in the city was limited by the high wall, the nearby Wind and Snow did not completely dissipate and still aroused widespread discussion among the citizens.
People say that in the distance where the frost and snow are flying, there is a faint sun.
The cold wind carries human voices and becomes the main background sound on the street.
Seeing Himeko thoughtful, March 7th and Xing even unable to understand the current situation, Hua Yi got straight to the point.
"Have you noticed? Cocolia uses the words Void creatures and life. Normally we call them monsters."
"Yes!"
"Looking at that Supreme Guardian, it doesn't look like the Virgin's heart is overflowing and trying to protect Void creatures. Otherwise, there would be no need to point out to Himeko where they are active outside the city - could it be that she pointed out a fake location?"
"No, the satellite did observe that there are a large number of monsters gathered there, and the intensity is extraordinary. It is indeed a dangerous zone."
"Cocolia has some unrealistic fantasies about Stellaron. This is not an exception in the universe. He made a wish to Stellaron and was killed by Stellaron's temptation, etc."
Hearing what Hua Yi said, Xing blinked twice.
Stellaron can still confuse people?
Then I also have one in my body. Has my eloquence skill level been improved, or my personal charm or something?
Galaxy Bat Hero has a clear mind. If she were not in a public place now, she would definitely bang Hua Yi on the wall, pose in a pose that she thought was cool, and then ask him "Do I look good?"
Himeko is a mature big sister, and her thinking is obviously much normal. I thought about the performance of Cocolia.
"If that's the case, there should be a subtle reaction when Stellaron and Stellaron are close to each other."
"Stellaron is not in the body of Kliperburg, let alone Cocolia, but she has the rhythmic fluctuations of Stellaron. That's why I emphasized the danger of Cancer of All Worlds and the power of the weapons of the great forces of the universe, and asked Himeko to demonstrate the rail gun in person, which is a warning."
If position of Supreme Guardian can be passed down for seven hundred years, there must be a mature successor training model, and education on fighting monsters and protecting the people will never be neglected.
In this case, Cocolia is still affected by Stellaron, and Outworlders cannot change his decision in a few words.
"She is stalling for time. Otherwise, even if she does not ask us to immediately help destroy the monsters and repair Fragmentum, she still has to explain the current situation of mankind against Void Erosion."
"Wow, I thought Cocolia was quite polite, but she turns out to be a bad woman!"
"Why don't you go back and expose her now?"
"There is nothing wrong with this delay. While most of the monsters in Snowfield have been cleared, I plan to propose going to Lower District tomorrow. There is no Silvermane Guards there. People will inevitably be displaced when facing Void Erosion."
Belobog The city on the surface is called Upper District, and there is another Hollow Urban Area structure underground, which is Lower District that mainly focuses on mining.
Originally, Upper District was responsible for economic and political functions, and Lower District provided ore energy, so they each performed their respective duties. However, since Cocolia transferred Silvermane Guards from Lower District and closed the communication between them, the two areas were disconnected and only regular material exchange lines were established.
"Express Intellect's records of Jarilo-VI are still in the era of lush vegetation. Could it be that Interastral Peace Corporation has the latest information. Did you check the information shared by the company in advance and make preparations?"
Hua Yi introduced it so clearly that Himeko looked curious.
Since landing on the surface of the planet, everyone has been together, and no one has seen Hua Yi learn this information from anyone.
"Well, because I understand destiny and can predict the future."
"It's obviously Nameless, don't always think about practicing [Mystery]. First, he claimed to cover the history of Belobog, and made completely Fictional Historian remarks. Now he looks like the Riddler again."
"Long live understanding!"
"Then since Cocolia has blocked Lower District, can we really go through normal negotiations?"
"Originally it wasn't possible, but after showing my strength, it won't be a big problem. It's just that in my opinion, it's best for Himeko to stay at Upper District and keep an eye on Cocolia. I'll go to Lower District, and the stars and March 7th will decide where to go."
Could it be that before you got off the bus, you asked me to participate in this Trailblaze journey, and you thought of the current arrangement?
The red-haired elder sister's eyes wandered, and she recalled Hua Yi's words and deeds again...
"That's why you let me use the rail gun? This will make Cocolia fearful and focus on me, but it will make her more vigilant, right? Even if I stay in Upper District, I can't come in and out of Kliperburg at will."
Sure enough, Astral Express can be repaired and [The Path of Exploration] can return to the big stage of the universe. Navigator has extraordinary wisdom and quick thinking.
Hua Yi also didn't hide it from his companions.
"I will propose that Bronya follow Lower District for good reasons. Bronya himself should also agree. Therefore, Cocolia will face the choice of whether to let the terrifyingly destructive Himeko act together with the heir or to personally keep an eye on the dangerous person who can destroy Belobog."
"It's scary and dangerous. Can you choose a nice adjective for me?"
"I am explaining the situation from the perspective of Cocolia, and it has nothing to do with personal evaluation. In my eyes, Himeko is obviously an intellectual, gentle, mature and beautiful La Signora."
"Well, it's not bad this time. I'll reward you with a cup of coffee later~"
"What about me?"
"Oh? You want some coffee too?"
"I want Hua Yi to praise me!"
"The star is handsome, March 7th is lively and cute, are you satisfied?"
"Huh 5.7 Huh, almost."
"Oh, I didn't ask for praise like Xing, but since you have already praised me, I will definitely accept it generously~"
Seeing this scene, the corners of Himeko's mouth curved in a charming way, and his face soon showed serious expression.
"I think it's better for March 7th and Xing to follow you. However, are you so sure that Cocolia, who is suspected to have been influenced by Stellaron, can still maintain family ties and put himself in the shoes of his adopted daughter? Bronya and she don't even have a blood bond."
"That depends on what she chooses."
After sharing his various considerations and plans with Express crew, Hua Yi changed the topic.
"The next step is free exploration time. Since Supreme Guardian is pretending to be friendly, we can't offend others' good intentions - I declare that all purchases will be recorded in Cocolia's account!"
Chapter 151 In the Square
In front of Kliperburg is a large square that Administrative District is proud of. It is the first place that ordinary people think of for a walk when they have nothing to do.
It is not like Golden Opera House, which mainly serves dignitaries, and it is also different from History Museum, which prohibits shouting and has only a few collections inside. It is a place where adults can chat and stop, and where children can play and play.
In the center of the square stands a strange-looking ice sculpture.
Considering that Belobog is covered with heating devices, the "ice sculpture" that is relatively warm and can maintain its shape for a long time should actually use some kind of ore.
A group of children gathered around a girl who was not much taller than them but was wearing a Silvermane Guards uniform, listening to her explain the history and culture of Belobog.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Intelligence Officer of Silvermane Guards, and I am also the temporary guide of Belobog's historical journey. Pela - just call me Pela."
"Pela sister~"
The children spoke in elongated tones and cooperated obediently.
Children who are full of energy cannot run outside the city to play. Void Erosion has even appeared inside Belobog recently. A street has since been blocked by Silvermane Guards, and the place for chasing and fighting has become smaller.
In the slightly empty Central Plaza, there is a young lady who is willing to be a guide and listen to stories.
"Pela sister~"
The young Xing imitated the behavior of the children and called the petite girl with blue hair and blue eyes her sister, which attracted the other party's side eyes and looked at the tall Galaxy Bat Hero, speechless for a moment.
"... Please adults please don't imitate children as if it's nothing."
Oh, I am an adult in the eyes of this Pela!
Stellaron can indeed bring Charm Bonus, I am also a mature woman.
After thinking about this, Xing decided to stand beside Hua Yi in a more reserved and elegant manner.
It's just that in the eyes of the latter, her expressions and movements are very funny.
"Okay, children, please take a look: this is the Everwinter nameplate, erected in memory of great City Builder. City Builders is a follower of Aeon of Preservation. Back then, Alisaland foresaw the crisis, built a high wall, and established Belobog, Preservation Core Flame of Human Civilization, this is the origin of Supreme Guardian."
"Master Cocolia also has the last name Rand. Are they from the same family as the Family?"
"No. The surname Rand is also in memory of Master Alisa. Every Supreme Guardian will be given the surname Rand after selecting a future candidate based on the entire Belobog. This is a kind of inheritance."
The knowledge Pela explains to children is quite useful.
"Stele Body of Eternal Winter Memorial Stele is composed of two parts, the gear that symbolizes knowledge and Industrial Power, and the huge ice crystal that symbolizes Great Cold. The gear binds the ice crystal, which represents the City Builders people's spirit of not succumbing to the wild nature."
Wild nature?
Doesn't she know that Great Cold originated from Stellaron and is a non-natural disaster?
Himeko has a better understanding of the internal consensus of Silvermane Guards. At the same time, it also shows from the side that Cocolia really knew about the existence of Stellaron. Otherwise, when Hua Yi mentioned it, he shouldn't have reacted that way.
You should be more surprised and start digging into it.
"By the way, these ice crystals are not real ice cubes, but Earth Core that has changed color. It is the main energy source we use. Its color is related to the ambient temperature during processing."
While Pela was introducing the history of Belobog and Eternal Winter Memorial Stele to the children, the shouts of newspaper sellers and people forming small groups could be heard from time to time.
"I want a copy of the latest issue of the newspaper, as well as all the previous issues in your store, as well as books on history, drama, fantasy, and more."
Hua Yi walked to the bookstore in the corner of the square and presented a big deal to the shop owner.
"Please give the bill to Supreme Guardian Cocolia."
"To Master Cocolia?!"
The shopkeeper was startled.
"Are you the purchaser of Kliperburg?... Sorry, I shouldn't have inquired about this. Well, please let me confirm again. Do you mean you need every newspaper and every book?"
"That's right. If you don't believe it, you can first ask Silvermane Guards to go to Kliperburg to confirm the situation, and then send the things to Goethe Hotel."
"Okay!"
The shop owner didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly found someone to confirm.
The ordinary Silvermane Guards is not qualified to directly ask for a meeting with Supreme Guardian, so Pela, who teaches history lessons to children, becomes the best candidate.
